    "My dear, I'm afraid there will be no less than two or three thousand people entering the valley, right?" Liu Hongji, who was wearing a set of iron armor, looked at the Jihu troops and couldn't help but click his tongue.  "It's a pity about those good horses. It would be great if we could get all these horses. Don't you think so, dear brother?" "The question is, do you think it is possible? Unless these guys all leave their horses far away and rely only on their hands.  Come and attack the city with your feet, otherwise, don't even think about it," I said angrily.  Yang Shidao and others were also snickering there.  However, Liu Hongji was very thick-skinned and didn't care at all. He continued to look at the Jihu people who were wearing simple armors. Many of them even wore Sui-style leather armors and iron armors. He thought that these armors should have been obtained from those  Many of the pieces peeled off the bodies of the defeated Sui troops could still be seen with damage that had not yet been repaired.  Groups of militiamen, one after another, under the orders of the commander and captain, have already been waiting on the city wall. The wall is wide enough and crowded with more than a thousand people. All long-range weapons have been distributed to those militiamen.  In the hands of the poet.  Bundles of feather arrows and crossbow bolts have also been placed on the city wall. Unfortunately, there are no catapults available here, so I can't let the militiamen use their weapons.  The crowded Jihu soldiers and horses stopped two hundred steps away from the pass. They took the lead and ran towards the pass. Speaking in a skilled Guanzhong accent, they demanded that the people behind the pass surrender immediately. Otherwise, all those who participated in resisting them would be killed.  People will be killed, and their families will be implicated.  It was very emotional, but after he spoke for a short while, an arrow knocked the iron helmet on his head to the ground.  Holding the hard bow tightly, Dou Queen Ying stood in front of the female wall with a valiant posture, pointed like a sword, pointed directly at the Jihu cavalry, and shouted sternly: "Waiting for Jihu, if you dare to follow Liu Jialun and cause chaos, you dare to do this again."  It's shameless to say If you want to attack, then come. But today is your memorial day." At this time, the militia members in the city who were shocked by Queen Dou's precise archery shouted as loud as they could.  got up.  Three victorious sounds made the canyon rumble, and everyone in Jihu changed their expressions.  It seems that Queen Dou is really good at bewitching, or maybe this is the motivational skill specialization.  It's not certain that this old lady has any hidden skills, but now is not the time to study this. My attention was completely attracted by the movements of the Jihu people.  The Jihu cavalryman fled back to the team in embarrassment, and then the Jihu army, which seemed to be humiliated and extremely angry, began to howl and charge towards the pass.  And the rain of arrows falling from under the city head was like a downpour, completely covering the road that was no more than three feet wide. In less than Yizhuxiang's time, the Jihu people could no longer hold on.  Hurry back and retreat.  There were corpses all over the ground, and the arrows stuck on the road and on the corpses were like the white reeds growing on the river bank.  The Jihu people launched three attacks in succession, but each time, they could not hold out for more than a quarter of an hour before they had to withdraw. Because of this ring-shaped pass, the attacking Jihu people were attacked on three sides, and they did not know where to go even with their shields.  Which block is more suitable.  And in just less than three hours, hundreds of Jihu corpses and those who could not afford to be seriously injured had fallen in front of the pass.  Every defensive victory will bring a burst of cheers, especially for those militiamen who have only trained for about a month. Such a victory will help greatly improve their morale.  But the problem is that the arrows are consumed very quickly. In these three hours or so, more than 15,000 arrows have been consumed.  One hundred thousand feather arrows and one hundred thousand crossbow arrows may seem like a lot, but these consumables are consumed too quickly. If the arrows continue to be shot like this, I am afraid it will take at most three days.  We can only defend the city by spitting.  "Do we have materials suitable for making arrows in Hancheng County?" I took off my helmet and wiped the sweat from my face. It was hot enough today, but I had to wear such heavy armor. I don't want that.  He died because of a cold arrow.  ¡°We have enough bamboo and wood in Hancheng County, but we don¡¯t have the flight feathers of eagles and harriers needed to fly arrows,¡± Han Xiong replied with a wink.  "Would it be okay to use chicken or duck feathers?" I rolled my eyes and immediately thought of these two types of poultry that are raised on a large scale in Hancheng County.  "This I don't know for sure, but I remember that there is a record in the book that arrows with goose feathers are easy to deflect when exposed to the wind, and the feathers of chickens and ducks are probably even worse." Han Xiong thought for a moment.  Then he shook his head and replied.  "It doesn't matter. Even though it's for defense, as long as you can hit someone, it's better than using knives and guns to fight with those idiots." I thought about it and decided to use chicken and duck feathers to make arrows.  