Baochuan is the first city on the border, and the Hu people enter Bactria through Baochuan is the most convenient and shortest way, because Baochuan will be attacked and plundered by the Hu people every year.

On the contrary, it is much more difficult for the Hu people to attack Liangzhou City, first, Liangzhou City has a unified garrison, and there are many generals, and second, there are many mountains and rivers outside Liangzhou City, and if they want to attack Liangzhou City, they have to bypass many dangerous mountain roads, and the men and horses are tired, and the soldiers of Liangzhou City will be at ease.

But any Hu people with a little military acumen would not choose to attack Liangzhou City.

"I can't tell." Fang Qin muttered, "There is a Great Wall of water in Baochuan, and now that it has thawed, it is difficult for the Hu people to come over, and besides, they fought with us a few times last year, and they suffered big losses every time." ”

Hu Ren realized that Baochuan was now a bone that could not be gnawed, and it was also possible to turn to attack Liangzhou City.

The secret order was not written so clearly, but the tone was very strong and demanded that Lu Wei must bring 30,000 soldiers and horses to aid Liangzhou City.

Military orders are like mountains.

If Lu Wei does not lead troops to Liangzhou City, it will be disobeying military orders, and Shen Shoushan can even cut it first and then play.

Lu Wei has to go.

But if 30,000 elites are sent to Liangzhou, Baochuan will become an empty city.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Lu Wei only brought 10,000 first-class soldiers, and the rest were transferred from first-class and D soldiers.

Before leaving, he used the excuse to rub for a day, and the scouts sent to Liangzhou reported the news that there were indeed a large number of Hu people marching in the direction of Liangzhou City, and the traces along the way showed that the main force was here, and the Great Xia put on a posture of fighting to the death.

After Lu Wei left, Zhang Yuqing instructed Ko Leguo to strengthen the vigilance of the city gate, and sent scouts to inquire about the surrounding news every day, each with a fireworks flare made by a fireworks craftsman, and if there was any abnormal movement, they would light the red fireworks to warn the people in Baochuan City.

Until the scouts came with the news, the Hu people had already fought with the defenders of Liangzhou in the mountains outside Liangzhou City, and there were several fierce battles, but there was still no movement outside Baochuan City.

At noon that day, Zhang Yuqing was squatting by the wall to see if the Lingxiao flowers he planted had sprouted, and suddenly a large number of birds swept over the sky, and after the movement that covered the sky and the sun, it was a deathly silence.

A chill jumped up from the bottom of Zhang Yuqing's heart, she stood up, a thunderous explosion sounded in the sky, she looked for a reputation, the red smoke in the northwest sky condensed, and was blown away by the wind after a while, followed by the second fireworks warning, and then the third fireworks exploded.

This is the code word of their message, and the three fireworks explode one after another, representing the most dangerous and worst situation.

"Gather your army and close the gates!" Zhang Yuqing shouted and rushed out of the Dusi Mansion.

happened to meet Du Jingyi and others rushing over, and everyone drove the carriage to the city gate.

Standing on the high castle tower, there is no enemy army in sight for the time being, but the experienced soldiers lie on the ground and listen to the shaking of the ground, and they know that the enemy army under black pressure is rushing towards this side like a tide, and it is not far away.

There were not many officers left in Baochuan City, and Zou Bin was one of them.

Knowing that Zhang Yuqing and the Baochuan garrison had summoned all the officers, he still ran home and sent someone to escort his family out of the city.

When Zou Bin arrived, everyone was looking at him.

"Where have you been?" Zhang Yuqing asked coldly.

Zou Bin was ruthlessly rectified by Zhang Yuqing, and he didn't dare to despise her, and said vaguely: "There is something at home, so I went home." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yuqing asked again.

Zou Bin smiled and said: "Mrs. Lu, now that the enemy is present, I won't mention someone's family affairs in Zou!" You see, there are not many defenders in Baochuan, and 30,000 have been transferred to defend Liangzhou City, and now there are so many people, how can there be any chance of winning! ”

Zhang Yuqing said: "In your opinion, what should we do? ”

Zou Bin slapped his thigh and shouted, "Of course you should retreat quickly!" Go to Liangzhou City for help! ”

"Retreat? Where to evacuate? Zhang Yuqing asked again.

Zou Bin thought that Zhang Yuqing was frightened, and secretly said that a woman is a woman, so he said: "Madame, don't be afraid, I am willing to escort Madame to Liangzhou City to find Lord Dusi!" ”

"You want to run away without a fight?" Zhang Yuqing squinted at him.

Zou Bin said embarrassedly: "How can this be an escape? The subordinate is just escorting the lady out of the city......"

Zhang Yuqing put his hands behind his back and slowly swept over the officers, "Is there anyone else like him who wants to escort me out of the city?" ”

Meng Zeliang said loudly: "I'm not leaving!" I'll stay and defend the city! ”

Madame is a woman, she should go, but he is a soldier, even if he dies in battle, the body has to stay in Baochuan City, and he can't go.

Some people said that he didn't leave, some people didn't say anything, and some people's eyes flashed, as if they wanted to echo Zou Bin's words.

Zhang Yuqing pointed at Zou Bin lightly and said, "Meng Zeliang, kill him!" ”

Meng Zeliang was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled out the knife on his waist, and the knife fell from his hand, Zou Bin's bloody head fell to the ground, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.

Zhang Yuqing stood there with an unchanged face, Zou Bin's hideous and bloody head was at her feet, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that Zhang Yuqing had killed him like this.

