The heavy rain that had been pouring all night finally stopped in the early morning, but the dark clouds that had gathered in mid-air never dispersed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
First of all, the first to return to Xiliang City, is Yangcheng Gongzi, Liu Yidao, Liu Daxing, Crazy Bull, Life and Death, and the seven thousand cavalry under his command, although baptized under the heavy rain overnight, the whole earth is like a quagmire, but it did not hinder the pace of the Xiliang cavalry, which was learned from the Xiliang horse thief, and tied smooth leather on the horse's four hooves, so that the horse's hooves are not easy to sink into the mud.
The prince of Yangcheng rushed to Xiliang Xicheng with a mighty 7,000 horsemen, and asked his cavalry to shout at the city to open the city gate.
However, at this time, the Marquis of Yijian stood up and asked a guard with a sword to go down from the cradle to the city, informing the prince of Yangcheng that the gate of the west city had been sealed, and let them enter the city from the east city.
Sealed?
Hearing that, the city gate of Xicheng was sealed, and the faces of the five people of Yangcheng Gongzi, Liu Yidao, Liu Daxing, Crazy Bull, and Life and Death Tribulation all sank, and sure enough, something happened in Xiliang City, otherwise the city gate would not have been blocked.
"Go back and tell your adjutant general, I'll come back to see him." Gongzi Yangcheng still thought that the commander of Xicheng was still a hermit, and it was not to blame him, after all, Gongzi Yangcheng did not know what was happening in Xiliangcheng.
The guards with knives were stunned for a moment, but nodded yes, but the prince of Yangcheng had already rushed away with the cavalry outside the East City.
In desperation, the guard with the sword shook his head, returned to the city, and told the sword seal marquis exactly what the general Yang Chenggong said just now.
And the Marquis of Yijian just nodded and didn't say anything.
The wine fairy is on the top of the city tower, launching the most powerful fire not to extinguish the fire as a signal, during the wine alone was drunk more than ten jars, even Gotulu saw the wine fairy this way of drinking is not as good as himself, and finally I don't know whether the wine fairy is drunk, or what, the fire is gradually weakened, extinguished, and the wine fairy also fell down.
This frightened Li Gu and Gotulu, and Li Gu hurriedly asked Gotulu to go up and save the wine fairy to see what was going on.
As a result, Gotulu hugged the wine fairy and said with a puzzled face: "It seems that I fell asleep when I was drunk, but I seem to have collapsed again." Seeing that the wine fairy was snoring, but he felt that the wine fairy was very weak, which made it difficult for Gotulu to judge.
"It should be out of strength, let him rest for a while, and give him a few jars of wine again." Absolute boredom came out of the castle tower.
Behind him are the five masters, your brother, and the flower arrangement.
After listening to the absolutely boring words, Li Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked people to take the wine fairy down to rest.
Then, absolutely bored, he turned to Li Gu and said, "If there is no accident, our cavalry will come back soon." ”
Li Gu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be soon." "Once absolutely bored, the others sat on the Yang Cheng Gongzi and the others who were in the silver mine and the Xiliang cavalry to test how much time it would take them to rush back to Xiliang City from the silver mine.
Therefore, it is absolutely boring and Li Gu and others know that it will not be long before the Xiliang cavalry will come back.
However, things are often unexpected, and the Xiliang cavalry led by the prince of Yangcheng all went to the Xicheng side, and it was not them who were the first to return to the city, but Xue Yu, Hu Ben, Xiao O, and 15,000 soldiers who guarded the gold mine.
"It seems that you have miscalculated, and it is not the son who came back first." Your brother has just returned from outside the city, and he has confirmed who came back first.
"Oh? Who can run faster than our cavalry? Absolutely bored asked with a slightly surprised smile.
Brother Gui replied with a smile: "The drunkard's side, Xue Yu, Hu Ben and Xiao O." ”
"So fast?" After listening to this, even Li Gu felt incredible, the speed of the infantry was faster than the cavalry.
Originally, the gold mine was the closest to Xiliang City, and the wine fairy ran to Xicheng mainly because Xicheng was guarded by the hermit and could let him go into the city to drink, so he took a long detour to Xicheng.
Among the four major mining areas, the gold mine has the largest number of troops among the four mining areas, with a full 15,000 troops; secondly, the two iron mines each have 10,000 troops; In the end, there is the silver mine of the prince of Yangcheng, seven thousand cavalry.
When they arrived at the city gate, Xue Yu, Hu Ben, and Xiao O saw the scarred city gate, and their expressions were not much better, the city gate was injured like this, it was obvious that someone had come to attack the city, but there was no enemy found along the way, which made the three of them puzzled, and then your brother appeared at the city gate, telling the three of them to quickly gather in the city tower after entering the city, and then disappeared without saying anything.
Just as the city gate was slowly opened, the soldiers who had returned from the gold mine noticed that something was coming from the west, and immediately reported to Xue Yu and the others.
"The whole army is arrayed, with swords and shields in front and spears in the back." After hearing the soldier's proclamation, the tiger immediately jumped out and commanded the whole army, and the sound was like thunder.
