At the end of Chapter 424, it was close to the early hours of the morning, the darkest hour before dawn, and the huge city of Osgilia was visible to the naked eye from a high place, and the city was full of fire, and many neighborhoods had fallen into chaos.
Hughes looked up nervously at the sky from time to time, and all the plans for tonight had been carried out here, and almost all the goals had been achieved.
At present, the Wellington City Gate has been firmly grasped in his hands, and the large teams outside the city are mobilizing and are continuously driving from the Wellington City Gate into this mainland heroic city that is known as never falling.
At this moment, the rebel army has entered the city has exceeded 10,000 troops, the most advanced is the cavalry headquarters of the Armenian Military District under Hughes himself, more than 5,000 cavalry have all entered the city, and the follow-up infantry regiments are constantly marching in from the narrow bridge outside Wellington.
The infantry entered the city a little slowly, and there were still a lot of baggage ordnance to carry.
But Hughes was very sure in his heart.
Just a moment ago, the garrisons of the other city defense areas on both sides near the Wellington Gate had spontaneously launched two counterattacks towards the Wellington Gate, but both were repulsed by the rebels, and Hughes did not even order troops to take the area of the other sections of the city wall, but only ordered to hold the gate firmly.
After more and more rebels entered the city, the Imperial defenders on both sides seemed to have finally given up their plans to recapture the city gates, and the scout cavalry sent out reported that the Imperial defenders seemed to be withdrawing from the other defense areas on both sides.
Taking advantage of the night to attack the city and seize it in one fell swoop, such a completely risky move was a great success, but then Hughes took a cautious step by step, showing a very conservative and steady attitude.
Those officers and generals under his command are all high-spirited, and they have not achieved anything in the fierce battle for half a year, and they have succeeded in breaking the city in one fell swoop tonight, and many generals are eager to try, and they have asked Hughes to fight several times, and many people have strongly demanded that the army immediately drive straight in, take the cavalry brigade as the vanguard, concentrate all the cavalry, and immediately attack the palace, as long as they can rush into the palace in one fell swoop, then this battle is considered a victory.
But in the face of his high-spirited subordinates, Hughes resolutely refused his subordinates' invitation to fight.
In the face of the doubts and incomprehension of his subordinates, Hughes did not seem to show the slightest joy of successfully breaking the city.
The governor of the aristocratic faction had a solemn expression at the moment, and explained to his subordinates in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that it is difficult to break through Osgilia, but tonight we came in, not our real strength, but half calculation, half luck, this is the best opportunity, but at the same time, I also need you to understand that this is our last and only chance to attack the city is a risky move, and we have to do it as a last resort, but now the city has been broken, and we have the opportunity to win this war, There is no need to take risks anymore, because this is our only chance, half a point of risk, as long as we gather the army, wait for the dawn, and then the army will push it flat, and we will naturally be able to sweep the city, and we don't need to take risks at the moment, and it is the best choice to do so."
Some subordinates were worried: "My lord, what if the emperor runs away, if he runs away from the emperor, let him run to the south" Hughes smiled disdainfully: "Running Osgilia is a symbol of the empire, if the emperor runs away and leaves Osgilia, then the emperor is not the emperor and runs to the south, and he is just a lost dog, and it won't be much of a climate."
Besides, the outside of the city is surrounded by us, and where can he run unless it is Garcia, that kid will suddenly fly."
"But there is still a fleet of Landis at the harbor terminal, and the sea route is still controlled by the Landis."
Hughes looked even more disdainful: "Lantis Hmph, if that kid Garcia really got on the Landis ship to escape for his life, I would laugh even more because the Landis people participated in the war to gain benefits."
But if the emperor is still in the city of Osgilia, he is naturally still the emperor, if he really hides on the ship of the Landis, without his own territory and army, he is equivalent to getting into another cage, if he is really stupid enough to do that, he will become a puppet in the hands of the Landis, and he will no longer be the emperor."
