Chapter 167: The Siege
Yu Xiaohuan asked seriously: "Brother Zou Dui, I didn't bother you to make your own decisions about these things, do you really not mind?"
Zou Dui shook his head and said, "Xiaohuan, you did a good job." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info As I said at the beginning, you have the ability, free to play is, you don't have to ask me. ”
Yu Xiaohuan nodded, laughed, and opened his mouth to continue talking. At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the medicine hall, which surprised everyone who was enjoying the banquet, and they all stopped the dishes and chopsticks and wine glasses and looked out.
Only to hear the noise and movement outside is getting louder and louder, Zou Dui raised his eyebrows, got up and walked outside, intending to see what was going on.
Seeing Zou Dui get up, Yu Xiaohuan and the others immediately stood up and walked out behind Zou Dui.
When Zou Dui and the others walked out of the medicine hall, the street was already in chaos, and many people were running in panic with frightened faces.
After a few glances, Zou Dui and the others were about to find a passer-by and ask what was going on, when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and bangs being knocked on the mountain, and someone shouted: "A large number of desolate bandits are attacking Black Rock City! The city lord has an order, all martial cultivators and young men in Black Rock City must go to the head of the city to assist in the city defense!"
Hearing this, Zou Dui and the others were all taken aback, but they didn't expect that it was a bandit attacking the city.
In the sound of gongs and bangs, another voice warned loudly: "There is only one gate in and out of the Black Rock City, and once the city is broken, everyone will be doomed together! So don't think about escaping! In addition, the city lord has ordered that all those who plan to escape over the city walls will be shot and killed!"
This loud warning voice suddenly made many people in the medicine hall look bad.
Most of the people in the Medicine Hall, as old residents of Blackstone City, knew that the warning voice was not wrong at all. When Blackstone City was first built, it was used as a war fortress, so there was only one gate in and out of the entire city, instead of ordinary cities, which had four gates: east, west, south, and north.
In this case, if the bandits blocked the gate of Blackstone City, everyone would indeed not even have a place to escape.
Of course, some people will say that if you want to escape for your life, you don't necessarily have to go through the city gate, you can also climb over the wall. This is true, because the walls of Blackstone City are relatively low, only about three zhang high. It's just that for ordinary people, if there is no tool to climb such a height as Sanzhang, it is impossible to climb it at all, and even if there are good tools in hand, the speed of climbing cannot be fast.
The warning had already made it clear that there would be archers standing guard on the city walls, and if anyone dared to escape over the wall, they would be shot directly. In the law of the Great Qian, if it is a wartime, or a situation like the present situation where bandits are attacking the city, everyone is obliged to help defend the city, and if they escape at this time, they will not only die in vain if they are shot, but also affect their families.
After all the circumstances, it seems that everyone has only one way to go - to survive with Blackstone City.
But everyone is usually a small people who are busy begging for a living, and at this time, let them go into battle to fight, but few people can face it calmly. Therefore, for a while, many people in the medicine hall were very white, their legs trembled slightly, and they couldn't move for a while.
Zou Dui and Yu Xiaohuan are recognized by everyone as the backbone at this time, almost subconsciously, and everyone has turned their eyes to the two of them, waiting for them to come up with ideas.
Yu Xiaohuan bit his lip, thought for a while, and said, "Don't panic, everyone, go home first, and settle down at home." ”
Zou Dui nodded in agreement: "Those who should go home go home, and those who should stay will continue to stay in the medicine hall to maintain order." ”
Zou Dui gave the order clearly, and everyone immediately knew what they were going to do, and after answering, they dispersed.
And Zou Dui didn't drag his feet, returned to the medicine hall to change into normal decorations, and then said: "Everyone stay in the medicine hall now, I'll go to the city to see what the situation is." ”
After Zou Dui finished speaking, Yu Xiaohuan offered to go with him. Zou Dui wanted to stop it, but thinking of his own strength, Yu Xiaohuan was the safest to follow him, and he couldn't resist Yu Xiaohuan, so he asked Hei Niu and Old Man Nie to stay and stabilize the medicine hall, and he took Yu Xiaohuan and quickly walked towards the direction of the city.
At this time, the chaos in Blackstone City became more and more chaotic, and many people were scurrying around like headless flies. Fortunately, at this time, the people in the city were all in the same boat, there was no way out, and no one took advantage of the fire to rob as if they were dying.
After shuttling through the crowd for a while, Zou Dui suddenly heard someone shouting to him: "Xiaohuan girl, Shaoxia, are you here too?"
Zou Dui stopped, followed the prestige, and sure enough, he saw Liu Yu and others from the brother hunting team coming in a hurry, and it was estimated that they were also going to the city.
In the face of Zou Dui, who had saved their lives, Liu Yu and the others were respectful, their eyes were full of awe, but they didn't dare to get too close to Zou Dui after they came over. Yu Xiaohuan stepped forward and asked Liu Yu and asked, "Captain Liu, are you going to go to the city to see the situation?"
Liu Yu nodded, looked at Zou Dui respectfully, and said, "We also heard the order of the city lord, so we walked out of the residence, planning to go up the wall to have a look. ”
This is not the time to talk nonsense, Zou Dui said: "Since this is the case, then let's go together." ”
Liu Yu and others were overjoyed when they heard this. No one knows how this disaster of bandits attacking the city will develop, but if you can follow a powerful martial cultivator like Zou Dui, not to mention anything else, at least the chances of safety are much higher!
Under the great joy, Liu Yu and the others did not talk nonsense, immediately listened to Zou Dui's words, and followed Zou Dui towards the city......
......
The night was dark, the stars and the moon were dark, but the head of Blackstone City had already been illuminated by torches, as if it were day.
Under the bright firelight, the city guards at the head of the city were extremely nervous, their breathing was unconsciously heavy, and the torches and swords in their hands were trembling slightly;
In contrast, in the open space outside Blackstone City, although the number of more than 100 bandits was small, they were laughing loudly and full of momentum, and even a few bastards rushed directly to the front, opened their pants, and faced the city wall with a hot urine, but they were not attacked by bows and arrows.
There has been no war in this Black Rock City for hundreds of years, and the city defense team is usually just putting on a show, just mixing food, and many veterans are mixed into wine bags and rice bags, and it is difficult to lift swords, let alone fight.
As a result, among the city defense soldiers at this time, many veterans did not even perform as well as the new soldiers, looking at the bandits under the city scattering joy, their legs could not stop shaking. If it weren't for the fact that the lord of the city, who usually saw the dragon without seeing the head and the end, also put on armor and stood on the head of the city in person, they were afraid that they would immediately throw down their torches and weapons and flee.
