Hundreds of years ago, humans knew how to use physical elasticity to create such great destruction, but the mobility was too low, and its accuracy was too low, and it did not become a long-range weapon on the unified battlefield like the bow and arrow.

But Zhuge Sheng solved this problem and strengthened his attack power.

The ten siege "hands" were pulled to the ground again and fixed, and this time instead of each loading stones, each with a hemp rope, all gathered on a large bag, which contained a boulder of at least 1,000 catties.

Ten giant arms that bent and bent to the ground at the same time exerted force, causing the long rope to throw out a big bag, and the boulder on the big bag was like a slingshot, shooting straight into the sky, and the parabola fell towards the city wall.

With a bang, it did not hit the city wall, but flew into the city, like the top of Mount Tai, and everything it touched turned into powder, marking a huge scar in the city.

Long Er watched the boulders of the siege cannon fly into Qiuzi City from afar, and said to Wen Qiang beside him: "Take the city wall as the target and smash the city wall, just break their gate, but the direct destruction of the city can cause everyone's fear of falling from the sky in the face of death at some point, which is to break their heartstrings, as long as their morale collapses, the city wall will not be broken, and there will be no street fighting after entering the city." ”

Wen Qiang was puzzled, "But what if Bai Ti returns to defense?" ”

"Haha! They were surrounded when they entered Baiyun Castle, and they could only rely on the city wall to protect themselves, how could they dare to break through? Are they also hoping that someone will be sent to save him? ”

"What about their cavalry?"

"Staying elusive with rangers is indeed the greatest threat to us, and I want to see if they dare to attack us!"

"As long as they can't resist attacking first, it's a chance!"

"That's right! In the face of fear, ordinary people can't help but fight back against their opponents, thinking that this is a sign of courage, but it is all a hasty move, as long as we calculate well, how can they turn defeat into victory in this situation? ”

"The military advisor said that from now on we will no longer fight in Dayue, we will only be the attacking side, this time I really experienced that the siege does not need to be filled with corpses, and this is the first time I have heard it!"

Mulan believed in the horse, and often looked back behind her, infinitely attached to the mountains and rivers that were gradually drifting away, and she didn't expect that the old red foot was faster, which had exceeded her imagination, and in a few days, not only the chasing soldiers had disappeared, but her own position, the horse had crossed Chang'an, and went west.

People's spirits are not good, and the wind and cold are naturally easy to invade, and on this day, Mulan was riding on a horse, and the person was no longer supportive, and fell straight to the ground.

I woke up in a blur, and found a handsome and shiny face in front of me, and after a period of intoxication, I was shocked, and hurriedly jumped up with a "carp fight".

The man was holding Mulan in his arms, and when Mulan jumped up, he knocked over the water bag in his hand and hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Girl, I'm just feeding you water! ”

Mulan will be suspicious, seeing that she is neatly dressed, it is not easy to have a seizure. "Who are you? What the hell are you doing here? ”

"The young general Murong Ming, who is the commander of the Shenjia soldiers under Yanhou, was ordered to go to the Western Regions to help the prince, and the girl is wearing the armor of the government soldiers, is it a government soldier?"

Mulan was suspicious in her heart, "How do you know that I am a daughter?" In a fit of rage, he drew his saber.

"Girl...... Wait...... You don't have an Adam's apple! Isn't that obvious? What about the beard? ……”

Mulan was stunned, thinking that her colleagues in the camp had pretended not to know, but she was smart and thought she had deceived everyone, so she sighed and put the knife into the sheath.

If he hadn't been smart, he probably wouldn't have died?

Murong Ming saw Mulan's murderous aura gradually decreasing, and sighed, "The girl is so murderous, it seems that she is really killed by thousands of troops!" ”

“…… Thank you for saving me! ”

"Huh! I'm just giving you a drink, you haven't drunk it yet, maybe you'll faint ......soon, but you're suffering from the cold, you still have to recuperate. ”

Only then did Mulan feel that her body was weak and she sat down unconsciously.

That night, Mulan slept in Murong Ming's tent, and Murong Ming was outside the tent, he found a lot of herbs, boiled them with fire, and let Mulan drink them.

Seeing Murong Ming sitting alone by the campfire and having no blanket on his body, because the blankets were all used on herself, Mulan couldn't help but apologize.

Murong Ming saw that Mulan's health was improving, and he smiled, "Okay?" You are also strange, there are no tents and blankets but you are walking a long way, so it's strange that you don't die cold, don't do this in the future! ”

Mulan also felt dizzy at the indescribably handsome man in front of her, but just after the upheaval, her heart was full of ashes, "Thank you for the grace of the strong man to save her, Mulan Ziran is alone, she is difficult to protect, and there is nothing to repay, I just hope that he will have the opportunity to meet one day, or he can repay the kindness of the strong man." ”

"Huh! Are you leaving? The illness is not all cured! Why the rush? ”

"It's hard to say!" The matter of chasing soldiers cannot be mentioned.

