Xiao Yuebai followed the patrolling soldiers to the southern city. Ulcheng City is not big, and even if you go to the southwest city, you can still hear the shouting and killing. The reason why Nan Yaoyang called Xiao Yuebai to come to the South Gate is because the terrain of the South Gate is relatively high, and even if the northern savages want to besiege the city, they will not be able to reach the South Gate for a while.

At this time, the defenders of the southern city had not yet seen the enemy, some soldiers

He also hummed a little song like nothing else and amused the new southerners.

"Don't they all know that the enemy has already attacked?" Xiao Yuebai said to the captain of the patrol soldiers.

"These are veterans, they all survived, and the more critical the moment, the more they are like this, you see those who bow their heads and don't speak. The captain pointed to a group of soldiers gathered around the wall and said:

"Those are the recruits. ”

Xiao Yuebai looked at it and was shocked, and said in a low voice: "So many recruits. According to Captain Fangcai's statement, Xiao Yuebai took a cursory look, except for the people of the "Huntian Sect", seven or eight out of ten of them were soldiers who looked like recruits.

He followed the patrol to the city wall, and found that the soldiers in the city were hiding under the battlements and fell asleep.

Several people were about to go up to the West Gate Tower, but they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the tower.

"The chief is resting. The guard said.

"Why isn't there a guard on the castle?" said the patrol captain.

"Our commander said that the enemy would not reach the south gate so quickly. The guard said.

"Didn't you hear the sound of the cannon?" said the captain.

"We are on patrol under the orders of the defense envoy, and we hope that my brother will understand" The patrol captain pushed away the guards and led the team up to the castle tower.

A guard hurriedly chased after him, and the patrol team thought he was going to stop it, so he immediately turned around and drew his knife, but he didn't expect the guard to whisper: "Our nephew of the chief uncle defense envoy has just become an official, you should be careful when you go up." ”

So saying, the patrol team went up. Originally, Xiao Yuebai was about to follow, but another guard stopped her. Although the patrol captain reminded the guards, Xiao Yuebai didn't follow upstairs because he didn't care.

As soon as the patrol team left, the two guards suddenly became happy.

"What are you laughing at, two big brothers?" Xiao Yuebai asked curiously.

"Let's wait and see the show!" the guard laughed.

Sure enough, not long after the patrol team went up, they heard a voice roaring from upstairs:

"Lao Tzu is the nephew of the defense envoy, and you dare to care about me. With the roar, I saw the patrol team being driven out of the city tower one by one.

The soldiers who were dozing off at the city walls were immediately attracted and surrounded them.

"I ...... I'm going to report you to the chief. The captain of the patrol shouted and beckoned the brothers to go.

A burly man with a large knife walked out of the building with a woman in his arms. This man is the guard of the South Gate.

"Report Lao Tzu?" said the guard and kicked the patrol captain to the ground, and said viciously, "What are you reporting Lao Tzu?"

The crowd of onlookers immediately boiled.

"Big ...... The big war is coming, and you are still playing with women in the army. The patrol captain said.

"Calling you troublesome. The guard shouted loudly.

The captain of the patrol seemed to be right, and when he finished speaking, the garrison raised his knife and was about to slash at him. Fortunately, the patrol captain reacted quickly and dodged. The guard continued to chase and fight, and then kicked again, and the captain struggled to resist it with his hands. Unexpectedly, the guard raised his knife and slashed at his head.

At this moment, an arrow came out of nowhere and shot the guard with a knife in a cold heart. Face this

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

"Look at the heavens. A soldier shouted.

Then they saw a dark cloud in the sky rushing towards the city. Xiao Yuebai and everyone were surprised, and they could see it. Gradually, some of the soldiers recognized the true face of the dark cloud.

"It's an arrow, hide it. Someone shouted.

Some veterans hurriedly urged the recruits to dodge, Xiao Yuebai followed the reaction, like the recruits running around like a headless fly, he wanted to find a hiding place, but in a hurry, he lost his direction, and every time he found a place, there was always someone one step faster than him.

The rain of arrows finally fell, and those exposed soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and the sound of the rain of arrows hitting and the screams of the arrows came and went one after another. The rain of arrows fell from Xiao Yuebai's side, and he subconsciously used his luck to protect himself and keep himself safe for a while. But the people around him fell to the ground one by one, and their lives were like mustard at this time...... At this critical juncture, an old soldier grabbed him from the side, and he calmed down.

"Run this way. The veteran shouted and pushed Xiao Yuebai under a pine tree. Although it is winter, the pine trees are still flourishing. The dense pine needles resisted most of the arrows' rain, and although some arrows penetrated the pine needles, they were no longer fatal.

Only then did he recover from his panic.

"Let's go to war for the first time. The veteran looked at Xiao Yue's pale face and said.

Xiao Yuebai nodded.

"Coward. The veteran laughed.

"Why are you still smiling?" Xiao Yuebai asked in surprise.

"Look at the soldiers. The veteran pointed to the person who fell to the ground and died of an arrow, Xiao Yuebai looked over, and the veteran continued: "If I run slowly, I will be like them, and this time I picked up a life, do you think I can not laugh?"

"Don't you care about other people's lives?" Xiao Yuebai retorted.

As soon as Xiao Yuebai said this, the veteran laughed even more vigorously:

"You are a scholar, and a scholar is a coward...... Our soldiers' lives are cheap, and we don't care about anything, maybe I'll die in a minute, and I'll be ...... done" Before the old soldier could finish his words, an arrow fell from the gap in the top of the pine tree and fell on the top of his head, and a stream of blood flowed down his head.

"Hey. Xiao Yuebai looked at the smile left on the veteran's face, although he knew that the veteran was dead, he still called him. The corpse of the veteran slowly fell down, just crushing Xiao Yuebai underneath.

"One will make ten thousand dry bones. Xiao Yuebai read silently in her heart. Tears inexplicably came out of my eyes.

He just died, in front of Xiao Yuebai's eyes.

When the rain of arrows stopped, Xiao Yuebai crawled out from under the corpse of the veteran, and at this time the ground was full of people with arrows, some were dead, some were still alive, blood was flowing on the ground, and wails were floating in the air.

Outside the city, the cries of the savages in the north were mixed with the wails of the wounded, and they reached the ears of the living like a mountain of mountains.

"The enemy is coming to the city. The soldiers who were still alive on the tower shouted.

The soldiers and cultists who could still move immediately walked out of their hiding corners when they heard this, and the veterans knew the temperament of the savages in the north, so they took up their weapons and ran to the city walls, and those who could still move also took up arms and went to defend themselves against the enemy under their infection.

"We can't let them break the city, or we'll all be done. I don't know who shouted this sentence in the crowd, and everyone's momentum was immediately ignited.

Xiao Yuebai also followed the veteran to the city wall. When they came to the city wall, they found that the siege under the city was only a small cavalry phalanx, not the main force of the enemy.

This group of savage cavalry is just a small detachment of the enemy army at the east gate, and originally came to the south gate to test the reality of the defenders. Unexpectedly, after observing outside the city for a long time, I only saw a few defenders standing on the city wall. Their tentative approach did not cause an attack from the Tiance Army. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Taking advantage of the cover of bows and arrows, a team of northern savage soldiers threw a climbing rope, wanting to climb into the city, open the city gate, and establish a miraculous feat. By the time the defenders of the city spotted them, they were almost on the verge of climbing the walls.
