"boom!"

The wooden chariot crashed into the city gate of Nanguan like an angry dragon, making a deafening roar.

At dawn twelve hours later, the enemy suddenly launched their sixteenth attack since the initial attack on the city the day before.

Feng Yeling, who was sleeping extremely tiredly in the corner of the wall, woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the wall, which was intact before going to bed, revealed a caved-in gap. The mountains and plains under the city were filled with the light of torches, and his ears were filled with the sounds of killing and ladders.

There were the sounds of the clashing of the city walls, the sharp sound of soldiers' swords clashing, and the rumble of stones hitting the ground or walls.

"Crash!"

Feng Yeling didn't need to look to know that the sound was the sound of cold water being splashed on the city wall. This was the coldest time of the day, and the splashed water would quickly form a slippery layer on the city wall of Juyongguan.

ice, thus making it more difficult for the Tatar warriors to climb the city wall.

She stood up, swung her left hand suddenly, grabbed a cold arrow that came from nowhere, opened the shadow bow and reflected it towards the bottom of the city, and then moved along the wall towards the front of the barbican city.

The soldiers were running back and forth, fighting desperately against the enemy. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and their thinking seemed to have become slow. They only had the simplest idea left, which was to use any means to block the invading enemy and delay as much time as possible.

Zhang Fu shouted and his voice became hoarse, and Feng Yeling himself was covered in blood from fighting all night long.

There were corpses lying everywhere on the wall, and the bright red blood could not help but flow and solidify on the charred blood stains, and then was instantly frozen into ice crystals by the cold wind, but no one had time to pay attention to it.

There were heavy clouds in the sky, and the gloomy sky made it difficult to tell the time, and it was impossible to tell whether it was still night or dawn.

The fire on the wall was burning high, dyeing the sky and the earth blood red. What we saw in front of us was like a hell on earth.

If I remember correctly, she had been fighting at every step of the city for a whole day and night.

The enemy's troops continued to increase, and they staged feint attacks on other sections of the city wall to disperse the forces of the defenders, making the defenders even more exhausted.

She and Zhang Fu fought a mere 5,000 soldiers against an enemy of 35,000. With a force disadvantage of one against seven, she and Zhang Fu commanded this brutal city defense battle sleeplessly. Until just now, they could no longer support it, so they slept on the battlements.

After a while, he suddenly fell asleep.

When the war drums sounded again, she couldn't even tell where the sound came from.

"boom!"

There was another sound of wood hitting the city wall, and Feng Yeling's feet seemed to shake.

Zhang Fu smiled bitterly and said: "Even if we can withstand this wave, we will still be doomed when their next wave of offensive comes."

Feng Yeling was just about to say something to cheer him up, when he saw Hua Yuxi running up to the top of the city, saying as she ran: "Okay! Okay!"

She had obviously not slept for a long time, her eyes were bloodshot and she looked tired.

Feng Yeling and Zhang Fuzhi said that she had completed preparations for "Half the City of Beacon Smoke", and their spirits were lifted.

Zhang Fu said excitedly: "You mean, we can prepare to retreat and then start releasing poison?"

"That's enough!" Hua Yuxi said firmly, "I made a full twenty portions of the poisonous seeds to ensure that they can't eat them and carry them around."

"Then we are saved." Zhang Fu jumped up and said like a child, "Let's retreat north immediately and lead the enemy into Guancheng."

"Wait a minute." Feng Yeling said cautiously, "At least survive the wave in front of us first, otherwise if we are overtaken by the enemy when we retreat, we will be in trouble."

At this moment, they felt confident, and their confidence increased sharply. The three of them took the lead and fought bloody battles at the top of the city. After about half an hour, Arutai raised their troops and retreated.

"They are going back to have breakfast." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Hua Yuxi's lips, "Now it's our turn to take action."

When Chen was approaching, Arutai was preparing to attack Guancheng again. Suddenly, he saw that all the defenders who had been standing on the top of the city had disappeared.

