"Great master," Wang Tong, who had beaten the drums of war for a day, sat down with a tired face and said in a low voice: "More than 300 people died today, and more than 100 were injured and couldn't move. ”

"When we came to Beihai County, we brought a whole 10,000 people. Now there are just over six thousand left. ”

More than 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded in the city, and the number of bandits besieging the city was at least three times as high as in the city.

A chill flashed in Zhou Sui's eyes, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in a low voice; "I'll take two thousand men tonight. Tomorrow, you will lead the rest of the siege with you. It's best to be able to capture, and if you can't take it, retreat. ”

Wang Tong seemed to have expected it, and did not show the slightest unhappiness of being left behind, and nodded in response: "Yes." ”

Zhou Sui's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Wang Tong: "Do you have any complaints and dissatisfaction in your heart?" ”

Wang Tong replied without thinking: "If there was no big boss, I would have died more than a year ago." Now he can be the second leader of Qinglongzhai and command thousands of people to attack the city. It's worth it even if I close my eyes. ”

Zhou Sui didn't react when he heard these heartfelt words of loyalty, and pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Don't be stupid and send you to death." Tomorrow the situation is not right, retreat immediately. Where there is life, there is hope. If you really close your eyes, there's nothing. ”

Zhou Sui has never been a hero, and he did not hesitate to run immediately when it was time to run.

In the middle of the night, when the bandits were asleep, Zhou Sui led the elite of the two thousand bandits to quietly leave.

Wang Tong watched Zhou Sui's figure go away, and exhaled heavily.

……

Day 3.

The bandits continued to attack the city.

Li Xiao suffered a slight injury to his left arm, applied wound medicine and bandages, and walked around the city wall. The left arm was injured and he could no longer draw his bow and shoot arrows. Fortunately, his right hand still has the strength to hold the hilt.

Several of his own soldiers followed him indefinitely. One of them reported in a low voice: "Second son, the number of bandits attacking the city today seems to be less than yesterday. ”

Li Xiao stared into the distance for a long time before he sneered: "The Qinglong Banner is still there, but Zhou Sui is nowhere to be seen." It must have been seen that the situation was not good, so he fled first. It's Wang Tong, who is still beating the drums of war. ”

"The imperial court sent the Marquis of Zhongyong to suppress the bandits, and then there was the army of the Jiaodong Army. This time, he will definitely chase Zhou Sui's lair and kill Zhou Sui completely. ”

Zhou Sui was famous, and once he opened the mountain and established the village, there was an endless stream of bandits who heard the wind and threw themselves in. As long as Zhou Sui does not die, Qinglong Village will never be destroyed.

And there were a thousand more men on the wall.

Behind the wall, a large number of women and children came. This time, no one instigated and agitated, it was they who took the initiative to come. They shouted to their sons, husbands, and fathers, telling them to hold the walls and guard Beihai County.

Wang Wei also came. She shouted hoarsely yesterday, and today she couldn't speak, so she put a red handkerchief on her wrist and waved it vigorously.

Li Xiao glanced at it, and his heart was hot. Just a few bandits jumped from the car, and he immediately swung his knife forward and slashed one, splashing blood on his face.

Wang Wei stood far away and couldn't see Li Xiao's figure clearly. All she could do was keep waving the red veil. It was as if a warm mass of blood flashed in the air.

Another cart was pushed in front of the city gates. More than a hundred bandits rushed to the top of the city without hesitation. I don't know who shouted "Wang Tong".

Wang Tong has been a city gate official in Beihai County for 20 years, and everyone in the Beihai County garrison knows him. As soon as he appeared on the city wall, he immediately caused a wave of exclamation.

Li Xiao was startled, and Huo Ran rushed forward. The bright blade went straight to Wang Tong's chest.

Wang Tong sneered, blocked with the long knife in his hand, and made an extremely piercing sound. Li Xiao did not scold Wang Tong angrily, and drew his sword without saying a word.

Anyone who has actually been on the battlefield knows the dangers of the battlefield. Maybe a stray arrow, maybe a blade from nowhere, can kill you. On the battlefield, kill the enemy as quickly as possible. Scolding and shouting is nothing but a wasted effort.

The surrounding soldiers moved out of the way slightly, and the bandits actually got out of the way, and each fought fiercely.

In this small open space, only Li Xiao and Wang Tong are figured. The knife flashed, Li Xiao's back was bloodied, and Wang Tong was also stabbed in the waist and abdomen.

The two gritted their teeth and forbeared, and continued to wield their knives desperately, trying to cut each other under the knife.

Wang Wei was far away, and she was under the city wall, so she couldn't see everything that happened on the city wall at all. However, the voice of shouting Wang Tong came into her ears.

Wang Wei's eyes flashed with anger, her cheeks were flushed, she tried her best, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Kill Wang Tong!" ”

The woman next to her glanced at Wang Wei, and suddenly shouted: "General Li, kill Wang Tong." ”

Soon all the women cried out. The voice of "Kill Wang Tong" was sharp and agitated.

Wang Tong, who was on the city wall, couldn't help but be shocked, and the long knife in his hand moved a little slower. Li Xiao spotted the flaw and stabbed Wang Tong in the chest.

Wang Tong let out a miserable scream, blood gushing from his chest.

Li Xiao slashed off Wang Tong's head with another knife. The head rolled on the ground a few times, and Wang Tong's body still maintained a standing posture, and then fell to the ground suddenly.

Wang Tong is dead!

Li Xiao exhaled the stuffy breath that was holding in his chest. Several pro-soldiers behind him rushed up and supported Li Xiao: "The second son is injured, hurry up and go down to the city gate to bandage." ”

At this moment, Li Xiao realized that the pain in his back was unbearable, and the soft armor had already been soaked in blood.

Wang Tong's death finally made the bandits lose their fighting spirit and completely defeated. I don't know who turned around and fled first, and soon, the bandits turned and fled. The bandits who had already jumped on the city wall were also swarmed up and quickly killed.

Seeing the opportunity, General Zheng led the soldiers out of the city gate and pursued the fleeing bandits.

Li Xiao was helped down the city wall by his own soldiers, and he asked Wang Tong's body to be taken down together.

With tears in her eyes, Wang Wei rushed over.

Li Xiao lost too much blood and was a little dizzy, so he smiled at Wang Wei and said, "Wang Wei, I have already killed Wang Tong with my own hands." That's his body over there......"

Wang Wei cried: "Don't speak, quickly apply medicine to heal your wounds." ”

Li Xiao responded, and with the support of his own soldiers, he slowly sat down against the city wall. The military doctor rushed over quickly, took off his soft armor for Li Xiao, and checked his injuries.

The knife in Li Xiao's back did not hurt the vital point. What's worse is that Li Xiao has been fighting since he was injured and bleeding too much.

Wang Wei looked at Li Xiao's bloody back, and almost fainted from crying.

The military doctor was busy cleaning Li Xiao's wounds, sewing up the open flesh and skin with needles and threads. Li Xiao was so painful that he almost fainted, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he had to force himself to say to Wang Wei: "Don't be afraid, I'm fine." ”

Wang Wei trembled and wiped the sweat beads for Li Xiao with her hands, and the tears in her eyes kept rolling down.

When Li Xiao fainted, he still held Wang Wei's hand.

Wang Wei's eyes were swollen from crying, but she didn't move, and stayed by Li Xiao's side.
