After cheering and excited, the grassland coalition army in the distance was only finished. Although the soldiers are excited, war and death are still inevitably approaching.

The cheers of the soldiers of the Chu army at the head of the city, the ruthlessness of the barbarians in the grassland below the city, the hope and cruelty, all blended with each other around Shangyuan City like this, and the atmosphere was strange.

Lee relied on himself as a pikeman. This Xuan was still standing at the front of the city, holding a spear and a spear erected two ends higher than him, and seemed to have a certain funny and cruel taste to look at the approaching grassland coalition army under the city. The momentum of no return brought him great pressure, and sweat continued to ooze from his palms. It made him wonder if he couldn't even hold the spear in his hand.

Subconsciously, Li Wei turned his head to look behind.

Not far behind Li, under the protection of more than a dozen shield bearers, the young man, who was not much older than him, was just like him, watching the Qiu Clan army under the city approaching

Scenery.

But it's different from Lee. This seemingly weak and elegant teenager who would never seem to have anything to do with blood, war, and cruelty should be surrounded by countless Venerable Masters in the middle of the literati gathering, attracting the attention of the world. The young man who responded gracefully was so calm and composed, as if he was just an outsider, looking at a scene that had nothing to do with him.

Only the slight frowning brow, the prudence in his eyes, made people understand his concern about the situation of this force.

Li Liang is very clear. His performance at the moment is too different from that of this teenager. But Li Liang didn't feel ashamed and depressed, because he also understood that he really couldn't compare with this young man named Xiao Mo. Although it is rumored that Xiao Mo is only two years older than him.

You must know that when Xiao Mo was at his age, he was already a member of the Chu Dynasty's literary circle sought after by countless people, and now, at the age of eighteen, he is already a member of the court from the fifth grade, taking charge of all the affairs of the front line, and a little trick can cause countless losses to the enemy.

Li relied on the clear memory that before, in the day, at the same time, in the same scene, he was even more nervous than today. It was this fairy-like figure who suddenly walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him: "The steppe barbarians are also people, as long as they are people, they can be killed with guns and arrows." He said to him, "You can only live if you kill your enemies."

The indifferent temperament between the words made Chi feel at ease.

And that's just a few words. It also completely subverted Li Shun's sense of Xiao Mo, from the original immortal who was far above the clouds, to a wise and self-conscious immortal, although he was just as high, he was no longer out of reach, close to him, making people close to him.

Therefore, when the fire broke out at the head of Shangyuan City yesterday, he was one of the few soldiers who did not flee, although he was still flustered. Although he just did nothing by hiding under the battlements in a panic, he was at least much better than the sergeants who fled down the city in a hurry, because he felt that he should not live up to the trust of this young man named Xiao Mo.

It seems that because of this. Li Yi was nervous and overwhelmed. will always subconsciously look at Xiao Mo, and it seems that he can find some stability and confidence in Xiao Mo's calm and almost indifferent expression.

Li Yi didn't understand the various changes in today's war situation, but subconsciously felt that today's battle might be more cruel than in the past, not only because of the absence of all obstacles under the city, but also because of the bloodthirsty momentum of the Qiu army, and because of the radical changes in the comrades around him.

Li Liang may only be sixteen years old, but it is just "maybe", the children of poor families do not have the right to be born, and their parents died early, so it is just "maybe." He himself wasn't sure that he was just a big child, and he hadn't felt the pain of the military household, and he didn't understand what the content that Xiao Mo read out just now really meant, but the changes in the comrades around him made him strange.

On the left side of Li Yi. It is Zhang Niuzhuang, who is also a pikeman, although his name is very imposing, but in fact he is just a thin middle-aged man Yesterday, when the Qiu clan was attacking, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately dropped the weapon in his hand and fled from the city, and disappeared in an instant.

But at this time, this thin Zhang Niuzhuang was holding the spear that he had discarded at will, gritting his teeth and looking at the approaching Qiu army in the distance, with a low sound of humming in his throat, like a beast looking for food, which made Li Wu feel strange.

