I was a prince in ancient times

While the two were talking, they heard panicked footsteps and the clash of armor from the street outside the house.

Before anyone could react, the horns on the city wall sounded one after another.

The voice was deep and solemn, like complaining like weeping, like a dark cloud suddenly enveloped the sky of Yicheng, making people breathless immediately.

The people who lived in the city in panic all day long put down all the work in their hands at this time, their eyes were dull and loose, and they stayed where they were, as if they had been suddenly drained of energy.

Even the obedient servants in the house forgot the orders of the masters at this time, stopped one after another, and stared blankly in the direction of the city gate.

His eyes were full of dead silence.

The sound of the galloping cavalry of war horses knocked on the chest of the man, getting closer and closer.

From the ground shaking at the beginning, the doors and windows began to tremble.

The army of the Grassland Department is under pressure.

The fear of death spread to the whole city in an instant.

No one in the city believed that this battle could be won, including the soldiers in armor.

Marquis Weiyuan had already put on his armor and climbed up the city wall when the scouts came back to report, silently waiting for the upcoming battle.

The entire army of the Grasslands suppressed the border, which proved that the ambush army he had prepared earlier was completely wiped out.

"Alas..." Fu Zheng rubbed the handle of the big knife hanging on his waist, looked quietly at the place where the enemy army came, and sighed softly.

One defeat after another, and in the end there is no one to lose.

Fighting depends on morale, and now [-]% of morale has gone down, and he still doesn't know if the remaining [-]% ​​can hold Yicheng.

Perhaps, his fate has to be explained here today.

Fu Zheng turned his head and glanced at Dacheng, which was no longer alive, his eyes gradually changed from reluctance to determination.

Death is not terrible for a soldier, and the shroud of horse leather is his glory.

The only regret is that once he falls, this city will be reduced to purgatory like the previous ones.

No matter what, this battle must be fought!

Huo Sen broke into the mansion panting. He came to ask Xie Anlan for a saddle. At this time, he couldn't care less about etiquette.

As soon as Xie Anlan caught his gaze, she immediately reacted, led Huo Sen to the next house, and handed over 100 pairs of saddles made these days to Huo Sen.

"General Huo, triumph!"

Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and only two words came out in the end.

"Triumph!" Huo Sen said to Xie Anlan while directing his subordinates to move the saddle, "My lord, if the army is defeated, please flee out of the city with the guards."

"Okay." Xie Anlan didn't object. At such an emergency, as a layman, it's best for him to obey the command and not point fingers, so as not to delay the battle.

"It's good that the prince understands." In the end, Huo Sen clasped his fists at Xie Anlan, got on the horse, and rushed to his battlefield without any fear of death.

"Take care of yourself!"

With the sound of horseshoes, it was different from the usual two words of farewell, which made people feel a little sad for no reason.

When Huo Sen brought the saddle to the cavalry battalion, they were gathering and did not dare to distribute the saddle by mistake.

Wang Laosan still owed a beating as usual, "General Huo's visit is not a coincidence, today's situation is urgent, we can't bring money to the battlefield, the money will be given to you when we survive."

Huo Sen kicked his horse's hoof lightly, and cursed, "You rascal, you have calculated and waited to cheat me for money, no way, remember to come back alive and pay, otherwise don't blame me for blocking you when you die down here. money."

"Don't worry, I won't die, big deal bro, I will devote myself to a wealthy family in my next life and pay you back twice." Wang Laosan was mean and unserious.

"Fuck you, who cares about your two taels of silver." Huo Sen cursed with a smile, and went back to his barracks without further delay.

The cavalrymen were already familiar with the saddle, except for the generals who saw it at Huo Sen's welcome banquet that day, none of them had seen it, and only heard it from the mouths of their respective generals.

However, it is only heard.

One tael of silver is just to buy a comfortable cushion, it is completely unnecessary.

With this money, it is serious to prepare more food for the wife and children at home.

This world is in chaos, and there is food to survive.

As for whether they are comfortable or not, no one cares. Anyway, after a war, they don't know if they are still there.

So despite the rhetoric of the generals, very few people ended up buying saddles.

Huo Sen returned to the barracks, and immediately scattered the three thousand soldiers under his command to every corner of the city wall.

Don't look at the 3000 people who are hidden on the city wall without even a splash.

The enemy army on the opposite side has approached the city for less than twenty miles.

They didn't come rushing to fight, but stopped in place and started cooking.

This is a tactic commonly used by people in the grasslands. First, I will give you a period of time to think about whether to surrender or resist.

Those who surrender will not be killed, but resist the massacre.

The people in the city couldn't bear the temptation of not killing the surrender, so they would kneel down to the army and beg for surrender.

If the army does not surrender, they will rise up and kill people like madmen.

If the army is exhausted before it is defeated, the people in the grassland department will be in every direction.

Of course, Fu Zheng has also learned to be smart now. Before each battle, he will assign a group of people to control the various residential streets, so that they cannot gather crowds to make trouble.

They are all ordinary people, as long as they don't get together, they won't be able to achieve anything.

The war will not kill one less person because of the momentary compassion of the grassland department.

