Zhou Wei saw that the person who came was only wearing the armor worn by a junior officer, and knew that the level of this person in front of him was not enough, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "What about your superior?" Hurry up and take me to meet him! ”

The captain's name was He Bu, seeing that he looked anxious and knew that something was wrong, he hurriedly said: "Here is my highest official position, the general in charge of defending the city today is the battalion commander Lin Cheng, and he has already sent someone to inform him, but he has not arrived at this time!" ”

Zhou Wei couldn't help scolding, these pro-soldiers have a rich salary, and all kinds of treatment are much higher than those of the Yawai army, but they have been pampered for many years, although they have not yet become an unruly army like Wei Bojun's tooth army, but it is an indisputable fact that military discipline is lax. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Originally, according to discipline, the battalion commander who was responsible for guarding the city gate at this time should have stayed on the tower until the next group of successors arrived; But at this time, the battalion commander Lin Cheng was obviously seriously derelict in his duties.

Seeing Zhou Wei's expression, He Bu spoke: "What happened?" Did someone rebel? Maybe I can order the gates to be closed! ”

"You?"

Zhou Wei was a little surprised, casually closing the city gate was a big deal for a small team leader like him, he didn't expect the person in front of him to dare to say this.

However, the situation was urgent at this time, and Lin Cheng didn't know when he would be able to arrive, so Zhou Wei immediately told them about the situation they encountered.

"Is there really a rebellion?" He Bu was a little surprised, he had just seen some commotion in the outer city on the city tower, so he quickly sent someone to invite Lin Cheng over, but at this time, he was still shocked to hear that it was a mutiny.

"Yes, the rebels are rapidly approaching here, and they could arrive at any moment, so we must close the gates immediately!"

After a slight hesitation, the team resolutely ordered: "Close the city gates, close the city gates immediately!" ”

The soldiers were also relieved, they were very nervous when they heard the news of the rebellion, and feared that the rebels would come here immediately, and at this time, seeing that their captain had ordered the city gate to be closed, and whether such an order was in accordance with the rules or not, a dozen soldiers quickly moved into action.

Seeing that they began to take action, Zhou Wei had time to mention Yang Jing and their affairs, and asked He Bu to hurry up and prepare the hanging basket.

"Hanging basket?" He Bu frowned, this kind of east and west city is naturally prepared upstairs, sometimes after the city gate is closed at night, there are people who need to enter and exit the city of Yacheng, at this time, the city gate will definitely not be opened, but people will be hoisted in or out of the city with hanging baskets.

However, only one hanging basket is usually enough, after all, there are not many people who need to enter and exit the city gate at night; At this time, there is no place to prepare more hanging baskets.

He Bu explained the reason to Zhou Wei, and cold sweat broke out on Zhou Wei's forehead. He knew that this kind of hanging basket could only lift one person at a time, but Yang Jing and his party had more than a dozen people, and when they entered the city one by one, he didn't know how much time it would take, and the rebels would have already arrived by then.

"Do you have any extra ropes? As long as the length can be hung from the top of the castle tower to the bottom of the castle, it is strong enough! ”

"Yes, and there are enough of them!" He Bu immediately replied that although the rope is inconspicuous, it is sometimes very useful, and it is often used when defending the city, so there are many reserves in the city tower.

Hearing that there were enough ropes, Zhou Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but Yang Jing and they were still very dangerous, so at this time, he couldn't help but pray in his heart that the rebels would arrive late.

After a while, Yang Jing and the others also arrived on horseback, but looking out from the city tower, the rebels seemed to be arriving at this time, and they could vaguely feel the shaking of the ground, obviously there was a large group of cavalry galloping at a high speed, but there were houses to cover it, and it was impossible to see how many people there were.

Fortunately, at this time, the city gate has been completely closed, and there are many heavy objects in the back against the city gate, it is very difficult to open the city gate in a short time, and it is impossible for the rebels to break through the city in a short time.

"Quick, put the gondola and rope down!" Zhou Wei knew that it had reached a critical moment at this time, and his tone of voice was a little stammering.

After the hanging basket and rope were put down, Yang Jing and others in the city also quickly discussed.

"Sister, Mengjie, you two are petite and light, you can ride the hanging basket together, and the others will be tied with ropes and let the soldiers in the city pull us up." Yang Jing hurriedly said.

Although under normal circumstances, the hanging basket can only hold one person at a time, but now the situation is special and it is barely possible to fit two little girls.

"But ......"

Zhou Mengjie wanted to shirk, but Yang Jing couldn't help but push Yang Wen and Zhou Mengjie to the hanging basket, she noticed that the sound of horses' hooves behind her was getting closer and closer, and knew that the rebels were rapidly approaching, and this was not the time to hesitate.

Zhou Mengjie also knew this truth, so she didn't say much and went to the hanging basket with Yang Wen, and the soldiers in the city quickly put away the rope through the winch, and the hanging basket rose at a faster speed.

And the others also quickly tied themselves with ropes, of course, Yang Jing was the first to tie it with the help of the guards, and as the soldiers in the city worked together, she was also quickly hoisted.

"The rebels are coming!" At this time, some of the soldiers in the city shouted, and immediately everyone looked over, and Yang Jing and the others who were in the air also turned their heads at this time.

I saw hundreds of cavalry rushing towards the city gate at a rapid speed, and a cloud of dust rolled up behind them.

"Everyone, pull hard, hurry, hurry!" The soldiers in the city suddenly cheered loudly, and Zhou Wei's heart was so nervous that he was about to jump out at this time.

Fortunately, Yang Wen and Zhou Mengjie were faster because the hanging basket they were riding in was pulled up by a winch, and they had already gone up to the city wall at this time, and the others had already approached the city wall, as long as it took a while, they would be completely safe, and the rebels were still more than a hundred steps away from the city wall at this time, even if they wanted to shoot with a bow and arrow, it was difficult to hit at this distance.

However, at this moment, a man behind the rebel cavalry galloped quickly, and quickly rushed to the front of the cavalry ranks, he was tall, white robe and silver armor, and was extremely majestic, obviously a rebel general.

Seeing that the city gate had been closed, the man couldn't help but be furious, and when he saw Yang Jing and the others were on the city wall at this time, his anger immediately vented towards them. He took off the horned bow from his horse with his backhand, opened the bow and built it, and when he was still a hundred paces from the city gate, he shot at the speed of his horse at the few men who were still in the air.

"Medium!" The general shouted, and the feather arrow came out of the string, speeding across the sky, and its target was aimed at Yang Jing, who was already on the city wall.

Yang Jing was about to climb the city wall, and the rebel cavalry was still hundreds of steps away from here, she only said that she was already safe, but she didn't expect that at this moment, an arrow broke through the air, and she couldn't help but be shocked, but she had nowhere to borrow her strength in the air, although she tried her best to avoid it, she could only watch the arrow get closer and closer.

"No!"

Yang Jing only felt a pain in her chest, the arrow had already passed through her chest, and then all her strength seemed to be withdrawn from her body at this moment.

"Don't!"

"Get out of the way!"

Everyone on the city wall shouted, but all this happened in a short moment, and it was too late to change, so they could only hurriedly pull Yang Jing, who was full of blood, up the city wall.
