As night fell, Natsumura, and the battle paused.

The so-called pause is because in such an environment, not fighting at night is just a strategy chosen by both sides, and no one knows whether the other side will suddenly launch a strong attack. Guo Yaoshi and the others stood on the snowy slope and watched the scene in the summer village, piles of bonfires were burning, and the defenders who still looked energetic gathered by the side of those camp walls, and at the southeast break of the camp wall, stones, wood and even corpses were piled up to block that area.

Occasionally, there would be a neat shout from within the camp walls.

Such a tragic battle has been going on for six days, and there are heavy casualties on his side, and the casualties on the other side are not low, Guo Yaoshi can hardly understand why these soldiers of the Wu Dynasty can still cry out.

From a combat point of view, the troops defending the city took advantage of the battalion defense, and in some respects had to bear more psychological pressure, because when to attack and how to attack were always decided by their own side. At night, his side can sleep relatively easily, but the other party must be vigilant, these few nights, Guo Yaoshi will occasionally put on a feint posture to consume the other party's energy, but every time he finds that his side is not attacking, the defenders of Xia Village will laugh together and ridicule this side.

Including after every battle, the bursts of unison shouts coming from the camp in Xia Village are also mocking and demonstrating against the side of the resentful army, especially after six days of the battle, the more neat the other party's voice, the greater the pressure on his side. You are going back and forth, and every side is sparing no effort to carry out.

In the sound of beeping and beeping, the fire wire swam in front of him, Ning Yi walked to the fire and stopped for a while, and the stretcher carrying the wounded was passing by. In front of the side, there were about more than 100 people lined up neatly in the open space. Listening to the lecture of a man who was like an iron tower, after speaking, everyone shouted in unison: "Yes-" But after such a shout, most of them showed fatigue, and some of them were injured, so they sat down directly. Gasping for air.

More than 100 people here participated in the battle during the day. At this time, there were also a group of people from far and near, and after the lecture, they returned to their garrison posts. The entire camp was filled with dense and chaotic footsteps. The bonfire burned, and because the weather was cold and the smoke was also large, many people bypassed the smoke pillar. Bring the prepared porridge and rice food to the table.

Most of the more than 1,000 people who were rescued in Mutuogang at the beginning were also mobilized at this time to participate in cooking and taking care of the wounded.

The captives, who had been bullied, felt only weakness and fear when they first arrived in Xia Village. Later, under the gradual activation and infection, he began to join the help. In fact, on the one hand, it is because of the cold situation of Xia Village being besieged, which is chilling; The second is the strength of these soldiers outside who can really fight against the resentful army. It gave them a lot of encouragement. Day by day, this army was tormented. Most of them are still women's teams, and they have been able to boost their morale a lot with their efforts.

Although in the fighting for several days, the defenders of Xia Village also suffered heavy casualties. The combat skills and proficiency are not comparable to the team of the resentful army, and it is not easy to rely on the defensive, elm cannon and other things to kill the resentful army with higher casualties. A large number of people were trained in it, and a large number of people were injured or even died because of it, but even if the body was injured and tired, it was in the hearts of these soldiers to see those scrawny women who were even wounded doing their best to take care of the wounded or prepare meals and help defend. It is also inevitable that there will be warmth and a sense of honor.

For an army to grow, it has to say big things, and the facts that are in front of us must also be seen. In this regard, whether it is victory or the gratitude of the guarded, it has a considerable weight, and since there are many women among these people, the weight will be increased by this.

The presence of women in the army sometimes reduces the will to fight, and sometimes it does not. Ning Yi allowed these people to come into contact with the soldiers, and on the other hand, he also gave a death order, never allowing disrespect and random bullying of these people. In the past, there may have been fish that slipped through the net under such orders, but the situation has been tense these days, and there have been no incidents of soldiers who can't help but rape women, and all of them are still developing in a positive direction.

Ning Yi looked at the people who came down to deliver food, and then looked at the position of the resentful army on the opposite side, and sighed after a while. Immediately, Hongti came from not far away, half of her body was blood-red, and at this time, the blood had begun to congeale on her body, and the condition of Ning Yi's body was also similar, she glanced at Ning Yi and came over to hug him.

"I still want to walk." Ning Yi said.

"Let's go up first." Hongti shook her head, "You're too messy today. ”

"If you don't rush to the front, how can you boost morale."

"You almost got an arrow."

"On the battlefield, some things are also ......"

He wanted to say that it was inevitable, but when the red body next to him was close to him, and when the blood and warmth were transmitted, the meaning of the woman in silence, he suddenly understood. Even though he has been in battle for a long time, he doesn't know how many lives he has taken in the cruel killing field, and he doesn't know how many times he has crossed between life and death, some fears are still in the hearts of the women around him who are called "blood bodhisattvas".

The blood-stained two snuggled forward, Chen Huozi and others followed behind, and after a short time, they passed through a hundred-person array of lectures. Ning Yi paused slightly: "Can you still fight!?" ”

The young general at the head stood in horror and said loudly: "Yes!" ”

More than 100 people in the rear shouted in unison: "Can-"

The sound spread far along the snow valley.

