The city walls quickly became a meat grinder.
We didn’t have time to clean up yesterday’s corpses, and now there are new ones today.
The fact that there is a gap in the city wall does not mean that it cannot be defended, but there are fewer tactics that can be used, and it requires more strength and courage.
No matter how many people the other side has, how many of them can squeeze into the gap at the same time
The weather was getting colder and the snow was getting heavier. As long as they waited until the snow finally came, the Hu people would retreat. They were also flesh and blood, and they had tribes and families. It was impossible for them to keep stirring up trouble here indefinitely.
With this understanding, there will be endless courage.
No matter how exhausted you are, no matter how out of food and ammunition you are out of, there is still hope.
Huangfu Yongxian personally held the gun at the mouth, and the spear shot out straight out, piercing the two Hu warriors through. With a huge force, the corpses smashed backwards, overturning a battle formation.
Cui Yuanyong's sword shone like a sword as he protected Huangfu Yongxian, and he couldn't help but admire him.
I don’t know if I will still have this kind of divine power when I’m old.
As the legitimate son of an aristocratic family, Cui Yuanyong had difficulty empathizing with the frontier soldiers and Huangfu Yongxian's thoughts. In his opinion, even if the Hu people entered the pass, they would most likely need to compromise with the Cui family in order to quickly stabilize the country and rule the country. At that time, as long as the flag was changed, the Qinghe Cui would still be the Qinghe Cui.
Dynasties come and go, but aristocratic families remain forever. Isn't it the same for the Huangfu family? Why do we have to fight like this...
The emperor doesn't care about things? That's great! We have no problem being local emperors.
He came to the border, saying that he was helping with defense, but actually it was more for the experience of fighting. He wanted to be on the human list, and this was a perfect place for training.
But after a few months of fighting, Cui Yuanyong's heart underwent subtle changes.
The friends who were laughing and drinking together and swearing yesterday are now corpses hanging on the city wall; the subordinates who respectfully called him Master Cui and Commander Cui have been replaced one after another in the past few months, and young faces rotate in front of him like a revolving lantern.
There is a kind of numbness that makes life and death become insignificant.
But there is also a kind of blood burning in my heart.
It was as if my blood was poured into this city along with theirs. Every brick and stone here was not just brick and stone, but flesh and blood, the blood of my friends, subordinates, and my own hard work and soul.
That is something that cannot be experienced through the experience of being in the martial arts world, the feeling of dying with the city.
As long as I am here, Guancheng will be here.
Cui Yuanyong finally understood Huangfu Yongxian. It was more painful to let such a person give up than to kill him.
Then don't give up.
My father said that if the situation is not feasible, we should withdraw to Qinghe... I'm sorry, I can't do that.
"Dang!" Not far away, several spears poked Situ Xiao, making a sound of metal clashing.
Situ Xiao grinned, swept his heavy sword, and the head flew off.
Cui Yuanyong was somewhat envious of this invulnerable horizontal training. It was very convenient in this kind of battle formation. Others had to wear armor, which was cumbersome and inconvenient, and they were not as well protected as he was. People like Situ Xiao had much more room to display their abilities here than himself.
However, it can also backfire. It is useful against ordinary soldiers, but once the opponent is a master, it can be easily defeated.
"Brother Situ, be careful!" Cui Yuanyong shot out a sword like lightning and stabbed an attacker in the throat.
Situ Xiao turned around and smiled: "Thank you. I didn't want to join the Knight Camp because I didn't want to see the face of a noble family kid. I didn't expect you to be so good, better than Wang Zhaoling."
Cui Yuanyong said helplessly: "Why are you still talking about this at this time?"
"What I mean by this is that if you withdraw, I won't laugh at you. There is no reason for the legitimate son of Qinghe Cui to die here."
"Why can't the legitimate son of Qinghe Cui die here?" Cui Yuanyong asked curiously, "Does the legitimate heir of Shenhuang Sect want to leave?"
Situ smiled and said, "We are just martial artists in the martial arts world. We should enjoy life today. There are many people who can inherit the Shenhuang Sect, and I am not the only one."
Cui Yuanyong thrust his sword into the throat of the enemy in front of him and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, me too."
Situ Xiao laughed loudly and raised his head to the sky: "Then don't say unlucky words, and we won't die."
Damn it, who said the bad words first? Cui Yuanyong said unhappily, "Why do you think you won't die?"
