Perhaps, there is such a thing as fate in the world, and what should happen must always happen.

No matter how much you try to avoid it, sometimes, you still can't avoid it and escape.

This is true for people, and it is like this for things.

Just when Gaozhi and Wang Yue looked at each other, Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun, who were planning to go north and merge with the state, were also facing a choice.

At this time, in front of them, was a strong wall.

The problem that should be faced has finally come.

Although, when they are in a hurry, they will try to choose a place with mountains and water sources to move forward.

One is to solve their own drinking water problem, and the other is to have a wide view of the river, so that they have enough time to deal with sudden situations.

Of course, on the other hand, they also have enough reconnaissance of the terrain to pick out areas that cannot pass through a large number of cavalry, but just enough to pass through horse-drawn carriages.

After all, there are not many other people in Xiliang, and those subordinate Qiang horses definitely belong to the flood level.

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo, this guy, was cleaning up Xiliang.

On the one hand, it was necessary to weaken the Qianghu forces in Xiliang, and on the other hand, it was necessary to make the Qiang people feel that they were cheating them, so at the suggestion of Li Ru, they compromised and followed the auxiliary army system of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that, compared to others, other people's auxiliaries are basically people's husbands, and the auxiliaries of the Xiliang soldiers are directly based on the Qiang cavalry with good combat effectiveness!

According to Dong Zhuo's words, you Qiang people are all good men.

However, in today's troubled times, you need to be attached to the strong, if you are willing, then follow behind me, I have a bite to eat without you.

Don't care if Dong Zhuo's words are foolish.

In short, when Dong Zhuo was alive, those Qiang people mostly followed Xiliang Tieqi to eat.

After a long time, the "traditional style" has been formed.

The general Xiliang Iron Cavalry must be equipped with auxiliaries around it.

According to one Xiliang cavalry, three Qiang cavalry are equipped as auxiliaries.

Then the Qiang cavalry captured some more people as miscellaneous soldiers to follow, constituting the battle composition of the Xiliang cavalry.

Unlike other armies where the auxiliary soldiers do not fight, the auxiliary soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Qiang Cavalry, generally play the role of a dog's leg.

Even as long as there is the leadership of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to fight some elite regular troops, it is smooth and stress-free.

Of course, without the leadership of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Qiang Cavalry could only be majestic to ordinary soldiers.

Regardless of the combat effectiveness, these Qiang cavalry armies composed of the "defeated generals" of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can not be put on the table for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

But no matter how you say that the Qiang cavalry is still cavalry, pack up and chase the infantry, then there must be no problem.

Even if it is an elite camp, it is two legs after all, and it is not an army formed by speed, plus it also needs to protect the Yan clan all the way, and the carriage can go to the road, if it really runs, how can it run past a creature with four legs?

Although the forces trapped in the faction will not fear them, they are now in a state of escape!

Once entangled, the trip can be greatly delayed.

So before, under the leadership of Gao Shun, they generally took a detour and traveled through mountain streams.

But now, no!

They have to choose to get through here!

"Uncle Gao? Are we going to storm the city? ”

Lu Lingqi lowered her little head, leaned in front of Gao Shun and asked, took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart, the little girl was a little excited now.

She also knew that the darkest time before dawn was this moment, and it was also the best time to attack the city!

"Don't worry about this, I'll stay in the carriage honestly later, protect your mother's safety, the sword has no eyes, don't make any mistakes!"

How could Gao Shun not know Lu Lingqi's thoughts, rolled his eyes, and said angrily.

And just as he and Lu Lingqi were explaining in a whisper, not far from their west, there was a sudden sound of slight footsteps.

Someone!

Gao Shun's mouth was closed, his palm was slightly raised, and he made a gesture.

In an instant, all the soldiers, with a wary expression, stared at the direction from which the voice came, ready to rush in the direction from which the voice came from at any time.

The little girl lowered her little head, did not dare to come out of the atmosphere, subconsciously tensed her nerves, tilted her head sideways and looked at the place where the sound came, and faintly saw a soldier walking over with a spear, looking left and right as if she did not notice the movement here.

Didn't find it?

Lu Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

Suddenly, she subconsciously heard an alarm signal, and a chill ran down her spine.

It's been discovered!

Lu Lingqi's eyes shrank suddenly.

At that moment, the scout soldier, who was looking left and right with very small steps, suddenly leaned over and rushed towards the grass where everyone was hiding.

But before he could raise his spear, a handful of dust was sprinkled in his face and his eyes narrowed.

The soldier subconsciously closed his eyes, and Gao Shun on this side reacted, took the opportunity to draw the short sword on his waist, threw the opponent to the ground, and the short sword in his hand pierced the opponent's waist.

"Damn it!" The scout soldiers who wanted to sneak attack Lu Lingqi were attacked by a sneak attack, but you can imagine how angry they were, and they wanted to resist regardless of the injuries on their bodies.

The next moment, his eyes were black, and his neck was vigorously twisted....

....

The movement under the city walls, the guards above, seemed to know nothing.

Hundreds of soldiers, in twos and threes, gathered around a campfire to roast the fire, and whispered teasing to each other, only a few soldiers stood on the edge of the city wall and kept warm.

After looking at it for a while, it seemed that the soldiers guarding the city couldn't bear the cold, so they found a fire and sat down, took out a skin bag, and took a sip.

"Leave me some!" I saw the soldier next to the city wall soldier muttering, snatched the skin bag and drank it to his mouth, and then took a deep breath and said.

"Whew...... I'm about to freeze to death, if there is no wine, we will not freeze to death here tonight! ”

"That's it!"

"MD, I can't stand it anymore, I'll go squint for a while and I'll leave it to you."

"You kid thinks beautifully, take turns, and I'm going to rest too."

Muttering a few words, several soldiers defending the city whispered one after another, and finally, a dozen soldiers were selected to be on guard, and the others all shrank down by the campfire and slept.

And the chosen soldier, of course, was not happy to brave the cold to keep vigil, and after a few casual glances outside the city, he returned to the campfire and never got up again......

Hmph, it's just cold, so let you drink to drive away the cold, and still covet warmth?

It's really a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, it seems that the general's worries are too much, and these guys who defend the city are nothing more than that......

Still, it's best to do that......

Not far away, the scouts who were trapped in the camp quietly went down the city tower, but they didn't see the squinting soldiers defending the city, and they were also vague, and glanced in his direction...
