(Foreword)
Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

No one spoke, but everyone's faces were solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy.
As things stand, it is imperative that we quickly identify the number of troops lost, and every soldier is very precious to us now. The second is to analyze what you already know.
"It seems that we are not dealing with an ordinary wall, except for the towering ramparts, the rocks on the wall can move at any time, which is a headache for any siege machine." I've done a rough analysis of the current situation.
"So even if our infantry wanted to attack the city, they wouldn't be able to get close to the walls." Lin Yun was right, the enemy's blades could inflict great damage on our soldiers through the cracks in the rocks.
"But, I ...... Neither are our bows and arrows...... It's not that the attack doesn't ...... Not to him...... Are they? "Although Hu Zaide stammered, he can say that it is the biggest problem we are facing now.
The enemy fully occupies the advantageous position, and the towering city wall is not only a strong fortress, but also forms a high and low potential energy, even if the longbow of both sides is of the same material, the distance and power of the bow and arrow are also very different.
"In this way, the infantry of our army is unable to move an inch, and the archers are beyond the reach of the dust. What can I do? Professor Twilight looked depressed.
There was no progress in this discussion, and by the time I left the tent, it was already dark.
At this time, a sergeant hurried towards me, and by the light of the fire, I recognized this soldier as the lieutenant general of General Wu Ban in today's battle. But if you look closely, this appearance is so familiar, but when the words come to your mouth, you just can't remember the name of this person.
"General Cheng, under the command of the vanguard general Wu Ban, is the deputy general, surnamed Xiao, the name is dusk, and the word is night. Meet the General. It turned out that the person who spoke was the young man who was competing with Wu Ban in the martial arts arena at that time, no wonder he was so familiar.
"Adjutant General Xiao, I don't know if there's anything important to find me?" I asked.
"Exactly, but there are important things to discuss, General Wu is now seriously injured and does not wake up, the army can not be without a general for a day, become a general loyalty, risk ten thousand arrows, rescue General Wu, the last general is very grateful, although there are heavy losses today, there are more than 20,000 soldiers left, and I am willing to listen to the general's orders." Twilight said.
In this way, I originally had 50,000 elite soldiers, plus 20,000 soldiers from Wu Ban, which means that we now have a total of 70,000 male soldiers.
"In the next, be grateful and disrespectful, and do your best." Before I could finish speaking, I was stopped by Twilight.
"The general's words are serious, and the last general is willing to be the general's pawn, charging into battle, and he will not hesitate." Twilight turned and left.
The moonlight poured down on the earth, the stars were in the sky, and I came alone to the fire, and the flickering flames flickered left and right in front of me in the direction of the evening breeze.
I approached the fire and felt a burst of warmth, the enemy's city walls appeared in my mind from time to time, just to get the information that the city wall could be moved, it cost me 10,000 soldiers, I couldn't bear to think of this...
Just when I was worried about today's war, suddenly a few people came and sat on the ground by the fire. I looked at them and saw that these people were none other than qin, chess, calligraphy, painting and blacksmiths, and when I saw them, all the questions in my heart suddenly came to my mind.
"I haven't seen you for many days, if it weren't for your help today, how could General Wu and I be able to retreat." I said.
"Cheng Shaoxia, this is a bad word, if you hadn't trapped Wu General Gan Xingba that day, how could a few of us leave Jiangling City." It was Li Huayi who spoke.
"Where, where. It was also to help me that you broke through the gates of Gangneung Fortress. I excused myself. But after they left Gangneung City, where did they go? How did it appear on the battlefield in Yiling Pass? ”
"After the few of us left Gangneung City, we searched for a healer in a town, and he was a skilled healer, and the blacksmith was soon cured." Mo Qifeng paused as he spoke, and then continued: "We wanted to stay in the town for a little longer, first, to help the blacksmith recuperate, and second, to wait for the young man to come. ”
"But after I left Jiangling City, I didn't find any trace of you, so I had no choice but to wander around, but I didn't expect to meet a few friends." I told them in detail what happened next.
"I didn't expect Shaoxia to really find Liu Xuande, and he was appointed and dismissed as a general in the army, he is really young and promising." The blacksmith said.
"It's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence." I excused myself.
"Speaking of which, I still have a few things in doubt, I wonder if you can mention one or two." I asked respectfully.
"That's what to say, Shaoxia but it doesn't matter, I'll tell you the truth." The blacksmith is still so heroic.
"Su Qinyu, isn't your 'Tianyouqin' shattered? Why do I still hear your piano on the battlefield today? I looked at Su Qinyu.
"You don't think I only have one guqin, do you? It's not always available. It's just that... It's not as easy as before. It can be seen from Su Qinyu's expression that she still likes 'Tianyouqin' quite a lot.
"Indeed, the timbre of 'Tianyouqin' is more quiet, like an aftersound, endless." I couldn't help but be amazed.
"Shaoxia, it's too dangerous on the battlefield today, if we take a step late, it's really unimaginable." The blacksmith's words reminded me that there was one more thing that puzzled me on the battlefield today.
"Blacksmith, you saved me with the 'Dragon Shield?' I asked.
"Shaoxia's good eyesight is indeed a 'ghost dragon shield'." The blacksmith's answer was not surprising, but I always felt that something was wrong.
"Blacksmith, why is this 'Ghost Dragon Shield' different from what I've seen before?" The previous 'Phantom Dragon Shield' had many slender gaps, like shutters. But there is no gap in the current 'Ghost Dragon Shield', why is this?
"Young man, don't be surprised, the blacksmith is indeed holding the 'Ghost Dragon Shield'." Mo Qifeng said to me slowly.
"But shouldn't there be many slender gaps on the 'Phantom Dragon Shield'? Why is it not now? I asked anxiously.
"It seems that Shaoxia only knows that these four blades are the heirloom blades of this sect, but he doesn't know that there is a secret on each of these blades." Mo Qifeng is slightly mysterious.
Each of these blades actually has a secret on it, it seems that these four blades are not only powerful on the outside, but each blade contains the wisdom of the forger.
