After Xu Yin and others entered the city, the Yuan army launched a formal siege.
Inside and outside the city, the offensive and defensive equipment of both sides were at war with each other.
In the early years, the Yuan army had already set up 20 or 30 reflux cannons, a sharp weapon used to attack cities and seize territory. The city also had this technology and set up multiple counterweight trebuchets for counterattack.
The city had plenty of supplies, otherwise the defenders would not have been able to admit so many people into the city.
Therefore, you come and go, and you are not at a disadvantage.
Especially in the battle outside the city just now, Xu Yin and others counterattacked and nearly wiped out two waves of elite cavalry, which greatly boosted the morale that had been low recently.
The defenders fought extremely hard. This time the Yuan army had no desire to get close to the city wall. After fighting for most of a day, they stopped and continued to maintain the siege.
The sunset is dim, the twilight is deep, the crows are chirping, and the lonely city is silent.
The mottled city wall, the broken gap, the setting sun shining sideways, Xu Yin sat on a pile of Yuan army corpses, looking up and drinking strong wine.
In the last wave of siege, the Yuan army's ladders had already been erected at the top of the city, and the nearby rams and ballistas used to destroy the ladders were malfunctioning.
This group of Yuan troops also included many masters from the Western Regions. They stormed the city and immediately killed all the defenders in this area, almost completely seizing this section of the city wall.
Xu Yin and some scattered sergeants rushed to support them, and after a hard and fierce battle.
His unarmored body suffered more than a dozen wounds from swords and swords. The most serious one was a palm stamped on his back by a Tubo monk. His inner energy was so strange that it blocked all the nearby meridians and made it impossible for him to move his true energy.
smooth.
If he hadn't been in an innate state and could break through the blockage with the help of the Qi absorbed into the Baihui point, that battle would have been very dangerous.
Of course, that monk's head was stepped on by Xu Yin, rolling around on the ground like a ball.
The girl in yellow shirt walked behind Xu Yin. She always liked to be clean, but at this moment, her expensive light shirt was stained with blood, and she looked tired.
However, during the battle, the main force of the enemy army was resisted by Xu Yin alone. She just wandered around and made a surprise attack like an assassin, so she did not suffer any injuries.
She was minding her own business and cut open the fabric of Xu Yin's body where the wound was, and carefully cleaned his knife and gunshot wound, sprinkled it with gold sore medicine, and sutured the wound.
She is meticulous and thoughtful. The small needle in her hand is much thinner than an ordinary embroidery needle, and she uses catgut that can be absorbed by the human body. Every stitch is done gently and slowly. Except for the needle, her hands never touch the wound at all, making it unnoticeable.
to pain.
After all the wounds were sewn, a clean linen bandage was taken out of the bag and wrapped around it.
Xu Yin remained silent and did not disturb her at all. It was not until the wound was completely treated that he smiled evilly and said: "If Miss Yang gets married, she will definitely be a first-rate good wife, but I don't know if Xu has such a blessing."
point?"
The woman in the yellow shirt spat lightly, took out a porcelain bottle that exuded a sweet fragrance, and threw it to Xu Yin.
"This bottle of royal jelly is produced by the jade bees raised by our ancient tomb sect. It has a very good healing effect. The external injury from the sword on your body should not be a big problem. The most serious one is the internal injury on the vest, which needs good medical treatment."
Xu Yin chuckled and took it casually, but did not drink it immediately.
"I just drank strong wine, and I have an endless aftertaste. If I take another sip of honey, it will change the taste. I will drink it later. Why don't Miss Yang sit down and take a rest?"
The woman in yellow shirt frowned slightly as she looked at the corpses lying on the ground. Then she glanced at the head of the monk who was rubbing and playing with it at Xu Yin's feet. She couldn't help but extend her kick and kicked him off the city wall.
Xu Yin was stunned, laughed, and stood up, "If Miss Yang doesn't like it, just tell her. Xu is just too vengeful."
At this time, a young general came up and respectfully raised his hands and said, "Is this the Great Man?"
"It's Man..." Xu Yin muttered, thinking that this name was very strange.
"General Liu Xuan! Thank you all heroes for your help today! I have prepared a victory banquet at the government office, and all heroes are invited to come with you!"
Next to Liu Xuan was a tall man with a curly beard. Xu Yin looked familiar. The man smiled and said, "A certain family in the capital of Wei has the honor to fight alongside Man Da Xia outside the city today!"
