The sound was faint at first, but for a moment suddenly there was a loud sound of horses' hooves. I was taken aback, stood up abruptly, grasped the hilt of my waist knife with my right hand, and looked over, and in the distance in the dark blue night, I saw a large black shadow rushing towards us like an angry wave.

Who is coming? I was shocked, and I tried to see what was ahead, but it was night, and we were all sitting around the campfire, and we couldn't see it clearly in the distance, where could I see who it was? I could only hear the voice, but it was like a thousand horses.

This scene was sudden and loud, and the originally lively camping place suddenly fell silent, and almost everyone stood still. Jiang Shun rushed to my side and said in a deep voice: "Brother Gu, the situation seems to be a little wrong, it seems that the people of the Tubo tribe are coming!"

At this time, Baili Tu also stepped forward and continued: "This is the border pass, what are these natives doing here?"

He said this as if he didn't say it. There were often wars between the Great Song Dynasty and the Tibetan border passes, and if it was really the Tibetan tribal army that came from the front, it would have come to attack the city of Minzhou! I thought of this almost immediately, but my heart was immediately shocked. If this group of people and horses is really from the tribe of Tibet, they should not appear at the border pass, and the leaders of all parties should relieve internal worries as the first priority, how can they come to provoke external troubles at such a time?

I was thinking about it quickly, but the sound of the rush didn't allow me to say much, it was already very big. But at that moment, a trumpet sounded in the city behind us. The sound of the trumpet resounded through the heavens and the earth, reaching into the sky, and before the trumpet sounded, a man shouted loudly at the head of the city: "The enemy is coming, prepare to meet it!"

As soon as the man spoke, there was a loud bang, and hundreds of arrows with fire seemed to erupt, and they had risen violently from the top of the city, shooting rapidly in front of us.

The border passes of the Great Song Dynasty are all guarded by the forbidden army of the imperial court, the iron cavalry is fierce, well-trained, hundreds of rockets are shot at the same time, but the sound is not at all confused, like a sound. Clusters of rockets flew into the night sky, lighting up the entire sky at once.

Because of the firelight, I was finally able to see ahead. But less than two miles ahead, more than 100 huge mandrills were rushing towards us as if they were crazy, and in the flying dust, behind them were a large number of tribal natives on horseback, who were also rushing rapidly, and they couldn't see how many people there were, only a lot of gold and iron cold light, under the reflection of rockets in mid-air, hidden in the rolling dust.

As soon as the rocket was fired, the dozens of mandrills running in front finally stopped being silent, let out bursts of roars, and beat their chests, but they rushed even more fiercely. At this time, hundreds of rockets that rushed in the air also fell, and in the blink of an eye, they were all shot in that group of shadows and beasts, this burst of rockets was unusually dense, several mandrills were pierced through the head by rockets, and immediately fell down, some of them were full of arrows, and rolled a few times on the ground, but the momentum did not decrease at all, they got up and rushed again, and the people of the many tribes who followed behind them were also affected, and a group of people who were fired by the rockets turned over on their backs.

But even so, they did not have any stagnation at all, a round of rockets was fired, and immediately, a monstrous killing cry was heard from their ranks, and the momentum was even better than just now, and even the earth trembled violently.

It wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that my heart sank completely, and just looking at the vanguard team, there were no less than 3,000 people who came, and I was afraid that there would be more people in the dust raised behind!

The incident happened suddenly, and the outside of the city gate was like an explosion, and there was a noise everywhere, and the brothers in the dart board let out a burst of exclamation, and the many mercenaries who camped at the foot of the mountain with us did not change their color, and in panic, they did not care about any salute, and ran towards the city gate with a shout.

I couldn't help but feel anxious. This is a border pass, not a place for martial arts to compete for power, I know that this group of Tubo army dares to attack, there is no reason at all, it is to kill people when they see them, with my current martial arts, I am not afraid, and Baili Tu and He Yun and several of their dart masters have the ability to protect themselves, but I am afraid that the ordinary brothers in this group of dart games are going to suffer, although they have been suffering with me for more than a year, but most of them are people with low martial arts, in the face of such a formation of thousands of troops and horses, if you don't flee at this time, where can you still live? I didn't have time to think about it, but when I saw these mercenaries running towards the city gate, I also shouted and waved my hand: "Quick, run in the direction of the city gate!"

I thought that tonight was a peaceful night, I never imagined that this kind of thing would happen, I have experienced a lot of tragic and vicious battles on the rivers and lakes, but it is the first time I have encountered such a border war, and I really don't know the sinister one. However, what is this Tibetan army, and where did it come from?

While leading the hundred miles of disciples towards the city gate, I turned my head to look behind, this sudden Tibetan army charge was too fast, only when we rushed to the city gate, they had already rushed behind us, a mile away from us, it was as fast as lightning. The displaced people from the Western Regions who were originally gathered at the foot of the mountain in the south were also hurrying towards the city gate, but most of us were people who practiced martial arts, and the speed of running was much faster than them, and their number was also more than ours, and they were lagging behind, and most of the people in the crowd were old and weak, women and children. It's strange that when their Tibetan military horses attacked, these Tibetan refugees would be afraid of being like this.

I can't take a closer look, we were not far from the city gate, and a group of mercenaries ran fast and reached the city wall first, and before we reached the city gate, a man in a brown vest had raised his head and hurriedly shouted: "Open the city gate!

