The snow had dispersed, but the wind was still strong.

Yu Xi, who had just arrived, didn't have time to talk to Hou Mi at all, so he hurried up to the city wall, and Hou Mi and Cao Ning were already waiting here.

It's not morning yet, and I don't know if there will be sunrise today, but it's the coldest and darkest time before dawn, and this applies no matter what the weather or place it is. Although he was close to the torch, Yu Xi still didn't feel any warmth.

The Turkic trebuchets bombarded almost non-stop for half a day and a night, and at this time finally subsided, and it was clear that the Turks had withdrawn all their men and were preparing for a new large-scale attack, and they could even see the little fire wafting at the end of the valley, and it was not known whether the Turks were lining up or preparing to make a fire.

Under the stormy stone bomb smashing, the entire Huile City has become full of holes, and it can even be said that it is leaking everywhere. Especially in the second half of the night, the Turks even used ice blocks and some large stones that they didn't know where to find them, and they smashed down the city wall for a short time. It was precisely because the Turks threw everything into the city later, so Hou Mi and the soldiers defending the city even suspected that the Turks should have thrown everything they could find, and now they should not be able to find anything.

Now the soldiers of the Han family are intensively repairing the city wall, but it has reached this time, and they can only pile up stones and soil messily.

And the buckets of water that had been heated were brought to the city walls, and everyone looked at these buckets, and no one knew what the general meant. Yu Xi also looked at Hou Mi in surprise at this time, although he had been working with this guy for a long time, Yu Xi felt that he was obviously inferior to Hou Mi in terms of the number of ghost ideas.

The wind blew the city, the flags danced, and everyone stopped what they were doing. As soon as Hou Mi's hand fell, a row of soldiers picked up buckets and threw them directly at the broken city wall!

"This?" Cao Ning and Yu Xi both cried out in surprise.

And the soldiers also watched as the water that had been taken from the side of the river and the snow collected from the corners were splashed down in such a neat way.

The boiling water splashed violently on the cold stones and city walls, and suddenly bursts of white mist rose, and for a time the dilapidated city wall was shrouded in the rising mist, like a fairyland, and the Turks were obviously frightened by this scene, and for a while they were also silent.

The wind was howling and blowing against the walls, and when the fog on and below the city gradually dissipated, the places that had been contaminated with water were already freezing little by little. The soldiers in the back followed up and poured more water on it, this time freshly melted snow or water taken from the great river and even with thin ice, so much water poured down from the city layer by layer.

In the early morning, when the coldest time comes, standing on the head of the city and blowing the wind for a while, people are already almost unconscious. And this is also the best time to freeze. Layers of ice spread from below to above, and even the rubble beneath the city, which was entirely the result of a night of rubbish thrown by the Turks, was covered with a layer of frost.

After all, the wind still blew away the dark clouds shrouded in the sky, and when a long-lost sunshine sprinkled on the head of Huile City, the scene in front of him made everyone, whether it was up and down the city, whether it was Han or Turkic, held their breath.

The original city wall was full of holes, but at this time there were no scars, and a thick layer of ice covered the surface of the city wall, like a layer of ice armor.

Yu Xi subconsciously tapped the ice layer with the handle of the knife in his hand, and found that it was much stronger than he imagined. When you think about it, it's a relief, the ice on the river is thick enough for even a carriage to pass through, let alone strike with the handle of a knife.

All the people in the city breathed a sigh of relief, when the Turks desperately collected things and threw them into the city, everyone also felt strange about Hou Mi's somewhat strange order, but because it was the order of the main general, naturally there was no way to disobey it.

Moreover, repairing the city wall with the stone bullets of the Turks would inevitably mean heavy casualties, and it was not impossible to take a risk.

Now it seems that the venture was well worth it.

In the midst of this howling cold wind, this layer of armor in Huile City will only get stronger and stronger.

"Still stunned for what to do, pour the newly transported water down." Hou Mi waved his hand, in fact, he himself had been worried. But fortunately, the Turks are still saving face, and God is not hesitant to show his magic.

The soldiers agreed loudly, and Yu Xi laughed and walked over and gave Hou Mi a bear hug.

At this time, there really seemed to be no barrier between the two people, and they witnessed this miracle together, and they also stood side by side in front of the rolling Turkic army.

"You're really back." Hou Mi has a bit of a teasing meaning.

Yu Xi raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this coming back and waiting to collect your body, lest your kid be humiliated by the hands of the Turks." ”

"You're really not a good mouthful." Hou Mi snorted.

Yu Xi smiled and remembered something: "Why did you pour hot water in the first batch?" ”

"There's a lot of wood in the city, can't you use it to boil water?" Hou Mi said lightly.

"Do you think so-and-so will believe you?" Yu Xideng's eyebrows were raised.

"The Turks believe in witch gods the most, so to create a sense of fairyland, naturally so that they can't figure out the reality of the void, and so much water is placed here, if it is not boiled, it will become a bucket of ice slag after a while." Hou Mi said at this time.

"It's fun, it's fun!" Yu Xi nodded, "I'm afraid it will be more difficult for the Turks to attack this time, our reinforcements are less than two days away from here, as long as we can support until tomorrow, everything will be fine." ”

Hou Mi didn't say this in a hurry, this layer of ice covered the city wall, and it might not be easy for the Turks to attack for a while: "The last time the scouts sent over was not only the news that Lingwu had dispatched a large army, but also some battle reports from the Central Plains, after all, he can be regarded as a miscellaneous general of the Han Dynasty, and some things are still qualified to know······"

Speaking of this, Secretary Hou looked at Yu Xi with some hesitation.

Yu Xi smiled unexpectedly: "Maybe you don't know that Chang'an has sent my father's old Shangguan Liang Rui to Xiaoguan, and my Lantian Yu family has become an outcast." So what is the war in the south, what does it have to do with so-and-so now, so-and-so just wants to be able to kill these Turkic barbarians who disturb people and quiet! ”

This time, it was Hou Mi's turn to be surprised, he stared at Yu Xi tightly, and Yu Xi spread his hands indifferently, as if what he just said had nothing to do with him.
