Chapter 226: Traitors and Heroes
When those barbarian giants breached the gate with battering rams as thick as a thousand-year-old tree, this gate blocked it.
When the army of the dead attacked like waves crashing against the reef, it also stopped.
Wang Dongsen used to be complacent and show off to others, this is the city gate he participated in designing, and no one can break through the door, not even immortal cultivators.
These words were spoken by Wang Dongsen as a civilian who had never been on the city wall and had never seen war.
He didn't expect that in his lifetime, he would put on the armor of a soldier and become a damn soldier to guard the gate he participated in building.
The war brought many soldiers to Hades, and more civilians filled the place, and the former gate guards were killed by random arrows and fell into the middle of the dead.
Because Wang Dongsen participated in the construction of the city gate, he became the best substitute to open the mechanism.
The red armor with cloud patterns did not fit, and after wearing it for a while, Wang Dongsen's neck and shoulders hurt terribly, after all, he was nearly fifty years old, and he was not young.
Wang Dongsen refused to wear armor at first, but given that the last soldier in this position was shot through the heart by an arrow, he decided to increase the probability of survival, and people were afraid of death.
When he became a garrison soldier, he stood on the city wall for the first time, and saw that the enemy army was overwhelming, and the roads and woods that were once familiar outside the city did not exist, only the countless enemies, tents, his scalp was numb at once, and his legs were weak.
He no longer had any illusions about the role that the city gate could play, and the city would be broken sooner or later.
Even if the enemy took a bite on the gate, it would be able to gnaw it clean, and even if it was a corpse stepping on one, the height would be able to go over the city walls.
At that time, everyone will die, including him.
Wang Dongsen looked at the battlefield from afar, the red cavalry led by the city lord Tengyang had broken away from the enemy army, and each soldier's long knife was stained with blood, and he waved his knife on the horse's back, cutting the dead army that blocked the road in two.
The black-armored cavalry, which was entangled at the beginning, began to outflank them in two directions and chased after them.
If the Chiyun army is caught up by the Tianji cavalry, the consequences are unimaginable, and they must rush back to the city before they can be overtaken by them.
"Open the gates! Let them in. Wang Dongsen shouted at the soldiers on the other side, he didn't know the name of the other party, at this time, it is likely that he just knew the name of the other party, and the next moment he had to mourn the other party.
The soldier didn't move.
Wang Dongsen shouted: "What are you doing? Don't be stunned, open the door immediately and let them in." β
"I can't turn it. The soldier said emotionlessly.
"Damn, let me see. Wang Dongsen walked to another organ in two steps and did a quick check. "It's no problem, you go to my side. β
The soldier suddenly attacked from behind, and the dagger was slammed into Wang Dongsen's waist, followed by two more knives.
"For the Tianji Empire!"
"What the hell are you doing!" Wang Dongsen desperately grabbed the soldier's wrist, his face flushed from the stab.
The soldier's face was tense and sweaty, his wrist was pressed down little by little, and the tip of the dagger was pressed against Wang Dongsen's throat. "Isn't this obvious enough, I won't open the door for them, and neither can you, as soon as the city lord dies, I will be the hero of the Tianji Empire, and the rebellious ministers and thieves must die." β
Wang Dongsen wanted to shout for help, but the wound in his waist drained his strength, and the only remaining strength was used to prevent the dagger from falling. "You're from Anseong, but you've become a traitor, kid, you're so naΓ―ve, no one likes a traitor. β
Wang Dongsen's words made the soldiers begin to collapse, he was still very young, and he experienced the baptism of war for the first time. "This place will be breached sooner or later, why don't you leave yourself a way out, my wife is still in the city, if they come in, everyone will die, they say, they say that if they do the right thing at the critical moment, they will pardon our family. β
Wang Dongsen really didn't have the strength to speak.
The young soldier's hands trembled with fear and muttered to himself. "We're all going to be those dead people outside the city, I don't want that, I don't want that. β
Wang Dongsen seized the moment when the soldier collapsed, and the strength of his wrist pressed back, and with a pop, the dagger fell into the soldier's neck.
"Son, I'm a defeatist like you, but I'm not going to do anything treacherous, even if I'm a craftsman, and besides, I promise you won't become those dead people, and I'll burn us both together. β
The young soldier wanted to say something, but only gurgled in his throat.
......
The cavalry team led by the lord of Anseong was about to reach the city gate, and the city gate still showed no sign of opening.
Tianji's pursuers were in hot pursuit, and if the Chiyun cavalry reached the city gate under the city wall and did not open, then they would definitely die.
Daylight was the first to notice the anomaly, and a thick cloud of smoke rose from the place where the mechanism was controlled on the city walls, and something must be wrong there.
Daylight recalls the flying sword that had been tortured by the dead army under the city walls, and walked to the place where the mechanism was activated.
Bai Tian is very angry now, the damn wound has been dragging him down, all thanks to Jian Yusheng, including today's Blood God Temple Lord escaped, at this moment, he hates Jian Yusheng.
When he came to the city gate, he saw one soldier lying on the ground, the other set on fire, and the smoke coming from the corpse.
"Finally someone came. The soldier who fell to the ground struggled to brace himself up, flaring his helmet aside, looking old.
Daylight asked, "What's going on here?"
The old soldier was irreparably mortally wounded, but he still insisted on standing up, came to the office and hissed: "Don't be scared, help me, raise the city gate." β
"What's going on here?" asked Daylight again, as he came to another mechanism, his hand on the wheel.
The veteran sighed. "What else could there be? A desperate young soldier was bewitched by the enemy, but I dealt with him and fulfilled his last wish by the way. β
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
The two men turned the roulette wheel at the same time, and the city gate was raised, just in time for the Chiyun cavalry to flee into the city.
The gates of the city fell with a bang, keeping the enemy out.
After doing all this, Wang Dongsen sat on the ground. "I'm going to die, I'm really unwilling. β
"What's your name?"
"Wang Dongsen, I never thought that I could be a soldier in my lifetime, but today, I really have to admire myself. β
"Wang Dongsen. "Daytime repeats the name of the veteran, he does not remember that the army has this person.
"My lord, I know you, please remember that although I was a craftsman, I am now dead as a soldier. β
Bai Tian nodded and asked. "What can I do for you?"
Wang Dongsen smiled miserably. "You are too young to take care of my wife, you will marry my daughter, but I don't want her to marry a soldier who fights in the war. β
The day is silent.
"Hahahaha, just kidding, I'm a bachelor, I don't have any relatives, if you want to do something for me. Wang Dongsen pointed to the burning corpse on the side. "Like him, he burned me, burned me to a pile of ashes, and couldn't get up again. β
