Chapter 32: Defending the City Heroically

Those people, as Zhang Shun said, ran to the city gate under the threat of the Jianyu soldiers.

Seeing that the people slowly stopped and looked to the north, the Jianyu soldiers hidden in the crowd immediately showed their blades and began to slash the people.

At this time, the crowd suddenly became chaotic again, and the result of the chaos was that some of the people turned around and fled for their lives to the north despite the slashing and killing of the Jianyu, and some of them were driven by the Jianyu and continued to run towards the city gate.

Needless to say, the people who ran in the direction of the city gate were immediately shot at by the defenders of the city, and they immediately fell to the ground, and those who dared to stop were immediately cut down by the Jianyu.

Although many people ran to the north, the Jianlu cavalry behind saw that some people were fleeing north, and immediately urged their horses to chase and kill these people, and in the end, most of the people were still brutally poisoned by Jianlu, and only a small number of people fled into the mountains.

Seeing countless innocent people slaughtered by Jianlu, Yang He clenched his fists tightly and muttered: "Jianlu killed my people today, and I will repay it tenfold in the future." ”

Immediately, I heard a person behind me shouting: "If you want to avenge these people, you must first save your life!" ”

Yang He turned around suddenly, only to see the dog standing behind Luo Zheng.

"Dashuai, why are you here?" Yang He said busily.

Luo Yi sneered: "Why am I here? What were you just hesitating about? Why not give the order to shoot right away? If I hadn't come in time, these people would have come to the city gate with the captives, and if the captives had set fire to the city gates, the city gates would have been lost. Compared to the lives of thousands of soldiers in the city and thousands of people who are being evacuated, these thousands of people are nothing! ”

"What the marshal reprimanded is that it is the general's dereliction of duty." Black Cloud Crane said busily.

"For the general, don't be indecisive, if you hesitate, you will make a big mistake! For the sake of the generals, they must kill and decide, and there shall be no mercy of a woman. Luo always shouted.

"The last general will remember the teachings of the great commander!" The Black Cloud Crane replied loudly.

Seeing that Luo Cheng was staring at his eyes tightly, Yang He knew that Luo Cheng was actually saying these words to himself.

But his status is humble, and he can't answer loudly like Black Cloud Crane, so he can only reply in a low voice: "Thank you for your teachings." ”

Luo Yi nodded, pointed out of the city, and shouted: "Shoot everyone who is close to the moat!" ”

"Yes!" The Black Cloud Crane replied.

Then he turned to the soldier and shouted: "The commander has an order, all those who approach the moat are killed." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers replied loudly.

At this time, there were less than 200 people in front of the moat outside the city, and dozens of Jianyu soldiers were threatening to kill the people with knives.

Seeing the appearance of the Jianguo soldiers, Yang He estimated the distance, suddenly took a bow and an arrow, aimed at a Jianguo and shot an arrow.

The Jianyu soldier didn't expect the Ming army's bow and arrow to shoot so far, and when he noticed it, he couldn't dodge it, the arrow hit the throat, and the Jianyu soldier grabbed the arrow shaft, and made a ho-ho sound in his mouth, and he didn't understand where this arrow came from when he was dying.

Yang He shot Jianlu with an arrow, and all the soldiers saw it, and everyone cheered in unison for a while.

Luo Zheng also applauded loudly: "Good shot, let Jianyu also see the methods of my Ming man!" ”

After saying this, Luo Yiyi's body suddenly shook, and Yang He's hands were quick and he held Luo Yiyi.

Luo always stretched out his hand to push Yang He away, but his hands and feet were weak, but he didn't push it away.

Seeing that Luo's face was pale and his chest couldn't help rising and falling, Yang He hurriedly said to the dog: "Li Wei, come and help the big handsome go down." ”

Luo always shook his head: "No, I want to stay in the city, and I want to defend the city with my brothers." ”

"Dashuai!" Yang He choked up.

Luo Yi gently patted Yang He's shoulder: "Yang He, you have to remember that as a general, you must share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and at this time, I am in the city, and I can stabilize the morale of the army." ”

After taking a breath for a while, Luo always smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be able to die for a while." ”

Luo has always been weak in his speech, but his attitude is extremely resolute, and Yang He knows that he can't persuade Luo Cheng to return.

After thinking about it, Yang He said: "Then you sit down and rest, brothers will only be stable when they see that you are fine." ”

Luo thought about it and nodded slightly.

Yang He hurriedly said to Li Wei: "Li Wei, move a chair over and get another quilt." ”

Li Wei nodded and walked quickly down the city wall.

Helping Luo Cheng to the back of the suspension bridge, Yang He said: "Dashuai, shelter from the wind here, you sit here." ”

Luo always shook his head: "You can't see the enemy army outside the city here, help me to the side." ”

Yang He had no choice but to help Luo Yi to the side of the suspension bridge.

At this time, the prisoners outside the city suddenly saw that their accomplices were shot and killed, and they no longer dared to be as wanton as they were just now, but they did not retreat, but hid behind to drive the people.

The Jianlu soldiers were dressed in the clothes of the Ming people, and they hid behind the people, so they couldn't see Jianlu holding a blade, and Yang He couldn't tell which one was Jianlu.

After all, Yang He is different from those soldiers, those soldiers belong to aimless shooting, as long as they are close to the moat, they are all their targets, and it is possible to kill civilians, or they may kill Jianju.

