Now there are people from all walks of life in the city, there are people and Jianghu guests, as well as reinforcements such as Xiahou Zhuo from afar, everyone discussed, Liu Mu has the highest military position here, he is the fourth general, and his leading ability is indeed good, so the command of this place will be handed over to Liu Mu.

Liu Mu is the main general, Xiahou Zhuo and Tan Qianshou are the deputy generals, and all the teams follow the dispatch of these three people.

After discussion, it was decided that the three men would take turns to be on duty, dividing the twelve hours of a day and a night into three parts, to ensure that there were people awake at all times, and that at least two teams could maintain their full combat effectiveness at all times.

Li Qi, Yu Jiuling, and Zhuang Wushu are naturally Xiahou Zhuo, although Liu Mu expressed his hope that Li Qi could follow him, but Li Qi pretended not to see it.

The day and night of the second day were spent peacefully, and during the day of the third day, the movement of the black warriors outside the city became frequent, standing on the city wall and looking with clairvoyance, you could see the scout team of the black warriors scattered, and I didn't know what the hell was going on.

"Something isn't right."

Li Qi looked at Xiahou Zhuo and said: "General Tan was on duty in the first half of the night today, I have already reminded him to be careful, I think the black warriors should have some moves, although the reinforcements have just arrived and need to be familiar with the battlefield, but the previous black warriors have been fighting for six or seven days, and they are already very familiar with this place, and they have not attacked in a big way, I guess they may have to sneak attack at night." ”

Xiahou Zhuo nodded: "It's similar to what I thought, if nothing else, I will choose a master to climb the city wall secretly, if it is really the Heiwu Khan Emperor himself, there are countless masters around him, the most noteworthy is the Heiwu Qingya, the Qingya nets the masters of the Heiwu rivers and lakes, and there are many capable people." ”

Li Qi asked, "Is it equivalent to our Da Chu's Law Division?" ”

Xiahou pondered for a while and replied: "It is equivalent to the combined authority of our three divisions of Dachu's Law Recording Department, Investigation Department, and Internal Affairs Department. ”

Li Qi was stunned: "Such a terrifying yamen, there are no other constraints?" ”

Xiahou Zhuo said: "The only restriction on the surface is the Heiwu Khan Emperor, but in fact, the Qingya is controlled by the Sword Gate, and the head of the Sword Gate is the master behind the Qingya, and the believers of the Sword Gate are all over the Black Martial Arts, and the people's awe of the Sword Gate is even more than the awe of the Black Wu Khan Emperor." ”

Li Qi said: "The Khan Emperor of Heiwu would allow such a sect to exist? It stands to reason that it shouldn't. ”

"It really shouldn't."

Xiahou Zhuo explained: "But on the Heiwu side, there is the legend of the moon god first, and then there is the Heiwu Empire, hundreds of years ago, the iron cavalry of the Mongolian Empire stepped through the land of Heiwu, at that time Heiwu was not a complete country, but a group of city-states or small countries, it is said that there were thousands of large and small at that time, so the iron cavalry of the Mongolian Empire was almost all the way to the past, and there was no opponent at all. ”

"After the Black Warriors were ruled by the Mongol Empire for decades, the first to rebel was the Ghost Moon Eight Division, driving out the Mongol Empire, but the Black Warriors fell into a civil war again, and the people of the Ghost Moon Clan claimed that they had been guided by the Moon God, and one of the clan leaders of the Eight Ghost Moon Tribes was worshiped as the messenger of the Moon God in the world, announcing the establishment of the Black Warrior Empire."

Xiahou Zhuo glanced at Li Qi and continued: "Later, in order to strengthen the rule, the first generation of the Heiwu Khan Emperor asked a great sword master to create the Sword Gate, the great sword master claimed to be the slave of the Moon God, and absorbed believers to protect the Black Martial Arts at the will of the Moon God, with this gimmick, the rule of the Heiwu Khan Emperor became more and more solid, because the Khan Emperor was the ruler of the Moon God in the world, but who knew that more than a hundred years later, the prestige of the Sword Gate had become more and more great, so big that even the Khan Emperor had to be crowned by the Sword Gate Sect Master to be considered orthodox, and that time began, The Sword Gate was no longer under control. ”

After hearing this, Li Qi nodded: "So the Black Martial Khan Emperor should also be quite depressed." ”

Xiahou Zhuo said: "In order to win people's hearts at the beginning, they created the Sword Gate, but now the Sword Gate has become a threat to the Black Martial Khan Emperor, and the status of the Sword Gate Sect is still above the Khan Emperor, although the Sword Gate Sect cannot interfere in the Black Martial Dynasty politics, but in fact, the Khan Emperor's order is absolutely useless as the Sword Gate Sect Master's order." ”

Li Qi thought, there must be no such sect.

