The wind and snow are blowing, and the city of Pusaka is covered in snow, and there are still people and livestock moving outside the city.

The Qiang people are not afraid of the bitter cold, and women do not take shelter from the wind and snow when they give birth.

This bit of wind and snow can't help them at all.

But after more than two months of continuous siege, morale has fallen to the bottom, and now that heavy snow has fallen, the Qin army has poured water into ice at the head of the city, making the siege even more difficult.

Yao Xiang was irritable for a while, in order to encourage morale, he had already made a bold statement that he must break through Pusaka this year and step into the pass, barely maintaining internal unity.

Guanzhong Zhuqiang also had high hopes for him.

However, the reality is cruel, and Pusaka Castle is as solid as a rock, and no matter how many lives it fills, it can't shake it in the slightest.

Even Yao Xiang himself was not confident, and he felt that he would never be able to break through the city and return to his hometown in Guanzhong.

"Tell me, what should we do now?" Yao Xiang's face was full of tiredness, and he didn't have the high-spirited appearance of the past at all.

Its chief Shi Wang Liang admonished: "Gongying covers the world, and the scholars think about serving their lives, and they must not damage the people and storm this lonely city." It is advisable to return to the east of the river, recuperate until the next spring, our army retreats, then Fu Sheng will kill the heavy generals, wait for them to cut themselves, and then they can enter the Tuguan. ”

Yao Xiang was silent.

If he withdraws, his prestige will be questioned by the Qiang.

Pusaka is just the first threshold to step into Guanzhong, and he can't even cross a threshold, who will believe him?

There will be next year's situation next year, the land of right and wrong in Hedong, and the Liangyan War may break out here.

Quan Yi said: "Since our army is not caught, it is better to ask King Liang for help, the Black Cloud Army is good at attacking the city, so it can make it attack Tongguan and share the pressure of Pusaka, and the two-pronged approach is difficult for the Fu clan to resist." ”

"If the Black Cloud Army invades Guanzhong, will there be a foothold for us in the future?" The rear handsome Qiangbai was the first to object.

Qiang's family is the surname of the Di people, and Qiang Bai is also the chief of the Di people.

Just as the Fu clan has Qiang forces such as Lei Qiao'er under his command, the Yao clan also has Di forces under his command.

All the forces in the northern kingdom, whether it is Murong, Tuoba, or Fu clan, are all mixed clans.

"Now is not the time to think about this, if we can't capture Kasaka, our army will fall apart!" Quan Yi has a headache, he can't attack it, he is unwilling to retreat, and he is afraid of the only reinforcement.

Everyone looked at Yao Xiang.

"I have 100,000 people and dominate the world, but I am trapped in a corner of the east of the river, what face to see the people of the world, success or failure in this move, all the kings should fight for my blood, do not break the Pusaka, swear not to look back!" Yao Xiang decided to give it a go.

There is no better way.

No one knows the current situation better than him, whether it is retreating or asking for help, it is inevitable to become a puppet.

This is worse than death for an ambitious person.

If Yao Xiang was willing to compromise, he would have compromised back then, whether he defected to Murong or Jiangdong, his life would be more comfortable than now.

"In this battle, I should take the lead!" Yao Xiang gritted his teeth and said.

"I am willing to fight to the death with the Governor!" The generals gave up one after another.

Yao Xiang took his knife out of the tent and stood in the wind and snow, the elites of the headquarters gathered one after another, looking at him with wide eyes one by one, even if Yao Xiang was out of line, the eyes of the soldiers were still full of trust and reverence.

"This city is not broken, I should die before the armies!" Yao Xiang pulled out his long knife, and the cold light flashed, stabbing at the dim sky.

"I want to die with the general!" The tribal expressions were resolute.

A low, desolate horn sounded, and Yao Xiang moved forward with his subordinates.

The elder brother Yao Yisheng and the younger brother Yao Chang accompanied him.

When Fu Jianxi entered Guanzhong, he also faced such a situation of life and death, and Fu Jian even said "If things are not good, you will die in Hebei, I will die in Henan, not as good as Huangquan, and I will not see each other".

"I fight to the death for the striker, and you are the last!" Yao Yisheng pleaded.

Yao Chang said: "This battle is really dangerous, why don't you think about it in the long run?" ”

Yao Xiang pointed to his slightly frosty sideburns and said: "I have three of my forty this year, Huafa has been born, but the great cause has not been accomplished, I have no shame to see the people of the world, this battle is not won, I deserve to die, and then you need to preserve your strength and wait for the mandate of heaven in order to raise it again." ”

The expectant gaze fell on Yao Chang.

The sons of the Yao family are also Yao Changzhi.

Yao Xiang's move is not only to give an explanation to the people who follow him and look forward to him, but also to give an explanation to the deceased Yao Yizhong and give an explanation to himself.

"Brother, why do you have to ...... like this," Yao Chang said movingly.

"It's hard to ride a tiger, it must be like this, this is a military order, you and others retreat, restrain the rear army!" Yao Xiang's eyes were extremely resolute.

The two stood in place, but Yao Xiang was already holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other.

According to the custom of the Qiang people, the body stabbed the arm with a knife to declare determination.

The other chieftains also led their troops forward, and as soon as they came up, they attacked from all sides.

Yao Xiang took the lead, and his morale soared.

Only by storming the city did they have warm houses and women, endless meat to eat, and endless wine.

Yao Xiang had already issued a military order, and after the city was breached, it was allowed to plunder for three days.

This military order stimulated the bestiality of the various departments, and so many people followed Yao Xiang to attack Guanzhong, for this.

The originally quiet Pusaka City instantly boiled into the sky, and the Yao clan members shouted forward one by one, and did not retreat with several arrows in their bodies, and before they died, they also threw the knife in their hands, trying to cut down the defenders in the city.

Far from limiting their offensive, the wind and snow fueled their ferocity.

It is with this ferocity and tenacity that the Qiang people of Longyou have been fighting intermittently with the Eastern Han Dynasty for a hundred years.

And now they are going back to Guanzhong, to their hometown......

Fu Jian stood at the head of the city, looking at the enemy troops who were surging like ants under black pressure, with a solemn expression.

Fu Fa said beside him: "Yao Xiang fought to the death!" Not to be underestimated! ”

"Yao Xiang is entangled with tens of thousands of rabble, untrained, demoralized, blindly attacking, and sent to death!" Deng Qiang was still dismissive.

"Back then, Yao Xiang attacked Fangtou and was defeated by my father and ancestors, capturing more than 30,000 people, and most of the Yao family's elite were lost, and they have been in a slump since then!" As Fu Xiong's eldest son, Fu Fa is naturally full of glory.

Shi Hu died of illness, and Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong both had the intention of entering Guanzhong in the west.

Yao Yizhong preemptively ordered Yao Xiang to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Fangtou, in an attempt to destroy the competitors first.

However, Fu Hong's chess was high, so that Fu Xiong led the elite to fight and defeated Yao Xiang.

Yao's luck was also defeated in this battle.

Fu Jian looked at the sky, "The time is right, Yao Xiang's name will be spread all over the world, and he will be captured and killed in a battle, which can boost our prestige!" ”

The generals around him gradually became excited.

Behind them, a row of armor soldiers stood solemnly, all of them were warriors who followed Fu Xiong to break Yao Xiang back then, and did not participate in the defense of the city.

Although Fu Jian is young, he is a calm hunter, dragging Yao Xiang into the net little by little.

Turning his head and glancing at the generals behind him, "The prosperity of the Fu clan will start today!" ”

"Kill!" The soldiers erupted in a roar.

They were also suppressed for a long time, just waiting for the final decisive battle.
