Inside and outside the city of Danube, the sound of war drums and horns mingled together, which made the people in Danube panic all day long. They all closed their doors tightly, and the whole family was shivering in their quilts. In the streets of Danube, the prosperity of the past was lost, except for soldiers who were heavily armed from time to time running by, there were no more figures.
At the moment, outside the wall in the west of Danube City, soldiers in green armor are everywhere. Their faces are cold and they are holding sharp weapons. In the sound of drums behind them, they are approaching the walls of Danube city step by step. Among the green armored soldiers, the "Shu" military flag with black characters on the green background was flying everywhere.
On the wall of Danube City, Yan Duoqi, the king of Yan family, who is now the head of the kingdom of Nanman, is looking at the army outside the city with a sad face. In his plan, at most, he was attacked by Dachang, but unexpectedly, even Shu would send a large army to attack him. Shu state is one of the seven states in the south. Without the support of the latter Qin state, Yan Duoqi would have ordered Kaicheng to surrender.
Standing beside Yan Duoqi was Qi Huang, the vanguard General of the Qin state who led his troops to Danube the day before yesterday. Qihuang is dressed in the same way as before. Although his helmet is not covered with a mask, his face is covered with a big beard. Qi Huang held on to the wall with one hand, clubbed his huge mace with the other, and looked at the tens of thousands of Shu troops outside the city with cold light in his eyes, but there was not much fear on his face.
Yan Duoqi looked at the Shu army outside the city, which was nearly ten times as many as the garrison inside the city, and asked Qi Huang anxiously: "general Qi! I wonder when your reinforcements will arrive! Now the Shu army is under the city, and there are only 2000 defenders and 5000 reinforcements from the general in our city. I'm afraid it's not enough to deal with so many Shu troops? " Yan Duoqi said this more tactfully. He knew that these generals were more arrogant than others, so he did not dare to say that they could not defeat the Shu army, for fear of offending the general in front of him. He knew that Yan Duoqi was the only hope now.
Although Qi Huang is a martial arts man, he is not a fool. He can't understand the hidden meaning in Yan Duoqi's words. It's just that Yan Duoqi's identity is the Lord of a country after all. It's not good for him to leave like this when he is ordered to come. Even when he said coldly, "Your Majesty, the Lord, don't worry! The army of his Highness the fourth prince will come soon! Before this, Danube city will be handed over to Qi for protection! Fifty thousand Shu army, Qi has not paid attention to it yet! "
Qi Huang's last words raised his voice very loud. The roar spread all over the city. When the vanguards who followed him heard Qi Huang's roar, they could not help but clench their weapons in their hands. Qi Huang's words have aroused their pride as soldiers of the post Qin army, which can be said to have raised their morale to the top. Although the two thousand garrison troops were not the post Qin army, they were also affected by the momentum of the rear Qin soldiers around them. This Danube city is their home, and men's sense of responsibility for their homeland also makes them unable to fail.
Seeing Qi Huang's words, he raised the morale of the garrison which had been somewhat depressed. It can be seen that Qi Huang also has some skills. Yan Duoqi is somewhat relieved. Then he worshipped Qi Huang and said, "in this case, I entrusted the lives of all the people in Danube to the general and all the officers and men."
At first, he was a little disdainful to Yan Duoqi, but when he saw Yan Duoqi, he had such courage, he also changed some views on Yan Duoqi. Qi Huang's face slowed down a little, and he clasped his fist at yanduo and said, "please don't worry about it, your majesty! It's just that the city is too dangerous. His majesty still retreats to the city for a while. If Qi is there, he won't let an enemy rush through the wall! "
For Qi Huang's good intentions, Yan Duoqi just smiles. He stroked his white beard with his hand and shook his head with a smile. "Thank you very much for general Qi's kindness! But now that I am the head of the kingdom of Nanman, how can I sit and watch the soldiers fighting and hide in the rear alone? From today on, I will be on the top of this city. The enemy will not retreat, and I will never leave! Please rest assured, general Qi! I will never drag the general down! " Yan Duoqi can also be regarded as bold. This speech is sonorous and powerful, but it has a bit of heroic spirit.
