Chapter 132: Midnight Raid
February 2 new rain and sunny, is the annual dragon raised its head of the day, Xiao Xinyi followed the residents of Jianhe County to the land temple to burn incense and sacrifice, praying for a good year, busy one night just fell asleep, suddenly heard from the east of the city from the earth-shaking sound, was awakened after she hurriedly ran out of the yard to look east, far away you can see the east city wall fighting a piece, accompanied by the chilling shouting of killing.
In just a moment, Jianhe County, which was originally immersed in the night, was as bright as day, and the soldiers from the north and south city gates and the west city gate quickly went to the east gate to support, and the uniform footsteps were like thunder and wind in the dark night, which made the people hiding in the courtyard feel a little more relieved.
Xiao Xinyi's heart froze, at this time she only wanted to know if Zhuge Qinghong was outside the city wall, she didn't hear what Su Ren ordered, she only arched her hand to Su Ren and said, "Uncle Shi, I'll go to the city wall to have a look." ”
After Su Ren nodded, she didn't dare to delay the imperial light gong for half a moment and rushed to the east of the city, at that time, there were several bloody corpses scattered at the foot of the city wall, all of which had fallen from the city wall.
Later, Xiao Xinyi learned that it was a member of the 'Xubo Ting' sect who quietly climbed the city wall.
The battle on the city walls was not over, and a new wave of siege began under the city walls.
This was Xiao Xinyi's first experience of war, and the cruelty was far beyond her imagination, with severed limbs, flesh and blood flying, frightened and painful wails, the smell of gagging and the strong bloody smell, and the smoke and scorching smell made her stomach churn and almost vomit. She forcibly looked under the city wall, and the firelight scattered everywhere in her eyes, and she couldn't see him even if Zhuge Qinghong was below.
Suddenly, a large knife with a cold light slashed at her, and someone climbed up the ladder. Xiao Xinyi was stunned for a moment, she recognized the person who cut her with a knife, it was a person from Qingxiao Hall in Yongcheng, when they were guarding outside the Falling Moon Villa, Xiao Xinyi still remembered that his surname was Zhu Mingsheng. But at this time, Zhu Sheng was covered with blood that he didn't know if it was his or someone else's, and he slashed at her with a Xueliang big knife and covered his face, and Zhu Sheng, who used to blush when he said something to her, was like two people.
Maybe he didn't see Xiao Xinyi clearly in the dark, maybe he didn't recognize Xiao Xinyi because he was red-eyed, or maybe he recognized it, but he just regarded Xiao Xinyi as a traitor, and the traitor deserved to be punished by everyone.
No matter what the reason was, Xiao Xinyi looked at the young man who had respectfully called her deputy hall master, and was stunned and forgot to react.
With a crisp clanging sound, the knife in Zhu Sheng's hand was instantly picked in half by the 'Dream Back Sword', and Hu Guyue pulled her behind her and shouted, "Senior sister, do you want to die?" No way to hide. ”
"Don't kill him."
Hu Guyue heard Xiao Xinyi's urgent roar, and the sword that had already stabbed Zhu Sheng's heart was sideways, but it still stabbed Zhu Sheng's arm.
Zhu Sheng was stunned for a moment before he could speak, and suddenly spit blood and fell to the ground, behind him was the guard of Jianhe County with a red tassel gun in his hand, this shot was impartial and pierced into his heart, the guard stabbed Zhu Sheng without even looking at it, turned around and fought with the Falling Moon Army who climbed the city wall.
Hu Guyue squatted down, probed Zhu Sheng's snort, turned back to Xiao Xinyi, and said, "It's dead." ”
Xiao Xinyi's heart sank instantly, and before she could react, another knife shining with cold light slashed towards Hu Guyue with the momentum of thunder, Xiao Xinyi's hand 'Cloud Whip' was raised, and the big knife half a foot away from Hu Guyue cracked in response, Hu Guyue reacted and kicked the person off the city wall with a flying kick, but in an instant at Sumeru, most of the snow-white clothes of the two were dyed red.
