Chapter 4: Choices (three times) The brothers of Xiongwu Camp used rolling logs and stones to "retain" more than a dozen enemy soldiers who were unable to retreat. Then, the battle outside Dongcheng fell into a dull stalemate. The rebel equipment under Han Shihe
Excellent and well-trained, but without the assistance of effective siege weapons, they were temporarily unable to do anything to the tall walls of Liyang City. The brothers of the Xiongwu Camp had a geographical advantage and high morale, but they could not attack the enemy unless they entered the Wengcheng.
Producing greater damage. Most of the time, both sides were shooting at each other with feather arrows. The sharp arrows shot by the rebels fell from the sky, and the city was covered with dense white feathers. Those who were close to the outside of the city wall and behind the battlements
The blind spot became an ideal haven for the defenders. They huddled there, covered their calves with shields, and from time to time stretched out their heads to shoot a cold arrow, like a demonstration by the enemy. Although in most cases the arrows were ten minutes short of the target.
Eighteen thousand miles, but still shooting with great pleasure
Li Xu hugged his black knife and curled up under the female wall outside the enemy tower to catch his breath. The battle just now was too tense. At this moment, the crisis was over. He felt that his whole body was soft and he couldn't lift even a little bit of strength. There were a few small bruises on his arms and thighs.
His wound began to hurt, and with his heartbeat, it felt like a knife was piercing his flesh. These were not the things that bothered him the most. What bothered him most at the moment was that he found another friend among the enemy.
Friends who once saved each other's lives, but now have to fight to the death.
Wu Heita and his armored infantry did not retreat too far. Unwilling to accept defeat, he was standing on the official road less than 150 steps away from the outer city gate, waiting for the next opportunity to attack and shoot sporadically from the top of the city.
The feather arrow has lost its power when it reaches this position. Even if it hits, it cannot penetrate the iron armor. Apart from that former friend, Wu Heitai does not believe that there is another person in Liyang City who can give him a fatal threat from such a long distance. He will
The weapons in his hands were replaced by a giant shield and a thick-backed ring sword. He was pacing back and forth uneasily. He didn't know whether it was because he couldn't bear to part with the steel fork that was lost in the urn city, or for other reasons. Xuzi saw him trying to rush to the city gate several times.
, but he stepped back several times in the middle of the journey. "He wants to talk to me!" Li Xu felt a breath in his heart that was uncomfortable. He also wanted to poke his head out from the city wall and ask Wu Heitai how he was doing.
If you don't do it as a knight-errant, why would you do the traitorous thing of confiscating your family and exterminating your clan after being caught? But after weighing it several times, the impulse in Xuzi's heart was finally suppressed by reason. He is no longer the original Xuzi, with his official title and reputation.
It has become a part of his life. The more things a person carries, the more he needs to consider the consequences of doing things.
"Acquaintance?" Yuwen Shiji bowed his head and ran over against the female wall, smiling and asking.
"Not too familiar, we just sold horses together outside the Great Wall!" Li Xu shrugged his shoulders and answered lazily. He knew that his abnormal behavior could not be hidden from Yu Wenshi, so he simply admitted that after such a long relationship,
He also discovered that Yuwen Shiji was not as hateful as he thought
"I paid the bill with a knife!" Yu Wenshi and his sharp tongue successfully earned himself a roll of eyes, smiled, and continued: "That guy is so skilled, no wonder he can go to harm Ashina with you.
Yu! It’s a pity that I didn’t follow the right path and wasted my martial arts skills!”
"His personality is very similar to yours!" Li Xu knocked Yu Wenshiji's combat boots with a black knife and motioned for him to shrink his legs as far as possible against the wall to avoid being hurt by stray arrows. "He said that all officials are heinous villains.
Therefore, in this life, you will never enter public service, and you will never go to hell!"
"Really?" A narrow smile appeared on Yu Wenshiji's face, "A person who can command two armored regiments among the rebels must at least be a lieutenant. If it is rare for an officer to rebel, then he is not an officer? If so, then he is not an officer."
Yang Xuangan is really lucky enough to conquer the world, is he willing to give away the fame he gained by sacrificing his life in vain?"
If these two people let go and have a quarrel, the scene will definitely be exciting. Li Xu turned around and looked at Wu Heitai standing in the middle of the official road outside the city through the viewing hole, and then at Yuwen Shiji who stuck out his tongue to show off his power.
He thought about this topic without any malicious intent. He didn't intend to discuss it too deeply, so he took the initiative to turn his attention to the battle situation.
"How is Zhao Changshi injured? Is his life in danger?"
"I was stabbed three times. Fortunately, the wounds were quite big. They were all cut with kitchen knives. No bones were injured. Doctor Sun is here, so he can't die!" The smile on Yu Wenshiji's face became thicker and thicker, as if he had discovered something proud.
General, overjoyed
"Why are you laughing? I already told you that I don't know him very well!" Li Xu was so embarrassed by Yu Wenshiji's laughter that he emphasized with a straight face.
