Chapter 128: Confrontation

"Woo......"

The slightly hasty sound of the horn drifted through the city, and soon, the smiles on the faces of the soldiers, who were excited by the victory in the first battle, froze on their faces, and they no longer spoke, and they all grabbed the swords and bows in their hands, tensed their bodies, and stared into the distance without blinking.

It is the end of the barrenness, and it is also the land of thousands of galloping horses.

"Knock knock!"

On the stone steps, heavy footsteps came quickly, and after a while, he saw that Xiong had just come over, and before he could get closer, he opened his mouth and said, "My lord, the Huns are coming!" ”

After not cleaning it for many days, the thick beard became more lush, so that people could not see the look on his face, but the chapped lips were tightly pursed together.

While speaking, Xiong Gang raised his head and looked at the distance again, the sky where the cold and dense clouds converged, and the black shadows of the Dao became clearer and clearer, as if it suddenly came out from the thick clouds covering the sky, although it had not yet reached the feet, but the sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder, majestic, and made people tremble.

Licking his lips, Xiong Gang's sweaty right hand clenched the hilt of the sword, turned his head, and no longer looked at the Huns who were approaching more and more, but looked at Liu Xi, who was standing in front of him with his hands in his hands, staring at Liu Xi who was silent in the distance.

Ahead, thousands of troops and horses galloped in, but at the head of the city, the commander was silent, what a strange scene this is, those soldiers who were listening to the order were all unable to figure out the reason, looking up at the emaciated figure, there were doubts and puzzles in their eyes, but then there would be inexplicable stability in their hearts.

"Brother Wu, this battle, the enemy is outnumbered, and it must be difficult."

"Something, it's worth it."

Dawu's words were as usual, plain and without any emotion, but the bright silver sword that was only suspended in the air and relied only on aura to operate the head of the person was caught in his hand this time.

Seeing this, Liu Xi's previous pride suddenly disappeared, and there was a little more heaviness in his heart, and there was also a depression that made him breathless.

This kind of repression is like a surging wave coming from the sky, tearing Liu Xi into countless pieces.

Taking a deep breath, even if there were thousands of difficulties, Liu Xi couldn't show it, because behind him were many soldiers and thousands of people in Yangqu City, and he couldn't be afraid.

"General Xiong, meet the enemy!"

After a deep voice, Liu Xijian's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were exposed, and he stared at the Huns who were becoming clearer and clearer, while Xiong Gang behind him was in a hurry to make the final arrangements on the city.

A few miles away from the city, the Huns stopped, and the white mist spit out by tens of thousands of horses made it like an ethereal hookah on the cold clear waves.

Not far away, on horseback, the Huns were tall and fierce, with 10,000 people lined up, dense and with no end in sight.

The fine sweat in the palms of his hands was a little more, Liu Xi didn't know when the Huns would attack, the tranquility before the battle was like a thunder mountain hanging in everyone's hearts, and the soldiers on the head of the city all changed their faces, seeing this situation, Liu Xi's eyes subconsciously flashed a trace of worry.

After half a cup of tea, Liu Xi vaguely heard a few words that seemed to be scolding, and later, he saw thousands of Huns divided, galloping horses, galloping towards the city, as if a few black streams blown up by the cold wind, ripples, swinging open the surface of the lake.

It's time to siege the city!

"Whew!"

An arrow flew out and landed crookedly under the city, a mile away from the Huns, but it was released by an old pawn.

"Don't shoot arrows!"

Xiong Gang immediately roared angrily, Yangqu City lacked food and grass, and there were few bows, crossbows and arrows and other tools to defend the city, so they naturally had to be used on the blade.

Perhaps it was the roar of the bear that played a role, and the rest of the people were holding the arrow feathers, waiting for the order to release the arrows, and in this life-and-death struggle, the arm that had been pulling the bow for a long time did not feel soreness at all.

The dust flew between the hooves of the galloping horses, and the earth trembled, and even standing at the head of the city, you could feel the masonry shaking under your feet.

The Huns were getting closer and closer, and soon they were less than a mile away from the city gate, and Xi could even smell the pungent smell of their beef and mutton from eating them for a long time, but he still did not speak, but turned his head to look at Xiong Gang.

When it comes to marching and fighting, even if he is familiar with military books and knows many strategies for arranging formations, Liu Xi can still only talk about troops on paper, and Xiong Gang has just been in and out of the battlefield after several lives and deaths, and handed over to him for command, which is naturally the best choice.

At this moment, Xiong Gang was staring at the Huns moving under the city with a red face and a thick neck, and suddenly, the green tendons on his neck bulged, and he suddenly took the iron tire bow in the hands of his entourage, bent the bow and arrows between lightning and thunder, and roared angrily, "Give me arrows!" ”

After waiting for this voice for a long time, he naturally had no scruples, so when Xiong just gave the order, the soldiers at the head of the city no longer had the previous fear of the Xiongnu in their hearts, and they all shot the arrow towards the enemy who was aimed.

