Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 679: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
While the two were talking, someone from outside suddenly ran in in a panic, knelt down on one knee and said, "General Ji, it's bad, a large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared [-] miles outside the city, it seems...it seems that they are coming for us in Yichang !"

Xiao Wu's face changed, and he said solemnly: "How many people are there? Can you find out where they are?"

The spy said: "There are at least 15 horses, and they carry siege equipment. There is only one big city nearby, and their target should be us."

Xiao Wu's face was gloomy, and he murmured: "Why did so many enemies come suddenly? Could it be that the second prince couldn't wait? But in the previous discussion, no matter how you look at it, their primary goal should not be Yichang. !"

Su Bai also listened to the general idea. Of course, the enemy army that came suddenly at this time was only the second prince. He asked, "Little fifth brother, what is going on? How many soldiers are there in the city now?"

Xiao Wu first said to the spies: "Go quickly to the camp for help, I will be here soon after sending the letter to Feige!"

"Yes!" The spy bowed his head and flew away.

Only then did Xiao Wu turn his head to look at Su Bai and said, "I don't know how to think about the situation now, the enemy army should be targeting me in Yichang, but before this, there was no sign at all, and no matter how you look at the other party, it shouldn't be The primary goal is here, but the opponent is coming aggressively, so it shouldn’t be an act. I’m afraid this matter will be a bit difficult! Xiaobai, I think you should leave as soon as possible. There are only less than [-] defenders in the city. There are also siege equipment, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend!"

Hearing this, Su Bai's expression was a bit ugly, but he quickly grinned and said, "Little Fifth Brother, what are you talking about! You didn't abandon the city, how could I leave you? 15 yuan It's just men and horses, although we only have less than [-], but after all, there are high walls and gates to defend, as long as we persist for a while, we will naturally wait for General Ji to send troops to rescue us."

Xiao Wu nodded slowly, but his face was still a little ugly. He sighed: "Because it was too fast and sudden, the specific situation is not clear. Why did the other party suddenly attack me in Yichang? Is it to open a gap from here, or Only for the city of Yichang? But this is not an important place, and there is no need to capture it! It seems that there is no need to open a gap."

He paced back and forth for two steps, and continued: "If the opponent is determined to capture Yichang, not to mention that the spies cannot get out, even Feige passing the letter may be at risk of being intercepted!"

This is actually what Xiao Wu is most worried about. After all, the sudden arrival of the enemy army caught them by surprise. If the enemy was well prepared, they would definitely not give them a chance to ask for help. Besides, although Yichang is a city, it is not Sticking to the key points, the guard force is not strong, 15 horses, and siege equipment, whether they can persist until the arrival of reinforcements is another matter!

Suddenly, Su Bai's heart moved, he looked at Xiao Wu, and said, "Little Wu brother, do you think they came here for you?"

The reason why he thinks this way is because he had this idea before that, after all, Xiao Wu is the grandson of Old General Ji, if he is killed or captured, it will always affect Old General Ji!
Xiao Wu shook his head and said with a smile, "How can my grandfather be affected by these things when he is fighting? Besides, if the other party really wants to attack me, they don't have to wait until now. There are plenty of opportunities in Zhanzhanshan Mountain!"

But Su Bai shook his head and said, "Little Fifth Brother, this is your idea, but the enemy doesn't know about it! Besides, if you are really arrested, Old General Ji will really not be affected at all? What's more, now there is Chen Yin Sister-in-law and Xiaolong are here!"

Xiao Wu stopped talking when he heard the words, and after hearing what Su Bai said, he also felt that it was possible!

Su Bai continued: "According to what you said, little fifth brother, this is neither an important place, nor is it necessary to capture it, nor is it the primary target of the opponent's attack. It is impossible to attack suddenly. The only possibility is little fifth brother is you."

Xiao Wu nodded and said: "Xiao Bai, after hearing what you said, I'm afraid the other party really came after me!"

He suddenly raised his head, looked at Su Bai and said, "Xiaobai, I ask you one thing, take Yin'er and Xiaolong and hurry away! I will leave their mother and child to you!"

Su Bai frowned and said, "Little Fifth Brother, since you know that their target is you, why don't you leave? Before the enemy army arrives, let's leave together! This Yichang City doesn't matter!"

Xiao Wu shook his head and said: "I can't leave, although the Second Prince's people may not do anything to the people in the city, but these [-] soldiers are doomed, if I leave, the enemy will definitely take their anger out on them. "

Su Bai opened his mouth. Originally, he wanted to say that since this is the case, let the soldiers follow along, but when he thought about 3 horses, how can he move around casually, and if he is overtaken by the time, without the city wall guarding him, he will let others slaughter him up!

Although Xiao Wu didn't say much, Su Bai could tell from the other party's eyes that the other party's mind was determined, so he didn't say anything more.

