Song Nian hesitated and asked, "Shizi, if the city really can't hold ......?"

Ye Xun did not disclose the casualties of the soldiers, but Song Nian knew about it. After defending the city for a day and night, more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded. Now there are only more than 4,000 left, and looking at the artillery fire today, I am afraid that there are still a lot of shells.

Will they hold out until tomorrow?

Sure enough, as Meng Xingci expected, the Tatars attacked the city again that night.

The cannonballs rang out, and the people of the entire Suiyuan City stayed awake all night.

Meng Xingqi didn't sleep anymore, got up and prepared overnight.

"Dayong, you lead people to pour water outside the city wall. It's cold, and tomorrow morning a thick ice will form outside the walls. Chang Song, you take someone to transport the boulder! Meng Xingci commanded, she frowned: "I'm worried that if this continues, the city wall will not be able to hold it." ”

Meng Xingci was extremely glad that he had strengthened the city wall again.

The two took the order and left, Meng Xingci frowned, secretly thinking about when Dingyong Hou would be able to come back.

The sound of shells rang out again overnight, and the walls of the city collapsed at this point. This made the Tartars very excited, and they immediately sent men to climb the wall, intending to storm the city.

Fortunately, Meng Xing prepared early, the weather was cold, and thick ice formed outside the city wall. Those who wanted to come up from the ladder were also hit by stones. Under the city walls, the flesh and blood were blurred, and there was a strong smell of blood.

Meng Xingci also commanded on the city wall, "Quick, hot water, send hot water over." ”

"Someone is hurt!" Meng Xingci shouted: "What about the doctor? ”

The doctor is now also on the city wall, so that he can deal with the wounded as quickly as possible.

The women of the city did not stay at home, but came out to help with the cooking and bandaging the wounds of the wounded. Everyone is trying to defend the city, and they are all guarding their homes.

The Tatars finally stopped attacking the city, and Meng Xingci leaned against the city wall, his whole body paralyzed from exhaustion.

She looked up at the sun in the sky, and it was about to set again. The Tatars may attack again, but will they be able to hold on?

This was only the second day, and more than 6,000 soldiers had already been lost. The medicinal herbs in the city were rapidly consumed, and even the women went up to the city wall to help throw stones.

How long can they keep it? When will Dingyong Hou come back? It's a question that hangs over everyone's mind, but no one can answer it.

It was already the fifth day, and the Tatar offensive did not weaken, but intensified. The good news, though, is that they are shelling less and less. This means that they did not have many shells, but the Tartar soldiers began to storm the city in a frenzy.

Now there are only more than 3,000 soldiers left defending the city, and they are all fighting for a long time, and their physical strength is not straight. Even the militia had many wounded, but the Tartars had been attacking with shells for the past few days, and the fighters had conserved their strength.

They are grudgingly resisting.

At night, Meng Xingci walked across the city wall. The walls, which she had spent a lot of money rebuilding, were in a dilapidated state, but they were the ones who guarded the city.

Meng Xingci walked down the city tower, Ye Xun leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and raised his head to look at her.

Meng Xingci walked up to him, his armor was covered in blood.

"Why don't you go back and rest?" Meng Xingci asked.

Ye Xun saw her straighten up, "Xingci, you guys leave." ”

Meng Xingci frowned: "Has it come to this point?" ”

"I have sent three groups of people to Linzhou but there is no reply, I don't know when my father will come back." Ye Xun said: "Tomorrow the Tartars will definitely attack the city, Xingci, I'm not sure that I can still hold it." ”

Meng Xingci said lightly: "I won't leave." Of course, I understand that staying in Qingshan is not worrying about running out of firewood, but for the sake of the Meng family, I can't leave. The Meng family can't produce an eldest grandson who runs away, and if this matter spreads, the Meng family will be disgraced because of me. ”789

Ye Xun held her hand: "I know that you deliberately said this for the sake of the people of the whole city, if you can leave one by one, you will evacuate with the people, and it will not damage the reputation of your Meng family's eldest young master." ”hττＰs://()Ｔ/

Meng Xingci shook his head: "I can't go, if I go, the people of the whole city will panic." If the city is broken, we will die together, and there is nothing to fear. ”

Ye Xun held her hand, he knew that what she said made sense, and he couldn't refute it.

The two walked side by side, and it snowed heavily yesterday, and they made a creaking sound when they walked on the ground. But at this time, such a voice made the two feel at ease in the dark night. htＴρs://()Τ/

Meng Xingci raised his head and looked at the sky: "This heavy snow has made the Tartars' cannons dumb, but God still gave us a glimmer of life." ”

Artillery, a weapon of great destruction, is very delicate, and the weather is too cold, too hot or humid. As soon as it snowed yesterday, the Tartar fire never rang out again.

Ye Xun nodded lightly.

