On the third day, Lian Yao's attack on the city became even more ferocious, completely ignoring the heavy casualties and determined to use the human wave tactic to break through the city gate.
It also put a lot of pressure on the army in Tokugawa City.
In the city, a group of generals were having urgent discussions: "The old city lord's subordinates suggested that he immediately send an emergency report to the city lord to request for reinforcements."
"Yes, if this continues, we are small in number and don't have enough explosives, just in case."
"Ah Shu, what do you think?"
Mu Xiao turned to the silent Yao Shu.
He was very convinced by Yao Shu's ability.
Moreover, knowing that she and his wife came from the same place, he knew that it must not be simple.
"I don't agree."
Yao Shu was dressed in black and her ponytail was neatly tied up: "This time the city lord led troops to conquer Huangfu Ji, which was time-consuming and laborious.
If we recall him at this time, everything will be in vain.
Now our losses are somewhat higher than expected, but don't I forgot that the siege force must be at least three times larger.
They don’t have even one.
We don’t need to mess up our position first.
I believe that with everyone’s concerted efforts, they will definitely be defeated without success.”
"I agree with Ah Shu's opinion."
Mu Xiao stood up and said, "Cheer up and fight the enemy city lord at the front.
We also want him to have no worries."
Even so, the offensive of the southern army became more fierce.
In order to alleviate the situation and to boost the morale of the army, Yao Shu asked the soldiers to use a batch of explosives.
Sure enough, the southern army retreated a lot when they saw the explosives, allowing them to temporarily relax.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time Yao Shu had experienced a war.
Seeing a person fall in front of her, covered in blood, or missing arms and legs, she felt painful and entangled in her heart.
It's not that she has never seen death, but now, it is no longer death, but destruction.
Dozens and hundreds of lives disappear in the blink of an eye.
But she couldn't stop, and she couldn't stop wanting to solve this problem permanently.
It wasn't as simple as a temporary truce, but complete unification.
Just when the situation at the city gate was serious, news came from the palace that Xiao Mu An was ill.
Yao Shu and Mu Xiao talked and hurried back to the palace.
Mu An was always in good health and had never been sick.
Why did you suddenly become ill?
"How are you, Mother An'an?"
Yao Shu didn't even have time to change her clothes.
Song Qing put her finger on her mouth: "An An just fell asleep.
He didn't sleep well last night.
He has a fever."
"Why are you suddenly sick?"
Yao Shu lowered her voice and put one hand on the forehead of the sleeping child.
It was indeed a little hot.
Looking at her red little face, she felt distressed.
"Yunchu said it might be because he suddenly left a familiar person."
"Will you?"
Yao Shu slapped her little face repeatedly.
She is still so young.
Does she really know that her mother has left her?

"I'm sorry, honey."
Yao Shu held her little hand with one hand and said, "What should I do?
Can I feed the medicine?"
Song Qing pointed to the water basin next to her: "I have been using physical resources to cool down.
I wiped it with alcohol several times, and it is much better.
She is too young to drink Chinese medicine, and there is no Western medicine.
I can only try this first."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Yao Shu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little exhausted.
"You're the one who worked hard."
Song Qing patted her hand: "How is the situation?"
"Not too optimistic."
Yao Shu tucked the child into a quilt: "The army in the south is very determined.
They use human wave tactics to attack the city without caring about the losses.
It's a bit difficult for us to cope with it."
"I didn't have time to look for them first, but they came here."
Song Qing held her chin with one hand: "What if they came after a long journey, looking for opportunities to burn their food and grass, and force them to retreat?"
"It's not easy.
How do you sneak in?
They must send people to keep an eye on the entrance and exit of the city gate."
It's not that Yao Shu has never thought about it, but it's just unlikely.
"That's right."
Song Qing sighed: "Then we can only bear it hard.
I hope Beirong can move faster and return to the city as soon as possible to support."
After a quarter of an hour, Mu An woke up.
Yao Shu hurriedly picked her up and said, "Baby, mother is back."
Mu An blinked his big eyes and neither cried nor fussed.
Song Qing laughed and said, "You little girl, maybe you really knew that I was whining and fussing before, and you became a good boy as soon as I hugged you."
Yao Shu smiled happily: "I heard that children know smells, maybe."
She put the child down and wiped her body with alcohol herself: "Mom, I'm afraid I have to go tomorrow."
"Go with peace of mind.
I will pay more attention."
Song Qing sighed: "Be sure to pay attention to safety.
Just make decisions and discussions at the rear.
Don't go to the tower, you know?"
There is no eye on the battlefield.
If Yao Shu makes any mistake, Beirong will not go crazy.
Is it done?
"I know."
Yao Shu carried Mu An back to her bedroom.
Now every moment with her daughter seemed so precious.
Yao Shu was reluctant to let go, and Mu Xiao managed Mu City in an orderly manner.
He also developed Mu City into a very prosperous country before, but he never fought a war.
He took over Mu City from his father, and it was always peaceful until he was taken prisoner ten years ago.
Walk.

