The stench spread immediately, and the enemy soldiers pushing the carts under the city were drenched, their movements froze, and the sound of retching kept coming and going.

Hearing the sound of banging on the door pause, Ye Youqing also covered his mouth and nose, and beckoned again, and another wooden bucket was brought over, this time it was filled with boiling water, and before the enemy troops below could react, he poured it on his head Down.

This time there was a more tragic roar of pain. Some of the people below fell to the ground, and some ran in all directions.

The dung and boiling water can cause the enemy to be infected by the dung after being scalded. Although it cannot directly cause death, it is a slow way to kill.

"Damn it!" All the people in the distance saw this scene, and were so angry that they grabbed the bows of the soldiers around them, aimed at the heads on the city wall, and drew the bowstrings full.

With a bang, the arrow passed by the ear, and a man beside him was shot in the right chest, and fell silently. Seeing this, Ye Youqing opened his eyes wide, watching others drag him down the city wall.

She closed her eyes, then Ling Ran opened them again, picked up the bow and arrow dropped by the man, stretched it out from the crenel, and pointed it at the dark crowd below.

Her hands trembled a little.

Occasionally, someone fell down beside him, and the bloody smell permeated the surroundings, mixed with the sluggish grass and trees in autumn, wrapping the leaves still.

Her red lips were tightly closed, and her phoenix eyes were trying to open wide under the strong wind of the city wall, gradually suppressing the trembling in her hands.

Perhaps she should be more cowardly, and leave with her loved one, so that she won't see such disappointed eyes in her eyes, I'm afraid she has already disappointed herself, Ye Youqing suddenly thought on the city wall where corpses kept lying around.

If I had known this earlier, if I could, I really wanted to become stronger. I could no longer just take her away, but help her avenge her, help her gain a firm foothold in the capital, and take back everything.

But now... Ye Youqing looked under the city wall, and suddenly pulled the bowstring to the full, and the longbow seemed to be broken in her hand.

She once believed in some words and felt that man could conquer the sky, but looking back on the journey, she was just wandering in the fate, where the waves pushed her, she could only go there.

She suddenly missed Ci Ke very much, more than ever.

The arrow in her hand flew out into the air and shot into the scattered crowd, as if it had been hit, and she could see someone fall down.

This siege lasted for a whole night. It was not until the sky broke through the sky and the sun broke through the mountains that the ant-like enemy troops below began to become clear, and then they retreated in an orderly manner.

Only a pile of corpses was left, lying quietly under the new rising sun.

Ye Youqing's arm was sore, she didn't take a second look, she turned around and walked down the city wall followed by Ding Cheng, the street was deserted, but many people secretly watched through the windows, watching the cavalry lift the wounded into the dust-covered place for a long time. Sirong Palace.

Fortunately, with the protection of the city wall, there were not many dead, and more were wounded. They couldn't fit in the house, so they were evenly placed in the courtyard of the palace, and the wounds were bandaged in turn.

Moaning and groaning in the yard, Ye Youqing personally served them meat porridge, and the injured thanked them repeatedly. After seeing that they were all well, Ye Youqing entered the house, slumped on the armchair, was so tired that he just wanted to close his eyes and leave. sleep.

The door opened, and the same exhausted Shi Li walked in. She turned around and closed the door, looked at Ye Youqing reproachfully, and put a few buns on the table.

Ye Youqing picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Why did you beat her all night? Can you stand it?" Shili said, putting his hand on her arm and stroking it, "The flesh is so stiff, sleep later, you will be in pain when you wake up." of."

"Defending the city is a psychological warfare. If I hadn't stayed by their side, morale would have been destroyed." Ye Youqing said weakly, she choked a little, reached out and touched a bowl of herbal tea to drink down.

"This is an isolated city, I don't know when reinforcements will come." Shili said melancholy, "We don't have too many weapons and arrows are far from enough. What should we do if we don't see reinforcements tonight?"

Ye Youqing shook his head, then reached out and knocked on the edge of the table: "It doesn't matter if you don't have enough arrows, I changed tactics tonight."

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the door, Ye Youqing drank the last sip of herbal tea, opened the door with Shili, walked all the way through the courtyard to the gate, and saw many people standing outside the door, Ding Cheng was blushing He stopped at the door, with a handful of scallions stuck in the front of his clothes and two eggs in his hands, which was very funny.

Seeing Ye Youqing coming, he shouted with relief: "Miss Ye! These people know that I am waiting to defend the city, so they want to send these. I..."

Ye Youqing stopped his words, and when he was about to speak, he was dragged away by a young man, and said happily: "Could it be that this girl is a descendant of King Sirong?"

Ye Youqing was taken aback for a moment, and without any further concealment, he nodded slightly.

