Chapter 554

This matter was not only known to Cao Xiong, but any garrison soldier, or even the common people, could understand this matter.

Because the current war situation for Cao Xiong's side was too tragic, and could even be said to be a one-sided situation.

Failure for Cao Xiong was only a matter of time.

Cao Xiong looked at the soldiers around him, who were all looking gloomy, and felt very helpless in his heart.

After a moment, Cao Xiong patted the shoulder of his deputy general beside him somewhat desolately and said:

"Gather all the remaining soldiers in the city..."

"An hour later, I want to say a few words to everyone."

Hearing Cao Xiong's words, the deputy general agreed, and then went to notify the remaining garrison generals in the city.

An hour later, Cao Xiong stood on the city wall, looking at the city wall broken by long-term fighting and the earth dyed red with blood outside the city.

He also looked at the continuous camps of the Great Yuan and the Oirats in the distance, like a dark cloud.

Finally, Cao Xiong looked at the soldiers gathered in the city, either standing or leaning against the city wall.

Cao Xiong's heart became mixed with various feelings.

"Soldiers!"

"I know that the battle we are going to fight in the future will be extremely difficult!"

"Perhaps, we will all die here and sleep on this land!"

"But, we cannot be afraid!"

"Because behind us are our families, our women and children who have no power to truss a chicken!"

"As long as the enemy crosses here, they will be on flat ground and will never have to step into any dangerous terrain again!"

"As long as they cross here, our territory will completely become a battlefield!"

"Our relatives will be slaughtered, and our children will become slaves!"

At this time, the corners of the eyes of a very rough man like Cao Xiong gradually turned red, and tears were already swirling in his eyes.

If possible, he absolutely didn't want to take his brothers who had been through life and death with him to stay in this city and wait for death.

But he absolutely could not do this, because behind Cao Xiong was his home; taking a step back would cause countless innocent people to die in the war.

A soldier's final destination is the battlefield; Cao Xiong understood these principles.

Cao Xiong had no fear of dying on the battlefield; he was only afraid that everything he did would be in vain!

The many soldiers gathered in the city looked at the general who had already turned red-eyed and the words Cao Xiong had just said; in fact, they had already understood in their hearts that staying in this city and continuing to resist would not have a second result.

The only path left for them was to disappear from this world together with this city.

However, knowing that there was only death ahead, these soldiers, who had either broken their arms in the war before, or had become lame, or had scarlet blood flowing from the white cloth wrapped around their bodies, did not have a single person with fear in their eyes.

On the contrary, their eyes were full of fighting spirit, full of fanaticism.

Because, behind them, was their home!

And their home was absolutely not allowed to be trampled by the enemy!
