Qi Jun had reservations before.

But when he heard that the other party was planning to massacre the city, Li Ji also completely let go of his psychological restraints.All the machine crossbows were quickly transported to the city wall, and every arrow shot out was like a string, killing several people in a row.

Even though the Xianbei people boasted that they were invincible in the world, the little courage in their hearts was quickly defeated in the face of the bed crossbow attack.If it weren't for the long gap between each attack of the machine crossbow, I am afraid that these Xianbei people would have become lonely ghosts under the arrow before they even touched the city wall.

While the two sides were fighting, a large number of strong men rushed to the city wall, each with a bow and arrow and a blade.

"General, there is a sudden change in the people in the city." The messenger quickly reported the news to Li Ji.

"What?" Li Ji's face darkened, and he was even more nervous. Even when facing Xianbei's 20 cavalry going south, he didn't show such an expression.But the news right now really made him feel like a blow to the head.

If there is a pincer attack from inside and outside at this time, even if Li Ji has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, even if he has many fierce generals who are enemies of thousands of people around him, I am afraid that he will be powerless.

Even though there is no definite news yet, he dare not be careless.

Beiping is close to the frontier fortress, and Hu people often come and go.Who can guarantee that there are no spies of Hu people among the people in this city.

"Zilong, hold on for me here, I'll go and have a look." After Li Ji finished speaking, he quickly ordered and went down to the city.

Zhao Yun directly replaced Li Ji's position and continued to command the soldiers.

"That silver-armored general retreated, kill, kill!" Although Li Ji was a frail scholar, his deterrent power surpassed that of other generals in Qi.At this time, Li Ji's retreated suddenly, although Zhao Yun replaced him.But in terms of deterrence, Zhao Yun is still not as good as Li Ji.

Countless Xianbei cavalry howled, waving their blades excitedly and rushed over.

With overwhelming momentum, Zhao Yun, who suddenly replaced Li Ji, also secretly complained.If he went out of the city to fight, he would naturally not be afraid, but to guard the city gate and replace bravery with resourcefulness, Zhao Yun felt uncomfortable all over.

Li Ji went down the city, and within a few steps, he saw a group of strong men in black, holding bows and arrows, with blades on their waists.Youzhou people are much stronger than the people in the south and even the Central Plains.Because the customs and customs in this area are mostly similar to those of the grassland people, the strong men are not only majestic, but most of them are rebellious warriors.

Li Ji was in armor, stood in front of the battle, got off his horse, and politely said to everyone, "Now the Xianbei bandits are attacking the city, I wonder what you folks mean?"

"General." An old man came out, saluted Li Ji, and then explained: "Xianbei thieves have repeatedly gone south, and the land of Youzhou finally regained its vitality. They came again. Now there is a king ruling Youzhou, we wait Finally, I met the Ming Lord and got a place to sleep. But now, the Xianbei bandits are yelling to slaughter the city, we really can't sit still, and are willing to assist the general to guard the city."

The old man's words are also very straightforward.

In troubled times, if it is not the critical moment of life and death, it doesn't matter who rules them.But if life and death are at stake, one cannot sit still and wait for death.

For this kind of straightforwardness, Li Ji didn't have any contempt for it, on the contrary, a trace of helplessness rose in his heart.Since the Yellow Turban Uprising to the present, the princes of the world have separated their regimes and fought continuously. The people are trying to survive in the cracks, and naturally they have a low sense of identity with the country and the nation.

But now, King Qi is obeying the destiny.Given time, it will surely be able to unify the world, and let the Han people all over the world once again establish a strong sense of national pride.The people's numbness is not the fault of the people, but the incompetence of their generals.

If one day, the Qi State and the nine princes will unite the world.

These people will naturally all stand behind them.

"Don't worry, everyone. A few barbarians are just the end of the battle. Since Beiping is the city of our Qi State, our Qi State army will naturally protect the city. This general will also act as your majesty. Thank you for your help." Li Ji said solemnly .

"The general is serious." Hearing this, the old man immediately bowed back.