"The enemy abandoned the pass and ran away!" A surge of ecstasy surged in his heart, and he immediately issued an order to the general, ordering the army to march into the pass.

The city gate was easily knocked open by Samu, and the Tatar warriors looked at the empty streets and lanes in Guancheng, all showing the same joy as their coach.

Tuoba Liangce, who was dressed in Xianbei noble attire, immediately stepped forward and said: "They resisted desperately for two days and two nights, but now they have escaped completely. Be careful of fraud."

He and Master Qingyuan rushed to Juyongguan from Guilichi's Peiping camp early this morning to support the battle. At this time, they saw that the enemy was retreating without a fight, and they were deprived of the opportunity to show off and claim credit. They were very unhappy.

Yepauri shook his head and said: "I don't think so. After being attacked by us for two days, their defense line is already on the verge of collapse. Even if they don't abandon the pass and escape, they can't stop our next attack. If they still want to die, at this time

It's normal to apply oil on the soles of your feet." He and Solo participated in the siege on the first day, and they wanted to exaggerate their contribution in their words.

Arutai saw that Tuoba Liang still wanted to argue, so he waved his hand and said: "What you said makes sense. We will find out what the specific situation is."

He called one of his men, a captain named Bamutu, and ordered him to lead a team of a thousand men into Guancheng to explore the road first, and then report back after confirming that there were no ambushes or traps in the city.

Bamutu loudly accepted the order and led his army into Guancheng.

On the isolated cliff on the west side of Guancheng, Feng Yeling and Hua Yuxi stood side by side. Behind them were twenty specially selected Langya Army elites.

They looked down at the entire Guancheng from a high position, watching Bamutu lead the army into the city to explore the way. Although their hair was messy due to the strong wind on the mountain top, their palms were so nervous that they were sweating.

Twenty Langya Army soldiers, each holding a long bow, lined up behind the two women with solemn expressions, but their eyes fell on various street corners in Guancheng, choosing the best attack position.

The reason why they were selected was because of their extraordinary archery skills. Although it cannot be said that each of them is an expert archer, among the existing teams, they are definitely the best among the best.

Their mission was to shoot from a high position with arrows stained with the "Beacon Smoke Half City" poison after Arutai's army entered Guancheng, spreading the poisonous smoke throughout Guancheng.

Wu Yi was also one of them.

As a member of the Houfu Guards, he also participated in the Jiangpu rescue operation. He was both brave and loyal. He followed Feng Yeling from Qingzhou to Juyongguan. At this time, he was selected to participate in this rescue operation because he was good at archery.

Gao Ya's poisoning operation.

In addition to the long bow in his hand, Wu Yi also carried a large roll of rope. After shooting the poisonous arrows, they would evacuate from the north side of the cliff. Since the north side and the east side were both cliffs, they needed to hang down the rope, and then

Hurry up and rope down the mountain before the enemy comes, and meet up with Lan Qiao, Zhang Fu and others waiting at the bottom of the mountain.

As long as they can go down the mountain smoothly, their poisoning operation on the lonely cliff can be considered a complete success.

Effortlessly, the 50,000 Tatar cavalry died tragically in the city at the snap of a finger.

This is the terrible thing about "half a city in flames".

The biting northwest wind was blowing harder and harder, cutting people's faces like knives. However, neither Feng Yeling nor the soldiers of Langya Army were moved, standing on the top of the cliff like sculptures.

Seeing their appearance, Hua Yuxi deliberately relaxed the atmosphere and said with a chuckle: "Fortunately, I didn't live in Peking before. If such strong winds blow every winter, no matter how delicate your skin is, it will be blown away."

Dry and cracked.”

Feng Yeling fiddled with the Yiying Bow in her hand, glared at her and said angrily: "So there are no vixens in Peiping."

"Oh? Are the vixens talking about me?" Hua Yuxi chuckled and said, "I just thought the lady was complimenting me. After all, being able to charm people to death is a skill."

Although the conversation between the two was not harmonious and contained both guns and sticks, the soldiers couldn't help but feel amused after hearing this, and the tense atmosphere just now was relieved a lot.