Ning Yi nodded and went up with Hongti.

Juan'er was running in front of the thatched hut above, she was in charge of logistics, wounded soldiers and other things, and she was also very busy in the rear. In terms of what the maid had to do, she still prepared hot water for Ning Yi and the others, and when she saw Ning Yi and Hongti returning with blood, she confirmed that Ning Yi was not injured, so she relaxed a little. Ning Yi stretched out his bloodless hand and patted her head.

"There is a little soldier, named Chen Gui, who saved my life, he died, you write down his name, in order to report later. You...... Take a break, too. ”

Juan'er was already busy with messy sideburns, nodded, and shook her head again: "I'm not tired, uncle, Miss Lu should go and scrub it first." ”

Ning Yi nodded, and waved his hand to let Chen Huozi and the others disperse. Fang Cai and Red entered the room. He was indeed tired and sat in a chair and didn't want to get up, so Hongti went to the side, poured hot and cold water into a bucket and mixed it, and then spread out his long hair, and took off his leather armor and trousers covered with blood. When there is only dirty clothes left, take off your shoes and socks and put them aside.

Even so, half of her face and half of her hair were still stained with blood, but it didn't look poignant, but it only made people feel gentle. She walked up to Ning Yi and untied his armor, which was also covered in blood.

"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and you've broken six paths today......

"There are always times when you have to fight hard."

Ning Yi stood up. Head over to the barrel with hot water. After a while, the red grapes also faded off their clothes, except for her figure being slightly taller than ordinary women and her slender legs, at this time her body was only well-proportioned, and she couldn't see half of the muscles. Although I don't know how many people I killed on the battlefield today, when Ning Yi washed her hair and the blood on her face, she looked even more gentle and supple. Both were tired. Ning Yi spoke in a low voice, while Hong Ti just listened in silence. After scrubbing for a while, she stood there with her arms in her arms, her forehead against his neck, her body trembling slightly.

If you don't consider anything else, with the martial arts cultivation of red grapes, even if you go out naked when it's cold. I'm afraid she won't feel cold, it's just that she used to live as a husband and wife in Lu Liang, and after having the reality of a family, she felt afraid of Ning Yi's danger on the battlefield. Ning Yi could only hold her.

“…… Both sides have played about the same and held out until now. It becomes a game of stud, and it depends on who collapses first...... I can't guess ......."

The battle has been fought so far, and all kinds of problems have appeared, the arrows were almost bottomed out two days ago, the wood was almost burned out, and the materials that were originally thought to be abundant were rapidly consumed in the fierce battle. Even Ning Yi, the feeling of death frequently approaching his eyes is not pleasant, it is not pleasant to see the people around him die on the battlefield, even if it is the feeling of being rescued by others, it is not comfortable. When the little soldier died by his side to block arrows for him, Ning Yi didn't know whether he was happy or angry in his heart, or because he was actually happy and angry in his heart.

After a while, he threw away the water ladle in Hongti's hand, picked up the cotton cloth next to him and wiped the water droplets on her body, Hongti shook his head, and said in a low voice: "You use six Dao ...... today" But Ning Yi just frowned and shook his head, pulled Hongti, and threw her on the bed, Hongti was still a little hesitant, but then he held his ankle: "Separate!" ”

When Ning Yi went up, Hongti gently hugged his body, and then meekly tamed him......

On a platform below the camp in Xiacun, Mao Yishan was eating steamed buns and sitting on a piece of wood, talking to a middle-aged man named Qu Qing. There is a shed roof above, and there is a bonfire burning next to it.

"Brother Qu. I've taken a fancy to a girl......" he said, pretending to be rude, following the example of the old soldiers. But where did he deceive Qu Qing.

"It's all broken shoes." Lying on a simple stretcher bed, the injured Qu Qing tore the steamed buns in his hand, looked at the women who were sending things from far and near, and whispered. Then he said, "Let's talk about it if we can live." ”

Mao Yishan shook his head: "Anyway...... It's not what they think. Brother Qu, she has brought me food for the past two days, and told me that she wants me to survive and kill more enemies. Brother Qu, I look at her...... When I speak, my brain is a little abnormal, you say, after this battle, many of them can't survive......"

He looked at the fire of the camp on the side of the resentful army: "Why did such a group of people suddenly come......" He asked very lightly, in the past few days, he had known several brothers, and those brothers died beside him again.

Qu Qing did not answer him.

******************

Back at the palace, it's time for thousands of lights to shine.

Zhou Zhe walked up to the inner city wall of the palace and looked out, the cold wind was blowing, Du Chengxi followed behind, trying to persuade him to go down, but Zhou Zhe waved his hand.

What he saw on the side of the city wall, including on the way out of the palace this time, was still hovering in his mind at this time, mixed with an impassioned melody, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

He didn't feel cold because of that.

