Chapter XXXVII
"I heard that the barbarian army will be dispatched, in addition to Daru Huachi, who will send the supervising army, will also mobilize Wuqu Xingjun from the four major totems to help the army. Wu Xing asked tentatively, "I wonder if Dengba has appeared in White Horse Town this time?"
The expressions on the faces of the three barbarians no longer had the enthusiasm they had before, they just kept their faces on their faces, and shook their heads silently.
"Do you want to continue westward? You already know what you want to know, at least you already have a goal, right?" Ba said truthfully: "The Nine Rank Star Monarch can not live more than a small soldier on the battlefield of thousands of troops and horses, not to mention that the other party is already a Five Rank Star Monarch, and a little finger can destroy you! Besides, you don't have any security seals, and the city gate officials can't let you into the city. What do you do if you go?"
Wu Xing looked up in the direction of White Horse Town and muttered to himself, "My parents defended the city and died on the city wall. Uncle Zheng led his cavalry to follow the barbarian army, and although he saved more than a hundred civilians of the West Wind Country before and after, he was directly demoted from a seven-rank guerrilla to a nine-rank patrol because of a violation of military law...... For most of the half year that Uncle Zheng pursued the enemy, I grew up eating hundreds of family meals. Although the people in Hakuba later learned that my parents were most likely the big people who offended the Star Temple, they still secretly helped me...... Knowing that it can't be done is not to point out that you know that you can't do it and prefer to do it, but to do things without asking if you can, but asking if you should or shouldn't. Don't ask for results, only for the process, no matter what the result is, but ask for a clear conscience!"
Wu Xing's words were said in the lingua franca of the Starfall Continent, and the three barbarians were obviously able to understand it, and the expression on their faces turned into awe. Aside from the hostile position, the temperament of the barbarians is actually respectful of heroes.
"Thank you! I'm sorry!" Wu Xing stepped out directly from the three barbarians, and his right fist hit one of the barbarians in the abdomen, knocking it upside down and flying out three or four meters; The third barbarian only had time to take two steps back, drew his saber, and looked at Wu Xing in disbelief, not understanding why he suddenly attacked.
Wu Xing didn't hesitate and directly forced forward. The barbarian was extremely brave, and knowing that he could not do it, he pounced directly with his saber in his hand...... Then he was lightly flashed by Wu Xing, and he was also knocked to the ground with a right fist.
"I've retracted my strength, the three of them are fine, just lie down for a while. Wu Xing turned his head to look at Bagen, who had obviously guessed the former's intentions and smiled bitterly. The three barbarians crouched in the snow, like three steamed river prawns.
"Bagan, you can send it here. The remaining five miles still need to be completed by myself!" Wu Xing unloaded all the extra things from the four northern horses, strung the reins together, and put out a horse formation with a long snake, it seemed that he wanted to directly break through the defense line of the barbarian besieging army with horsepower.
turned over and got on the horse, Wu Xing stopped talking nonsense, rode away, and soon disappeared from Bagen's sight. It didn't take long for the barbarians' characteristic sharp and high-pitched bone whistles to be heard one after another, almost in unison.
.......
"General, this time, it should be that reinforcements have arrived, right?" The magistrate put up a pergola and looked at the barbarian barracks outside the city, and couldn't help but ask again.
At this time, it was already evening, under the afterglow of the setting sun, there was a sound of the horn of the barbarian army in the north of the barbarians, the command flag was waved on the watchtower, and dozens of barbarian horsemen rushed out of the wide open gate and headed towards the rear of the barracks.
Zhixian is a white and chubby middle-aged man, although he wears an official uniform, he wears a leather armor on the outside, which is a bit nondescript; First of all, although the reinforcements have not arrived soon, they have not yet arrived. Secondly, judging from the banner of the barbarians, there should be only two or three horses in the battle. Although the barbarians made a little fuss when they first dealt with it, they only sent dozens of horsemen to drive away the people who broke into the camp. ”
"But didn't the general say earlier that this time the barbarians were surrounded by three walls, leaving a way to survive in the south. Shouldn't the person who broke into the camp have already discovered this?"
"There are a large number of scouts and sentinels outside the barracks, especially the barbarian camp. Besides, if we really want to abandon the city and leave, we will have lost our fighting spirit, and our way of survival will become a dead end. After the general finished speaking, he explained a few words to the general on the other side, and then walked to the staircase on the inner side of the city wall, ready to go down the city. A white-faced, beardless old man, dressed in civilian clothes, followed the general step by step.
When the general came to the edge of the staircase, he could already see that although the soldiers at the foot of the inner wall of the city wall were waiting for the rest of the day, they all looked like they were in good time, most of them were closing their eyes and recuperating, and they did not even put on their helmets. This is different from the soldiers on the city walls who have clearly experienced the baptism of fire for days. If you look closely, you can find that the legion battle flag of the well-organized soldiers at the foot of the city wall is a black dragon on a white background, and the soldiers defending the city are flying at the head of the city with a black wind on a white background and a black wind battle flag on a white background. It seems that the Dragon Banner is a guest army and a reinforcement, but I don't know what the reason is that it has not yet climbed the city wall to fight.
"Lu Lao, do you think the barbarians are encircling the point to send reinforcements? The attacks of the past two or three days have been tentative in nature, and they seem to be covering up their true purpose. The general walked slowly down the staircase and asked casually.
The white-bearded old man replied: "The barbarians no longer blindly attack now, but prefer to plunder the civilians of the nearby villages, and escort the young and strong and women directly to the north, and then drive the old and weak as the vanguard, carrying sand and soil to fill the moat, so as to facilitate the siege of the city." This is the only way to demoralize the defenders. The nearby villages have not yet reported Baoding, and it is estimated that it is already more than lucky. Since the east and west sections of the moat have been filled in the first two days but have not been activated, it should be waiting for something. ”
After a pause, Lu Lao said again: "I know that the general wants to catch a big fish. However, be careful that the fish is too big to break the line and run away with the bait and hook. ”
"Do you mean to signal now?" the general groaned, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard an uproar on the wall.
The general and Lu Lao glanced at each other, then turned back to the city wall, and saw that the magistrate and the general were pointing in the direction of the barbarian barracks, so they asked, "What's the matter?"
He replied, "Some people have broken into the camp with horses." More than half of the dozens of horsemen who had gone out of the camp to drive away the campers had already fallen off their horses. ”