Forcibly pacified the twitching of his subordinates, Hughes gave a tough order: "The whole army continues to hold on and continue to receive the army outside the city into the city to firmly guard the gate of Wellington, those imperial defenders on both sides do not care about them, if they dare to counterattack, they will be repulsed, but order your subordinates, do not pursue and wait for dawn, the army will gather in the city, and then sweep them in one fell swoop" When Adric arrived at the Arc de Triomphe, the rebel offensive outside the Arc de Triomphe had stopped, and the rebel army, which had shown a fierce and fearless attitude a moment before, retreated like a tide, leaving behind the dense corpses spread on the bridge outside the city.
Outside the triumphal arch, the corpses under the city gate were piled up more than a meter high, broken swords and broken knives could be seen everywhere, and there were screams from time to time among the corpses, and the rebels retreated in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to drag the wounded soldiers down.
As soon as the defenders of the Arc de Triomphe came to a halt, they welcomed the brigade brought by Adric.
Spann was no longer at the Arc de Triomphe, and Adric learned that Spann had taken nearly half of the Arc de Triomphe with him when he left, and if it weren't for the fact that the rebels outside the city were still attacking the city at that time, Spann would have even ordered the entire army to retreat.
The news that the city gate of Wellington has been broken has not yet spread, at least here in the Arc de Triomphe, the defenders have not yet received the news, Spann has strictly controlled the spread of the news, but he is afraid that the army's heart will be chaotic, in case the army's heart is scattered and the Arc de Triomphe is also captured, then it will really be a big trend Only two regiments of city guard infantry remained at the Arc de Triomphe, but the actual combat strength, plus the wounded soldiers who could barely go into battle, would not exceed three thousand.
The rest of the men and horses were taken away by Spann and retreated in the direction of the palace.
Although Adric knew that Spann was helpless, the imperial decree was pressed, after all, Spann had been a general in Yanjing for a long time, his surname was strict and calm, and he had never let out to lead the troops, so naturally he was not as rebellious as himself, and disobeying the imperial decree was something that the solemn Spann could not do.
But there was still a wave of anger in Adric's heart.
When Spann ordered the evacuation with his brigade, the 3,000 defenders who remained at the Arc de Triomphe were still fighting fiercely with the rebels besieging the city outside the city, and they were unaware of the rest of the battle in the city.
It is even clear that these 3,000 men have been abandoned, and their only mission is to hold the Arc de Triomphe for as long as possible, and delay it for a longer time, so that the remnants of the city will have time to retreat to the palace and protect the emperor's safety.
These 3,000 people were abandoned.
Adrick has been so injured that he can't ride a horse, after all, he has been fighting horses for half his life, even if he is strong, he is also a middle-aged person, his physique is not as good as before, tonight is a fierce battle, the sword on his waist almost killed him, he can support and fight fiercely for half the night, and he is already considered to be his Adric surname is strong.
At this moment, once he was relieved, he could no longer support it, and the sergeant beside him could only find a carriage to dismantle the carport and let the chief general sit in the carriage and command along the way.
Adric gathered several defenders along the way, and thousands of people had already arrived at the Arc de Triomphe, and most of the people who had followed him had already learned of the loss of the Wellington Gate and the entry of the rebel brigade.
In the last days, the imperial defenders have been able to hold out for half a year until now, many of which are due to the presence of Adric, a famous general of the empire, and most of the city guards are native to Yanjing, even though many of them were drawn from other local armies in the past, and they have also settled in Yanjing over the years, and their homes are in Yanjing, and they have the intention of protecting their relatives in their homes, so they are willing to fight to the death in the past six months.
Osgillia at the foot of the continent, and the first heroic city on the mainland, known as the city that will never fall, although the situation is so corrupt, everyone always has a glimmer of hope in their hearts, counting on the command of the famous general Adric, and this heroic city in hand, maybe hold on, always wait for the turnaround, until the day when the rebels retreat But all this, these beliefs are supported until tonight, with the Wellington gate being conquered, the rebels entered the city in a big way, and this city that never fell was finally opened a gap, And the pillar of General Adric has also been seriously wounded, although thousands of people have gathered at this moment, most of them are panicked, and their morale is inevitably low.