Hu Guyue pulled Xiao Xinyi to retreat and fight, and only retreated from the city wall for a quarter of an hour, during which Xiao Xinyi whipped away the weapons of four people, and stabbed the wrists of two people with silver needles, although Xiao Xinyi didn't know them, he knew the clothes they were wearing, which was the clothes of the disciples of Qingxiao Hall who investigated the grievances and avenged the hatred for her Xiao family.
Hu Guyue wiped away the blood stains on her face that were about to solidify, and said to Xiao Xinyi, who was covering her heart: "Senior sister, you wait here and don't move, Youyou is still on it, I'll take her down, Uncle Shi ordered you to protect the county guard's mansion, and this place will be handed over to us." ”
Xiao Xinyi grabbed the corner of Hu Guyue's shirt who was about to turn around and leave, and struggled in his heart and couldn't say a word.
Hu Guyue sighed distressedly and said, "I know, I don't kill people from Qingxiao Hall." ”
Xiao Xinyi glanced at him gratefully, then let go of his hand.
After Hu Guyue left, she took a few steps back, leaning on the top of the city wall to stabilize her figure, she thought that she had seen through life and death with an indifferent temperament, she thought that she could complete the task assigned to her by the master, and she could be at ease when the war broke out.
It turned out that this was just her self-thought, in front of the brothers she had worked with, in front of the brothers she had worked with, in front of the brothers of Qingxiao Hall, her hands were as weak as her heart.
In any case, she can't whip Qingxiao's cousin.
Qin Youyou retreated from the city wall and saw Xiao Xinyi hurriedly running to her side and was about to speak, but was shocked by her dazed and helpless appearance, thinking of what Hu Guyue said to her, her heart hurt slightly, and she said softly: "Sister, you are okay." ”
Xiao Xinyi looked up and saw that it was her, stood up straight and replied, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"Hu Hu asked us to protect the Gan County Guard, let's go to the County Guard Mansion now."
"Okay."
The county guard mansion is located in the middle of Jianhe County, at this time the entire mansion is brightly lit, from time to time there are soldiers entering the mansion to report the situation outside, and the usually heavily guarded county guard mansion does not even have a guard soldier at this time, Xiao Xinyi and Qin Youyou went in directly.
"Damn, how did those people come up, why did they come up without even making a sound, how could it be..."
"Smash, smash Lao Tzu to death with a rolling wooden squirt stone to kill those sons of bitches..."
"The city is in the people, if you want to take Jianhe County, unless you step on Lao Tzu's corpse..."
Although Xiao Xinyi and Qin Youyou were only standing in the courtyard and had not entered the main hall, the voice of Zeng Meng being angry and scolding his mother still came into their ears clearly, compared to this, Gan Yue and Su Ren's voices were almost inaudible. After scolding in the middle of the night, Zeng Meng was probably tired of scolding, and he left the county guard mansion with a spear and ran towards the east of the city.
As soon as Zeng Meng and his personal guards left, except for the disciples of the Double Holy Gate, there were only some old and weak women and children left in the entire palace. After Su Ren left two disciples of the Medical Holy Gate to explain to Xiao Xinyi to protect the county guard, he also rushed to the east of the city with the disciples of the Double Holy Gate to support.
It wasn't until the sky was slightly white, and the shouting and killing that resounded all night stopped, but it only stopped for half an hour, and after half an hour, the county guard ran into a soldier with an arrow on his shoulder, and after seeing everyone, he fell to the ground and said angrily: "General Zeng ordered his subordinates to report that the thieves have begun to attack the city, and there are traitors in the city who should join forces with the outside, and Jianhe County is afraid that it will not be able to be saved. ”
With that, the soldier fainted. At this time, in addition to the earth-shattering shouts of killing in the city, there was also a sudden sound of breaking the air, and the overwhelming bows and arrows shrouded everyone in Jianhe County in death.
