Ningyuan City, inside the production workshop.

"cough…"

Fang Yuanxi was curled up and leaning against the wall, with a dirty pretty face, white lips, sweat on his forehead, and coughing sounds from time to time.

She's ill.

"Girl..."

The old master touched her forehead. It was hot and burning very badly.

Fang Yuanxi, who was a little confused, shook his head slightly at the kind old master, indicating that he was ready to be fine.

The old master sighed with regret. If he fell ill here, he would only die.

The next morning, Fang Yuanxi was so weak that she struggled to get up. She couldn't even stutter, so she was rushed by the Huns to make arrows. As a result, she kept coughing and couldn't make ten arrows for an hour. Finally, she was The Hun soldier who was supervising found out and kicked her to the ground. He waved his hand and said, "She is sick. Take her to the city gate to be used as a human shield."

Immediately, two Hun soldiers picked up Fang Yuanxi and carried her out of the workshop. Seeing this scene, the old master and others could only sigh with regret. No one could save Fang Yuanxi.

"The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is coming..."

At noon, at the gate of Ningyuan City, on the open ground, the 50-strong army of the Zhou Dynasty came in force. The leader of the army was Zhou Jingyu, and a man named Fei Tiancheng, who was in his sixties under the command of the King of Nanzhen. The general is in charge.

"God bless, the Zhou army will save us..."

At the gate of Ningyuan City, the refugees who had been captured as slaves looked at the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty coming in large numbers below. Their faces were full of excitement and they knelt on the ground to worship.

"Work for me, hurry up..."

Seeing these refugees kneeling and worshiping the Zhou Dynasty troops outside, the Huns soldiers waved their long swords and shouted angrily.

At this moment, Fang Yuanxi and other weak refugee slaves were also caught on the city wall. When she saw the rows of Zhou Dynasty troops marching in neatly outside, Fang Yuanxi's pretty face was excited, and her phoenix eyes Staring at the army 500 meters away, the general in golden armor opened his white lips slightly and made a weak sound, as if to say: "Your Highness, is that you..."

"stop!"

General Fei Tiancheng next to Zhou Jingyu raised his hand, and the 50-strong army immediately stopped 300 meters away from the Ningyuan City Gate, which was a safe distance beyond the effective range of the Huns' bows and arrows.

"Go down with the order and prepare to attack the city!"

Zhou Jingyu, the deputy general of General Fei Tiancheng, shouted angrily.

Suddenly, on the army behind, the siege soldiers were seen rolling out large equipment such as rams, catapults, ladders, and crossing equipment.

"Defense troops form up and advance!"

General Fei Tiancheng took the lead, and immediately rows of defensive soldiers holding shields ran out to block the front, while covering the brigade and starting the attack.

"Archery..."

At the city gate, a Hun general glared and gave an order. A row of archers stood at the city gate and immediately fired waves of arrows at the advancing Zhou Dynasty troops below...

what…

Screams came from the defending soldiers. Some people fell down after being hit by arrows, but soon a substitute came up and started to defend with a shield.

call…

boom…

The catapults that had been set up threw stones one after another, hitting Ningyuan City like cannonballs. A Hun soldier was thrown away by the stones on the spot, and his chest was smashed.

The bricks of the smashed city wall flew up, frightening Fang Yuanxi and the slave refugees behind. They all huddled together, excited and scared. They were excited that the army of the Zhou Dynasty finally went north to rescue them, but they were also afraid of being attacked. Stoned to death…

"put!"

At the bow and arrow range, the archers of the Zhou Dynasty also shot a wave of arrows towards the city wall.

Immediately, I saw countless Xiongnu soldiers tumbling down from the city wall, and there were even large bows and arrows. The arrows were shot directly with spears, and the city wall could not stop them. It was like nails, nailed to the city wall.

"what…"

After several screams, several refugees around Fang Yuanxi were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. This frightened the others and made them panic and run towards the city gate...

At this time, the Huns soldiers were too busy, and few could stop them. As a result, Fang Yuanxi was stopped by the Huns soldiers as soon as he came down from the city gate. When he saw some people running, he stabbed them one by one, which shocked Fang Yuanxi and the others.

"General, we can't stand it anymore."

On the city wall, the Xiongnu generals were afraid. Now there were only [-] Xiongnu left guarding Ningyuan City.

They had fought twice with the Zhou Dynasty army in Zhongnan City before, losing more than [-] people.

Although the Zhou dynasty suffered similar casualties, they continued to recruit young refugees who had fled south into the army.

And these refugees, because the Huns slaughtered their relatives, burned, killed and looted their homes, they hated the Huns so much that they instantly awakened the bloody nature in their hearts and became soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty. They were all ferocious and not afraid of death.

Therefore, in these battles, the Huns discovered to their surprise that although the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were not very powerful in combat, they were not afraid of death. They charged with their physical bodies and fought on par with the Huns soldiers.

On the contrary, the Xiongnu soldiers here may be inflated because they occupied most of the land of the Zhou Dynasty in a short period of time. In addition, they are greedy for pleasure. Now that the Zhou Dynasty resists, they are beaten to pieces just like the previous Zhou Dynasty. Defeated.

The real reason why the Huns continue to retreat is because there are fewer Huns soldiers now.

"Let's retreat and go back to the city behind to defend."

These Xiongnu generals looked at the armies of the Zhou Dynasty below, especially the army of King Nanzhen. Since they have been fighting against the Nanmanzi all year round, their combat power is very fierce. In addition, Fei Tiancheng is good at setting up formations and is attacking the city. Under this, the city was captured with minimal casualties.

"Let's go, take all the refugees and slaves out, block them for us, and give us time to retreat." The Xiongnu general knew that with the number of people they had now, they simply couldn't stand Ningyuan City, so they simply retreated to the city behind. .

The general took the order and immediately ran to the inner city wall and shouted to the people below: "Give these refugee slaves weapons and let them go out and charge."

"Yes."

The Hun generals below nodded and immediately distributed weapons to thousands of refugees and slaves like Fang Yuanxi. They also knew what these Hun soldiers wanted to do.

"No, we cannot let them control us. Our army will kill us..."

Some people resisted, but a Hun soldier drew his sword and killed him. He pointed at Fang Yuanxi and the others and shouted: "If you dare to retreat, the city wall will shoot arrows to kill you..."

Now everyone was shocked. It was death to advance and death to retreat.

"Open the city gates and drive them out..."

With a shout, as the city gate opened, Fang Yuanxi and other refugee slaves were driven out. Everyone was full of fear and fear, trembling with swords in their hands, and kept shouting to the Zhou Dynasty troops in the distance: " We are the people of Zhou Dynasty, don’t shoot arrows to kill us..."

"Stop, stop quickly..."

Seeing this, Zhou Jingyu and the others shouted, and the archers stopped immediately, as did the advancing soldiers.

"Your Highness..."

Fang Yuanxi, who was in the crowd, looked at the man a hundred meters away, riding a war horse and wearing a mighty golden armor. It was the Eighth Prince Zhou Jingyu that he was looking for.

But Zhou Jingyu didn't see Yuanxi among the refugee slaves who were pushed out by the Huns soldiers and gathered at the city gate.

Because he never thought that Fang Yuanxi would appear here, thinking that she was still in a small mountain village in the snow forest in the north.