Such an army, if it is in the field, I am afraid that it is already on the verge of collapse, but after all, this is a lonely city, even if there is already a desire to flee in my heart, but where can I flee and Adric's Jiwei is still there, barely gathering people and horses all the way to the Arc de Triomphe, and there are no deserters, which is not a small miracle.
After arriving at the Arc de Triomphe and joining up with the defenders here, Adric immediately ordered the storehouse to be opened and all the ordnance removed.
The troops he brought with him were all urgently pulled down from the defense areas along the way, and many of them only brought their weapons with them, and the archers did not even have time to replenish their arrows.
Fortunately, the Arc de Triomphe has always been the most important part of the city's defense, and a large amount of ordnance is stored in the barracks under the city.
It was hot for a while, and the sergeants were busy, barely dispelling the despair in their hearts.
Adric sat in the carriage, and although he could not move, he forcibly supported his spirit and ordered the defense of the Arc de Triomphe to be rearranged to one side, and the fortifications and the sharp wood of the fence were all put in order.
At the same time, he sent dozens of horsemen out and went in the other direction of the city defense along the triumphal arch, bringing the military order written by Adric himself dipped in blood to mobilize the defenders to assemble.
He only hoped that Span's movements would not be too fast, and that he had not had time to let the city defenders in the other direction also withdraw, and that he could mobilize more troops.
As dawn approached, the night wind grew bitterly cold, and Adric, though seriously wounded, insisted on refusing to let his men carry him into the barracks to rest.
He insisted on sitting in the open carriage, and even had the barriers on both sides of the carriage removed, and the seat cushions under him were made higher, and he Adric sat in the carriage, the most conspicuous place in the barracks.
He knew in his heart that tonight's battle situation had reached such a situation, and the army's spirit would inevitably be shaken, and at this time, he himself was the backbone of the whole army, and he wanted to keep himself in the most conspicuous place, so that his soldiers could see their existence when they looked up, so that they might be able to appease some of the army's dissipation a little.

Adrick was seriously injured, although after coming to the Arc de Triomphe, his subordinates had already found a doctor from the chaos, and he didn't even know where to drag out a clergyman from the church who knew how to heal, and gave Adric emergency treatment, and under the effect of healing, Adric's wound was barely healed.
But after wiping the blood stains off his face, this general, who has always been full of heroism, was pale and frightening, and because of too much blood loss, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of blue and gray gas.
Sitting in this open-air place, dragging his seriously injured body, blowing a biting cold wind, Adric's face was extremely gloomy, but he still looked around with those sharp eyes, and passed down military orders from time to time.
Next to his carriage, there were some officers in the army, all of whom were looking at the general with blank eyes at the moment.
No matter how much everyone respects this scar-faced general in their hearts, but the situation is like this, everyone doesn't dare to expect this Adric general to rely on the little force in his hand to bring back this situation.
At this moment, what everyone is waiting for is, perhaps, just the last heroic ending.
The sent horsemen came back one after another, and Adric finally waited for some good news, and Spann retreated in a hurry, perhaps intentionally, or unintentionally, and Spann did not give orders to the defenders of the other city defense sections.
Adric guessed in his heart that Spann might have known that he couldn't disobey the imperial decree, so he deliberately left such a foreshadowing to give himself room to perform.
The cavalry sent to bring back a different number of defenders, as few as a hundred ten, as many as one or two battalions, all of which, on Adric's orders, abandoned the fortifications of the city, discarded the barracks and the baggage of ordnance, and came to assemble lightly.
When the first faint white light of dawn emerged from the end of the sky, nearly 10,000 defenders had gathered up and down the tower of the Arc de Triomphe.
As soon as the number of people increased, the momentum suddenly rebounded slightly.
Adric blew the cold wind for a long time, and his body trembled a little, he looked at the officers around him who were looking at him, and finally spoke: "Come here, the officers at the battalion level are here." ” Within a few moments, no less than a hundred officers had gathered around Adric.
