The principle of striking first is probably not only known to Han Chinese.

The Tartars didn't know where they got the news, that the new general was not like the straw bales he used to be, and that he was still secretly training soldiers.

Anyone with a little military awareness should know what this means, the Tartars are not stupid, they naturally know what the idea of this new defender of Liuzhou is.

And they would never give Chu Yuntian a chance to recuperate.

The siege came suddenly, but fortunately, on the first day of Chu Yuntian's return to Liuzhou, the guards of the city wall were arranged as a top priority.

When the defenders of the city came to the tent, he did not appear to be alarmed.

"Pass the order, all the soldiers prepare for battle!"

The military orders were like a mountain, and the soldiers who had been sleeping in the barracks were immediately assembled on the martial arts training ground during the day.

Chu Yuntian was dressed in armor, with a big knife straddling his waist, his eyes were tough and calm, standing on the high platform, and said in a loud voice:

"Soldiers, Liuzhou has been the land of our Han people since ancient times, and the city of Liuzhou should also be ruled by our Han people. I know that before I came here, the city of Liuzhou had been occupied by the Tartars, who flaunted their might in our home and bullied our parents, wives and daughters. The Tartars in the city have been expelled, but they are not dead set on making a comeback, can we let those Tartars succeed! ”

"Can't!" Everyone shouted in unison, and their voices resounded through the sky.

Chu Yuntian glanced at the excited-looking soldiers below, his left hand held the hilt of the knife straddling his waist, he pulled out the saber from his waist, and the tip of the knife roared towards the sky: "For the sake of the people in the city, we will never take a step back tonight!" ”

Fang Su was awakened in his dream, and the earth-shattering shouting of killing came from the side of the martial arts arena, he immediately turned over and got out of bed and wanted to rush out to have a look, but as soon as he opened the curtain of the camp tent, the little soldier who was supposed to be in Chu Yuntian's camp tent was actually standing outside his camp tent.

Seeing that Fang Su wanted to go to the martial arts arena, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"What's going on?" Fang Su's tone was a little hurried.

The little soldier glanced at Fang Su from the corner of his eye, quickly lowered his head, and said softly: "The little one doesn't know what happened, but General Chu has ordered that Lord Fang must stay in the camp tonight and not go anywhere." ”

It's okay not to say this, as soon as Fang Su said it, he knew that something must have happened to Chu Yuntian's side.

"Get out of the way." His expression changed.

But the little soldier did not move, standing in front of him.

Seeing this, Fang Su stretched out his hand to push him.

The person standing in front of him turned sideways slightly, which made Fang Su take advantage of the loophole, and he hurriedly dodged and slipped past the little soldier.

But before he had taken two steps, the man behind him followed and stopped him again.

"Lord Fang, you better go back, this is what the general meant."

Fang Su originally had a jar of vinegar in his heart towards Xiao Bing, and when he saw him mention Chu Yuntian, a nameless fire erupted.

"Get out of the way!" He yelled at the man in front of him with some roughness.

But this time, the little soldier stood in front of him as steadily as a rock, and no matter how much Fang Su pushed and shrugged, he didn't let go of the way.

The noisy movement outside quickly disappeared, and Fang Su looked up in the direction of the martial arts arena, but could only see a hazy moonlight.

Chu Yuntian turned over his horse, looked back at Fang Su's tent, and then grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out of the barracks.

The shouts of the Tartars outside the city had reached the ears of the people of the city through the mottled walls, and a brave man came out of the house with a weapon in his hand.

Chu Yuntian led the soldiers in the battalion to run wildly through the dark streets.

The sound of horses' hooves and the clashing of swords seemed to ignite everyone's courage in this unquiet night.

The army hurried towards the city gates.

The men with weapons looked at the huge army in the street, and couldn't help but clench the knife in their hands, which was not sharp.

"It's the Tartars coming in!"