Yang He's archery was aimed at a clear goal, and let Yang He shoot arrows at the people, but Yang He couldn't do it after all.

Seeing Yang He holding the bow and arrow outside the city for a while and then withdrawing it, Luo Yi shook his head and said: "Yang He, although you can't bear to shoot the people, but these people will not escape death after all, it's just a moment earlier and a moment later." So you don't have to be unbearable, you just need to remember why these people died, and avenge them in the future. ”

Yang He was silent for a while, then nodded emphatically.

Immediately, Yang He quickly opened his bow and shot arrows out of the city, and then fired several arrows in succession.

In the past few days, Yang He has been using bows and arrows all day long, and his archery has grown better than before.

Yang He's arrows shot people were all not accurate just now, and it turned out that Yang He's vision was still very accurate, and only one of the few people shot was an ordinary person, and the rest were Jianyu soldiers.

Previously, Yang He suddenly shot a Jianyu with a cold arrow, and the rest of the people didn't know where the arrow came from, but now several colleagues have been killed in a row, and the rest of the Jianyu have seen the direction of the arrow.

Raising his eyes, he saw a person holding a bow and arrow at the drawbridge searching for the target, and the rest of the Jianyu were horrified, at such a distance, only the most elite soldiers among the Jianyu could shoot so far.

Seeing that Yang He shot two more people, the rest of Jianlu did not hesitate, turned around and ran back, retreating dozens of steps before stopping.

Although Jianyu retreated, Heiyunhe did not order the door to open the door and let the remaining people enter the city, Jianyu was eyeing the rest of the people behind, it was a matter of the safety of the soldiers in the city, how dare Heiyunhe take the risk?

The people of the city knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, seeing that the soldiers in the city just ignored them, and seeing that there was no hope of survival, they suddenly scolded, and when they heard the people shouting and scolding, the defenders of the city were ashamed.

The people in the city scolded for a while, and suddenly cried again, and one of them said: "The military master of the city, you suspect that there are Jian's spies among us and dare not open the door, and we don't blame you, but there are still a few children here, these children will not be spies, please put a rope down and pull these children up." ”

After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Seeing that there were indeed a few young children in the crowd, Yang He hurriedly said to Hei Yunhe: "Sanrong, quickly let someone put a rope down and pull the child up." ”

Black Cloud Crane turned his head to look at Luo Yiyi, and seeing that Luo Zheng nodded slightly, Black Cloud Crane hurriedly ordered the soldiers to find a rope to save people.

When the soldiers were looking for the rope, Yang He suddenly stood by the wall, pointed his bow at the crowd and said: "Let the woman send the child over, and the rest must not move, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”

But seeing that there were a few people in the crowd who were not like the people, Yang He was afraid that these people were Jianyu soldiers, so he stood by the wall and threatened with a bow.

Hearing the defenders of the city shouting for women to send their children, several women hurriedly ran down the city with their children in their arms.

After a while, several soldiers found a few ropes and hung them down.

Seeing the rope lowered from the city, the crowd began to agitate, and one of them said, "Pull us up too." ”

Saying that, he got up and ran down the city, Yang He had one hand, nailed the man to the ground with an arrow, and put an arrow in his backhand, shouting: "If you dare to act recklessly, this is an example!" ”

Seeing that Yang He shot the man to death, the rest of the people were so shocked that they didn't dare to move anymore.

By this time, the women had already run to the bottom of the city, grabbed the rope and quickly tied the child, and several soldiers quickly pulled the child up.

Several children cried in fright in the air, and couldn't stop shouting: "Mother! Mother! ”

The women in the city also couldn't stop crying: "Child, when you go to the city and listen to the words of the military master, my mother will never see you again!" ”

Yang He couldn't bear it when he heard this, so he turned to the soldiers and said, "Pull these women up too." ”

Then he shouted to the city, "All the women come here." ”

I don't want a woman in the crowd to cry: "Thank you, Master Jun, it's just that we men are below, and I don't want to leave the man to live alone." ”

Immediately, I heard a man persuade his wife to flee for her life.

Hearing the crying of the city, Yang He sighed, saying that husband and wife were originally birds of the same fate, and they flew separately when disaster came, but these women were unwilling to give up their husbands to live alone, which was really admirable.

Sighing, Yang He said: "Women and those with families should come over, and those who don't have families will be sorry." ”

After listening to Yang He's words, several couples in the city were overjoyed, kowtowed a few times, and ran to the city.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, but it was Jianyu who saw that the defenders in the city began to save people, and rushed over at a faster speed.

Yang He saw the great urgency and exclaimed urgently: "Hurry up!" ”

Then I heard the people in the city suddenly shouting: "Fight with the dog Tartar!" ”

"That's right! Fight! Someone in the crowd yelled again.

Then I heard another person shouting: "The military master in the city, we fought with the dog Tartars, so as not to embarrass the military masters, and hope that the military master will avenge us in the future!" ”

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and rushed towards Jianyu.

When Yang He saw it, he burst into tears for a while, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground, crying: "Folks, we are sorry for you......"

Yang He stood up suddenly and shouted, "Have you seen it, brothers?" The people under the city are our Ming people, today Jianyu slaughtered my people, we are soldiers, can not protect the territory and the people, it is a great shame, Yang He swore here, in the future, let Jianyu pay ten times the price of a hundred times, avenge the villagers! ”
