When the soldiers of the Yaowu Army defending the city panicked and completely closed the gates of the inner city, they thought they could breathe a sigh of relief.

But as the steppe army approached, they immediately felt their scalps tingle after seeing the number of the steppe army clearly.

"How can there be so many people?"

A Yaowu sergeant couldn't help but swallow his saliva and then said with difficulty.

"Yes, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of grassland troops here, right?"

The other Yaowu soldier was holding on to the battlements of the city wall, and his whole body was weak.

"Don't worry, the gates of our Jinling City are not so easy to break, they don't have any siege equipment."

Although the leading Yaowu army commander was now covered with sweat, he was still strong and calm.

"But there are so many of them, even if they cut with a sword, they will always cut the city gate open."

"That's right, now our urn city gate hasn't had time to close, and now it's only this inner city gate that blocks them."

"How's that good? Could it be that we let them cut down the gates? ”

“······”

The Yaowu soldiers who defend the city, you say a word, I say a word.

"Okay, don't fucking make any noise, now immediately send a message to the top and ask them to come over to support quickly."

The leading Yaowu army commander was quite calm in this situation.

He immediately thought of having someone notify the other Yaowu troops to come to support.

As a result, those Yaowu soldiers who had been frightened to the point that the six gods had no master, as if they had found the backbone of the master, immediately began to hurry to prepare to inform the other Yaowu soldiers.

When they trembled and rang the alarm bell at the head of the city, the steppe army had already rushed to the city gate.

"These Dayu people didn't even have time to close the gate of the urn city, it's just God help me!"

Mu Hua Li Falcon laughed excitedly when he saw the gate of the northern city of Jinling City opened.

"Shaman, will this make the other party deliberately set a trap?"

A general of the Tugu clan asked cautiously.

Originally, as a middle-level general of the Tugu clan, he didn't have the opportunity to talk to Muhua Li Falcon at all.

However, he thought that if he could express his opinion at this time, whether it was right or wrong, he would be able to show his face in front of the shaman.

In this way, perhaps the shaman will be able to promote himself as soon as he is happy.

Therefore, this Tugu clan general would preemptively express his opinion before Murong Tongwei and Fei Doujin did not speak.

"Humph! If you can't even tell whether it's a trap or not, then what qualifications do you have to be a general? ”

What the general didn't expect was that Mu Hua Li Falcon immediately reprimanded him in a disdainful tone.

Immediately, he blushed.

At the same time, he saw that the people around him were looking at him with a kind of playful gaze.

And when he saw his immediate boss, Fei Doujin, he shuddered, and then great fear came at him.

"When the shaman taught me, at this time, I was really not strict with the discipline of the clansmen, please don't blame the shaman!"

As the new king of the Tugu clan, Murong Tongwei also stood up at this time to intercede for this general who did not know the height of the sky.

But this general did not let go of his hanging heart because of Murong Tongwei's begging for mercy, but when he saw the corners of Murong Tongwei's eyes that kept twitching, he immediately understood that his king actually did not forgive himself.

"It's over!"

At this time, there was only one thought left in the general's heart.

"Alright, now you shoot me all the obnoxious guys in the city."

Mu Hua Li Falcon did not disrupt his plan because of the remarks of the Tugu clan general just now, and he directly gave orders to the grassland army.

Then, with the trembling of the bowstring, countless arrows fell towards the city like fine raindrops.

Seeing this, the soldiers of Yaowu stationed there hid behind the battlements.

However, because Jinling City has been peaceful for so long, these Yaowu soldiers have forgotten how to defend the battle.

They didn't even see clearly what kind of archery method the steppe army used, so they chose to lie on the ground to dodge.

But when the rain of arrows of the grassland army fell, those Yaowu soldiers at the head of the city immediately came out with a painful howl.

"Everyone immediately leaned against the battlements, and it was useless for these steppe barbarians to lie on the ground with projectiles."

The leading Yaowu army commander immediately shouted loudly to the other Yaowu soldiers.

However, it was too late for him to remind, and five or six Yaowu soldiers lying on the city wall had already been pierced through their bodies by arrows.

They can only be pinned to the ground, writhing incessantly, and letting out a miserable wail.

"These damn grassland barbarians, Lao Tzu fought with them!"

A young Yaowu sergeant couldn't help but be furious when he saw a person behind him who had been directly pierced through the neck by an arrow, because this person was his eldest brother.

