Suizhou City was defended for twelve days.
The monsters who have learned more and more sophisticated tactics from Beiyanze Border Pass are no longer limited to storming the main gate of Suizhou City. Perhaps they are the defenders of Suizhou City who have been fighting at the top of the city all day long. Even many monsters feel confused when they see it. My heart was horrified. Perhaps I had never expected that someone in this ordinary small town would be so brave, clinging to the city head without retreating even half a step. I thought that my flesh and blood body would die together with the monster, so I felt a little more fearful for a moment, or maybe because of that. The monsters suffered heavy losses, so they had no choice but to find side ways to attack the surrounding areas of the city.
The original stockpile of kerosene and pine oil at the top of the city, together with the huge rocks and rolling timber, has been exhausted. The number of defenders in the city has been reduced by half in just these twelve days. At the small holes, there were continuous spears piercing the monster's body back and forth. However, this side of Suizhou City saw that there was no more power left.
However, the reinforcements that were supposed to arrive did not arrive until the twelfth day.
And the monster suddenly changed its siege methods, which made Qi Nanxun unexpected. After all, from the time when the monster caused chaos to now, everyone in the world knows that the monster is probably not very intelligent, and has never been able to do so. He knew nothing about the formation of troops, let alone such a clever siege strategy. Moreover, the border area was only defended but not attacked. Although there were soldiers who had been under Qi Nan's patrol, they went out to the border many times. They responded, but now they are receiving punishments one after another and cannot go out of the city even half a step. From Suizhou City to the Shangqi Border Pass, the Antler Trap has been cleared of all monsters. Thousands of monsters still cover the sky and hide from the sun, surrounding such an isolated city.
Even though he was familiar with military books and had never personally led troops to participate in the Qinnan patrol where the world was full of chaos and chaos, he never expected that after the demon tide changed its formation several times, it actually overran the city defenders several times, and then struck a blow Yuan Yuan did not want to spend any more time in the city. He knew that there were many tools and means to defend the city, and there were also pine oil flying fire, rolling wood and rocks, so he just destroyed the ballista, fled into the city, and then handed over the city head. The defenders of Suizhou City always suffered heavy damage every time they attacked the weakest part of the city.
What's more, this demonic tide is the best at cutting off its food and grass. Soldiers were stationed to guard the several grain-harvesting areas closest to the south of the city. However, under several fierce attacks by the demonic tide, the soldiers and food were almost completely destroyed. First, the demon tide seems to have noticed that the number of defenders on the city head has dropped sharply, and the defense is naturally the weakest point, so they often take advantage of the early darkness and the time when the firelight on the city head is not dense to attack the weakest point in defense. The gates not only made the soldiers in the city exhausted, but also often damaged food and grass. Every time they came and went, they almost made the entire Suizhou city unsafe.
And more monsters are not looking for such a small town without much blood food, but have begun to accumulate outside Shangqi Border Pass. After all, the monsters that cross the North Yanze City have their own walking speed, and thousands of monsters are waiting for them. When the next wave of monsters came, they surrounded the border gate of Beiyanze. Although there were crossbows firing continuously on the border gate, they still failed to have much effect.
Suizhou City was defended for many days, and Qi Nanxun stood at the city head for several days. During this period, he was injured three times and five times. The most serious one was that blood gushed out from his shoulders and ribs. It was only because the army knew how to bandage and heal wounds. The man stopped the bleeding for the time being and continued to fight to the death with his troops at the top of the city. Now he had no strength left at all. He leaned against the arch of the city wall to rest, took off his scarlet silver helmet, and put his head on the battlements. For a long time, Never opened my eyes.
Being in the military all year round, everyone probably knows something about the demon tide. Although he has nothing to do and lives in Shangqi City, he has not revealed too much, but everyone knows it. The demon tide was completely It was not as ferocious as this time, and the number of monsters was far less than this. However, the entire army did not take any action during the last monster disaster. Few people knew how to resolve the monster disaster. Quanran has never been poisoned by monsters, but after guarding the city for more than ten days, the border guards remained motionless and lifeless. Even Qi's southern patrol always felt that the monsters were boundless. In time, Suizhou City was destined to be destroyed.
Fortunately, in the previous season, most of the people in Suizhou City had been driven by the soldiers in the city to take refuge at the border. There was only a handful of people who were unwilling to leave. They are still in the city. Even if Suizhou City is destroyed, I think they will come. Apart from these soldiers, there were not necessarily heavy casualties.
The gloomy monsters outside the city surround this lonely city together with the night. The border gate in the night seems to be very close at hand. Even the torches on the city head are dotted with stars. Unfortunately, most of Suizhou City is really waiting.
Reinforcements were not coming from the border. When Qi Nanxun was still a young boy, he knew that in life, people often cannot entrust the so-called victory or defeat, life and death to others, so he ignored the military orders and sent the border passers to the border. The subordinates personally brought them to this isolated city. Although they struggled to support it, facing tens of thousands of monsters, and stationed for more than ten days to block the first wave of monsters at the border, the casualties were heavy.
No one knows when this evil disaster will end.
