Sai Yue's cry immediately attracted all the attention of the two, only to see her pale face, beads of sweat holding her abdomen, and she could no longer stand on her feet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yueyue is about to give birth!" Li Sihai bounced up from the ground, with a pig's head on his head, then took Bo Xianyue, gently hugged and put him on the bed, and yelled outside the door: "Hurry up and call Wen Po!" ”

The house was immediately full of chickens and dogs, looking at his sister who was moaning and screaming in pain on the bed, Bo Xian Saiyang wanted to lean over to help, but was pulled by Qin Lei and said softly: "Let's go out." Then he pulled the stupid eldest nephew out of the door.

As soon as the stable woman and the maid arrived, they kicked out the little fat, and a group of women were busy inside.

Seeing that Li Sihai also came out, Bo Xian Saiyang, who was full of anxiety, suddenly became angry and wanted to go up to beat someone again.

Qin Lei had no choice but to hold him again, and said with a wry smile: "Let's wait for the baby to be born and then settle the account." ”

Li Sihai hurriedly got off the donkey and said, "Yes, big brother, let Yue'er concentrate on giving birth to a baby." ”

Bo Xian Saiyang's fist clenched and creaked, and it took a long time before he snorted: "I'll kill you sooner or later!" ”

The three men stood in the courtyard for a while, Qin Lei suddenly felt cold on his forehead, and his heart moved, so he looked up at the sky, and sure enough, when he saw the snowflakes falling silently, he couldn't help clenching his fists, smiled at the two, and said goodbye: "I'll go first, don't forget to inform the child when it's born." Ignoring the little fat man's begging gaze, he walked away quickly.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and when he walked to the door, he saw the snow falling like willows in the sky by the help of the pair of red lanterns, and couldn't help but let out a long roar of excitement, shook off the big coat on his shoulders, and ran to the street like a joy, holding his hands to the sky, feeling the coldness of the snow's cheeks, and laughing: "God is beautiful!" Tongguan is saved! ”

Seeing that someone was crazy, the soldiers on the night patrol came to arrest him, but when they saw the expressionless black-clothed guards around him, they quickly changed their posture, and while secretly speaking, they kowtowed: "Meet the prince." ”

Qin Lei laughed and walked away.

On the ancient city of Tongguan, his joyful and loud voice echoed: "Pass it on, and hold on to it for the last day!" We'll be out of danger! With the spread of this sentence, the despair and frustration in the city were swept away again, although the battle will be more tragic tomorrow, but we can finally see hope, right?

There is a saying that a few families are happy and a few are sad, this night, Zhao Wuyi slept very unsteadily, and got up several times at night, only asking the guards the same sentence: "It didn't snow, right?" ”

When he heard the negative answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and lay down to sleep for a while. But after only half an hour, he would wake up from his sleep and ask repeatedly, "It's not snowing, is it?" This was repeated five or six times, and finally in the middle of the night, when he asked the question again, he received a positive reply from his own soldiers: "Dashuai, it is really snowing this time." ”

"Is it big?" Zhao Wuyi's voice immediately became hoarse.

"It's big, like salt." The soldier replied respectfully.

Zhao Wuyi was silent anymore, and it wasn't until about three o'clock in the ugly hour that the soldiers heard the sound of Suo Suo's armor hanging in the tent, and when they went in to take a look, they saw that Lao Zhao was wearing armor on his body. The new captain of the pro-soldier hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said softly: "Dashuai, don't sleep any longer?" ”

Zhao Wuyi's old face was gloomy as water, and he didn't answer his question, but ordered directly: "Pass the order, the whole army will make food at the time and attack the city at the time, there must be no mistake!" ”

With Baisheng Gong's order, the quiet Qi army camp immediately began to be lively, the firehead army set up a cauldron, added firewood, lit a fire with great difficulty, smashed the ice in the bucket, poured water with ice ballast into the cauldron, ready to boil water and cook rice. From time to time, you can hear their voices talking: "It's much colder today than yesterday." "yes, I didn't have that thick ice yesterday." "Today's siege is going to be a sin......"

At the same time, all the generals above the staff were called to the handsome tent, and the Baisheng Gong in military uniform was full of slaughter, and there was no longer any weight like the past. His eyes were like knives, and he looked coldly at the generals standing at the bottom of the stairs, so that everyone could feel his strong will.

