The soldiers attacking the city still rushed towards the city wall risking their lives. The defenders on Lihuo City kept shooting arrows at the soldiers climbing towards the ladder. No one looked up at the falling snow from the sky. Except for the initial surprise, Qi Yuqiong's Appearing could no longer attract their attention. No one among the soldiers under the city wall knew who Qi Yuqiong was, and they could not care about the life or death of others, just as they were on the verge of life and death now.
A feather arrow continued to hit Qi Yuqiong's leg, and Qi Yuqiong cried bitterly.
The general who received the order from Lu Tianxing tried to use Qi Yuqiong to force Qi Luoge to withdraw, but after shooting Qi Yuqiong twice, the Tianshui army led by Qi Luoge showed no signs of retreating. This made him extremely annoyed and looked at Qi Yuqiong in tears. Crying bitterly, the guard couldn't help but sigh, thinking how the Qi family gave birth to such a pustule like you, but the scolding was enough, the guard could only torture Qi Yuqiong like this. He believed that Qi Luoge had discovered Qi Yuqiong's Being able to mentally torture Qi Luoge was also a good thing in the eyes of the guard.
Looking at Qi Yuqiong on the city wall, Qi Luoge took the bow from Zhai Rongguang.
Seeing Qi Luo Ge bending his bow and setting up an arrow, Ye Ruoshui knew what Qi Luo Ge was going to do. She took two steps forward and came to Qi Luo Ge's side and said, "I'll do it." When Ye Ruo Shui said this, Something strange flashed in Shui's heart. Qi Yuqiong's appearance suddenly made Qi Luoge a little panicked. However, Ye Ruoshui was relieved that Qi Luoge did not choose to retreat because Qi Yuqiong was trapped.
Glancing at Ye Ruoshui, Qi Luoge shook her head and said nothing. After lowering her head and holding the arrow tail, Qi Luoge raised her left hand and raised her bow. Snow fell on her long eyelashes.
The bowstring swayed lightly, and the arrows whizzed out, drawing an arc in the thousands of snowflakes.
The snowflakes falling on the eyelashes melted into water and flowed down Qi Luoge's cheeks.
There was a faint cry in the air, which was the last cry Qiluo Ge heard.
??Sister.
Taking two steps forward, Qi Luoge stood in front of everyone. No one could see her expression clearly. All they could see was her lonely back, and the back on the city wall that had stopped shouting.
The soldiers stained the city wall with blood, the snow kept falling, and many people closed their eyes quietly forever on this cold winter night.
The war lasted until midnight, and the torches lit everywhere finally drove away some of the cold air. Looking at the soldiers who kept moving the bodies of their companions back from the city wall, Ye Ruoshui frowned tightly. Lu Zhenyu also had a serious look on his face as he listened to Zhai Rongguang talking about the number of casualties.
"Ning Guo's army plus Qi Luoge's army have lost more than half of their siege. Now there are less than 80,000 people who can fight, and there are more than 10,000 wounded." Lu Zhenyu came to Ye Ruoshui's side and said softly , "The food and grass can still last for half a month."
"Is there any news from Mangguo?" Ye Ruoshui nodded and asked.
"There is no news yet." Lu Zhenyu shook his head, "I plan to let Rong Guang find them."
"Let's meet at one place?" Ye Ruoshui asked softly after hearing Lu Zhenyu's words.
"Before, Mo Xiao said he had brought 100,000 people with him. If we don't join forces with them with our current number, I'm afraid there won't be many left in the next siege."
"How many defenders are there in Lihuo City?" Ye Ruoshui said, looking at the city wall under the dark night.
"The 300,000 defenders have transferred 50,000. Most of the people killed by the Yan army during the siege were young men. Counting Mo Xiao's side, there are at least 150,000 defenders and 300,000 young men in the city." At this time, Lu Zhenyu's voice was very calm, "We can also take the second route, retreat first and then capture some strong men, recharge our batteries, and attack the city after the beginning of spring."
"Will Lu Tianxing give us a chance?" Ye Ruoshui asked back.
"He will not leave the Fire City." Lu Zhenyu said confidently, "So there is no need to worry about their pursuit."
¡°Should we go to the north, or should Mo Xiao lead people around Lihuo City to join us?¡±
"It's best if they come here. After all, we can retreat, defend or attack." Lu Zhenyu said and glanced at the north, "Mo Xiao may not agree."
"If we don't agree, let's attack each other." Ye Ruoshui said with a trace of frost on his face, "The south of Lihuo City is all the land of the Yan Kingdom. There are so many cities. If they are allowed to enter and exit, the consequences will be disastrous."
"I think so too." Lu Zhenyu nodded, and after speaking, he greeted Zhai Rongguang who was not far away, "I'll tell Rongguang what we mean and let him tell Mo Xiao. As for Mo Xiao's plans, he needs to wait for Rongguang. We won¡¯t know until we come back.¡±
Ye Ruoshui hummed softly, and Zhai Rongguang came to the side of the two of them. Lu Zhenyu whispered to Zhai Rongguang. When Lu Zhenyu finished speaking, Zhai Rongguang nodded and went to Li Huocheng.Walk in the ?? direction.
No one of the guards on Lihuo City noticed Zhai Rongguang's arrival, but Zhai Rongguang did not dare to reveal his identity. If he was discovered by the guards, he would be besieged. Although Zhai Rongguang was not afraid of any soldier, If there are too many people, Zhai Rongguang will be trapped to death if he fails to escape. After crossing the city wall, Zhai Rongguang rushed directly to the people of the north city. It was already half an hour after he arrived outside the city gate.
