Wucheng,
A trace of sadness flashed in Wu Jing's eyes.
She listened to her subordinates' report and closed her eyes slightly.
Last night, the last male of the Wu family died in battle in the city. There were more than two hundred Wu family servants, all of whom died in the battle, and no one escaped from the battle!
"Have their bodies been brought back?"
Hearing this question, the messenger who was still reporting suddenly stopped in his voice.
He opened his mouth and tried to speak several times, but no words came out.
Wu Jing obviously noticed something unusual about him at this moment, so she frowned and asked.
"What, is there something unexpected? Didn't I send someone over to take care of it?"
When the messenger heard this, a look of pain appeared on his cheeks.
He knelt on the ground and suddenly burst into tears.
"City Lord, my subordinates are not doing things well. Please punish me, Lord City Lord."
"Before our people arrived, they encountered the obstruction of the Hou Jin people. They tried their best, but the Hou Jin people were like locusts passing through the border, and they couldn't kill them all!"
At this point, the messenger was already crying.
When Wu Jing heard the news, she staggered and almost fainted.
The so-called servants of the Wu family are just disabled veterans who have retired from the battlefield.
When my father saw how pitiful they were, he kept them at home. I didn't expect that today...
Wu Jing closed her eyes in pain. After a moment, she asked in a hoarse voice:
"The bodies of the third uncle and all the heroes are still there, still..."
"It's still in the hands of the Hou Jin people."
The messenger closed his eyes in pain. This tall man could no longer hold back at this moment, and tears fell down from the corners of his eyes...
When Wu Jing heard this, her resolute body trembled again.
But this time, she calmed down quickly.
Although she is young, she has been trained by her father for many years. Therefore, in terms of military literacy, it is still extremely solid.
The main force of the Hou Jin people had not moved all night, which naturally aroused her suspicion.
But with so many siege equipment, she couldn't help but treat them with caution.
"Have you found any information about the Houjin people?"
Upon hearing this question, the messenger's expression was slightly startled. He didn't know why the city lord suddenly mentioned this matter. But he still said painfully:
"City Lord, our scout camp is gone. Even those who were sent out, no one has come back now."
"So now we don't know how many Houjin people are ambushing outside Wucheng?"
Wu Jing frowned again, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
If the Houjin people had enough troops, they should order a large-scale attack with siege equipment at this moment. Coupled with the invasion of the upper west gate, the entire Wucheng would be attacked from both sides.
When Wucheng is breached, it will only be a matter of time.
But looking at the reaction of the Houjin people, it seems that they are still standing still. Is there a possibility... that the Hou Jin people were feinting from the front?
Wu Jing was startled by this bold idea.
Because if this is really the case, then the fall of the west city gate and even the sacrifice of the third uncle and a group of veterans were due to his own mistakes in decision-making.
Thinking of this, her cheeks turned slightly white.
She once again looked deeply at the massive siege equipment not far away. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Let Xiao Liuzi and the others investigate the situation of the siege equipment again. In addition, we will mobilize 3,000 troops from the main entrance to recapture the bodies of Third Uncle and all the veterans!"
Upon hearing this order, a flash of excitement flashed in the eyes of the messenger.
He doesn't understand how to organize troops, nor does he understand what the overall situation is. But he understands one thing: a hero cannot be left dead!
So he nodded heavily and was about to turn around and issue an order when he heard the head guard frowning and saying:
"City Lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Wu Jing frowned, the anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed at this moment. But she knew very well that the captain of the personal guard was the person chosen by her father, and he had the intention of assisting her. So she suppressed the anger in her heart and asked coldly:
"What's wrong?"
The chief of guard understood that Wu Jing was angry at this moment. But he also knew in his heart that at this moment, it was the time for him to stand up. Even if he offends the city lord or even loses his life, he will not hesitate.
"City Lord, please calm down. The road in the direction of the west city gate is narrow and there is no shelter around it. Even if we send a large group of troops there, they will only be a living target for the Houjin people."
When Wu Jing heard this, a hint of thought appeared on her cheeks. She was not reckless, she was just angry for a moment and got carried away.
Now that I think about it carefully, I feel that what the chief of guard said is not unreasonable.
Now that Wucheng has made huge sacrifices, its own garrison soldiers are not that sufficient.
If these three thousand people suffer huge casualties, then Wucheng will completely lose the ability to fight the Houjin people.
Wu Jing frowned deeply and sighed heavily.
"Is there any reply from the military camp?"
At this time, the messenger finally brought good news.
"City Lord, there is a reply from the military camp. Although they were also attacked by the Houjin people last night, they were not seriously damaged. They are marching towards Wucheng at the moment. Reinforcements will arrive in a few hours at most. .”
Wu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
As long as we wait for reinforcements from the military camp, the problem of insufficient soldiers will be greatly alleviated. As long as Wucheng still exists, it will still have the power to fight.
Thinking of this, she nodded slightly and said calmly:
"In this case, we will transfer two thousand people from the main gate to form a defense line around the west city gate. Even if we risk our lives, we will not let the Houjin people step into the city!"
"Subordinates take orders!"
…
west city gate,
Jin Shuangxing listened to his men's report, but the anger in his eyes did not decrease by half.
"Trash, a bunch of trash!"
"If you can't even protect my nephew, what do I want from you, general?"
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the Houjin soldiers who were kneeling in front of him changed. They were originally under Commander Xiao Jin, but the Dazhou people they met last night were as terrifying as devils!
They were nothing like the two-legged sheep they had encountered in the past.
The leader of his family was careless and underestimated the enemy, and died in the hands of the opponent. As the saying goes, when a tree falls and the hozens scatter, and Commander Xiao Jin dies, they naturally just want to escape.
It would have been a capital crime to escape when the enemy was in battle, but they happened to encounter friendly forces who rushed to their aid.
So they took the opportunity to join the reinforcements and surrounded these Dazhou devils.
In the end, the devil of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who went deep alone, died in the hands of the brave and fearless soldiers of Hou Jin. Of course, the price paid makes many people ashamed.
"Snapped!"
Jin Shuangxing smashed the wine glass in his hand, his eyes widened, and he looked like he was going to eat someone!
"Do you know how many casualties this general has suffered because of your desertion?"
