Almost everyone could hear that Ashina Bone Toru was buying people's hearts, but at this moment, no one could despise him. Hypocrisy sometimes needs to be supported by some courage, and those who remain behind need to face the soldiers and horses of King Qin who came from all over the Central Plains. In the last few days, the trumpets from the south have not stopped. The soldiers of the brigade either entered the camp set up by Qu Tutong and the general surnamed Li, or set up camp nearby with great fanfare. Every night, they light up half the sky with their torches.

"Even if Gu Turu Khan doesn't take the initiative to ask for help, Qimin Khan will leave him behind!" More Burkes were sympathetic to Bone Toru's actions. It's not a good thing to have too many strong male wolves in a wolf pack, and it makes sense for Keimin, as the wolf king, to kill a hidden challenger at the right time. But in contrast to each other's status, some Burkes, who have slightly greater power and territory, can't help but feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes. Therefore, when they passed by Gu Toru's side, they all tried to express their heartfelt gratitude.

"When you get back to the grassland, if you need my help, just ask!" The Tutun official, whose territory was only separated by a water from Bone Toru, whispered a promise.

"Thank you, Brother Huo, I had a daughter last year, and I heard that you also had a son last year. When they all grow up, our two families can kiss each other! As if he was still immersed in the tragic atmosphere of his own fiction, Gu Toru began to arrange what happened after him.

"Thanks to the Bone Toru brothers, your daughter is my daughter!" Huo Dial slammed his right fist on his chest to show that he had been trusted.

Gu Toru clenched his fist and pounded his chest first, then handed his fist to the fire pluck, and lightly touched the opponent's fist in midair. "When you return to the grassland, let's drink together!" Several other tribal leaders stepped forward and slammed their fists into Bone Toru's fist. I didn't care about the already blackened face of the Khan of Qimin.

The premise is that he can return to the steppe alive! Burke, who was walking side by side with the fire pluck, glanced at Bone Toru with the eyes of a dead man, and said in his heart. He was more concerned about the other party's wife, who was a famous beauty on the prairie. If Gutoru died in battle, and his brother and son were just unable to inherit his father's woman...... Thinking of this, Ah Shibi gently wiped away the saliva that was about to flow.

With all kinds of thoughts, the leaders of the various departments left one after another. They quietly pulled out the camp in the middle of the night, leaving behind the lonely city of Yanmen, which had been stained red with blood.

The first to notice the abnormal behavior of the coalition forces were the defenders on the city walls, who had almost learned to sleep with their ears pricked up during almost a month of brutal fighting. As long as there is a slight disturbance under the city, the soldiers on duty immediately wake up, poke out the holes with the tips of arrows, and use their bodies against the battlements of the city wall.

"Good sons, it's time to send the night again! So punctual! Captain Wu Yan laughed and scolded in a low voice. It is the usual trick of the besiegers to carry out a sneak attack while the defenders are tired, and they have to come here once or twice every night.

For half a month, the brothers of the Xiongwu Battalion who rushed into Yanmen fought a life-and-death battle with the foreign warriors on the city wall. Countless people fall every day. But this team, which had once withstood the rebels' attacks under the city of Liyang, once again proved their bravery, and almost every brother's life required the lives of more than three Hu people in exchange, and no one ever took half a step back. Many veterans of the Hundred Battles who joined the Xiongwu Battalion when it was established fell down, and many of the new Dings who were only incorporated in Liyang City took their place and became veterans of the Hundred Battles.

The veterans had many ways to deal with the enemy's night attack, but tonight none of them worked. After half a pillar of incense, the cacophony in the camp of the allied forces continued, while there was silence at the base of the walls. The same rain of torches and arrows did not appear on time. The enemy was still moving, and a dragon-like shadow could be seen under the hazy moon buds, but not to the south, but to the north.

"The Turks are retreating!" Bing Cao Wang Qijin suddenly woke up and shouted excitedly. Suddenly, he felt weak all over, and every muscle could not lift half of his strength. The victory came so suddenly, almost like a dream. For them, who had not planned to go down to the city alive since the day they rushed in, this dream that fell from the sky was simply too extravagant.

There was a low sound of discussion coming from many battlements, and everyone was not sure whether the scene they saw was deliberately pretended by the enemy, so they did not dare to talk about opening the city to chase and kill. But many people intuitively feel that everyone has survived this catastrophe and is not far from the day when they will return to their hometown.

The promise to return home was given by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and at the most critical moment of defending the city, His Majesty's eyes were so red that His Majesty once personally walked to the city wall to carry arrows and stones for everyone. He swore that if he could return to Luoyang safely this time, he would never mention the matter of conquering Liao. and also personally promised that as long as the city was held, "no official will directly remove the six products, and give a hundred pieces; There is an official buff! The dead shade their sons, and the government supports their families! ”

"Brother Qijin, have you calculated, if the Turks really withdraw, how many products can you do?" Captain Wu Yan crawled to Wang Qijin's side and asked in a low voice.

