Mu Li sneered and said, "Do you believe such words?" Even if they are not loyal to the country, what about the other soldiers? And what about generals? She has been guarding the city for more than ten years, how can you be worthy of the general in doing this? ”

The soldier in front of him laughed mockingly and said, "General? Did you say that woman? It's because of following her to defend the city, the soldiers here are paid less than others, the food and clothing are poor, just because she harmed us and we can't live a good life, I don't care about the general, we ordinary soldiers are here to defend the city conscientiously, it is enough to repay her, the city will be broken sooner or later, it is better to open the city gate early and have fewer casualties. ”

Mu Li raised the spear in his hand and stood there without backing down, he said, "If you want to open the city gate, you must step over my corpse." ”

"You're a fucking psychopath, didn't those people look for you too? You even accepted other people's gold bars, fake and fake, you are loyal alone, you are noble, and you are not a betrayal of the country and the enemy! ”

A soldier scolded and rushed towards Mu Li, Mu Li looked at him coldly, he rarely fought for five years in the city, and almost forgot how to swing the spear when fighting, but at this moment, when he picked up the spear, he found that as long as he wanted to protect a person in his heart, he became extremely brave.

The spear stretched out and picked it up, and the soldiers all knew where the armor was weak, and he successfully hit the soldier's neck with this shot, and the blood gushed out, and the resentment and disbelief in the soldier's eyes were frozen.

Another soldier rushed over, and picked it up before he could draw his spear, and Mu Li turned his head, and the somewhat torn helmet on his head was picked off, and there was an additional wound on his cheek, and the blood flowed down like a small earthworm in the night and firelight.

……

On the city wall, General Lin Han was holding a bow and arrow, many soldiers had been shot down by the rockets below, and the troops were already a little inadequate, the shouts of killing and the light of fire reflected her eyes like cold iron, and another soldier around him fell, letting out a painful cry, and the arrows flew past her ears, the situation here was already extremely dangerous.

The adjutant general stood behind her, watched her shoot the arrows one by one, and said softly: "Give up, this city can't be defended, and there is still a glimmer of life if you surrender now, you are a general, and you have been guarding the city here for many years, and you have never gone out to kill the old and weak women and children of the barbarians except for fighting, and their generals also admire you, and they will not kill you if you surrender now." ”

Lin Han's hand paused, and then her voice asked coldly, "How do you know?" ”

……

Mu Li had already fallen two corpses beside him, but he himself was not lightly injured, there were wounds on his cheeks and the side of his neck, and the last soldier who tried to open the city gate in vain put a spear in Mu Li's chest, which was supposed to be inserted into his heart.

The soldier cried madly in his eyes: "We have been defending the city together for two years, I don't want to kill you, but you have to force me, if I don't kill you, I won't be able to open the city gate, and when the barbarians attack us, we will all die, this country has rotten, it's not that I want to betray the country, but this country has abandoned us a long time ago......"

Mu Li felt the pain in his chest, and said with a wry smile: "Who said that I want to be loyal to this country?" What does it matter to me whether this country will be destroyed or replaced? ”

The soldier wept coldly and asked, "Then ...... you?"

"General Lin Han, what does this country have to do with me? But General Lin Han ...... I want to protect her. Mu Li spit out a mouthful of blood in his mouth and said with a wry smile.

"You like her, don't you? You shouldn't like her...... Besides, even if you like it, how can it be worth your death? If the city gates are opened, our good days ......"

Before the soldier finished speaking, his eyes widened in a daze, a spear was inserted into his neck, Mu Li's hand flipped slightly, and he pulled out the spear, the blood on the soldier's neck was like a spring, he couldn't say a word anymore, he fell straight up, Mu Li staggered back two steps, let himself lean against the wall behind him, and pulled out the spear on his chest with a wry smile.

He looked at the fire in front of him, stretched out his hand and touched his arms, and took out the butterfly hairpin he put on his chest, the butterfly on the hairpin had been poked by the shot just now, and even the hairpin became a little bent, the shot just now was supposed to be inserted into his heart, but fortunately, the hairpin made the spear inserted into his chest crooked, and he was able to survive.

"I said I wouldn't open the gates, I really won't, as long as I'm alive...... I promise you. Mu Li's bloodstained hand pinched the hairpin and muttered, he felt that the fire in front of him and the shouting of people were getting stronger and stronger, but he was very surprised to hear some very subtle and clear voices in his ears.