"Du Chengxi." It took a long time before he spoke in the cold wind, "I, with such courtiers, soldiers and civilians, you only need to work hard, why worry about the country's affairs." I used to ...... Couldn't be more wrong......"

"Your Majesty xià......" The emperor introspected, and Du Chengxi couldn't continue.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhe didn't need him to pick it up.

"I used to think that among the courtiers, there was only intrigue. The struggle for power and profit, the people's will, is also mediocre and cannot be cheered up. But when I saw it today, I realized that the destiny of heaven was still with me. These hundreds of years of heavenly grace have been indoctrinated. It's not in vain. It's just that the method of cheering up was used incorrectly before. I need to go out of the palace often, look at the people and the people, and look at the things in the world, I am always in the palace, and I can't do great things after all. ”

In his mind, the figure of the master stroking the kite was still circling, and after a pause, he couldn't help but blurt out: "That teacher girl ......"

Du Chengxi took a step forward: "That teacher, girl, Your Majesty is intentionally ......"

Zhou Zhe waved his hand: "That teacher's girl." In the past, I went out of the palace twice, and I never saw it, but when I saw it today, I knew that the women did not let the eyebrows, but unfortunately, I went late, she has someone in love, and I am not a man who beats mandarin ducks. She can sing and play the piano for the soldiers defending the city today. It would be a blessing if he could become friends with her one day. Her lover. It's the ...... The talented man Ning Liheng. It's not simple, he is a staff member of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, assisting Qin Siyuan, quite effective, he broke the Liangshan bandits earlier, and then presided over disaster relief. This time, the strong wall outside the city is clear, and he is also in charge of it, and now, he is ...... in Xia Village."

"Such talents...... Zhou Zhe sighed, "Even if it's a different day...... The position of the right minister is no longer Qin Siyuan. I won't let him go cold, and if I have the chance, I'll give him a lot of use. ”

"I'm not a cautious person, it's all trivial, Du Chengxi." Zhou Zhe paused, "The most important thing now, when the time comes, I want to negotiate peace." ”

"陛xià means ......"

"I can't let any more of these subjects die. Zong Wang's attack on my Bianliang for a long time must have suffered huge losses, and now, Guo Yaoshi's troops are pinned down in Xia Village, once the battle has a result, Zong Wang will have the heart of peace. I've been asking about the war for a long time, and when the time comes, it's time to come forward. The matter has come to this point, it is difficult to care about the temporary gains and losses, face, let it go, it will be over earlier, and I will do things earlier! This country can't go on like this anymore, I have to learn from the pain and work hard, what I lost here will be taken back sooner or later! ”

He has been the emperor for many years, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven has already been practiced, and at this time, his eyes are fierce, and when he says this, in the cold wind, he also looks at the momentum of the world. Du Cheng was shocked and shocked, and even knelt down......

A cold wind blew across the sky.

In the little firelight of Xia Village, the figures come and go, the big tent of the resentful army is brightly lit, in the siege camp outside Bianliang City, the war horses and heralds who transmit information are still coming and going, and the soldiers patrolling the city are full of holes, or bypass the bodies of the soldiers sleeping behind the female wall, and the sound of beating occasionally sounds. Shuoqi spreads the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron coat.

On a night like this, no one knows how many people's and important thoughts are churning and intertwining.

The next day was the ninth day of the twelfth month, on the wall of Bianliang, the fighting continued, and in Xia Village, from this morning, a strange silence appeared. After several days of fighting, the resentful army besieged for the first time without attacking.

"What's going on?" In the morning, Ning Yi walked up to the watchtower and looked into the military formation of the resentful army with a telescope, "This guy is Pharmacist Guo...... Frightened by my minefield? ”

"If that's the case, it's not necessarily all good." Qin Shaoqian said beside him, but no matter what, there was also joy on his face.

"Tsk, those files are scared, no matter what, it's still good for our morale."

"It's been arranged to go public." The man who walked up to the watchtower answered.

This morning, there was a joyful and arrogant atmosphere in the camp, and Wen Ren arranged people to call for the military camp of the resentful army from beginning to end, but the other party never responded.

Little did they know that at the same moment, a few miles from the rear of the camp of the resentful army, separated by foothills and woods, a battle was going on. Guo Yaoshi led the elite cavalry under his command and launched a charge against an army of 10,000 people......

The sound of hooves rolls and shakes the earth. In front of the 10,000-strong army, Long Wei, Fu Lu and others watched the iron hooves kill and set up a formation.

"Brothers, defend the country and kill the enemy, at this time, I, Long Wei, live and die with you——"

"Fu Lu dies with you—"

"Wang Chuanrong is here!"

"Cui He lives and dies with all his brothers—"

"Taiyuan Ni Jianzhong is here-"

Long Wei shouted towards the surrounding teams! Subsequently, the voice of harmony also continued to sound.

The sky was cloudy, it was black, and it was going to snow again.

Half an hour later, their banners fell, and the army collapsed. Driven by the iron hooves, the 10,000-strong array began to flee in all directions...... (To be continued......)
