Outside the city there was another army, and there were no torches yet, judging by the sound, it was a cavalry unit, and there were quite a few of them. This made Qiu Sheng, who had been guarding the city and did not dare to return to the ya, even more afraid.

The army below was very close to the city, almost at the range of the bow and arrow, and seemed to be encamped, but the soldiers did not make a sound, which was extremely rare, not only Qiu Sheng was afraid, but all the people on the city wall raised their hearts, and no one was an exception.

Qiu Sheng said to Zhang Yi: "Zhang Jun Sima, should we release the arrows first and drive away the Hun soldiers under the city, they are too close!" ”

Zhang Yi is a military general in the end, anxious in his heart, but still trying to keep calm, he shook his head and said: "I can't shoot that far, and if we release arrows, maybe it will cause the Huns to fight back, maybe they will attack the city soon, we can delay for a moment, and we must not take the initiative to provoke a battle." ”

Qiu Sheng stomped his feet again and said, "Why don't they light torches, and they can't shoot them, why do you have to do things in the dark!" ”

Even if it's more than a stone's throw from the city wall, it's a fool's errand to light a torch, after all, it's so close that any accident can happen. If someone else's county is beaten, then Qiu Sheng can figure it out, but when it is his turn to besiege the county, he is anxious, always thinking about seeing what the enemy is like, how many people there are, and whether he has siege engines!

Suddenly, a torch lit up in the distance, but only one, a few horses rushed over, far away, someone shouted: "Listen to the people of Lian County, the reinforcements from Fuping have arrived, and the leading general is Li Qin, the next lieutenant of this county, who is the most righteous Li Qin in Li Lang!" ”

The voice of the person who shouted was loud, and he spoke clearly, for fear of misunderstanding, and spoke slowly, so that the people in the city could hear clearly.

Qiu Sheng was surprised and delighted, and said, "Fuping's captain is here, Li Qin?" No, we don't have a captain in Northland County, and we don't even have a county guard, where is the captain? "Faith will be doubtful, and there will be gains and losses.

Zhang Yi said: "It is said that he is the next captain, but who is in office?" Next...... The ......" he leaned onto the battlements and looked downward.

I saw that outside the wide moat, there were a few tall horses, all wearing iron armor, and the style of the iron armor was actually the standard iron armor of the Yulin Army in the capital!

Zhang Yi shouted: "The brothers below, the last general will be Zhang Yi, the military commander of this county, dare to ask which one is Captain Li Qin Li?" ”

Li Qin reined in his horse and looked towards the city, and saw that all the battlements were poking their heads out, and all the people on them were looking at him. He said loudly: "I am Li Qin, not the captain of this county, the documents for the appointment have not yet been issued, and now there is only one position of the military marquis of Fujiaobao, Zhang Junsima is polite!" ”

After a pause, he said again: "I heard that there were Hun soldiers on the border, so I immediately brought troops to help, just because I was camped in the wilderness, in order to ensure safety, so I didn't light the torches, and I hope that Zhang Jun Sima Mo is strange." Dare to ask the county magistrate of your county? ”

Qiu Sheng didn't answer, he scolded Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi understood and shouted: "The county commander of this county is mobilizing soldiers and horses, and has already gathered 10,000 troops, all of whom are ready to go, just waiting for tomorrow to fight to the death with the Huns!" There is one thing I may ask, from Fuping to here, it is not a long journey, we only got the news today, the Huns are coming, why did Li Junhou arrive today? ”

Li Qin snorted and turned around: "They can't believe us, thinking that we are pretending to be Hun soldiers and are here to earn the city gate." ”

Jia Xu and Dian Wei both pursed their lips, and both nodded after a moment. It's no wonder that people don't believe it, if this happened in Fuping, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Li Qin shouted: "This matter is a long story, if you want to explain it clearly, you don't have to rush for a while, now that the military situation is urgent, there is no time to talk about this." I don't know if Zhang Junsima can notify the county commander that our Fujiao army in Fuping is coming, can we support a batch of arrows, or can we also use this to resist the cavalry charge of the Huns! ”

After these words were shouted, there was silence in the city, and no one answered for a long time.

Zhang Yi asked Qiu Sheng in a low voice: "Lord Qiu, it seems that the other party does not seem to be reinforcements, it was sent by the Huns to earn the city gate, do you want to shoot them back?" ”

Qiu Sheng thought about it, he was afraid in his heart, although he had no intention of surrendering, he already had the idea of suing for peace. He shook his head and said: "The Huns are strong, we can only hold on, but if they stay outside the city and don't leave, it will be troublesome." Don't hurt the peace, when they see that they can't come in, let's send some gifts to the past, and beg them to retreat, in case they hurt these people, I'm afraid it will not be easy to ask for peace again. ”

Zhang Yi felt a greasy feeling in his heart, all the soldiers were coming to the city, and he was afraid of hurting the harmony, a civil official is a civil official, and the idea is really inexplicable. He was tired in his heart, but he couldn't refute it, he shouted at Li Qin: "Okay, arrows and thistles and other things, I will send them to you at dawn tomorrow, you go to rest first, let's talk after dawn." ”

Li Qin sighed lightly and said, "It seems that if you want to get support from them, I'm afraid you can't think about it!" ”

Jia Xu said: "Tomorrow at dawn? The war will start as soon as it is dawn, is it too late! ”

Dian Wei said impatiently: "They can't trust us, what else is there to say." Young master, don't waste words with them. ”

Li Qin said: "Forget it, in this case, there is no way to prove our identity, the other party is right not to trust, if you believe it easily, it will be dangerous!" ”

Raising his head, Li Qin said loudly: "Okay, then let's talk about it tomorrow." By the way, the Huns outside were killed by us more than 300 during the day today, although the number is less than 3,000, but the main force is not damaged, so you must not open the city gate, block the city gate with bricks and stones, and wait until we defeat them, and then move away! With that, he beat the horse and left.

