readx;? Emperor Xiyue's fingers holding the porcelain cup tightened, and Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a line:

"Then we have to check it carefully, these ordnance can't fall into the hands of the barbarians, and let them persecute the safety of our Daqian Dynasty in turn, then it will be bad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The two sat quietly in the living room for half an hour, from south to north, telling that the topics discussed seemed to be unrelated, but just like when Emperor Yunxiao first met Emperor Xiyue, it was difficult to find the antelope hanging horns.

In a short period of time, the two clashed no less than ten times, and finally Emperor Xiyue took a deep look at Emperor Yunxiao, and there was a little more indescribable loneliness and jealousy in her eyes.

After all, his nephew soared into the sky, the three emperor brothers went out, and the world was in turmoil. There was a lot of quarrel in the court, and His Majesty the Emperor was not even in the early court now, and only handed over to the crown prince to supervise the country to deal with the government affairs caused countless speculations.

Under the temptation of three or two times, Emperor Xiyue can be sure that the little prince is still the original little prince, and he is not pretended by the little monk, so where is the monk Mingyuan who entered the villa that day?

The corners of Emperor Yunxiao's mouth twitched, revealing a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and finally added a sentence when Emperor Xiyue got up to say goodbye.

"True and false, sometimes false and true, some things, what you have always seen are inevitably true, and what you believe is false may also be true, Imperial Aunt, do you say yes?"

The eyes of Emperor Ji, who turned around and was about to leave, instantly contracted and said that the tip of the needle, her body seemed to be frozen, and she relaxed after a while, and glanced at Emperor Yunxiao, who lowered her head and tasted tea, with some fear.

The far-fetched voice was mixed with a hint of jealousy, and Emperor Xiyue smiled: "Yes, Xiao'er is right." Auntie, after today's banquet, I planned to leave Qingtan County, and now that the barbarian called, I was a little trembling. ”

Emperor Xiyue left, and went directly back to his backyard with two wrestlers, and the banquet was heard to be hastily dispersed, and the news came that night that two servants who were blinded were killed with rods.

The coldness in Emperor Yunxiao's eyes flashed away, and if it was really this imperial aunt who was guessing whether she was stiff or not, the little prince was seriously ill and dying, and it was not an uncommon thing for these emperors and nobles.

A few days ago, he disappeared after meeting with the little prince, which caused the reverie of this scheming imperial aunt, which was inevitable, but unfortunately he coexisted with the little prince with three souls and seven spirits, and there would be no flaws.

Since the Xiyue Emperor left the palace, hundreds of hundreds of warriors have been added, and the defense is so strict that not even a fly can fly in.

With more and more reports of the war situation, Yuantian Mansion and even the entire Qingtan County began to panic all day long, and many people with some family assets were already planning to abandon the real estate in Fucheng and prepare to relocate.

As for the poor people whose belongings are on the one-third of an acre of land in Yuantianfu, they can only burn incense and worship the Buddha at home, praying that the sky will be conspicuous and that the border army of the Daqian Empire can drive out the barbarians.

This anxious atmosphere has affected the surrounding counties, and the governors of the major counties have handed over excerpts to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to allow the county to send an additional army to snipe the gray barbarians.

On the city wall of Heye Town, Qingtan County, thousands of archers are waiting for the battle, the city gate is closed, and dozens of boulders block the original city gate, if you want to break through the city gate, it is only possible to smash the boulder.

The four-zhang high city wall overlooked, and there were a group of wild men wearing beast robes and holding maces in black pressure, and the number of horrors was incalculable.

"Lord Guard, now that these barbarians have abandoned Shuishan Town and turned to attack our Lotus Leaf Town, it's a big trouble!" the city guard carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, trying his best to hide the fear in his heart.

The news of the arrival of the Grey Barbarian army had already spread, and the gates of various places were only open at seven o'clock in the morning and closed at five o'clock in the afternoon, in order to prevent the Gray Barbarians from taking advantage of the night to sneak attack.

In the early hours of this morning, when the sky was just gray, the city guards in charge of the night patrol found a large pile of firewood burning ashes and many horseshoe prints dozens of miles away from the city gate.

The giant horseshoe prints that appeared again and again made people tremble, these war horses were definitely not left by the cavalry of the Great Qian Dynasty, just the diameter of the horse's steps and the obvious depth of the hoof prints already showed how huge the weight of the owner of the war horse was.

Among the sergeants on patrol was an old catcher who was good at speculation, and after measuring and inferring, it was confirmed that the breed of the war horse should be Fire Rome, a giant war horse weighing 400 kilograms, 3.5 meters long, and nearly 2.3 meters high.

As for the owner of the war horse, it should be a giant man who matches it, more than two meters tall and weighs about two hundred and fifty pounds, and only this kind of physique can control the fierce temperament of Fire Rome.

One or two unusual horseshoe prints don't mean anything, but when they appear in groups, there is only one possibility, and the gray barbarians have appeared in the sphere of influence of Lotus Leaf Town.

