Chapter 56 The remnants of the poor soldiers will be broken and the east will accompany the sun
Seeing that the basilisk was about to enter the city, Xinchen decisively ordered: "Light the fire!" The grease applied to the city wall was ignited by the open flames, and the fire spread extremely fast, and the city wall instantly turned into a wall of fire! Those invulnerable basilisks encountered the fire, screamed fiercely, and turned into flames. The soldiers defending the city had been suppressed by fear for too long, and finally they couldn't help but let out a deafening cheer. However, as the grease burned out, the fire on the walls slowly extinguished, and another batch of basilisks creazzed and climbed up.
The soldiers threw torches at the basilisk that went up the wall, but without the grease on the wall, the torches were not enough to stop the basilisk, and the monsters still made it to the top of the city. As soon as the basilisk entered the city, it sprayed venom everywhere, and the soldiers were corroded by the venom, their skin festered instantly, and they were poisoned and died in a few moments, and the city instantly became a tragic Shura field. The basilisk has thick skin and flesh, and the sword cannot be effective, only with a blunt force.
Xinchen urged the spiritual power to kill, and suddenly heard a loud shout: "Your Majesty, my old grandson is here!" It turned out that the reckless man was wielding a pair of golden gourd hammers and rushing over to kill.
Xinchen saw that the single hammer was more than 100 catties, but the double hammer in his hand did not show the slightest effort, and he danced vigorously, it was really a natural divine power, and it was just right to deal with these basilisks, so he shouted at the reckless man: "Who is that Sun, I can still deal with it here, go to the city gate to support quickly, there must be no loss!" The reckless man responded: "The last general, Sun Chu, will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!" After speaking, he turned to the city gate to kill.
Xinchen shuttled on the city wall, but from time to time he looked to the east, and said secretly: "Lao Cheng, how long will it take you to arrive? If I really lose Xijing, my Dongtu will have no danger to rely on, and the herdsmen will be reduced to the rations of the demon clan!"
After a night of fierce fighting, the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties, and the survivors were already exhausted, and now only the belief in survival is the only thing that supports them. Sun Chu stood with a hammer at the city gate, and from time to time he had to swing at the oncoming basilisk, and it seemed that he couldn't hold it for long. Xinchen looked at the tragic battlefield and silently closed his eyes, maybe this is the end!
Suddenly, a deafening cheer rang out from the city wall, and Xinchen opened his eyes and looked back. I saw the rising sun in the eastern field, a general in silver armor was riding a horse to Xijing, behind him with a flag covering the sun, Jia Ge Liantian, the northern reinforcements finally arrived, Xijing was saved!
Xinchen looked fixedly, although the general was wearing armor, he couldn't hide her stunning face. Miao'er, you're here to save me! Hurriedly ordered: "Quickly open the east city gate and welcome the reinforcements from the north into the city!" The herald rushed to the east gate after receiving the order.
After a while, the east gate was opened, and the northern army came to the west city for reinforcements after entering the city. With the addition of these new forces, all the demon soldiers who landed in the city were slaughtered in less than an instant. The demon general saw that the army was coming to help, so he temporarily withdrew his troops, and the demon soldiers under the city retreated like a tide.
Xinchen walked down the city tower and met Li Miao who was galloping. Li Miao turned over and dismounted, regardless of everyone's eyes, and threw herself into Xinchen's arms. Xinchen hugged Li Miao tightly, took off her helmet casually, and a hanging of green silk poured down, and everyone was shocked to realize that the silver-armored general turned out to be his daughter!
Xinchen let go of his hands, turned to hold Li Miao's pretty face, and stared deeply, unwilling to leave for a moment. Li Miao also stared deeply at the dust in her heart, this hope seemed to condense eternity!
"Your Majesty, the West City Gate is seriously damaged and needs to be repaired urgently, please decide!", a loud voice interrupted the warmth of the two of them uninterestingly.
Xinchen felt that it was a little inappropriate to act like this in front of the public, so he quickly let go of Li Miao and said softly: "Miao'er, the military situation is urgent, I'll deal with it first." ”
Li Miao reluctantly let go of her arms that were entangled in Xinchen, and said softly: "Childe, you go, I'll wait for you." ”
Xinchen said goodbye to Li Miao and took Sun Chu to the West City Gate to inspect, only to see that the gate weighing more than 10,000 catties had been covered with cracks under the fierce bombardment of the demon soldiers, and if it was not repaired, it would be difficult to survive the next attack of the demon clan. Xinchen hurriedly sent someone to summon Heshuo, and only he could do such things quickly. Then he led Sun Chu to inspect all parts of the West City, although they were all damaged, but they were much better than the section of the city gate.
Along the way, the corpses of the herdsmen and the demon soldiers were entwined, and the excitement that had just seen Li Miao had already cooled. This is war, and the so-called righteousness is a pretext for power struggle, and behind the glory or tragedy of those in power is a stage built up by the dry bones of these ordinary soldiers! A question lingers in my mind: What is a herdsman? Do shepherds guard the world? But since we walked out of the mountains and bamboo seas, what disasters have been seen along the way that were not caused by those high-ranking herdsmen! The world is the world of the people of the world, but what is the son of heaven who really regards himself as the son of all the people, thinks about what the people think, and what the people need?
The sky is getting higher and higher, and the warm sunlight is shining on Xinchen, as if he wants to bring him some warmth, but how can this temperature melt the bone-chilling cold!
