107.Chapter 126
[Second update, to!] 】
After some commotion on the east gate tower, it gradually regained its calm, and in a blink of an eye the sky was dark, and a new moon climbed up the willow tops, and it was night.
Guo Ye arranged for Pang Feihu and Zhu Fatzi to lead nearly 100 officials and 200 pouts to supervise the city, and ordered Sun Mingyan to take the remaining 100 pimpy men down the city tower, all of them blocked behind the city gate, and guarded to prevent thieves from hitting the door.
Then he found a corner on the castle tower where no one was around, and since the beginning of the siege of the city, he had not slept well, and at this time the upper eyelids knocked the lower eyelids, and he was so sleepy that he dozed off.
Even tigers have times when they take a nap, let alone a young man with strong blood.
Then he untied his white cloak and wrapped himself tightly around his body, leaned against the wall in the corner and squinted, and after a while, he began to fall asleep.
Tonight's Longxi city is silent, even the noisy insects and frogs that are not idle on weekdays and nights have stopped, only the wind blowing the big flag of the city is still roaring, not only there is no sign of stopping, on the contrary, the blowing is getting bigger and bigger, as if to overturn the entire city tower.
Many of the officials guarding the city tower were blown cold to the bones by the fierce west wind, and their cheeks ached, and they squatted down one after another, leaning against the city wall to resist the wind and cold.
Zhu Fatzi was wide and fat, standing on the city tower really couldn't withstand the cold attack of the west wind roaring, and threw down a sentence to Pang Feihu: "Old Zhu can't stand it, go find a padded jacket to keep out the cold." ”
After saying that, he rushed down the castle tower.
Pang Feihu snorted, stretched out his hand and touched the fierce west wind in the void without a trace, and sighed: "It's really evil, it's the first time I've encountered such a strong wind this year." I hope that the thieves will not want to come to attack the city because of the cold weather. ”
Time passed minute by minute, but in the eyes of Pang Feihu and the officials guarding the city, this time passed too slowly, and it was tormented like ants climbing into a hot pot.
Even though time is difficult, the west wind is roaring, and there is still a ray of dawn on the eastern horizon, and the haze before dawn has been opened.
Pang Feihu crossed his fingers and counted it, but it could be regarded as staying up until the fourth watch.
"Ahem......"
The fat man Zhu who was wrapped in a rotten cotton coat coughed like a tumbler, and staggered to Pang Feihu's side, hehe smiled: "I'm sorry, Pang Zhutou, Lao Zhu just dozed off at home, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, cough, ......cough,
Pang Feihu just complained about Zhu Fatzi's laziness, and suddenly his nose choked, his eyes were sour and couldn't open them, and he coughed again and again.
Immediately afterwards, nearby, around, and not far away, there were bursts of choking, coughing, and scolding:
"Ahem......"
"Ahem, ahem...... It's so choking! ”
"Where did the fog come from? Ahem, why is the morning fog so big today? ”
"Ahem, it's smoked to death, this is not morning fog, it seems that someone's house is on fire!"
Suddenly, Zhu Fatzi covered his nose, looked hard at the outside of the city, and shouted at Pang Feihu: "Pang Zhutou, look, look!" ”
Pang Feihu rubbed his sour eyes, looked out of the city, and was dumbfounded!
The red light in the sky burned red everything he could see in front of him.
A crackling sound was faintly heard, and puffs of smoke filled the front with a sparkling fire, roaring in this direction under the roar of the wind.
Pang Feihu's nose felt a burning pain on the tip of his nose, and when he wiped it with his hand, it was full of ashes, the kind of ashes that burned the wood.
When Pang Feihu reacted to the red light in front of him, he couldn't see anything clearly in front of him, and the smoke was swirling, and he took advantage of the wind to blow over, and it was hazy and misty......
"Ahem," Pang Feihu covered his mouth and nose again, and shouted at Zhu Fatzi, "Quick, quickly notify Brother Guo, the thieves are coming!" ”
Before Pang Feihu finished speaking, the fat man Zhu beside him had disappeared.
After only a few breaths, Guo Ye, who was also choked by the smoke, came to Pang Feihu's side under the leadership of Zhu Fatzi.
Like Pang Feihu, Guo Ye clenched his mouth and nose, had difficulty breathing, and all he saw was a white fog.
However, he already had a sense of foreboding in his heart, and he immediately understood that the things in front of him were definitely not accidental, and it must be the thieves who were making trouble.
