Chapter Ninety-Six: The Massacre of the City (1)

"What is that?" On the watchtower, two soldiers, one old and one young, were leaning lazily against the wooden pillar behind them, and one of the soldiers suddenly saw two small black dots from the sky.

"What else could it be, bird?" replied the other older soldier, whose eyes were still narrowed.

The perennial calm and calm seem to have become an ornament.

"No, it's round, it's getting closer. The soldier, who had noticed something was wrong at first, said again.

"Hey, why are you ......" The older soldier next to him opened his eyes a little impatiently, and then stared more and more round. He'd been on the battlefield before, and he was all too familiar with the round thing in front of him. "Ring the alarm bell!!" At the same time, he raised his voice again, his forehead was bruised, and he shouted in the loudest voice: "Enemy attack!!"

"Bell, bell, bell!" a melodious bell flowed out of the tower, and then, the same bell rang from the west, and then, the entire streets and alleys of Liuhai City were filled with alarm bells.

"Mother, this bell is so nice. In front of the noodle stall in the market, a little girl tilted her head and listened, then turned back to the busy women on the side.

"Listen here, don't run around. The woman said as she cleaned up.

The noise in the bazaar has been covered by the sound of bells, and everyone is discussing, why did the alarm bell suddenly ring? I have heard it two or three times in previous years, but later it was said that the alarm bell had been in disrepair for many years, and the city lord wanted to test whether it could not be sounded, and this time it was the same.

Liuhai City is a small city that is not rich, but the fortifications are among the best, because it is located in the extreme south, it is the first line of defense against foreign enemies, but the strange thing is that other cities have more or less encountered pirate raids, but this Liuhai City has been calm for decades.

Zhaoyunhe, who was enjoying a morning meal in the City Lord's Mansion, was startled by the sudden sound of the alarm bell, but he didn't put down the spoon in his hand, but ordered his subordinates: "Go and see what's going on." ”

The subordinate led the order to run out of the door, but before he could breathe, he ran back and said, "My lord, the city defense commander asks to see you." ”

"Oh, tell him to wait in the main hall, and I'll be there in a moment. Zhaoyunhe ate by himself.

"Yes," the subordinate withdrew.

"My lord, if there is an enemy attack, please order the deployment as soon as possible and prepare for battle. The city defense commander, who was originally notified to wait in the main hall, directly slammed the door open and rushed in, and said to Yunhe.

"Didn't you go to the main hall and wait, why did you break in, when the city lord speaks, it's a fart?" Zhao Yunhe said a little angrily.

"The military situation is urgent, and my subordinates are forgiven for being rude. The city defense commander said.

"Do you know how important breakfast is to a person?" said Zhao Yunhe, holding the spoon in his hand.

"Your Excellency, please order all your troops as soon as possible, organize defenses, and prepare for battle. The city defense commander said again.

"Hey, where did you come from, didn't you also lie about the military situation?" Zhao Yunhe saw that his words were directly ignored, and he became even more angry. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud "boom", as if some flying object from outside the sky had smashed into the city. He hurriedly stood up, and his body couldn't help but take a few steps back before standing firmly, and then waved his hand to the city defense commander in shock: "Order, order." “

"Yes," the city defense commander ordered to retreat.

Then there were two loud noises, and even the house shook and shook, Zhaoyunhe's face turned pale, and he stood there stunned, and suddenly ran to the door, closed the door, sat back in his seat, and continued to eat porridge and rice, but his hands trembled unconsciously, and not a single grain of porridge and rice was sent to his mouth.

"Island Master, everything is as you expected, Liuhai City has not looked defended at all so far, maybe those defenders are still busy wearing pants. On the big boat near the shore, a strong man with a big head and a round waist stood behind Zhongshan Ceyun and said.

This is the death of peace. Zhongshan Ceyun sighed.

"The island master is wise, for so many years, we in Jiuyuan Island have not harassed this Liuhai City once, presumably they don't even know what pirates look like. The strong man laughed.

"The door is six. "Zhongshan Ceyun Road.

The strong man immediately put away his expression and turned to his knees and said, "The subordinates are here." "The Sixth Court of the Gate is the name of the strong man.

"Take your people and go. After saying that, Zhongshan Ceyun turned around and left.

"Where's the bow and arrow? Carry the bow and arrow up the wall. ”

"Where's the archers? Are you going home to visit your family? How many are you still there?"

"Are the wooden pegs in the trenches in place?"

"What? The stake has rotted?"

"Roll the wood over there. ”

"Just a few pieces of rolling wood?"

"The walls were filled with oil and torches were prepared. ”

"I asked you to pour oil, why are you pouring water?"

The city defense commander of Liuhai City made Han Weiliu pull his hoarse voice, standing on a high place and directing the soldiers to arrange defenses, but there were only dozens of wastes and broken tools in front of him, which made him very angry in his heart.

"Did you find the enemy?" asked Han Weiliu when he saw one of the scouts returning.

"Found it. The scout gasped.

"Where, how many?" asked Han Weiliu.

The scout swallowed a mouthful of saliva, unable to speak for a long time, and simply turned his head and pointed behind him, and from the far bottom of the dirt slope, a string of scurrying human heads slowly appeared.

With his mouth open, Han Weiliu pushed the scouts away and shouted, "Hurry up and repair the city walls." ”

But it was in vain for him to say this, just now that several rounds of boulders like small hills fell from the sky, all hitting the same part of the city wall, and now the east foot of the city wall has made a large gap several meters wide, how can it be filled in this time and a half.

It's just that where did this enemy come from? Who is it? This attack is a little inexplicable.

"What about the City Lord?" asked Han Weiliu.

The general next to him glanced at him, and hurriedly replied: "Also, I'm still having breakfast, and I haven't come out yet." ”

"Ridiculous, the enemy is in front of you, hey. Han Weiliu was helpless in his heart, he knew that Zhaoyunhe only relied on his family power to get this son, and he came here to seek happiness, he didn't know how to defend the city at all, let alone fight, but now against the enemy, as the lord of a city, he couldn't even go to the city to boost morale, so how can this city be defended?

"Your Excellency, there are enemy forces ahead. Just when Han Weiliu sighed, the repulsors rushed to report, Han Weiliu immediately climbed on the ruined city wall, only to see a row of black pressed human heads appear from the low slope in the east, at this time a distance of one or two miles, but the morale and murderous aura exuded by those soldiers wearing black armor made Han Weiliu really have a feeling of chill in his heart, what kind of person is this? Is it really the army of Jiuyuan Island? But it is unheard of.

"All the guards held the gap in the wall, and the others went up to the wall to use the fortifications to hold back the enemy. Han Weiliu hurriedly shouted.

Although there was some chaos, the soldiers were quite obedient, and they took their places early, waiting for the enemy to arrive, they clenched the weapons in their hands, their throats rolled and rolled, and their eyes stared at the front with complicated eyes, and for a while they became silent.

Behind them, all the people had already closed their doors and hid in what they thought was the safest place.
