Feng Yeling and Hua Yuxi stood in front of the small window on the second floor of Xiaoyuntai's gatehouse, watching from a high position as the enemy mobilized their troops and generals to complete the encirclement.

At first they thought they still had a glimmer of hope, but when the rope, the only escape route, was cut off by Tuoba Liang, they knew their chance was gone and they only had the chance to fight until their last breath.

Bamutu was furious. He rode a tall horse and stood at the foot of the small cloud platform. His team of thousands of people, with three layers inside and three outside, were like buckets, surrounding the palm-sized small cloud platform.

.

The enemy not only has a thousand fierce Tatar soldiers, but also four masters outside the Great Wall such as Zoluo Tuoba Liang. Such strength is only used to deal with the two Fenghua girls and the twenty Langya Army soldiers they brought with them.

.

The disparity in strength is fifty to one. Even if the enemy stretches out his neck to be slaughtered by them, they can still cut them until they are exhausted and their hands are sore.

If they want to break out, the only way out is to go back to Guancheng through the stone steps at the left and right ends, but they are all blocked by the enemy. Behind them is a high cliff standing thousands of feet tall, and there is no place outside the gate tower of She Xiaoyuntai that they can extend their way.

Time to kill or be killed.

Bamutu's general flag fluttered in the north wind, making a hunting sound. Bamutu, Suo Luo Tuoba Liang and others gathered together and pointed and spoke to the two Fenghua girls on the small cloud platform. Needless to say,

Zhi Zai is debating strategies to kill or capture them alive as quickly as possible.

The enemy's soldiers were divided into squads of five. Two squads formed a squadron, and ten squadrons formed a hundred-man brigade. The ten centurions gathered in their teams and were on standby, ready to attack Xiaoyun in a small area at any time.

Taiwan launches an attack.

The quiet afternoon under the wind and snow is like the eve of a cruel decisive battle. Just looking at the enemy's military appearance as prosperous as the iron forest in the snow is enough to make people feel frightened.

Hua Yuxi ignited an unprecedentedly strong fighting spirit, and a bright light flashed in her eyes. She tugged on Feng Yeling's sleeves and said in a deep voice: "We can't escape by running. Let's try to get a few more enemies to be buried with us before we die.

"

Feng Yeling nodded in agreement: "This gatehouse is very strong. We can kill for a while first, and then hold on to the door. No matter how many people there are, they will have to squeeze over little by little to kill us."

"As long as we delay it long enough, they will never be able to escape the smoke that spreads all over the city. I just don't know if we are lucky enough to survive until that moment." Hua Yuxi stared at Feng Yeling and said, "Tell me, do you still hate me now?

I hate that I used any means to deal with you, or..."

She bit her lip and said it anyway: "Or maybe you hate me for seducing your man."

Feng Yeling smiled bitterly and said: "How can I have the leisure to think about these nonsense now? We can't get out either. Instead of spending my mind on being in trouble with you, I might as well do my best to weaken the Tatars as much as I can.

Military strength, wouldn’t that be more cost-effective?”

Hua Yuxi said quietly: "Apart from the young master, is there anyone you are particularly missing in your heart right now?"

Feng Yeling was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "You may not believe it, but since I arrived in Peiping, I have been thinking about Sister Jingshu in recent days. If I die here today, will she be sad for me?

Or are you secretly proud? Because one of the strongest competitors is missing."

She paused at this point and said, "Do you know her?"

Hua Yuxi shook her head.

"For so many years, I have only thought about killing people, filled with hatred and anger." Perhaps because she did not dare to face Feng Yeling's gaze, she half-closed her eyes and said, "But after listening to what you just said, I suddenly asked myself, I

In this life, have I been too obsessed with the past and wanted to become stronger, thus missing out on other beautiful scenery in life? I abandoned love, abandoned friendship, and abandoned all the people or ideals that I could abandon. Am I the strong one after all?

Or the weak?"

Feng Yeling said with a half-smile: "Listening to your tone, if we have a chance to survive, you will probably change your past and get back what you lost, right?"

Hua Yuxi sighed and said: "It's too late. I don't know how to enjoy myself in time. I will regret it when my heart breaks."

When she saw Feng Yeling tilting her pretty face up slightly, letting the snowflakes falling from the sky fall on it, she couldn't help but said, "If possible, how would you like this story to end?"

