Chapter 65: Attacked
After Ling Yuanhang returned the people's food, the people were happy. People in Feicheng are no longer as careful when going out as they used to. They can now take to the streets with confidence and boldness. The bazaar is starting to regain the excitement of a few months ago. Of course, since Warat occupied Feicheng, Feicheng's economy has still been affected somewhat, and it is not as prosperous as it was a few months ago. The wounds of the aftermath of the war need to heal slowly.
In the early morning of the fifth day of recovering Feicheng, Ling Yuanhang set off with his personal guards of more than 100 people. This time, he was going to take Yaru to Feicheng to live for a while. But what he didn't know was that Guojiazhen was in a fierce battle at this time.
Yesterday, after Hadur reconnoitred the situation in Guojia Town, he preliminarily determined that the graceful woman who was listening to the book in the teahouse was Ling Yuanhang's wife. As for Ling Yuanhang, he didn't know how many women there were. But he was sure that this woman must be a woman that Ling Yuanhang loved. So he went out of the teahouse first, hid in an inconspicuous place and waited for Yaru and his party to come out, and then he saw Yaru's beautiful face, and he couldn't help but have a strange feeling in his heart.
This woman is so beautiful, not only beautiful, but also noble, as if she was born to be admired by the sun and the bright moon. This must not be Ling Yuanhang's concubine, this is at least a lady-level woman, and it may even be Ling Yuanhang's wife. Isn't it said that everyone in the capital said that Ling Yuanhang's wife was a rare beauty, if this woman let herself be taken captive to be her own woman, it would feel good. But he also knew that he couldn't beat Duoyan. Duoyan will definitely not let go of this woman. So Hadur was self-aware, and he was just thinking about it.
He returned to Xiliang City and talked to Duo Yan. Duoyan is very excited, this time she can finally take revenge. It's great to also get a woman with the surname Ling. So he didn't hesitate for a minute, and immediately gathered eight hundred men. The 800 men were all in civilian clothes. A small town, and without a garrison, 800 men were enough. He didn't take it seriously at all, so he set off in high spirits. This time he dragged Hadur to guide him, and Hadur reluctantly followed him.
Xiliang City is a hundred miles away from Guojia Town, and he still has to climb a mountain to get to Guojia Town, if it wasn't for revenge on Ling Yuanhang, he wouldn't choose to attack the small Guojia Town.
After Duoyan and Hadur crossed the mountain with hundreds of people, they were only more than 20 miles away from Guojia Town. When they stopped, they stopped walking, but prepared to enter the town after dark.
After the third watch, people have fallen asleep. Five hundred people approached Guojia Town and slowly approached Yaru's house.
In a compound in the east of the town, a young man was riding on a tree branch, he was a little sleepy, his head was napping, and he hit the branch in front of him, he was excited, opened his eyes, and looked around. Then his heart sank, and he rubbed his eyes again, and then he saw a figure pressing in the direction where the princess lived.
He quickly jumped off the tree and shouted to the room, the princess is in trouble, get up quickly. Then I heard a noise in the house, and then a lot of people ran out of the door quickly. With swords in their hands, they quickly stood in line and were ready to go.
This is the 200 soldiers of the county king's mansion, who stayed to protect Yaru, because the main courtyard of Yaru could not be opened, so Yaru rented an empty house here. They were arranged here, and they didn't usually go out, but just took turns going out to buy things. So the people of the town didn't know that there was such a group of people living in their town.
These guards in the county king's mansion are all people with kung fu skills, and they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers. They trained when they were fine, and sometimes Ling Junwang and Ling Yuanhang also went over to give them a guide when they were fine. When they stayed, Ling Yuanhang told them. There must be someone on duty every day, in case there is any movement on the side of the princess, they don't know. So they have someone sitting on that tree right on duty every day. Today happens to be the night of Ling Wu.
Their captain, Ling Yi, had already learned the severity of the situation from Ling Wu. He stood at the front of the team and said briefly: Today we have lost our lives, and we have to protect the princess. Do you understand?"
"Yes," the others replied loudly. Ling Yi didn't say anything more, but took the lead and ran towards the place where Yaru lived as fast as he could.
At this time, some of the soldiers in Yaru's courtyard had already climbed over the wall and came in, and they had already faced Guan Long and Guan Hu.
Yaru's courtyard has always been guarded by Guan Long and Guan Hu, and the two of them take turns to be on duty every day. Today, just as they were about to change shifts, they spotted the head peeking out of the wall. So the two shouted: "A thief has come in, get up quickly and protect Madame." ”
All the people were awakened. In this courtyard, there are two cooks, plus Guan Long and Guan Hu, as well as Lai Ru, four personal girls, and more than twenty-eight female guards, plus two cooks. There were thirty-seven people in the house. is two cooks, they are also practitioners, and they are still practitioners who have been on the battlefield with the old marquis. So even though there are only 37 of them here, they are all skilled.
Yaru was about to rush out with a knife, but Xinghong grabbed her. Pink brought her armor and forced her to wear it. Aru was in a hurry, because the sound of blades clashing was already heard outside. She knew there was already a fight outside. The two faithful guardians insisted on helping her put on the armor before letting go of her.
