The snow was drifting and the wind was biting. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info stuck to Izumo Castle waiting for help, and did not wait for the expected reinforcements, but there were many more Xia soldiers in the Hu camp.

Because of the existence of the three passes, there is no standing army in the three cities, only a few government soldiers in the city officials, and thousands of auxiliary soldiers in the city to maintain law and order. Not to mention the troops, even the ordnance is not complete. Thanks to the veteran Lu Wenhuan, who returned to the field, he was ordered to take over the city defense and recruit young people in the city. This is the Izumo Castle that has not yet broken under the overwhelming offensive of the Hu people.

"There is no hope for the general." At the head of the castle to the north of Izumo Castle, more than a dozen corpse mountains as high as several zhang have connected the city wall with the outside of the city into a thoroughfare. Several times the Hu cavalry jumped up the city wall along the corpse mountain, and it was only by relying on the soldiers of the whole army that they were not afraid of death that they persevered. The Jingxia reinforcements arrived late, and the soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties, and there was no hope for the defense at all.

"No, there is hope!" The veteran did not look so pessimistic and looked calm.

The general Lu De showed a wry smile, there was no news of the letter asking for help, there was no one in the tens of thousands of new recruits, and the original comrades in the city had begun to set up a formation, and the boundless stone throwers could be seen from the city. If you say that you fight with the Hu people, even if you die, you can also get the title of a good man of the nation. However, against the soldiers who were also Qin people, they had not yet been beaten, and their morale had been completely lost.

"Where is the hope?" Lu De looked over the mountain of corpses below, stopping in front of the mountain naval array below, not finding even the slightest hope.

"Our generation of soldiers, first, cannot open up the territory and expand the territory, and second, cannot defend the territory and protect the country. But it can buy time for the people, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the duty of a soldier. If you keep it for another day, the Hu people should not be able to catch up. The veteran defender of the city also does not report illusions, his hope is that hundreds of thousands of people in the city are safe, with different purposes and different mentalities.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! "The navy of the castle mountain finally began to attack, and the secret catapult threw projectiles into the sky. One of them is facing the head of the city where the veteran is standing.

"General!" Ruud yelled and shoved the veteran away. The huge projectile landed on him, hitting the bluestone wall with a crunching sound, and then bounced high again and rolled down the city. Originally, where Lu De stood, there was only a piece of blood red.

Why did you use the Qin army to attack the city, but it was Murong Guang's plan. The army of millions is like locusts crossing the border, and the materials needed are amazing, and most of the food of the Qin people is grain, and the Hu people, who have eaten meat for a long time, are naturally not used to it. The Hu army, which had lost its humanity, began to eat human flesh.

Because of the attack on the three cities, the cost of captured prisoners was staggering, and most of the people of the three cities fled south. Under the loss of captives, there was no great replenishment, and human flesh began to gradually run out, and the remaining Qin people could no longer be used as a heap city. The Hu people urgently needed to break through the cloud city and open the last gate to Jingxia, and only when they got there could they replenish the consumption of the army.

Use the Qin soldiers to attack the city, and the other party is familiar with the siege equipment of the Xia people. Second, only if these people really have the blood of their own clan on their hands, can they become their real vassals.

Wu Gui, as a general, also has his own plan, and it is not easy for the 30,000 defenders of Shanhaiguan to hold it. Xianbei Murong Guang was ambitious, and he had long believed that as long as he was willing to surrender, he would allow himself to be the general of the Xia clan. He worked hard for Emperor Qin all his life, but in the end he was just a partial general. Even if he knew that the Hu people were cruel, he couldn't resist the great temptation.

Cruelty still has human nature after all, this time the Hu people directly killed people and ate them, and they can no longer be called people. These days, the Hu people, who are short of human flesh, have begun to faintly stare at their own army. I can see it many times out of the camp, Hu Ren staring at the direction of the mountain navy, and his mouth is full of gluttony.

In order to solve the crisis of Hu people's lack of food, Wu Gui automatically asked for war for two purposes. First, to show the combat power of the mountain navy, so that the Hu people really want to unload the mill and kill the donkey, they have to weigh it, and secondly, as long as the cloud city is broken, a large amount of human flesh can be eaten by the Hu people in Jingxia. If you still have your own troops, you will not be able to keep it.

"Put!" The city gate has long been blocked by the defenders, and breaking the gate will not work at all. Wu Gui was determined to throw a rain of stones, beat the defenders of the city, and then pressed forward with the infantry, stepping on those corpse mountains to attack the city.

It's just that he didn't see the sergeant in tears in front of the catapult. Each time it is not a stone projectile that is fired, but their conscience, the conscience of the Qin people. The jackal was beside him, but the weapon in his hand was not aimed at the jackal, but at the brother who defended against the jackal.

or afraid of the cruelty of the Hu people, unwilling to be treated as cattle and sheep, and just want to save their lives; or Murong Guang's promise to this army of high-ranking officials, glory and wealth; Or the Hu people promised to come down and not move the family of this army. The group of soldiers finally chose to stand in opposition to their own people, and the stone bullets came in waves as if they never ended.

"The whole army is in formation, assault." Under the suppression of the rain of stone bullets, a layered sense of waves began to form. The Hu cavalry stationed on both sides also began to coordinate forward pressure. This attack was mostly on foot, but the threat to the city was even greater.

The stone rain continued until the foot soldiers began to climb the mountain of corpses left behind by their compatriots, and then stopped. The veteran laughed three times, "Why should a man be afraid of life and death, and bury my flesh and blood in his hometown." Winter goes to spring, and flowers bloom in beautiful homes. Does anyone care? ”

"I'm here!" "I'm here!"

"With the blood of my generation, exchange it for the mountains and rivers as before, and kill the enemy with me!" Lu Wenhuan had a long knife in his hand, and Yinqi danced, slashing at the mountain and sea troops who had already gone to the city.

"With the blood of our generation, exchange it for the mountains and rivers as before, and kill the enemy with the general." The defenders at the head of the city were scattered and sparsely populated. Many people may have picked up their swords for less than two days, but they could not bear the blood in their chests, strode up, and swooped down violently towards the mountain of corpses.

No one knows what kind of mood the defenders' shouts brought to the Guan Shan army. Regardless of whether it is the mountain navy or the defenders, there is no intention of mercy on their subordinates, the swords and soldiers roar, and the flesh and blood are slashed. There was a chaotic battle on the corpse mountain at the head of the city.

"How, did it work to let you keep this army in the first place, and their families didn't eat it?" Murong Guang looked proud. By this time, the binding power of the major clans on their subordinates began to decline sharply. In order to keep this group of Xia people, it has hurt a lot of brains, but fortunately, this Xia army has finally played a role. You can take Izumo Castle today.

The lower reaches of the barren river have become busy, and many bigwigs in Jingxia have received news that the three northern cities have been captured. Izumo Castle was also in jeopardy, and a large amount of money was sent to the docks and shipped to the south coast.

It's ridiculous that this rotten institution has been able to function, and so far no reinforcements have been sent. Even the evacuation is very ridiculous, the first to be sent to the other side is a large amount of finance, the emperor's palace is not arranged, the emperor does not move, the ministers do not move, let alone ordinary people.

A flotilla of steaming whistles sailed down the river, pulling a white line. In the middle of the fleet, the flag of the First Army of Deserted Summer was flying in the wind. (To be continued.) )