Instead, he shook his head and said, "Little Fifth Brother, if you don't leave, I won't either. You should take care of Chen Yin's sister-in-law and Xiaolong yourself. If you tell them the matter, do you think they will leave? And even spies and carrier pigeons If you can't leave here, do you think they can leave safely?"

Xiao Wu thought about it carefully, and felt that what Su Bai said was very reasonable. If he wanted to leave at this time, it might be too late, so he could only sigh in the end: "Well, my brother, I am afraid that we will live and die with this city today. , but it’s not necessarily a fatal situation, release more pigeons, send more people to report the news, maybe we can break through the opponent’s blockade! As long as the news spreads, we only need to stick to it for a day, and the reinforcements will arrive!”

Su Bai laughed and said, "Little Fifth Brother said that there are only 15 horses, we may not be able to defend, and even if the city is broken, it will not be so easy for them to catch us!"

After the discussion, Xiao Wu wrote dozens of distress letters and distributed them to spies and carrier pigeons. As for whether the news could be passed on, he could only resign himself to fate.

After finishing all this, Chen Yin suddenly came to the study with Ji Xiaolong in her arms, and said, "Husband, I heard that there are enemy troops coming?"

Xiao Wu didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "Well, there are quite a few people, but I have already passed on the news, as long as we can hold on for a day, reinforcements will arrive."

I don't know if it's because I've been used to fighting with Xiao Wu for the past two years. Chen Yin's mood hasn't changed much, and she smiled and said, "I know, husband, you should be careful."

As he spoke, he took a purple-red cloak from the maid behind him, and carefully put it on with Xiao Wu.

"I'm leaving, you should rest at home."

Xiao Wu nodded, touched Xiaolong's small face, with infinite tenderness in his eyes, and strode away.

Su Bai sighed secretly, and was about to leave, but Chen Yin suddenly called out: "Xiao Bai, wait a minute."

Su Bai stopped when he heard the words, and asked with some doubts: "Does sister-in-law have any orders?"

Chen Yin said: "Xiao Bai, you are good at martial arts, try to protect Xiao Wu."

Su Bai nodded seriously, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I won't let Little Fifth Brother have an accident!"

Su Bai, Xiao Wu and a group of generals and soldiers directly climbed to the top of the city. Yichang City is indeed not an important place. Su Bai glanced at it and found that there were no generals here, Xiao Wu was the highest officer, and there were four remaining There is no such thing as a general, deputy general, or counselor.

After they climbed to the top of the city, it didn't take long before they saw the soldiers of the brigade swarming like ants on the horizon.

Seeing so many people, all the officers and men changed their expressions one after another, and one general trembled and said, "With so many people, can our small town be defended?"

Xiao Wu suddenly turned his head and looked at the other party coldly. If it weren't for the lack of people and hope, he would have cut the other party just based on the other party's words!He was timid before the battle, and he still shakes the morale of the army, so why not kill him and save him!
After being stared at by Xiao Wu coldly, the general knew that he had said something wrong, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xiao Wu, nor did he dare to say anything more.

Xiao Wu said in a deep voice: "I have already sent someone to ask for help. As long as we can hold on for a day, reinforcements will come. With so many brothers and a high wall to defend, you don't even have the confidence to hold on for a day?"

"Have!"

The surrounding soldiers quickly responded loudly. After listening to Xiao Wu's words, they were really relieved. After all, although the enemy army looked crowded, it was no better than defending a city. It's not that easy to come to the city, and besides, they don't want to stand firm to the end, they only need to hold the enemy army for a day, and then they can wait for reinforcements, then these enemy troops should run away!
Of course, they still don't know yet, Xiao Wu has indeed sent spies and carrier pigeons, and there are even a lot of them, but Xiao Wu himself is not sure whether he can move in reinforcements.

Looking at the approaching enemy army and the fluttering banners, Su Bai's expression suddenly changed, his face was so gloomy that water could almost drip out!

Xiao Wu noticed the change in his expression, and asked, "Xiao Bai, what's wrong with you, but did you find something wrong?"

Su Bai's expression was a bit complicated, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a moment, then he glanced at the soldiers around him, and said, "Little Fifth Brother, come with me."

Said and walked to the side, Xiao Wu followed, and asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Bai, what's going on?"

With a bitter face on his face, Su Bai shook his head and said, "Little Fifth Brother, I'm the one who killed you this time, I attracted these enemy troops."

Xiao Wu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Xiao Bai, you mean that these enemy troops are coming at you?"

But Su Bai shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be for me, their goal is you, Brother Fifth!"

Now Xiao Wu was even more confused, and said: "Xiao Bai, what do you mean? Since they are coming for me, why do you say that you attracted these enemy troops?"
