She only thought that she was married far away, and her family was still living a stable life in her hometown.

She never felt like she had lost them, that home.

Unexpectedly, in the end, she actually experienced the pain of loss in the Qi family.

In the end, she had no strength, and no matter how uncomfortable she was, it turned into a light sigh in her mouth.

"Will you stay with me?" Ye Jinyu fell asleep in Li Sui's arms for a while, then suddenly woke up again, grabbed his clothes and pleaded.

Li Sui kept staring at her, and found that at this moment she was like a little rabbit who had lost her family and direction, helpless and vulnerable.

"Okay, then you lie down obediently, and I will accompany you by the side, and I won't leave."

Ye Jinyu was still in a daze, lay down on the bed, stepped back inside, patted the position next to him, raised his head and said, "You also lie down." ”

Li Sui had a doting smile on his face, took off his shoes and coat and lay beside her. Ye Jinyu took his hand, looked at him for a while, and slowly closed his eyes.

Listening to the sound of her breathing slowly becoming even and steady, Li Sui grasped her slightly loosened hand again and closed her eyes in satisfaction.

The next day, before dawn, they had slept for less than two hours when they were awakened by a sharp knock at the door.

"Master Hou, girl, no, the enemy army suddenly began to attack the city. Master Hou, girl......"

Ling Zhao's panicked shouts were mixed with faint noisy roars.

Li Sui opened his eyes in an instant, and the sleepiness in his eyes was fleeting, and the person suddenly became awake.

Get out of bed immediately, quickly put on your clothes and shoes and head out.

The moment he stood up, Ye Jinyu was also awakened, staring at a pair of red and swollen walnut eyes, sitting on the bed and stunned for a moment, until he heard the sound of the door opening before he suddenly came back to his senses.

"What? The siege of the city, they are impatient so soon......" Ye Jinyu jumped out of bed, and just ran a few steps with his clothes on, he was stopped by Ling Zhao who came in.

"Don't panic, Master Hou has already gone out, and he will definitely be able to suppress them. Girl, your eyes are ......."

"Master Hou is gone? The difference between our numbers and the number of enemy troops is too great for us to last long, even if we only go on the defensive. Ye Jinyu frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Ling Zhao, there is no shortage of people in our city, what is lacking is people who dare to rush forward." You go and gather the people in the house who can fight, and let's go to the city gate to guard the city together. ”

"Girl, I can take someone else with me, but Master Hou has instructed you not to take risks......"

"It's all this time, and what is there to risk not to take risks. If I don't rush forward, do I have to go up to the people who are powerless? After Ling Zhao finished speaking, he turned around and took the soft whip, and then took the sword that hung on the head of the bed and barely moved in his hand, turned around and walked out.

Ling Zhao was entangled for a while, risking being punished by the Hou Ye in the future, he didn't stop Ye Jinyu anymore, he also went back to get the sword, and gathered more than 20 small people who could fight to rush to the city gate together.

When Ye Jinyu rode by the Taishou Mansion and the post station, he said to the people in the rivers and lakes guarding there: "Now that the enemy is invading, it is the time to use people, you go and tell those soldiers and officials inside, if they are willing to contribute to the protection of our homeland, they will make up for their mistakes, and at least their families will not be affected after the matter is settled." ”

A large part of those who followed Deputy Envoy Ye and Qi Yan did not know the real inside story, some were because of years of love, some were here for profit, and some were forced by their forces to be driven to the shelves.

They are trapped here, and everyone has apprehension and anxiety in their hearts. They are just small people, and if the adults do what they do, they will only benefit a little. If they don't, they pay a price that is many times more than they get.

Now there is a sudden opportunity to make up for it, even if it is for their own family, at this time they have to move forward.

So when Ye Jinyu rode to the gate of the city, he was followed by four or five hundred soldiers and officials not far behind.

Ling Zhao arrived one step ahead of them, and before he reached the city wall, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene behind the girl, "This, what's the situation?" ”

At this time, Qu Yu, who was arranging the defense at the city gate, was also attracted by this movement, Ye Jinyu jumped off the horse and pointed to him behind, "These are all voluntary to make up for the merits, so I bothered Lord Qu to arrange it." ”

With that, he walked quickly to the city wall.

Qu reached out to stop her, but the sound of boulders slamming outside the walls and the enemy troops crossing the moat and slamming the gates made him distracted.

Ling Zhao chased Ye Jinyu and ran up the city wall, countless stray arrows shot in from outside the city, they walked while dodging, but they were still grazed by the eyeless stray arrows several times, and after a while, they were all cut two or three wounds on their bodies.

Ye Jinyu waved a soft whip to block the surrounding arrows, and finally found the figure of Hou Ye above the city gate. He stood in the middle of the crowd in military uniform and commanded the battle, not afraid of being targeted by the enemy forces below.

Ye Jinyu hesitated for a moment and didn't run over immediately, for fear that his appearance would distract him.

"Ling Zhao, it looks a little bad over there, let's go over and help, don't alarm Master Hou." Ye Jinyu pulled the person behind him and ran to the left.

They narrowly dodged a wave of arrows, and when they finally reached it, they saw that three or two of their enemies had climbed up with ladders.

Half of the defenders on this side were killed, and the other half was wounded, which allowed the enemy to take advantage of the hole.

Ye Jinyu didn't have time for him to think, a whip flung over, hitting the faces of those enemy soldiers, before they could stand firm on the city wall, they were suddenly frightened and lost their balance, one fell inside, and was stabbed to death by the guards in an instant. Two more fell off the city wall, and were seriously injured if they did not die.

