A rebel soldier came to the city, how could Li Xiuyuan, who was in Guobei County, not know.

It's just that the rebels came too fast, and by the time he was ready, the rebels had already reached the city of Jinling City.

"Boom~!"

A series of iron hooves roared, eight thousand cavalry rushed from the direction of Guobei County, Li Xiuyuan was wearing black armor, holding a tiger's mouth swallowing a golden spear, riding a dragon horse, rushing to the front, his face was solemn, running like the wind, even if he was anxious in his heart, he had to stop in front of Guo Beicheng for a while.

In front of a temple outside Guobei City, there is a large box containing golden armor and weapons, and these armor and weapons are placed on the ground and go around the Taoist temple several times.

At this moment, a boy wearing a Taoist robe stood in front of these weapons and armor with a whisk in his hand, and watched with a smile as the eight thousand iron hooves rushed towards him.

"Stop~!"

Li Xiuyuan's dragon horse neighed, and landed in front of the temple and raised his gun to drink.

"Huh~!"

Behind him, the horses neighed, and the eight thousand cavalry quickly stopped, and the rumbling roar stopped.

"It seems that the weapons and armor are ready, although they can only be used for ninety days, but my Li family is already casting weapons and armor, and the time of ninety days can last until the next outfit. ”

Li Xiuyuan secretly said in his heart, he turned over and dismounted, and strode over.

After glancing at it, he suddenly said lightly: "Little boy, where is my master? Have you seen a Taoist who looks a little obscene?"

"Apprentice, is there only the word obscenity in your heart?" Xiao Daotong glared at him suddenly, and said very angrily.

"Master?" Li Xiuyuan said in surprise when he saw this: "How did you become so small." ”

The blind Taoist who turned into a child said: "Didn't I tell you before being a teacher, but now that a teacher is about to attain the Tao and begin to rejuvenate and return to youth, this is the highest state of cultivation in the world. ”

"So that's the case, I thought that master, you were scared when you heard the war, and hid back in the mountains and forests. Li Xiu said from afar.

The blind man said: "Why is the courage of the teacher so small? Hugh wants to defile people's innocence, thousands of people look at it, save some face for the teacher, and walk around the world in the future." ”

"Let's not talk about this for now, this time thanks to the master you have prepared the armor and weapons, which has saved a lot of time, otherwise my eight thousand cavalry will only be afraid to wear winter clothes and go to the battlefield with knives. ”

After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he turned around and shouted: "Get off your horse, take weapons and armor, and prepare to go to Jinling City with me." ”

"Yes, General. ”

All the battalion commanders drank in unison, and immediately took their respective people, dismounted to get weapons and armor, and then began to put them on quickly.

"Oh my God, the young owner is generous, such a good weapon and armor, how much silver does it take. ”

"It can't be made of gold, it's so dazzling, even the ancestral bright armor of the previous dynasty of a family in my village is not so magnificent. ”

"It's so strong, my knife has been chopped up, it's terrible, it's terrible, I have this armor to wear on my body and I'm afraid of fighting? ”

These people got the weapons and armor, and they were all extremely excited.

What man doesn't love such good weapons and armor?

Not to mention sitting down on that tall horse.

Follow the young owner to work hard, don't lose.

At this moment, outside the city of Jinling.

A group of refugees out of the city are clearing the battlefield, picking up useful armor, weapons, and arrows, ready to take them back to the city for a bite to eat.

At first, the refugees were still worried, but later they were relieved to see that the rebels did not move, and they dispersed one after another, and walked up the battlefield.

"My grandson's steamed bun has fallen. "An old peasant saw a corpse lying on top of it, wearing a suit of iron armor, which was supposed to be a small leader of the bandits.

The old peasant walked briskly, pulled off his armor, and touched the corpse again.

When he touched out some broken silver, his old face turned a little red with excitement.

With this money, this winter can be overcome.

Another young man, holding his sister, walked on the battlefield, picking up arrows scattered on the ground, but because they were not as quick as those adults, they did not pick up many arrows, and they did not add up to ten.

"Brother, I'm hungry, it's okay not to pick it up, let's go change the steamed buns to eat. ”

The little sister took his hand and looked pitiful.

