Fierce battles

"Great Khan, did you call me over so early, what happened?" When Mr. Zhan came to the tent, he saw Hurbatu's gloomy face and knew that something was wrong.

"Sir, this morning I received a report that the ordnance camp had been attacked, I went with my men and horses to take a look, and found that the whole camp was empty, only the bodies of our soldiers were on the ground, and those of the Barbarian Bull tribe were all robbed, and the direction of the footprints showed that they had lost the southern city." Hurbatu whispered.

Mr. Zhan was surprised for a long time and couldn't speak. He lowered his head and pondered, the expression on his face was cloudy, and after a long time, he said: "Great Khan, if this son is not removed, it will become a big trouble for our henchmen." It would be fine if he captured the people of the Barbarian Bull Clan and returned them to be slaves, but if he released these people back to the grassland, the harm to our Green Wolf Clan would be incalculable. ”

"A group of helpless women and children are just what kind of waves can they make." Although Hurbatu was also a little worried, he felt that Mr. Zhan was a little worried. You must know that without men on the grassland, you can't live at all.

Realizing that Hurbatu didn't care, Mr. Zhan shook his head: "The Great Khan has forgotten that the defeated Barbarian Bull Clan was captured at Yiyi Pass, and according to reliable information, they were imprisoned in this southern city, what if the Xia people let them go together?" ”

"Sir, don't be funny, we grassland people and Great Xia have always had a deep hatred, how could they release them?" As for what Mr. Zhan said, Hurbatu was still skeptical.

"You must know that we have violated the agreement between the tribes by raiding the Barbarian Bull Clan and capturing them as coolies, and maybe the Xia people will release them in order to weaken our strength. Coupled with the uncertain fate of the Golden Sword Khan, we must step up the siege. If these two factors converge, it will be very bad for us. From now on, we can't spare our own troops anymore, Nanlin City must be taken! "For the current situation, a quick solution is the best solution.

Thinking that his position was unknown, he sent people to seek the Golden Sword Khan in many ways to no avail, although the Golden Wolf guards were killed by themselves in order to break off, but as long as the Golden Sword Khan was not caught for a day, Hurbatu would not be at ease for a day.

"Pass the order, all the troops are ready to fight, we must conquer Nanlin City!!"

At the same time, Mu Qingfeng returned to Nanlin City with his men and horses.

"General Wang, please carve out a safe place for these barbarian people, don't let anyone harass them, especially the soldiers, if anyone violates military discipline, don't blame my six relatives for not recognizing them! To be honest, at this juncture, I don't want them to have any conflict with us. If we can repel the enemy's attack by then, let's let them go back to the steppe. ”

Originally, Wang Lin was still a little resistant, and he didn't understand why the prince did this. But when he found that on the way back, these people were quiet and had no intention of resisting, and he had a little faith in what Mu Qingfeng had said, these people might really be the trouble of the Green Wolf Clan in the future.

"Qi Yu Shizi, general, the barbarian troops have been mobilized, and it seems that they are about to attack the city." A herald brought the latest news.

Originally, Mu Qingfeng wanted to leave, but when he saw Xue Lian'er next to him, he said to Mu Chongshan: "I'm tired of Mu Tong and General Wang going first, I'll be there in a while."

Seeing that Mu Chongshan and Wang Lin had already gone away, Xue Lian'er came behind Mu Qingfeng, gently leaned on his back, and whispered, "Thank you for doing so much for me." You didn't have to take any chances. ”

Mu Qingfeng tightly held the jade hand around his waist, and said: "What do you say thank you for, I promised you to help you at the beginning, how can I break my word, not to mention that the Barbarian Bull Clan is not a green wolf clan, and they are not murderous, why don't you let them go, besides, I am a friend of your Golden Sword Khan, if you are a bare-bones commander, I will have no face." ”

Hearing Mu Qingfeng's quip, Xue Lian'er angrily pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and Mu Qingfeng, who was in pain, bared his teeth.

"Am I just a friend? Nerd?!! The Xia family is all cowards who dare not do it. Xue Lian'er pinched harder and harder.

"What do I dare to do? What do you mean ... Finding that Xue Lian'er was getting more and more forceful, Mu Qingfeng quickly shut up.

"Big brother of the Xia family, thank you for keeping your promise and taking me and my mother out of there." A childish voice broke the warmth of the two.

Mu Qingfeng looked down and saw that the little barbarian girl from last night was staring at him intently.

"Okay, don't worry about yourself and your mother being sent to the front line here, stay here with peace of mind, and when the battle is over, I will let you go back to the grassland." Mu Qingfeng patted her little head.

"Thank you, brother, the great god Gremu will bless you!" The little girl seemed to be obedient to Mu Qingfeng's words.

"Okay, you get out of here, Xiao Langzhong and I just stay here, many of them are injured, they have to be treated quickly, you don't get in the way here." Mu Qingfeng cared so much about that little girl, and Xue Lian'er was a little surprised.

"Where is this?" Mu Qingfeng left the camp with a wry smile and went to the front line.

When he came to the city wall, Mu Qingfeng noticed that the battle seemed to be different from usual.

I thought that the coolies of the Barbarian Bull Clan were gone, and the Green Wolf Clan would suspend the trend of attacking, but I didn't expect that after paying a huge price, they forcibly filled the moat. Looking at the dense corpses underneath, Mu Qingfeng didn't know whether the Blue Wolf Clan was filled with soil or human lives.

"One last chance, soldiers of the southern city, you have brought heavy casualties to the Great Khan, the Great Khan has been unbearable, now that the moat has been filled, you will immediately have no danger to defend, if you don't surrender, after the city is broken, the Great Khan will slaughter the city, for the safety of yourself and your family, hurry up and open the city gate." Zhang Daxian ordered that before the two armies fought, they were still engaged in a boring battle of attacking the heart.

