Chapter 177: Returning to the City in Victory
The soldiers in the city saw that the peach chasing rabbit archery was successful, and they all cheered in the city when they killed people with an arrow outside the range of the bow and arrow, and Gao Yanzong also laughed at the head of the city:
"The northern Tartars are really skilled!"
The thieves were shocked by the peach chase rabbit and hesitated, and the gods who were shouting and urging the thieves to move forward just now also didn't move.
Peach Rabbit stood on the horse with his chin held high and glanced at the thieves in front of him, and the thieves bowed their heads to avoid under the sweeping eyes of Peach Rabbit's mighty eyes, and no one in the thief array dared to meet this sharp gaze, they only dared to cast hateful and fearful eyes after Peach Rabbit turned his head.
Peach Rabbit was glared at by 10,000 people but he was not a little uncomfortable, it seems that he enjoys this "treatment" very much,
The soldiers in the city waved the swords in their hands and shouted the words "peach chase rabbit" in unison, even if the other three gates of Xiangcheng were still fighting bloodily, they could hear it clearly.
Lan Ziyi looked at Tao Zhutu with a smile, knowing that he would be out of the limelight this time, and he would be able to go back to the city satisfied.
Tao Zhutu was full of pride, and when he saw that no one dared to fight, he wanted to turn around.
At this moment, a person stepped out of the thief array, this person was wearing heavy armor, holding a big axe, and he could step on a deep footprint on the ground without taking a step, this is a heavy armored demon thief who climbed the city and cut the fence, Lan Ziyi fought with him on the city wall, and knew that this kind of person was difficult.
The thief approached the Peach Rabbit step by step with his fastest pace, and as he went, he uttered a dull voice from his tightly covered helmet:
"The demon is rampant, if you have the ability, you will shoot me to death with an arrow, otherwise when I come to your horse, it will be when your head is in a different place!"
Lan Ziyi saw this heavily armored thief coming up, and unconsciously tightened his lips, just now it took more than one arrow to shoot the thief Kou Jiashi on the city wall, how could he be killed with one arrow here? If you can't kill the thief with a single arrow, then the deterrent that Peach Chases Rabbit has built up so hard before will disappear, and the thieves will swarm after the armor.
During this period of time, the Tiger Battalion entered the city, and it was completely too late to turn around and retreat into the city at this time, but this crowd fled in front of the battle, not to mention the enemy in the future, even if they walked in front of their own people, they couldn't raise their heads.
Lan Ziyi asked himself, if he and Tao Zhutu switched places, he would definitely turn around and go back to the city, after all, face is still not important.
Just when Lan Ziyi was thinking about how to persuade Tao Zhutu to return to the city, Tao Zhutu himself whispered to Lan Ziyi:
"Young master, if I don't shoot this bastard to death with an arrow, you can quickly turn around and go back to the city, leave me alone."
Saying that, Tao Zhutu has already started to pull the string with arrows, and it seems that he is still ready to kill this thief near the maximum range of the bow and arrow.
Lan Ziyi heard the meaning of death in Tao Zhutu's words, and hurriedly asked:
"What do you say about the third brother, what about you when I leave?"
Peach Rabbit replied:
"Of course I'm rushing up and fighting that thief to the death."
Lan Ziyi raised his voice and wanted to speak, but he was afraid that being heard would affect Tao Zhutu's mind, so he leaned out and said eagerly:
"Why should the third brother be more serious with a demon thief? It's not worth dying here! ”
At this time, the peach chase rabbit arrow had been set up, and after hearing Lan Ziyi's words, he turned around and smiled helplessly:
"Young master, my words have already been released, and I have to finish my words even if I die today, there is nothing worthless."
As he spoke, he turned his head, pulled the bow round with his thumb, and shouted violently from the dantian:
"Right eye, middle!"
The arrows are fired with the sound, as fast as lightning, soaring in the air like a tiger leaping over the mountains and forests, aiming to kill.
The thief who came out to challenge was not ambiguous, stopped and flew the handle of the axe in his hand, and the blade of the axe slashed down and hit the waist of the arrow with a "bell".
