Outside the wall, Guo Kang and others also set up a platform. He climbed up and tried to observe the situation on the opposite side of the compound.

The fighting over there seemed to be far more intense than they were. The alley at the back door leads to the nearby square. If you look closely, you can see that someone has retreated from that side and hid back in the courtyard.

He took a closer look, and found that several people rushed in from the entrance of the alley, and the leader was armed with a long sword, and cut down the family behind the palace in a few strokes. But the rest of the family turned around and shot at him, and the man had to retreat in a hurry. And in the distance, there are also constant shouts of killing, and it seems that the scale is not small.

He also wanted to continue to see what was going on over there, and the people in the yard spotted them and started shooting in this direction. Guo Kang had no choice but to quickly retract his head and jump off the stage again.

"See?" Guo Ponu asked.

"There are at least dozens of reinforcements from the enemy, but it seems that there are not many that can fight." Guo Kang replied: "It is estimated that the Wang family will not be able to gather all the people for a while, and everyone will be sent to fill the number." In my opinion, this support army was chased and ran. But further afield, there may be people rushing over. I see a fight in the distance. ”

"And what about those who resist them? Do you see it clearly? Guo Ponu asked again.

"They went to the back of the street, and the crosses were gone, and they didn't know if they were holding off the enemy on the other side, or if they were simply not ready to attack the courtyard." Guo Kang said: "I don't see how many people there are, but a few of them are quite capable of fighting. I don't know if it's Captain Lucas, or if someone else has come to help. ”

"If there are reinforcements, it should be more than that." Guo Ponu thought for a while and said, "Are you sure you only see a few leaders?" ”

"yes." Guo Kang nodded.

"It's really hard to say...... Guo Ponu couldn't say clearly: "It may be that the strikers who came to support, or it may be that there are a few masters who can't stand it and come out to help us." We still know too little about the current situation. ”

"However, now that the situation over there has changed, more support may be on the way." She judged: "Everyone will start to take sides and choose a side to help." In order to reflect their role, there are definitely people who will let their forces enter as soon as possible. ”

"On our side, we have to find a way to block the road and don't let them escape. Our reinforcements should be coming in as well, and the pressure on them will increase. If the enemy can't beat it, he will definitely find a soft persimmon to pinch and break through from here. ”

"What if the people who stand in line are on their side?" Guo Kang asked curiously.

"Then continue to hide and wait for Daddy to come and kill him." Guo Ponu rolled his eyes.

“……”

Guo Kang thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so he turned around and prepared to gather people.

"We definitely can't beat the attack, and it was hard to even delay them just now." Guo Ponu warned again: "Just put a fire on the other side of the alley, this side is the most difficult to support." Hurry up and push the car over and block the intersection. ”

As she spoke, she also helped to shout and ask everyone to throw all the debris they could pick up on the road, hoping to temporarily hinder the enemy's cavalry. The road in front of the gate was too wide to defend in this place, so she ordered the people to set fire to the roadside, and then found a good position at the corner of the street. Here, with the help of a collapsed house, they erected obstacles, and then pushed the wagons over as well, blocking the middle of the road. The original departure position, called Shi Huizhen to help watch and see if he could block the enemy.

Immediately, Guo Kang and the others began to gradually retreat, gathering the scattered people all the way and preparing for defense. The enemy also seemed to have more important things to do, and felt that they had just retreated normally, so they did not pursue them closely. However, Guo Kang and his group, the queue in the normal state is similar to the collapse, and it may be really difficult to distinguish.

During this period, the other side of the courtyard was also quieter, and it seemed that it could not move. However, the enemy was also tired, and had a rare respite, and retreated into the courtyard wall, not knowing whether to prepare to defend to the death, or to shrink his forces and prepare to break through. Guo Kang thought about it, and felt that with the reinforcements of the Wang family who had retreated into the courtyard just now, the number of people might be more than in the first attack, so he didn't dare to go out rashly, so he could only command his subordinates and continue to pile up roadblocks.

After a while, the other side of the courtyard remembered the shouts of killing, and several explosions were heard. Guo Kang ran out of the alley cautiously again, but he still couldn't see the specific situation, but he could hear continuous gunshots from that direction.

"What happened? Someone is here again? Guo Ponu shouted.

Guo Kang nodded, ran back again, and jumped behind the carriage.

"There are more people this time, I estimate that the Wang family will soon be unable to stand it and will come here to break through." Guo Kang said: "Let's hurry up and get ready. ”

"Really? So fast! Although he had always seemed very calm, Guo Ponu was obviously relieved when he heard that a large number of reinforcements were coming.

