Just after the beginning of spring this year, although the Great Zhou Kingdom is suffering from internal and external troubles, it can barely maintain the fake state of singing and dancing. But last year, the herdsmen of Beidi coincided with a severe drought, and there was no harvest, and countless cattle, sheep and horses starved to death. Wang Gubu united with the surrounding eleven tribes, gathered heavy troops, and 100,000 iron horsemen went south, intending to go to the Great Zhou Kingdom to loot in order to survive this natural disaster. If you can still conquer the city and then extort some silk food from the Great Zhou Emperor, then of course it is the best.

At dawn on this day, the army of the Beidi people came to Xiangyang City to take a battle, Xiangyang guarded Li Fu, and the general of Zhenxi Wu Tiande commanded the soldiers, climbed the city tower, inspected the three armies, and garrisoned four city towers respectively. Wu Tiande knew Li Fu's temperament, and was afraid that he would abandon the city, so he also sent the left and right deputy generals to monitor him.

Ascending the city and looking at it, I saw that the mountains were full of enemy troops, and there was no end in sight, on the top of a hill, twelve large ridges stood tall, representing the alliance of twelve tribes. Wu Yuru saw that the enemy's morale was rising, and he couldn't help but lose his face, and thought to himself: "The various tribes of Beidi have contradictions with each other, and they are constantly fighting and trying to annex each other, so they don't pose a threat to my Great Zhou." Coinciding with the continuous drought of the grassland in recent years, these barbarians know that "the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached". ”

As soon as the east was brightened, in the Beidi army, there were shamans wearing furs, skulls around their necks, and antlers on their heads, stepping out of the ranks, walking on the high platform that had just been built, reciting the sacred scriptures loudly, and then sacrificing antelopes alive to their ancestors.

After the sacrifice, they heard the sound of horns and drums, and the Beidi people launched a siege. Fortunately, Wu Tiande has rich experience in fighting with Beidi, is familiar with the enemy's siege strategy, and has already deployed in the city, no matter what means the enemy uses, he ordered people to crack them one by one. The battle lasted until the sun climbed up the hill, and the Beidi people lost more than 1,000 soldiers under the city, but they followed up and attacked the city bravely, forgetting their lives and death, and they did not know their cowardice.

On the contrary, the defenders of Xiangyang City are a drop in the bucket. In the past few years, the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been in deficit year after year, and the military expenses and food have long been unable to be paid, and the defenders of Xiangyang have been less than half of the quota. Beidi people attacked the city several times, the military appearance of the order, the prosperity of the soldiers, to this time as the most, fortunately, there are hundreds of thousands of residents in Xiangyang City, all know that the day of the city is the death period, the strong men in the city have to defend the city, the manpower is barely enough. But no one can say for sure whether the huge city of Xiangyang will be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

Wu Yuru wore armor and stood at the head of the city with his father to supervise the battle, seeing that the city was stained with blood, and the earth had lost its true color, but the sky was clear and auspicious, and I didn't know if this was considered a beautiful day.

Looking down, the moat was now filled with corpses, and it was useless. Outside the city, the Beidi people are like flying locusts, and the ladders are like forests; the fires in the city are one after another, and women and children are running through the streets and alleys, carrying baskets to fetch water to extinguish the fire.

Suddenly, I heard the Beidi people under the city hula, ghosts crying wolves, and the sound became one, it was really like a landslide and tsunami, and the offensive was also slowed down. Wu Yuru looked around, but saw that the enemy army in front of the door was pushing away left and right like a tide, and the brute wrestlers of the hundred-person phalanx were slowly moving forward with the sound of drums. Seeing this, the soldiers at the head of Xiangyang City couldn't help but gasp. You must know that among the herdsmen of Beidi, the brute wrestlers are all ace soldiers who do not fall into chieftains, and they cannot be used easily. And the number of people is extremely scarce, even among the largest tribes in the grassland, they can't get together this hundred-person phalanx!

At this time, I heard Wu Tiande shouting at the deputy general: "Quickly transfer the ballista to the head of the city, shoot me! Shoot to death! Don't let a brute force go up to the city wall!"

When the Beidi people saw the brute force join the siege, they were like the god of war coming, and their morale soared. Another trumpet sounded, and the tigers roared and continued to attack the city. This wave of siege was much more fierce than the previous times, and I saw the Beidi people climbing hundreds of ladders like ants, holding Teng shields in their hands, and defending against bows and arrows shot from the city.

Seeing this, Wu Tiande couldn't help but pull out his sword, raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers! Today, the Beidi people are attacking, and the general and you will kill the enemy together, and the blood will stain the city. If you can not die, you will worship as brothers, and you will be blessed and enjoy hardships in the future!"

The siege battle lasted until noon, and neither side had any intention of stopping to rest, and was still fighting to the death. The phalanx besieging the city changed wave after wave, and the corpses under the city were pushed like a mountain, but the Beidi people were like evil ghosts, and the follow-up teams were constantly flocking to the city gate, stepping on the corpses and still attacking the city. Fortunately, there are still a lot of ballistas in the city, which effectively contain the brute force phalanx, making it difficult to move an inch, otherwise the city will not be lost.

Wu Yuru saw a group of people in the city coming here, two of them were Li Fu, the Taishou of Xiangyang, and Li Fu's eldest son, Li Yi. was wondering about the intention of these two people, Li Fu had already gone to the city, so he heard him ask Wu Yuru: "Sister Yuru, what about the other generals?"

Wu Yuru pointed at her father, who was fighting a spy battle at the head of the city, and snorted coldly: "Father is killing the enemy." Taishou is not at the south gate to supervise the battle, what are you doing at the north gate?"

