Chapter 388: The Flames of War

readx;? The autumn geese return to the south, and the north wind is getting colder. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info//Fast update//

The cold wave formed a thin layer of frost between the corrugated trees, and the weather in Qingyun City became colder and colder, and occasionally a lonely lone goose flew south, with a miserable cry, and the sky was not as blue and white as before, gloomy and terrible, the sun had not shone through the clouds for a long time on the city wall that had been eroded by countless wars, and the cold sky was that the sun could not give people warmth.

Those Mangguo people who migrated from the grassland have long been accustomed to this kind of weather, but because of the frequent patrolling of the streets by demonic cultists, the old, weak, women and children can only move around in the courtyard, except for the demonic cultists wearing armor, there is no figure of the Mangguo people on the street, and those young and middle-aged people are stationed above the city gates. The people of the spear clan are very good at weapons, Su Qin ordered them to make weapons to defend the city, nearly a thousand spear tribesmen under the leadership of Hu Yiyu, created a trebuchet that is twice as large as the ordinary trebuchet, and there is also an arrow crossbow that can send fifty feather arrows, in addition, the spear in the hands of the demon cultists has also been improved a lot by the people of the spear clan, the spear head has been lengthened by half an inch, made into a prismatic shape, replacing the previous knife type, if it is not too short, Su Qin believes that the people of the Qilin military musket spear clan who have been intimidating the world can also develop it, and those people of the Mangguo are monitored by the demon cultists to use trebuchets, the reason for this, because Su Qin had already learned from the news that the spies had come back that a big battle would come soon.

Watching the people of the Spear Clan assembling trebuchets on the city wall, Su Qin then looked at the Adis Mountains, and unconsciously remembered the incident of going to the Adis Mountains a few days ago, when Makino took Su Qin and Hua Qingwu to revisit the place where he lived in his childhood, but it was only a year, those wooden houses on the mountain were already dilapidated, looking at the messy residence, Su Qin didn't stay long before rushing back with Makino - this trip was Hua Qingwu's attention, she wanted Su Qin to revisit the old land to see if she could recall some memories, but the result was not optimistic.

Looking back from the Adis Mountains, Su Qin's gaze fell to the south, the endless sky seemed to not know when the end of life was, although he couldn't see it, but Su Qin knew that the war in the south was urgent, thinking of this, Su Qin touched his chest, there was a letter from Ye Qiaoshui flying pigeon, the letter Ye Qianshui had urged him to lead his troops back to Ningguo as soon as possible, back to the rear of the war, for Lu Yu and Qiao Er's escape, Ye Qianshui did not hide it, knowing that Mangguo did not send an army to attack Yanguo after the defeat of the Yan army, Hua Qingwu also persuaded Su Qin to go south, so that at least it was safe, but Su Qin refused, as for the reason, Su Qin didn't say that Hua Qingwu didn't know - Su Qin had his thoughts, and he didn't plan to go back since he led the Demon Sect disciples, the reason was not only that Ye Wanshui asked him to leave when he met with Ye Qianshui, but more importantly, Su Qin believed that Lu Yu and Qiao Er would return to Mangguo and stay in Qingyun City, and Su Qin believed that he would have a greater chance of meeting them on the battlefield.

"There is news that Tianshui Country has sent a large army to suppress the border, and Ye Qiaoshui's side has already attacked the three cities of Yan Country in a row, although Mang Country and the tribe have not moved, but since they rebelled last time, the target is naturally Yan Country. Hua Qingwu saw that Su Qin had been silent, so she said out loud.

"The Tianshui Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom have a long-standing grudge, and this time they will naturally not give up, and the reason why the Mang Kingdom and the tribe do not do it is probably to deal with us. Su Qin said with a smile, after finishing speaking, looking at the thin ice formed by the water on the city wall, Su Qin stepped forward gently, and with a soft click, the thin ice was like lightning flashing, and it was split in an instant.

Looking at Su Qin's appearance, Hua smiled lightly, "You still have the heart to play this, isn't there a spy who said that the Mangguo and the tribe have already gathered troops to rush here?"

"It's not coming, it's already going, and if I'm not mistaken, I'll be under the city at dusk. Glancing at Hua Qingwu, Su Qin then turned his head to look in the southeast direction, when the Mangguo and the clan army arrived, how long could Qingyun City be defended?

"We only have 40,000 ......men here," Seeing Su Qinhun's indifferent appearance, Hua Qingwu said with some concern, "If the Mang Kingdom and the tribe do their best, they will be able to mobilize at least 200,000 troops...... How can you beat it?"

"For hundreds of years, Qingyun City has been guarded by the Qi family's army, 100,000 people have blocked hundreds of attacks from Mangguo, every time Mangguo's iron cavalry arrives, it is not less than the number you just said, although our number is smaller, but Mangguo and the tribe also have to guard against Yanguo, don't worry, they won't transfer all their troops, and ......" Su Qin said and glanced at the north, "Aren't we still able to run if we can't fight?"

Seeing Su Qin say this, Hua Qingwu nodded and didn't say anything more, and Su Qin walked towards Hu Yilu, there were nearly a hundred trebuchets on the south city gate about three hundred zhang long, as well as hundreds of arrows and crossbows, in Hu Yiyu's words, as long as the Mangguo Iron Horse came, the arrows and stones in the city would be fired, and the flies would not be able to fly.

