General Long, can you have the confidence to take the Imperial Capital City? ”

The night breeze was cool, and a figure approached under the dim candlelight, and the man's voice was very soft, but in that softness, there were many things that could not be refused.

"See Your Highness!"

Yue Hu didn't move his eyebrows, Rushan's body instantly fell to his knees, but he didn't say a word about the rest of the words.

"Hehe, Lone asks if you can take the imperial capital?"

The man finally sat down on the handsome chair and slowly turned his head, his face full of playfulness, it was Shaowu Hengyong.

"Your Royal Highness, the imperial capital is high and deep, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the soldiers and people are all ......"

Seeing Shaowu Hengyong's aggressive appearance, Yue Hu sighed slightly in his heart, and suddenly regretted a little, the people of the Shaowu family, one by one is more elusive than the other, he lowered his head and said things word by word.

Yes, not to mention that there are tall city walls, and even if there are none, in the battle of the incense burning platform, many of the brothers under his command also died, not to mention that the soldiers in the city are not necessarily less than the Xiaowu army.

Yue Hu didn't understand it very much, he really didn't understand, what confidence Shaowu Hengyong had to attack the imperial capital with tens of thousands of forbidden troops and hundreds of thousands of people with less than 50,000 Xiaowu troops!

Shaowu Hengyong naturally has his plans, he is waiting, yes, he is waiting, he is waiting for news in the city, whether the imperial capital can be broken or not, in fact, it is just a thought, if it can be successful, no matter how many soldiers and civilians there are in the imperial capital, it is not a problem.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

In the bluestone workshop, it is rare to be peaceful, in the small courtyard of Shaowu Heng'an, it is deserted, there are dozens of lights left to light in the courtyard, in the middle of the lights, there is a person lying quietly, his face is cold, in fact, his eyebrows have never opened.

Silence, like desolation!

A low sobbing voice suddenly sounded, and by the light, a woman, pacing towards it, her face haggard and weak, just like the man who was lying.

"Do you regret it?"

In the courtyard there were two people, one like a dead man, the other like a dead man, and the person who made the sound was obviously not a woman, because when the woman heard it, she almost threw herself down in the center of the lamp.

"Childe, I'm ......"

"That brother of mine should be back!"

The lying man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the starry sky, his eyebrows were a little more complicated, he didn't expect that from beginning to end, he had ignored this brother, maybe from the beginning, he didn't know him.

Gentle, unruly, domineering, he bears all the infamy, but he has never done anything too out of line, even if it is the official imperial history, he can't be too accusatory, under such a face, he has lived for more than ten years, is he tired?

"You'er, you're the one of the 'Heavenly Killing Guards', right?"

Listening to the intermittent choking sound, Shaowu Hengan finally turned his head and looked at You'er with pear blossoms and rain on the side, feeling extremely familiar, as if he had seen her for the first time.

……

"Woo......"

The north wind is bleak, and a small, thin, and staggering figure appears in the eyes of everyone. With his head bowed, he hunched over the ground looking for something. The red sun had just sunk in the west, and there was still a ray of light between heaven and earth, and everyone could see clearly, it was a thin little girl who was only seven or eight years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and seemed to have no strength in her body, shaking and rummaging on the snow-covered ground, holding a sharp tile at the front in her hand.

Shaowu Hengan was almost certain that the little girl must have been looking for those wild vegetables that could barely satisfy her stomach. It was evident from the few grass roots she was holding in her left hand. Shaowu Hengan sighed deeply, the weather is cold, how can there be any wild vegetables?

Shaowu Hengan stood stunned, his eyes moist.

Seeing Shaowu Heng'an suddenly stand still, everyone looked at the little girl blankly, with a sentimental look on his face, and couldn't help but stand with him, thinking that this young master of the Heavenly Family actually had compassion?

Shaowu Hengan sighed and said, "Bring that little girl over." ”

Looking at the girl in front of her. He wore a thin robe that seemed to be an adult's, covered with patches of various colors, which had been cracked in some places, revealing the frozen bruised skin inside, his face was yellow and thin, and the thin one seemed to be able to be blown down by a breeze, and his unkempt hair was yellowish because of long-term malnutrition, and his face was full of dirt, and he couldn't see what it looked like. The only pair of big black and white eyes shrunk as he looked at Shaowu Heng'an, trembling all over.

