The night grew bitter cold, and the torches jumped wildly under the howling north wind, expelling the dark ink from the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"My lord, there are only about 2,000 brothers left who can still fight."

At the battlement at the head of the city, Xiong Gang whispered the results of the investigation just now, and his thick brows were full of worry and anxiety.

There are no arrows, and you can use feather arrows shot by the Huns; There are no garrison equipment, but bricks and stones can be used; Even if you don't have weapons, you can fight the Huns to the death with fists and feet.

But without soldiers, how can this battle continue?

Hearing this, Guo Wei's huge fist on the side smashed on the city wall that was smeared red with blood, "The Huns are pouring out of the nest this time, they must not stop until they reach their goal, Yangqu City is weak, I'm afraid we won't last long." ”

There is a lot of unwillingness in the language, but more of it is helpless.

Liu Xi, who was standing on the side and staring at the Hun camp, naturally heard what they said, and such worries had been lingering in his heart since the Huns came to the city.

Even if he Liu Xi tried his best, it would be difficult to change this already doomed ending, how could he defeat the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu army with thousands of people alone?

Taking a deep breath and exhaling a cloud of white mist, Liu Xi stared into the distance, but said an inexplicable sentence, "The sky is getting colder and colder, and before you know it, it is about to start the year." ”

Hearing this, although Xiong Gang didn't know what Liu Xi meant, he also sighed, "There are five days left, which is the beginning of the year." ”

Nodding, Liu Xi stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the Huns camped under the city, in the distance, the lights were shining in the sky, and it seemed that the stars were falling, so the night sky became gloomy and gloomy.

"After the beginning of the year, the spring flowers bloom, and the grass must be green and red. You see, the trees will spit out green shoots again, and the people who come and go from the ridges will be able to rest in the shade of the trees, talking about the harvest of the fields, or perhaps playing with the toddlers who accompany them......"

Following what Liu Xi pointed out, at first Xiong Gang and Guo Wei both opened their eyes wide, wanting to see what Liu Xi said through the night, but soon, the eyes of the two burly strong men began to turn red.

"My lord, please rest assured, even if there is only one breath left, my subordinates will never let the Huns step on my Yangqu City!"

As long as the people are happy and their bones are broken, they will not give up.

Raising his head, letting the biting cold wind blow on his face, eliminating the anxiety and sorrow in his heart, Liu Xi said softly, "Don't seek fame, but ask for a clear conscience, the two generals, no matter what, must hold on for another four days, at that time the people can be settled, Guantong and other cities are also prepared, we are done, and we will walk with our heads held high." ”

"I would like to hear from you!"

Xiong Gang and Guo Wei clasped their fists and saluted again, and said in unison.

Without speaking again, Liu Xi continued to stare at the Hun camp under the city, his eyes were blazing, as if he wanted to see the actions of the Huns in the camp real.

The cold wind roared like a beast roaring, rolling the banner planted on the head of the city, and as soon as Xiong pulled Guo Wei, the two of them planned to retreat softly and continue to defend the city.

Now, with heavy casualties, it is necessary to plan again in order to withstand the next wave of fierce attacks of the Huns.

"General Xiong, you quickly bring people to fetch water and sprinkle it from the city, remember, you must sprinkle it on the masonry of the city wall!"

Stopping, Xiong Gang had some doubts on his face, "My lord, this is ......"

Without saying much, Liu Xi said in a deep voice, "The Huns will attack the city tonight." ”

Hearing this, Xiong Gang dared to hesitate, handed over the city to Guo Wei, and personally led people to find water.

Soon, the steaming water was brought to the city in buckets, and the soldiers defending the city thought that they had sent them to drink to warm their bodies, but they were ordered to pour the water down the city, and immediately looked at each other for some unknown reasons.

"This water is not boiled, and it will not be able to improve the strength of drinking, but later there will be wine for the brothers, and it will be poured on the city wall with so-and-so!"

The people of Yangqu City were transferred, and when they fled for their lives, how could they carry wine and other things, so Liu Xi collected them early, and he also guarded against the cold at night, but it was a hundred times stronger than charcoal hot water.

Hearing Xiong Gang say this, the soldiers all cheered, and they all picked up the barrels, followed his example, and sprinkled them on the city wall along the bricks and stones.

Suddenly, white mist came down from above, as if besieging the city into a fairyland on earth that mortals could not touch.