This suggestion of my master is supported by Queen Dou. She also feels that long-range weapons are much more useful than melee weapons when defending at passes. As long as they can shoot dozens of steps and can penetrate into armor, they are good feather arrows.  .    Except for the first day, the desperate Jihu tribe launched seven attacks, each time throwing down dozens or even hundreds of corpses, and then retreated angrily.  Then, at night, I once wanted to attack at night, but even if it was a night attack, in such terrain and in front of such a pass, it still failed to achieve any effect.  Finally, those Jihu people retreated to the mouth of the canyon and were wandering around, seemingly trying to find a suitable road to invade Hancheng County from the surrounding area.  The path in the northern part of Hancheng County has already been blocked tightly with bricks and stones by my master, and special personnel have also been sent to guard the narrow passage.  If they want to pass through there, that is completely delusional.  "It's really boring, fighting but not fighting, running but not running away. I really don't know what these guys want." Li Yaoguang stood in front of the female wall next to me, waving the unsheathed Bailian Heng.  Knife, looks very bored.  She was wearing a set of iron armor. Because she didn't expect a war to break out when she came, she didn't bring the armor with her at all. Therefore, this set of armor was one of the armors sent to Hancheng County by the imperial court.  Wenjia.  Li Yaoguang has a tall figure. Although this set of thin scale armor is not tailor-made, it provides a comprehensive defense and is enough to deal with arrows.  Well, maybe because of Li Yaoguang's tall figure, he looks very stylish in everything he wears, especially when he wears a hunting suit or armor, which makes him look more like a queen.  Maybe if there is a chance, I should design a set of full-body plate armor for her. Well, a beautiful and luxurious full-body armor, coupled with her elegant and slender figure, it must be perfect.  In this way, at least the defensive power can be improved to a higher level, and the weight can also be lighter than the Mingguang Armor, because the plate armor can defend the whole body without overlapping, and the workmanship is not cumbersome.  "What are you looking at again?" Li Yaoguang glanced at me, shame, anger and pride intertwined in Qiu Shui's eyes. She liked that I admired her, but she also felt that I was too shameless, so she had such a complicated look in her eyes.  I laughed aloud and nodded in sympathy. This was already the third day. Except for the fighting on the first day, in the next two days, the Jihu tribe did not even get close to the 200 steps of the city wall.  .  After Queen Dou played here for a day, she returned to the county town. At least the Li brothers and sisters stayed. According to Queen Dou, troubled times are coming, and it would be good for them to learn more about the cruelty of war.  It was very irresponsible to leave my daughter and son here with me. As for Yang Shidao and Tang Jian, after seeing that the enemy was unable to break through the pass, they decided to stay and appreciate the scenes and cruelty of the war.  As for my sister, I have already persuaded her to go back.  ¡°After all, my sister is not a future general like Li Yaoguang who is extremely determined in character and will, nor is she a woman like Sister Qingxia who has killed many people with her own hands without changing her expression.  "Perhaps they hope to find an opportunity for us to relax and launch a sneak attack. Third sister, look over there. There are several silly sentries there, always paying attention to us." Li Shimin yawned out of boredom.  road.  "Just let them be stupid there." Liu Hongji said angrily.  For this kind of enemy that looks like brown sugar, one is really speechless. He fights and cannot win, but he still refuses to give up. He stares here eagerly all day long, like a group of hungry jackals, always looking forward to it.  Opportunity comes.  "My mother originally said that she wanted to go north to see the situation. It seems that she may not be able to leave." After returning to the barracks, he took off his armor and moved his arms. Li Shimin said quite happily.  "Is your mother going to the north?" I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat when I heard this. I remember that according to historical records, Queen Dou died in Zhuojun. Could it be that it was because of this year?  "My mother wants to see what kind of chaos this world is in." Li Yaoguang said.  "I want to see if this world can still be saved." Understand, Queen Dou may want to go around and see if the Sui Dynasty can survive. If it cannot survive,  Then, maybe it means that the time for Lao Li's family is coming soon, and she can avenge her uncle for a generation.  "Don't go. Not to mention our Guanzhong area, Hebei is even more chaotic than ours. If something happens, it will be too late to regret it." I quickly advised.  road.  "You brothers and sisters must also know about the situation in the north. Why don't you try to persuade her?" "I did persuade her. The problem is that we brothers and sisters can't persuade her at all. My mother has always been like this. Once she decides something, there is nothing anyone can do about it.  Even my father can't make her change her mind." Li Yaoguang curled his lips and replied, this answer made me speechless.  "However, with the chaos in Guanzhong and the attack on Hancheng County, my mother can't leave now no matter what happens." Li Shimin said with a smile.
