As night falls, Jiuquan City is still brightly lit, and the soldiers at the top of the city are still patrolling the city conscientiously. Song Hao has just been persuaded by generals and staff at all levels to go back and rest for a while. It is basically impossible to attack the city at night.
Although there is light on the top of the city, which seems to be a target, and the darkness below the city seems suitable for hiding, but after all, the attack on the city is from bottom to top, and many difficulties are conceivable, so the security on the top of the city is still very tight.
, but I feel a lot more relaxed mentally.
Just as one group of soldiers was about to go down to the city and another group came up to change defenses, suddenly the war drums were blaring under the city, the horns of horns were blasting through the sky, the people below the city were crowded, the military formation was like a mountain, and the shouts were shaking the sky.
Enemy attack! Obviously an enemy attack! The captain patrolling the city shouted urgently. The soldiers who had just left the city hurriedly ran to the top of the city, picked up their weapons, and took up their positions. At the same time, the alarm bell on the top of the city rang quickly, and a large number of soldiers
Many of them had not yet put on their clothes, but they had already rushed out of the alley, picked up their belongings in a hurry, and went to the top of the city.
However, just when the defenders unsheathed their sabers, cocked their arrows, and tensed up their spirits, preparing for a big battle, the flags and drums below fell silent and there was no sound.
Xie Batian, the newly promoted city patrol captain, couldn't believe his eyes! Just now, the horses were neighing and the crowd was bustling, but what about now? Where are the people now?
"Gather the torches and light up the city." Xie Batian said loudly.
But unexpectedly, when the soldiers gathered the torches according to the order, countless bows and arrows suddenly fired at the torch pile. Suddenly more than ten soldiers fell to the ground screaming, and the blood stained the originally clean stone road red.
"Little Nuozi! Little Nuozi!" Among the dead was Xie Batian's younger brother. He was only fifteen years old and was dragged to the top of the city by Xie Batian. He originally wanted him to experience blood and fire.
Test, only in this way can we grow quickly. Xiao Nuozi is extremely talented and has extraordinary martial arts. He has wanted to be a general since he was a child. But this time, three arrows shot into his chest. Xiao Nuozi was careless for a moment, and his young life was ruined.
With such a fall, the dream of being a general will become a dream forever.
"Dog thieves! I'm going to kill you all!" Xie Batian put down his brother's body, his eyes were cracked, and he was about to go down the city wall with a knife.
"Xie Batian, stop!" At this time, Song Hao, who was wearing a small coat, was rushing to the top of the city. When he saw Xie Batian leading dozens of soldiers about to go downstairs, he couldn't help shouting.
"Sir! Xiao Nuozi is dead! He is dead! He is only 15 years old, sir!" Xie Batian was a strong man. When he talked about his younger brother, he still shed tears after all.
Xiao Nuozi was always a well-behaved person, and Song Hao also liked him very much. Now that he had lost his life without killing an enemy, Song Hao was very sad.
He stepped forward, gently closed Xiao Nuozi's eyes that were still glaring with anger with his hands, sighed, and said: "Come here, carry all the brothers who died in the battle down so that they can be buried alive. I will personally do it."
Offer sacrifices to them, wait until the enemy army is defeated, and then give them a lavish burial!"
"Yes!" A group of Song Hao's soldiers carried the corpse down. Song Hao silently walked to Xie Batian, who was still choking, and said in a deep voice: "Ba Tian, I know that Xiao Nuozi has a deep relationship with you.
, after your parents passed away, you and Xiao Nuozi have always been dependent on each other, but...but fighting at night is not good for me. Once the city gate is opened, who knows what will happen?"
After hearing this, Xie Batian looked even sadder, but he still didn't say anything, but his hand holding the knife was still trembling.
"Oh, Batian, you know that I also watched Xiao Nuozi grow up? Don't I feel bad for you? But this is obviously a trap. I can't risk the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jiuquan City by jumping into it!
Ba Tian, Ren, it’s especially difficult!”
Seeing Song Hao's emotional words, his eyes were red. Xie Batian looked at it, and his tears flowed down like broken beads. For a long time, he silently dropped the knife, chased after the group of people carrying his brother's body, and pulled his brother away from them.
Grab it from there and walk towards the city step by step.
He only said one sentence: "Xiao Nuozi, let's go home."
He was not walking slowly, but in everyone's eyes, every step he took was so heavy, and his somewhat desolate back made everyone full of hatred for Lu Guang's army!
We are living a good life. We have not provoked you. We have provided you with food, heavy equipment, weapons and clothing. It’s fine if you don’t thank us. You have returned to attack us. For your ambition and for your leader, you have killed our relatives. We want
Let your debts be paid with blood!
Just as the crowd at the top of the city was getting excited, Duan Ye's soldiers had happily returned to their tents. It turned out that he had only brought 500 cavalry, 100 of whom had brought crossbows with them. They would shoot arrows wherever there was fire.
The first burst of screams showed that something had been achieved. As for Qingqi, he only asked for 100 people from Lu Zuan, and the remaining 400 people were completely selected from the Jiuquan Army. Duan Ye meant that real soldiers can only be found on the battlefield.
Only by training can you train these 400 people first, and then use these people as the foundation to quickly drive others. Only in this way can the Jiuquan Army be formed into an army as quickly as possible!
At this time, everyone on the battlefield has his own master. Of course Duan Ye will not think about the life of Xiao Nuozi and the pain of Xie Batian and others. Life is so fragile in the face of war. All Duan Ye has to do is to protect himself and the others.
life!
As for the tent, it is actually a small simple tent that can be set up quickly or put away quickly. There are soldiers standing guard outside, some people stick to the ground to listen at any time, and others rest. In fact, this is just to take precautions. Duan Ye is sure that Song Hao
At this time, I didn't dare to leave the city, so I had the audacity to take people for a walk under the city wall of Jiuquan City, and then quickly rode a horse to get out of the way, unscathed all the way down.
At this time, Shi Shiye, Hu Kai, and Duan Ping were sitting on the ground. When Hu Kai came today, he saw how the battle was originally fought. Just by messing around below, the majestic and solid Jiuquan City was disturbed, but he was still fine.
, for Hu Kai, who has been a coward for so many years, this is his first time!
"General, what we did here today is really exciting! Although 400 people from our Jiuquan Army came this time, General, you should give us more work. That Qingqi is the person next to Jiexia,
We always feel uncomfortable asking them to keep watch for us."
Duan Ye secretly praised Hu Kai for knowing how to cause trouble, but he still wanted to be just in case. If Song Hao really rushed out desperately, even though all 500 of his men were cavalry, there was no telling how many of them would be able to escape.
At this moment, the hourglass on the ground showed that the previously scheduled time had arrived! Duan Ye immediately shouted: "Brothers! It's time! The drums and drums are blaring!"
