Chapter 227: The Gap
The sky was still extremely dark, and the beacon fire behind Mei Youqian and them was like a life-saving talisman.
This made their team dare not stop for a moment on the way back, and the feeling of being out of breath was really uncomfortable.
"Hurry, hurry, we'll be in town right away!"
The firelight on the city wall not far away had already fallen into everyone's eyes, and Mei Youqian and Mei Youcai couldn't help but grin.
"As long as you enter the city, you will be safe~"
The old man also breathed a sigh of relief, beckoning everyone to speed up.
Everyone didn't dare to slow down, and rushed to Yueliao City with a sigh of relief, but everyone's mood was indeed much better than just now.
Finally, when they arrived at the bottom of the city, the sound of the dungeon slowly opening of the heavy city gate fell on everyone's ears, and it was like fairy music.
Several squads gathered at the gates of the city and went into the city.
Mei Youqian and Mei Youcai also mixed in the crowd and poured inside.
"This door is too small, can't it be bigger?"
Some people are also very anxious when they are left behind, Mei Youqian listened to the complaints behind him, he was already tired, and he couldn't say everything.
A voice came from another place behind him: "Hey, what are you doing so cautiously?" Just open this fart big slit, and you can still be afraid of behind us...... Belch! โ
After the man's last strange interruption, a scream suddenly rang out from the crowd:
"Ahhh
With this scream, the entire team entering the city was in chaos, and Mei Youqian subconsciously didn't look back, didn't care about what was going on behind him, grabbed Mei Youcai's arm on the side and squeezed it hard.
In the midst of the chaos of the crowd, they were the first to squeeze into the door.
It was at this time that someone behind them was heard shouting, "Here comes the Tartars!" โใ
When Mei Youqian heard the sound and turned around, he saw a frightened pale face in the crowd moving with the crowd, looking downward, and the man was sticking a sharp arrow in his chest.
The faces of the others were covered with horror, and sharp arrows with the sound of breaking wind flew from the darkness behind them!
"Be careful!"
Mei Youqian and Mei Youcai turned around and hid behind the city gate.
At the same time, the faces of the soldiers who opened the doors beside them changed.
No matter how many people were outside the city, they immediately closed the city gates!
"Damn, why are you doing this!?" While Mei Youqian was taken aback by the change outside the city, he was also angry by the soldier's operation, and shouted, "You don't see anyone outside!" โ
"You didn't hear the Tartars coming!"
The soldiers who completely closed the city gate heard Mei Youqian's questioning, and their pale faces suddenly brought a little anger, and they pushed down Mei Youqian, "Don't be nosy!" Why don't you go up to the castle tower to fight? โ
"What?"
Mei Youcai hurriedly helped Mei Youqian on the side, they had just escaped death, and before they could leave, they were directly caught up by the city defense army at the north gate to participate in the battle?
The rest of the militia were also panicked, and they didn't know what was going on and were driven to the city.
When they went up to the city wall, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw that the group of Tartar iron horsemen outside the city was very close!
Where the hell did these Tartars come from?!

โ๏ผโ
Frightened that she didn't hold the hot water in her hand, Meiberry suddenly stood up from her chair, startling everyone.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Meili and the others also looked at Mei Berry, and Mei Berry's face became more and more pale.
She had just opened the electronic map, only to find a group of black-pressed teams rushing towards them from the northeast of Yanping Pass!
"Ah...... IโI'm worried about my father. โ
Berry's eyelashes trembled with fear, and she took a deep breath to try to regain her composure, and her gaze fell on the direction of the blackened team on the map.
The undulating pass actually broke a hole, and the scattered flames around the ruins were still burning.
[System?! What's going on with this pass?! If it weren't for the fact that this is ancient, the other party is still some steppe tartar, [this is not some black powder, right?] ใ
[Host, you got it right, this is indeed black powder.] ใ
[Where did it come from?!] ใ
[Someone else gave it.] ใ
Plum berries: ???
Can you be a little more perfunctory with this answer!?
"I'll go out and sober up."
Plum berries are afraid that if they stay in the house for another second, they can't help but leak the filling.
Look at the fish belly in the east, the white sky has been stained with a thin layer of black smoke, and the plum berries are directly from the wall in the courtyard and stand on the roof.
Her eyes widened, and she looked around, and all sides of the city were already lit with beacon fires.
As in the map, their Yueliao County is besieged at the moment.
Plum Berry remembered that last night her father had told her about the location of their patrol last night, and Plum Berry narrowed her target to the north gate, trying to find her father and third uncle, but suddenly, she heard the neighing of a horse below.
"Youyou! Come back! โ
"Youyou!"
Mei Berry saw Xue Lao Miao and they rushed out of the yard.
Following their anxious gaze, Mei Berry saw that Mei You had already rushed to her yard, holding a long knife in one hand, and galloped towards the north with a prancing horse whip!
Mei You has been waiting too long, and she is sure that this time the matter is serious!
She couldn't wait any longer.
Her father might not have survived if he had joined the battlefield.
"Berry Treasure!"
Wei Meili and Miao rushed out, and while they wanted to call Mei You, she found that her daughter was not there, and Wei Meili, who was suddenly nervous, also shouted.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard Wei Meimei's shout, Mei Berry had already jumped on the roof of her house next door, and finally learned Mei You to ride away.
"Mother! You can rest assured! I'll watch my sister! โ
Mei Berry hinted at what Wei Meili was going to do, so she followed Mei You's direction on horseback.
Yes, even if her electronic map is maximized, her face is still blurry.
She needs the aura of the heroine, and she can keep up with her successful check-in to avoid accidents with her relatives!
Plum Berry nervously grasped the saddle and the long knife on her waist, and her eyes changed as she approached the north of the city.
ยท
Even if the number of troops in Yueliao City is added to all the militia, and the number of Tartars outside the city is almost there.
Fortunately, they had blocked the heaviest attack last night, and by now the Tartars had begun to scatter and find the gates of the city in an attempt to enter in a different direction.
This wasn't good news, but it did ease the pressure on the defenders of the North City.
It's just that the pressure here is still not small, and they have already killed a lot of people.
From the very beginning, the two brothers Mei Youqian and Mei Youcai, along with several other militiamen, under the guidance of a certain defender, constantly threw trebuchets out of the city.
The oil-coated stones worked well, but the cobblestones that kept being thrown were running out.
At the moment, it is not known how many attacks these Tartars have attacked.
Mei Youqian looked up and saw a soldier with a spear in his hand stabbing a tartar who had just climbed up the city.
Immediately afterwards, the Tartar, who had obviously been stabbed to the heart, jumped up violently before he died, grabbed his spear and threw forward, holding the soldier he had just stabbed and falling headfirst to the wall!
Mei Youqian and the others were taken aback, and soon, a Tartar jumped up again at this gap.
This Tartar is super good, and the defenders on the side attacked him directly when they saw this, but they were directly slashed by the opponent with a scimitar on the neck and head.
For a while, blood and human heads flew everywhere, and that one person still solved a piece of soldiers.
"It's not good, get back!"
Seeing this, Mei Youqian was frightened.
The city-head defenses near them have been breached!
He shouted for the militia around him to retreat, and on the other hand, he turned to the defenders of the city not far away.
It's just that in the face of several times the number of enemies he has, there are really no people around who can support him.
Just as he was shouting, several more Tartars came up here, looking at them as the group of militiamen, their eyes full of malice......