Immediately he trotted to the gate tower, where the eight-ox crossbow was placed at the head of the city.

The young Yaowu sergeant immediately pulled the Eight Ox Crossbow and aimed it at the grassland army at the city gate, and then he smashed the Eight Ox Crossbow without thinking about it.

However, as the machine was smashed down, the expected crossbow bolts flew out of a series of three people, but did not appear.

He just heard a loud "bang", and then the bowstring of the eight-ox crossbow exploded completely.

The bowstring pumped the air with a clattering sound with tremendous force.

"I thought these Dayu people were sheep without guts, but now it seems that they are not at all like timid sheep, but also stupid as donkeys!"

Corpse Burst Xingchen looked at the Yaowu soldier who was operating the eight-bull crossbow at the head of the city, and he couldn't help but smile mockingly at the corner of his mouth.

As soon as the words of the corpse star, he immediately drew the longbow on the side of the war horse, and then quickly bent the bow and set the arrow, and then with a whoosh, an arrow flew like a meteor towards the young Yaowu soldier.

After a soft "poof" sound, the young man who was full of blood was directly shot to the ground by the arrow.

"Okay, don't waste any more time, we need to hurry up and act immediately."

Mu Hua Li Falcon looked at the Yaowu soldiers who were hiding behind the battlements at the head of the city and did not dare to show their faces, and then shook his head indifferently and said.

With his order, a large number of steppe troops immediately rode their horses and rushed into the urn city.

At this time, the remaining Yaowu army and the guards of the city guard camp in the city heard the alarm from the northern city, and they did not react for a while.

"Isn't it that those guys in the North City are bored, and they deliberately ring the alarm bell for fun?"

After all, Jinling City has not been attacked by foreign enemies for a hundred years since its establishment, so no one thought that there would be a grassland army to attack.

"It shouldn't be likely, but all the soldiers know that it is a felony to ring the alarm bell without reason, and they can't ring the alarm bell even if they are bored."

Cao Tao, the brigade commander of the Yaowu Army who stayed behind, frowned at this time and stopped everyone's discussion.

Originally, Cao Tao was ignored by Zheng Yu because of his unclear position.

Therefore, when Zheng Yu and others were about to make a move on Zongzheng Temple, he did not take Cao Tao with him, and he ordered Cao Tao to stay at the Yaowu Army station.

Cao Tao actually has some complaints about this, but after recalling that his top boss Zhang Ben was killed, he also completely hid his resentment.

"In that case, there must be something wrong with the North City Gate!"

An older Yaowu Army veteran frowned and said.

"Everyone obey my orders and get ready to go!"

Since he didn't know what was going on in Beicheng, Cao Tao decided to take everyone to take a look.

At this time, when he thought about Zheng Yu, they must have already gone to the North City Gate, if he didn't come over at this time, and when they came back, he would probably use the topic to disobey the military order and kill himself because of this matter.

And the same thing happened in the city guard camp not far from the Yaowu army's station.

Yin Li, the brigade who stayed in the city guard camp, also gathered people to rush towards the north city gate as soon as he heard the alarm bell.

In addition to the Yaowu army and the city guard camp in the city, a large number of people rushed to the north city after hearing the alarm bell.

And these people want to join in the fun.

Soon Cao Tao and Yin Li rushed to the north gate with their respective men.

The first time they saw that the North Gate was closed, they realized that something was serious.

"Could it be that the grass army has beaten the mud legs?"

Cao Tao couldn't help frowning when he heard the noise outside the city gate.

"I heard before that the grass army will only use all kinds of tactics to attack the county and county towns in various places, and I have never heard that they will choose to attack!"

The veteran of the Yaowu Army shook his head and denied.

"In that case, let's go up to the city and see."

Since it is impossible to deduce the identity of the enemy outside the city for the time being, it is simply necessary to go directly to the city to take a look.

But when they first set foot on the top of the city, they saw that there were arrows everywhere on the top of the city.

Seeing this dense array of arrows, Cao Tao couldn't help but stand on end.

Immediately, he saw that all the comrades who had been in charge of guarding the city were huddled behind the battlements of the city wall, trembling.

And when these people saw Cao Tao, their frightened faces immediately showed a hint of surprise.

But just as Cao Tao and the others were about to step forward to inquire about the specific situation, the commander of the Yaowu Army, who was in charge of garrisoning the northern city, immediately shouted loudly.

