Xi Honglei nodded firmly.

“I have to go!”

Hearing this, Qin Wanqing stopped trying to persuade her, but her expression showed reluctance.

"Take care on your journey, big sister. If things are impossible, you need to return as soon as possible."

Xi Honglei nodded upon hearing this, her eyes full of reluctance.

But she still looked at Sun Ci firmly.

"General, please take me out of the city."

Xi Honglei said this as she put on her bag, obviously not wanting to wait even a moment longer.

Sun Ci didn't expect Xi Honglei to be so anxious. He thought she would wait until tomorrow night at the latest.

"Okay, Miss Xi, follow me."

Not long after, Xi Honglei rode out of the city on a horse.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse tonight. There are no clouds in the sky. It is a good day.

Therefore, even if you are traveling at night, you don't have to worry about not being able to see the road.

Half an hour later, before the second watch, Xi Honglei arrived not far from Juyongguan.

At this time, flames shot up into the sky in front of Juyong Pass, and shouts of killing could be heard from far away.

Xi Honglei's face changed slightly, and she became a little worried. She was afraid that these Silla people would attack them, and she was also afraid that Qi Shaoshang would be shot to death while defending the city.

However, Xi Honglei breathed a sigh of relief after watching for a while.

The soldiers on the city wall were all in black armor, and they were extremely brave. Although there were many Silla people, not even one of them could stand on the city wall for three seconds.

When he looked again, he saw that the corpses had been piled up in three layers below the city, and his worries were gone.

I took out the small mirror I carried with me and looked at myself. I could see her face clearly in the moonlight.

The next moment she walked to the foot of the hill and began to change her clothes.

She wasn't worried about being seen.

First of all, there was a big battle going on on the opposite tower, and it was a mile away.

Meanwhile, Silla, which was nearby, was attacking Juyong Pass with all its might, and no one would appear to be doing nothing and specifically come to this side of the hill.

What's more, she has the strength of the peak level two, and ordinary people can be discovered before they get within a hundred steps of her.

However, she didn't know that there were things in this world that she couldn't imagine.

At this time, Li Xiuzhu was on the city wall looking at her through a telescope.

Although he didn't participate in the fighting, he still had to take a look, so Li Xiuzhu came up.

When Xi Honglei came, she was wearing a white fur coat. Perhaps the Silla people who had their backs to her could not see it, but Li Xiuzhu happened to see it with his eyes.

It's so obvious that it's hard not to see it.

Li Xiuzhu was stunned when he opened the telescope, and then he started laughing.

Woman, come to Juyongguan at this time...

There's no way she can run away. It must be Xi Honglei without a doubt.

Li Xiuzhu just stared at Xi Honglei at the corner of the city wall, not paying attention to the shouting and killing sounds in front of him.

No one will attack this place, because Shangbing is the closest and it is difficult to attack.

Occasionally there were flying arrows, but there were shield soldiers to help him block them.

Suddenly Li Xiuzhu chuckled.

This woman is really good at disguise. The pretty look she had just now was not her real appearance.

Watching Xi Honglei removing her makeup bit by bit and then putting it back on, Li Xiuzhu smiled again.

It seems that this woman is aware of her reputation and is afraid that I will have bad intentions towards her.

You know what, it really does look much uglier after this transformation.

Li Xiuzhu was thinking so, and then he saw Xi Honglei start to take off her clothes.

At this moment, Li Xiuzhu admitted that his eyes were wide open and full of anticipation.

I've been out for more than ten days and I'm already craving it.

But then Li Xiuzhu was disappointed.

Not to mention, even if the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, it is not easy to be discovered, at least at night.

Li Xiuzhu watched Xi Honglei start to practice, and didn't look at him any more. Instead, he took two steps forward and looked towards the city.

"General, be careful!"

Li Xiuzhu nodded slightly and continued to look down.

At this time, the siege downstairs was still going on, but it was not as crazy as at the beginning.

It can be seen that the magnificence of Juyongguan has greatly reduced the morale of the enemy.

Jin Dakang didn't expect that the soldiers on the city wall were so powerful.

It’s not like he hasn’t fought siege battles with the people of the Great Zhou before. Although he knew that the soldiers of the Great Zhou were very good at defending cities, this time their strength was a bit outrageous.

In previous years, with so many soldiers killed, at least one round of attack on the city wall would have been possible.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

But more than 5,000 soldiers had died, and they hadn't even climbed up the city wall once.

It was as if there was a huge steel net lying there.

"General, I see the other side is on the defensive, should we still fight?"

Jin Dakang heard this and said, "Today is when the enemy is at its weakest. If we miss this day, it will be even more difficult to capture Juyong Pass."

“Keep sending troops and tell our kids that they can only go back if they open this checkpoint. Otherwise, they will die here. Let them fight to the death.”

The deputy general's heart sank when he heard this, but he knew that Jin Dakang was right.

"Yes, General."

The war continued to break out, and seeing that the defenders on the city wall were beginning to show signs of fatigue, Li Xiuzhu waved his hand.

"Let Captain Wang Guanfang take over the defense of the city wall, and let General Li go and rest."

"promise!"

Soon, Wang Guanfang's army climbed up the city wall.

Although Juyongguan is a strong pass, only three to five thousand people can go up at a time. After Wang Guanfang came up, Li Xiuzhu said, "If someone named Xi Honglei comes with my seal, put down the hanging basket and pull him up."

"Okay, you guys keep guarding. If the brothers are tired and haven't finished fighting by the time it's your turn, send troops to find Qi Chang to take over the defense."

"If the other side withdraws early, let Qi Chang's people come back at four o'clock to replace them."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guanfang nodded quickly.

"Your Excellency, please go back and have a good rest. Leave the rest to the three of us. We will definitely not let a Silla person in."

Li Xiuzhu was thinking the same thing. Upon hearing this, he nodded and walked down the city wall.

The county magistrate's mansion was located in the north of the town center. Although there were some shouting and screaming, Li Xiuzhu, who was a little tired, fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

Xi Honglei didn't expect that this battle would last for an hour and a half.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Jin Dakang withdrew his troops.

Looking at the soldier who died under the city wall, Xi Honglei couldn't help but be shocked.

She conservatively estimated that at least 10,000 Silla soldiers died in this battle, and she didn't know how many black-armored soldiers died.

But she was not worried because these people didn't even climb up the city wall and at most they would just shoot and kill some people.

After Silla sounded the drum to withdraw its troops, Xi Honglei waited until the enemy had completely left and then took advantage of the cover of night to sneak to the city of Juyongguan.

"Is there any general in the city?"

The guards on the city gate were startled by Xi Honglei's voice and thought they were hallucinating.

Why did I suddenly hear a woman's voice?

Am I getting mad recently?

But when they turned around and saw their comrade next to them also turning around, they were stunned and immediately realized that it was not an auditory hallucination.

The two men carefully held their shields and looked down at the city wall, and were stunned for a moment.

They saw a man in black at the bottom of the tower looking up. Seeing the convex shape of the figure, the two men immediately realized that there was really a woman there.

"Who?"
