Chapter 595: Xue Luo silently

Saiyue's call immediately attracted all the attention of both of them. She looked pale and her abdomen was covered with sweat. She could no longer stand on her feet.

"Yueyue is about to give birth!" Li Sihai bounced from the ground, held his head like a pig's head, and took Bo Shang Saiyue, gently hugged her and fell on the bed, and shouted outside the door: "Call Wenpo!"

The mansion was immediately full of chaos. Looking at the sister moaning and whispering on the bed, Boshang Saiyang wanted to come over and help, but was pulled by Qin Lei and said softly: "Let's go out." Then he pulled his stupid nephew out of the door.

As soon as the wife and the maid arrived, they drove the little fat out, and a group of women became busy inside.

Seeing Li Sihai coming out, Bo Shang Saiyang, who was full of anxiety, was furious and wanted to go up and beat people again.

Qin Lei had to hold him back and smiled bitterly: "At least, let's settle the score when the baby is born."

Li Sihai quickly went downstairs and said, "Yes, brother, let Yue'er concentrate on giving birth to a baby."

Boshang Saiyang's fist clenched loudly, and after a long time, he groaned: "Soon and later I will kill you!"

Three men stood in the yard for a while, Qin Lei suddenly felt a cold forehead, and his heart moved, and he looked up at the sky. Sure enough, he saw the snowflakes falling quietly, and couldn't help but clench his fists, laughed at the two of them, and said goodbye: "I'll leave first, don't forget to know when the child is born." He said that, regardless of the little fat man's begging eyes, he quickly left.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. When he walked to the door, he saw the snow falling like catkins in the sky with the pair of big red lanterns. He couldn't help but let out a long roar, throwing off the cloak on his shoulders, running to the street like a joyful moment, holding his hands towards the sky, feeling the coldness of Xue Luo's cheeks, laughing: "The heaven is beautiful! Tongguan is saved!"

Seeing someone going crazy, the soldiers who were patrolling the night came over to capture him, but saw the expressionless black guards around him, quickly changed their posture, while secretly stunning, and kowtowed, "Greetings to the prince."

Qin Lei laughed and left.

His joyful and loud voice echoed on the ancient city of Tongguan: "Pass it on, hold on to the last day! We can escape from danger!" With the spread of this sentence, the despair and frustration in the city were wiped out again. Although the war tomorrow will be even more tragic, we can finally see hope, right?

There is a saying that some families are happy and some are sad. That night, Zhao Wujiu slept very uneasy and got up several times at night. He only asked the guards the same sentence: "It's not snowing, right?"

When he heard the negative answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and lay down to sleep for a while. But in just half an hour, he would wake up from his sleep again and asked repeatedly: "It's not snowing, right?" After repeated five or six times, at midnight, when he asked another question, he received a positive answer from his personal soldiers: "Master, it's really snowing this time."

"Is it big?" Zhao Wujiu's voice immediately became hoarse.

"It's quite big, like salt." The personal soldier replied respectfully.

Zhao Wujiu no longer sounded. It was not until about three o'clock that the soldiers heard the sound of armor hanging in the tent. When they went in, they saw Lao Zhao wearing armor on his body. The new captain of the personal soldiers quickly stepped forward to help and whispered: "Master, don't you sleep for a while?"

Zhao Wujiu's old face was as gloomy as water. He did not answer his question, but ordered directly: "Send the order, the entire army will make food at the Yin hour and attack the city at the Mao hour, and there must be no mistakes!"

With the order of Yu Shenggong, the quiet Qi army camp immediately became lively. The fire-tou soldiers set up a large pot, added firewood, lit the fire hard, smashed the ice surface in the bucket, poured water and ice into the big pot, preparing to boil water and cook. From time to time, they could hear their discussions: "It's much colder today than yesterday." "Yes, there was no such thick ice yesterday." "It's going to be a disaster for siege today..."

At the same time, all the generals and above were called into the commander's tent. Yum Sheng Gong, dressed in military uniform, looked solemn and killed, without any light weight of the past. His eyes were like a knife, and he looked coldly at the generals standing beneath the steps, so that everyone could feel his strong will.

"Today's siege, we must decide one battle. If you haven't gained a foothold on the city wall before dark, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zhao Wujiu's pale hair and beard were automatically unsheathed, and the sword in his waist was unsheathed. A flash of cold light cut off a corner of the big case in front of him and said coldly: "This big case is an example!"

This is an ultimatum! All the generals were shocked, and no one dared to speak out for a moment.

"Did you hear it clearly?" Zhao Wujiu looked at everyone with a cold look. Everyone felt as if they were being targeted by a beast. They nodded in a hurry and said in a lingering manner: "I heard it clearly..."

