Dead Hold (4)

Outside the city of Yuezhou, the originally clear moat has now become muddy; if in previous years, the merchants and visitors who came and went had to go through strict investigations, forcibly controlled the entry and exit of the people, and the outside of the city were overgrown with wild flowers and weeds, and in the spring and summer, those flowers grew unrestrained, and the whole outside of the city was purple and red, and it was very beautiful.

But now, with the arrival of the army and the attacks of the back and forth, the original paradise of butterflies has become a barren, and a gust of wind blows, and the yellow sand rises suddenly. There was even a slight smell of blood in the air.

After staring at the moat for a long time, the filthy water was dark red.

The sky was dawning, and the drums of war were sounding.

Under the city of Yuezhou.

Smoke and dust are everywhere outside the north, east and west gates.

The soldiers guarding the city gate had been tortured enough during this time, and when they heard the sound of war drums, they rubbed their sleepy eyes vigorously, and then leaned their waists and poked their heads out to look.

But before he could see the scene under the city, a long arrow pierced his head.

This soldier who has been a soldier for more than ten years and often oppresses the people by virtue of his identity finally fell on the city wall at the age of retirement.

When his head and body rested limply on the wall, the rest of the defenders suddenly came to their senses.

They immediately looked down at the city, only to see smoke and dust everywhere, and they couldn't see what was going on inside.

When the smoke and dust cleared, I saw tens of thousands of armor soldiers lined up neatly under the city, and then the morning sun gradually rose, and their Changge and armor looked unusually bright in the sun.

The veterans who defended the city had experienced many battles, but this one was really shocked.

They didn't know how the soldiers had touched the city at night, and they hadn't even noticed.

It wasn't until they beat the drums of war that they knew they were coming to the city.

They no longer knew if it was because their guards were too lax or because their opponents were too strong.

These veterans looked at the enemy who was waiting under the city tower, and couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and only then did they take action and hurriedly sent people to run towards the Han Mansion.

Liu Chenglang boarded the north gate and looked at the soldiers at his feet, even he was a little frightened.

At this time, he was a little envious of Xu Changan, Jiang Ming and Guo Fen, after all, soldiers are in the essence and not in the many, and they will no longer be brave but strategic. He asked himself that he was not inferior to the three of them in terms of strategy, but the quality of this soldier was supreme, and he was much weaker than the three of them.

He looked at the enemy downstairs, sighed, and could only say quietly: "Defend it!"

After speaking, his face was a little solemn, and he looked into the distance, which was the place where the pillar of light rose the night before.

The ancestor of the Han family wanted to send someone to take a look, but he stopped him.

He knew that this was what Xu Gongzi wanted, and he also understood why the handsome-looking man wanted to help them again and again.

Most people in the world have a disposition, and they can't afford to be early if they are not profitable.

It turned out that he just wanted to use the Han family to help delay time.

He didn't say much, he just glanced at the Han family ancestor deeply, then shook his head, and communicated with Lin Fufeng.

The ancestor of the Han family knew what he meant, and also looked at Lin Fufeng.

A smart person can speculate a lot of things with just one look, and the ancestor of the Han family looked at him and knew why the southern tribe would spare no effort to help him.

The soldiers roared, red blood splattered, severed arms and stumps flew sideways, many people were red-eyed, and even the moat gradually turned from dark red to bright red.

The three gates attacked together, even the East Gate Guo Fen faced the army as if he was dying, he took the lead in the charge, and Lin Fufeng was caught off guard.

As for the West Gate, the heavy armored infantry faced the heavy armored infantry, and under the command of Zhao Jin, the Chu mountain array had the upper hand.

However, correspondingly, they had consumed more soldiers in this attack than they had in the previous month.

Jiang Ming's offensive was like a tide, wave after wave, even if Liu Chenglang was in charge, he could only watch the soldiers of the Holy Dynasty set up the ladder and climb the city wall.

Liu Chenglang sighed, he didn't panic, he sat quietly in his wheelchair.

Wang Huihai was beside him, using a black giant sword to help him block the flying arrows, and also killed a few soldiers who had climbed the city gate.

Ryu Seunglang looked at the sky, he seemed to be waiting for something.

A soldier climbed up, and he saw a lame man in a wheelchair and a somewhat swarthy strong man behind him.

These soldiers have suffered losses under Liu Chenglang, so they naturally know the famous white-clothed prime minister.

If he can kill this person, he will not only be able to avenge the brothers who died in the attack and defense of Nanfeng, but also win the first credit.

He didn't think about it, so he rushed towards Liu Chenglang.

Just as he approached the lame man who was quietly sitting in a wheelchair, a black light flashed.

