In the middle of the night, the cold wind howled, and the war in the city gradually fell into calm. After a whole day of street fighting, both sides exhausted their strength. Half of the city was occupied by the Chu army, but the heavy casualties also made the Chu army unable to bear it. . The sudden blizzard reduced the visibility of the entire city to extremely low. It was no longer possible to clearly see each other's figures within a few steps of each other. The temperature also suddenly dropped a lot, and it felt like dripping water turned into ice. In such weather, , both sides are unable to fight.
Mei Hua was leaning against a wall. One of his arms was gone. During the battle, his left arm was chopped off by a Chu army general. The sudden drop in temperature froze his wound. This prevented him from dying from excessive blood loss. At this moment, a soldier was bandaging him hurriedly. Beside him, Long Bin, who was also unable to move, lay. Long Bin was stabbed several times and was seriously injured. At this moment, looking at Mei Hua's shoulder without his left arm, he couldn't stop crying.

"Why are you crying?" Mei Hua, who was leaning against the wall, seemed to be in good spirits. Seeing Long Bin crying, she couldn't help but laugh: "You are more injured than me."
"Sir, we can't hold on any longer." Long Bin sobbed.
"Yeah, we can't hold it anymore." Mei Hua's expression dimmed, but only for a moment. "But I'm not upset. The battle is still going on, right? As long as there is still one person from the third division. , the battle in this city will continue. We can't defend Yingshui, but if we kill one more enemy here, the harm they will cause will be less after they break through Yingshui's defense line, right?"
Long Bin nodded vigorously.
"Long Bin, do you remember Ji Xiang?" Mei Hua leaned against the wall and asked Long Bin, "That's because I was the company commander and you two were the platoon commanders. In that battle, we also fought extremely miserably, Ji Xiang, It’s the one that disappeared in that battle. Otherwise, he would definitely be the leader now, and he and I would be able to join forces with each other.”
"Jixiang is smarter than me. If he can survive until now, he will definitely be better than me." Long Bin said.
"Now we are going to see that kid. I don't know if that kid will complain about why it took us so long to meet him. He must be very lonely and unbearable down there. Now, we can Let’s get together lively again.”
"No, no. Master, you will live a long life. Jixiang will definitely not want to see you. He will never want to." Long Bin burst into tears. "Sir, don't say that. It's too unlucky."
"Hehe, life and death are determined by fate. Are we soldiers still afraid of death? In fact, many years ago, I thought I would die many times. In this life, I have lived a wonderful life. Long Bin, you Do you know what I’m most proud of?”
"It must be the time you followed the king to fight the Donghu people on the glacier, right?"
"wrong.
It was I who rode into the rich man's home and slashed him with a knife. That bastard dared to insult my comrade, my brother's wife, while I was on vacation. A man rode in alone and scattered his guards with a knife, hacking him to death. Later, he received dozens of military sticks for this. "Mei Hua laughed. "That was my most majestic time. "
"I know. Later you adopted that comrade's son as your adopted son."
"That boy is now sixteen years old. Just like his father, he is also a aggressive, ruthless and sinister master. I sent him to the military school. He will inherit his father's legacy and will fight for his father in the future. Take a good breath."
"Teacher, please stop talking and take a rest!" Long Bin said with a crying voice.
"Have a rest. Soon, I will be able to rest forever. I won't be able to wake up this time." Mei Hua glanced at Long Bin and said, "You kid can't do anything anymore. Staying here is a burden. Go to the general's office and rest."
"I'm not going, Commander, you should go to the General's Office, and I'll be the one to bear the burden!" Long Bin yelled, putting his hands on the ground, trying to stand up, but struggling for a long time, but in vain.
"Look at what you are like now, and I told you to bear it. Now, can you still use the knife?" Mei Hua sneered, straightened up and stood up, strode to the window, and glanced into the distance. "As soon as this snowstorm stops, the opponent will launch another attack. Such a heavy snowstorm will not last long. We want to delay, and the enemy wants to buy time! I don't know how Jingzhou is doing. It should be over by now It’s almost over, but it’s a pity that I can’t see the final victory.”
He turned around and snapped his fingers: "You two, drag this burden to me to the general's office."
"Yes!" Two soldiers stepped forward, lifted Long Bin from the ground, and carried him away.
"I won't leave, I won't leave, sir. Even if I die, I will die with you."
Listening to Long Bin's roar, Mei Hua smiled sadly: "Fool, it's good to live a little longer."
