There was heavy snow falling in the sky, and many young people from wealthy families were warming themselves by the fire. However, it is snowing heavily in Runzhou at this moment.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there is a tense atmosphere both inside and outside the city of Runzhou.
The elderly, women, children and other weak people were all imprisoned in Runzhou City and obeyed orders. Some people who were overly afraid followed the officials and made trouble.
A group of warriors outside the city were nervously confronting the enemy.
"Have the reinforcements arrived?"
The guard of Runzhou City asked as he walked above the city gate, his dark face looking very handsome.
"Return to the garrison, there is no news of reinforcements yet." The garrison assistant replied.
Seeing the constant struggle outside the city gate, the guards stopped and stood in front of the battlements to watch.
"How can we defend Runzhou City if we don't come again?" the guard said angrily.
At just this moment, a sword from the enemy of Qi State was fired at the Runzhou garrison. Fortunately, the garrison assistant noticed it in time.
"Guard, be careful."
Before he finished speaking, the assistant shot an arrow into the guard's crotch. The arrow passed through the soldier's arm and blood flowed out.
The garrison of Runzhou City had a surname of Zuo and a given name of Guang, and had been stationed here for decades. Now he has a full beard, his lips are purple from the cold, and his hands are cracked.
Seeing his soldier's arm bleeding, Zuo Guard hurriedly knelt down and ordered: "Come here, take him to heal his wound!"
"yes."
I saw two soldiers running over quickly, and they worked together to take him down for treatment.
"How long can this last?" Zuo Shouwei asked the soldier who was shooting the arrow.
"Return to the left to defend. We can probably hold out for two hours."
"Hold on! Don't lose the city before the reinforcements arrive!" Zuo Guard ordered with a white mist on the city gate.
"yes!"
At this time, each soldier shouted at the top of his lungs and attacked the enemy force with murderous intent in his eyes. The morale of the whole army could be extended for a while. . .
"Quick! Quick!"
"hurry up!"
"start running!"
The leader's surname is Meng and his given name is Yingrui. He is the commander-in-chief of Jianglai Province, and all the troops in Jianglai Province are in his hands. He had a serious face, his hair tied up, and he was wearing armor and riding a strong horse. He loudly encouraged the soldiers in armor who were running behind him.
This team is the reinforcements.
According to the rules of the Mo Dynasty, the general soldiers stationed in the provincial capital could only obey the orders of the governor's office and the emperor's orders.
"Faster!"
"hurry up!"
The leader, General Meng, kept urging the soldiers who were following him.
These soldiers were all strong-backed, and after listening to the commander-in-chief's words, they immediately sped up their pace. Seeing the commander-in-chief riding a horse while they themselves were running on two legs, they dared not complain.
After more than ten years of training, these soldiers' running speed is improving day by day. Even if ordinary people compete in a race, they are still slightly better.
"Defense! If the reinforcements don't come, we won't be able to hold on any longer!" Some soldiers began to complain.
Zuo Shouwei was calm and composed, and after just shooting the bow and arrow in his hand, he came back: "Hold on even if you can't hold on! Runzhou can't be lost! If you hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!"
At this moment, corpses of various sizes were scattered outside Runzhou City, and the enemy army was like a pack of hunting wolves, fiercely attacking Runzhou City.
Looking at the densely packed enemy troops, and then looking at many of his dead soldiers, the anger in Zuo Guard's heart was superimposed layer by layer. He drew the arrow, and the arrow quickly pierced the body of a cavalryman like a cheetah, and he fell off his horse. Come down.
The team that originally numbered more than a few thousand people now only has a few dozen people, while the enemy army still numbers tens of thousands.
Seeing that the enemy troops were about to step over him, he suddenly heard the roar of a soldier.
"Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming! We are saved!"
After hearing this, Zuo Shouwei's arrow fell to the ground, and he showed a happy expression.
However, Guard Zuo was so tired that he collapsed.
"Brothers! It's been several years! Now the enemy is attacking Da Mo again. It's time to fight back!" Mr. Meng said.
At this time, the sound of collisions with enemy knives rang out outside Runzhou City.
Tens of thousands of people fought with the enemy to the death.
At some point, the snow stopped and the surrounding area became dark, but the enemy troops were lying on the snow outside Runzhou City. . .
"Defend! Defend!"
Familiar and kind words rang in Zuo Shouwei's ears.
Zuo Shoubei recalled the scene of the ferocious enemy in his mind. In the picture, he saw the ferocious Central Plains man wielding a sharp knife and swiping at the soldiers mercilessly, and blood suddenly spread all over the ground.
After thinking about it, coupled with the shouts of people on the side of Zuo Shoubei, Zuo Shoubei woke up from his nightmare.
Seeing that Zuo Shouwei had woken up and was already lying on the hospital bed, with stab wounds all over the palms and backs of his hands, he looked at the crowd of people watching in panic.
"Zuo Shoubei, how are you?" Manager Meng asked with concern.
Zuo Shoubei smiled slightly: "Okay." After saying that, recalling the scene in his dream, Zuo Shoubei asked General Meng: "Mr. Meng, have the enemy troops been repulsed?"
Manager Meng laughed loudly and replied happily: "Repulsed. And no one was left behind. You have done a good job in protecting the city this time. When I return, I will receive a reward for your merits. Your share will be indispensable." "
"Thank you, Commander." Zuo Shoubei replied with a slight smile.
"I know that your soldiers suffered heavy casualties this time. Therefore, I decided to give you a thousand soldiers and put them under your command. Protect this Runzhou City well."
"Thank you, Commander Meng."
"Okay, you should take good care of your injuries. I will go back and see you again if we have the chance. Don't send me away." After saying that, Commander Meng gave an order, and his soldiers followed him back obediently.
After seeing the guard's injury, the soldier in the same ward started chatting with him. . .
After the disastrous defeat of the Qi army in the battle at Runzhou outside the Mohe River, word soon reached the ears of the Emperor of Qi.
"What! This battle! No one from our Qi army survived?!"
Standing in front of all the ministers, wearing a mask and a dragon robe, the slender man is Qi Heze, the emperor of Qi State. According to legend, no one in Qi State dared to call this name directly, which gave the people of Qi State an image. A cruel and brutal tyrant who does all kinds of evil!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, as soon as we stop in Runzhou this time... the reinforcements arrive a little early, and the Qi army will soon attack the city."
The person who was trembling with fear was Taowen, the Minister of the Ministry of War of Qi State. He was middle-aged, with a full beard and yellowish skin.
"Morning?!" The emperor was so angry that he threw a tea cup in front of the Minister of War, and then said fiercely:
"You are responsible for the loss of troops this time! Since the Mo Dynasty is so powerful, you must decide how to disintegrate it.
"If you harm the army again, I will chop off your head and place it on the gate of Jinghai City. If I am unhappy, then... I will kill your nine or ten tribes again."
After hearing this, Tao Wen, Minister of the Ministry of War, turned pale with fright, and replied hesitantly: "Yes, yes, yes."
