Chapter 453 Desperate, Guard

On the towering city walls of Wucheng,

Wu Jing was dressed in thin armor and held an ash spear in his hand.

At this moment, the appearance of a group of rear golden iron horsemen broke the calm of the night.

The torches on the city wall flickered and dimmed, and more than 100 elite horsemen could be faintly seen, charging in the direction of the city gate.

Wu Jing looked at this Houjin Iron Horseman, and a rare flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The deputy commander was stunned and muttered:

"Aren't these Houjin people crazy?"

"What is the difference between them charging like this and sending them to their deaths?"

Hearing this, Wu Jing's brows furrowed, and she became more and more profound.

Although the Houjin people are brave, they are definitely not a group of crazy people.

They must have done so for some other reason!

Wu Jing frowned, she faintly sensed that this was wrong, but for a while, she didn't have any ideas.

"Pass the order, let the soldiers guard the gates, and be sure to keep the enemy out of the gates!"

"Archers prepare, since it is a big gift from the Houjin people, how can we not accept it!"

On the city wall, the archers were ready to attack, staring at the Houjin cavalry from far and near, secretly estimating the distance in their hearts.

As for the remaining scouts in the scout camp, they were gathered by the scout camp commander.

The commander of the scout camp was surnamed Sun, eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but there was a bit of cunning and agility in his eyes.

He turned around and glanced deeply in the direction of Wucheng, then turned around and issued an order.

"Everyone listened to the order, now Wucheng can't go back, these damn Houjin people have already set up an ambush. But our mission is not yet complete! ”

Therefore, the Commander decided to continue the mission of the Lord of the Castle. Now, I'll give you a chance, and if you want to quit, you can leave now. The Commander promises that he will not settle accounts after the fall. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several scouts had a few more different colors.

They looked at each other, then arched their hands in the direction of the Commander:

"Lord Commander, the mountains and rivers have met, we will meet later!"

"Lord Commander, I am not grateful for my great kindness, and we will remember this kindness today."

Commander Sun bowed slightly, and immediately pointed in a direction by the moonlight.

"Others, keep up!"

……

Commander Sun grew up in Wucheng, so he was extremely familiar with the surrounding situation.

After ascending to a commanding height, he looked in the direction of Martial City, and then looked around.

If I am the general of Houjin, with only tens of thousands of people in my hands, how can I dare to attack Wucheng, which is armed to the teeth?

No, there must be something strange about this.

Could it be that Houjin is there, and reinforcements are coming?

Commander Sun frowned, and then shook his head secretly.

He himself is the commander of the scout battalion, and he has a lot more information in his hands than ordinary people.

If there were really a large number of reinforcements coming over from Houjin's side, it would be absolutely impossible for them to escape the detection of Wucheng scouts.

But in this case, why did this Houjin general attack Wucheng?

Could it be ...... Does he still have an internal response in Wucheng?

Thinking of this, a dense layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Commander Sun's back.

If there is really an internal response in the martial city, and take advantage of the night to open the city gate.

With mental calculation or unintentional, Wucheng may really be breached!

At this moment, Commander Sun even considered sending his guess back at all costs.

But soon, he smiled self-deprecatingly again.

What he could think of, how could the lord of the castle not think of it?

In fact, as early as the reign of the previous city lord, it had already been discovered that the city gate was the weak point of the martial city.

Therefore, he set up a three-person management mechanism for the city gate, and only when the three captains who manage the city gate take out the key at the same time, the city gate can be opened.

Thinking of this, Commander Sun's hanging heart was slightly lowered, but after a while, he frowned again.

Because if everything is really foolproof, then why did Houjin, the general, attack Wucheng?

Commander Sun couldn't figure out this problem, he didn't know at the moment, Wu Jing, who was on the city wall dozens of miles away, was also thinking about this problem.

Commander Sun was silent for a moment, and looked at Wucheng from afar again. Only this time, his gaze became firm and determined.

Unlike these soldiers under his command, he was a native of Wucheng, and his wife and children were all in the city.

In this city, there is his closest family.

Therefore, even if he fights to the death, he has to protect this city!

As the so-called goose has left a voice, as long as the Houjin people have an arrangement, they will definitely leave traces.

It was with this mentality in mind that Commander Sun once again observed the surrounding terrain.

If I were a general of Houjin, I would definitely make siege equipment if I wanted to attack the city.

Wucheng is thirty miles in circumference, and the terrain is extremely complex. There are only two or three places where large instruments can be hidden.

If they really had the idea of attacking the city, they would definitely not be able to escape these places.

Thinking of this, Commander Sun's gaze gradually became firm.

Fang just probed all the way, and he had already checked one place. No trace was found.

Therefore, there are two places where large instruments can be hidden.

One in the east and one in the west.

What's next?

Commander Sun closed his eyes tightly and constructed the terrain of the entire martial city in his mind.

But at this moment, there was a sound of breaking the air in his ears!

It's an enemy attack!

His eyes widened suddenly, and his body almost subconsciously made a dodge movement.

Unlike Li Daniu, as a martial artist, Commander Sun's own reaction was obviously more than a notch faster.

In his eyes, the speed of that feathered arrow was not very fast. But in the next second, he found that behind this feather arrow, there was a team of hundreds of people.

"Everyone, break out to the west!"

Commander Sun gave an order, and almost at the same time, he turned over and got on his horse.

The terrain to the east is obviously unsearchable. Because Houjin's pursuers happened to be on the road they had to pass.

After leaving a few corpses behind again, Sun led his group, and there were less than thirty people left.

After escaping to safety, Commander Sun slowed down and took a deep look behind him.

The next moment, this man, who never shed tears, had red eyes and the corners of his eyes were already moist.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.

After the personnel were gathered, he said in a deep voice:

"You have seen the situation just now. The Houjin people are chasing after each other, and we want to escape, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

"Wucheng can't go back, all we can do is to move on!"

"Find the location of the Houjin siege equipment, and then pass the information back desperately. Only in this way can we give full play to the final value. And...... It can also protect the relatives in the city. ”

"My family is in the city, what about you?"

As soon as these words came out, those men who were originally strong and brave turned red at this moment.

"Commander, even if we wait to the death, we will never let the Houjin people attack the city!"

"Because...... Our family is also in the city. ”