Lan Ziyi saw the end of the arrow falling in response to the axe, and his heart screamed badly, just this time the helmet was oozing with sweat, fortunately, the armor was facing away from the thief, if the thief saw that the arrow was cut off, it would be strange if he didn't rush up.
The peach rabbit in front of him was also nervous, and he endured it again and again before he put his hand into the quiver to get the arrow again.
The two armies of the confrontation held their breath, and all the energy of everyone was focused on the two people at the moment,
The heavy thief had been shielding himself with his axe since he had cut off his arrows, neither speaking nor leaving, not knowing what he was waiting for
Lan Ziyi looked at the heavy armor thief and swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, he could clearly feel the desire to attack in the thief array, and the thieves were waiting to see how the heavy armor thief would move next.
Lan Ziyi let out several breaths, and his hands were full of sweat, but he waited and waited, but he didn't see the thief move.
Tao Zhutu slowly put down the bow, although he was still in an aggressive posture, but Lan Ziyi knew that he couldn't hold back, as long as the thief made a move, he would definitely pull out his saber and rush over.
While everyone was nervously staring at the thief, the armorer slowly leaned back, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Although I don't know why, Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu both breathed a sigh of relief, and two people ran out of the thief array to check the situation, and after removing the giant axe, they were surprised to find that blood trickled out of the right eye on the armor of the armor, and after removing the armor, they saw that the arrow was cut off with it, but the front half of the branch actually penetrated into the eye socket through the eye hole on the armor, and the armor had already choked when he stopped just now.
Tao Zhutu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said excitedly to the thief:
"Come on! If you are not afraid of death, you will have a good time! “
Seeing that the winner had been decided, the defenders of the city cheered like thunder, and the words "peach chasing rabbit" resounded in the sky again.
The thieves were completely discouraged this time, and the Jihu battalion had all entered the city, so there was no point in attacking, so after dragging the corpse of the armor back into the formation, the thieves silently retreated.
The peach chased the rabbit into the bow and put it into the bag, only to find that the bow arm was shattered by an arrow just now.
But this is no longer important, Tao Chase Rabbit urged the horse into the city, clasped his fists with both hands, and proudly said to the defenders of the city:
"Take, Take"
Lan Ziyi turned around and urged the horse to follow, and said:
"Well done third brother, this time it really raised my Beizhen demeanor!"
Tao Zhutu laughed and said to Lan Ziyi:
"Young Master, do you think so too? I will be famous all over the world from now on! ”
The two of them entered the urn city with a smile and a smile, and the soldiers of the Jihu battalion made a way to cheer, and then followed the two into Xiangcheng.
In the city, both the defenders and the people said hello to the peach and rabbit, and Gao Yanzong took two steps and took one step down from the city wall, and personally held the horse halter of the peach and rabbit to lead the horse for him.
Gao Yanzong looked up at Tao Zhutu and said:
"Taojia Saburo is one shot at Xicheng today, which is definitely a good story for me Taizheng."
Tao Zhutu did not arrogantly let Gao Yanzong do this kind of servant for him, and after seeing Gao Yanzong coming to lead the horse, Tao Zhutu stepped across the saddle and dismounted, grabbed Gao Yanzong's hand and said:
"In that case, the tall man should ask the storyteller to tell me my story."
Gao Yanzong laughed and said:
"Of course, after the demon thief is destroyed, I will ask Mr. Storyteller to go to you city after city to make a name for you!"
Lan Ziyi smiled and watched the two of them joking, and was about to turn over and dismount to laugh with the two, when there was a tremor on the ground, and the city wall also swayed, and then there was a loud noise from the east city, and from a distance, a puff of smoke rose from the sky.
The huge explosion brought the people who were immersed in the joy of victory on the west side of the city gate back to reality, although all the dirt slopes on the west city wall were blown flat, and the thieves were also scared away by the peach chasing rabbit, but the thieves still continued to attack the city on the other three sides, and Xiangcheng was still in danger.
