Chapter 016: Enemy Siege
Chu Chengxiao crossed three black lines in front of his forehead, how could he not know that there was this rumor in the barracks, and when did he press Duoduo down on the bed, could it be last time... This Shen Quan and Yan Hui, but it seems that this kid Chengxiao doesn't know that Duoduo is a woman pretending to be a man.
"Third brother, are you talking?" Chu Chengxiao couldn't accept the fact that his third brother was a broken sleeve, and he couldn't accept Duoduo too, he didn't dare to admit that he also liked Duoduo, and he didn't dare to face the deepest thoughts in his heart, just because Duoduo was his brother, so he couldn't accept it.
"You'll understand then." Maybe it was selfishness, Chu Chengde didn't plan to tell Chu Chengxiao that he was a man pretending to be a woman.
By the time Xia Ye woke up, it was already dark, and Chu Chengde told her that the enemy army was now besieging the city, and she didn't know if the remaining military resources could last until General Xianji came.
Xia Ye stood outside wrapped in a cloak and looked at the dark sky without a single star, as if it was going to rain, maybe this is the so-called quiet before the storm comes.
Sleepless all night, the enemy army began to attack the city early in the morning, the enemy shot into the city with arrows tied to oil and fire, the soldiers had not eaten for a day, only relying on the nervous mood to fight, looking at the dead soldiers one by one, Xia Ye was already numb, it turned out that human life was so cheap in the war years, just like ants on the ground.
Chu Chengde led people to resist the enemy on the city wall, and he asked Chu Chengxiao to stay and protect her, it's really funny, does one man protect another man?
Xia Ye could see that Chu Chengxiao couldn't bear to stay in the room: "Fourth prince, I also want to resist the enemy on the city wall." ”
"What are you kidding, you don't know martial arts, and besides, your body is just right, you have to stay here." Although Chu Chengxiao said this, Xia Ye could see that his heart had already flown out: "Won't I hide in the city wall and not move, didn't we two big men say that we would go into battle together to kill the enemy and be comrades in the same trench?" ”
"That's not going to work, the sword has no eyes." Seeing Chu Chengxiao's resolute attitude, Xia Ye had no choice but to run out of the house and towards the city wall.
"Toto... Duoduo..."Chu Chengxiao used his sword to block the random arrows that came in, and caught up with Xia Ye who was running around: "Duoduo, don't run around, hide behind me." ”
So the two men went up to the wall.
"Third brother." Chu Chengxiao blocked the random arrows that shot at Chu Chengde's arm.
"Why did you bring her here? Didn't I tell you not to move in the house? Chu Chengde angrily blocked the flying arrows and shouted.
"I'm coming." Xia Ye, who was squatting under the city wall, spoke: "I also want to go into battle to kill the enemy, although I don't know martial arts, but I can help you find a way." Xia Ye looked at the soldiers who fell from her and made up, don't they also don't return to martial arts, are there people at home who love them waiting for them to come back, if they can, I really hope there will never be a war.
After a while, Xia Ye felt that there were no more random arrows, raised his head and asked, "What's the matter, is there a truce?" ”
"Well, the enemy forces were temporarily repulsed." Chu Chengde squatted down and replied.
"Will there be another siege in that moment?" Xia Ye asked again.
"Yes, next time, it will be more serious than this time, because they must capture this city as soon as possible, otherwise they will not be able to capture it when our food and grass and military resources arrive." Chu Chengde put down the sword in his hand and said.
"And how long can we hold out?"
"I don't know."
Looking at the soldiers in the city who were already hungry and still fighting, Xia Ye didn't know what else she could do, the key was that their weapons were far less powerful than the Dead Country.
How can there be more weapons? Looking at the soldiers who were moving stones to the city wall, he suddenly had an idea: "There is a way." ”
"What's your idea again?" Chu Chengxiao asked curiously.
Xia Ye's face was overjoyed, and he didn't answer Chu Chengxiao's words: "The prince quickly let everyone make as many scarecrows as possible, and then put these scarecrows on soldiers' clothes." ”
Chu Chengde didn't ask much, because he believed her, and after a while, with everyone's efforts, the scarecrows were ready: "Now tie these scarecrows with ropes and slowly go down the city wall to the city." ”
All the soldiers crouched down and slowly lowered the scarecrow in their hands to the city.
"Sixth Prince, the enemy wants to escape!" Qinglong looked at the dense crowd of people on the city wall who wanted to escape.
The man, who was called the Sixth Prince, sat on a chair and trimmed his nails: "Shoot me!" ”
"Subordinates obey!"
Xia Ye and the others, who were hiding under the city wall, heard the arrow of "Boom...", and after feeling that the scarecrow was about to be shot into dice, they quickly pulled it up and threw it to the soldiers below, and then put it in another wave of scarecrows.
Xia Ye knew that they would definitely not be able to see that this was a scarecrow from such a distance, but it would not be long before someone would find out about it.
"Stop shooting!"
"What's wrong, Commander?" The golden dog put down the bow and arrow in his hand and asked.
"How dare you cheat." No wonder I shot so many arrows and didn't see anyone fall from the city wall, it turned out to be a fake! "The six princes, Jiang Guo is cheating, they use scarecrows to deceive our arrows."
Tuoba Shan sneered when he heard this: "Hmph! No matter what they do, it will only be a battle of trapped beasts, attacking the city with all their might, and this time they must take the Yanshui Pass in one fell swoop! Tuoba put down the beads in his hand, his eyes revealing sinister ambition.
Natsuba looked at the arrows taken from the scarecrow, there was a large bundle of them, and it seemed that they were enough to resist for a while.
"Why do you have so many ideas in your little head?" Chu Chengde had to ask curiously.
Xia Ye smiled proudly: "Where am I now, how dare I compare with the prince who gallops on the field." Xia Ye quipped, relieving the tension.
"Move all the stones to the city wall, and when the enemy army attacks the city, and all the shields are put on the city wall, it will be a fierce battle." Chu Chengxiao arranged the battle plan for the meeting.
"Everyone work hard, get through today, Xianji will escort the grain and grass here, and we will have something to eat!" Natsuba said to the soldiers underground.
Xia Ye and Chu Chengde looked at each other and smiled, maybe the other party felt the tacit understanding in their hearts.
Chu Chengxiao saw that they were talking and laughing, and his heart was uncomfortable, so he went down to help move things.
The second siege of the city, sure enough, it was all his strength, Xia Ye, who was squatting under the city wall, looked at the enemy soldiers who kept climbing the mountain and were smashed down by stones, and the rattling city gate that was hit by a thick wooden stake, and his body curled up together.
"Get out of here, it's not safe here." Chu Chengde kicked down an enemy soldier who climbed up and pulled Xia Ye to the city, but the city gate was knocked open, a large wave of enemy troops poured in to fight together, the city wall was also occupied by the enemy who climbed up, the soldiers in the city and the enemy troops who poured in fought together, and people kept falling, Chu Chengde and Chu Chengxiao protected her behind her, and the generals were also fighting with the enemy troops who poured in, and the city was in chaos.