He and Ye Ruoshui agreed on a time to attack the city at the same time, because there were not as many defenders on the north city gate as there were on the south city gate, and the Mang Kingdom's cavalry were much braver than the armies of Ning Kingdom and Tianshui Kingdom. When Zhai Rongguang arrived, At the north gate, Mangguo had just retreated, and new Yan troops were added to the city gate.
Zhai Rongguang's figure disappeared from the city wall in a flash, landed outside the city wall, and then walked towards the Mangguo military camp.
After encountering soldiers blocking the siege and telling the soldier leader that he wanted to see Mo Xiao, Zhai Rongguang waited outside the military camp from a distance. Soon Mo Xiao sent a message and asked people to lead Zhai Rongguang into the big tent. Zhai Rongguang turned his eyes slightly and took a general look at the situation in the tent. In addition to Mo Xiao and Hulun Qinghan, there were several general-looking people. To Zhai Rongguang's surprise, there were several other people, one of whom was the leader. It turned out to be Du Linlou.
Why is Du Linlou here now?
Su Qin led his troops to leave Qingyun City. On his way back, Du Linlou met Qian Duoduo Lu Renjia and his party, so they returned together. Just when the Mangguo army arrived at the north gate of Lihuo City, Du Linlou and others had just arrived. When Mo Xiao arrived, he ordered people to attack the city, and Du Linlou watched quietly. Previously in Qingyun City, Du Linlou and Su Qin were together, so they naturally offended Hulun Qinghan. In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Du Linlou He could leave, but he knew that if he left, Qian Duoduo and others might be killed by Mo Xiao, so he stayed.
Seeing Hulun Qinghan looking at him with hostility in his eyes, Du Linlouhun didn't care and kept eating the food prepared by Mo Xiaoming. Qian Duoduo and Lu Renjia both looked inside the tent. The atmosphere was wrong. Although Du Linlou did not give them much explanation, Qian Duoduo and Lu Renjia knew what the problem was after thinking about it for a while. Su Qin occupied Qingyun City, Mang Guo led his troops to attack, and Du Linjia Lou just came back from Qingyun City, is there no problem?
Turning his head to look at the Sutu family and his own family, Lu Renjia had a bitter look on his face, wondering if he was going to die here today?
At this moment, Zhai Rongguang walked in.
"You're here just in time." Mo Xiao said and ordered people to prepare tables and chairs for Zhai Rongguang, but Zhai Rongguang delayed, "Commander, please take a step to speak."
After looking at Du Linlou, Mo Xiao then looked at Hulun Qinghan, nodded and said something, and then followed Zhai Rongguang out of the tent.
"Is there no one coming to Lingxiu Mountain this time?" Seeing Mo Xiao and Zhai Rongguang going out together, Du Linlou drank a glass of wine and looked at Hulun Qinghan and asked.
"Aren't you afraid that I would poison the wine?" Hulun Qinghan did not answer Du Linlou's words, but asked instead.
"It's so troublesome to kill me." Du Linlou chuckled, "The battle in Qingyun City is a grudge between me and you, it has nothing to do with them. If you want to fight with me, I will accompany you at any time." As he spoke, Du Linlou looked away from Qian Duoduo and others, and fell on the snow outside.
The corpses of Mang soldiers were piled up, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
"Do you think you can still leave? We can have a tie. Do you know how many people came to Lingxiu Mountain this time?" Hulun Qinghan said with a slightly cold face, "I am very curious, why don't you leave with Su Qin? , what are you doing here?¡±
"You can see different scenery by taking different roads." Du Linlou smiled slightly and said, "I'm going out for a while." After saying this, Du Linlou stood up and walked out of the tent.
Watching Du Linlou walk away, for some unknown reason, Hulun Qinghan did not get up, but stared at the wine glass in front of him in a daze.
After listening to the conversation between Du Linlou and Hulun Qinghan, Qian Duoduo was no longer interested in eating at this moment. He frowned with regret, and Lu Renjia on the side also returned to his wife and children at this time, quietly Waiting for something quietly.
After a while, Du Linlou returned to the tent, followed by Zhai Rongguang and Mo Xiao. He glanced at Hulun Qinghan. Du Linlou turned to Qian Duoduo and others and said, "Let him leave and go around." You will be safe once you pass through Lihuo City."
"What about you?" Hearing Du Linlou's words, Qian Duoduo felt a little surprised, but he had been taken care of by Du Linlou all the way, so he asked aloud.
"I have some things to do when I stay." Du Linlou explained briefly, and then said impatiently, "Leave quickly."
"You come with me." Although I don't know?What happened before, but Zhai Rongguang had already heard some overtones from the tone of Du Linlou's words to him just now. Knowing that this was not the time to say goodbye, he said to Qian Duoduo and others, come with me. .
Qian Duoduo and others followed Zhai Rongguang and walked around towards the west gate of Lihuo City.
After walking a few dozen feet, Qian Duoduo looked back and saw Du Linlou standing on the snow with a sword in his hand. There were four old men in black around him.
¡°Silly guy, run, they may not be able to catch you.¡±
But Du Linlou didn't run away.
He clenched the knife in his hand, as if the Waning Moon Scimitar was his world.
¡° Then Du Linlou took a look at Lihuo City. He knew that Qi Luoge was in the south of the city and he was in the north.
One south and one north, once in a lifetime.
