    In autumn, the wild geese return south, and the north wind becomes colder.

    The cold wave formed a thin layer of frost between the corrugated corrugations, and the weather in Qingyun City became even colder. Occasionally, a lone geese flew south, making a pitiful cry. The sky was not as blue and white as before, and it was terrifyingly gloomy.  The sun has not shined through the clouds for a long time on this city wall that has been eroded by countless wars. On a cold day, even the sun cannot warm people.

    Those Mangguo people who migrated from the grasslands have long been accustomed to such weather. However, because of the demon sect members who often patrol the streets, the old, weak, women and children can only move around in the courtyard. On the streets, except for those wearing armor,  Except for the members of the Demon Cult, no Mangguo people could be seen. The young and middle-aged people were stationed at each city gate. The Spear people were very knowledgeable about weapons. Su Qin ordered them to make weapons to defend the city.  Nearly a thousand spear tribesmen, under the leadership of Hu Yilu, built a trebuchet that was twice as powerful as an ordinary trebuchet, and an arrow crossbow that could fire fifty arrows at a time. In addition, in the hands of the demon cultists,  The spears of the Spear Tribe have also been greatly improved by the people of the Spear Clan. The spear head has been lengthened by half an inch and made into a prismatic shape, replacing the previous knife shape. If not for a short period of time, Su Qin believes that the Qilin Military's muskets and spears Clan have been intimidating the world.  People from the Mang Kingdom can also develop it, and those people from the Mang Kingdom are being monitored by the followers of the Demon Sect to use trebuchets. The reason for this is because Su Qin has learned from the information returned by spies that there will be a war soon.

    Seeing the Spear Clan people assembling trebuchets on the city wall, Su Qin then looked at the Addes Mountains, and unconsciously remembered the trip to the Addes Mountains a few days ago, when Makino took Su Qin and Hua Qingwu with him.  He revisited the place where he lived when he was a child, but it had only been a year. The wooden houses on the mountain were already dilapidated. Looking at the messy residence, Su Qin and Makino didn't stay long before they came back - this trip was a flower.  Qing Wu noticed that she wanted Su Qin to revisit the old place to see if he could recall some memories, but the result was not optimistic.

    Looking back from the Addes Mountains, Su Qin's eyes fell to the south. He looked at the endless sky as if he didn't know when the end of his life would come. Although he couldn't see it, Su Qin knew that the war in the south was urgent. Thinking of this, Su Qin  Touching his chest, there was a letter from Ye Ruoshui Fei Ge. In the letter, Ye Ruoshui had urged him for the third time to lead his troops back to Ningguo as soon as possible and return to the rear of the war. Regarding the escape of Lu Yu and Qiao Er, Ye Ruoshui  Ruoshui did not hide anything. After knowing that Mang State did not send troops to attack Yan State after the defeat of Yan Army, Hua Qingwu also persuaded Su Qin to go south. This would at least be safer, but Su Qin refused. As for the reason, Su Qin did not tell Hua Qingwu  Wu didn't know either - Su Qin had his own ideas. He had no intention of going back since he led the Demon Cult members. The reason was not only that Ye Ruoshui asked him to leave when he met Ye Ruoshui, but more importantly, Su Qin believed in Lu Yu.  He and Qiao Er will return to Mangguo and stay in Qingyun City. Su Qin believes that he has a greater chance of meeting them on the battlefield.

    "There is news that the Tianshui Kingdom has sent a large army to suppress the border, and Ye Ruoshui's side has attacked three cities of the Yan Kingdom. Although there is no movement from the Mang Kingdom and the tribe, since they rebelled last time, the target is naturally the Yan Kingdom.  " Seeing that Su Qin had been silent, Hua Qingwu spoke up.

    "Tianshui Kingdom and Yan Kingdom have a long history of grievances. Naturally, they will not let it go this time. The reason why Mang Kingdom and the tribe did not take action is probably to deal with us." Su Qin said with a smile. After finishing speaking, he looked at the water on the city wall.  When the thin ice formed, Su Qin stepped forward gently. There was a soft click, and the thin ice fell apart instantly as if lightning flashed across it.

    Looking at Su Qin's look, Hua Qingwu smiled, "You still have the heart to play with this? Didn't some spies say that Mangguo and the tribe have gathered troops and are coming here?"

    "It's not that I'm coming, but I've already set off. If I'm not wrong, I should be arriving at the city at dusk." After taking a look at Hua Qingwu, Su Qin then turned to the southeast and waited until Mang Guo and the tribe  When the army arrives, how long can Qingyun City hold on?

    "We only have 40,000 men here" Seeing Su Qinhun's nonchalant look, Hua Qingwu said with some worry, "If the Mang Kingdom and the tribe put all their efforts, they can at least mobilize an army of 200,000  How can we defeat him?"

    "For hundreds of years, Qingyun City has been guarded by the Qi family army. One hundred thousand people have blocked hundreds of attacks from the Mang Kingdom. Every time the Mang Kingdom's cavalry arrives, it is never less than the number you just mentioned. Although our numbers are  Less, but the Mang Kingdom and the tribe also have to guard against the Yan Kingdom. Don¡¯t worry, they won¡¯t mobilize all their troops, and" Su Qin said and glanced at the north, "If we can¡¯t fight, we can still run away.  What?"

    Seeing Su Qin say this, Hua Qingwu nodded and said nothing more, and Su Qin walked towards Hu Yilu. There were nearly a hundred trebuchets and hundreds of arrows and crossbows placed on the south city gate about three hundred feet long.  , in the words of Hu Yilu, as long as the Mangguo cavalry comes, arrows and stones are fired all over the city, and no flies can fly up.

