Chapter 135: Night Attack

The flames below the city gradually dissipated, leaving behind a large number of black dust debris that swirled and drifted away in the howling cold wind, and soon disappeared without a trace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

At the head of the city, Liu Xi stood by the mottled battlements, looking into the distance, he could vaguely see that there was a bloody red color between the burnt soil, and unconsciously, his hands were clenched into fists and hit the masonry hard.

"The iron bones are strong, although the body is still there, we and the living should not let General Luo die without turning a blind eye."

A light sigh came from behind, Liu Xi turned his head, and saw Lin Yi, whose eyes were red, walking towards him, accompanied by Dawu, who still had a pale face.

After a busy night of material deployment, Lin Yi, who was very tired, could not rest assured about the war, so he wanted to come and take a look, and happened to meet Dawu who was also worried about the camp, and the two walked together.

On the way, he naturally heard about Luo Shan's death in battle, and couldn't help but sigh, and when he came to the city, he saw Liu Xi sad, and Lin Yi couldn't help but say the previous sentence.

"General Luo, good boy."

Dawu's words were still not much, standing on Liu Xi's side, his already thin body was even more haggard due to his injuries, the cold wind danced his wide robe, and the hunting sound seemed to blow his whole person up.

Nodding, Liu Xi continued in a low voice, "To be honest, I once looked down on General Luo, because he was vain and wronged with Chen Mogu and others, and it was only now that I realized that General Luo just wanted to do his best to protect his subordinates who were like siblings and protect the innocent people of Yangqu City." ”

"Let's finish General Luo's unfinished business!"

After saying this, Lin Yi habitually took off the gourd on his waist and poured it into his mouth, but he didn't see the wine enter his throat, only then did he find that the last pot of Mantang Chun had already been drunk under the all-night hard work, and immediately shook the gourd in his hand with a wry smile on his face, "These days, I have been drinking Mantang Spring all day long, but today I have finished drinking, how will the next few days be?" ”

"Brother Lin, don't worry, when we defeat these Huns, will Yusheng give you a drink?"

Not far away, Xiao Wu, who was talking to someone, saw Dawu, rushed over, heard Lin Yi's words, and couldn't help but respond.

After he stepped forward, Xiao Wu was concerned about Dawu's injury, although he was not at ease, but Dawu insisted that it was okay, so he had to give up, so he said to Liu Xi, "Yusheng, the situation may not be optimistic." ”

The words are full of worry.

Seeing Xiao Wu, who had always been optimistic, Liu Xi immediately said in a hurry, "Tell me more." ”

Luo Shan has always been in charge of military matters, and Liu Xi is not very clear, and Luo Shan's matter is taken over by his lieutenant.

Just now, the man with a dark face and a loyal face like Luo Shan saw Liu Xi talking to Lin Yi and the others, so he didn't dare to come forward to disturb him, and expressed his worries to Xiao Wu.

"The arrows and masonry are okay, the Huns have shot a lot of arrows that can still be used, and the masonry and stone things can also be used locally, but most of the fire oil in the city is exhausted, and the brothers also have a lot of casualties, and there are more than 200 soldiers killed in the battle alone, and more than 500 people are injured......"

Hearing this, Liu Xi's face sank like water, and his brows were instantly twisted together, the Huns were menacing, like insects and ants when attacking the city, Yangqu City was in urgent need of defending equipment, if the fire oil was exhausted, how could he retreat from this dense enemy?

Under the battle, there will be fewer and fewer soldiers available in the city, and it will not be long before you reach a field with no soldiers to defend.

Anxiously, Liu Xi glanced left and right, the canal waves had not yet appeared, and then he sighed secretly, but it was only half a day's work, and even if he was a skilled craftsman, he couldn't make the catapult and the city-guarding crossbow.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Hope turned to Lin Yi, "How long will it take for the people in the city to evacuate?" ”

It was Luo Shan's work to cover the departure of the people, but now that he has left, Lin Yi, who is in charge of logistics, must also know it clearly.

With his red and swollen eyes staring intently, Lin Yi pondered for a moment, "The evacuation of the people in the city only takes tomorrow evening, but the road from the south of Yangqu City to Guantong City is far away, and most of the people are frail, and it will take at least five days to rush to Guantong City, and it will ......"

Speaking of this, Lin Yi squinted at the dense Huns outside the city, "And even if you enter Guantong City, it is not necessarily safe." ”

Yangqu City to the south, to Guantong City all the way to the mountain road, but for the Huns who are good at riding, it is not difficult to catch up.

The seven days calculated by Lin Yi is only the shortest time, so it is necessary to block the Huns outside Yangqu City for more than seven days, so as to seek more life for the people.

It's just that I don't know when the Li Tang court will be able to send reinforcements, after Yangqu City, if the Huns are Lianke Guantong, Huye and other cities, it will be a horse and a flat river, and it will only be a few months before the iron cavalry sweeps the entire Li Tang River.

I hope Jialing can receive the news as soon as possible, otherwise, I really don't know how long it will last.

Feeling very sad in his heart, Liu Xi glanced up at the southeast place, and said a few words of encouragement to the people around him, and then buried his head in the reinforcement and repair of the city wall, after all, this is a matter of life and death.

I don't know why, until sunset, the Huns did not attack, camped ten miles away from the city, the quiet atmosphere makes people feel very weird, like a fierce beast standing not far away, not making a sound, staring at themselves fiercely, such as a man's back stabbing out of cold sweat, such as a fish in the throat stuffy panic.

The night was sprinkled without a breath, and the torches in the sky were spread out under Yangqu City, and as far as the eye could see, it was as if the stars were falling from the thick black clouds.

At the head of the city, Liu Xi was dressed in a night suit, and behind him, more than 20 veterans brought by Xiaowu, Lin Yi and the Scout were all dressed in black and black pants.

"My lord, please let your subordinates go out of the city with those brothers!"

Guo Wei clasped his hands into fists and saluted Liu Xi, his words were full of eagerness, the Rampage Brigade and the Huns had a blood feud, and this night attack did not let them accompany their party, Guo Wei, who heard the news, could still sit still, and immediately hurried to ask for his life.

"Captain Guo, stay in the city to answer, and there must be no more dissenting voices!"

Captain Guo, this is an official position granted by Liu Xi to Guo Wei privately, so that he can command the old department of the Rampage Brigade, at this moment, Guo Wei heard Liu Xi call him like this, how could he not understand that this was a military order, even if he was unwilling, he had to bow down and respond.

"General Xiong, you know what to do, right?"

With a solemn look in his eyes, Xiong Gang took a step forward, "Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Gang waved his hand, and suddenly a group of people walked up with papier-mΓ’chΓ© lanterns, and under the lanterns hung bundles of oiled paper.

Unexpectedly, Kong Ming's lantern was used like this.

Liu Xi said a word secretly in his heart, took a deep breath later, and took the lead to the basket hanging at the head of the city, and took advantage of the darkness to descend on the blood-stained and frozen soil.

In order not to alarm the masters in the Hun camp, Liu Xi had ordered in advance not to use aura, and a group of people ran towards the Hun camp quickly with their foot strength.

At the same time, Xiong Gang, who was standing at the head of the city, stared at the tiger's eyes, and when he saw Liu Xi and the others hiding in the darkness, he said in a deep voice, "Light the fire and put the lights!" ”
