"Are you coming?"

"Here we are."

"Why is there only one person?"

"I don't know."

From where the sun rises, a ride comes.

The sturdy horses galloped wildly across the endless plains, and the men on horseback wore armor, holding a flag high in their left hand, and a bloody head in their right hand, the flag that was torn by the wind was embroidered with brightly colored thorn flowers, and the sun set on the flag, and at the same time shone on the dead head, and in the distance, the fortress of the Ten Days glowed with a layer of red blood against the setting sun, like a blood-colored fortress.

Along the newly opened farmland, heavy horses' hooves splashed the soil in the field, making an extremely dull "poof" sound.

Riding to the city wall, he raised his eyes to look at the fortress that would never fall, and his cold, dead gaze peeked through the crack in his helmet, and he slowly, slowly raised the head, and threw it at the fortress of the sun, as if he wanted to smash it on the wall. However, he was still three hundred paces away from the wall, and the head made a graceful arc in midair, and then fell lightly below the wall.

The head rolled in the grass like a stone rolling around.

He rode his horse around beneath the city walls, and the horse under him hissed like a monstrous beast, and he just stared coldly at the still-dilapidated fortress. When he had run round the wall, and had trampled the head in the mud, he reined in his horse and ran toward the place from which he had come. From beginning to end, not a word was spoken.

"Oh my God, it's Dongyi."

"They are like locusts, and every place they pass does not grow an inch of grass."

"Whose head is that?"

Fear, boundless fear spread on the uneven city wall like a chainsaw, the civilians and slaves who were repairing the city wall and the arrow tower exclaimed, their faces were full of fear and panic, they had fought with the Xun country, they had been enemies with Qiangqi, and even, they had fought with the rest of the country, and Dayong were enemies, it stands to reason that they should not be so afraid, but the world knows that whether they are enemies with Dayong or Qiangqi, they will not be exterminated tragically, and the Dongyi people are different, they have a blood feud for generations, for hundreds of years, Hatred has been seared into each other's bones, and no matter who wins, there will only be one end for the losing side, and that is bloody slaughter.

Yu Lie stood on the city wall, and beside him stood Zicheyu, Xingluo, and his three retainers, all of whom were wearing armor, but their faces were as gloomy as water.

"Perhaps, that's what they intended."

Yu Lie stared at the head that was blurred by mud and sand, he didn't know who this person was, but he knew that it must be someone from the fortress of the Ten Thousand Days, and it was someone who had been ordered by him to go to the plains to settle in the fields. At this time, as far as the eye can see, the smoke is no longer visible on the long plain, and it is replaced by thick black smoke, which emerges from all directions, like wolf smoke rolling one after another.

Where the wolf smoke rises, there are villages on the plains.

"How did the Dongyi people come here?" The scar on Ziche's eyebrow bone throbbed like a spasm, and the five fingers of the sword opened and closed uncontrollably.

Yu Lie didn't answer, still staring at the head, his eyes as cold as ice.

Xing Luo said: "There must be fraud, the Dongyi people have long been driven into the sea by the Qi State." ”

Ziche Yu said: "If it's not Dongyi people, then who will it be?" ”

"Whoever wants to take this place will have to pay a sufficient price."

At this time, Yu Lie spoke, his voice was cold without any emotion, he looked at his two lieutenants, and ordered: "Immediately recall the people on the plain, regardless of the fortress before and after, the city wall that has not yet been repaired is filled with stones, if there are no stones, then the house will be broken." Also, get ready to fight. With that, he walked briskly under the wall.

Along the way, all the civilians and slaves looked at him, their eyes were chilling, as if they were afraid of the Dongyi people, and as if they were afraid of him, and some people trembled and wanted to ask something, but they never asked. Yu Lie walked through the crowd, followed by a group of armor soldiers, these armor soldiers were his most loyal and brave family warriors, Luo Ying, Luo Feng, and Luo Hou were among them. And Yu Lie certainly knew what the civilians and slaves were thinking, it was nothing more than that the fortress was so dilapidated, how could it resist the crazy and bloodthirsty Dongyi people? Even, they are worried about the villages on the plains, where they may have their relatives.

Yes, the city walls and arrow towers have not been repaired yet, and they can't resist the invasion of the Dongyi people, but Yu Lie knows that the people who come are definitely not the Dongyi people, and the purpose is not to loot, but to occupy. If they occupy this place, then it is the real river of blood, otherwise, how can they attract the attention of Dayong and Qiangqi, and give them enough names to break the covenant?

What should come will always come, life and death are always inevitable.

Yu Lie is half a Yan man, and he is not afraid of war. He went to the bottom of the wall, picked up the filthy head from the mud and grass, wrapped it in a black cloth, and looked up at the dense crowd above the wall. The people on the city wall were also looking at him, and one by one they stretched their necks, like a flock of geese waiting to be slaughtered, and those eyes made people's hearts palpitate.

The sun slowly sank, and the wind blew slowly across the plain, and even the wind was full of bloody and oppressive breath.

