Chapter 355： Defending the City (4)

Tu Shan watched their soldiers fall to the ground with a livid face, and even the soldiers behind him threw to the ground, and the arrows on the tower fell like rain, he clenched his fists and asked, "What's on the ground? "

A soldier in front ran back in dismay and shouted: "It's ice, General, the ground is ice, very slippery."

"How come there is ice on the ground? It didn't snow last night..." Obviously, this is a masterpiece of the Han people.

"General, look at their towers."

Tu Dan looked up and squinted his eyes for a long time, only then did he realize that the tower was shimmering slightly in the sunlight.

"Their towers are also frozen, so I'm afraid there is no landing spot for the ladder."

The city wall was originally built of stone. As long as the ladder is in the right place, it will stand up very well. Even if the person on the tower pushes the ladder, it will stand up again after shaking it a few times. Life to bring down the ladder.

"The archers prepare, advance in an echelon, stacked in ten rows, and the shield in front of them resists, hold down the people on the tower for me, and let the people carrying the ladder go up." Tu Shan ordered with gritted teeth.

This is using his life to siege the city, but Jingzhao Mansion is in danger, and he can no longer care about it.

Upstairs, Mu Shi is also ordering, "The archers are ready, let me hold down their pace, and the trebuchet is also ready, as long as you enter the range, throw the stones down hard for me..."

Everyone knows that this is a life-threatening war. If they win, the Jingzhao Mansion may be able to win it. If they lose, the hundreds of thousands of people behind them may fall into disaster.

By noon, they had blocked Jin Bing's attack twice. Seeing that Wu Jin hadn't come back, Mu Yangling was so angry that his teeth were itching, "Why haven't they come yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three guards rushed forward with a bow and a box of arrows, and an old man trotted behind them.

"Girl, the bow and arrow are here."

Mu Yangling took the bow and didn't have time to ask them the details. He pulled the bowstring and felt the tension. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said directly to his father, "Dad, shout."

Mu Shi nodded and let people signal a truce before standing beside the tower.

Mu Shi went directly into the room, held the bow well, and slowly pulled the bow string away. As soon as Xu Shi came in, he saw her pulling the bow in a semi-circle. His eyes widened. Ten stone bows are drawn.

The    guard was also very excited, and quickly opened the box, "Girl, this is the equipped arrow."

Xu Shi hurriedly said: "This arrow was also made eighteen years ago, I don't know if it can still be used."

Mu Yangling took an arrow, folded it, and found it to be extremely hard. He squeezed the arrow and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the wood is a good wood, and the arrow is well polished."

Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Yangling sat on the chair to adjust his breath, looked at Xu Shi with a smile, "This is Master Xu, right?"

Xu Shi hurriedly nodded, "Little old man is really Xu Shi, the girl can really pull off Shishi's great achievements, she is really amazing, amazing."

"I'm just stronger," Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Master Xu, it's dangerous here, you'd better wait in the city."

"No, no, I'll just watch it here, the girl just go and do it, don't worry about me."

Mu Yangling saw that he was stubborn and did not persuade him much, but turned his eyes outside. At this time, Mu Shi had already spoken to the other party.

When Mushi called for the slogan of armistice, the Jinbing attack had just weakened a bit, because the ice on the ground was too slippery, causing his soldiers to fall and injured a lot, and the strong bow and arrow attack also destroyed the formation because of the trebuchet.

Tu Dan also wanted to know what he had to say, so he rode his horse and the lieutenant quickly stopped him, "General, you can't get too close, be careful of their archers."

"Don't worry, unless you have a large array of crossbow arrows, you won't have this range."

The lieutenant    also thought about it, the row of crossbow arrows is very big, and they can see it as long as it is placed on the tower.

"What do you want to say?" Tu Shan shouted loudly.

Mu Shi looked at Du Dan gloomily for a while, and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that his daughter was standing behind the scarecrow in the left corner of the tower, and said, "I want to say, how about we temporarily truce at noon today and have a full meal? ?"

"You play me?!" Tu Dan roared.

"No," Mu Shi also said loudly: "You and I both know that this battle is either your death or my death. Maybe we will all die in the end. We Han people have a saying, even if we want to die, we must be full of dead ghosts, so we Let's take a temporary truce and have a good meal before coming up, how about that?"

Tu Dan's face turned blue with anger, "You are procrastinating!"

It was the first time he had met someone who asked for a truce to eat in the middle of a battle.

Mu Shi was also very helpless, because after thinking about it for a long time, he could only think of this reason to call Tu Dan out.

So in the face of Tu Dan's accusation, Mu Shi said helplessly: "Then what can be done? Why don't you retreat directly, then I won't make this request."

Tu Dan's lieutenant felt that something was wrong, and he just shouted, "No." Tu Dan has already roared: "Fart!"

And an arrow shot out from the northwest corner of the tower. The lieutenant saw the arrow, and only had time to shout, "General!" The arrow had penetrated Tu Dan's eyebrows and shot directly into the chest of the guard behind him.

Mu Shi ordered at the same time, "Archery!"

The arrows on the city tower shot down like rain, the lieutenant could only hold on to Tu Dan's body and shouted: "Retreat, quickly retreat!"

Mu Yangling only felt that his hands were numb, so he leaned against the wall behind him and rested for a while.

Xu Shi murmured with trembling at the corners of his mouth: "It was shot, it was really shot."

Mu Shi has ordered all the cavalry to prepare, everyone went to chase, he only had time to push the straw away, grabbed his daughter's shoulder and said: "You come to defend the city, father to pursue."

"Father, don't chase after poor thieves."

"I know that Dad will take a detour to Hanzhong Mansion, try to drive people to the easternmost line, and don't let them go through Hanzhong Mansion."

Yes, they were defeated and left, and there was no one to defend the city in Hanzhong Mansion. They would definitely slaughter in the city again. Mu Yangling nodded, "Father, bring some more flags, and one branch per hand to confuse the enemy."

Mu Shi nodded, he had already rushed down the city tower, let someone open the city gate, and rushed out with people.

The retreating Jin soldiers panicked because of the death of the main general. When they heard the sound of hoofs, everyone ran away. Some people persuaded the deputy general to organize people to kill them back. Thousands!"

The lieutenant shouted: "There are 2,000 people ahead. We fought for a day. Why did their numbers not decrease, but increased yesterday afternoon? They have reinforcements, and their reinforcements have already arrived. What do the scouts eat? We don't know if they sprinkled water last night?"

"General, what do you think we should do?"

"Go back, we can't force them to ask for help, they already have reinforcements, the troops who attacked Jingzhao Mansion will not come back, we are wasting time here, we go back and attack the Han soldiers besieging the city from behind, maybe we can still Do your part to guard Jingzhao Mansion."
