Chapter 67: The Siege

Everyone had a heated discussion in the lobby of the inn all night, about the dispatch of the city defense, about pacifying the residents of the city, until it was almost dawn, because they were too tired, they each closed their eyes in their chairs for a while, and rested a little.

After all, tomorrow morning, they will face thousands of troops and fierce battles.

The sky had just appeared white, and everyone was woken up by a burst of noise. If you look closely, it seems to be the sound of rumbling war drums coming from outside the city, and the shouts of the soldiers in the army shouting in unison.

It's Song Hu's army, and it's finally here!

Ye Feng only felt a violent beating in his chest, and when he raised his eyes, Su Wang Zhu had already stood up. His expression was very calm, not flustered at all, he first straightened his clothes, and then walked steadily towards the door of the inn.

Ye Feng felt admiration in his heart, in the face of such a moment, he couldn't help but feel his heart palpitating, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, but His Royal Highness King Su behaved so calmly and calmly, he really deserved to be the son of Emperor Taizu and the blood of the royal family.

Behind King Su Zhu, the prison army Ma Jing also stood up, nodded at Ye Feng with a calm expression, and followed Queen Su to face outside.

And Mr. Arakitsuki on the side also smiled, reached out and patted Ye Feng's shoulder, turned around and followed with his hands behind his back.

Watching them stride out of the inn, the words "seeing death as home" suddenly flashed in Ye Feng's mind, this time he will definitely face a fierce battle, I really don't know if anyone can return here in the end.

He had never really understood the meaning of those four words, but now, he seemed to understand a little.

He felt a little ashamed in his heart, for the nervousness of that moment just now, to be precise, in fact, at that moment, he was afraid.

In the face of life and death, it is actually difficult not to feel nervous and scared as a person, but these people in front of Ye Feng made Ye Feng feel a kind of strength and courage gushing out from the bottom of his heart!

He Huo Ran pushed away the chair and stood up, and when he looked up, he saw Cheng Nian really leaning against the door of the guest room, looking at him from a distance with a little resentment and a little worry.

Ye Feng doesn't like to say goodbye, especially the kind of life and death that is full of sorrow. He couldn't remember which book he had read about it, and the weeping of life and death would most wear down and shake the courage and determination of the warriors.

So he didn't say goodbye, just smiled at Cheng Nianzhen, nodded firmly, turned around and walked out with resolute steps.

The moment he turned around, he was thinking in his mind, he really couldn't remember which book it was, if only Zhang Fatzi was there, he was so well-read, he would definitely be able to remember which book it was recorded.

When he came to the door of the inn, Ye Feng couldn't help but be stunned, he saw Xiao Sanji standing at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a deep light shining in his eyes.

In normal times, it would be ridiculous for a **-year-old child to make such an old-fashioned appearance, but now, Ye Feng can't laugh at all.

By the way, isn't little Sanji a reincarnated spirit boy who claims to be a living Buddha? Why don't you ask him how his trip was?

Without waiting for Ye Feng to speak, Xiao Sanji smiled at him as if he was an unpredictable prophet, and said: "Go, don't worry, there is your own road before the car reaches the mountain, remember, never give up hope!"

Even this is said in such an old-fashioned manner, and it also makes people feel unfathomable, Ye Feng smiled at him a little helplessly, raised his head and took a step to catch up with Su Wang Zhu and his party in front.

It's just that he doesn't know why, he no longer feels nervous in his heart now, and he is no longer afraid.

Walking through the streets of Lanzhou City, the streets were already full of curious people who had heard the drums of war and shouted to kill and walked out of their homes to find out.

Su Wang Zhu calmly walked from him

From their eyes, Ye Feng saw that they were not flustered, with His Royal Highness King Su here, they had the backbone of the backbone, and they had confidence.

Ye Feng began to understand at this time why Su Wang Zhu would rather go out of the city and surrender himself in order to save these people from the scourge of swords. With people who trust you in this way, no matter what sacrifice you make, it is worth it.

And when they came to the city gate, they still found that there was a commotion in front of them.

A group of well-informed people, apparently already aware of the heavy siege and the news of the impending siege, helped the old and the young, with large and small luggage, gathered at the city gate, demanding that the city gate be opened and let them escape from the city.

How could the sergeants guarding the city gate dare to open the city gate privately without receiving a military order? Moreover, outside the city is a battlefield with thousands of troops and horses, and leaving the city at this time is tantamount to sending them to death, so they are naturally resolutely blocked.

As a result, there was a lot of noise between the people and the soldiers who wanted to flee out of the city, and there was a lot of noise and pushing, and the front of the city gate suddenly became chaotic.

Su Wang Zhu frowned, he couldn't care about appeasing these people who were full of fear at this time. He led everyone to bypass the chaotic crowd and directly ascended to the tower of Lanzhou City.

Standing on top of the city tower and looking down, everyone suddenly felt their breath tight.

On an open ground in front of the city wall of Lanzhou, there is a square military formation formed by five or six soldiers neatly in a neat forest, and I don't know how many people and horses are pressed by the black pressure at a glance, the bright blades in the hands of these soldiers, and the golden armor on their bodies, reflecting the rising sun, reflecting the dazzling light.

The rumbling war drums and the roaring shouts of the soldiers in unison came one after another, full of murderous aura, which made people shudder when they heard it.

