Immediately after transmigrating, they were exiled, and the husband and wife of the last days ran aw

Chapter 124 The War Begins

A general replied, "The border city is built on the hillside, and the city is solid, but there are so many people in the country, I'm afraid it will be easy to open the gap."

After saying that, he felt a little depressed. He didn't know if the border town could be defended. If he had known better, he shouldn't have let his wife and daughter go to the border town.

Another general answered, "We have collected arrows, beaten stones and rolled logs from all over the city. There are 2 young and strong people in the city."

"But merchants in the border towns have frequent exchanges, and the people in the city even intermarry with foreign races. I am afraid that the enemy's spies have already sneaked in disguised as merchants and took advantage of the opportunity."

For a moment, everyone was strangely quiet.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the tent broke the silence.

"Captain He."

"Please report back, He Xuan has returned from Liangcheng."

When Deng Ming in the tent heard He Xuan's words, hope flashed in his eyes.

Maybe He Xuan can bring good news, whether it's food, grass, money or reinforcements, it can bring hope to the soldiers.

If old General Lin Xiong hadn't been sitting in the upper position, maybe Deng Ming would have run out of the tent to greet He Xuan.

For a moment, He Xuan walked into the tent meeting all the expectant eyes in the tent.

Salute respectfully to Old General Lin Xiong.

Lin Xiong looked at the junior in front of him with love. After all, his life was saved by others, and he should be grateful.

"You are Captain He Du, right? Seeing is believing."

He Xuan raised his head slightly to look at the old man sitting above him, with a more respectful expression.

He doesn't trust others just because of a nice word or two.

No matter before or now, we must be sufficiently vigilant towards people.

Lin Xiong looked at He Xuan who was standing below, "Does Lieutenant He Du have any good strategies to resist the enemy army?"

"This subordinate was outside the tent, and heard the generals' discussion. There is a huge gap between the troops in the city and the enemy. It will be a few days before Liangcheng dispatches troops. If there is no order from the Holy One, Liangcheng will not be able to send troops."

"And Fanbang's attack will involve all the strength of the country. Three days ago, we rushed to deliver the letter to Fengcheng. It took half a month for Kyoto to receive the military information."

"What's more, our situation is much more difficult than theirs."

When the other generals heard this, they all knew what He Xuan said, but what they wanted now was a good strategy.

He Xuan looked at the dissatisfied expressions of the other generals, but he didn't care. These people are all focused on defense now, but they don't have the heart to listen to him here.

He simply stopped pretending, and took out an ordinary ice block from his sleeve.

Looking at everyone's curious eyes, He Xuan also sent them forward carefully.

"I don't know what's the use of this." Lin Xiong was also quite curious.

In this kind of weather, the cold water can turn into ice in a short while, and it is very frozen. When the heat enters the tent, the ice pier does not seem to loosen at all.

"Returning to the general, this ice block is extremely easy to make. Not only is it easy to slip, but it is also extremely persistent, and Fanbang people like to wear sheepskin boots."

Having said this, no matter how stupid he is, he can still understand what He Xuan means.

Lin Xiong was overjoyed, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, he couldn't help but nod in his heart.

He is worthy of being the heir of that old man He Qingfeng, he has the smartness of his back then, and he has the tendency to be better than blue.

If his daughter hadn't gotten married long ago, he would have been unable to help but draw red lines for him.

"Lieutenant He Du, what a strategy." Lin Xiong couldn't help but praise.

Facing the general below, he ordered loudly, "Order all the soldiers in the city to find large pots from common people's houses to boil water and transport them to the city wall. Be sure to freeze the entire border city into an ice city."

The soldiers were in an uproar and gladly took orders.

For a time, the border town was bustling with people coming out of their homes.

The soldiers led the people to pour hot water from the top of the wall, and the hot water stretched for thousands of meters from the city wall.

In less than an hour, ice half a meter thick had formed inside and outside the city wall.

Lin Xiong, with the generals behind him, looked at Bingcheng in front of him and showed a satisfied smile.

It seems that they can resist for a while. As long as the food and grass arrive and the soldiers are full, there is no need to worry about driving these people out of the border town.

He Xuan looked at the scenery in front of him and gradually fell into deep thought.

He has already returned from Liangcheng, and the news that he sent the letter must not be hidden.

I have already returned to the border town, and the people in that country have naturally got the news.

These people are not just thinking about this and want to repay their pay. Naturally, the spirit of the soldiers is not high. Without food and grass, they will be dragged down by them sooner or later.

But now that the letter has been sent, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty will definitely send someone to solve it.

By then all their advantages will cease to exist, and they will definitely be restrained by then.

Therefore, these people must not be able to bear it, I am afraid that it will be in these few days.

Without the log, is there no water?

Without boulders, we have more water.

He Xuan directly sent people to collect the snow and have it poured. These ice cubes were very useful.

He Xuan and his people slept on the city wall to prevent these rats from creeping over.

The sound of drums is dense in the distance.

Everyone on the city wall was awakened, holding weapons and looking ahead vigilantly.

He Xuan's head is full of black lines. You're just a sneak attack, but you're still beating the drums arrogantly. What do you mean?

Forget it, you shouldn’t be thinking about this at this time.

Thanks to Bingcheng, otherwise these guys would have rushed to the door.

The sober soldiers reacted in an instant, thousands of rockets flew out of the city wall densely, and the black sparks flew towards the place where the shadow was.

The screams of misery continued.After a round of rockets, more enemies emerged from the darkness, and their killing cries were deafening.

The ice wall has become shattered in the attack after attack, the enemy charged again and again, and was beaten back again and again.

Under the city wall, corpses were everywhere, and people's wails were everywhere.

The firelight on the city wall flickered, illuminating the resolute faces. Outside the darkness, pairs of wolf-like eyes stared at the city wall.

Ha Zhuang looked at the dark enemy troops on the city wall with gnashing hatred. His son sacrificed his life for the great cause of the Fan Gang. As a father, he must avenge his son.

The drums became more intense, and the soldiers who heard the drums became more frantic and rushed forward like a tide.

The expressions of the generals commanding on the city wall became nervous.

"The log is ready."

Rolling logs and ice skates slid along the city wall toward the enemy, sweeping the already unstable enemy to the ground.

Ming Wu saw that the soldiers were beaten to death, their eyebrows were stuck together, "Pull the straw mat and break out."

In a few moments, Fanbang used his shield as a cover and quickly spread thick straw curtains layer by layer on the ice.

But the rolling logs fell on the city wall and knocked down another batch.

As time passed, Ha Zhuang became more anxious, looking up at the sky that was gradually turning pale.

More edgy in command.

The "Bump" catapult knocked pieces of the ice down, and Ha Zhuang took a look.

With a narrowing of his eyes, he led people to rush under the city wall, shot hooks to the city, and built a ladder. One person had his neck cut off and fell off the city wall.

"Prepare the stones. Smash them up and send them home." He Xuan commanded while setting up a bow and shooting arrows.

Shooting an arrow towards the man in the catapult in the distance, the arrow pierced the enemy's eyebrows, and the enemy fell unbelievably in the snow.