On the right side of Li is another uncle and uncle, named Xu Ming, who is a very wise man, according to the words of the lieutenant, he is a veteran soldier, but he is a very good person, and he has always taken good care of Li Liang, and has taught Li Wei a lot of experience in saving his life on the battlefield, and these experiences. It can be summed up in one sentence: "Once you find danger, turn around and run immediately, don't hesitate at all, and run where there are many people." Because other people around you will help you resist attacks",

But at this time, this veteran soldier has a firm expression, and his eyes that flashed in the past are no longer there, but are full of murderous energy. The body trembled slightly, not from fear, but from excitement.

In addition, there are many, many familiar or unfamiliar faces, all of which make Li Hu feel unfamiliar.

This Chu army seems to be completely different from not long ago.

"In this battle of Shangyuan City, whether it is the battle of the defenders or the transportation of auxiliary troops, a total of 100,000 soldiers, as long as they can resist the strong attack of the grassland coalition army, hold on for 20 days, and wait for the day when our Korean reinforcements arrive, they can leave the military family, and they will be rewarded with 30 yuan for their civilian status. Those who have made meritorious deeds will be promoted to official positions by the officials. If you unfortunately die in battle, your children can also leave the military household status and be raised by the imperial court!! small

couldn't help but think of what Xiao Mo said not long ago, and his heart became more and more confused.

The sentence "You can break away from the military family" has such a magic power, which can change the mentality and thoughts of countless soldiers in just a cup of tea?

Thinking of this, Li Wei became more and more puzzled, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Mo again.

In the rear, Xiao Mo was still cold.

However, Li Lean's distraction was "Captain Gu found the whip on Li Lean's body and shouted loudly!" "Don't get distracted in the big war!!"

The whip was hot and painful on the body. But as a military family, Li Wei has long been familiar with this feeling, but he is still strange in his heart. Why is the patrol captain so much harsher than before? In the past, they had only moved the whip when the silver rebounded, and there seemed to be something different in the shouting?

Hurriedly turning around, Li Hu found out. His movement here seemed to attract Xiao Mo's attention, and Xiao Mo turned his head to look here. His brow furrowed even tighter, but he didn't say anything.

Not daring to think about it, Li Wei continued to pick up the spear that was much longer than his body, and continued to look at the approaching Qiu clan army in the distance. The effect of the phrase "breaking away from the identity of a military household" is more useful than Xiao Mo imagined. The look and temperament of the surrounding sergeants. In just a short cup of tea. It's completely different from the past, and it's like two people.

It seems that a group of lambs suddenly turned into tigers and wolves, and it seems that a group of puppets suddenly have a living soul.

People who are not from a military household. It is impossible to understand the strong desire of these soldiers to leave the military household, and they can give everything to achieve such a goal, if only for future generations to achieve this goal!!

The morale of the Chu army was low before. It's just because there is nothing they think is worth protecting, and now, Xiao Mo has delivered this thing to them.

It was a hope for the future.

Although Xiao Mo was pleasantly surprised by the morale boost and the bloody return, this did not mean that Xiao Mo had an optimistic tendency towards the next battle.

At this time, the change of the Chu army only represents the same starting point for the morale of both sides of the enemy, but the gap in strength between the two sides and the threat of siege ballistae still objectively exists.

"I hope that strategy can be successful" In this way, the pressure on Shangyuan City will be reduced a lot in the future."

Xiao Mo thought secretly.

At this moment, Xiao Mo couldn't do more, and only hoped that the sergeants under his command could help him hold the first few days.

"Ballista ready!!"

"Archer ready!!"

"Catapult ready!!"

Finally, as the Qiu Clan's army continued to approach, a group of low-level generals shouted all kinds of orders one after another.

After hearing the order, Li Shun hurriedly retreated with a group of pikemen, and their original positions were filled by archers.

The pikemen, although important, were before the Autumn Army landed in the city. Seeing the tense situation, Li Liang was a little chaotic, he only knew how to obey the orders of the army, and he didn't know what he should do for a while, and he watched the war in front of him blankly, as if he had become a bystander, a puppet-like machine.

Watching the army of the Qiu clan dismount one after another outside the land of three arrows in Shangyuan City, turning into infantry, holding wooden shields, raising sabers, and supporting a large number of cloud ladders to hit the wood, the sound of killing was loud, and when they rushed towards Shangyuan City, although they were far away from the land of three arrows. Li Lean's heart couldn't help but rise.

Behind a group of crazy Qiu clan warriors, several siege ballistae were still slowly thinking about following, and beside them, the porters were pushing a large number of boulders and sealed oil canisters, like a behemoth, which could launch a thunderous blow to Shangyuan City at any time.

