Chapter 59: The Huns Attack the City
"Has the Loop been abandoned?"
Mo Li said two sentences lightly, with a thoughtful look on his face, he didn't agree with Daqin's idea of giving up the Hetao, because Yingzheng's temperament could simply give up any inch of Daqin's land.
Even if he knew that Ying Zheng had not given up on them, he couldn't tell the soldiers around him, because two months had passed, and Great Qin's reinforcements had not arrived.
There is no hope in the midst of despair, and no one can endure this torment.
"Believe me, Daqin will not give up on us, I will take you out of here..."
Mo Li's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists and reassured Meng Yi beside him, but his voice was a little weak.
Now no matter how much assurance there is, it is not as good as the reality of the arrival of the Great Qin reinforcements, but...
"Hopefully!"
Meng Yi nodded bitterly, he had no doubts about Mo Li's assurance, but the current situation made him see no hope, only a wry smile.
Who would have thought that Meng Yi, who should not have appeared in history, would become the defender of Hetao City, and he also became Mo Li's follower.
This is not at all consistent with history or the plot of Qin Shi Mingyue, as if it is combined with the plot in "Mythology".
Mo Li didn't feel good when he heard this, he himself felt that his words were relatively empty, how could he make the soldiers around him believe it!
He knew that there would be no reinforcements coming from Hetao City, because the scouts he sent had not reached Xianyang at all, and Ying Zheng had no idea what was happening here.
Perhaps, at this time, those who are secretly making trouble have already sent the "good news" here to Yingzheng, after all, the soldiers of Great Qin are invincible representatives of the world.
Now they can't wait for the arrival of Daqin's reinforcements, they have been holding the lonely city for more than two months, although Xianyang has not given up on them, but the current situation is no different from giving up...
"Hehe.... Lonely, incompetent, I'm sorry for you..."
Seeing the desperate gazes of the surrounding soldiers, Mo Li suddenly laughed miserably, he slowly stood up from the ground, and knelt directly on one knee in front of the surrounding Great Qin soldiers to express his apology.
Mo Li is responsible for the current situation, although there are calculations in it, but in the final analysis, it is caused by his carelessness.
If he could take all the uncertainties into account, perhaps the current situation would not have arisen, and everything had to do with him, the commander of the three armed forces.
"Childe, you can't..."
Seeing this, Meng Yi beside him hurriedly hugged Mo Li and didn't let him kneel, since ancient times, there have been courtiers kneeling to the king, and no king kneeling to the courtiers.
He couldn't accept Mo Li's kneeling, and the soldiers around him couldn't!
"Childe, no, this battle is not your fault, it's not our ability to fight, please stand up!"
"Childe, please stand up!"
"Childe, please stand up!"
"Childe, please stand up!"
"Childe, please stand up!"
.....
All the soldiers around him knelt on top of him, shouting loudly for Mo Li to stand up, they couldn't let Mo Li kneel down to them.
"You guys...."
Mo Li was stunned by the scene in front of him, he didn't expect these Great Qin soldiers to be so cute, it made him feel like crying.
"Fight to the death, the city is in the people, the city is broken, and the people are dead!"
"Fight to the death, the city is in the people, the city is broken, and the people are dead!"
"Fight to the death, the city is in the people, the city is broken, and the people are dead!"
....
The soldiers on the city wall suddenly roared, and the powerful sound wave after wave, the originally lifeless Hetao City suddenly became full of fighting spirit, and a momentum of seeing death as if it were home rose to the sky, so that the Huns outside the city felt frightened when they heard it.
As the saying goes, a weakened army will win, and that's it.
Because, Mo Li's kneeling salute directly turned the demoralized defenders into fierce and hungry wolves, which shows their determination to see death as home.
"You guys...."
Looking at the roars of the soldiers around him, Mo Li, a hard-hearted person like Mo Li, also left tears of emotion.
He knew that if Daqin's reinforcements did not come, these soldiers would die here, and finally become the dust of history.
Many of these people don't know their names, and some of them are younger than him, but at this moment, there is no trace of fear on their faces, and they are completely replaced by the momentum of seeing death as home.
This face...
How sad?!
Defend the country, but in the end you can't wait for reinforcements...
How tragic?!
"Soldiers, I will be with you, the Hetao City is here, Yinggao is here, the Hetao City is broken, and Yinggao is dead!"
Mo Li pointed the evil peachwood sword in his hand at the sky, roaring like a rainbow, to show his determination.
"Boom!"
