As the Qiang people advanced and retreated, three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

"Alas! If reinforcements don't come, this city will be difficult to defend! Cui Jun stood at the head of the city, looking at the Qiang people who surrounded him again like locusts, with a helpless face.

In terms of hardiness, the Han people were far worse than the Xiongnu and Qiang people.

If it was in the spring and autumn season, Cui Jun was confident that he could resist the attack of the Huns' 100,000 army with more than 10,000 guards, but in this cold winter, Cui Jun finally realized the power of nature.

When the soldiers defending the city could not reach out because of their stiff limbs, the casualties of the Qiang began to decrease sharply, and more and more enemies climbed to the top of the city, and it became more and more difficult to repel the Qiang attack every time.

However, in three days, the defenders in the city were reduced by half, and the Qiang and Huns had more than 10,000 casualties at most.

"Look at it too quickly, these barbarians are going to attack the city again." A military general standing beside Cui Jun pointed to the city and said.

Cui Jun had naturally seen the formation of the Qiang people under the city a long time ago, and even the blood-stained cloud ladder was gradually enlarged in his eyes, and Cui Jun's expression was suddenly dyed with a little sadness.

"Cui Taishou, I'm afraid it's difficult to hold on to Shicheng, if there is no one to source, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid it's ...... today," the military general next to Cui Jun said intermittently.

Cui Jun doesn't know? After three days of fighting, the city wall has long been stained with blood, fortunately it is already winter, although there is a lot of blood, but there is no blood flowing into a river, and the sense of oppression of the defenders at the head of the city is also a little less, but a large number of casualties, so that the defense of the city has become overstretched, maybe this wave of attacks, the city will be broken.

"Cui Taishou, I see, I'll wait for the evacuation of Lishi, and then gather the people of the cities to ......"

"Ridiculous, in such a situation, how can I, Cui Jun, retreat? If I leave and the city gate is breached, even if the Huns change their temperament and are not killing, but if there is no food and grass, the people in the city will inevitably be spared, and now they are only dead, so don't mention the evacuation again. Cui Jun loudly accused his generals that even if he died, he would not leave, the Cui family's infamy was enough, and he Cui Zhouping didn't want to add another plaque of shame to the family.

"As long as the city is not broken, the war will not end. And reinforcements from the lord will come at any time! Cui Jun then began to cheer up.

"No matter what, until the reinforcements arrive, you must hold out until the last moment, even if it turns out to be a different place! I know that everyone is tired, and even desperate when they have lost their confidence, but have you ever thought that your family and relatives are in the city? Don't you want to protect your families and loved ones? If you don't stick to the last moment, you can't give up......" Cui Jun's voice was not loud, but his words were sincere, but he also infected many soldiers, making their morale rise slightly.

"Yes, Lao Tzu is fighting with these Hun dog thieves, and they can't defend their families, what kind of men are they?"

"Fuck, isn't it just dead, it's just a big scar at the mouth of the bowl, eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is still a good man."

"Cui Taishou is right, we are all the people of Lishi, how can we watch our relatives die tragically at the hands of other races. We will defend to the end, waiting for reinforcements to rescue. ”

With the roars of the group, a new round of fighting began again.

And Cui Jun also personally joined the battle.

The emaciated figure gradually aroused more people's desire for victory in the bloody battle.

Time passed slowly, an hour, two hours, gradually sunset in the West Mountain, the Qiang people's attack not only did not stop, but because of the Huns' participation in the war and intensified, the offensive was stronger than before.

"Zhicai, you said there was about to snow?" There was some disbelief in Lu Bu's tone.

Although it is extremely cold at the moment, the sun has been hanging overhead, although it is crumbling, it is shining in the sunset.

"Morning glow rain, sunset sunset." Lu Bu has heard this proverb for decades, and now that the sunset is shining, how can there be heavy snow coming?

"Haha, if there is no snow tomorrow, Zhicai will no longer drink alcohol in this life!" Xi Zhicai laughed out loud and said confidently.

"Oh? Zhicai is so sure? It looks like the time has come! Lu Bu rubbed his hands and said in a low voice.

"Come with me, quickly." Just as the sky was getting dark, and the Qiang and Huns were showing their might on the stone city wall, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from the distant mountain road, and it was getting closer and closer.

When Cui Jun was standing on the city, looking at the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came, the tension in his heart slowly relaxed.

"It's coming, it's finally here. We are saved, and the people who are away from the stone are saved. ”

"You two will attack from the left with five thousand men and horses, and I will attack from the right with three thousand men and horses. Lu Bu instructed the two guards beside him.

"Yes." The second general then led the people away.

"Zhicai, let's accompany a certain family for a walk." Lu Bu glanced at Xi Zhicai, who was wrapped in five or six layers of brocade robes and surrounded by thick armor, and laughed.

"Rush!" After filming Zhicai's crotch and the war horse, and at the same time signaling the nearly 100 people around him to guard it well, Lu Bu Fangtian waved his halberd, clamped the belly of the red horse with his feet, pulled the reins of the horse, and rushed to the enemy on the right first.