A soldier was split in half from top to bottom in front of Yoo Seung-lang, blood splattering on his white robe and face.

He glanced at Wang Huihai, without saying a word, and wiped the warm blood on his face.

"Let's go, I'm a little tired. He said to Wang Huihai.

Wang Huihai wiped the blood stains on the sword with a piece of linen, pinned the linen cloth to his waist casually, and then stood behind Liu Chenglang and pushed him downstairs slowly.

The ancestor of the Han family was a little hesitant.

Since Liu Chenglang gave him that look, he pondered it carefully, and then realized that things were not simple.

He glanced at his eldest son and thought about it, so don't tell him about it yet.

Just as the three armies were attacking the city, he sent Han Shihai to guard the west gate.

The ancestor of the Han family knew that he was not the opponent of the Holy Dynasty, and he had already faintly retreated when he saw his two sons drinking and chatting before, and after Liu Chenglang's eyes, he didn't want to be a victim of the battle between the two behemoths.

Naturally, the Holy Dynasty did not need to have many soldiers, and the other side was the people who could dominate the five tribes in the south at will.

He thought for a moment and pulled a bag out of his bosom.

The old man poked his head out and looked around to see that there was no one around, and then he opened the bag.

This bag was given to him by Liu Chenglang, and he knew that Liu Chenglang should have some things that were not good to say to his face, so he would say some ambiguous words and remind himself to find this bag under the gate of the Han Mansion.

The ancestor of the Han family opened the bag, and there was only one sentence on it.

After he finished reading it, he immediately summoned Han Zhi, who was gearing up to go to the battlefield.

Han Zhi looked at his grandfather and immediately bowed respectfully.

Since he was a child, his father didn't care much about him, and in his impression, his father only cultivated.

When he was very young, he studied seriously with Mr. Teacher, only his grandfather would check his homework, and his father never asked, he would only hide in that dark secret room to practice; even if those gentlemen of the Hanlin Academy taught him and gave him a "top grade" assessment, his father would only say "good" lightly, and then plunged into the secret room.

Later, he only got into trouble everywhere and drank. After beating a few gentlemen who compiled books in the Hanlin Academy, and even stripped them naked and hung them on trees, or went to Pingkangfang to make those great officials who were looking for pleasure unable to get off the stage, his father would put more experience and time on him.

Han Zhi also looked like a gentleman from that time.

No one is born with a gentleman, and all gentlemen have a heart that needs to be noticed.

Later, Han Shihai didn't bother to care about this son, so he let him go, if anyone didn't open his eyes, didn't go to the road, and bit the Han family, he didn't bother to say anything, and he would never talk to people if he could do it directly.

However, most of the time, the trouble caused by the two fathers needs to be explained and appeased by his grandfather.

He had seen his grandfather groveling with a wine glass and apologizing to people more than once, and he had seen his grandfather write letters in the middle of the night more than once, and as soon as the morning dawned, he went to someone's house to pay a visit, took out a stack of thick silver tickets and handed them in.

He knew that his grandfather was all for him.

In Yuedi, his Han family said the same, but in Chang'an, he still needs to be a man with his tail between his legs.

Therefore, he has great respect for this grandfather.

Knowing that his grandfather called him, he didn't even bother to take off his armor, and hurriedly ran back to the Han family's mansion.

The ancestor of the Han family glanced at his grandson and slapped him in the face at will.

Han Zhi didn't know why his grandfather suddenly slapped him, he covered his face and looked at his grandfather, not knowing why.

The ancestor of the Han family said in a deep voice: "You scourge, what do you want to do in armor?"

Han Zhi lowered his head and whispered, "Go and help my father defend the city!"

"Does he need your help?"

The ancestor of the Han family said fiercely, he rolled up his sleeves, his beard was curled, and his face was a little blue.

"It's you scourge, who is not good to provoke, you have to provoke Xu Changan, look at it now!"

Han Zhi looked at his grandfather dumbfounded, when Xu Changan was rescued by that cheap second uncle, his father and grandfather didn't say a word.

Even if Nanfeng, Chuijiang and Qiwu were lost, they didn't say anything, why did they suddenly talk about this stubble today?

"......"

"What can it be!" The ancestor of the Han family seemed to be very angry, and his face turned from blue to red.

"Lao Tzu's hard-earned foundation has been defeated in the hands of your unlucky thing, if he can, the old man would rather not have your grandson!"

Finally, he put down his hand dejectedly and turned around, his back a little stiff.

"You go, just let me Han family have no scourge like you. ”

Han Zhi was struck by lightning, stunned in place, and all kinds of grievances from childhood to adulthood immediately came to mind.

