Chapter 666: Invasion
Mu Youchen's prediction was indeed not wrong, the Southern Chu Kingdom did not make any offensive moves, not even the slightest rumor. Luo Ming, known as the siege general, didn't know if he was really worried that he would be ruined, or for other reasons, but he didn't do anything, which made people suspect that Luo Ming was brewing a bigger conspiracy.
And the heavy rain weather speculated by Mu Youchen also came two days ago, it was really pouring down, and the rain was continuous, and when I looked at it, I only felt that the world had become an endless ocean.
Not to mention the war, even going out will be flooded to the waistband of the trousers.
However, Xun Langyu did not let the soldiers relax, and Xun Langyu insisted on patrolling the city wall and defending in the rain with the soldiers. Although it encouraged the soldiers, the successive heavy rains still made many people relax.
Among them, there is one thing that Mu Youchen and others have to guard against, and that is because of the heavy rain. Outside there were floods, and many refugees fled to Seven Star City for fear of spies or assassins. It has to be treated carefully, and anyone who has the slightest suspicion will be interrogated repeatedly.
The most worrying thing is the situation in Whitehorse, where thousands of horses are in the rain and don't know if something will happen. And if in such weather, the Nanchu ** team attacks the city, these cavalry are of no use, I am afraid they can only abandon their horses to fight.
However, soon Du Xiongfei sent someone to tell Mu Youchen that everything was normal on their side. Let Mu Youchen not worry, and pay attention to the infiltration tactics of the Southern Chu State.
With such stormy weather, it is estimated that anyone would think of sleeping in their room......
"General, General. Outside, there was another group of refugees, numbering thousands, who looked as if they had fled from some village. ”
Xun Langyu had just finished inspecting the city wall and encouraged the soldiers to hold on to the city. I was about to take a short rest below, but before I could get below, I heard thousands of refugees arriving.
Xun Langyu's attitude towards refugees has always been very benevolent, and generally there is no problem to let them in, and then provide food and shelter. But when he heard that there were thousands of refugees, Xun Langyu was still vigilant, and beckoned hundreds of soldiers with weapons, bows and arrows to step on waist-high rain to come to the city gate, and then ordered someone to open the city gate.
As soon as the city gate was opened, the refugees from outside the city rushed in. The heavy rain is still falling, the flood waves are getting higher and higher, and from time to time people are washed away by the rain and can no longer get up from the water, which shows the horror of this natural disaster.
"Stop! Hold it all for me. ”
Although Xun Langyu is soft-hearted, he is not a fool. In the process of accepting refugees before, the spies of the Southern Chu State were checked, and this time there are thousands of refugees, and you don't need to think about it to know that there must be people from the Southern Chu Kingdom.
But where were these refugees willing to listen to Xun Langyu's words, they rushed in in a hurry, and even ignored the archers in front of them.
"Shield, give me a shield to stop them. the spear! ”
Xun Langyu suddenly became angry, if it was really necessary, he would not be so soft-hearted. After hearing Xun Langyu's words, the soldiers also reacted quickly, and when the refugees rushed over, they cast an iron wall of spears and shields, blocking the refugees alive.
"Everyone listen to me, there may be spies from the Southern Chu Kingdom among you, in order to eliminate the spies, please cooperate with you, accept the inspection, and then go to the city to rest is not too late."
Xun Langyu was also bitter in his heart, in fact, Seven Star City was also flooded. Many people have no houses to live in, and most of them are even immersed in water, and it is not a good thing for these people to go to the city again.
Woohoo!
But before Xun Langyu's words could play any role, he heard a burst of breaking the air that made people's scalps tingle, and countless crossbow arrows flew in, due to the close distance, many Jing ** soldiers were shot to the ground without the ability to react at all, and more of them were refugees were shot over.
"The enemy is coming! The enemy is coming! ”
In a hurry, the refugees fled in all directions, and it was more of an impact and Jing**'s formation, which led to a mess of Jing**, and it was impossible to resist at all.
And at this moment of chaos, there were hundreds of voices breaking through the air, and one figure after another staggered into the water, and the blood was so dazzling in the muddy water.
"Damn it, give me arrows, arrows!"
At this time, Xun Langyu couldn't care about any refugees, if he was attacked by the enemy, there might be more than so many people killed or injured at that time, in order to ensure that Seven Star City continued to be in their hands, Xun Langyu had no choice but to go against the mercy in his heart and let the soldiers shoot arrows at ordinary people.
As a result, there were crazy bow and arrow attacks on both sides, and before they could make contact, there were already floating corpses everywhere at the city gate, and the blood drifted down the water to the outside of the city, but it could not be washed away.
Knock knock!
Immediately afterwards, Jing ** suffered another brutal blow, and the enemy actually used various combat techniques to bomb. On the spot, dozens of Jing ** soldiers were blown up in the water, and the army of cultivators and assassins of the Southern Chu State took advantage of this gap to rush in and engage Xun Langyu and others in close combat.
"Kill!"
Xun Langyu knew that the city gate could not be lost, and led dozens of people to fight desperately. The Jing ** soldiers on the city wall also rushed down to support, but the Nan Chu ** team had obviously planned how to deal with the Jing ** of Seven Star City for a long time, and under the strong crossbow blocking, many people were shot on the way down, resulting in the soldiers on the city wall could only be supported by bows and arrows, exchanging dead and wounded.
"Scatter!"
After these cultivators and assassins of the Southern Chu Kingdom broke through Xun Langyu's defenses, they divided into several teams and fled to the city, obviously not wanting to entangle with Xun Langyu and others, their task was to assassinate and capture alive Mu Youchen, Xuan Jiayin, Xun Langyu and other big people, not to entangle with the people guarding the city at the city gate.
But if they know that there is one of the Jing ** soldiers guarding the city that they want to capture alive, but they don't recognize it, I don't know how these people will feel.
It's just that they don't know these things. It was already raining heavily, and now hundreds of assassins rushed in, Xun Langyu knew that this was just the enemy's forward force, although he blamed himself in his heart, but in addition to letting people close the city gate, he had no better way, and even Xun Langyu did not send people to hunt down these assassins, but after sounding the alarm bell, he continued to lead people to defend the city wall. I am afraid that the army of the Southern Chu State will be killed soon.
Moreover, Xun Langyu expected it well. The army of the Southern Chu State actually built a bamboo raft overnight, and at this moment, thousands of people were rushing to the Seven Star City on the bamboo raft.
