Chapter 550: Another Year Has Passed
One year, another year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The war in Yanbei is still going on.
No matter how Hu Lu outside the border city tried his best, after two years, Hu Lu still couldn't break through this border city.
With siege engines, useless.
Catapults, also useless.
It's not that the Hulu won't build these siege engines, but they certainly won't.
But there are many Han craftsmen in their sphere of influence, and it is completely possible to bring these Han craftsmen to Yanbei, build them on the spot, and then attack the city.
However, no matter how much they built, they couldn't stop the destruction of the Han man in the city.
Every time Hu Lu wanted to use a large siege weapon, Li Mu would fly outside the city, and with his terrifying body, he would rampage through the Hu people's military formation, come to the side of the siege weapons that Hu Lu had built, and destroy these siege weapons that had just been built.
Over time, after trying for an unknown number of times, Hu Lu gave up the idea of using siege weapons, and only used the most primitive siege methods of the Hu people, climbing the city wall to attack this city wall that seemed to be impossible to take.
......
Inside the border city.
Li Mu took off his robe and armor, and rested in the mansion for a few days, washing away the blood of killing Hu Lu outside the city a few days ago.
The blood on the body is washed away, but the blood in the heart cannot be washed away at once.
In the past two years, he has killed more than 200,000 Hulu outside the city intermittently, from the initial pleasure of killing Hulu to the current numbness.
Like harvesting ears of wheat, the halberd swings out and slays a beard.
Not only him, but the two years of continuous city defense battles also made the Qianyu Wenwei, the women of the Han family in the life and death camp numb.
At this time, their initial hatred for Hulu has faded.
It's more for defending the city, for yourself, no longer for relatives, friends, family, those dead Han family members shoot the Hulu outside the city.
Now they keep the Hulu outside the city, and do not let any of them enter the city, in order to protect what they have obtained and their lives from being ravaged by the Hulu.
......
The Hulu outside the city was also numb, listening to the horn every day, picking up the bow and arrow in his hand and the scimitar at his waist, and launching attacks again and again towards this unbreakable city.
These attacking Hu Lu Tie Cavalry knew in their hearts that no matter how they attacked, as long as they didn't kill the devil in the city, the Han man who couldn't kill anything, they wouldn't be able to attack the city.
All the commands, the rewards after entering the city, are empty words, and they cannot be fulfilled.
But the Hulu Iron Cavalry still had to attack, as a year ago, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu said, this war is no longer a war between Hulu and this city.
Rather, it was a war in the entire Central Plains.
This border city was invisibly, and in the first year of siege, it already represented the backbone of the Han family in the Central Plains against Hulu.
Whether it is the south or the north, all the Han family members are watching, staring at this war.
The city was broken, and Hu Lu continued to hunt the Central Plains and ravage the Han family.
The Han family can only continue to endure the ravages of Hulu, accumulating strength in secret, licking their wounds, and waiting for the light before dawn.
If this city can't be breached, then all the Han families in the Central Plains will have hope and hope for regaining the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains.
Therefore, this is no longer Li Mu's border city, the war with Hulu.
The outcome of this war is destined to determine who is the master of the Central Plains.
......
"Childe."
Xiang'er soaked a sweat towel, then wrung it out and handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu took the sweat towel and wiped it on his face, this was his first nap in half a year, and the last nap was a year ago.
The reason why I was able to take a good nap today was because the Hulu outside the city had not attacked the city for three days, and the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding to stop fighting.
Sobered up a bit, Li Mu handed the sweat towel to Xiang'er and asked indifferently, "Xiang'er, how is the situation in the city?" ”
Xiang'er put the sweat towel away and said softly: "Childe, everything is fine in the city, all the Han women understand our situation very well, although our food is still enough for a year, but those Han women who are engaged in labor have already planted food ..... where they can farm in the city." ”
Thinking of this, she smiled.
"They said that although the food is enough, we must also plan for the future, we will definitely be able to win a big victory, and Childe will definitely be able to take our ..... of a big victory."
Li Mu smiled when he heard this, and looked at the peony that was blooming in the courtyard.
Xiang'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's just ......" ”
Hearing Xiang'er's hesitation, Li Mu turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" Say it, don't hide it. ”
"No."
Xiang'er continued: "Childe, although the food in the city is enough to eat for a year, we don't have many weapons to defend the city. ”
"Not much?"
Li Mu frowned.
Xiang'er nodded and said: "Yes, I have counted it in the past few days, and there are not many arrows left of the city crossbow and giant crossbow, and judging from the current situation of defending the city, it can only last for more than half a month at most." ”
"Moreover, most of the city crossbows and giant crossbows are also damaged, and some crossbows have no materials to repair."
"In addition, the Hulu slaves used to carry out the winch city crossbow and the giant crossbow bowstring have also consumed a lot of time in two years, and so far, there are only more than 10,000 people."
"On average, about 10,000 Hulu slaves die a year."
......
One bad news after another entered Li Mu's ears, and he had to start thinking.
It's just that just as he was thinking, a dull sound came.
"Woo......!!!"
Outside the city, the horns of the Hulu people sounded.
"Hulu has begun to attack the city?"
Xiang'er heard the sound of the horn and wondered.
Then, she shook her head again and said, "No, the sound of the horn of the Hulu siege is not like this, this sound is more like ...... Be........ ”
Li Mu pointed out and said: "This is the sound of the horn of the army. ”
"The sound of the horn of the troops?"
Xiang'er was puzzled: "However, Hu Lu did not attack the city, what kind of soldiers did Hu Lu collect?" ”
Li Mu said: "I'll know after a while." ”
He believed that the Thousand Feather Guards guarding the city would soon send news from outside the city.
Sure enough.
As soon as Li Mu's words fell, a thousand-feather guard hurriedly ran in.
"Childe .....!"
Without waiting for this Thousand Feather Tattoo Guard to finish speaking, Xiang'er asked anxiously, "What's going on outside the city?" ”
Li Mu said indifferently: "Xiang'er, let her rest first, don't worry." ”
Xiang'er nodded and stopped talking.
After taking a few breaths, this Qianyu Wenwei hurriedly said: "Childe, Hu Lu has retreated, Hu Lu has retreated, just now after a horn sounded in Hu Lu's military camp, all Hu Lu began to pull out the camp and retreat backwards. ”
"Withdrawn?"
Xiang'er couldn't believe it.
Li Mu glanced at the task progress bar in his mind and whispered, "More than 500,000 dead, are these animals finally going to run?" ”
