Chapter Thirty-Nine: Every Inch Is a Place for Bones
(Thank you for your lovely bunch of people...... Whew, Wang Zheng's "To You" is very good. οΌ
Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain.
Gongsun Cuo's sentence not to open the city gate fell in the ears of these generals who felt little, after all, they have long been accustomed to life and death on the battlefield all year round, just like Wang Pojun at this moment, he has always loved soldiers like a son, he looked at Gongsun Cuo under the city wall Although his face showed admiration, but he did not say anything good for Gongsun Cuo, as a general, although it is indispensable to sacrifice life and forget death, but what is most needed is to take care of the overall situation, Gongsun Co can be called the word benevolence and righteousness, but war is like this, someone dies, and someone can live.
And the soldiers of the Qi family army on the city wall did not think so, there was some commotion among the soldiers at first, and some of them looked at each other a few times, and they all saw the sorrow in each other's eyes - the war has made them lose too much.
This is an emotion that cannot be described in words, and the soldier who can not fear life and death on the battlefield is undoubtedly respected, and now Gongsun Co has undoubtedly become a candle on the iceberg - poignant and desperate.
Looking at the tribesmen accompanying the ladder, looking at the Mangguo soldiers holding scimitars, and looking at Su Qin and others who were dodging the arrows shot by the enemy under the city wall, I don't know who whispered to open the door, although the sound was small but like thunder, it set off a monstrous wave among the soldiers on the city wall, these soldiers bit their lips tightly, the arrow in their hands had been wound but no one shot it, they all turned their heads to look in the direction of Qi Tianlie, with some expectation in their eyes.
"What are you doing?" Qi Luanfei frowned and shouted at the soldiers.
No one answered, and the soldiers on the walls were surprisingly silent, and the silence was terrible.
"Daddy, open the gates. Qi Luo Ge frowned and looked at the soldiers, turned his head and said to Qi Tianlie, although these soldiers will not cause a mutiny now, but if Qi Luo Ge does not open the city gate, it will at least have some impact on their morale, and the two armies are fighting, not the number of people, but morale!
For this point of praying for the heavens, Gongsun Cuo at this moment is like a spark falling on the dry haystack, seemingly insignificant, and when the momentum of the prairie fire has risen, he will find out how deadly.
It may be a bit inappropriate to compare morale to a spark in the prairie fire, just like many people use people to die for money and birds to eat and die for the results of their own blame, which is nothing more than a matter of cause or effect in the eyes of Qi Tianlie, just like the silence of the soldiers defending the city now, he sighed secretly, Qi Tianlie nodded to Qi Luoge, and then turned to Wang Pojun and said General Wang, you go to open the city gate, the enemy is close at hand, you must guard the north gate for me.
"Yes!" Wang Pojun replied, and ran under the city wall with two guards.
And the soldiers on the city wall knew that Qi Tianlie had given an order, and their morale doubled, and the bows and crossbows in their hands shot towards the enemy outside the city walls, gritting their teeth, as if buying time for Su Qin and them at the city gate.
Of course, Su Qin and the others at the city gate didn't know what was happening on the city wall, looking at the tribesmen and Mangguo warriors who were less than fifty paces, Su Qin pulled Xi Ri Wenlan back, and then took Gongsun to a dark corner between the city gate and the city wall, looking at Xi Ri Wenlan who was biting his lip, Su Qin said You stay with Gongsun Gongzi, speaking of which Su Qin looked at Mu Ye, "Mu Ye, you protect the two of them." β
Makino, who was holding a scimitar, had been standing in front of everyone just now, using a curved bow to shoot arrows to this side, because of Xi Ri Wenlan, the arrows of the Mangguo soldiers were all shot at the city wall, and there were not many shots at the city gate, so it can be said that there was no, and the tribes and tribes saw Su Qin and others under the city gate wearing Mangguo costumes, although they didn't know what was happening, but no one aimed the curved bow at them, but that's it, there will always be some deviations from the rules of thousands of feather arrows to the city gate.
Makino coughed and nodded, there was no nonsense, Xi Ri Wenlan was not reckless, and honestly stood on the side of Gongsun Cuo, while Makino's tall body was in front of the two of them, and Su Qin was standing in the front.
The first round of arrows on the city wall fell, and the tribesmen who ran in front of them and carried the ladder fell a lot, while the Mangguo soldiers did not suffer many casualties because they had shields in their hands, and they formed a small phalanx of one or twenty people with shields in their hands and slowly moved towards the side of the city wall.
With his hand ablaze away the arrows that were shooting at his side, Su Qin exhaled secretly, there are only himself and Muye on his side now, Muye also has typhoid fever, Gongsun Cuo is even more than capable of strength, if he waits for the soldiers of Mangguo to come under the city wall, I am afraid that he will ......
"We're all going to die. Looking at the soldiers who seemed to be able to see their faces, Gongsun said with a wry smile.
Hearing Gongsun Cuo's words, although he was a little unwilling in his heart, Su Qin still nodded, watching the soldiers of Mangguo and the clan soldiers fall one by one, the breath of death filled his heart for the first time, and he remembered Mu Hatyu at this moment in his heart, and he didn't know if she would know where she was buried.
