469.Chapter 469: Raid Blessing in Blood
The servant watched us go out, and after several moments of wanting to speak, he finally said, "Childe, it's too dangerous." β
Dangerous? I looked at him suspiciously, although Dongzhou was in danger, but now after all, it has not been captured, and it is an exaggeration to say "dangerous", but looking at him with a solemn face, it seems that Yuan Gongzi will really be in great danger when he goes out.
Yuan Gongzi glanced at him, then at me, and smiled faintly: "It's okay." β
The servant sighed and could only follow us out the door.
This time we went straight to the north city gate, along the way to see more traces of panic after the war, those people have been eager to move out, all the way is a hurried flow of people, the surrounding shops have long been closed, some remote alleys are completely devoid of pedestrians, like an empty city.
At last they reached the city gate, where there were many wounded soldiers, but because of the lack of military doctors and the city's medical hall, many could not be treated, so they could only sit under the city walls and let out painful groans.
However, there were also some ordinary people who spontaneously brought medicine and bandages to help them treat, and Yuan Gongzi's servants immediately joined them.
When I saw this scene, my heart was really sour, and I hurriedly walked over to help.
Helping those wounded soldiers with medicine and bandaging, after a while, there was a lot of blood stains on the clothes on his hands, which seemed to be very wasteful, and I turned my head to look at Yuan Gongzi, his body was also stained a lot, but under the snow-white veil, those pure eyes were like a mirror lake, without a trace of ripples, although there were some wolves on his body, but he was not contaminated with his immortal temperament at all.
Such a man is really rare in the world.
I sighed in my heart, and then I heard someone in the corner of the wall moaning in a low voice: "Help me, help me......"
When I looked up, I saw a wounded soldier sitting there, he was very badly injured, half of his body was stained red with blood, and a soldier brought porridge to everyone to drink, but he couldn't drink it. I looked at him so pitiful, and hurriedly took the medicine and bandages to give him medicine.
Just when I was about to make a move, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed my sleeve, I looked back, it was Yuan Gongzi, he shook his head at me silently: "No need to give him medicine." β
"Why?"
The wounded soldier looked at us dying and said, "Help me, please save me." β
Yuan Gongzi glanced at him again and said, "His injuries are too serious to live." β
"Huh?"
"It's just a waste to give him medicine."
I opened my eyes wide in surprise, looked at him, and then looked at the wounded soldier, Yuan Gongzi said calmly, then pulled my sleeve and walked to the side, I kept looking back at the wounded soldier, after a while, he began to vomit a lot of blood, and his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally slowly fell down and died.
Immediately two soldiers came, picked up the man's body, and left.
I still stood in place, staring at this scene blankly, and then turned to look at Yuan Gongzi, who was still calmly helping the people around him, and there was still no ripple in those eyes under his long eyelashes.
But for some reason, I secretly shivered.
At this moment, I felt that the ground under my feet seemed to be trembling slightly, and my feet were a little numb from the shock, I raised my head in surprise and looked around, and found that the people around me seemed to feel something, and immediately two experienced veterans ran to the corner of the wall and untied a wooden cover, and below was a buried water tank, and the water in the water tank rippled.
Their eyes immediately widened in horror and said, "Oh no! β
"What's wrong?"
"The enemy is coming again!"
"What?!"
The people around me were all taken aback, and suddenly everyone panicked, and they all ran around, and suddenly countless people ran past me and knocked me stumbling, Yuan Gongzi stood at the other end, and hurriedly turned his head to look at me.
In those eyes, there seemed to be something else faintly besides concern.
But before they had time to take a closer look, the soldiers patrolling the city walls had already discovered something and shouted: "Be careful, be careful!" There's an enemy ahead! β
"Shengjing's soldiers and horses are raiding, preparing to defend against the enemy!"
Suddenly the gong sounded, and the soldiers who were resting in the barracks immediately ran over to this side, and the soldiers on the city tower had all taken out their swords, and some of them hurriedly ran down to inform the people of the state capital, and those ordinary people heard the alarm of the gong, and immediately screamed in fright and ran around.
There was a panic downstairs.
At that moment, I heard what seemed to be mixed with the wind, and a sharp sound came from the sky, and the soldiers on the tower shouted, "Be careful! β
As soon as the words fell, countless arrows rained down in the sky, shooting towards us.
"Ahh
Those ordinary people were suddenly frightened, and long arrows fell like rain, and they heard the screams of the soldiers defending the city after being hit by the arrows, blood splashed everywhere, and some arrows flew farther and flew down over the city tower.
It is a heavy arrow unique to the grassland, which can be fired from a hundred zhang away, and is the most commonly used weapon for the grassland cavalry to attack the city.
