Half an hour ago.

The tall city wall was pitch black, and it was also pitch black below the wall.

Lin Yuehong was wearing armor and leaning against the city wall, holding the sword at his waist tightly in his hand.

Meng Daniu came back from patrolling and saw how nervous he was. He came over with a smile and said, "General, it's already so late. Those barbarians haven't made any movement yet. They probably won't come tonight. Why don't you go back and have the family reunion dinner while I watch over the city wall?"

Lin Yuehong said with a serious expression, "The barbarians are cunning. Don't underestimate them. There may be barbarians hiding in the mountains outside the city wall."

Meng Daniu didn't care much, waved his hand and said, "I think you and the general are too nervous. The southern barbarians are so scared by our general's reputation that they are afraid to come again."

"Don't you think so?" Meng Daniu shouted.

"That's right. I think we might as well go back and have a good meal."

"Today is New Year's Eve, and I am just sitting on this tower drinking the wind."

"Those southern barbarians must be scared. Knowing our general is here, they are afraid that they will be killed and buried. In my opinion, they are not as brave as the rats in the fields of my hometown!" The speaker was Li Lei, a well-known soldier in the army.

Bursts of laughter broke out on the city wall.

Meng Daniu was closest to Lin Yuehong, so he naturally saw his slightly gloomy expression. As a lackey, he immediately said, "Okay, okay, military orders are as heavy as a mountain. In this case, we will guard this tower well."

The crowd dispersed.

Wang Jiang whispered in Li Lei's ear, "That Meng Daniu is really shameless. He is always flattering you. It's obvious that you are the best fighter in the war, but you let him curry favor with the General of the Central Army."

"That's right. He was the one who took the lead just now. Now it's our fault again."

Li Lei curled his lips in disdain, "You look like a natural slave."

"Why don't you go back to your respective positions!" Meng Daniu said in a bad tone.

Everyone turned and left, no one paid any attention to him.

The horn sounded powerfully in the darkness.

Lin Yuehong immediately stood up straight, "Light the fire!"

For a moment, bright flames flickered on the tall city walls, and archers pointed their bows and arrows at the barbarians below.

The barbarians did not flinch at all. They held their flags high and shouted, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Lin Yuehong walked quickly to the war drum, and suddenly, the war drum sounded deafening.

The archers drew their bows one after another, and in an instant, arrows rained down like rain. Screams resounded through the sky, and the smell of blood filled everyone's nostrils.

The Southern Barbarians had no intention of retreating and were determined not to give up until they could capture Liangzhou.

At the sound of the horn, the barbarians carried long ladders and placed them on the top of the city wall. They seemed to be willing to die. As the bodies of the former fell, they were replaced by those behind them. They kept rushing forward, as if they could never be killed again.

When preparing last night, Lin Yuehong thought that it would be a small-scale attack as usual. In fact, Lin Mingqian and Pei Yanli, who brought the news, also thought so. However, they did not expect...

"General! The arrows we prepared are about to run out! If they continue like this, they will attack us sooner or later!" Meng Daniu ran over in a hurry.

Lin Yuehong frowned. The southern barbarians were brutal by nature. They burned, killed, looted, bullied women and children, and committed all kinds of evil. If they attacked the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Go back to the city and inform the general!"

"Yes!"

Lin Yuehong drew his sword and shouted, "Come with me out of the city to meet the enemy!"

The city gate was opened and then immediately closed again. Lin Yuehong rode on horseback and led his soldiers to attack the southern barbarians.

Swords clashed, shields clashed, and the sound of drums and trumpets intertwined.

Lin Yuehong jumped off his horse, waving his sword, and a southern barbarian soldier fell down. He kept dodging with agility, and soon a group of people fell down beside him.

Not far away, Li Lei raised his battle axe and shouted, "Die!" Then he kept chopping at the enemy with great momentum.

The sounds of swords and axes were endless, sharp arrows cut through the sky, and the ground was covered with blood. However, the southern barbarians showed no intention of retreating and rushed forward in waves.

Lin Yuehong and Li Lei were surrounded by a group of barbarians. They stood back to back, staring closely at the barbarians in front of them who were eager to try.

"General! I'm fighting my way out of this bloody situation. You should hurry back to the city!"

Lin Yuehong's eyes were firm, without a trace of retreat, "I will never abandon you, we must die together!"

"Good! I, Li Lei, will die without regrets for having served under Zhonglangzhong for such a long time!" His face was covered in blood and he laughed, "You bastards! Grandpa will show you what's happening today!" After that, he rushed forward and chopped the barbarian in front of him fiercely.

With the coordination of long swords and battle axes, several barbarians fell to the ground one after another, but more and more enemies were coming towards them. The two kept dodging and leaving their backs to each other.

When Lin Mingqian and Pei Yanli arrived, many barbarians had already climbed up the city wall and were fighting hard to kill the enemy.

Lin Mingqian drew his sword and slashed at the barbarians.

Pei Yanli stopped Lin Mingqian's action and said, "General Lin, please go to the city to mobilize troops. I will guard it here."

Lin Mingqian had a complicated expression and said, "Your Highness, if something happens to you in Liangzhou, I will not be able to explain to His Majesty. So, I will give you the military token and you can mobilize the troops."

Pei Yanli shook his head and said, "I am not a coward. Everyone knows that the Lin family army recognizes people instead of military tokens. This is related to the people of Liangzhou, so please do not refuse."

Lin Mingqian gritted his teeth and said, "Protect His Highness!" He turned and went down the city wall.

Everyone gathered together to protect Pei Yanli. He said unhappily, "I don't need your protection. Go and meet the enemy!"

Everyone hesitated. It was not a good feeling to see their colleagues fall in front of them, but the general had just given the order for them to protect His Highness.

Pei Yanli tiptoed the ground and jumped up from the middle of the crowd. He came to the side of a barbarian, drew his sword and started to fight. The crowd wanted to surround him again, but they were tripped by the barbarian. They had no choice but to kill him first.

Blood and flesh were flying all over the city walls as the two gangs fought hard. Behind them were their respective people, and they could not retreat!

Fortunately, there were not many barbarians climbing up the city wall, and they were quickly killed.

"General Zhonglang! General Zhonglang!" Meng Daniu shouted loudly. He then grabbed a soldier beside him and asked, "Where is the General Zhonglang?"

"General Zhonglang has... left the city to meet the enemy."

Pei Yanli walked over quickly and asked, "When did the Zhonglangjiang leave the city?"

"It's been three hours."

Pei Yanli turned around and walked to the city wall and stood still. It was pitch black below and he could not see anything clearly, but the sounds of fighting below were getting smaller and smaller.

Pei Yanli felt something was wrong.

In his previous life, he failed to protect Yangyang's family! This time, Yangyang must not be sad again! Lin Yuehong, nothing must happen!
