After a rush, seeing that the casualties were too large, He Qingping led the army back, never dared to fight again, and began to build solid fortifications, as if he planned to wait for the rest and wait for the change.

Because of the successive wars, although Heyang City is still prosperous, it can be clearly felt that there are fewer men on the streets.

Because of years of fighting, men of appropriate age have gone to the front, and after many call-ups, there are only a few men left.

He Nuo began to think about how to manage his base more effectively, after all, blindly asking for it is not the right way.

Meng Xiaochen analyzed on the side: "Heyang City is rich, unlike the north, as long as there is enough food, no one is willing to rise up. Wang Lie's peasant uprising in the north, this time it was enough for Ning Xianghou to eat a pot. ”

He Nuo sighed, "If you try your best to fish, there will be no fishing next year, but if it goes on like this, Heyang City is really hard to say, after all, the enemy we are facing is too strong, and now to support our army, the consumption is really too great." ”

Meng Xiaochen said seriously: "Heyang has been a battlefield since ancient times, easy to attack and difficult to defend, we have been defending it for so long now, and we have won the hearts of the people, after all, in the final analysis, the people are not willing to fight." Wait until one day, when we unify the world, we will have the opportunity to create a prosperous and prosperous world. ”

He Nuo sighed, looking fascinated.

He Nuo looked at the white clouds floating in the distance, and asked casually: "Why are there not many men left in Heyang City now, but as soon as we are recruited, there are still so many people who are willing to follow us and be born and die." ”

Meng Xiaochen replied with a glance: "Because they believe in us." ”

He Nuo said: "We should also work hard to be worthy of such trust." What do we do next? ”

He Nuo didn't actually want to get an answer, but when he asked like this, there was a person who shared his worries, and his heart would be more comfortable.

Ningxiang Hou only tried his knife, he had already made himself unguardable, the mountains looked up, and He Nuo didn't know how to cross over.

Meng Xiaochen turned his head to look at He Nuo and said, "Ningxianghou is indeed old and spicy, but we are still young, as long as we persist and win, we will always stand on our side." ”

He Nuo nodded, since we took the initiative to attack and lost our troops, we might as well secretly strengthen our strength.

Meng Xiaochen said: "You want to?" ”

He Nuo nodded, "We occupy Heyang City, for a long time, because of the pressure of the war, business has not been opened, but now that we occupy the land of Nanwei, we can fully develop the geographical advantages of Heyang City, relying on the vast land of Nanwei, and truly develop Heyang." ”

Meng Xiaochen said with a smile: "It seems that you plan to use Heyang City as your base and continue to operate it for a long time." ”

He Nuo said: "There is such a piece of land, which is not easy to come by, and the people here believe in us, we must be worthy of this trust." ”

Meng Xiaochen said: "The army of Ningxiang Hou is eyeing the tiger, the strategic location of Beitou Pass in the north is very important, if we don't hold Beitou Pass, then we can't have a stable environment to develop." ”

He Nuo said: "Although Beitou Pass has deep walls and thick walls, sufficient grain and grass, there are 30,000 of our elite soldiers there, and I also plan to allocate 30,000 elite soldiers, a total of 60,000 people to defend the city, which is enough. ”

Meng Xiaochen said: "When we swore to be a teacher, our seven brothers made progress together, and now, our little brother, He Liang, lacks the opportunity to love and practice, I think this is an opportunity to test him." ”

He Nuo's mind came to mind, and the young man with a pure smile and resolute eyes nodded.

......

At the Beitou Gate, He Liang was wearing armor, leaning behind a city wall, seizing the time, raising his head to drink a bowl of water, biting a piece of cake, and seizing the time to replenish his strength.

At this moment, his well-defined face was stained with a lot of dust, and his eyes were full of bloodshots, as if he had changed a different person.

It's just that those big eyes, the eyes are still resolute, and you can still see the old days.

These days, He Qingping commanded the troops to take turns to attack, and he led by example, eating and living in the city, resisting several waves of He Qingping's attacks.

Suddenly, there was another dense sound of war drums. He Liang bounced up like a conditioned reflex, knowing that He Qingping's next round of attacks was on.

He ran around the city walls, kicking and waking up the defenders who had been fighting for days and had fallen asleep between battles.

He Liang saw that He Qingping's forward troops had already entered the range of the bow and crossbow troops, and quickly commanded the troops to shoot in an organized manner.

After several days of onslaught, the female wall at the head of the city had been blasted open.

He Qingping's army is also very combative, and there are already acquaintances who have climbed to the city wall in turn.

He Liang quickly led the death squad to rush up, slashing and slashing, suddenly, he only felt a burst of pain in his shoulder, but he didn't care about it, and after using his life, he finally slashed and killed several enemy soldiers who rushed to the city.

At this time, he took care of his wound and found that he had just been hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but fortunately he was wearing a suit of armor, and the arrow did not penetrate deep into the flesh, so he was not seriously injured.

But at this time, I can't care about so much, there are more than ten ladders on the city, He Qingping is obviously prepared for this attack, the ladder he uses is dedicated to the siege, a section has an iron hook, once it is on the city, it will be hooked, no matter how hard you try it, you can't push it away, compared to the kind of bamboo and wood ladder that has been used several times before, it is obviously a judgment of cloud mud.

When they got to the cloud ladder and took the city, it was obvious that the carefully selected death squad stepped on the long throw and rushed to make room for more people to rush up.

Seeing that more and more troops of He Qingping were pouring into the city, He Liang took a bow and shot arrows, firing ten arrows in a row, and the arrows were not missing.

Seeing this, the surrounding guards couldn't help but boost their morale, and they used bows and crossbows to shoot at the enemy troops who had rushed under the city wall, and some people even picked up sandbags filled with sand and soil to quickly block the original broken women's wall.

He Liang used a strong bow, shot ten arrows in a row, and his arm was slightly painful, when he first accepted this order, he thought that this time to defend the city, for himself, was an excellent opportunity, he followed He Nuo for a long time, taught by word and deed, and also learned a lot, and now, he wants to use this opportunity to gain independent growth.

As the enemy army increased more and more, He Liang saw that his subordinates were a little flustered, and shouted angrily: "What are you panicking about! Shoot with a spear and then with a bow."

Because of this period of time, He Liang's temperament was admired by those soldiers, and his words were very effective, and under his command, organized resistance was formed on Beitou Pass, making it difficult for He Qingping's army to move forward.

Because the defenders have been fighting hard at Beitou Pass for many days, they have already formed a blood debt with the besieging He Qingping army, and they know that once the city is broken, it will definitely be the end of the jade burning.

At this time, seeing He Liang so brave, he shouted to show great momentum, and for a while, He Qingping's army was in a dilemma.
