The defenders of Tamagawa Castle were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after Dinu's attack was suspended. However, Liu Cangshui did not relax his vigilance, he asked everyone to rest while maintaining vigilance.

The white-haired veteran Xu Ye came to Liu Cangshui. He said proudly: "General, Dinu has killed hundreds of people in this attack, and our old brothers are not even injured. ”

Liu Cangshui nodded after listening, and then returned: "Okay, I know." Lao Xu, you can rest for a while. ”

Lao Xu leaned on the edge of the city wall, took out a water hyacinth from his back, and handed it to Liu Cangshui: "General, you've been fighting for a while, you should be thirsty, right? Come, drink some water." ”

Liu Cangshui pursed his chapped lips, and then waved his hand: "Don't be thirsty, you drink first." ”

Lao Xu insisted on stuffing the gourd in front of Liu Cangshui: "Don't worry, general, although the water in the well is almost bottoming out, it is not enough for everyone to drink." Drink up, I don't think Dinu will give up today, and there should be a fight in a while. ”

Liu Cangshui smiled, and then took Lao Xu's gourd, but did not drink it first, but handed it to Liu Changqing on the side. Then Liu Cangshui said: "Xiao Changqing, come, drink some water first." Lao Xu was right, Di Nu retreated too early this time, not as fierce as usual, and he would definitely attack again in a while. ”

Liu Changqing took out a skin water bladder from his back and shook it, indicating that he had water.

Liu Cangshui nodded, picked up the gourd and took a sip, and couldn't bear to drink more of this ordinary water as a precious wine. Liu Cangshui handed the gourd back to Lao Xu, and then joked with a smile: "However, if this Lan Huer is going to squat because he had a bad stomach yesterday, then he will indeed have to retire from the army in advance, hahahahaha." ”

After listening to Liu Cangshui's cold joke, Liu Changqing looked at him indifferently, then shook his head and sighed: "Hey...... God is really fair, and he will not let one person monopolize all the benefits. ”

After listening to this, Liu Cangshui asked, "What do you mean?"

Liu Changqing said to Xu Ye on the side: "Master Xu, can you solve the old general's doubts?"

Liu Cangshui immediately turned his head to look at Lao Xu and asked, "What does this kid mean?"

Lao Xu knew that Liu Changqing was sarcastically mocking Liu Cangshui for telling cold jokes, so he subconsciously avoided looking out of the city. This is a terrible look.

"General, look!" Lao Xu shouted in surprise as he pointed out of the city.

Liu Cangshui also immediately looked out of the city vigilantly, and following the direction pointed out by the veteran Xu Ye, Liu Cangshui saw the new guy that Di Nu had moved in.

In the black-pressed Dinu army, several shield carts were slowly approaching. The front of them was made of thick long-rolling logs to form a giant wooden shield, and there were many people hidden underneath, and as long as the Dinu soldiers hid under this thing and advanced, the arrows could not help them.

If you use a shield car, why not use a ladder car?

This is because this Tamagawa Castle is located on a low hill, and only the main gate has a huge slope to go up to. Although it is called a low mountain, it is actually 15 zhang high (about 50 meters), and the side of the tall ladder car cannot be reached, and it is difficult and slow to come up from the narrow slope of the main entrance, so it can only be used as a target for the stone thrower.

Except for the slope and the main entrance, the three sides of the main gate are smooth cliffs that have been polished by the wind and sand, and it is difficult to climb. And the erection of the ladder car in the past is even more of a joke, the city wall above is condescending, a flying arrow boulder, only so that the adventurous person has no return.

Although the slope of Tamagawa City was difficult to climb, several of Lan Huer's shield carts were still reluctantly advancing slowly.

Liu Cangshui looked at the Dinu army that was counting one, two, three loudly, and struggling to advance again, he patted Lao Xu, and then said: "Lan Huer, this kid, is sick and rushed to the doctor. Go, get 'that thing' ready, and give them a good skewer meeting in a moment, and let them have fun." ”

Lao Xu also smiled and understood after hearing this, and called some veterans after hugging his fists, and then he didn't know where he went.

Liu Changqing asked anxiously: "Old general, this shield cart is only afraid that the arrows will not penetrate, how is it good?"

Liu Cangshui teased with a smug face: "Xiao Changqing, how many years have you not fought a battle to defend the city?

Liu Changqing didn't reply, but lowered his head in shame. For so many years in Xiguan, they occasionally drove down the small tribes that came to rob, and the few times they fought were field battles. Other than that, Neiguan has hardly fought any serious battles. Liu Changqing believes that most of the reasons should be because General Liu has been guarding this Yuchuan City alone, thus dragging a large number of enemy troops, resulting in peace in Neiguan for so many years.

This group of old people, whose average age is over the age of old, has almost exchanged their entire lives for peace in the west of Daxuan. However, and Liu Changqing himself only learned about their existence more than ten days ago, which makes people feel so guilty!

The most infuriating thing is that Chen San, a veteran who reported the news, was also detained by the assassin Ding Xiuran as a spy. If General Zhao hadn't kept an eye on it and asked him to sneak out to investigate, I am afraid that this group of old heroes would be forgotten forever in this outer pass.

Seeing that Liu Changqing, who usually has a poisonous mouth like a snake, is like a defeated rooster at this moment, it makes Liu Cangshui very unaccustomed to it all of a sudden. Liu Cangshui gently patted Liu Changqing's shoulder, and then said, "Xiao Changqing, I'll tease you." It's okay, it doesn't matter, you'll know what to do with that in a moment. ”

Immediately afterward, only the rumbling of wheels could be heard from the other side of the city wall.

Liu Changqing hurriedly looked over, only to see Lao Xu with a group of veterans, dragging out a few big guys from the fortress at the other end of the city wall, which were tightly covered by huge tablecloths.

The front of this unknown thing looked like it had been cut in half and was about a man tall. Liu Changqing looked at it and thought about it, and suddenly reacted suddenly, and hurriedly asked Liu Cangshui: "Old general!

Liu Cangshui laughed and returned: "You guessed it before you took off the cloth cover?" I just said, how can anyone who is a border army not know this thing, hahahahaha." ”

Under Lao Xu's arrangement, this left one at every other place on the city wall, and after a while, this big guy was arranged.

Liu Changqing looked at the shield cart that was almost halfway up the slope outside the city, and then smiled rarely: "Hmph! Slave thief, I'll let you know in a while!"

Lao Xu came over and said: "Captain Liu, do you think this is the end? We still have a trick, you just take a good look, and see how the thieves in the city will become chickens and dogs for a while!"
