Defense

Back on the city wall, Wang Qi knelt on one knee and said to Mu Qingfeng, who was covered in blood; "The prince is mighty!!" Not only that, all the surrounding Daxia soldiers knelt on one knee, and the voices of "Shizi is mighty" emerged one after another.

"Get up, brothers," Mu Qingfeng said a little weakly. "It's not me who is mighty, it's General Wang Qi, it's the soldiers who just fought bloodily, and it's the warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country!! We want to let the people of the grassland know that our Great Xia is not so easy to conquer! Let's take a break and stay until tomorrow, so that they can taste the power of our sword!! ”

"Yes!!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Please also ask the prince to move, tonight will not be the vigil of the son, leave it to me. If the city is lost, I, Wang Lin, am willing to engage in military law! Since Wang Lin insisted, Mu Qingfeng didn't make unnecessary excuses.

"Stinky boy, I warn you, if you don't listen to my advice, you will use up your foundation sooner or later." Xiao Langzhong said angrily while treating Mu Qingfeng.

"Xiao Langzhong is too worried, it's just some extraskin injuries. I have so many people to protect, there will be no big problems, but Mu Commander is in front of the charge, it is estimated that the injury is not light, and I hope that Xiao Langzhong will help more. Of course, Mu Qingfeng is very concerned about his body, you must know that the revenge has not been avenged, how can he not care about his own life. As for today's impulse, Mu Qingfeng chose to deliberately forget it.

"I'm worried about the world, the end will be fine, when the last general killed the thousand-legged commander, the little cubs of the green wolf clan were scared away. Nothing at stake. Mu Chongshan smiled as innocently as a bear.

A packet of medicinal powder was thrown on Mu Chongshan's big dark face, as well as Xiao Langzhong's cold voice. "Wipe the wound on your face yourself, otherwise you won't be responsible if you can't find your daughter-in-law in the future."

"Xiao Langzhong, don't laugh, with the physique of the last general and the identity of the commander of the guards, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law?" Mu Chongshan didn't care about Xiao Langzhong's ridicule at all.

"Don't be so impulsive next time, what should I do if you have a case? Or have you forgotten your promise to me? When Xiao Langzhong finished treating Mu Qingfeng's injuries, Xue Lian'er sat beside Mu Qingfeng and said quietly.

It was the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, especially Xiao Langzhong and Mu Chongshan were still snickering on the side, Mu Qingfeng felt that his face could not be hung up at all.

"What's that, if Commander Mu and Xiao Langzhong have nothing to do, go back and rest, you must be tired after a day of war today, so it's better to rest early." Mu Qingfeng said embarrassedly.

"We're not tired, you go on, go on, just when Commander Mu and I are not there." Xiao Langzhong smiled obscenely, and at the same time, Mu Chongshan also looked at the two of them with interest. He was very interested in the relationship between Xue Lian'er and Mu Qingfeng.

Mu Qingfeng saw that the two of them had no intention of leaving, and couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed. At this time, Xue Lian'er spoke: "You're not tired, I'm tired, I want to rest, are you sure you want to stay here?" The coldness of the last few words made several people in the room shiver.

"That, I treated the soldiers today, I'm a little tired, I'll go first." Xiao Langzhong was a little frightened when he saw Xue Lian'er's wolf-like eyes, and hurriedly said goodbye.

"In this case, the last general will retire, and I hope that the prince will have a good rest, and you must pay attention to your body!!" Mu Chongshan glanced at the two of them meaningfully.

"Get out!!" Xue Lian'er finally broke out, picked up the tea bowl at hand, and threw it away.

After the two left, Xue Lian'er was a little overwhelmed, and she completely lost her spicy and fierce appearance just now. Mu Qingfeng secretly laughed in his heart when he saw this scene, and quietly pulled Xue Lian'er to his side.

"Thinking about the Bull Clan?" Mu Qingfeng said softly.

"Well, seeing your battle today, I am worried about the Barbarian Bull Clan, such a powerful team of 1,000 people was actually defeated by 500 of you, and it was still defeated. If Hurbatu forced the rest of the Barbarian Bull Clan to be cannon fodder, wouldn't they suffer a catastrophe? Xue Lian'er voiced her worries.

Mu Qingfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Are you really a big win when we are? We went out with 500 soldiers, not to mention the elite guards of the Lingwang Mansion, less than 200 people came back, and even the guards of the Lingwang Mansion who had experienced a hundred battles were lost more than half. You must know that we can win today, and a large part of it is stained with the light of morale. The death of General Wang brought us a great shock, the soldiers forgot to die, and the commander of the rebellion led by Mu led the killing of the commander on the opposite side of the army. If in the wilderness, the thousand-strong team of the Blue Wolf Clan is adding horses, I am afraid that we will be the ones who will be wiped out. Mu Qingfeng analyzed.

"This time, Mr. Zhan tried to calculate us, use a small number of people to deplete our morale, and the result was self-defeating and defeated by us, I think he will definitely give up these senseless temptations and attack head-on, just like when Hanmu answered was alive. That day will be our really difficult day, you must know that our forces are already inferior, but we have a geographical advantage. As for the Barbarian Bull Clan, you can rest assured, that is, the elite of the Barbarian Bull Clan in the First Battle of Yiguan was lost, and the rest of the people were also locked in the cell, although life was a little harder, there was no worry about their lives, as for the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled, I think the Green Wolf Clan still can't look down on them, even if they are cannon fodder, they can't take their turn. After all, letting them fill the moat won't have any effect, and the defenders of the southern city will not be merciful to them. Hearing that there was no major problem with the Barbarian Bull Clan that she was most concerned about, Xue Lian'er breathed a sigh of relief, and found that Mu Qingfeng's brows were still tightly locked, and she couldn't help but ask; The terrain of the southern city is dangerous, the city is high and the walls are deep, what are you worried about? ”

"I'm not worried about our side, I just can't figure out a problem right now." Mu Qingfeng said slowly.