"General Lin, I have loved you for a long time, this city can no longer be defended, surrender now, I have a private agreement with them, if you surrender, I will not take your life, I will protect you in the future." Mu Li heard that this voice was from Vice General Chen beside Lin Han, but he didn't expect him to be bribed.

"Protect me?" Lin Han sneered and said, "A traitor told me to protect me thoroughly, what protection do you have?" When did you hook up with them? ”

"Not only me, many soldiers in the city are the same, they have long had no confidence in this city and this country, there is still a glimmer of life when the city gate is opened, but if it is not opened now, they will all die when the barbarians come in, and the people guarding the city gate have been bought, even if you don't surrender now, don't take a quarter of an hour, those soldiers below will open the city gate by themselves, and the horn has just sounded." Vice Chan will continue to persuade.

Lin Han seemed to be silent for a moment, then let out a low sigh, and she said, "Do you know why this city has been standing for so many years? It's because it's easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the city gate is not opened, don't let those barbarians climb up the city tower, there is always a way to defend it, even if they really want to attack, they must pay five or six times the price, but now ......"

Now there is still hope, but many people have defected to the enemy because they are disappointed in the country, and they want to live their own prosperous and wealthy lives.

Lin Han didn't continue to speak, Mu Li heard that in addition to the sound of soldiers falling down, there were many voices shouting and killing and screaming pain on the city tower, but in this sound, there was a sound of swords and guns intersecting that was particularly clear, it was Lin Han fighting with Vice General Chen.

Mu Li was anxious when he heard this voice, but the female general who was loyal to defending the city was betrayed by his subordinates who had always trusted, but now that the troops were in the city, and Mu Li was still in the most critical position of the city gate, he wanted to go up to the city wall to help Lin Han, but he was worried that someone else would open the city gate after he walked away, and he promised her that if he wanted to guard the city gate, then he must guard it.

The sound of the fight on the city wall should not have been transmitted so clearly below, but Mu Li heard it very clearly at this moment, and even the conversation between the two could be heard very clearly, and the fight above continued.

Mu Li suddenly heard Lin Han scream, and then saw a black shadow fall from the top of the city tower, he almost didn't have time to react, and saw that pair of eyes that seemed to have endless light appeared in front of his eyes, these eyes were still looking at the direction of the city wall, Mu Li supported his bloodstained body, and staggered over.

These eyes were as bright as cold stars were his thoughts in the midnight dream of more than five years, and these eyes also gave him faith and great energy, he raised his head slightly, and saw that Vice General Chen and the two soldiers above were silent and looked down, Mu Li felt that the air around him seemed to be still, and he looked at the three people on the city tower, as if he wanted to engrave those three faces deeply in his heart.

Lin Han beside him was not completely dead, the blood in her mouth overflowed, Mu Li squatted down, and slowly lifted Lin Han's body as if it was about to be broken, he looked at the eyes that had slowly darkened, opened his mouth but felt that he couldn't say anything, Lin Han glanced at the city gate slightly, and said, "I remember you...... You, you have guarded the gates...... You're good. ”

Mu Li nodded indiscriminately, Lin Han was not injured by falling, her armor was a little tattered, and the tattered armor was full of large and small wounds, most of these wounds were not from the barbarian, but from the man on the top of the city tower who kept saying that he loved him.

Lin Han said: "I...... The city probably won't be able to hold it, they ...... Many of them ...... You're good to be here. ”

Mu Li gently wiped the blood from the corner of Lin Han's mouth with his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "These are all things I should do, how can I save you?" ”

Lin Han shook her head slightly, she looked at the direction of the city tower, and said the last few words: "Guard the city gate......"

Those eyes as bright as cold stars are still looking at the direction of the sky, but they are no longer so agile at this moment, this is the first time Mu Li has come into contact with the female general, but it is also the last time, but he is watching her die in front of him, and he can't do anything.

Mu Li also glanced up at the city tower, the people on the city tower had disappeared, I am afraid that they are coming down now, and the next thing to do may be to come down and take Lin Han's body, and then open the city gate.

He trembled his bloodstained hands, stuck the broken hairpin in his hand into the messy hair of the female general, carried her to the wall and leaned against it, and then slowly stood up, he did what he did to guard the city gate, he did what he promised her, but he could not protect his beloved.

Mu Li took one last look at Lin Han, then picked up the knife beside her and grabbed it in her hand and slowly stood up, the flames in the city became stronger and stronger, and the shouting and killing outside the city gate became louder and louder, and the sound of the barbarian laughing: "Lin Han, that woman is dead!" ”

He listened quietly to these voices, guarding the gates, and now he was guarding his beloved.
