Li Qinghuan

Chapter 116

He Li thought about it, if this matter was true, Great Wei would not be at a loss, and according to what Nasang Dan said, King Gu Ye was also on the battlefield, since he had the guts to provoke Great Wei, He Li would definitely Will not show mercy.

It's just that in the current situation, He Li is indeed a little bit hard to protect himself.

Relying on the large number of people, Donghu came in wave after wave, and the number of soldiers killed in battle continued to increase. It was not an option to go on like this. After thinking about it, He Li recalled all the people and sealed off Lancheng. No matter how provocative the Donghu people were, they no longer faced the challenge head-on, but just shot arrows down from the city wall.After carrying it like this for more than ten days, the bows and arrows in the city were exhausted, but Donghu's offensive did not weaken at all.

With an idea, He Li took advantage of the dead of night and sent someone to secretly pick up all the arrows that Dong Hu had shot under the city wall.It is perfect to use Donghu's arrows to kill Donghu people.It's just that they were discovered by the barbarians in a few days. Instead of shooting arrows at the city wall, they set up ladders and started attacking the city.

It was night, and the soldiers of the Red Wing Army repelled a wave of Hu troops and leaned against the city wall to rest.He Li didn't close his eyes for a few days, and he climbed up the city wall while the night was dark. When several soldiers saw him coming up, they got up to say hello.

"General."

"Brothers have worked hard, you don't need to be polite. I brought you some dry food, Luo Ran, share it with the brothers." He Li waved his hand and stared at the direction of Donghu Daying for a while, making sure that the other party hadn't made any moves yet. Then he relaxed slightly, sat down against the city wall, and stared at the bright moon in the dark night sky.

The soldier beside him took a big bite of the pancake, stared at his side face for a while, and asked in a low voice, "General, can we still hold Lancheng?"

He Li came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, and didn't know if he could keep it, but he looked at the wounded soldiers around him, and finally he couldn't bear it, and said: "I will definitely, I have already sent people to Yanzhou to ask for reinforcements , The imperial court has also sent reinforcements over, they can hold it."

Once General He died, He Li became the backbone of the Red Wing Army. He stubbornly endured the pain of bereavement, but in just a few dozen days, the soldiers often forgot that He Li was only a [-]-year-old. A boy of more than [-] years old already has the demeanor of an old general in his decision-making, as if he was born to be a war god who strategizes. Even under such a disadvantage, as long as he says he can hold on, the soldiers will believe him without hesitation.

He Li rubbed his aching forehead, turned to Luo Ran and asked, "How many arrows do we have?"

Luo Ran took out a crumpled notebook from his pocket, and looked at it carefully for a moment under the bright moonlight: "Less than [-]."

"Breakout is impossible, we can only wait for reinforcements."

Luo Ran licked his chapped lips, and nodded: "That's right, but now Xiliang is constantly increasing its troops to the border, and Lancheng is completely besieged, and the towers are about to collapse."

"It's not as exaggerated as what you said," He Li chuckled, reaching out to pat the wall brick beside him, "Isn't it still solid?"

As soon as the words fell, a stream of sand and stones fell down along the cracks in the wall, and all the soldiers present laughed.

He Li touched his nose embarrassingly: "Pretend I didn't say anything."

"General, it's windy at night, and you haven't closed your eyes for several nights, go back and rest."

He Li stared at the crumbling wooden eaves of the watchtower in a daze for a moment, then closed his eyes, "No need, I'll just stay here for a while."

Luo Ran nodded, and didn't bother any more, and leaned aside to study the tactics obediently.

"Give Qin Yang 5000 people, let her and Chen Zheng kill King Gu Ye." He Li closed his eyes, but still couldn't take a good rest, his mind was still spinning.

"What? 5000 people?"

He Li nodded wearily: "She can, this matter is not in a hurry, but no matter what Sang Dan said is true or not, that king must also die. This time we must clean up the Xiliang people and be honest, Na Sang Dan probably didn’t have any good intentions, so I thought about cheating some supplies from him to solve the current predicament. My grandfather was still too soft-hearted in his early years, so when the reinforcements came, I personally took people to level Xiliang.”

Luo Ran laughed: "Isn't this a breach of contract?"

He Li moved his neck, but still closed his eyes: "Break the contract? What kind of contract? You really think that Xiliang King is a good person? It's just that you want to use the hands of Wei to get rid of your confidant's serious troubles. If he really has So honestly, Xiliang won't come to join in the fun this time."

He Li kept talking about what to do next, but in fact it was a question of whether Lancheng could last until the reinforcements came. He was still worried, but he couldn't discourage the soldiers.

After all, Luo Ran has been with him for a while, and quickly understood his intentions, nodded and said: "This is unbearable, we must be subdued! Let them dare to make trouble again."

He Li raised his eyelids and gave him an approving look.

Luo Ran smiled, and continued: "The Donghu people have come out in full force this time. After this battle is over, they will always have two or three years of respite."

"Yes." He Li nodded and closed his eyes again.

After talking like this for a while, the soldiers relaxed a lot and started chatting.

A soldier suddenly said: "I found it really easy to live in the border."

"That's right, I've been playing for four years."

