Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 373 The Distressed City
Xiliang, within the city of Leshan County.

Before lunch, after inspecting the resettlement of the injured, Mei Dai rode through the gravel-filled streets with the Leshan County Sheriff, and said to the Leshan County Sheriff, "Is there any chance to repair the cracks in the southern city wall?"

The governor of Leshan showed distressed expression: "Queen, the crack in the south wall is too long, and the city bricks had to be dug out to fill it up. Last summer, it was soaked by heavy rain for several days. I was just about to arrange craftsmen to repair it, when Xirong sent troops..."

He really couldn't be blamed for this, last summer, he was gearing up to repair the city wall, but just in time Xiliang Wang Meicheng was defeated by Xirong and fled to Leshan County.The [-] Xirong army besieged Leshan. In order to defend the city, all the bricks used to repair the city wall were used to smash the Xirong soldiers.Later, Xiao Beiheng's westward expedition was caught up, and the battle continued, so this matter has been dragged down.

Now, with Xiao Beiheng's army besieging Leshan, the crack in the south city wall can no longer be repaired.

Mei Dai also knew the ins and outs, and said: "It doesn't matter, you were able to evacuate the people before Xiao Beiheng's army besieged the city. You have already done a good job in this alone."

The team came to the entrance of the county government office, and the Leshan county guard went to arrange the city defense matters. Mei Dai got off her horse, thumped up the steps, bypassed the fallen pillars and the stones all over the ground, and entered the county government hall.

In the messy lobby, Xiao Zhuo was wearing silver armor, looking at the map with his back facing her, and the helmet was placed on the corner of the table.Several generals stood aside and were talking in low voices.

"King An," Mei Dai pushed up the mask and walked behind Xiao Zhuo, "I'm back from inspection."

Xiao Zhuo turned around, first glanced at Mei Dai's expression, and said with a little disappointment: "Sure enough, the scouts still can't rush out?"

Mei Dai took off the mask and held it in her hand and said, "King An, don't worry, I believe sister Yuexi will be fine. Our top priority now is to defend the city."

Xiao Zhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "When the king of Xiliang was trapped in this city, and I led the troops to rescue him, I never thought that one day I would be trapped in this city too. But I just... I don't know if Yuexi is safe or not." Well, I can't calm down."

Mei Dai comforted: "Sister Yuexi is a strange woman I have never seen before, she will be fine. Besides, she has a thousand li horse, even if she loses the battle, she can escape in time."

In fact, she also knew that Xiao Zhuo knew this.As the only person who gets along with Shen Yuexi day and night, how could he not know Shen Yuexi's ability.But caring is chaotic, Xiao Zhuo can't get in touch with Shen Yuexi now, so he becomes a little impatient, but he doesn't know that he is the one who is in danger.

Xiao Zhuo clenched his fists and pounded on the table, picked up his helmet and said, "Eat something first, I'll go to inspect the city wall."

Mei Dai said: "I'm not hungry, let's go with King An."

She called Xia Lan and asked her to pack the food in a food box and bring it with her.Shen Lan, Qiang Lin and other generals were still arranging defenses on the city wall, and took them over to eat together on the tower.

Several people left the county office and came all the way to the city wall.

The banner of King An's army standing on the city wall had several holes, and it fluttered in the cold wind. There were piles of stones and rolling logs all over the ground. Build a campfire to keep warm.When everyone saw Xiao Zhuo and Mei Dai coming, they all stood up and greeted them.Xiao Zhuo said to the soldiers: "Everyone don't need to get up, just sit down and rest."

Seeing them in the distance, Qiu Liming strode over and said, "My lord, Queen, the enemy army hasn't attacked since morning, which is a little strange. They attacked happily two days ago, and they attacked four or five times a day. Could it be that they didn't attack?" Do you have strength?"

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly, put his hands on the crenel of the city wall, and looked down at the enemy camp with flags fluttering below. From a distance, he could see the shadows of the enemy camp shaking and busy.

After a series of battles, Xiao Beiheng still has 11 troops, completely encircling the small Leshan County.

The food and grass in the city can still last for half a year, but the force is less than [-].The most important loss happened when Xiao Zhuo learned that the border army camp was occupied by Tiefutu, and the enemy's [-] troops from the North Route came to attack his retreat.

Waiting at the same place is waiting to die, Xiao Zhuo made a decisive decision, forcibly pulled out the camp and retreated in front of Xiao Beiheng.Xiao Beiheng was no idiot either, upon seeing this, he immediately dispatched [-] cavalry to attack Xiao Zhuo's coalition forces.Without the protection of the barracks, the coalition forces were forced to fight bloody with the enemy.

In order to cover the retreat of the main force of the coalition forces to Leshan, Geng Hong led the Xiliang cavalry to fight with their lives, and almost all of them were wiped out. Geng Hong was almost surrounded by the enemy. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Mei Dai led Qiu Liming's five thousand crossbowmen in time. He hurried back and drove back the chasing cavalry with his crossbow.

