Chapter 373 5 Killed
Chapter 373 5 Killed
The scene in front of me suddenly became blurry.
Before Tiemuge even had time to look back, he fell to the ground and stopped breathing.
The guard finally ran closer and shouted at the top of his voice: "Return to the city, everyone return to the city!"
When the silver-armored guards heard the shouting, they all turned their horses around in panic and ran towards the city.
Before coming out, they thought they had a sure win.
After coming out, they thought that the Liang people were vulnerable.
But later, when they saw their companions fall under their horses one by one, they realized that the Liang people were indeed very capable.
Especially those few people, who were blindfolded but still able to accurately determine their positions and kill their companions with one blow, which made them feel infinite fear in their hearts.
The steps back to the city were very messy.
No one cared about anyone else and everyone wanted to run back to the city and hide.
Xiao Huaian discovered their intention and commanded the Liang army to stop them.
"Encircle them from both sides, don't let them go back!"
When everyone heard the order, they immediately rode their horses to chase after him.
King Rui ran in front with a gun in hand.
Buduer had sharp eyes and saw the figure of King Rui. He immediately ordered, "Bring up my bow and arrow."
His men brought a bow and arrow, and Buduer immediately drew the bow and shot the arrow at King Rui.
King Rui dodged the arrow and at the same time he whipped his horse's butt hard to make the warhorse speed up and pierce the barbarian in front of him with a spear.
As they got closer and closer to the city gate, the Liang army gradually came within the shooting range of the barbarians on the city wall. Countless arrows were shot down, and some people were unable to dodge and were shot down from their horses.
"Try to stay as close to their people as possible!"
King Rui turned around and reminded.
Everyone followed King Rui's instructions and quickly approached the barbarian closest to them.
At such a close distance, the people on the city wall didn't dare to shoot arrows easily.
Buduer immediately ordered: "Quick, send the cavalry to bring the people back!"
Not long after, a hundred horses stepped out of the city gate and ran towards the battlefield.
They targeted the Liang army and prepared to intercept them.
Unexpectedly, when they were about to meet, the soldiers of Daliang did not indulge in fighting, but instead bypassed them and continued to rush forward.
"not good!"
Buduer could see everything clearly from the city wall.
These Liang troops did not intend to intercept their Silver Armor Team, but to take the opportunity to rush into Xueyue City.
"Close the city gate! Don't let the Liang people in!"
Buduer ordered loudly.
There was a clanging sound, and the huge city gate began to close slowly.
King Rui rushed to the front, and just as the city gate was about to be closed, he threw out his Silver Moon Spear.
The Silver Moon Spear was as fast as lightning and hit the crack of the door exactly.
The city gate could not be closed.
The people inside discovered the problem and pushed the gun tips out with all their strength. At this time, King Rui had already caught up on horseback.
He held the gun in his left hand, placed his right palm on the tail of the gun and pushed hard, pushing the silver gun a little further inside.
At this time, other people also rushed over. They dismounted from their horses and pushed hard at the bronze door on the left, opening a gap in the door that was about to close.
"Hurry up, I'll stop them from behind!"
Chuqi shouted, then rode back with a few men, stood in front of the door with knives in hand, to stop the barbarians from coming to fight.
The Silver Armor Team and the Cavalry will catch up soon, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.
Seeing that the city gate was still not opened wide enough for the war horses to pass through, Fifteen dodged and ran to the edge of the gap.
"I come!"
Fifteen was small and thin, and the gap was just enough for him to pass through.
Seeing the child desperately trying to get in, King Rui quickly stopped him: "Come back!"
But how could Fifteen listen?
He slid in sideways, seized the opportunity, and slashed the chain that controlled the expansion mechanism behind the city gate.
The chains broke and the guards inside also reacted.
Several scimitars chopped at Fifteen's back at the same time. Fifteen staggered and fell forward.
The city gate, which had lost its chain control, was pushed open all of a sudden.
King Rui rushed in with one step and just in time to support Fifteen who was rushing towards him.
Blood continued to flow out of Fifteen's mouth. He opened his eyes and saw Prince Rui. He forced a firm smile and said, "Prince, am I very powerful?"
King Rui was in a heavy mood. He helped him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and said gently, "Great!"
Then he turned around neatly and handed Fifteen to the person behind him: "Take good care of him!"