He was the leader of the more than 300 heavily armored death squads outside the city.
Xu Yin greeted the two of them and greeted them politely. After Zhang Cuishan, Xie Xun and others came over after hearing the news, they introduced each other to everyone.
They had just assisted in the defense of the city. Although the fierce battle was bitter, the main force was the defenders, so there were not many casualties.
During a casual conversation on the road, I found out that Liu Xuan was Liu Yan's adopted son and was in charge of the defense of the city wall where Xu Yin was currently located.
Xu Yin asked about the city guard Liu Yan, but Liu Xuan looked around and talked to him. He seemed to have something to hide, and only said that he would see Liu Shuai when he entered the government office.
Xu Yin was half a step behind with a smile. Zhang Cuishan took a chance and took a step forward to talk to the generals who came with him instead of Xu Yin.
He came from a famous family in Wudang and had a great reputation in the world. Everyone was willing to make friends with him. With Yin Susu taking care of him, they had a great time chatting with him.
Xu Yin quietly said to the girl in yellow: "These rebel generals are very strange. I suspect there is a problem within the government office, or else there is a problem with Liu Yan. I heard that he was assassinated before, I don't know what the situation is."
The woman in yellow shirt nodded and said, "I just quietly asked Long Miao to go to the government office to inquire about the situation."
Long Miao is the maid who has followed the girl in yellow for the longest time. She was also among the accompanying team on Ice and Fire Island. Xu Yin understood her skills and nodded slightly.
Under the leadership of Liu Xuan, a group of people walked to the government office.
After entering the government office, many generals were waiting here and a banquet had been prepared. However, I heard that Liu Yan would not arrive until later.
Xu Yin excused himself to relieve himself from the banquet and met Long Miao, who had been waiting for him for a long time, outside the side hall.
Long Miao looked serious and whispered: "Master Xu, I just checked in the backyard and found Liu Yan's frozen body in a closed bedroom!"
Xu Yin was slightly shaken and looked solemn, "Maybe it's confirmed to be Liu Yan himself?"
"We in the Tomb Party have portraits of rebel leaders from all over the country, and we will never admit their mistakes!"
Xu Yin secretly said that the Tomb Sect indeed has super intelligence gathering capabilities.
But I heard Long Miao continue to say: "The current Liu Yan is his daughter pretending to be! I have heard the conversation between Liu Yan's daughter and her maid in her boudoir.
Liu Yan died of his injuries within a few days after he was assassinated. It was precisely because of this that the rebels who guarded various dangerous places outside the city retreated without unified instructions.
In order not to destabilize the morale of the army, the eldest lady decided to work with Liu Xuan to conceal the news of Liu Yan's death. Miss Liu, who was proficient in makeup and disguise, pretended to be his father.
However, the real commander of the city defense each time was Liu Xuan, who only used Miss Liu's mouth to give orders. Recently, the defense of the city has been unfavorable, and the morale of the troops has declined.
The defenders have not seen Liu Yan appear on the front line, so they are already suspicious. If this continues, they will be exposed sooner or later."
Xu Yin frowned and said, "So, Miss Liu is changing her appearance at the moment."
Long Miao nodded, "I think the city is difficult to defend, and Hero Xu won't be able to keep up with this round of excitement."
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Of course it won't work if you don't try."
He returned to the banquet and exchanged cups. Liu Yan was finally late.
I saw that his face was pale, as if he had lost too much blood or had recently recovered from an injury. He wore thick clothes, and his original shape could not be seen. He often pretended to cough and covered it with his hands, and even the smallest flaws were blocked.
be found.
He offered tea to each other and said, "Thanks to all the heroes for your support today, otherwise General Wei and all the hot-blooded men would have died fighting in the city. Liu's injury has not healed, so I will offer you tea instead of wine for the time being. I would like to offer you a cup! Please!"
Xu Yin listened to the other party speaking, but he deliberately lowered his voice. Obviously Miss Liu could pretend to be his father in appearance, but she couldn't pretend to be exactly like him in terms of voice.
After he toasted with wine, he excused himself from feeling unwell and left early.
During the banquet, all the generals looked at each other in astonishment, all worried.
The banquet was simple, and there were not many meat dishes and fine wines. It could only satisfy people, so it ended hastily.
After Liu Xuan persuaded Wei Du, who was almost going to bow to Chang Yuchun, to leave, he walked up to Xu Yin.
