Chapter 299 Asking for Help from Stone City

The 31st year of Changxing marks the beginning of the new year.

The climate in western Xinjiang is becoming more and more abnormal, and it is still warm and pleasant.

Whetstone castle

Standing at the top of the city, Dingxi County Sheriff and Deputy Lieutenant Liu Mingjie, both in uniform, felt cold in their hearts.

Years ago, the post road on the East-West Line had been reopened, but their plight had not changed.

The reinforcements from the imperial court have not been seen for a long time.

All the personnel and materials that came to support resisted the attack and harassment of the Xiliang people all the way, and finally bypassed the Dingxi County Mansion, and all went to Yanzhen Fortress.

At this time, there are still densely packed Xiliang camps outside the Rockstone City.Countless Xiliang soldiers shuttled back and forth among the tents.

A large number of siege equipment has been built, standing tall and low outside the city.It looked like countless ferocious monsters were sneering at the top of the city, waiting for orders to swarm up and swallow this small city in the end.

"Old Liu," Zhu Jialiang, governor of Dingxi County, lowered his voice, "The Xiliang siege equipment will be completed soon. We don't have much time left."

"Tell me the truth. After so long, will the imperial court come to rescue me in Stone City?"

Deputy County Lieutenant Liu Mingjie's eyes were gloomy.

"My lord..." He moved his lips, but after a long while, he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Jialiang didn't understand why, so he let out a long sigh.

"That's all."

He smiled wryly and shook his head, "This is the end of the matter, if the people of Xiliang attack the city, you and I will try our best to defend the city until the last person is left."

"In case...if we really can't keep it, I've fulfilled my duty of guarding the soil. I'm worthy of the sky above, and I'm worthy of the earth below."

"It's just," he looked back at the layers of residential streets in the city, as well as the people working hard to survive on the corners of the streets.

"It's just that Xiliang people have always been cruel. The people in the city are old and young, so innocent..."

boom!
Liu Mingjie slammed his fist on the city wall, "So no matter what, we must defend."

The two were talking.

Boom boom boom!
Suddenly there was a loud drumbeat outside the city.

The officers and soldiers Yun Chui at the top of the city were refreshed, and they grabbed their weapons and looked out of the city.

And the people in the city didn't panic, the elders continued to farm, while the young people grabbed the knives, guns and sticks around them and rushed towards the city wall.

Went up to the top of the city and looked outside.

Seeing this, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

The goal of Xiliang people seems not to be Stone City, but to organize and collectively turn to the west.

West?

Zhu Jialiang and Liu Mingjie looked at each other in astonishment.

To the west of Stone City, there is only one possibility.

Rock frontier fortress!

bang bang bang.

Ma Dali was covered in heavy armor, and he led the heavy cavalry behind him to press towards Stone City one step at a time.

When he saw the continuous Xiliang tents in front of him from a distance, he was a little absent-minded.

Two years ago during the Qingming Festival, he managed to get a family leave, and he didn't know that he was competing with Ren Ning for the position of the security commander who sent the spirit back to his hometown...

At that time, when the team to send the spirits back to their hometown passed by the Stone City, everyone was smiling and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

But now that he came back here again, the small town in front of him was no longer peaceful.

There were no people coming in and out of Dingxi, on the contrary there were countless enemy camps.

Things are not people.

Ma vigorously shook his head.

He couldn't help but glanced to the south.

At that time, Ren Ning, who sent the spirit back to his hometown together, was young, but it was said that he had become the forward lieutenant general of the Starfall Legion, and was officially worshiped as the sixth-rank General Xuanwu.

In the future, he must be an extremely human minister.

And what about yourself?

Ma Dali couldn't help but smile wryly.

He is still only the head of the first battalion of heavy cavalry.

But he is not dissatisfied.

As soon as Xingluo arrived in Guangxin County in the south, he directly wiped out the arrogant Nanfeng.

Although Nanfeng is small, it is also a country.

Ren Ning has a lot of military exploits.