Li Fu hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice with an earthy face: "Xiao...... Little girl, I don't think Xiangyang City can be defended. Now that the attack at the South Gate is not as ferocious as the other three, why don't we retreat from there?"

When Wu Yuru heard this, he knew that he had seen the momentum of the Beidi people, and he was afraid, so he wanted to escape from the battle and wanted to abandon the city. He knew that it would be difficult for him to get out of the city with his own strength, so he came to ask Wu Yuru to take his own soldiers and break out of the city with them.

Wu Yuru was angry and drank three good words in a row. Li Fu was secretly happy when she agreed, but her neck was cold, and a bright steel knife was on her shoulder. Seeing this, Li Yi was about to call for help, but was swept away by Wu Yuru's fierce gaze and hurriedly shut up.

Only then did Wu Yuru shout: "The city is in the people! The city is ruined and the people are dying! If Li Taishou leaves, won't he shake the army's heart?

Wu Tiande has no children under his knees, only Wu Yuru's daughter, who is raised as a man, often appears in the army, and is regarded as Wu Tiande's successor, and has accumulated prestige in the army for a long time. Now that Wu Tiande has gone into battle to kill the enemy, the soldiers all listened to Wu Yuru's dispatch, and heard that she wanted to take Li Fu, although they knew that it was the city guard, but they did not hesitate to tie up his father and son.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a knight galloping down from the opposite hill, with twelve feathers on his head, of different colors. I saw him running to the gate of Xiangyang City, muttering back and forth shouting those words. When the Beidi people besieging the city heard this, their spirits were greatly lifted, and they fought bravely, regardless of their lives, and rushed to the head of the city. Wu Yuru couldn't understand the language of the Beidi people, so he asked a general who was familiar with the Beidi language.

The general refused to speak at first, and after several inquiries by Wu Yuru, the general said: "Back to the eldest lady's words, the knight said: The twelve big chiefs have orders, and I have long heard that Wu Tiande has a daughter under his knees, who was born in the moon and is not married, who can take Wu Tiande's head, and then give his daughter to that person as a slave and give him the title of 'Della'. ”

Wu Yuru was furious when he heard this, took an iron bow from the guard, stepped with an arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow feathers whistled away, hitting the throat of the cavalryman who was still roaring, and blood splattered on the spot. At this time, the cavalry was the focus of the scene, he died, the Beidi people were silent in an instant, but the morale of the soldiers defending the city was greatly boosted, and Wu Tiande saw that the time and place were favorable, so he led the troops out of the city to sweep it, and repelled a wave of siege battles of the Beidi people, temporarily relieving the urgent need.

Wu Tiande returned to the high-rise building in the city covered in blood, and saw his daughter standing there, holding a strong bow in her hand, heroic and sassy, not caring about the injuries on her body, and shouting loudly: "Who said that women are inferior to men?

Wu Yuru should have been proud of her father's praise, but when she thought that the Beidi people under the city were still besieging the city, and they only fought for half a day, and the defenders in the city were broken by nearly half, she couldn't be happy. He said: "Father, when will the reinforcements arrive, the garrison of Xiangyang City is empty, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hold out for a day or two." ”

Wu Tiande said: "When you came back yesterday, you said that you found brute force outside, so I sent someone to the nearby military camp to deliver the letter for several days, and it will take some time to know the result." Yuru is a little restless, let's leave it to fate. Now it's time to keep Xiangyang City well. ”

At this time, someone pointed to the southwest corner, sighed, and casually said, "Look! There is a lot of smoke there!"

Wu Tiande looked along and was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that there was really a black smoke rising to the blue sky, looking at the momentum, the fire was not ordinarily big. After thinking for a while, he suddenly reached out to pat the head of the city, laughed loudly, and then said: "I don't know where I came to have a strange soldier all the way, and set fire to the grain and grass of Beidi, now we only need to stay in the city, or it won't be long before the enemy is sleepy and tired, and he will be captured." Summons the three armies! Everyone eat well, drink well! Recuperate, wait for tonight, the enemy still refuses to leave, let's go out of the city again and beat the water dogs!"

The father and daughter were happy, and suddenly saw a knight running out of the forest in the distance, and under the blue sky and white sun, they could see very clearly. The man had a steel knife in one hand and a broadsword in the other, riding a horse all the way, singing all the way, the singing voice was clear, and he could crack the gold stone, even if there were ten thousand people roaring and killing, he could hear it clearly, and only listened to the singing voice:

"Beat the war drums, blow up the spring thunder, roar and kill the heavens; the blood of the man, a glass of wine, do not punish the enemy and the chieftain will not return; ten miles of road, the white bone shop, spur the horse back and forth; the sage scripture, the gentleman's sword, how can the descendants of Yan and Huang be slaves?"

The man sang all the way, and rushed straight to the royal court where the twelve chiefs of Beidi were located. At this time, Mo Chou rode wildly, and saw more than a dozen Beidi people riding high-headed horses, rushing towards him, and he was still muttering in his mouth, and he didn't know what to say. He first attacked the enemy's rear, burned heavy grain and grass, and fought for a long time, and then came to Xiangyang City.

Now that he has awakened the murderous nature in his roots, and he has learned a new set of swordsmanship, he is worried that he has not been addicted to killing, and it happened that he saw someone come to send him to death, and on a whim, he actually learned the tone of Yuan Zhenzi, and shouted in a deep voice: "Ignorant barbarians, not educated, unable to learn the rites of saints, wearing hair and grass, not my race, should be killed!"
