Chapter 438
The two watched the sun set in the west from the top of the mountain, the clouds were steaming, and the mountains and rivers were magnificent.

In front of them is the abyss.

Hu Mu said, "Auntie, I remember things when I was a child."

Han Youning asked, "What's the matter?"

Hu Mu looked at the cliff ahead, surrounded by clouds and mist, and couldn't see the end, "When I was three years old, it was my eldest sister who pushed me down the rockery."

Han Youning turned his head, his expression was as calm as water, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

He said quietly, "There is a railing on the rockery, and there is a wild flower blooming on the side of the mountain outside the railing. The flower is blue, and my elder sister likes it very much. She asked me to go through the railing and pick it for her. It is counted as my gift to her." birthday gift. She said she would hold my hand and protect me."

"I was very scared. To me, that rockery was as tall and scary as this cliff. But I wanted to give my elder sister a birthday present, so I got out. When I picked it, my elder sister didn't hold my hand, but She pushed me, and I saw the smile on her face before I fell down the mountain."

He paused, "Also, someone pushed me this time when I fell into the water. But I don't know who that person was."

Han Youning didn't know how to comfort him. In his mind, the eldest sister has always been his very important relative.But this relative was his nightmare.

She said softly, "People's hearts are sinister, and the prince will meet more and more in the future. Be careful when dealing with Nanzhang in the future."

Hu Mu picked a small blue flower from the grass and put it in his palm, "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't pick flowers for her again."
-
Cizhou Daying, dark clouds cover the moon, and there is silence in the dark night.

The sun baked the earth all day long, and at night, the heat still persisted, making it so dull that it was hard to breathe.

General camp.

A tall young general with a stern face and wearing a heavy armor strode in with the curtains lifted.

He stopped, and said to the lieutenant behind him, "Stand back thirty steps and be on guard!"

"Yes!"

Lu Ling walked around the screen and cupped his hands to the people standing behind, "Brother, you're here."

Lu Bing was dressed in an ordinary soldier's uniform, and sat down on the bed, looking at his second brother Lu Ling, "Are you injured?"

Lu Ling looked down at the wound on his arm, the flesh was turned out and dripping blood.

Outside the city, the Xiliang army had just finished attacking the city. After counting the soldiers and horses, it was now the second watch, and he didn't notice that he was injured.

Lu Ling smiled indifferently, "It should be scratched by the arrows, a little wound, just sprinkle some golden sore medicine."

Lu Bing said, "Scatter it."

"Hey, you can't hide anything from Big Brother."

Lu Ling dragged a chair and sat across from him, "There have been too many deaths and injuries these days, and there are not many medicines for sores, so let's save them for those seriously injured soldiers."

Lu Bing took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and threw it to him, "It's hot now, if it festers, it could kill you."

"Not at all." Lu Ling smiled and opened the stopper of the porcelain bottle, and sprinkled some powder on the wound, "Brother, is he going to be a soldier forever?"

Lu Bing lowered his eyebrows, "If General Ghost Face doesn't show up, I won't be able to show up. He's helping the Northwest Army, so I can't expose him."

With so many soldiers and horses privately owned, if the emperor knew about them, his identity might be guessed, and he might be killed.

Since it has been rumored that General Ghost Face is him, he will set up this cover for General Ghost Face.

Lu Ling asked in a low voice, "There is a force hidden in Xiling Mountain, which blocked the big gap for us. Could it be General Ghost Face?"

"I went to investigate quietly today, and those soldiers seemed to be well-trained, and I was almost discovered by them. But it's hard to say whether they are the soldiers of General Ghost Face. If General Ghost Face didn't show up, then it can't be regarded as .”

Lu Ling had a hint of worry on his face, "The Xiliang army has already attacked so forcefully, why hasn't he shown up? Xiliang has at least [-] soldiers and horses, and we only have less than [-] garrison troops here, plus the [-] troops sent by the prince." With thousands of soldiers and horses, sooner or later the city gate will be breached."

They have more than [-] soldiers and horses, guarding not only the city gate, but also the long city wall.For them, defense is much more difficult than offense.If the time drags on for a long time, and the soldiers are exhausted, there will always be times when they cannot hold on.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, why don't General Qiao and I lead a group of elite troops to sneak out, and let's take the initiative to attack. If this takes a long time, morale will definitely be low, and the combat power will be greatly reduced."

Lu Bing shook his head, "No, it's not a desperate situation yet. Wait a little longer."

"Okay, then wait a little longer."

Lu Ling has always respected the eldest brother, the eldest brother is calm enough and thoughtful, and it is the eldest brother who saved the decline of the Northwest Army.

Lu Bing didn't leave, and slept in the second brother's tent.

It seemed that he hadn't slept for a long time, and suddenly there was sound of gongs and drums outside.

"The Xiliang army is attacking the city!"

"The Xiliang army is attacking the city!"

The two brothers jumped up.

Lu Ling quickly rushed out of the tent, just in time to meet the deputy general who came over, "General, the Xiliang army is attacking the city, and the people outside are all Xiliang soldiers! It seems that all the soldiers and horses have been dispatched!"

It is the fourth watch, and it is the time when the soldiers are the most tired and the guards are the most lax.

Just experienced a battle last night, who would have thought that the Xiliang army would attack the city again after two hours.And it's a big attack.

Lu Ling walked out and ordered, "Pass the order, except for the wounded soldiers, all the soldiers are in their positions!"

"As ordered!"

Lu Ling paused, then turned back to the camp. Lu Bing had heard the report from the adjutant and was about to sneak out.

Lu Ling said, "Brother, don't go on, we two brothers must survive, and the Northwest Army can't do without you."

Lu Bing said, "We are dead, the Lu family still has Lu Lin."

After speaking, he opened a corner from the back of the tent and got out.

After leaving the camp, the voices from the city gate could be heard much more clearly. The shouts that shook the sky were powerful, and the long arrows with fireballs pierced the night sky.

Climb up the city wall, and by the light of the torches, you can see the densely packed Xiliang soldiers outside, surging and gathering under the city wall.

The rain of arrows shot out, but its power was negligible in front of the thick shield armor.Arrows and crossbows are limited, and they will never be able to penetrate their layer upon layer of protection.The people in front fell, and the people behind made up. The Xiliang army seemed to have never been afraid of death.

The city gate was already on fire, and soldiers of the Northwest Army climbed down the city wall desperately, cutting off one rocket after another on the city gate.

I don't know how many soldiers have died under the city gate, and new ones are constantly replacing them.

In the face of such a huge disparity in the number of attacks, there is no way to deal with it except to defend.

"Defend Cizhou!"

Holding the bow and arrow, Lu Ling narrowed his eyes coldly, aimed at the occasional human head exposed behind the shield, and shot with precision.

Xiliang soldiers fell one after another.

"Defend Cizhou!"

"Defend Cizhou!"

The shouts spread out wave after wave, and spread on the city wall. The soldiers were red-eyed, and the bows and arrows in their hands kept going.

What they guarded was not only Da Zhou, but also their relatives.