Situ smiled and said, "It's nothing, just to cheer myself up. Anyway, as long as you and I don't die this time, we will be on the human list. I don't believe that Xue Canghai and his ilk have such experience."
“Fuck.” Cui Yuanyong raised his head and looked at the endless sea of people. He felt that he was really going to die.
A thought suddenly occurred to him: Zhao Changhe had been behind enemy lines for so long, and he had flashed through the Chaos Book before, and then disappeared without a trace, and the intelligence network here had lost track of him. Could he be dead? Oh no, if the Hidden Dragon fell, the Chaos Book should have flashed as well, and if it didn't flash, it meant he wasn't dead.
I don't know what he is fishing for.
He didn't even know which one of them, himself or Zhao Changhe, would make his sister more sad.
"General!" Someone not far away hurriedly reported to Huangfu Yongxian: "There is smoke and dust in the distance to the northwest. It is suspected that the War Lion Tribe is approaching."
Huangfu Yongxian knocked down a Hu man with his spear, his expression changed slightly: "Is he finally here..."
Cui Yuanyong and others who heard it nearby all looked very unhappy.
We still had hope of making it to the snowy day... But with this new force coming, I'm afraid we really can't hold on...
… …
The Golden Tent of the Hu people.
Timur stood behind the formation, looking out at the battle situation on the city wall.
The Xia army was obviously out of ammunition and food. They used to have boiling oil pouring down on them, but now there is no oil left and they can only rely on flesh and blood to hold on.
But they couldn't get in either. A veteran like Huangfu Yongxian had almost no loopholes in his defense, and was harder to crack than a turtle. If they dragged it on for a few more days, the morale of their side would also be dispersed.
Many subordinates and tribesmen did not understand why he was unwilling to take action himself and rush in to chop off Huangfu Yongxian's head.
But he knew it wasn't possible.
It was not the case that Xia Longyuan would appear as others imagined to be a distraction. Temur knew that this was not the case. Xia Longyuan was still in the capital, and he would not teleport.
It’s just that some openings cannot be opened… Today, you on the Tianbang can break into the battle array and kill the main general, but tomorrow Xia Longyuan will dare to roam the grassland and kill anyone he sees, turning the entire grassland into a sea of blood.
Even with Yue Hongling moving around behind them, not many people could catch them. What about Xia Longyuan
At this level, everyone must follow a certain range of tacit understanding.
Timur really admires Maitreya. Xia Longyuan will not have a tacit understanding with Maitreya regarding the civil strife. How dare he... Even the Wang family doesn't dare.
As a result, Xia Longyuan really didn't move, which was strange.
Timur's gaze was more focused on Cui Yuanyong, Situ Xiao and others, with a sigh in his eyes.
The hidden dragon of Middle-earth is like this, its destiny is not over yet.
Although there are actually very few people who deserve praise... after all, there are some.
As long as it's there, the energy will not dissipate.
But unfortunately, they are outnumbered after all... The breach in the city wall is a typical sign that they can no longer hold on.
Timur observed for a long time, raised his hand slightly and said: "Let the Vulture Tribe take over."
At this time, someone came to report: "The War Lion Tribe is approaching from the northwest, saying they are coming to support us."
Timur was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly: "The messenger I sent to the War Lion Tribe hasn't come back yet, and they came here on their own? How many soldiers and horses are there?"
The soldier said, "We estimate there to be 70,000 to 80,000 people."
With a population of 70,000 or 80,000, they are far behind the Golden Horde in terms of absolute strength, but at this moment, they are an extremely fatal variable.
Not to mention 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, even 10,000 or 20,000 yuan can give people a headache, and 70,000 or 80,000 yuan can be fatal.
"Batu had to pass through Huangshaji on his way here. Why didn't Ubalu send a message? Batu's arrival was so unexpected!"
No one could answer the Khan's question.
Someone said carefully: "If Batu bypassed Huangshaji, General Wubalu would definitely find something wrong. We should lead the troops to chase him..."
"Let the Vulture Tribe turn to the flank and line up in the northwest." Timur stood up suddenly: "No matter what Batu is here for, and no matter whether Ubalu comes to attack from both sides, we must not be careless. Mr. Bo..."
He turned to a shaman in the tent and said solemnly, "We are at war with the southern barbarians. If there is a civil strife, it will no longer be a regular tribal dispute. Will the temple intervene?"
The shaman stood up and saluted: "Great Khan, please be patient. How could Batu have the guts to cause trouble? He is probably here to join the war. Let me go and meet Batu to confirm his purpose."