Therefore, if I want to go up and stand out like Ren Ning, I have to work hard!
After thinking about it, his gaze quietly fell on the Xiliang man in front of him.

In the rear of the Chinese army, Huo Yun's face sank like water.

The whole year of last year was the longest and most difficult time in his personal life of more than 40 years.

Sometimes the epidemic raged inside the fortress, and there was a large army pressing down on the border outside.

Coupled with the shortage of materials, the supply is nowhere in sight.

They fought almost hungry and survived the year by consuming the lives of the guards.

Among other things, the Huo clan alone killed seven sons who led the army...

Now the east-west post road has been reopened, and all kinds of support have been slowly delivered.

The fortress can finally catch its breath.

But it was just a little breather.

There were too many casualties, but the court seemed to have no intention of replenishing soldiers.

The most important thing is that the surrounding area of ​​the fortress is full of Xiliang people, and they can cut off the post roads on the east-west line at any time.

In addition, Dingxi County Mansion, also known as Dianshi City, is about to lose its hold.

Huo Ling, the current general of the fortress guard, saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

Even though they had just moved back to the fortress, they didn't have time to rest, so the army drove out of the fortress again.

This time, instead of going west, it was going east.

It is not only for the rescue of Stone City, but also for the protection of the fragile post road on the East-West Line.

------

Outside Dishstone City, next to the tent flag of the Angel Tribe.

Kang Ansheng, the deputy head of the patriarch, stood on the high watchtower and looked westward.

He has good eyes.However, the army passed by, and the dust was flying.

Kang Ansheng was stunned and didn't see anything clearly.

Time passed step by step, and the fortress soldiers were getting closer and closer.

When he saw that the enemy was full of heavily armored cavalry in front of him, his face turned black.

As a large tribe in Xiliang, Angel can be said to have a large number of people and a strong army.

When it comes to light cavalry, Angel has never been afraid of anyone.

It is a pity that the grassland has always been short of iron, and almost all the circulating iron in Xiliang is in the hands of the king of the grassland.

Even for a large tribe like Angel, the iron they possessed was barely enough for weapons and stirrups.

It can be said that it is impossible for them to gather heavy armored cavalry like the one in front of them.

Dry!
The military adviser next to him also had envious eyes, and couldn't help but swear a foul word.

"God is really blind. Such a severe epidemic didn't destroy these damn heavy cavalry!"

snort!
Kang Ansheng snorted coldly.

"It doesn't matter if it's destroyed by the epidemic or not. Last year they kept fighting, and there was a lack of food and grass in the fortress. Even if there were heavy cavalry, there were not many left."

The military division was refreshed, and hurriedly looked west again.

Sure enough, there were very few heavy cavalry in front of the enemy.

Although many, but definitely not many.

Report!
At this time, the messenger came in a hurry.

"Deputy Patriarch, the enemy in front has been confirmed to be from Yanzhen Fortress, and the leading general's surname is Huo..."

The surname is Huo again. Could it be that there are endless deaths in the government of the town?
This thought flashed through Kang Ansheng's mind, and he continued to listen.

"The enemy has a total of [-] people. Among them, there are [-] heavy cavalry, [-] light cavalry, and the rest are all infantry."

"Explore again!" Kang Ansheng waved his hand to let the messenger leave after listening.

He and the military division looked at each other, and there was a little more relief in each other's eyes.

Yanzhen Fortress is famous, but unfortunately there are only [-] people here, while there are more than [-] Xiliang people under Dishi City.

The ratio is five to one, and both sides are on level ground.

Kang Ansheng didn't think there would be any surprises.

"Come on," he raised his voice, "give the order."

"Elder Chigudong led several small tribes with a total of 4 people to fight against the enemy in the fortress."

After pondering for a while, Kang Ansheng added: "Elder Xi will lead another 1 people to stand beside him."

"The rest are ready to attack the city!"

Boom boom boom!
Almost at the same time, both sides sounded the drums of attack.
