"Boom~~" The gate in the east of the city finally couldn't stand up, and the wolf-like enemy soldiers took turns to collide and tremble, and the crowd outside the city crossed the breach of the embankment like a tide.
"Retreat to the second line of defense!" Chu Yitong immediately gave an order.
His robe was scratched in many places, the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, the front hem was lifted and tucked around his waist, and he held a longbow in his hand, and a quiver hung from his waist.
"Your Excellency, you go first." Shi Chun Shi Cheng protected him left and right, and said in unison.
"Leave me alone, you go and escort them into the second line of defense and then come to meet me!" Chu Yitong's eyebrows showed a resolute expression, and he strode to the left with an explanation, and the bow in his hand was raised frequently.
"Your Excellency!" Xun Zhu held a big stick in a panic and followed Chu Yitong's side without leaving, "You withdraw quickly, if those people come up, what will you do?" β
"I can't let a single citizen of the Gate be left here." Chu Yitong replied, giving one order after another as he walked.
Xun Zhu stepped back slightly, looking at the solemnity on Chu Yitong's face, he slapped his thigh heavily and sighed: "If only Madame were still here." After that, he looked up and saw that Chu Yitong had walked some distance, so he hurriedly raised his stick again and quickly chased after him.
It took half an hour to finally successfully withdraw everyone into the second line of defense, and Chu Yitong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Excellency, you're hurt!" Xun Zhu pointed to Chu Yitong's right arm, exclaimed, and hurriedly went to find Lang Zhong to bandage Chu Yitong.
"The surname is Chu, if you know each other today and come out to surrender, I will spare you a whole corpse." At this time, a person walked out from the opposite side, wearing a navy blue robe, staring at Chu Yitong with gloomy eyes and shouting arrogantly.
"That's all!! It's Nalian!! Some of the people recognized the identity of the person who came, and they all exclaimed, and the crowd was in a commotion, and the tense atmosphere spread silently.
"Nalian, you still dare to come." Chu Yitong let Lang Zhong bandage him, looked at Na Lian lightly, and said calmly.
"Why didn't I dare come?" Na Lian smiled evilly, looked Chu Yitong up and down, and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Lord Chu, if you hadn't driven away your lady, hahaha~~ We wouldn't have come in so smoothly, Lord Chu, just rush to this point, you say, what kind of decent death do you want, and the master will fulfill you." β
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden silence on Chu Yitong's side, and everyone raised their eyes to look at Chu Yitong.
Chu Yitong pursed his lips slightly, and soon, he regained his usual indifference: "Even if she is not there, I will never let you succeed." β
"Excellent! If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears! Lian smiled sadly, raised his hand and waved it violently, and suddenly shouted, "Attack!" β
"Ready!" Chu Yitong also raised his hand and ordered indifferently.
A new round of offensive and defensive battles has started again.
The second line of defense has no advantage of the city wall, and can only rely on the advantages of the stacked fortifications and various stone houses to lay traps and traps one by one, so Xu Zhi and others have become the main force on this road.
Arrows, hot water, hot oil, and even plant ash became their weapons of attack.
Nalian's people did not rely on obstacles, but fell behind, and after suffering several losses in a row, Nalian changed his strategy.
"My lord, there are suspicious people in the north of the city."
"My lord, there are also a large number of suspicious characters in the south of the city."
"My lord, there are also in the west of the city."
"Lord Yu, Longwei Mountain is surrounded by a large number of suspicious characters, and Old Man Xu is afraid that he will not be able to come to support."
For a few days, there was no movement in that company, but Chu Yitong continuously received the news of the increase in the number of people on the other side, the gate was surrounded by those suspicious people, and Long Weishan's support was also blocked.
"In the past few days, Brother Chao has a post station?" Chu Yitong looked at Na Lian and the others not far away, and asked softly.
"No, a supply was sent in by our people, and he was also safe, except for coming out to ask about the situation every day, he has been waiting in the post station." Shi Chun immediately replied.
"Keep an eye on him." Chu Yitong paused, and his voice became softer, "When the time is right, let him out." β
"Your Excellency?" Shi Chun was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.
"For the sake of warmth, I can only be a villain once......" Chu Yitong muttered almost to himself.
Shi Chun was stunned for a moment, immediately lost his expression, and arched his hand seriously: "Yes!" β
"Shi Cheng." Chu Yitong stood quietly for a while, and then beckoned to Shi Cheng on the other side, "Go and prepare, let Nasuo lead the people to be ready and fight at any time." β
"My lord, this is not appropriate, no matter what they say, it is also a tiger blessing." When Hu Lin heard it on the side, he immediately stepped forward to dissuade him, "If it doesn't work out, it will be known by the imperial court, and you ...... it."
"That even besieged but did not attack, obviously because we wanted to wait for us to be unable to fight back, we would win without a fight, and we must take the initiative to attack." Chu Yitong shook his head and calmly analyzed, "Shi Cheng, go and arrange it, be sure to keep it secret." β
Shi Cheng hesitated slightly and walked quickly.
"Alas, if Madame is ......" Hu Lin sighed, immediately stopped, looked at Chu Yitong's face, and changed his words, "My lord, let's take a break for a while, there are us here." β
"Hmm." Chu Yitong nodded slightly, brushed his clothes, and slowly returned to the yamen, but did not return to the back yamen, but sat down on the stone steps at the yamen.
Looking up at the already dark sky, it was gloomy for a while.
"Why are you sitting here?" Xun Zhu found him, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and quickly ran up, squatted beside Chu Yitong, looked at him carefully, and asked anxiously, "Are you injured?" Where did it hurt? β
"Xunzhu." Chu Yitong remained motionless, his elbows on his knees, looking in the direction of Dragon Scale Mountain, and asked in a low voice, "You say...... Where would she be now? β
"She?" Xun Zhu scratched the back of his head in confusion, and suddenly said, "Did the adult mean Madame?" I think that Madame should be not far from Qimen, she cares so much about you and the people of Qimen, otherwise, the old lady would not have come here to find someone. β
"Is it......" Chu Yitong sighed faintly, retracted his gaze, and stood up, "I'll keep an eye here, I'll go see the old lady first." β
"Kill!!"
At this moment, a heaven-shattering sound suddenly came from the south of the city.
Chu Yitong's footsteps that had just taken suddenly turned around, and he walked quickly towards the south of the city with a stunned Xunzhu.
In an instant, the other three directions sounded the horn of attack at the same time, impacting the entire gate.
"My lord is not good!!" Hu Lin rushed to Chu Yitong with a rolling face, pointed in the direction of the outside with a pale face, and gasped heavily, "Outside...... Outside is Huyou's army!! (To be continued.) )
