Chapter Seventy-One: A Beautiful Autumn Night

Previous Chapter

Du Wenlin and Wang Ling did not fall behind in the face of the attack of the man in yellow and Wei Dongqing, because Wei Dongqing's new injury had not healed, and his skills were greatly reduced, so his combination with the man in yellow was invisibly weaker than his opponent.

The gap in the city wall that had just been torn apart was gradually filled because of the addition of the man in yellow. There were fewer and fewer Ming troops attacking the city walls.

Although the Ming army under the city was still desperately climbing up, most of them were shot by the defenders above halfway.

The soldiers who attacked were almost killed by the man in yellow, and the few remaining people were forced to retreat to Du Wenlin's side.

Du Wenlin saw that the general trend was gone, and if he continued to fight hard like this, he was afraid that everyone would have to stay here today.

Rong'er was still entangled by the three yellow-clothed people and couldn't get out, he struggled to use the "green mountains faintly", and the sharp sword light forced the yellow-clothed people back two steps. Turned around like lightning and stabbed at a man in yellow who was about to attack Rong'er.

The man in yellow never dreamed that Du Wenlin, who was fighting hard with the man in gold, would withdraw and attack him. It was too late to hear the sound of the sword stabbing behind him, and the tip of the sword had already penetrated his chest.

Du Wenlin didn't stop, and with a flick of his sword, he attacked another man in yellow.

His body and strength are not comparable to Rong'er, the man in yellow saw a white figure faster than himself shooting, withdrew the dagger that had been attacking Rong'er halfway, and stabbed at the figure.

The strength of the dagger is the sharpness of the assassination, while the distance of the dagger is shorter than that of the sword.

The dagger stabbed out, but unfortunately before the opponent's body could reach, the long sword had already pierced into his chest.

When the tip of the sword touched his body, he instinctively wanted to dodge sideways, but the opponent's speed was too fast, and a heart-piercing pain spread throughout his body.

He threw away the dagger, covered the wound with both hands, and fell to the ground.

Du Wenlin shouted to Rong'er:

"Retreat immediately, you go down first, I'll cover you."

Rong'er didn't recklessly do it this time, flew up, landed on the cloud ladder, and with a tap, it had already floated to the ground.

At this time, the gold-clothed man has also been killed. While entanglement with him, Du Wenlin shouted:

"Retreat now!"

There are still a few daredevils left, they don't have the same skills as Rong'er, some people retreated to the wall, trying to climb the ladder, but they were instantly cut down by the rebels who surrounded them.

Wang Ling forced Wei Dongqing to retreat and glanced at Du Wenlin, who was fighting fiercely with the gold-clothed man while waving his head to signal retreat.

Gritting his teeth, he jumped up, and retreated to the ground like Rong'er.

At this time, Du Wenlin was the only one left on the city wall, and he slowly retreated to the wall, and found that the ladder had been completely overthrown, and it was no longer possible to borrow the ladder to go down.

The left hand took out the dagger from his arms, and the right hand made a move "Gu Bai Sensen", and the cold sword qi enveloped the surroundings, forcing everyone to retreat one after another.

He jumped up and flew down the city. Halfway through, the dagger in his left hand slammed into the city wall, taking advantage of the slow and rapid falling body.

The sword in his right hand unleashed the "Boundless Falling Wood", like a silver cover covering the top of his head, and knocked away many arrows that shot down.

The body paused slightly, and floated towards the city again.

As soon as he landed, he was quickly withdrawn by the two girls who covered their bodies with shields.

Li Rusong saw Du Wenlin return to the formation and patted him on the shoulder:

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and it is good that people can come back."

Du Wenlin looked at the corpses of countless daredevils under the city, his heart was gloomy, and he didn't know how to answer.

Li Rusong brandished his sword and led the soldiers to launch a new round of more fierce attacks.

Du Wenlin stood in front of the formation, watching the attacking soldiers being continuously shot by the black rain of arrows, and his heart was anxious.

Wang Ling and Rong'er were covered in blood, looking at their demeanor, they should not be injured, they were all the blood of the enemy.

Both of them are dressed in women's clothes, and they are stained with blood, which makes them even more heroic in their beauty.

The fierce battle just now made them still a little scared.

Rong'er's face was pale, her wheezing was slightly heavy, and she hadn't recovered yet.

Du Wenlin looked at the two girls and felt extremely guilty in his heart.

Today, it is not their responsibility to let them take such a risk?

None of the daredevils who followed him to attack the city wall survived, and all died on it.

The team members who did not go to the city were also seriously injured in the charge, and the team of more than 2,000 people was broken by seven or eight.

Li Rusong was still attacking desperately with his soldiers, and he couldn't stand this scumbag.

A ruined city has been flooded for nearly twenty days, and it has been crumbling, but today it has lost thousands of soldiers for it, not to mention the lives of the heartbroken soldiers, even his old face has no place to put it.

Ye Mengxiong suddenly came to the front of the battle with his officials, he glanced at Du Wenlin, who was covered in blood, and did not say a word, silently staring at the battlefield ahead.

"Order, stop the attack immediately!" He said to the officers beside him.

The mournful sound of the trumpet sounded,

The charging soldier heard the sound of the horn and began to turn back. But Li Rusong didn't seem to hear it, and he still rushed forward desperately shirtless.

"Go and pull Mr. Li back immediately!" Ye Mengxiong's face was displeased.

Li Rusong returned to the front of the formation, his face was flushed, and he was panting like a cow.

"You didn't hear the order to withdraw?" Ye Mengxiong stared at him.

"Hmph, I don't believe I can't capture this broken city!" Sidestep the question.

