Chapter 547: The City Wall (Page 1/1)

Gu Yunyan is a native of the Northland and the eldest son of the General's Mansion, so he is very clear about the military defense in the North.

After the first snow of each winter, after it is certain that the Di people have retreated to the grasslands, the garrison in the north will be relaxed than in the rest of the season.

This is not to be taken lightly, but to adjust and change according to the situation.

It is not only the Di people who have to fight against the harsh climate of the violent storm and snow, but also the officers and soldiers and civilians in the north who have been strictly guarding for a whole year.

In addition, the heavy snow sealed the territory, and it was not only the movement of the horses and soldiers that was sealed, but also the sight.

To this day, even after countless discussions with Xiang Wei and other generals of the Yumen Pass garrison, Gu Yunyan still didn't know how the Di people passed through the vast grassland in such violent weather, but as long as they entered the northern border, it was not difficult to quickly attack the city of Beidi.

First, the garrison of this season was relatively small, and secondly, it was already night, and the heavy snow affected the vision even more, and it was almost impossible to realize that the army had arrived until the sound of horses' hooves was heard.

But Rao is like this, the Di people broke through the city, and there should still be traces.

Di people came unknowingly, and if they wanted to break the city quickly, they must have hooks and ladders, and Gu Yunqian, who participated in the defense that night, also said the same.

Judging from the traces outside the northern city wall, the Di people did use hook locks and ladders, but the number was far from enough for them to tear through the defense of the northern land in an instant, forcing Gu Zhiyuan to open all the city gates for the people to take refuge.

The defenders of the Northland were taken by surprise, but as long as the Di people did not climb the city wall in large numbers at the first time, the defenders could hold it.

Surprise attacks on the city, and will not use siege vehicles, which can also be proved from the traces of the city gate.

In this case, how did the Di people invade the city in large numbers?

It is not so much that the Di people dug a secret passage into the city, but that the north gate was opened.

Gu Yunqian said that the Di people entered the city when the city wall was changed.

Those who can do this must be very familiar with the time of the change of guards, know how to avoid it, and can sneak under the city gate in the dark night.

He doesn't need to open the city gate widely, as long as there is a crack in the city gate, then the Di people who follow up to the outside of the city can easily push open the city gate.

Gu Yunyan's heart sank to the bottom of the lake.

He tilted his head and looked at the centuries-old city.

Since the founding of the city in the Northland, it has faced wars, and hundreds of years have passed, and the imperial dynasties have changed, and it still resists the invasion of the Di people.

The guards have changed generation after generation, and every few years, the city walls will be repaired and the city will be strengthened, but it is still full of devastation.

Like the rest of the cities in the North, it is scarred.

In the past, I only felt that this scar was an eyesore, and I couldn't wait to repair it to be extremely strong every time I rebuilt it, what knives and guns, siege vehicles, catapults, don't think about laying down a small piece of rubble, but now, Gu Yunyan is the opposite, he hates why there are so few traces on the north city wall!

Hate to hate, Gu Yunyan knew in his heart that the breaking of the city in the north must be due to someone collaborating with the enemy.

He withdrew his gaze little by little, took a deep breath, and slowly walked back to the city, his gaze fell on Jiang Muyuan.

Gu Yunyan thought, not only him, Jiang Muyuan must have seen it.

This situation, Jiang Muyuan will report to the court like this?

Just when Gu Yunyan was thinking about whether to probe Jiang Muyuan's tone, he suddenly heard Gu Yunxi's voice, he hurriedly followed the voice, and saw Gu Yunxi pulling the snow hard, and the whole person wanted to be buried in the snow.

The previous thoughts were left behind, and Gu Yunyan hurriedly ran to Gu Yunxi's side.

Where Gu Yunxi picked up the snow, the girl buried underneath was revealed, the blood on her face had already coagulated, and only those eyes were wide, even if they were already dark, Gu Yunyan felt that he could still see the strong hatred and unwillingness in her eyes.

hated the Di people and hurt countless people in the north, and they were unwilling to die like this, and they obviously hadn't beaten the Di people back.

Such a stubborn temperament is their fourth sister Gu Yunchu.

The eight girls of the Gu family, not to mention Gu Yunjia, who died young, among the sisters, the strongest martial arts are Gu Yunchu and Gu Yunmiao.

These few in the center are all about the same age, Gu Yunchu and Gu Yunmiao can take the lead among the sisters, not by virtue of talent, but by hard work and strength.

Gu Yunyan squatted down and gently rubbed Gu Yunchu's head.

He still remembers that that year, Gu Yunchu came to him with a spear still wrapped in wax and asked him to show him how to shoot.

Obviously, the little girl's size is not as good as the spear, but she dislikes Gu Yunshen and Gu Yunsu for only teaching her fists and feet, and refuses to teach her to practice guns.

The little girl of that year grew up, but she never grew up again......

Gu Yunyan's throat was so blocked that he could only relieve it by helping Gu Yunxi pick up snow.

Gu Yunxi was also uncomfortable, his mouth couldn't stay idle, and he talked a lot of things in order to relieve the depression in his heart.

"What did Big Brother do outside the city just now? Did you find something on the city walls? Gu Yunxi asked.

Gu Yunyan bit his lip tightly, glanced at Jiang Muyuan not far away, and whispered to his younger brother, "It's nothing." ”

Not far from Gu Yunchu, Ge found Gu Yunshen and Xiao, and Zhu went to Nanchengkou, just because the mother-in-law who met at Yumen Pass that day said that she had met her second brother here.

Zhu knew that most of her brothers had been martyred, but even if it was lucky, she wanted to look for it, and she found one of them.

She searched for a long time, and finally found the body of Second Brother Zhu.

There were countless wounds on her body, her right leg was almost broken, and the blood that flowed out stained the ground with snow, and it was layered layer after layer by the subsequent heavy snow, and the snow she picked out was red.

Zhu Shi burst out crying, heartbreaking.

Pang Niangzi followed Zhu's family, and when she saw this meeting, tears also fell, she didn't persuade Zhu's family, there was no benefit in holding it back, it was better to cry.

The two cried together for a quarter of an hour before Zhu wiped his face, tied Zhu Erge's broken leg with a strip of cloth, and put his body on horseback and sent it to Guandi Temple.

The Zhu family settled their brother and the Gu family together, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the Gu family brothers moved Gu Yunshen and his wife and Gu Yunchu in.

Gu Yunxi also saw Second Brother Zhu's body and was slightly stunned.

His second uncle has always been alive and well.

Before he and Zhu got married, the second uncle saw that his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not his nose.

Gu Yunxi cleared his throat and comforted Zhu in a low voice: "Next time, we will bring him some good wine." ”
