The soldiers defending the city stood close to the city walls, their bows and arrows in their hands full, aimed at the Hu army in the distance, and when they entered the firing range, the feathered arrows rained down on the invaders.

Zhang Yuqing was still standing on the city wall, with a dagger pinned to his waist.

Meng Zeliang asked her to stand below, the Hu people also have archers, in case she hurts Zhang Yuqing, it will not be good.

Zhang Yuqing shook her head, "I'm standing here." ”

Meng Zeliang wanted to say something, Zhang Yuqing raised his hand to stop him, raised the dagger in his hand, and said: "I, Zhang Yuqing, will entrust my life to all the soldiers, the city is here, the city is broken, I will use this knife to cut myself!" ”

She would never let herself fall into the Hu people, be insulted and ruined by the Hu people, or become a hostage of the Hu people who threatened and humiliated Lu Wei.

The wind of hunting sent Zhang Yuqing's words to the ears of every soldier, and everyone didn't say anything, and their eyes had changed.

What they want to protect is not only this city, but the people in this city, and Mrs. Toshi who is willing to protect this city with her life.

The Hu people sounded the horn of attack.

The long sound of the horn seemed to come from the other side of the clouds, full of horror and trembling, making people's pores tremble.

The stones thrown by the thunderbolts, wrapped in burning grease, slammed into the walls with a whistling sound, and some even fell into the city, and the whole wall trembled, the crushed lime fell, and the earth shook.

The stones that fell on the thatched roof set the roof on fire, and Liu Quan hurriedly led the people to extinguish the fire.

On the city gate, Meng Zeliang gave an order, "Release the arrow!" ”

The arrows rained down on the Hu people, and the Hu people who rushed to the front instantly fell to the ground.

Although Zhong He was the youngest, he was the most stable and accurate of the archers, steadily taking arrows from behind, setting up bows, and shooting arrows, and with every shot, a galloping cavalry would fall to the ground.

Zhang Yuqing walked up to Zhong He and pointed to a chariot surrounded by soldiers among the Hu people.

"See the car?" Zhang Yuqing said, "Can you shoot?" ”

There are a few figures in the middle of the chariot, definitely the commander of this battle, but I don't know which level.

Zhong He took the arrow, drew the bow, and after aiming, he said calmly: "Try it!" As soon as he finished speaking, the white feathered arrow left the string.

It was too far away to see what was going on, but the chariot quickly covered its tent, and it was clear that the arrow had killed them and deterred them.

Zhong He said regretfully: "I'm still too bored." ”

His bow was a specially made small bow, and its strength was not as great as that of the big black iron bow used by adults, and the killing distance was not far enough.

"Take your time." Zhang Yuqing comforted him, "You are already very good!" ”

The Hu cavalry, with shields on their heads, rushed quickly, and soon the archers could no longer hold up with the speed of their arrows, and some of them had rushed very close to the city gate.

Meng Zeliang had already led a team of elite cavalry out of the other city gate, waiting for work, rushing over, and cutting down the hundreds of Hu people who were running in the front.

Hu Ren never expected that the Great Xia people, who had always been nested and could only defend the city, would give them a head-on blow at this time, and by the time they reacted, they were already covered with corpses.

And Meng Zeliang was not in love with war, blew the whistle to collect the troops, quickly ran back to the city, and closed the city gate.

The first wave of the Hu people's siege was repulsed in this way, and they sounded the trumpet to collect the troops and retreated ten miles away.

The whole city wall cheered.

Zhang Yuqing's heart settled down a little, one drum, then decline, three exhausted, if the Hu people can be frustrated one after another, no matter how many of them are, they will not be able to capture this city!

However, the Hu people only rested for half an hour, and then began a second wave of fierce attacks, as if they were not fatal.

When the Hu people rushed to the bottom of the city, the soldiers began to throw stones and bricks down the city like raindrops, and at the same time poured boiling hot oil and gold juice on them, and the Hu people who tried to climb the wall with ladders were seriously killed and wounded.

And the crashing wood transported by the Hu people outside the city also arrived, and began to hit the city gate violently.

The gates trembled, and so did the entire walls.

The people spontaneously rushed to the city gate, removed the beams of their houses against the city gate, and together with the soldiers, blocked the gate with their flesh and blood.

The doctors in the hospital consciously joined the ranks of military doctors, and the women also set up a logistics team under the organization of Wang Chunniang to cook and boil water.

The Hu people couldn't attack for a long time, and they suffered heavy casualties, and even if they were lucky enough to climb the city wall, they were killed by the soldiers defending the city one by one, and their bodies were thrown back under the city wall.

However, the Hu people suffered such a big loss, but they did not withdraw their troops again as Zhang Yuqing thought, but more people stepped on the corpses of their compatriots and climbed the city wall, and then they were beaten down by stones and hot oil, and then new people came up.

The commander of the Hu people seemed to be annoyed, and the horn of the attack kept blowing, and whoever dared to retreat would be killed, but until dusk, the city gate could not be conquered.

After an afternoon of fierce fighting, the Hu soldiers were sleepy and tired, looking at the Baochuan city wall and sighing.