In the city, Qiu Sheng stretched his neck, looked at the horsemen who disappeared into the darkness, and said, "How can you listen to what they say, it doesn't look like a Hun soldier?" ”

Zhang Yi thought to himself: "When they are there, you doubt, when they are gone, you suspect again, swaying left and right, it's all your reason!" "I was tired in my heart, but I couldn't make an awkward scene when I was about to fight, so I didn't squeak.

After Li Qin returned to the camp, he called the chiefs of the tun and said: "It seems that it is all up to us, we have to rest tonight, eat at dawn, and attack immediately as soon as the morning dawns, don't wait for the Huns to call, we have to take the initiative to fight over!" ”

The tun commanders agreed one after another and went to instruct the horn soldiers.

The horn soldiers could rest, but no one in the Huns over there could not rest, but became chaotic, and even began to pray, hoping that the sky would light up soon!

Suddenly, in the easternmost part of the camp, there was a terrible scream, ahh

The Huns in the east were all startled, looking in fear in the direction from which the voice came, and a centurion shouted: "Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" ”

The Huns grabbed their bows and arrows, released them at full speed to the east, and shot thousands of arrows in one go, and the night sky was full of swishing sounds! However, after the arrow was fired, the screams became louder!

Someone shouted in the Hun dialect: "Don't let go of the arrows, you have shot the empty bag, ah......"

The outermost perimeter of the camp, guarded by the elite Hun soldiers, after they heard the screams, they were thinking about going over to investigate, a rain of arrows came, the rain of arrows is really overwhelming, regardless of the enemy and me, whoever is within the range will be shot to death!

After this rain of arrows, they actually shot all the empty bags in that direction to death, these empty bags died unjustly, they didn't expect to be attacked by their own people, and they attacked so violently that they could almost be called the full force of the decisive battle between the two armies!

The Huns hurriedly stopped shooting arrows and listened attentively, how could they be in the mood to care about those empty bags now, just hoping that the strange screams would no longer sound!

However, as soon as the rain of arrows stopped, the strange cry sounded again, and after the strange scream, there were even people who laughed, and the laughter was very evil, and someone shouted: "Delicious, really delicious, the meat of the Huns is chewy, and the meat is firm!" ”

Then there was a burst of laughter, all of which were weird!

Some of the Huns could understand both Qiang and Chinese, and they shouted: "Could it be that they are eating people, they are eating people!" ”

The Hun soldiers were even more frightened, terrified, and they all looked at the darkness, and no one dared to go over to look. The centurion had an idea and shouted, "Let go of the rockets, light up the distance, and see how many man-eating demons have come!" ”

The Huns immediately lit the shaft of the arrow and shot it into the darkness, and everyone desperately released the arrow, not seeking to kill and eat people, but to have peace of mind!

But the strange laughter went away, and turned to the north, and the Huns in the north also reacted violently, shouting and firing arrows, and they also began to release rockets, and the empty bags on the periphery were also withdrawn, for fear of being injured by their own people!

Strange laughter, screams, and far away to the west, and the west is chaotic!

Suddenly, a Hun soldier shouted: "Our Gebo witch is doing something, let's all go over, hurry up, stay away from those demons!" ”

The Huns didn't care about anything else, so they mounted their horses, threw their weapons all over the ground, and ran to Liu Shiyi and Gebwu's residence together. A group of people passed, and the others hurried over, and they weren't too scared, but when they saw that others were afraid, they were so scared that they couldn't do it. It doesn't matter how many enemies there are, but in the face of demons, everyone has no choice but to rely on the wizard's method!

Around the bonfire, on the inner and outer three floors, all the Huns were standing, and they were all looking at the innermost Gebo witch. Gargamel, with his hands dancing with sorcery and strange patterns on his face, kept dancing around the fire, and his mouth cried, "O God Almighty, give us light, fight against the evil Fuku, drive away the darkness, and let the evil Fukura and their wizards have nowhere to hide in the light!" ”

The Huns prayed together: "Almighty God, give us light, drive away the evil Fujiao army...... Many pious Hun soldiers even lay on the ground and prayed loudly.

The captives in the camp were also frightened, and they were afraid of demons, but some of the brave people took the opportunity to escape, believing that the evil Fujiao army should only like to eat the Huns, and not necessarily eat them. However, the brave people had just fled to the periphery, and were frightened back by the evil laughter and terrifying screams that came from time to time, compared with the visible Hun soldiers, those invisible demons were even more terrifying!

Gebo Wu is sweating all over his body, he is now riding a tiger is difficult, for his own sake he can only desperately exaggerate the evil of the Fujiao Army, but the more evil and terrifying he said about the Fujiao Army, the more afraid the Hun soldiers are, even Liu Shiyi is too afraid to do it, he has to do things now, praying for the gods to give light.

Geb Wu had no choice but to perform a witchcraft show, he kept jumping, shouting light in his mouth, but in his heart he was looking forward to the sky lighting up soon, no longer bright, he really couldn't hold on!
