Chapter 143: The Old City Passes Away
The two people rolled up and down on the tower, the horizontal wood fragments were flying one after another, and the debris that had been shaken down was all raised on the heads of the soldiers below. The figures of Mo Yun and Qin Xuan swept up to the spire, and the crisp sound of sword blades touching each other came densely. The sword of the Flame Night emitted bursts of fiery light, and in Qin Xuan's hands, it added a lot of help to him.
Because Flame Night had no weapon and could not meet Luo Qing's blade, he was landed by Luo Qing* on another tower and left the two of them. Luo Qing was a little uneasy about his swordsmanship due to Qin Xuan's appearance, and the flame night dodged to find his weak point.
The archers below raised their bows and arrows one after another, but they couldn't do it after aiming for a long time, they moved too fast, and if they couldn't aim accurately, they would hurt their own people.
At the same time, outside the city.
The rear of the outer armies in the northwest direction was suddenly attacked, causing a lot of chaos. Because Lei Changming and Qiu Lichuan were near the city wall, and Dou Yuehua was still protecting Zhilan who was unconscious, the rear of the army was suddenly caught off guard.
But fortunately, Shen Yi, who had been arranging troops in the middle of the team, reacted quickly, and he immediately commanded the generals at the front of the team to turn around and lead people to turn around in a serpentine shape. However, the trebuchets that threw combustibles into the city were forced to suspend their operations.
Although the generals sent by the emperor were not as good as the heroes of the rivers and lakes, they were better at leading the team to kill the enemy. After a brief panic, they also confronted Luo Tingxue, who came to raid.
Originally, the raid was not at this time, but Luo Tingxue couldn't wait after seeing a circle of flames burning on the Yong'an City Wall from a distance. She gave so much, everything she did was for Luo Qing to be able to seize the throne, she couldn't watch him trapped and die in the city.
Bing Ge was relatively on the periphery, and Luo Tingxue had not yet been able to hit the city. Zhilan leaned on Dou Yuehua's lap, and Qiu Lichuan stood in front of them guarding her.
They all could vaguely feel in their hearts that this battle might be the last battle.
Of course, Luo Qing heard the fight outside the city, but the fire on the city wall was still burning, and Yan Ye and Qin Xuan were blocking here, but they couldn't rush out to achieve a front and back attack.
So at this time, Luo Qing's idea of wanting to die in the night was already intense, and it was about to make him crazy, but even if the night didn't have a sword in his hand, he couldn't kill him. If there is really one person in this world who makes him jealous, that person is not Mo Yun or Luo Yan, but it is a flame night.
The fight on the other side was even more intense, Mo Yun's internal forces were all plundered, and he was not Qin Xuan's opponent after fighting for a long time. So he began to get agitated, and every move carried a strong killing intent.
Every time the two of them got close, Qin Xuan could clearly see the anger emanating from his eyes. He was a man of experience, and he could see that darkness seemed to have accumulated countless resentments and been trained in the deepest hells.
Qin Xuan couldn't wait, and when Mo Yun slashed a sword at his heart, he suddenly found a flaw. So Qin Xuan didn't dodge, but moved his body and took the sword with his shoulder, and the sword pierced his shoulder, but Mo Yun also paid an even more painful price-
The sword in Qin Xuan's hand stabbed into his abdomen.
"Ahh Qin Xuan ignored the sword on his shoulder, and pushed Mo Yun hard in his hand to smash it towards the tower, and the sharp sword that penetrated his abdomen fell deeply into the tower behind him. However, Qin Xuan's shoulders were almost opened by Mo Yun.
Luo Qing, who was on the side, heard the voice and looked over, seeing that he couldn't expect Mo Yun to kill Qin Xuan and come to help again, Luo Qing roared angrily, "Release the arrow!" Kill him for me! ”
The flame night was shocked, Luo Qing actually didn't care about Mo Yun's life or death at this time. The archers below had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as Luo Qing's voice fell, countless arrows came out of the string.
Flame Night pushed away the blade with one hand, and hit his neck with the other, "Stop! You are crazy! ”
But Luo Qing's face showed a crazy look: "If I can't get out alive, at least pull all of you on my back!" ”
Qin Xuan suddenly flew upward, and his sword was pulled out of his shoulder, bringing up a blood mist. In this way, Mo Yun was exposed to the rain of arrows. He leaned against the tower and couldn't move, and was instantly hit by several arrows. Those sharp arrows pierced his body, and his eyes widened, as if he didn't expect that he would die in the end under the order of Luo Qing, who he had been using.
The blood dripping from the soaked black robe was still red, Mo Yun's face was pale, and more arrows flew in, constantly piercing into the skin and bones, but he didn't feel pain anymore.
Qin Xuan was also extremely injured, his left shoulder was almost cut in half, and half of his robe was stained red with blood. The dense array of arrows was overwhelming, and he had already been hit by three more arrows as he flew upwards. Excessive blood loss made Qin Xuan a little dizzy, he hadn't been injured for more than ten years.
Yan Ye left Luo Qing and rushed in the direction of Qin Xuan, but Luo Qing in turn blocked in front of Yan Ye to delay time, he wanted them all to die!
