They are there to help the court defend the city, and the court will not ignore us. The woman in uniform sighed secretly in her heart and replied with a strong face.

Today's Beifu Liangzhou is too busy to take care of itself, where will the imperial court pay attention to a Xiuchuan County under Shiyan Mansion.

It's just that she knows this, but the woman in military uniform can't say it, no matter what, she has to leave some thoughts for the old and weak women and children guarding the city, otherwise Xiuchuan City will be self-defeating.

"We've been on guard for eight days, and we've got two more days to go." An old man muttered to himself, a hint of hope in his cloudy eyes.

"yes, it's been eight days, hey, I don't know how many times I've repelled the bandits." A person next to him echoed.

"Thirteen times in total." A white-haired old man dressed funny, but in good spirits, said loudly. The voice was very loud, and it was very different from the other exhausted villagers on the city walls.

Seeing the old man talking, many people laughed, and a seemingly pungent woman teased: "Old Xiucai, did you do nothing, just lie down under the city wall and count."

I'll tell you, this isn't a bathtub at Widow Zhang's house, so don't let the thief's arrow blind you'll be blind, and you won't be able to peek at it when you want to. ”

Everyone burst out laughing, as much as they could joke. The old man was furious, blew his beard angrily and glared, pointed at the woman who was speaking, and said a few words in a row, but he couldn't say a word, and his face turned red in vain.

The woman in military uniform frowned, shook her head helplessly, and said in a harmonious voice: "Aunt Zheng, what you said is too bad, Mr. Qi moved stones and wood, I can see it clearly, but it is not much less than me, folks, don't make fun of others." ”

The spicy woman pursed her lips and muttered a few words, but finally stopped chewing the root of her tongue.

The old man glared at the villagers who had just made fun of him, and the woman in the costume bowed with great gratitude to show her gratitude.

"Hehe, needless to say, Old Man Qi's skills were all practiced when he was stealing things back then." I don't know who shouted behind the crowd, which made the old man's face collapse in an instant, like a frosted eggplant, and he suddenly hung his head.

The woman in military uniform is very speechless, the villagers are simple, but some bad habits are difficult to change, and sometimes it is really hard to say what to say.

The woman in military uniform coughed lightly and diverted the topic: "These people are not bandits, they are an alien army from the north, far more ferocious and hateful than those bandits. ”

"Ah, barbarians? It's not a big deal, it's not like we're running away. Everyone was shocked when they heard that it was a foreign general.

Thinking that he had fought with such an enemy for several days, and had the upper hand, how could he not let these villagers who had never been out of Shiyan Mansion for half their lives feel fluttering, and they all thought about how to tell their children and grandchildren about what happened today in the future.

The woman in uniform nodded, not saying anything more.

The ignorant are fearless, they are a rabble, and if they don't have a little courage, there is a chance that this city will not be able to hold it.

Eight days, although it is said that it is the Caohai soldiers, but it is by no means the elite soldiers in the battalion, at a glance, it is known that the guerrillas are scattered, and the number is not much, there are only about 100 people, the army is not even, not to mention the armored war horses, maybe it is the down-and-out children who have followed the Caohai army.

Otherwise, how could the only 1,000 or so old and sick people in the city resist these times?

The woman in military uniform strengthened her spirit and instructed the villagers who could still move around on the city wall to move the remaining stones and rolling logs together to prevent the next attack of the Caohai Liukou.

Seeing the remaining big stones and rolling wood, the woman's heart sank, there was not much left, if the enemy soldiers attacked the city, at most half a pillar of incense would be exhausted.

The boiling oil had long since run out, and some people had brought whetstones, pots, pots, pots, and jars from their own houses in the city, and almost everything that could be seen had been moved, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

The woman in the uniform faintly felt a little out of strength, the first few times the grass sea Liukou came to attack, these villagers who defended the city were frightened, and they didn't dare to look at the city with their eyes closed, but they only knew that they had thrown away everything they could grasp.

The woman in uniform stopped shouting, but was drowned in a burst of screams. Once the panic spreads, there is a great tendency to burn the prairies, one by one, you are fighting for me to grab and throw from the wall, the woman in military uniform stopped one, just took two steps, and the villagers who were stopped just now behind him began to secretly throw it down again.

When the villagers who defended the city were tired and stopped, nearly half of the materials used to defend the city were consumed, so that since then they have been a little stretched.

The woman in uniform frowned, looked at the stones and rolling logs scattered under the city, and wondered if she should take the risk and send someone to open the city gate and move some back.

Three days ago, the woman in uniform had this idea, and ordered a few officials left behind by the government to open the city gate at night and go outside the city to pick up these stones again. I never thought that as soon as I got out of the city gate, I was ambushed by the grass sea Liukou, these few men who were originally not many were killed by the grass sea Liukou's arrows, if it wasn't for the women in military uniforms who desperately killed the Liukou, I am afraid that even the city gate would be lost.

Just when the woman in uniform was thinking about whether she should take the risk, a baby's cry suddenly came from behind her, and she heard Mrs. Qi say happily: "Oh, why did you pick up Ling'er?" ”

The woman in military uniform was startled, and hurriedly looked back, only to see a middle-aged woman with a kind appearance holding a white and tender baby several months old, wrapped in a quilt, a pair of black and clear eyes dripping and turning, and when she saw the woman in military uniform, she cried with her hands open, which made people feel pity.

"Mother, why did you bring Ling'er here, the wind blows and smokes, you, hey." The woman in uniform just wanted to say that it was dangerous here, but these people around her were all in danger, and she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

The middle-aged woman coaxed the baby in her arms, and said in a kind voice: "Ling'er has been crying non-stop, I think he wants to kiss his mother, you lead the villagers to guard the city, and you don't worry about your mother, come and take a look."

Quick, Wantz, Ling'er let you hug him, hug him. With that, he sent the baby in his arms over.

The woman in uniform had no choice but to hand over the spear in her hand to the maid Li'er, and carefully hugged the baby, for fear that the armor on her body would bump the baby's young body.

When the young child arrived in his mother's arms, he probably felt that the smell of the woman in uniform was a little pungent, and he cried even more, and his two hands were scratching in the air, not knowing what he wanted.
