Song Daniu staggered to his feet, hunched over through the battlements, and saw that the Hu people who had just attacked the city had retreated to a hundred steps away.

The foot of the city was littered with the corpses and wounded of the Hu people, and there were screams and wails everywhere.

But when he looked back, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

There were hardly any Ming people who could stand at the head of the city, and the former brothers were either lying on the ground or sitting on the ground, and only a few, like him, were staggering, holding their bodies on the ground with spears like long knives.

"Ergouzi, you're not dead yet." Song Daniu suddenly laughed.

Hao Ergou was sitting on the ground, his head bowed, his hat was gone, and the back of his head was still bleeding.

Hearing Song Daniu call him, he slowly raised his head, opened his mouth slightly, and the corners of his mouth were full of blood spurting out: "Special mother, you don't die in Baihu,-—— how can I die first-"

"Dog, can you still fight?" Song Daniu laughed and scolded.

"Of course you can-hit-ah--ah--" Hao Ergou propped his hands on the ground, slowly exerting force, and soon supported his body again.

"You go downstairs, and when you hear an explosion above, you are ready to -—— a fire - burn the castle gate-——" Song Daniu said.

Hao Ergou finally stood firmly, and was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't hesitate, bent down and picked up a spear from the ground, used the spear as a crutch, swayed it, and slowly walked downstairs.

As he walked, he said: "It's special, I knew I was gone, I really regretted it-"

Song Daniu's eyes turned red when he heard this, and tears almost flowed out.

Hao Ergou has always wanted to leave, most likely because he wants to sleep with Widow Li.

Hao Ergou has no daughter-in-law, and Widow Li is interesting to him.

Widow Li's field is at the fort, and Hao Ergou secretly helps her every time she is busy farming.

"If you are told to go, you will not go--" Song Daniu scolded, tears pouring out of his eyes.

"Walk the hair." Hao Ergou had already walked to the staircase at this time, looked back at the army of millions of Hu people in the distance with contempt, gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to slaughter all these Hu dogs-——

"Woo woo woo" At this time, a heavy horn sounded under the city again.

Song Da Niu probed to the battlement, and in the distance, Dubra had already regrouped, and he got dozens of ladders to attack again.

This time it was the same as just now, with five ladders rushing forward.

Song Daniu turned around to see that on the city wall were either brothers who had died in battle, or there were people lying or sitting, who had lost their combat effectiveness, and only a young man, as if he was not seriously injured, was staring at him, squatting on the ground to look at himself.

"Which fort are you?" Song Daniu asked.

"Graceburg."

"See you're young? How old is it? ”

"Fifteen."

"You can be a soldier so early?"

"My dad is retired, I'm hereditary."

“。。” Song Da Niu.

The young man continued: "If it is not hereditary now, there will be no hereditary in the future, this is the last chance." ”

"What's so good about being a soldier?" Song Daniu said: "Isn't it good not to be hereditary?" ”

"I want to be a soldier." Juvenile Road.

Song Daniu was silent for a moment, the shouts of killing under the city soared to the sky, and the cloud ladder was also erected on the city wall.

Song Da Niu got up, swished, and arrows were thrown up everywhere in his lower body.

Song Daniu ignored it and slowly walked towards the young man.

The boy picked up a shield from the ground, picked up his long knife, and tried to rush over.

"Don't do it." Song Da Niu slowly retreated, and there was a place in the retreat, and there were two hundred enemies.

He walked all the way to the edge of the hundred-man enemy and sat down.

"You hurry up, there are still two horses left by the back door, you ride one away."

The young man was stunned, suddenly threw away the knife, walked to Song Daniu's side with a shield, and sat down with the same fart.

"Damn, what are you doing here, let's go." Song Daniu said angrily.

"You're not one of the hundred households in my castle." The boy whispered.

“。。” Song Da Niu.

The boy lowered his shield at this point.

Just put the shield down.