The person who took over the fifteenth was the first day of the new year.
Chuyi looked at his brother covered in blood, and said in a trembling voice: "Shiwu, don't scare your brother, you have to hold on, you have to hold on!"
Fifteen looked at Chuyi and asked aggrievedly, "Brother Chuyi, when will you pay me back the meat strips you owe me?"
After saying that, he closed his eyes weakly.
Chuyi endured the sadness in his heart, bent down and carried Shiwu on his back: "Hold on for a while, brother will take you to find Miss Lu now!"
Chuyi firmly believed that Miss Lu was a doctor and she would definitely be able to cure Shiwu.
……
The city gates were wide open, and the Daliang army, the barbarians' silver-armored troops, and the cavalry poured in together.
Chuyi cleverly hid behind an empty door and waited until the main group had gone in before he slipped out.
The soldiers who were about to come in were from Daliang, and Ye Xinran followed at the end of the team.
When Chuyi saw Ye Xinran, he rushed over and said, "Miss Lu, please, save Shiwu!"
"What's up with him?"
Although the conditions did not allow it and there were dangers all around, Ye Xinran still reached out and took Fifteen.
Chuyi cried as she spoke: "Fifteen is still so young, he has never even eaten lotus seed paste cakes sold in the city, and his brothers still owe him meat sticks, he must not die!"
Seeing that he was talking incoherently, Ye Xinran started to check it herself.
Fifteen was covered in blood, and it was hard to tell where the injuries were.
But when Ye Xinran's hand touched Fifteen's pulse, she sighed secretly.
It doesn't matter where Fifteen's injury is.
Because Fifteen's pulse had stopped beating.
"He is dead."
Ye Xinran said with difficulty.
After hearing this, Chuyi's head shook like a rattle: "No, no. He was just talking to me. Look, his hands are still warm!
Miss Lu, please, please save him, I beg you!"
Chuyi said this and fell to his knees with a thud.
Ye Xinran quickly took a step back: "Don't be like this, if I can save him, I will definitely do my best to save him."
Ding Qiao reached out and helped the man up, saying in a very aggressive tone: "My master knows what's going on. If she says she can cure it, then she can cure it. If she says she can't cure it, then she can't cure it.
"Soldier, please don't embarrass my girl!"
I felt sad when I first heard it.
"I don't want to embarrass Miss Lu. I just hope that Shiwu can survive. As long as he can survive, I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse!"
Ye Xinran was also very distressed: "As long as he is still breathing, I will definitely find a way to save him, but he has been brain dead for too long. I am really sorry, I really can't do anything."
"It's all my fault!" Chuyi slapped himself hard, "If I had been able to carry him over faster, maybe he could have been saved!"
Ding Qiao said angrily: "Don't you see where we are and what time it is? Everyone is fighting up there, but you are alone here crying and shouting."
She pulled Chuyi over and pointed at the bodies lying in disorder outside, saying, "There are so many Daliang soldiers lying here, are you going to cry for every one of them? Your brother is dead, so does that mean other people don't have brothers either?"
Chuyi finally burst into tears.
They are all soldiers of Daliang, and they are all willing to fight on the battlefield.
Although Fifteen is young, he just did something that he himself did not dare to do.
My younger brother is a hero, so my older brother can’t be a coward!
He reached out and pulled off a belt from the corpse on the ground, then turned around and carried Fifteen on his back.
"Where are you going to carry him?"
Ding Qiao thought that this person had not yet been awakened by the scolding.
Chuyi tied himself and Shiwu together with a belt.
"I want to take Fifteen with me to kill the barbarians! Fifteen is a coward, I can't leave him here alone!"
"But how are you going to fight with him on your back?"
Chuyi straightened his back and said, "Who said I can't go into battle? With Shiwu protecting my brother, I can kill more barbarians!"
After saying this, he strode inside.
Seeing Chuyi disappear in the crowd, Ding Qiao pointed behind the city gate and said, "Master, why don't we hide here for a while."
Everyone entered the city. There was no one else at the city gate except Ye Xinran and Ding Qiao.
Ye Xinran shook her head after hearing Ding Qiao's suggestion: "No, let's go into the city now."
"But girl, it's very dangerous in there."
Ding Qiao knew that Ye Xinran was not a person without sense of propriety.