The two walked side by side and slowly walked towards the county office.

Meng Xingci said: "I can't leave, but Miss Han can't stay." This time she sent all the guards to the battlefield, and she was a very rare girl. ”

Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "You think about everyone, but you don't think about yourself." ”

Meng Xingci smiled: "You can help me think about it." ”

Meng Xingci rarely does such a little daughter, and Ye Xun's heart is soft.

He tried to protect her, but he ended up putting her in danger again and again.

Ye Xun sent Meng Xing to resign back to the county office, but he didn't go in himself: "I still have something to go back to the Hou Mansion, and by the way, I will arrange Miss Han's affairs, so I won't accompany you in." ”

Meng Xingci nodded and held his hand: "Pay attention to your body." ”

Ye Xun took her hand back, let go again, and turned around and walked into the night.

Meng Xingci looked at his back and left, Ye Xun is really a person who is very easy to make people's hearts move, which is completely due to his own charm.

A man who is responsible, courageous, and loyal to his liver is too difficult to dislike him.

Meng Xingci walked into the county office, she was a little hungry and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but she heard Song Nian and Ling Huan talking.

Song Nian said to Ling Huan: "If you can't hold it, Lord Meng and Shizi will definitely send Miss Han away, and you will go with you when the time comes." ”

Ling Huan glanced at him: "What am I doing with Miss Han?" I'll be where the adults are. ”

Song Nian was just about to speak, but Ling Huan followed and said, "My family will not leave." The tone was categorical.

Song Nian said in a deep voice: "So you want to die with her?" ”

Ling Huan actually said as a matter of course: "That's natural, of course I want to be with adults, even if I die, I will accompany adults and go to the underworld to cook for adults." After a pause, she said in a proud tone: "Adults only like the food I cook, and she is not used to eating other people's food." ”

Song Nian didn't know whether to say that she was stubborn and ignorant, or whether to say that she was loyal.

In the dim and damp mine tunnel, Lu Ye carried the mine basket on his back and the mine pickaxe in his hand, and walked forward step by step.

The content of the website is incorrect, please download the iReading app to read the correct content. The boy's expression was a little sad, and his eyes were focused on the empty space in front of him, as if he was staring at something.

From an outsider's point of view, there was nothing in front of Lu Ye, but in fact, in the young man's field of vision, a translucent shadow could be seen.

It was like the shadow of a tree, gray and invisible, with luxuriant foliage, branches parting from one-third of the body to the left and right, supporting a semicircular canopy.

It's been more than a year since he came to this world called Kyushu, and Lu Ye still hasn't figured out what this thing is, he only knows that when his attention is focused enough, this shadow tree has a chance to appear in the field of vision, and others won't notice it at all.

It's a tragic life. The boy sighed.

A year ago, he woke up abruptly in this strange world, and before he could get acquainted with the environment, his forces were overrun by a gang of thieves, many of whom were killed, and he and some other young men and women became prisoners of the gang of thieves, and then sent into this vein to become a lowly miner.

Afterwards, he learned from the scattered conversations of others that the force he was in was affiliated with the Haotian League, a sect called Xuantian Sect.

The name of this sect sounds cool and tyrannical, but in fact it is just a small sect that is not in the stream.

The one who captured the Xuantian Sect was the Evil Moon Valley under the command of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

The Haotian Alliance, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, is the two major camp organizations in this world, both of which are formed by the union of countless large and small forces, fighting each other with the intention of completely destroying each other, and it is said that it has lasted for hundreds of years.

In Lu Ye's view, such a battle is simply a confrontation between the orderly camp and the evil camp, and he was just accidentally caught up in such a tide of confrontation.

Over the years, wars have raged on the Kyushu Continent, and every year small forces like Xuantian Sect have been uprooted, but soon more forces have sprung up, occupying various territories, making the situation even more chaotic.

Mine slave is mine slave Lu Ye comforted himself, compared to those who were killed, he was still alive.

It is not that he has any special skills to survive, but that Evil Moon Valley needs some miscellaneous servants to do things, and a person like Lu Ye, who has no cultivation and is still young, is undoubtedly the best choice.

In fact, the mine slaves in this vein are not only the people of the Xuantian Sect, but also the disciples of some other small families and small sects.

The strength of the Evil Moon Valley is not weak, and it has captured a lot of territory over the years, and the original forces on these territories have naturally been destroyed, and some of the available manpower has been sent to various places by the Evil Moon Valley to be enslaved.

These people, without exception, have one characteristic, they have not yet opened their minds, and they have not cultivated in their bodies, so they are very easy to control.

There is a saying in the Kyushu continent that it is difficult for a demon to transform without opening his mind, and it is difficult for a person to practice without opening his mind.

If you want to practice, you need to open the spiritual aperture, and only when you open the spiritual aperture can you have the qualification to practice.