The tiger general of the empire coughed twice, although in the cold wind, his coughing voice was weak, but he faced the cold wind, and stood up on the carriage, although his hands were laboriously supported on the carriage bar, Adric still refused with his eyes the guards who tried to reach out to support him.
"I know you're all desperate right now."
Adric's mixed coughing and wheezing sound fell into everyone's ears, some frowned, some hung their heads, and some closed their eyes, not knowing what was going on in their minds.
"Perhaps, you think in your hearts, in such a situation, what else can I Adric is not a god, I can't cough twice, and shake the rebels who have already entered the city away.
Perhaps, what some of you think in your hearts is that it is just that everyone gets together and finally fights the rebels, and dies vigorously and heroically, asking for peace of mind, right?"
No one spoke below, but someone involuntarily looked at the coach, and the meaning in his eyes seemed to have acquiesced.
"I need you to fight to the death, and I also need you to show the strength not to be afraid of death.
But I don't want you to despair," Adric raised his tone a little: "Because, I, Adric, are not dead now, I stand in front of you, I can tell you that we are not desperate, we still have hope of victory, we still have a chance, I tell you, we have not come to the end yet, we still have a chance to win this war, although this chance is very weak, but it is by no means what you imagined, the last kill, a vigorous death, not so, I only need to know now is, Do you still have the guts to continue to gamble with me on the already slim chance of this difficult road to victory?"
Before he could finish his words, many officers raised their heads and looked at Adric, and many of them showed surprised and excited eyes.
In such a desperate situation, this famous general of the empire, he actually said it himself, there is really hope We are not in a dead end Adric said a few words, choked by the cold wind, coughed a few more times, and some blood foam appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he still stopped the guard who was about to reach over with a stern look, straightened up again, and shouted: "I have never told lies in my life, fought for half my life, and I don't know how many times I have been born and died, I have not encountered dangerous situations, I must admit, this is the most critical juncture in my life to this day, but I Adric can still tell you, We haven't lost all yet, as long as you believe in me, trust me unconditionally, and resolutely carry out my every order, then we still have a chance to win."
Finally, an officer below couldn't help but shout: "Your Excellency, you say, what do you want us to do, even if we are desperate, the worst is just death, we have all reached this point, what else dare not bet?"
Some people said loudly: "My lord, we naturally listen to your orders, as long as you say that we still have hope, we will gamble our heads and follow you to do a fight."
"The worst is just death" Hearing that there was finally a little anger among the officers below, Adric breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but smiled proudly: "Don't open your mouth and close your mouth, although the chance of death is weak, but we may not necessarily lose, if we can win, who wants to die haha" He finally sat down in peace of mind, and sat down in the broken carriage, but at this moment, Adric's bearing and calmness were the same as when he used to sit behind the strict military tent table.
"I know you all wonder in your hearts, where is our opportunity, I tell you, the rebels successfully attacked the city tonight, but they still left us room to play, I can see clearly, it was Hughes himself who led the team into the city, and I don't know the surname of this guy.
He risked his life to attack the city tonight, which was already the boldest and most risky move he had ever done in his life.
He was able to do this because the situation forced him to do so, if he didn't take risks, it would be a dead end, so he fought hard, and he won a fight.
However, after the city is broken, he will definitely become restricted, not because he does not want to take Osgilia, but precisely because he wants to take Osgilia too much, he wants to win this war too much, and tonight, after he has succeeded in one of them, he has grasped the best and greatest opportunity since this war, and at the same time, the only opportunity, he will definitely become a loser, and act conservatively."
