Chapter Seventy-Four: The Siege of the Orchid Court

Shortly after Zhao Fu arrived at the royal court, the Templars quietly appeared outside the city under the leadership of Siboro. In Ahuyu's view, the entire North Courtyard may not be as important as a Lanting City. This large fortress and military city located in the northwest of the Lanhe Empire is strategically located between the North Garden, the Western Desert and the Lanhe Empire. Using a North Court that can be called back at any time to exchange for an Orchid Garden, Si Boluo thinks this deal is very cost-effective.

It's just that Lanting City is a strong city, and Xia Yingyang and the others have already prepared, although there are not many troops in the city, it is not a problem to hold it for a while. Si Boluo cut off the communication between the north and the south, and all the messengers sent by Lanting City were intercepted: Lanting could not transmit the news to the imperial capital to the south, and he could not send the battle situation to Zhao Fu to the north. Of course, news from the outside world could not reach Lanting, and Xia Yingyang and the others knew that they could not be surrounded like this. Zhao Fu's lone army also took a huge risk when he went out to go deep into the North Court, and it was impossible for Lanting City to keep it all the time. After much deliberation, they decided to use the Night Wolf Force to break through and report the news. The Templars' combat power suddenly skyrocketed like this, which made Xia Yingyang and the others defending the city also have a headache, the Night Wolf Force was an elite force far beyond the Imperial Guard, and every battle loss was a huge loss.

In the middle of the night, the gates of Lanting City opened, and dozens of people rushed out from each gate. Hurrying up, they rushed towards the North Court and the Imperial Capital, facing the flying arrows, just to be able to fight for the farthest safe distance for the night wolf behind them.

This is war, and everyone wears the bloody clothes of family and country to meet death with calm and indifferent eyes. There are constantly people falling down among the knights, and soon new ones will fill the vacancy. There was no screaming in their ears, but no one wailed, all gritted their teeth and endured the pain, and their heads were full of heroism and blood, and they were all focused on the reins and stirrups.

One step forward is victory.

The Templars soon approached as well, not allowing their encirclement to be breached. After experimenting and finding that the bow and arrow were not as effective as they could be, the Templars opted for close combat.

The Lan court defenders were not afraid at all, many of them had already been hit by several arrows, but as long as they didn't hit the vital point, the pain embedded in their muscles became the motivation to drive them to fight bravely and burn their potential.

The defenders of Lanting drew their sabers from their horses' bags, and they were still fighting for their lives.

The Templars were horrified to find that their combat power after being blessed by divine power was actually suppressed by these Lanting defenders, but fortunately, there were enough of them, two if one could not be stopped, and three if two could not be stopped, they could always be stopped.

The moon in the sky was half covered by black clouds, but the earth was lit up with one, two, three...... Countless torches.

The few remaining Lanting defenders turned pale when they saw the torches lit in front of them. These torches meant that all their previous efforts, all their sacrifices were in vain.

The Templar reinforcements were endless, but the defenders of the Orchid Court who broke through could only exchange their lives for their lives, and the more they exchanged, the fewer they went.

Liu San, like his ordinary name, is an ordinary soldier. He was born in Lanting since he was a child, grew up in Lanting, and fought several battles. A few days ago, he went to propose to Cuihua next door, but he was returned, and he couldn't ask the reason if she didn't say the reason. When the marriage was blown out, he had no intention of retiring from the army, and returned to the army to eat and live with his brothers.

didn't catch up with Zhao Fu's expedition to the north, but fortunately, Si Boluo didn't disappoint him, and soon Lanting City was surrounded by the Templars of the Holy Sect. Originally, I thought that this was the Holy Sect playing with fire, but I didn't expect that the Templars' combat power was far stronger than their overestimates, and the huge Lanting City was simply besieged. The siege continued, and Sborough kept his patience. Lan Ting City didn't want to wait any longer, and several commanders of the City Lord's Mansion decided to spread the news, even if they couldn't find Zhao Fu who was still on the grassland, they had to pass the news to His Majesty who was far away in the capital.

Liu San signed up directly, he didn't know why, everyone knew that this was an almost mortal action, so he silently registered.

He probably guessed it, but he didn't look down on him. He didn't even have a position in the army, just a poor soldier, there was no one in the family, his parents had died of illness, and his eldest brother had died in a skirmish with the Hu people four years earlier. There was no one left at home, so he wrote the name of Cuihua next door on the pension list.

