Before Hou Mi finished speaking, there was another horn sound in the wind and snow.

Compared with the horn of the retreat just now, this time it was more majestic and loud.

Suddenly, Hou Mi and Cao Ning looked at each other.

Which one is this?

Before Hou Mi and Cao Ning could speak, there was a different whistling sound in the wind, and the two of them secretly screamed at the same time almost at the same time, and the next moment the dense stone bullets smashed head-on, crackling and hitting the city wall.

Many of the soldiers in the city were hit by stone bullets and fell to the ground screaming, and of course, some of them reacted more quickly and grabbed their shields to resist. The Turks did not have any of these stone projectiles, but they were unexpectedly numerous.

After all, the rammed earth walls were not piled up of stones, and they fell into disrepair, and soon gaps appeared in some places.

Cao Ning and Hou Mi had already retreated to the upper city trail, and the two of them glanced at each other with a wry smile, obviously the Turks had given up direct attack, but planned to consume the city defense little by little. No matter how small the stone bullet is and how high the city wall is, it can't stand such a smash. And all the stones that struck the city were piled up under the city, and together with the corpses, they formed a new way up the city.

"The city must be repaired quickly!" Cao Ning frowned and said.

Several battlements in the city have already collapsed, and if this continues, there will really be some surprises.

"Let's wait." Hou Mi waved his hand, "Since the enemy intends to deal with us through such means, it is impossible to stop for a while, and we will not only have to risk being smashed to repair the city now, but also achieve half the effort." ”

"But it doesn't work!" Cao Ning stomped his foot, "At least it's better than watching our city walls fall apart!" ”

Before the words fell, he was about to rush up, but was dragged by Hou Mi.

Although in terms of actual age, Hou Mi is really not a few years older than Cao Ning, but at this time, the majesty of Shangguan was revealed, and Cao Ning was also stunned: "General······"

"If your brother were here, he wouldn't be so messed up." Hou Mi said lightly, "I have already said that all this has just begun, if you are like this now, you are in the hands of the Turks." All we can do now is wait. ”

"But ······" Cao Ning gritted his teeth, obviously still a little unwilling, but Hou Mi also brought out his brother's name, which made Cao Ning have to think deeply.

Indeed, Cao Ning has long hoped that he can become the same person as his brother, which makes him think that if his brother is here, at least he should not be so flustered as himself.

"But the problem still has to be solved." Hou Mi expressed Cao Ning's worries, "Are there more stones in the south of the city?" ”

Cao Ning smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, although we are in the middle of the river valley here, the stones on both sides are not easy to take, which is why there are few large ones among the stone bullets thrown by the Turks." Moreover, if we rush to open the mountain and take stones, we will also block our back road. ”

"What about wood?" Hou Mi then said.

"There is still a lot of wood, and after the subordinates came, they ordered that all the wood within a radius of five or six miles have been collected back for emergencies." Cao Ning hurriedly said, but he still felt a little helpless when he remembered something, "But we don't have much hot oil, even if we have wood, it's useless·····"

Hou Mi waved his hand: "The wood is used to make a fire, this place is very close to the big river, let the brothers who repair it later go to the big river to get water and ice!" ”

"Huh?" Cao Ning thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at it with wide eyes, "We are not short of water." ”

"If you want to go, you will go." Hou Mideng said impatiently, this stone crackled down, and his own mood was naturally not much better.

————————————

The wind and snow gradually subsided, and the Gobi became a vast snowfield.

Huge armies trudged through the snowy fields.

"How long has it been since the news from Huile has arrived?" While looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers, Cao Zhong shouted at the top of his voice.

The wind was howling, and the words were almost scattered by the wind, and in order to unfold this map, the surrounding guards formed a windproof wall. Yu Yi also walked over step by step, the old general looked very energetic, and said loudly: "It's been about three or four days, and this heavy snow has made our march have to be displaced by the wind for more than ten miles. ”

After a pause, Yu Yi stretched out his hand and nodded on the map: "Now the scout we can contact is still ten miles away from Huile City, it is estimated that it will be a few hours before the news comes back, and everything is going well on the road." ”

"Where's Yu Xi?" Cao Zhong then asked. After Yu Xi came back with someone to report the news, he left with the team almost non-stop, leaving a day earlier than the army, and it should be the closest reinforcement to Huilecheng now.

Even if they were only a few hundred cavalrymen, it was better than nothing.

"Here and here." Yu Yi said in a deep voice, "These two mountain cols should be the only places we should be able to rely on after the return to the music, so should we leave half of the soldiers and horses here?" ”

"The old general is worried that he won't be able to defend Lecheng?" Cao Zhong asked bluntly.

In any case, Huilecheng is to guard the throat of the river valley, and Yu Yi does not go back to Lecheng to guard this mountain pass, and the meaning is naturally self-evident.

"Isn't General Zhengxi worried?" Yu Yideng asked rhetorically.

Cao Zhong shook his head: "I believe in Hou Mi, as long as we can keep Huile, then it is superfluous for us to leave soldiers and horses here now, and to be able to pull more people to Huile City, it is the greatest help to Huile, where the terrain is narrow, and the only thing that can be done is to fill in more people, until both sides can't move." ”

Yu Yi looked at Cao Zhong silently, and Cao Zhong looked at him without hesitation.

Either way, there are risks.

After a long time, Yu Yi nodded: "Then I will listen to General Zhengxi." ”

He already knew about the conflict between Li Xinchen and Yang Jian in the south again, no matter what the reason was, at this time, Yu Yi and Cao Zhong's subordinates were already mixed together, and it was naturally impossible for the two sides to have any more conflicts, otherwise they would only be able to cheapen the Turks at that time.

And the Northern Zhou Dynasty court quickly sent Liang Rui to Xiao Guan, the meaning is naturally obvious, what Yu Yi wants to do, Yang Jian doesn't want to care about it at this time, and he knows that he can't control it, so he simply let Yi go.

Then Yu Yi naturally has nothing to be polite about.

Nominally, this army still belongs to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but in fact it already belongs to the Lantian Yu clan, and what the Lantian Yu clan will use as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Han Dynasty depends on Yu Yi's own ability.
