The twelve gates of the capital must be guarded, but how the enemy will attack, where to feint, and where to attack can only rely on speculation.

I had expected that the three gates of Xicheng would be the most critical, and there would be more troops there.

Unexpectedly, Ding'anmen, which they were located in the northeast, became the point of the enemy's first wave of main attacks.

In the night, the scope illuminated by the torches was limited, and the enemy soldiers under the city walls seemed to be innumerable, and the sound of rushing and killing was in the ears, stabbing people's hearts and galls.

Who can not tremble in such a scene?

But they are trembling and afraid, and they can't take a step back.

If they retreat and give way to the enemy to enter the city, what will happen to the people in the capital behind them?

Among them, there are not only their neighbors, but also their parents, wives and children.

The guard general Qi Dan was a tall northern man, and as he gained a foothold in Beijing, his family also followed, and he became the most willing neighbor in the alley from a foreigner.

Enthusiastic, not afraid of things, and bold, so he was entrusted by Jiang Shiyu with the important task of guarding the city gate here at this time of crisis.

Seeing that there were Xiliang soldiers climbing the city wall one after another, he roared, the green tendons on his neck bulged, and he picked up a big stone and smashed it down: "Hold on!" All for Lao Tzu to support! ”

The sky was already dark, and the vision was getting clearer, and it was better to see how terrible the number of enemies was.

The enemy fought down and climbed up, the ladders were knocked down and erected, there were fewer and fewer stones on the walls, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers who could defend without being injured.

Qi Dan was tired of commanding and guarding, and without checking, he asked a Xiliang soldier who had just probed from the city wall to hook his waist with a whip.

The enemy's strength was so great that he staggered back, his back against the stone wall, and he was almost pulled straight down.

Qi Dan had a lot of strength, and he insisted on fighting with the whip, and his finger joints protruded, and he held the whip tightly.

But after all, he was stuck in his waist, his force was limited, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

At the last moment, I saw a man rushing to the front, holding a spear high and stabbing the enemy in the eye.

The enemy was in pain, and the strength of his hand naturally loosened, and he fell straight down the ladder.

Qi Dan escaped, gasping for breath, seeing that many people ran up with weapons to reinforce him, he couldn't take care of himself, and hurriedly mobilized reinforcements to fill the seats of the wounded soldiers.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the person who saved him, Qi Dan only felt that something was wrong, and when he turned his head again, his head was about to explode.

That height, that facial features, is a woman at all!

She was a beautiful young woman in the morning light.

Not only her, but also one or two of the people who rushed up for reinforcements, half of them were women.

"Where's the?" Qi Dan was anxious, "Our old men are not dead, you go back quickly!" ”

"The daughter of the former Zhenbei General, the sister of the Jinzhen Beida General, the third mother of the Gu family!"

"The niece of the former Zhenbei General, the sister of the Jinzhen Beida General, the sixth mother of the Gu family!"

At this moment, Qi Dan's thoughts were mixed, what a general is not a general, he can't turn a corner.

"I don't care what kind of girl or sister you are, don't come to make trouble......," he was saying, but he saw the woman who had just saved him pick up the crossbow that had fallen to the ground from the wounded defenders, and fired at the enemy on the ladder, striking down three of them in an instant.

The arrows on the crossbow were exhausted, Gu Yunjin retreated, loaded the arrows on one side, and said to Qi Dan on the other: "The main attack of the Xiliang army is Yong'anmen in the west, and most of the troops defending the city have been transferred, and we will come here at Ding'anmen." ”

Qi Dan was stunned for a moment, looking at the Xiliang Army under the city wall in front of him, he was not the main attack point here?

On the side, a sturdy Xiliang army climbed up, Gu Yunsi shot straight into his chest, and she shouted: "Yunjin! ”

Gu Yunjin understood, stuffed the crossbow into Qi Dan's arms, carried the spear, pierced the enemy, and the two worked together to pick up and throw the seriously injured enemy up, and also knocked over the two enemies who were climbing up.

Qi Danquan relied on the reaction of years of practice, and even the arrows on the crossbow were shot, and his heart was also shocked.

He's better shut up, it doesn't matter what kind of girl he is, as long as he can kill the enemy.

Gangnaxi Liang soldiers are five big and three thick, and the recruits in their camp may need two or three people to pick him up, and the two little women can have such arm strength, which is really impressive.

Of course, what impressed him even more was that a heroic woman kicked the Xiliang soldiers who were much taller than her off the city wall with one kick.

This ruthlessness makes people's blood boil.

That being the case, men and women are the same, on the city wall, you can hit the top position, and you can't fight down, it's as simple as that.

On the long city wall, there are men and women, young ones like Gu Yunjin and Gu Yunsi, and older ones like the grandmothers of the Gu family who came back from the north.

Ding'an Gate was in an emergency, the defenders couldn't be mobilized, and everyone who could fight the Gu family, whether it was the master or the family, rushed to the city wall.

It's not just them who take care of their families, when Cheng Guogong went south with the imperial driver, he left behind all the guards, and the same is true of the Marquis of Suning, and generals like the Jiang family who live in Beijing, their children are all armed and obey the transfer.

In fact, most of these capital guards have never been on the battlefield, but with the main family, they have all been on the school field, and they have been dyed with a temper of the general, and they are brave enough to kill the enemy.

Ge and Zhu guarded one side, and the blood of the Xiliang Army stained half of their faces red.

Zhu stabbed the enemy's head with a shot, and said loudly: "We didn't catch up on the night of guarding the north, this time call the old lady, father-in-law, concubine, uncle and sister-in-law to see what we are capable of!" ”

Ge's voice was split: "The general is leading his troops south to help, we have to defend!" You can't give the Zhenbei General's Mansion and the soldiers and people in the north to shame! ”

Words of encouragement go straight to the heart.

On the same day, the news of the destruction of the city in the north reached the capital, and the Gu family in Xilin Hutong was in unbearable pain.

Ge Shi heard the maids and mothers-in-law around him secretly hiding and crying several times, not crying that their families were ruined, but crying that they did not fight hand in hand with their relatives until the last moment, and they could only regret it in this distant capital.

And now, it was their turn to defend the city.

This offensive and defensive battle lasted until noon, and the endless Xiliang army had a trace of fear, and did not attack the city wall desperately.

Qi Dan's leg was injured, he sat on the ground, and said with red eyes: "Hurry up and send all the wounded soldiers down." ”

Gu Yunjin stood beside him with a gun and said, "Most of the seriously injured ones have been carried down just now, and the rest are being sent down one after another." ”

At the foot of the inner side of the city wall, the military doctor and the doctor of the city's medical hall treated the wounded in an orderly manner.

The place was only so big, and the number of wounded kept increasing, so young men carried people with their reincarnages to the city's infirmary.

Along the way, some people poked their heads to see, and a woman sat at the intersection with an old coat and a pair of scissors in her hand, shouting at people: "Look at what to see!" Let's cut the strips of cloth with the old woman! ”
