Chapter 283 As long as you are willing to accept my recruitment
When Chu Xi learned about the situation in the city, he was not surprised at all.
As ordinary people, what they want most is a stable life. Now the city of Xi'an is engulfed in war and the enemy is pressing forward step by step. No one can guarantee whether the Western Chu Army will attack the city tomorrow.
It is a good choice for them to leave early and avoid risks.
Chu Xi changed the medicine for his wound, went up to the city wall and continued fighting.
Everyone in the city who was still able to fight was fighting. Of all the city gates, the North Gate was the one under the greatest pressure. They had to keep their guard up at all times and dared not relax or close their eyes.
Now the situation has completely reversed, and the South Gate has become the most dangerous.
The Great Zhou army outside the east and west gates did not want to kill each other, so their previous attacks on the east and west gates were not strong, until... the eighth prince who was far away in the capital sent news.
With the Eighth Prince's order in place and what they had done before, it was already tantamount to treason.
They had no way to retreat, so they could only cooperate with Western Chu to capture Xi'an city as soon as possible before the reinforcements arrived.
The city of Xi'an was in imminent danger. Chu Xi had never felt so clearly the fatigue of being under such high pressure that one could not even sleep.
Even if she fell asleep, she would wake up quickly.
She would worry that when she fell asleep, she would open her eyes and wake up to find that everything and people had changed, and Xi'an would be removed from the map of Da Zhou and become a city on the map of Xi Chu.
Everyone was counting, counting the enemies they had killed, how many days they had held out, and when reinforcements would arrive...
But later they found that they couldn't count them anymore.
They didn't know when their memories started to become fuzzy. They couldn't remember how many people they had killed, nor did they remember how many days they had persisted.
How long will it take for Xi'an City to wait for reinforcements!
Chu Xi always thought that his memory was good, but...it turned out to be just like this.
When people are extremely tired, many things become blurred, including their memories.
Chu Er followed Chu Xi like a wall. Whenever Chu Xi showed any sign of being overwhelmed, he would immediately stand in front of Chu Xi and let Chu Xi sit down and rest.
"You should also sit down and take a rest. Don't stand in front of me like a wall." Chu Xi couldn't bear it anymore.
She was already harsh on herself, but Chu Er was even harsher.
He was like a tireless robot, protecting Chu Xi while she rested, but never resting himself.
"Master?" Chu Er was stunned. The sword in his hand was stained with blood, and it was stained again before it dried.
Chu Xi said in a low voice, "Sit down."
If she didn't suppress her voice, her feminine voice would be strangely inconsistent with her male identity.
A man, but with a woman's soft and delicate voice.
This voice is very similar to the third type of man in the palace!
Chu Er didn't dare to disobey Chu Xi's order and immediately sat down to rest.
After nearly two hours of rest yesterday, the soldiers of Western Chu had rested and recuperated, and when they launched the offensive again, their fighting power seemed to have become stronger.
Jiang Zhenyao had suffered a lot of injuries and hadn't rested for several days, so she was really unable to hold on yesterday.
Chu Xi saw that she had clearly reached her limit but was still gritting her teeth and persisting, so he could only send someone to take her away to treat her wounds and keep an eye on her.
After three days of fighting in Xi'an City, Yun Jiyu seemed to have undergone a thorough cleansing.
The originally gentle face like jade seemed to have a bit more silent murderous intent at this moment, and the eyebrows and eyes were stained with a little red.
His hands were clearly shaking and he could barely hold the sword, but he still gritted his teeth and held on.
Chu Xi shot a long sword over and accurately stabbed the back of the Western Chu soldier who was trying to launch a sneak attack behind Yun Jiyu.
The sharp silver sword pierced through the back.
Yun Jiyou heard the sound of the sword piercing through the body and turned around, just in time to see the spirited young man flying towards him, stepping on the enemy's shoulder, grasping the hilt and pulling out the sword.
Chu Xi's series of movements were so fast that they seemed to be completed in the blink of an eye. They were done in one go, quickly and accurately.
"Let's continue, you take a rest."
Before Yun Jiyou could answer, Chu Xi had already rushed past him with a sword in hand, making room for him so that he wouldn't have to face the enemy for the time being.
Han Yaojun and Han Ziyu were not far apart and took care of each other.
Tang Juncheng was also guarding the city wall. His martial arts were the unique skills of the Tang family, and he had also fought with Chu Xi before.
After all, he is an experienced veteran who has fought on the battlefield and fought his way out of the sea of blood.
Even though his swordsmanship was not as good as Chu Xi's, and his martial arts skills were not as proficient as hers, when the two of them fought, he could still rely on his years of experience to barely draw a tie.
"When will the reinforcements arrive?" Some soldiers could not hold on any longer and asked Chu Xi and other generals in a hoarse voice.
Chu Xi couldn't answer this question.
Besides, she didn't have the energy to discuss such things.
She saved her strength, raised her sword, and killed the enemy.
Han Ziyu opened his mouth, but couldn't answer.
"If we don't have reinforcements, do we not have to fight? Without reinforcements, will we hand over the city of Xi'an to others?" Han Yaojun's eyes were as sharp as a sword, sweeping across the soldier who asked the question.
The soldiers were speechless after hearing what Han Yaojun said, and looked ashamed. "General, you are right."
The other soldiers dared not ask more questions after hearing this. Just as Han Yaojun said, they had to fight whether the reinforcements came or not. Asking more questions would only make the morale of the army more unstable.
In this case, it is better to kill the enemy quietly.
It is not an easy task to repel the enemy. Moreover, there are nearly 200,000 soldiers in the three cities, and it is not easy to deal with them with less than 30,000 to 40,000 weak soldiers left in the city.
A voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of the city, and it sounded familiar.
"Chu Jiang, would you mind coming down for a chat? I have something to discuss with you in detail!"
It was Qi Minsong's voice.
He sat on his horse with a smile on his lips, gazing at the city wall in the distance. His voice was transmitted through his internal energy and could be heard by all the soldiers at the South Gate.
"What do you want? I don't think there's anything to talk about with you!" Chu Xi quickly dealt with a Western Chu soldier and wiped his neck cleanly.
The direct rejection made Qi Minsong's confidants change their expressions.
They clenched the reins in their hands and were about to speak to persuade the general to give up recruiting Chu Jiang, but they saw the general had already spoken.
Qi Minsong stared at the city wall, "Prince Chu, I admire you very much. As long as you are willing to accept my recruitment, I can guarantee that after you surrender, I will strive for the greatest benefit for you in front of His Majesty."
This means - I will strive to get you a high rank.
After he finished speaking, he paused and then quickly added, "Of course, if your friends are willing to accept the recruitment, it will be an honor for us at Xichu."
Han Ziyu clenched the sword in his hand, frowned, and stared coldly at Qi Minsong who was "shamelessly talking" under the tower, "Oh, you are so arrogant!"
Han Yaojun did not express any opinion. He just continued to kill people without any trembling in his hands.