Last autumn, the Hu people's god of war Duo Mu Yi was frustrated here, and the newly appointed young general Lu Wei did not leave a piece of armor, but he did not expect that after less than half a year, the equipment and combat power of the Baochuan defenders had reached a higher level.

Especially arrows, in previous years, the Baochuan defenders shot arrows by counting arrows, and they were searched and searched, so why is it like arrows don't need money this year? There is also the armor worn by the defenders of Baochuan, in previous years, there were not even many bamboo armors, but this year even the most ordinary soldiers have been replaced with strong and tough iron armor, which cannot be cut through with knives and arrows.

And those soldiers, who had been fighting fiercely all afternoon, still had the strength to stand on the city wall and cheer them out!

Aren't those Great Xia people weak? When did it become so powerful?

The shock in the heart of the leading commander Hu Ren was no less than that of ordinary soldiers, in addition to shock, there was more fear.

If the Baochuan army is so strong, how can the Hu people come in and plunder? If they are given more time and let them continue to grow, then everyone in the Great Xia army will be like the Baochuan army, and the Hu people are only afraid that they will shrink on the grassland forever, and they will never want to set foot in the prosperous land of the Central Plains again.

After the fear, the officers of the Hu people unanimously made up their minds that no matter what the price, they must capture Baochuan City!

This is a battle that bets on the future fortunes of the two countries!

Taking advantage of the temporary withdrawal of the Hu people, Wang Chunniang took the women to carry the burden and brought a steaming meal to the soldiers defending the city.

The sunset stained the earth a blood-red color, and the corpses of countless Hu people lay on top of each other under the city walls.

Zhang Yuqing divided the soldiers into two shifts, one for the first half of the night and the other for the second half of the night, alternately resting and recuperating.

"When will you be back?" Wang Chunniang asked worriedly.

Zhang Yuqing covered her face with her hands and sighed deeply, "I don't know." ”

Although scouts have been sent to Liangzhou to report the news, Shen Shoushan is willing to let Lu Wei come back, and when Lu Wei will come back, he doesn't know.

The supplies of Baochuan Castle are limited, and it is impossible to fight a long-term war of attrition.

"If Lord Lu doesn't come back...... Wang Chunniang said in horror.

Zhang Yuqing got up and watched the sun sink into the horizon little by little, "He will definitely come back." ”

Whether Lu Wei loves her or not, Zhang Yuqing doesn't know, and she doesn't want to think about this at the moment, but she believes that Lu Wei is essentially a responsible and kind person, and he will not leave this city behind.

The Hu people drove here, and they attacked the city for a long time, and their energy was exhausted, but they were safe and sound at night.

The defenders and people of Baochuan also took this opportunity to recharge their energy and rest.

Today, the Hu people brought more violent siege equipment, and the striking wood was wrapped with sharp iron thorns, and every time it hit, it left a deep wound on the wooden city gate, and after a few more hard hits, the city gate was knocked out of a hole, and the soldiers guarding the gate could see the fierce and vicious Hu people on the opposite side through the hole.

A long knife came out of the hole and stabbed the soldier as he was about to plug the gap with a plank.

The soldier screamed, blood gushed out from the wound, and he fell to the ground, where he was quickly carried down by the other soldiers and handed over to the medical team.

The rest of the people pounced one after another, plugging the hole.

The situation on the city wall is also not optimistic, the battle has been going on from morning to noon, and the corpses of the Hu people under the wall are piled up.

From time to time, some people stepped on the corpses of their compatriots and climbed to the city wall, and the soldiers defending the city slashed hard, and if they were injured and could not participate in the battle again, many people chose to pounce on them, holding the Hu people who were going to climb up and fell off the city wall, and they resolutely did not let the Hu people step into the city.

However, the battle continued from morning to afternoon, and more and more Hu people climbed the city walls and raised their broadswords.

Du Jingyi pulled Zhang Yuqing and ran under the city wall, "Madam, let's go!" ”

When the Hu people saw a woman on the city wall, they all ran to Zhang Yuqing's side, their eyes flashing with the light of ambition, and they shouted Hu Yu in their mouths.

One of the Hu people closest to Zhang Yuqing was shot by a flying feather arrow, which shot straight into the back of his head and fell straight to the ground.

Zhong He squatted on the city wall, his still immature face was still calm and solemn, drawing arrows, taking bows, and shooting arrows.

However, when he shot down a few Hu people and went to the quiver behind him to get the arrows, he was shocked to find that the quiver was empty, and the quiver behind the Daxia soldier who fell to the ground next to him was also empty.

The tallest strong man among the Hu people had already chased after Zhang Yuqing.

This person is especially brave, with a forehead guard tied on his head, a big knife like a crescent moon, all the soldiers who are close to him are cut down by him, and he raised the big knife at Zhang Yuqing with a cruel smile.

Wang Chunniang and several people screamed, and ran over to Zhang Yuqing desperately.

Zhang Yuqing pushed Du Jingyi away without hesitation, took out the dagger at his waist, and raised the knife to his neck.

She's really going to die here today.

She is not afraid of death, but such a fate makes her feel really regretful.

If there is an afterlife......

A stream of heat squirted into her face.

She opened her eyes, and the large knife hanging above her head fell.

The head of the Hu man was forcibly cut off from behind, and his heavy body fell to the ground, revealing Lu Wei's cold face behind him.