"I can't hear it." Zhao Wujiu said in a deep voice.

"I heard it clearly!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Go." Zhao Wujiu's expression softened. After watching the generals go out, he whispered: "Please give me..."

The movements of the Qi army were soon learned in the city. Qin Lei quickly ordered his men to start cooking, and distributed the last batch of liquor for the soldiers to keep warm during the day.

Qin Lei patrolled the city with his hands behind his back. Seeing that Shi Meng could not wait to start drinking, he laughed and scolded: "Don't drink now. If you are drunk, who will fight me?"

"I have a lot of alcohol." Shi Meng grinned indifferently. The soldiers beside him cheered and heard this, "Prince, you don't know yet. Sister Shi finally gave birth to a son for us!"

"Okay, boy, I finally gave birth to a handheld!" Qin Lei was intrigued when he heard this, and rushed Shi Meng with his feet, sat with him on a military blanket, and said happily: "I'm just saying that things are only three." By the way, Zhuang Die'er's belly has not been idle for years. She has given birth to two daughters in a row. She was named Zhaodi and Yindi by Shi Meng. The purpose is self-evident.

Shi Meng grinned and said, "Yes, what the prince said is definitely right."

As a result, a bowl of meat soup and a roll of big cakes served by the chef, Qin Lei took a sip and said, "When did you receive the letter?"

"It should have arrived the day before yesterday, but someone only sent it to me last night." Shi Meng also took a bowl and poured it into his stomach happily. While smacking his lips, he said in a vague manner: "It was born on the ninth day of the 10th lunar month, with enough weight and looking very much like me."

Seeing his happy look, Qin Lei said enviously: "Look at your unrealistic appearance, has your child become famous?"

"I have thought about it, my nickname is Suozhu." As he said that, he found a red cloth bag from his arms, and glanced at him with a care, "The long life lock is ready." As if he was afraid of running away from his spiritual energy, he suddenly took back the cloth bag and grinned at Qin Lei, "If you want to give it one for a big shot, please give it to him."

"Yes," Qin Lei nodded and smiled, "But let me think about it first."

"No, no hurry," Shi Meng shook his head repeatedly and said, "This is the eldest son of my Shi family. The prince must think of a better one."

Qin Lei nodded, finished eating the things in his hand in a few bites, patted his chest hard, and said with a relaxed sigh: "Today's battle will definitely be extremely tragic, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, Prince, I'm already experienced and have no scars on my body." Shi Meng smiled indifferently: "I'll hide from me."

Seeing his complacent look, Qin Lei felt uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only say in a deep voice: "For your family, you have to look at me."

"I understand." Shi Meng still laughed.

In the city guard's mansion, people who had been waiting for nearly two hours finally heard a loud cry of a baby.

"Congratulations, I'm happy to have a son!" The maid ran out to report the good news.

"I am a father, I have a son..." Li Sihai was stunned and hugged his brother-in-law and kissed him regardless of his life.

Bo Shang Saiyang reached out and pulled it apart, and after pushing it out for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Go and take a look." Although his expression was still gloomy, his voice was obviously relaxed.

Li Sihai nodded happily and said, "Brother, let's go together!"

Bo Shang Saiyang was quite moved, but finally shook his head and said, "If you don't look, it's time to fight." After that, he turned around and walked out.

"I'll go to the city later." Li Sihai said quickly.

"Don't go." Boshang Saiyang stood up and turned around and said in a deep voice: "I don't want my nephew to lose his father when he was born." As he said that, he walked out without looking back.

Only a string of shallow footprints were left on the snow.

The heavy snow fell silently, dyeing the world into a piece of silver, but it still could not stop the bloody battle on earth.

The light of the day turned slightly brighter, and the Qi army launched a new round of offensive...

"Everyone, we will take down Tongguan City even if we die today." The generals and servants were hoarse and motivated the Qi soldiers who were lined up.

"Now the Qin army has suffered heavy losses and is exhausted. The soldiers cannot get rest, the supply cannot be supplemented, and the food cannot be eaten! On the other hand, we have a high morale and sufficient physical strength, and we have an absolute advantage in terms of number! If we don't take the opportunity to take Tongguan today, we might as well just hit the head and die on the city wall." This is a fact and reasoning.

"Brothers, as long as you attack the city wall, you will be rewarded with one hundred stakes and promoted to one level! No one will be rewarded with eight hundred stakes and promoted to three levels!" This is a naked temptation.

"Tell you that if you can't capture the East City Wall today, I will be beheaded by the general! But don't worry, before this, I will cut off all your heads!" This is a complete threat.

The generals took all their skills and finally motivated the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were ready to beat their hands and their eyes were firm, and they no longer saw the fatigue of just waking up.