He hadn't gone down the city wall for more than half a month, and he exuded a strong smell of sweat and blood. Wang Qijin was so smoked that he was dizzy, but there was a thick smile on his face. "I don't know, the emperor said that the second gain, but he didn't say how to increase it. But even if I measure my merits in the normal way, I can at least move up two levels! What about you, how many enemies have you killed in the past half a month? ”

According to the military law of the Great Sui, killing three enemies can lead to a change in the honor, and the third transfer of the military rank will be one level. Since breaking into the siege under the leadership of Yuwen Shi and the general, the Xiongwu battalion has withstood at least more than 50 attacks by the Turks. According to the calculation of 1,000 soldiers killed in each attack, at least 50,000 enemy troops died under the city of Yanmen. At present, there are about 9,000 soldiers in the Xiongwu Battalion who have survived, and the number of heads evenly distributed to each person is about five. As a lieutenant who was ordered to command the defense of the city wall on one side, Wang Qijin also has the credit of commanding properly. If all kinds of combat functions are truthfully accumulated and reported, his military rank after promotion is at least an eagle general.

"I don't get as much credit as you do!" Wu Yan thought about it and replied with a look full of longing. "I remember on the first day, I cut down three of them from the city. I also overturned the ladder once, but I don't know if the person above fell to his death or not. In the next few days, I didn't care about counting, and I mostly used arrows to shoot, and I couldn't see where the other party's injuries were. But you can always get one in three days. ”

He snapped his fingers, lest he miss them. "Three, plus five, plus two! I killed at least ten Turks, alas! He shouted. After the excitement, I felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that I'm already a captain, at most I will be promoted to another level." It's good that those of them don't have official positions, the emperor said that they will be promoted directly to the sixth grade, and they will be captains all of a sudden! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you official fan! It's a pig's brain. The emperor said that if he was promoted to the sixth rank, he did not necessarily all of them were promoted to captains. How many officers and soldiers are there in the entire Great Sui, and more than 9,000 school captains, where will we put the Xiongwu battalion! Wang Qijin punched Wu Yan with a smile and shouted.

Wu Yan turned his head and looked around. There were also soldiers on night duty on several other walls who were awakened by the noise outside the city, and the tip of the knife flashed a little chill under the crescent moon. "Isn't it, more than 9,000 captains, how many soldiers do you have to bring it?" This is an incomparably large number, and Wu Yan's fingers are not enough. After a long time, he patted his cold helmet and sighed, "Maybe the emperor didn't expect that we would have so many brothers survive in the end!" ”

In an instant, the starlight falling from the sky was actually a little cold. It was so cold that a few soldiers around him who were chirping and dreaming of getting promoted and making a fortune all closed their mouths. "Don't talk nonsense, beware of being heard!" After a while, Wang Qijin's voice sounded again, exhausted.

The emperor is fooling us again, or he wants more people to die in battle! Though they all kept their lips shut, the anger spread like a flame throughout the city walls. Everyone suddenly regretted why they were so brave in the first place, such a faint king, let him be captured by the Turks, so as to save him from continuing to create evil!

The emperor didn't expect that so many brothers would survive in the end, so he gave everyone the title of Liupinguan. When he found out that so many brothers had survived, he would have repented! Everyone guessed the final outcome, but they dared not speak. They are just ordinary soldiers, and they can't see the shadow of ordinary royal chariots. Not to mention that he went up to protest to the emperor. Any official can take them away, whip them, or even execute them summarily. The knives in their hands can protect the country, but they can't protect themselves.

"It would be nice if General Li was still here, he would definitely do his best to fight for everyone!" Someone sighed and put down his bow and arrows, and lay down on his back facing the sky. He could see the night sky that was unique to the plug, and because the moon had only one bud, the stars were as big as a bucket. Due north, there is one of the brightest stars, almost losing the color of the vast Milky Way.

"When General Li was still in the Xiongwu Battalion, he casually and easily did not make promises, but he never lied to everyone!" Wu Yan also put away his weapons and lay down on the head of the city. The battle was over, and the usefulness of the group to the court came to an end. As for how the court fulfilled the promise of the day, the brothers could not interfere. So instead of thinking about that, it's better to get some sleep first. As for the Turks under the city, they will run far away! What do you have to do with us soldiers?

The mood instantly fell from the peak of excitement to the trough of depression, leaving many people exhausted. They lay down one after another, no longer caring about the enemy situation outside the city, and were not prepared to report to their superiors the news of the retreat of the troops and horses outside the city. Many people remembered the Liyang Garrison that day, and it is said that General Li was driven out of the Xiongwu camp by Yuwenshu because he privately distributed military rations as a reward to the brothers. It's been more than two years, and the generals of that year have left, and they have died in battle. Now the core of the Xiongwu camp is almost all people from the Yuwen family, and each one is more hateful than the other.

"I have a way, maybe I can get General Li back!" Under the battlements, a voice suddenly muttered, not much bigger than a cricket.