"This can't be faked. In other cases, I may not have enough battlefield experience to draw conclusions. But I tinker with muskets every day, and I'm all too familiar with this thing. Guo Kang said confidently: "At this density, it is estimated that there must be at least dozens of shots." It can't be a small force. ”

"The Wang family has been fighting with us for a long time just now, and they don't have this firepower. And the people who were scattered before we...... They have to have this level, and they won't be washed away. He shook his head and said, "That's why I guess that a large number of foreign aid is really coming." ”

"That's a good thing, but we've got to keep that last time." Guo Ponu reminded: "Let everyone else gather quickly." ”

Guo Kang turned back and called people again. His voice was a little hoarse, and he felt that there was nothing left to speak, so he waved his hand and called everyone over.

"Our support is coming, and this is the last time." He said briefly: "However, they must also be the hardest to survive." Let's hold on, everybody. ”

A few people cheered, but the others were mostly silent. They didn't have any weapons to prepare, so they found a lot of rocks and piled them up beside them. Guo Kang himself had no weapons, and his subordinates helped him find a pig-killing knife, but Guo Kang felt that he might not be able to use it well in his state.

He had previously injured his left arm, and even if he hadn't broken it, it wouldn't have been much better. In order to intercept the enemy cavalry just now, the whole person was knocked out and flew out, and the right arm of the force was twisted. He was too nervous just now, and he didn't feel anything, but now that there was no enemy coming for a while, the sprained area began to hurt, making him unable to exert his strength.

He had seen before that the sword in Guo Ponu's hand had been damaged, and the previous one had already been broken. After thinking about it, he still handed her the pig-killing knife.

"This knife is good, you take it." He said, "I'm going to change for a different weapon." ”

"Not bad......" Guo Ponu glanced at it, and seemed to have reservations about it. However, she still glanced at Guo Kang and asked, "Then what should you do yourself?" ”

"I'll just take one - I won't be able to use this thing anyway." Guo Kang said: "And my arm hurts a little, and I can't lift it anymore." I guess I have to ask you for the matter of cutting people. ”

"Then you'll go back to the back." Guo Ponu looked speechless: "I've told you, don't be reckless." ”

"I also said, I'm the conductor." Guo Kang pointed out.

"Okay, good, you're reasonable." Guo Ponu had no choice but to deal with it: "That's okay, you go behind me, rest with the flag, and I'll help you guard here." ”

"Well, when I was a child, I was very envious of my mother, I thought she was very strong and dashing, and she could travel around with a sword and make the enemy tremble. Even those aunts who don't have a good relationship with her, some are cold and arrogant, some are gentle and kind, and they look very different, but the way they hold swords and carry soldiers is also very desirable. ”

"I'm probably the first woman in the capital to hold a pig-killing knife." She picked up the knife and patted Guo Kang: "Go back - this is what you owe me!" I'll look for you later. ”

Although at this time, there shouldn't be any weapons, Guo Kang couldn't help laughing, nodded, and agreed.

After a while, the gunfire became more frequent, and the sound of shouting and killing rang out from far and near. At the end of the street, several riders rushed out and rounded the ruins. However, Shi Huizhen, who had been monitoring over there, immediately asked everyone to set fire. The pile of debris blocking the street burned, and the war horse was reluctant to approach at all, so he had to give up this direction and rush towards Guo Kang and them.

Everyone stretched out their bamboo poles and long sticks to block them, and several riders stopped, and instead of daring to rush or jump over, they swung their knives and slashed up, trying to cut off these long weapons. Others turned back to say hello, and soon, a group of foot soldiers also trotted over.

"Look over there." Guo Ponu pointed to the back of the rider, a young man wearing ill-fitting armor and also riding a tall horse: "That seems to be their young master." No wonder there are so many guards in this manor, and they fight so hard......"

"Which one?" Guo Kang thought about it and found that he couldn't remember: "There are a lot of young people in the Wang family, and I don't seem to know a few." ”

"Uh...... Never mind. Guo Ponu gave up decisively: "Anyway, I won't need it soon." You just let the people behind you smash the goods. ”

Guo Kang immediately went to order everyone. The people in the back don't have any ranged weapons, so they can only help throw stones. Although the damage is limited, it can at least add some trouble to them. After receiving his order, everyone adjusted their direction one after another, and specifically smashed at that young master Wang.

