Chapter 182: First Arrival on the City Wall

Meng Huan Chilong thought about it, and felt that this made sense, you can't use riding beasts in the mountains and forests, it doesn't mean that you can't use it in other places, the plains are endless, and it is the most suitable place for beasts to run, and the impact of the running speed is indeed not something that ordinary people can resist, as a hunter in the mountains, this kind of thing can still be understood.

Looking at the cavalry who ran away, he once again thought of his thunder beast Golden Horn, as well as Elder Brother, I don't know how they are now.

But he soon became concerned about something else. "You said that the Witch King's military camp, the city guard army is not the Witch King's military camp? Listen to what you mean, the Witch King has other military camps, I don't know how many military camps the Witch King has?

"The city guard is the military camp of the Witch King, but it is not the official military camp of the Witch King, but it is just to keep the city safe. The official military camp of the Witch King refers to the military camp under the command of the Witch King and directly deployed by Lord Taiwei, and now there are a total of twelve legions, which are called the Heavenly Dragon, the Flying Phoenix, the Wild Beast, the Tiger, the Lion, the Violent Bear, the Jaguar, the Remnant Wolf, the Golden Peng, the White Eagle, the Condor, and the Night Stalker, with 10 million people in each military camp. ”

When Meng Huan Chilong heard this, he estimated in his heart and shouted. "There are so many soldiers in our Wu Clan's country, so the city guard is still afraid that he won't be able to defend the Heavenly City?"

Long Jinliu glanced at him and said, "It's useless to have more now, these legions are too far away from us to catch up." Except for Tianlong and Feifeng guarding the royal capital, the other military camps are guarding various borders, and if you really talk about it, there are not enough people. ”

This reminded Meng Huan Chilong of being in the city guard, and the city guard told the army that Yitian City also had a legion to help protect it, but these people did not want to be stationed in Yitian City, but went to the county capital Leishan City instead.

This made him involuntarily ask: "We are also a border here, should someone guard it, I don't know how many people." ”

Long Jinliu hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that the people of the Violent Bear Legion should have a captain's people, fifty thousand, but it's useless to say these now, they all ran to Thunder Mountain City." ”

He didn't say anything, Ma Linlong asked him to send a letter to Yitian City, and he did. Ma Linlong's purpose in sending the letter was to defend Yitian City, and he also regarded this as his own responsibility. But knowing that the Wu clan has a real legion, but it can't help, it makes him a little depressed.

Now there are only more than 30,000 city guards in the city, and if there are those 50,000 people, I am afraid that it will be easier to defend the city.

Long Jinliu didn't hear his voice, looked up, and realized that he was thinking about it. Then he didn't have anything to say: "Brother Chilong, haven't you ever ridden a beast?"

Meng Winding Red Dragon nodded subconsciously.

When Long Jinliu saw it, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the barracks in the afternoon to get a horned tiger beast, and you will learn it as soon as you learn it." ”

Lei Suyu heard this beside him, and couldn't help but say, "Young Master Long, can I learn?"

Although he saw people riding mountain beasts, there were too few places in the mountains and forests where they could be ridden, and few people raised riding beasts. So he had a red deer pulling a cart, but he didn't ride a beast.

Long Jinliu was even more proud when he heard this, and said with a big bag: "Yes, let's study together in the afternoon, by the way, Lei Suyu, now we are brothers, you don't call me young master, I don't call you either, let's call each other by name!"

Lei Suyu was very happy to hear this, and said, "Okay, it's decided, come, touch one." The two seemed interested in clinking their fists, and their fists collided again.

When they reached the gates, they found them closed, and there were many people standing under the walls, talking about something.

On the city wall, Teng Xinzun and some soldiers were looking out, and someone outside the city was shouting loudly, but they couldn't hear clearly through the high city wall, only a noisy sound came.

When a few people couldn't understand, they saw Long Qishui coming down from the city wall, with a straight face, giving people the feeling that they had just quarreled with someone and were angry. It seems that if someone is going to provoke him now, they will do it immediately.

When Long Jinliu saw it, he shouted, "Seventh Uncle, Seventh Uncle, what's going on? Why are so many people shouting outside?"

Long Qishui shook over and said angrily: "It's nothing to do with you, why do you care so much?"

Meng Huan Chilong stepped forward and saluted: "Brother Qishui, listening to the accent, there are Wu people outside, why is the city gate closed and they are not allowed to enter?

Long Qishui saw that it was him, so he was polite, but he also sighed first. "Alas, now there is no requirement to prove whether there are people from the Zheng Dynasty, there are already mountain people who have fled from the mountains outside, and the news of the arrival of the people from the Duan Dynasty has spread, and the nearby villagers have also followed, saying that they want to enter the city to escape the war, but Teng joined the army and said that in order to prevent the spies of the Zheng Dynasty, these people will not be allowed to enter the city. ”

When he heard this, he immediately cried out. "How can this work? Wouldn't staying outside let the people of the Righteous Dynasty arrest them? By the way, how many people are there outside the city now? There are traces of the people of the Righteous Dynasty. ”

"I haven't heard from the scouts yet, but there are more than 5,000 people outside the city now, and I see that the number of people will increase, and there are many people nearby who are still coming, and I don't know what to do. Long Qishui said with some worry.