More than a quarter of an hour later, when Bamutu's vanguard troops swept across the city, he sent the primary school to fly to Arutai and brought back two pieces of news.

First of all, no ambushes or traps were found in the pass, and there was no hidden danger of fire attacks. In addition, they also found food in many barracks that the enemy had not taken away when they retreated.

The second news is that due to the mix of infantry and cavalry, the enemy troops did not retreat quickly. When they stood on the top of the northern city wall, they could still see the retreating team of the Peking Army. Nearly half of the Peking Army were infantry. If they decided to pursue

, the Tatar cavalry passed through Guancheng and could quickly overtake the enemy.

"Pursue or not, please give the general's order," the colonel finally said.

"Chase, of course we must pursue! The whole army obeyed the order and immediately followed me into Guancheng. After entering the city, they rushed straight to the north gate without stopping, and then went out to pursue the enemy. Let the people of Bosain follow, although they were pursuing and killing.

The army is defeated, but the enemy is cunning, and our two armies cannot easily break away." Arutai showed a cruel smile, "You damn cowardless rats, watch me catch up and kill each one."

The Tatar cavalry were divided into four columns and entered the mountain city, passed through the stone cave under the Dayuntai along the central axis, and exited through the north gate.

As soon as their front group left Beiguan, they heard the sound of a drum. The Huairou Army led by Lan Qiao fought out from the mountains on the left and right. At the same time, Zhang Fu and Langya Army who had retreated also turned back and fought back. The three armies joined together.

Immediately blocked the front of the Tatars who had just rushed out of the pass.

There were originally 2,000 garrison troops in Juyongguan, plus the 3,000 Langya troops brought by Feng Yeling and the 4,000 Huairou battalion from Lanqiao. Although the total strength was not as much as the 50,000 troops brought by Alutai during this trip, due to the suppression of the city gate,

In such a narrow location, the Tatar army that first chased outside the pass only had a few hundred people, and the Tatar warriors who followed were blocked by the former and could only wait inside the city gate, unable to form an effective combat force for a while.

"Hmph, is a mantis using its arms as a chariot?" Arutai muttered to himself viciously, "Now Guancheng is in my hands, let's see who among us can outlast the other."

He turned around and ordered his adjutant: "Inform Bosain so that he does not have to rush to the north gate to fight. The wind is so strong now that he can find a place to rest first and collect the food they left behind."

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour.

As the troops of Lanqiao Zhang Fu and others blocked the North Pass and prevented the Tatar army from leaving the city, the rear troops at the South Pass and the 15,000 men of Bosain Timur still continued to file into the pass. The population in the city suddenly increased.

When viewed from above, it looks like a swarm of ants walking through the streets.

After receiving the general order from Arutai, Bosain Timur ordered his soldiers to garrison various barracks in the city, while frantically looting the supplies left by the Peiping Army, while waiting for the results of the Beiguan battlefield.

The northwest wind blows stronger and stronger.

"Now, although it seems that Young Master and the others are blocking Arutai's way out of Beiguan with their locally superior forces, they cannot cause effective damage to the Tatar army. As long as Arutai is patient enough and drags them down until they are hungry, cold and exhausted.

We can always take advantage of the number of soldiers who take turns to rest and wear them down, so Arutai, who has a city and food, is full of confidence and is not afraid of dragging them down." Hua Yuxi smiled and said, "Fortunately, we have the skill of poisoning, Ah.

Lu Tai will soon know how wrong he was."

Feng Yeling said in a deep voice: "When will we do it?"

Hua Yuxi looked at the outer road of Nanguan: "Wait a minute, there are almost ten thousand people outside Nanguan now, wait for them..."

A strong gust of wind came and completely drowned out the last few words she said.

"The wind is blowing really bad. Why haven't you seen such a ghostly weather before? Frost has formed on Wu Yi's forehead. Seeing that the sky above him is getting darker and darker, he suddenly gets excited, stamps his feet and shouts: "My day,

Could this dark cloud be..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his face.

It was an icy snowflake.
