Chapter 458 After the cold light, it’s Shang Ruyi!
As soon as he heard this, Shang Ruyi turned around quickly.
Yu Wenzhen, who was standing behind her, only looked slightly stunned. The next moment, a faint smile appeared on his face and he put away the handkerchief silently.
However, no one on the tower noticed them, and everyone looked eagerly forward.
Sure enough, in the fiery and dazzling light of the setting sun that was almost igniting the entire earth, they finally saw a team appearing in the distance, slowly walking towards the city tower. More than twenty huge waterwheels were clearly visible, and the leader was Ma Xu.
The soldiers around him all breathed a sigh of relief, and some even couldn't help cheering when they saw the heavy, slow-moving waterwheel.
“They are back!”
The water supply in the city can finally get some relief!
While everyone around was jumping for joy, Shang Ruyi unexpectedly appeared to be extraordinarily calm in the boiling atmosphere and blazing sunshine. She calmly watched the gun slowly move forward. of the team, his eyes slid from the leader, Ma Xu, to the end of the team. The person walking at the end of the team was Song Yu.
It’s Song Yu...
Just when everyone was cheering and excited, Yin Changyue and Dai Junliang were also overjoyed. Dai Junliang hurriedly sent an order to the bottom of the city tower: "Get ready, open the city gate!"
When the soldiers below the city tower heard this, they immediately Take down the heavy and thick bolt of the city gate.
With a "squeak", the huge city gate slowly opened.
Just as the team approached the city tower and was about to enter the city gate, suddenly, a loud horn sound came from the lush forest on one side of the river bank!
This long and high horn sound suddenly shocked everyone present.
This is——
The next moment, I saw that the silent forest suddenly began to shake, as if a hurricane suddenly blew up, causing the leaves to sway non-stop, smoke and dust to rise, and even the front was covered in an instant. The golden and dazzling sunlight was blocked, and the team transporting the water tanker was also shocked and lost their reaction for a moment, until they saw a tall and familiar figure leading the way and rushing out of the dense forest!
It’s Xue Xian!
I saw him wearing armor and holding a moon knife. He rushed towards us like a tiger coming out of the gate. Before the people in the team could even react, he chopped down two of them with one blow.
"Xue Xian! It's Xue Xian!"
In the team, a shrill and frightening scream had just sounded, and was immediately swallowed up by a rumbling roar. Everyone opened their eyes wide and saw more people following Xue Xian rushing out of the dense forest, escorting the water. The queue of cars was suddenly disrupted!
For a while, panicked shouts spread all over Fufeng.
At this time, Ma Xu, who was leading the team at the front, turned around and was even more shocked - ever since he left the city gate, he had been looking forward to meeting Xue Xian's men so that he could kill them. The enemy has made meritorious service, so he keeps looking towards the Hexi case to be on guard against anyone rushing over there. Unexpectedly, Xue Xian's men and horses stayed with them, hiding in the dense forest.
When he looked carefully, he discovered that all the horses ridden by Xue Xian's men had their mouths muzzled and their hooves wrapped with cloth. No wonder they had been riding for such a long time. I didn't hear any strange sounds coming from the dense forest. Even if there was some faint shaking, I just thought it was the sound of branches and leaves swaying in the wind blowing through the woods.
How can these people last so long!
However, I finally met it!
When Ma Xu thought about this, his heart surged with passion. He immediately slapped the horse with his sword and was about to rush forward.
As if he had expected that he would charge forward, Xue Xian slashed the charging soldier head-on with his sword. Two streams of blood rose into the sky, dyeing his eyes red. Xue Xian With a roar, and with a murderous aura that was stimulated by blood and became even more fierce, he brandished the Yanyue Sword and rushed towards Ma Xu.
As soon as he saw him, Ma Xu's body suddenly stiffened.
These days, he only thinks about making meritorious deeds to wash away the previous humiliation, completely forgetting how the humiliation of that day came about. But at this moment, looking at Xue Xian's red eyes, his memory It was as if I had found it all of a sudden.
That day, he faced the opponent in the same way. Xue Xian almost cut him off his horse with a knife.
Just like this moment——
For a moment, the horrifying memory seemed to hold his heart like an invisible black hand. Ma Xu suddenly felt his body stiffen, and the knife he was waving in his hand could not be lifted. He couldn't get up, but Xue Xian had already waved the blood-stained Yanyue Sword in his hand and slashed at him!