“…… In that case, I don't force it to stay, I just hit a hare, eat enough and then leave? ”

Mulan couldn't refuse, so she could only sit down, eat for a while, and felt that Murong Ming was really knowledgeable and couldn't help but admire it in her heart.

"Mulan, your name is unique, where is your hometown?"

Thinking of her hometown, Mulan forcibly controlled her tears, "Youzhou, my surname is Hua, and the ancestors of my father and clan are all from outside the Guan. ”

"No wonder, so am I, surnamed Hua and Murong, they are both Xianbei people!"

"Yes, but we have moved to the Great Wall for a while, and Brother Murong's accent is like that of a person on the grassland."

"I didn't expect to meet a clansman, come and take a drink!" Murong Ming handed over a wine gourd.

"Ahh I don't drink! ”

"A little bit is also good for your illness, and it doesn't give face?"

“…… All right! ”

The two talked very happily, Mulan was also very happy, and in a trance, when she saw Murong Ming opposite, her appearance changed, and she became Wang Wei's face, Mulan only felt a burst of excitement, a burst of alcohol, and felt that her body was soft again.

Murong Ming was shocked, and hurriedly helped her into the tent again, Mulan was still conscious, but she only felt weak in her limbs.

"I must have been hit by the wind chill again just now, I shouldn't have told you to stay in the tent, how can this kind of wind chill be good for a day?" Murong Ming began to get busy again, constantly decocting medicine and cooking.

Every time Mulan woke up, Murong Ming was busy outside the tent, so after a few days, Mulan gradually improved, but Murong Ming was also infected with the cold.

"In this hellish place, cows will also get sick, it doesn't matter, I'll just burn one more fire!"

"That's ...... If I hadn't taken your account, you wouldn't have been sick! ”

"What are these words? It is very appropriate for a man to take care of a woman, and if you raise it for another day or two, you should be cured. ”

"Hmm!" Mulan was grateful in her heart, but her eloquence was not good, and she didn't express it much, she just put it in her heart.

Two days later, Mulan was already well, the old red horse was also full of energy, Mulan was glad that the pursuers did not arrive, and she couldn't wait to go west again this morning.

"Wait!" Murong Ming grabbed her with his hand, "Although you and I have met in Pingshui, you haven't told me why you have fallen here in the past few days, where are you going, Mulan, even if you are a prisoner, I will use my life to protect you, don't you know it yet?" ”

Mulan was stunned, she didn't expect Murong Ming to say this, she couldn't help lowering her head, her face was red and her ears were hot.

"Mulan, further west you are, is the Yumen Pass, where it is not the border of Middle-earth, barbarians everywhere, what have you done? Do you have to go west? ”

"You...... Barbarians, too, aren't they? ”

"Mulan, that's different, no matter how chaotic Middle-earth is, it's also Middle-earth, and the Western world is different!"

"Brother Murong, even if the Western World is a Shura Hell, I must go there, your thoughts, if there is a chance, he will definitely repay you."

"Mulan, in that case, I will escort you to the west, come, help me put away the tent, and we will go!"

Mulan shook her whole body, "But...... Brother Murong ......"

"Haha! The same is a single horse in the wilderness, why bother to divide each other, the pain on Mulan's body is also my pain, you don't need to say more. ”

"But...... But...... Brother Murong doesn't know anything about me! ”

"When you want to sue me, you will sue me, and as for me...... Inadvertent...... The West is really a sad place, in short, no matter how big the disaster you are, it will not be as big as me, Prince Jin is a hypocritical person, alas! It's a long story that I shouldn't have given up on ......, let alone now? In fact, I originally had something to do to go west, but I was too shallow to do it, and now it seems that God wants me to go west? ”

Mulan became interested, "The crown prince of the Khan is a hypocritical person? It turned out that Brother Murong's official position was so high that he could work with the Khan's crown prince...... Even...... Struggle? ”

Murong Ming smiled, "Khan? We are called the emperor, in fact, I am the surrender of Yanhou, the former Murong Xianbei Khan is my uncle, the prince of Jin is now also in the Western Regions, I helped him establish the Great Moon City, how do I know that he is full of bows and hidden, originally I was successful and retired is also very good, but this person put the life and death of the residents of the Great Moon City aside, and successively fought with Rouran and Qiuzi, and the ten people in the Great Moon City went to nine of them, and forcibly occupied the queen as his wife, the queen did not know, every day with the enemy **, only hated me for being weak and single, but what about it...... Hehe...... If you want to protect Mulan to the West, you can still do it. Since he was going there, as an elder of Otsuki City, he couldn't stay out of the suffering of Otsuki City anymore. ”

"Is this enemy still in Big Moon City? He can start a war with Rou Ran and others, he is a victim of evil, and the Western Regions are too dangerous for you to go with me! ”

"Mulan! Now that the world is like a hanging egg, who can be truly safe? Although the enemy is strong, how can I, Murong Ming, be an ordinary person? This time I came to the east, it's not that I'm weak and afraid, I just don't want the war in the Western Regions to start again, after all, I don't have ambitions, and I don't want to be a city lord, but today is different! Mulan is my new confidant, I have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is rare to find a confidant, how can I stay out of it? Mulan, even if you offend the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, I will still support you. ”

Mulan joined the army, it was the first time to leave home, after several struggles to stay in the army, and slowly had a sense of belonging, these days, but I felt heartbroken, lonely, although the world is big, there is no place to stay, at this time suddenly appeared a "partner", I couldn't help but feel a heat in my heart, when I saw Murong Ming's handsome face, I felt a strange feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.

