The Wei army was in a mess, and the soldiers who were guarding the city walls did not dare to relax at all, for fear that the enemy would increase their firepower to attack again. On the four corners of the observation deck, a group of soldiers with good spirits continued to monitor the enemy's actions.

Because Zhao Fu and Qian Hui were not present, Ning Nanyou was worried, so he supported his weak body and limped up to the stone steps stretching into the ground in the city wall. Seeing this, Lu Xun snatched away, reached out to stroke his arm, and said anxiously: "Where is your lord?"

Ning Nanyou looked at the towering wall and replied weakly: "Although Archie withdrew his troops because of insufficient morale, the timing of withdrawal is somewhat strange. The border city defense and Changming army have only been training for a few days. Even with the command of me and Aluo, we should not have repelled the 400,000 coalition forces of the Xiongnu and Xianbei so quickly. I always feel that Archie has any conspiracy."

Lu Xun did not think so: "The alliance between the Huns and the Xianbei was not strong. Our army fought desperately, but Shanqia led the Xianbei soldiers and horses to retreat one after another, obviously leaving a way out for himself. If Archie failed to attack the city, the Xianbei people would have a saying in the Great Wei that they would clean up the unjust act of raising troops to invade. The subordinates thought that... the Xianbei retreated to the army as expected."

Ning Nanyou glanced at him and said softly: "Do you still remember the news that the scouts came from the bank of Canghe River two days ago? Shanqia received a quick report from the Xianbei lord, asking him not to have any conflicts with the Huns and to do his best to help the Huns attack the Great Wei. The king's orders are like a mountain, how could Shanqia violate it?"

Lu Xun was slightly stunned, lowered his head to think about this matter, and gradually felt that there was indeed something strange about it.

Ning Nanyou immediately said: "Besides, even though the 200,000 Huns' army was greatly damaged in the previous battle with us, they did not lose many troops. Think about it carefully, how could the 40,000 defenders defended by hundreds of troops compete with the Huns?"

Lu Xun gradually thought deeply and gradually discovered the abnormality of this matter.

He asked, "Lord, the Huns and Xianbei are just small attacks on the city, and our army is exhausted. The next battle situation... how to reverse it."

Ning Nanyou pressed his eyes, and the coldness spread in his eyes, and he did not answer his question.

The master and servant supported each other and walked towards the border wall.

The crossbowmen and shield soldiers who were guarding the wall were covered with scars. Although there were not many casualties, the expressions of their forced support on their faces were already very obvious.

The military Chinese medicine practitioner rushed forward and hurriedly carried the injured soldiers down from the city wall. The young and strong people in the city spontaneously organized themselves and rushed to the top of the city to clean up the bodies of the enemy soldiers hanging on the squat.

Ning Nanyou walked to the center of the city wall, stood against stone bricks, and looked down from top to bottom. Five miles away from the border town, dense Hun soldiers and Xianbei soldiers stood intertwined. Archie stood in the middle of the crowd, holding the flags of the Xianbei and the Huns with Shanqia, shouting loudly.

The city wall was not far from where the army gathered. Ning Nanyou listened carefully to the sound coming from there. Although it was clearer, Archie negotiated with the soldiers in the Xianbei language of the Huns. He could only vaguely understand a few words, knowing that Archie was boosting morale.

Soon, the army surrounded the open space in front of the border city from inside to outside, from left to right. Nine or ten people walked into the middle of the encirclement with a black iron pot, encouraged by the army.

The iron pot is as big as a small lake spring, and can hold four or five people.

Ning Nanyou witnessed the Hun soldiers raising a bonfire and erected this iron pot as big as a lake.

Instead of adding water to the pot, they threw the bodies of Changming soldiers who were dragged from the border town into it and burned it.

Ning Nanyou's black eyes were half-hung, and his eyes were extremely cold.

Archie actually raised his morale by burning and steaming the bodies of Wei soldiers?

This person is indeed as rumored, extremely cruel and inhumane.

The border town and the Huns each quit their own battles. Time flew by, until late at night, and Archie did not re-energize the city. This made the Wei army guarding the city even more panic and the morale gradually shook.

Hunger and thirst have suppressed the soldiers' rationality, and everyone has become panicked in private. Zhao Fu and Qian Hui have not appeared for a long time, which has also made Changming's army feel uneasy.

Ning Nanyou suddenly understood.

The reason why Archie dragged the Xiongnu and Xianbei coalition forces to refuse to attack the border city was that it was waiting for the morale of the border city to be in chaos?

His eyes were cold and he immediately attracted Lu Xun and Qianshan, and ordered them to distribute the food, grass and water that had been hoarded in the houses for the soldiers and the people.

Fortunately, Jiang Chengjia specifically instructed Ang Lee and others that he did not tell the soldiers and the people about raising grain and water again in the border town. At present, if there is food and water supply, it should be able to slightly stabilize the morale of the army.

Jiang Chengjia was accompanying him, staring at the military doctor who treated Ning Nanyou the re-created wound.

The two sat opposite each other, their faces pale like ghosts.