Meng Winding Red Dragon frowned. "No, I'll go and tell Teng to join the army, you must let these people in, otherwise you will harm these people. I have seen the methods of correcting the people of the dynasty, as long as there are people who resist, I am afraid that those people will be killed. ”

Long Qishui turned his head to look at the city wall, and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's useless, I just said it, he just didn't agree, saying that this is a matter within his power, even if the city guard comes, he can't control it." I want to go back to the city guard mansion and tell my brother that you can't leave these people outside, it will hurt the people's hearts. ”

When he heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Long Qishui, and felt that this person still had people in his heart, but he immediately gritted his teeth in anger and said, "This person who joined the army doesn't do anything serious, he does all the crooked things." No, I'll have to tell him to let these people into the city. After speaking, he didn't say hello to Long Qishui, and rushed directly towards the city wall.

The two soldiers guarding the road of the city wall saw someone rushing towards them, waved their halberds in their hands and shouted: "What kind of people? This is an extraordinary time, and it is not that the soldiers cannot go up the city wall." ”

Long Qishui hurriedly shouted from behind: "Don't do it, they are their own people, they sent the letter yesterday, and the adults who joined the army know." ”

This morning, there was Long Qishui's propaganda, and probably the soldiers of Tiancheng all knew what happened to the city guard mansion yesterday. The army member beat someone and was injured, and finally apologized to others, and that person was a child and a wizard.

So after hearing Long Qishui's shout, the two soldiers took back their halberds and looked at Meng Huan Chilong curiously, as if they couldn't figure out that this young man not only dared to hit the army adult, but also injured the army adult, and finally asked the army to apologize.

One of them said to Long Qishui: "The lord of the leader, the people do not give the city, it is a rule set by the lord who joins the army." ”

Long Qishui grimaced, thought for a while, and felt that if he went up around the red dragon, he might be able to say that he would be stubborn and join the army, so that he would not have to trouble the city guard, so that the Teng and Long families would not directly clash.

Then he said with a smile: "I know, I brought the people, just push them on my head when I join the army and ask, anyway, I am the life of the military stick, and I am not bad for those sons, so it should be regarded as a quenching body." ”

The two soldiers laughed, and did not stop the red dragon, and let him go up the city wall. It can be seen that Long Qishui and the soldiers are still very easy-going, and they also have a certain popularity, at least the soldiers are intimate with him and believe in him.

The soldiers put it down, and it was not only Menghuan Chilong who went to the city wall, but also the people who Menghuan Cottage and Long Jinliu and Lei Suyu also went to the city wall together.

This was the first time he had climbed the city wall, and he found that the city wall was much wider than when he looked below, about five or six zhang wide, and the ground was covered with bluestone, on which he could gallop his horse. At intervals there was a protruding face of a horse, on which there were turrets, and under each wall were stacked some sassal wood and rolling stones, but they looked very old and moss-grown.

He frowned, feeling that there was nothing to be done on the city walls this night. It's just that he's not in the mood to think about these things now, and it's not for him to think about. So he ran to the edge of the battlement, and looked out of the city.

I saw a group of people under the city wall, who were huddled under the city gate and shouting. The suspension bridge on the moat is still there, and it doesn't seem to have changed, that is to say, the city gate that could have allowed people to enter and exit, because there were people from the mountains who escaped, Teng Xinzun must have someone from the upright dynasty attacking, so he panicked and forcibly closed the city gate and forbade these people to enter the city.

He retracted his gaze and found that the people under the city were obviously from different places, and in the distance they were basically dressed in the mountains and forests, wearing animal skin clothes and holding weapons, and some of them were injured, and it could be seen that they had bandaged strips of cloth on their bodies.

Most of the people shouting at the gate of the city were dressed in cloth clothes, carrying parcels on their backs, dragging things, thinking that they were people from nearby villages and towns. In the distance, there were people who were dragging their children and daughters in a hurry, naturally people who wanted to enter the city.

Teng Xinzun had a gloomy face, holding a heavy tiger head lance, the handle of which was six feet long, the head of the lance was in the shape of a tiger head, and the end of the handle was equipped with a hammer. The blade of the lance is more than two feet long, and it is an eight-sided armor-piercing edge.

He stood at the top of the city gate, which was also a protruding horse's face, and looked coldly at the noisy crowd in front of the city gate. There were fifteen or six people around him, who should be his captains and personal guards.

Meng Huan Chilong ignored these people, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the Lord of the Army!"

Teng Xinzun glanced back at him, then at Long Qishui, then at the bottom of the city wall, and said expressionlessly: "Why are you here, is there something wrong?"

He said cautiously: "Lord Joiner, I think the city should be from the Wu Clan, please let them into the city, so as not to be caught by the people of the Righteous Dynasty outside the city, which will harm them." ”

Teng Xinzun pointed to the people under the city: "You say that they are Wu people, they are Wu people? They don't have any writing on their faces, how can they be sure that they are Wu people? What if there are righteous dynasty spies in the middle? Besides, I have already told them to escape, but what can they do if they don't leave?"

Several captains and guards next to them couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and looked at the eyes of the red dragon with some disdain.
