Helian Manqiu smiled indifferently. With an unchanged expression, she softly said, "I got it. I'll go investigate more carefully and see if Gan Yuxuan has personally come."

"Yes."

The scouts got up and left, the generals were all worried, "Young General, what should we do now? "If Marquis Mang Tian comes to the military state himself and brings a large group of people with him, it'll be hard for the military state to survive."

"Young General, since the young general has decided to surrender to the Marquis of Heaven, we should plan ahead."

"Everyone, do not panic. Everyone, gather your men and get ready."

"Young General, dare I ask Young General, if Marquis Mang Tian is not willing to surrender, what should we do?"

"Everyone, don't you have confidence in me? I am very confident in myself! "

Her beautiful and pale face was as beautiful as a pear blossom. Her eyes sparkled, giving off a calming feeling of confidence and stability like a mountain. The Demon Generals were not obtained from empty spaces. Their smile and calmness made everyone feel ashamed.

As they leaned against the bedding and pillows, Helian Manqiu continued to give out orders, calming everyone down.

A letter, followed by an arrow, was shot from the east gate of the city into Gan Zhixuan's army. The soldier under Gan Zhixuan's command picked up the letter and sent it into the tent.

The military region was a border city, so the width of the city walls was twenty meters wide. With such thickness, one could already feel reassured in their ability to resist attacks.

Outside the tall, thick city wall, parallel to the wall was an artificially dug wide and deep trench that led into the river and became a moat. It had a width of thirty meters and a depth of five meters to prevent the enemy from invading. But now, the moat was no longer of any use. Many places had already been filled with soil and covered with bridges.

Looking down from the ramparts of the walls, it was as if the enemy were entering and exiting their own homes on both sides of the moat.

The top of the tall city wall was built on the outside of the wall, which was called the battlements, also called the battlements. There were crenellations on the top, arrows could be seen, and ventilation holes on the bottom to protect the wall.

The inner wall is called a woman's wall, also known as "disdainful", generally lower than the crenellated mouth, acting as a guardrail to prevent soldiers to walk down.

In addition, the interior of the city wall is also surrounded by roads and access roads.

However, what he saw today was that the walls were severely damaged. Many parts of the walls had collapsed. They could only be temporarily built with wooden planks and bricks. Naturally, they were unable to protect the city.

In some places, corpses were used as battlements. Amidst the blood-red glow, the faces of the exhausted soldiers could be seen.

On top of the city, Helian Manqiu asked the generals, "Are the weapons guarding the city extremely lacking? "How long more can you last?"

"I don't know. I don't know how much longer I can last. The brothers had not slept for several hours in the past few days. The casualties were too great, and now even the men among the commoners were included in the defense of the city and in the backup. The daily consumption is too great, and even if we demolish the houses, we won't be able to sustain them for long. "

"These are the weapons used to defend the city?"

Lying on the stretcher, Helian Manqiu pointed at the bricks on the floor, the wood, the stones, even the things that had been taken off the tables and chairs.

Blood was still seeping out of his cracked lips. His face was pale and exhausted. His eyes were sunken in, and his hands were full of wounds. There were also places on his body that were hastily wrapped. All the generals looked miserable. One of the generals licked his lips and smiled bitterly.

"We have run out of bricks, bricks and mud. We can't supply them and we don't have any rocks to roll around with, so we can only replace them with bricks and stones. "I don't dare to use all kinds of arrows rashly. I've already used some old men and strong women to make defensive equipment, but they don't consume as much as I do."

"Why don't you make some low-grade defensive equipment?"

"What is a low-energy defensive device?"

Tao Zheng widened his eyes in astonishment. "There is only so much equipment for defending the city. I have already used all that I can. Even the supply of gold juice is already insufficient."

The so-called golden juice was boiling after adding fecal juice to the poison. If it was poured down from the top of the city wall, not only would it injure the enemy, but it would also fester and kill the enemy.

Yellow because of the color, beautiful name of the golden juice.

Helian Manqiu lowered her head and looked at it, then pointed at a thick piece of wood with her finger: "You can do this, remove the nail head from the nail and insert it inside. The two ends are fixed with a rope, one end can be long or the other short. It could also be used to pierce through wood with a long iron rod, exposing half a foot on both sides. This way, it can be used to attack the enemy from above the city. "

"It's a good idea."

Unexpectedly, he came back with a cup in his hand. There was half a cup of water in the cup. "Miss, you should drink some water first."

Helian Manqiu took a sip of water and said, "If its length is about two to three feet, you can throw it by yourself. If you use two pieces of rope to fix it, you can retract it and use it again to avoid wasting time."

Tao Zheng's eyes lit up. "I'll immediately send someone to do it. This is very simple. It will be very easy to do a lot very quickly."

"Wait, if I pour some golden juice on it, the effect will be even better."

Tao Zheng raised his thumb: "Miss, you are vicious."

"For a small matter like this, you can just instruct them. Let me think, what good method do you have?"

His gaze shifted to the wooden board at the side. As it was thin, it had no use. Its greatest purpose was only to block arrows. However, after using it a few times, the wooden board would shatter.

"Will there be a lot of arrows when the enemy attacks the city?"

"Yes."

"Aren't we short of arrows and crossbows? Do they also fire arrows at night to attack the city? "

"Yes, most of the night it is, and no night is safe. "Miss, look. There are many barbarians here. We can attack the city from different directions, but we have fewer and fewer people. We just stay here all day and all night."

"Tao Zang, let the women wear the clothes and armor of our soldiers. Put them on the wall at night and let them shoot with their arrows. We can also, in the middle of the night, hammer the grass man down with ropes, but not below the walls, and only in half. "

"Miss, what's the use of this?"

"Ask them to send us arrows."

Both Tao Zheng and He looked at each other and thought for a moment. Then, they suddenly realized that it was a good idea. Tao Zheng quickly called a few people over and told them to get ready.

At the east gate, in the middle military tent, a soldier presented a headless arrow shot from the city. There was a letter on the arrow. Ginger's eyes were indifferent as he looked at the letter on the table.

The messenger who had delivered the letter to the military camp was exorcised. He must have wanted to surrender by sending this letter. He was slightly puzzled as to what Helian Shan had done to move him and make him surrender. The young general had taken the place of Helian Shan and given out orders. The dilapidated city could no longer withstand the attack of his Iron Army.

Gan Yuxuan stretched out his hand and opened the letter. One day and one night?
