Chapter 238: Life and Death Are Interdependent
Luo Ning thought that a woman's heart was the most vicious and cold.
He watched her put on her battle armor, her black hair stood up, her long sword sheathed, faded from the feminine charm and added to her heroic spirit, and stood there, the wind blowing her cloak outside the battle armor, and she exuded a cold chill all over her body.
All the soldiers under Di Xingyuan looked at her with their heads up, without showing the slightest disdain and disdain because she was a woman. She is a natural leader of the army, standing so conspicuous and majestic among thousands of soldiers.
Even so, Luo Ning still couldn't agree with her.
The general is her lover and her husband, and she disregards the general's life.
He originally wanted to go to the prison of the Criminal Department with Yun Yao to save people, but Gu Tianlan mercilessly rejected him. He had only two choices, either to attack the city with them or to stay here.
Luo Ning couldn't choose to stand by and watch.
He also put on his armor and prepared to fight to the death, and he thought to himself that if something happened to the general, then he would kill a few more people to bury the general.
Gu Tianlan took advantage of the late night to launch an attack.
Gu Tianlan was familiar with the art of war, so he naturally knew that launching an attack at night was the best choice. The night can hide many things, and at the same time, the soldiers defending the city are tired, and the night is the time when the soldiers of the city are at their weakest.
The originally dark sky was suddenly illuminated by a bright light, and many soldiers were stabbed in the throat by sharp blades before they could wake up, and they did not even have time to wake up their companions.
"Someone is attacking the city!" finally someone shouted.
The defenders gradually gained resistance and fought with the attackers.
The fire spread at the city gate, illuminating the sky, and the blade shone with an icy light, slashing through it, bringing up a stream of blood, falling to the ground, seeping into the earth, the smell of blood permeating every corner, and the sound of pain came and went.
It was a very tragic siege battle.
The defenders looked at the hideous faces of the besiegers and suddenly felt that the enemy they were facing was the devil.
Wait, wait for reinforcements to arrive.
The defenders of the city held on with the last shred of hope.
Taihe Temple.
Li Yejin was pleasantly surprised late at night, and saw the fire in the sky, and it didn't take long for someone to report that someone was attacking the city.
From the moment Gu Tianlan disappeared from Ganquan Palace, Li Yejin knew that there would be today. Ji Yingshao captured Gu Tianlan because he wanted to kill her. But Ji Yingshao was not Gu Tianlan's opponent at all, and Gu Tianlan had many ways to escape from him. Sure enough, when he found Ji Yingshao again, Ji Yingshao had already turned into a cold corpse.
Gu Tianlan did not defend the city, but went to the prison of the Criminal Department.
Wang Yangyu was a little puzzled.
"Your Majesty, the city gate is very critical, why don't you go to the city guard, but go to the criminal department?" Wang Yangyu asked.
Li Yejin showed a knowing smile: "It's just a matter of hitting the west, I won't be fooled." They used the siege as a cover, but in fact, they wanted to rescue Gongsun Yi. I just need to stay in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”
Li Yejin placed most of Yecheng's troops in the Criminal Department.
While the battle was raging at the gates, the robbers appeared.
"Lan, no one knows you better than I do. But you treat Gongsun Yi so affectionately, it really makes me jealous. Li Yejin said in a low voice.
The footsteps of the people who came were very soft, and by the cover of the night, it was impossible to see how many people there were.
Li Ye listened attentively, and those gentle footsteps overlapped, and he couldn't tell how many people there were.
There are a lot of people coming, and they are all masters. Gu Tianlan put all the important troops here, it can be seen that the siege is all a trick, and it looks powerful, and he will soon be repelled by himself.
Li Yejin will never be able to understand their thoughts, and he would give up a city for the sake of one person. Although Li Yejin couldn't understand it, he really wanted them to do it. In this way, he will be able to take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses and play a beautiful victory.
Li Yejin led the people to lurk quietly, watching the prey jump into the trap step by step.
One, two...... Roughly counted, there were about a dozen people. Li Yejin waited for another moment, and no one came out of the darkness.
Gone?!
Impossible.
Li Yejin didn't give instructions, no one attacked, and everyone was still lurking.
The dozen or so people fell into the encirclement and did not sneak into the prison of the Criminal Department, but stood in place, as if waiting for something.
What are they waiting for? Li Ye couldn't help but be curious.
Li Yejin was in confusion, and those people suddenly turned around and left.
"Your Majesty, don't you attack?" asked the people around him, unable to hold their breath.
Li Ye squinted his eyes, he couldn't figure out the other party's intention: "They are tempting, and now that they are making a move, they are likely to startle the snake." ”
After waiting for a while, more people did not fall into the trap as Li Ye had hoped. The dozen or so people left, as if they had completely disappeared.
Li Ye couldn't help but get anxious.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, Yecheng City is broken, they rushed into the palace, and they have already occupied most of Yecheng!" someone stumbled and ran over, knelt down towards Li Yejin, and cried.
Li Yejin couldn't help but stand up, the expression on his face was stunned and frightened.