    "Makino led the peopleI went to pull the stone, and I checked the arrows. Mangguo has a lot of stock, and there will be no problem if I persist for a while.  "Seeing Su Qin coming over, Hu Yilu said to Su Qin.

    Su Qin nodded, "There are no problems with the people in Mang Country, right?"

    "They have become much more honest after killing a few people last time." Hu Yilu nodded. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted the trebuchet beside him. "I heard that there are many black fires in Tianshui Kingdom. If you can get some, they will be more honest."  , I will find something to scoop them up and throw them into the Mang Kingdom¡¯s cavalry, which will definitely make them unable to bear it.¡±

    "The stones are ready, three or four stones at a time, so many trebuchets can attack many people at once." At this point, Su Qin looked inside the city wall, "I saw the sharp blade you placed on the horse, it's very good  , It¡¯s just that we can¡¯t go out of the city to fight them at the moment, so¡­¡±

    "That thing is useless, just for stabbing the opponent's horse." Hu Yilu said with a smile, "Su Qin, put poison on all the arrows?"

    Hearing what Hu Yilu said, Su Qin frowned, then nodded, "Now is an extraordinary period, so use extraordinary means."

    "Okay, there are some highly toxic formulas in our Spear Clan, which will seal the throat when they see blood. I will order someone to apply it on the arrows." Hu Yilu nodded, then chatted with Su Qin for a few words, and then he was busy with himself  things went.

    When Su Qin had nothing to do, he walked around the city wall with Hua Qingwu. Time passed quickly. Spies kept coming back to report the location between Mangguo and the tribe and Qingyun City. At dusk, Mangguo began to set up camp ten miles away from Qingyun City.  , and Su Qin and others on the city wall couldn't help but be a little surprised when they looked at the Mangguo and tribal troops.

    "It seems that the old saying is true. How can you allow others to sleep soundly? Mo Xiao learned from the past and sent so many troops over."

    "I'm afraid it's no less than 150,000, right?" Looking at the phalanx that stretched for more than ten miles in front of him, Hei Ling frowned and said.

    "At least one hundred thousand." Gao Chong said on the side. After saying this, Gao Chong looked at the open space under Qingyun City, "I don't know if the ambush arranged by Hu Yilu outside the city wall is of any use."

    "They will attack after they have rested enough. We will know when the time comes." At this point, Su Qin turned around and said, "Pay attention to those Mangguo people, and kill them if they make the slightest move."

    Hei Ling nodded aside, "There are people guarding each trebuchet, and" Hei Ling said and looked back at Leng Hanyue, "I followed Lao Leng's attention and gathered their wives and children at the city gate.  In the end, if any of them dares to have evil intentions, it will be all their families who will suffer."

    Hearing Hei Ling's words, Hua Qingwu frowned. Looking at Su Qin, she found that Su Qin's face was a little gloomy, so she said nothing.

    "Get ready, let's see how many days we can defend Qingyun City." After saying this, Su Qin clenched his fist tightly, and then looked at the people behind him, "No one is allowed to retreat without my order.  Kill on sight."

    After Hei Ling and others said yes, they dispersed. Looking at Su Qin who was looking in the direction of the Mangguo military camp, Hua Qingwu suddenly had a question in her heart, "Su Qin, why do you take such a big risk?"  Guard Qingyun City."

    Su Qin shook his head, "I don't know, I just think Qingyun City is very important to me."

    Hearing Su Qin's words, Hua Qingwu was a little surprised. Thinking of what Bai Qi once said about Su Qin and Qiluo Ge going south from Qingyun City together, Qingyun CityQiluo Ge Faintly aware of something, Hua Qingwu nodded at Su Qin  He nodded, said nothing, and then put the helmet on his head.

    While Su Qin and others were waiting quietly on the city wall for the Mangguo cavalry to attack, Hulun Qinghan and Su Mu stood in front of the military camp and looked at Qingyun City at dusk.

    "Qingyun City once made the ancestors of Mangguo suffer a lot. Every inch of the land under the city wall has the blood of Mangguo people." Looking at Qingyun City, Hulun Qinghan said with some nostalgia. After finishing speaking,  Hulun Qinghan chuckled and looked at the figures on the city wall, "Let all this become history."

    "I saw him." After listening to Hulun Qinghan's words, Su Mu looked at the figure in the center of the city gate and said.

    "He should have died a long time ago." Hulun Qinghan said softly after taking a look at the disgusted expression on Su Mu's face when he spoke.

    Su Mu nodded, "He should have died when he was a child." Su Mu clenched his fists and took half a step forward. "I should have killed him when he was in the tribe."

    "Why do you want to kill him so much?"

    "Because he deserves to die."

    Silently repeating what Su Mu said, Hulun Qinghan suddenly smiled, "This is a very good reason."

    "Su Qin entered the Heavenly Forbidden City and wanted to take away my position as the clan leader. He also wanted to eat swan meat and wanted to go to the woods."Henyu, what a pity" Su Mu said and laughed, "So what if Mu Henyu married the prince of the Yan Kingdom, and he became the leader of the Demon Cult?  Aren't you hiding in the city wall and not daring to come out?  "

    Listening to Su Mu's words, Hulun Qinghan turned back and glanced at the soldiers behind him, "Since you want to kill him so much, what are you waiting for?"

    "Tribe warriors, charge for me!" Su Mu turned around and shouted, and Hulun Qinghan seemed to have raised his hand and waved forward. The Mangguo cavalry carried the ladder and headed towards Qingyun City with the tribesmen.  Rush away.
