Jinghan didn't close her eyes all night. She cared about Zixuan and was even more worried about Wenxuan and Ziwen. Until the east side became a little brighter, Jinghan still sat on the kang and stared blankly outside in a daze.

"Madam, you haven't slept all night. It's very peaceful outside. You'd better sleep for a while. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the lady. She still has to feed her breasts. What should I do if you have to make a bad body?" Chuncao next to him stepped forward and persuaded.

Jinghan thought for a while, nodded, and did not take off her clothes. She just lie down with her clothes and gradually fell asleep. This sleep was not true. As soon as she fell asleep, she dreamed that Ziwen and the others were covered in blood, fighting with soldiers from the Northern Yuan Kingdom, and then she would wake up. After sleeping for more than an hour, Jinghan woke up.

The outside was already bright, Jinghan looked outside and asked, "How is it outside?"

At this moment, Zixuan came in from outside, "Jinghan, it's okay outside, you'd better have a good rest." Zixuan walked to the kang and looked at Jinghan and said, "The people outside the city have all entered the city. I'll send someone to settle them. Anyway, our city is large, so it's okay to settle tens of thousands of people."

Zixuan knew that Jinghan was worried, so he told Jinghan one by one. "I have sent people to Fuyuzhou and Hanzhou, and also sent people to Longzhou to report the news. When these places send reinforcements, our Xizhou dilemma can be lifted. In addition, I have just sent people to Zhenyuan Pass to ask General Li to take people back." Zixuan paused for a moment, and then continued.

"Concentrating troops to defend the city is much better than now. In addition, the young and strong people in the city and outside the city, we have about 20,000 people here. Although they are incomparable to regular troops, the number of people can be less than that. Moreover, the walls of the city are much higher than those there, and the food in the city is sufficient, making it easier to defend."

"In addition, I also sent people to the nearby Taonan County and Zhen'an County to prepare for them. Once the enemy attacks, they can also raid the other party behind their backs, which will make it easier for us to defend the city."

Jinghan nodded, "You haven't slept all night, so you have a rest, right? How was the city last night? Nothing is there?"

"Well, it's okay, everything is normal in the city." Zixuan smiled, "I won't sleep anymore. Now there are a lot of things. I have to go to the prefecture yamen to take charge. Once there is something, I can handle it in time." After that, Zixuan stood up, "You have to rest well. If it's okay, we will definitely get through it. Take good care of the children, take care of the mansion, and go to the yamen to find me if you have something to do." Zixuan said and left.

When Jinghan saw that Zixuan had left, she was really sleepy, so she got up. No matter what the situation was outside, she had to eat? Could she still not eat or drink? Then she fell down before the enemy could come.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it should have been a time of joy, but at this time, there was a sad and bleak atmosphere in Xizhou City. How could the army be in the face of the terrorists?

There are many free houses in the city of Zhou, and now they are all filled with people coming from outside the city. They hid most of the food in the cellar, and only brought a small amount of food with them, and even some money was properly placed. However, the only regret is that the livestock at home did not take them away when they left. After all, there is not such a big place in the city of Zhou, and it is really a burden to carry them with them.

In recent years, in addition to developing the economy here, Zixuan and his wife have also done a lot of things. One of them is to mobilize all the people near the border, and every household has dug a cellar. The cellar is very deep from the ground, and the place inside is quite large, and it can hold a lot of things. The exit of the cellar is different. Some are under the kang, and some are under the circle of livestock, with all kinds of things. Once there is something, you can hide the things at home, and then people can quickly transfer it. Even in normal times, people will put a lot of things directly into the cellar and then go down to get them when using them.

As there were too many people, I was afraid of disputes, so Zixuan asked people to pay close attention to the public security in the city. If something happened, they would arrest the troublemakers.

Zixuan went to the north of the city first, climbed the city wall, looked at the north and couldn't help but sigh. "I don't know what's going on in Zhenyuan Pass? Can they hold on until reinforcements arrive?"

At this moment, everyone guarding the city rested. With the support of reinforcements later, they persisted until dawn. The Northern Yuan army below was actually even more tired than those guarding the city. Those people came over long distances and started to attack the city without delay. After a night of fierce battle, the Northern Yuan soldiers were even more trapped.

The generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were helpless and ordered the siege to stop the siege, the army rested on site, and cooked in a pot. That night, the losses of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were also a bit serious. The key was that the mechanism guarding the city was too powerful, and many people died under the spear flying all over the sky.

