Chapter 44: The North Wind and a Cloud (I)
Hearing the sound of the soft earth in the distance, Li Jingyu could already tell that it was the wheels of the siege vehicle squeezing the gravel road.
His face was still calm, but his heart was already rolling.
The rebels are so well prepared?
......
The scout's head just now was still bloodshot and swaying in the wind, and Li Jingyu caught a glimpse of the scout's terrified eyes that were still open to death, and caught countless complex emotions that were almost frozen from them.
The eyes seemed to mock him silently.
Li Jingyu felt a little disgusted, and quickly withdrew his eyes.
Thinking of this, Li Jingyu looked at it again, and Chang was proud.
Usually, seeing this Changdu County is commonplace, how do you know that the momentum that erupts at a critical time is so impressive, and where is it like the lord of a city when killing decisively, there is a faint hint of handsomeness.
Li Jingyu had some sympathy for this scout. This person was also frightened, and dared to disturb the morale of the army on such an occasion. Even if he had ten heads, it would not be enough for him
The scout said that it was a ghost army, and the rest of the people didn't believe it, but he Li Jingyu really listened to it. Although he didn't know what percentage it was, he believed that there must be the same monster he had fought with yesterday in this army outside the city.
Li Jingyu thought of this and rubbed the fine sweat on his hands, who knows what kind of thing this is, in the face of them whose bodies are extremely flexible and infinitely powerful, does the method of military formation he learned really work?
Li Jingyu struggled to overcome his fear of the unknown.
Fortunately, the goshawk he sent out to deliver the message should have reached the sunset border pass by this time, no matter what, as long as Feng Shuai gets the message, this group of rebels will definitely not be able to go far.
There are not many of them, and they should be the Black Armor Army strikers who don't know how to cross here.
In the face of them who are unknown, what they need to do is to brake quietly and guard this border city.
The empire has been peaceful for decades, and there are more than 100,000 elite Northwest Legions and tens of thousands of county soldiers in Longbei on display in the north, that is, the black armor army that claims to have 20,000 can really penetrate in, presumably it is also a mantis arm as a car.
Hey, I just don't know how they're going to use that kind of monster?
"Dujun, prepare more stones, we will defend this place, it won't be long before the handsome reinforcements will arrive. Li Jingyu said to Chang Weirong, who was wearing heavy armor in front of him.
The old man was looking at the army outside the city, and when he heard Li Jingyu's words, he turned his head, and the hatred for the monster in the corner of his eye could not be completely hidden.
"General Li doesn't have to worry, I often have someone who will defend this city even if he is broken. ”
Chang Weirong paused and added.
"It made General Li laugh before. ”
Li Jingyu tasted the previous two words, smiled and shook his head, "Human nature." ”
"The general was also seriously wounded. Chang Weirong put away his momentum and pointed to a blood flower that had soaked out of Li Jingyu's green robe at some point.
Li Jingyu lowered his head inexplicably, and only then did he notice the stinging pain in his chest. This must have been too much force just now, and the wound was opened.
Once the consciousness was concentrated, the pain began to roll and surge.
Li Jingyu gritted his teeth and nodded, straightened up and whispered a few words to Chang Weirong, and finally walked down the city wall with the support of several personal soldiers.
Not far from the northern city wall, Durry found a wooden house used to store miscellaneous goods in the early years, and after taking care of the bed, he invited the general in.
......
Li Jingyu sat on the bed with a pale face and untied his green robe, the gauze on his chest was already soaked with blood at this time, he wanted to open his mouth and ask Du Rui to help him get some warm water, but a sharp pain suddenly attacked, and he almost couldn't control his screaming.
The captain of the pro-soldier hurried over to help him change the layer of gauze.
Li Jingyu smiled self-deprecatingly: "This monster, before he died, he didn't forget to scratch a claw on my chest." ”
Durry didn't answer, silently picking open the wound that had stuck to the gauze, and then applying some of the remaining contemplation grass from the day.
......
"The big war is coming, the brothers are guarding the city, and I, as the main general, actually hide in this corner and lick my wounds, what a great majesty!"
Du Rui responded: "With General Chen here and the brothers from the Xiuzi battalion here, it shouldn't be a problem for this city to defend for a few days." “
Finally, he added.
"That Changdu County doesn't look like a mediocre ......"
Li Jingyu nodded, putting on an apologetic and painful smile.
There were still a lot of doubts in his heart at this moment, but he couldn't think about it anymore, the condensing grass coated on the wound was already sending waves of sleepiness down his limbs towards his brain.
"Du, Rui, keep an eye on it, let's wait for the handsome ......"
"General, let's recover quickly. "The captain of the pro-soldier covers the bedding.
......
The sky was slightly shining.
Li Jingyu only slept for two or three hours before waking up
At this moment, Du Rui in the hut was holding a map of the northwestern counties and looking at it.
"The general is awake?" Durry smiled, but his brow was still tightly locked.
"Did you siege the city last night?"
"The rebels have been relatively calm. Du Rui raised his hand and found a towel dipped in warm water and handed it to Li Jingyu.
"Well, we ......"
Li Jingyu's voice did not fall, and there was a commotion on the city not far away.
Someone shouted, "What kind of monster is that?"
Soon after, it turned into a boiling panic.
Li Jingyu casually picked up a towel and wiped it on his face, and hurriedly rushed to the city tower with seven or eight personal soldiers.
"The rebels are coming!"
The low sound of the horn on the city wall sounded, Li Jingyu shook off a few hands that were supporting his own soldiers, and walked up to the city tower in three or two steps to look out, regardless of the pain.
Monsters, everywhere you look, are all monsters.
In the early morning, a dark cloud was pouring through the mist and surging from outside the northern city.
Most of the monsters are not wearing armor, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, including spears, scimitars, short blades, bows and arrows, and Li Jingyu even saw some with hoes in the middle.
They formed a total of nine phalanxes, large and small, and in front of each phalanx stood a well-armoured, leader-like monster. They were not in a neat line in the phalanx, and occasionally two or three would collide with each other, causing several cascading falls, at which point the tall leader in front of the phalanx would turn around and stop the group.
Li Jingyu carefully looked at the sharp horns on the head of one of the tall monsters, who had just finished tidying up the team and turned its head towards him.
The leader looked like he had only seven or eight portraits of the one he had encountered yesterday.
The bright yellow eyes swept Li Jingyu a little stunned.
......
"There is an order in the capital! Those who retreat will be killed. "There are flag officers carrying the white city flag waving in the wind, running back and forth between the city tower and the army.
