The man found a small cart from nowhere and drove Jin Qing towards the city defense at high speed.
The city of Xiguo is not very big. Most of the people living in the city are the people of Xiguo and their slaves. The remaining small part are merchants, rangers and even academic sects who have traveled to various countries. disciple.
Outside the city are some residents and refugees from the outer cities who depend on Xiguo for survival but are not recognized by Xiguo.
Before the war in Xiguo, those who temporarily lived in Xiguo had dispersed, leaving only the people of Xiguo who had nowhere to go and could only wait to die.
The men drove the cart very fast, and before long they saw the walls of the outer city.
As soon as he reached the city root, the man took out a bronze dagger from his waist and handed it to Jin Qing: "Take this." This was his personal weapon for defense, but now it seemed that Gui Ji was more powerful than him. Need this thing.
Jin Qing reached out and took the dagger and looked at it carefully. The bronzes these days are all very beautifully made, and even the dagger is engraved with exquisite patterns.
It's really something that looks useless.
Jin Qing reached out and touched the blade of the bronze dagger. As expected, it curled...
The man was turning around to inquire about the war with the soldiers guarding the city, and did not notice what Jin Qing did to his precious dagger.
Jin Qing hurriedly pretended that nothing happened and stuffed the dagger into her armhole. Seeing that the man was anxious as if he had advanced menopause, she decided not to provoke him any more.
At this moment, Jin Qing was touched by her considerate behavior: she is really a considerate little angel.
The man looked at Jin Qing, hesitated several times, and finally said it out loud: "I will send you to the city wall in a while, and then go out of the city to help Ji Hou.
If the city is broken and the general who comes to rob you is a good man, you should obey him and live a good life in the future. If the other person is a villain who wants to bully you, kill him with a dagger or commit suicide! "
Perhaps it was because of Jin Qing's senses that the man's words were very sincere, and even Jin Qing's future was planned for her.
After all, these things will not happen if he doesn't say it. As a woman, Guiji still has to plan for herself first.
Jin Qing tilted her head and looked at the man sideways, forgetting to mention what happened before.
Now it seems that this man is not a bad person.
Seeing that Jin Qing didn't speak, he just tilted his head and looked at him sideways.
The man said no more, but walked Jin Qing up to the tower with heavy steps.
At this time, there was already a mess on the city wall.
Xiguo is not a big place, and Ji Hou had led men up the city wall before.
Therefore, the soldiers guarding the city were no strangers to the man. At this time, they saw the man and Jin Qing coming up.
The soldiers hurriedly said hello to the man, and then continued to focus on fighting the Chu army.
Under the city, Ji Hou's army and the attacking Chu army were already fighting together. From a distance, it was impossible to tell who was who.
There was also an siege detachment from the Chu army, which had already circled back from behind with large logs in their arms and was frantically knocking on the city gates and walls.
It seemed that Ji Hou had been surrounded and suppressed in the center by the Chu army like making dumplings.
The gate of Xiguo was closed tightly, and the people used trees to block the gate tightly, for fear of being broken by the Chu army.
But there was nothing they could do on the other side of the city wall. They could only watch the walls falling to pieces.
At this time, the city walls were built with bluestone and reinforced with an adhesive mixed with yellow mud, straw, glutinous rice paste and other materials. They were not impregnable at all.
Jin Qing stood on the city wall and looked down. Every time those logs hit the city wall, Jin Qing could feel a slight shaking from the city wall.
It seems like their "golden soup" can flow down the city wall at any time...
There were countless large urns and clay pots on the city walls, all of which were boiling hot water.
There were soldiers constantly carrying water to the city wall. Every time a vat of water was boiled, two soldiers would lift it up and pour it down.
At this time, Jin Qing could always hear the screams of the Chu army coming from below the city.
Then the logs in that part will stop attacking for a few minutes, and the people on the wall and under the wall will fight in a stalemate in this way.
There seemed to be endless boiling water on one side, while there was a steady stream of attackers on the other side.
I know there should be no danger on this side of the city wall until the boiling water runs out.
Jin Qing looked at the people who were already fighting in the distance, tossed the wooden ball in his hand twice more, and then asked 707: "What do you think of me throwing this thing down?" She thought it was okay. Simply and neatly, it's all over.
707 also replied simply and neatly: "Not very good."
You are much crueler than Chu Hou. Once this thing is thrown away, the mission will probably fail immediately, and Ji Hou will definitely die in your hands without any trace left.
Hearing 707's answer, Jin Qing also thought of this, and saw her turning back to look at the man: "How is your strength?"
The man was about to say goodbye to Jin Qing, and then leave the city through the secret passage to help Ji Hou.
After hearing Jin Qing's question, the man held his head high without even thinking: "I can pull a three-stone bow." Strength has always been his proudest point.
Jin Qing nodded: "That's enough." One stone is 120 kilograms, and three stones is 360 kilograms. It should be enough!
Seeing the man's confused look, Jin Qing didn't explain anything to him. Instead, he stuffed a wooden ball into the man's hand: "When you find your concubine, you can throw this wooden ball towards Chu Jun." Throw it in the direction.
Remember not to throw it upside down. The more people there are, the better the effect of this thing will be. "
Afterwards, Jin Qing thought for a while and added: "Throw it as far away as possible, otherwise... it will be dangerous."
After saying that, in order to increase the expected effect, Jin Qing nodded heavily: Conscience of heaven and earth, this is a serious warning from her, her heart is really broken for these ancients!
Seeing that Jin Qing was not very reliable, the man did not take her words to heart.
But he still took the wooden ball from Jin Qing's hand and stuffed it into the armhole: women are women, and they are so unreliable on the battlefield, so it's okay, just think it's a little fun given to Ji Hou by Concubine Gui.
If they could really get out of danger, he would persuade Jihou to wear the things, which would satisfy Guiji's feelings for Jihou.
Looking at the man's smooth movements, Jin Qing blinked: Hero, is life so unworthy of cherishing for you?
Seeing that Jin Qing seemed to have nothing else to do, the man bowed deeply to Jin Qing to show his gratitude to Jin Qing for his spirit of living and dying with the country.
Then the man seemed to have thought of something and whispered to Jin Qing: "My name is Xiu. If Guiji can see my family, please tell them not to collect my body for me, and not to seek death." No matter what happens to her, We all need to stay strong to survive, as only by living can we have hope.