The more Adric spoke, the more confident he became, and there was an undoubted certainty in his tone: "You see, the rebels took the gates of Wellington in the middle of the night, and now it is almost dawn, and when he comes in half the night, he gathers his forces in a group, and there is no follow-up action, he did not immediately send troops to drive straight into the palace after entering the city, because he thinks that such a move is too risky, in case of a scuffle in the city, his army will not be able to gain a foothold, and it may be driven out by us, so, He is now reluctant to take any more risks, and now, we can still stand here in peace, calmly arrange the defenses, guard the triumphal arch, we can also pull down the troops in the defense area along the way, bring them over little by little, gather together, but the rebels, Hughes, there is no movement, you look up at the direction of the Wellington gate in the distance, the fire has been extinguished, but the fire has not spread, and the rebels have not scattered until now, there is no movement in that direction, which is enough to prove, My guess is not wrong at all Hughes, he is trying to be safe now" "His current plan is to refuse to risk letting the army drive directly into the city, and fight with us in the city at night, his plan is to wait for dawn, pull the rebel brigade outside the city into the city as much as possible, and then fight a street battle with us with superior forces, and fight a war of attrition.
He had a good idea, there were few troops in the city, and they would fight in the streets, although they would be tricky, but they would be tough head-on, and they would definitely win in the end.
This idea, it cannot be said that he is wrong.
But alas, he met me Adric."
"If I were Hughes last night, as soon as I entered the city, I would immediately mobilize all the cavalry and attack the palace with the most ferocious and rapid attitude, even if I can't really take the palace in one fell swoop, as long as I can set a fire and let the direction of the palace be on fire, then what do you think, how will a large number of our defenders who are still on the city defense be afraid that everyone will see the shouting and killing sound and sky-rushing fire coming from the direction of the palace, and it will be chaotic Hughes did not seize this opportunity, it is his heavenly surname that hums, although he is some kind of bullshit governor, But this guy is a nobleman at heart, he is not a good general at all, losing this opportunity will be his biggest mistake, we have another half a night's time, we can withdraw the teams of each defense area one by one, gather here to rectify the morale of the army, and prepare for battle, all thanks to Hughes, that idiot gave us" Saying that, Adric actually really raised his head, facing the direction of the Wellington gate in the distance, laughed loudly, and shouted: "Hughes old mongrel, thank you, thank you for giving Lao Tzu time to breathe, thank you for your stupidity, hahahahahaha" Adric's style was another undisguised contemptuous tone, which immediately made many officers under his command laugh.
With such a smile, the heaviness in everyone's hearts suddenly dissipated a little, and some officers couldn't help laughing loudly: "My lord, what you said is right, Hughes, that guy seems to be too timid, but you said that we still have a chance, how should we fight this next battle?"
Once the heaviness in their hearts was loosened, many people's brains were also activated, and some people even worried: "My lord, the imperial decree is for us to give up the city defense and retreat to defend the palace, now let's do this, isn't it?"
Adric smiled proudly: "This is precisely the opportunity of this battle The palace is just a small imperial castle, although there are canals and city walls, and the fortifications are complete, but an imperial city, as long as there are three or five thousand troops, it is enough to defend it for a long time Lord Spann has gone, and the troops he brought, plus the patrols he gathered in the city, and the original royal forest army in the imperial city, the total number is enough to have three or five thousand, with the ability of Lord Span, these troops, it is enough to defend the palace, even if we all pass, It's just a little more spare human life.
But let's stay here and firmly control this Arc de Triomphe stronghold is the key to victory in this battle."
He paused, and said quickly: "The rebels have entered the city, and they will definitely attack the palace immediately during the day, but we are still here, which means that there is still a big nail left in the city, and the rebels will not be able to concentrate all their energy on fighting the imperial city, and they must divide their troops to deal with us, we still have tens of thousands of troops here, more than enough to protect themselves, and there are even some forces that can go out of the camp to fight with the rebels in the streets, and even support the palace, although we can't support the palace, but there are some movements behind the rebels' butts, so that they can't attack the palace with all their might, It is to achieve my goal, as long as we are still firmly guarding here, standing firmly here and not falling, the palace will be safe."
"But if we hold each other like this, how can it be an end," some officers said in a low voice with worried faces.
"We don't have to wait too long" Adric immediately said loudly, and then pointed in the direction of the distant harbor: "Have you forgotten that at sea, there are also Landisians, hahaha, what do you think those Landisians are risking to join this war for?"