Seeing Xiao Zhuo looking at the enemy camp, Mei Dai was about to persuade him to eat something, when a low-pitched horn sounded in the enemy camp.

"Is the enemy going to attack again?" Shen Lan poked her head out of the window of the tower, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, "I haven't slept for two days, even if I want to sleep for a while."

"No," Xiao Zhuo stared at the flags pouring out of the enemy camp, which were only the emperor's flags and capes, and shook his head, "It's my younger brother."

The enemy army lined up [-] troops, and [-] Royal Guards escorted Xiao Beiheng to a place under the city where arrows could not reach.

Xiao Beiheng wore a silver armored dragon robe, a belt of Yanque, and a horse named Wuzhao. He looked up at Xiao Zhuo on the city wall with a look of color on his face.After pausing for a while, he said: "Brother, did you expect today to happen?"

Xiao Zhuo said lightly: "Brother, are you referring to me or you?"

Xiao Beiheng's face changed slightly, and then he returned to his smile just now: "Brother, you are now surrounded by a large army of widows, and it is impossible to escape. Maybe you don't know yet, Shengjing even sent a small army of 5000 people A small army comes to your rescue."

Xiao Zhuo said: "Is it Feng Zhang?"

"It seems to be someone surnamed Feng, but the general under the widow defeated him and fled. You have no hope, why don't you open the city and surrender?"

Mei Dai said: "Xiao Beiheng, don't be quick to talk, if you have the ability, just come and fight."

Xiao Beiheng turned his eyes to Mei Dai, laughed and said: "Queen of Xiliang, you are also a hero among women, but unfortunately you followed the wrong person. You have done enough for my brother, and almost all of your Xiliang cavalry died in battle. Don't you still Do you want to persist in your obsession and live and die with the city?"

Mei Dai said: "Even if this king is obsessed with obsession, he will not join forces with a person like you who kills his father and has no king."

Xiao Beiheng's complexion changed greatly when he was told about his pain, and he forcibly suppressed his words: "At this point, the widow is sure of victory. If you open the city and surrender now, I will spare you from death because of the love in the past."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiang Lin drew his bow and swished an arrow, but unfortunately the distance was too far, the arrow lost its strength when it was tens of feet away from Xiao Beiheng, and stuck to the ground.

Xiao Beiheng remained motionless, glanced at Qiang Lin mockingly, and said to Mei Dai: "Do you want to meet someone?"

Mei Dai was originally calm and calm, but when she saw what Xiao Beiheng said, she hurriedly leaned out and said, "Is it Yunyan?"

A cruel smile curled up on the corner of Xiao Beiheng's mouth, and he pulled Wu Hao away a little.Two sergeants holding ghost knives led a heavily tied woman out of the queue and came to Xiao Beiheng's side.

"Yunyan!" Mei Dai cried out.

Not only Mei Dai, Xiao Zhuo also nervously grasped the city wall with both hands, saying: "No wonder I couldn't find it."

The tied woman was Ji Yunyan.Hearing Mei Dai's call, she weakly raised her head to look at Mei Dai, showing a painful expression.

Xiao Beiheng said with a smile: "I know that you have been trying to save her, so you brought your troops with you when you sent troops. But you can rest assured that I didn't make things difficult for her, and you will treat her with good food and drink."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Ji Yunyan: "Miss Ji, persuade your queen to tell her..."

Ji Yunyan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, she spat on him and said angrily: "Xiao Beiheng, if I can't avenge my grandfather in my life, I will turn into a ghost and haunt you in my death."

Xiao Beiheng dusted off his battle robe calmly, stopped talking to Ji Yunyan, raised his head and said to Xiao Zhuo and Mei Dai on the city wall:

"Brother, Ji Yunyan is your teacher's granddaughter. Do you want to save her? We all know that you are very affectionate. Back then you were reluctant to kill even Xiao Kai. Now Ji Yunyan is in front of you, and her life and death are in your hands."

Xiao Zhuo's eyes gradually turned bloodshot, but he just looked at Ji Yunyan but didn't answer.Seeing the pain on Xiao Zhuo's face, Mei Dai gritted her teeth and shouted to Ji Yunyan: "Yunyan, this king will definitely take good care of your family. If you break this oath, Mei Dai will die without a place to die."

Ji Yunyan smiled sadly and said, "Queen, thank you very much."

As soon as the word "了" came out, she suddenly turned around and kicked. The executioner behind her thought she was weak and defenseless, and was swept down on the spot.Then she raised her knee and knocked another sergeant down to his knees covering his stomach, even dropping the ghost knife in his hand to the ground.

Ji Yunyan snapped her arms, breaking the rope on her body, and was about to reach out to snatch the ghost knife on the ground, when Xiao Beiheng stabbed her with a sword from behind, piercing her heart on the spot.

"Miss Ji!"

"Yunyan!"

Xiao Zhuo and Mei Dai exclaimed successively.Many soldiers on both sides were stunned by this sudden change.

Xiao Beiheng drew back the Yan Que Sword, no longer looked at Ji Yunyan who was lying on the ground, turned his horse's head and said coldly: "Return to the camp."
