Chapter 276: Persistence

When Chu Yunsheng took Su Yun back to the fork in the road just now, she was going to chase after the Qin family's army, and she suddenly paused.

Seeing this, Su Yun was puzzled: "Girl, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng made a gesture of silence, and then Su Yun and the others immediately held their breath, and at this time, they only heard uniform steps, coming from the direction of the west turn.

After making sure that he had heard correctly, Chu Yunsheng's first reaction was to pick up his steps and run forward, in the direction of the west turn.

Sure enough, He Rong's reaction was fast enough, and he gathered a team to chase and kill him in such a short period of time, but at this time, the Qin family army went to the armory, and when he got the weapon in hand, he had to break through from the south, so now is the most critical time, and he must not let He Rong's pursuers catch up with the Qin family's army!

At the same time as she heard the voice just now, Chu Yunsheng could also tell from their footsteps that they were still some distance away from the west turner, so she didn't even think about it and ran directly to the west turner, hoping to block them before these people broke through the west turner.

It's a moment to be able to keep them in the west turns!

After understanding Chu Yunsheng's intentions, Su Yun didn't dare to delay, and immediately followed these heavenly elites to the West Gate with Chu Yunsheng.

Fortunately, they only reached the head of the West Turns, and the pursuers of the Zhao army only reached the other end of the West Turns.

Previously, when the Qin family army left the West Gate Gate, the follow-up team had already closed the entire gate tightly, and used all the tools that could be used to guard the gate to firmly block this gate, so at this time, it would take a lot of effort to knock this gate open from the inside.

And when Chu Yunsheng and the others were at the top of the city, the soldiers of the Zhao Army inside were already preparing to hit the siege vehicle at the gate.

Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng did not hesitate, swept over the city head neatly, raised his hand and took the arrow feathers prepared on the side, and shot directly at the guards who were about to hit the gate with siege vehicles.

Whoosh.

A few arrow feathers carried a fierce murderous aura to break through the hustle and bustle of the night, and the Zhao soldiers who were rushing down the city in a hurry just now were startled by the sudden arrow feathers, and they all paused their steps, and the arrows shot by Chu Yunsheng also hit the Zhao soldiers who were carrying siege vehicles, and before the people behind could see clearly, they had already fallen straight to the ground.

"There's someone up there!"

I don't know who made such an exclamation, the soldiers of the Zhao army who had just paused raised their heads and looked at Chu Yunsheng, who was standing heroically on top of the three-story city, and at that time, she was still holding a bow in her hand.

Because it was temporarily ordered to pursue the Qin army, most of the weapons of the Zhao soldiers who arrived at the west gate were swords and spears, and there were no archers inside, and this west gate was to prevent the Qin army from escaping, so it was not only built high, but also exceptionally stable, and if you want to attack from the inside, it is basically impossible when there is no siege vehicle siege ladder and other equipment.

But on the contrary, their team was ordered to come as soon as possible, not only did they not have siege equipment, but they didn't even have archers, so they could only watch Chu Yunsheng and others standing on top of the city, and they were helpless, just waiting for the reinforcements from behind.

Even so, they did not dare to wait here, neglecting military orders, even if they knew that there were masters of archery on the head of the city, the commander of this team still refused to give up, and constantly commanded his subordinates to set up siege vehicles and run towards the gate.

And as soon as their talents approached the siege vehicle, they were greeted by Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun's arrow feathers on the head of the city, and the arrows were not missing.

This is a pain for those Zhao soldiers who risked their lives to get close to the siege vehicles, Chu Yunsheng and the arrows they used were all hoarded in Xizamen in order to prevent the Qin family army from rebelling, but they didn't expect that now they would actually lift stones and hit their own feet, making them miserable.

It was clear that there were only less than ten people visible on the city at this time, and their team had at least a thousand people, but there was nothing they could do about it!

However, at this time, Chu Yunsheng, who seemed to be guarding very easily, also felt that it was not easy at all, these Zhao troops were desperately trying to press the siege vehicles to attack the gate, they only had these few people here, and they could only rely on the geographical advantage to hold this time, and it would not be long before the reinforcements of the Zhao army arrived, then they might not even have time to retreat!