As soon as he said this, some people below immediately laughed loudly: "Why else are those cunning Landis people who come all the way to help us fight the dead in order to make profits, where can the Landis people be so kind?"
Although Landis participated in the war and became an ally of the Byzantine Empire, the whole army understood in their hearts that these Landis people participated in the war for profit, so although they were allies, they might not have any good feelings towards Landis.
"Not bad," Adrick immediately shouted: "The Landis have entered the war, their goal is to reap the benefits, they want to reap a lot of benefits, but to reap the benefits, the premise is that they must win this war, if they lose, they will not be able to get anything, so the Lantis people will not watch us lose at this moment, even more anxious than ourselves, more than we all hope to win this war, the transportation line of the sea is firmly controlled by the Landisians."
And don't forget that in Catania, Rantis already has two corps of troops logged in, and at this moment it is stationed in the port of Catania, Catania is far from Osgilia, if you come by sea, it is only a two-and-a-half-day boat journey, and there is naturally a magic array in the palace, which can transmit the news of Osgillia, even if Catania gets the news, take some time to gather troops, and then come over, full of calculations, in three days, they have to crawl over to save our Landis have a fleet, There are the best sea ships, they will come to the rescue of us no matter what, for their own interests, we will come to the rescue for three days, as long as we can hold on here for three days, the Landis people will definitely come from the sea, Catania's two corps of Landis's elite army, will pounce from the sea, as long as the troops of Lantis's two corps arrive, when the time comes, hum, this situation, is five or five again" This analysis really gave a road to victory in the hearts of the already desperate people, although there was little hope, although they knew that they would have to defend here for three days, they were afraid that they would not know how many desperate battles they would have to experience, and they were afraid that they would not know how many people would die and how much blood would be shed However, in a desperate situation, there can be such a glimmer of hope, even if it is so weak, everyone's hearts are suddenly lifted Adric shouted: "We have survived half a year, but now it is only three days, and it will pass in the blink of an eye, I want you to trust me, and fight to the death with me, because what awaits us is not destruction but the dawn of victory."

At the end, Adric raised his sword and shouted: "For the Empire" Many officers below were enthusiastic, and they all drew their long swords and pointed at the sky, shouting loudly: "For the empire" Adrick tried his best to drag his injured body, and this speech boosted morale, and finally reluctantly made the generals' hearts glow with a little fighting spirit.
To be able to do this in such a desperate situation, Adric has already done his best, and to be able to do this, he is already worthy of the identity of a famous general of the empire.
But after the crowd dispersed with high spirits, Adric sat alone in the carriage, but secretly wrinkled his brows, and a deep worry flashed in his eyes again What he said to the generals just now was not a lie, it was all the real plan in his heart.
It's just that what he just said is not all of the deeper plans in his heart, but he can't talk to the generals He painstakingly gathered these horses and horses, and did not go back to protect the imperial city, but placed them in the military camp under the triumphal arch, and made a posture of stubborn defense, which seemed to be quite unwise in the eyes of others.
But at the moment, Adric had to do it Perhaps it only takes three or five thousand people to guard the palace to last many days, and this reason is true.
But Adric had other plans in mind In such a situation in the city, although he is still unyielding in his heart and still has the desire to win, his own will is tenacious, but he cannot guarantee that others will also have such a strong mentality Especially the young Majesty in the palace His Majesty Garcia seems to be more extreme and frivolous than the old emperor, and he is too eager to do things, and it can be seen from the hasty act of making a covenant with the Landis that the young emperor is too eager to do things.
This kind of surname, once it encounters a big setback, it is easy to collapse At this moment, one of the situations that Adric fears the most is that if the emperor in the palace is crushed by the situation of the broken city, once the mentality collapses and is completely decadent, the emperor is likely to choose to escape To escape from Osgillia, the best option is to have Landis's fleet from the sea port, as long as the emperor runs to the harbor, drills into the Landis warship, and runs to the sea, the rebels have absolutely no strength to compete with Landis's fleet at sea But this is a situation that Adric does not want to see in any case Because Lantis is ambitious, he knows it.