"Brother Cao, don't step forward, there are all grassland barbarians outside, and once you come forward, they will immediately cover it with a rain of arrows."

Cao Tao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then frowned, and stared at the Yaowu army commander with suspicion.

"Dou Ju, what are you talking nonsense? How could there be a grassland army here in Jinling City? ”

Cao Tao couldn't help but scold angrily after hearing the words of the Yaowu army commander.

"Brother Cao, what I said is true, there are at least tens of thousands of grassland barbarians outside!"

The commander of the Yaowu army, known as Dou Ju, almost didn't cry urgently.

"What you said is true?"

Cao Tao saw Dou Ju's face that wanted to cry without tears, and his hairs stood on end.

"What the hell is going on up there? Why is it stuck here? ”

Just when Cao Tao was frightened by what Dou Ju said, Yin Li, the commander of the city guard battalion who arrived later, looked at the Yaowu soldiers who were standing motionless on the stairs in confusion.

Cao Tao was brought back to his senses by Yin Li's shout.

"Everyone immediately fell to the ground and slowly crawled to the edge of the wall."

Immediately, Cao Tao took the lead and lay on the ground, and then soon crawled forward to the edge of the city wall.

Then he slowly poked his head out, and sure enough, he saw that the outside of the city wall was densely packed, and all of them were steppe cavalry.

But just when he wanted to continue to observe carefully, Dou Ju beside him pulled him back behind the battlement.

And just as his head was hidden behind the battlement, an arrow whistled past the tip of his nose.

"Brother Cao, these guys are all genuine grassland cavalry, their archery skills are much stronger than our Dayu people, we must pay attention, otherwise we will be shot by their arrows if we are not careful."

Dou Ju immediately admonished Cao Tao.

Just after all the Yaowu troops climbed to the edge of the city wall safely, Yin Li climbed to the city wall in a hurry.

"What's going on outside Cao Tao?"

Yin Li asked as he walked.

"Squat down!"

Before Yin Li could take a few steps, he felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and then he felt that he had been hit hard by something, and then he fell to the ground.

"Could it be that the Yaowu Army is preparing to ambush us?"

At this time, Yin Li only had this one thought left in his mind.

And when he fell heavily to the ground, he realized that it was a person who had knocked him down.

"What the fuck are you trying to do?"

Yin Li immediately pushed the person who fell down directly away with both hands.

And his push made Dou Ju, who was lying on him, grit his teeth.

Yin Li couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

When he looked closely, he found that Dou Ju had an arrow stuck in his shoulder at this time.

The two men who followed him were also shot by arrows.

But neither of them was shot to the point.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Yin Li had already understood at this time, and it was Dou Ju who saved him just now, otherwise these arrows would probably shoot themselves out of the hornet's nest.

"There are now tens of thousands of steppe cavalry outside, and they have surrounded the north city gate."

Dou Ju endured the pain and broke the shaft of the arrow, and then slowly climbed to the edge of the wall.

"Tens of thousands of steppe cavalry?"

Yin Li looked at Dou Ju with a suspicious expression.

"My brother surnamed Yin has been shot with an arrow to save you, and you still suspect him?"

Cao Tao saw that Yin Li was still suspicious, and he couldn't help but say angrily.

"I don't doubt this brother's words, it's just that I can't believe that the grassland army will come south thousands of miles to besiege my Jinling City!"

Yin Li immediately said with a guilty face.

"I don't believe it either, but the facts are right in front of you, no, you can crawl over and see for yourself."

Cao Tao said with a displeased face.

Immediately, Yin Li immediately climbed to the wall, and then quickly probed to observe.

After confirming Cao Tao and Dou Ju's statement, Yin Li couldn't help but feel that his back molars began to ache faintly.

"What the fuck is going on? How could there be so many steppe cavalry outside our Jinling City? ”

"We don't know what is going on now, but now we don't need to figure out why these steppe barbarians are outside the city, and the only thing we have to think about now is how to resist the attack of these steppe barbarians."

Dou Ju gritted his teeth at this time and tightened his wound with a piece of gauze to prevent blood from coming out.

"I just saw that those steppe barbarians don't have siege equipment, and if they want to attack the city, they can only use their swords to cut open the city gates, so it will take a lot of time, and such a long time is enough for our main force to rush over."

Yin Li used to be a veteran who had been on the battlefield, and he gave his opinion after a little thought.
