The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 354 Defending the City (3)

The members of the Xu family had already fallen asleep. Hearing the knock on the door, the servant took up a stick and guarded the door, and asked loudly, "Who?"

Xu Shoutu was so cold that he could hardly speak, and he shouted tremblingly: "I, your young master, open the door for me quickly."

The servant opened the door a crack, saw the young master who was wearing a quilt, and said "Oops", he quickly opened the door, "Eldest young master, why did you come back overnight?"

Everyone in the Xu family moved immediately, pulling people in, serving the stove, hot water and hot soup, and a guard was also arranged to rest on the other side.

Xu Shi also put on his clothes and got up. Seeing his eldest grandson rushing back overnight, he frowned and asked, "Has Xingzhou Mansion fallen?"

Xu Shoutu shook his head, his mouth was trembling, and he couldn't speak at all. Although they were sitting in the carriage, there was a stove, and they were wearing quilts, but the wind seemed to come in everywhere, and their bones were raw. It hurts.

Xu Shi stared and said, "Why are you running if you haven't fallen? You will die when the sun rises? In this weather, even a bear could freeze to death. No, it's so late, how did you get in and out of the city?"

Xu Shoutu's parents also ran over. They had already noticed Wu Jin on the side. Xu Shoutu was also a bachelor. He was speechless, so he looked at Wu Jin directly, beckoning him to explain.

Wu Jin is worse than Xu Shoutu. When he gets out of the car and enters the door, he is half-carried by the guards. He has never suffered this kind of pain since he grew up, but he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he asked tremblingly: "Old Mr. Xu, Shoutu Say you have a bow of ten stone?"

Xu Shi frowned and nodded.

Wu Jin's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "Then I wonder if the bow is still there?"

"It's hanging on the main room," Xu Shi said impatiently, "little offspring, what does this have to do with you fleeing back late at night?"

"Grandpa, we didn't escape from here."

"Mister, please save the people of Xingzhou Prefecture!"

The voices of the two sounded at the same time, but Xu Shoutu was displeased, and Wu Jinshi made a high-pitched request.

Xu Shi looked at the two of them like crazy, and said seriously: "I really want to save them, but I don't have the power to restrain them..."

"As long as you contribute that bow..."

Xu Shi stared at Wu Jin and asked: "Don't tell me, there is someone in Xingzhou Prefecture who can draw a ten-stone bow."

We must know that throughout the ages, only the famous general Chang Sun Sheng of the Sui Dynasty was able to pull ten stones. General Yuan was considered powerful, but he could only pull eight stones, and he was only able to pull it, but failed to hit the arrow.

"I don't know, but I have to give it a try." Wu Jin looked at Xu Shi eagerly, and said, "Old man, if Miss Mu can draw a ten-stone bow, Xingzhou Prefecture will be saved."

"Girl?" Xu Shi put away the excited expression on his face, and asked sadly, "It's a girl."

"Don't look at her as a girl, old man. She is very strong. She can carry two wild boars without panting."

Xu Shi expressed doubts about this statement, but he didn't argue with them, he just turned around and asked someone to remove the bow from the main room.

The housekeeper asked cautiously, "Master, do you want to take out the arrow?"

"arrow?"

"My lord, you forgot that the master gave the bow a box of arrows, saying it was for your head. That box of arrows has been left untouched in the warehouse."

Xu Shi twitched the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "Go and get it, and take it with you." It's been eighteen years, who knows if it can still be used? Xu Shi didn't have much confidence in the archer, so he was not in a hurry now.

The arrow was found, and when the box was opened, the arrow was still shining.

Xu Shi asked someone to change a horse, and added two quilts to the car, so he asked Wu Jin to be driven into the car, and then climbed in by himself.

The butler was taken aback, and suddenly wailed in his heart. The master was confused again, and the thought flashed through his mouth. The butler also wailed, and hugged Xu Shi's leg, "Master, you can't go, it's so cold! , can freeze people to death."

Xu Shi kicked him lightly, and angrily said: "Go away, the soldiers on the front line are still fighting, they don't think it's cold, why should I be afraid of the cold? Go call those guards out, we'll leave now."

With the steward's wailing, the whole Xu family was in chaos.

At this time, Jinbing's camp was also in chaos. The soldiers with injured eyes were still in pain after cleaning. When they opened their eyes, they could only vaguely see a short distance ahead. Dropped a lot.

And Jingzhao Mansion also sent an order, ordering Tudan to force the people at Xingcheng Pass to send out a distress message no matter what tomorrow, the damned Han people have captured Wuguan, and now they have surrounded the city of Jingzhao Mansion, and their reinforcements have been delayed arrive.

Tu Dan gritted his teeth and said, "Let everyone have a good rest. We will all go to battle tomorrow. No matter what, we have to attack the city tower. Even if we can't take Xingzhou Mansion, we have to force them to send out a distress signal."

Mu Yangling slept soundly. After waking up, he washed in a happy mood, tied up his hair, wore light clothes, and went out to sit cross-legged on the ground with the soldiers and eat meat buns.

A veteran said happily: "This is the best meat bun I have ever eaten."

A hundred households next to him laughed and said, "If we win this battle, I'll treat you to meat buns for a month later."

"My lord, that's what you said."

After Mu Yangling ate the buns, he clapped his hands and went up to the tower. Mu Shi had already been standing there, talking with some of his subordinates. When he saw his daughter coming, Mu Shi waved, "Ah Ling, come and have a look. All the water you poured out last night froze."

Mu Yangling walked over and reached out to touch the city wall. It was cold and slippery, and with a little force, there were ice scum in his hand.

"I'm afraid that their ladders won't work well. When our people pull them down, this ladder can be toppled, and other ladders can also be torn down."

Mu Shi then ordered: "Find someone who is brave enough to fight hard, and when the time comes, just squat there and wait for someone to climb halfway before knocking him down."

As soon as the words fell, the scouts came to report, "Mu Qianhu, the golden soldiers are already ten miles away."

"Ask someone to start preparing." Mu Shi turned his head and asked his daughter, "Wu Jin hasn't come back yet?"

"No, but I guess it should be about the same."

It is estimated that Wu Jin, who had almost arrived, was arrested by his family as soon as he entered the city gate. It was a guard who ran for a day and was frozen all night. caught.

Xu Shi, who was bearded and staring, was also seized by the prefect.

Wu Shancai had already sent away his first wife, grandson and daughter-in-law yesterday, and gave the concubine some belongings, and asked him to take his aunt to escape by another route. There is no way, the barbarians are too cruel, so it is better to go separately.

Originally, he planned to escape with the whole family, but if the eldest son didn't leave, he could only stay one more night, and he would be kidnapped no matter what.