He reached into his bosom, pulled out a brocade bag, carefully took out a piece of paper from it, and gently opened it. It was a portrait. On it, a pretty woman sat on a brocade stool, holding a little baby with her hands spread out in her arms. That was his wife and son. Mei Hua put the painting to his lips with moist eyes, kissed it gently, folded it carefully, and put it back on his chest. "Son, although you have lost your father, you have a good mother and a good uncle. Well, your grandfather, uncle and second uncle are also great people. You will live a happy life. Daddy is sorry for you!"
Wipe the tears from his face, Mei Hua gently sang the military song that has accompanied him for more than ten years.
The long sword pointed directly to the northern territory;
The setting sun was like blood, flowing on the journey to the south;
The flags fluttered, calling for the war drums to advance eastward;
The endless yellow sand could not stop the pace of the westward expedition.
As Mei Hua sang, a gentle response came from behind. The singing drifted out of the house they were guarding, blown by the strong wind and carried by the blizzard, slowly drifting in the city. The singing became louder and louder, and finally merged into a torrent, overwhelming the whistling ice and snow, and echoing over the city that had almost become a wasteland.
Huang Zhong stood on a surviving two-story building that had not been bombed, listening to the deafening sound coming from the area of the Han army in the distance, his face was extremely ugly.
Farther away, on the tower, Bai Xizhong stood with a sword in his hand. He personally commanded and even fought in the battles of crossing the river, attacking the beach, and breaking the dike. As a result, he was seriously injured at this moment. He thought victory was in sight, but now he was dragged to Yingshui. The street fighting of the Han army caused them heavy losses. At this moment, relying on the military strength ten times that of the enemy, the Han army finally couldn't hold on. The Chu army defeated the resistance of the Han army, but did not defeat their fighting spirit. Listening to the song, Bai Xizhong murmured: "Can we really win this war?"
In Yingchuan County, Qu Wan stood on the tower, listening to the faint singing from the opposite bank, his hands tightly clawed on the city wall, his face as white as the falling snow.
"General, what should we do now?" Beside him, the voice of the deputy general came as if from the Netherworld. Just now, the scout sent an extremely urgent intelligence. The three cavalry divisions of the Han army have approached Tai'an, and the nearest 3rd division of the First Army of the Han Youth Guards, which set out from Wuguan, is less than 50 miles away from Yingchuan County. The Qin army behind them has been cut off by the cavalry divisions of the Han country and has now retreated to Wulong County, and Yang Dasha's main force has also arrived.
The full-scale attack of the Han cavalry and the Wuguan defense forces can only mean one thing, the situation in the Jingzhou war zone has been determined, and the Chu State has been defeated.
In the battle of Yingshui, he has lost 50,000 troops, and the blood of 50,000 soldiers has dyed the Yingshui River red. If he continues to fight, what will happen even if he occupies the Yingshui River? What will happen even if he completely wipes out the stubborn army on the opposite side? The 100,000 Chu army will eventually be completely destroyed on this land, just like the Qi army in previous years.
He reached out and took off the helmet on his head, and smashed it hard under the tower.
"General!"
Qu Wan did not answer him, but turned around and strode down the tower.
The wind and snow gradually stopped, and the sky became brighter. Mei Hua opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the dawn in the sky. He said happily: "I can't believe that I can still see the sun today?"
"Commander, where is the sun?" A personal soldier got up from the ground and asked curiously, looking at the gloomy sky.
"There is the sun in my heart!" Mei Hua laughed and pointed his finger at his chest, "If there is one here, you can see it, and the dark clouds can't block your eyes."
Looking at the soldiers' confused appearance, Mei Hua laughed, "It's really strange. They looked desperate yesterday, but why are they so honest today? They won't be frozen to death, right?"
The half of the city occupied by the Chu army is now quieter than their side. Mei Hua looked at the opposite side strangely. Their military flags are still there. Standing here, he can also clearly see their soldiers. However, the imagined attack did not come.
What does the Chu army want to do? Mei Hua reached out and touched his left shoulder, and a trace of pain appeared on his face.
"Master, someone is coming!" A personal soldier suddenly shouted.
Mei Hua also saw that a man with disheveled hair, dressed in white, and unarmed was walking towards them.
The man stopped and looked up. Mei Hua almost cried out. The man was Qu Wan, the general of Chu State and the commander of this Chu army.
"I am Qu Wan. Is Master Mei still alive? If he is, I want to see you. If he is dead, please let your highest-ranking person come out to speak." Qu Wan shouted.
Mei Hua looked at Qu Wan, and his eyes gradually brightened.
"It's not that easy to kill me!" He pushed open the door and strode towards Qu Wan.
Qu Wan turned his head and looked at the Han general who had lost his left arm, with an extremely complicated look in his eyes. (To be continued.)