After a night of repairs, the siege ballistae that the Qiu army could use again reached as many as four, and a day earlier, it was these siege ballistae that destroyed the morale of the Shangyuan defenders in just a few moments.

At this time, in the face of the reappearance of the siege ballista, the faces of the soldiers of the Chu army may still be panicked, but more of them are determined.

"Ballista!! Attack!! ”

"Archers!! Burst!! ”

As the order was handed down, dozens of huge arrows roared out, breaking through the air and shooting towards the siege crossbow carts in the distance, causing chaos in the autumn army.

However, in successive repressions. The four siege crossbow carts still found their attack position, and the surrounding ballista soldiers and porters were in a hurry, thinking of the power of these siege crossbow paints yesterday, Li Wu became more and more nervous.

Meanwhile. Countless Qiu troops have come to the land of a stone's throw outside Shangyuan City, as the order was handed down, the archers began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, and the dense arrows fell on the heads of the Qiu soldiers like a torrential rain, and then, the catapult also began to start continuously, constantly throwing gravel and boulders into the air, killing and injuring a large number of Qiu warriors, attacking the various cloud ladders carried by the Qiu warriors and hitting the wood.

Under Shangyuan City, with the suppression of the Chu army, in the crazy shouting and killing sound of the earth-shattering, there were occasional screams at the beginning.

However. Under the suppression of the Chu army's frantic attack, the Qiu warriors seemed to have no idea what death was, regardless of their own danger, and the shouts of killing still resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the speed of advance not only did not decrease in the slightest, but became faster and faster.

On the other side, the attack of the officers and soldiers of the Chu army was still firm, and there was no panic after the enemy approached in the past.

As the distance approaches. The archers of the Qiu clan also began to fight back continuously, and the arrows came and went in Shangyuan City, and the sky was much darker because of this.

In the face of all this, Li Wei was suddenly a little at a loss, and still just stared blankly.

In front of Li Lean, there was an archer who was not much older than Li Lean, with panic and madness on his face, and he was frantically pulling his bow and shooting arrows, without the slightest concern about his physical strength and possible danger.

However, when he drew an arrow from the quiver again and prepared to shoot it; As soon as the arrow hit the bowstring, the originally almost crazy action was suddenly stopped.

Then, in front of Li Bian. His body fell suddenly, Li was stunned, looked down, but saw that above his forehead, an arrow was clearly visible, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling. Beneath the arrow, there was a panicked and almost crazy childish face.

Seeing this scene, Li Wei's thinking seemed to stagnate, his mind was blank, death was so close to him for the first time, he couldn't react, just stared at the corpse in front of him, and didn't realize at all that if there was no wrist archer in front of him, then the tip of death would be him!! When Li Wei finally came to his senses, I don't know how long time had passed, but he found it in front of him. The original body has been removed. At the same time, at some point, a new archer fills the vacancy. Like the archer before him, his face was both panicked and frenzied, and he kept shooting the arrows in the quiver, as if this action would make him forget the danger.

Just when Li Liang hesitated, thinking that he should do something, a whistling sound suddenly sounded in his ears, as if something heavy was breaking through the air.

Suddenly remembering something, Li Wei's body suddenly became agitated, and he involuntarily shouted: "Fire attack!" Fire Attack!! ”

The voice was poignant, which was completely different from Li Wei's voice in the past, but Li Liang was unconscious.

As Li Yi's words fell, as yesterday, dense sealed oil cans began to fall all over the city, and as the sound of broken bottles and cans sounded one after another, the rich smell of grease also began to spread in the city.

At the same time, under the deadly surprise attack, the army of the Qiu clan had already come to the place of half an arrow below Shangyuan City. As the archers behind the shield hand fired rockets at the head of Shangyuan City, the head of Shangyuan City, the fire began to spread again!!

With the appearance of the fire, the smoke bursted, and the Chu troops on the city fork couldn't help but panic again.

Many soldiers of the Chu army, after seeing the fire, had already subconsciously dropped their weapons, shouted in panic, and hurriedly fled towards the city, however, before they could run a few steps, the panic shouts turned into miserable screams. But he was ruthlessly killed by the Overseer team in the rear!!

