In the north, Yantang Pass, black smoke is rising from the towers that have extinguished the fires, and the troops on the east and west sides are retreating.

The red autumn sun was slowly setting among the clouds in the west, and the setting sun shone on the towering city walls, mottled with blood and black burns, and the bloody soldiers were dragging the corpses lying on the battlements to the ground, for the other comrades to carry down the walls.

Lei Tong carried the blood-dripping ring head knife, pulled out a feather arrow inserted in the wall battlement, and threw it to the ground.

There are so many enemies!

The offensive for more than half a month became more and more intense, and the Xijon people replaced more than ten troops and horses to attack the city back and forth, but fortunately, the other party could not take out other siege equipment except for the ladder.

Otherwise, it is really possible that you will not be able to hold it.

Lei Tong spat out a mouthful of blood foam in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and dragged the ring head knife towards the city wall.

"Bandage the comrades, and the seriously injured ones should be immediately carried to the wounded barracks and handed over to Lang Zhong, and the people were called on the people to carry the wood under the city to the city wall."

Lei Tong had been fighting in the city for half a month, his body was already exhausted, his steps were a little staggering, and he commanded the soldiers around him as he walked.

Descending the stone steps of the city wall, the dark red blood stains around are intertwined with the corpses, and there are also seriously injured Yantang Pass soldiers lying on stretchers wailing, there are many such tragic scenes, these are Yantang Pass soldiers who were conscripted into the army on the spot, there is no war all year round, even if there is thunder copper to train them in the past, but when they encounter a real life-and-death fight, especially this kind of tragic battle, the slightest carelessness will be gone.

When the Xijon people came, everyone fought with all their blood and fought with the Xirong people who climbed the city, and in nearly half a month, there were 3,200 people left in the 6,000 people on the east wall, and nearly half of them were killed and wounded.

The dead and the undead were carried away in view, and in the dim light of the day, the young and strong in the city were like ant colonies up and down the stone steps on the inner side of the city wall, and from time to time Lang Zhong with a medicine box was seen running after the wounded.

"Thunder...... General ......"

A groaning soldier was carried past him, and the wounded soldier weakly stretched out his arm to pull Lei Tong's skirt armor, and his neck trembled and raised his head to look at the bloodstained Lei Tong in his armor, and muttered in a soft voice: "Are there any reinforcements?" ”

Lei Tong held the other party's hand, pursed the corners of his mouth, and then laughed, "Scared?" Don't worry, King Xia has already gone north, and he will come over soon! ”

"That'...... That's good...... I really hope that King Xia can come soon......" The wounded soldier said excitedly, and then lay back on the stretcher and was carried away.

Lei Tong watched the wounded soldier being carried away, and the smile on his face gradually faded, what he said just now was just to deceive the other party, he didn't know how long it would take for the Xia King to arrive, the Xirong cavalry east of Yantang Pass was still there, in the past half a month, Wu Huizhi, the marquis of Yunyu County, led two thousand county soldiers to support, and was ambushed by the other party in the middle of the road, fortunately Li Dian who was stationed outside the city noticed it, and the soldiers rescued him, and there were only more than 600 people left in the two thousand soldiers.

Once the cavalry is formed, it is almost invincible in the wilderness.

"General Lei!"

Suddenly, a soft voice interrupted Lei Tong's thoughts, and he followed the direction of the words, Zheng He, who was dressed in a flying fish suit and dragged down, led several eunuchs from the Detective Factory over.

"Zheng Dugong!"

Lei Tong returned the salute, he didn't have much of a good impression of the eunuch in power, and he was a eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't understand why Su Chen let the other party be in a high position, but the other party was indeed capable, and he didn't have any shelf, which seemed rare.

"What is the intensity of the barbarian attack on the western city wall today?"

The two of them walked down the street together towards the eastern wall, and the difference in size between the two men was quite large, but no one dared to underestimate the eunuch who looked like he was wearing a skirt.

"It's not as strong as it was yesterday five days ago."

Hearing Lei Tong's words, Zheng He frowned slightly, "It's not strong, it's just a slight siege every day, General Lei, do you think they are demoralizing the city generals?" ”

"It must be the case, right now, the Xirong people on the other side of the East City Gate, the cavalry came to harass them, shot a few arrows and left, I'm afraid they also have such a purpose."

The two fell silent one after another, and now there were still 14,000 people in the city, divided into two walls, east and west, and a group of soldiers in the city needed to be left as a backup.

The strength of the defenders of the city was obviously insufficient, but fortunately, there were 8,000 men of Li Dian stationed outside the city on the east side of the city wall, forming a horn trend, so that the Xirong cavalry who came over the mountain did not dare to attack as before.