"What's the problem, say it and Ben Khan will help you think about it, you must know that Ben Khan is a smart person, maybe you will figure it out." Xue Lian'er said mischievously.

"The Green Wolf Clan has just been defeated, where did they get so much food to supply them to fight, looking at their appearance today, they are not in a hurry or slow, and they plan to fight a protracted war? Could it be that your grasslands will still conjure up grain out of thin air? ”

"You fool, do you know how to spell when we are grassland people, how can there be free food, our grassland people live a bad life, so we are not as civilized as you Daxia people, many things that cannot be solved have to resort to force, if it doesn't work, we will rob it, anyway, there are many grassland tribes, everyone has food and livestock...

Speaking of this, the faces of the two of them changed drastically at the same time, especially Xue Lian'er's face was as pale as paper. There is only one possibility that the green wolf clan has so much grain and grass, they plunder the rations of other tribes, and it is definitely not a small tribe that can support a big war, and the answer is about to come out———— the barbarian bull clan after the defeat!!

When the sun rose the next day, both sides were ready for battle, and the barbarians finished their formation under the city, and their expressions were solemn, and they did not pay any attention to the battle that was coming.

Not long after, Zhang Xianling came on again; "Listen to the people of the southern city, give you one last chance, there is no good end to stubborn resistance, if you open the city gate and surrender now, the Great Khan can still be blamed for the past, otherwise you will regret it!!"

"Archers in position!!" Wang Lin shouted.

Seeing the soldiers on the city wall drawing their bows and preparing to attack, Zhang Xianling was so frightened that he ran back.

Since persuasion was hopeless, Mr. Zhan ordered; "Siege!! Whoever kills the head of the city first will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 10 beauties!! ”

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the barbarians rushed forward like crazy for the reward in Mr. Zhan's mouth. The moat had not yet been filled, so they spread ladders on it and rushed forward against a rain of arrows. The archers on the city wall kept shooting arrows, and from time to time some barbarians were shot and fell, and at the same time, the barbarian archers below also brought a lot of casualties to the above, although these people left their horses, but years of grassland life trained their accuracy.

Finally, after paying a lot of casualties, the first group of siege soldiers drove the ladder up the city wall.

"For the Great Khan, for gold! Come on!! "A centurion cheers up his men.

"Brothers of Nanlin City, the time has come to test us, we are the last barrier for our parents, wives and children, if the barbarians want to enslave them, they must first cross over our corpses!! Great Summer!! Mu Qingfeng also shouted loudly.

"Victory!!" He was answered by a neat and loud shout, and in the same way, the soldiers who were facing the city to the south did not have the slightest intention of retreating.

A bloody battle began. The attack on both sides began on the first barbarian to climb the wall. A barbarian Ulala climbed the city wall, and before he could gain a firm foothold, a young soldier from the southern city pierced the barbarian's arm, which accurately pierced the barbarian's arm, but because his strength was too small, he did not push the barbarian down from the city wall, but aroused his blood even more. He pulled his backhand, and the boy was unconsciously pulled to the barbarian's side. The barbarian laughed, strangled his neck, and beckoned his companions to speed up.

The barbarians used the boy as a meat shield to threaten the soldiers in front. The boy shouted when he saw that his companion was unable to come forward because of himself; "Please!" He gritted his teeth and pushed back. The sharp knife pierced him in the chest, and before the barbarians could react, the boy used all his remaining strength to crash into the barbarian, only to hear him scream, and he and the dead boy who were already on the edge of the city wall fell off the wall. Subsequently, the barbarians and the soldiers of Nanling City were killed together, and the faith and determination of both sides suddenly turned the city wall into a sea of corpses and blood.

"Sakuragi prepares! Put! Wang Lin commanded in his somewhat hoarse voice. With his order, many barbarians screamed and were knocked down from the city by the sassagers, and fell to the ground and fell to their deaths. But there are too many barbarians, and quite a few barbarians have already climbed the city wall.

"Commander Mu, let the guards of King Ling go to support the north, the soldiers there are almost unable to hold on." Seeing that the northern city wall was a little unbearable, Mu Qingfeng, who supervised the battle, said.

"But the safety of the son... Mu Chongshan was a little embarrassed.

"Hurry up and get out of the old man, if you can't keep it, you just die outside, you still have something to worry about next to this kid." Xiao Langzhong rarely lost his temper with confidence, and beckoned Mu Chongshan to go to the front line to help.

Thinking that Xiao Mansheng, whose martial arts were still above him, was here, Mu Chongshan had no worries anymore, and led the remaining guards to feel in danger on the north wall. With the help of this new force, the pressure on the northern city wall was greatly relieved, and many barbarians who could not dodge were knocked down by Muzhongshan and even people with shields, screaming and dying.

The battle during the day was fierce, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers in the southern city relied on the geographical advantage, and the losses were slighter, but the lack of the total number of troops was a bigger problem, and the southern city would definitely not be able to hold it in this way.

The next day, the news came to make matters worse, and the scouts reported that about 10,000 old men and women were working day and night in the forest, and that battering rams and ladders had begun to take shape, and even traces of catapults had been found!