Opening the spiritual aperture is not a simple matter, ordinary people can open the spiritual aperture after systematic training, but about one hundred, if they are from a cultivation family or sect, with the guidance of elders, this proportion may be higher.

Lu Ye failed to open his spiritual aperture, so he could only mine in this dim mine to make a living.

However, the mine slave is not without a way out, if he can successfully open his mind and find the person in charge to report to him, he will have the opportunity to participate in an assessment, and if the assessment is successful, he can become a disciple of Evil Moon Valley.

However, there are very few mine slaves who can open their minds, and how can they still open their minds when they work all day long in this dim environment and can't even eat enough.

Therefore, basically ninety percent of the mine slaves have accepted their fate and work hard every day just for a full meal.

Lu Ye didn't have any sense of belonging to the Xuantian Sect, after all, as soon as he came to this world, the Xuantian Sect was destroyed, and he didn't know who those people in the sect were.

He also didn't want to be a disciple of Evil Moon Valley, this was not a serious force, just hearing the name gave people a sense of evil, and sooner or later it would be cold.

But you can't stay here as a mining slave for the rest of your life, what kind of system is it, but he is also an elite in the new era, if you don't have a dream, what is the difference between being a man and a salted fish.

So he has been trying to enlighten himself for the past year, originally he thought that only the shadow tree he could see could provide him with some wonderful help, but until now, this shadow tree is still just a shadow, no matter what help, sometimes it will affect his eyesight.

Lu Ye seriously doubted that there was something wrong with his eyes.

After turning a corner, a faint light appeared in the distance, which was one of the exits of the mine.

Today's harvest is good, hand over the ore in the basket, you should be able to get three points of contribution, counting the accumulation of the previous days, there are about twelve points, two points are used to exchange for two steamed buns, and the remaining ten points are just enough to exchange for a Qi and Blood Pill.

Qi and Blood Pill is a very low-level pill, not a thing to assist in opening the body, but if you want to open the body, you must be full of qi and blood, although the Qi and Blood Pill is low-level, it is suitable for people like Lu Ye who have not opened the body.

The reason why Evil Moon Valley is willing to take out the Qi and Blood Pill is not because of their good intentions, but because they are well versed in the way of people's hearts, and this cheapest and low-grade pill can make people with hope work harder and harder.

For example, Lu Ye is very diligent every day.

There were still thirty zhang away from the exit of the mine, and Lu Ye's gaze casually glanced at a corner in front of the left, where there was a boulder lying horizontally.

He continued to walk forward until he was about ten feet, and then he put down the mining basket he was carrying behind him, tightened the mining pickaxe in his hand, and took out a moderately sized stone from the mining basket, and weighed it slightly.

The next moment, he ran towards the boulder, approached the boulder, slid sideways, stepped on the rock wall of the mine road, and the whole person swooped down behind the boulder with the help of the rebounding force, like a vigorous cheetah.

The two figures were half-crouching behind the boulder, using the boulder to hide their figures, but they didn't expect that anyone would find their traces.

Hearing the movement, it was too late to see Lu Ye wanting to get up.

Under the frightened gaze of the two, Lu Ye raised his hand and threw out the ore in his hand, hitting the bridge of the nose of one of them, and the person immediately screamed miserably, and fell to the ground on his back, blood flowing from his face.

Lu Ye's other mine pickaxe shot again, but he didn't hit the second person, and the person reacted well and dodged with his head.

However, Lu Ye had already rushed in front of him, kicked down, and hit the other party's lower abdomen, the man was suddenly full of pain, fell out, fell to the ground, and spit out a mouthful of sour water.

Lu Ye stepped forward, grabbed the other party's hair with one hand, saw the other party's face clearly, and sneered: Who am I, it turned out to be you two brothers!

He knew these two people, they were disciples of the Liu family, and after the territory where the Liu family was located was captured by the Evil Moon Valley, some young disciples of the Liu family were sent here to serve as mine slaves.

Strictly speaking, the two brothers Lu Ye and Liu are also connected by the same fate.

The content of the website is updated slowly, please download the iReading app to read the latest chapters. Did I say don't let me see you again, or I'll kill you! As Lu Ye spoke, he casually picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it down.

This time the smash was not light, and the second child of the Liu family only snorted, and was directly knocked out.

Lu Ye walked towards Boss Liu, who had been injured by him before.

Boss Liu's forehead was broken, his eyes were blurred with blood, and he vaguely saw Lu Ye walking towards him, and he was so frightened that he crawled: Spare your life, my brothers didn't know that you were coming, and they thought it was someone else who spared their lives!

The two Liu brothers were sneakily ambushed in front of the exit of the mine, naturally they didn't have any good intentions.