"We won't fight them. After we go in, we'll try to avoid them and look for their granary."
"Why are we going to look for the granary?" Ding Qiao wondered, "Once we capture Xueyue City, won't all the food in the granary be ours?
Let's take a step back," Ding Qiao paused and said:
"Even if we can't take down Xueyue City, Master Xiao will definitely have people burn down their granaries."
Based on Ding Qiao's understanding of Xiao Huaian, even when he is at a disadvantage, he must do everything to the utmost to benefit his side.
So Xiao Huaian must have planned such a big thing as military rations long ago.
"They prepare theirs, we prepare ours!"
Ye Xinran listened to the shouting and fighting sounds on the city wall and said, "I am worried now. The barbarians have already made preparations. If they can't defend the city this time, they will burn the food in the city.
The food we brought is not enough to feed the people in the city, so we must seize their military rations."
Seeing Ye Xinran's expression, Ding Qiao knew that she had made up her mind, so she said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Master!"
The granaries in the city are usually kept in the center of the city.
So after Ye Xinran and Ding Qiao passed through the city gate, they did not look around, but walked hurriedly towards the city along the wall.
The city was in a mess and no one paid any attention to them. The two of them walked and stopped, and actually managed to sneak in.
……
The closer you get to the city center, the quieter it gets.
Ye Xinran originally wanted to find a passerby to ask, but when she finally calmed down, she realized that there were no pedestrians on the road.
Even the houses along the road had their doors locked, and no one responded even when they knocked.
"How can I find this?"
Ye Xinran felt a little embarrassed looking at the unfamiliar road.
Time is tight, leaving them with little opportunity to make mistakes.
"Master, I just heard some noise in the yard over there. Let's go in and ask!"
"it is good!"
Of course Ye Xinran agreed if she could find out the person.
The two walked to the door, and just as Ye Xinran was about to knock, Ding Qiao reached out, lifted Ye Xinran's arm, and took her directly into the yard.
The two men landed in the middle of the yard.
After Ye Xinran landed, she looked up and saw an old man as thin as a bamboo pole lying by the door, looking out through the crack.
"Uncle, can I ask you something?"
The old man looked outside seriously, and when he heard the question, he didn't even raise his head and directly refused: "No."
After saying this, the old man finally realized something was wrong.
When he turned around, he was shocked to find that the two people who were outside just now had jumped into his yard at some point.
No wonder he couldn’t see these two people no matter how hard he looked just now.
"You, you, you, you," the old man pointed at the two people with his branch-like fingers, "When did you come in?"
"Just now!"
Ding Qiao replied: "Don't be afraid, old man. We are not bad people. We just want to ask you something."
"I don't know. I can't say anything."
The old man covered his ears: "I really don't know anything!"
"Are you afraid that the barbarians will retaliate against you?"
Seeing the old man's frightened look, Ye Xinran guessed.
"Don't worry, we are soldiers from Daliang. We are here to attack Xueyue City today and take you home."
When the old man heard the words "take them home", his eyes immediately turned red: "Go home, go home, go home, then have you heard of a person named Sun Yurong outside?"
Ye Xinran guessed that the Sun Yurong mentioned by the old man was his closest relative.
Although he wanted to gain the old man's favor, Ye Xinran still said, "Old man, although I don't know Sun Yurong, if we take over Xueyue City, we can ask the county magistrate of Xixia Mountain to help you find her."
"Can you take it?" the old man thought.
"I can take it, I can take it!"
Ye Xinran quickly assured, "So we are going to the barbarian's granary now, please tell us the location, old man."
When he heard that he was going to point out the location, the old man asked again with concern: "Can you really get it?"
"It really can!" Ye Xinran assured again.
The old man was a little excited. He opened the door of his house with trembling hands. He pointed in the direction of the door and said, "Go south along this road, pass through two alleys, and you will see the granary!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinran quickly thanked him and ran south with Ding Qiao.
The old man looked at their backs and shook his head. "Ding Qiao has become much more capable, but the guy next to her doesn't know how to fight. If these two go to the granary, will they be bullied by the gatekeepers?"
Thinking of this, the old man hardened his heart.
He walked to the northeast corner of the yard, picked up a pickaxe, and began to dig hard. After a while, a sword handle covered with green rust was revealed.
