For a time, the war was at a stalemate.

Gongsun Junsheng killed traitors and took the lead in taking people, but after all, he was not very good at attacking cities, and the siege equipment he prepared was too simple. The hundreds of remnants defending the city were Liu Yu's disciples, and later Koji Yi was fully responsible for the training. Koji Yi's first camp has the smell of death squads, and after his training, these disciples can be regarded as veritable dead soldiers.

Juyong City is not large, and to a certain extent, it is also conducive to the concentration of troops on the side with few soldiers, and the result is that Liu Yu stubbornly withstood Gongsun Zhan's onslaught.

Of course, the defenders were outstretched after all, and the defense was completely based on human lives, and the siege lasted for more than three hours, and the casualty rate of the attacking side and the defending side was almost equal.

The Gongsun army is as high as 20,000 people, and some of them can be rotated, which can reduce casualties to a certain extent, but Liu Yujun can only survive until the last moment of his life.

The fierce offensive and defensive battles lasted from early morning to afternoon, and the winter days were short, and the sun did not stay long in the middle of the sky before it began to tilt to the west, as if frightened by the fierce battle.

Liu Yu knows very well that the closer to the night, the higher the hope of life. Forcibly attacking the city in the winter night, the damage to the soldiers is too great, under the combined effect of darkness and cold, the non-combat attrition will increase significantly, as long as Gongsun Chan still has a trace of sanity, he will not go crazy and attack the city overnight.

But this realization did not give him hope, and even if he did not know anything about military affairs, the moment the sun set in the west, he realized that the end was coming.

Only twenty or thirty of his five hundred guards remained, and the enemy swarmed and slaughtered as if they were endless.

Although the Gongsun army had few ladders, the walls of Juyong City were too short, and well-trained cavalrymen could easily throw hooks from their horses and swing directly onto the city walls.

Even more terrifying are the bows and arrows, every time between two attacks. There were patches of arrows that covered the entire city, causing a lot of casualties. At least half of the more than 1,000 people who were driven to help the battle by the defenders with their swords died under such attacks.

It was the cold arrows that would come up in the heat of battle from time to time that inflicted heavy casualties on the defenders. The ratio of sharpshooters in the Gongsun army was much higher than that of ordinary armies, and the low head of Juyong City was conducive to their full performance.

"I am a member of the Han family, an important minister of the court, and I died here?" Leaning in front of the window of the city tower, Liu Yu let out an unwilling cry.

He is unwilling, if God must hone himself. At least make it through today, right? Xu You is running on the grassland, Xianbei's army is gathering, as long as there is one more day, reinforcements will swarm in! How could Heaven be so stingy and not even give such a humble wish to herself?

Maybe. As Zitu said, reinforcements won't come, right? I have been abandoned, so it doesn't matter if I have that day or not.

But he still felt resentful, with his own identity, how could it be in this form. What about dying in such a place?

A person like himself, even if he wants to die, should be in the midst of Jin Luan Yuque, surrounded by ministers. After solemnly entrusting the state affairs, Fang passed away for a long time, causing the city to cry, and the whole world mourned. Instead of hiding in the castle tower like a rat. If you are still breathing, you may be dragged out like a dead dog at any time to show the public. Then he was brutally punished with a thousand cuts.

Throughout the morning, Liu Yu's mind was full of the appearance of Wangmen's tragic death, his wind and cold were very heavy, and after being stimulated like this, he fell directly to the ground, and he was dying when he saw it.

Liu Yu is not worried about this, but a little lucky, if he dies like this, he will not have to endure the humiliation of Gongsun Pifu, and in the future history books, he will also record his glorious deeds of swearing to die, supervising the battle with illness, and finally dying in glory.

He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the guards would hold on for a little longer, even if only for a moment, to make a name for himself.