When the morning glow is all over the sky tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be many people on the top of the city and they will no longer be able to see the sun hanging in the sky.
In front of the Prime Minister Qi's Mansion, there was a young man with a tired look, but he was wearing the official robe of a second-grade official. He lingered outside the door for a long time, but he never came to the door. He turned his hands behind his back and looked up at the Prime Minister Qi's Mansion for a long time. None of them have ever visited me.
In recent years, he is the favorite minister who has been closest to the emperor. Naturally, Mr. Xun knows that this saint has always had great ambitions. Not only Qiling, but also the natural dangers of Huayan Mountain have always been in this saint's mind. The thought has never stopped, and it is precisely at this time that the demon tide spreads in all directions in the world. The three places of Qi Dynasty and Zihao are the first to bear the brunt. It is an unprovoked disaster. However, such a disaster has been shelved for a long time. Now in Suizhou The city was strong, but there were no reinforcements coming here, which was most confusing. Unfortunately, Mr. Xun became even more taciturn when he knew about it.
"My master invited the young master to come into the house to talk about it. He said that the autumn has been cold recently. The young master is running around and busy with political affairs. He is already anxious. If the cold air enters the body again, it will delay important events."
The boy who had gone to Shangqi Border Gate with Xun Wenqu opened the door of the house wide, walked up to Mr. Xun, and said with great concern. He carried a lantern and led Mr. Xun into the house. With a surprised look in his eyes, the young master handed over the yellow lantern and gave a slight salute, "The master said that the young master has been busy in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, and he knows the way. He doesn't need anyone to lead the way. He can just go in by himself. You are of the second rank. There should be no airs when facing Prime Minister Qi."...
Giving a sweet date a slap in the face seemed to be the elder's favorite method. However, since he received such a kind word, Mr. Xun stopped fussing. He took the lantern and slapped the child on the forehead very hard. The bun was messy, and then she walked to the main hall with three steps, half touching and half touching. I can't blame Mr. Xun for his poor ability to memorize directions. After all, when I was helping in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I didn't get any rest all day long. I was so busy that I couldn't spend more time memorizing directions. I had to walk to the main hall in a daze, and then After taking a deep breath, he put down the lantern, sat down in front of Xun Wenqu who was brooding with his eyebrows lowered, and swept a lot of discarded rice paper to the ground.
"Wenquxing, do you have such a hard time? It's really rare."
"Don't pretend to be confused while pretending to understand. If you don't learn from the good ones, you'll just learn from your cheap master who makes jokes like this. But then again, besides having such a good heart, your master has nothing but good intentions. There is nothing to learn. He has a lot of courage, but I don’t know where he has used it. He only knows how to bury and kill people." Xun Wenqu’s eyes were red. Although it seemed that his energy and energy had not declined, in the opinion of Master Ren Xun, this man The old man was just trying to keep himself up, but he didn't know he could hold on for much longer. It was obvious that something was going on in the court. Like the demon tide incident, the old man was also very trapped, and his appearance was far less than before. The house was quite messy and he had not tidied it up.
After all, at such an age, he has never entered the spiritual path, and because of the many things in his daily life, the old man's few efforts have been exhausted. Not to mention that he has so many thoughts and thoughts, and he is worried for a while. It's hard to understand. If it were Xun Yuantuo who came to do these things, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to bear the weight.
"Junior, I heard that Dong Wuyang in the imperial city seems to have obtained an official position recently. At worst, he can go to the court to give advice. Moreover, Suizhou City outside the border is trapped by monsters. I'm afraid these two things should be taken into account. It's right to be implicated. At that time, Wenquxing could worry so much, but after thinking about it, there are only these trivial matters left, but I don't know what kind of help this junior can add."
Xun Wenqu raised his head and looked at the young master in front of him who seemed to be behaving in a dissolute manner, but he couldn't see any hint of deception in his concerned expression.
"As expected, even you can see the crux of this. Although the saint is good at literature and art, he always has the ambition to expand the territory, which is the best.
Good thing, even if we shouldn’t talk about the rights and wrongs of the emperor and the saint in private, we still have to say the last sentence. When the Ziwei star comes to the world, he is a dragon and a phoenix among people, but he is still an ordinary person. He has his own negligence and mistakes. The previous monster The trouble was that the Zhongxian family in Shang Qi had gained benefits and went out to meet the enemy one after another, saving Shang Qi from being poisoned by monsters, but this time it was not the case. What I said does not necessarily reflect the thoughts of the saint, but there are always people who are dormant and will do what they like and take advantage of this. "
"I met your master a while ago. Although he ignored him on the surface, he still sent a letter to the emperor to dispatch troops to the border areas. Firstly, it was to save the lives and property of the people at the border. It could not only win the hearts and minds of the people, but also You can train your soldiers and horses from it to deal with the beacon fires in the sky in the future. Unfortunately, the saint was bewitched by the evil words. The immortal family is afraid of the evil tide. The lion opened his mouth and almost brought the whole family together, putting them in a situation where they were suspended in mid-air."
"Everyone gets old sometimes."
In the first few sentences, Xun Yuantuo's expression did not change much, except for the last sentence, which he frowned for a moment.