This relieved a lot of pressure, and Wu Huizhi, the Marquis of Yunyao, who had been yearning for the battlefield, finally understood how much pressure the weak side of the battlefield needed to withstand, he was covered in blood, holding a sword against the wall, looking at the field to the east.

In the seven days after retreating to the pass, he also went to the city and killed several Xirong soldiers with his own hands, from the excitement at the beginning, to the trembling of his hands and feet now.

This is still with the help of his personal guards, changing to those soldiers and generals, if he wants to survive on the battlefield, it is not only martial arts, but also luck.

But what he didn't expect was that in addition to the soldiers who guarded the city together, there were also barbarians, and aside from the slaves, he actually saw more than a dozen red-haired barbarians.

Wu Huizhi put the sword back into the sheath and looked at the city wall on the right, where the dozen red-haired figures were sitting on the ground, resting against the wall.

Among the dozen or so, the woman with freckles on her face and scarlet hair chewed vigorously on the jerky distributed in the city, and the brother next to her babbled and gushed endlessly.

"Oh my God, there are so many cavalrymen, I've never seen so many guys on horseback in my life."

"Elsa, did you see it today, there was a guy who pulled his bow on horseback and wanted to shoot me, fortunately I reacted, and there are good martial arts, otherwise your brother would have died here before he returned to his hometown."

"Shut up, Barry!"

The red-haired woman named Elsa turned her head to glare at her brother, who kept talking, and raised her hand to slash at the other man's feet, causing the man to jump up in fright.

The woman put down her axe, ignored her brother and ran to talk to the other companions, she leaned against the wall and chewed the jerky in her mouth, looking at the dusk sky, hoping that the big man would come sooner.

She heard that the other party had brought countless soldiers and horses to another country, and had conquered and killed the other party's emperor, thinking of the other party's age and appearance, Elsa couldn't help but purse her lips.

If there was such a king in her country, he would not be enslaved by others.

In my eyes, the sky gradually darkened.

In the dreary atmosphere of the pass, many people held the idea that reinforcements were coming soon, so as to relieve their tense nerves and fall asleep.

As the night passed, the drums on the city walls came as promised.

The people of the pass, who had been silent all night, thought that as in the previous two days, the Xirong people were just pretending, but this time, the sound of war drums on the city wall became more and more fierce and rapid each time.

Lei Tong put on his armor and came to the west city wall, and what caught his eye was a dense array of Xirong tribesmen, coming from the sky like an ocean.

On the side of the west city wall, Zheng He and Wu Huizhi stood behind the battlements, and what they saw with the slave soldiers and the Yantang Pass soldiers was that almost all the 7,000 cavalry were dispatched.

Li Dian led his troops to camp under the city walls and formed an array.

"Marquis Wu, there are 2,000 people on the city wall here, go to reinforce the west city wall, as long as General Li guards the city here, the Xirong people will not be able to get close."

Zheng He looked at the Xirong cavalry that was hovering in the distance, turned his head and yelled at Wu Huizhi: "Hurry! ”

"This place will be handed over to Zheng Dugong!"

Wu Huizhi raised his hand and arched, and immediately took two thousand slave soldiers, as well as the red-haired barbarians, went down the city pass, and ran along the streets in the pass to the west city gate.

By the time we got here, the siege had already begun.

The Xirong cavalry of the city wall, wandering under the city, shooting arrows at the city on horseback, covering the clansmen who climbed the ladder below, one by one the feathered arrows turned into a rain of arrows, and flew to the city head under black pressure.

In a series of screams, the archers who stood up from behind their shields, wall battlements, or turned out fired back one after another, shooting the barbarians who climbed the ladder down the ladder.

"The archers continue to shoot arrows, and the wood is ready!" The generals of the battalions organized resistance, and also observed the number of Xijon people climbing the ladder downward.

Lei Tong guarded the city tower, received the situation on the wall section that came, and then made adjustments, as for how to fight, the middle and lower lieutenants and Sima knew it in their hearts.

As the timber and stone began to be smashed, the intensity of the siege instantly increased.

Burning arrows flew through the sky, flying up from below, and some arrows shot down at the Xijon soldiers gathered below, some of which were blocked by the opponent's shields.

The black smoke rose to block the rising sunlight, and on the left and right sections of the west city wall, a cloud ladder hung against the wall battlements, and the figures with weapons in their mouths climbed on it, and the stones fell, and with a bang, they smashed on the head of a Xirong soldier, and fell from the air with a terrible scream and fell to their deaths.

Before the soldier who had just cast the stone had time to rejoice, a feathered arrow flew from under the city, and the smiling Yantang Guan soldier fell down with the neck of the arrow, and his place was quickly filled by others.

The field of vision extends to the left and right, and the city pass is several miles long, and the dense figures are like ant colonies climbing up.

