Chapter 252: The Last Bell
The forbidden army under the city seemed to pause when they heard the call, but the drumbeat behind them kept sounding, and they began to advance again.
Xuan Ling turned around, right? Laugh.
"Let's go, you are a little Oiran, and you are not a concubine, so you don't need to bury me."
"No, Your Majesty won't go, and neither will you!"
A sense of pride suddenly arose in her heart, since Xuan Ling wants to live and die with the soldiers, then she will not run away from the battle, and be a reluctant person who escapes alone.
Xuan Ling nodded, and suddenly held it? Er's hands, with infinite tenderness in his eyes.
"You're good, it's a pity I didn't find you sooner!"
"Early, what happens if you find out sooner?"
Er's heart was pounding, and her face suddenly turned red.
"I will definitely make you a real concubine!"
"No, no, don't you dare to hope!"
With a snap, a cloud ladder leaned up to the city, and Lin Chengyong gave an order, and those forbidden soldiers stood up from under the battlements and poked outward with their halberds.
The forbidden soldier on the ladder was holding a shield in his hand, but he was not poked down by the halberd, he stood on the battlement, waved his knife and slashed forward, but the two halberds poked left and right at the same time, and the man fell down in a scream.
No sooner had the forbidden army fallen off the city than two more forbidden armies climbed up.
This time, there were more than a dozen ladders to attack the city, and Lin Chengyong was desperate in his heart, but he still led people to rush up.
The bloody battle on the city began, such a bloody scene, the children were shocked to see, more and more forbidden troops under the city jumped into the city, and Lin Chengyong commanded the soldiers to fight to the death.
Xuan Ling pulling? As they stood, the forbidden army in the city surrounded them in a circle and guarded them in the center, but one by one the forbidden armies fell, and the circle of guards became smaller and smaller.
He looked at Xuan Ling, and saw that his face was light and light.
In the fierce battle, suddenly a forbidden army broke through the gap and rushed over, he raised his knife and slashed at Xuan Ling's head, and with a flick of his hand, a feather arrow shot out, which was inserted into the throat of the forbidden army, and the forbidden army's eyes widened and his body froze.
A few forbidden soldiers on the side were also stunned, unable to believe that their companions would die at the hands of a young girl.
But the situation at the head of the city was precarious, and seeing more and more chaotic troops jumping on the city, I suddenly heard Lin Chengyong shouting: "Get down!" ”
As soon as everyone turned their heads, they saw that on the side of the city, Lin Chengyong was standing on a box with a sword in one hand and a torch in the other, which had been opened, and it was full of black cannonballs, and his face was very hideous!
Everyone was shocked, the forbidden army above and below the city, as long as they were not recruits, knew the power of these shells, and if they were ignited, the entire city would be razed to the ground.
Lin Chengyong shouted, and the forbidden army in the city rose up with all their strength to kill the forbidden army that attacked.
The drumbeat under the city sounded intensively again, and the next round of attacks was about to begin.
Holding the last arrow in his hand, he said to Xuan Ling: "Your Majesty, before I die, I must tell you a secret!" ”
Xuan Ling snorted.
"What's the secret?"
Er'er was about to say that she was the daughter of the imperial doctor Ran Qingjiu, and the Ran family was an unjust case, when suddenly there was a noise on the west side of the city wall, and dozens of forbidden soldiers rushed over, and their appearance was a little embarrassed, and Er'er found that they were the guards and forbidden soldiers who followed Zhao Xu and Zhao Yi to Xihuamen.
When a guard saw Xuan Ling, he immediately ran over and knelt down, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not good, King Lu and King Jing have arrested Huang Daguan, they opened the Xihua Gate, the rebels have already entered the palace, and they are coming to the Xuande Gate!" ”
Xuan Ling's body trembled, and he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Xihua Gate and let out a long sigh.
"These two evil animals, I gave them a chance, but they still don't repent!"
Er'er felt that they had been here for two hours, but Niu Shiguang still hadn't arrived, and she was desperate in her heart, and was about to tell Xuan Ling that she was the daughter of Imperial Doctor Ran, when she looked up and saw a big bell faintly hanging on the corner tower in the west, her heart jumped, and she suddenly let go of Xuan Ling's hand and rushed towards the corner tower.
Xuan Ling was stunned, didn't the little Oiran say that she wanted to tell herself a secret, leaving her at the last moment, would she not be able to see through life and death, or would she retreat from death?