"Erlang, I'm afraid the act of distributing food and water... can only temporarily stabilize the hearts of the military and civilians in the border city. If Archie continues to defend outside the border city and refuses to attack the city... The psychological line between Changming's army and military defense will sooner or later break the defense." The majestic "Little Langjun" spoke softly, and the "male body" and female voice looked extremely strange.

The military doctor who wiped Ning Nanyou's wounds on the side always felt something was wrong. He frequently stared at Jiang Chengjia's face, but he could not believe this set of helmets and armor. There was a delicate and beautiful woman hidden under this young face.

Jiang Chengjia ignored the military doctor's look and stared at Ning Nanyou.

A pair of deliberately drawn eyes, sharp and angular, obscuring her original affectionate eyes. When others looked at them, they felt fierce and cold. But Ning Nanyou looked at her calmly. No matter what the girl in front of him dressed herself up, he could quickly recognize her through her eyes.

The jade-faced man, who was open-clothed, clenched his fists and endured the severe pain in his chest, took a deep breath, suppressed the trembling of his body, and said to her: "It's already night. Archie shouldn't wait any longer. The reinforcements in the capital and Xiao Sa's troops will arrive in the north at most tomorrow evening. If he wants to successfully attack the city, he will definitely raise his troops again tonight."

Jiang Chengjia listened to it and calmed down to think about the next battle.

In the border town, whether it was Changming's army or military defense, the strength of the troops had dropped sharply in the battle just now. The number of casualties reported by soldiers from each battalion was also shocking. Not to count the minor injuries, there were already 20,000 soldiers seriously injured and died.

The Jingshu led by Lu Xun and Qianshan was not damaged by one soldier, but no matter how strong they were, the 20,000 troops could not withstand the enemy's 400,000.

This endgame has made her unable to adjust her defenses and plans.

Qian Hui and Zhao Fu have not yet found any trace, and she is the only one left in the city, Ning Nanyou and Bai defended the three main players.

However, after fighting a tough battle, she felt weak all over, her hands and feet were cold, and her body felt like a human-eating ants gnawing, and she climbed up again. She was at the end of her strength and fought desperately.

Ning Nanyou was not much better. The biggest wound on his chest affected his performance, causing some injuries to the back of his spine.

As for the two of them, the underground soldiers were naturally not much better.

The troops were tired and had just finished cleaning up the mess in the city, and a loud drum sound came from the north gate of the city wall.

Ning Nanyou immediately sat on the table and stood up. He got up too fast, and he felt dizzy in front of him, and almost fell. Jiang Chengjia hurried forward to caress him, both of them shaking, and finally stood firm.

The military doctor was startled and said in a hurry: "Master Zhouwei, your injury has not been bandaged yet..."

Ning Nanyou interrupted him and said, "No need, you go down. The drums on the top of the city are already ringing, and there is no time."

He hurriedly wanted to wear a helmet, robe and armor.

Jiang Chengjia stopped him, snatched the white cloth from the military doctor's hand, bandaged him a little, and reminded him: "Even if the time is urgent, you must take into account the injuries. If you and I fall down, the border town will be really helpless."

Ning Nan's worry was relieved by her and she let her bandage her for herself.

Jiang Chengjia prepared his clothes and put on thick and hard armor for him. He said with a little more silence: "Tonight. No matter how difficult it is, I will hold on. Ning Zhaoyuan, I hope you can hold on too. You and I will return home together after the journey to the north ends. Don't let me down, don't break my promise to me."

Her eyes were filled with tears but her eyes were firm. She looked at the husband opposite her, and she was extremely calm.

Ning Nanyou stared at her, his heart softened, and he nodded silently and said, "Okay. I promise you."

Jiang Chengjia lowered her eyes and took a deep breath: "Let's go. I'll go to the battlefield instead."

The two of them stood far away, kept a certain distance, and were silent in the tent for a moment, and at the same time raised their heads and walked towards the outsider of the curtain.

The two of them walked together and drove towards the north gate together.

The sound of drums in the city gate kept hitting, resounding throughout the sky. But the north gate was quiet and Archie did not lead the troops to attack.

Jiang Chengjia's eyes showed surprise, and Ning Nanyou was also worried about the scene in front of him.

The two of them flipped down from the sky and rushed to the stone steps of the city wall. They happened to see Lu Xun's anxious look at the city gate stretching his neck and waiting.

Ning Nanyou frowned and strode to Lu Xun, and asked in a low voice: "There is no war in front of the city, why is the drum ringing?"

The moment Lu Xun saw him, he seemed to have seen a savior. He ignored the rituals of the master and servant, grabbed the husband's wrist and said in panic: "Lord! You are finally here! Alzi!"

At this point, he suddenly stopped.

Lu Xun was so anxious that he could not say what he said next.

A sense of ominousness arose in Ning Nan's worry: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chengjia stood beside him, with deep eyes and staring at Lu Xun tightly, hoping to get the exact news from him.

Lu Xun struggled for a while, and didn't know how to speak, he pointed to the wall anxiously and said, "Lord! Girl, please go to the city to have a look."

After he finished speaking, Ning Nanyou didn't even have time to respond, so he picked up his robe and ran towards the stone steps.

Jiang Chengjia followed closely behind.