A fiery golden lion flag moved from the end of the formation to the front of the formation, and under it was the Marshal's chariot of Yumeng Gong. He held the car railing with one hand and the sword at his waist with the other. The soldiers along the way looked up at Marshal Yumeng with respect, and he also looked back at them with the most solemn eyes.

Looking at the long and mighty formation, Zhao Wujiu couldn't help but feel aroused a lot of enthusiasm. He suddenly pulled out his long sword, raised it over the top, and roared like a lion: "For my great qi, kill..."

The soldiers around him followed him, holding their weapons high together, raising their arms and shouting wildly: "Kill..."

The soldiers from further afield heard it, and all the soldiers heard it. They all looked excited and raised their arms and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The shouts of killing rushed into the sky, shaking the sky, and the Qi army slowly approached the city wall.

Qin Lei seemed to have not heard Qi Jun's shouting. He stood on the tower with a blank expression, as if he was still as a mountain!

Infected by the commander, the soldiers also calmed down and looked silently at the enemy troops getting closer and closer.

The two sides were five hundred steps apart. The Qi army began to reorganize the team and transform into siege formations, cloud ladders, goose cars and other equipment were pushed to the front line. The soldiers in the front row had to give way out, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

The Qin soldiers stood neatly on the city tower, looking at the movements of the enemy, ready to join the battle at any time.

Just when Qi Jun was in chaos, Qin Lei slowly pulled out the sword from his waist and suddenly raised it over the top.

Suddenly, the eighteen-sided war drums were ringing at the same time, and the 40,000 troops in the city shouted a roar at the same time: "Huh...ha..." It was like the earth shaking, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked!

The roar came so suddenly, so fiercely, so thick, so huge, and swept everything between heaven and earth in an instant.

"Huh! Ha!"

The roars of tens of thousands of people are enough to make the most ordinary soldiers excited, no longer afraid, no longer retreat, no longer fear death, even if they face enemies that are several times more than themselves.

The soldiers of Qi army were shocked. The huge roar seemed to shake them all into pieces, which was a huge impact on their confidence.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. The soldiers still pushed the siege equipment, and the tide rushed towards the Tongguan city wall like a tide.

Today's battle is undoubtedly cruel. Because of the snow, although the Qin army wrapped the crossbow with a cotton cover, all the bow strings became very weak. The barely shot bows and arrows had neither strength nor accuracy, and could not cause damage to the enemy at all...

Fortunately, the bows and arrows in the enemy tower of the Arrow Tower are still effective, but their lethality is also greatly reduced. Even the sharpest feather arrows cannot break through the Shanwenjia of the Qi army officers, and can only cause damage to ordinary soldiers.

Only the huge catapult cart is not affected and casts stones all over the sky, which can still smash the Qi army into mud regardless of its high or low status.

But Qi army came overwhelmed with only twenty catapults, which was just a drop in the bucket.

The difficulty of leaning on the city wall was much lower than usual. Qi Jun set up all kinds of ladders, then climbed up with a scream, and changed the color of the city wall in a blink of an eye!

The Qin army had been waiting for a long time. Although the arrows were ineffective, the rolling stones and the rolling oil spear were still effective. They splashed the rolling oil, smashed the stones, rolled the wood with the beating and the spear, causing great losses to the Qi army.

But after yesterday's baptism, the soldiers of Qi army also gained experience. The leading soldiers held thick leather shields. Although they still could not resist the stones and wood, they were at least not afraid of the spears.

After suffering the initial heavy casualties, some lucky Qi troops had jumped onto the battlements and killed the city wall. Hand-to-hand combat inevitably began. Qin soldiers waved their swords and spears and drove a group of enemies down the city. But what was helpless was that more and more enemies climbing to the city, and the battle became more and more intense... Snowflakes were flying in the air, blood was splattering in the air, and the entire Tongguan had become a Shura field!

The battle entered the most tragic stage. The Qin soldiers smashed huge stones and fangs with fangs, one by one, one by one. Under this huge impact, the touch was knocked away. The lightest one broke his hands and feet, and the heavy one died, and no one was spared!

The city walls were covered with Qi army's corpses, and the whine of the undead was mixed with the fighting, which was particularly frightening.

The soldiers who climbed the city wall were almost all scalded by boiling water and hot oil, but they still rushed up like crazy and fought with the Qin army.

After the war yesterday, Qin Xu was promoted to captain, leading a thousand elite troops, wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades, and specifically calling on the enemy troops rushing to the city. From the morning, they repelled at least a dozen attacks of the Qi army, but the Qi army's offensive became more and more fierce, and they faced more and more enemies.

But the number of soldiers under his command is getting smaller and smaller...