……

Tian Yu looked at the sky, and glanced at the surrounding wilderness a few times, a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows, seeing that Liu Yu's personal guards at the head of the city were still resisting stubbornly, he finally couldn't help but put forward a warning: "Lord, Juyong City is lonely and hangs outside, it is not appropriate to stay longer, Liu Yu is now poor, why bother to stick to life capture?" It's better to set fire to the castle tower and collect the troops as soon as possible. ”

"What are these words?" Gongsun Zhan raised his eyebrows, looked at Tian Yu, there was already a dissatisfied look in his eyes, and he pointed at the city with a horsewhip: "The old man has been bullying me for a long time, if you don't drag him out to show the public today, let everyone see whether he is fame and reputation, or is he really the same, how can I be willing?" ”

"Xian Yufu and Yan Rou's miscellaneous Hu have been defeated by me in Jixian County, and they have been pursued all the way to this day, and there is no trace of them. After the death of Tanshi Huai, the Xianbei people have become strong and strong, that is, there is no army of Pengju virtuous brothers, how dare they make a mistake? Don't worry! ”

"But ......" Tian Yu still wanted to persuade again, but Gongsun Zhan waved his hand violently and shouted: "There is no need to say more, don't say that Xianbei people may not come, even if Kuitou and Qianman reconcile and come side by side, why be afraid?" Although Pengju's virtuous brother went north with a lot of enthusiasm, but a certain person who has been in northern Xinjiang for decades, how can he be excused by others? If they don't come, if they dare to come, they want to see the might of the Han army! ”

Tian Yu knew that he couldn't persuade Gongsun Zhan, looked at the city, sighed and pressed the handle of the knife. If you can't persuade Gongsun Zhan, you can only settle the battle as soon as possible, among Liu Yu's remaining personal guards, there are quite a few strong martial arts, as long as you get rid of these people, there will be no more accidents.

Suddenly, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Tian Yu and Gongsun Zan were both stunned, thinking that they had heard it wrong, and turned their heads to look around almost at the same time. Under the dark red sky, they saw a waving white flag, and behind the white flag was a black line that stretched across the wilderness.

Although it is a white flag, no one will regard the other party as a volunteer to serve, because there is a pattern on the white flag - it is a wolf, a fierce wolf with teeth and claws, and a fierce appearance!

"Xianbei King Banner...... It's the leader! Tian Yu shouted in a lost voice. There are many things that the nomadic tribes of the steppe use to make totems, among which the wolf, like the dragon in the Central Plains, has an extraordinary significance. Qualified to use the wolf as a totem and draw on the battle flag, only the Xianbei people who dominate the grassland, and among the Xianbei people, the nominal king is the leader of the central Xianbei.

"Qianman is here too. Good thief, he really reconciled! Gongsun Zhan's eyes flickered, and he stared closely at the black wolf flag that followed the white wolf flag. The wolf on the flag is not as flamboyant as the previous one, like a wolf cub, the Xianbei Lord after the sandalwood is Helian, and Qianman is the son of Helian!

"Pass my general order, the rear team will become the front team, ready to meet the enemy!" Although Gongsun Chan was not shocked, he raised his arms and shouted. The current situation is dangerous. But he has fought all his life, and I don't know how many similar dangerous scenes he has experienced, where will he be scared?

"Whoa!" The previous worries were swept away, and Tian Yuzhong agreed with his promise.

There are more than 10,000 enemies that have appeared, look at this posture. Hu Qi also has at least 30,000, and it is not surprising that there are more than 50,000. But nothing, as the most warlike border army in the Han army, why be afraid of being outnumbered?

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Woo woo woo ......" The attackers and protesters blew their horns at the same time, one side was ferocious and inevitable, and the other side was firm and vowed not to bow down, and it seemed to be an even scene.

However. The next moment, more trumpets and even greater smoke and dust suddenly rose from the northwest, and soon filled the entire sky, obscuring the sky. Gongsun Zan and Tian Yuzhong will all change color.

In the smoke and dust, flags painted with various animals loomed, dogs, and foxes. There are horses, rabbits, and even swans!

The painting is very poor. The fox looks like a dog, the dog looks like a horse, and only the swan looks like that. But the hearts of the generals in Youzhou sank suddenly, and behind these seemingly ridiculous tattered flags, the meaning represented was not ridiculous at all.

The fox is the symbol of the most powerful Murong tribe in the central Xianbei, except for the divided royal tent. Its leader, Murong Hong, is cunning and wise, known as a cunning fox among the Xianbei clan, and in the dispute between the leader and Qianman, he has been swaying from side to side, reaping great benefits, and in just ten years, he has expanded his power several times.

