Chapter 383: Confusing
It was late at night, and a slight chill pervaded.
The streets and alleys were silent, except for the rustle of hurried footsteps.
Wanyan Xue'er hurried through the night.
The moonlight was like water, and there were faint tears in those clear eyes.
From the night attack of the thieves on the general's mansion to the present, no reinforcements have arrived. The sound of the arrow turned a deaf ear, and the sky-high fire turned a blind eye, which inevitably led to a chill, but had to face the reality.
Brother Wanyan Gu has always been calm and indifferent.
On the tower of the city, a middle-aged general looked at the sky-high firelight, and his eyes were moist.
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps.
He followed the sound, and saw a dark shadow approaching the city gate.
"All the soldiers obey the order!"
"In!"
"Prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
In front of the city gate, the sword and shield soldiers were in front, and the pikemen were behind, forming a battle formation in an instant.
On the tower of the city, nearly 100 archers have wound their arrows and are ready to go.
The middle-aged general pressed the handle of the knife with his hand and looked calm.
The dark shadow came to an abrupt halt a hundred paces away.
Seeing this, the middle-aged general seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly shouted: "Be careful!"
The defenders of the city were stunned, and three figures had already entered the position from the shadow of the city wall.
Three cold lights kept flashing in the crowd, and blood splattered everywhere they passed.
Seeing this situation, the middle-aged general forcibly endured the anger in his heart and looked closely.
The firelight flickered slightly, and it was a man and two women. Among them, there is a woman in green, holding a pine-patterned ancient sword in her hand, and she is heroic.
He hurriedly shouted, "Stand down!"
At the sound of an order, the soldiers defending the city quickly gathered and retreated.
Wanyan Xue'er only felt that this voice sounded very familiar, and hurriedly said, "Wait." ”
Hearing this, Yan Ruyu and Li He did not pursue, and held their swords in front of Wan Yan Xue'er.
Wanyan Xue'er looked up at the city tower and couldn't help but exclaim: "Zhuo Rumu, it's you!"
This middle-aged general, named Zhuo Lumu, once served under Wanyan Honglie's tent and was loyal.
Zhuo Rumu hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Zhuo Rumu, see Miss!"
Wanyan Xue'er glanced at the dozen or so corpses on the ground, and muttered: "The situation is urgent, and I hope that General Zhuolu will forgive him!"
Zhuo Rumu said casually: "The last general will not dare!"
Wanyan Xue'er sighed lightly and said, "Open the city gate quickly." ”
Zhuo Lumu groaned slightly, and said slowly: "Where the responsibility is, I hope that Miss will not be embarrassed!"
Wanyan Xue'er's face changed slightly, and she said coldly: "Do you really want to force me to do it?"
Zhuo Rumu looked as usual, and said with a light smile: "There are five hundred soldiers under the command of the last general, equipped with strong bows and crossbows, if you defend the city tower, I am afraid it will not be easy for the young lady to attack it." Moreover, if the general expected to be true, the young lady must have just experienced a vicious battle, and her strength is no longer enough. In the opinion of the last general, it is better for the young lady to rest here and go out of the city after dawn. ”
Hearing this, Wanyan Xue'er hesitated.
Yan Ruyu whispered in Wanyan Xue'er's ear: "If this person can be trusted, what he said is not unreasonable. ”
The moonlight is like water.
Wanyan Xue'er stared at Zhuo Lumu quietly.
Zhuo Rumu met Wanyan Xue'er's gaze with a calm face.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance.
Brother Wanyan glanced at the inn next to him and said in a deep voice, "Hide in." ”
Without hesitation, the two dead men strode forward and kicked the door open.
The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer.
A moment later, a group of cavalry came into view and came straight to the city gates.
Zhuo Lu Mulang asked loudly, "Who is coming?"
No one responded, only the deafening sound of horses' hooves.
Zhuo Rumu's face changed slightly, and he asked again, "Who is here?"
Still no one responded.
By this time, the cavalry was less than one hundred and twenty paces from the city gate.
Zhuo Rumu's eyes showed a cold light, and he said coldly: "Release the arrow!"
As the words fell, the bowstring rang out, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air rang out.
The next moment, a rain of arrows fell on the ranks of the cavalry.
Someone was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse.
However, the cavalry team remained unstoppable.
Another rain of arrows fell.
Another man was shot by an arrow and fell from his horse.
The cavalry seemed to be fearless to death. By this time they were less than sixty paces from the city gate. The machine spring sounded, and a bolt flew towards the castle tower.
Seeing this situation, Wan Yan Xue'er, Yan Ruyu and Li He exchanged a look with each other, and then flew to the side to watch the changes.
