Chapter Forty-Eight: Nine Deaths and One Life

There are a few extraordinary moments in this life, and the current situation is an extraordinary moment for me.

The enemy troops a hundred meters away did not relax their vigilance, they were waiting, waiting for an excellent opportunity to attack the city, to say that I am not afraid that it is false, if the black fontanelle is broken, the first thing is that the people in the city will be slaughtered, and Leng Si and I and others will also become the bargaining chips in their hands to hold Yan Bei Yan hostage.

Just when I thought that the two sides would be at such a stalemate, unexpectedly they sent more than 100 people to rush to the castle tower, and we could only keep lighting the fireworks, and after repeating this several times, we had fewer and fewer offensive fireworks in our hands.

Not only did I have just repelled a group of enemy troops, but my heart was already tightly clenched.

"Princess, they want to use the numerical advantage to exhaust our weapons in small quantities and many times, I'm afraid that we won't be able to withstand it a few more times, the princess might as well escort you out of the black fontanelle, although now we can fight more than forty brothers, but there is always a chance to fight."

"No, then the fontanelle will fall immediately, and you will definitely die, until the last moment, we must not give up!" Although I am greedy for life and afraid of death, I must not be a cowardly person, otherwise I will look down on myself, and I am not qualified to stand by Yan Beishen's side.

I don't know if God has mercy on us, at this time the sky actually thundered, it seems that there will be a storm later, sure enough, I saw a hundred meters away from the enemy army at this time began to set up tents, originally they thought that they would fight until dawn to take down the black fontanelle in one fell swoop, but if it rains, it will be beneficial to us from the time point of view.

"Everyone, the survival of the black fontanelle depends on you, the green king must be on the way to rescue at this time, so we must guard the city gate to the death, and there must be no loss!" I can't predict when Yan Beishen will arrive, but I can only make myself believe that he is on the way here, otherwise my morale will be weakened, and I am afraid that he will be defeated by then.

"Don't worry, princess, I will defend the city gate to the death!"

I quickly went down the city tower, thinking that I would go to see Leng Si's situation first, and then come back later, but I didn't think that as soon as I arrived at the bottom of the city tower, I saw Kun Yu helping Leng Si to this side.

"What are you doing, you're like this, how can you still come out!"

Leng Si, who was pale, glanced at me, "Nan Kite, let me do the rest, as long as I am alive, the black fontanelle will not fall, and Yan Beishen will definitely come to save us!" ”

At this time, I couldn't argue with Leng Si too much, so I had to follow Kun Yu to help him up to the city tower, and as soon as we went up, there were people behind us who came up from under the city tower, all carrying food boxes in their hands.

It turned out that Uncle Wang brought other people to bring us warm tea and hot noodles, and when he saw them entering, he put down the food box, "Princess, here is some food, let the soldiers eat some first, and we also brought some wound medicine to the wounded soldiers first." ”

Although it is just some simple things, I feel that there is a warm current in my heart, which is probably the warmth of human affection in the face of life and death, Kun Yu and I also joined Uncle Wang's action.

The soldiers who were standing guard did not care about eating first, but waited for us to take care of these brothers who were more seriously injured first.

At this time, the sky flashed a few thunderbolts again, and then the rustling rain began to fall, probably not for a long time, so this time the heavy rain came very fiercely, and even the wind fell everywhere, and we stood in the innermost part of the tower and were splashed with this rain and socks.

Regardless of the bad weather, we are all racing against time to deal with the wounded.

Here I just bandaged the arm of a wounded soldier, and then went to deal with some other people, but when I dealt with the third one, I found that this soldier had been dead for a long time, he was slashed in the chest, and when he died, his eyes were still round, and I recognized the person in front of me, he was the child who wrote home to ask his mother not to be stingy with eggs, and I still remember that he said that the family had found a daughter-in-law for him, and he could marry when he returned.

I can't tell what I feel in my heart at this time, I feel as if I was instantly filled with a sour feeling, my heart and my eyes are crying at this time, what is the war bringing, why do you have to use thousands of lives to satisfy the selfish desires of those in power, in their eyes, maybe the lives of these soldiers are just ants, but they may be the children of some people, the husbands of some people, the fathers of some people, such a battle took away their fresh lives, Let those who are still alive live in the pain of losing their loved ones for the rest of their lives.

I reached out and closed the child's eyes, and immediately proceeded to deal with the others who were still alive.

