Pingfang City was once a fortress for Daye to defend against Beigao's attack. It was known as the "City of Golden Soup". After several ups and downs, there was never any sign of collapse.
Qi Zhongpei remembered that the last time the Pingfang city wall was repaired was twenty years ago, when he personally led the troops to repair it.
The city wall, which is about three feet high, stands on the vast yellow sand. The gaps between each brick and stone are filled with tung oil and lime mortar that he personally filled. On the towering city wall in the north, there should be something written in his own handwriting. The plaque of "Golden Soup Strengthens".
That was written when he was in high spirits.
Qi Zhongpei looked to the north. On the city wall that had turned gray due to the war, he could only vaguely see a few burnt black vines, which were swaying with the north wind at noon. Other than that, nothing could be seen. .
¡°Perhaps it was picked by people from Beigao.
Nowadays, the city wall is as strong as ever, and there are few traces of wind and rain on the blue bricks covering the outer wall, but his cheeks are already covered with lines left by the years.
Qi Zhongpei took a deep breath and looked at the towering city wall, seeming to think of his high-spirited self twenty years ago.
He repaired this city wall himself, so he should take it back himself!
Qi Zhongpei suddenly tightened the reins in his hands. Following an order, thousands of soldiers held their ladders high and galloped towards the city gate a hundred meters away. However, in the blink of an eye, the enemy's arrows fell from the yellow sand in the sky. It came from the sky, and a thin and dense rain seemed to fall between the sky and the earth.
Wang Huai followed Qi Zhongpei on horseback, carrying arrows and rushing towards the city gate under the cover of soldiers.
The gongs and drums buzzed in the eardrums along with the sound of the horse's hooves. The heavy armor on his body made him almost breathless, and he could only lower his head and cling to the horse's back. Soldiers continued to fall around him, but soon new soldiers came on their behalf, and he didn't even have time to see the faces of the fallen soldiers clearly.
Amidst the huge fear, even the joy of his first battle was diluted.
If it weren't for the protection of these soldiers, he would have had seven or eight blood holes on his body.
Fortunately, the water in the surrounding moat had dried up long ago, and the remaining ravines were filled with soil overnight by soldiers sent by Qi Zhan a few days ago. He and Qi Zhongpei did not encounter many obstacles when they marched towards the city gate.
The Beigao defenders had to open a crack in the city gate before they arrived at the city gate and sent soldiers to fight.
However, under the attack of Daye's elite soldiers, thousands of Beigao soldiers were no more than hitting a stone with an egg, and were soon trampled under the hooves of horses. The soldiers of Daye were greatly morale, and soon surrounded Qi Zhongpei and came to the city gate. .
Wang Huai couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, as long as the city gate is broken open, the city is attacked in one fell swoop, and the enemy army is wiped out, they will be victorious. And now that they are standing close to the city gate, even the enemy's arrows cannot hurt them.
Wang Huai was so happy that he seemed to be able to see himself returning in triumph.
But then, several barrels of transparent liquid fell from the sky, with a slightly pungent smell, which made Wang Huai frown slightly.
Is it water?
Pingfang City has been besieged for more than half a month, how come there is still water?
Wang Huai was just wondering when Qi Zhongpei's urgent cold shout came to his ears: "Quickly retreat!"
The loud sound made Wang Huai's eardrums buzz. Just as he was stunned, he saw a few fire lights in the sky. Wang Huai was shocked and turned pale. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly drove his horse to follow Qi Zhongpei, but turned around. In an instant, a two-foot-high blazing fire burned outside the city gate.
Some of the soldiers who were running slowly caught fire in an instant, and they could only roll and burrow into the sand. But the rain of arrows that came down followed them, and the burning men quickly fell to the ground. Unable to move.
The armor that was roasted by the fire quickly became scalding hot, clinging to the skin like a pan of oil, and even the inner clothes worn underneath were on fire, making people want to take them off.
Wang Huai wiped the ashes from his face and shouted to Qi Zhongpei: "Your Majesty, the Beigao people set fire to this city gate. We should withdraw our troops quickly!"
"Why withdraw?"
Qi Zhongpei looked at Wang Huai angrily. The armor on his body was a bit redder than Wang Huai's, but his whole face was as black as charcoal. His burnt beard curled up and covered his face, adding to his gaze. Terrible.
Wang Huaidang did not dare to speak.
Qi Zhongpei snorted coldly, turned his eyes, looked at the burned red city gate, and already had some concerns in his heart.
The city gate is made of fine iron, and even he himself is not sure that he will clear the city before dark.He left, shouting: "The prince will fail! The prince will fail! Go to the city to avoid the war!"
Qi Zhongpei's eyes were about to burst, his bright red cloak was torn by the flying arrows, the long gun in his hand buzzed with the vibration of the enemy's hammer, more and more blood was flowing on his legs, and the blood on his crotch was The horse also gradually slowed down.
The school lieutenant on the side stepped forward despite being wounded by the enemy's arrows, repelling the enemy troops around him, pressed the handle of his gun against Qi Zhongpei's increasingly leaning body, and shouted: "The general will escort the prince back to the city!"
Qi Zhongpei turned around, and in the yellow sand in the sky, he could vaguely see the childish faces of the soldiers beside him.
This seems to be the young man who went on an expedition with Qi Zhan a few days ago and achieved military exploits.
The young man¡¯s cheeks had been blackened by the charcoal fire, and his forehead seemed to have been slightly injured. Blood was constantly dripping down his cheeks. His entire facial features had long been unrecognizable from his original appearance, but Qi Zhongpei remembered these eyes.
Those were a pair of eyes full of fighting spirit and vigor. Through those eyes, he seemed to see himself in high spirits when he was young.
Fighting enemies as bravely as now.
He has never retreated in his life, how could he retreat now?
No matter how many plots and tricks the court makes, they can't compare to the excitement on the battlefield at this moment.
He clenched the spear in his hand, as if he had found himself twenty years ago.
"Don't retreat! Follow me and fight out!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