"Today's siege must be decided by a battle, if you haven't established a foothold on the city wall before dark, you have to blame the old man for being ruthless!" Zhao Wuyi's pale beard was windless, the sword in his waist was suddenly unsheathed, and with a flash of cold light, he cut off the corner of the big case in front of him, and said coldly: "This big case is an example!" ”

This is an ultimatum! The generals were all shocked, and no one dared to make a noise for a while.

"Did you hear me?" Zhao Wuyi's cold gaze looked around everyone, and everyone felt as if they were being targeted by a fierce beast, so they all nodded busily, and said gossipingly: "Hear clearly......"

"The old man can't hear me." Zhao Wuyi said in a deep voice.

"Hear me clearly!" Then everyone shouted in unison.

"Go ahead." Zhao Wuji's expression softened at this time, and after seeing the generals go out, he said in a low voice: "Please, everyone......"

The movement of the Qi army was soon learned of in the city, and Qin Lei hurriedly ordered his subordinates to start cooking as well, and also distributed the last batch of spirits for the soldiers to keep out the cold during the day.

Qin Lei patrolled the city with his hands in his hands, and saw that Shi Meng couldn't wait to start drinking, so he scolded with a smile: "Don't drink now, if you get drunk, who will fight Lao Tzu?" ”

"I've got a lot of alcohol." Shi Meng grinned nonchalantly. When the soldiers on the side heard this, they coaxed: "Lord Wang, don't you know yet, sister-in-law Shi has finally given birth to a son for our adults!" ”

"Okay, boy, I finally gave birth to a handle!" Qin Lei was interested when he heard this, and rushed Shi Meng to the side with his foot, sat on a military blanket with him, and smiled happily: "I'll just say that it's just three things." "It is said that over the years, Zhuang Die'er's stomach has not been idle, and she has given birth to two daughters in a row, and she was named Zhaodi and Yindi by Shi Meng, and its purpose is self-evident.

Shi Meng grinned and said, "Yes, what the prince said is absolutely right. ”

As a result, the man served a bowl of meat soup and a roll of flatbread, and Qin Lei 'snorted' and said, "When did you receive the letter?" ”

"I think it arrived the day before yesterday, but someone sent it last night." Shi Meng also took a bowl and poured it into his stomach happily, and said vaguely while smacking: "It is said that he was born on the ninth day of October, and he looks like me." ”

Seeing his happy face, Qin Lei said with envy: "Look at your appearance, is the child famous?" ”

"I've thought about it, and the name of the milk is called the lock post." As he spoke, he groped for a red cloth bag from his arms, glanced at it lovingly, and said, "The longevity locks are ready." As if he was afraid of running away from the aura, he took back the cloth bag and smiled at Qin Lei: "If you have a large number, please ask the prince to give one." ”

"Yes," Qin Lei smiled, "But let me think about it first." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry," Shi Meng shook his head again and again: "This is the eldest son of my Shi family, the prince has to think of a better one." ”

Qin Lei nodded, ate what he was holding in three or two bites, patted his chest vigorously, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Today's battle must be extremely fierce, you must be careful." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, I can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, and I don't even have a scar on my body." Shi Meng smiled nonchalantly: "The knives and guns are all hiding from me." ”

Seeing him get carried away, Qin Lei felt uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to say in a deep voice: "For the sake of your family, I have to look long." ”

"Got it." Shi Meng still smiled.

In the castle guard's mansion, the people who had been waiting for nearly two hours finally heard a loud baby cry.

"Congratulations, my lord, I am happy to have a noble son!" The maid ran out to report the good news.

"I'm a father, I have a son......" Li Sihai was suddenly stupid, and hugged his eldest brother and kissed and screamed regardless of life or death.

Bo Xiang Saiyang stretched out his hand to pick it off, and after pushing it out for a distance, he said in a deep voice: "Go and have a look." Although his expression was still gloomy, his voice was noticeably relaxed.

Li Sihai nodded happily and said, "Big brother, let's go together!" ”

Bo Xian Saiyang was quite moved, but finally shook his head and said, "Don't look, it's time to fight." With that, he turned and walked out.

"I'll go to town later." Li Sihai hurriedly said.

"You don't want to go." Bo Xian Saiyang stood still, turned around and said in a deep voice: "I don't want my nephew to be born without a father. As he spoke, he walked out without looking back.

Leave only a series of shallow footprints on the snow.

The heavy snow was falling silently, and it had already dyed the heavens and the earth into a piece of plain silver, but it still couldn't stop the bloody battle between the world.