Fortunately, the two lieutenants nearby saw this situation and hurriedly raised their knives and blocked Xue Xian's blow.
However, even if the two people worked together, they were still almost knocked off their horses by Xue Xian's knife. The two gritted their teeth, struggled to hold Xue Xian's knife, and shouted: "General, leave quickly!"
Ma Xu's heart trembled.
At this moment, a sharp and harsh gong sound came from the tower behind them.
You are telling them to retreat!
“Quick, get into the city!”
“Don’t worry about the waterwheel, get back!”
"Get ready to close the city gate!"
At this moment, Ma Xu didn't care much. He could only shout loudly in the voice of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops: "Hurry, enter the city quickly, don't worry about the water tanker!"
After saying that, he left the people behind him and galloped towards the city gate!
As soon as he ran away, the people around him couldn't care less. They all dropped the heavy waterwheel and dispersed towards the city gate, running away as if they were running for their lives!
While everyone was in chaos, Shang Ruyi was still standing on the tower, watching the massacre below. Even the rising loess and smoke were gradually stained with blood, but her eyes were unexpectedly cold. .
At this time, a calmer voice sounded beside him -
"I didn't expect that Xue Xian was waiting here."
Without looking back, he knew it was Yu Wenzui.
Shang Ruyi said solemnly: "Before the expedition, my father said that Xue Xian is brave and good at planning. He is not a general who only knows how to fight tough battles. He should have figured it out long ago. There will be people fighting for water in the city. army He was just waiting for this opportunity to attack the city."
Yu Wenzhen said calmly: "Why can he calculate that the city must need water?"
"Because of Feng Chen's illness."
Speaking of this, Shang Ruyi's voice became more hoarse and said: "In the previous attack, he should have seen that there was something wrong with Feng Chen's body. Question, after holding on to the fortified city for the past few days, he must have become more certain about this. Point."
"..."
"Perhaps, this is the reason why he wanted to build that Jingguan."
Yu Wenzui said: "So, he. Was he the first person to know that Feng Chen would fall ill?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, turned to look at him, and said with twinkling eyes: "He must not be the first."
The corners of Yuwen's lips pursed slightly: "Oh?"
"..."
"Who knew it first?"
At this moment, a somewhat panicked voice interrupted the conversation between the two, but it was Yin Changyue. He pushed aside the panicked crowd on the tower because he accidentally heard the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops, walked over and asked loudly: " Who, who ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops?" Everyone around them opened their eyes wide and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Dai Junliang stepped forward: "It's me."
"You?"
Yin Changyue was shocked. It was clear that Dai Junliang had been there before They both agreed with him to let Song Yu and Ma Xu go out of the city to collect water. Naturally, the priority should be to collect water at this time, but why did he order the withdrawal of troops at this time?
After all, Yin Changyue was just a supervisor and did not understand military affairs, but at this time he was a little panicked: "The water has not entered the city yet, why did you ask for money to withdraw the troops? Shouldn't-"
Dai Junliang did not speak, only He turned his face sideways and glanced to the side.
Yin Changyue's heart skipped a beat. Following his gaze, he saw Shang Ruyi slowly turning around and calmly said to him: "Master Yin, water is important, but now , Xue Xian has already reached the tower. Now, if you still care about the water and let them attack the city, you will be dead right now."
"..."
"At this time, it is still clear what is more important. ”
Yin Changyue looked at her and was a little stunned for a moment.
Not only did the attitude of these two people suddenly change, but what was even more strange was that he found that the general's wife, who had never been dictating military matters, suddenly appeared on the tower at this time and walked into everyone's eyes. In front of me, it seems that I am waiting for this moment, and even more waiting for the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops!
She seems like, what is she going to do?
Yin Changyue couldn't react for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the prince who was standing behind the general's wife, always maintaining a calm and indifferent smile, but saw that he was looking at Shang Ruyi, as if he was also waiting. What are you wearing?
What exactly is it?
Just when Yin Changyue was so panicked that he could not react at all, the shouts of killing below had already shaken the entire tower. Yin Changyue turned his head and looked down again. Ma Xu had already fled back to the city with his people, but Song Yu and others But because he was walking at the back of the team and the farthest away from the city gate at this time, he was about to miss the time when the city gate closed!
