Standing quietly on the city walls this summer.

Someone patted her on the shoulder from behind, startling her, and turned her head to see that it was Uncle Beggar.

"Uncle, how did you get here?" As soon as she finished saying this, she looked at him vigilantly, "My aunt called you here?" Catch me back? ”

Uncle Beggar poked her head and said disdainfully: "The heart of a villain! ”

"Then ......" At this time, Xia Fang saw Mrs. Shen behind Uncle Beggar, "Auntie, how did you get out?" It's not safe here, so you might as well go back with my uncle. ”

Mrs. Shen smiled slightly: "You juniors are all here, is it possible that I can't compare to you." ”

"That's not what I mean, I think it's a bit of rough work. Auntie, you see, you are so dignified and skillful, we can just do these rough jobs. "I persuaded him with good words this summer, for fear that I would have no eyes in the fight, and it would be bad for Mrs. Shen to make a mistake.

Ignoring him, Mrs. Shen took out a paper bag from her bosom: "Take a bucket of water, dissolve this medicine powder, and dip all the arrows and spear heads that are going to be shot in the water." This is not some poison that seals the throat when you see blood, but as long as you see blood, it can make people numb all over the body, and you can't use it. ”

I was happy this summer, and hurriedly and carefully took the paper bag.

After Mrs. Shen explained, she looked at Mrs. Qi on the top of the city tower, sighed lightly, and went down the city wall with Uncle Beggar, but did not go far, only found a secluded place to wait. Uncle Beggar knew that she was worried about her safety this summer when the city was broken, so he didn't persuade her, but only thought about how to keep them both safe.

At three o'clock, there were shadowy torches and drums in front of New River City.

"Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock! ……”

In the dead silence of the night, the rhythm of the drums was extremely harsh, and each stroke seemed to hit the hearts of the people on the city walls.

They came, in the darkness of the night.

Jinxia clenched her bow and arrows, staring at the source of the drum, and there was a black shadow behind her, and she immediately turned around and saw Cen Shou's hand in the shape of a blade, holding it in the air......

"What do you do?" She stared suspiciously at his hand.

Cen Shou put down his hand and gestured twice in front of him: "...... Nothing, let the Wokos see my determination to slash them. ”

"Sophistry!" This summer scoffed, "You want to knock me out secretly and drag me back, don't you?" Brother Xie told me. ”

"This traitor!"

Cen Shou gritted his teeth.

The firearm on the city wall this summer Nunu mouthed: "What are you afraid of, look at this battle, the Japanese can not easily attack it." ”

On the city wall, there are all kinds of firearms and blades, such as large guns, fire guns, fire barrels, armor guns, javelins, etc., which are indeed quite terrifying at first glance.

Cen Shou pointed at the gunpowder box on the ground: "Have you ever seen gunpowder?" There is not even a load of gun, less than 20 catties of lead, less than 5 catties of sulfur, and this big gun, I searched the entire armory and found a gun, ......that is to say, "Because there are still people around, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army, and he did not continue to say the following words."

In other words, this big gun looks quite bluffing, but in fact, it can only be launched once, and then it has to be properly furnished. Jin Xia gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and said fiercely: "Don't expect to kill them, just scare them to death!" ”

Cen Shou held his forehead.

"Brother, come here, can you see the person beating the drum?" This summer dragged Cen Shou to the city wall and asked, "Leave him behind and destroy their majesty!" ”

Cen Shou narrowed his eyes: "You can see it, but it's a pity that it's outside the range of the firebolt." ”

"Then let's get closer and fight again!" This summer was annoyed by the sound of the drums.

"Don't worry, listen to Mrs. Qi's order before you start." Cen Shou had read the book of war with Lu Yi, and said eloquently, "When the two armies are fighting, it is most taboo to be unable to hold their breath, and besides, our gunpowder is limited, so we must use it on the blade to extinguish their sharp spirit in one fell swoop." ”

Jinxia nodded slowly, looked at him with admiration, and then asked, "It's all taught to you by Lord Lu, right?"

Cen Shou raised his head: "I can't be talented and smart?" ”

"Okay, okay......" smiled this summer.

The drums were getting closer and closer, and the black-pressed Japanese invaders gathered under the city and stopped less than twenty zhang away from the city wall, confronting the Ming army on the city wall.

"Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock! ……”

The drums were still beating steadily, like contempt and threat.

Mrs. Qi frowned, took the bow and arrow from the hand of the maid in military uniform next to her, pulled the bow and arrow, only to hear a whoosh, the arrow went off the string, and crossed the night sky in full view of everyone, hitting the left chest of the drummer.

White Feather trembled slightly.

The drums stopped.

There was an uproar among the would-be robbers.

Previously, I only knew that Mrs. Qi knew some fist and foot kung fu, but I didn't expect her archery skills to be so exquisite, and she could easily take the enemy's life in the night, and this summer's admiration for Mrs. Qi has greatly deepened.

Seeing that their companions were killed, the Japanese robbers shouted loudly with the weapons in their hands, waiting for the leader to give the order.

Xie Xiao has always been a loser who does not lose the battle, and when he saw that he was so arrogant, he immediately mobilized his internal force and howled.

Seeing this, Cen Shou immediately responded with a whistling sound. This whistling sound was very infectious, and everyone heard it, and their courage was shaken. Those who know kung fu howl loudly, and those who don't know kung fu also open their voices and yell, even this summer, they also screamed, which is really happy!

Just listening to the sound, you know that there are many people on the city wall, this is the leader of the Japanese Kou did not expect in advance, thinking for a moment, General Qi has led the troops to Ninghai will not be wrong, most of the city is bluffing, not to be afraid, so he ordered the siege of the city.

Due to the long-distance attack of the Japanese and the underestimation of Xinhe City, they were not equipped with well-equipped siege equipment, not even a ladder, and only cut down a large tree outside the city for use as a battering ram.

At that moment, dozens of pirates rushed to the city gate with battering rams, and other musketeers shot at the city to cover the siege.

Mrs. Qi gave an order, and the soldiers on the city wall fired firearms, armor guns and bows and arrows at the city, which were close and condescending, and killed and injured countless pirates who were besieging the city.

The people, who did not know how to use firearms and blades, waved their flags and shouted on the city walls to strengthen the army's might.

The leader of the Japanese Kou really did not expect that there were so many firearms reserves in the city, only to see that the fire on the city wall was dazzling, full of human figures, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the sound of killing shook the sky, which was really a little terrifying.

Nearly half of the Japanese who rushed to the front to attack the city had fallen, and the leader of the Japanese raised his hand, and the Japanese in the back continued to attack forward.

Seeing that the widows were not frightened away, Mrs. Qi bit the root of her teeth and ordered someone to push the big gun to the side of the city wall......

After shooting the last arrow in the quiver this summer, I heard the rattling sound of pushing the big gun, and my heart sank: "Madam, now is the time to ...... We only have one gun, and we're gone when we run out. ”

Mrs. Qi said with a resolute face: "This siege must be repulsed, only in this way can they be deterred!" ”

This summer knew that she was right, but at the beginning she used up the last gun, and finally felt that she had no bottom in her heart, and she went to the side to look for arrows with trepidation.

There was no gun hand among the soldiers, so Mrs. Qi personally loaded the bullet, personally shook the axle, and aimed the gun body.

"Boom!"

The recoil of the gun shook the entire city wall.

The gun flew out of the barrel and shot straight into the wolf twenty feet away, and exploded with a bang! Those who touched it all died, and more than a dozen people fell in an instant, and even the leader of the Japanese was shaken off his horse.

Unexpectedly, there were such heavy firearms in Xinhe City, and the leader of the Japanese invaders was shocked, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of his troops. The besieging pirates dropped their battering rams and fled back with bows and arrows and firearms, and the entire army of the pirates withdrew beyond the range of the guns.

"Did we win?" This summer was a bit of a disbelief.

Cen Shou's hands were full of nitrate powder stained when he was filling gunpowder, and he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the remaining gunpowder: "Fortunately, they have withdrawn their troops, and if they continue to fight, the gunpowder will be used up." ”

Everyone on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw that the Japanese were stationed in sight, they obviously did not give up, and their hearts were still uneasy.

Madame Qi inspected the city wall and ordered everyone not to relax, but still to make the illusion that there were many garrisons in the city to confuse the enemy army. Then she quickly found Jin Xia and the others, and said, "How many people do you want to guard the Qingbo River?" ”

"Twenty!"

