Changyang City, the country's surname is Houfu.
Yuan Tao was wearing a large cloak and silently looked at the night in the wind and snow.
"Gu Ying, how is the war in Mei County?"
"Master, we can't attack the city for half a day, or we may have to attack again tomorrow."
"Where's the little boss?"
"It should be time to enter the city."
"Gu Ying, what time is it?"
"Master, in the middle of the Frost Moon..."
Yuan Tao turned around silently, wrapped himself in a large cloak and walked back. Gu Ying, who was beside him, quickly picked up the stove and followed him into the house.
…
The wind and snow roared by all night. Until dawn, the group of people in a small cellar in Mei County still felt cold.
"My dear boss, I didn't dare stay awake all night, thinking about what my father told me." Dong Wen rubbed his eyes and started to lament.
You haven't slept all night, and your snoring is shaking the sky.
"Eat some dry food first." Xu Mu said in a condensing voice. Two or three heroes from the Qinglong Camp hurriedly took out the dry food and distributed some to each of them.
Not long after, another burst of fighting sounds faintly reached the ears.
"The officers and soldiers are attacking the city again."
"These officers and soldiers are like old dogs that have collapsed from the cold. If they had been more ruthless yesterday, they would have broken the city long ago."
As soon as a Liangzhou guard finished speaking, suddenly, a heavy banging sound was heard outside the house, which shook the whole house as if it was shaking.
"This, this is?"
"No, the officers and soldiers have moved and collapsed!"
As soon as the voice fell, the young prince Dong Wen immediately hugged his head and shrank into the corner in fear.
"At this moment, the rebels can no longer hold on."
"Huh? Why did the rockfall stop again? It only rang two or three times."
Xu Mu also frowned. According to his original idea, after the war, he simply revealed his identity as Viscount and left with Dong Wen and others.
What's going on now? Not only did the rockfall stop, but the sound of the flying arrows whizzing seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.
"My boss, the rebel reinforcements are coming!" A hero from the Qinglong Battalion hurriedly walked into the cellar.
"Reinforcements?"
Xu Mu turned his head and looked at Jia Zhou for a few times. There was a hint of astonishment in their respective eyes.
"They are indeed reinforcements. They came over with their pockmarked faces covered. The 20,000 to 30,000 officers and soldiers could not stop them at all. On the other side of the city gate, many rebels followed and rushed out, killing the heads of the officers and soldiers."
Xu Mu's face darkened.
I can’t figure out why so many things happened suddenly in a small Mei County.
The rebels took hold, the government troops attacked the city, and reinforcements from the rebels came to fight.
This seems to have been planned from the beginning.
"How many reinforcements are there?"
"Master, it's too far away to see clearly. I heard there are about tens of thousands of them."
Xu Mu rubbed his head, feeling like an outsider. He didn't belong to the rebel army or the official army. He just wanted to save people and survive.
"Brother Mu, who should I help?"
The men and horses, less than twenty, were involved in the fighting of the army and simply gave up.
"Come on, I'll wait and see if I can get out of the city."
Not wanting to stay any longer, Xu Mu calmed his voice and prepared to lead the people out of the cellar. If the time is right, maybe we can choose a city gate with less fighting and rush out of Mei County.
If I continue to stay, I guess it is not appropriate under the current circumstances.
"Uh-huh, I told you that my father didn't like me and my mother didn't like me either, so they both sent me to die."
Dong Wen's face was filled with tears, and he wanted to complain a few more words, but Si Hu cursed him and picked him up, and stepped out of the cellar like the wind.
The streets seemed to be deserted. The remaining people seemed to have closed their doors and windows and stayed in hiding.
Under the general situation, only roars and screams could be heard from time to time at the four city gates, as well as the slashing of swords and the whistling of flying arrows.
"Today in the Daping Kingdom, we will kill officials and sacrifice to heaven! Listen, little emperor, I will work together and tomorrow we will rush into the Golden Palace and overturn the Dragon Throne!"
"It's too late to live. We only have to fight for one morsel of food!"
"The mountains and rivers are shrouded in mist and rain, and ten years have passed to kill the dynasty with one sword! Forty knights from Muyunzhou have come to help the rebels and kill the dynasty!"
"Kill the dynasty!"
"kill!"
Beside the city gate, roars came one after another.
"My lord, there are experts planning the situation." Jia Zhou said with a calm expression, "If the rebels in Mei County succeed in repelling the official army in this wave, the fire of the prairie fire may really be ignited."
Xu Mu's face was calm, and he suddenly didn't know where to go. To the left or to the right.
"My lord, the most fierce fighting should be at the north gate. Wei Feng's men are just outside the east gate. The direction of Zhuangzi is also closest to the east gate."
Xu Mu came to his senses instantly.
"Raise the knife."
Clang Clang Clang.
Behind him, more than a dozen heroes from the Qinglong Battalion and six Liangzhou guards raised their weapons.
"Run to the east gate!"
"The officers and soldiers want to enter the city gate and wait for reinforcements."
hold head high--
The whizzing flying arrows intertwined into a network of arrows above their heads. Fortunately, they were not directed in their direction. Instead, they were the rebels on the top of the city, and many of them fell in a pool of blood.
"Brother Mu, we've arrived at the east gate!"
Xu Mu took a breath and looked up, and found that as Jia Zhou expected, due to the arrival of rebel reinforcements, there was not much fighting at the east city gate. There were even many rebels armed with sticks and swords, trying to form a flanking attack. They roared out of the city gate and rushed towards the officers and soldiers.
"Bow bow, draw the string fully!"
Outside the city gate, several Daji captains shouted hurriedly.
"Get out of the way." Xu Mu shouted.
A team of more than 20 people quickly hid in a nearby alley, and wave after wave of transmitted feather arrows penetrated straight through.
Hundreds of rebels were shot to the ground while howling.
"Lord, don't forget the red silk."
Xu Mu paused, then remembered this, and divided the red silk into pieces, just enough to tie on the right arms of more than 20 people.
"Hurry, you are very scared! Come with me and charge!" A rebel leader, riding an old horse, happened to spot Xu Mu and others, and shouted angrily.
More than twenty people all looked at Xu Mu.
"The Great Ping Kingdom lasts for thousands of years." Xu Mu said calmly.
Sure enough, the leader of the rebel army looked happy and called Xu Mu and his party a few more words before hurriedly leading the four to five hundred people behind him to rush towards the east city gate.
"My little boss, I'm like an ant right now. Sure enough, even God won't pity me."
Dong Wen's words made Xu Mu feel uneasy for no reason.
Living in troubled times, we are all ants struggling to survive.
"Crush out of the city gate first." Xu Mu calmed down and stopped speaking.
Not far away from the East City Gate, there was already a scene of endless bloody battles. Those who fell in the snow were not only officers and soldiers, but also rebels, as well as knights in white robes and common people covered in rags.
"Mo Lianzhan, walk out of the city gate and walk into the forest." Xu Mu gritted his teeth and drank deeply.
"Brother Mu, are the officers and soldiers blocking it?"
"Then kill him!"
"My little boss, if the rebels discover our identities, they will block the way."
"Kill too!"
The people at the back all heard clearly and were momentarily affected by Xu Mu's Xiao Sha. They all raised their knives and roared towards the city gate.
Even the young prince Dong Hu picked up three or four snowballs. With a howl on his face, he hugged them tightly in his hands and started to run after them.