I don't know who shouted the first sound, and then Liuzhou City, which was originally closed with a closed door, seemed to be awakened by this sound.

The lights in every house were turned on, and people walked from the houses to the streets, some of them holding hoes and some carrying benches, and they voluntarily joined Chu Yuntian's army.

"Folks." The adjutant general who was following the rear of the army stopped with a rein, he looked at the people with excited expressions at the back of the team, and said in a loud voice: "It is the duty of all of us to protect Liuzhou City, but as soldiers, the first line should be started by us, if we fall, you in the rear will definitely be able to take our place, but now is not the time." ”

"I know everyone's determination to expel the Tartars, but at this time, there is already artillery fire outside the city, you still have your own wives and children and parents to take care of, and the families of these soldiers also need you to take care of, and now we are going to the battlefield, I hope you are our strong backing on the front line!"

"Go back, return to your relatives, and trust our soldiers that they will never let the Tartars step into the city."

The men with all sorts of 'weapons' in their hands looked at each other, and one of them said, "My doll was crying just now. ”

Someone immediately chimed in: "My mother-in-law is also trembling with fear." ”

The advancing army did not stop, but the people in the rear laid down their weapons.

"Trust us, believe in General Chu." The deputy general whipped his whip, and his voice resounded in Liuzhou in the night, "We will be invincible and invincible!" ”

In a moment, Chu Yuntian had already led the soldiers to the foot of the city wall.

The ruined gates were being slammed from the outside by the Tartars, overwhelmed, and it seemed that they would be knocked open in the next second.

The deputy general drove his horse to Chu Yuntian's side, and he said in a somewhat hurried tone: "General, you go up to the city tower to supervise the battle, and let me lead people to rush out!" ”

Chu Yuntian's cold face had no expression, he didn't even roll his eyes, and stared straight at the city gate.

"General!" The adjutant shouted again.

Only then did Chu Yuntian turn his head and glance at the deputy general beside him, and he said in a calm tone: "You go up to the city tower now, repel those Tartars who hit the door, and then open the city gate." ”

"General......" The deputy general seemed to want to say something, Chu Yuntian turned his head to look at the city gate again, and said in a cold tone: "This is a military order." ”

The deputy general clenched the horse rope in his hand hard, he looked at the heroic Chu Yuntian in front of him, and finally turned over and dismounted and rushed to the city tower.

The sound of the Tartars striking outside the door faded until it disappeared.

"It's now!" Chu Yuntian shouted: "Open the city gate, rush!" ”

The city gate was slowly opened, and Chu Yuntian rushed straight out with a group of soldiers behind him, and he was the first to rush out of the city.

The Tartar Gate outside the city didn't expect the people inside to rush out directly, Chu Yuntian raised his saber and slashed at a Tartar beside him.

The city gate closed again after following Chu Yuntian's soldiers out.

The sound of fighting sounded behind Chu Yuntian......

Fang Su woke up from the bed violently, he clutched his heart in his chest, and looked up at the door.

The pain in the back of his neck reminded him of last night, and he quickly turned over and ran out of bed, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and went straight out of the tent.

At this time, it was dusk outside the house, and the little soldier was standing like a flagpole with his back to Fang Su's camp.

Hearing the movement behind him, he hurriedly turned his head and looked at Fang Su with a somewhat nervous expression.

"Lord Fang, you, it's okay."

Fang Su had calmed down, he didn't know how long he had been unconscious, the sun had sunk into the western mountains and was almost out of sight, and there was silence in the barracks.

"How long has it been?" His voice was a little hoarse.

The little soldier didn't dare to look at Fang Su's face, lowered his eyes and said, "It's been a day and a night." ”

Fang Su clenched his fists violently, and then slowly let go.

"Chu, what about the general."

"Your Excellency......" the little soldier paused hesitantly.

Fang Su turned his head to stare at the little soldier, and asked again, "What about Chu Yuntian." ”

"Lord Qiyu, the general is ......"

"It's gone."