Those people who surrendered before being defeated are now slaves of the grassland department, eating the least food and doing the most tiring work, and the women at home have to provide for them to have fun at any time. They have no civilization, only tyranny, let the people of Dayong live It doesn't even have the dignity of a dog.

After eating and drinking, the army of the Grassland Department could not help but feel a little disappointed when they saw the peace in Yicheng, but then turned to contemptuously and said, "Even if Fu Zheng is more clever than the previous generals, he is still mine." His defeated general, he lost again and again, lost two or three cities, and his morale has long been sluggish, boys today we can take them down with only [-]% of our strength!"

"Take it! Take it! Take it!"

All the soldiers of the Grassland Department shouted excitedly with high fighting spirit and high morale.

For a moment, the high-pitched voice spread into the city with the wind, like a sharp knife piercing into the hearts of every Yong people, making them more afraid of death.

"Kill kill kill!"

The Dayong soldiers knew that their morale was inferior to their opponents, but they were not timid. They all shouted loudly with all their strength, showing their will to die rather than surrender.

"Struggling to death, vulnerable." The leader's third son, Meng Hedo, who led the troops of the Grassland Department this time, snorted when he heard the voice. After many battles with Fu Zheng, he had already understood that he was a paper tiger and had no delay. Sooner or later, Dayong will be in the pocket of their grassland department.

"Boys, attack the city!"

Thinking of the vast and fertile territory of Dayong, it will soon belong to their grassland department, and he, Meng Heduo, is the one who contributed the most to this land. After his father dies, he will be the owner of this land, and his chest is hot , can't wait to realize this dream immediately.

Following his order, thousands of prairie soldiers rushed out from behind, screaming and running towards the base of the city wall.

"Fire arrows!"

Fu Zheng looked at the people rushing down the city wall at the front, the former subjects of Dayong, and now the siege slaves of the Grassland Department, without any kindness in their eyes, and gave orders in cold blood.

Immediately, thousands of arrows were fired on the city wall, and a black rain of arrows fell. The first to suffer were the siege slaves in front who did not have any armor guards.

Cold and sharp arrows pierced through their bodies, and pools of blood gushed out, soon staining the land under the city wall red, matching the morning glow in the sky, hope and despair intertwined.

Those who attacked the city behind continued to rush forward, and those who were not dead in front had to continue to move forward, and those who were wounded and still alive had to crawl forward panting, unable to crawl, waiting for their fate to be killed by the people behind. People are trampled to death.

The rain of arrows kept falling, and the sound of shouting and fighting was getting closer and closer like a tsunami and avalanche. Even Xie Anlan who was in the city couldn't help holding his hands nervously.

As a modern person, this is the first time he has personally experienced the real version of the battlefield. Even if he did not climb the city wall to see it with his own eyes, he can imagine how fierce the battle outside is just by hearing the deafening sound of fighting .

"Your Highness, don't be afraid." Lu Chengjie dressed in white and squatted in front of Xie Anlan's knees. With his cold and slender hands, he covered one of Xie Anlan's ears with one hand, and held Xie Anlan's tightly clenched hands with the other, comforting him .

Xie Anlan forced a smile, trying to keep her ears from listening to the tragic voices outside, she held Lu Chengjie's cold hand behind her back, and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid." Lu Chengjiao's eyes were firmer than ever. His family members died at the hands of grassland tribesmen. If he died too, he would be able to reunite with his family.

It's just hateful that I didn't see the day when the grasslands were extinct.

Xie Anlan saw through Lu Chengjiao's thoughts, and disagreed, "I haven't even taken you to see the great rivers and mountains of the Yong Dynasty. Nothing will happen."

Now the entire mansion is surrounded by his guards densely, if the city breaks, these people will swear to protect him out of the city.

Coupled with the gun|powder in Huo Sen's hand, it is not certain who will win the deer.

Thinking of this, Xie Anlan's heart calmed down a little.

Crackling, with the sound of cracking charcoal fire, the low-pitched bullhorn made its low-pitched sound again, and the mournful sound pierced the battlefield and passed to everyone's ears.

This is the signal for the enemy to start climbing the city.

"Golden juice."

Fu Zheng commanded calmly, buckets of heated dung water were lifted up the city wall, and then poured down continuously.

Many enemy soldiers were scalded to death, but this still couldn't stop their desire to climb the city.

A wooden ladder was built on the city wall, and the enemy soldiers seemed to be desperately climbing up, and they were about to attack the city wall.

The cavalry, who had waited impatiently in the city for a long time, were eager to try and prepare to kill as soon as the city gate was broken.

"boom--"

At this moment, a loud noise came from nowhere, shaking the entire battlefield directly.

"What's the sound?" Fu Zheng made a slight gesture, and immediately he saw a certain place among the densely packed enemy army, where the flames were soaring into the sky, and when the explosion flew sand and rocks, dozens of enemy soldiers were taken away directly.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

Just as Fu Zheng was slightly stunned, there were several more such voices from under the city wall.

The cavalry gathered at the city gate comforted their horses in fear, and the people in the city began to stir.