After everything was dealt with, we counted the number of casualties, a total of fifty-seven casualties, twenty-six were seriously wounded, and the rest were all gone, as for the lightly wounded, they were still holding their posts, one of them was pierced by an arrow in his left hand but still gritted his teeth and persisted.

It was the most worrying night I've ever had since I've been here, and these soldiers who could have gone home are now dying in a foreign land, and thousands of enemy troops are eyeing us not far away, and maybe tomorrow we will all die under the iron cavalry and silver swords of each other.

Kun Yu came to my side at this time and handed me a steamed bun that had been cooled, "Princess, eat a little, there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow." ”

I reached out and took the steamed bun, and ate it bite by bite, thinking about what to do tomorrow.

The sky slowly began to brighten, and the showers that had fallen overnight had now turned into a light rain, to be honest, I didn't feel sleepy at all now, I just felt that the pores of my whole body were tightened, the rain stopped, and then the fight began again.

"Princess, we took people to rush for a night last night, but we only made these more than 300 large fireworks canisters, if King Qing can't catch up, I'm afraid that the black fontanelle will really not be able to keep it." I saw that Uncle Wang hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were already bloodshot.

I asked people to bring up these fireworks and ordinary fireworks tied to the board, "Uncle Wang, thank you, I thought that our arrival would bring the black fontanelle back to its former prosperity, but now it seems that it has accelerated its demise, I am sorry for you." ”

"Princess, you have tormented us by saying this, we know that you have done your best, you could have left the fontanelle and left us alone, but you stayed for us."

I didn't know what to say, so I just nodded.

Leng Si shouted at this time, "Be on guard!" ”

I saw the enemy troops a hundred meters away approaching step by step, and there were two large wooden stakes in the front, which seemed to be ready to break through the city gates.

Seeing this, Uncle Wang immediately went down to the city tower, and then summoned all the people of the fontanelle to move all the things that could be resisted under the city gate.

At this time, there were still dead bodies floating in the moat under the castle tower, and there were many dead corpses lying on the ground, and the firing distance of this fireworks cylinder was about 20 meters, which means that except for the 10 meters below the castle tower, I could not attack until they reached a range of about 10 meters.

But the person who took the lead on the other side was very smart, he just let the person pushing the stake continue to walk forward, and the others were all waiting in place, I had no choice but to let people light the fireworks, my guess was not wrong, sure enough, the distance could only be so long.

Although a few people were wounded, because it was daytime, the line of sight was wider, and the enemy sent some people behind to push the stake, but they were running forward, and once they passed the range of the pyrotechnic canister, they could not hit them.

"It's disgusting! Throw it straight down and get these people pushing stakes out of the way first! "After that, we lit the fireworks and quickly threw them vertically, but because it had rained, some of them didn't make a sound.

And the enemy army saw that we were completely in chaos at this time, so they began to raise their swords and rush over to kill, it's over, it's over, it's completely finished!

"Listen to me, the thief captures the king first, and only by killing the leader is to kill the one who takes the lead, and the rest are some stragglers!" Leng Si can still calmly analyze the battle situation now, but the one who took the lead is standing firmly at the back, and there is no way for us to rush forward.

"Bring the arrows!"

Leng Si was already injured, and he still wanted to draw a bow and shoot arrows, but before I could say it, Kun Yu spoke first, "I'll come!" ”

But I remember that Kun Yu is best at hand-to-hand combat, and archery is not her strong point, but now she is our only hope, and I saw Kun Yu take the bow and arrow, and Leng Si stopped him.

"Give me the arrows first." Leng Si took the arrow, and then the arrow was wet with rainwater, and then sprinkled something on it, probably poisonous powder.

Then, Kun pulled out his bow and arrow, and then shot it steadily forward, but the arrow was obviously aimed at the general, but in the end it was a soldier beside him, and the city gate below was about to be lost.

"Come again!"

Kun Yu took a breath, and then shot an arrow again, but this time although the head was right, but the general swung his sword to block it, just when we were about to shoot the third arrow, Kun Yu stopped, Leng Si and I also found that something was wrong, the general actually fell off the horse, and then listened carefully to find that there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves coming from behind!

"Oh no, the general is dead, the general is dead!"

I don't know who shouted such a sentence, the soldiers who originally hit the city gate also stopped, and after a while, these thousands of soldiers were surrounded by tens of thousands of horses, and in the crowd of people, I saw Yan Beishen at first sight, today he is particularly dazzling, even if there is no golden luster sprinkled around him, I also feel that at this time he is the only one in my eyes, the only light I can see!
