No matter how strong the wind is, the snow falling on the ground will not surge like waves.And the snow layer on the wasteland outside the city seems to be really moving, so there are only two possibilities.Either it's an avalanche or... a fake.

How could there be an avalanche outside Wei County?

Therefore, the surging snow tide is fake.

Countless soldiers, wearing white robes, not only covered their bodies, but even their heads and faces.In such severe cold weather, soldiers in white robes half-kneeled on the ground and moved forward.The person at the front even kept crawling forward on the snow.Before, the night was strong and the sky was gloomy, so there was no need to lie down a hundred paces outside the city, but the sky suddenly cleared up, making these soldiers have to be cautious.

The city wall in Wei County is not very tall and strong. This city was built more than a hundred years ago, but it has been in disrepair for a long time, and many of the battlements on the city wall have been destroyed.In the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the defenders of Wei County reinforced the city defense, but they only built a few archery towers on the city wall, and piled up the missing crenels of the city wall with mud.

The city wall was barely more than one foot long. Compared with the city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, it was like the ratio of mountains to soil. After the Yanyun Army captured Wei County, Wei Yong sent people to pour water on the city wall with millet stalks, freezing a layer of water on the city wall. , can not only increase the height of the city wall, but also defend against the incoming arrows of the enemy.

This Wei Yong is the general of the south, he has more experience in defending the city than in attacking.

After the millet stalks are frozen by water, they look like hard rammed earth.Although most of the elements are deceptive, it may be a good thing to use for defending the city.Because of the stalks, the feathered arrows can be stuck on it, and the soldiers can easily pull out the feathered arrows for their own use. Even if the enemy uses rockets, it is impossible to ignite the frozen millet stalks.

The defenders patrolled back and forth on the city wall, taking a breath of hot air from time to time to warm their almost frozen hands.The leather armor on them was frozen as hard as iron sheets, and they made a rattling sound when they walked.Standing on a high place, even a thick cotton coat inside the leather armor can't keep out the wind and cold.

The patrolling soldiers glanced outside the city from time to time, but it was impossible to see the changes on the ground outside the city.

And the white-robed soldiers lying on the ground and crawling forward outside the city became more careful the closer they got to the city.The last distance of one hundred steps took half an hour to move slowly.

A young man in a white robe at the head slowly stood up against the wall under the city, and then made a gesture.The soldiers near him immediately conveyed the order to the people around him with gestures, and soon, the densely packed white-robed soldiers under the city wall were all ready.They untied the ropes tied around their waists one by one, and a five-claw iron hook was tied to one end of the rope.

The other soldiers took the torches they carried with them, and when they heard the sound of the horn, they immediately lit the torches wrapped in tarpaulins in their hands, and then threw them on the city wall with all their strength.In an instant, thousands of torches were thrown up, just like a waterfall of flames, magnificent and dazzling.

It's just that this fire waterfall flows from bottom to top.

As the torches were lifted into the air, the white-robed soldiers under the city wall immediately swung the ropes in their hands.With a clattering sound, hundreds of ropes slammed onto the city wall.

"Enemy attack!"

Shrieking shouts sounded from the city walls, and soon the defensive horns and gongs sounded, hasty and shrill.

The five-claw iron hook hooked the frozen millet stalks on the highest layer of the city wall, and the soldiers below pulled hard to stabilize the iron claws. Under the loud order of the white-robed general, hundreds of soldiers The white-robed soldiers began to climb the city.If it weren't for the frozen millet stalks on the top layer of the city wall, it would be extremely difficult for Iron Claw to hit the bare city wall and grab it!

Obviously, the side that attacked the city observed very carefully.It can also be seen from this that the enemy who will attack tonight has already been preparing.And this heavy snow just gave them a chance.

But it was precisely because of that layer of millet stalks that many white-robed soldiers fell from mid-air because the iron claws were not hooked firmly.But soon, another rope was thrown up.

The white-robed general who directed the soldiers to climb up was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a firm and arrogant face.A pair of sword eyebrows, slightly thin lips.Seeing that some of his subordinates had already ascended the city, the young general also took off the rope from his body and threw it up.With the horizontal knife in his mouth, he climbed up the rope with both hands.Moving like a spirit ape, he climbed up the one-foot-high city wall in a short time.

At this time, the hundred white-robed soldiers who climbed up the city wall first had already fought with the Yan Yun army defending the city.

It's too late to defend, and there are not many defenders on the city wall!

The black-armored Yanyun army and the white-robed enemy army fought on the city wall, and the blood splashed on the frozen city wall immediately gave off a puff of heat.

The shouting and killing became louder and louder, tearing apart the tranquility of the night.

The young general in white robe leaped vigorously, and glanced after he climbed onto the city wall.Seeing Yan Yunjun of the brigade running up the city wall from the horse path, he took the horizontal knife out of his mouth and pointed in that direction: "Kill it! Push the Yanyun thief down. The brothers behind are watching us, Come with me!"

