After a short but fierce struggle, countless corpses froze on top of the secondary wall, and the gate could not withstand the fire and hammer blows, and finally collapsed with a bang. Countless soldiers abandoned their horses and walked up the city wall, but they were stopped by the guards on the wall, and people kept screaming and rolling down the steps. The spears of the guards pierced through several human bodies at the same time, slaughtering like barbecue skewers, but under the bewitchment of the slaves' heavy rewards, those soldiers still pounced on them.

Seeing this, the young lieutenant general shouted at Kui Duoyou: "General, withdraw!" We can't stand it anymore! ”

Kui Duoyou looked at the soldiers who were constantly climbing up the city wall, looked back at the tall Chaoge city wall, gritted his teeth and said: "No, no one is allowed to retreat without the order of the son!" ”

Seeing that their side had the upper hand, the soldiers who had climbed the second wall doubled their courage, and they screamed and turned over and killed, squeezing Kui Duoyou and the patriotic soldiers in the small city and unable to move.

"Kill—" Just then, reinforcements arrived! Childe and dressed in military uniform, wielding a long sword, led thousands of people to reinforcements. The crowd was mixed with many unarmored young men, who were militias organized by the people of the city.

The soldiers are all wearing left hair, which is very easy to distinguish. The defenders had a new force to join, and their morale suddenly soared. Kui Duoyou's two amber eyes shone with scarlet light at this time, and he frantically slashed a bloody path through the human flesh forest, and the long sword quickly drew one death circle after another in the air. The armor, body, and weapons of the soldiers turned into piles of scraps of flesh and broken copper, and the soldiers who had been cut off by the waist crawled on the ground, wailing, and then spurting blood to death.

Seeing that the tide of Rong's offensive gradually receded, Gongzihe was very excited and shouted: "Brother Duoyou, they have retreated!" The most dangerous time has passed! ”

Kui Duoyou looked at the Kui Rong Wang Qi under the wall, and said worriedly: "No, when the army of the Endless Kingdom is on the line, the most dangerous moment will really come." ”

He was right. In order to defend the city, whether it is the Wei clan, the family doctors, or the common people in Chaoge City, everyone knows that on the day when the soldiers break the city, they will slaughter the old and the young, and take young men and women into slavery. In order to save their lives, no matter whether they are rich or poor, everyone is doing everything they have. Even the border people who had just fled into the city also took the initiative to help defend the city with the weapons they had at hand. Everyone is united in hatred of the enemy and unanimous in the outside world.

Kui Nu, who had been repeatedly frustrated in Jiyuan, did not give up, and then organized several attacks, but was repelled one by one by Childe and Kui Duoyou. Seeing that the offensive of the Rong people was weakened and the morale was low, the hearts of the Chaoge people were all relieved. Until------

Ten days later, outside the Chaoge City, the loess plain of the former Pingchuan has become a sea of knives, and the field of horses ------ Rong rode overwhelmingly, covering the mountains and fields, and everyone in the city feels the resonance of the horse's hooves, as if they have experienced an earthquake. In the two hundred years of the country, I have never seen so many enemy horsemen. The momentum is terrifying.

"I didn't expect that the King of Endless Endings would come with the army of the country. It seems that he will not give up on defending the country. Kui Duoyou looked at the rolling tent city under the city and sighed involuntarily. Fortunately, the Endless Division had traveled far away, and the day was dark, so they were not in a hurry to attack the city, but set up camp in the open outside the city, lit a bonfire, and prepared to rest.

Wei He had never seen such a scene, so many soldiers and horses, and his childish little face was a little pale: "Brother Duoyou, what should we do?" Can the Chaoge ------ still be kept? ”

"If you can keep it, you have to keep it, and if you can't keep it, you have to keep it." Kui Duoyou's face sank like water, and his eyes were like electricity: "It's a big deal, the jade is burning." You and I are both descendants of the Wei family surnamed Ji, the world is wide, so why should we go here? ”

Wei He was strong by his words, gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword: "What I said is, it's a big deal to die in battle, what's so terrible?" ”

"Childe, Childe-" A person was roped on the wall behind him, and he roared urgently to see that it was the doctor's stone horn.

"What's the matter with the old doctor?" Wei He asked.

Shi Jiao trembled and took out a silk book from his sleeve: "Mrs. Jun has an order, please Gongzi and General Kui abandon the second wall and return all their forces to the city for defense." ”

"What?" Wei He didn't believe it: "How could Mrs. Mother have such a life?" Could it be that you are afraid of the enemy and falsely pass on the edict? ”

"Gongzi Rongyu, this is indeed written by Mrs. Jun herself, even if Shijiao has ten guts, he doesn't dare to fake the edict!"

Wei He took the silk book, and sure enough, it was his mother's handwriting, and he turned to Kui Duoyou suspiciously: "Big brother, what does mother mean by this?" The King of Endless Ending had just arrived, and before he could fight, he took the initiative to abandon the second wall. I'm afraid this is to breed the enemy's morale and drain our morale! ”

Kui Duoyou thought for a moment and said: "Mrs. Jun is far-sighted and admires it. The height of the secondary wall is not enough, and the king of the end will bring long ladders and other siege tools to be prepared. Rather than wasting troops here, it is better to shrink and defend the city. The city wall of Chaoge is strong and tall, and the Rong people only have long ladders, and they can't reach the head of the city at all. We only need to guard the gates of the city, and they will not be able to break the city. ”

"It's good, but we've been guarding it for so long, is it true that the blood of the brethren has been shed in vain?" Wei He was quite unwilling.

