Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Siege
The battle began. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The people under the city began to run under the rain of arrows, and one after another fell to the ground with long arrows stuck here and there. It was only a few minutes from the enemy line to the moat beneath the walls, but the process seemed to have lasted a long time.
All the people present were veterans, and everyone could ride and shoot well. But not everyone is bending.
In the past few days, the blacksmiths in the city have been busy with their work, and they have not had time to forge enough resources.
This arrow should be spared.
Ye Xuan ran up to the city tower with a group of slave soldiers carrying the frame, and there shouldn't be too many dead people in this stage of the battle.
Take the time to walk to the top of the city and poke your head out to look down. Seeing that the city gate suddenly opened, Du Liang led a pair of cavalry to rush the enemy by surprise.
Almost at the same time, the siege crossbows on the city walls began to wield.
The crossbow arrows covered in patterns resemble short spears, and they are covered with inscribed patterns. The winch pulls the bowstring and loads the ammunition.
Ballistas burst into the crowd, pulling out a wave of blood, and finally blasting a huge crater!
The old man held a short spear and stood on the city wall, and threw it down.
With this throw, the soldiers took out their bows and arrows and appeared on the city wall, and the bows and arrows were all shots and arrows!
"Come on, come on!" While shouting that the soldier was wound again with the help of the dog, another crossbow shot out!
The battle slowly increases the experience points, but just looking at this battle has such a high experience reward.
'Childe! Under Ye Nian's reminder, Ye Xuan shrank his head suddenly, and the wind from the bow and arrow hit his face. At this time, a few long ladders were erected on the city wall.
Of course, the enemies pulling the ladder are taken care of, and the enemies within the boundaries of the moat are live targets in the eyes of the archers, and the rain of arrows is not dense, but every bit of 'raindrop' is a life to be harvested.
Zhang Gong shot an arrow, Ye Xuan heard the sound of the wind and suddenly raised his head to catch the arrow that was flying out of sight.
Without looking at his own results, the quartermaster blew his slightly numb fingers, turned his head with his hard bow and said to Lao Yu, "The first wave is coming to an end, let Lao Du rush again." ”
The arrows that broke through the wind rushed out of the circular air waves, and the arrows spun rapidly under the drive of the wind current.
Ye Xuan's first reaction was to fly high between them.
After climbing upwards for a short while, the arrow drew a large arc and began to dive under the blessing of Newton, pulling out a huge arc under the influence of the wind current. Ye Xuan's eyes widened, and before he knew it, his head was sticking out of the city wall.
The captain who drove the death squad forward could never have imagined that the arrow that took his life would pierce his head from such an angle!
All he heard was a bang! There was a muffled sound, and then Ye Xuan saw that the body seemed to have been hit by a hammer and was knocked away by a huge force.
There was a pause in the charging crowd, and then the crowd stirred.
The deserters appeared, and the troops behind them raised their butcher knives mercilessly.
Ye Xuan, who was dumbfounded, was so frightened that he almost jumped off when he slapped his hand on his shoulder!
The quartermaster frowned and opened his mouth to scold, "What are you doing here!" Is this a fun place? Go back and do what you have to do! ”
Shrinking his head, Ye Xuan walked back as if nothing had happened. Ye Nian landed behind him and grimaced at the quartermaster.
The pair of eagle-like eyes swept down, Ye Nian suddenly shook, shrank and even hid directly in the ghost residence.
Under the city, Du Liang led the knights to charge again with a blood armor.
The soldiers who were driven back by the butcher's knife had only despair in their hearts when they saw Iron Hoof, and saw the situation clearly, and the enemy was signaling a retreat.
is not greedy, and the rope thrown out casually lassoed a soldier who cares about his head, Du Liang turns his horse's head and returns to the inner city.
The dead ghosts of that ancient suit of armor were extracted from bondage, attached to the armor, and burned as fuel!
The water in the upper reaches of the Tongyang River is fast, and they can't cut off the water in the river, and it is impossible to cross the river by ladder alone. Just the process of filling the sandbags against the archers does not know how many people will be killed.
Ye Xuan, who walked down the city wall, happened to see Du Liang walk in, and there was still a little minced meat sticking to the armor leaves decorated with red threads.
The big mouth is grinning, and there is unspeakable joy in the wide eyes.
The old man is thoughtful, the quartermaster Lao Li Tiemian is ruthless, and Du Liang is brave but has no scheming.
Passing by, Du Liang opened his big hand and patted Ye Xuan's shoulder, not caring about dyeing red clothes, Ye Xuan returned the salute and watched him run up the city wall.
It's still early, and the second wave of battles will soon begin.
"Hmph, quick success!" The old man snorted coldly and turned to Du Liang, "I just don't know which prince the Great Khan is sitting down below." ”
……
"After so many days, have you done your business?" Ye Xuan dragged the dog and asked quietly.