Shaowu Heng looked at her steadily for a while, then suddenly took off the leather robe on his body and wrapped her up. The little girl took a step back, a panicked look in her eyes.

The attendant behind was taken aback, hurriedly took off the cotton robe on his body, draped it on Shaowu Hengan, and muttered in a low voice, obviously a little puzzled, but he was just a small subordinate, how dare he complain about Shaowu Hengan, but looked at the little girl with some dissatisfaction.

Shaowu Hengan glanced at him coldly, Ling Yi was suddenly shocked, took a step back, and closed his mouth tightly. Shaowu Hengan leaned down and asked the little girl gently, "What's your name?" What about your family, what about your father and your mother? ”

The little girl was wrapped in a leather robe that still carried Shaowu Hengan's body temperature, and she only felt an indescribable warmth all over her body. Hearing Shaowu Heng'an's words asking her, she couldn't help but have red eyes, and whimpered: "Mom and Dad...... They...... Woo woo, it's dead, it's frozen to death, it's starving...... Woowoo woo ......"

“

Shaowu Hengan said gently: "Well, don't cry, when is this?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the little girl's face, not feeling that her face was dirty.

The little girl was touched by his warm hand, and she only felt comfortable for a while, and her mood gradually calmed down, and said, "Yes...... The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, I was so cold that my parents gave me clothes to wear...... Woo woo... Give me everything you need to eat...... Woowoo...... They were sick ...... inherently."

"Oh......"

Shaowu Hengan was stunned for a while and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The little girl sobbed and said, "I...... I don't have a name. ”

After being silent for a long time, Shaowu Hengan let out an "oh", and then said: "Then I'll call you You'er, will you follow me in the future?" I'll keep you fed every day. ”

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then with tears on her face, she sighed and knelt down: "Thank you, young master, for your kindness, I ...... I am willing to be a slave for the young master and serve the young master for the rest of my life. ”

As a young woman, she knew that the young master in front of her was a kind person, and offered to take her in, if she missed this opportunity, she would really starve to death in this ruins.

The guards behind Shaowu Heng'an heard the little girl screaming a few times in a row, and they couldn't help but secretly complain. Girl wow, what is your name, not called the young master, our young master hates this title the most, it seems that you finally have a glimmer of hope, and you are going to bury yourself again!

To everyone's surprise, Shaowu Hengan didn't think it was at all, nodded and smiled. He turned his head and ordered: "You, you take a few people, go with You'er, bury his parents, and make a mark." And you, go to the carriage and bring my snack box. ”

Shaowu Hengan pointed to the two people, and the two agreed and went separately. Especially the first one, I am even more grateful in my heart. Knowing that he had taken off his clothes to the young master just now, Shaowu Hengan quietly asked him to get the snack box, and obviously asked him to put on another piece of clothing.

On the way, Shaowu Hengan naturally took You'er's hand, You'er was very surprised, subconsciously retracted his hand back, then paused, and finally let him lead, the little face suddenly showed a shy and happy sweet smile, the smile as usual, flashed, and soon returned to indifference.

……

The noisy sound sounded in the imperial capital, and it was another sleepless night, at least, it was difficult for the soldiers defending the city to sleep peacefully.

The cold moon is shining, sprinkling a cold silver glow, shining on the cold iron armor, full of coldness. The cold wind at midnight could not dispel the killing spirit of the two armies.

The Xiaowu army lined up around the imperial capital, row by row, column by column, with a serious expression, but not impatient. The impatient had died, and the bloody heads were hanging on the high poles in front of them, making the army walk on thin ice, and the horses were slightly restless and lightly tread on the ground, neighing low, comforting the grass that was also restless.

The wind blows, the flags are hunting, the clothes are fluttering, and the undulating flags on the wilderness are like a colorful ocean. Everyone was staring at the emperor in front of them, with a sense of determination on their faces, this time, Yue Hu ordered that they would take the emperor capital tonight, and they had confidence in Yue Hu.