He was answered by a neat shout from the south of the city: "Kill!!" Kill!! Kill!! ”

Hearing the firm voice on the city wall, Hurbatu said coldly: "Pass the order, attack the city immediately, after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!" ”

After receiving the order, the people of the Green Wolf Clan carried the ladder to the city wall under the rain of arrows. Although the people of the Blue Wolf Clan are tyrannical, they are unambiguous when they start fighting. From time to time, some people around them were smashed down the city wall by rolling stones and logs, but they did not shake their confidence in the slightest.

In less than a stick of incense, a few hundred-man teams became food for vultures. However, due to the disparity in strength, many barbarians climbed the city wall.

"Brothers, whether it's a man or a dog, it's up to now, kill me!!" Seeing that there was a gap in the city wall, Wang Lin pulled out his long knife, beckoned the surrounding soldiers of Nanlincheng, and pounced bravely.

Although he had experienced several battles, Mu Qingfeng thought that his concentration was not bad, but the intensity of this fierce battle at the head of the city still exceeded his imagination.

Perhaps both sides knew that they had no way out, so as long as they could stop each other's footsteps, both the Great Xia and the barbarians would not hesitate to die. There are not a few people who are still fighting without arms or with long knives pierced through their bodies, and even if they know that they are going to die, they have to pull an enemy on their backs. There was a soldier in the southern city, both arms were cut off, he knew that there was no hope of survival, and he slammed into a barbarian, ignoring the spear and scimitar behind him, and before he could breathe, he bit the ear of a barbarian alive. In the face of the soldiers of Nanlincheng who did not want to die, the people of the Green Wolf Clan also showed their resilience, and some of the soldiers who were badly injured knew that their lives were short, so they actually pounced on them and pressed down at least two Daxia people to the death, although the long knives of the barbarian soldiers who came later nailed themselves to the ground along with the Daxia people, and they laughed with blood in their mouths, like the reincarnation of evil ghosts in hell.

"Shizi be careful, I'm going to help." Finding that the situation was becoming more and more urgent, Mu Chongshan left half of the guards of the Lingwang Mansion and took the lead in joining the battle, and with a new force like Mu Chongshan, the situation on the city wall was finally alleviated. If the army of the Green Wolf Clan is like a sharp knife, each attack can leave a deep mark on the wall of the southern city, then the guards of Muzhong Mountain and Lingwangfu are like solid anvils, and every impact makes their long knives return in vain.

Mu Qingfeng did not participate in this battle, he would undoubtedly be a burden in such a fight, he was now paying attention to the distribution of the enemy's forces, due to Mu Qingfeng's accurate judgment, Mu Chongshan would always appear where support was most needed.

The battle lasted until the evening, and after the Blue Wolf Clan sounded the horn of retreat, the barbarians who had been fighting for a day faded like a tide.

The fierceness of this battle is simply indescribable, not to mention that the Blue Wolf Clan has paid a huge price, even the casualties in Nanlin City today alone are more than the sum of the previous days.

"I didn't expect the barbarians to be so determined today, even if they suffered such heavy casualties, they didn't care at all. If this continues, we won't be able to defend the southern city. Wang Lin said worriedly while scrubbing the blood stains on the knife.

"It seems that we have to think of a countermeasure, I'm afraid it's not a way to go on like this, after all, our forces are really not superior, we still have about 20,000 combat strength at full strength, but there are at least 100,000 on the opposite side." Mu Chongshan also expressed his opinion.

"I also found that the offensive of the barbarians on the opposite side is different from the past, several thousand people have been disabled, but Hirbatu has no intention of stopping, he just changed a thousand people to continue to attack, I am afraid that after the city is broken, I am afraid that they will slaughter the city to vent their anger." Mu Qingfeng voiced his concerns.

"So how are we going to do it?" When Wang Lin heard the word slaughter of the city, he was shocked.

"From tomorrow, please General Wang to start transferring the people, the opposite side is Mr. Zhan, he must be well versed in the truth of the siege of three lack of one, while it has not yet reached the point where the fish is dead, General Wang quickly let the people in the south of the city leave this place of right and wrong, how far can they run. As for us, how long can we last. Mu Qingfeng said.

"That's the only way it is, tomorrow I will start organizing the transfer of people, but I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince can transfer with the people, so that the last general can let go of his hands and feet to fight." Wang Lin made his own request.

"General Wang, don't laugh, not to mention that our Lingwang Mansion guards play a huge role here, if I take the lead in running away and being seen by the soldiers, General Wang is confident that he can hold on for a few days? I lost the heart of the army, and I am afraid that it will be a matter of the past two days for Nanlin City to change hands. Of course, Mu Qingfeng knew what Wang Lin meant, but he still shook his head and refused.

"But there is a case, the last general will not be able to explain to the prince, let the prince be in deep danger, and after the prince of war knows about it, he may not know what to say." Although Mu Qingfeng's answer was expected, Wang Lin still hoped that Mu Qingfeng would leave here.

"Hahaha, General Wang is too worried, I think even if there is a real case, it is estimated that we will all go underground by then, and the Lord of War can still chase you to Huangquan to ask you if you are guilty? Let's concentrate on the war in front of us, and if we hold out for one more day, the people in the city will be safer. ”

The resolute look on Mu Qingfeng's face made Wang Lin dispel the idea of persuading him.

While they were discussing the military situation, a herald stumbled in.

"Oh no, Shogun. A few soldiers from the prefect of Nanlincheng went to the barbarians to make trouble, and were taken down by the servant girl of the prince and Xiao Langzhong, and now the crowd is angry and is about to have an accident!! ”