Shijiao said: "How can it be in vain." So that the prince learned that in the past ten days, the subordinates have not been idle, taking advantage of Kui Rong's inattention and the lack of troops to besiege the city, a large number of grain, grass, feather arrows and other materials have been transferred from the back city gate. There are also many guards in the surrounding cities to come to reinforce, and Gongzi and General Kui have fought hard for many days, buying me at least a month of time to hold on, how can it be meaningless? ”

"In that case, shall we immediately withdraw to the city?" Wei He asked.

"Not busy." Kui Duoyou waved his hand: "In the dead of night, let's withdraw again to prevent people from becoming conscious." ”

Shi Jiao stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Childe, General Kui, the city gate has been built by a big stone, and copper water will be poured later." You need to be reined in. ”

"Huh? What? Wei He and Kui Duoyou were taken aback.

Another ten days have passed, Chaoge City has not been able to attack for a long time, and in the king's tent, Kui Nu and the endless prince Zhi Yu are fighting for each other.

"How did you boast before your father's tent? As a result, I can't even take down a single wall, what Kui Rong cavalry crowns the grassland, I'm bah! ”

"How are you? Did you capture the second wall? That's what Kui Duoyou took the initiative to abandon! You haven't fought him, so who is to laugh at me here? Kui Nu cursed hatefully.

"That's why they're afraid of my endless military might!" Zhi Yu seemed to have the upper hand and said proudly.

Kui Nu refused to back down even a step: "What military might?" Your eldest prince is the vanguard, ten days have passed, and you still can't capture Chaoge City? ”

This time he stepped on Zhi Yu's sore spot, he jumped up and scolded: "The patriots don't come out of the door, they use big stones to build the city gate, and they also use copper water to pour it, no matter the sword and halberd, or the hammer hit, they can't be opened at all, what can I do?" ”

"Although the city wall of Chaoge is solid, but such a long circle of city walls, choose a weak one, even if you knock it with your teeth, you can knock it alive! Didn't you say that when you were the siege vanguard? How? You knock one with your teeth and show it to Lao Tzu! Kui Nu said defiantly.

"They patrolled the city day and night, and when anyone approached, they shot arrows down. I've lost more than 200 horsemen, and I still can't get close, can I blame that? ”

"That's it!" The King of Nothing finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped the case angrily: "Shut up for me!" It's useless to fight, bite yourself up! ”

After stopping this senseless infighting, he said thoughtfully: "The guards themselves have built the city gate, and if we can't attack it, they won't be able to get out." Anyway, give the order to go down, stop the attack, spread the tent, and surround the chopping group, and not a single bird is allowed to go out! I'll see how long they can keep it! ”

"Yes!"

The night is colder, and in the easternmost palace group of the Hojing Palace, the two-zhang high palace wall is made of blue bricks. The ancient trees inside the wall are towering, and the bare branches stretch out of the wall, casting a mottled shadow on the ground, gently swaying with the wind, looking eerie and eerie.

This is the Prince's East Palace. After King Zhouyi's funeral, Ji Hu will officially move to the palace of King Zhou, and all the items in the East Palace have been collected and picked up, which is even more empty.

The courtyard is quiet, surrounded by deep halls and mansions, high canopy shade houses, but there is no light in the dark, only two plain gauze lamps are hung on the wind pole in front of the door of a two-story wooden building on the west side.

In the silence, suddenly there were one or two childish cries from outside the palace gate, which seemed extremely harsh and abrupt. When the night breeze rose, a woman coaxed the child softly, and kept begging the guards of the East Palace: "This is the third prince, now I ask to see the king, I hope the lord will make it convenient." ”

The guard was quite embarrassed: "It's late at night, and the king has been working hard for funerals for days, I'm afraid he has gone to bed." Well, let's talk about it later. ”

In the main wing room of the inner hall, Ji Hu had already taken off his court clothes and was leaning on the couch in a bed robe. Shaoji quietly walked in with a delicate copper bowl in his hand, and said with low eyebrows: "King, drink this soup and sleep well." For the funeral of the first king, you have not been able to sleep for many days, how can you survive like this? ”

Ji Hu smiled slightly and took the copper bowl: "Thank you, cousin, speaking of which, I'm really tired!" ”

Shaoji deliberately pouted: "King, how many times have you said it, now you have to call yourself 'lonely', it's always you and me, and I'm not afraid of the courtiers' jokes." ”

Ji Hu frowned slightly: "I just don't like anything 'lonely' or 'widowed', how desolate it sounds!" ”

"That's not going to work! You are the king of Zhou now------" Shaoji was about to say something more, but was interrupted by the chamberlain Jia who quietly entered the house: "The king, the Dong'er girl from Huang Huanniang's side is here, and she also brings the third prince, the king to see, do you want to see it?" ”