Just after the explosion, Peach Rabbit turned on his horse again and asked:
"What's going on?"
Before he could finish speaking, there was another violent explosion on the north side of the city wall, and the earth shook again in the thick of smoke.
After the earthquake, the people surrounding the west gate were somewhat commotionous, and some even wondered if the thieves attacked the city and ignited the gunpowder on the other walls.
Fortunately, at this time, Qiu Wenruo led people down from the city wall and said:
"Don't panic, everyone, I saw it on the city wall just now, the city wall is fine, it should be the east gate and north gate defenders who have blown up the dirt slope of the thief Kodeng City with gunpowder."
Lan Ziyi saw Qiu Wenruo going down to the city, first clasped his fists and saluted on the horse, and then asked:
"If this is really possible, it is a good thing, but the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion on the West Gate side rushed and killed for a long time to let the defenders succeed, why does Mr. think that the East Gate and the North Gate will be able to break the enemy with gunpowder so quickly?"
Qiu Wenruo replied:
"It's true that Wei Hou has been rushing out to kill for a long time before he has the current results, but the thieves are from the west, and it is reasonable that there are more thieves in the West Gate, and it is normal to be difficult to fight. But it's hard to say how much of an attack the thieves on the other three walls can have, and there are still buildings on the east side of the city that I have built, and it is not impossible to bury gunpowder by their own strength, but the casualties will be very large. “
While he was talking, there was a burst of cheers from the north side of the city wall, and the soldiers of the defending army told each other one after another, and finally the words reached the west gate, and some of the soldiers shouted to Lan Ziyi and them downstairs at the city gate:
"It's done! On the north side, General Tao Zhuhu blew up the earth mountain with gunpowder sent from the city, and the city wall was not damaged! ”
When all the sergeants heard this, they all cheered, and Lan Ziyi laughed happily when he heard the good news.
The good news is not only this, the sergeant at the head of the city has just reported the situation of playing at the north gate, and soon after that, there are also sergeants from the east who are riding horses and flying and rushing to the people, and say:
"The East Gate thieves have retreated! General Zhulu has used gunpowder to blow up all the thieves and mountains, and the thieves have retreated! ”
When everyone heard the news, there was another cheer that was higher than the sound just now, and the bloody battle finally achieved the desired results.
However, Lan Ziyi is not at ease, the earth mountain is bombed and the thieves can still pile up the earth mountain again, so when will it come to an end?
So Lan Ziyi got off the horse and squeezed to Qiu Wenruo's side and asked:
"Now although our army has repelled the bandits, the bandits will continue to attack the city, and we can't hold on to the endless.
Does Mr. Wen Ruo have a clever plan? “
Qiu Wenruo was also immersed in the joy of victory and smiled happily, and after hearing Lan Ziyi's worried question, Qiu Wenruo's face had a trace of sadness, but the grief was not caused by the threat of thieves, Qiu Wenruo replied:
"Wei Hou is too worried.
When I went down to the city to bury gunpowder just now, I found that many of the corpses of the people discarded by the thieves were women, and the thieves had reached their limits.
It's just that pity those people......"
Lan Ziyi nodded when he listened, so it seemed that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But why is there news in the east and north cities, but there is no movement in the south city?
At this time, an order ran from the south wall to the west gate, and said breathlessly to the Jihu camp that entered the city under the city:
"Just now, after Wei Hou rushed the southern bandit formation, the thief attack at the south gate became stronger and stronger, and now he is attacking the city like crazy, General Wei asked me to ask for reinforcements, and asked Wei Hou Ye to go over to help!"
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he hurriedly got on his horse and ordered:
"The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion obey the order! immediately rushed to the palace to change horses, and the defenders of the city immediately dispatched men to the south gate to support.
Today we have won, now what we have to do is to show the thieves that we are good!
Come with me, all the sergeants! “
Saying that, he raised his whip and urged the horse, and ran to the yamen of the county,
When the other sergeants heard this, they all shouted and acted, intending to give the thief a final look.