Seeing that Yan Duoqi had made up his mind, Qi Huang stopped saying anything more and turned to look out of the city. Today is the first day that the Shu army outside the city attacked the city. The walls of Danube city are still strong, and the strategic materials in the city are very sufficient. Therefore, Qi Huang has the confidence to keep the Danube city for ten days and a half months. Immediately, Qi Huang yelled to the soldiers behind him: "the whole army obeys orders! Archer, step forward! Shield up! Long Gunners stand by
Yan Duoqi was also known for his self-knowledge. He had ordered all the garrisons to be led by Qi Huang. Therefore, Qi Huang's command was not only the reinforcements of the post Qin Dynasty brought by him, but also the 2000 garrisons obeyed his orders and made preparations at the head of the city according to Qi Huang's arrangement. The archers bent their bows and put their sharp arrows at the approaching Shu army outside the city. The bowstring was tight, and they were waiting for Qi Huang's order to shoot them out.
However, Qi Huang was not in a hurry to give the order of archery, because the time had not yet come. Although the Shu army outside the city occupied an absolute number advantage, it was unexpectedly cautious. Although the front rows of Shu troops were within the range of the archers at the head of the city, if they started to attack now, the killing power of the arrows would not be great. Therefore, Qi Huang was waiting for the Shu army to approach a certain distance, so as to give full play to the power of the city archers.However, the Shu army outside the city seemed to have understood Qi Huang's idea. When the Shu army advanced to a certain distance, it suddenly stopped. This move made Qi Huang on the head of the city stunned. In the middle of the Shu army's array, however, a passage was slowly separated, and dozens of cavalry slowly stepped out of the channel.
There were three people in the lead. The one at the front appeared to be in his thirties, but his face was white and he wore green armor. He hung a sword around his waist and held the reins in his hands. This man is not tall, and his figure is very balanced. Judging from his gentle appearance, he is a bit like a teacher. However, if you look at him carefully, he has an indescribable atmosphere, which makes people feel convinced.
Behind him, however, were two extremely tall generals. On the left, although there was no beard on his face, the scars on his face were densely covered with the whole face, which looked very ferocious. With his pair of annular leopard eyes and white teeth, which were exposed from time to time, he revealed his bloodthirsty temperament. He held the reins in one hand, but in the other hand he carried a long handle golden gourd hammer. The hammer was as big as two heads, and it should not be less than 80 Jin. However, it seemed to be tied with paper in his hand.
The man on the right is dark, with a beard, which is almost the same as black charcoal. His eyes are not much smaller than those of his left companion, but their whiteness is far greater than that of his black eyes. This pair of eyes stare at the past, which makes people feel somewhat strange. In his hand, it was a cooked copper stick as high as one person. Just the green veins burst out from the arm of this man holding the copper stick, which showed that the copper stick would never be much lighter than his companion's golden gourd hammer.
The cavalry who followed the three men, Qi Huang only saw at a glance that these cavalry were definitely the elite among the elite. The cavalry looked calm, but their eyes were full of hot fighting intention. Fortunately, there were not many cavalry, and now it was a siege, otherwise chihuan would not have the confidence to defeat such an army.
Although the three generals who appeared suddenly did not give their names, Qi Huang just looked down and thought for a while, and then he had already guessed the identity of the three generals. Needless to say, these three men must be the general Ying Bei of Shu army who led the troops, and his two legendary brothers, Liang Yun and He Yi!
Although Qi Huang was a young general in the post Qin army, his family was also a family of military generals. Compared with the big family of Wangs, Qi Huang was a little bit of a wizard. Qi Huang received regular military training since he was a child, and he knew the famous generals of various countries. Therefore, he knew a little about the story of winning preparation. Yingbei is a branch of the Ying family in Daqin, but his family is in the middle of the road, so he has been poor since he was a child.
However, Ying Bei was ambitious and studied everywhere. Later, by chance, he met two powerful generals with outstanding martial arts skills and became brothers of different surnames. With the help of these two brothers, Ying Bei gradually gained some popularity in the countryside. After that, Zhao Kaixian, the leader of the state of song, rose up and rebelled against the state of Shu. He led a large army and nearly attacked the capital of Shu. And Ying Bei also seized this opportunity to gather rural volunteers to help the Shu army resist several fierce attacks of the song army, which can be said to have made great achievements.
After the song army retreated, the leader of the kingdom of Shu praised the merits and rewards, and found out Ying Bei's Royal identity. Even if Ying Bei was granted a royal title and asked him to lead the army of Shu to defend Southern Xinjiang, it could be said that he was the first general of Shu state. In addition, Yingbei is a kind man. Both in the folk and in the court, Ying Bei has won the hearts of the people. Ying He, the leader of the state of Shu, has more trust in him. Therefore, in the past few years, Yingbei is under one person and more than ten thousand people.
