I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

The gong kept ringing.

Mo Xin immediately put down his work and shouted loudly, "Go to the city wall!"

Almost at the same time, the sound of horseshoes hit the city of Jingcheng like thunder, and tens of thousands of Huan cavalry rushed around Jingcheng, firing arrows continuously.

The arrows shot over like a storm and stayed on the city wall. Anyone who stood up was shot and killed more than a hundred people in the blink of an eye.

"Don't stand up, hold on!"

Mo Xin stood on the city wall and shouted loudly.

The shooting skills of the Huan cavalry are basically very high. At close range, the risk of head-on shooting is very high.

It is Mo Xin's strategy to consume at least three waves of arrows from the opponent.

Because, if the cavalry wants to attack the city, there are only a few strategies.

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

Arrows kept flying in, and many more arrows shot at the city wall, which was shocking.

"Fire arrows!"

Mo Xin quickly ordered.

The archers on the city wall immediately started shooting down the city.

The cavalry near the city wall were shot down from time to time.

From time to time, people on both sides fell down.

However, thanks to the defense of the city wall, the people in the city have fewer arrows and can still consume them.

It was just that with the oppression of the cavalry, infantry appeared among the prairie cavalry. These people carried shields and held weapons to attack the south gate of Jingcheng.

"Pawns?"

Mo Yu, a scout captain from the Xiangzhou Army, stood on the tower of the south gate and looked at the grassland Huan infantry who were coming from below, feeling extremely puzzled.

He knew that the prairie cavalry would dismount and become infantry to attack the front, but the people in front of them didn't seem to be the real prairie Huan tribe.

Because, some of these pawns have blond hair, some have white hair, and this face, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a prairie man, but rather like a Xilu army in the Yu State Army.

The so-called Western Captive Army is the army formed by gathering some captives when Yu State expanded to the west.

It would be normal for Yu Guo to dispatch such a large army.

However, where did the Prairie Huan people find these people?

Before he had time to think about it, a bloody battle had already broken out.

Fire oil and gold juice poured down the city wall in an orderly manner, rolling stones, and stones fell down from time to time.

Occasionally, some centurions on the prairie wanted to step on the corpse to kill them, but they would be forced back by some arrows that had been prepared long ago.

……

The main formation of the Huan people in the grassland.

Jebe rode on the horse, watching the attack and defense in front of him coldly.

He sent 2 cavalry to block the four gates of Jingcheng, and shot and killed any Gan people who dared to take the lead with bows and arrows from time to time.

Especially the south gate, as the main direction of attack, was suppressed the most.

The army he brought was all first-class warriors on the grassland, with very good shooting skills, and could easily suppress the opposite tower. So far, everything has been as expected in the siege plan.

As for the pawns, it was a pure surprise.

Hartu, the Western Khan of the prairie, did not know where he got the news, or how he came up with it. He planned to send a large army to attack the Vulcan Valley when the great Shan Yu Kaer Zhixie was going south, intending to dig out the Huan tribe. The foundation of the unification of the prairie.

However, what Xi Khan Hartu did not expect was that the great Shanyu Kaer Zhixie had indeed come to the border of Yanzhou in Dagan.

After arriving, he launched a fierce attack on the Yanbei Army's defense line.

This convinced Xi Khan Hartu that the great Shanyu Kaer Zhixie was here, and that he had fallen into a state of intense war, so he launched a surprise attack on Vulcan Valley.

At this time, their great Shan Yu Kaer Zhixie secretly led fifty thousand cavalry to make a big detour on the prairie, and under the cover of the fierce battle in Yanzhou, they appeared directly behind the army of West Khan Hartu.

After a surprise attack, the 20 troops of the Western Khan Hartu were killed and fled in a hurry.

In this battle, Da Shanyu beheaded 6 people and captured 5 people.

According to normal circumstances, especially in winter, the grasslands do not have the habit of keeping captives.

After all, in winter, the headquarters of the Huan tribe was already very short of food, and even had to take the risk of invading Dagan Yanzhou to solve the food problem.

However, the great wizard Ling seemed to have given an explanation to the Great Shanyu to turn the 5 captives into infantry and secretly arrange to come here to attack Jingcheng.

Therefore, the grassland army that attacked Jingcheng was not just 5 cavalry, but an army of [-]!

"One hundred thousand troops!"

Moxin has already got the exact information.

He was a little dazed for a moment, and he coordinated the forces of both sides a little bit.

Jingcheng is full of 7000 soldiers and horses.

Among them, 2000 are considered regular troops, and 5000 are temporary motley troops formed by ordinary people.

This is beyond the ten to one siege configuration.

If the [-] Huan army attacked regardless of the cost, Jingcheng would definitely not be able to defend it.

"gentlemen……"

The butler, Ah Fu, stood beside Mo Xin, looking a little apprehensive.

He was afraid that after bringing this news, Mr. Moxin would take his disciples away.

"Please rest assured, as long as you trust me, this city will be able to defend."

Mo Xin said firmly.

"Thank you sir!"

The butler, Ah Fu, bowed to Mo Xin.

Despite getting Moxin's assurance, the butler Ah Fu was still uneasy deep in his heart.

After all, the disparity in military strength is too great, and Jingcheng's geographical location is really not a dangerous pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After receiving Mo Xin's promise, the butler, Ah Fu, hurried back to the city magistrate's mansion.

He has to see if the master is awake.