Taking two steps back, Su Qin came to Gongsun Cuo's side, thought for a while and said something, not a consolation, "Isn't there an old saying in Yanguo, what is life and death and wealth in the sky, I don't know if it's true or not, just like I've never been sure if a good person has a good reward, and I don't have the heart to think about its origin, just like the old man in our mountains said that suffering is a blessing, I believe it very much, I didn't do anything worthy of my conscience when I lived so big, I died when I died, I didn't live in vain, even if I longed for the good, Warmth is self-righteous for a long time, and it is better than being scolded alive. β
After Su Qin finished speaking, Mu Ye was stunned, he didn't seem to understand what Su Qin said, who didn't read much, and Xi Ri Wenlan blinked, a trace of approval flashed in his eyes, and looked Su Qin up and down, she suddenly wondered what kind of story the man in front of her had, how could a person from the tribe sneak into the team of Mangguo when he spoke? Could it be that he is an enemy of the tribe?
"My master once said that death is not terrible, and it is better to die than to die. Xi Ri Wenlan looked at Su Qin and whispered, although his expression was nervous, but he was more calm.
"Let's go, let's go!" Gongsun said three words in a row, as if he wanted to throw away something, and then laughed twice, "It's a shame that I'm well-read, and I can't imagine that I can't be as calm as a little girl at the moment of life and death." β
Hearing Gongsun Cuo say this, Xi Ri asked Lan to refute it, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, and just said to Gongsun Cuo, I'm afraid you still have an obsession in your heart.
"Obsession?" Hearing this word, Gongsun smiled wrongly, and then remembered something, and said to Xi Ri and asked Lan that I didn't mean to laugh at you just now, Xi Ri asked Lan and said that he didn't take it to heart.
Wanting to take out a stack of rice paper from his arms, Gongsun stared at it for a moment, raised his hand and wanted to hand it to Su Qin, and then paused, "I originally wanted you to give this to Nuan Nuan...... But I'm afraid we won't be able to live......" Speaking of this, Gongsun looked at the rice paper and whispered a sentence of love and sacrifice, it seems that I have fallen behind in this life after all.
Only Xi Ri Wenlan heard the last sentence that Gongsun said wrongly, and silently repeated it in his heart, nodding, while Su Qin looked at the Mangguo soldiers who were less than ten meters away from the city wall, and said to Muye You try to protect the two of them, and then picked up the curved bow and pointed an arrow at the thigh of a Mangguo soldier who was walking in front!
There were only eighteen feather arrows in Su Qin's quiver, and by the time he finished shooting the feather arrows in his quiver, eighteen Mangguo soldiers had already fallen to the ground, although Su Qin did not shoot them, but watching them fall to the ground - some were shot by the feather arrows on the city wall, and some were trampled and trampled to death, Su Qin still felt a little unbearable in his heart.
That is, the time for his mind to turn, Su Qin knew that he didn't have time to be sad now, and used the curved bow in his hand to fly a few arrows, Su Qin's forehead already had a layer of fine sweat, and he put the curved bow on his back, Su Qin took two steps forward and bent down to pick up a long knife, and then looked back at Mu Ye and smiled, Mu Ye held the scimitar in his hand tightly, nodded at Su Qin, and then moved his eyes to the cloud ladder carried by the tribesmen who came to the city wall, and some people rushed to the city gate, but were stopped by Su Qin who stepped forward, and Xi Ri Wenlan and Gongsun Cuo in the back had already closed their eyesγ
Feeling the city gate vibrate, Gongsun mistakenly thought it was an illusion, and when he felt loose against the back of the city gate, Gongsun opened his eyes - a gap opened in the city gate, and the gap became bigger and bigger, so that one person could pass through.
"Come on in. Wang Pojun shouted at the half-lying grandson.
The soldiers and tribesmen of Mangguo were already under the city wall at this time, and the tribesmen held the ladder to extend to the city wall, followed by people who continued to fall from the arrows on the ladder, but more people climbed up the ladder, wailing, shouting and killing were deafening, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Seeing that Gongsun Coo, who had already opened the city gate, got up first, but did not get in first, but asked Xi Ri to ask Lan to go in first, whether he was injured by mistake or captured, the probability of that kind of life was clear to Xi Ri Lan at a glance, when she got into the city gate, she looked back, and there were more than a dozen people from Mangguo and tribes who killed Su Qin in front of the city gate.
Pushing Gongsun wrongly, Makino ran to Su Qin in front of him with a scimitar, and in just a few breaths, Su Qin's shoulders and chest already had several wounds of different depths.
"Leave me alone, you go into the city!" Su Qin roared, his eyes were red, and the green blade in his hand flew out, passing through one person's neck and shooting into another person's eyes.
As if he hadn't heard Su Qin's words, all the potential of Makino's body was stimulated at this time, and the scimitar in his hand spun strangely and shot out, slashing through a person's neck, and then brushing a person's palm back into his hand.
"Third Prince, you enter the city. β
"You bastard, go into the city, or I'll die for you!" Su Qin turned his head and shouted, he was stabbed in the thigh again, and he was half-kneeling on the ground unsteadily.
Makino roared angrily and rushed towards several of Su Qin's clansmen who were around.
At this time, a tiger howl came from not far away.
Su Qin, who was extremely familiar with this sound, dodged a knife to his forehead, and looked up, and when he looked up, the two tiger men actually beat a clansman away with one claw and ran towards the city gate.
The long knife slashed at the calf of a clansman, Su Qin then rolled on the ground, and when he came to Makino, he stepped back and pushed Makino, pushing Makino's gap in the city gate, Wang Pojun reached out behind and grabbed Makino's collar and pulled him into the city gate.
And although Su Qin was only five steps away from the city gate, the tiger man had already pounced in front of him!
"Close the gates. Looking at the situation outside, Wang Pojun gave an order in a voice that was not mixed with any emotion.