Fang Tian painted a halberd in his hand, these Huns and Qiang people who were besieging the city were naturally invincible, three thousand cavalry smashed the Yellow Dragon, and Xi Zhicai, who was surrounded by hundreds of horsemen, was also extremely safe.

"Big leader, it's not good, the Han reinforcements are coming, I don't know how many there are, it's getting late now, or, let's withdraw first." In the Hun camp, Wang Juan said humbly.

"Reinforcements? Whose people? He was stunned and asked.

"Lu Bu's banner is flying, I'm afraid Lu Bu is here with the main force of Bingzhou...... Wang Juan said helplessly.

"Lu Bu? How did he come here? Greedy leaves, they are really not enough to succeed, and they are more than defeated. I'm mad, I'm really angry. "The city that was originally at your fingertips had to be given up because of the appearance of enemy reinforcements, and the entanglement in your heart can be imagined.

"Withdraw! The army can only withdraw first, and wait until tomorrow to find out the results! Qubei was furious, slapped his palm on the table next to him, only to hear a bang, and the whole case was torn apart.

Lu Bu rode his horse and galloped wildly, and countless enemies died in his Fang Tian painting halberd on the way, anyway, when the cold light flashed, blood would splash out.

But in the blink of an eye, that fiery red light became a nightmare for the Huns and Qiang.

Because Lü Bu appeared, the order to retreat was conveyed. Countless siege personnel retreated like a tide.

Leaving the stone city, there were all kinds of cheers, whether it was the people or the soldiers defending the city, they all rejoiced.

The evacuation of the alien race from the siege of the city was like returning to the world from hell for them, and Cui Jun hurriedly took more than 1,000 defenders at the north gate to the city to greet them.

"Cui Jun, I saw the lord, but I didn't expect it to be the lord who came in person." After Cui Jun saw Lu Bu, he bowed down directly.

"The state is polite." Lu Bu waved his hand.

"Let's go to the city." Lu Bu looked at the corpses at the city wall and the plasma frozen with the soil, and his tone was extremely heavy.

Leaving the stone city all night, crying, noisy, and patrolling the army, both soldiers and civilians, were cleaning the corpses in the city, looking for their relatives, and constantly beating and venting their anger at the foreign captives.

At the last moment, the Qiang people had already killed a small group of men and horses in the city, and when they grabbed the city gates, they killed people on sight, and many people who helped defend the city and transport supplies died tragically at their hands.

No one in the city could sleep peacefully that night, and this night, it also snowed the first heavy snow in Xihe this year.

After the night, the city in front of him has taken on a new look, and the entire city is covered with snow, covering the traces of the previous days' fighting.

"Zhicai, I've really calculated it for you, today's snow is not small! If we hadn't entered the city, I'm afraid we would all have been frozen into popsicles, right? Lu Bu looked at the thick snow outside the door and couldn't help but sigh.

The lord laughed, there are briquettes, as long as the camp tent is set up, it is impossible to be frozen. By the way, is there any news about the Huns and Qiang people outside the city? Xi Zhicai first replied with a smile, and then asked.

"They set up camp in a valley thirty miles away. It seems that they haven't given up on leaving Stone City, but in such weather, it is not easy for them to evacuate even if they want to! Lu Bu said with a playful smile.

"Of course, it won't stop there. It is not easy to go through three or four days of painstaking assault and let them give up like this. Of course, they don't give up, and it's also a good time for our army to give the other side a catch, and the heavy snow that fell last night was a good opportunity for us to be sent by God! The corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth curled and said slightly.

"What a clever plan for Zhicai." Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly looked at Xi Zhicai.

"Assault, what's the plan? As soon as the snow stopped, it was time for us to attack. Xi Zhicai spread his hands.

In the valley dozens of miles away from Shicheng, the combined army of the Xiongnu and Qiang people was stationed here at this time.

"Damn, what the hell the weather, it has snowed heavily for two days and two nights, and it hasn't stopped until now, if it goes on like this, if you don't starve to death, Lao Tzu will be frozen to death." One of the patrolling Huns said.

"During the day, we are already lucky, they Qiang people patrol at night, and many people have frozen to death, and they suddenly collapsed while walking, and the corpses are hard and ......."

"No, there is still such a thing, I was frozen to death, I see you blowing nonsense."

"Phew, what are you lying to you, I'm carrying the corpse and throwing it to the back mountain early this morning......"

"Don't say it, be careful of being heard by their Qiang people......" The man who looked like a small leader hurriedly stopped them from continuing.

In the big camp of the Beibei, the generals sat in the tents, their faces were very ugly, and the atmosphere was solemn, which made people panic and uneasy.

"The heavy snow has been falling for two days and two nights in a row, and it has not stopped at this time, we can't stand still like this, if the heavy snow falls for another two days, the soldiers will not starve to death, but will freeze to death." Ugoli was the first to speak.