"Back to the master's words, it's done. It only takes a few days to dry the rice wine, and the local wine is easy to sit on. It's just how to cook the grain and waste a little effort. ”
"Oh, so how did you do that?" Ye Xuan was really curious.
"Hey, I'm not afraid of the master's jokes, I didn't think about any strange way to order food when I was a child."
'Ask if you consume the experience memory sake recipe: dregs rice wine. ’
'Yes'
The jar was brought by Ye Xuanshun, and the big opening in his hand at this time had been sealed with soil at this moment.
"Master, this wine will be opened when it gets time, and it will become vinegar after a long time." As he spoke, the dog put away the remaining small half bag of grain at Ye Xuan's signal, wiped his sweat with his hand, and suddenly there was a black mark on his forehead.
"Be careful yourself, I can't take care of you when I fight. The master and servant didn't expect to end up with this result. Ye Xuan put the wine jar into the package and patted the dog on the shoulder, "I didn't expect it, I thought I was going to be a bad guy with me." ”
After putting away the wine jar, Ye Xuan seemed to be in a good mood. Walking slowly humming a little song, Ye Nian next to him jumped up and down with the mood of the master and followed behind.
After staying where he was, the dog picked up the bucket and chased after him.
The box at the bottom of the water didn't know where the key was, sitting on the edge of the pool, Ye Xuan kept figuring it.
Molomon is an amphibian creature that haunts the water's edge, and this small creature has very little flesh. But its skin is very resilient and blows like a balloon.
How long does a full breath last?
The water dog looked at the silent Ye Xuan, and when he noticed his gaze, Ye Xuan commanded, "Help me find a strong enough and large enough wine barrel in the past few days, and find a few more that will definitely not leak." ”
"Master, you don't really plan to leave the city from here, do you?" The dog bent down slightly and asked uncertainly.
"Talking about myself, even if you are alone in the wilderness now, you should have no problem. As long as you are careful not to be caught by the brutes, the beast grass will always survive. How? Don't you dare to take this path of survival in death? ”
"No, no, even if you die nine times, there is a way to live. Even wandering on the plains is better than dying. ”
Ye Xuan smiled.
"It's just the master......" the dog kept twisting his fingers for the wording, "master, if you really want to go, don't take me with you." Can you bring Pinkie? ”
The thinking span was too large, Ye Xuan was stunned for a while, "Which one is that?" ”
"Ah, that's it. The maid in Mrs. Wang's mansion that the master subdued, the ...... last night" The dog's tone was a little strange.
"Ma Eryi is cheaper to go, you kid? Don't you have a wife? Ye Xuan's eyes suddenly became subtle.
"It's not! No! It's just that the girl looks like my sister who died early when I was a child. I didn't do anything! ”
"Huh." Don't ask me what Ye Xuan's expression is at this moment.
"Little Girl's House...... Serving you is better than a thick man like me. The dog said with a warm light in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"You are a person with a wife and children," Ye Xuan stood up and said very seriously after a short thought, "You have a wife and children, your life is the most important." Don't think too much about the world, and don't think too much about others. ”
"You are a gangster, a scoundrel, the lowest fish and shrimp in the ninth stream under the gray area. To put it mildly, the city is broken, the country is dead, and you are still that gangster, that scoundrel. It is the rich who really suffer from the loss of profits, and it is the nobles who really need to fight for glory. This is the reality. But of course, the bottom line of morality, the concept of right and wrong, feelings, responsibility, dignity or ...... Love? We also seem to have a little responsibility for this country, and that's also a reality. But I think you are a father before you are yourself, then you are a husband, and in the end you must not forget that you are a son. Then you're alone. ”
"I didn't persuade you to escape, but you shouldn't die in a daze, and your life can be very valuable. Now that you're not strong enough to deal with the battle that follows, you've run out of what you can do. At such a time, you should do everything you can to seize any chance of escape, someone alive or at least someone who can tell others about the city and let the story spread. ”
"Of course...... Except for surrender. Ye Xuan stood on the stairs and looked at the dog condescendingly, and continued to speak, "I don't think surrender is a good way to survive, and losing your dignity may not necessarily save your life." Whitely add black pens to the city. ”
With that, he turned around and continued to walk upward.
"I didn't say I would go. As a single person, I don't seem to have much reason to live, and I can still be reincarnated as an Inhuman despite the high cost. Unlike you, you only get one chance. ”
The dog stood on the stairs stupidly, but the girl who was his childhood sweetheart kept appearing in the sea of milk, and he owed a lot but never complained, and he kept smiling and waiting for his wife. And his own child, who was too small to hug hard.
Tears flowed.
"Dog... Swear to follow the master. ”
Isn't it the expected answer, is it really too difficult to understand his IQ?
"You don't have to say anything to follow to the death, I just want you to do what you order."
"Yes! Master. ”