"It's useless to be familiar with it. There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield! If he doesn't kill you, it doesn't mean that others won't stab you!" Yu Wenshi replied neatly, and then he stretched out his hand to gesture at the top of his guard, and smiled dirtyly.
He stood up and said, "Guess where Zhao Changshi hit the knife, the root of his thigh, just half an inch off..."
Li Xu looked along Yuwen Shiji's hand. Suddenly, he understood the dilemma of Zhao Ziming who was almost chopped into an eunuch. Apart from feeling funny in his heart, he also felt a little dissatisfied with Yuwen Shiji. "What's so funny?"
Yes, he is our brother! You are the supervisor of the Xiongwu Camp and the emperor’s consort..."
It turns out that the Prince Consort is also so vulgar! Xuzi was shocked by his new discovery and sensitively closed his mouth. In his heart, most people from wealthy families are polite, cold and insidious, even with Yu Wenshi
Even though they were so familiar, he didn't expect that the other person's character had such a vulgar side. "He seems to be getting more and more vulgar." Xuzi was shocked by his discovery. At the same time, he felt that the relationship with Yuwenshi and each other was quickly getting closer.
In an instant, the impressions left by Li Jiancheng, Liu Hongji, Li Yuan, Yu Wenshu and others in Xu Zi's mind became clearer and clearer.
"Oh, I forgot you're not married yet!" Yu Wenshiji was confused by the thoughtful expression on Xu Zi's face, wishfully speculating on the reason why the other party was not thankful for Zhao Ziming's injury. "It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it."
After the war, you will definitely become famous in one fell swoop! Many people are eager to send their daughters to their doorsteps."
"Lord Supervisor, the enemy is still attacking the city!" Li Xu protested in a low voice with his ears turning red from embarrassment.
"The end of a strong crossbow! I don't believe that Han Shihe can knock down the city wall with his hands. If he sends people into Wengcheng again, we will just gather a group of heads to claim the merit!" Yu Wenshiji replied confidently that he liked the young man's embarrassed look very much,
Among my former friends, not many would blush when mentioning weddings. Those guys had been served by personal maids since they were young. They understood what humane marriage was before they were fourteen years old. For most of them, it was a
Transactions, transactions between families. Yuwenshiji looked at Xuzi, who was blushing, and suddenly remembered that his wife and children had been married for many years. Yuwenshiji couldn't remember when that transaction happened. He only knew that marrying
A princess never means happiness
"Whose daughter do you like in the future? I'll tell you the story for you!" Yu Wenshiji patted Li Xu on the shoulder and covered up the emotion in his heart with a smile. He knew that he was not completely telling a joke. He was so quick like Li Xu.
For young generals who are rising and have no family to rely on, marrying a certain family is indeed a good way to maintain their independence and obtain strong support. And some families who do not value the family so seriously are not stingy about marrying into a family.
Give birth to a daughter from a concubine in order to win over a potential military rookie.
Li Xu smiled and did not answer, "Will he really become famous in one fell swoop?" He did not dare to think that his future would be so smooth. But at the next moment, all kinds of expectations flooded into his mind. "Will he be promoted? Or be awarded a title?"
?Or grant food?' He thought happily, imagining the satisfied smiles on his parents' faces when he returned home in rich clothes. His father would certainly say, "Xuzi, you have brought honor to our Li family. When your grandfather was still alive, he said
You are a piece of wormwood on the grave of our Li family!" As for my mother, she will happily put on the clothes made of brocade given by the royal family, and then ask herself unwillingly, why don't you hurry up and find a daughter-in-law so that she can get married early?
Report a grandson
‘Tao Kuo Tuosi is already married!’ Suddenly, a feeling of sadness surged through Li Xu’s body. He stood up slowly, covered his body with his shield, and walked slowly towards the horse path.
"Where are you going?" Yu Wenshi asked. He didn't understand what the young man was doing. Just now when he mentioned military merit, his face was still sunny, but in the blink of an eye, it was filled with dark clouds.
"The east gate is safe now. I'll go and inspect the other city walls!" Xuzi didn't look back, turning his back to Yu Wenshi and answered. As he moved, a few drops of blood slowly seeped out from the wound on his leg, which was wiped out by the setting sun on the city.
The reflection looked particularly red. Several arrows flew towards her. Asahi shook the black knife and split the arrow shafts in half one by one.
"Protect the general, protect the general." Zhang Xiu quickly followed with more than a dozen personal guards and formed a shield wall around Xu Zi.
"Please Dr. Sun, please Dr. Sun, the general is injured, the general is injured!" Zhou Daniu shouted in panic.
"Don't be surprised. It's best to let this kind of minor injury dry out!" Li Xu patted Zhou Daniu's shoulder with the back of his knife, and whispered to him that he didn't want to alarm more people. The pain could wake him up and make him aware of the pain.
Forgetting many worries can help him know what he is doing and not get lost during the journey due to surrounding distractions.
The general of the Sui Dynasty, in the hearts of the elders of the Su Chuan tribe, should be as important as a nephew of the Turkic king. However, all this happened too late. It was not fate, but Tao Kuo and himself.
too early
The young man slowly walked off the horse path, his steps gradually becoming firmer.