Xiahou Zhuo continued: "The Western Regions are also about the same, the people of the Western Regions believe in Zen Buddhism, and the kings of the small countries in the Western Regions also have to rule the country with the help of the faith power of Zen Buddhism. ”

Although these things have nothing to do with Li Qi, Li Qi still remembers them all.

Tan Qianshou was on duty in the first half of the night, he led the team to replace him, he held the city wall and looked into the distance, the camps of the black warriors were not the same, although Xiahou Zhuo brought 1,200 reinforcements, but he was actually not at all steady.

If within two or three days, the Jizhou army will not come to support, it will not be far from the city break.

The young man surnamed Li used a bluff to temporarily deceive the black warriors, but the black warriors are not stupid, they can be deceived once and can be deceived twice? Moreover, even if they really thought that Prince Wu was here, and hundreds of thousands of troops had arrived, it was impossible for Prince Wu to be scared away just because he was here.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and thinking about this, before I know it, the time has passed.

Tan Qianshou moved his body, ready to go around the circle, just took a step and saw Liu Mu carrying a food box up, he greeted him with a smile, Liu Mu raised the food box in his hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "I'm about to rotate with you, thinking that I should be hungry at this time, I came up in advance to eat with you." ”

When I opened the food box, there were hot nests and pickles.

The two sat down cross-legged on the city wall, chatting while eating, at this age, chatting and chatting will talk about the former youth, when the two had just joined the army and were divided together, each other was the first person to know, the same age and the same ideals and ambitions, so that the friendship between the two of them quickly became deep.

If it weren't for the big war that shouldn't have happened, the two of them might have a much better relationship now, and maybe they would have been separated.

"You go back first, it's time."

Liu Mu got up and pulled Tan Qian's hand: "Old arms and legs, hurry back and rest, and you will be on duty tomorrow." ”

Tan Qianshou was not convinced: "I am two months younger than you." ”

Liu Mu said: "But you look like an old vegetable gang, how can I be so smart." ”

Tan Qianshou snorted, and then went down to the city to rest.

Not long after Tan Qianshou came down the ramp, on the side of the city wall close to the mountain, several black shadows quietly turned up, their movements were extremely agile, and their hands and feet were very light, their knives were wrapped in thick cloth to avoid the reflection of the moonlight, after these people came up, they quietly approached the soldiers guarding here, touched them from one side, and quickly stabbed those soldiers to death with their mouths.

In the second half of the night, it was the time when people began to get sleepy, and the new soldiers woke up, not yet in spirit, and the black warriors had calculated the time to come up here on purpose.

They did not immediately attack the city on the night they came, the purpose was to observe the time of the changing of the guard on the city wall, the people on duty went down, the people on duty came up, it was inevitable that some people would not be in place, especially near the mountain, the people who changed the guard needed to walk farther to get there.

After the black-clothed men stabbed the nearby soldiers to death, they quickly put down the rope on their backs, tied one end to the battlements, and waited for the black martial arts masters under the city to see the rope put down, and immediately began to climb up.

Liu Mu was on patrol, and he was keenly aware that there were a few black shadows over there with strange movements, so he immediately pulled out his knife and shouted: "What person!" ”

When those people saw Liu Mu bringing people over, they looked at each other, and then raised their scimitars to meet Liu Mu and rushed over, the people behind had not come up yet, and they had to block the Chu army for the follow-up people and buy more time.

Liu Mu knew that things were not good when he saw the scimitar, he shouted an enemy attack, ordered the horn to be blown, and then swung the knife and slashed at a black martial arts master.