"Damn it, why didn't we say that there was such a powerful thing here in our information? We could have won the pass in one go, but now? The pass was not captured, but there were so many soldiers killed and injured. It's really damn." The general of the Northern Yuan Kingdom was furious in the central army's tent.

"General, please calm down. After all, we have a large number of people. Let the soldiers rest for a while and then attack the city. I don't believe it. Can their mechanisms still be launched? There will always be a time to use up? The people in the city are also very sleepy. I believe they can't hold on for long." A side general next to him quickly persuaded.

The general nodded, "Okay, that's all we can do. Let's continue, move quickly, take a rest, and continue to attack the city."

The people next to him went out to pass the order quickly.

The general came out of the Central Army's tent and looked at the gate. When he saw smoke rising from the gate, he couldn't help but smile, "It's all flesh and blood, so I don't believe they are made of iron."

One hour later, all the troops of the Northern Yuan Kingdom had a full meal and had almost rested. The general ordered to attack the city again. So the horn of the attack sounded again, and soldiers of the Northern Yuan Kingdom flocked out and attacked towards the pass.

Strangely, this time, the mechanisms within the city wall did not launch again. The side general smiled and said, "General, their mechanisms are not easy to use, right? The last general said, where can we continue to persevere?"

The general also laughed and asked the soldiers to attack the city at full speed. This time the offensive was not blocked. The Northern Yuan soldiers quickly put the ladder to the top of the city and climbed up the ladder. Then the first person to go up turned around and shouted, "General, it's not good, all the people guarding the city have run away."

The general below was stunned, and then quickly brought people to the front of the gate. At this time, someone had already said that the city gate was opened and everyone entered the gate. Only then did they find that there was no one inside. There were only a few fires, almost burning, and there was still some charcoal. The general was furious, "We were fooled, they didn't cook and rest at all, but they all retreated. Come and chase me."

So the soldiers in the pass chased directly, while those outside the pass came in one after another and then chased forward. Unfortunately, after more than an hour of delay, even the shadow of the soldiers of the Great Qi were unable to see.

"The army set out and set out towards Xizhou City. They must have returned to Xizhou." The general ordered again.

So the Northern Yuan army set out towards Xizhou. Along the way, these Northern Yuan soldiers saw the village and thought to go in and get some benefits. But unexpectedly, the villages were empty, with only a few livestock running around. Some soldiers were chasing the livestock. "Catch that pig quickly, we will have something to eat tonight." One person shouted, and several people were chasing them.

If a few people do this, some people will follow you, so many soldiers will go to the whole village to find something. However, there is no grain in the village, and there are only a few pigs, sheep, etc. So someone will chase you.

The leading general caught fire when he saw this situation and ordered the army to move forward at full speed without delay. So the soldiers had to leave the livestock and continue to move forward.

After delaying this a little, it was even more difficult to catch up with the people in front of you. Zhenyuan Pass is seventy miles away from Xizhou, and the marching speed of these people was not slow. After an hour and a half, they arrived outside Xizhou City. Unfortunately, the gate of Xizhou City was closed, and all those who retreated from Zhenyuan Pass had entered the city.

The general was so angry that he screamed and ordered the attack directly. The side general next to him could not persuade him, so he had to execute the order. He shook his head. Although General Bater was a warrior, he was not the material for leading the troops. This man was an impatient person and a famous vanguard among the generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. This time, because it was a raid, the marshal sent him here to catch him off guard in order to attack the Daqi army. Unfortunately, their raid was not successful. Now they have arrived in Xizhou City, and they have obviously taken precautions. If they attacked so quickly, they will die.

But the person was the head of the company this time, and the people below had to listen to the orders. So the Northern Yuan soldiers attacked Xizhou City.

When the attacking soldiers were two miles away from the moat, suddenly some black things flew out from the walls of Xizhou City. The moment these things were about to land, they exploded, and the sound resounded through the sky. The explosion of the air waves made people's blood tumbling. The fragments after the explosion flew around, and many Beiyuan soldiers were injured by the fragments. For a moment, the Beiyuan soldiers fled everywhere, and no one dared to continue moving forward.

General Bartel was stunned when he saw this situation, "What is this? Is it a magic?" The thing was so powerful that he had never seen it before. The power of this thing panicked him and immediately ordered to stop the attack.
