Chapter 462: A Lonely City in the Snow

"Damn God, when will this snow stop!"

In the military camp outside Beiping City, Li Jinglong cursed loudly, because of this heavy snowfall, it had been delayed for several days, and if he didn't stop biting the snow, he would forcibly attack the city.

"Report to the general, the spies have come to report, and the defenders of Zhengyangmen in front of you have suddenly increased several times."

Li Jinglong had just finished scolding when he heard the deputy general come in and report.

"How many times more? It seems that they have already transferred the armies of the remaining city gates to Zhengyang Gate, so that the defense of the remaining city gates will be weak. Li Jinglong laughed, feeling that now was the time.

"Haha, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochi, I heard that you are a horizontal meat, you really have no brains, I don't know if as long as you break a city gate, Beiping will be broken? Do you think I'm only going to attack Zhengyangmen? It's just whimsical! Li Jinglong suddenly stood up and said to the adjutant general, "Send the order to go down, let Qu Neng attack Chaoyangmen, and be sure to capture it for me before it gets dark!" ”

"Siege now?"

The vice thought that he had misheard, and now that the snow was falling so heavily, how could he take down the city gates?

"Hmph, what do you know, the defenders of Beiping City are only 10,000 people, and now at least half of the men and horses have been transferred to Zhengyangmen, where are the remaining defenders at the city gates? Now Qu Neng has 50,000 horses in his hands, and he can't capture Chaoyangmen after entering it, so let him come to see me with his head! ”

Li Jinglong touched a handful of stubble, took the helmet on the weapon rack next to him, put it on his head, and muttered, "Come out with me and have a look." ”

It was still windy and snowy outside, but fortunately, the military camp was stationed in the hollow, and if it was on flat ground, I am afraid that it would have been blown away by the strong wind.

However, this also increased the workload of the soldiers, and it was necessary to clear the snow that had accumulated in the hollows, otherwise there was a risk of being flooded by heavy snow.

But Li Jinglong doesn't care about this. As long as Beiping can be captured, what is it if the soldiers are tired?

When you come to a hill in front of you, you can see a lonely city in the wind and snow, that is, Beiping, which is this lonely city that gives Zhu Yunwen a headache, a lonely city that makes Li Jinglong think about it day and night, as long as this lonely city is taken, he will be famous for eternity, and it is not impossible to be named a king with a different surname.

Through the dense snow curtain, Li Jinglong could see above the city tower in front of him. Sure enough, it was crowded, and the number of people guarding the city really increased several times.

"Hmph, tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, Lao Tzu just didn't attack Dongzhimen."

Li Jinglong smiled, but the laughter was overshadowed by the wind.

At this time, on the top of the Zhengyangmen Tower, Zhu Gaochi looked at this group of people with kitchen knives and hoes in his hands in surprise, he never thought that at this time, these people would come to defend the city against the wind and snow, those who couldn't hold weapons. Meals were sent to the soldiers defending the city, although they were not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but they were able to eat this kind of hot meal on a snowy day, and the soldiers felt warm in their hearts.

Especially those soldiers who surrendered later. They had never been treated like this before.

"Mother! What are you doing here! ”

Zhu Gaochi suddenly saw the figure in the wind and snow, it was Xu Miaoyin wearing battle armor.

"I want to give the people courage, I must hold on until your father returns, and Beiping cannot be lost!" Xu Miaoyin climbed the city wall. There was a slight gasp, and the cold air entered the mouth, and it was immediately a shiver.

"Mother. With me here, it's going to be fine, you better go back to the palace and rest. Zhu Gaochi said loudly, because the voice is quiet, it will be covered by the wind.

"Yes, Princess! You can rest assured, we will definitely hold Beiping, even if we use our lives to fill it, we will defend Beiping for His Royal Highness King Yan, and will not let the enemy step into Beiping City! ”

A young man with a kitchen knife in his hand said loudly.

"Good! Good! With your words, I will feel at ease. Xu Miaoyin laughed, let the green screen take off the armor on her body, and then handed it to the young man, "I don't know your name, but I know that you are for Beiping, this armor is the armor worn by King Yan when he went to Mongolia, and now I will hand it over to you, you have to make good use of it." ”

"Also, this sword is also the sword of King Yan back then, I hope you will use it to kill the enemy and guard Beiping!"

Then Xu Miaoyin took the saber at his waist and handed it to the young man.

When the young man saw that the princess had taken off her armor to him, and that it was the armor of King Yan, which was a supreme honor, he immediately burst into tears of excitement.

After receiving the armor and sword, the young man knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Don't worry, princess! The grass people will definitely fight for King Yan to the last breath, and they will definitely not let the enemy step into Beiping City! ”

Zhu Gaochi looked at the young man in surprise, for his mother's set, he admired the five-body throw, in just one day, all the people of Beiping were mobilized, which is equivalent to increasing the defenders of Beiping several times, and now the hope of holding Beiping is great.

"Ahem."

