Chapter 720 Lonely City

5days ago traverse Novels 2
The roaring cannons made Youzhou City tremble, the city walls were filled with earth and rocks, and the collapsed houses in the city were filled with dust.

The sound of artillery will silence in a while, and it is the case every day.

As soon as the shaking sounded, the people who were bulldozing the river outside would approach the river in a scattered manner.

Xiao Siwen doesn’t have to watch it and you know it’s this scene because there are too many repetitions.

Besides that, there is one more thing.

When Xiao Siwen heard the cannons outside the city stop, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Sure enough, after a moment, something round and like a grass ball flew over in the air. A large piece of ball rolled, and the hair was in the air like a tail wing.

Bangbangbangbangbangbang... On the roof of the ruins, the streets were covered with balls.

The Liao soldiers around were all bloodless because they knew what they were!

Xiao Siwen took out a white handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, looked down at a ball and a human head that fell in front of the horse!

The hairy and messy hair were covered with lifeless eyes, stuffed with mud and lime, and the face was covered with blood and blood, and the mouth was gone. The two rows of yellow teeth were exposed outside, as if they were terrible skeletons.

The air was filled with a bloody stench and the alkaline smell of lime.

Wow!Not far away, a soldier who was cushioning with straw to pick up his head suddenly vomited.

Useless stuff!A Liao general cursed.

Unexpectedly, the soldier suddenly ran away like crazy, shouting loudly: There is a ghost!Youzhou City is full of dead souls. We are all going to die. Help...

The guy was crazy and got crazy. He quickly grabbed it and tied it up to avoid disturbing the morale of the army!Someone yelled hurriedly.

Xiao Siwen looked at everything in front of her with a blue face and silently.It is rare for someone to be scared crazy, but the breath of Youzhou at this time is indeed very bad.

The ancient streets and alleys are close to the ruins on the city wall, and there is no one on the street. The heads of people are flying in the sky, as if ghosts are dancing in the blue sky and the sun... The key is the despair caused by the large number of heads flying into the city!

There is no need to control the rumors of so many young and strong men in Khitan!Seeing this is true, everyone understands that Yelu Xiuge's reinforcements have all been finished!

If you can’t see the lonely city of reinforcements, what’s the feeling of the defenders inside?

Xiao Siwen was a little lost and turned around to the Han official Fan Zhongyi and murmured: I have warned the Khitan nobles long ago... The Han people seem to be docile, but they are not sheep. They are most afraid of the Han people being cruel.

Fan Zhongyi was silent, and he seemed to have no idea how to answer, because he was also a Han Chinese.

Xiao Siwen thought to himself: For Youzhou, the blacksmith Guo could put the elite soldiers of the whole country in Hebei to fight hard; the Khitan was harsh intimidating people, but after 30,000 people died, could he still fight hard?

The emotion of failure surged into my heart, and Xiao Siwen felt extremely depressed.

In a trance, suddenly there were singing in unison outside the city. Xiao Siwen listened to him and could understand Chinese, the Great Zhou warrior, restore my country.The blood will not flow dry, and the battle will never stop...

It seemed as if a million people sang desolate songs in the distance, coming from the sky, everywhere, the horses under Xiao Siwen's seat moved and took a step back.

The Liao soldiers around him raised their heads and listened in a slanting ear.

Xiao Siwen rode his horse to the slope behind the city wall. The general hurriedly advised: Zhou Jun will set off firecrackers later, take care of him!

Xiao Siwen got off his horse and climbed up to the top of the city wall. Looking out, he saw that outside the city wall, there were people and horses, and the scene was extremely spectacular!

The faces in the distance were vaguely facing Youzhou, as if they were pilgrimage to this ancient city that had been lost for more than 20 years.

The four lines of singing were singing in unison in the crowd, repeated and repeated, like a grand spell.

Restore my country and mountains... I will never stop fighting...

After a while, boom, boom... Suddenly, a deafening sound rang out again, and the earth trembled.

A row of white smoke rose in the distance, and the cannon muzzles were sprayed with fire from burning gunpowder, as if the anger of thousands of troops!

Xiao Siwen was awakened by this huge formation and remembered the Han character he saw in the book. For revenge, Goujian could destroy the country with three thousand Yue Jia. In order to destroy the Huns, the Han Dynasty could destroy the Huns, regardless of the price, and the war was continuous for fifty years!

A hundred kilograms of round stone fell from the sky!Bang!Bang...Marines and stones splashed on the city wall.

The troops hurriedly surrounded Xiao Siwen and shouted: Protect the King!

At this moment, Xiao Abu Di shouted decisively: Send the king down to the city!That Abudi was Xiao Siwen's tribe and confidant. After hearing this, the troops pulled Xiao Siwen and forced him down from the top of the city.

Xiao Siwen went down the city wall and gradually became much more awake. He suddenly understood a truth in his heart: this battle cannot be fought!The Han people have to fight to the death, and if they continue to fight, they will seek death!

At this moment, the sound of cannons roared and rushed towards him. He was a Khitan man without a hat.

He ran to Xiao Siwen, jumped off the horse, bent down and walked to the horse with his neck hunched, and held up a note in his hands: The news conveyed by the deputy envoy of the South Court outside the city was seen by the king.

