Xiaobao knew that he was telling the truth, and he himself understood this matter, and he often blamed himself for being too kind to a woman, and many times forced himself to be ruthless, but when he saw this brother's tragic death, he still couldn't control his guilt!

It is said that if he is really the reincarnation of Emperor Xuanyu's divine consciousness, then there should be no such character, remembering that Lian Xin once said that the reason for Xiaobao's current character is that it is possible that there were some accidents when the divine consciousness was reincarnated, but what kind of accident it was, Lian Xin couldn't guess it, and Xiaobao himself didn't know!

"Emperor, military advisor, look!" a Xuan soldier pointed to the barren grassland in the distance in shock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two of them followed his gesture and looked up, only to see a pair of cavalry rushing over on the side of Dayu Mountain, the number of which was about a thousand horses, although it was not a lot, but the momentum seemed to be more prosperous than the previous two thousand horses!

Shi Wuce's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized: "It's the Yin army that is riding heavily! I said where are the nearly 1,000 horsemen, I can't imagine that the golden tiger still has such a trick! It seems that he is not really cornered, but seeing that his morale is low, he simply has a trick to mourn the soldiers!"

Xiao Bao also instantly understood what he meant, and looked at the thousand heavy horsemen with some admiration and said: "What a Golden Tiger Marshal! This move broke the cauldron and fought against the water, so that we took the initiative to withdraw to the Xianji, if my Xuan army is a little timid, if I am not careful, he may attack the city gate!"

Shi Wuce sighed: "What he didn't expect was that my Xuanjun would have such a good man who sacrificed his life for righteousness! It was Wen Xingda, Wen Gaoyang, and their nearly 3,000 Xuanbing brothers who disrupted Jinhu's entire plan!"

A thousand heavy horsemen rushed closer and closer, and it seemed that each horse was carrying something very heavy on its back. Xiaobao frowned and asked Shi Wuce, "What do they have on their horses?"

The distance was too far, and Shi Wuce couldn't see it clearly, but he could guess it, and said with admiration: "If my guess is right, it should be soil!"

"Soil?" Xiaobao was a little strange and asked him, "Where did the soil come from?

Shi Wuce took a breath and said, "Last night they didn't just fight the beasts, they also collected a lot of soil at the bottom of the mountain! Packed them in sacks and used them to siege the city! No matter whether there is water or fire in our moat, they can throw the sacks down and fill up a place, and then the army can attack from here!"

Xiaobao also took a deep breath, and said to Shi Wuce in a deep voice: "The five marshals, don't be underestimated!"

Shi Wuce nodded solemnly. [See the latest chapter of the book]

A thousand heavy cavalry had already rushed over, and as Shi Wuce expected, in addition to one heavy cavalry on the back of each horse, there were also many sacks full of dirt, and bags were thrown into the burning moat!

Another part was the booty of the Yin army last night, buckets of beast blood! It was also pushed down by the river behind the team, and buckets were dumped down, and suddenly a stench that almost stunned people spread in the air, and even the Yin army himself covered his mouth!

"Cunning Golden Tiger!" Shi Wuce covered his mouth and nose and said to Xiaobao, "It's a shame that he can think of it! This will make the stinking smoke rise and harm our Xuanjun!"

Xiao Bao frowned and paced back and forth, his right hand constantly drove away the stench lingering around, watching the soldier next to him cover his mouth and nose with his arm, and a corner of his shirt was exposed in his sleeve, his heart moved, and he said to the herald next to him: "You try to cover your mouth and nose with Xuanjia?"

The herald immediately took off his armor to cover his nose, took a few big breaths, and said to Xiaobao in surprise: "Tell the emperor, there is a smell of grass, and I can't smell it at all!"

Xiaobao was overjoyed and said to him: "Order the defenders of the city wall to cover their mouths and noses with Xuanjia to block the stench!"

Outside the city gate, a passage about a foot wide has been filled in the burning moat, which is like walking a tightrope for more than 200,000 Yin troops, so it must be widened! But now if you want to go back to digging the earth, it is too late!

In the barren grassland, Jin Hu stood on the top of the carriage and looked at the city gate expressionlessly, he seemed to be able to see Xuan Bao standing on the city wall, his eyes narrowed, and he whispered softly: "Xuan Bao, if I can't kill you today, I won't fight you again in this life!"

This enemy is too terrifying, if you can't kill him this time, you won't be able to deal with it again, so Jin Hu really doesn't want to have such a terrible enemy!

It was almost noon, his brother was still hungry, looking at the construction of this city gate, although it seemed to be in a hurry, but there were also a lot of preparations, if it was attacked, it would definitely pay a considerable price, Jin Hu gritted his teeth, and said to the herald soldiers around him: "Tell to go down, the dead soldiers fill the river, and the dead horses make food!"

The herald was a little stunned, it is understandable that this dead horse is making food, this dead soldier fills the river... Not to mention burying the dead, at least sending them back to their hometown can be regarded as a kind of consolation, but now they have to be used to fill in the river!

