"Report~" A soldier ran all the way from outside the courtyard and knelt in the courtyard of General Qin, but Xu Ao, Xu Hu and others, who were discussing here, were startled: "There is movement in the Beidi army outside the city, it seems that it is going to attack the city! General Le Niu specially ordered a small person to come to deliver a letter! I also ask you to go to the council hall quickly to discuss countermeasures." ”

It's been a few days since I returned to the city, and the siege equipment that Beidi was waiting for must have arrived.

At the head of the lonely bamboo city, Xu Ao looked at the Beidi army outside the city blankly, and the whole person almost fell into a stupor. The appearance of the vast sea of people is not far behind when the armies of Qin and Yan went out of the city and the northern expedition.

Although it does not have the bright armor of the Qin and Yan armies at the beginning, the majestic physique exercised in the bitter cold land also has a unique majesty.

At this moment, not only Xu Ao, but even the faces of the generals behind Xu Ao were extremely difficult to see. 50,000 defeated soldiers with minor and serious casualties, plus 100,000 defenders who were like frightened birds. In the face of Beidi's army of nearly one million tigers and wolves, it is necessary to defend the city of Guzhu, which is not tall and the city defense is not sharp. No matter who you are, your heart is heavy.

"It's a pity, why isn't Zhaohua City under your feet. A Yan army general muttered.

Xu Ao turned his head and glanced at him, Zhaohua City, why, I feel that hundreds of thousands of people have died in Zhaohua City, and I still expect Beidi to do another feat of slaughtering the city by wild gods?

The Yan general also seemed to notice everyone's angry expressions, and only then did he realize that he had really said the wrong thing. This group of people who were chased all the way back from the north, the most taboo is probably the three words of Zhaohua City.

"Alas, it would be nice if it was on the Great Wall of the North. A young general of the Qin army also said.

Yes, if in the North Great Wall, with the seventy zhang high and fifty zhang thick city wall, even if Beidi has siege equipment, it is not easy to climb up. Everyone was secretly angry in their hearts, how could this Yan country not know that building a city wall along the northern border would completely eliminate the scourge of years of war in Yanbei.

"Okay, don't complain. In today's situation, think about how to defend Lonely Bamboo City is true. Xu Ao didn't care in his heart, at the beginning of the Sunset Pass, which was difficult for birds to enter, the armored people of Xirong had not touched the city. No matter how tall the walls of this Kyushu world are built, that is, to guard against ordinary armies, for those masters who fly the eaves and walk the walls at every turn, what is the difference between a fifty-zhang city wall and a five-inch high city wall.

"Young Master Xu, do General Qin and General Le have any ideas? If you hear something, I hope to let you know. We also have a score in our hearts. A captain led by Qin Jun asked. Xu Ao looked back, this captain was probably about sixty or seventy years old, standing on the high place at the head of the city, and when the cold wind blew, he was a little trembling.

How dare Xu Ao say that at this time, the city guard mansion has become a pot of porridge.

The disadvantages of the two sets of leadership groups of the two armies of Qin and Yan were exposed at this moment.

The Yan army wanted to hold on and wait for reinforcements, after all, when they were about to arrive in Zhaohua City, there was news from the rear, and hundreds of thousands of people's private troops and the like had been arranged to form an army to maintain law and order and recover the lost territory, and it had already driven north. As long as you can hold out until they arrive, there is still hope that you can win this battle. What's more, judging from the many years of war between the Yan army and Beidi, they will not stay on the territory of Yan for long, and they will basically return to the north after looting the necessary property and food.

The idea of the Qin army was to find a way to break through and use the range advantage of the bow and crossbow to slowly consume Beidi. Holding on to this small city and fighting nearly a million people with more than 100,000 people is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg.

The two sides refused to give in to each other, and for a time the entire council hall was in chaos.

Xu Ao just couldn't stand the repeated quarrels there, so he went to the city wall to breathe. Who knew that he had encountered this group of partial generals who couldn't enter the council hall and the captain was first-class.

Xu Ao was silent, he didn't know at all what he could say and what he couldn't. If you say something you shouldn't say, how much trouble will it cause.

Fortunately, Beidi seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, a topless Beidi general, holding a weapon and riding a war horse approaching the city gate not far away, shouted at the tower in the moat: "Do you have a handle, go out of the city to fight with grandpa!

For a while, everyone was attracted by this Beidi general who came to call the battle single-handedly.

I saw that this person was holding a nine-ring big knife in his hand, wearing an armor that had been stripped off the body of an unknown Qin army general, and his bulging arms almost broke the wristband. The head is combed with the traditional braided hair of Beidi, and the fine shaved near the ears is polished. The brown tattoo on his face is a lone wolf with a howling moon.

He shouted for a while, and when he saw that no one answered, he suddenly pointed at Xu Ao on the city wall with the tip of his knife: "That little hairy boy, quickly tell your adults to come out and die!"

Xu Ao looked at it coldly and did not answer.

Seeing that Xu Ao was unmoved, the Beidi general raised his left hand high. The people and horses behind him automatically separated a road, and two tall Beidi men escorted a Qin army and a Yan army to the side of the Beidi general, and the Beidi general shouted at Xu Ao: "Go back and inform your lord, when half a stick of incense, I want to see a person who goes out of the city to compare with me, otherwise I will use these two people to sacrifice the big knife in my hand!"

There was chaos in the city, and there were those who wanted to inform Qin Le and the two generals, those who couldn't help but want to go down to the city to fight with Beidi, and those who were panicked and had no owner.

Xu Aoqiang endured his anger and looked at these headless generals like flies. This is the elite of Qin and Yan who have been trained for a long time? It is simply inferior to the small soldiers who maintain law and order in Xianyang City.

"Come, come, raise their heads, let them see, what kind of waste their generals are!" The two people under the city were forcibly pinched their chins and raised their heads, their faces were full of haggard and scars, so that people couldn't see their original appearance at all. The one wearing Qin Army's clothes was even cut off his ears and nose. Only four bottomless holes remained.

Xu Ao clenched his fists suddenly. Although they were far away, he still recognized at a glance that the one who had his nose and ears cut off was not the pony who took care of General Qin's daily life.

The two people captured under the city looked at the panicked people in the city in despair. My heart was full of sorrow. Although he knew that it was impossible for anyone to go out of the city to rescue them, who could really see it and face death calmly. Who doesn't have a trace of extravagant hope in their hearts, hoping that someone will lead the army to rush out and save them from this boundless sea of suffering.

But what were they waiting for, the generals who were bewildered at the head of the city. It was the closed gates, the archers who gradually came out of their bodies.

Is this the country that once fought bloodily?!