However, if she wanted them to give up the west turnshot gate and flee at this time, she felt that she couldn't do it, because the flag flower signal for the Qin family army to leave the imperial tomb had not yet been issued, that is to say, they were still trapped in the imperial tomb and did not break through, in this case, they must not be allowed to attack at both ends, what she can do now is to stop these pursuers and buy more time for the Qin family army, so that their chances of escaping will be greater.

It's just that even if she is iron, there are times when she is tired, Chu Yunsheng doesn't remember how many arrows she shot out, and she doesn't remember how many Zhao Jun she shot out, she only feels that her two arms are like a thousand pounds of weight, and she can't lift them up when she hangs on her body, and then looking at Su Yun beside her, she is also clenching her teeth and insisting, the half-human-high arrow feather that was still in the corner of the wall just now, this moment of kung fu has already seen the bottom, and they can't support it for long.

Moreover, even if they can hold on for a little longer, when this western gate is broken, not only will they not be able to resist these Zhao troops, but they will undoubtedly become the souls of their swords.

"Girl, we are holding on here, you can withdraw first, the Qin family army can't leave you. While skillfully putting the arrow on the string, Su Yun said to Chu Yunsheng: "We can hold on for a while, you can take this opportunity to catch up with the Qin family's army." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng shook his head and denied: "At such a time, how could I leave you alone and run for my life, if I want to leave, I also have to wait for a while longer and go together." ”

As he spoke, Chu Yunsheng raised his hand and shot three more arrow feathers, each hitting three more Zhao soldiers who were trying to get close to the siege vehicle.

Watching his subordinates fall one by one, and they couldn't get any one to get close to the siege vehicle, Xu felt that it was not a way to consume it like this, and the commander of the Zhao army finally stopped his men and no longer approached the siege vehicle, but they did not retreat, but they were not far away and waited in the west turn.

And seeing this scene, with a breath, Chu Yunsheng, who had been shooting arrows non-stop, dared to breathe a sigh of relief, she quietly took a step back, and then leaned against the bricks at the head of the city behind, and out of Zhao Jun's sight below, she dared to gasp and rest.

"We won't last long, girl, you go first. ”

Su Yun saw that Chu Yunsheng was still so persistent, but this time she didn't intend to let Chu Yunsheng be stubborn, because this time it was too dangerous, they were about to face life and death, and she couldn't watch Chu Yunsheng die with them.

"I know, it won't last long, but I still want to wait a little longer, if we can last for a while, we can hold on here for a while, for the Qin family, it will reduce the death of some people and increase their chances of escaping from the royal tomb, we have to plan to escape from the royal tomb with them, so we can't care about their life and death." ”

Hearing this, Su Yun didn't want to say anything, in the face of life and death, she believed that Chu Yunsheng had always chosen the latter, which was also what made her different from too many other people.

At this moment, there were uniform footsteps not far away, Chu Yunsheng heard the sound and quickly stood forward, and at this time, he saw that more Zhao soldiers suddenly poured out behind the Zhao army that had just been beaten by them, but these people still did not bring siege equipment, so Chu Yunsheng judged that they had received orders to pursue the Qin family army with their front and rear feet.

After these people arrived, Xu made an exchange between them, and the people who followed behind them actually stayed under the city honestly, and no longer acted rashly like the previous wave.

Chu Yunsheng knew that they were waiting, and looking at their expressions, he believed that the siege equipment would arrive soon.

And at this time, if they don't leave, it will really be too late.

However, if he left like this, Chu Yunsheng was neither unwilling nor at ease.

There was still a voice in her heart telling her to hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer.

Just as she was thinking about her thoughts, Su Yun's voice suddenly sounded in her ears with a bit of surprise: "Girl, look!"

Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng quickly came back to his senses, and turned around to look in the direction that Su Yun pointed, only to see that on the way back from the interrogation room, twenty or thirty black-clothed people suddenly appeared, it was their heavenly killing elite, led by the falling snow blowing flowers, and behind them there was also a group of hundreds of soldiers of the Qin family army wearing prison uniforms, they pushed the cart, and the cart of the cart was filled with wooden barrels, and it was covered with cypress branches, Chu Yunsheng saw their purpose with just one glance.