Like a rain of arrows from locusts, the Huns, who were already menacing, kept screaming and falling off their horses, which made the soldiers who had been afraid of the Huns suddenly realized, it turned out that the Huns were not monsters that could not be killed, and immediately the blood in the body boiled, and he raised his hand and shot an arrow towards the enemy.

Under the dense arrows, soon, half of the thousands of Huns fell, but the rest did not have the slightest hint of fear, and still rushed towards the city gate with a roar.

"Ding......

The crisp sound was like fingertips flicking on the silver sword, like the bright light of sparkling autumn water, and the evil appeared out of thin air, and was held in Liu Xi's hand.

"You are the commander of an army, don't act recklessly, or I'll come."

After speaking, Dawu jumped down from the city, although the city won a great victory, but in the face of the attack of the Hun army, whether the first confrontation can be won beautifully, is extremely important to the precarious Yangqu City.

Among the dense arrows, Dawu, who was dressed in plain clothes, was as light as a white butterfly, fluttering, and the branches fell with the wind and flew carelessly in the catkins, and rushed into the Hun cavalry in a few jumps, and the bright silver sword set off the cold light, and under the wave, the blood bloomed.

As soon as Dawu appeared, he couldn't help but frighten the Hun cavalry, and also made the soldiers at the head of the city stunned, I don't know if he was afraid of hurting him or was stunned by the god-killing scene in front of him, and the arrow in his hand grabbed it, but he forgot to shoot it.

The blood on the bright silver sword was like silk, dripping down, and the Hun cavalry who had come back to their senses did not retreat but advanced, pulling the frightened war horse and rushing towards Dawu.

"Brother, I'm here to help you!"

Another figure flew down the city, but it was Xiao Wu who came in a hurry, and before his body landed, he saw the green steel sword flying, sweeping out countless afterimages, and attacked it quickly, taking the lives of several people in a moment.

At the same time, Guo Wei and others in armor also went to the city, and they had a blood feud that had not been shared before, and they looked at the Huns under the city and were eager to rush forward to drink their blood and eat their flesh.

But Liu Xi didn't speak, and at this juncture, Guo Wei and the others naturally didn't dare to act recklessly, so they could only grab the sword in their hands and grit their teeth and stare at the big and small martial brothers who were wantonly fighting among the Huns.

"Woo......"

The horn sounded in the distance, and then, the Huns who were still surrounding the big and small warriors retreated, and suddenly the city burst into earth-shattering cheers.

Although it was only the first attack of the Huns, it was undoubtedly the aftermath for the soldiers defending the city, even if there were still tens of thousands of troops in front of them, but the Huns were defeated twice in one day, and it seems that the Huns were nothing more than that.

In the waves of cheers, Liu Xi even heard bursts of hearty laughter, but as the coach, he couldn't be happy at all. This battle is just beginning, and the prince who captured the Huns, how could the other party give up?

Just now, the thousands of Huns were good at fighting, and they were not chaotic in the face of danger, even if they met the Wu brothers who had the realm of great success, they never retreated half a point, and after retreating, they were even more orderly, and the strength of such soldiers must not be underestimated.

If the tens of thousands of Huns under the city are like this, then how can it be good?

Thinking of this, Liu Xi couldn't help but look at the Wu brothers who were collecting their swords, if they hadn't made a move, the Huns' advance just now would have caused many casualties among the few soldiers defending the city.

Now, he Yangqu City has used the taboo of the world, guarding the city with cultivators, breaking the rules that have existed in the world for thousands of years, whether this is good or bad, Liu Xi doesn't know, but he understands that even if he doesn't make a move, he will resolutely jump down and kill the enemy with a sword.

Just when this inexplicable worry appeared in Liu Xi's heart, in the distance, the Hun army gave way to a road, and a bell sounded one after another, which was faintly difficult to find in the ears and seemed to be ethereal like clouds, but it was like the Spring of Nine Shadows really sounding in his heart.

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......"

The cold wind was howling, but the light bell was through the roar of the north wind, like a naughty child shaking the silver bell hanging at the head of the bed, but in the realm of the corpses of the two armies facing each other, this bell sounded indescribably strange in the ears.

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......"

The bell became clearer and clearer, and in the passage let out by the Huns, a figure slowly walked out, wearing a dark high-horned hat and wrapped in a gray-black jacket.

Walking barefoot without walking on his feet, the sound of the bell came from between his ankles.

The people who came walked very slowly, and they couldn't see his face, and everywhere they passed, the war horses all bowed their heads in fright, even the Huns on horseback did not dare to look up at him.

Under the city, the long swords put away by the big and small generals who were about to jump to the head of the city showed up again, staring at the somewhat rickety figure, concentrating and holding their breath.

The two understood that their battle was about to begin.