What I didn't expect was that the black warrior was extremely strong in martial arts, and Liu Mu's knife was already very fierce, but the black warrior moved faster, sideways to avoid Liu Mu's knife and then stabbed Liu Mu in the heart.

Dang!

A hole was directly poked in the heart guard, if it weren't for the chain armor he was wearing, this knife would have stabbed Liu Mu to death.

Liu Mu was shocked, and forced the black warrior back with a sweep, and the personal soldiers around him rushed up and squeezed forward, but on the opposite side of the crowd, the two black warriors jumped up in the air and flew directly over the heads of the crowd, and the two of them shot the crossbow in their hands towards Liu Mu at the same time.

Liu Mu's long knife splashed out a piece of silver in front of him, and in the jingling sound, the two crossbow arrows that shot from him were swept away by him, but before he could fight back, a black warrior came in from outside the city wall on his side, and just saw Liu Mu, and chopped down the back of Liu Mu's neck with a knife.

Liu Mu sensed the danger, and strode forward to avoid the knife, but it was still a little slower, and the scimitar slashed at his back, directly cutting a long bloody wound.

Liu Mu shouted in severe pain, turned around and swept out with a knife to force the black warrior back, he thought that the soldiers around him were still there, but in this trance, the six or seven soldiers who rushed over had already fallen to the ground.

The skills of those black warriors are really a little terrifying.

The soldiers of the Chu army in the back had already rushed over, but they were stopped by the black warriors who climbed up from outside the city one after another, each of these black warriors was very capable of fighting, six or seven people stopped on the city wall, and the Chu army could not rescue Liu Mu for a while.

But at this time, Tan Qianshou came back, he forgot to remind Liu Mu that before he went to the city, Brother Li asked him to be careful of the sneak attack of the black warriors, so he thought that he was back again, and wanted to say something to Liu Mu, but when he came up, he heard a shout, felt that something was wrong, and accelerated to rush forward.

As soon as he went to the city, he saw Liu Mu being besieged by several black-clothed people, Tan Qian's hand drew a knife forward, and when he rushed forward, he watched Liu Mu being slashed on the shoulder, and the knife was almost completely embedded in Liu Mu's body.

Tan Qianshou's eyes widened suddenly, and he rushed over from behind, slashing the man in black to death with a knife, and the knife of the man in black was still stuck in Liu Mu's shoulder, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.

Tan Qian took Liu Mu by the hand, and found that his old friend was already covered in blood, and he didn't know how many knives he had been hit, and he looked like he was about to die.

"I'll take you away!"

Tan Qianshou hugged Liu Mu's waist with one arm and carried the person up, holding a knife in his right hand and fighting all the way back to retreat, a black warrior behind raised his hand and shot with a crossbow, their crossbow was not a crossbow, but the power was great, Tan Qianshou didn't notice it at all, but Liu Mu on his shoulder noticed it.

The crossbow arrow flew, and Liu Mu was no longer able to swing the knife, so he raised his arm to block the back of Tan Qian's neck, and with a poof, the crossbow arrow hit Liu Mu's arm, and the arrow was blocked by the bone.

Liu Mu snorted, his face becoming more and more ugly.

"Hold on!"

Tan Qian fought with a knife and killed out of the man in black.

On the other side, another man in black raised his crossbow and released an arrow, Liu Mu was lying on Tan Qianshou's shoulder, he was facing the back to look back, and saw this arrow again, so he lowered his head suddenly, and blocked Tan Qianshou's back with his body, and with a poof, the arrow pierced Liu Mu's back.

Tan Qian ran down the ramp with Liu Mu in his hand, and after putting Liu Mu down, he shouted loudly: "Send him to the medical officer!" ”

Liu Mu smiled reluctantly and said, "Don't worry, Lao Tzu can't die." ”

Tan Qianshou said: "You dare to die?!" ”

Burst!

A broadsword nearly a foot wide flew down from the city wall and pierced directly through Tan Qianshou's chest, and the broadsword almost cut him in two.

Tan Qianshou staggered, looked down at the sword that came out of his chest, and then looked at Liu Mu, who was already frightened in front of him, he smiled hard, muttered Don't worry about I'm fine, and then fell headlong.