"Let's go, greet them. ”

As she spoke, Chu Yunsheng ran down from the city, and when she returned to the city gate, the snow and flowers blew and they took people to the bottom.

"Girl, I'm sorry we're late. ”

Luo Xue smiled apologetically at Chu Yunsheng, but at the same time, he didn't dare to delay the movements in his hands, he raised his hand neatly and commanded his subordinates to cooperate with the soldiers of the Qin family army to carry the wooden barrels and the branches of the cypress trees to the city.

"It's good to be here. ”

They were able to come, which was much beyond Chu Yunsheng's expectations, in fact, what she didn't know was that this had already been in the plan that Su Jingxuan had made with them, but because Chu Yunsheng had talked about his plan before, he had not yet designed this part after the retreat, and the time was pressing, so they didn't deliberately put it forward when it snowed.

As early as when he was preparing to act from the mountain pass, Su Jingxuan had already calculated that He Rong would send pursuers to pursue the West Zarmen, and also calculated that after the falling snow and blowing flowers, they would be able to support the West Zarmen after they led the Qin family army to conquer the Zhao army's weapons warehouse.

It's just that Chu Yunsheng doesn't know.

At this time, listening to the falling snow and telling the truth one by one, Chu Yunsheng also had to admire Su Jingxuan's unpredictable prophet, which was not missing.

With the support of the falling snow, Chu Yunsheng suddenly felt a lot less pressure, at least it was not a problem to guard this west gate for a while, and in the end, even if they couldn't take it, they could also ignite the cypress branches and oil they brought by the falling snow when retreating, and temporarily block the pursuit of the Zhao army first, which also created an opportunity and opportunity for their final withdrawal.

Just when Chu Yunsheng felt relieved, she climbed to the top of the city again, and saw a large number of Zhao troops surging not far from the west gate, and this time, they all brought complete engineering ladders, siege vehicles, and bows and arrows, etc., just short of long-distance catapults.

If it weren't for the fact that this was inside the Imperial Mausoleum, Chu Yunsheng believed that Zhao Jun would have moved it over.

It was precisely because of the inside of the Imperial Mausoleum that it was the Zhao army that was trapped in the West Turns, not the Qin Army they had guarded before, and everything was transferred one by one, so the Zhao Army had never prepared catapults inside the West Turns, and these bows and arrows and siege vehicles were still placed by the Zhao Army in a secret weapons warehouse closest to the West Turns, which was used to come in handy as a last resort.

And this is the time of last resort.

Just when these reinforcements arrived behind them, Chu Yunsheng also found that there was a sharp light shooting out from the front of these people, she raised her eyes and followed the cold light, and saw He Rong who was guarded by everyone at this time, at this time he was wearing a dark brocade robe, standing there calmly, without the slightest panic and anger, even at this time Chu Yunsheng had already messed up his entire royal tomb, and the sky-high firelight could be seen everywhere, however, his expression was still calm, elegant, and even a little indifferent。

As soon as He Rong appeared, the Zhao soldiers who were still a little noisy just now suddenly quieted down, and there were nearly 10,000 Zhao soldiers below who could hear a needle falling on the ground at this time.

"Long time no see, lonely concubine. ”

From afar, He Rong's gaze fell directly on Chu Yunsheng, and the first sentence he said almost made Chu Yunsheng vomit blood.

"Long time no see, King Zhao. ”

Already too lazy to talk to him here, let alone explain the meaning of He Rong's words before these soldiers, Chu Yunsheng directly threw a roll of his eyes at He Rong, and the alienation and indifference in his tone were even worse than He Rong's.

However, He Rong didn't seem to care about her expression and attitude at all, looking at Chu Yunsheng standing heroically on top of the city, thinking about the way he turned his entire royal tomb upside down because of Chu Yunsheng this night, the corners of He Rong's mouth raised slightly, and a condensed smile appeared, and he said, "Do you think that with you, can you escape with those remnants of the defeated army?"
