This time, it was a strong attack.

Seeing that about more than 10,000 people dragged the door wood and marched forward, Bu Tongxin shouted badly, and listened to Xiang Commander still greeting everyone with great ambition, "Prepare bows and arrows to shoot!" ”

Bu Tong looked at the people outside, and only felt that this tug-of-war was difficult to fight, and looked at the appearance outside in a small corner of the city tower that did not delay others.

"This door knock wood is inlaid with iron sheets, I'm afraid it's very hard."

Chun Tao was worried, "Will those thieves knock on the door and come in?" ”

Mueller leaned aside, his face full of casual and unconcerned, and pouted,

"This is light, the gate of Yanmen Pass, do you think it is the gatehouse of your house? This is the design of the craftsman used by the imperial court, hundreds of thousands of pounds of heavy iron inlaid with the mechanism of ingenuity, as long as the inside is not open, even if the thunder falls outside, it is not hindered, this ordinary door knocking wood is also a gesture to deter. ”

Chun Tao listened to him with a smile, looked at the smug look on Commander Xiang's face, and turned his head to look at Butong, "Miss, go back and take him back to Kyoto City, I think this person must be a fortune teller, otherwise he can understand everything thoroughly." ”

Bu Tong didn't have the heart to laugh, just looked at the sergeants who were shooting arrows in front of him, and slowly frowned,

"If it goes on like this, it probably won't last long, and the arrows won't be enough."

Muller looked at Butong for a long time,

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Bu Tong listened to the shouts below and the shouting and scolding on the city wall, and his heart was also a mess.

"I didn't expect that the people of Beiliang are the most strong and good at fighting protracted battles, I'm afraid that if the frequency of this attack is high, our soldiers will not be able to stand it."

Under the city walls, many sergeants, carrying or carrying many wooden boxes, skillfully walked up to the various archers and laid down the dripping wooden boxes.

Xiang commanded everyone, "Everyone listen, this is the bow and arrow made for us by the people, the weight is a little different from the usual use, get used to it as soon as possible, and it will be of great use later." ”

Originally, for this, Bu Tong watched the sergeants take out a handful of "arrows" that had been drained and shoot them out one by one.

Muller spoke with some mockery,

"In the end, it is a major event of the national war, how can it be such a child's play? How can homemade arrows be used? ”

Bu Tong looked around and replied to him unceremoniously,

"How can it not be done? In Yanmen Pass, there are only so many arrows in stock, it is impossible to be enough, and now that the army is pressing, what can it be like if it is the most practical except for long-range weapons? The people are concerned about their homeland, and would rather stay and advance and retreat with Yanmen Pass than evacuate south, can't the arrows they make be used? ”

"That's it," Chun Tao chimed in, "everyone also soaked the arrows in the water, and the weight of the arrows was about the same as the real arrows, so they took it, and it was really usable." ”

Mu Le looked at the water droplets that kept dripping down the corners of the wooden box, and his appearance suddenly began to become strange, indescribably sad and tangled, and his voice was much lower,

"In the war, the most injured people are always these people at the bottom, the people of Yanmen Pass are innocent, and the Beiliang soldiers who were shot down under the horses on the other side are not pitiful?"

Bu Tong looked at the hurried and nervous archers in front of him and the constantly operating stone tools,

"It was those people who came to commit it for no reason, so they thought of such an ending, and it is not worth pity to think about it like this."

"It's just some people who have no choice but to obey orders," Mu Le followed Butong a little anxiously, as if he was eager to explain,

"What is the fate of disobedience to military orders, the county lord is naturally much clearer than me, what can they do?"

This is the first time that Muller has called Butong "county lord", Butong only felt surprised, and looked at Muller,

"Muller, what's the matter with you? We are now going to defend Yanmen Pass, do you want me to order you to go down and stop the counterattack? Or do you think that if we stop counterattacking, then the Beiliang people on the opposite side will be able to give up the southern attack? Spare the people of the city? Have you seen those people who have become refugees, the people of Beiliang have occupied the city, and even expelled those innocent people, so that they have lost the homes that their ancestors have relied on for generations, where are those robbers worthy of pity? ”

Mu Le was dumbfounded, but there was a layer of gloom between his eyebrows, and while he spoke, the Beiliang Army temporarily retreated.

In everyone's more exciting cheers, Bu Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and appeared out of thin air in January, looking at Bu Tong with a solemn expression,

"County Lord, an enemy army has discovered and reopened the Messenger Passage."

"What?!"

This is simply a bolt from the blue, Bu Tong and Xiang Commander, who rushed to hear the sound, were shocked in unison.

