Beasts still know fear.
However, the savages outside seemed to really not know what fear was.
During today's siege, Fubao sneaked up and took a look a few times, and found that these savages showed a complete disregard for death and madness.
I regard death as home!
How ridiculous is it that that kind of fearless willingness to die can actually appear in a group of intruders
Invading other people's homes, yet acting so righteously and awe-inspiring, simply overturned Fu Bao's perception.
"Daughter, take off the mask!"
Mr. Xu sighed, "These savages are really not afraid of death. Your father and I have been fighting on the front line. It feels like the moment they are killed, it doesn't feel like they are going to die, but like they are on a pilgrimage, yes, It’s a pilgrimage!”
"I understand!"
Mr. Xu suddenly jumped out, "There's something wrong with these savages!"
"Death, for them, is not the end, but another beginning, a new life they dream of!"
"Damn it, there should be a shadow of religion behind these people!"
"I think I know where these savages come from!"
Mr. Xu took a deep breath, "When I was in the Xu Mansion, I once looked at the Xu Mansion's collection of books. There was such a record in a notebook left by the Taiping King Xu Zhengqi."
"There are savages in the polar regions. Their clan name is Frost Spirit. They believe in the god of ice and snow. Their clan is not afraid of the severe cold of ice and snow. They are wild and violent, murderous and cannibalistic!"
"Hot, the enemy of the Frost Spirit!"
"The savages outside the city now should be said to be people from the Frost Spirit Clan!"
Mr. Xu's expression was solemn as never before. In this cold mid-winter season, it was the season when the Frost Spirit Tribe's people were at their strongest.
To deal with them, you have to wait for the weather to get hotter.
But this year's winter came very early, and it will probably take a long time for the weather to get warmer.
In other words, there was no possibility of trickery in their battle with the Frost Spirit tribe. They could only fight with real swords and guns in this cold winter.
"Dad, how can there be anyone in this world who is really not afraid of the cold?"
This unscientific!
Fubao felt that his three views had been subverted.
"Don't ask me, I don't understand either!"
Mr. Xu rarely rolled his eyes at his precious daughter, "Besides, you also saw what those people were wearing. On such a cold day, your father and I both had to wear thick cotton clothes, but they were just shirtless and naked. Keep your feet on and you won’t be affected by the cold at all.”
Fu Bao lowered her head in annoyance. She had seen the Frost Spirit Man with her own eyes.
Dressed like that, he can move freely without even trembling.
Such a person must really not be afraid of the cold.
After a conversation, other than confirming that the savages were the Frost Spirit tribesmen living in the cold far north and believing in the God of Ice and Snow, nothing else was known.
The mysterious and unknown enemy, the fighting spirit that is not afraid of death, Mr. Xu thinks this is too cheating.
But he also understood that he could not escape.
Mr. Xu is even a little lucky that he rose up early in last year's Huangfengkou War. Otherwise, relying on the people of the imperial court to resist these Frost Spirit tribesmen, the Tang Dynasty would have been in ruins long ago.
And even if their family is very strong, how can they compete with the general trend
Mr. Xu couldn't help but think of the Northern Barbarian High Priest, the woman who claimed to be his mother in another life and who was exactly like his mother.
At this moment, Mr. Xu's tears fell.
He regretted it!
He is now 100% sure that it is his mother!
If it hadn't been for the Northern Barbarians' invasion of the south last year, he would still be just an old farmer in Lingshui Village. How would he be able to command thousands of troops today
However, his mother did not reveal any of the inside story to him, and he did not recognize his mother.
"Dad, why are you crying?"
Fu Bao was struggling when he suddenly saw his own father crying, and he immediately panicked. What was his father thinking
"Dad just thought of your grandmother!"
Mr. Xu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sniffed, "Bao, tell me, will dad ever see your grandmother again?"
"I should, I can!"
Fu Bao didn't know whether his father would be able to see his grandmother again, but he still had to say what needed to be said.
At least, give dad a hope so that he won't be too desperate.
"Well, Dad thinks it can be done too!"
Mr. Xu suddenly became energetic.
Why did it change so quickly
Of course it was because of what his daughter said.
Fubao didn't know that his words of pure comfort to his father would make Mr. Xu so excited. It's not that Mr. Xu is so blindly obedient to his daughter, but that this girl's magic is really beyond words.
Therefore, since the daughter said that he can see his mother again, then he will definitely see her.
Fubao just doesn't know what his biological father is thinking. If he knew, he would definitely be more cautious about his words and actions.
Because her second brother has become her loyal "believer", she doesn't want her father to become like this. This is called feudal superstition, and it's unacceptable.
…
After chatting with Fu Bao, life has to go on.
To be precise, you have to persist in the battle with the Frost Spirit tribe.
This is a battle with no retreat. Either the Frost Spirit Tribe retreats, or everyone in Dragon City and Pingman City dies.
However, as time goes by, whether it is Dragon City or Pingman City, the materials in the city begin to be consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Master Marquis, there are not many weapons left in the city!"
Finally, the quartermaster appeared in front of Mr. Xu and brought the most unfortunate news to Mr. Xu at the moment.
There was plenty of food and grass, but the ordnance used to defend the city was depleted very quickly.
Arrows, crossbow bolts, including rolling logs and stones, are already in short supply.
"How long can I hold on?"
"If we continue at the consumption rate these days, it will take at most five days, maybe less than five days!"
Without arrows and crossbow bolts, the battle with the Frost Spirits would directly turn into hand-to-hand combat.
And this means that the number of casualties every day will increase exponentially.
"This can't go on like this!"
Mr. Xu understood that if they continued to defend like this, they would eventually lose, and it would be a disastrous defeat.
attack!
Must attack!
However, they have not been able to find out the military strength of the Frost Spirit Clan until now.
So far, the Frost Spirit Tribe has only sent out wildling soldiers, giant wolf cavalry, and giant bears, but they have not appeared.
Moreover, Mr. Xu didn't know if the Frost Spirit Clan had no other trump card.
"Tuoba Aofeng!"
"My subordinate is here!"
Hearing Mr. Xu's greeting, Tuoba Aofeng responded decisively.
During the more than half a month of guarding the city, Tuoba Aofeng and the Northern Barbarians who entered Dragon City had completely regarded them as members of Dragon City and the Tang Dynasty.
"Tomorrow, when the savages attack the city, I need you to lead your people to defend it!"
"I'm going to lead a team to raid the savage camp!" (End of this chapter)