This person was probably in a hurry, and he didn't seem to pick up his breath, and he screamed a little panicked. Before the man's words fell, two huge crossbows on the head of the city immediately turned their arrows and aimed at them, and two black-armored soldiers stretched out their heads to look, and one shouted: "Who are you!"

Seeing that the giant bow and crossbow at the head of the city were aimed at him, the vest man and his party stood up, and the man shouted: "We are from the Central Plains, the official quickly opened the city gate and let me wait to enter the city, the army of Tubo is coming!"

The black-armored soldier in the city said: "Don't I have long eyes, and I still need you to point it out? The city gate is closed, and no one can wait to enter the city, so you must leave quickly, and you must not get even half a step closer to the city, otherwise you will delay the military and will be killed!"

At this time, we had already rushed to the city gate, and when I heard the words of the black-armored soldier, I chuckled in my heart, and it seemed that I had stepped on the air under my feet, and almost fell down. Let's leave quickly, but there are cliffs more than a thousand feet high on both sides of Minzhou City, and the back road has been blocked by that group of Tibetan troops, where can we go? The only way out is this Dao City Gate. But when the soldier had said this, he had no intention of opening the gates.

Seeing that the group of military horses is getting closer and closer, if we open the city gate now, we can still avoid this border battle, and if it is later, I am afraid that even the soldiers above will not be able to open the city gate if they want to. Anger rose in my heart, and the man in the brown vest was also very angry, and said loudly: "Do you know who we are? We are the guys sent by Lord Cao to receive medicinal herbs, if you dare not open the city gate, if you anger Lord Cao......

Probably this person was also in a hurry, and he actually moved out of characters such as "Lord Cao" at this time, and he didn't know who Lord Cao was talking about, but when he moved out at this time, this person's identity must also be noble.

Clinker, before the man finished speaking, suddenly a sound of breaking the sky came from the city, the soil on the ground exploded, and an arrow nailed to the man's feet with a "poof", the feather end trembled, the man was startled, and the accompanying few people took a step back at the same time, raised his head and said: "What do you mean!"

The black-armored soldier in the city snorted coldly: "The border city is important, the enemy army has already attacked, if the city gate is opened, Minzhou City will definitely be lost, how can you say that you can open it? This arrow is intended to warn, if you talk nonsense, the next arrow will definitely shoot your head out of a bloody hole! Leave quickly!"

When this man said this, his face was already full of expression, and it seemed that they were really determined not to open the gates. Despite the anger in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little more abrupt when I heard his words. Minzhou City is the fortress of the northwest border city of the Great Song Dynasty, in the early years, the Tubo army had invaded once, resulting in half of the territory of Minzhou being swallowed, and now only the territory east of Minzhou City still belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, and the city gate is an important position, which is really a big matter. Now there are no less than dozens of mercenaries running to the city together, counting our 100 people, there are more than 700 people blocking the city gate, and the number of displaced people in the Western Regions who are hurriedly squeezing behind us is even more, so many people, once the city gate is opened, it will be swarmed again, I am afraid that the Tubo army will not be able to close it when it hits the city, if this is the case, I am only afraid that Minzhou City will be lost again, and it will be far more than those of us who are outside the city.

These things were only fleeting in my mind, and I knew the severity of them, and I didn't think of them when I ran towards the city gate just now, and now I don't know what it feels like when I think of them. But if the gates of the city are not opened, will we be trapped outside the city?

"Raised by a son of a bitch, you are the guards of the border city, aiming to protect the land and the people, but you will also do such despicable things, if Lao Tzu can survive, he will find you to understand, and Lord Cao will not let you go!"

The man in the vest was still talking, his mouth had turned into a curse, but his voice was not as loud as before, and many mercenaries around him also pointed at the city and cursed angrily, most of them were also angry and threatening. But I know it doesn't work at all.

Jiang Shun didn't know when he had stood by my side, he looked a few times in front of the city, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen through my thoughts: "Brother Gu, it seems that we can't enter this city, so it's better to kill a few natives at the city gate to play, it's faster." ”

At this time, can he still laugh? I couldn't help but be a little angry, and said angrily: "Senior Jiang, when have you been talking about such jokes, the Tubo army is menacing, how can the brothers stop it?"

Jiang Shun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "This city gate can't be opened now, if we wait in front of the city gate, it will be like fish and meat, let others slaughter, it is better to find a small place to hide, with your ability, even if the group of Tubo army is all pressed over, there is nothing to be done." ”

He suddenly said this again, and my heart moved, and I said, "Senior Jiang, have you come up with any tricks to get out?"

"It's not a clever plan, it's just a dog against the wall. He smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, and said: "Look over there, there is an angle between two sides, the crossing is quite narrow, and the fork is blocked by a little stone forest, if you can retreat there and defend the entrance, wouldn't it be better than being surrounded by enemies on three sides here?"

He was referring to the angle between the cliff and the city wall on the north side. The cliff in the north is more than a thousand zhang high, the wall is like a knife, there is still a bright triangle at the junction with the city wall, in front of the corner, there are seventeen or eighteen two-person high stone forests, at this time the fire flickers on the head of the city there, but the city is a little dim below.

That's right, too. Now you can't enter the city, if you retreat there, it may not be a bad way, even if it is not a good place, but it will not be besieged by the Tibetan army on three sides. I said, "Okay, just as my predecessor said." Brother Baili, immediately let all the brothers retreat to the corner of the city over there!"