"Get out of here!" A trace of red light flashed in the eyes of the flame night, and in the face of Luo Qing's sword, he grabbed the blade with his hand. The blade of the sword was in the bone, but with a fierce force, he actually broke the sword. Then one leg swept Luo Qing's abdomen, Luo Qing held the broken sword in one hand and dragged Yanye's leg with the other. The two of them smashed from the roof of a restaurant into the room below.
They lay in the rubble of broken rubble, surrounded by broken tables and chairs, each holding half a broken sword and bouncing off the ground. Luo Qing no longer had any physical strength, and was pressed against the falling ruins by the flame night after a burst of fierceness. Flame Night put her sword against his neck and said angrily, "Let them stop!" ”
Luo Qing laughed wildly, "Impossible, I lost this battle, but I will never let you win!" ”
He seemed to be insane, the blue tendons on the forehead of the flame night burst out, and the blade of the sword in his hand was violently forced, and the blood suddenly sprayed his face. The smile on Luo Qing's face has not been withdrawn, it seems that he is laughing at the unchangeable situation when he is dead.
Yanye gasped and stood up and rushed to the window, only to see Qin Xuan standing alone at the top of the tower. His left hand seemed to be unable to lift up, and he had been hit by several arrows in his leg and back. Only his right hand wielded his flaming sword to fend off the rain of arrows. The internal force caused the wound to tear even more, and blood flew from the air.
Flame Night rushed into the rain of arrows, using internal force to isolate those sharp arrows. When he came to Qin Xuan's side, he heard Qin Xuan's still loud voice and said loudly, "Boy, what are you doing here!" ”
"Let's go." Flame Night knew that it was difficult for him to move while he was still at the top of the tower, so he held Qin Xuan's waist with one hand and braved the dense rain of arrows to fall down. He quickly blasted open an iron window on the top of the tower, and then rolled in with Qin Xuan. The arrows could still come in through the window, but at least they were given a respite.
Both of them were covered in blood. Qin Xuan leaned against the wall and sat down, and Flame Night had a chance to take a closer look at his injuries. The spot on his shoulder was cut open, almost breaking to his chest. The arrow on his back had been cut off by himself, and he couldn't tell what it had hurt.
Flame Night hurriedly tore off her clothes, but she didn't know how to bandage such an injury.
Qin Xuan finally lost his strength, he let go of his sword and waved his hand weakly, "That's it, anyway...... I don't have long to live. ”
But Flame Night still held him on his lap and tried his best to stop his bleeding, hysterically saying to him, "You can't die...... I'll take you back. ”
Get back? Get back...... Look at her? "It doesn't matter if I see her, even when I was in Liuli Palace for the first six or seven years, I didn't go out of my way to see her."
"If you didn't care about her, you wouldn't be here." Flame Night felt a wave of sadness in his heart, and he injected a gentle internal force into Qin Xuan's body, helping him to protect the meridians as much as possible, "We have a child, just two months. Don't you want to see her! Don't you want to see her children! ”
Qin Xuan's eyes suddenly flickered again, "You haven't come to Lishi Gorge yet, it seems that that kid is also coming to see me." ”
At this point, the rain of arrows stopped, and the sound of slamming doors was heard at the bottom of the tower. The hand that transmits the internal force of the flame night continues, and the other hand holds the hilt of the sword, "She's just outside the city." ”
——
When it was dark, Zhilan finally woke up, and the sound of a sonorous soldier entered her ears. She stood up from Dou Yuehua's arms, and quietly did not ask any questions or get angry. But Dou Yuehua could feel that maybe she was even more difficult to deal with than before.
Qiu Lichuan was still standing with his back to them, he heard the voice behind him, and said without looking back, "We won." ”
Zhilan walked up to him with her sword in her hand and looked at the blood-red battlefield in front of her. It was a victory, and they had already won the game in terms of numbers and strategy. She then looked back at the walls of Yong'an. The walls, which had been frozen through the winter days, had cracked in the extreme cold and heat after being roasted by the fire. The cracks spread across the walls like spiders and tentacles.
She remembered that he had gone in too, so would she ever be able to see them again? The last time I saw Qin Xuan was the Qin Gongzi who was called by others in his sleep eleven years ago. The last time I saw the night of the flames, it was four days ago that I got her into the carriage and he told her to wait.
For some reason, she suddenly burst into tears, tears running down her cheeks and silent in the noisy war. The city wall suddenly collapsed in front of him, and countless smoke and dust were raised in the roar.
Qiu Lichuan suddenly turned around to protect her and Dou Yuehua, and in the gap between the falling stones, Zhilan seemed to see the flames that were clearly extinguished behind the city wall, and the people who shadowed through the smoke and flames.
When it was finally over, Qiu Lichuan suddenly stretched out his hand and rushed into the city with Zhilan, and the soldiers behind them were also attacking the city. In Yong'an, those weak soldiers saw that the people who rushed in were all weak and fell to their knees and surrendered.
Entering the city, she saw from a distance that Yan Ye was half-hugging and half-dragging Qin Xuan out with great effort, they were all covered in blood, every step behind them was blood-stained footprints, and the color of the clothes and the shape of the wound could not be seen on the body. 's long hair fell from both sides and was stuck to his face with blood, and in Zhilan's memory, this arrogant man had never been embarrassed.
Flame Night looked at her and muttered, "Zhilan......"
Qin Xuan heard it, he raised his head, the girl in front of him who looked at him was the same as he imagined, they were all beautiful......