After taking off the battle armor, Xu Miaoyin only felt that her body was cold, and she immediately coughed.

"Mother! Go back and rest, I'll leave it to me! ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly took off his clothes and put them on his mother, and asked the green screen to take back to Yanwang's mansion.

Looking at the back of Xu Miaoyin leaving, Zhu Gaochi's eyes showed fortitude, his mother is sick, she can be so tenacious, as Zhu Di's eldest son, what reason is there not to be strong?

"Soldiers! Folks! The court wants to arrest my father! I want to capture your Yan King, and I want to make our decades of hard work go to waste! We can't bear it! Now that the army of the imperial court wants to set foot in Beiping, can you agree! Zhu Gaochi shouted loudly, his fat body and thin clothes were so conspicuous in the heavy wind and snow.

"Can't!"

"For the princess!"

"For King Yan!"

"For the sake of the Son!"

"Defend Beiping!"

……

……

All sorts of slogans began to sound on the city walls.

A man's voice was small, completely drowned out by the wind.

But the voices of thousands of people, together with them, have already far overshadowed the wind, transmitted to Beiping City, transmitted to the other eight gates, transmitted to the outside of Beiping City, and transmitted to Li Jinglong's ears.

"Hmph, I still have to do a dying struggle, it's just beyond my strength, it's just a lonely city, when I break the city, see if you still dare to shout!"

Li Jinglong heard the shouts from the head of Zhengyangmen City, said disdainfully, and then asked the deputy general, "Is Qu Neng's army in place?" ”

"Back to the general, Qu Neng has already led 50,000 horses to Dongzhimen, just wait for the general's order, you can take Dongzhimen!" The deputy general replied very affirmatively, because in the current form, Beiping City has already deployed most of the defensive forces in Zhengyangmen, Dongzhimen must be empty in defense, Qu Neng has the advantage to be good at fighting, leading 50,000 horses, and he can't attack Dongzhimen after entering it, that is, God is helping Beiping.

"Now there are still four hours before dark, you go and give the order in person, either enter the Dongzhi Gate before dark, or let Qu Neng come to see me with a head in the dark." Li Jinglong said loudly.

The adjutant general's neck was cold when he heard this, he knew that although this general was not the material for a big battle, it was not ambiguous to kill people.

So he hurried to give the order, hoping that the snow would be lighter in a while.

A moment later, an earth-shattering roar sounded in the east of Beiping City, which had already covered the sound of wind and snow, and it was all the sound of shouting and killing.

"Commander, the enemy is about to attack."

On the wall of Dongzhimen, a deputy general said to Gao Ren anxiously, he didn't know anything about this Gao Ren, but he was the commander appointed by the princess herself, and he was to guard Dongzhimen.

"Don't panic, it's snowing heavily, the ground is slippery, it's easy to defend and difficult to attack, they want to capture Dongzhimen, it's not that easy."

Gao Ren has been in the army for more than ten years, following Zhang Fu to fight in the south and north, and also followed Zhang Fu to chase and kill the Mongolian army of 10,000 people with 100 people, what a big scene has not been seen, and now there are more than 1,000 soldiers defending the city, and countless people to reinforce, even if the enemy is 50,000? If the time and place are favorable, he can't still guard Dongzhimen.

But the lieutenant general was obviously a little worried, the 50,000 horses looked a little shocking, and there were human heads everywhere outside the Dongzhi Gate, densely packed, looming in the snowflakes, looking even more terrifying.

"Let the archers prepare, get the fire oil ready! Listen to my orders and release the arrows! Gao Ren gave the order in an orderly manner, and the deputy general saw that Gao Ren was not worried at all, and the panic in his heart was a little more stable, so he went down to give the order.

"Young master, young master, since you have foreseen today's major events a long time ago, why don't you leave some means, just one word, you can't save Beiping at all."

After the adjutant general left, Gao Rencai looked at the army in the wind and snow and muttered.

The spiky, Qu Neng's army was already approaching, and he received an order to attack Dongzhimen before it got dark, and at any cost.

Listening to the news from Vice General Li Jinglong, more than half of the defenders of Dongzhimen have been transferred to Zhengyangmen, and now is the time of emptiness, so Qu Neng is not very worried, he has 50,000 horses, even if he uses people, he has to pile them on the city wall.

"Pass the order! The whole army is on the offensive! ”

Qu Neng roared, and immediately heard a long horn, it was the horn of attack!

In fact, Qu Neng didn't want to attack on a snowy day anymore, but the coach had an order, and he couldn't help it, so he had to pay some more price.

As the horn of the charge sounded, the war drums began to beat, and Gao Ren on the Dongzhi Gate heard a burst of rushing and killing.

Seeing from a distance that some soldiers began to charge, Gao Ren's face was expressionless.

"Two hundred steps! Eight Bull Crossbows! Two rounds of salvos! Put! ”

With Gao Ren's order, the lonely city of Beiping also began its struggle in the troubled times. (To be continued......)