"The soldiers can't go, they have to stay on the city walls."

"You don't need to be a soldier, as long as you can wear a military robe and be able to carry a knife and gun." This summer road.

Xie Xiao said inexplicably: "What do you want twenty people to do?" ”

This summer shook his head: "It's still an empty city plan!" ”

Mrs. Qi ordered twenty people, all of them changed into military robes and helmets, and held polished spears, which looked very similar. This summer gave them a hand: "Brothers, if you have worked, you will raise your head higher and walk neatly, and you will have to be at least a successful husband for seven years." ”

Xie Xiao was full of doubts and looked at Yang Yue, who was also dressed in a military robe and ready to go.

*******************************************************************

The sound of firecrackers and the crashing sound of battering rams outside had long made Shangguan Xi and the others who were hiding in Chunyu's mansion restless, and they couldn't stay in the cellar, only listening to the movement in the courtyard. Later, when he heard the sound of the bombardment, Shangguan Xi couldn't sit still anymore, and went out with a limp.

"Girl, you can't go out!" Uncle Xu shouted from behind.

Ah Rui stood still, silently and without stepping forward.

Shangguan Xi limped forward step by step, until she reached the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly Ah Rui quickly grabbed up from behind her, lowered her □, and carried her back with a hand.

"You...... I don't have to carry it. Shangguan Xi was taken aback by him and said angrily.

Because of Annoyance that Rui was undercover in the Wu'an Gang, she didn't say a word to him for several days.

Ah Rui walked forward steadily with her on his shoulder, and said, "Your leg has not healed yet, I will carry you to him." ”

Shangguan Xi ** said: "I can find him myself, I don't need you." ”

"I'll carry you on my back, and you'll see him soon." Rui said in a low voice.

Shangguan Xi was stunned, at this time, she really wanted to find Xie Xiao as soon as possible, but ...... Her hand was originally tightly gripping the shirt on Ah Rui's shoulder, and she couldn't help but gradually relax, but she said coldly: "You are so flattering to me, don't you still want to go back to the Wu'an Gang?" I can tell you right now, even if you are willing to be punished with three swords and six holes, I will never allow you to return to the gang. ”

There was almost no figure on the street, and Ah Rui walked with her step by step, listening to her voice, and felt that no matter what she said, at least she was willing to talk to herself, which was already very good. The wound on his back is still healing, and carrying Shangguan Xi on his back will inevitably rub against the wound and sting and hurt, and at this moment, even this pain makes him feel very satisfied.

"Why don't you speak?" Shangguan Xi saw that he was just walking with his head buried in his head, not saying a word at all, and couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm......" Ari paused for a moment before he said, "I didn't think about going back to the gang, don't worry." ”

Shangguan Xi snorted coldly: "How can I think that the Wu'an Gang has a puddle of water, and it can't accommodate you, a real dragon?" Come to think of it, you used to be really aggrieved. ”

As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in her words, Ah Rui said quietly: "When I was in the gang, I always thought about how good it would be if I was really just Ah Rui, really just a pawn in the gang. ”

"......" Hearing the sadness in his voice, Shangguan Xi was silent for a while, "How much have you done to be sorry for the gang?" ”

Ah Rui no longer had anything to hide, and said truthfully: "My task is to report the situation in the gang in detail, including the exchange of money with other gangs. By the way, Zhou Xian has already transported the river repair money, which I also deliberately followed, and I originally planned to do the river repair money on the river, but then the plan changed temporarily, so I gave up. ”

"Can you hurt the brothers in the gang?" She asked.

"It didn't hurt them...... It's just that when I'm in the way, I gave them sweat medicine to make it easier for me to act. ”

Shangguan Xi was furious and grabbed him by the collar: "Did you also drug me?!" ”

"No, ahem, ahem......" Rui said busily, "I've never drugged you, it's true." When you saved me three years ago, I decided that I couldn't hurt you no matter what. ”

"You have such good skills, how can you still use me to save you, it's just a trick you want to get into the gang." Shangguan Xi didn't believe it at all.

"I did lie to you at that time, but you really saved me, and I am always grateful to you in my heart."

"Say no more! Count me blind at that time and pick up a wolf! ”

Shangguan Xi said angrily.

Ah Rui really didn't speak anymore, only carried her forward quietly, until he reached the city wall, and then put her down.