After the order of the tiger ben, the fifteen thousand soldiers quickly changed formation, the first row of sword and shield soldiers all raised their shields and crouched, the second row of pikemen raised their spears in the direction of the comer, and after the pikemen there was another row of sword and shield soldiers, and the duty of this row of sword and shield soldiers was to protect the pikemen from the enemy's bow and arrow fire.
When Yang Cheng Gongzi and the others were about to approach the East City Gate, Liu Yidao suddenly shouted: "All stop advancing." ”
"Damn, there's an army ahead." The mad bull also shouted.
Shouted by the mad bull, the seven thousand cavalry subconsciously took out their crossbow arrows and pointed them forward.
"No one is allowed to attack without my orders." Young Master Yangcheng shouted, since there is an army under the city gate, it is very likely that they are their own people who attack them on the head of the city, and this cannot be fought indiscriminately.
"I'll take a look." After speaking, life and death robbery rode forward.
"General, they've got someone coming." The sword and shield soldier in front shouted.
Hu Ben frowned and said, "Little O, the other party seems to be a person, you ......"
"I'll go see if it's ...... and you'll know if it's your ," Xiao O complained as he stepped out of the formation and walked towards the other party.
"Little O is you?"
The tip of the life and death robbery eyes immediately saw the figure and walking posture, and shouted like Xiao O.
Xiao O was stunned, this voice? Surprised, he said, "Life and death? ”
"It's me." After confirming, the life and death calamity breathed a sigh of relief and ran over to Xiao O's side.
But who knows, the catastrophe of life and death urged the horse to pass, but Xiao O turned around and ran back......
The life and death calamity suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled the reins.
"The pikemen in the second platoon change their bows and arrows, aim them at the front enemy, and shoot freely once each." Xiao O's face was a little strange, and he ran back to the formation quickly.
When Xue Yu saw Xiao O's appearance and the order he ordered, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and he just wanted to order to stop shooting, but it was too late.
Hearing the sound of swishing arrows, he was stunned for a moment, then cursed, turned his horse's head and galloped back: "Dead little O, wait for you to look good." ”
"What the hell, so many people can't even shoot a single person......"
After the soldiers heard the roar of General O, they didn't feel anything, but why did they seem to have heard this many times?
With a black face, Tiger Ben walked to Xiao O's side, and swept his right hand into the back of Xiao O's head with a fist.
This punch is absolutely first-class in terms of strength and speed, but the original unexpected punch missed.
Little O disappeared out of thin air.
"What if you want to hit me in the back of the head again and make me stupid." For a moment, Xiao O hid behind Xue Yu and said to Hu Ben.
"You kid, it's all this time, still playing? Don't hit who you hit. "The tiger can see it, how can he see that the enemy only shoots once, this is obviously a life and death disaster.
Every time life and death robbed the gold mine, Xiao O prepared a rain of arrows to greet him, which was completely real, and he didn't release water at all.
Life and death calamity panted and rode back to Yangcheng Gongzi and them, it was too dangerous just now, if he hadn't found it early and felt that it was inappropriate, he would have been shot into a hedgehog by that kid if he blindly chased Xiao O.
Liu Daxing looked nervous, and raised his right hand high: "Prepare to shoot." Seeing that the life and death calamity was attacked, Liu Daxing directly thought that it was the enemy in front of him.
"Stop, stop, take back the crossbow arrows and weapons." Hearing Liu Daxing's words, he couldn't take care of life and death.
The cavalry was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yangcheng Gongzi, they couldn't help but listen to the orders of these two generals, but such an order with opposite opinions made the cavalry have to consult Yangcheng Gongzi's orders, after all, Yangcheng Gongzi is a cavalry general, and the cavalry are all subordinate to Yangcheng Gongzi.
Young Master Yangcheng said helplessly: "Put away your weapons and move forward slowly." ”
"No, it's Xiao O again, right?" Liu Yidao said with a strange face.
Life and Death Tribulation replied angrily: "Except for that muddy boy, who else greets me in this way." ”
Really...... It's a little O.
For fear of being robbed by the tiger and life and death, they caught and beat Xiao O, who threw everyone off early and ran to the city.
And after Xue Yu and Hu Ben entered the city with 15,000 soldiers, they found a place to settle them, after all, they did not get the order to defend the city.
Similarly, Yang Chenggongzi and their cavalry followed Xue Yu and them into the city.
It didn't take long for Dragonfly, Troubled Times, Diao Chan, Lao Xu, and Le Yi to lead 10,000 soldiers back to Xiliang City just as they were about to close the city gate.
After settling the soldiers, Xue Yu, Hu Ben, Yangcheng Gongzi, Liu Yidao, Life and Death, Liu Daxing, Crazy Bull and others did not rush to the city.
Instead, they are waiting for the dragonfly five to be together.
When they entered the city, the twelve people saw the scarred city gate, and their faces were not very good, but there was a trace of doubt in their eyes.
"Did you run into enemies on the road?" Tiger Ben asked.
"There isn't a single ghost." Dragonfly replied.
"I rushed directly to Xicheng, and then went around from Xicheng back to Dongcheng, and I didn't see anything, but not far from Xicheng, there were a lot of wolf heads." Young Master Yangcheng said indifferently.
On the way back, they saw wolf heads all over the ground and thought it was incredible, how could there be so many wolf heads?