"Makino took someone to pull the stones, I checked the arrows, Mangguo has a lot of inventory, and there is no problem in holding on for a while. Seeing Su Qin coming over, Hu Yiyu said to Su Qin.

Su Qin nodded, "Those clansmen in Mangguo are fine, right?"

"After killing a few people last time, they were much more honest. Hu Yiyu nodded, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted the trebuchet on the side, "I heard that there are many black fires in Tianshui Country, if I can get some of them, I will find something to put them up and throw them into the iron cavalry of Mangguo, which will definitely make them unbearable." ”

"Stones are already OK, still three or four stones at a time, so many trebuchets can attack many people at once. Speaking of this, Su Qin looked inside the city wall, "I have seen the sharp blades you placed on the war horse, which is very good, but at the moment we can't go out of the city to fight them, so ......"

"That thing is chicken ribs, just to stab the other party's warhorse. Hu Yiyu said with a smile, "Su Qin, put poison on the arrows?"

Hearing Hu Yiyu's words, Su Qin frowned, and then nodded, "Now is an extraordinary time, so use extraordinary means." ”

"Okay, there are some drama ******** in our spear clan, and when I see blood sealing my throat, I will order someone to smear it on the arrows. Hu Yiyu nodded, then chatted with Su Qin for a few more words, and then went about his own business.

Su Qin was fine and Hua Qingwu walked around the city wall together, the time was very fast, and there were constantly spies coming back to report the location between Mangguo and the tribe and Qingyun City, and when dusk, Mangguo began to camp ten miles away from Qingyun City, and Su Qin and the others on the city wall couldn't help but be a little surprised when they looked at the army of Mangguo and the tribe.

It seems that the old saying is good, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, Mo Xiao has learned from the past, and he actually sent so many troops over. ”

"I'm afraid there are no less than 150,000 of these, right?" Looking at the phalanx in front of him, which stretched for more than ten miles, the black spirit frowned and said.

"At least 100,000. Gao Chong on the side, after saying this, Gao Chong looked at the open space under Qingyun City, "I don't know if the ambush arranged by Hu Yiyu outside the city wall is useless." ”

"When they're rested enough, they'll attack, and we'll know when the time comes. Speaking of this, Su Qin turned his head, "Pay attention to those Mangguo people, kill them directly if they make a slight move." ”

The black spirit nodded from the side, "There are people guarding every trebuchet, and ......" the black spirit said and glanced back at Leng Hanyue, "I will follow the old Leng's attention, and gather their wives and children behind the city gate, if any of them dare to have bad intentions, it will be the families of all of them who will suffer." ”

Hearing Hei Ling's words, Hua Qingwu frowned, and when she looked at Su Qin, she found that Su Qin's face was a little gloomy, so she didn't speak.

"Let's get ready, let's see how many days we can defend Qingyun City. After saying this, Su Qin clenched his fists tightly, and then looked at the people behind him, "No one is allowed to retreat without my order, and those who retreat can be killed." ”

After Hei Ling and the others said yes, they dispersed, looking at Su Qin who was looking at the direction of Mang** Camp, Hua Qingwu suddenly had a question in her heart, "Su Qin, why are you risking so much danger to guard Qingyun City." ”

Su Qin shook his head, "I don't know, I just think Qingyun City is very important to me." ”

Hearing Su Qin's words, Hua Qingwu was a little surprised, thinking of what Bai Qi had said that Su Qin and Qi Luoge went all the way south from Qingyun City together, Qingyun City ...... Song of the Prayer ...... Hua Qingwu, who was faintly aware of something, nodded at Su Qin, didn't say anything, and then put the helmet in his hand on his head.

Just when Su Qin and the others were quietly waiting on the city wall for the Mangguo Iron Cavalry to attack, Hulun Qinghan and Su Mu stood in front of the military camp and looked at Qingyun City at dusk.

"Qingyun City once made the ancestors of Mangguo suffer, and every inch of land under the city wall has the blood of Mangguo people. Looking at Qingyun City, Hulun Qinghan said with some nostalgia, after speaking, Hulun Qinghan chuckled lightly and looked at the figures on the city wall, "Let this all become history." ”

"I saw him. Listening to Hulun Qinghan's words, Su Mu looked at the figure in the center of the city gate and said.

"He should have died a long time ago. Glancing at the disgusted expression on Su Mu's face when he spoke, Hulun Qinghan said softly.

Su Mu nodded, "He should have died when he was a child." Saying that, Su Mu clenched his fists and took half a step forward, "I should have killed him when I was in the tribe." ”

"Why do you want to kill him so much?"

"Because he's damned. ”

Silently repeating what Su Mu said, Hulun Qinghan suddenly smiled, "This is a very good reason." ”

"Su Qin wants to take the position of my patriarch when he enters the heavens, and he wants to eat swan meat and wants to go to Mu Hatyu, but it's a pity......" Su Mu said and laughed, "What if Mu Hatyu married the prince of Yanguo, and he just became the leader of the Demon Sect?

Listening to Su Mu's words, Hulun Qinghan glanced back at the soldiers behind him, "Since you want to kill him so much, what are you waiting for?"

"Warriors of the tribe, rush for me!" Su Mu turned his head and roared, and Hulun Qinghan also seemed to raise his hand and waved forward, and Mangguo Iron rode on the cloud ladder and rushed towards Qingyun City with the people of the tribe.