……

In the distance, where the battle was boiling, the black oppressive cavalry array was like a flowing stream intertwined around the middle side.

The burly and sturdy old man was dressed in full costume, his golden armor was covered with white animal hair, and he kept his eyes open for a long time, looking at the city wall with the sound of boiling and killing in front of him.

"Khan, today a breath should be able to take the city wall." Next to the oblique driver, he was talking about a middle-aged Confucian student, who was still dressed in a cyan robe, and he said softly: "This pass, it has existed for too long, so let's burn it." ”

Diagonal Yu retracted his gaze and looked at this Confucian from Wei State, with a smile on his fierce face: "Your heart is more vicious than our Xirong people, but I am very satisfied with your words, this pass has blocked Xirong's iron hooves for too long, and thousands of our tribesmen died in front of it, and their heads were turned into boundaries by it on wooden stakes, this time, I will slaughter the Yan people in this pass and stick their heads all over their land." ”

He tilted his white head up.

"Last night, I had a dream, I dreamed that the warriors of Xirong had stepped on here, and the iron hooves trampled on the land of the Yan people, and I dreamed that the sky had witnessed our victory, and I thought that I would soon be able to return to my hometown of the grassland with countless prisoners, food, and gold, silver and iron tools of the Yan Kingdom!"

"I'll let you make this dream come true, honorable Khan." Luo Jingbin kept a smile at him as a scholar from the Central Plains.

Glancing sideways at him, he urged the horse to the front, drew his scimitar from his waist, and raised it.

"Intensify the attack, I will cut off the heads of all the Yan people in the city pass!"

Woo woo –

The horn of war is sounding again!

……

On the city wall, chaos, the shouts of fighting, and the screams of people converged together, far and near, and many Xijon people had already killed on the city wall.

A few red-haired barbarians followed the tall slave people to fight for their lives, and the flying rockets even ignited the leather jacket of a corpse, and in the midst of the black smoke, a Xijon man climbed the battlement, from above the fire, and pounced on the gun forest in front of him.

A stout barbarian named Barry slashed the swooping Xijon with an axe, and so did her well-proportioned sister Elsa, who sealed a gap in the ladder with a short axe in one hand and a steel knife in the other.

Barry rushed over and pulled her back, "You come back, don't risk you, let me come." ”

He pulled the woman behind him.

In the desolate sound of the horn, more figures swooped up like ants......

And in the field east of Yantang Pass, seven thousand Xirong cavalry divided into dozens of horse teams, intertwined and wandered nearby, the leader Yukun heard the sound of horns from the distant sky, he raised his face slightly, and raised the horse whip in his hand.

"Listen...... The Khan is conveying to us the clarion call for victory. ”

Yukun raised his horsewhip and whipped in the air.

"Now, we're holding back the walls on this side, putting pressure on them, and making them feel the fear that is in danger!"

The cavalry that let out a savage roar spread out one after another, and launched a guerrilla shooting towards the Yan army formation under the city pass.

Yu Kun sat on the back of his war horse, grasping the rhythm of the attack, consulting the information brought by the scouts around him from time to time, and controlling whether there were reinforcements from the Yan people around.

However, at this time, an ominous premonition grew in his heart, and he crept up like a plague without warning.

Hmmm-

Suddenly, an eagle roared, resounding overhead.

He looked up, and a huge goshawk spread its huge wings and soared into the sky, letting out a high-pitched cry.

There was a faint tremor on the ground beneath his feet.

……

On the city wall in the distance, Zheng He strode on the city wall, adjusting the defensive deployment, and his slightly shrill voice continued: "...... The Xirong cavalry on the opposite side did not dare to attack the city, so they could only shoot arrows for the robe below! ”

In the constantly adjusting command, he suddenly heard something, stopped, and couldn't help but look to the southeast, and his eyes passed, and it was a black line spreading.

"Here ......

He finally had a long-lost smile on his face, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled with excitement.

In the light of the morning sun, I saw the cavalry running in the distance, undulating like an ocean, glowing with a metallic sheen.

……

Outside the pass, Yu Kun, who commanded the light cavalry to attack and suppress the city pass, heard the movement, turned the horse's head suddenly, looked behind him, and his pupils contracted to the extreme in an instant.

It was a dense cavalry formation like a flood bursting the embankment, trembling through the land with a roar, facing the morning sun, and sweeping towards the sea of people in the most savage way.

"Enemy general!"

The two generals who rushed forward, their cloaks hunting, one red and one white, competed with each other, and held their longbows on horseback.

"You can recognize Lu Fengxian (Zhao Zilong)!"

Two different voices resounded in an instant, and two arrows flew towards Yukun with a whistling voice—

Let's start with a 4,000-word one, and basically straighten out the plot!