When Meng Yi heard this, he directly stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword at his waist, and his eyes resolutely looked at the dense Hun army under the city wall, his voice was cold, and his throat was hoarse: "Swear to defend the territory of Great Qin to the death, and don't teach Hu Ma to step across the Hetao City!" ”
"Swear to defend the territory of Great Qin to the death, and don't teach Huma to step across the Hetao City!"
"Swear to defend the territory of Great Qin to the death, and don't teach Huma to step across the Hetao City!"
"Swear to defend the territory of Great Qin to the death, and don't teach Huma to step across the Hetao City!"
"Swear to defend the territory of Great Qin to the death, and don't teach Huma to step across the Hetao City!"
.....
At this moment, all the soldiers roared in unison again, and they decided to fight a decisive battle with the Huns, and absolutely not let them cross the Hetao City.
"Soldiers, this battle is not for Daqin, not for the king, only for ourselves, only for Hetao City!
We want to show those barbarians outside the city how our Great Qin people killed them..."
Mo Li roared.
Rumble!
As soon as this remark came out.
The Hetao City instantly became extremely quiet, and everyone's eyes were red, and they looked at Mo Li, the prince of Great Qin, in a daze.
They knew that Mo Li was ready to sacrifice himself, and he was ready to live and die with Hetao City.
At this moment, countless soldiers shed tears, even those people of Great Qin who came to help defend the city also shed tears, they were proud to have such a Great Qin prince.
"Fight to the death, never retreat, never die!"
"Fight to the death, never retreat, never die!"
"Fight to the death, never retreat, never die!"
....
"Childe has an order, fight for Daqin!"
Meng Yi took the long sword and yelled again!
Immediately afterwards, the remaining soldiers in the Hetao City shouted one after another, clenched the weapons in their hands one by one, and glared angrily at the Huns who had long since faded outside the city.
"Fight for Great Qin!"
"Fight for Great Qin!"
"Fight for Great Qin!"
....
At this moment, the Hetao City is holding the heart of death, vowing to live and die with the Hetao City.
"Soldiers, rest tonight, tomorrow I will take you to kill all those Huns!"
Mo Li roared.
"No!"
All the soldiers replied in unison.
"Ahem, Gongzi guarding the city can do without my West Gate blowing snow!"
At this moment, Ximen Fuxue walked out of the darkness, came to Mo Li's side, and said with a firm expression.
At this time, he had already lost his former demeanor, his face was as pale as paper, his white clothes had long been stained red with blood, and the stainless steel long sword in his hand was also scarred, and his breath around him was unstable, obviously seriously injured.
"Simon, why are you here?"
Seeing the person coming, Mo Li's serious face was relieved a little, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Childe is in danger, why don't Simon come!"
Ximen Fuxue said indifferently.
"Hmm!"
Mo Li nodded, looking at Simon's pale face and weak body, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes: "Simon, I have always handed over an important person to you, I hope you can complete it!" ”
"Childe, please speak!"
Ximen Fuxue's face hesitated slightly, and then asked.
"Hetao City has become an isolated city, surrounded by 300,000 Xiongnu troops outside, and it is obviously impossible to break through.
The scouts sent before have not brought reinforcements so far, and I am afraid that some people do not want the news of this place to spread.
Therefore, I hope that you will leave here tonight for Xianyang and tell my father the news of this place.
Let him send troops over to support as soon as possible, and in the face of the attack of the Hun army, we can only hold out for three days at most. ”
Mo Li said in a low voice.
"Childe..."
As soon as Ximen Fuxue wanted to refuse, he was directly interrupted by Mo Li: "Ximen, I know what you have to say!"
Don't worry, as long as I don't want to die, there is no one in this world who wants to kill me! ”
Speaking of this, a strong self-confidence rose up in Mo Li's body, which made Ximen Fuxue feel a little moved.
"After you leave, don't come back whatever you hear about what is happening here, just inform your father of what is happening here, and keep him safe by his side.
If I'm not mistaken, there is obviously a change in Daqin today, and this kind of change cannot be controlled even by my father.
And you, you must be careful on the way to Xianyang, since the scouts sent before cannot reach Xianyang, it is obvious that there will be countless dangers waiting on the way.
This is a healing elixir, as long as you take it, the injuries around your body will recover quickly, so with your strength, it is obviously impossible for those Xiaoxiao to stop you. ”
Speaking of this, Mo Li took out a golden elixir from his arms, handed it to Ximen Fuxue, and ordered him to take it on the spot.
Ximen Fuxue couldn't refuse, so he took the healing medicine on the spot, and then heard Mo Li's voice and continued to remember: "If my father didn't send troops to rescue him after learning the news here, you shouldn't be surprised, and at the same time, don't secretly investigate this matter, everything is waiting for me to return!" ”
"Yes!"