A few people rushed out of the house, and the 200 people in the Ling area had already intercepted the Warat people who had not yet entered the mansion outside the house.
Hadur did not approach the house, and after pointing out the place where Aru lived to Duoyan, he hid in place to observe the situation. Then he saw the two hundred soldiers in the Ling area rushing towards him. Hadur couldn't help but be speechless, feeling that Ling Yuanhang still had so many people left to protect the woman. This time, he is here to watch the excitement, let Duoyan deal with it alone.
Guan Long was anxious as soon as he saw Yaru come out, he had already killed several people, and there was a lot of blood on his body. He quickly killed Yaru's side and turned his back to Yaru: "Madam, Guan Hu and I will escort you out." ”
Aru had a knife in his hand. Although Yaru is not a hard-working student, she is talented and intelligent, coupled with the personal guidance of the old master and Guan Yunhe. Yaru also learned seven or eight points in the knife skills of the Guan family, plus her knife was customized for her by the old marquis himself, and the blade was as sharp as clay.
Although it was the first time she had fought so face-to-face, she knew that she couldn't be soft at this time. So after overcoming the initial discomfort, she quickly got into the groove. Her knife was picked up, and it was difficult for the Warat soldiers to get close. What's more, her four personal maids are always on her side. As soon as Guan Long came over, he took over Xinghong's position, and it was much safer here.
Yaru listened to Guan Long's words and replied, "I can't leave you behind, what's the situation outside?"
Guan Long replied as he unswiped the blade stretched out by one of the Warat soldiers, "Ling Yi, they're outside. ”
Guan Hu is also on the rise of killing over there. There was a Warat soldier's knife about to slash at Xinghong's back, but Xinghong didn't care about it at this time, she was fighting with another Warat soldier. Guan Hu flashed in a hurry, ignoring the spear next to him, and slashed at the back of the Warat soldier with his own knife. The soldier fell, but the spear also struck Guan Hu in the left shoulder. Xinghong couldn't help shouting when she saw it: "Brother Guan, are you okay?" ”
Guan Hu gritted his teeth and didn't care about looking at his own wounds. He turned around and slashed at the soldier who had struck him in the chest, killing the Warat soldier with a single blow.
Guan Long and Guan Hu have followed Guan Yunhe since they were very young, and their sword skills are all from Guan Yunhe's personal inheritance. Both of them are good at one as ten, where are those ordinary Warat soldiers compared.
There were more than 100 Warat soldiers in the courtyard, and the rest were intercepted by Ling Yi's people before they could enter. The thirty-seven men of Aru fought against the hundred or so Warat soldiers, and they looked at the few people. But none of these thirty-seven men could be compared to ordinary soldiers. Except for Aru and Xinghong, Peach has not been on the battlefield. The rest of the people are all from the battlefield, and they all have experience in fighting the enemy. Moreover, they usually get along, not only have deep affection, but also have a high tacit understanding. Except for Guan Long and Guan Hu, who had to take care of Yaru and the overall situation, the other girls were all two back-to-back fighting with the Warat soldiers. The same goes for the two chefs. They are completely safe to give their backs to each other, and they can basically take care of each other.
The Warat soldiers have nothing to take advantage of them. In addition, Duoyan was also very casual when ordering troops, and did not ask for any elite soldiers. So if these soldiers are one-on-one, they are really no match for these girls. These Warat soldiers usually learned ordinary combat in the barracks, and there are many new recruits here who have just been replenished this year.
Aru also killed two soldiers, and the battle in the courtyard was soon over. Yaru looked at the corpses on the ground, and then at everyone: "How are you?"
Xinghong said with red eyes and said: Brother Guan was injured to save me. ”
Yaru looked at Guan Hu: "Brother Guan, are you okay?"
Guan Hu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's nothing on the battlefield." ”
Yaru quickly looked at the others, and everyone was covered in blood. I couldn't tell if it was the blood of the Warat soldiers, or the blood from the wounds on my own body. At this time, everyone was red-eyed.
Yaru turned around and rushed out, but was stopped by Guan Long: "Princess Shizi, you can't go out, there are a lot of Warat soldiers outside, we will escort you from behind." ”
Yaru shook her head at her: "I can't leave Ling Yi and them here, let's go help them." ”
Guan Hu also said: "Concubine Shizi, you really can't go out, we promised the Hou Ye." We must protect you, there are no eyes for knives and guns, and it is too dangerous outside. ”
Aru stubbornly said, "It is useless for any of you to persuade you today. My life is my life, and Ling Yi's life is also my life. They're not just my soldiers. You, including them, are all relatives of my Guan Yaru. If God really let me stay here, this is my life, I admit it. But I will not leave any of you behind for the sake of running for my own life. ”
The girls cried, and Guan Long and Guan Hu also had tears in their eyes. They are all soldiers of other people's families. It is their duty to protect the lives of their masters. They have never heard any master say that the soldiers are relatives and brothers. It is for Yaru's simple treatment and affection for them as relatives and brothers. They are willing to shed their blood for her.
Guan Long choked up and said, "Okay, princess, let's go out with you." Then he turned back to the others and said, "Protect the princess, let's go out to help Ling Yi and them." ”