The light of day brightened slightly, and the Qi army launched a new offensive......

"Everyone, today we will take Tongguan City." The generals were hoarse and encouraged the Qi soldiers to line up.

"Now the Qin army has suffered heavy losses and is exhausted, the soldiers have no rest, no supplies to replenish, and no food to eat! On the other hand, we have high morale, sufficient physical strength, and an absolute advantage in numbers! If you don't take the opportunity to take Tongguan today, you can simply crash to death on the city wall. "This is a matter of fact.

"Brothers, as long as you attack the city wall, you will be rewarded with a hundred yuan and the official will be promoted to one level! Those who occupy the city wall will not be rewarded with 800 yuan, and the official will be promoted to three levels! "It's a naked lure.

"Let me tell you, if you can't attack the east city wall today, Lao Tzu will be beheaded by the marshal! But don't worry, before that, Lao Tzu will cut off your heads first! "This is an outright threat.

The generals tried their best to finally arouse the vigor of the officers and men, and the officers and men were gearing up, their eyes were firm, and they no longer saw the fatigue that they had just woken up.

A flaming red golden lion banner moved from the end of the formation to the front of the formation, and under its banner was the marshal chariot of Yum Gong. He held the railing of the carriage in one hand and the sword at his waist in the other, and the soldiers along the way looked up to Marshal Yum with reverence, and he also looked back at them with the most solemn eyes.

Looking at the long and mighty formation, Zhao Wuyi couldn't help but feel full of pride, suddenly drew out his long sword, held it high above the top, and roared like a lion: "Daqi for me, kill ......"

The soldiers around him followed him closely, holding their weapons aloft in unison, raising their arms and shouting, "Kill ......"

The soldiers farther away heard it, and all the soldiers heard it, and one by one they looked excited, raised their arms and shouted, "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

The sound of shouting and killing soared into the sky, shocking the sky, and the Qi army slowly approached the city wall.

Qin Lei didn't seem to hear the shouts of Qi Jun, he stood on the watchtower with an expressionless face, motionless like a mountain!

Infected by the commander, the soldiers also calmed down, silently looking at the approaching enemy troops.

The two sides are five hundred paces apart. The Qi army began to reorganize and transform into a siege formation, and the ladders, goose carts and other equipment were pushed to the front of the formation, and the soldiers in the front row had to get out of the way, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

The soldiers of the Qin army stood neatly on the city tower, watching the movement of the enemy army, ready to enter the battle at any time.

At the moment when the Qi army was in chaos, Qin Lei slowly pulled out the treasure knife at his waist and suddenly raised it above the top.

Suddenly, eighteen war drums sounded at the same time, and the 40,000 troops in the city shouted a roar almost at the same time: "Whew...... Ha ...... "If the earth shakes the mountains, if the sky collapses and the earth cracks!"

This roar came so suddenly, so fiercely, so thick, so huge, and swept everything in heaven and earth in an instant.

"Whew! Ha! ”

The roar of tens of thousands of people is enough to make the blood of the most ordinary soldier boil, no longer afraid, no longer retreating, no longer afraid of death, even in the face of an enemy several times larger than himself.

The Qi soldiers were stunned. The roar seemed to shatter them all, and it was a huge blow to their self-confidence.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, and the soldiers still pushed the siege equipment, and the tide generally poured into the Tongguan city wall.

Today's battle was undoubtedly brutal, because of the snow, although the Qin army wrapped the bow and crossbow in a cotton jacket, all the bowstrings became very weak, and the barely fired bow and arrow had neither strength nor accuracy, and could not cause damage to the enemy at all......

Fortunately, the bows and arrows in the enemy tower are still effective, but the lethality is also reduced a lot, even the sharpest feather arrows can't break through the mountain armor of the Qi army officers, and can only cause damage to ordinary soldiers.

Only the huge catapult was unaffected, projecting stones all over the sky, which could still smash the Qi army into mud regardless of whether it was high or low.

But the Qi army was overwhelming, and only twenty catapults were just a drop in the bucket.

The difficulty of leaning on the city wall was much lower than usual, and the Qi army set up all kinds of ladders, and then climbed up with a roar, and changed the color of the city wall in a blink of an eye!

The Qin army had been waiting for a long time, and although the arrows were ineffective, the rolling stone and wood and the boiling oil spear were still effective. They splashed boiling oil, smashed stones, rolled with wood, and stabbed with spears, causing great losses to the Qi army.

