Chapter 361
Zhao Shou took a short rest. There was really not much time to rest this night.

The second day will not be easier than the first day, it will only be more difficult. In the morning, it is still the same. I ate something simple, drank porridge and ate a few steamed buns, and ate some wild vegetables to fill my stomach.

Before the Beiyuan people came, some soldiers rested on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers continued to stand guard. When the Beiyuan people attacked, they still had time to defend.After all, at this time, if you can rest for a while, you should rest for a while, otherwise, how can you survive tonight?
Sure enough, the Northern Plains people would not let Zhao Shou's side be too easy, they came here early in the morning to prepare for the war.

It is more appropriate to say that a war is about to start, rather it is better to say that the Northern Plains people are trying to consume the energy and physical strength of the soldiers on Zhao Shou's side.Looking at this posture, there was heavy thunder and little rain, so Zhao Shou guessed that the people from Beiyuan should be planning to procrastinate during the day and attack at night.

Zhao Shou knew what the other side meant, but he didn't have a good solution. After all, defense was still needed.

After standing like this for a day, the Beiyuan people didn't suffer much damage, but this way, the defenders of Tianyuan City couldn't bear it.At night, that is the real fierce battle, and now Zhao Shou can only defend for a while longer.

As night fell, the defenders of Tianyuan City didn't dare to rest, or Zhao Shou only dared to let a small part of them, those who had persisted for a long time, take a rest.Tonight is definitely the time for the Beiyuan people to attack aggressively, and this artillery must not be spared, even if it is a blind attack, it must be fired.

They also fired last night, but the frequency of firing was not high, and the number of firings was definitely not as good as during the day.But tonight, I don't think we can control so much. After all, we will open fire wantonly to drive these Beiyuan people away.

When the time came to night, the people of Beiyuan really attacked in a big way. The captives and elite soldiers all rushed over with great momentum.Compared with those feint attacks during the day, this is the real attack, and its power is many times greater.

Zhao Shou only rested for a moment when he heard someone shouting, "The Beiyuan people are coming to attack the city."

Zhao Shou woke up immediately and shouted loudly: "Be careful! Prepare to fight!"

Zhao Shou's voice woke up the drowsy soldiers, and those soldiers who had already fallen asleep all reacted instantly, and then picked up their weapons, ready to fight.

It was okay at the beginning, the artillery roared and the muskets fired in salvo, which indeed hindered the pace of the Beiyuan people's attack on the city.However, even if the reserves are sufficient, it is impossible to put them all on the city wall, which consumes too much.

Until the middle of the night, not to mention that the ammunition and food were exhausted, but the ammunition was indeed a bit behind, and the speed of delivery could not keep up with the consumption speed.

Moreover, the elite of the Beiyuan people were about to attack the city, so Zhao Shou and the defenders would naturally continue to stand firm.

This night, not only the defenders did not sleep well, but the ordinary people in the city did not sleep well either. The sound of fighting on the city wall did not stop throughout the whole night.It was much more intense than the first night, and the people were also worried that the defenders would not be able to hold it, and then Tianyuan City was taken by Beiyuan people.Most people know the brutality of the people of Beiyuan. If it falls into the hands of the people of Beiyuan, life would definitely be worse than death. How can this make the people not worry?

However, there is still some good news. Before dawn, the Northern Plains people retreated.Zhao Shou defended the city with great difficulty, but this was not something to brag about, and the defenders suffered heavy losses if they defended it for one night.

Zhao Shou knew that the night was over, but what about during the day?what to do tonightNot to mention tonight, Zhao Shou felt that it would be very difficult to survive during the day.

"Vice General Bai, is there any news about reinforcements?"

"General, people in our city can't go out at all, but it seems that the defenders of other cities may be involved. As for the capital, maybe we have to wait."

Zhao Shou also sighed, "I'm afraid it's not easy to defend this city. Even if we fight to the last, we have to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. If I go first, Tianyuan City will depend on you." .”

"General?"

Zhao Shou also knew that at this time, he had to stand on the front line and stick to it with the soldiers. If he couldn't hold on, what reason would there be for the soldiers to hold on?

After a while, a soldier came to report the news, "Report to the general, there are many young and strong people in the city who say they want to come to help, you see?"

Zhao Shou didn't think it was good news, "Vice General Bai, you stay here, I'll go and have a look."

Zhao Shou also saw these people who came here spontaneously, saying that they were young and strong people, but there were also some elderly people, after all, in ancient times, people in their 40s were indeed considered old people.

"Everyone, what are you doing? It's not safe here, so go back quickly."

One of them, who was considered a real strong man, stood up and said, "We know that the current situation is not good, so we just came back, so let us help, otherwise, if Tianyuan City is destroyed today, we will also suffer."

"Yes, we can live a good life only if Tianyuan City is still there. Once the city is broken and we fall into the hands of Beiyuan people, I am afraid we will not be able to live on."

"Yes, if you need our place, just ask."

Zhao Shou looked at the thirty or so people. It seemed that there were more than these people. There were also people rushing over one after another, and even some wealthy businessmen came with their servants.

"General Zhao, if you need us to do anything, just tell us."

"Well, the soldiers are very tired after a night of fierce fighting, but people have to keep an eye on the movements of the people from the North Plains. Some people who need scouting will immediately beat gongs and drums to remind us when they see the people from the North Plains with binoculars. , and then you can leave."

"There are still some people. You should find a way to collect some stones of this size. They are too big and not suitable, and they are too small and have no power. There are also some logs and so on, such as rolling logs."

Zhao Shou briefly distributed the tasks, and then sent the young and strong people to find things.As for the older ones, they were arranged to go up to the city wall and taught them how to use telescopes so that they could keep an eye on the movements of the Beiyuan people outside the city.

After the arrangements were made, Zhao Shou asked his lieutenant Bai to rest first, and Zhao Shou watched the people for a while.

However, it didn't take long for Zhao Shou to fall asleep. Except for these common people and some scattered soldiers standing guard, most of them went to take a rest.

But not long after the break, the people from Beiyuan called again.These people did indeed beat the gongs very loudly, which woke up all the soldiers.

It was another fierce battle, Zhao Shou didn't know if he could hold it, but behind him was the people of Tianyuan City, and behind them was the land of the Dawei Dynasty, who would not give an inch.

"Soldiers, reinforcements are coming soon, follow me to defend the city."