Qin Shao had already woken up, drinking ginseng soup under the service of a maid.

Seeing the arrival of the butler Ah Fu, Qin Shao waved his hand and asked the maid to leave with the remaining ginseng soup.

"Master, you are awake!"

The butler, Ah Fu, came to the bed with an excited expression.

"Ahem..." Qin Shao coughed and said, "Thanks to Mr. Moxin's medicine, I was able to recover so quickly, and the fever subsided, so you don't have to worry about it."

Hearing what the master said, Ah Fu, the housekeeper, felt relieved.

However, he didn't know what to say about the battle in Jingcheng.

Qin Shao seemed to see through the housekeeper's thoughts at a glance, and asked, "Ah Fu, you and I have been together for 30 years. If you have anything to say, just say it."

The butler, Fu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master, let's run away!"

escape?

Qin Shao looked at the housekeeper, Ah Fu, and showed a sad smile: "Did you see the Huan tribe in the grassland attacking the city?"

Butler Fu nodded: "Master, to be honest, the Huan army that attacked Jingcheng this time was not [-] Qingqi, but [-] troops, [-] of which were infantry!"

Qin Shao leaned on the bed, staring straight at the butler Ah Fu: "What did Mr. Mo Xin say?"

The housekeeper Ah Fu replied: "Mr. Mo Xin said that as long as you trust him, Jingcheng will be able to defend."

Qin Shao's expression was calm, just as calm as when he heard that the Huan tribe killed not [-] troops, but [-] troops.

Because to him, there was not much difference between the [-] army and the [-] army in this small well city.

He asked lightly: "Since Mr. Mo Xin said he could defend, why did he run away?"

The butler, Ah Fu, was taken aback, and said, "I think Mr. Mo Xin lied..."

Judging from this point, the housekeeper Fu still has a lot of self-confidence.

Although Mr. Moxin's eyes were firm during the question and answer with Moxin, it was this firmness that made him think that Moxin was lying.

Qin Shao coughed a few times and shook his head: "You and Mo Xin, who do you think is smarter?"

This……

What kind of problem is this?

The housekeeper Ah Fu didn't know how to answer for a while, but he still said, "I'm not as good as Mo Xin."

Qin Shao nodded, and asked again: "You have seen the scene of the Huan clan attacking the city, do you think we have a chance to escape?"

Any chance of escape?

It is almost unnecessary to think about it. If you escape from Jingcheng at this time, you will definitely die.

Even if they fled at night, they might not be able to escape the Huan clan's pursuit.

The butler, Ah Fu, was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, he understood.

When he was on the top of the city tower, he saw the army of one hundred thousand Huan clan, and he was afraid from the bottom of his heart, and he had a little luck, which gave rise to wrong ideas and wrong decisions.

Mr. Moxin had seen through everything long ago, but said nothing.

Maybe, Mr. Mo Xin can really hold Jingcheng.

Maybe, Mr. Moxin couldn't keep it.

However, Mr. Moxin absolutely cannot say that he cannot hold on.

"Cough cough..."

Qin Shao coughed a few more times, and said, "Mr. Mo Xin didn't lie to you, I believe he can defend Jingcheng."

This?

The butler, Ah Fu, looked at Qin Shao in disbelief, wondering why the master believed in Mo Xin so much, was it because Mo Xin came from the Mo family?

However, among the famous Mohists in the world, no one has ever heard of the name Mo Xin.

The only thing that can be trusted is that Mo Xin has obtained the qualification to be a formal Mohist disciple in the Mohist family.

This shows that Mo Xin is at least recognized within the Mohist school.

But even so, can you really trust it?

Butler Afu said again: "My lord, if there is no reinforcements, Jingcheng will definitely be breached. However, the Yanbei Army and the 15 Huan army have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and they are simply weak at the same time. The Xiangzhou Army is also a group of mobs. It is no longer easy to block the Xuan clan's attack."

Qin Shao shook his head and said, "Ah Fu, your mind is disturbed. When your mind is disturbed, you will make more wrong choices."

"The Yanbei Army is under a lot of pressure, but once Jingcheng is broken, the Yanbei Army's defense line will inevitably be invaded by the Huan tribe, and even now it will be invaded and torn apart. What awaits the Yanbei Army will be the end of the entire army's annihilation , Feng Wuji has guarded Yanzhou for so many years, wouldn't he know about it? Won't he make changes?"

"It's true that the Xiangzhou army is a mob, but what kind of mob have you seen that can burn Heixiong Ridge and 4 elite cavalry of the Suan tribe to death when they first established Yanzhou? country's elite."

"The mob is just an illusion created by Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan's talent and wisdom are beyond our imagination. Any mob in Lin Xuan's hands may become a tiger-wolf army. Anyone who believes this If they are mobs, then they will not be far from being destroyed. My lord, I thought Lin Xuan was the enemy of the aristocratic family, and I was wrong, it was so wrong."

This……

If you really want to calculate it, the master will fall into this situation, and it has something to do with Lin Xuan.

He never expected that Lin Xuan, the master's sure target, would have such a high status and evaluation in the master's heart.

"master……"

The butler, A Fu, stood aside, calmed down, and even had some guesses.

"In the current situation, the Yanbei Army may not be able to rescue us in time, but the Xiangzhou Army will definitely be able to, ahem..." Qin Shao looked out the window, "Therefore, this Jingcheng, as long as it sticks to Lin Xuan's Xiangzhou army arrived, and we were saved.”