Feng Yeling didn't answer and asked instead: "Pain or happiness, if it were you, how would you choose?"

She didn't wait for Hua Yuxi to ask again, and as if waking up from a dream, she cast her gaze in the direction of Xiamutu, Solo, Tuoba Liang and others on Xiaoyuntai, and said: "They are here!"

The sound of uniform footsteps rang loudly, and a team of hundreds of people rushed out from the north and south, approaching the top of the platform along the stone steps on both sides of the small cloud platform. They walked through the first set of stone steps and stepped onto the first and second set of stone steps.

On the first level of the small platform in between, the formation was not disordered at all, and they stepped onto the second section of stone steps.

Feng Yeling got into the gate tower and said to the remaining nineteen Langya warriors except Wu Yi: "The enemy uses wheel tactics. Remember to put defense first. Don't spend too much energy on these pawns. Leave it to wait for Suoluo and the others.

Come."

While Hua Yuxi fed Wu Yi pills and treated him with acupuncture to remove the poison, she asked the other soldiers: "Tell me your names. We will live and die together on this trip. If there is any

If you have a chance to get out alive, I will marry each of you a beautiful woman to take home."

Feng Yeling echoed: "Everyone Hua is as good as his word. Besides, we are not without a way to survive. It's past noon now. As long as we can wait until sunset, we might be able to break out of the siege in the dark."

Then she had a determined look in her eyes and said: "Twenty versus one thousand, even if I end up being hated, as long as I can wait until dark, there's no regrets!"

With a halberd in her right hand and a shadow bow in her left hand, she stood in front of the gate tower with the aura of one man standing in front of the gate, looking down at the enemy soldiers coming from left and right.

Tuoba Liang was obviously the one who knew the situation in the Central Plains best among the people. He whispered a few words to Bamutu. The latter laughed and shouted in very unskilled Chinese: "I heard that you are the most beautiful woman in the Central Plains? What if?

If you are willing to put down your weapons and have a drink with our brothers, I can let your people leave safely."

As soon as he said this, Tuoba Liang immediately translated it again in Mongolian, and the Tatar army immediately burst into laughter.

"What's so funny?" Feng Yeling raised his halberd, pointed at Bamutu and shouted: "If you have the guts, come and fight me alone, Feng Yeling, and let your men see what you are doing.

What a coward he is if he doesn't bully the minority."

Bamutu shouted and cursed at the same time, and the crowd was furious.

Tuoba Liang said in a weird Mongolian dialect: "You can fight alone if you want, but this is not the place. How about coming to my tent at night?"

The Tatar army burst into laughter again, and at the same time burst out all kinds of vulgar remarks, which of course were inseparable from the dirty things between men and women.

Bamutu made a gesture to stop the scolding battle between the two sides, and said: "Young girl is indeed a strong person who is not afraid of death. I like you very much. If you are willing to abandon your weapons and surrender, kneel down in front of my horse and swear your eternal allegiance, I will promise you that."

You can live the rest of your life with dignity."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Feng Yeling sneered, "From the moment I surrender to a stupid pig like you, I will never be decent. Feel free to come over and let me see if your people are as cowardly as you are.

"

Bamutu said angrily: "You dare to talk so shamelessly even when you are about to die. You'd better not be captured alive by me, otherwise I will teach you that life is worse than death. Take action!"

The horn sounded, the drums sounded, and the hundred-man team on the stone steps on the south side took the lead in wielding their swords and attacked the platform where Feng Yeling stood, with a terrifying momentum.

Feng Yeling shouted wildly, turned over and jumped up to the eaves of the gatehouse. He used the fastest method to string the arrow and let go. Every time he drew the bow, four arrows were fired in unison. The Tatar warrior in the front row was hit by an arrow and rolled down the stone steps. He was so tired.

Those who followed also fell one after another, unable to maintain the formation and vigor of the charge, and became chaotic.

At this time, the hundred people on the stone steps on the north side also came up. Feng Yeling reached out to touch the quiver, but it was empty. It turned out that she fired arrows very fast, and in the blink of an eye, she had shot all forty arrows in the quiver.

clean.