The young man said to her: "Little sister is obedient, we have to pick up a little more, now we don't pick up enough to change steamed buns, they have all been picked up here, let's go over there." He pointed to a place far away from the walls.

The little sister bit her fingers, swallowed her saliva, nodded, and grabbed the corner of her brother's clothes and followed behind.

It is true that there are more arrows there, but because it is far from the city wall, the refugees are reluctant to lean over and fear that they will not have time to return to the city.

There was also a woman who was walking on the battlefield with a crying baby in her arms and a look of horror in her eyes.

This woman is only less than twenty years old, and it seems that she has not been married for a few years, where has she ever seen such a bloody place, the corpses and severed arms and limbs all over the ground, she is so frightened that she does not dare to approach, and after turning around several times, she just barely picked up a waist knife.

But just as this group of refugees was cleaning up the battlefield, suddenly, a strong wind howled outside Jinling City, and a blizzard suddenly fell from the sky.

For a while, it was white outside the city wall, and it was impossible to see the situation clearly.

However, the strange thing is that this wind and snow only roared around Jinling City, and there was no wind and snow less than a mile out of Jinling City.

"Woo~!"

In the camp of the rebels, the horn of the attack was blown.

Tens of thousands of bandits, rebels, and rogues rushed out of the barracks, armed with rudimentary weapons, and rushed towards the tall Jinling City not far away.

When these bandits rushed to the city wall, the howling wind and blizzard outside the city suddenly stopped, and then immediately dissipated, as if even the heavens were helping them to capture Jinling City.

As the blizzard cleared, the vision in front of me quickly became clear.

"The immortals in the Heavenly Palace seem to be unable to sit still. ”

After the rebels, Shi Hu rode on his horse, looking at the sudden appearance and abrupt end of the blizzard, his eyes froze, and cast his eyes into a cloud in the sky.

Two vague figures were hiding in the clouds, and no one had noticed them.

Under the cover of the blizzard, the rebels were already approaching the city walls.

The soldiers defending the city were suddenly shocked, they were just happy that the storm had stopped, but when they saw the dense rebels not far from the city wall, they were startled.

"Quick, go and report, the rebels are attacking the city. ”

"Knock! knock!"

For a while, the alarm sounded above the city wall.

"What? The rebels are attacking the city?"

Inside the city tower, Envoy Yang jumped up in fright when he heard the news, and then he thought of something, and shouted: "Quick, close the city gate and guard the city wall." ”

"Yes, sir. A military general walked out.

Zuo Qianhu arched his hand and said: "My lord, there are still people cleaning the battlefield outside the city, should you close the city gate later." ”

"It's just a few hundred refugees, where is more important than the city, don't say more, close the city gate quickly, don't care about the life and death of those refugees outside the city. Admiral Yang said loudly.

Yet outside the city.

When the refugees heard the sound of drums, a group of rebels rushing in the distance shouting and shouting and killing, their faces turned white with fright, and they didn't care about cleaning the battlefield anymore, so they immediately ran to the city.

"Brother, brother, you see, there are a lot of arrows here, and I picked up two more. ”

The little sister was holding seven or eight arrows, her little face was red from the cold, and she said happily to her brother.

The young man was a little panicked at this time: "It seems that there is going to be a fight again, let's go into the city quickly, we can't stay outside." ”

"Oh. ”

The little sister nodded, holding the arrow and trotting forward with her brother.

But she didn't run far this weaker girl couldn't hold the bundle of arrows, as soon as her arm loosened, the arrows spilled all over the ground, she squatted down again, picked up the arrows one by one, stuffed them under her armpits again, and after picking them up, she stretched out her red little hand and sighed, and then rubbed it on her legs, and after it seemed to warm up, she trotted forward with the arrows again.

"Huh~!"

An arrow came from the rebels not far behind and landed next to the little girl.

The little sister's eyes lit up, and her little feet took a step, and she ran over and picked up the arrow stuck in the ground.

When she picked up the arrow, two more fell beside it, and she happily ran over to pick it up, and then sighed into her cold little hand.

"Brother, brother, I have a lot of arrows here. The little sister said happily, there were arrows falling around her, so she couldn't pick it up.

Thinking that these arrows could be exchanged for steamed buns, she became elated again and picked them all up one by one.

