"I'd better go there. If the Third Young Master has already gone to Chiyang City, I'll rush over immediately." Yao Qinghan said.
"That's it, it's settled," Cai Qidong said.
Du Xuanying rushed all night, but at dawn, he still had not reached Chiyang City. As a result, the scouts came to report, and the 500 men and horses supplemented by Yang Wancai arrived.
This news made Du Xuan overjoyed. With the addition of 500 people, the number of dragon scale horse cavalry in his hands reached 2000. Previously, he easily wiped out 5000 barbarian cavalry with 2000. If he fights to the limit, he can even face tens of thousands of barbarians.
The cavalry is also capable of fighting. What's more, how could Du Xuan foolishly go head-to-head with the barbarian army? As long as the dragon-scaled horse is highly mobile, he can fly the kite of the barbarian army.
"Third Young Master, the barbarians are preparing to attack the city. This time, the barbarians have sent out most of their main force. Only less than 5,000 people are left to guard the central army tent." Hu Benrui personally led a team of scouts to the barbarian camp to spy.
Du Xuan beamed with joy: "What a great opportunity. Hu Benrui, lead the scout battalion and completely block all the passages around Chiyang City. Barbarian scouts will never be allowed to appear in these passages. Pay attention to the movements of the barbarian troops at all times. Pay close attention to the battlefield situation, and be prepared at any time.
Report every move of the enemy to me!"
Du Changgeng stood on the city tower, looking at the barbarian troops swarming in, and suddenly felt a chill coming from the depths of his heart. The barbarians were serious about it, no longer testing, and struck with thunder as soon as they came up.
"Xu Liyuan! Keep the notification going and use all the tricks you can! Whether you can withstand the barbarian attack depends on this battle!" Du Changgeng shouted.
Xu Liyuan could tell that something was wrong with the general's tone today. Naturally, he had already noticed the movements of the barbarian troops outside the city wall. The barbarian attack today was very different from yesterday.
"Fire up the kerosene! You guys over there quickly boil the gold juice, it will be used later! Don't be idle, roll the rocks and logs up first! Pay attention later, when the barbarian dogs shoot, you stay away.
"Come on, don't stand stupidly at the crenel and be a target for the barbarian dogs!" Xu Liyuan shouted, instructing the soldiers and civilians to make urgent defense preparations.
In fact, most of the preparations had already been made. At this time, they were just done more fully. The city wall was already piled with stones and rolled logs. There was a large iron pot not far away, with a raging fire burning underneath.
, the soup in the cauldron has begun to boil, emitting a pungent stench. Although the defenders of the city are all new soldiers, who among the soldiers and civilians of the Chiyang Guard has never seen a city defender, and who doesn't know a trick to defend a city?
It's just that they couldn't bear the cruelty against the ferocious barbarians.
Du Changgeng's expression was solemn. This was a war that was completely uncertain. He didn't know whether Chiyang City could withstand this attack that was destined to be stormy.
Xirigoulig, the commander of Jiasi, is Lakshen's capable general, and the main attack on Ximen is led by him. Xirigoulig is a fierce general who has followed Lakshen in the barbarian pastures for many years. In the battle with Daqi, he also
He was quite famous. He was cruel by nature and massacred many cities in Daqi.
"My sons, capture this city! Don't seal the sword for three days!" Xi Rigoulige shouted loudly.
Xirigoulige actually planned to massacre Chiyang City after capturing it.
Everyone in Chiyang City has devoted themselves to this war, because everyone knows what will happen if the city is broken. The tragic story has been staged countless times in the west of Daqi. The bloodiness and cruelty of the barbarians are everyone's
Everyone in Chiyang Guard knows him deeply.
Luo Xifeng was not guarding the general's residence either. She was just like the most ordinary woman in Chiyang City, using her meager strength to support the warriors on the city wall.
"When the battle starts, don't panic, everyone. If you hide against the wall, you can avoid the barbarian bows and arrows. My soldiers are using their flesh and blood to resist this disaster for us. When they come down
, we have to prepare hot dishes and meals for them. If they are injured, we will bandage them. If they are killed in battle, we will raise their children..." Luo Xifeng showed extremely calmness, not at all worried about the upcoming scene.
frightened by the brutal war.
A boy about four or five years old was frightened into tears by the tense atmosphere of the coming war. Luo Xifeng walked over and put her hand on the boy's face: "You can't cry. You will be the warrior of our Chiyang City in the future.
It’s up to you to protect me. Don’t be afraid, kid!”
"Will the barbaric dogs come in? Will they kill us?" the boy asked sobbing.
"No, they can't get in. As long as we in Chiyang City work together and as long as all the men in Chiyang City are not dead, they can't get in," Luo Xifeng said.
"But my father is dead. He was pierced through the neck by a barbarian dog's arrow yesterday. Will I also be shot through the neck by a barbarian dog's arrow?" The boy cried hard.
"No, kid. Barbarian dogs' bows and arrows cannot penetrate the walls of Chiyang City. Where is your mother?" Luo Xifeng looked around to see where the boy's mother was.
"My father is dead, and my mother is sleeping at home. I can't wake her up," the boy said aggrievedly.
"Quick! Take me to your home." Luo Xifeng had an ominous premonition.
"Madam, the barbarians are coming soon, we'd better go back as soon as possible." Du An said worriedly.
"No rush. My child, take me to your home quickly." Luo Xifeng gently held the boy's hand.
"Du An, what are you doing? Go tell Luo Yunnan quickly and ask them to pay more attention to the situation at the West City Gate. The main force of the barbarians is at the West City Gate!" Du Changgeng shouted loudly.
Luo Yunnan is a member of the Qianhu Guard Camp. Luo Yunnan is Luo Xifeng's younger brother. The guard camp is so important, so naturally Du Changgeng entrusts it to the person he trusts the most.
With so many military orders, Du An could only tell the two servants of the Du family to take good care of Luo Xifeng, and quickly mounted his horse and rushed to the guard camp.
Whoosh!
A cold arrow suddenly flew into Chiyang City and was nailed to the rafter of a wooden house not far away. The arrow penetrated deeply into the wood, and the arrow shaft was still shaking.
The siege begins! The barbarians officially launch their attack.
"Madam, the barbarians are attacking the city! Go back quickly!" a servant of the Du family said hurriedly.
"Why are you panicking?" Luo Xifeng glared at the man, "Walk close to the edge of the house, you can't shoot with a bow and arrow."
The two servants of the Du Mansion were so frightened by Luo Xifeng's aura that they did not dare to say another word. Even the child was frightened.
"Don't be afraid, child. If we are more aggressive, even the wild dogs will be afraid. Tell aunt, where is your home?" Luo Xifeng quickly comforted the child.
"My home is over there." The little boy pointed to a small alley not far away and said.
Outside Chiyang City, the barbarians were running and firing arrows at the city wall. Although they attacked from bottom to top, their bows and arrows were very powerful, and the arrows were like flying awns that densely enveloped Chiyang City. Instead, they hit the walls of Chiyang City.