The cloud ladder outside was set up at the head of the city again, this time there were more than a dozen, Lin Chengyong screamed hoarsely, he swore to live and die with the head of the city with a torch, and the remaining forbidden troops in the city took the weapons in their hands and rushed to the battlement again.
She rushed to the corner tower, and when she saw that there was indeed a big bell hanging here, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, she came to the bell, pulled up the pestle that hit the bell, and slammed it into the bell.
The chaotic army under the city has poured into the city, and the forbidden army on the city has been forced to retreat again and again, and in the end, only about 20 people surrounded Xuanling.
Xuan Ling looked up to the sky and sighed, this seizure of power in the palace finally turned into an uncontrollable mess, is it big?? Are you going to die?
Lin Chengyong roared angrily and was about to drop the torch in his hand.
"When—"
A melodious bell rang, and everyone was stunned.
"When, when—"
Two more bells, this is the bell to stop the war!
The forbidden army fighting fiercely in the city stopped attacking one by one, and the forbidden army under the city looked up and stood stunned. The army, this bell is loud?? The bells.
"When, when, when—"
The bells rang continuously.
Lin Chengyong came to his senses and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor is here, you still don't kneel!" ”
This roar was like a thunderbolt, and all the forbidden troops in the city trembled.
Xuan Ling looked at the corner tower where the bell rang, and saw a girl struggling to hit the bell, her petite body seemed to have endless strength, knocking on everyone's hearts one by one, and Xuan Ling couldn't help but shed two turbid tears.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, it's not that you can't accompany me to the end, but you won't give up hope in the end!"
"When, when, when—"
The bell woke up Windy City, and many people opened their doors and windows to watch.
Xihua Gate.
Zhao Xu, Zhao Yi, Huang Jien and Yuan Fei heard the bell.
Huang Jien's gray face lit up with hope again, and Concubine Yuan was a little suspicious.
Qingshou Palace.
When Zhao Zhen, the queen, Concubine Shu Xian and others heard this bell, Zhao Zhen showed a smile.
Imperial dining room, garbage dump.
The crown prince and the prince also heard the bell, and the two poked their heads out of the pile of rotten leaves to look at each other.
In the palace, the forbidden army on and off the city stopped fighting, and they stood there to the corner tower where the bell sounded.
The dark horse general in the forbidden army kept shouting and whipping the frozen forbidden soldiers with his horsewhip, but now no one paid attention to her, and even the forbidden army beating the drum stopped beating.
The Black Horse General jumped off his horse, grabbed a drum and struck it, but the sound of her drum could not hide the sound of the bell.
The bell rang all the time.
Ringing all the time.
The Windy City has never rang for such a long time in nearly a hundred years.
This bell is a warning, a deterrent, and an oath to the majesty of the Son of Heaven!
Some quietly threw away their weapons and slowly retreated, and some knelt on the ground and prayed to the sky.
She struck the bell hard, her ears couldn't hear anymore, blood was flowing from her mouth and nose, and her brain was blank, but she still hit it hard and didn't stop.
"When—"
The last bell finally rang.
Windy City seemed to fall silent suddenly, and everyone was still immersed in the bells.
Xuan Ling saw it from afar? The child's body fell limply, and he couldn't help but cry out sadly: "Little Oiran—"
Someone slowly woke up from their stupor, and they looked around, not knowing what they were going to do.
The black horse general under the city raised her knife, her face showed a hideous color again, and she was about to swing her knife to give an order, when suddenly a clear horn came from outside the north gate.
As soon as the trumpet sounded, the trumpets outside the city rang out in unison.
This is the clarion call for Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
The forbidden army under the city retreated one after another, and the black horse general tried his best to stop it, but out of nowhere, an arrow came from nowhere, and an arrow pierced her left chest, and the woman who pretended to be a general turned over and fell off her horse, and her body was trampled into flesh by the horses.
Niu Shiguang's rescue finally arrived, and the officers who were detained by Zhao Huawen sounded the horn to collect the troops.
Lin Chengyong burst into tears, he threw the torch in his hand to the city, and knelt on the ground with his knees soft to pay homage to the sky.
"God bless the Great ??、 God bless my emperor-"
Xuan Ling looked up to the sky and wept bitterly.
At this point? Er's body was no longer felt, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her consciousness was very blurry, when she felt that someone gently lifted herself, she knew that she would survive this battle to the end, and as soon as this breath was relaxed, she fell into a deep sleep.