Xiao Siwen picked it up and saw that it was written on it. His face changed.

The order to go to Beijing was to defend Youzhou alone until autumn!

Xiao Siwen suddenly pinched the note into a ball, held it hard in the palm of his hand, and rode his horse away.

Maybe the people who went to Beijing forgot?

Guo Blacksmith also has a name called Guo Pocheng. Now he besieged Gucheng by hundreds of thousands of people. After destroying Yelu Xiuge, the Zhou army was in great spirit... How many months will it take to defend in such a situation?!

If Xiao Siwen announced the news, the generals would definitely scold the people who went to Beijing for having problems with their brains!

In fact, Xiao Siwen knew that the Liao Emperor and the nobles had no problem with their brains... He even confirmed at once that even if he could really defend the city until autumn, there would still be no reinforcements; there would be other excuses at that time!

When he returned to the South Courtyard, some generals from Khitan, Jurchen and Xi followed in.Xiao Siwen walked around the hall, not daring to tell them the news.

With the roar of cannons, Xiao Siwen was in a state of irritability and calmness, but he was too awake... He didn't dare to think deeply. If he thought about the long-term, the consequences would be too terrible!

Based on Xiao Siwen's understanding of the government of the Liao Dynasty, he dared to conclude that the Liao Dynasty would definitely not be able to decide between Youzhou and Zhou State at this time, and Youzhou would definitely not be able to defend it.

What should I do if tens of thousands of Khitans and servants from Youzhou?

What will happen when the Great Liao Dynasty passes through this great disaster?

What would happen to him, Xiao Siwen, when he went back?

Xiao Siwen believed that Shangjing would shirk all the blame for abandoning Youzhou on himself and let himself be a scapegoat!

For them, this is simply a natural way to do it!

Youzhou is a fertile land of the Great Liao Dynasty. Who can bear this responsibility?Xiao Siwen felt that even the king of the South Courtyard could not afford it.

Everyone looked at him, Xiao Siwen was speechless. He had no choice but to have such serious consequences as earth-shaking.

You all dispersed and each urged your subordinates to guard carefully.Xiao Siwen suppressed the shock in his heart and said to the people present. He couldn't help but remind Abudi again, asking your people to stare at the East Gate!Running out privately is also a death sentence, and it will harm everyone!

Abudi bowed and said: I will understand.

Xiao Siwen was restless in the South Courtyard until dusk, and the sound of cannons outside finally stopped.

In the past, he lived in the yamen without taking off his clothes at night because the war in Youzhou was very dangerous; but tonight, he suddenly wanted to go back and see his daughter.

When he arrived at the upper room of the mansion, his concubine Bai brought YànYàn in.

When Xiao Siwen saw YànYàn, he felt mixed emotions.

His favorite daughter was by his side when he was most desperate, but he didn't know whether it was a good or a bad thing.

Staying in Shangjing or Youzhou seems not a good thing... In this world, when the general trend is gone, there is no place to hide.

YànYàn immediately left Bai's side and ran over.

Bai knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said, "I will pay homage to Alang."

Get up, you don’t have to call yourself a slave anymore.Xiao Siwen looked at her with complicated eyes.He had to admit that he had never felt this way towards Han women before.

Bai's concubine was a little at a loss.

Xiao Siwen treated the Han people as his enemy, but he didn't seem to have much hatred in private... War is killing, and Khitan soldiers massacred the military and civilians of Zhou, and it is inevitable that they will die on the battlefield.

The enemy's heroes and my enemies are just like that.

Xiao Siwen instead had the courage and bloodiness shown by the Han people, and dared not look down on them.

The first time he looked at Bai Shi so carefully, this woman looked down and didn't look like someone who would resist at all.

Xiao Siwen felt a strange feeling in his heart for a moment: How could such a woman give birth to such fierce and fearless sons?

Bai is in his thirties, but he has white skin, tender skin, and is very beautiful. Otherwise, Xiao Siwen's subordinates would not have given her as a gift to him.

She looked very gentle, making people think of the beautiful mountain village and the virtuous woman who was a family-run woman. She had a quiet and down-to-earth atmosphere. This feeling was very special to Xiao Siwen, who had always kept the Bai family.

To be honest, I won’t blame you now, do you hate me?Xiao Siwen sighed.

A kind of patient strength suddenly flashed across Bai's gentle face. Her white teeth bit her lips, but after a moment, she returned to peace: I don't hate the king, and I don't know why I hate the king.

Xiao Siwen calmly said: We forced you to separate you from your family.

Bai Shi said: I have suffered this disaster, so I naturally have resentment towards the Khitan people.But the king treats me well. If it weren't for the king, I would have ended up even worse... We are a weak woman who is treated a little better and will remember his goodness...

Xiao Siwen nodded, feeling that this answer was quite sincere. You are a tolerant person, and I hope all Han people will be like you.

Bai looked at Xiao Siwen in confusion.

YànYàn grabbed Xiao Siwen's arm and his little face was pale.Xiao Siwen reached out and touched her head. As a father, he would find a way to protect YànYàn as long as he had a way.

Dad... YànYàn suddenly burst into tears.Xiao Siwen said nothing, she had already felt the atmosphere, she was such a spiritual little lady.
