The night is getting darker, but there are soldiers patrolling the top of Shanggu City from time to time, to be on guard against the Chetuo people repeating their old tricks of attacking the city gates at night.

The lights shine as bright as day.

"General, the Chetuo people have sent in many letters of surrender from outside. They say..."

The deputy general who was sent on inspection came back again. He seemed to be holding something in his hand, but he stopped talking.

Zheng Xin did not rest in the general's mansion, but shared the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, wearing full armor, a large horse and a golden sword, and sitting at the gate tower, always on guard against night attacks by Chetuo people.

"say what?"

Zheng Xin stared with a pair of red eyes.

The fighting during the day had already made him exhausted, but unfortunately his opponent was the famous King Chetuo, so he could not go back to his mansion to rest in peace no matter what.

"The letter says that as long as you, the general, surrender, King Chetuo is willing to give you a high-ranking official's salary, a car and a beautiful woman, and he will also recommend you, general, to be the general of the Chetuo Kingdom..."

Before he could finish his words, Zheng Xin had already snatched the surrender letter and tore it into pieces.

"This is just a little trick by the enemy to shake the morale of our army. Please pass on my order. If anyone in the army discusses this matter in private, they will be dealt with according to military law."

Zheng Xin sneered at King Chetuo's cherishment of talents.

Three generations of the Zheng family have been owed the emperor's favor. If they betray their late master for the sake of glory and wealth, how can they face their ancestors a hundred years later?

Now, he only has one thought in his mind, which is to firmly defend the Shanggu City entrusted to him by King Shiyu no matter what.

However, Zheng Xin could turn a blind eye to this matter, but the soldiers and people in the city would not treat it as if it had not happened.

It's just that first of all, the Shanggu City has not yet reached its end, and secondly, the Shiyu Kingdom and the Dashi Kingdom have repeatedly fought here for many years, which has also developed the tough folk customs of the people here.

This group of Shiyu people who have not lost their pride still firmly believe that they can persist until reinforcements are mobilized from other places, and by then the siege of Shanggu City will naturally be solved.

Early the next morning, the soldiers on guard at night were preparing to hand over the task at hand to their brothers who were changing defenses.

Suddenly the earth trembled, and the sound reached my ears from far to near, and in an instant it turned into the roar of thousands of troops galloping.

"Enemy, it's an enemy attack——"

Before the guard who made the sound even got off the top of the city, he was shot through the right eye by an arrow from afar, and his body fell from the top of the city with a thud, no longer alive.

No one would have thought that the Chetuo people would choose to attack the city at the most relaxed time when the Shiyu people were changing their defenses.

What followed was overwhelming rockfall.

"Young Master, can I shoot this arrow accurately?"

King Chetuo put down his precious bow and proudly showed off to the deputy commander beside him.

"Your Majesty is the destined emperor. Naturally, he is as brave as before, and no general will ever be able to match him!"

The deputy commander named Shaoqing was sincerely convinced.

An arrow from six miles away pierced the guard's eye socket. Although King Chetuo had the advantage of a magical weapon, what was even more impressive was his amazing eyesight.

An ordinary master of providence can see the smallest grain of mustard within a hundred meters with his eyes. Among them, a good bowman can handle everything in detail within two miles, but he can still maintain his sight even from a distance of six miles. Obviously, this King of Chetuo

His efforts are quite impressive.

He really is a worthy person despite his great reputation!

King Chetuo nodded helpfully, raised his whip and pointed it at the gate of Shanggu City, sighing with regret.

"That guy finally rejected my good intentions. King Shiyu is so debauched and immoral, how can he be worthy of his allegiance at all costs? I think this person must be a determined person. Even if the city is destroyed, there will be no possibility of surrender.

Let’s leave his whole body alive for burial.”

"only!"

Qu Shaoqing put his hands together in a salute, keeping this in mind.

"The siege ended yesterday. How many of the 40,000 surrendered soldiers are left in Dashi?"

King Chetuo looked away from the city, suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked in a casual tone.

"Your Majesty, there are still more than 32,000 soldiers who entered the camp first. Are we going to continue to let them go first today?"

The deputy commander respectfully reported the number of people counted last night.

"Forget it. If you continue to be cannon fodder again and again, even a group of sheep will start to resist."

"Please pass on my order. For today's siege of the city, anyone who is the first to enter the camp can sign up voluntarily. I only want absolute warriors. Anyone who survives today's battle will be promoted to two levels of nobility. They will be given acres of land. They can also be promoted if they are demoted.

For the people of the country.”

"I only want three thousand people!"

Yesterday's siege was just a test by King Chetuo, and today it just kicked off.

When the army was properly mobilized, the deputy commander selected the three thousand soldiers who would first ascend to the camp.

They are all elites in the army, and more than 2,300 of them are old Chetuo people who followed King Chetuo in his expeditions in the north and south. The rest of the Great Eaters are also elite soldiers in the army.

"I will pour the wine myself and drink with all the strong men!"

"Whoever is the first to board the city at that time, this glass of wine and this wine bottle for the royal family will belong to him!"

King Chetuo raised the wine pot and slowly poured the amber liquid into the wine bottle. The gold wine bottle radiated dazzling brilliance in the sun.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and besides, the wine is poured by the current king himself.

When the Shiyu people fought again, they suddenly felt the pressure.

…

"Damn it, these Chetuo people are like taking aphrodisiacs, why don't they even take their lives?"

Chen Laoba is a veteran of Shanggu City. He has fought dozens of offensive and defensive battles like this, but he has never seen such a brave soldier who is not afraid of death.

My finger was broken, I bit it with my teeth and was splashed with gold juice, but I still endured the burn and climbed to the top of the city.

"Boss, if you continue to beat me like this, my brothers won't be able to hold on any longer!"

But there was no response from behind.

Chen Laoba turned his head in confusion, and what he saw was Lao Wu Chang's eyes that were staring blankly, and the striking head of the Chetuo man hanging around his neck.

Even though he was shot through the waist and abdomen, the opponent still tried his best to die with the old captain.

This bravery made Chen Laoba feel a little scared.

But soon he had no time to think too much. Two more Chetuo people boarded the city. Chen Laoba gritted his teeth and was about to stab him with his spear when he tripped over something unexpectedly and staggered involuntarily.

For a moment.

not good!

A last thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment Chen Laoba was pinned to death by two spears on the city wall.

As for the person who held him back, it was actually an old Chetuo soldier who had not yet died.

The siege lasted from early morning to noon, and the city walls of Shanggu City almost fell several times, but Zheng Xin led his men to repel them in time.

Seeing that both the attackers and defenders were hungry, the Chetuo people's offensive finally eased a bit.

"Boss, why is it that the Chetuo people's artillery cart seems to be misfiring today? It's not half as loud as it was yesterday. Could it be that there are not enough stone cannons?"

While he was munching on dry food, a deputy general laughed out of his misery.

"Yesterday the Chetuo people were just a test, and all those who went into battle were new recruits. It's different today. In my opinion, at least half of them are veterans in the army. The Chetuo people's artillery carriages are so tame today. I'm afraid they think it's just relying on them. These people are enough to break through the city gate."

Zheng Xin looked worried.