It seems that the elite cavalry on the Shengjing side are here!
At this moment, Yuan Gongzi struggled to push through the crowd and ran in front of me, and said loudly, "Are you okay?" β
"No......" He didn't wait for me to finish speaking, and then he pulled me towards the city wall, and sure enough, a few arrows fell, and several ordinary people fell to the ground.
"How so?!" I looked at the people bleeding and screaming, and said, "Why are they attacking again?" β
They only came to attack last night, and today they actually came to raid again, how can this be?
Didn't Rosh clearly say that he was going to give Dongzhou a month? Did he not keep his word, or did something else happen?
Yuan Gongzi held me tightly with one hand, and looked at me nervously with a clear gaze: "Are you hurt?" β
"I'm fine."
I shook my head, looking at the sky nervously, I could already hear the sound of the war horse galloping, the ground was shaking, the sand also jumped up, the smoke and dust, I gritted my teeth and said, "What are the people of Shengjing going to do?" If you really want to occupy Dongzhou, you can fight a war clearly, why do you want to carry out a surprise attack like this? β
Yuan Gongzi listened to my words, but he gritted his teeth and didn't speak, and there was a hint of heaviness in his eyes.
On the city tower overhead, there was already the sound of fighting, and there were people screaming after being injured, more and more soldiers on the other side of the barracks ran over, but they were already completely panicked, Yuan Gongzi held me tightly with one hand, his eyes were still firmly looking around, looking at his eyes at this moment, I had an illusion, it seemed that if there was any danger, he would block it for me as soon as possible.
However, it is a little strange that I have only known him for two days, so why do I have such an illusion?
In the midst of a panic, suddenly someone in front shouted: "The adults are here, protect the adults!" β
My lord? Yuan Yichu!?
As soon as I heard that he was coming, my heart suddenly relaxed, as soon as he came, Yang Yunhui and they would inevitably come over to control the situation, at least not just passively beaten, but at this moment, I felt that the hand holding me seemed to stiffen.
On the other end of the crowd, a large group of people had already walked over, and I saw Yuan Yichu at a glance.
And sure enough, he came!
I took a step towards that side, and suddenly thought of Yuan Gongzi behind me, and hurriedly turned around to ask him to go over, but when I turned around, I found that the person who had been standing by my side to protect me just now was gone.
When did he leave?
I was stunned, and looked around with wide eyes, but I only saw the people running around me in a panic, and I couldn't see the familiar figure at all.
What's going on? Where did he go?
"Light!"
Just when I was puzzled, Yuan Yichu's voice came from that side, Yang Yunhui and they also saw me, they were all startled, Yuan Yichu waved his hand, and immediately a team of soldiers ran over and escorted me to his side, he grabbed my wrist and said fiercely: "Why are you here?!" β
"I'll come and have a look."
"Who told you to come?!"
I said helplessly, "I just came over to take a look, I didn't expect a surprise attack." β
Yang Yunhui, who was on the side, also stepped forward and said: "Third brother, this time the matter is indeed a little strange, they only came to attack last night, and today they actually launched a surprise attack, this is too unreasonable, we didn't expect it." β
Yuan Yichu gritted his teeth, and looked at the city tower viciously.
Yang Yunhui had immediately stepped forward to command, and with his scheduling, the scene did not continue to be chaotic, and the soldiers defending the city resisted hard, and finally did not rout.
But the war was so anxious that it was terrifying, and the Shengjing side was indeed surprised, and the soldiers of Dongzhou resisted a sneak attack last night, and they were originally going to rest today, but suddenly experienced another surprise attack, and they were all exhausted.
Yuan Yichu stood there with a blushing face, and after a while, there were already soldiers guarding the city coming down to pay respects, Yang Yunhui listened, waved him down, and then walked to Yuan Yichu's side: "Third brother." β
"Is it Losh?"
"No, the soldiers and horses who came to attack were not led by Losh."
"Who is that?"
"It doesn't matter who it is, it'sβ"
"Just what?"
Yuan Yichu looked at Yang Yunhui fiercely, Yang Yunhui hesitated for a moment, and said: "After the sneak attack last night, I was also thinking that if Luo Shi really wanted to capture Dongzhou, he could wave his troops over, and he didn't have to have a deadline for the next month, but since he set it, and now he is backtracking, it doesn't look like the style of a leading general." β
"What do you meanβ"
"I'm afraid it's not him who launched these two raids."
"It's not him, who is it?"
"......" Yang Yunhui didn't speak, but after glancing at Yuan Yichu, he lowered his head.
At this moment, Yuan Yichu's face slowly changed, and in addition to the ruthlessness in those eyes, some other feelings slowly surged up.
For a moment, the atmosphere calmed down.