"Come here, lead the strong men to the top of the city, and divide them into four cities." Li Ji ordered, and several generals promised, and immediately led these soldiers, went up to the city with decorated gates, and defended the city.

No matter how numb they are, they are all Han Chinese. With the help of these people, Beiping will be able to persist until the king leads the army.

A gleam of relief flashed in Li Ji's eyes, and his self-confidence also skyrocketed.

Chapter 711

After thousands of people entered the city, the firepower on the city became more intense.

Bow and arrow bed crossbow trebuchet, three firepower pouring arrows down crazily.

Arrows fell like rain, and the firepower above the city once again overwhelmed the Xianbei barbarians below the city.

The battle lasted from daytime to evening, until it was completely dark.With the sound of horns, Xianbei retreated unwillingly.

Li Ji ordered the soldiers to confine the four gates, and dragging their tired bodies, they walked up to the top of the city.Countless torches were lit around the top of the city. Under the light of the fire, the surrounding area of ​​Beiping City was like daytime.Under the light of the fire, the soldiers began to gather the wounded one after another.

The same is true of the strong men who helped defend the city, and they helped the soldiers take care of the wounded one after another.

Take a tour, stand at the top of the city, and look down.In the darkness, countless lying corpses were vaguely seen.There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Although the number of killed today was not as high as that of Zhao Yun's beheading the first time, after a whole day's fighting, there may be countless wounded in Xianbei.

Such a huge loss, no matter how strong the Murong clan is, it is afraid that they will not be able to accept it.

Such is the flaw of human nature, the greater the loss, the stronger the desire for revenge.Unless the city is broken, Murong Jun will never leave.

Unlike in the city, Li Jun's joy is different.

Inside the Xianbei camp outside the city, everyone was in a bleak state.

They took risks and tried their best, but they didn't expect to end up like this. More than a dozen members of the Murong family were killed in battle.But after all, they are also human beings, and they also have fears and dreads.When they suffered such heavy casualties, the wind of fear spread throughout the Xianbei Camp.

Murong Jun, Murong Ke and other key figures are of course unscathed, but judging from the situation in the camp, the camp is quite empty.

"Da Shanyu, the casualties have been calculated. In today's battle, we lost no fewer than [-] people and injured more than [-] people." A Xianbei householder said with a livid face.

"what!"

The huge number of casualties changed the expressions of Murong Jun and the others.Even though he could see the brutality of the battle by day, the pile of corpses, the bloody smell soaring to the sky, and the full of wailing.But no one expected that the number of casualties would be so large.

After the two confrontations, the Murong clan lost at least [-] soldiers, and countless more were injured.

Wounded soldiers wailed all day long, which greatly affected morale.The situation is much, much more dangerous than imagined.

When going south this time, the Murong family was ambitious from the top to the Shanyu, and down to any soldier. No one thought that in the end, they would not be able to capture even a Han city.

One must know that this expedition is all young and strong members of the Murong clan.

With so many deaths in one day, the vitality of the tribe was greatly damaged.

"Impossible, did you make a mistake? The casualties in one day reached more than 2?" A Xianbei household was very unwilling and asked.

"That's right! We had the upper hand during the day, how could there be so many casualties, how is this possible." Another Murong family member also questioned.

The rest of the Xianbei leaders also had their eyes brightened, and they pinned their hopes on this Xianbei head who was in charge of statistics, hoping that his calculations were wrong.

It is impossible for their casualties to be so large.

Among all the people, only Murong Ke and Murong Jun looked on coldly.

Now they are more mournful than heartbroken, and now there is news from the rear that the Huns have secretly assembled soldiers and horses, preparing to intercept their lair in one go when their main force is exhausted.

In today's grassland, the famous Xiongnu clan was still struggling. Although Xianbei rose above the grassland, compared with when Maodun Shanyu was there, his power is far from enough.

The last time they went south, they lost to Qi, so they could use improper preparation as an excuse.But now, they have assembled 20 cavalry to go south, suffered setbacks, and suffered heavy casualties. Who can shift this responsibility to whom?

Could it be pushed to a statistical accountant?