Murong Ming couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Mulan looking at him in a daze, "Look at what!" Thinking of your Wang Wei brother? ”

"Ahh A burst of endless pain stabbed Mulan, her tears poured out like a spring, Murong Ming had already guessed most of them, but pretended to be shocked, "Mulan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, you suddenly shouted loudly the night before, and I didn't dare to enter the tent, I listened intently outside the tent, and heard this name, in fact, in the troubled times, between men and women, as long as you can meet true love, why do you care about those etiquette things?" Even if I am known to an outsider, my brother will not laugh at you, so why cry? ”

When Mulan heard "meet true love", she cried even more desolately, and Murong Ming pretended to be at a loss again, "It turns out that it's because of this kind of thing, sister don't worry, being an elder brother will definitely call the shots for you, it seems that we don't have to go west, haha!" , said, where is Wang Wei? ”

Mulan shook her head desperately, couldn't hold it anymore, cried loudly, couldn't speak, just waved her palms desperately.

Murong Ming said softly: "Sister, don't be sad, if you have any grievances, even if I give up my life, I will get it back on your behalf, if you ...... If someone is guilty......"

"No...... No! Woohoo......"

"That'...... Alas...... Don't cry, okay? Say slowly...... Murong Ming slowly stretched out his hand to pull Mulan's hand, and as soon as his hands touched, Mulan's hand shrank back like a snake bite.

Mulan's eyes showed a confused gaze as she looked at Murong Ming.

Murong Ming smiled, "It turns out that your hand is an acupuncture point to stop crying, I will remember it next time!" ”

Mulan lowered her head, "I'm homeless now, and I have nowhere to go, although I want to go west, I don't know when I'm going to go?" ”

"Then I will protect you for the rest of my life!" Murong Ming rushed out.

Lifetime?

Murong Ming patted the back of his head, "In short, I am also helpless, and we have the same illness!" He saw that Mulan didn't object, and hurriedly packed up, Mulan Muran got on the horse, but he felt that he was aimless, just following Murong Ming's horse.

"Prince, we have been chasing west for a few days, and we don't know if there is an oasis any further, do we still want to chase it?" Ushida couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, they are locals, as long as they stick to them, there will be no shortage of water, I want them to experience the feeling of not knowing when the wolf will be killed."

Sima Dan and Niu Tian found two horses, but the more than 100 Hazra believers who were following them only relied on their legs, they had scared Sima Dan and did not dare to sacrifice their lives to attack, and Sima Dan They were not close to these more than 100 black-clothed people, they only followed and monitored from afar for a few days, and they would launch a surprise attack at night to kill and injure more than a dozen people and then flee away.

Sima Dan had hatred in his heart, but Niu Tian didn't understand, "Prince, I really didn't expect you to be like this for Yanhou."

"I'm not just avenging Chen Yun, and I'm not just targeting the more than 100 people in front of me." Shelun's face suddenly flashed in his heart, and he secretly thought that he must be broken into thousands of pieces.

Niu Tian was startled, "You're not going to destroy their entire clan, are you?" ”

"The whole family? Then you have to see it, they use these gods and monsters to lure innocent people to join, and even threaten them to die for themselves, this kind of foolish sect, I must eat its flesh and blood! ”

Ushida was startled again.

"What goes to heaven after death, what puts aside personal safety, what averages wealth and land, and in the end it is for the gods? Or is it for the sake of those shamans? I have interrogated several captives in the past few nights, and they have all been forced, but the most hateful thing is that they soon join in becoming accomplices in coercing others, if these people are allowed to be here, and everyone here is turned into walking corpses, then where is the way of heaven? If you hadn't seen their mortality, you wouldn't have known how evil they were! Chen Yun will not die in vain! ”

"So you want them to take us to Hazra's base camp?"

"Hmmm! The tragic situation of the villages I passed through in the past few days, there have been several times when I wanted to give up, there is such a ** in the world, and God doesn't want us to go back! ”

"There are only two of us!"

"Of course I'm not going to attack directly! Rest assured, I have memorized the location of the stars every night, and if I want to escape, it will never be too late. ”

Ushida rejoiced, "Sounds fun, but why are they so far from their base camp?" ”

"They have been spinning around for the past few days, and they have no intention of going back to the base camp at all, I am just forcing them, and they will go back regardless of the fear of being afraid!"

"Forced back?"

"They don't dare to go back, probably because there are other enemies here besides us, and the so-called Hazraites rule this desert should be just. Like the Amudi, most of them have killed each other in the name of Hazra. ”

The next day, on a sand dune in the distance, Niu Tian noticed two knights, dressed in white robes, who blew their horns when they saw the Hazites.