She knew what King Sirong meant to Weizhou, and giving out his name could somewhat soothe people's hearts.

Hearing this, there was a burst of ebullition in the crowd, and there were people clasping their hands together, kneeling facing the sky, saying thanks to God, and the long street was blocked for a while.

"Girl, this is the chicken raised by the family. Take it to make soup for the brothers!" The young man grabbed the lively hen beside him and stuffed it into Ye Youqing's hand.

The rest of the common people followed suit one after another. Some sent vegetables and rice noodles, some gave chicken, duck and fish meat, and some barefoot doctors sent home-developed wound medicine, which was of great use.

Ye Youqing soon couldn't hold it in his hand, and Ding Cheng wanted to stop him when he saw it, but Ye Youqing stopped him with a smile.

"Since it's a wish from the common people, let's accept it, not to mention that we really need it." Ye Youqing said, and handed over the things in his hand to Ding Cheng, who were transported back to the palace by the cavalry behind him.

"Everyone, we don't want Xixia to occupy this city, so we defend the city here. However, the iron cavalry has been quiet for many years, and the weapons and arrows are far from enough. We still need your help." Ye Youqing raised his voice.

"Whatever the girl needs, it's my duty to wait, and I have to find it even if I travel through mountains and rivers!" The young man raised his arms and shouted.

Ye Youqing smiled at him: "You don't need to travel across mountains and rivers, just send the stones, jars, beams and other objects that can hurt people to the Sirong Palace, so that they can be used to fight off the enemy."

The common people looked at each other, and quickly turned around and ran away. After a while, a young and strong man came back holding stone vases, and put them one by one at the door.

Within an hour, a courtyard of the Wangfu was filled with all kinds of sundries. Some people tore down the beams of their own houses, smashed the stone lions at the door, and some even split the bed into several pieces and gave them away.

Ye Youqing looked at the pile of sundries in front of him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the strength he had just shed seemed to slowly fill up.

The day passed quickly, I recharged my energy, transported the "weapons" to the city wall, and then fell into the night after being busy. The city fell into dead silence again, but this time the dead silence was different from last night. Under the calm water, It seemed that the whole city was secretly boiling.

The old and the weak in the city hid in their houses, while the young and middle-aged formed a team spontaneously and mixed in with the iron cavalry. There were actually a few hundred people standing on the city wall in a dense mass, and their momentum was not inferior to that of the city.

The enemy army seemed to have reinforcements, much more people than last night, no longer lined up in formation, but rushed to the city wall with shouts, built ladders, and soon climbed up like densely packed poisonous snakes.

Ye Youqing looked down, and with an order, boulders and sundries rolled down along the city. At the same time, boiling water was poured down. Hearing screams, countless people fell from the sky like rags. Soft and silent.

This battle was different from last night, both sides seemed determined to die, knowing that if they were captured in the city, they would be massacred, while those outside the city knew that if they failed tonight, the army of Qi would soon encircle this place and reinforce Weizhou.

The people on the city wall came one after another, and Ye Youqing was shocked by the blood and corpses in front of her eyes at first, but after midnight, she only felt numb.

She kept waving arrows, or dropping heavy objects, and watched as more and more corpses piled up under the city wall, and finally rose like a hill. Later, people stepped on the hill to build ladders, killing everyone.

The sea of ​​people tactic is the most difficult to resist. Soon, someone climbed up, but was chopped off by the cavalry stationed on the wall, and thrown into the sea of ​​corpses under his feet.

The strong smell of blood and rust impacted his nostrils. Ye Youqing suddenly jumped up in front of his eyes. He pulled out the long knife from his waist and swung the knife to chop. , bringing out a long stream of blood, splashing all over his face.

Ye Youqing was stunned for a moment, but his body was moved faster by his mind, kicking him over the crenel, and he fell down and disappeared.

"Xiaoqing!" Shili came from nowhere, pulled Ye Youqing over and wiped the blood off her face.

Ye Youqing was a little dazed at first, she looked down at the long knife in her hand, the tiger's mouth that was holding the long knife was trembling constantly, and she almost couldn't hold the handle of the knife, she looked at her ten miles away, her eyes moved slightly, and she sighed.

"You have never killed anyone, Xiaoqing." Shili said softly, "Go down."

"Ten miles..." Ye Youqing lowered his eyes and saw that many people had already climbed up the city wall and were hacked to death one by one by the cavalry.

There was another movement in the ear, and Shili was about to raise his hand, but Ye Youqing raised the knife and pierced straight into the man's heart, then kicked the man out of an arc, fell into the grass far away, and disappeared figure.

Shili looked at the knife in Ye Youqing's hand in shock, then at her, and after a while, patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't be brave." She said softly, and then left.