Seeing that the herald did not move, Jin Hu sighed, turned his head and said to him: "Brother, if we don't break through the city gate, all those who are still alive now will die, and the brothers who have already died will die in vain! Tell my brothers that if I die in battle, you will also throw me into the moat, so that I can finally make a sacrifice for victory! Because I am a soldier, fighting is my mission, and no matter where I die, I will die!

"Subordinates understand!" The herald's eyes were red, even the generalissimo dared to fill his body into the fire ditch, what else did the others have to give up?

"Look, the Yin army is burying the stove!" Many soldiers had sharp eyes, and saw that the head battalion of the Yin army on the grassland was burying the stove and cooking, and they were happy, it seemed that they wanted to eat enough to fight again, and their own gang didn't have to go hungry!

A soldier glared at the river and shouted, "What are they doing? These brutes! That's our brother's corpse, stop!"

Everyone stood at the head of the city, watching as the Yin army threw the dead corpse into the moat along the aisle that had just been built!

"I'll join his grandmother!" Gai Chi's eyes were red, he pulled out the war knife at his waist, and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, rush out with Lao Tzu and snatch back the corpses of our sacrificed brothers!

Thousands of soldiers on the city wall responded in unison: "Wow!"

"Stop!" Shi Wuce came to the side with a calm face, and asked Chong Gaichi, "Where are you going?"

Gai Chi pointed a knife at the city and said to him with tears in his eyes: "Strategist, look below, those Yin dogs actually threw the corpses of our sacrificial brothers into the moat!

"That's right, 10,000 pieces of corpses!" a group of Xuan soldiers also shouted indignantly!

Shi Wuce's face was calm, and he scolded them: "Give me all back! Now it's a war, and those who leave their posts without permission should be beheaded!"

Gai Chi wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "But they are burning our brothers' corpses! Military advisor, can you watch it? If you really want to behead me, then wait until I carry back the corpses of my brothers! I admit it!"

"If you die in battle, where do you want your bones to be buried?" Xiao Bao's faint voice came from the side, Gai Chi and the others were stunned, they didn't dare to come nonsense in front of the emperor, they heard the question, thought about it, and said to Xiao Bao: "I will be buried under the root of this city wall!

Xiaobao nodded, sighed softly, pointed out of the city and said, "They have done it!"

Gai Chi was stunned for a moment, but he was a little unwilling in his heart. Indeed, it is also customary for soldiers to die in battle, and to bury their bodies in horse leather wherever they die!

But at least it has to be buried, this was filled into the moat by the Yin army and burned to ashes, and the dead can't even be found, isn't that too much?

Looking at his somewhat angry look, Xiao Bao also knew his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said to him: "Everything that my Xuanjun brothers have done has been seen in my eyes and remembered by my brothers! Outside the city is nearly 300,000 Yin troops, if we go out and go deep into the enemy camp for the sake of the corpses of our brothers who died in battle, leaving more corpses, the sacrificed brothers will be difficult to look at under Jiuquan!"

Gai Chi was shocked, looked at the brothers around him, and then looked at the black and oppressive Yin army on the grassland, and knew that Emperor Zun's words were correct, if they went to snatch the corpse, it was likely that they would not even be able to snatch the corpse back, and they would leave themselves there!

They are by no means afraid of death, but abandoning the city and throwing themselves to death regardless of their lives is not what a qualified soldier should do! The most terrible thing is that one thing that he has done with his life is in vain in the end, and this is the most unbearable thing!

"Emperor Zun, military advisor, I was wrong!" Gai Chi knelt on the ground and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Please punish Emperor Zun and military advisors!"

Shi Wuce shook his head and said to him: "You are right, because what you want to do is also what I think in my heart! It's just that we can't follow our own temperament in many things, because behind us, there are still fathers, old folks, brothers and sisters!"

Xiaobao waved his hand and said to everyone, "Let's all go back and return to their respective positions." Looking at the city, in fact, these soldiers burned the most, and they were their own people!"

Indeed, in the morning charge, the Xuanjun army lost more than 2,000 people, but the Yin army was ten times this number! Xuanjia played a great role, slashing and chopping, fire and water immersion, could not penetrate Jiaoyi, as long as it was not a head injury, it would not be killed!

At this moment, the moat is still burning, and the corpses buried inside are already the clothes of the Yin army!

There was a burst of food behind him, and after a while, Que Wu, Diexuan, and Wei'er came up with a lunch box and said to Xiaobao: "Xianggong, it's time to eat!"

Xiaobao greeted him with a wry smile and said to the three of them, "Why did you come up? Hurry down, I'll go down to eat when I'm hungry, it's dangerous up there!"

Die Xuan pouted and said disdainfully: "What's the danger? Isn't it just that I'm afraid that the enemy will release cold arrows?"

Que Wu and Wei'er were startled, and quickly wanted to come over to support her, and asked in surprise: "Diexuan, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaobao's body flashed, stopped them, turned his head and said to Diexuan: "I won't let you come up, I want to go up, now I know that I'm scared, right?"

Diexuan covered his small mouth and gasped, "I'm not afraid, I'm... The meal is here, you two eat slowly, senior sister and sister, let's go down!"
