Chapter 283: Battle
Although the Wang family was very worried about Zhao Yunlan and his son on the city wall, he also knew that he couldn't make trouble for Yunlan, so he had to silently follow Cui Mama and them to the cellar together, Li Mingli followed Zhao Yunlan's side, and the two of them each held a machete in their hands, waiting for the enemy who might rush in in the next second.
Zhao Yunlan was very scared in her heart, the machete in her hand was not easy, she had never killed a chicken since she was a child, and she was about to face killing the enemy at this time. Even though she knew that those were enemies and people who would hurt herself and her relatives, Zhao Yunlan still couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart. But there is no way now, if you don't fight back, then you can only be slaughtered.
'Huh~hiss~huh~hiss', Zhao Yunlan's chest rose and fell more and more, her heart seemed to be about to jump out, and her legs were already cramping when she stood up straight, but Zhao Yunlan didn't seem to feel it.
Li Mingli looked at the sister-in-law next to him that something was wrong, her face was pale, her lower body was stiff, and she hurriedly helped Zhao Yunlan to sit back.
Zhao Yunlan was pulled back into consciousness, and her brain felt the pain from her calf: "I have leg cramps, don't move me first, let me relax." ”
Zhao Yunlan leaned on the chair, tried her best to relax her body and slowly bent down to rub her calves, the beads of sweat on her forehead couldn't stop dripping down, and the cramps in her calves were slowly relieved.
"Your eldest brother, can they resist the enemy?" Zhao Yunlan asked.
Li Mingli: "It must be possible, Fucheng also sent so many soldiers over." ”
Zhao Yunlan stopped talking, just sat quietly, time passed so slowly, all the people hid at home but didn't dare to sleep, and the roaring and shouting outside the city seemed to be able to reach Zhao Yunlan's ears.
Ye Sheng had already returned to Li Mingren's side, and at this moment, Cheng'an's soldiers were attacking the city gate. The sound of the impact was getting louder and louder, and the city gate had been slammed for I don't know how many times. The manpower inside the city gate was also about to run out, and Zhao Yuncheng went back and forth to make up for the stones for the catapults, and his hands were already worn out by the stones.
Li Mingren's arm was also bruised by the arrow that came up, but this time Cao Yingfa did not flinch, and even Cao Yingfa picked up the bow and arrow to join the team of archers. Chen Yiqing's voice was hoarse when dispatching supplies.
"Send more men to the city gates, give me resistance!" Li Mingren shouted.
Chen Yiqing ran over and asked, "Didn't you say that there were reinforcements?" When will it arrive? Our people can't resist it! ”
Li Mingren didn't answer, because he didn't know either, he only said: "The city gate must be guarded." ”
The Chengjia army outside was still attacking the city, and the soldiers of the Northern Desert were shouting on their horses, Li Mingren only felt that this picture was ironic.
At this time, a group of people came out on the street, led by Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingli who came out with the Li family's guards, but the team became more and more adults, and the people in the city came out. Everyone came towards the city gate with their tools in hand, pushing a few hay carts.
"Master, it's the lady and the third master who are here."
Li Mingren was very worried, but he couldn't care about it so much at the moment, and the offensive outside the city was getting more and more fierce.
Li Mingli and Zhao Yunlan waited at home for a long time, but they couldn't sit still, so they wanted to take the initiative. Zhao Yunlan could think that Li Mingren's side was understaffed. Only four guards were left to protect the Wang family, and all the other family guards followed Zhao Yunlan out one by one.
Chunxiang and He Hua each took a kitchen knife and were about to follow Zhao Yunlan out.
"You two go back!"
Haruka didn't care about the rules of the master and servant, and refused: "No, we have to follow Madame." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "It's not a joke. ”
He Hua also said: "What Madame can do, we can also do." We swear to follow Madame to the death. ”
Zhao Yunlan didn't want to waste time here, so she went with them. The people of the city listened to the movement outside, and watched a woman walk towards the city gate with a group of people on the head, and they should know what the reason was, and everyone joined the team to defend their homeland.
Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingli became the leaders of this team, everyone held weapons in their hands, Zhao Yunlan said: "It's best to use the kind of bang bang that can be knocked on the ground." ”
Li Mingli said: "For a while, everyone will listen to the command, for our common home." ”
Everyone responded: "Okay! ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Our momentum must be sufficient, and it is best to scare people outside and make them think that we have thousands of horses." ”
The team was neat in an instant: "Good, good!" ”
When she arrived at the city gate, Zhao Yunlan couldn't care about Li Mingren. "Everyone listens to the order, the Li family guards go up to the city tower to listen to Lord Li's instructions, and the rest of the people with great strength stand up, I count three, one, two, three out of the ranks."
The Li family's guards went up to the city tower in an orderly and fast manner, and were arranged to be among the archers and slingers.
In front of Zhao Yunlan, more than thirty strong men stood up. Zhao Yunlan glanced at it, "You go find a place to intersperse it and resist the city gate." ”
"The rest of the people, all in a row of ten here, all the way down. Pick up the utensils in your hands, and let's fall to the ground. Follow my pace, ha! Zhao Yunlan had a hoe in her hand, and there was a muffled sound on the ground.
Everyone shouted "Ha~" with a muffled sound, and the feeling of thousands of horses and thousands of troops was created in an instant.
The people outside the city gate were frightened when they heard the voice, and Cheng An looked at the people around him: "They have reinforcements?" ”
"My subordinates don't know."
Cheng An was a little puzzled, he hadn't seen anyone else for so long, and he couldn't figure it out in his heart, and the other soldiers were also frightened when they heard the voice.
After a while, Cheng An felt that something was wrong, so he said: "Impossible, there are reinforcements that have come out early, how can they be locked up in the city all the time." Keep attacking for me! ”
Zhao Yunlan just wants to build momentum, now the strength of the two sides is very different, our side has entered a state of fatigue, this can boost our morale, and this voice can scare the other side for a while, as long as it can scare the other side for a short time, it can give our side more respite.
"Mingli, you take a few people to pick up those arrows on the city tower." Zhao Yunlan thought that the bow and arrow on Li Mingren's side should not be enough, so she could only use the materials on the spot.
"Haruka, you go back and get soap and a bucket immediately."
"Yes, ma'am."
Those stones are obviously not enough, Zhao Yunlan wants to use soapy water to slip to stop the enemy on the wall, I don't know if the effect is good or not, but I always have to try.
Zhao Yunlan only hated herself at the moment why she didn't learn physicalization so that she could still use a simple bomb or something, instead of thinking of using this kind of child's trick at a critical moment.
Haruka soon returned, holding a basin with all the soap she could get out of.
"There's a well over there, go get water, melt the soap, and pour it down." Zhao Yunlan smashed the soap in the basin and wanted to melt it faster, He Wen quickly brought water, several people brought the basin from nowhere, and Zhao Yunlan divided some broken soap and began to stir.
Then the stronger man carried the water to the city tower, and the thick soapy water fell down the ladder outside the city tower one by one, and it really played a role, the ladder became very slippery because of the water, and many of the people who climbed halfway down fell because they didn't grasp it because they slipped.
But even so, Li Mingren obviously felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, and could only beg for reinforcements in his heart.
Maybe it was really sensed by the heavens, and when the city gate was about to be breached, a huge reinforcement arrived.
The leader of the reinforcements was General Zhennan, Fang Qifeng.
