Chapter 83: The Battle Curtain Begins

"It's better for me to go over, if the third prince has already gone to Chiyang City, I will rush over immediately. Yao Qinghan said.

"That's it. Cai Qidong said.

Du Xuanying hurried overnight, and when it was dawn, he still hadn't arrived at Chiyang City, but the scouts came to report that the five hundred men and horses that Yang Wancai had added had arrived.

This news made Du Xuan overjoyed, there were five hundred more people, and the number of dragon scale horse cavalry in his hands reached two thousand. Previously, it was easy to annihilate 5,000 barbarian cavalry with 2,000. If you fight to the limit, even against the barbarian tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry, you will have the power to fight. What's more, how could Du Xuan be stupid enough to go toe-to-toe with the barbarian army? As long as he took advantage of the highly mobile characteristics of the dragon scale horse, he could completely fly the kite of the barbarian army.

"Third son, the brute dog is ready to attack the city. This time, the barbarians sent most of their main forces. Less than 5,000 men were left to guard the tent of the Chinese army. Hu Benrui personally led a team of scouts to spy on the barbarian camp.

Du Xuan's face was overjoyed: "Good opportunity." Hu Benrui, you lead the scout camp to completely block all the passages around Chiyang City, and absolutely do not allow the barbarian scouts to appear in these passages. Keep an eye out for the movements of the barbarian army. Keep an eye on the battlefield and report to me every move of the enemy at any time!"

Du Changgeng stood on the city tower, looking at the swarming barbarian army, and suddenly felt a chill gushing out from the depths of his heart. The barbarians are serious, no longer tempting, and it is a thunderous blow as soon as they come up.

"Xu Liyuan! Tell me to go down, use all the tricks you can use! Whether you can withstand the attack of the barbarians depends on this battle!" Du Changgeng shouted.

Xu Liyuan could hear that there was something wrong with the general's tone today, and naturally, he had already seen the movement of the barbarian army outside the city wall. The Barbarians' attack today is very different from yesterday.

"Put on the fire oil! Hurry up and boil the gold juice over there, and you will use it later! Don't be idle, the rolling stones and rolling logs will be moved up first! Pay attention later, when the wild dogs shoot, you should dodge, don't stand stupidly at the battlements and be the targets of the wild dogs!" Xu Liyuan shouted and commanded the soldiers and civilians to make urgent defensive preparations.

In fact, most of the preparations have already been made. At this time, it is just a little more sufficient. The walls of the city were already filled with stones and rolling logs. Not long ago, there was a large iron pot with a raging fire burning underneath, and the soup in the cauldron had begun to tumble and emit a pungent stench. Although the defenders of the city were all new soldiers, who among the soldiers and civilians of the Chiyang Guard had never seen the defense of the city, and who did not know a trick to defend the city? It was just that they could not withstand the cruelty of the barbarians who were dealing with them.

Du Changgeng's expression was solemn, this was a completely uncertain war, he didn't know if Chiyang City could withstand this doomed attack.

The commander of the spurs, Xi Rigolige, was Lakshin's right-hand man, and Ximen's main attack was led by him. Xi Ri Gou Lige is a fierce general, who has followed Lakshen to crisscross the barbarian grassland for many years, and is also quite famous in the battle with Daqi. He was cruel in nature and slaughtered the city in Daqi many times.

"Sons and daughters, take this city! Three days without sealing the sword!" exclaimed Xi Rigoulig.

Xi Ri Golige turned out to be preparing to slaughter the city after capturing Chiyang City.

Everyone in Chiyang City threw themselves into this war, because everyone knew what the consequences would be after the city was destroyed. The tragic story has been staged countless times in the west of this Great Qi, and the blood and cruelty of the barbarians are deeply known to every Chiyang Guard.

Luo Xifeng was not guarding the general's mansion either, she was like one of the most ordinary women in Chiyang City at this time, they were using their meager strength to support the warriors on the city wall.

"When the battle starts, don't panic, hide against the wall, and you will be able to dodge the barbarians' bows and arrows. Our soldiers are defending us from this calamity with their flesh and blood, and when they come down, we will prepare hot meals for them. They are wounded, we bandage them, if they are killed, we raise children for them......" Luo Xifeng showed great composure, not in the slightest frightened by this impending cruel war.

A boy of about four or five was frightened into tears by the tense atmosphere of the coming war. Luo Xifeng walked over and put his hand on the boy's face: "You can't cry. You will be the warrior of our Chiyang City in the future, and Chiyang City will depend on you to defend it in the future. Don't be afraid, kid!"

"Will the dogs come in, will they kill us?" asked the boy, sobbing.

"No, they can't get in. As long as the people of our Chiyang City work together, as long as the men of our Chiyang City are not dead, they will not be able to come in. Luo Xifeng said.

"But my father died. Yesterday I was pierced through the neck by an arrow from a brute dog. Am I going to be shot through the neck by a wild dog's arrow?" the boy cried heavily.

"No, kid. The dog's bow and arrow could not penetrate the walls of Chiyang City. Where's your mother?" Luo Xifeng looked around, wanting to see where the boy's mother was.

"My father is dead, my mother is sleeping at home, and I can't wake up. The boy said aggrievedly.

"Take me to your house. Luo Xifeng had a sense of foreboding.

"Madam, the barbarians are coming soon, let's go back as soon as possible. Duane said worriedly.

"There's no hurry. Kid, take me to your house. Luo Xifeng gently took the boy's hand.

"Duan, what are you doing? Hurry up and tell Luo Yunnan and ask them to pay more attention to the situation at the West City Gate. The main force of the barbarians is at the West City Gate!" Du Changgeng shouted loudly.

Luo Yunnan is a thousand households in the guard camp. Luo Yunnan is Luo Xifeng's younger brother, and the guard camp is so important, Du Changgeng is naturally handed over to the person he trusts the most.

The military order was like a mountain, and Du An could only order the two Du Mansion family members to take care of Luo Xifeng, and hurriedly got on their horses and galloped to the guard camp.

Sou!

A cold arrow suddenly flew into Chiyang City, nailed to the roof of a wooden house not far away, the arrow pierced deep into the wood, and the shaft of the arrow was still shaking.

The siege began, and the barbarians officially attacked.

"Madam, the barbarians are attacking the city! go back quickly!" said a Dufu family member hurriedly.

"What's the panic?" Luo Xifeng glared at the man, "Walking against the edge of the house, the bow and arrow can't be shot." ”

The two family members of Du Mansion were so frightened by Luo Xifeng's momentum that they didn't dare to say anything more, even the kid was frightened.

"Don't be afraid, child. If we are fierce, the wild dog will be afraid. You tell Auntie, where is your home?" Luo Xifeng hurriedly comforted the child.

"My home is there. The little boy pointed to a small alley not far away.

Outside Chiyang City, the barbarians ran and fired arrows at the city wall. Although they attacked from the bottom up, their bows and arrows were very strong, and the arrows were like flying rays densely enveloping Chiyang City. Instead, the archers on the city wall were suppressed.