So he was not good at it.
Yao Shu had to go back to the front.
At least she had some combat experience, although it was not combat experience.
"Baby, please get well soon.
Mom has something else to do and can't stay with you all the time."
Yao Shu murmured and rocked the child.
She felt distressed and guilty.
It was foreseeable that she would have to spend a long time in the war in the future.
There is no doubt that the children will be left out in the cold, and there will be many others when they are separated.
After spending a peaceful night in the palace, Yao Shu reluctantly returned to the city gate after confirming that the child's fever had subsided the next day.
The war was still going on.
Lian Yao used wheel warfare, and hundreds of thousands of people attacked the city one after another, leaving them no time to rest.
"Madam, what should we do?"
A soldier ran over: "There are not enough stones on the tower, and the speed of transporting them up is not that fast."
"We must resist it."
Yao Shu pursed her lips: "No matter what happens, we can't let them come up with another batch of explosives."
Lian Yao stood behind, looking at the increasing speed of the advance, and the corner of his mouth curled up.
It seemed that the attack would be a matter of time.
Even if Makbei Rong turned around now, it would be too late.
After Yao Yun died, he missed Yao Shu even more.
Anyway, now he has Yao Shu, anyway, now he no longer has a wife.
He doesn’t mind if Ah Shu gets married.
If he can still be with her for the rest of his life, everything will be enough.
"General, our losses are too great."
One general couldn't help but said: "We have lost nearly 100,000 people in the past few days.
This is not an option.
Even if we attack, there will still be more than 200,000 people in the fortress.
After the battle, After that, we won’t have many people left.”
"So if we withdraw now, wouldn't all these people die in vain?"
Lian Yao glanced at him: "Now is a good time.
When Mu Beirong returns in triumph and points the finger at us, it will be too late."
"Yes, I understand."
The general withdrew with a look of unwillingness.
He followed Lian Yao for the longest time, but he still didn't understand what he was thinking, especially the order not to hurt Mrs.
Mucheng.
They all know about Princess Wen Yi's previous affair with Lian Yao, but now they are all the wives of Mu Cheng.
Is it possible that their generals have any other ideas?
"Ma'am, they are attacking quickly," a soldier panted.
"Use explosives again."
Yao Shu climbed up the city tower in a few steps.
Looking at the increasingly unfavorable situation, he picked up his sword and stabbed a southern soldier who climbed up with his sword.
He said loudly: "Everyone can hold it for up to two days, and the city lord will Returned with troops" "Yes" the soldiers immediately agreed and fought harder.
Yao Shu sighed, it wasn't that she wanted to favor them, it was because she had no choice.
She didn't expect Lian Yao to be so vicious.
It seemed that carrying her to death was not the solution.

She had to think of Song Qing's approach and find a way to burn their food and grass.
But what to do?
It’s hard to avoid their ear strings and get out of here without anyone noticing.
From morning to night, I don't know how many waves of attacks were repelled.
Finally, the sun went down and the army in the south retreated again.
But when the sun rises tomorrow, they will continue to make a comeback, as if there is no end.
In the end, Yao Shu took the lead and participated in the battle.
She was so tired that she almost fell apart.
She took a bath, ate a quick meal and planned to go to sleep.
She was sleeping very well now.
She had been sleeping on the pillow for an unknown amount of time.
Suddenly she was woken up by Qingqing: "Madam, Madam, please wake up."
"Well, what's wrong?"
Yao Shu sat up and said, "The southern border is attacking the city again."
"It's not Vice-General Yao who is calling you," Qingqing said as she put on her clothes.
Yao Che was looking for him, something must have happened.
Yao Shu hurriedly put on her shoes and left the room: "Che'er, what's the matter?"
Yao Che turned around: "Sister, come and see" "What's wrong?"
Yao Shu was dragged up to the tower by Yao Che in confusion, "What on earth is going on?"
Yao Shu suddenly paused and looked towards the north.
There, there was a red light.
Yao Shu was stunned: "That is the location of the food and fodder for the southern army."
"Yes," Yao Che said excitedly, "It seems like there's a big fire burning."
Why did Yao Shu look at the red half of the sky in disbelief: "I haven't sent anyone there yet, how could it be on fire?"
"I don't know."
Yao Che also wondered: "If it wasn't an accident, then could someone help me?"
"Who could it be?"
No matter what, she couldn't possibly think that they accidentally burned the food and grass.
"Could it be the city lord?"
Yao Che shook his head after he finished speaking.
He thought that Mubeirong, who was far away in northern Xinjiang, would not come back so quickly.
"Wow, it's really on fire.
That's great.
The southern border will definitely retreat this time."
The tired soldiers also came out to see, excited one after another.
After several days of endless fighting, we were exhausted.
We were almost captured many times.
Finally, the situation finally turned for the better.
"Don't be careless," Yao Shu said loudly, "I still don't know what's going on.
Maybe it's a trick they are playing.
Everyone should be careful and take a rest.
Don't relax when the enemy takes advantage of it."
"Yes, ma'am."
The captains of each team rushed everyone back to bed.
Yao Shu was no longer sleepy.

Could it be that God heard her prayer?
Who did it and how did it happen?
She was a little excited.
If the food and grass in the southern border were really burned, then the crisis in Mucheng would be solved this time, and Mubeirong could concentrate on dealing with Huangfu Ji:
