Under the ice castle, in the big tent of the Tongluo Zhongjun, Udil, who was wearing iron armor and a horned helmet, sat gloomy and pondered something in the dark, and his face completely lost the joy and joy he had when he was outside just now. The hand on his lap trembled slightly, the siege of the city had progressed smoothly in the past three days, and only a few hundred casualties had been paid, and the dense fortifications arranged by the Han people under the city had been swept away, and now only the last ditch was left, and tonight, they would be able to touch the ice wall of the castle made of ice. It's just that he is faintly uneasy in his heart, and it is too smooth. Shun lì made him hard to believe. Previously, they had left behind the corpses of 2,000 soldiers in front of the camp at the mouth of the West Valley, but they had not been able to break through to within 200 paces of the city, but now they easily attacked the last trench with only a few hundred casualties.

He told himself over and over again that the Han people must be short of arrows, or that in such a cold weather, their bows had problems, or that such a powerful and ultra-long-range bow might be easily damaged, and so on. But comforting himself like this still couldn't calm his heart, but the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, but he had no other choice.

Footsteps sounded outside the tent, and when they reached the curtain, they stopped hesitantly.

"Who?" Udir exclaimed impatiently.

"It's me, Ruan!"

Ruan, the captain who looked like a sturdy bull, lifted the curtain and came in, he walked to Udil and sat down, he wanted to speak again and again, and finally opened his mouth and said: "Udier, I always feel that something is not quite right, things are too smooth. ”

Udil looked up at Ruan with an expressionless face, and Ruan was the general who had always supported his attack. Now even he has this kind of uneasiness, which means that there may really be something wrong with this matter. It's just that things have come to this point, and sometimes I know that there is a cliff ahead. Had to jump too. If you jump, you may die, but if you don't jump, you will definitely die.

"Is Gu Luo awake?" Udir asked. If Gu Luo was faced with such a situation, how would he choose?

"Not yet." Lu An shook his head, Gu Luo was such a brave and strong person, but he didn't expect to be in a coma for several days now. "I can't count on Guluo."

"Get the Warriors ready, and it's going to be tonight." Udir was silent for a moment, then finally said slowly. Ruan opened his mouth. Finally, he nodded, got up and left.

In the Muzha camp behind the ice castle, 11,000 soldiers from the four Xi cavalry battalions have been prepared. Ready. For the Xi people, although the Sui army was Han who commanded the battle, the battle was fought on their territory, and the battle was also fought against the Turks against the attack of the Tiele people. It is a counterattack against the oppression and oppression of the Turkic Tiele people all along. The Turks were aggressive, and the Tiele invaded from time to time, which made them resentful all the time. In the past, they were weak and had no support, so they could only swallow their anger. But now after all these years of recuperation, the Xi people also have a population of hundreds of thousands, and now there are even Sui generals leading elite troops to jointly fight back against the Turks and the Tiele people, which they have endured for too long. Now it's finally time to break out. Especially for Suzhi, more than 10,000 people. They fell down one by one in front of him a few days ago. Now that these Tongluo murderers are trapped in the valley, they finally have the opportunity to kill the murderer.

Although these Tongluo people have become turtles in the urn, they can also be trapped directly. But the Xi people are also bloody, and they prefer to take the knife and personally cut off the heads of these enemies and kill them on the battlefield.

Su Zhi looked at the deer flags one by one, the five tribes of the Xi tribe were united like never before, it was this invasion, and it was with the help of the Sui people that their five tribes were not as killed by those powerful grassland tribes or Han armies as they had been hundreds of years ago, and fled everywhere. This time, although the soldiers were defeated, they began to unite, although this was under the fluttering of the Han white tiger banner, united around the Han army, but Su Zhi felt extremely excited in his heart. For a moment, he even felt in his mind that this invasion of the Tiele people was not all bad.

As if he had insight into his thoughts, Yi Feng smiled and said: "What a fierce soldier, the Xi clan is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are many warriors, with these warriors, the future of the Xi clan will be bright." ”

Although Yi Feng's words were full of praise, Su Zhi didn't dare to be complacent, he clearly understood that although these 11,000 Xi warriors looked huge, after seeing Yi Feng's Wuzhou army, he already knew that the Xi people, who were born brave, were not the opponents of the Wuzhou army at all. The warriors of the Wuzhou army may not be as strong as the Xi people, but their powerful longbows, mighty crossbows, and powerful ballistas and throwing carts, not to mention those sturdy mobile castle-like chariots, but also their shiny, strong and light plate armor, the sharp cavalry knives equipped with their cavalry, the two-handed swords equipped with heavy infantry, not to mention the commanders who are extremely young, but have endless strategies. And such a powerful Wuzhou army, which is difficult to match, as far as he knows, is just a border army of the Great Sui Dynasty. Wuzhou is only one of the more than 300 states in the Great Sui, and it is said that the population of the Great Sui is tens of millions, and the army is million.

In the past, he just regarded these as distant legends, although the situation after attaching to the Great Sui was much better, but their situation was still very difficult, and they survived in the cracks. But now, the powerful Sui army has penetrated deep into the Xi realm, not only helping them resist the invasion of the Tiele people, but also signing a security pact with them, which makes him feel the majesty of the Han family.

As a descendant of the Xiongnu and a side branch of the Xianbei people, the Su Branch, the Donghu race, has a deep inferiority complex in his heart for Yi Feng, a general of the Han people in Middle Earth. Especially when Yi Feng personally showed his strong strength in front of him, Su Zhi even reflected the character of the side that surrendered to the strong, for the Great Sui, for Yi Feng, he is now completely surrendered.

"The Xi clan is willing to be the Great Sui Fan forever, and the Su branch is willing to be the forerunner of Yi Shuai forever!"

Seeing that Su Zhi, the most powerful figure in the Xi clan, could have such an attitude, Yi Feng was very happy.

"Be loyal to the Great Sui, you will never regret it, you will never be disappointed."

Su Zhi said solemnly: "Please also ask Yi Shuai to look at our watch tonight, and we will never let Yi Shuai down!" ”

The history of the Xi people for hundreds of years is sù Suzhi. Tribes like the Xi can only survive if they are dependent on the strong. And now, in his eyes, he is the strongest in the world. It is undoubtedly the Great Sui Empire in Middle-earth.

The night wind was cold, and the Xi cavalry was ready to fight.

Yi Feng would not personally participate in tonight's raid, not even his cavalry reconnaissance group, and after a few more words with Su Zhi and other leaders, Yi Feng prepared to leave. At this time, I suddenly heard a loud noise, "Go and see what's going on?" ”

The guards soon came back in return. There is a team of Xi people who are not in the competition who also want to join the team.

"The leader is a young woman of the Xi tribe, I heard that it is the daughter of Su Zhi, and she will also participate in the night attack with a large group of Xi women. I wanted to sneak into the team and follow quietly, but I was discovered, and now Su Zhijin already knows, and he asked them to drive them away. As a result, her daughter took him and got into trouble. ”

Yi Feng was a little surprised. He also knows a little about the women of the Xi tribe. These Xiren girls are not gentler than the Han women in the Central Plains, they are wilder, and many of these women can also ride horses and shoot arrows, hunt, fish, farm, cook and take care of children, and they are quite capable and capable. Moreover, the status of these Xi women in the family is even quite high, and many Xi tribes have married after marriage. It is the custom for a man to go to the woman's house for a few years. Ordinary men live in their wives' homes for three years after getting married, while some women have a high status. You may even have to live for eight to twelve years before you can return to your home. And basically, the Xi people are also monogamous and polygamous, but this concubine is actually a slave, a trophy, and a debt, but there can only be one wife.

However, he was still a little surprised that Su Zhi's daughter actually made a group of women's troops to participate. After all, it's normal to just organize some women to do some logistical support or something, but it's a bit surprising to really ride horses, war horses, real swords, and real guns and fierce Tongluo people.

"Look at it!" The time to send troops is almost up, and Yi Feng doesn't want a group of women to delay the business.

When Yi Feng arrived, he saw Su Zhi blowing his beard and glaring at a young woman. Under the cold moonlight, the side face of the Xiren girl looked very beautiful, she stood in front of Su Zhi, about half a head lower than Yi Feng, tall, with black hair, but there was no hairstyle like the Central Plains woman, but some more modern hair tied with the son, the long son was dragged to the buttocks, she had a very fair face, the long eyebrows were not thin, but the two slightly thick eyebrows looked very heroic. She has a straight nose, thin lips, and white teeth. He wore a mink coat on top of it, a leather robe under it, trousers tucked into the boots under his legs, a bow on his back, a spear in his hand, and a knife at his waist. The whole person is heroic, heroic, very young, and it is estimated that it may be Kedu's sister, maybe it is a sister, no more than twenty.

Seeing Yi Feng, Su Zhi said with some embarrassment: "Let Yi Feng laugh, the little girl lacks discipline, and the people of the mountains and the wild have been used to it since the little one." ”

When Su Zhi's daughter saw Yi Feng, she stepped over, walked in front of her, saluted Yi Feng first, and then said very calmly: "Our sisters also ask to participate in the war, and ask Yi Shuai for permission!" ”

Yi Feng had a great impression of this Xi girl, firstly, she was very polite, and secondly, she did not have any barbaric style that made him feel disobedient, and the big braid made him feel very kind. He smiled gently: "It is a man's duty to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend the family and family, if it is time for a woman to go to the battlefield, it is already a failure for our men." I know you're all heroic, but you're going to have to save one last bit of face for us men. ”

"Does Yi Shuai look down on us women? I heard that Yi Feng's wife was also the leader of the Yanshan Tiger Alliance, and she was a rare heroine. None of us are weak women, and the average man in the clan may not have beaten us. ”

"I know, I know. But women are born to be cared for. Of course, you can also contribute, but you don't necessarily have to fight for life and death with a sword and a sword, there are many things you can do. ”

"Do you have children, cook and do laundry?" Su Zhi's daughter snorted coldly, and did not buy Yi Feng's account.

Su Zhi glared at his daughter, and Yi Feng shook his hand at him, indicating that he was not angry.

"Of course it's more than that, in fact, I've heard that Su Zhijin has a daughter who doesn't let her eyebrows be a heroine among women, and I originally wanted to ask you to do me a favor?"

Su Zhi's daughter not only seems to know Chinese, but also seems to understand a lot, Yi Feng's words seem to be a bit of a drag She seems to understand everything, and even seems to be embarrassed for a moment. "Yi Shuai needs the little girl's help if there is anything, as long as I can do it, it's no problem, but please also ask Yi Shuai to do us a favor first, let us participate in tonight's battle."

"Why do you have to go into battle?" Yi Feng was a little puzzled.

She bit her lip and said nothing.

Su Zhi shook his head on the side and sighed: "The fiancé of the little girl Manyue died tragically under the knife of the Tongluo people a few days ago!" ”

Yi Feng sighed, war is like this.

"Don't worry, Miss Manyue, we will help you avenge this revenge. You better stay, after tonight's night attack, there will definitely be a lot of wounded. I'd like to ask you girls with quick hands and feet to help out in the medical team, what do you think? ”

Yi Feng and Su Zhi persuaded for a while, and in the end, many female warriors of the Xi people who were ready to participate in the night attack stayed, but Manyue and a hundred or so women resolutely refused to stay. These women are the most fierce female warriors, and they are also the people who have suffered the most deaths from relatives and friends in this Tiele invasion, some husbands are dead, some parents are dead, and some children are dead, in short, this group of women is full of hatred in their chests, and they can't stop it at all.

"Yi Shuai, let her be." In the end, Su Zhi also gave up the persuasion work, and helped to persuade Yi Feng to agree on her behalf.

"Miss Manyue, do you really have to go?" Yi Feng looked at this heroic girl.

"Yes."

"There are no eyes on the battlefield, just in case"

"I'm not afraid, Yi Shuai, if I can come back alive, I will definitely go to your medical team to help then." After saying that, Manyue walked back to his horse and stepped on the horse neatly.

Yi Feng waved his hand at her, this is a respectful woman.

"Su Zhiqi, it's almost time, let's go! I wish you a triumph! ”

"Open the gates and lower the drawbridge!"

"Open the gates and lower the drawbridge!"

The shouts passed one by one, and the iron-clad wooden door of the closed ice castle finally creaked and slowly opened. (To be continued......)