Ye Youqing closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened her eyes again, all expressions had disappeared from her eyes. She stood there coldly, moved a stone to the crenel and rolled it down, smashing down a group of enemy soldiers.

"Miss Ye!" Someone jumped from the watchtower on a high place, ran along the city wall, stopped in front of Ye Youqing panting, and said in surprise, "Miss Ye, there are many torches on the official road in the south, and the sound of horseshoes It should be that the army has arrived, and we have defended it!"

Ye Youqing opened his eyes slightly. At the same time, the underground enemy army seemed to be aware of something wrong. With an order, arrows rained into the city from all directions. More and more people climbed one after another, and many people fell into the city wall , Fighting with cavalry and city residents.

Seeing that he was about to be unable to withstand it, Ye Youqing swung a knife and chopped down one person, and quickly said: "Open the city gate, leave some people on top to resist, and the rest leave the city quickly!"

"Yes!" The man replied anxiously, turned around to leave, then stopped, "That girl..."

"Listen to my command." Ye Youqing pointed to the city wall.

Hearing this, the man turned around and left, the order quickly spread throughout the team, and after a while, the city wall, which was full of people just now, became much deserted.

Ye Youqing waited quietly for a while, then took out a fire pocket from his bosom, moved along a corner, and suddenly heard a deafening explosion, like the crackling of firecrackers, the flames and crackling soon spread along the city wall, far away. Looking around, the city was full of flames, and the enemy soldiers who were climbing along the city wall heard the movement and fell in panic.

The flames soared high, turning the dark night sky into a red light, and the rest of the people stood still and dared not climb again.At the same time, with a rattling sound, the city gate suddenly opened wide.

The enemy army was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, a tall chariot full of steel needles came from the door at an extremely fast speed, pushing out a bloody path in the center of the enemy army, and screaming everywhere.

I don't know how many black-clothed cavalry followed the chariot and rode out, rushed into the line of tens of thousands of people in front of them, knocking the original line up, and taking the lives of all the people with just stretching out their long knives.

There were roars from the bottom of the city, and the fire on the city wall made people's cheeks hot. Ye Youqing threw down his long knife and rushed all the way up the watchtower. He saw the army from the south encircling the city like locusts.

In the light of the fire, the red and yellow flag of Qi can be clearly seen.

Ye Youqing pushed aside the sentinel, signaled him to put down the rope, and fell into the melee along the city wall. Then she picked up the trombone, and the thick and deafening sound of the horn passed through the night, shaking the blood-soaked mountains and rivers under her feet.

Under the night, the iron cavalry rode fast horses, split the army blocking the way, and rushed all the way into the distant forest.

Ye Youqing was dizzy from blowing the blow, she could already hear the sound of horseshoes and the horns of the two armies fighting, so she quickly dropped the trombone in her hand, and was about to jump down the city wall with the sentries, when suddenly several people climbed up in front of her. , surrounded her, and stabbed her with a knife.

Ye Youqing couldn't defend herself, her arm was chopped off, she didn't feel anything at first, she just raised her leg and kicked the person who injured her off the crenel, then bent down to dodge, grabbed the wrist of a person with her left hand, and turned aside with all her strength, waiting for him The long knife fell and let go to catch it.

After beheading all the people under the city wall, her eyes were already blood red, and the pain in her right hand hit her. She was in a cold sweat from the pain, and she slumped against the crenel, groping for the claws for falling.

A gorgeous long sword suddenly came from the top of the head, Ye Youqing raised his hand hurriedly, saw the long sword lightly raised its claws, and threw it down the city wall.

The sound of the battle between the two armies seemed to be far away from her, only the whistling of the wind could be heard in her ears, and some residual firelight illuminated her eyes.

Ye Youqing smiled suddenly, she wiped off the blood that was cut on her lips at some point, stood up with her back against the crenel, and looked frivolously at the person in front of her, that person was a young man wearing red-rimmed armor, with a red cherry on top of an iron helmet. Sui, frowning at her.

The face looks familiar, it should be when Beijing Zhong met her.

"Miss Ye." The man opened his mouth first, he retracted his sword with his backhand, and threw the sword into the scabbard with a thud, "Miss is injured."

Ye Youqing sneered, she tried to stand still, her phoenix eyes were bloodshot, a few messy hairs stuck to her cheeks, she stood upright in the firelight, and walked towards the stairs.

A jeweled hilt lay across her face, barring her path, while several soldiers, also in armor, surrounded her, chains clanging in their hands.

Ye Youqing looked at the chain for a while, then raised his eyes and looked at the man, staring straight at the man and looking away.

"Sorry, Miss Ye, this is an order from the Holy Majesty." The man sighed.