And more Chu soldiers are still sticking to their posts, unless the fire appears next to them, their expressions have not changed at all. The archers are still drawing their bows and shooting arrows, and the ballista soldiers are still busy controlling all kinds of ballistas, and the chaos and escape are only a few, and the scene is completely different from the previous day.

And the busiest are the auxiliaries. With the appearance of the fire, these soldiers, who were old, weak, sick and disabled even in the Chu army. At this moment, he finally showed the courage and blood of the warriors, and no longer cared about the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and constantly carried the sand and soil to the city to sprinkle the fire, and even pounced on it with his own robes, so that there were both dead and wounded, and there was little chaos.

Seeing this scene, I don't know why. In Li Han's heart, he couldn't help but be sure.

Meanwhile. An oil tank also smashed into Li Lean's side, but fortunately no rockets landed around.

Li Liang looked at the grease under his feet, as well as the unfamiliar busy scene around him, and finally reacted this time, hurriedly snatched a load of sand from the hands of the auxiliary soldiers next to him, and sprinkled it on the grease.

So far. Li Wei finally found out. It turned out that "I was already on the battlefield. From beginning to end, he kept an eye on the four siege ballistae in the distance.

Xiao Mo understood that the most threatening thing to Shangyuan City was the Qiu Clan's army, not those wolf-like warriors, but the four dilapidated siege ballistae.

When the siege ballista began to throw sealed oil cans towards the city, Xiao Mo, like Li Wei, couldn't help but feel nervous, as the fire began to spread on the city, Xiao Mo became even more nervous, ready to command the supervision team at any time to stabilize the situation.

Under the circumstance that the army of the Qiu clan may enter the city to fight at any time, if the Chu army is as chaotic as the day before, the consequences will undoubtedly be catastrophic.

However, the situation was much more optimistic than Xiao Mo imagined, except for a few soldiers, most of the sergeants were still able to follow orders. On the other side, as Deng Shangquan guessed, after yesterday's battle. Autumn Tribe's oil reserves. It was already depleted, and the sealed oil tanks thrown by the siege ballistae in the distance were far inferior to the previous day, both in density and quantity.

And with the throwing of three successive waves of sealed oil canisters, the Qiu Clan's grease reserves were finally exhausted, and they began to throw boulders to attack the walls of Shangyuan City.

So, I saw that there were boulders in the distance, after rising to a high point, and smashed down towards Shangyuan City, with the continuous impact of the boulder and the city wall, the head of Shangyuan City, it was constantly shaking, as if an earthquake, in a moment, on the wall of Shangyuan City, there were four clear four marks, the power was amazing, and the offensive of the defenders on the city could not help but be stunned.

Seeing the power generated by the siege ballista projecting boulders, Xiao Mo couldn't help frowning, the only good news was that the ballista soldiers of the Qiu Army were obviously undertrained, although the four boulders were smashed on the city wall, the distance between them was very different, and there was no continuous impact in a certain place.

While worrying about whether the walls of Shangyuan City could withstand the constant impact of the boulders, Xiao Mo did not hesitate any longer, and ordered Zhao Ying next to him: "The enemy's grease has been exhausted, and Cai is ordered to defend the envoy and counterattack with fire!" ”

When Zhao Ying took the order and hurried away. Several boulders fell on the walls of Shangyuan City, and the sky shook again.

Because the oil reserves are insufficient. The fire at the head of the city was obviously not as good as the day before, and the soldiers of the Chu army were more unexpectedly tenacious and determined, and everyone used their lives, so the Chu army did not cause a big riot, and the fires everywhere were quickly extinguished.

However, despite this, the successive fire attacks and boulder collisions still inevitably slowed down the Chu army's suppression of the Qiu clan. And taking advantage of such a gap, in the midst of the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the vanguard of the Qiu army had already come to the city of Shangyuan City.

As the warriors of the Qiu Clan continued to prop up the ladder above the city, the defense envoy Cai Da hurriedly ordered: "Auxiliaries, prepare to roll wood and radium." The pikemen stepped forward, and the archers continued to suppress!! ”

When the order reached Li Wu's ears, he followed the other pikemen to the front of the city and looked at the cloud ladder supported on the city wall in front of him. and the Qiu warriors who kept climbing up between the screams, Li Pants knew. The battle of its own, at last, began.

It is life or death, evil or auspicious. Li Liang, who is still just a big child, does not seem to be able to think about such a profound issue.
