I made two big cakes in the Huotou Army in the military camp, and asked Long'er to find a pot of stewed cakes and put a bowl of rice. After a simple breakfast, I took Long'er to the city wall and found Cheng Chumo who was curled up in the corner to take a nap.

The nights in Shicheng were very cold. Although Cheng Chumo was covered with a thick cloak, there were also some ice on his beard.

"Brother Chumo, wake up." Xuan Shijing squatted down and shook Cheng Chumo.

"Hmm? Hum? What's wrong? Are those kids starting to attack the city?" Cheng Chumo jumped up suddenly.

It can be seen that Cheng Chumo's nerves were tense all night and he was always alert. I'm afraid it was only dawn that he took a nap and took a rest.

"No, there is no movement yet. You go back to the camp and have a good sleep. I can just watch it. If there is any situation at that time, I will send someone to call you." Xuan Shijing said. Seeing Cheng Chumo working so hard, it would be better to replace him and have a rest.

"Okay, I'll go back first." Cheng Chumo patted the dust on his body and gave Xuan Shijing the heavy cloak on his body: "You are weak and the wind is strong on the city wall. Your cloak does not block the wind, use this one for your brother."

Xuan Shijing took the cloak and nodded: "Finish, hurry up and go and rest."

Cheng Chumo shouted to the side: "Wang Jin, inform the brothers to change their defenses and rest."

"Yes!" A soldier not far away responded, and then Cheng Chumo took two personal soldiers beside him down the city wall.

After Cheng Chumo said this, Xuan Shijing felt a chill on his body. He put on Cheng Chumo's cloak and walked into the city tower. There was a simple wooden table in the city tower, and there were several benches around it. It must be the place where soldiers usually vigil and rest on their nights. Although it was the city tower, there were still square watchtowers around it. The wind was pouring inside, which was not much warmer than outside, so he could only barely block the wind.

There is also a brazier in the corner, with wooden racks all around it, and a pot hanging above it. There is also hot water in the pot. If you are frozen outside at night, you can't stand it if you don't drink some hot water.

"It's really hard for the soldiers guarding this kind of place. Yutian Town is even more west than this stone city, and the conditions are not as difficult as this." Xuan Shijing moved a bench and placed it on the brazier, sat on the stool, covered his cloak and roasted the fire.

"Of course, it cannot be compared with Yutian Town." Long'er took a bowl and poured some hot water for Xuan Shijing: "When it comes out of Yutian Town, it is Shule, and there are many Hu merchants. The young marquis also knows that the biggest condition for survival in the Western Regions is to have a water source. There are Yuhe and Miduohe River between Yutian Town and Shule. The snow on the Kunlun Mountains melts and goes downstream. The water continues all year round. Naturally, there are more people gathering around. With more people, the environment will be relatively better, right?"

Xuan Shijing took the hot water and took a sip: "Yes, Shicheng is a military city after all. Now the original Turkic territory has been taken into the Tang Dynasty, but the original group of people live on the grasslands. I don't know if the so-called eagles on the grassland will take this opportunity to make a fuss when the Tubo people fight with the Tang Dynasty this time." Yesterday, when he was studying the map, Xuan Shijing was thinking about these things, but the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the Tubo people who are in front of him. Moreover, the Turkic tribe on the grassland is not something that Xuan Shijing can manage. Yuan Shoucheng once told him the truth about Mu Xiuyulin. Xuan Shijing once joked that Yuan Shoucheng had helped him calculate his fortune, and he didn't know what he had calculated. No matter how Xuan Shijing asked, Yuan Shoucheng always passed by and said that the secret of heaven should not be revealed.

"Report to the little marquis, the Tubo people are here." A soldier walked into the city tower from outside.

Xuan Shijingteng stood up with a sound and placed the bowl on the table: "Go out and have a look."

He tightened his cloak and walked out of the city tower.

Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, the Tubo army was approaching Shicheng at an extremely fast speed. It was probably because they didn't come to attack Shicheng last night, so they would probably have to rectify the army, have enough rest, and prepare for today's battle.

"The whole army is on guard! Send people to the camp to summon all the soldiers in the lieutenant general's camp and call General Cheng over." Although Xuan Shijing wanted Cheng Chumo to rest for a while, the situation in front of him was not waiting for anyone, and he didn't care about so many things. He was a layman in the army and war, and it was okay to give advice. If he really fought, he still needed an expert like Cheng Chumo.

Soon, the Tubo army arrived in front of Shicheng, and the walls of Shicheng were also full of soldiers.

"Listen to the Tang people on the city wall, I kindly advise you, so I should open the city gate and surrender quickly and let you live. Anyway, you are the only ones who cannot withstand the attack of our army. If you do not surrender, don't blame me after breaking the city!" The person in front shouted to the city wall.

"Let me surrender, do you have the ability? If you have the ability, come in. I will be here to live with your grandchildren!" Cheng Chumo shouted to the bottom.

"Do you have a hard bow?" Xuan Shijing felt very upset when he looked at the man in front of him: "Find a hard bow for me, just two stones."

Zhao Ying, who was following Cheng Chumo, nodded and turned around to find a bow and arrow for Xuan Shijing.

"What, Shijing, do you want to use a bow?" Cheng Chumo looked at Xuan Shijing in surprise. Although he knew Xuan Shijing could have some martial arts on the battlefield yesterday, how could he pull a two-stone hard bow with a small body?

Soon, the bow was found. Xuan Shijing took the bow and pulled the bowstring with his hand. He tried it. Although it was not very easy, it was enough. He took off Cheng Chumo's heavy cloak and lifted the cloak he had originally worn behind him. He pulled out the sharp arrow from the arrow bag on the back of the soldier next to him, bent his bow and put it on, and pulled the bowstring hard. In an instant, the bow was like a full moon, aiming at the enemy general in front of the formation, let go, and the sharp arrow broke through the air and headed towards the enemy general.

Cheng Chumo, who was beside him, grew up with his mouth in surprise. Xuan Shijing's small body actually pulled the bow of two stones, which was incredible.

Xuan Shijing tried his best to pull the bow full, but he would miss it on his head, and only this arrow was the only one. Xuan Shijing's arm was no longer strong. He knew very well that the most important factor in fighting was morale. If this arrow hit, it would greatly encourage the morale of the Tang army.

The enemy general saw a thin young man bent his bow and arrow on the city wall, and he was not worried, and he still laughed and said, "Is there really no one in the stone city? The masters don't really want to go to the real world. I'll find a child to come over and pull the bowstring? Hahahahahaha."

When he laughed, the people in the Tubo army behind him also laughed. A burst of laughter came to the city wall. The soldiers guarding the city on the city wall were red and they wanted to go down and fight to prove themselves.

Suddenly, the laughter of the leading enemy general stopped abruptly...