Without his mother, without his father's discipline, he didn't dare to say anything when he was bullied, he remembered the scenes of the past, and also remembered the anger that the old man had suffered for him.

He wiped his tears, gritted his teeth, and finally removed his armor, knelt on the ground, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the old man who had his back to him. Then, he left without looking back.

The old man almost couldn't help but turn around the moment his grandson knelt down, he always knew that his grandson was smart, if it weren't for some chaos in his father's generation, judging from the intelligence he showed when he was a child, he should not be weaker than those so-called role models now, Tanhua.

But in the end, he still held back, because this was the only bloodline of his Han family.

The man who said nothing in Yuezhou turned around, tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.

He looked at the wide open door and said softly: "Child, go all the way, don't tell anyone where you have been!"

A sigh sounded at the door, and Han Shihai appeared at the door.

"Do you blame me?" asked the old man.

Han Shihai shook his head and looked in the direction where Han Zhi had gone.

"Actually, it's for me, if it weren't for the nonsense we listened to by that group of mysterious people, father, you always wanted me to enter the Great Grandmaster, and then make up for my physical shortcomings, I wouldn't have made such a fuss. ”

Han Shihai said softly.

The old man glanced at his son and bowed his head.

At the beginning, he also mistakenly believed the rumors, saying that this exercise could wash the muscles and cut the marrow, so that his eldest son changed the exercises, causing a family tragedy. In fact, the root of all this is because of his own greed.

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and it didn't happen.

Han Shihai patted his father's shoulder, and then said, "Don't think about it so much, I'm at this age, and some things have already been thought about." ”

After finishing speaking, Han Shihai turned around and left.

......

As the river turned red and the screams became louder, the city of Yuezhou crumbled.

Simon.

Zhao Jin commanded the Chu Mountain Formation, and at first he could only have a slight upper hand, but as time passed, the soldiers of Li Hui and Yuezhou gradually lost their physical strength, and when Zhao Jin saw this, the Chu Mountain Formation was like a wall made of steel, slowly advancing towards the city gate!

The huge log kept pounding against the gate, and it seemed that the west gate would not last long.

Han Shihai looked down from the city, his face expressionless.

Zhi'er is gone, even if he dies here, as long as Zhi'er passes the lower half of his body safely, he has no regrets.

The only pity is that he can't see the child get married and have children, and he doesn't know what kind of girl that stinky boy will marry in the future, ordinary girls can't control him.

But it's a little regrettable, if the child gets married in the future, there is no elder to preside, it will be very bad, right? However, he can't care so much.

He looked down at the city, where the Chu Mountain Formation of the Chinese army was banging against the city gate with huge logs, while Xue Pan and his younger brother, the vanguard on both sides, were bravely moving forward, directing the soldiers to climb the wall with ladders.

The corpses piled up at the foot of the city were already more than a foot high.

Han Shihai looked at his younger brother, if the war is won, his younger brother should have an official.

When the time comes, if the child gets married, if it can be found, it will not be regarded as without elders.

Han Shihai, who was standing at the head of the city, smiled slightly.

He touched the small bronze lamp in his arms, and by this time, he knew that cultivation and being a complete man didn't seem to be so important.

He only now felt like a father, and he had never really cared about this son before.

He took out the small bronze lamp and was about to throw it away, but someone grabbed his hand.

Lin Fufeng in a green shirt.

Lin Fufeng looked at the small bronze lamp in his hand with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "This is a good thing, how can the head of the family discard it at will." ”

Han Shihai glanced at Lin Fufeng and replied lightly: "My things, you can throw them away if you want, what do you have to do with them?"

Lin Fufeng withdrew the hand that was holding him, took out a jade pendant from his arms and shook it in front of his eyes.

"I just saw a good show, grandparents and grandchildren are emotional!"

Han Shihai turned his head abruptly and looked at the jade pendant in his hand, which was the jade pendant given to him by his father when Han Zhi was apprenticed, and Zhi'er had always worn it close to his body.

A hint of anger appeared in Han Shihai's eyes.

Lin Fufeng smiled, and then leaned into his ear.

"The young master wants you to become a great grandmaster and resist the footsteps of the Holy Dynasty army to the death. ”

After saying that, he walked away.

Han Shihai looked at the mountain formation advancing into the city, and looked at Qin Hai, who was sorting out the team.

He didn't think much about it, jumped off the city, stunned the defenseless Qin Hai with one palm, and then threw it aside.

"Yuezhou soldiers, go out of the city and kill the enemy!"

"Coexist and die with Yuezhou City!"

The head of the Han family roared twice, the city gate was opened, and the scarred mountain formation was once again put on battle armor!