The family in front was not afraid, either dodging or blocking with a small shield. These Rus' were somewhat lacking in strength, and they didn't cause much attrition. But that Young Master Wang is obviously not a familiar hand, and he relies on the protection of his subordinates. Accidentally, he was hit several times.

Despite his armor, he snorted and complained. The riders had no choice but to urge the infantry to come quickly.

Soon, more people came to the barricades and began to attack.

Of course, they didn't dare to set fire to these obstacles, otherwise, they could theoretically burn all these combustible debris, but everyone wouldn't leave tonight. Therefore, it can only be attacked directly.

However, the guards here are indeed weak. In their opinion, they have been defeated many times, and there is really nothing to say. In such narrow alleys, the martial arts and armor of a single person are more important than in the open field and in the military formation. In this environment, they should progress faster.

But Guo Ponu almost single-handedly broke their illusions.

As soon as she stood behind the car, she saw someone break through the stabbing barrier of the long weapon, and immediately rushed forward. He holds half of the door panel in his left hand and a pig-killing knife in his right hand. The enemy not only had to defend against others, but also had to climb over obstacles, and was very passive, and was killed by her several times in a row. In the end, for the sake of convenience, she simply jumped on the already collapsed barricade pile, and slashed at three enemies by herself.

"Huh? Miss Guo? Someone recognized her and shouted, "Why are you here?" ”

"Let's go over, Aunt Guo!" That Young Master Wang also shouted: "Don't follow Shi Zetian to mess around!" I'll pay you more!" ”

Even he was saying that it was Shi Huizhen who took the lead in the rebellion, which surprised the Guo brothers and sisters. However, they really didn't have time to explain.

"Stop talking nonsense! Your scandal has long been exposed, and now the court has sent someone! Guo Kang said loudly: "You surrender quickly, there is still a way to live!" ”

However, the enemy seemed to know that they could not convince them, and the attack never stopped. More people climbed the obstacle pile, ready to rush over. And Guo Ponu also kept making a move, and shouted: "None of you want to pass from here!" He swung his sword and greeted him.

Her advantage is also evident here, the enemy's momentum has been frustrated, and for a while she is unable to continue the attack. But they also discovered new loopholes, and some people rushed up and began to push the carriage in the middle of the road, trying to open the breach.

After all, this car is not a special combat vehicle, and there is no place on the ground where the wheels can be fixed. Several enemies crowded in front of the car, their heads bowed, ready to push.

Guo Kang and several of his subordinates hurriedly rushed over and resisted the carriage.

"Can you hold it?" Next to him, Guo Ponu jumped down to avoid the other party's shot, and took this opportunity to ask hurriedly.

"No problem. I don't have to use my arms either, I just put my shoulders against the car. Guo Kang said, really bending down and wrestling with the enemy.

Guo Ponu knew that he would definitely not be able to persuade him, so he had to tell him to be careful. He jumped back into the car and drove away the nearest family members who wanted to attack Guo Kang and the others.

The enemy is also continuing to exert force. This time, they may be pouring out of the nest, and the direction is only this one, it is estimated that they are determined to send their young master out. Even if you surrender, you can't accept it.

Although they suffered losses in the fight, they had a lot of strength and soon began to squeeze the people behind the car. Guo Kang and others also tried their best to prevent them from succeeding.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and Guo Kang felt that even so, his arms were so painful that he couldn't lift them. But he can't care about so much now, so he can only close his eyes and push hard.

I don't know how long it took, the surrounding Rus people all went up, and Guo Ponu also came forward to attack again and again, and even stepped on his carriage. But there were still too many enemies, and even in winter, the sweat on Guo Kang's head flowed into his eyes, making him sting. He felt his strength draining, and he didn't know how long he could hold on.

At this moment, someone reached out and pressed on the body of the car, and the enemy's pushing force suddenly froze. For a moment, Guo Kang felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He looked up, wiped the sweat from his eyes, and saw Theodora smiling, leaning down, looking at him as well.

Guo Kang hurriedly wiped his eyes again, but Theodora didn't say anything. She put her other hand on the body, taking Guo Kang's place, and then let out a soft snort, and her luck was exerted.

The carriage slid out with a dozen enemies who had climbed and pushed carts behind it, and the boxes and barrels on the cart slammed forward, knocking almost all of them down. Here, a group of Ross people who helped against the car also suddenly lost their support and fell on all fours. Guo Ponu on the roof of the car was slashing with two people, and hurriedly jumped to the side so that he was not thrown out.

"What are you doing? Ay? There you are? ”
