Chapter 145 Ice City
Wrapped in a cloak, Shen Yuexi stomped her feet on the spot, persuading the dark crowd in front of her with good words.

"Fathers and folks, it's so late and it's so cold outside. You should go back and prepare to evacuate."

After discussing with Qiu Liming, she felt that there was no chance of winning, so she asked Qiu Liming to lead the soldiers to inform the villagers of Xiaogang Village that the enemy had prepared siege weapons and let the villagers flee to Baixiu Mountain overnight.

She also packed up and prepared to go down the mountain.

The night was extremely cold, Xi Rong didn't play tricks, as if he was waiting for dawn to attack.

It is impossible for me to learn Xiao Zhuo's way of winning more with less.The enemy had suffered from Xiao Zhuo before, and this time he took precautions in every way.

Once the battle started, people pushed the anti-arrow cart, and the sergeants hid behind the anti-arrow cart.Looking from the city wall, even a pile of two-story-high large wooden planks covered with iron sheets are pressing towards them, and the crossbow arrows cannot penetrate them. When they push under the city wall, the enemy will climb up the ladder and start fighting.

It is impossible to defend against [-] enemy troops with less than [-] soldiers.What's more, her universal manufacturing machine has not yet been fully charged.

If Xiao Zhuo was here, he would definitely be able to come up with clever tactics after having experienced many battles.But for her who has always relied on the power of science and technology, even her head hurts, and she can't think of any good way, so it's better to go.

As a result, as soon as she got out of the camp, she saw dense flames coming from the road below the mountain.

Qiu Liming went to persuade the villagers to leave, which seemed to have the opposite effect.

In this cold weather, even Lizheng ran over, and everyone came to the camp on the mountain, clamoring to see the princess.There is no other reason. The villagers firmly believe that under the protection of the gods, even if the enemy has siege weapons, they cannot break through the city wall.

"Crown Princess, our Xiaogang Village has the protection of the gods, and we will definitely be able to repel the enemy," Li Zheng spoke on behalf of everyone, "You also have to trust the instructions of the gods, and don't talk about retreating."

Shen Yuexi really wants to tell everyone that the god is actually her.

The problem is that if she said it, she would have to provide proof to convince everyone.But Big Bear hasn't started yet.

"The enemy army has prepared siege weapons, and our city walls can't stop them." She could only be persuasive, "Maybe the gods want us to evacuate."

"Impossible, the gods are all prophets, if they knew we would evacuate, why build a city wall," Li Zheng shook his head, "Besides, if the gods want to tell us something, they usually possess someone to tell us. "

Shen Yuexi couldn't laugh or cry.

In front of them are all the villagers who firmly believe in the blessings of the gods.It seems that in order for the villagers to believe in the will of the gods, she must perform it herself.

Shen Yuexi was a little embarrassed.

Inviting a god to get on his body has only been seen in history books. The possessed person has disheveled hair and dances, which is no different from a mental illness.

She didn't want to do that, she was not good at singing and dancing in the first place, and now if she had to bite the bullet and pretend to be a god, she didn't know how to dance.Acting like a fool in front of so many villagers is unbearable.

But if for the sake of his own face, the villagers were not evacuated in time.In the daytime, when the army of Xirong broke through the city wall, thousands of people would die.

In order to save everyone, I don't want to save face or anything.

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.She pretended to be possessed by a god and asked everyone to evacuate, and saved these thousands of lives, which became the ten thousand-level pagoda.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi made up her mind, looked around and saw a high platform made of slopes.

She had to stand high so that the villagers could see clearly.

"Lizheng, please wait a moment." After Shen Yuexi finished speaking, she walked towards the high platform.

As soon as she walked to the slope of the high platform, her feet slipped, and Shen Yuexi screamed and fell to the ground on her back.

Damn, misfortunes never come singly.Countless little golden stars flew in front of his eyes.

"Hurry up, go and help the princess up!" Li was anxiously commanding the women in the crowd, "Hey, the young man walks carelessly and doesn't look at his feet."

Several women hurried forward and helped Shen Yuexi up with all their hands and feet.