January nodded, "Originally, the Messenger Passage was a secret place, and the Messenger blocked the passage and fell the door sealing stone after the last trip into the city, but after all, the door sealing stone was much weaker than the wall of the copper wall and iron gate, and he didn't want to be discovered by the enemy and used the door knocking wood to reopen a crack, thinking that the next wave of attacks would open the gap from there." ”

Xiang Commander's brows twisted into a mountain range, "After all, it is a small gate that only allows two people to pass through at the same time, so there is no need to be afraid, and my subordinates will send people to re-block it." ”

"That's it," Bu Tong waved his hand,

"How can this be blocked, if the belly and back are affected by the enemy sooner or later, you will stay here, if there is not enough manpower, go to General Zhu to transfer, the current momentum is very good, keep in touch with General Xu behind, ensure that arrows, stones, these things are continuous, and will be able to hold Yanmen Pass, that small gap will be handed over to me, I will take people to block, the big deal is to come in and kill one, come in and kill a pair!"

Xiang Commander was in disbelief when he heard it, so he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but Bu Tong raised his head and shouted,

"The Dead Man Appears!"

Everyone appeared one after another, Xiang Commander and Mu Le looked at these thirty or so people standing in front of them instantly, their souls were shocked for two seconds, Xiang Commander looked at this group of people with powerful aura very shocked,

"At first glance, he is a master, and the county lord is really full of talents around him."

Unlike the joy of the commander, Muler's face darkened under the gradually brightening sky.

"It turns out that the county lord has his own merits, and he has hidden so many people around him without knowing it."

Bu Tong looked at him, his eyes were frank and sincere,

"If you want to help, you will follow, if you don't want to help, you will go down with Chun Tao to take care of the people who were injured by the stone, don't say something insignificant here."

Chun Tao walked through a group of people and hurriedly spoke, "No, Miss, I have to follow you, if there is any accident, Chun Tao will block the knife for you." ”

Butong sighed helplessly,

"You will only have a little more strength around you to protect you, don't come to add to the chaos, go and see how the people on the long street are injured, and take care of them for me."

Chun Tao looked at the group of people around her, and she could indeed take better care of Bu Tong than herself, so she agreed.

Bu Tong didn't look at Mu Le's indescribable expression anymore, and asked the commander about the location of the Xinbing passage and took people there.

In the corner below the city wall, there is a small platform for worshipping the sky, and the corner of the city wall on one side of the platform is a passage that cracks a gap.

Bu Tong listened to the sound of fighting on the other side of the city wall, so he hurriedly turned around and arranged for everyone.

"Everyone is a master, but there are only two people at most at a time, and we will be in a team of five, and the time of half a pillar of incense will be changed."

January looked at the people who were looking at each other, "County Lord, everyone is not embarrassed, and the people outside are not masters, so we don't need to rest like this." ”

Butong shook his head,

"No, the Beiliang soldiers are the most physically energetic, if they only attack one wave, they are afraid, they will wait for endless and frequent attacks, how can they withstand it? Listen to my orders, kill the enemy in a team of five, and as for the rest......"

Bu Tong looked around and pointed to the opposite side of the altar platform and the city wall, "Sit here to rest, watch the battle, and look for the enemy's loopholes and attack characteristics." ”

The last sentence is purely blind, because when searching for a place to sit down, Bu Tong met Mu Le behind everyone, and he was a little inexplicably uneasy.

The third wave of attacks is here now, and sure enough, this time the door-knocking wood is aimed at the messenger channel, but a few times, as the frequency of the outside impact becomes lower, the messenger channel is also completely opened, but the small space is too late to be disliked, because the remnants of the Beiliang enemy army who were eager to dodge the bow and stone attack hurriedly fled in, and were instantly killed by January, and the people who came in later looked at the corpses of their companions on the ground and a group of people who looked like they were watching the play cross-legged on the marble table opposite, and they didn't react for a while, was wiped on the neck by February.

Bu Tong took a few steps back a little and stood in line with Mueller,

"I think what you said is right, but the position is different, so if someone has to lose their lives today, then I will definitely choose the person on the other side."

The sky was bright, but there were droplet-like liquids falling down one by one, Bu Tong took a deep breath of moist air without revealing his scarf,

"Even the weather is so similar, you know? On the day of Mu Hewen's rebellion, I captured the rebels in the house, and their commander was begging for mercy, saying that he was just following the orders of the upper peak, and the military orders did not dare to disobey, but I still killed them all, and no one was left. ”

Mu Le looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Butong and said, "Why?" Haven't they already surrendered? A merciful and soft-hearted man like you should be forgiven. ”

Butong raised his head and let the raindrops fall on his face,

"Actually, it's not, but they are people, not machines, knowing that it is wrong to rebel, and knowing that it is a capital crime to enter the Nanguo Mansion, but just saying 'the military order is difficult to disobey' is a reason to make mistakes at will and not accept the result?"

Bu Tong turned his head to look at the corpses on the ground inside the passage,

"It's just an excuse to reassure yourself, and anyone who does something wrong will have to bear the consequences."

The blood slowly spread along with the raindrops, and the small area of land inside and outside the passage was red......