"Here comes the arrow." Hua Yuxi threw a barrel of arrows from the gatehouse window as if she had no idea. Feng Yeling quickly grabbed it and fired another round of arrows, knocking the enemies on the north road to the ground.

There were still some unaffected enemy soldiers who bypassed their comrades who had fallen to the ground after being hit by arrows, and tried to rush forward again, but Feng Yeling still used the shadow bow to greet the attendants one by one meticulously. Although "one woman is in charge", because

Due to its commanding position and the advantage of the range of bows and arrows, it blocked the enemy troops from the north and south under the second platform between the second and third sections of stone steps.

The horn sounded again. Feng Yeling looked up and saw "beacon smoke" rising from two new blocks in the distance. She knew that the spread of poisonous smoke was unstoppable. She also understood that as time went by, people who were becoming desperate

The enemy will definitely become more crazy.

When the other two tubes of arrows were exhausted, Feng Yeling could no longer resist the enemy with arrows, so he had no choice but to jump off the eaves and duck back to the gate tower.

Hua Yuxi withdrew the needle from Wu Yi, whose face had turned from white to red, and breathed a sigh of relief: "He's fine."

Feng Yeling said gratefully: "Thank you very much."

Hua Yuxi said expressionlessly: "Save your energy for talking nonsense and save it for killing the enemy."

She straightened up, turned around and said to the Langya Army soldiers in the cave: "Set fire."

The soldiers in the gatehouse had obviously been prepared according to her instructions. They chopped the wooden boxes used for storing goods in the cave into pieces of firewood, piled them at the door of the gatehouse, and lit a flame nearly as high as one person.

Hua Yuxi didn't know what medicine she added to the fire, and black smoke immediately erupted from the fire, swirling around and blocking people's sight.

The black smoke was blown by the northwest wind outside, and immediately rolled towards the stone steps on the south side. Hua Yuxi threw the thick smoke into the air, pointed her toes lightly on the platform, and after a few leaps, she rushed to the place full of enemies.

On the stone steps on the south side.

She held the Hua Wu Sword in her right hand, and shot out a cross golden feather from her left sleeve. Under the cover of the thick smoke, the Hua Wu Sword and the cross golden feathers were shot alternately. The enemies were hit one after another without knowing what they were hit by.

To fall down, roll down.

Someone was shooting arrows blindly at the foot of the stone steps, but Hua Yuxi ducked back to the gatehouse early. Not only did the arrows miss her, but they hit several of her own people who were running around on the stone steps.

The enemies on the stone steps on the south side were blocked by the thick smoke. Hua Yuxi burst out of the smoke and rushed to the top of the stone steps on the north side. She retracted the cross golden feathers, and the roses unfolded with all their strength, stabbing continuously with the "Thousand-leaf Rose" style.

Hitting the knees of four enemy soldiers, they screamed and fell to the ground, blocking the teammates behind them who were trying to advance.

Hua Yuxi achieved such a result, but instead of retreating, she advanced forward. She leaped over the four people who had fallen to the ground, and threw herself straight to the small platform between the second and third stone steps on the north side. Facing the dense crowd, she didn't know how many people were squeezed in.

To the enemy, she used the "Color of the City of Gods", her flower dance sword to draw a wonderful semicircle. Wherever the blade of the sword touched, the enemy soldiers fell to the ground one after another, just like when the peonies were in full bloom, it could make the surrounding flowers eclipse.

Before more enemies came forward to attack, she tiptoed a little and calmly escaped back to the gate tower, leaving only more than ten corpses lying on the north and south stone steps.

The wood in front of the building door was burned out and the thick smoke began to dissipate. Under the dim skylight, you could see blood stains everywhere on the small cloud platform. The scene was terrifying, like the underworld.

The sound of horns and drums shook the earth, and two more centurions climbed up the stone steps and advanced towards the gate tower from the north and south sides.

At this time, Feng Yeling and Hua Yuxi were stationed on the north and south sides of the platform, each facing a set of stone steps, and eight Langya Army soldiers stood behind them, trying to use the condescending terrain to block them for a while.

Hua Yuxi's flower dance sword changes into endless forms of flowers, bringing the ever-changing shape, meaning and spirit of the rose to the extreme, as if being separated from the battlefield of life and death, and placed in a fantasy world of blooming flowers.