If the emperor once ran to the ship of the Landisians, it was equivalent to giving up Osgillia and giving up Osgilia, then it would be equivalent to losing the war, and after losing this war, what value would he, the emperor, have for the Landisians to use, nothing more than to become a puppet controlled by the Landisians, and even when the captives are strange, you, the emperor, took the initiative to go to the armies of other countries to seek protection, and it was precisely this other country that was still ambitious, maybe from now on, The Landis simply took the young emperor hostage for the benefit and even had a great rebellion in his heart, and Adric would rather Emperor Garcia die in battle in Osgilia than see him escape to the Landis warship Therefore, he knew that the situation was dangerous, and even willing to risk such a big sacrifice, but he also wanted to defend the stronghold of the Arc de Triomphe, just to give a signal to the emperor in the palace: If you want to escape, there is also a chance on the land that the Arc de Triomphe is still in our hands If the emperor wants to escape, he can choose the Arc de Triomphe, and there are tens of thousands of defenders of the loyal empire here Garcia wasn't an idiot after all, and if he had another choice, he probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to get into the Landisian army.
But Adric had to "leave" such a land choice for the emperor, otherwise, with Garcia's frivolous and radical surname, maybe once it collapsed, it would really run to the ship of the Landis, and when the time came, the emperor was in the hands of others, and Byzantium was not at the mercy of the Landis Another deeper thought: he desperately gathered the defenders of the city defense along the way, and gathered the remaining troops in the city as much as possible in his own hands, also to prevent His Majesty from escaping in the direction of the harbor There are only so many soldiers left in the city, and there are more of them here, and fewer of them are there for Span.
Anyway, if it was to defend the imperial city, the three or five thousand men that Spann brought with him would be enough to ensure that until the day when the Landis came to their aid from the sea.
If he also ran to the palace with his men and horses, in case the emperor wanted to give the order to run to the sea, he would not be able to stop it, but let the emperor have enough troops to choose to break through.
Therefore, he must not go to the palace, nor can he leave too many troops for the emperor, so that he has the intention of breaking through The best thing to do is to give him troops, and the stubborn defense is more than enough to break through but not enough, so that he has no intention of escaping This kind of practice is really not in line with the position of a courtier, and even some of them gamble with the emperor's safety.
But with such a situation, Adrick really has no other choice sighed for a long time, but these thoughts in his heart must not be said to these generals under him.
Adric pressed his waist, although the wound was healed on the surface, but the wound inside was easy to heal so quickly, and the sword at night was afraid that it would also hurt the internal organs, and he had fought for many years, and the hidden diseases left by the war over the years, his body was not as good as before.
Although I was sitting there at the moment, I felt a sharp pain in my lower back.
Although Adrick tried his best to look energetic in front of his subordinates, only he knew how badly he was injured The general took a deep breath of cold air, the cold air penetrated into his chest and lungs, and there was a faint pain of tearing, but this cold pain made people rush to a burst of pleasure Adric looked up at the sky, and in the distance, a bright white gradually spread.
This day, after all, is bright "Give me some more time, God willing."
Adric clenched his fists and whispered to himself: "As long as Lao Tzu does not die, this falling sky, I, Adric, must carry it back to the thousand-year national fortune of the empire, and I can't bury it in my hands because this is my country, my home."
Swearing in his heart, Adric forcibly pulled himself together and turned around and shouted: "Someone" Immediately a guard came under him: "Your Excellency" "Go, go find a few of the biggest horns, and then find a few soldiers who are full of energy, stand on the head of the city for me, blow loudly in the direction of the palace together, blow desperately for a moment, and let people take turns when you are tired, I want to go from morning to night, and the trumpets will continue to let the people in the palace hear the sound of our horns here."
The guards asked, "Your Excellency, what is the trumpet?"
Adric groaned slightly, a hint of compelling light flashed in his eyes, and his face seemed to glow with a kind of brilliance, taking a deep breath, Adric said loudly: "Blow the victory triumph to let the people in the palace hear us, let them know that we are here, we are here." ` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