After Kuitou and Qianman, the appearance of the Murong Department represents the concentration of all the forces of Xianbei in the central region!

And the totems such as dogs, horses, and rabbits represent even more amazing meanings - Mika, Que Ji, and Suli, they are the three major leaders of Xianbei in the east!

Micah is loyal to the sandalwood locust, so he pretends to be a loyal dog; Que Ji is not good at machine change, and he is practical and diligent; Suli is a rabbit because of his lack of resilience in battle, but he escapes quickly, and rarely suffers in tribal conflicts...... Their appearance represents that the two major Xianbei forces in the east and the central part have joined forces.

And the swans ...... Gongsun Chan is not very familiar with the meaning of its representation, but I have heard that it seems that the Tuoba Department of Xianbei in the west is a totem of this.

From Shanggu in the west to Wusun in the west, the tribes were scattered over an extremely wide area, and in less than a year, the roots could not complete the assembly. The Tuoba Department was the closest, so they appeared......

After the death of Tanshi Huai, the divided Xianbei tribe gathered together again!

The smoke and dust covered the sun, the dust was monstrous, the sky became dark, and the horses galloped wildly, instantly covering the entire wilderness, and the boundless rush came. The Xianbei Hu chieftains are all here, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses?

"Hahahaha, the sky will not kill me, the sky will not kill me!" On the city tower, Liu Yu, who seemed to have only his last breath left, jumped up suddenly, looked at Hu Chen in the sky with ecstasy, and laughed wildly: "There is a lot of help for the righteous, but there is little help for the unjust, Gongsun Pifu, see that you are not dead this time?" ”

Wei You was stunned from the sidelines, not for the arrival of reinforcements, but because he was frightened by Liu Yu's madness.

How could such an army of Hu cavalry arrive at the last minute by such coincidence? Impossible. No matter how optimistic you think, you can only come to the conclusion that the other party uses Juyong City as a pawn, uses the last strength of the defenders to cause attrition to the Gongsun army, and then launches an attack. Even the Tuoba Department is here, and the previous preparations are not only months?

Not only a pawn, but also an outcast!

If the Xianbei people had the heart to rescue Liu Yu, as long as an hour earlier, no, half an hour would be enough, they didn't need to launch an attack, as long as Gongsun Chan discovered their existence, the latter could only give up the siege of Juyong City.

But they didn't, they made use of Liu Yu's last bit of surplus value...... Well, maybe it's not all, after Liu Yu's death, they can also raise the banner of revenge for Liu Yu and continue to fight against the Qingzhou army.

When he heard that the human was about to die, his mind was extremely clear, and Wei You felt that he was like this now, and he could think clearly and thoroughly about the cause and effect in an instant. But what about Liu Yu, he is so excited, does it mean that he thinks he still has life? Or is it ......

"Guorang, burn the city tower!" Although he realized the urgency of the situation, Gongsun Chan still couldn't stand the arrogance of his old enemy.

"Burn, burn! Gongsun Pifu, even if you die, I will take you with me! Liu Yu waved his hands and laughed wildly: "I am a member of the Han family, a pillar of the imperial court, how can I ......?"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Liu Yu maintained the posture of opening his teeth and claws, stopping all movements, looking like a cold wind was blowing, freezing his whole body.

"Lord!" Wei Yu was shocked, probed under Liu Yu's nose with his finger, and found that his breath was already cold, and the latter's last excitement turned out to be a return to the light, and he died like this.

Wei You finally understood, it turned out that the lord understood everything, he knew that he was pathetic and pitiful, but he never admitted it, and his last crazy move seemed to be a mockery of Gongsun Zhan, but in fact, it was not his mockery of himself?

Tian Yu looked at Gongsun Zhan, who nodded firmly: "Ignite the fire!" ”

With wisps of green smoke, dozens of rockets were shot up the city tower, in the strong north wind, the fire was blazing, Gongsun Chan took one last look at Juyong City, turned around, raised the lance in his hand, raised his arms and shouted: "Sons, follow me...... Kill Hu! ”

"Kill Hu!" 20,000 border troops shouted in unison, facing the dust in the sky, and resolutely attacked them!