Seeing the murderous and invincible military array in front of him, Ye Feng finally truly realized the poem "Yanmen Too Guarded" by Li He in the Tang Dynasty that he had read before:

Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it,

The light of the armor opens to the sun.

The sound of the horn is full of autumn colors,

Stuffed with swallow fat and night purple.

It turned out that the real military formation, the real battlefield, was so murderous that it made people feel frightened.

Su Wang Zhu exhaled a long breath, suppressed his beating heart, and asked the city guard standing beside him in a soft tone: "How are you preparing?"

The general bowed and replied: "Back to Your Highness, after a night of preparation, now the city is full of rolling stones and trees, bows, arrows and spears, and all the soldiers have gone to the city to guard, but ......"

When he said this, his lowered head couldn't help but glance at the mighty military array outside the city.

His meaning was obvious, no matter how well they prepared, in the face of this group of tiger and wolf troops with absolute superiority outside the city, I am afraid they would not be able to hold on for long.

Su Wang Zhu sighed, do your best, peace with the destiny of heaven! I hope that the reinforcements can arrive sooner and can protect the people of this city.

At this moment, the gate below the city tower suddenly became chaotic.

Everyone leaned down from the city tower and saw that the soldiers who were originally guarding the city gate were suddenly knocked to the ground, and the refugees who wanted to leave the city all poured into the urn city outside the inner gate.

Immediately after that, someone opened the gate outside the urn city, and these refugees immediately poured out of the city gate like a flood that opened the floodgates, and ran straight out of the city.

Seeing this, Su Wang Zhu was in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered the generals around him to rush with a team of officers and soldiers to control the city gate and stop the refugees from leaving the city.

Ye Feng's eyes were sharp, he had already seen clearly at this time that those who subdued the soldiers guarding the city gate and those who opened the city gate were extraordinary in skill and strong in martial arts, and they were obviously not ordinary refugees. Moreover, they are all slab heads, and the monk's clothes are faintly exposed in their clothes.

It's those evil lamas!

Ye Feng's heart suddenly froze, it seemed that these evil lamas wanted to create chaos, so that they could escape from the city among the refugees and take refuge.

He remembered the old lama with long eyebrows, and these officers and soldiers were no match for him.

Ye Feng was about to turn his head and ask Mr. Arazuki beside him to make a move, but at this time, the situation at the city gate changed again.

I saw a cyan figure like a big bird, rushing from the city to the city gate. The lamas guarding the city gate still wanted to stop them, but the cyan figure swept by, and these lamas suddenly fell to the ground.

When Ye Feng saw this cyan figure, he only felt his heart bloom, and he almost shouted out with joy, Tang Da, it's Tang Da who is here!

When Tang Da came to the city gate, he subdued the lamas with a gesture, and immediately forced back the refugees who flocked to the city gate, and closed the city gate again as soon as he turned around.

A team of officers and soldiers led by the commander who defended the city also arrived in time, and they drove all these refugees out of the urn city and re-guarded the city gate.

The people on the city tower were relieved, but in the chaos just now, there were still more than 100 refugees pouring out of Lanzhou City.

Ma Jing looked at these refugees under the city, and asked Su Wang Zhu anxiously: "What should they do?"

Su Wang Zhu closed his eyes and shook his head, and sighed: "There is no way, I just hope that Song Hu can let them go for the sake of them as unarmed ordinary people." ”

Ma Jing lowered his head and was silent, there was really nothing they could do now, they could only ask for more blessings.

These refugees under the city had nowhere to go in the face of the military formation outside the city, so they could only stumble towards the opposite military formation, raising their hands and shouting: "We are ordinary people fleeing, we are not soldiers!"

At this time, the military array in the center of the opposite side suddenly moved, and as soon as the army opened, a person riding a high-headed horse came out of the crowd, with a brocade robe and golden armor, it was Song Hu, the little marquis of Xining!

Song Hu looked coldly at the group of refugees who were running over, and suddenly raised his hand, and the lieutenant general behind him waved the flag quickly, and the two military formations on the left and right suddenly moved quickly to the middle, and the formation changed, and all the refugees were immediately surrounded in it.

In front of the bright spear blades, the unarmed refugees fell to their knees, begging for mercy and crying.

Song Hu's hand was still raised, his eyes looked at the high Lanzhou City Tower opposite, and there was a cruel sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Su Wang Zhu stood on top of the city tower, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but be shocked, and asked repeatedly: "They are just ordinary people, what does Song Hu want to do, what does he want to do?"

Everyone stared at the situation under the city, and their hearts all rose to their throats.

Finally, with that cruel smile, Song Hu's hand suddenly dropped, and the command flag held by the deputy general behind him also fell.

On the tower of the city, Su Wang Zhu held the city wall with his hands and shouted hoarsely with a crying voice: "Don't, don't! They are just the people!"

It's a pity that his voice can't reach that far.

As the order flag fell, the sergeants surrounding the refugees, in the earth-shattering chorus of shouts and killings, the long spears and short knives in their hands beckoned towards the group of innocent people surrounded in the middle.

One by one, the refugees fell like harvested rice fields, blood splattered, stumps flew everywhere, and desperate cries and cries filled everywhere, it was like a hell on earth!

Song Hu rode on a tall horse, coldly watching the massacre in front of him, with that cruel smile on his face.

His smile was still on his face, and among the fallen refugees, he suddenly let out a roar, and a figure flew up and jumped up, and actually pounced on the little marquis Song Hu!
