The battlefield on the opposite side was still calm, with not even a shadow of a ghost.
"My eldest niece, did you see it wrong?"
As Jial was speaking, there was a sudden whoosh, and a sharp arrow came through the air and shot towards Jial's face.
Jal yelled: "No!"
Jal was half-lying on the city wall and looking out. The arrow came extremely fast, but it was too late to dodge. He knew that it would not be easy to dodge the arrow, so he made up his mind to avoid the vital point, even if
Suffering some slight injuries is better than being killed by an arrow. If he was really shot to death by an arrow, it would be too embarrassing. Those brats don't know how to laugh at him.
Just when Jal was about to dodge to the side, he suddenly felt his body lighten up, and then his feet left the ground and was pulled to the side by a huge force. His back was pressed against the wall, and he managed to dodge easily.
Passed that arrow.
Jial's pupils were shaking. He couldn't believe his eyes. The person who pulled him away from the city wall and saved his life was actually Li Man'er.
How old she was, when she was weighed on a scale, she was not as heavy as a bag of grain, yet she could easily carry her away with one hand. This was simply unbelievable and eye-opening.
"General Jia, don't be stunned, the barbarians are coming."
Only then did Jarl react and quickly leaned out to look outside.
It was pitch dark outside, and the torch on the city wall was not far away, so nothing could be seen.
"The other party fired a cold arrow. This is not the same as in previous years." The person who spoke was Tong Xiao, Jiaer's personal guard. There were three brothers in their family, the eldest Tong Wu, the second eldest Tong Mu, and the third eldest Tong Xiao.
Work as a servant in the camp.
Jal thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be that simple this time. Hurry up and cheer up everyone, I'm afraid we've been busy lately."
"Why did the general say this?" Tong Xiao said: "I went to inquire about it. It is said that barbarians invade every year, harassing and invading continuously. Why does the general feel that this invasion is not simple?"
Before Jial could reply, Li Maner asked: "This little general, have you seen the barbarians invade with your own eyes in the past years?"
"No." Tong Xiao looked at Li Man'er with some arrogance, "I have been following General Jia, and this is the first time I came to Mobei this year. However, I have asked about the news about the barbarians knocking on the pass before. They have not had any big attacks in many years.
Movement, especially in this season, is the most difficult time for marching and fighting. If the barbarians want to fight, they have to march hundreds of miles. The weather is so cold that even if the people can bear it, the horses cannot."
"It hit you by surprise." This time, even Jiaer agreed with Li Nian's previous statement. The arrow just now was definitely not something that ordinary people could shoot. Even if a barbarian is good at riding and shooting, he can't pierce a Yang Yang with a hundred steps.
No easy task.
The person who came for the sneak attack must have very good kung fu, and it doesn't look like a small fight.
Li Man'er saw that Jial was paying more attention to it, and immediately nodded and said: "There may be riots and invasions tonight, but you must keep your spirits up. Maybe at some point, the barbarians will make a big move."
Li Nian was a little depressed, "I clearly set up an ambush at the Gorge Beach, but it didn't work? Besides, I told the deputy general before that I would place a small team there. Once traces of the barbarians are found, they will use the signal bomb as a signal. How can I make a cold move?"
They all came here, but there’s no movement at all?”
Jal didn't know what he was thinking of, his face turned extremely dark.
"Third uncle, don't worry about this. The rocky beach is originally dispensable. We didn't expect the arrangement of the small rocky beach to stop the barbarians..."
Chirp~
Before Li Man'er finished speaking, a light suddenly rose in the distance. The sharp sound and sudden light made everyone on the city wall feel anxious.
"The warning from Xia Shi Tan is coming."
Naturally, the people in the city also saw the warning from Xia Shitan, and at this moment, everyone started to move. The most important thing was to guard the city gate, and at the same time, send several small teams to hide in the dark to facilitate sneak attacks or
To the rescue of Xincheng.
Luo Sheng sat firmly in the government office. Although the place was decorated very decently for him, with maps hanging on the walls and a sand table in front of the table, he didn't understand these things.
He is just a second-generation ancestor, a young master, relying on his concubine and sister to be favored, cheating and cheating everywhere, how can he fight? He is here to gain glory, not to take over, so after the novelty of being promoted to the position of commander is gone, he is replaced by irritability and
A vague uneasiness.
He did not know how to dispatch troops or generals, let alone command operations. All matters were discussed between his counselors and the generals of each battalion.
At this moment, someone told him that a warning signal had been sent over Xiashitan, and the barbarian army was afraid that it would arrive soon.
"What should I do?" Luo Sheng was so angry that he smashed a wine bottle, "Li Shu was not sick sooner or later, but he got sick at this time. If you don't have the ability, don't accept this job. Now
Let me roast it on the fire!"
The counselor below carefully reminded: "Master Hou was poisoned twice and had a stroke before. I'm afraid his health will not be well."
"Do you still need to tell me?"
The counselor glanced at Luo Sheng before saying, "The Marquis' younger brother is also a very good general under General Bai. He has also been suppressing bandits in recent years and has made great achievements. Why don't the general call Li Nian over?
Ask him?"
"You mean..." Luo Sheng showed a thoughtful expression, "Let him give me advice."
"Exactly." The counselor only said: "He only works behind the scenes, doing the work of a military advisor. If the battle is won, the credit will naturally only belong to the general. But on the contrary, if the battle is defeated and the Holy Spirit blames him, naturally
It's all the fault of the Li brothers and has nothing to do with the general."
Luo Sheng smiled and immediately waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and invite General Li Nian over and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."
The counselor quickly agreed and asked Xiao Wei beside him to find Li Nian.
Li Nian was on the city wall exchanging ideas with Jial on defending the city.
"If you have time, you can let people water the wall. In this kind of weather, it won't take long for it to freeze. If the barbarians really come, it will be a lot more difficult to set up a ladder."
"We also prepared Wuyou."
Li Nian said: "This thing can hurt the enemy as well as yourself, so it cannot be used indiscriminately. It is best to wait until the barbarians have set up the ladder, then pour it down and burn the man and the ladder together."
Jal nodded, "The trebuchet has been set up, and I don't know if the stones prepared are enough."
Li Man'er said from the side: "General, can you put some quicklime or sand in a hemp bag? You don't need to tie the bag tightly and throw it out with a trebuchet. I'm sure to get a big piece of it."
"This is a good idea." Jiaer was very pleased. If everyone can think of one person's shortcomings and think of contributing to the defense of the city like the Li family, then there is no need to worry about Mobei City being unable to defend it.