Suddenly, he tore off a large piece of underwear, ran to the corner and found a wooden barrel filled with water, soaked the rags and covered his mouth and nose, took a few greedy breaths, and then shouted to Pang Feihu: "Quick, quickly tell the brothers to tear a strip of cloth, block their mouths and noses, don't let the smoke enter their lungs, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!" ”
After Pang Feihu received the order, he and Zhu Fatzi drew a gourd in the same way, tore off their clothes, soaked their mouths and noses, and ran to the top of the city, informing everyone to hurry up and take defensive measures.
All of a sudden, the sound of crackling and tearing resounded throughout the city.
Guo Ye knew that this was not a long-term solution, and he could keep the brothers from sucking the smoke into his mouth for a short time, but if he allowed the smoke to invade the city like this, the people defending the city would not have the slightest defensive power at all.
Because he has now guessed the thief's trick, Guan Dove's poisonous scheme.
The thieves did nothing more than to take advantage of the west wind to ignite fireworks, and use the billowing smoke to smoke the guards at the head of the city, so that Longxi City had no power to fight back.
What should I do?
Guo Ye was in a hurry and couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while.
But now that it was too imminent for him to procrastinate, he faintly heard the running and shouting of killing from behind the billowing smoke.
Obviously, the horn of the thieves attacking the city has already sounded, and perhaps behind the fog and blurred vision, there are already nearly a thousand thieves waving their swords and rushing towards the city gate.
Arrows?
No, you can't see where the thieves are, where are the arrows?
When the thieves climb up to the city and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them?
This is even more unfeasible, there are nearly 1,000 thieves in the army, and there are only a few hundred people on his side, and they are all officials and gangsters who are not familiar with swords, bows and martial arts, how can they be thieves and thieves who are in the company of swords all day long?
Not only are the two sides not at the same level in terms of numbers, but even their individual combat capabilities are not at the same level.
If the thieves are allowed to go to the city, for Guo Ye, it is tantamount to digging his own grave and killing himself, and when the time comes, it will be really difficult to drive the thieves out of the city, and it will be difficult to go to the sky.
What to do?
Suddenly, Zhu Fatzi ran towards him and shouted, "Little brother, Ma Gongcao is here." ”
Ma Yuanju?
A glimmer of hope rose in Guo Ye's heart, maybe this trick can solve my temporary predicament.
When Ma Yuanju came over with a wooden barrel, Guo Ye found that not only Ma Yuanju was here, but there were many, many other people, all dressed up as the elders of the city.
These men worked in pairs to lift a steaming wooden barrel with a flat pole, about two or three hundred people, many of whom still carried large cauldrons on their shoulders and dry firewood in their arms.
These people spontaneously organized a group of three or five people, and set up a cauldron on the castle tower and burned firewood, as if to boil water.
Guo Ye's heart at this time was like three hundred and fifty hairy monkeys jumping around, panicked, at this time, seeing these people doing this, the second monk was even more confused, what are you going to do?
Just when Guo Ye was confused, Ma Gongcao came to Guo Ye's voice and shouted: "Brother, don't worry, I have a strategy to retreat from the enemy." ”
How to retreat from the enemy?
After Guo Ye heard this, he no longer cared about what those fathers and elders in the city wanted to do, but grabbed Ma Yuanju's arm and shouted: "Ma Gongcao, hurry up, I can't see anything now, the spears and arrows are in vain, and I don't know where the thieves are." ”
The implication is that now everyone is choked by the smoke as if they are blind, and it is all useless.
Ma Yuanju was not in a hurry at all, shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, brother, you have a virtuous helper!" ”
Where does Guo Ye still have the leisure to fight with him, what kind of virtuous help, Ma Yuanju is useless even if he praises his daughter-in-law Wu Xiuxiu like a Nine Heavens Xuannu.
Now saving the city is like fighting a fire, and there must be no delay.
Seeing that Guo Ye was absent-minded, Ma Yuanju glared at himself as if scratching his liver, laughed again, raised his right hand high and raised it gently, and shouted: "Xiuxiu girl, you should come and explain it in detail with your family!" ”
Xiuxiu girl?
Guo Ye was almost stunned by this name, when did Wu Xiuxiu also come to the city tower? Listening to the meaning of Ma Yuanju's words, could it be that this so-called strategy of retreating from the enemy was proposed by Xiuxiu?
Immediately, along Ma Yuanju's right arm, Guo Ye stared at-
A figure stood in the crowd not far away,
Qianqian's figure is graceful and graceful, and her purple skirt is very dazzling in the smoke and fire that fills the sky, just like the Nine Heavens Xuannu descending to earth.