At this time, Song Yu's eyes turned red with anxiety.
He waved his whip as hard as he could to beat the horse beneath him, silently reciting Amitabha in his heart, hoping that he could enter the city before the city gate was closed!
At this moment, Dai Junliang’s order sounded from the tower -
“Fire the arrow!”
Suddenly, a burst of arrows rained down from above his head, and they all shot towards the bottom of the city tower. For a moment, several Longxi troops who were following Song Yu were hit by arrows and rolled off their horses.
It also gave him a moment of vitality.
However, the turnaround came quickly.
When Xue Xian saw this situation, he did not panic and immediately waved his hand to the men and horses behind him. Immediately, the men and horses still dormant in the dense forest rushed out immediately. They were a group of archers. I saw these people riding on horseback. While galloping, they drew their bows and shot at the people on the tower with a hail of arrows.
“Watch out!”
Seeing a few rays of cold light passing by, Yu Wensu stretched out his big hand and pulled Shang Ruyi back to his side.
The archer standing in front of them took the arrow and fell to the ground!
Shang Ruyi staggered and almost fell into his arms, but the moment before he fell, he forced himself to stand firm. He raised his head and glanced at him, but under the cold light of the arrow flying by, he faced He looked at those still calm eyes.
He seems to...know everything.
It seems that I am still looking at it.
This feeling made Shang Ruyi very uncomfortable, but she still kept silent and gently wiped his hand off her arm, and said softly: "Thank you, brother."
Yu Wenzuo looked down. Looking at her: "You should do what you should do now."
"..."
Shang Ruyi glanced at him, but still did not speak.
At this time, the good boy who had been following her got angry. He hurriedly picked up the copper hammer that he had put aside and rushed down the tower. He said: "Sister Ruyi, I'll go Take it out on you!”
As soon as he took a step forward, he was grabbed by Shang Ruyi.
She said: "It's not time for you to take action yet."
"...?"
The good boy looked at her with wide eyes in surprise.
But he saw Shang Ruyi turning his head seriously. The person next to him happened to come forward and immediately dragged the archer who had been hit by the arrow. Shang Ruyi was not too busy and took the bow and arrow in his hand. , just weighed it, and then skillfully stringed the bow.
At this time, Song Yu was less than a shot away from the city gate. Countless arrows flew over his head, some were shot behind him to help him escape, and some were shot from behind him toward the city tower. , causing bursts of screams, but he was already He didn't care about anything. The whip in his hand was swung like a spinning wheel. His ambition to challenge before leaving the city was completely destroyed the moment he faced Xue Xian. He just wanted the horse under him to grow wings. Come, let's take him out of this nightmare.
However, the Longxi Army behind them was hot in pursuit!
In fact, he could already hear the sound of those horses' hooves behind him, and the knives wielded by those people had even touched his saddle and back.
Quick, quick, quick!
He kept thinking about it, hoping that there would be archers on the tower who could help him shoot down the people behind him.
And immediately, as if the request in his heart was answered, there was another piercing scream in front of him, a burst of cold light pierced the sky, and flew towards behind him. Several screams sounded behind him, and those tight The man who was chasing him fell off his horse.
Song Yu felt happy -
But at this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed across, stinging his eyes like lightning, and Song Yu closed his eyes subconsciously.
The next moment, he felt the horse under him startled and stopped with a long neigh!
What's going on? !
Song Yu opened his eyes wide in horror, and saw an arrow falling in front of him. The horse's hoof was almost hit by the arrow. The horse under him was frightened and stopped immediately, letting out a long neigh of fear.
Could it be that the people on the tower shot the wrong shot?
Song Yu did not dare to neglect. Although the pursuers behind him were blocked, more people took advantage of this opportunity and rushed forward. He hurriedly turned his horse's head to avoid the arrow on the ground, and then He ran forward, but after just two steps, he heard a whoosh, and another arrow plunged into the ground in front of him, stopping his horse!
"...!"
Song Yu's heart sank, and he subconsciously raised his head and looked at the tower.
On the city tower, the archers were still hiding behind the city wall stacks. When they unloaded their arrows, they immediately stepped out and shot at the Longxi Army below. Countless cold lights shone before their eyes.
At this moment, Song Yu clearly saw a cold light aimed at him!
Behind that cold light is Shang Ruyi!
There should be more today