With a thud, an arrow was thrown in the air and hit him in the left leg.

His whole body trembled, but he didn't scream, he looked at the leg of the arrow, and leaned towards Song Daniu.

"I also have a younger brother and a younger sister, both of whom farm at home." The young man's face was extremely resolute, and he seemed to be very calm about life and death.

Seeing the young man's expression, Song Daniu was secretly a little ashamed, because he hadn't been so calm just now.

"Have you ever played with a woman?" Song Daniu asked suddenly.

"Nope."

"It's a pity."

"It's a pity to kill the dog."

“。。 Ay. Song Daniu sighed.

In his long sigh, the head of a bearded man poked out from the ladder at the head of the wall.

At this time, Song Da Niu picked up the flint and horn, and ignited the hundred enemies behind him.

The Hu people shouted and climbed up the ladder one after another, and some people waved to the city.

"Your Majesty has never lost a battle today." Song Daniu sighed: "We have embarrassed Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty, you will definitely avenge us." Juvenile Road.

"That's it." Song Daniu's face was straight: "I am a Ming dynasty and invincible in the world." ”

"By the way, what's your name?"

The teenager has not left his name.

But the boy didn't have time to answer.

At this time, many Hu people flocked to them, and they were about to be drowned.

"Boom"

"Boom"

Two loud noises in a row, the scene was surrounded by flames in an instant, and Song Daniu also put a lot of flammable materials and fire oil at the head of the city, directly setting fire to the entire castle wall.

The unlucky Dubra took the lead this time and took the lead on the city wall, but he and a dozen of his own soldiers were served in a pot.

The sky-high fire surrounded the city walls, and for a short time, Shaharu's soldiers and horses could only stare at the city and could not go up.

Soon, Harino gave the order to smash the door.

But the Akito piled up a lot of things behind the gate, and it was difficult to smash them open in a short time.

Below Fort Hu.

Hao Ergou was holding a spear and was looking at the front door.

There are a lot of flammable materials piled up behind the front door, and the main function is to block the pursuers.

Because after the top was breached, the Hu people had to climb in little by little by relying on the ladder, I don't know what year and month.

Therefore, Song Daniu asked him to set fire to the front door, and it would take at least half a day to burn it, and Hu Da's large number of soldiers and horses, especially the cavalry, would not be able to enter through the front door.

It can buy time for the people to retreat.

Just now, two strong explosions shook him to the ground, Hao Ergou finally got up, looked up, and could still feel the sky-high fire above.

He was not in a hurry for a moment, and waited until the fire above was almost burning, and then ordered the bottom.

When the Hu people above wanted to come in and open the door, they couldn't do it.

Just as he silently waited for the fire above.

"Whew" suddenly heard a sound that looked like a war horse.

Hao Ergou turned around inexplicably and slowly walked to the back door.

After a while, he heard the sound of the back door being pushed open, and then a woman dressed in coarse gray appeared before him.

"Sister-in-law Li." Hao Ergou said in a trembling voice, looking incredulous.

The person who came was Widow Li, the widow was in her twenties, she was quite good, with a package on her back, and she looked at him with a red face.

"Brother Ergou." When she saw Hao Ergou, she ran up excitedly, didn't care about anything, and threw herself into his arms.

", why are you here?" Hao Ergou couldn't believe it.

"Song Baihu sent someone to inform me, and I asked you to persuade you to leave."

"What." Hao Ergou only then knew that when Song Daniu asked people to leave just now, he had already sent someone to find Widow Li.

"There's a horse here, let's go." Widow Li opened the back door, and immediately saw two war horses tied to the back door.

Hao Ergou's eyes were red, and tears poured out uncontrollably, Song Da Niu died in battle, his brothers died, what is the point of Lao Tzu alive?

He stared at Widow Li blankly, and didn't know how to speak.