At the same time, she exclaimed, "Quick, push their ladder." ”

Ling Zhao had already rushed over first, hiding a few injured guards and pushing down the two long ladders. The enemy troops who were about to reach the top of the ladder also fell down with the long ladder.

"Be careful!" Ninety-six flavors

Suddenly, a half-human-high stone smashed into the position in front of Ling Zhao, Ye Jinyu's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly wrapped his soft whip around her arm, gritting his teeth and pulling back violently.

There was a thud, and a gap was smashed into the wall.

Almost, Ling Zhao was about to turn into that gap. She sat down on the ground, and when she saw two more corpses of her own in the gap, sadness and fear welled up in her heart, and she was stunned for a long time.

Ye Jinyu dodged a flying arrow sideways, and the sharp pain in her palm made her can't help but "hiss". When I looked up, I saw a bloody streak on my palm.

It's not in a dream, no matter how hard you try, you can't hurt yourself.

However, there was no time to deal with these minor wounds now, and the enemy was not only outnumbered in numbers, but they were also well equipped to siege the city.

Ye Jinyu looked down at the right time, and saw that several catapults were replaced, and five more heavy ballista carts were launched, each of which could fire three arrows higher than a person at the same time, which was extremely destructive.

"Ling Zhao, Ling Zhao......" She panicked and pulled up Ling Zhao, who was still in a daze on the ground, it was the first time she had seen the real heavy ballista, it was far more shocking than what she saw on TV, even if she was so far away, she could feel its irresistible lethality.

If fifteen arrows were fired at the same time, I don't know what kind of holes the walls would become, and how many people would die for it.

She deeply felt the cruelty and fear of war, her hands and feet were cold, and her mind was obviously very clear, but she couldn't think about anything.

Or those who are fearless on the battlefield are like her at the moment, supported by faith, unable to think about anything, only knowing that they can't retreat.

Behind them, there are many more innocent people to protect.

The enemy troops standing on the carts outside the city raised their hands to give the signal to drop their arrows, and none of those on the city walls who saw or did not see them flinched.

Suddenly, a flying arrow burst out of the air, with an unstoppable force, from the castle tower, and accurately hit the chest of the enemy soldier on the building.

Before the signal in his hand was given, the man fell.

A burst of shouts and cheers suddenly erupted on the city tower, and Ye Jinyu turned his head and looked at the Hou Ye who was surrounded by everyone from afar.

He drew a long arrow again, aimed at the people around the building car, and fired three arrows in succession, knocking down some of the people who pushed the building car, and the position was immediately paralyzed.

It's just that everyone understands that this is just a little delay, and they will soon make up for it.

When Li Sui put down the bow, he suddenly turned his head telepathically, and at a long distance, in the middle were countless stray arrows, flying dust and stone foam, guards walking back and forth, and scattered corpses.

At that moment, he was worried about her, but he was also proud of her!

"Hou Ye, retreat, they retreated, Hou Ye ......"

The guard's surprise shout suddenly sounded in his ears, and Li Sui immediately retracted his gaze and looked out of the city.

Seeing the enemy army in the middle of a fierce battle, he suddenly retreated backwards, and soon withdrew from the battlefield.

Li Sui breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on his face, "It seems that Qi joined the army and rushed back!" ”

"Master Hou, are we going over to help? Hit back and forth, the odds are greater. Someone asked excitedly.

Li Sui didn't answer immediately, turned his head and saw that Ye Jinyu and Ling Zhao had already walked to the staircase, Ye Jinyu smiled at him, clenched his fists and made a cheering gesture, and went down the city tower with Ling Zhao.

She finally understood the cruelty of the battlefield, she was in awe and afraid, but if the enemy army did not retreat at this moment, she would still stay and defend the city desperately.

However, my cousin is back, and he has a tiger talisman in his hand, and he can lure away the enemy troops so quickly, so he is sure to deal with them.

Hou Ye and they will definitely not back down at this moment, and all she can do is to stay in the city and do what she can.

I heard that there are still many young and strong people who spontaneously ran over to participate in the defense of the city, and there were all dead and wounded, and these need to be appeased.

There are also city towers and city gates that have been slaughtered, and someone is also needed to clean up the mess.

When Li Sui came down with a team of people, he saw Ye Jinyu helping a wounded man to walk into a nearby medical tent.

He paused, quickly turned his head, and called Qu Yu and Skylark, and asked them to stay in the city with a team of men and horses to clean up the mess, while he took the rest of the men out of the city to spy on the situation.

Ye Jinyu walked out of the medical tent, suddenly saw the city gate open, his heart was excited, he stood on tiptoe to look, but only saw the backs of a group of guards and soldiers, and the city gate closed again after a while.

Even if she didn't see Hou Ye, she knew that he must have gone.

At this time, it is useless to worry, and you can only pray that they will come back safely.

Ye Jinyu pursed his lips vigorously and continued to do things.

They worked in the city for most of the day, and it was not until evening that the battlefield was cleaned up, and according to statistics, a total of one hundred and three people were sacrificed, including 21 guards of the Hou Mansion, 36 people in the city, 17 people from the rivers and lakes, and 29 officials and soldiers who came to make up for their merits.

There are countless injuries, almost no one is not injured, there are about sixty or seventy seriously injured, more than thirty people are lightly injured, and the rest are like Ye Jinyu and Ling Zhao, all of them have small injuries with broken skin and bleeding, just rub some medicine on them.

The statistics are only the people who stayed in the city, the hundreds of people who followed Hou Ye out, and I don't know what it will be like when they come back.