Before these two people were arrested, they were both pampered, even if they became mining slaves, they didn't want to endure hardship, but the status of mining slaves was low, and the people of Evil Moon Valley didn't treat mining slaves as human beings at all, and if they didn't have ore exchange contributions, they couldn't exchange food at all.

Therefore, the two brothers often squatted in front of a certain exit of the mine road, robbing the lone miners, and many of them were unlucky, not only were the ore they worked hard to mine every day robbed, but they were also beaten half to death.

Last time, they just wanted to rob Lu Ye, but they were not opponents and were taught a lesson.

Unexpectedly, it was only a few days before I met these two brothers again.

The same rice raises hundreds of people, and there are people like the Liu brothers who are lazy and lazy like the Liu brothers, and there are also people with dreams like Lu Ye.

In the past year, Lu Ye's contributions through the ore exchange, in addition to ensuring daily food and clothing, have all been exchanged for Qi and Blood Pills.

In total, he took no less than thirty Qi and Blood Pills.

This has created Lu Ye's physique stronger than most mine slaves, although his body is not strong, but the strength contained in his body is already better than that of ordinary people.

Dealing with two lazy mining slaves is naturally not a problem.

Boss Liu was still begging for mercy, but Lu Ye didn't hear it, grabbed his hair, raised the stone in his other hand, and smashed it down.

After more than a year of life as a mining slave, Lu Ye has seen too many tragedies, and he has long understood a truth, in this world of cannibalism, any pity and sympathy are useless.

The miners are not all in harmony, and the miners from different forces are destined to be unable to unite, and for the sake of a good ore, the miners will often break their heads and bleed.

There were daily deaths in the mines, and every distance one could see a dry skeleton scattered on the ground.

There are not a few mining slaves who starved to death because they were robbed.

Boss Liu fell in response.

Lu Ye picked up his mining pickaxe, put the mining basket on his back again, and walked towards the exit, he didn't kill the Liu brothers, not because he was soft-hearted, but the injured mine slaves generally don't live long here.

After only a few steps, a person suddenly rushed in in a panic at the exit.

I don't care about you! The man snorted and swept towards Lu Ye with a slap.

At this moment, Lu Ye's body was cold, just because he saw a light blue light flowing in the palm of the other party's palm.

It was the light of spiritual power, in other words, it was a monk who shot at him!

Only by opening the spiritual aperture can one be qualified to practice and be qualified to be called a monk.

The monk's spiritual power is an extremely magical power, Lu Ye has seen a monk in the Evil Moon Valley make a move, although he is not too powerful, but that person just slapped a piece of ore with a light palm, it was only after seeing that magical scene that Lu Ye made up his mind that he must open his spiritual aperture and become a monk.

He had also secretly assessed that even if the cultivator of Evil Moon Valley was the lowest, he could easily beat ten of himself.

So when he realized that it was a monk who attacked him, Lu Ye knew that he was about to be in trouble.

At the moment of life and death, he stopped his pace and jumped backwards suddenly.

His chest was numb, the sound of a fracture sounded, and Lu Ye flew upside down and fell to the ground.

The sharp pain cleared his mind a lot, and he immediately got up after realizing that he was still alive.

Hey! The monk who made the shot was a little surprised, although he didn't use all his strength to slap the palm just now, but it shouldn't be something that the mine slave could bear.

Seeing the face of the mine slave clearly through the glimmer, he blurted out: Lu Ye?

Lu Ye had already put on a posture of turning around and running away at this moment, and he was also stunned after hearing the voice: Steward Yang?

This monk surnamed Yang was a small steward in the mine, and Lu Ye often dealt with him, because the Qi and Blood Pill was exchanged from him, so they were also familiar with each other.

Steward Yang is very optimistic about Lu Ye, after all, it is rare to see a hard-working mine slave like him.

However, if you are optimistic and optimistic, there is no special preferential treatment, and there is no enlightenment for a day, and there is an insurmountable gap between mortals like Lu Ye and monks.

After recognizing Lu Ye, Steward Yang was relieved that he couldn't slap the other party to death with one palm, Lu Ye had exchanged a lot of Qi and Blood Pills from him this year, and his physical fitness was already stronger than that of ordinary mining slaves, plus he just hit casually, and he didn't want to deliberately kill people, so it was not surprising that the other party could survive.

Opposite Steward Yang, Lu Ye beat a drum in his heart.

The monks of Evil Moon Valley generally don't care about the life or death of the miners, and they also know that the miners will often get into fights and brawls in the veins, so they basically don't pay attention to them unless they meet them.

Lu Ye just beat the Liu brothers on the head and bleed, fainted to the ground, turned his head and slapped Steward Yang, in Lu Ye's opinion, this is clearly Steward Yang is teaching himself.

Just when he was thinking nonsense, Steward Yang had already shown a look of surprise, as if it was a good thing to meet Lu Ye here, he stepped forward and grabbed Lu Ye's shoulder: Follow me! “
