Husband has a sweetheart

The soldiers defending the city stood close to the city wall, their bows and arrows were fully drawn, and they aimed at the Hu army in the distance. When they came into range, the arrows would rain down on the intruders with an order.

Zhang Yuqing was still standing on the city wall with a dagger pinned to her waist.

Meng Zeliang asked her to stand below, Hu people also have archers, it would be bad if they hurt Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing shook her head, "I'm standing right here."

Meng Zeliang wanted to say something else, Zhang Yuqing raised his hand to stop him, held up the dagger in his hand, and said: "I entrust my life, Zhang Yuqing, to all the soldiers. I am here, and if the city is broken, I will use this knife to kill myself!"

She would never let herself fall among the barbarians, be insulted and abused by the barbarians, or become a hostage for the barbarians to threaten to humiliate Lu Wei.

Lie Lie's wind sent Zhang Yuqing's words to the ears of every soldier, and the eyes of everyone changed without saying anything.

What they want to protect is not only the city, but the people in the city, and Mrs. Du Si who is willing to protect the city with her life.

The Hu people blew the horn of attack.

The long sound of the horn seems to be coming from the other side of the cloud, full of terror and trembling, making people's pores tingle.

The stones thrown by the thunderbolt chariot were covered with burning grease, and they slammed into the city wall with a whistling sound, and some even fell into the city. The entire city wall was trembling, the crushed stone and mortar fell, and the ground shook.

The stones that fell on the thatched roof ignited the roof, and Liu Quan hurriedly led the people to put out the fire.

On the gate of the city, Meng Zeliang gave an order, "Shoot the arrow!"

Arrows hit the barbarians like raindrops, and the barbarians who rushed to the front fell to the ground in an instant.

Although Zhong He was the youngest, he was the most stable and accurate among the group of archers. He steadily took the arrow from behind, set the bow, and shot the arrow. Every shot would cause a galloping cavalry to crash to the ground.

Zhang Yuqing walked up to Zhong He and pointed to a chariot surrounded by soldiers among the barbarians.

"Did you see that car?" Zhang Yuqing said, "Can you hit it?"

There are a few figures vaguely in the middle of the chariot. They are definitely the commanders of this battle, but they don't know which level they are.

Zhong He nocked the arrow, drew the bow, took aim, and said calmly, "Try it!" As soon as the words fell, the white feathered arrow left the string.

It was too far away to see what was going on, but the chariot quickly put up the curtains. Obviously, the arrow just now caused damage to them and shocked them.

Zhong He said regretfully: "I'm still too boring."

His bow is a special small bow, not as powerful as the big dark iron bow used by adults, and the killing distance is not far enough.

"Take your time." Zhang Yuqing comforted him, "You're already fine!"

The barbarian cavalry rushed over with shields on their heads, and soon the speed of the archers' arrows could not keep up, and some people had already rushed very close to the city gate.

Meng Zeliang had already led a group of elite cavalry to charge out from another city gate, waiting for work at ease, rushed over, and cut to pieces the hundreds of Hu people who were running in the front.

The Hu people never expected that the Daxia people, who have always been useless and only know how to defend the city, would give them a head-on blow at this time. By the time they realized it, there were already dead bodies everywhere.

And Meng Zeliang didn't like to fight, he blew his whistle to withdraw his troops, quickly ran back to the city, and closed the city gate.

The first wave of the Hu people's siege was repulsed in this way, and they retreated ten miles away by blowing the trumpet.

Everyone on the city wall cheered.

Zhang Yuqing's heart calmed down a little, and she worked hard, then weakened again, and exhausted three times. If the Hu people can be defeated one after another, no matter how many of them there are, they will not be able to capture this city!
However, the barbarian only rested for half an hour, and then started the second wave of fierce attack, rushing forward as if desperate.

When the Hu people rushed to the bottom of the city, the soldiers began to smash stones and bricks down the city like raindrops, and poured hot oil and gold juice down at the same time.

And the bumper logs transported by the Hu people outside the city also arrived, and they began to hit the city gate violently one after another.

The city gate trembled, and so did the entire city wall.

The people spontaneously rushed to the city gate, removed their own house beams against the city gate, and together with the soldiers, blocked the gate with their flesh and blood.

The doctors in the medical clinic voluntarily joined the ranks of military doctors, and the women also set up a logistics team under Wang Chunniang's organization to cook and boil water.

The Hu people were unable to attack for a long time, and suffered heavy casualties. Even those who climbed the city wall by chance were killed one by one by the soldiers defending the city, and their bodies were thrown back under the city wall.

However, the Hu people suffered such a big loss, but they did not withdraw their troops again as Zhang Yuqing thought. Instead, more people stepped on the corpses of their compatriots and climbed up the city wall. They were beaten down by stones and hot oil, and new people came up.

The Hu people's commander seemed to be annoyed. The horn of attack kept blowing, and anyone who dared to retreat was killed. However, until dusk, the city gate could not be captured.

After an afternoon of fierce fighting, the Hu soldiers were exhausted, and they looked at the city wall of Baochuan and sighed.