"After this battle is over, I want to go back and marry a beautiful wife, and have two fat babies, a son and a daughter. It is best for the boy to be like a general, brave and resourceful, and the girl should be gentler, but like General Qin That's fine too."

He Li opened his eyes and followed the voice. The person who said this was a round-faced young soldier who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, leaning next to an older soldier, smiling silly.

He Li said with a smile: "It's a beautiful idea, how about I call you daddy now, fulfilling your dream, and you can stay at the border?"

All the soldiers burst into laughter again, the young soldier blushed where no one could see, turned around and slammed into the city wall, like a mouse with its tail caught.

He Li thought of joking, and continued: "It's so easy to be ashamed, young man can't do it, how can you marry a wife like this?"

The young soldier turned around and whispered: "General, I'm only seventeen, don't worry."

He Li propped up one leg, put his elbows on his knees, leaned slightly, and said with a smile, "Seventeen is not young anymore. When I was your age, I wandered around brothels every day, and then gave myself a gift by accident. found a wife."

The soldiers beside him were shocked, Nahan said: "Daughter-in-law? Has the general married?"

He Li smiled mysteriously: "I haven't gotten married yet, it's just that, I must have him for the rest of my life."

A large group of men chatted about these children's love, but they all gathered around He Li, and even the young soldier came over curiously.

He Li leaned back and leaned back against the wall, with some sand and stones on his hair.

"General, isn't your wife beautiful? I don't know what kind of fairy is someone who is worthy of you?"

He Li smiled slightly: "Of course she is beautiful."

"The general has such a good background, I don't know which official lady it is."

He Li frowned slightly: "Who told you that you are Miss?"

"Miss?"

"..." He Li was at a loss for words, "Forget it, maybe you will have a chance to see him in the barracks in the future."

All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, before they could figure out what He Li meant, a flaming arrow suddenly flew over from the edge of the city wall.

"Hu Jun is attacking again! Close the city gate, and the archers will come up!"

"His grandma, these Donghu people will not let people live in peace for a moment!"

He Li stood up neatly, picked up a bow from the ground, drew the bow and set the arrow like flowing water without delay, and the arrow flew across the night, and accurately sank into the throat of a person who was riding a horse.

Lu Yi hurried up the tower with a group of people.

"General, get down quickly."

He Li remained silent, and took another arrow, shooting down a person not far away.

Lu Yi held him back: "General, you go down first."

He Li handed the bow to Lu Yi, turned around and went down the tower without insisting.He has to take the overall situation into consideration now, and he must know how to weigh the pros and cons instead of showing off his abilities for a while.

As soon as he stepped down a stone step, a corpse suddenly fell at the foot, He Li lowered his head and was stunned, his eyes were on the face of the young soldier who was still joking with him just now, his round eyes were still closed , showing half of the unfinished pancake in his arms.

He Xin's head shook, he slowly squatted down, and reached out his hand to close the little soldier's eyes.

"Feel sorry."

Luo Ran swung his sword to block a flying rocket: "General, hurry down from the tower!"

He Li took one last look back and turned to go down the tower. The next moment, the city wall collapsed.Luo Ran turned around, was stunned for a moment, and ran back desperately: "Lu Yi!"

He Li was also stunned, and ran back behind Lu Yi.Fortunately, only half of the city wall collapsed, and the place where the soldiers stood was still intact. Lu Yi was covered in ashes, and only two eyeballs were still spinning on his whole face.

Lu Yi spat out mud mixed with saliva, and cursed: "Why are you back? Hurry up and protect the general!"

"General Lu! The Donghu people are coming up on the ladder!" The soldiers in the distance shouted loudly.

Lu Yi turned his head and replied, "Go down, bring a group of people up, and throw stones at them! Don't let Donghu people enter Lancheng!"

"Yes!"

"Luo Ran, take the general down!" Lu Yi turned around and shouted.

Luo Ran nodded, turned to look for He Li, only to find that he was standing on top of the ruins, shooting the barbarian with his bow.

"General, let's go!"

He Li didn't move, and killed another person with an arrow. His face sank like water, his beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted, his clear eyes were full of determination to see death as at home, and there was a trace of... despair that was hard to detect.

"Luo Ran, go and send all the soldiers from Lancheng, the Donghu people are ready to attack."

He Li's eyesight was excellent, and he could see soldiers running out of the Donghu Camp from a distance.

He led tens of thousands of people to resist the 30-strong Donghu army's non-stop attack for more than 30 days. Now the Red Wing Army has lost more than half, its food, grass and weapons are exhausted, and the supplies promised by Xiliang have not yet been delivered. Lancheng had already reached its limit, and the barbarians also saw this point, and suddenly launched an attack, planning to take down Lancheng tonight.

"Yes!"

This time He Li didn't go down the city wall again, but asked someone to fetch the soul-killing gun, and led them down the city tower himself.

"All the soldiers of the Red Wing Army obey orders! I, He Li, will fight with you all tonight! Life and death are up to you! Anyone who dares to take half a step back will be punished by military law! Kill me!"

He Li tilted his head slightly, and finally glanced in the direction of Yu Ducheng, whipped his horse and rushed out.