He was just a poor soldier, he couldn't read a few words, he couldn't recite poetry, and he couldn't be elegant; He has no things at home, and he has no long things to ask for; He was just a poor soldier, and he could only go to the battlefield to beg for his life.

He glanced at his companions, and he didn't know what kind of belief those people had in order to participate in this operation. But it doesn't matter, he is lucky and unlucky, he is placed in the innermost, he may be the last person to die besides the night wolf, so he will also suffer the most.

"Come on!" Liu San suddenly shouted, and he drew his saber and stabbed into the body of one of the Templars, while he was also impaled through the body by two other Templars.

I wonder what Cuihua will do when she sees that pension? Liu San stirred the saber in the Templar's body and suddenly thought.

Probably scared, right? Liu San knew that it was too normal for Cuihua to look down on herself. But this bereavement pension should make her live a good life, right? Liu San smiled and drew his saber back, and the Templar fell to the ground. He was hit by two swords, but he didn't hurt his heart and lungs, and he could still think.

Now she should be looking up to herself, right? Liu San's body began to bleed, and his movements were already sluggish, but this did not prevent him from taking another sword, and then slashing the Templar's neck with his saber.

This kind of hand-to-hand combat has no technical content at all, because Liu San is just begging for death, he doesn't care how many times he is cut, all he has to do is to exchange his life for his life, his life for the life of the Templars, and the life of the night wolf behind him.

Will she regret it? Liu San no longer has the strength to swing the saber, he is about to turn into a blood stopper, he has already killed three people, but it is not enough. He grabbed the nearest Templar and threw the Templar off his horse. He was more like a wolf than he could hold on to his saber, and he searched for the Templar's neck with his teeth and the Templar's eyes with his fingers.

The Lanting defenders who broke through were dying, and finally revealed the night wolf lying on the warhorse.

Xu is Liu San's movements were too scary, and the night wolf who had been silent also turned his head to look at him.

Liu San, who felt the gaze, was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was not a blood-drinking beast.

"Let's go! Let's go! Rush out! Liu San used his last strength to shout at the night wolf, please don't let us down.

That night, the wolf glanced at Liu San for the last time, probably wanting to remember Liu San's appearance. At last he raised his whip and drove his horse out like an arrow.

"Let's go, brother." Liu San's hoarse voice sounded in his ears.

"It's not ...... Can you talk......" Liu San looked at the rapidly shrinking horse and said his last words.

The silent night wolf is no longer silent, he has no brothers and partners to rely on, but he will also be fearless. He replaced it with a long knife, which was physically demanding, but only then could he rush out.

It's an arrow, a terrible lone wolf, he's already made his way into the crowd, and then all he has to do is rush out, it's as simple as that.

The lone wolf swung his long knife and slashed down the offenders one by one, which was no longer an order of magnitude opponent, and while inflicting huge casualties on the Templars, he did not lose the speed of his breakthrough. He descended like the Demon God of the Holy Cult and forced the Templars back.

Soon no one dared to stop him, and the Templars switched to bows and arrows, hoping to shoot him off his horse.

On the second day, in the tent where the Holy Church was stationed.

"Archbishop, we're missing someone." A Templar reported to Sborough.

"Got it, it's the night wolf, let's withdraw our troops." Si Boluo looked at the scroll in his hand, more than two hundred people, and he couldn't stop a broken through night wolf? He had only heard of the terrible combat power of that army, but he had never thought that he would be lucky enough to fight and make such a mess of himself.

"But ......" The Templars were not willing, and it only took a few more days, and maybe Lan Ting would be able to defeat it.

"There's no hurry."

"There's no hurry." Si Boluo rolled up the scroll in his hand, "Zhao Fu, this person is very dangerous, we may not be his opponents." ”

"Yes!" Then the Templars went down.

Si Boluo followed out of the tent and looked at the walls of Lanting City not far away. It's a pity, he thought to himself, if the Beiting side can still drag on for a while, this Lanting will be able to fight down. After defeating the Lan Ting, they opened the door to the Lanhe Empire in the south, and laying the Lan Ting was equivalent to giving the Holy Sect one more barrier, but unfortunately it was destined not to work this time. Si Boluo was a little annoyed, that Oriho Valley only dragged Zhao Fu for half a day, it was really a waste, the Hu people in the entire Beiting were waste!

The Templars began to evacuate in batches, preferably before Zhao Fu arrived, otherwise he would not be able to bear the consequences of being attacked from both sides.

At this moment, a Templar rushed forward on horseback.

"Good news, archbishop, good news!" The Templar gasped for a long time: "Lanting City, the city is broken!" ”
