Chapter 234: The Capture of Jade Peak City by the Crowd (1)

"Xiaohai!"

Elder Kong stood in the middle of the crowd and waved his hand forward.

Kong Hai quickly ran over when he saw him.

"Cumber, what's going on?"

"Alas...... Thousands of people gathered at the foot of this mountain, and they suddenly attacked the mountain. It is estimated that it is for the Jade Maiden Stone. ”

Kong Hai nodded, Shen Linfeng had said the purpose of their trip. It's just that what Kong Hai didn't expect was that in just a few days, thousands of people from the rivers and lakes gathered at the foot of the mountain.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, it seemed that the entire Jade Girl Peak shook a few times. Snowflakes were raised in the air, and the blasted ice instantly stabbed more than a dozen soldiers to the ground.

"Everyone, get out!"

The leading generals shouted, and these soldiers of Jade Peak City retreated one after another with relief.

"Elder Kong, we can't stand it, you should retreat quickly!"

Elder Kong naturally knew that the city gate was gone, so he turned around and asked, "Have all the nearby city residents been evacuated?"

"As you commanded, one is not less!"

"Okay! You lead the troops and quickly withdraw to the ancestral hall, where I have ordered someone to build a wall. ”

"Yes!"

After the soldiers retreated. It didn't take long for another loud bang from the direction of the city gates, deafening and blazing.

After the smoke cleared, a large number of men in yellow clothes instantly poured out from the direction of the city gate. They were tall and rugged. Everyone has a very strange weapon in their hands.

The name of this weapon is "round-edged axe" is not a knife or a sword, it is about three feet long, and a disc is set at the top, and the edges are extremely sharp. The entire handle can be long or short, whether it is close or long-range.

However, it is not only their weapons that are strange, the dress of these yellow-clothed men is also extremely unusual.

He was dressed in coarse yellow clothes, and there was a pale yellow tulle on the outside. Her hair was neatly tied up at the back of her head and tied into a long braid. At the end of the braid was a thin iron lock, and at the end of the lock hung a sharp pentagonal weapon.

Shen Linfeng looked at this strange outfit, he always felt familiar.

"Brother Shen, don't look at it, let's quickly withdraw to the ancestral hall!"

Shen Linfeng agreed, then turned around and ran in the direction of the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is located in the middle of Yufeng City, and Elder Kong withdrew the soldiers here, which means that half of Yufeng City has been captured by the Jianghu people.

Therefore, the ancestral hall is already the last line of defense for Elder Kong. Because the structure of Yufeng City is also very unique, the whole city is divided into two parts. The first part of the road is well-connected and almost all the streets are connected. The same is true for the latter part. But if you want to get from the front city to the back city. The ancestral hall is the only way for them.

When Shen Linfeng arrived at the ancestral hall, there were people on both sides of the road. The soldiers had already set up their positions, and the townspeople also brought out many planks of one foot square and many thick sticks of different lengths from their houses in groups of three or five.

They stood two planks facing each other, leaving an arm's length of space in between. There were also some townspeople who dragged a pile of snow from wooden planks, and then poured the snow into the gap between the two vertical planks.

A third group of citizens took the ice water they had melted from their homes and poured it into the gaps in the planks by strong men who had sprinkled it on the surface of the planks.

The cold weather instantly froze the ice water, and some of it attached to the surface of the wooden planks to form a thick layer of cold ice, like the mud of the city wall. As for the snow in the void, when it is watered by ice water, it immediately becomes extremely hard, like a stone used to build a wall.

In front of the ancestral hall, soldiers set up a formation in front to defend against the enemy, and the city's citizens built a wall to protect them in the rear. Elder Kong stood in the middle of the crowd and commanded loudly. The seemingly chaotic scene was actually arranged in an orderly manner, and everyone performed their duties. In a short time, a "city wall" more than three feet high was completed.

The upright planks served as a "wall" to defend against enemies, and behind them, the townspeople built a stepped platform with wooden pillars.

Elder Kong gave the order, and the soldiers quickly evacuated. They entered quickly through the side doors that had been set aside in advance. Then climb onto the platform in batches to protect against arrows.

Shen Linfeng was very curious, these planks had obviously been prepared in advance, and the coordination and cooperation of the city residents must have been trained.

He said the question in his heart, and although Xiaoyu looked worried, he still patiently answered it.

Xiaoyu said that since their ancestors, every household near the ancestral hall would prepare such a square plank. In order to be able to build a "wall" as quickly as possible at a critical moment to defend against foreign enemies.

As for the rest of the city's residents, every year the ministers would select some men with strong physiques from among the city's citizens and let them carry water to build a wall at a critical moment.

"Whoosh!" a bright light shot into the sky, blooming in brilliant colors in the dark night sky.

"This is a signal!" Xiao Yu said in a low voice while standing beside Shen Linfeng.

"What signal?"

"Inform the soldiers fighting in front that the "wall" has been built, and tell them to evacuate quickly. ”

Sure enough, Xiao Yu had just finished speaking. About two dozen soldiers limped down the street. They were covered in blood, and some of them had half bows and arrows stuck in their bodies.

The "city wall" is in front of them, and if they enter it smoothly, they can save their lives. However, things don't always go as planned. Behind the soldiers, a large number of men in yellow chased forward with round-bladed axes in their hands.

Most of the soldiers were seriously wounded, but the men in yellow were all fierce. In a few moments, a lagging soldier was cut to the ground.

The side doors of the "city wall" had been opened, and everyone on the platform was in a cold sweat for them.

In the blink of an eye, the wounded soldier had been chased by the men in yellow, one of whom had a severed arrow stuck in his arm. Seeing that he was dressed as the leader of the soldiers, he saw that a large number of Jianghu people had arrived behind him. If they continue to enter the city, the men in yellow behind them will definitely take the opportunity to enter.

Thinking of this, the general suddenly stopped. The soldiers behind him also stood still.

"Brothers, we're fighting with them!"

The soldiers were obviously very convinced of the general, and as soon as he finished speaking, everyone agreed in unison.

The sound of swords, shouts, screams. All kinds of roars rang out under this improvised "wall".

"Elder Kong, hurry up and close the door and release the arrows!"

Elder Kong looked at the soldiers who were submerged in the sea of people under the city, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"Come on, close the side door!

"Yes!"

"Whoosh......"

Each of the archers on the platform gritted their teeth, and their fingers loosened at the sound of this command. Bows and arrows rained down.