But the rebels behind her were getting closer and closer, and they were already less than a hundred feet away.

The young man looked back and saw that his sister was still squatting there to pick up arrows, and hurriedly shouted in fright, "Little sister, run." Don't pick it up, those bad guys are coming. ”

"Oh, I'm here, brother, wait for me, my arrows can be exchanged for a lot of steamed buns." ”

The little sister replied and ran forward with the arrow.

But before she had run a few steps, an arrow flew and pierced through her thin clothes and thin body.

The little sister fell to the ground, and the arrows fell to the ground again.

She struggled to get up again, but her young body could no longer exert her strength, and she could not get up at all, so she had to lie on the ground and pick up the scattered arrows one by one and protect them in her arms.

"Little sister, how are you, little sister, you bleed. ”

The boy turned around in a panic and ran over, and when he helped the little sister up, he saw an arrow from the little sister's chest piercing through the chest, and blood gushing out of the wound.

Xiaomei's little hand touched her chest, and when she saw the blood on her hands, she cried: "Brother, I didn't eat enough, I fell, and now I can't walk, I want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat steamed buns." ”

The young man was at a loss, and reached out to try to pull out the arrow that was tied to his little sister, but as soon as he moved, the blood flowed faster, and the little sister who was crying and screaming to eat steamed buns soon fell into his arms with a pale face, and he didn't cry or shout.

He wiped his tears, hugged his little sister, and prepared to carry his little sister back: "Little sister, don't cry, you will eat steamed buns again when you enter the city." ”

"Kill"

But before the young man could carry his little sister on his back, the rebels behind him rolled in, instantly drowning the figure of the brother and sister.

Next to them, there were seven or eight arrows sprinkled around, and two bundles of neat arrows, which could be exchanged for ten steamed buns if they were brought to the city.

"Don't kill my child, don't kill my child. ”

A woman ran desperately with the baby in her arms, not even the weapon she had picked up, but with two hands to protect the hungry baby and the crying baby and ran madly towards the city.

The woman, who was not even twenty years old, looked back with a look of horror, but saw that the thieves were getting closer and closer to her.

"Ah~!"

Accidentally stepping on a small pit in front of her, the woman fell to the ground, and the baby in her hand accidentally rolled to the side.

"Wow, ahhhh

The woman ran over in terror, and when she saw a thief passing by, she screamed, "Don't kill my child." With that, she hurriedly pounced on her child and protected it.

Then she felt a slash behind her, and countless feet stepped on her body, she screamed in pain, and her arms were even broken to the bone, and the woman felt as if she had been trampled into a puddle of mud.

Finally, I felt a shock in my head, and I was no longer conscious.

"Don't, kill my child......"

At this moment, the rebels had rushed under the city walls, but the city gates had been closed, and even the small gates had been firmly blocked.

There were hundreds of refugees outside the gate, and an old peasant with a pair of iron armor on his back banged on the city gate in horror, shouting hoarsely: "Open the door quickly, let us in, open the door quickly." ”

However, behind the city gates.

A small officer, but the commander of the soldiers, shouted: "Bring the stones and timber, block the gates, and make them stronger." ”

When the refugees saw this scene, they cried for a while, and wanted to rush over to open the door, but they were stopped by the soldiers, and even a few stubborn refugees were hacked to death.

"Grandma, why hasn't Grandpa come back yet, I'm hungry again. ”

A young child in the arms of an old woman shook her grandmother.

The old woman was curled up in her arms with her grandson in her arms, her limbs were already stiff, and her face was cold.

"Grandma, wake up, why don't you speak, grandma......" said the toddler.

But outside the city wall not far away, the old peasant who had gone out of the city had fallen in a pool of blood like the other refugees, and he had been hit by several arrows, and before he died, he clung to a pair of armor and protected a few taels of silver in his arms.

"Too much, too many people. ”

The soldiers defending the city were stunned at the moment when they saw those rebels coming in dense and dense like a tide, so many people were at least more than 100,000, which was a world of difference from the previous tens of thousands of tentative sieges.

"It's impossible to stand it, there are too many rebels. ”

The arrows shot from the walls of the city were like stones into the sea, and they did not stir up the slightest wave.

With less than 40,000 defenders scattered across the walls, how many people could there be in each place?