But after yesterday's baptism, the soldiers of the Qi army also have experience, the first soldiers hold thick leather shields, although they still can't resist the stones and wood, but at least they are not afraid of boiling oil spears.

After suffering the initial heavy casualties, some of the lucky Qi troops had already jumped on the battlements and killed the walls. Hand-to-hand combat inevitably began, and the soldiers of the Qin army brandished swords and spears to drive a wave of enemies off the city, but helplessly, there were more and more enemies climbing up to the city, and the battle became more and more fierce...... Snowflakes are flying in the air, blood is splashing in the air, and the entire Tongguan has become a Shura field!

The campaign entered its most tragic phase. The soldiers of the Qin army smashed down huge stones and fanged trees one by one, row by row, and under this huge impact, those who touched it were knocked away, and the hands and feet of the light ones were broken, and the heavy ones were killed, and no one was spared!

The city walls were already covered with the corpses of the Qi army, and the wails of the undead were mixed with the sound of fighting, which was particularly terrifying.

The soldiers who climbed the city wall were almost all scalded by the boiling water and hot oil, but they still rushed upwards like crazy and fought with the Qin army.

After yesterday's battle, Qin Ji was promoted to captain, leading a thousand elites, wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades, specifically to greet the enemy troops who rushed to the city. Since the morning, they have repelled at least a dozen attacks by the Qi army, but the offensive of the Qi army has become more and more ferocious, and they have faced more and more enemies each time.

And the number of soldiers under his command is getting smaller and smaller......

Seeing that the Qi army rushed up again, Qin Ji waved the Tang knife in his hand expressionlessly and rushed forward first. An enemy raised his gun to meet him, he didn't dodge or dodge, he directly rounded the Tang knife and slashed down, easily the soldier's gun shaft was cut off, and he was disemboweled!

Suddenly, his hand tightened, but the soldier was extremely brave, and he actually let go of the two barrels of the gun and grabbed Qin Ji's long knife with both hands.

He sneered in his heart, and with a flick of his wrist, the blade stood up, directly cutting off the man's fingers. Just as he was about to draw his sword, he saw a spear on each side pierce him, piercing him in both ribs. Qin Ji hurriedly let go, jumped backwards with all his strength, and at the same time made an iron plate bridge, and fell to the ground hard, only then did he dodge the fatal two shots.

But the two Qi soldiers didn't intend to let him go, they saw that the handle of their guns shook, and they poked at the ground, Qin Ji had already fallen to the ground, and he lost his instincts for a while, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death.

At this critical moment, he heard a loud roar behind him, and an iron rod with a thick bowl mouth and a length of nine feet swept over, smashing the two Qi soldiers with guns at the waist, which relieved him.

When Qin Ji opened his eyes, he saw that the man was standing in front of him like a small mountain, resisting the fierce attacks of the enemy army for him.

It turned out to be Qiuqiu. Qin Ji smiled from the bottom of his heart, and at this time, his body also regained consciousness, so he casually picked up a sword and got up to fight against him together.

Qin Ba, who was not far away, had been promoted to battalion deputy, with two thousand people, but he was doing the same errands as Qin Ji. His position was the enemy's army, and the pressure was even greater, not to mention others, even he himself had been wounded several times, and only his left hand had his thumb left, but he didn't know it, and he was still wielding his long knife while shouting: "Kill the enemy!" Fight the enemy! "There is only one thought in my heart, and that is to kill the enemy from the tower!

Although the soldiers had just belonged to him, they were inspired by the battalion deputy who took the lead, and they were fearless and courageous, and fought hard against the enemy under his leadership!

Although Bo Xian Saiyang had been promoted to lieutenant colonel, he rushed in and out of the city wall like a madman, and went wherever there was danger, and in one morning, the mace in his hand resulted in two or three hundred lives.

This murderer-like fierce general naturally became the target of the Qi army's key attack, and the Qi army's master generals stepped forward in turn, and finally exhausted him, so he looked at the air and kicked him to the ground.

The five Qi soldiers stared at the blood-red eyes, raised their blades and slashed. At the moment of crisis, Bo Xianyang burst out with terrifying power, he roared, swept the mace with one hand, and directly slapped the three Qi soldiers on the left side violently.

The other hand grabbed the ankle of a Qi soldier on the right, shook his hand and dragged him down, and the blade in that man's hand was naturally inaccurate.

But the tiger couldn't stand the wolves, and there was a big knife that couldn't stop it, and it came straight to his neck.

There is no way to avoid it!