He was chilling. Many things flashed through his mind, and he finally knew what the man who had just entered the trap was waiting for.
They were waiting for Gu Tianlan to break the city.
They wanted to hold him back, making him think that the main force to rescue Gongsun Yi was still behind.
It was not Gu Tianlan who was plotted, but him.
Gu Tianlan's purpose was not to rescue Gongsun Yi, but to break the city. From the very beginning, he misestimated Gu Tianlan's intentions.
And he repented too late, the city was broken, and he had lost the opportunity.
Okay, Gu Tianlan, you're so good!
Li Ye couldn't help laughing, but the laughter was particularly terrifying in the quiet night. If there is light at this time, it can shine on his hideous face.
Li Ye looked at the people beside him: "Go and drag Gongsun Yi out!"
He looked at the light in the distance: "Gu Tianlan, since you have chosen Yecheng, then I will kill Gongsun Yi, as you wish!"
Soon, a weak figure was dragged out and thrown in front of Li Yejin.
Li Yejin bent down, lifted his chin, and forced him to raise his head.
Gongsun Yi's black hair was scattered, and the clothes on his body were already difficult to hide, but his expression was calm, so calm, without the slightest embarrassment. What Li Yejin hates most is that he looks like this.
"She chose to attack the city, not save you. Gongsun Yi, she abandoned you. Li Ye said cautiously.
Gongsun Yi's expression did not change in the slightest, and his cold eyes looked at him lightly.
Li Yejin suddenly deflated.
Since he couldn't stimulate Gongsun Yi, he killed him in front of Gu Tianlan.
Li Ye made up his mind and left the criminal department with Gongsun Yi.
After the city was broken, Gu Tianlan's army poured into Yecheng like sea water. The soldiers of Yecheng were already exhausted, and they didn't have the slightest desire to resist.
They were already disappointed in Mochizuki and Li Yejin to the end, and some of them surrendered directly without a fight.
Soon, Gu Tianlan occupied most of Yecheng, and many civil and military officials became her prisoners.
Looking at the heroic female general on horseback, many older courtiers couldn't help but think of the scene when General Gu went out many years ago.
When the Gu family was here, Mochizuki was so strong. After General Gu died in Azure Town, he may have laid the foundation for Mochizuki's decline.
Gu Tianlan led the army and confronted Li Yejin outside the palace.
Mochizuki Palace is the last line of defense, as long as she captures this place, then Mochizuki will become completely in her pocket. And Li Yejin will also lose his most precious thing.
Time is the most magical. In the past, the husband and wife of Qin Se and Ming can be strangers today, drawing knives to each other, and they are bound to fight to the death.
The two looked at each other from a distance across countless armies, and they saw each other at a glance.
Gu Tianlan actually has an absolute advantage, she has a lot of people and her morale is flourishing, and it is only a matter of time before she wins.
Gu Tianlan's expression changed suddenly.
I saw another figure appear next to Li Yejin. Gu Tianlan stared at the figure tightly, and his hands couldn't help but clench power.
"Lan'er, this is your choice, and now, I will kill him. Li Ye said with a mouth.
Gu Tianlan's eyes widened, and then widened, she suddenly pulled out her sword, rode through the dense crowd, and ran towards the man.
Li Yejin smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his hand slowly raised and fell.
At that moment, countless arrows were aimed at Gongsun Yi and began to fire ten thousand arrows.
Gongsun Yi was covered in injuries and could only barely stand, unable to dodge the dense arrows at all.
No matter how fast Gu Tianlan's speed is, it can't be faster than an arrow.
As she ran, tears fell from her eyes, and her heart was filled with terror.
Just as those arrows were about to touch Gongsun Yi, a figure suddenly pounced and threw Gongsun Yi under him. The arrows pierced his body, piercing those he was covering.
Gu Tianlan's eyes were blood-red, and he attacked Li Yejin. Countless people poured in, and this final battle became chaotic.
Kill, kill, kill, Gu Tianlan was red-eyed.
She had fallen into a crazy situation, and all that was echoing in her mind was the scene she had just seen. The sword in her hand became the most ferocious existence, and every time the sword came out, it killed someone, and the warm blood sprayed on her face, and she seemed to lose consciousness.
When Luo Ning's gaze fell on her, he was stunned for a moment, feeling that he seemed to be wrong.
It's not that she didn't take the general to heart. Something happened to the general, and she looked like she was crazy. In her heart, the general's life may be more important than her own.
It wasn't until there were no more arrows to shoot down, until the blood flowed like a river, and it wasn't until the night was silent that Gu Tianlan stopped. The sword in Gu Tianlan's hand was stuck on the ground, and she slowly knelt down, she was covered in injuries, but she didn't feel pain.
Gu Tianlan stood up again and walked towards a place. There were a pile of dead people there, Gu Tianlan turned over those people one by one, and in the end, she finally revealed the face she was looking for.
Gu Tianlan stretched out his hand covered with blood, trembled, touched his cold face, touched it inch by inch, touched his neck, ignored the blood stains on his body, and cried on his body.