What Yue Hu wants to do has never been unsuccessful!

The rubble-like clouds floated in, trembling and trembling, as if this Haoyue was also a little afraid of the murderous aura here, and pulled through the clouds to cover his face. There was a moment of darkness in the middle of the day.

At this moment, the horn of the charge sounded, the second watch day had arrived, and the attack had officially begun!

There was no dust as expected, and the cavalry did not launch a charge at the first time, but just cruised on both sides and waited for an opportunity. A column of Xiaowu troops marched forward with shields in hand, and their footsteps were rattling, bringing killing solemnity to heaven and earth.

There are more than 10,000 Xiaowu troops on all sides of the imperial capital, and they are also the infantry of the phalanx. The more than 1,000 Xiaowu troops in front of them were all big shields as high as their hands. The lower part is sharp, and it can be poked to resist the attack of the bow and arrow. Behind the shield, only the helmet eyes were exposed, and the eyes were fierce.

The shield not only protected the body of the Xiaowu army, but also formed a large shield wall at the same time, which completely concealed the movement in the formation. The shield wall was pushed over, and the momentum was vast, and it was clumsy and clever, but faintly, the rumbling sound came. It's like a monster hiding in the ranks of the marching army.

The pace of the Xiaowu army changed from slow to fast, and gradually approached the imperial capital. The imperial capital is still as silent as death, like an empty city! Long Zecheng frowned slightly and looked at the sky, his expression was still leisurely, but his heart was also agitated.

He never thought that Yue Hu wouldn't even give him a chance to buffer, and in the evening, he would start attacking at midnight!

The military situation around him had already reached his ears like a fly, and he was asked to decide. Although the army of the Xiaowu army is covered by a shield wall. But the defenders of Dijing had already erected a tall guard tower, and they had a lot of knowledge of the whereabouts of the Xiaowu army. But sometimes, it's one thing to know how to master, and it's another thing to know how to fight.

Long Zecheng has actually been cheering up the soldiers, but he is worried about the power of the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army, let alone others.

Yue Hu's formation is self-evident, and it is inevitable to win the imperial capital. At the same time, the army from all sides pressed over, which was to cause a psychological shock to the soldiers guarding the imperial capital. The two armies clash and the brave wins. If one party is already afraid, it can't exert 12 points of strength. It's a weak place again, and the result is self-evident.

Long Zecheng was still calm. It depends on confidence, the confidence of the officers and soldiers in him, his confidence in the officers and soldiers, and the confidence of the people of the imperial capital in the defenders of the imperial capital!

He can't panic, at least he has to show this confidence to all the defenders of the Imperial Capital!

"Tell the general, there are about more than 10,000 attacking troops in the west......

"General, there is a ...... of Xiaowu army in the East"

"There is a Xiaowu army ...... due south"

"There is also an attack from the north. More than 10,000 people! ”

"The shield bearer of the Xiaowu Army is in front. The archers covered the siege vehicles in the middle. The Xiaowu army pushed the siege cart forward, loaded with sand and stones. The intention should be to fill the trenches! "It's just that at this moment, there are more than 40,000 Xiaowu troops pouring over from all directions, trying to collapse the imperial capital and raze it to the ground.

Attacking the Imperial City is obviously much easier than attacking the city, and there is no need to prepare too many tools. Besides, Yue Hu did not plan to attack the imperial capital with all his strength at the moment, and was only ready to conquer the outer city first, and then force the imperial capital's troops to shrink.

All the siege tools had to be transported from afar, hindering the march, Yue Hu in order to seek a quick victory, temporarily abandoned it, and only used the simplest one, filling the soil! But in this world, the simplest method is often the most effective. The ravines were vertical and horizontal, and the ambush traps were dense, but Yue Hu only ordered all the siege soldiers to fill the carts and fill the ravines and pits! The soldiers of Great Xia created all kinds of obstacles, just to narrow the space for the battle, so that the Xiaowu army had nowhere to go, and there were soldiers who could not use it, so they tried to reduce the number of enemies!

