The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.
But now, let alone letters to the family, even the news sent out by people has fallen into the sea, and there is no news.
The dilapidated towers, the withered surroundings, and the remaining wisps of gunpowder smoke curled straight into the sky.
On top of the city tower, Azhu was dressed in men's clothing, with a dark face, as if he had crawled out of a coal pit.
She leaned against the flagpole of Lin Xi Kingdom with her back, looking at the sunset in the distance, with a look of exhaustion that could not be concealed.
"Smelly scholar, do you think that His Highness Prince Ding and the others can get here?"
Next to him, Murong was commanding a small number of soldiers to repair the city tower and carry stones, waiting for the final general attack of Mugel's tribe in the near future.
After hearing this, he turned his head to look at Azhu, stretched out his hand to rub her dirty little face, and said with a smile: "I'll definitely make it in time. He has never let me down."
Azuna also raised her lips and smiled, but the smile was still a bit forced.
How could a small country like theirs compete with a large tribe like the Mugher tribe? If it weren't for Murong Xuan leading them to resist desperately, Lin Xi's country might have been destroyed overnight.
However, although they successfully repelled the attacks of Mughol's tribe these few times, they also suffered heavy casualties. The city wall became a ruin, the warriors were killed and injured, and there were old, young, women and children on top. The bows, arrows and fireballs they made were long gone. Even the
The machete in each person's hand is also full of gaps.
The reality is so cruel. There is no comparison between the dwarfs and the giants. They don't even have confidence in themselves whether they can withstand another attack from the enemy.
And in life, he always loves whatever he is afraid of.
"Holy Maiden, Mr. Murong, the Mugel Tribe has launched a general attack! And this time, King Iya of the Mugel Tribe is personally commanding it!" The scout sent out rushed back in a hurry and reported hurriedly.
Murong Xuan and Azhuna looked at each other and quickly asked the scout: "What's the situation of the troops?"
The scout replied: "King Eya personally brought 200,000 soldiers and horses. However, he did not set up camp. Instead, he directly sent his troops towards our country, Lin Xi."
"Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and no camp has been set up..." Murong Xuan frowned solemnly, looking up into the distance.
In the woods three miles away, a group of birds seemed to be frightened, and they all flew up and down.
The deafening horse hooves and the flying dust are like tidal waves, pushing up layer by layer from a distance, and then fall into people's ears and eyes.
What is supposed to come, will eventually come.
Moreover, this time King Iya brought 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Linxi Kingdom, which had a population of several hundred thousand. He was determined to win. Otherwise, why would he not even waste the time to set up camp?
But even though everyone knows that this is a mantis trying to beat the chariot, no one wants to give up.
No matter what the result is, you have to give it a try before you know the final answer, right?
Arjuna took off the horn hanging from his waist, stood on the tower and blew into the sky: "Assemble! Archers are ready! Throwing machines are ready! Fireballs are ready! Stones are ready..."
Murong Xuan was sitting on the city tower, with no other obstacles in front of him except the city wall that was half a man's height.
But it was this position that was most convenient for observing the battlefield situation. He sat here in every battle and directed everyone's actions.
Even though countless arrows flew past him, and even though he almost became the victim of enemies who came up to the tower many times, he never wanted to leave.
Azuna originally thought about letting him go. After all, it was none of his business. He still had an endless future with King Ding of Daye. It would be uneconomical to die here.
After hearing this, Murong Xuan opened the folding fan, shook it and said: "In a person's life, death may be heavier than Mount Tai, and some may be lighter than a feather. You just think of it as a pedantic scholar. You give up halfway and live for the rest of your life. This is not just a matter of course."
Style."
"Not only is he a stinky scholar, but he is also a stubborn stinky scholar." Azuna was still speaking in a rude manner, but her tone was rare and soft.
When Murong Xuan heard this, he wanted to laugh.
It's a pity that no one can laugh now. After playing the horn, Azuna came to his side and said in a heavy voice: "Everyone is here."
It was said that they were all here, but looking around, there were mostly women like Azuna wearing men's clothes. Even if there were men, they were either disabled, old men, or children. It took a long time to move a stone to the throwing machine.
inside.
Such a lineup...
Azuna looked at it and couldn't help but sigh.
Not far away, dust was flying all over the sky and horses' hooves were noisy. Standing on the tower, you could already vaguely see the outlines of human figures on the opposite side, which were unspeakably menacing.
Azuna couldn't help but close her eyes in despair.
Lin Xi's country is destined to perish.
"Holy Girl, another team is coming from the east!" At this moment, another scout came quickly to report.
Azuna opened her eyes immediately and saw Murong Xuan had stood up and walked towards the city wall.
Not far away, horses' hooves were flying, and dust flying all over the sky obscured the entire team.
And right in the middle of the team, I saw a person rushing out on horseback, with his black hair dancing wildly and his ink robe flying. Such a familiar posture and silhouette, this place belongs to only one person!
"Master!" Murong Xuan immediately clenched his hands into fists, his eyes filled with warm mist, "I told you, he has never let me down!"
Seeing that it was Mo Jingxiao's rescue team, Azuna was so happy that she danced with joy and spoke incoherently: "It's here...it's finally here...everyone, the people who saved us from Daye are here! Here they are!"
Everyone who had been prepared to die, when they heard that hope appeared, everyone's eyes suddenly shone with light, and their hands began to feel filled with power.
"The savior is here!"
"We can be saved! Lin Xi can be saved!"
"We don't have to die!"
"Great, great..."
Everyone couldn't help cheering, but the troops of Mugher's tribe didn't stop at all at this time and had gone straight to the front.
One attacked from the west, and the other came from the east. The two teams ran wildly, and finally stopped in a small open space in front of Lin Xi Country, with a short distance in between.
Below, Mo Jingxiao tightened the reins, and the horse reared up its front hooves, snorted, and neighed loudly, causing a commotion in the horse team of Mugel's troops not far away.
He squinted his eyes and looked forward. On that face, the deep and sharp phoenix eyes were cold and unparalleled, and the light in them was like a cold blade unsheathed.
The violent aura on his body was unstoppable, and the arrogant and rampant domineering spirit was unstoppable. Thousands of killing blows were all concentrated in his eyebrows at the start of his attack.
