"Ah...... Help, help......"

The screams resounded through the room, waking up many people.

"Mao Caigui, Brother Mao, wake up!" One of them stretched out his hand and pushed it, shaking the man's body vigorously.

Mao Caigui woke up suddenly, subconsciously shrunk into a ball, and leaned back.

"Brother Mao, you're having a nightmare!" The man who pushed him explained.

Mao Caigui was fixed, although there was only a faint glimmer of moonlight, he could still vaguely see that he was in the house, and there was nothing to build upon, only a few companions before.

He didn't hear any movement, so he calmed down and said to his companion: "I dreamed that Jianyu came into the city, and he was killing everywhere. ”

As he spoke, he felt that his body was full of sweat, and his forehead was also there, Mao Caigui recalled the scene in the dream, and couldn't help but reach out and wipe the sweat on his forehead with palpitations.

"Hey, it's been a few months, but that experience really comes back in my dreams, and I can't sleep well." The man empathized and sighed.

Several people in the room did not speak, recalling the experience buried in their hearts, thinking of their deceased relatives, they were all depressed and silent.

After a long while, Mao Caigui opened his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Now that I estimate the third watch, has Jianyu not moved?" ”

"Well, I haven't been asleep, I haven't heard any movement." Another person in the room replied, "After all, the Heavenly Army is powerful, and there are a lot of Jianyu heads hanging at the head of the city, so it should be a scare for Jianjiao!" ”

"yes, if it weren't for these Jian Chiefs, I wouldn't have been able to sleep." The person who woke up Mao Caigui just now, regardless of whether his companion saw it or not, nodded in agreement.

Mao Caigui didn't answer, and the room was quiet again. After a while, he slowly lay back down, and whispered, "Sleep." There is still some time before dawn, so I can sleep enough and wait for tomorrow when the city is built, maybe I can still make a difference. ”

Although he did not stay in the Heavenly Army like Ling Zhiyun, he was determined to kill Jianyu. But if he can do his part when he kills Jianyu, he is naturally willing.

You can't sit stupidly until dawn, and the others listen to him. Naturally, they didn't have any opinions, and they began to sleep hard.

At the head of the city, the night breeze in the spring came, and it was still very cold. After standing for a long time, my hands and feet are numb. Many of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army held their weapons, their hands shrunk in their sleeves, and they stomped their feet from time to time, and their eyes swept over the unchanged outside the city from time to time.

At this time, it is almost time to rotate. The soldiers on duty at the head of the city called the Heavenly Army were all sleepy and cold, and they wanted to have a warm quilt to drill. But the military discipline constraints that have been trained for a long time in peacetime make them know that there is basically nothing to do tonight, and they don't dare to be careless.

Besides, leaders at and above the battalion level will come over from time to time to inspect them. If it is found that there is a violation of military discipline, then it will be a big trouble. No, there are lanterns coming to the city, maybe it is the leader of Lai Chagang.

They don't know. It was not a leader above the battalion level who came to inspect the post, but Hu Kuan, the highest commander in the city.

He slept until midnight and woke up suddenly. After thinking about it carefully, it turned out that deep down in my heart, I was worried that the Naturalization City would not have the protection of the moat, and I was a little worried in my heart.

Compared with the city in the pass, this naturalized city is not only a little shorter, but also has no moat, and its defense ability is relatively weak.

Maybe the grassland people don't have any special feelings about this. But as Hu Kuan, who was born in the former border army, naturally knew the importance of the moat. The level of the garrisoned city is lowered, and it is not safe after all.

Although Hu Kuan has always said to himself, he must look like a chief and be calm. But I couldn't sleep after I woke up. In desperation, he simply got up to inspect.

The guards lit lanterns and walked ahead. Hu Kuan looked up at the crescent moon, in this silent environment, for some reason, there was always a little nervousness.

The Naturalization City is not large, the circumference is about two miles, and when you look around, you can see that all the city walls are normal, and there is nothing special.

Hu Kuan was relieved, took a deep breath, and told himself that he would go back to rest after the inspection. Otherwise, tomorrow's war will be together, and I'm afraid there won't be much time to rest.

At the head of the city on the west side, a soldier named Celestial Army saw a chief coming to inspect, and immediately woke up and scanned the movement outside the city more seriously than before.

Suddenly, as if something was shaking in the shadows outside the city, he blinked, the first feeling was that he was looking at the flowers, and then, a cool air rose from the tail spine, could it be Jianyu?

Before he figured it out, he didn't dare to shout about the enemy attack, otherwise if he was shocked, there would be military law to deal with.

"Who?" He shouted, clenched his weapon, and looked closely.

This question was not expected to be answered from outside the city, but was addressed to his companions, indicating that there might be movement here.

Sure enough, after hearing his question, the sentries on his left and right also looked carefully outside the city.

At this moment, something suddenly flew up, and it was lightning fast, and then my neck hurt, and I felt speechless.

The two sentries on the side also had about the same time before and after, and this arrow was stuck in their necks, either falling under the city, or soft enough to be at the head of the city.

"Enemy attack!" There was a shout, and the police gong rang out. The soldiers on duty on the other side of the city immediately pulled out the torches they had planted there and threw them out of the city.

This section of the city wall was suddenly covered by a rain of arrows thrown from outside, and many soldiers on the inside of the city head had no time to pick up their shields before they were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

The sound of the cloud ladder leaning against the head of the city was hidden in the rain of arrows, and the sound of chaotic footsteps and weapons colliding was finally heard outside.

When Hu Kuan saw it, he was shocked. Unexpectedly, before Jianyu, he was camped on the east bank of the Heihe River, and the essence was to steal the city tonight.

Fortunately, however, everything was arranged, and Hu Kuan immediately ordered the city walls to strengthen their defenses, and drew troops from the reserves in the city to reinforce the city walls that were mainly attacked.

In the inner part of the city, near the city walls, trebuchets were arranged. There was no need for Hu Kuan's order, and the soldiers there had already begun to counterattack, and began to fire small home-made incendiary bombs like a parabola.

At the same time, the Jianyu came out of the ladder with his shield in his hand, and it was only then that the rain of arrows began to extend to the walls on both sides, in an attempt to isolate reinforcements on both sides of the walls.

There were even some fast-moving, brave captives who jumped over the city with shields in their hands, and pounced on the soldiers of the Heavenly Army to start fighting.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Army who were hiding in the dead corner of the city came out one after another at this time, and some of the soldiers took out the flintlock pistols that had been prepared and "banged" towards the Jianyu who was rising; Some soldiers picked up specially prepared poles, aimed at the ladder, and pushed it outward. Other soldiers, holding long weapons, aimed at the rising Jianlu. (To be continued.) )
