This is the first time that the Yanshan battalion has tried to take the initiative to snatch the place occupied by the official army, and it is also a border pass, the reason why Li Qi dares to persuade Yu Chaozong like this is because he has nine points of trust in Yu Chaozong, the reason is very simple, if Yu Chaozong does not have that mind, he will not let Zhuang Wushu take the strength of the battalion and Li Qi to Daizhou Pass.

Yu Chaozong just constrained too much, and he didn't think of a reason to convince the other people in the Yanshan camp, Li Qi asked Zhuang Wushu to bring him the words, and found this reason for him.

No matter what Bi Datong thinks, he must first take care of his own life and death, and also prepare for his own future, so at this point, Li Qi is sure that Bi Datong and Yu Chaozong will have the same judgment and decision.

In fact, in Li Qi's view, Yu Chaozong has all the elements that a hero should have, he is an upright and righteous person, a person who stresses faith, righteousness, honesty, shame and great ambition, but he is just a hero, in terms of character, if Bi Datong's ruthlessness and insidiousness are given to Yu Chaozong, then Yu Chaozong is a standard hero.

So all the constraints in Yu Chaozong's heart are just because he is a hero, and they all stem from his own character, when he can be ruthless, a Bi Datong can really affect Yu Chaozong's status in Yanshan Camp?

So when Li Qi thought of this, he also made a decision in his heart, if he must assist one person in the future, then this person is Yu Chaozong.

Those shortcomings in Yu Chaozong's character, Li Qi felt that he could be supplemented, this was also the first time Li Qi took the initiative to think about such a thing, he even thought carefully about other people, such as Prince Yu, such as the Jiedu envoy, such as everyone he knew who might go to compete for the world, he had thought about it, but in his mind, the appearance of a benevolent monarch did not fit these people, and the only fit was Yu Chaozong.

Li Qi has more considerations in his heart, people like Prince Yu will not look down on the people, their kind of people have to rely on the same kind of people, they will feel that the people are grass mustard, worthless grass mustard.

So Li Qi thought, what does Brother Yu of the Yu Dynasty Zong Yu do with such a person to compete for the world with someone like Prince Yu?

Only the hearts of the people.

Prince Yu has the support of the major forces in Jizhou, and those big families will provide Prince Yu with a steady stream of gold and silver funding, and when the situation is clear in the future, they will not only participate in gold and silver funding, but also participate in it personally.

But apart from the hearts of the people, Brother Yu has nothing to compare with Prince Yu.

But what is the world?

Is it really a thousand miles away?

No, it's the people, all the people.

This is the first big life goal that the fourteen-and-a-half-year-old Li Qi set for himself, he wants to assist Yu Chaozong to make the world return to Lang Lang Qiankun.

Yu Jiuling has always been by Li Qi's side, he watched the change of the sky from late night to early morning, and also watched Li Qi's face change from heavy to bright, at that moment, Yu Jiuling knew that Li Qi had figured it out.

"Let's go have a meal, it's time for us to be on duty soon."

Yu Jiuling stretched out his hand, and Li Qi also stretched out his hand.

After pulling Li Qi up, Yu Jiuling smiled as much as he could, and said in a relaxed tone: "After what happened last night, the black warriors may not come to attack at night again, they are going to attack on the bright side, it seems to be better." ”

Li Qi nodded, when all the threats from the enemy are on the surface, even if the enemy is strong enough, it seems to be relatively better, when the equally strong enemy threatens himself with means that are not on the surface, the weaker side will always seem very helpless and uneasy.

Life and death are on the bright side, which is good.

After breakfast, Li Qi and Yu Jiuling returned to the city wall with food, Xiahou Zhuo had not slept all night, and it seemed that there was a faint bloodshot in his eyes, Li Qi put the food

After handing it to Xiahou Zhuo, he said: "General Tan didn't fight, General Liu was seriously injured, now we have to divide the team into three batches, Yu Jiuling and I will bring a batch, you will bring a batch, and let Zhuang Wushu bring a batch." ”

Xiahou Zhuo nodded, and replied decisively: "Then I'll go back and rest, I'm still on duty in the second half of the night today, let Zhuang Wushu come up in the first half of the night, you keep an eye on it now." ”

Li Qi said: "I don't call people to call you to come to the city wall, and you don't have to come up for big things, just sleep well." ”

The corners of Xiahou Zhuo's mouth rose slightly, and he nodded: "I know." ”

He can trust Li Qi, and Li Qi's trusting feeling will also make people ignore his real age.

On the city wall, Li Qi summoned Tan Qianshou's subordinates, in fact, there are not many veterans of Tan Qianshou, most of them are volunteers.

"I'm here to take over the command of General Tan Qianshou, everyone may not know me, or they may think that I may not be able to lead the team well when I am young, but I don't plan to say anything more to prove that I have this ability, no matter how beautiful I say it, it is useless, so I only say two things."

Li Qi stretched out his hand: "First, I won't stand behind you when the enemy comes, and second, you can run for your life after I die." ”

He turned to look out of the city, and after a moment of silence, he said, "My name is Li Qi." ”

The enemy is really coming.

An hour later, the overwhelming black army pressed up, almost filling the entire mountain gorge, and also crowded the open space outside the border pass, standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, it seemed that it was a group of people, but a group of dense black spots.