"Ergou, I have it, don't be like this, okay." Widow Li touched her stomach, tears rolling out of her eyes, almost begging him.

"Y-got you?" Hao Ergou was surprised and delighted.

"Yes, yes, the baby can't live without you."

Bang bang bang there was a sudden knock on the door outside hao ergou reacted he looked up upstairs and then looked at widow li finally.

"Brothers, I will avenge you." Hao Ergou decided to be a deserter, not wanting to die in vain.

He turned around, walked behind the front door with his spear, hula, and instantly lit a fire, and then hurriedly took Widow Li on his horse.

He rode one with Widow Lee, and then led the other.

"Driving" left Fort Huhu.

After riding a hundred paces, he turned around, and the flames of the fort were soaring, and the fire engulfed everything in the fort.

Hao Ergou ran out for more than 100 miles, and met a team of Ming army sentry riders in Naihe Fort, only to learn that the defenders of the Ming army in Shuozhou were coming to Zhuhu Fort, ready to support, about 1,000 people.

"It's too late, the fort is broken, and I set fire to it." He hurried.

The Ming army sentry cavalry was helpless and quickly turned around to report the military situation.

On the way, he met the Ming army many times, all of whom were people who retreated from various forts.

The Ming army knew that the small fort could not be defended, and all the people of each fort retreated in the direction of Shuozhou or Datong.

When he arrived in Shuozhou, he found that Shuozhou was overcrowded, and the soldiers of the nearby forts and the people on the edge of the forts all fled to the city.

At least 30,000 people are crammed into the city of Shuozhou.

From the time the Hu people were preparing to attack to the time he ran out, Song Baihu led people to resist for nearly three hours.

It was they who fought desperately to buy time for the people and other fort brothers to retreat.

——

After it was completely dark, Shaharu finally stepped into the Fort of Tsuhu.

He stood at the gate of the fort, looked at the charred gate, and then looked at the blackened words 'Blocking Hu Fort' on the gate, and was silent for a long time.

Fight a small block, Hubao has hundreds of casualties, this is so difficult to fight in every place where the Ming army is stationed, and a fart?

Today's attack on Fort Huhu was completely his temporary intention.

After coming from Zhenyuan Pass, all the way is the Ming army's various forts, along the Great Wall, the Ming army basically set up a fort every twenty or thirty miles.

Shaharu had been trying to get in from that place.

The Ming army did not have many troops in each fort, so he could choose to attack several forts at the same time, or he could choose to attack only one fort.

In order to facilitate supplies and plunder, Shaharu finally decided to go to Shanxi to choose again.

After entering Shanxi, it is the Yellow River, and after crossing the Yellow River, you will see the General's Fort, and then the Fort of Zhuhu.

Shaharu originally wanted to go further inside, because the further east, the closer to the hinterland of the Ming army, according to his original idea, it was best to attack the vicinity of Datong, but it was a little farther away from Datong.

Because he was afraid that the Ming army would support too quickly, he had to break the small fort within half an hour and enter the Ming realm.

However, after seeing the words "Block" Fort, Shaharu became angry and decided to attack the fort.

It's just that he never expected that the small fort that he thought could be broken in half an hour was actually dragged out for four or five hours (among them, the fire at the fort gate burned for more than an hour before it was extinguished).

At this time, it was already dark, and after they occupied the fortress, there was nothing burned inside, and they could not garrison it, so they could only pass through the fort first, and then wait for tomorrow before they could continue to march.

It was dragged out for half a day during the day, and it was impossible to march tonight, so after tomorrow, Shaharu could expect that there was nothing to plunder nearby, and the next step was to attack the important town of the Ming army to attract the main force of the Ming army to come to the decisive battle.

"Order, find someone to tear down the gate of the fortress overnight, I want the army to pass through quickly."

Shaharu decided that his million-strong army would use Fort Huhu as a passage to officially enter Spiegel.

The Battle of the Eastern Crusade officially began.
