Chapter Seventy-Seven: The War Horse Wanders Westward
The horse he rode today, Tong Fu did not know. But the one that followed behind him, she was very familiar with, the dragon foal.
It was probably because King Yan didn't use it first today, but just took it behind him, and the dragon horse looked a little unhappy.
Tong Fu has long been familiar with its small movements and small temperament, and at this moment its head is tilted to the side, looking at the back of King Yan with one eye, and its face is full of displeasure. It deliberately ran not fast, and the reins were pulled by King Yan several times before he reluctantly followed.
In the past, Sun Dingyuan would definitely ride a horse and follow King Yan, leading the dragon foal Chitu or Zaoliu...... Thinking of Sun Dingyuan and Seventeen, Tong Fu's heart throbbed violently.
"What will happen?" She steadied her mind and looked at Xirong.
Xi Rong tilted his head slightly, and Tong Fu looked over. Behind the city gate, in mid-air, an iron plate hung high, suspended only by a thick hemp rope. A soldier stood with a long knife in hand, his eyes fixed on the rope.
Tong Fu's heart was cold, and he immediately understood.
Then he looked at the wooden bridge outside the city tower with his face, and the black and oppressive figures below were all ambush soldiers.
"It's boring, don't look at it. Whether you want to save it, how to save it, you can figure it out for yourself, I'm tired. His voice was lazy, and he turned around and left.
Kirifu was dumbfounded and watched her leave, and it was hard to stop her.
Save? How can this be saved? Such a big iron plate, if it falls, the gods can't save it.
She can't beat any of the soldiers in the city, even if she has the heart, she can't help.
Even if he was lucky enough to escape the iron plate, the ambush soldiers under the bridge outside just blocked him...... Then again, why did you save him? He's not......
Tong Fu wanted to have a headache, but heard a voice behind him, "The girl is still here." ”
Her heart suddenly felt cold, and she slowly turned around, "Lord Tie...... My ...... I ...... if I wasn't careful. It's out......"
Tie Xuan didn't say anything more, walked past her, and stood in front of the battlement, "Since you're here, the girl is watching." ”
This time, someone stepped forward and sealed her mouth with strips of cloth, and tied her hands behind her back.
"The safety of Jinan City is at stake, and Tie must do his best, and he can't tolerate half a point difference." The horns of Tie Xuan's robe are flying, and he is obviously a thin and elegant appearance of a scholar, and he is full of pride.
The sound of horses' hooves was near, and I saw that Zhu Di was riding alone and two horses, and he had arrived under the city gate.
The soldier with the long knife had already put the blade in front of the hemp rope, and Tong Fu's heart suddenly picked up, and his breathing was difficult.
The city gate was wide open, and there were no guards, Zhu Di did not hesitate and urged the horse to enter. Entering the city urn, the dragon colt behind him somehow slammed down, raised his head to look back at the city tower, and hissed in his mouth.
Zhu Di also looked up, there were many people on the upper floor of the city, and he couldn't see anything clearly. After looking back on it in such a short time, I only felt a darkness above my head, and something seemed to rush down. Zhu Di was in a hurry, pulled the reins suddenly, only to hear a loud noise, the horse was short, and he had rolled to the ground.
When I looked up, I saw an iron plate falling from the sky and smashing on the horse's head. The horse died instantly, and if he hadn't been called by the dragon foal and hesitated for a moment, he was afraid that it was he who had fallen there.
The dragon horse had already rushed to his side, and Zhu Di turned over his horse and hurriedly retreated outside the city. Hearing the sound of killing, he rushed out of the ambush under the wooden bridge he had just passed by, surrounded himself, and the rest were about to break the bridge to prevent him from escaping.
Long Ju was not afraid, but was extremely brave, carrying Zhu Di to break out of the encirclement and rush straight to the wooden bridge. At the moment when the bridge broke, he flew over and landed steadily on the other side of the river. Don't stay, and leave immediately......
This scene made Tong Fu frightened and almost turned his back on it. This dragon foal is simply ...... Is it true or not?
Tie Xuan's back was cold and stiff, and it took a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Don't chase, close the city gate!" ”
The arrival of the Yan firearms battalion was almost immediate, and the artillery fire was aimed at the tower, allowing the defenders to breathe for a moment.
In the huge smoke and roar, Tong Fu could barely stand on his feet, and his ears were buzzing. The tower trembled at its feet, as if it would collapse at any moment......
The iron lord in front of him didn't seem to care, and suddenly raised his hand and said, "Take it!" ”
Tong Fu watched several huge wooden plaques, painted with portraits of Taizu and tablets, hanging high above the battlements one by one.
The roar of the artillery almost immediately ceased, and for a moment nothing but smoke and dust remained on the towers......
Tong Fu went from initial suspicion to sincere admiration, but for a moment. This iron lord can't help but be admired insincerely. No matter how powerful King Yan's firearms were, he would never dare to directly bombard Taizu's portrait and tablet......
But although the firearms stopped, the siege did not stop. The Yan army quickly withdrew the firearms battalion, elevated the ladder, and climbed up the city tower densely......
No one cares about Tong Fu who is shrunk in a corner anymore, she is still tied with her backhand and her mouth is closed, and she is pushed and shoved by people around. She couldn't even run away except to watch the battle in front of her.
She was squeezed to the corner of the tower, just in time to see the crowd under the city, and the figure that kept falling, numbly pushed by others...... Until I saw that figure.
At first she thought it was a delusion, maybe it was a similar look, but gradually she couldn't convince herself. The face, the figure, the movements, and even the way the eyebrows raised...... Seventeen, seventeen!
Mo Seventeen was under the castle tower, and at this moment he seemed to be preoccupied, struggling to climb the ladder...... But he was constantly scolded and pushed to the back......
Tong Fu quickly turned from the initial ecstasy to horror, Mo Seventeen climbed up so desperately that it was only a dead end, what was she going to do? She didn't stay honest at the horse farm, why did she come here?
Tong Fu wanted to see clearly, but he couldn't move at all, and was quickly dragged from behind and went down the city tower. He was thrown directly into the carriage and re-locked in the room of the academy.
It wasn't until it got dark that someone came in from outside with a candle flame, and Sister Yunyan was carrying a food box with a worried face. Seeing Tong Fu's appearance, he hurriedly loosened the tie for her and tore off the strip of cloth on his mouth.
"Are you alright...... Are there any injuries? The two sisters looked up and down carefully, and they saw that Tong Fu's heart was hot.
"I'm fine...... I just couldn't stay and wanted to check it out on a whim......"
Yanyu had already brought the hot porridge, "Use it quickly, we just found out that you are being held here." You're too bold...... What's that upstairs in the city......"
"Are there guards out there?" Kiri quickly finished the porridge and wiped her mouth with her sleeve.
Yun Ci was stunned for a moment, "Of course there is, Daddy said, I can't let you out until today is over." ”
"Can you do me a favor, I need to go again, just a while." Kiri said.
"No! There are no soldiers yet, and there is still a war in the city right now, you can't go to ...... again," Yun Ci said resolutely.
The wooden door babbled, and the guard, seeing the two sisters coming out, bowed and saluted, and stood back by the door.
Yun Ci walked ahead with the food box, and a few steps out of the yard, the person behind him had already crossed him and ran away.
She sighed, "How did you follow her wishes......" Yun Ci looked back at the room where the candle was still lit, thinking about Yan Yu reading a book inside, and couldn't help but sigh again.