Ximen Fuxue didn't ask much, he saw that Mo Li's words contained other meanings, and it was inconvenient to say them here!
"Go ahead!"
Mo Li waved his hand to let Ximen blow the snow away, but there was no time to heal him at this time, because time waited for no one.
Besides, the healing elixir he had just given to Ximen Fuxue was all he had to redeem from the system.
You must know that in the battle between the two months, the inventory in Mo Li's hands has been squandered.
"Meng Yi, arrange for the soldiers to take turns to rest, the real battle will start tomorrow!"
Looking at Meng Yi's resolute face, Mo Li commanded softly, the soldiers of the Great War in the past few days have long been exhausted, if they don't get enough rest, let alone three days, they will probably not be able to last even one day.
"No!"
Meng Yi turned to the adjutant general beside him and ordered: "Meng San, immediately order, except for a few soldiers who are on vigil, the rest of the soldiers are all seated on the spot!" ”
"Yes, General!"
The adjutant general, Meng San, turned around and began to command from the city wall.
"Childe, if it comes to the last moment, I hope you can leave, and don't stay here and make unnecessary sacrifices."
Seeing Mo Li standing on the city wall and looking at the night sky in the distance, Meng Yi took two steps forward and said in a low voice.
"Meng Yi, where do you say that?"
Mo Li frowned.
"This time the Huns came to attack for no reason, and the scouts sent reinforcements for a long time, and there must be a conspiracy in this.
According to the conjecture of his subordinates, there should be someone in the DPRK who colluded with the Huns, otherwise it would not be so! ”
Meng Yi said.
In fact, the idea in his heart was to say that some people in the court did not want Mo Li to return to Xianyang safely, so they sent people to intercept all the scouts, so that the reinforcements did not arrive for two months.
As for who doesn't want Mo Li to return to Xianyang, in fact, one can guess that it must be those sons of Daqin.
But even if Meng Yi knew such words in his heart, he couldn't say it directly, after all, he was a courtier of Great Qin, and even if he had great merit, he couldn't talk about the royal family.
"Meng Yi, there is no need to have so many scruples now, I know what you want to say, it is nothing more than the collusion between the prince of the Great Qin in the court and the Huns, the purpose is to keep me here forever, so as to remove their threat."
Mo Li sneered.
He was very clear about what Meng Yi was thinking, and naturally understood his concerns, but at this time, he naturally didn't have so many worries.
Moreover, he didn't take those sons of Daqin in his heart, in his eyes, those sons were existences that could be tortured and killed.
"Childe, you..."
Meng Yi was shocked, he didn't expect Mo Li to know this, so why did he stay here.
You must know that Mo Li, as the son of Great Qin, no one will say anything even if he leaves from here.
"Needless to say, knowing too much is not good for you!"
Mo Li waved his hand, he didn't want to explain too much to Meng Yi: "Okay, you go and rest first, let me be here for a while!" ”
"No!"
Meng Yi glanced at Mo Li twice, sighed in his heart, and silently turned around and went down the city wall, he knew that Mo Li wanted to be quiet.
Looking at Meng Yi's departing back, Mo Li said to himself: "I never doubt your loyalty to Daqin, even to me, but after all, your surname is Meng..."
Mo Li guessed that the person who calculated him this time must have the figure of the Meng family, after all, the son they supported was Fusu.
As for the others, Mo Lizhong already has an eyebrow, and when everything is over, he will definitely find these people to settle accounts one by one.
————————————————
On the erection day, as soon as the sky was bright, the fierce horn of the Huns outside the city sounded, and countless Huns raised their spears and rushed towards Hetao City.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack ..."
"The Huns are coming, everyone get up quickly!"
"Archers prepare to attack, don't let them get near the city..."
"Roll the stone ready, burn the oil, teach these Huns a good lesson!"
"Lao Tzu wants to kill all these barbarians..."
.....
In an instant, the soldiers on the city wall became active, with fierce looks on their faces, and none of them showed timidity.
"Meet the enemy!"
Meng Yi, who rushed to hear the news, saw the Huns rushing outside, and ordered loudly.
The moment of decisive battle finally came, and he didn't know how much time he could still guard, but he knew that as long as he was in charge of guarding the city of Hetao for one day, he would definitely not let the Huns pass.
"Daqin's sons, let those barbarians on the other side take a look at the momentum of my Daqin's people!"
Mo Li's figure also appeared on the city wall, and after a night of recovery, his strength had not recovered halfway, and it no longer affected his attack.
