Chapter 55: Night Attack
A team of thousands of people can be said to be very eye-catching among the fleeing crowd, at this moment, this heavily armed army abandoned many things, only carried some necessities, on the day in the city, someone bought some supplies, and with the help of Lu Xiaoyao bought a batch of war horses, and then hurried on the road, they knew that this would be the most tragic battlefield, and they needed to leave as quickly as possible.
In the center of the procession is a carriage, the dark black carriage makes the whole carriage look a little weird and gloomy, but the metallic iron sheet makes the whole carriage look extremely strong, this kind of precious black steel as the main material of the utensils, usually used to forge some precious weapons, used as the frame of the carriage, is really a tyrannical thing, but if a royal princess sits in the carriage, it seems so reasonable.
"Sister Fina, how long are we going to go?" In the carriage, a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes was lying on a thick brocade mattress, although she was not very old, only seven or eight years old, but she could no longer hide her delicate facial features, as cute as a doll, it is conceivable that she will definitely be a beauty embryo in the future, but at this moment, the pale little face looks a little weak and full of a kind of sickness.
Next to her, a woman with short burgundy broken ears touched her forehead with her hand, and after feeling that the temperature was not as hot as before, she said softly: "In a few days, you will be in the capital of the East, this is a magical country, there will definitely be a doctor who can cure you." ”
The little girl is not very old, but she is obviously more sensible than her peers, and her face has an adult-like meaning of perseverance, "Sister Fina, what if my illness can't be cured by then?" The little girl's words were full of worry, obviously, she had tried almost all kinds of treatments in the long process, and before she fled, she was naturally like the stars holding the moon as a royal princess, what kind of life can't be found, come here, can it really work.
"Don't worry, Your Highness the Princess, there will definitely be a way. The woman whispered comfort, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Sister Fina, if I die, you must bury me in a place full of sunflowers, I am most afraid of the cold, sunflowers represent the sun, I think that will not be cold even at night, and also, sister, you must not go back to that place, we finally came out, with my sister's ability, we should be able to live well here." ”
"Don't say anything about Your Highness. The woman stopped as she looked at her little face, which was getting paler from talking too much.
"Sister, I want you to swear that you will not go back to take revenge. The little girl said stubbornly.
Seeing that the little girl insisted, the red-haired woman stretched out her left hand and said, "I, Filena Lorentes, swear hereby that if an accident happens to Your Highness, I will bury Your Highness in the Sunflower Garden in accordance with my oath and never return to the Saint-Ou Continent." ”
Seeing the other party swearing, the little girl showed a smile: "Sister, I'm hungry." ”
"Is our little princess hungry, it seems that I came at the right time. A man opened the door and squeezed in, and the car, which had been somewhat spacious, suddenly seemed a little cramped.
"Uncle Red Lotus. The little girl smiled sweetly.
This person was the man with the gun that day, and he was regarded as a great enemy by Lu Xiaoyao and Ximen Yan that day, but he didn't expect to have such a sissy name, but fortunately the two of them didn't know.
The man does not have the appearance of a master who does not eat the fireworks of the world, nor does he have a gun in his hand yesterday, and I have the domineering demeanor in the world, at this moment he is like a brother next door, his eyes are full of spoiling.
"What do you see here?" said the man, with a bunch of red things in his hand, and on top of them were small fruits.
"It's beautiful. The little girl was attracted by what she was looking for, and even the pain in her body seemed to be a little better.
"What is this, can I eat it?" the little girl couldn't put down.
"This is what I found in the crowd outside, and they seem to call it a rock sugar gourd?"
The little girl took a bite, and it felt sweet and sour, and it was very delicious. The two did not bother again and exited the carriage.
In Donghai City, more troops were stationed at the East Gate near Hailong Bay than usual, and Lu Xiaoyao and Ximen Yan were listening to the plans of a few blonde and blue-eyed people.
"The cannons of our ships, which can be dismantled and installed on your walls, are the meaning of our commanders, and it will be an eye-opener for you. One of the foreign devils said.
"On the ship, remove everything that can be dismantled, and then scuttle the ship, and do not fight them at sea, then you will surely die. Another added.
Obviously, the few suggestions they put forward were similar to what the city lord and others thought, otherwise they would not have allowed these foreign devils to point fingers here, although they were here to help.
As a result, huge carts were transported from the city to the seashore, and it was not easy to transport the cannons in a very short time, and there were enough people in the city. In the end, two days later, with the efforts of everyone, nearly 100 more artillery pieces were added to the city wall, and the remaining time was too late, so they sank to the bottom of the sea along with the big ship.