"You are all soldiers, it is the people who provide for you, it is the court that promotes you, the enemy is present, do you want to ignore the life and death of the people, ignore the honor and disgrace of the court? Whoever proposes to flee is a thief! And then there are those who run away, and the end is like this thief! Zhang Yuqing pointed to the head at his feet and said loudly.

All the officers were shocked by Zhang Yuqing's iron-blooded methods.

"Isn't Madame leaving?" Meng Zeliang asked, "Madame is not a soldier, let's go!" ”

Although the enemy is current, escorting a woman out of the city is not a difficult task for the soldiers of Baochuan City.

Zhang Yuqing stood on the city wall, facing the officers, and said, "I won't leave." ”

Today, the sky is clear, and the visibility is excellent, and you can see in the distance that black spots have begun to emerge in the distance outside Baochuan Castle, marching towards this side like a tide.

"But, Madame......" Meng Zeliang was anxious.

Zhang Yuqing said calmly: "No, you can divide the people into six teams, four to guard the four city gates, one to provide emergency support at any time, and one to escort the evacuation of the people in the city, and at the same time evacuate the surrounding people." ”

After killing Zou Bin, the efficiency of the officers instantly increased, and they methodically assigned troops to defend the city, collecting bricks and stones everywhere, as well as boiling gold juice and boiling oil, everything was in an orderly manner.

Although people are panicked and afraid of the unknown future, as long as everyone sees Mrs. Lu with a straight back on the city wall, they are full of confidence and strength.

Mrs. Lu hasn't left, what's so scary?

Zhang Yuqing looked at the army of Hu people who were getting closer and closer, and he could even see that they had brought huge thunderbolts and thick crashing logs specially designed to hit the city wall.

This is prepared!

The wind in early spring was blowing fiercely, and Zhang Yuqing's eyes were sour.

Wang Chunniang stumbled onto the city wall, and after seeing Zhang Yuqing, she ran over.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Zhang Yuqing asked in surprise, "Hurry up, it's too late if you don't leave!" ”

Wang Chunniang cried and shouted, "Why don't you leave? If you don't leave, you'll die here! ”

Later, Du Jingyi, Liu Quan and Zhong He followed.

Zhang Yuqing sighed, "I can go, but I'm gone, what about those people?" ”

She looked at the soldiers guarding the city, and the people at the gates of the city who were crowded to take refuge in the city. The Supreme Commander is not there, the Commander's wife has run away, and the remaining officers are either young and have no majestic appeal, or they themselves are trying to save their lives and escape, how can they protect this city? How can we protect the thousands of people behind this city?

"There are so many people, outrun the fast horses of the Hu people? Ran past the scimitar of the Hu people? Zhang Yuqing shook his head with red eyes, "If I leave, this city will definitely be in chaos, just like the capital that was invaded by the Hu people more than ten years ago." ”

Bloody rafting, hell on earth.

She should be dead if she died, just to give the people more time to retreat, she didn't want to see a child like her and watch their parents die miserably.

"Madame, let's go! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! Wang Chunniang persuaded, "Think about it...... That son, I finally met him again! You still have so many things to do, how can you die here with great revenge! ”

Zhang Yuqing's tears welled up in her eyes, and her heart was full of sourness and unwillingness.

She has no revenge, even if she dies here, she won't be able to die!

"No way." Zhang Yuqing smiled faintly and wiped the tears from her eyes hard, "Maybe it's really my life!" ”

The fragile words were shattered by the fierce wind and scattered between heaven and earth.

Wang Chunniang pulled Zhang Yuqing and cried silently.

"Let's go." Zhang Yuqing looked at the others and smiled faintly, and solemnly arched his hand, "It's my honor that I, Zhang Yuqing, can get to know you, but maybe I won't be able to go on with you in the future, say goodbye here, and see you again!" ”

Du Jingyi said with a smile: "Farewell? When did we say we were leaving? ”

Liu Quan shouted: "Madame doesn't leave, what should I go?" I'm not going to go either! My mother said it, and she won't leave! If the Hu people come in again, they will die with them! ”

Zhong He was the youngest, carrying a bow on his back and wearing silver armor, with a bit of the sassy air of a heroic young general, and shouted: "I won't leave, Mrs. said that I am a marksman, a super special soldier, I want to let the Hu people see how powerful I am!" ”

Zhang Yuqing's tears blurred her eyes, and she laughed helplessly, "You guys are really ......"

The soldiers defending the city were all in place, and many civilians chose to stay in Baochuan Castle. According to them, where can you run? The Hu people attacked, no one could escape, no matter how fast the two legs ran, could they beat the Hu people's horses? Besides, who doesn't have old people and children, how can they run?

It is better to stay and help the defenders resist the Hu people and drive them away from their homes.

Meng Zeliang arranged for the people to tear down the beams of the house, put the beams behind the city gate, and then demolish the house, and transport the bricks and stones to the city wall, and the entire Baochuan City has never been so concerted.

Everyone is united in their efforts to win this battle of defense from the Hu people.

If you win, you can defend your home and keep your family's life.

The women broke the scissors and wrapped them in handkerchiefs and hid them on their chests. If they unfortunately lose, and the Hu people come in, they will die with the Hu people.

Half a day later, in the afternoon, when the sun was shining, the black-pressed Hu army had already approached the city.

The thunderbolt is a trebuchet, a sharp weapon used to siege a city, and it has been recorded during the Three Kingdoms period.