Last fall, Domuyi, the god of war of the barbarians, suffered a setback here, and was defeated by the newly appointed young general Lu Wei. Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, the equipment and combat power of the Baochuan defenders had improved to a higher level.

Especially the arrows. In the past, the Baochuan defenders used to count the arrows and search for them. Why is it that the arrows don’t need money this year?There is also the armor worn by Baochuan defenders. In previous years, there were not even a few bamboo armors. This year, even the most ordinary soldiers have all been replaced with strong and tough iron armor, which cannot be cut through by knives or pierced by arrows.

And those soldiers, who have been fighting fiercely all afternoon, still have the strength to stand on the city wall and cheer for their retreat!
Aren't those Daxia people extremely weak?When did he become so powerful?

The leading Hu Ren Junshuai was no less shocked than ordinary soldiers. Apart from shock, there was more fear.

If the Baochuan army is so strong, how can the Hu people come in and plunder?If they are given more time to continue to grow, then everyone in the Daxia army will be like the Baochuan army, and the Hu people will probably stay on the grassland forever, and never dream of setting foot in the prosperous land of the Central Plains.

After the fear passed, the officers of the barbarians made up their minds unanimously, no matter what price they paid, they must capture Baochuan City!
This is a battle that bets on the fate of the two countries in the future!
Taking advantage of the temporary retreat of the Hu people, Wang Chunniang took the women to carry the burden and brought steaming meals to the soldiers defending the city.

The sunset glow dyed the earth a blood red, and countless barbarian corpses were lying here and there under the city wall.

Zhang Yuqing divided the soldiers into two squads, one to stay in the middle of the night and the other to stay in the second half of the night, resting alternately to recharge their batteries.

"When will your lord come back?" Wang Chunniang asked worriedly.

Zhang Yuqing covered her face with her hands and sighed deeply, "I don't know."

Although scouts had been sent to Liangzhou to report the news, Shen Shoushan didn't know whether he would let Lu Wei come back, or when Lu Wei would come back.

Baochuan City's materials are limited, and it is impossible to fight a long-term war of attrition.

"If Lord Lu doesn't come back..." Wang Chunniang said in fear.

Zhang Yuqing got up and watched the sun sink into the horizon little by little, "He will definitely come back."

Whether Lu Wei loves her or not, Zhang Yuqing doesn't know, and she doesn't want to think about it at the moment, but she believes that Lu Wei is essentially a responsible and kind person, and he will not leave the city alone.

The Hu people drove here for a long time, and they were exhausted from attacking the city again. They were exhausted, but they lived peacefully at night.

The defenders and people of Baochuan also took this opportunity to recharge their batteries and rest.

Today the barbarians brought more violent siege equipment. The ramming wood was covered with sharp iron thorns. Every time it hit, it left a deep wound on the wooden city gate.

A long knife protruded from the hole and stabbed the soldier who was about to block the gap with a plank.

The soldier screamed, blood spurted out of the wound, and fell to the ground. He was quickly carried down by other soldiers and handed over to the team in charge of medical treatment.

The rest of the people continued to rush forward one after another, blocking the hole.

The situation on the city wall was also not optimistic. The fighting continued from morning to noon, and the corpses of barbarians piled up under the wall.

From time to time, people stepped on the corpses of their compatriots and climbed onto the city wall. The soldiers defending the city were slashing and killing. If they were injured and could no longer participate in the battle, many people chose to rush over, hugging the barbarians who were about to climb up and fell off the city wall, and they were determined not to let the barbarians step into the city.

However, the fighting continued from morning to afternoon, and more and more barbarians climbed to the city wall, raising their swords.

Du Jingyi dragged Zhang Yuqing to run down the city wall, "Ma'am, let's go!"

When the Hu people saw a woman on the city wall, they all ran towards Zhang Yuqing, their eyes flashed with determination, and they yelled Hu Yu in their mouths.

A barbarian who was closest to Zhang Yuqing was shot by a feathered arrow, and the arrow shot straight into the back of his head, and he fell straight to the ground.

Zhong He squatted on the city wall, his still immature face was still calm and solemn, drawing arrows, nodding his bow, and shooting arrows.

However, when he shot down a few barbarians and went to get the arrows from the quiver behind him, he was shocked to find that the quiver was empty, and the quiver behind the dead Daxia soldier next to him was also empty.

The tallest and strongest man among the Hu people had already chased after Zhang Yuqing.

This man was especially brave, with a forehead guard tied on his head, and his sword was like a crescent moon. He chopped down all the soldiers who came close to him, and he raised the sword at Zhang Yuqing with a grinning grin.

Wang Chunniang and the others screamed and ran towards Zhang Yuqing desperately.

Zhang Yuqing pushed Du Jingyi away without hesitation, pulled out the dagger from her waist, and raised it to her neck.

She is really going to die here today.

She is not afraid of death, but such a fate makes her feel really regretful.

If there is an afterlife...

A hot stream hit her face.

She opened her eyes, and the big knife hanging above her head fell down.

The barbarian's head was cut off from behind abruptly, and his heavy body fell to the ground, revealing Lu Wei's cold face behind him.