Soon, Xiong Gang understood Liu Xi's intentions, the water was sprinkled on the city wall, the cold wind blew, and it formed ice in a moment, attached to the masonry, as if the city wall was covered with a crystal clear armor.

This time, if the Huns want to turn over the city, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Thinking of this, Xiong Gang got dozens of buckets of water, selected those with the best arm strength, and sprinkled the water out of the city.

After doing this, he saw Guo Wei panting and trotting up to the city, hurriedly stepped forward, and leaned into Xiong Gang's ear, "General Xiong, the city gate has been hit by the Huns many times, and the damage is extremely serious, and it can't be repaired tightly." ”

"Shut the gates!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiong just arrived at this sentence, even if the city was attacked by the Huns again and again, if the city gate was broken, the entire Yangqu City would be lost.

If the city gate is blocked, there is no need to be distracted and worry about the safety of the city gate, and Guo Wei and other subordinates can be transferred to the city.

When manpower is stretched, the dozens of people in Guo Wei's rampage brigade and the hundreds of young and strong men are also very crucial.

Hearing this, Guo Wei thought about it for a while, and echoed it, "General Xiong is right, but this matter, do you need to inform the adults?" ”

Looking up at Liu Xi standing at the head of the city, Xiong Gang shook his head, "You and I can solve these things by ourselves, so don't worry about the adults." ”

Guo Wei also glanced at the emaciated figure, then hugged his fists with Xiong Gang, and hurriedly went down to the city.

On the second watch, the wind rose a little faster, blowing on the face, and it hurt more than a knife.

At the head of the city, Xiong Gang held his sword in both arms, his red and swollen eyes did not dare to close, staring at the Hun camp in the distance, and beside him, the soldiers who had worked all day were taking turns to be on duty and resting in an orderly manner.

It is said that it is resting, but in fact, it is also incomprehensible, the sword does not let go of the fall to the ground and dozing, and even more, there are many bricks and stones placed at the feet in advance, if you hear the sound of the enemy's attack, you must not hesitate to open your eyes and throw it downward.

Seeing this, Xiong Gang couldn't help but sigh, these weak soldiers who had run away when they saw the Huns finally became Li Tang's best elite.

I hope they can live.

Sighing, Xiong Gang turned his head to look at the banner waving in the wind, where Liu Xi sat on a red lacquered wooden chair brought from the restaurant, and on one side of the chair was a decoction sent by Wu Shuang'er.

The longer he has known Liu Xi, the more surprised Xiong Gang feels, and at this moment, he doesn't know how to describe this stubborn but world-minded young man.

After a long time, he shook his head and smiled bitterly and said softly, "This is also an outlier among scholars." ”

And these, Liu Xi, who was cross-legged under his knees, closed his eyes and breathed and breathed, naturally couldn't know, standing in the city for a day, boosting the morale of the soldiers, but he couldn't heal his injuries, fortunately, there was still an aura left by a mysterious person in his body, which sorted out the messy breath in his body for him.

At present, while the Huns have not yet attacked the city, seize the time to heal their wounds, and if they can recover a point, they will have more hope of survival.

Silently reciting the auxiliary tips in his mouth, he ran the aura around his body, and soon, his body was shrouded in a faint layer of green, fluorescent glass, like a light flow of water waves.

After a long time, a mouthful of turbid breath was exhaled, Liu Xi opened his eyes, but his brows were still wrinkled, just because the aura in his body seemed to be suppressed by the mountain stone, but it could not flow smoothly, and a strange aura was like a bone appendage, wrapped around the green lotus in the dantian.

It seems to have become an indelible seal.

Somewhat unwilling, Liu Xi closed his eyes again, trying to break through the breath, but no matter how hard he tried, he was always helpless.

Beads of sweat overflowed from his forehead, Liu Xi became more and more pale, and his whole body couldn't stop shaking.

"Your Excellency!"

Huyan Qingshi, who was guarding the side, saw this situation, and immediately panicked and didn't know what to do, and wanted to step forward, but remembered that Liu Xi had told him not to ignore any situation encountered, so he had to stop his outstretched hand and look at the sweat dripping in front of him with worry.

Suddenly, Liu Xi opened his eyes, didn't care to wipe the cold sweat on his head, and hurriedly said, "The Huns are here!" ”