This young general was like a cheetah, his movements were swift and fierce, and none of the soldiers of the Yanyun army in front of him could stop him. The knife in his hand splashed a path of blood, killing people all the way towards the direction of the horse road.Dozens of personal soldiers followed closely behind him, protecting his rear and flanks.

Soon, the young general rushed to the horse crossing.

Seeing that the Yan Yun army in the city was rushing up along the road to support, a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he ordered his soldiers to block the crossing, and he stood at the front of the queue.

Two miles outside Wei County.

General Xia Junlang looked at the faintly visible outline of the city wall in the distance, and couldn't help but said worriedly: "The major general is coming to the battlefield for the first time, should he send more troops to support him?"

Sitting on a rock, General Yinjia was a middle-aged man with a square face, beard, rough eyebrows, and cold eyes.His body was covered with a thin layer of white snow, obviously he had been sitting here for a long time.

"not necessary"

He said two words lightly, but he was extremely firm.

……

……

The young general in white robe chopped the Yanyun Army soldier in front of him to death with one knife, and then removed half of the head of the second soldier who rushed forward with one knife.Blood gushed out like a waterfall, splashing the young general all over.The white robe was stained with blood, like a tree of plum blossoms blooming in the snow.

Wiping off the slightly hot blood on his face, the young general's eyes became even more cold and arrogant.

The knife in his hand was like lightning splitting from the night sky, each knife was faster than each knife.The Yan Yun army rushing up like a tidal wave was blocked by dozens of white robes, and the corpses rolling down the road also hindered the follow-up soldiers from moving forward.But Yan Yunjun still rushed forward, stepping on the corpses of his comrades, trying to kill all the white-robed soldiers standing in front of him.

Because there has been no fighting for nearly a month, there are not many defenders on the city wall.Most of the soldiers were resting in the big camp inside the city. They rushed to the city wall when they heard the sound of the horn, but when they got to the bottom of the city wall, many of the enemies had already climbed up.In a short period of time, the enemy took control of this section of the city wall.

The city wall of Wei County was too low, and the enemy came too abruptly.

No one thought that the enemy would attack in such weather.Dressed in a white robe, he quietly went under the city wall under the cover of heavy snow.Later, it was millet stalks frozen to defend against the enemy's feather arrows, and it became a tool for the enemy to climb the city wall.

On this section of the city wall, hundreds of soldiers of the Yanyun Army on duty could not defend the front line at all. Although they tried their best to cut off the ropes and kill the enemies who climbed up, the enemies who climbed up the city wall were still getting stronger and stronger. more and more.When the number of enemies exceeds that of the defenders, the city wall has actually been declared lost.

Outside the city, dense numbers of white-robed soldiers were still climbing up the city wall.When a large number of soldiers attacked, the follow-up team began to lift up the ladder and set it up.

About [-] soldiers of the Yanyun army guarding the city died in battle after holding on for only half an hour.Not one surrendered, not one survived.

After the Xia army's strength on the city wall increased, the young general in white robes began to lead people to attack the city.Two torrents, one black and one white, collided fiercely on the horse path, but because Xia's army attacked from top to bottom, occupying a favorable location, the situation soon became more and more unfavorable for Yan Yun's army, and the soldiers couldn't bear it. Holding back the pressure, he began to be forced back step by step by Xia Jun.

The young general in white robe rushed to the front from beginning to end.

With a puff, the horizontal knife with countless gaps in his hand was stuck in the skull of the Yanyun Army soldier in front of him and pulled out.The young general kicked over the enemy's corpse, and without looking back, he shouted two words: "The knife comes!"

A soldier following him had nine knives tied behind his back, and he quickly pulled out one of them and handed it to the young general.

"When I use up these nine knives, I will surely slaughter the enemy army!"

This is what he said before ascending the city.

At this time, Wei Yong, the Wei county guard of the Yanyun Army, came to kill with a brigade.There are nearly [-] Yanyun troops in the city, which is still superior in strength compared to the Xia army that is currently attacking the city wall.But because Xia Jun rushed down from the city wall, it was extremely difficult for Yan Yun's army to take back the city wall.

"Zhao Xiaosan!"

Wei Yong looked at the enemy in front of him with a solemn face, and loudly ordered his own soldiers: "Take a few people, rush out from the other city gates, and go to Fanshui to ask General Xue Wanche for help! I will lead people to stand firm, go!"

"General! Lead someone to break through, and I will stay!"

Zhao Xiaosan, who was in the army, shouted in tears.

"roll!"

Wei Yong kicked Zhao Xiaosan out with one kick: "Since I guard Wei County, my life should stay here. Fanshui is only a hundred miles away. If you run fast enough, General Xue will come here with his troops." In time, I might not be able to die!"

Zhao Xiaosan got up from the ground, wiped away his tears and nodded vigorously, turned around and ran away with a few soldiers
