Chapter 40: How dare to stand side by side
Under the reflection of the blazing torches, the frightened, uneasy, and anxious expressions of the women were obvious. From whispering to the noisy voices later, pulling each other to leave......
The handsome figure was still calm, she took a steady step forward, and said loudly: "Our father, brother, husband, and son are all above the nine gates of Beiping right now. ”
This sentence silenced the crowd almost immediately.
"They are guarding this city for us. For us, keep one side at peace. He is protecting us with his own life. ”
"Although we are women, in addition to being protected by them, we can also stand side by side with them to protect our city and home."
Her voice was not high, nor was it impassioned, but word by word, the sound reached everyone's ears.
She walked over to the mountain of armor and took a set and quickly put it on.
She faced the crowd and slowly raised a hand, "A woman's hand can cook, sew, draw water and grind food, raise and care for our children, and naturally can also take up arms to defend all this." ”
She walked to the other side of the mountain of tiles and gravel, "We may not be able to hold the long knives, we may not be able to pull the bows, but we can use these to fight with them." ”
"Is it ridiculous that a grasshopper shakes a tree? No, even though the tree is tall, it will eventually decay and collapse, and the mayfly will go hand in hand to succeed the grasshopper although it is weak! ”
After that, she didn't say a word, turned around and walked towards the main gate of Li alone, step by step, firm and calm.
At first, there was silence in the crowd, but gradually someone came out, took their armor and put it on.
If you don't know how to wear it, help each other. If you can't hold it, several people work together to lift it......
The women in their armor picked up the tiles and gravel, one by one, and walked in the direction of the main gate of Rei......
Later, all the women did the same, without words or noise, quietly and orderly.
"This ...... How is this good...... "Yanyin finally made a sound, "If the prince and the prince know......"
The people around him didn't move, Yanyin turned his head, and the woman named Tongfu was walking towards the city tower with her armor and tiles in her armor at some point......
Standing on top of the castle tower, Tong Fu realized what a powerful opponent this city was facing.
As far as the eye can see, there are endless military tents. Heavily armored horses and soldiers, eerie trebuchets, countless bows, spears, long knives and swords......
All of this is reflected by countless torches, like a treacherous nightmare born in the middle of the night, ready to swallow people in one bite......
When the siege and defense began, Kirifu did not know, she was surrounded by the crowd around her, surrounded by chaotic sounds......
She was no stranger to the overlap of life and death, the devastation of flesh and blood, and this time, she was standing here, standing side by side with the guards, staring at the invaders who climbed the tower......
Her hands trembled violently, and the tiles in her hands were always held tightly by her, and her palms were cold and painful, and she couldn't even touch the Emei thorn in her boots.
She began to regret that she shouldn't have come, that she should have taken advantage of the chaos to hide far away......
She was stunned by the sudden enlargement of a hideous face in front of her, and the blood-stained long knife that followed her. She didn't know how to hide or where to hide.
The terrifying figure and the long knife slammed as they approached her, and fell to their feet.
Kiri Fu looked at the figure behind him in horror, she was pulling the long sword in her hand from the back of the soldier, raised her eyes at Tong Fu and said, "It's okay." ”
This glance was calm and calm, and he didn't blame her for it.
Tong Fu immediately recognized her, Princess Yan.
Xu Miaoyun looked at the woman in front of her who had long been out of her soul, and comforted: "It's dangerous here, why don't you go to the city to take care of the elderly and children......"
Tong Fu didn't hear what she said, and she saw a Southern soldier who had just climbed the wall swinging a knife and rushing behind the princess.
Without thinking about it, Tong Fu reached out and hugged the princess and rolled aside. The man swooped down again, but his body stopped suddenly, he lowered his head, looked at the small but sharp Emei thorn in his abdomen in horror, slowly knelt on the ground, and finally fell.
Tong Fu felt that her chest was full of nausea, and at this moment she couldn't hear the deafening sounds of fighting around her, and she couldn't see the figures clearly, she stared at the Emei thorn, which reflected the color of death in the firelight......
Someone lifted themselves up and patted them on the back, "Thank you...... Don't be afraid, it's okay......"
Kiri Fu looked at her blankly, her gaze inexplicably calming, and her soft tone was incompatible with the fight. Tong Fu took the Emei thorn she handed over, and her hand was still shaking violently.
"Go," Princess Yan said no more, and turned with her sword in her hand and walked towards the crowd that had been fighting the most.
Kiri Fu looked at the soldiers who had killed the red-eyed soldiers in front of him, and the women who threw stones and tiles at the city...... There are also husband and wife, brother and sister, father and daughter, who stand hand in hand and fight side by side...... For the first time, she felt like she truly understood what it meant to be blessed. It is not one to protect one and one to attach, but to fight together to become each other's protection without distinguishing between you and me......
"Kirifu!" Someone called her, and she snapped back to her senses.
Yanyin leaned against the wall not far away, pale and covered her arms.
Kirisk hurriedly ran closer, "Are you hurt?" ”
Yanyin nodded, more blood gushed out from the gap between her fingers, and the whole person trembled violently.
Tong Fu hurriedly ripped off a corner of his clothes and tied Yanyin's wound tightly, "Can you still go?" Gotta get you medication as soon as possible. ”
Yanyin nodded weakly.
Tong Fu helped her up, stepped over the messy figure on the ground, and tried to walk down the castle tower. From time to time, the arrows swept past him, piercing into the gaps in the walls of the towers, and there was a sound of tuk.
The shield that suddenly appeared, making Tong Fu happy, with this barrier, he was not afraid of cold arrows and stones. When I looked up, I was shocked again.
Yanyin had already exclaimed, "Shizi! At the moment, he didn't care about the severe pain of the wound, and said loudly: "How can the son of the world be here? Come quickly, and take the prince down to the city......"
Zhu Gaochi held the shield in one hand and the stone wall in the other, and said to Tong Fu breathlessly: "Take her to the city for medical treatment!" You guys...... Can you see the concubine? ”
Tong Fu hesitated for a while but still didn't speak, Yan Yin was angry, "The princess is not here, the prince needs to leave as soon as possible, hey, Tong Fu, you let go of me......"
Tong Fu knew just by looking at the expression on Zhu Gaochi's face that there was no way to persuade him to leave at this moment. didn't hesitate at the moment, and dragged Yanyin to the city tower.
When he turned around, he saw Zhu Gaochi struggling to hold on to the stone wall, and struggled to move forward where Princess Fang Cai Yan walked......