Li Qi put the quiver beside him, turned back to Yu Jiuling and said, "A few days ago, I asked people to build nail rackets, and now they should be used, so they will all be brought up." ”

Yu Jiuling immediately took someone to carry the nail shot, before this, the city defense weapon had never used such a tactic, Li Qi thought of it a few days ago, and asked Tan Qianshou and Liu Mu's people to help build it.

Each nail is about five feet long, made of new wood, and there are many long nails nailed down on one side of the nail racket, and the exposed part of the nail is about three or four inches, and these nail racks are hung on the battlements with thick rope at both ends, and about 20 pieces have been made in the past few days.

"Bring the water in the cauldron to a boil!"

Li Qi commanded again.

More than a dozen cauldrons were erected on the city wall, filled with snow, and the firewood under the cauldron was lit, and the snow gradually melted.

"Listen to my orders and then release the arrows!"

Li Qi shouted loudly: "I have a limited number of feather arrows, hang the prepared planks outside the city wall!" ”

In addition to nailing, Li Qi also asked people to split countless wooden planks and hang them on the outside of the city wall, especially hanging a few more pieces on the wall battlements.

The horn of the siege outside the city sounded, and the black warriors began to press forward neatly, and when they approached the city wall, their speed increased, and the neat phalanx spread out, looking like ants that had exploded their nests.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Li Qi snorted.

The feather arrows on the city wall were all brought by Xiahou Zhuo, and the number was not small, but God knows how long the border pass would have to be guarded, and God knew if there were any reinforcements arriving, so every feather arrow could not be wasted.

The enemy was lowered to about twenty zhang before the arrows began to be fired, and wherever the arrows went, the soldiers at the front of the black warriors fell neatly like wheat that had been put down by a sickle.

The arrow array of the black warriors began to cover and press towards the city wall, trying to beat the defenders to the head of the soldiers, and the feather arrows were dense, like a locust plague, and they slammed into their heads.

"The enemy army is in the city!"

A Chu soldier asked Li Qi in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to let go of the nail shot?!" ”

Li Qi shook his head: "Listen to my orders!" ”

After holding on for another half a moment or so, the city was already crowded with people, Li Qi held his shield and glanced down, and then shouted: "Put it down!" ”

In the whirring sound, more than 20 nails fell, whistling and covering the heads of those black warriors, and under the nail shot were nails three or four inches in length, which were directly nailed into the heads of the black warriors, and the nails were smashed down, and at least four or five black warriors were stoned to death below.

"Pull it up and put it back!"

Hearing Li Qi's shout, the soldiers struggled to pull the rope to pull the nail up, and then let go suddenly, the nail beat fell with a roar, and countless long nails poked into the top of the black warrior's head, and when they pulled it up, the blood and brains on the nail were still dripping.

The Black Warriors suffered heavy losses, but their forces were more numerous, and more and more people reached the bottom of the city walls and began to push the ladder up.

"Is the water boiling?!"

Li Qi shouted back.

"That's it!"

Yu Jiuling replied loudly.

Li Qi stretched out his hand and pointed: "Splash these bastards!" ”

The soldiers carried the big iron pot up, and poured it down on the head of the black warrior on the ladder, and the thick white gas came out from the boiling water, and in the smoke, the wail of the black warrior seemed so terrible.

"Burn again!"

When Li Qi shouted, his voice was already broken.

The soldiers carried the pot back and shoveled the snow into the pot with shovels, and the fire below was still strong, and the snow quickly melted.

This kind of cold winter weather, especially in the mountains of northern Xinjiang, the climate is even more cold, and it will not take long for the boiling water to turn into ice ballast, and Li Qi wants to turn this side of the pass into an ice city.

The black warriors under the city cried wolf howl, someone was splashed with boiling water and fell directly from the ladder, reached out to wipe it on the face that was splashed, and the flesh on the face fell off a layer, someone reached out to pull the person who fell down, grabbed his hand and pulled it up, and the flesh on the back of the whole hand was pulled off.

When the nail was pulled up, some of the corpses were still being carried off the ground, their skulls were hung by nails, where the corpses were swaying, and the dead people's eyes were rolling up, as if they wanted to see what was in their skulls.

The siege lasted for an hour, the black warriors had to retreat after leaving a large number of corpses, when the horn of the black warriors retreated, the people on the city wall all cheered, they looked at Li Qi, no matter how old the man, when he looked at Li Qi, there was no slightest doubt in his eyes, only admiration and trust.

Li Qi felt this trusting gaze, he clenched his fists and glanced around, and then leaned over.

After he got up, he said loudly: "Take back the planks outside the city wall, pull out all the feather arrows and keep them, and then put the planks back, overhaul the nails, the black warriors will come up, we don't have much time to be happy." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone responded.

At the end of the city wall, Xiahou Zhuo, who came up quietly, looked at this scene and smiled like a relieved old mother, he trusted Li Qi, he knew that Li Qi could fight this battle, he just didn't worry about Li Qi's safety.

On the other side, Zhuang Wushu also relaxed and let out a long breath.

While everyone was cheering, Xiahou Zhuo quietly left the city wall, he returned to his place where he lived, threw himself on the kang in a large font, and laughed without knowing why.

In that way, it was like seeing that he, the little leopard raised by his leopard mother, could finally hunt alone, and it was like he, the little piglet raised by his mother pig, had finally learned to arch cabbage.

The old face is pleased.
