Chapter 406: Truce
But as a human being, there will always be a time when his physical strength is exhausted, gradually, Lu Li felt that he could no longer hold the sword in his hand, and the sky in the distance, which was still pitch black, began to gradually reveal a little white, and slowly, there was still a faint character on the horizon due east.
It's almost dawn, the sun is slowly rising below the horizon, and the sun is about to shine on the world.
The long night is almost over, and when will their war end?
Lu Li's sword stabbed into the enemy's chest, and their car looked back and pulled out of the enemy's chest.
The blade of the sword brought out boiling blood, and in the faint sunlight, the bright red blood droplets refracted dazzling colors in the air.
Lu Li's physical strength was about to be exhausted, and she bent down uncontrollably, using her sword to support her unstable body.
Her physical strength is really limited. Not to mention these burly Hu people, even the generals and soldiers in the military camp can't compare.
She's not good at fighting protracted battles in the first place. Being able to persevere until now already feels like I'm almost at my extreme.
A bearded man slashed down at her. Lu Li held up the last of his strength to dodge, holding the sword in both hands and stabbing her shoulders hard.
The man was about to hold it, but she held Lu Li's sword tightly with one hand, and Lu Li couldn't pull out the sword, so the man stretched out his other hand and grabbed the buckle around Lu Li's waist, lifting her whole person into the air.
At the moment of weightlessness, Lu Li felt that his death was approaching.
Many brothers will be sacrificed on the battlefield, and perhaps she will become one of them.
Lu Li struggled a little desperately, however, she was only lifted, her hands and feet had no place to support, and the sword in her hand was still stuck in the man's shoulder.
She will surely die.
The Hu man holding her threw her out so hard that the whole person in the road flew into the air, and he was about to cross the city wall and fall outside the city.
At the height of the city wall, she was thrown from such a height and fell to the ground outside the city to die or be maimed.
What's more, there are Hu soldiers outside the city who have not attacked the city wall, maybe she fell down and no one died. will be hacked to death by these Hu people with knives.
As she fell out of the city wall, a pair of long, blood-stained hands grabbed her wrists hard.
"Lu Li, hold my hand."
Lu Li reacted, raised his head and tried to open his eyes, Shangguan Yuling was lying on the city wall, and all his strength was put on the hand that grabbed her wrist.
Shangguan Yuling's face was a little red because of excessive force, and the green tendons on his forehead slowly swelled, after a night of fierce fighting, his physical strength was also a little exhausted, but his beloved was in front of him, if he let go of his hand a little, he would never see her again.
"General, don't lose your life for me."
Lu Li watched the Hu man behind him raise his knife and slash at Shangguan Yuling, she used her last strength to pull out the dagger at her waist and threw it at the man.
The dagger hit the center of the man's eyebrows, the man fell to the ground, Lu Li let go of his hand, looked down and saw the Hu guards shouting under the city wall, and raised his eyes in despair.
"Let it go."
The hand she was still holding on to Shangguan Yinling had gradually let go, and Shangguan Yinling shook her head in despair and grabbed her wrist with all her might.
"No, don't ......"
Just as Lu Li fell, a rope suddenly fell from the side.
"Dead girl, grab the rope!"
She looked up and saw that Duan Lang was tying the other end of the rope to the stones of the city wall.
When it matters, brothers can still be of some use.
Lu Li grabbed the rope and climbed up, and Shangguan Yinling and Duan Lang pulled her back again.
It's so dangerous, it's almost going to fall into the mouth of the tiger.
The ladder that the Hu people set up on the city wall had been basically burned into wood by the oil and flames they poured down, and the remaining Hu guards who had already attacked the city gate were also dealt with by them, and the smoke on the city wall gradually faded, and finally at sunrise, they temporarily ended the war.
The Hu people lost most of them, after all, they were still in a weak position when it came to attacking the city, especially the ladder they built after the army of the Great Liang Dynasty was not too strong, and only a few of them were all burned by fire.
At the moment, they are at a disadvantage, and besides, they have been fighting all night, and if they are forcibly working, they are afraid that it will be even more unfavorable to them.
The group stood on the city wall and watched the Hu people withdraw their troops.
They won the war temporarily.
After the end, the soldiers carried the dead and wounded soldiers and Hu people back to the barracks, and the group returned to the barracks with the last strength to stand in front of the school field, and all the soldiers stood in their own positions.
A few people's eyes swept into the team, and they could see which people were missing.
After only one night, hundreds of brothers were killed and wounded, and the barracks became deserted in an instant.
In the next few days, the Hu people did not provoke at the upper city gate, they buried the dead soldiers separately, and the old people in the family were given a pension, and the barracks were still the same as before, every day at dawn, the soldiers got up and went to the school field to practice, and the barracks at this time were less cheerful and laughing than in the past, and more dignified and serious.
After experiencing a big war, the soldiers who did not have a clear understanding of the war finally understood that their personal physical strength was still somewhat lacking compared to the stronger Hu people, if they wanted to really protect their brothers and homes on the battlefield, they had to make themselves stronger, only when they became strong, the military camp could become strong, and the Hu people could be afraid of their guards, and they would not dare to make another mistake after suffering hardships.
After that, they fought with the Hu people outside the city gate several times one after another, and the losses on both sides were not small, but seeing that the soldiers of the Xincheng Guardian Army were getting stronger and stronger, and seeing that there were still few men in the tribe because of the war, they became fewer and fewer because of the war, in order to prevent the tribe from continuing to depression or even going to extinction, finally after the last war, the tribal leader sent people into the city to negotiate peace with the commander of the guard.
It stands to reason that the original peace agreement was to ask the commanders of both sides to come forward, but in the last siege battle, Prime Minister Shangguan Cheng was so hated the enemy that he wanted to compete with them with his sword, and accidentally flashed his waist, and he was sick in bed, and the big and small things in the military camp were taken care of by Shangguan Yuling.
Therefore, in this peace negotiation, Shangguan Prime Minister still did not come forward, but Shangguan Yuling met with the other party's people.
Knowing that the Hu people finally admitted defeat and were willing to negotiate peace, the people finally showed a smile of relief, and the celebratory atmosphere in the city was no less than that of the New Year's Festival.
At this moment, the people finally knew that the oppressed could not blindly swallow their anger, but should properly learn to raise arms to defend their rights and interests.
