I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

At sunset.

In Luoyun City, Li Liang wiped the blood off his face in a daze and threw the broken gun in his hand to the ground.

We held on, and held on again.

"General, we have less than two thousand soldiers, and fewer than five hundred people stationed on the four city walls..."

Li Liang nodded sadly: "Okay, I understand. I'll go find the governor now."

Not long after, at the county government office, Li Liang, covered in blood, came straight to Tian Wen.

The moment he saw Li Liang, Tian Wen was immediately shocked. It seemed that Li Liang had already led the weapons into battle himself. The situation must have become extremely serious.

"General Li, what's the situation?"

"Tian Wen, I'm afraid Luoyun City can't be defended." Li Liang's tone was quite calm, without any emotional fluctuations.

Tian Wen hesitated for a moment, then pulled Li Liang aside and asked, "General Li, how long can you hold on?"

"I'm not sure. There are less than two thousand people on the four city walls now. The next attack by the rebels is likely to break the city." Li Liang continued.

"So what does the general mean?" Tian Wen frowned.

It is definitely impossible to hold the place, but with less than two thousand men, it will be difficult to break out.

"Governor, let's break out. I will lead the remaining troops to fight a bloody way out for you." Li Liang's voice was still calm, as if he had not considered whether he could break out at all.

Tian Wen looked at Li Liang in confusion. This guy said he would cover his retreat?

That doesn't make sense. Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately. What's more, Tian Wen didn't think he had a very close relationship with Li Liang. He didn't expect the other party to say such words.

"General Li, what are you doing..."

"Governor, I have no way to survive." As Li Liang said this, he lifted up his clothes to reveal his chest. An arrow with a broken wooden shaft was deeply inserted into it, and some black blood flowed out from time to time.

"The arrowhead is stained with poison. Even if I join the fight, I'm afraid I won't get far. It's better to escort Master Tian out."

Tian Wen nodded indignantly: "Okay, when do we set off?"

"Now, please get ready immediately. I will open the west gate in a quarter of an hour." After Li Liang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Tian Wen didn't even hesitate, turned around and started notifying people to get busy.

A moment later, Li Liang stood at the city gate with a pale face and a spear in his hand. Behind him were Tian Wen and the remaining soldiers of Luoyun City.

"Brothers, we can no longer hold on. Luoyun City is about to fall into the hands of the rebels. Our families and children are inside the city. We have nowhere to retreat!"

"Now, the only way for us to survive is to send Lord Tian out and ask him to find reinforcements!"

"Open the city gate and follow me to fight your way out!"

Li Liang roared angrily, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed out from behind him and quickly opened the city gate. The two groups of people inside and outside the city instantly became furious.

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. Without a word of conversation, everyone rushed forward in an instant.

"Charge!" Li Liang roared again, taking the lead with a spear in hand.

Although the total number of people in Luoyun City was less than that of Ding Yin's troops, Li Liang gathered all the defenders together, which caused the soldiers of Ding Yin's troops to be dispersed for a while.

And Tian Wen had already been sent out by someone who had chosen the right opportunity.

"General! The Lord has already rushed out, you should go too!"

"That's right, we're here to cover your retreat!"

Li Liang looked at his confidants with a complicated expression. It was a pity that they had no chance of survival.

"Wang Qiang, the rest of you follow me and fight your way out. I'll cover your retreat. Remember, this is an order!"

As he spoke, Li Liang attacked with his spear, knocking several people away with one blow.

But this time, Li Liang and his men only managed to break through halfway before they were beaten back by Ding Yin's troops who arrived.

"Li Liang! The city gate has been broken. I wonder what you can use to fight me!" Ding Yin roared. This damn guy knew that it was impossible to defend the city, but he was still stubborn and fought to the death with him.

What the hell is this for!

When he came here, he brought 20,000 people with him, but now, he has only killed 3,000 of the enemy, and his own casualties are close to 10,000.

Fortunately, Luoyun City did not have many soldiers and horses. If there were more than 10,000 defenders in Luoyun City, Ding Yin would have turned around and left without a second thought.

"Hahaha! So what? If there is no city gate, we are the city gate!" Li Liang gripped his spear tightly and stood at the foot of the city gate with his head held high.

"What a joke!" Ding Yin sneered. After the fierce battle just now, Li Liang's army of less than two thousand suffered further losses, and now there are only fifteen hundred people left at most.

He still has more than ten thousand soldiers at his disposal. If he fails to defeat Li Liang, Ding Yin can even commit suicide.

Ding Yin immediately raised the sharp blade in his hand and roared angrily: "Push forward! The first one to enter the city will be granted a thousand households and a reward of a thousand gold coins!"

"Anyone who captures the enemy general's head will be promoted three levels. I will commend him to His Highness!"

"kill!"

There was a thunderous roar of killing, and the dense crowd rushed towards the city gate like locusts.

The war has entered its final moments. In this situation, neither side can hold back. Even if they surrender, they will not be able to survive.

Li Liang was very clear about this, and so were the many soldiers behind him. They were going to die anyway, so killing one would not be a loss, and killing two would be a profit. They had only one life to lose, so they had to pick up their swords and kill!

The battle lasted for half an hour, and the anger on Ding Yin's face disappeared because the Luoyun City defenders refused to retreat even at the cost of their lives.

He couldn't help but think, if the Zhao Dynasty's army was like this back then, would Da Duan still be able to break into the imperial capital?

Although Ding Yin was moved by their bravery and fearlessness, the war was coming to an end.

At the city gate, only Li Liang and three lieutenant generals were still standing at the gate. Their armors were stained red with blood, and their eyes revealed only the determination to die.

Outside the city, Ding Yin sat on a tall horse, looking at Li Liang quietly.

"General Li, you are no longer able to resist. Why don't you surrender?"

Li Liang held his spear in place, his body shaking for a while, and finally shook his head with difficulty, using all his strength to lift the spear that he usually treated as nothing.

"Hehehe!"

"Ding Yin, you want me to surrender? Dream on!"

"Two generations of my Li family have been loyal to the great cause. How can we not think of serving our country when we receive the emperor's salary?"

"If the city is broken, it is as good as death. Jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed!"

"kill!"

Ding Yin sighed, waved his hand calmly, and hundreds of riders behind him rushed forward instantly.

From the outside of the city gate, all the way to the city, everywhere they passed was only blood, and no one was seen anymore...

"We win! We win!"

"Hahaha! Into the city! Into the city!"

Listening to the cheers around him, Ding Yin forced a smile and raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to be quiet.

"Enter the city. Everyone, remember to strictly follow orders once you enter. Anyone who dares to disturb the city residents will be executed without mercy!"

After saying that, Ding Yin took the lead and walked in front. On the road full of corpses, Ding Yin kept his eyes on the ground, trying to find Li Liang's body.

Such a guy, even if he is an enemy, is worthy of respect, and his corpse should not be allowed to be trampled by others.

However, Ding Yin didn't see anything until he entered the inner city. He held the reins, stopped his horse, and let the troops behind him enter the city first.

It was not until all the soldiers entered the city that Ding Yin saw a long spear stuck in the ground, which was already slightly bent.

The red silk on the tip of the gun is fluttering in the wind...