Ye Mengxiong didn't blame anymore, and said lightly:

"That's the end of today's attack. The siege continues. ”

Turning his head to the general behind him, he said:

"Order the officers of all armies and above to come to the South Gate Barracks for a meeting."

By noon, the generals of all the armies had arrived.

"Today's attack has failed again, and the number of casualties is innumerable, and we can't continue like this. Every day thousands of soldiers fold in, and in less than half a month, we will become bare-bones generals. ”

Ye Mengxiong said coldly.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

The war is unfavorable, everyone is anxious, and no one can think of a good way for the time being.

"It is strictly forbidden for all armies to take the initiative to attack without receiving an order. It is tightly sealed and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Ye Mengxiong gritted his teeth and said.

I wanted to end the war as soon as possible to save the people in the city from fire and water, but it backfired, and the only way to do it was to trap the people in the city.

After everyone dispersed, Du Wenlin was specially left behind.

Although Du Wenlin is only a six-rank petty officer, because of his outstanding performance and his special status as leading the "Strange Soldiers" team, he will be recruited to participate in every combat meeting.

"Master Du, you have to work hard to go to Ningxia City." Ye Mengxiong said.

"Well, no problem!" Du Wenlin replied.

Now the whole city is surrounded by water, the four gates are closed, and not even a fly can fly out.

Getting in from the outside, it's harder.

How could Ye Mengxiong not know the difficulties, but since he made a request, he believed that Du Wenlin had this ability.

Du Wenlin couldn't even refuse.

Du Wenlin was tasked with going to the city to spread the news that the city was about to be breached. Shake the morale of the army and the people.

Then find a way to provoke the relationship between Bibai and Xu Chao, and it is best to let them have an internal struggle and consume the overall strength of the rebels.

At night, the fog shrouded the inside and outside of the lonely city.

Two black figures quietly came out of the barracks outside the north gate and headed straight for the city wall.

They moved extremely quickly, like two goshawks flying close to the ground in the dark night, and in the blink of an eye they were under the wall.

They are Du Wenlin and Wang Ling.

There was no wind tonight, and everything was silent, and the city was as silent as death.

Du Wenlin made a slight gesture, his body had jumped two feet high, the dagger slammed into the gap in the city wall, his right arm exerted force, and his figure flew up again, climbing directly on the city wall.

The probe looked around, and not far away several soldiers were leaning against the wall and napping.

The left hand gestured downward.

Wang Ling jumped up like a swallow drilling into the clouds, rose halfway, and the sword in his hand tapped the city wall, rose again, and came to Du Wenlin's side in a blink of an eye.

The two of them gently climbed over the wall, like two wisps of black smoke drifting over the top of the wall more than a foot wide, came to the opposite wall, and floated down.

Evading the rebels patrolling the night, the two came to the door of the "Zhongjia Grocery Store" and knocked lightly a few times.

The door opens from the inside and dodges in.

Boss Zhong was a little surprised when he saw Du Wenlin visiting at midnight:

"What's the urgency of Lord Du's arrival at this time?"

Du Wenlin was not angry and said:

"I want to swagger during the day, but can I get in?"

Boss Zhong smiled dumbly.

Du Wenlin briefly explained the mission, and instructed him to convey the mission to all the scouts in ambush in the city tomorrow.

Boss Zhong led them into the backyard:

"There's only one room here, so the two adults will spend the night."

Du Wenlin didn't say anything, but Wang Ling's face showed joy.

Boss Zhong smiled slightly, closed the door and retreated.

"It's been a long time since we've shared a bed, shouldn't we thank Boss Zhong for your success tonight?" Wang Ling's face was cunning.

Du Wenlin smiled wryly, took off his boots, and lay down in his clothes.

"Hey, why are you like this? It's not a barracks either, and you have to sleep in your clothes. Wang Lingjiao said angrily.

As he spoke, he took off Du Wenlin's socks:

"Hey, my feet stink enough, hurry up and sit up and help you wash your feet."

There was a basin and a bucket behind the door, and in a blink of an eye, the foot-washing water was served.

While carefully helping Du Wenlin rub his feet, he said:

"Miss Ben's hands are thin and tender, and it's the first time I've washed a man's feet when she's grown so big."

Du Wenlin didn't know what to say, and he held back for a long time before he said:

"Thank you so much! I didn't need you to wash it for me. ”

Wang Ling was not happy again:

"According to you, am I bored with myself?"

Du Wenlin hurriedly shut up, not daring to answer again.

In early autumn, the temperature on the kang is still suitable. Wang Ling leaned against his chest and hugged his waist tightly.

Du Wenlin was so frightened that he didn't dare to move a little. The figures of Cao Cuizhu and Bitana kept appearing in my mind.

The hands clasping his waist began to wander around at this time, and he wanted to resist, but in the ups and downs of more than half a year, how many times this infatuated girl took risks for him and how many times he saved his life, he couldn't count it.

With her skills, her looks, and her background, she should have married a chic son from a well-connected family and a princely and aristocratic family in the capital, and enjoyed the life of a noble lady who came to her hands and bread to open her mouth. But for him, he was willing to abandon everything and come to this desolate and monotonous borderland, and he was afraid that his life would not be over.

Wang Ling's snort became heavier and heavier, and he began to reach out and take off Du Wenlin's clothes.

Then he was also a jade body, like a gentle rabbit clinging to Du Wenlin's body.

Although the autumn night is not as sultry as the spring night, it will also make the iron-clad man lower his noble head.

The wind gently swept through the screen window, and the wind chimes under the eaves occasionally made one or two crisp sounds, adding infinite tenderness and romance to the charm of the room.

Sprinkle nectar on the autumn night at the border, and still sing the phoenix in the dream.