The camp of the defenders of the imperial capital is like a gourd mouth, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, although the Xiaowu army has many people, but the exchange of troops is always limited, he Yue Hu is going to break this bottleneck now, pounce on a way, and then use heavy troops to hit the defenders of the imperial capital! In the shout, the Xiaowu army finally turned from a gallop to a gallop, the army came from all sides, the dust was flying, the yellow dust suddenly rose on the plain, the car rumbled, and four yellow dragons gathered on all sides, rushed into the air, and rushed towards the emperor with teeth and claws.

For a while, the smoke and dust covered the moon, and the rubble finally blocked the last brilliance, and the Xiaowu army from all directions rushed to the ravine, the shield soldiers dodged, and the siege soldiers' carts flashed out, and they struggled to fill the soil in the dark pit of the ravine.

The impregnable shield wall cracked through the cracks, and the siege soldiers swam out like black snakes. At this time, there was finally movement in the imperial capital, only to hear the sound of the ground crashing, sharp arrows like rain, angrily shooting at the siege soldiers who filled the earth. Countless Xia soldiers had already been ambushed behind the outer base, and when they heard the order, they set up angry arrows to fight back. The siege soldiers lost the protection of the shield hand and fell to the ground one after another, but the follow-up siege soldiers were as endless as ants, struggling to push the cart forward, and sharp arrows flew down.

The deep trench had not yet been filled in by the sand, but it was first filled with the blood of the corpses. There was a shout from the Xiaowu army, and the archers poured out, half-crouching and half-kneeling. The feather arrows shot mercilessly in the direction of the outer base, suppressing the momentum of the archers of the defenders of the imperial capital. Feather arrows shuttled, the sound was terrible, cutting the suffocating space, and the defenders of the imperial capital skillfully used the outer bases and shields to cover up all the geographical advantages, and kept returning the arrows accordingly, in order to inflict the maximum damage on the Xiaowu army with the minimum loss.

Xiaowu Jun also fought for his life, his eyes were red, and he kept advancing. With shields, corpses, and all the cover, step by step. Although the bows and arrows of the imperial army were dense. But the Xiaowu army, which could no longer resist the tide, was finally bulldozed by the Xiaowu army and rushed to the front of the trench.

In the sound of fighting, blood stained the loess, corpses were everywhere, and the shield soldiers stepped forward to poke at the shield wall to resist the feather arrows of the imperial army. The soldiers loaded the cart with everything they could and leaned into the wide ravine. One inch, one minute, the ravine has been filled in an instant, half flat, eight points, for the Xiaowu army to charge forward.

The military drums in the Xiaowu military camp were loud, and Shoushan seemed to tremble. The Xiaowu army attacked at the same time from all sides, and finally broke through the first layer of defense of the imperial army. No one could have imagined that Shaowu Hengyong's first charge was at any cost, but his price was finally rewarded.

The Black Pressed Warriors tightened their attack range. It has begun to climb to the outer base and gap of the imperial army camp. Yue Hu stood far away on the hillock, seeing the tide of his subordinates' attack. He frowned and said, "Your Highness, when do you think we will be able to capture the imperial capital?" ”

"It's coming, it's coming soon......"

Shaowu Hengyong looked into the distance blankly, but his eyes were not on the city wall, his heart had already drifted to the imperial palace, the golden throne, the nine dragon buttons, and the picturesque rivers and mountains.

……

"Hehe, beautiful woman, what can I do...... Cough...... But ......"

In the bluestone workshop, You'er couldn't cry silently, she was just a woman, a woman who had nothing to do with the world, what kind of fighting, fighting, should never be added to her.

Shaowu Heng'an didn't complain about You'er in his heart, everything was meaningless, he knew that his life was coming to an end, everything was going to end, he was still a lot worse than Shaowu Hengyong!

The reason for the untimely understanding is only because of my own soft heart, and if I didn't have my own sympathy, naturally I wouldn't have such a result.

The lights in the courtyard were crumbling in the wind, no one noticed that many of them had been extinguished, the wind in the imperial capital, and the smell of blowing out were a bit of decay and blood, Shaowu Hengan lowered his head, just listening to You'er on the side choked in a low voice, and slowly, Shaowu Hengan closed his eyes again.