Soon, the defenders of the city formed a battle formation again.
Arrows flew in abundance, each with its own casualties.
In an instant, the cavalry rushed into the position of the defenders, metal collided, blood splattered, and the melee began.
"Miss, I will help you get out of the city!" Before the words fell, a yellow horse came into view. Immediately sat a young general in silver armor.
Wanyan Xue'er followed the prestige and couldn't help but exclaim: "Abuhan Chijin, why are you here?"
This silver-armored young general is named Abuhan Chijin, and he has also served under Wanyan Honglie's account and is brave and good at fighting.
Abuhan Chijin laughed and said, "The last general will take the city tower first!" As he spoke, he flew off his horse and slashed his spear towards the tower.
Wan Yan Xue'er frowned, and for a while it was difficult to tell who was an enemy and who was a friend.
Yan Ruyu seemed to have guessed Yan Xue'er's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "If you have a bad heart, you will definitely show your feet." ”
Li He said lightly: "We just took the opportunity to recover our strength. ”
At this time, the battle in front of the city gate was over, and the defenders of the city were all wiped out.
On the tower of the city, strong bows and crossbows are fired in unison, condescending, and the lethality is extremely great.
In front of the city gate, the cavalry team was not to be outdone, and crossbow arrows were fired in succession, returning a tooth for a tooth.
Abuhan Chijin swung his silver spear, swept and stabbed. Someone fell at his feet, someone flew sideways. The gun is pointing at it, and it is invincible. Before he knew it, he had slain the wall.
Seeing this, Zhuo Rumu couldn't help but gasp. However, he had no choice but to fight. He shouted, picked up his broadsword, and slew at Abuhan Chijin.
"Good time!" Abuhan Chijin greeted him with a spear.
At the same time, dozens of pro-soldiers poured onto the city wall and fought with the defenders.
Not long after, a silver spear pierced Zhuorumu's body.
Zhuo Rumu took one last look at Yan Xue'er, and then fell in a pool of blood.
A moment later, with the sound of chains, the drawbridge was slowly lowered.
Abuhan Chijin stood on the city tower and shouted to Wan Yan Xue'er: "Miss, hurry up and get out of the city!"
"Thank you!" Wan Yan Xue'er clenched her fists slightly, and then waved her hand in the direction of the inn.
Brother Wanyan Gu did not hesitate and led the dead soldiers of the General's Mansion towards the city gate. They protected the wounded, the woman, and the child in the middle, and led the ownerless horses along the way.
At this time, Abuhan Chijin had already walked down the city wall, came to Wanyan Xue'er, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Abuhan Chijin, see Miss!"
"General Abuhan doesn't need to make this big salute!" As she spoke, Wan Yan Xue'er hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Abuhan Chijin only felt a soft internal force pouring in from his arms, his face changed suddenly, and he muttered, "Miss!" Before the words fell, the two long swords were already on his neck.
Seeing this, the cavalry team instantly surrounded the four of them.
Wanyan Xue'er said lightly: "Let them dismount." ”
Abuhan Chijin did not hesitate, and said loudly: "Dismount!"
The cavalry did not dare to disobey the order and dismounted.
Wanyan Xue'er continued: "Let them put down their weapons and take a hundred steps back." ”
Abuhan Chijin said loudly: "Put down your weapon and take a hundred steps back." ”
The cavalry did so.
At this time, Wanyan Guge and his party had come to the city gate. A look, tacitly. He said in a deep voice, "Get on the horse!"
The next moment, the dead soldier of the General's Mansion first helped the wounded, the woman and the child onto the horse, and then turned over on the horse.
Soon, Brother Wanyan Guge led a group of people out of the city gate.
The sword is sheathed.
Wanyan Xue'er bowed her hand to Abuhan Chijin slightly, and muttered: "I have to do it as a last resort, and I hope General Abuhan will not blame it!"
Before the words could be finished, the three of them had already turned on their horses and ran out of the city.
Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Abuhan Chijin hurriedly said: "The last general will not dare!"
The night was quiet, the wind was cold, corpses were strewn all over the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
In a corner of the city wall, two figures stood quietly. A middle-aged Confucian scholar is none other than Wanyan Mingcheng, the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses on the West Road of the Jin Kingdom. A silver-armored young general is Wan Yan Qing, the second son of Wan Yan Mingcheng.
"The boy will take five hundred iron horsemen to catch up, and he will never suffer for his father!" Wan Yanqing bowed down and asked for battle.
Wanyan Mingcheng shook his head with a smile, and said lightly: "Qing'er still think about it, why is it so hard for his father?"
Wan Yanqing was slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought.