When this conclusion was reached, the old catcher and the patrol guard were so frightened that they ran and crawled back to the city, and woke up all the sleeping infantry brigades in the city overnight.

That night, thousands of people were in a daze on the city gate tower for a night, when countless torches were lit, the black pressure was overwhelming, and the terrifying pressure of a black cloud pressing down on the city made people despair.

He Shaoqing, the town guard of Lotus Leaf Town, is an official of the army, and he was originally a man who fought on the battlefield, facing tens of thousands of gray barbarians, without the slightest cowardice, and supervised the battle on the city gate tower for a night.

"It's okay, I've already let people release carrier pigeons, now Fucheng should have received the news, as long as we can hold out for two days, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Fucheng will arrive!"

He Shaoqing glanced at the city guards under his command, his face remained unchanged, but he didn't like this guy who was a vegetarian in the corpse.

At this time, instead of encouraging the sergeants, he kept chattering about how terrible these barbarians were outside, and how incompetent such demoralizing words came from the mouth of a general leading the troops.

The hundreds of thousands of people in the town were terrified, and the only thing they could do in the face of the horrific act of the barbarians slaughtering the city was to serve tea and pour water, and fire and cook for the soldiers at the city gate, so that the soldiers would not go hungry.

The people can still overcome their fears and do what they can, as the military officials of the big town, shouldn't they do their best, even if they die in battle, to protect the hundreds of people behind them?

Holding the rich money distributed by the imperial court, enjoying the incense that the people below have worked hard to worship, if he doesn't even do anything, then he He Shaoqing would rather go back to his hometown to farm, than endure the inner torment here.

"Lord Guard, the barbarians from the north divided five hundred men to try to attack, and were beaten back by the brethren with stones and longbows, and nearly half of them died, but the brethren were wounded by the hunting bows of a dozen of them. Those barbarians are so powerful that even if they are inferior bows, one arrow will directly destroy the arms of those brothers. ”

The captain's face was red, sweat was dripping from his forehead, a spear in his left hand was stained with blood, and his right hand threw the broken bow and arrow on the ground.

He Shaoqing ignored the identity of the guard, picked up the inferior short bow on the ground, and frowned after looking at it carefully.

He has been dealing with barbarians on the frontier for more than 20 years, and he knows the character and habits of barbarians, usually in a day or two, these barbarians will rush into the city as a whole, without giving the opponent a chance.

The violent siege rhythm coupled with the terrifying war drums was enough to destroy the psychological defense of the vast majority of recruits, which was why Qingyun was taken in a short period of time.

But today's barbarian behavior is a little abnormal, not only knows how to test the weakest defense of the northern city, after losing hundreds of adult soldiers, he surprisingly did not go berserk.

After reestimating the number of these barbarians, He Shaoqing's eyebrows tightened, according to the field of vision, these barbarians did not exceed 20,000 at most.

Although there were a lot of tents in the back, there was no smoke from the fire, and it was obviously an empty camp, which meant that these were all disguises, and only one-third of the original army of nearly 60,000 people remained, and the rest all disappeared.

After pondering for a moment, He Shaoqing suddenly changed color:

"Fucheng! Damn, the target of those barbarians is not us, the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, their target is Fucheng, quickly, immediately release the carrier pigeons, and the barbarians of the brigade will kill Fucheng. ”

He Shaoqing is a wise general, and he immediately noticed the barbarian's attempt, and when he wanted to quickly notify Fucheng, he noticed that the barbarians in the brigade actually began to close the camp and planned to pull out.

"Damn it!"

He Shaoqing smashed the short bow in his hand to the ground, and the barbarian pulled it out meant that the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain was successful, and there was no need to camp here.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

The deafening sound of war drums remembered that thousands of barbarian cavalry rode on fire Rome, and turned the official road in a uniform manner, and the barbarian Baturu led by him glanced at the city gate building with contempt, and with a wave of his hand, thousands of people rode and shot at the city gate.

Brush!

Looking at the arrows in the sky, the sergeants at the city gate could only raise their shields, they could not fight back, the distance of three hundred paces was not difficult for the barbarians, but for them, the border troops, it was too far.

"Bastard, gather the town army, take the eight slashing spears of the town guard, the city is in danger, but there are soldiers who are willing to fight with the town guard to rescue the city. ”

Thousands of soldiers above and below the city gate looked at each other, in their opinion, it would be a good thing that the barbarians did not come to slaughter them, could it be that they would have to come together and send them to death?

In the end, half a day later, only a few hundred elite horsemen were willing to follow He Shaoqing to the rescue of the city, looking at the hundreds of people who had disappeared from the smoke and dust, there was only death-like silence on the city gate.

It's not that they don't want to fight, it's that these years of stability have worn away the bloody spirit on their bodies, and they can calmly defend the city, and they are quite brave without being a deserter.

The scene of the blood flowing in Qingyun Town, and the piles of corpses of the people and border troops was spread by countless people who fled.

He Shaoqing took the lead and galloped wildly on the official road, it was he who released carrier pigeons to ask for help, and the army of Fucheng was inseparable from him.
