Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Chapter 533 Enemy Attack

That night, the two sisters lay on the same bed and chatted, and soon fell asleep exhausted.

The night is deep and the important border area is silent. In the darkness, danger is approaching quietly like a ghost...

At the beginning of the Yin hour (three o'clock in the morning), when all things are in the deepest sleep, a team of elite soldiers wearing black armor and carrying weapons, under the cover of night, blended into the surrounding environment and quietly rushed towards the Gucheng Pass.

They moved with extreme caution, their footsteps were almost inaudible, like hunters in the dark, carefully approaching their prey.

This team moved swiftly, like a cheetah. Crouching, the soldiers skillfully used the ups and downs of the terrain and shadows to quickly shuttle back and forth, heading straight for the city gate.

In the darkness, only the weapons reflected a faint white light under the silvery moonlight. As the distance got closer, the soldiers guarding the city gates gradually discovered the enemy's night attack by the vague moving reflections.

……

"Boom boom boom boom..." The sound of drums continued to echo in the night.

Lin Xiaoyue and Xiaocao were awakened by the deafening drumbeats and loud shouting outside.

"Princess, there is an enemy attack." The solemn voices of the guards suddenly rang out outside the door, and the sleepiness of the two was immediately dispelled, and they jumped out of bed.

Are you kidding? This is a pass where fighting continues and the mortality rate is extremely high. If you are not careful, you will be dead. How can you not be prepared?

The two of them quickly put on their clothes without thinking twice and rushed to open the door.

"what's the situation?"

"Princess, the rhythm of the drums means an enemy attack, and the enemy has already broken in."

So fast? Lin Xiaoyue found it a little unbelievable. They had just arrived when the enemy launched a night attack. If this coincidence wasn't caused by a traitor, then it would be a miracle.

However, now is obviously not the time to dig out the traitor. "Tell the brothers to take their bows and crossbows, hide the important things, and gather in the front yard."

"Yes, county lord."

Lin Xiaoyue quickly came up with a plan to deal with the situation. At her command, all the guards moved as fast as arrows from a bow. She led Xiaocao and Ergou who had come running to the front yard first.

After opening the gate, Lin Xiaoyue and the other two widened their eyes. This was the first time she had seen such a shocking war scene since she came to this dimension.

Outside, flames shot up into the sky, blood splattered everywhere, and the sounds of wailing, fighting, and weapons colliding were fiercely intertwined. Dozens of enemy soldiers in black armor were running around in the streets and alleys like ghosts, holding knives. These people had ferocious faces and they would hack at anyone they saw without mercy.

Although this is a narrow pass with a large number of soldiers, there are more military households living with their families. Faced with the aggressive enemy, the military households rose up to resist, but the families behind them made it difficult for them to deal with the crisis.

The cruel enemy had no mercy on the unarmed civilians. They wielded their weapons wantonly and killed crazily. Wherever the swords passed, blood gushed out, dyeing the earth red.

When Lin Xiaoyue and others opened the door and came out, they saw the old people shouting in despair and the children crying in fear. The women and children were hugging their children tightly, trying to use their weak bodies to block the falling blades for them.

At the critical moment, Lin Xiaoyue didn't think twice, raised the crossbow in her hand and pulled the trigger repeatedly. "Swoosh-swoosh-swoosh-" several crossbow arrows flew out of the sheath at an incredible speed.

"Puff——" The crossbow arrows hit the heads of several enemy soldiers, blood splattered, and the enemies who were hit by the arrows staggered twice and then fell down.

"Ahhh..." The women and children who were protecting their children the moment before, the elderly who were brutally pushed to the ground by the enemy, and the children who were huddled on the ground with their heads in their arms, were too close to the enemy, so after Lin Xiaoyue shot them, blood splattered all over their faces.

At this moment, I don’t know which of my tense nerves was stimulated, but I screamed miserably at the top of my lungs.

This scene happened too quickly, not only did the people who were pulled back from the brink of life and death have no time to react, but even the enemy soldiers who were still waving their swords were also stunned. However, after a moment of shock, the enemy soldiers became even more furious, and they rushed towards Lin Xiaoyue like crazy, holding bloody swords and spears.

At this time, the guards in the courtyard also rushed over. Without time to think, everyone aimed their crossbows at the rushing enemy and shot them.

Arrows shot out like a rainstorm, and many enemies fell to the ground after being shot, but the dense enemy troops behind them still swarmed forward like a tide.

As more and more enemy troops approached them through the rain of arrows, the guards had no choice but to abandon their bows and crossbows and draw their swords to stab the enemy.

The two sides collided like surging tides, shouts of killing shook the earth. The flashes of swords and sabers gleamed coldly under the light of the fire, and every swing was filled with anger and determination.

The guards and the surrounding soldiers were fighting hard, and the sound of metal clashing continued to echo in the alley. The long spear stabbed out like a venomous snake, instantly piercing the enemy's chest; the big knife swung, bringing about a bloody storm.

Some were chopped to the ground, but they still struggled to get up and continue fighting; some were seriously injured, but they still held on to the enemy tightly, using their last bit of strength to give the opponent a fatal blow.

Soon, the blood on the ground gathered into a river, flowing on the stone road. The broken bodies on the ground were trampled by the overwhelming enemy troops behind them... In the firelight, our people and the enemy fell one after another, and the bodies were piled up in all directions, which was a horrible sight.

Thick smoke billowed from the houses engulfed by the sea of ​​fire, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood. Lin Xiaoyue and the guards tried their best to protect the people around them who kept running towards them. But more enemies raised their butcher knives behind the people, and killed them as they ran towards hope.

Ergou had just pulled a woman and child who was running towards him behind him, but the next moment, before the enemy's bloody sword fell, the woman and child screamed and pushed him out to block it.

Something unexpected happened, and no one could stop it in time. The unprepared Ergou felt the force coming down on his head almost immediately. Seeing that there was no escape, his mind went blank.

Just when his life was hanging by a thread, a guard beside him swung the big knife in his hand with force. With a "clang", the two knives collided, and the enemy's knife just passed by Ergou's face, cutting off half of his ear, and blood gushed out instantly.

However, Ergou, who escaped death, didn't care about the pain of his ear being cut. He yelled loudly, flipped the blade in his hand, and chopped off the head of the enemy who had no time to stop.

The guard who swung out with a knife to save Ergou in time was hit on the shoulder by the enemy opposite him, and blood spurted out immediately. Fortunately, the guards on both sides saw the situation and rushed forward to resist the enemy's attack, otherwise, if he was hit again, his neck would be separated from the body.