"It didn't break, did it?" asked this one.

"It seems that the back of the head was knocked, but there is no bleeding." That one replied.

Shen Yuexi gasped, covered the back of her head with her hands, and looked down at the slope.

Some blind soldier was pouring water on the slope, and it was freezing cold at night, but she didn't pay attention.This fall made my brain buzz, it hurts like hell.

Li Zheng ordered: "You guys, help the princess to rest in the tent. Let's see if we can raise the city wall by another level tonight."

Shen Yuexi raised her hand and said, "No, I've figured out a way!"

At this time, Qiu Liming also went up the mountain, and when he came near, Shen Yuexi said to him with a happy face: "General Qiu, quickly gather all the people who can be summoned, I have a way to defend the city."

Qiu Liming looked at Shen Yuexi in disbelief: "The mistress really has a way?"

He originally took Shen Yuexi to worship Xiushan, but Shen Yuexi changed his words and said that he could hold the city?

Shen Yuexi asked the women to get out of the way, and said to Qiu Liming:

"General Qiu, this matter must be done immediately. It happens that everyone is here and listens to my orders."

According to her order, [-] villagers dug the soil on the mountain, and [-] villagers were responsible for transporting it outside the city wall. The soldiers went down to the outside of the city in the dark and piled the soil into a large slope.The closer you get to the wall, the higher the slope.All of this must be done quietly without torches, and try not to disturb the Xi Rong army on the opposite side.

The villagers all followed the orders and started to work, Qiu Liming felt that Shen Yuexi fell stupid.

Originally, she thought that the city wall was not high enough, but Shen Yuexi even asked everyone to pile up soil under the city wall. Is this to let the people of Xirong climb directly to the city?

After Shen Yuexi explained this strategy to him, Qiu Liming slapped his thigh and raised his thumb directly: "Mistress, your strategy is simply too clever. Even my lord has never used such a clever strategy."

Shen Yuexi smiled and said: "Stop praising me too much, this matter is inseparable from the right time, place and people, and must be completed as soon as possible."

Qiu Liming said: "Don't worry, I have ordered the sergeant to dig the water source in the mountain, and I am continuing to transport water under the city wall. I will use torches to heat the water in the middle so that the water will not freeze."

There has always been a source of water on the mountain of Langya Pass. When there was no well in Xiaogang Village, the villagers used to get water here.Under Shen Yuexi's arrangement, the villagers and soldiers moved overnight to prepare for defense according to her plan.

The watchtower of the Xirong Army noticed the action on the other side and reported it to Su Mo Nai and Xiu Muye who were drinking in the tent in time.

"There are torches on the opposite mountain, as if they are transporting something?"

Su Mo Nai put down the wine bowl, and said to Xiu Muye, "What tricks are they playing?"

"Don't worry about it, general." Xiu Muye raised his wine bowl to urge him to drink, "It's so cold, drink more wine to warm up. They will attack after dawn. No matter how hard they try, they won't be able to summon an army."

"But I'm a little worried..."

"Hehe, it's nothing more than preparing some rolling logs and stones to defend the city. Xiao Zhuo has already used these tricks." Xiu Muye put down the bowl and cut the barbecue with a knife, "Xiao Zhuo is not here now, how big waves they can make."

Xiu Muye's ideas were always reliable, and Su Mo Nai felt relieved, and asked, "Have the ladders of the anti-arrow vehicle been installed?"

"General, don't worry, it has been installed long ago. With iron protection, even if the opponent uses rockets to attack, it is impossible to set the car on fire."

Xiu Muye chewed the meat in his mouth, and stabbed the knife on the table: "Just a little, with the ladder and iron sheet, the anti-arrow cart is much heavier, and it is slower to push."

Early the next morning, the cold wind was still raging, and Su Mo Nai was still sound asleep when he was woken up by the Xi Rong sergeant.

He and all the generals of Xi Rong left the camp, and when they saw the opposite city wall, they couldn't help being dumbfounded.

The city on the opposite side turned into a city wrapped in solid ice overnight, and under the city wall was a slope shining with white light.