After a long time, Luo Ying said in a low voice: "Family master, what should I do now?" The soldiers were accustomed to life and death, and they would not be intimidated by the brutality of the Dongyi people, but civilians and slaves might flee and even cause riots. ”

yes, what to do?

Yu Lie thought to himself, the soldiers have a word, go to the army to fight, then fight, then fight, the enemy is very cunning, under their surprise sneak attack, maybe those villages have been slaughtered, but they are not in a hurry to attack the city, but come to the war letter. This was a vicious move, which caused tens of thousands of civilians and slaves in the fortress to panic, thus burying unknowable hidden dangers, and I was indeed careless. If I hadn't ordered people to go to the Saiwai Tuntian, there would have been no such thing, but if I hadn't been in the Tuntian, how would the soldiers survive? The tall granary was full of corn, but only the outermost sack contained real corn, and the rest was nothing more than sand.

Food, only enough to eat for three months.

Therefore, I had to tuntian.

Now, the enemy has come to fight instead of siege, indicating that they know everything about the situation in the fortress, but I have fallen into passivity.

"Hoof it, hoof it ......"

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him.

Yu Lie turned his head to look, the sunset turned its back and sank, and on the dim yellow horizon came another chariot, it was extremely arrogant and went straight to the place three hundred steps away from Yu Lie, the royal hand grabbed the horse, the archer pulled the bow, and shot an arrow not far in front of Yu Lie, and then, a wanton sneer sounded on the chariot, as always, without saying a word, among them, there was a middle-aged man in armor and sword standing on the left side of the car, squinting at the fortress, and kept pointing, as if he was studying how to break the city, Or, it was just proving to the people on and off the walls that the fortress was nothing more than a treasure for them.

"Kill, kill them."

The civilians and slaves on the city wall were squirming their lips in a low voice, but Tie Chuli's eyes were full of anger, and the green tendons on his neck were beating like green worms, and he couldn't control them, and his throat was so dry that he suddenly shouted: "Kill them all!" ”。 Immediately after, those wriggling lips opened wider and wider, and the voice was like a thunderstorm: "Kill them all, tear them apart!" And the warriors roared, striking their shields with their swords and slamming them with their halberds. The entire fortress was filled with violence and roars, and the high will for revenge was like the raging sea.

"Hahaha......" A sudden laugh rang out, and it was a halberd hand on the chariot.

"Head of the house!" Luo Ying turned his head, his eyes bloodshot, and looked at Yu Lie fixedly.

"Go."

"No!"

Yu Lie gave an order, Luo Ying led dozens of scouts to chase the chariot, the rolling horses' hooves splashed yellow sand and flying, who knows, the chariot turned around, and fled into the distance without looking back. Luo Ying clamped the horse's belly, pulled out the longbow of the same height as a person, "whoosh", the arrow rushed like a meteor, but the chariot had four war horses, the speed was not slow at all, the arrow shot by the eagle fell behind the smoke and dust, and was obliquely inserted into the grass. The chariot went far away, disappearing into the depths of the plains. Luo Ying was not a reckless person, and soon returned on horseback.

However, after this situation took a sharp turn for the worse and chased and fled, the faces of the civilians and slaves on the city wall were already different, and they were no longer as frightened as Fang Cai, their eyes were round, they were panting like oxen, and they were tightly clutching their fists, sticks, and axes, and watched as Yu Lie rode into the fortress, walked up the zigzag staircase, and stood on the arrow battlement of the tall arrow tower.

With the last touch of blood on his head, the young general looked around at the faces, pulled out the sword on the sword bag, and roared: "The world is big, the strong are always strong, and the weak are always weak, but they are just a group of robbers and bandits, why be afraid?" Everyone in the world has a death, today is him, tomorrow is me, he will be you, you and I are not gods, no one knows when and where they will die, but it is definitely not now. I, Feng Qingye swears with blood, and the god Haotian witnesses, Feng Qingye will guard this fortress, protect you, and people and Sai are together! After speaking, the horizontal sword passed through his palm, pulling up a bloody mark.

Blood flowed down the palm of his hand to the cold iron sword, but the crowd was ignited with the blood in their chests.

"The wind is light on the night, the wind is strong."

"General Wind!"

"Nobles, true nobles!"

Suddenly, the blood-colored fortress boiled.

……

The night moon rose, and it hung lonely in the air.

The commotion of the day won the hearts and minds of Yu Lie, and successfully pacified the suppressed cowardice and violence. However, Yu Lie could not sleep at night, he carried a fine-mouthed oil lamp, stood in front of the tattered map of the lord's palace, his brows tightened, in order not to irritate the fragile nerves of the commoners and slaves, he had ordered the tuntian to be stopped, so that there was not much time left for him, only two months.

The enemy, the enemy is hiding somewhere on this map, and since it is coming with great fanfare, it will definitely not go for nothing. Besides, they still have an unknown mission on them, what are they thinking? What is the purpose of today?

Force me to abandon the city and fight once and for all?

No, maybe it's not that simple.