At night, Donghai City lost its former bustle and hustle and bustle, and there was already a curfew on the streets, knowing that there was going to be a war, everyone was panicking, and there were three times as many guards on the city walls as usual.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Xiaoyao and Ximen Yan were looking at the defense map of the city, looking for weak defenses. "If it is not bad as expected, the other party will come ashore tomorrow morning. Ximen Yan said.
"Donghai City is destined to only hold for a while. Lu Xiaoyao reluctantly said this fact. "The reinforcements from the three counties should be about to feel it, but I don't know if I can deal with it, and there is still no news from His Majesty's side. ”
"Let's go. Ximen Yan glanced at his old friend, pondered for a long time, and continued: "You shouldn't die here, you have more important things to do." ”
"Fleeing the night before the battle, make me a coward?" do you think it's possible?" said Lu Xiaoyao with a smile.
"If you don't die, my Great Han will inevitably add another transcendent grandmaster in the future, and then the confrontation with Zhongzhou will have another chance of winning, what's the use of staying here?"
"Ximen, I have been in Zhongzhou for so long, and I clearly understand the essence of Zhongzhou, and a transcendent grandmaster can't change anything at all. Lu Xiaoyao's expression was a little lost, and he said in a deep voice: "Maybe in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, transcendence no longer belongs to the scope of mortals, but it still can't work, as for reaching the holy realm, only then can you have the qualifications to talk to the whole world, and only then can you change the direction of the world with your own strength." ”
"You, have you seen the Sage make a move?" Ximen Yan said in surprise, you must know that in Dongtu, I am afraid that only the legendary academy dean can reach the Holy Realm, after all, these are all legendary characters.
After hearing this, Lu Xiaoyao seemed to remember something, and shook his head helplessly, obviously unwilling to mention the nightmare in his heart.
"Anyway, if Your Majesty has an arrangement, I want you to go back. ”
Lu Xiaoyao didn't speak again, but just clenched the wine jug in his hand and held the wine jug that had been with him.
In the distance, a fog rose again on the sea, and because it was night, it was even more hazy, and the moon hid in the clouds at some point, and the silver glow that had been shining on the city walls disappeared, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness, and the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was a night suitable for killing.
Some huge shadows could be seen in the thick fog, and when there was still some distance from the shore, hundreds of tiny black shadows broke away from the huge shadows and approached the shore by the cover of the thick fog and night.
"Boom-" There was a huge explosion in the direction of Hailong Bay, countless fireballs splashed around, dozens of figures were blown to pieces, and when they heard the sound, Lu Xiaoyao and Ximen Yan hurriedly came to the city wall.
"They came, faster than expected. ”
"There are not many people, it should be the scout troops, fortunately, the people of Hailong Bay were evacuated in advance, and a gift was prepared for them, otherwise I am afraid that there would be no one left. ”
"City Lord, the brother in charge of the investigation has returned, and he has lost his breath. A sergeant stepped forward to report.
"What did he say in the end?" asked Ximen Yan coldly.
He only said two words. The sergeant said with a slurp.
"What the hell did you say!" Ximen Yan was a little angry.
"He said, you, youkai. The soldier's head was already sweating, and he couldn't forget the scout's decomposing body. "My lord, you better go down and take a look, that brother died strangely. The sergeant said in a trembling voice.
Lu Xiaoyao and Ximen Yan glanced at each other and felt that something was wrong, so he asked the sergeant to take them to check. The scout was brought back by a horse, and at this moment he was covered by a straw mat, and Lu Xiaoyao lifted the straw mat, and a foul smell came to his face.
What caught my eye was a decomposing corpse, the body was black, and an arm was missing, the wound was not flat, but there were signs of tearing, as if it had been bitten and torn off by something, the most deadly were the five finger holes on the chest, almost all of which pierced the heart, and the finger holes were leaving black blood outward, which looked disgusting.
"What do you see?" asked Ximenyan, knowing that this friend knew far more than he did.
"Burn the corpse, and remember not to touch it directly, so as not to infect it. Lu Xiaoyao said.
Many soldiers around them watched in silence what was in front of them, waiting for the city lord and the mysterious man to give them some instructions.
"The enemy army has arrived, and instead of negotiating with us, they have retreated directly to Hailong Bay and killed several of the scout's brothers. Ximen Yan said loudly, at this moment he did not regard himself as the lord of the city, but regarded himself as a brother.
"I know that this may be the most difficult battle in our lives, but, throughout the ages, how many people can face the invasion of a foreign continent, as the first batch of men and horses to fight with them, there must be a place for us in the history books of the Han Dynasty, but now, let's send them back to their hometown!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" shouted in unison.
Ximen Yan's words boosted a lot of morale, perhaps to cooperate with them, in the sky, hundreds of black shadows flew over, as fast as birds.
