Shi Fuqiu watched Jiang Zhan advance with his spear and charge into the North City Gate with an irresistible force. He thought he would see the city gate open in just a few moments, and was always ready to march in with his army.
Unexpectedly, what they waited for was on the wall of the North City Tower. King Mo's soldiers held up Jiang Zhan's body and threw it down along with the bodies of the remaining archers. They also knocked down the soldiers who were trying to climb up. Climbing rebels.
The rebel army's morale was inevitably shaken and somewhat uneasy.
Shi Fuqiu clenched his teeth, his eyes were cold and sharp, filled with gloom.
who is it? He was actually able to kill Jiang Zhan!
Si Wei Cong'an, the garrison beside him, said: "Isn't it that Jiang Zhan is the number one general in the Shi family's army? How come he was defeated so quickly?"
Shi Fuqiu turned to look at Wei Congan, his already cold eyes became even sharper: "There are no generals showing up at the North City Gate. Even if Jiang Zhan is dead, the one on the opposite side will definitely not survive."
Wei Congan responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
He just sighed, never expecting that Shi Fuqiu's resistance was so strong, and his eyes wanted to dazzle him.
"If the enemy generals are as General Shi said, we should take advantage of this leaderless situation and capture them in one fell swoop." Wei Congan tried to appease Shi Fuqiu.
Shi Fuqiu snorted coldly and ordered the soldiers who climbed the tower to return to their ranks together with those who hit the city gate. The bow and arrow battalion pressed forward, and arrows all over the sky were shot towards the tower.
King Mo's soldiers quickly raised their shields to take over. Those who were a little slow fell down and fell from the tower.
"General Shi's archers are indeed well-deserved. It's an eye-opener for the general to meet him." Wei Cong'an quickly flattered.
Shi Fuqiu's complexion finally improved a little. The arrow passed through three rounds, like a sudden rain falling, and the only sound left in his ears was the "whooshing" sound of the string leaving the string and the sound of the arrow falling.
Except at the beginning, King Mo's army was overwhelmed.
At the moment, the shield can't be withdrawn, so there is no longer any whining or screaming.
Shi Fuqiu gradually realized that the bows and arrows were useless and ordered them to stop.
Wei Cong'an saw his worried expression and cursed in unison: "I don't even dare to face the enemy!"
Shi Fuqiu looked at the North City Gate Tower that suddenly became quiet again with disdain. He thought with a smile that King Mo's army was nothing more than that. He shouted arrogantly toward the tower: "Rat people."
As soon as Shi Fuqiu finished speaking, he heard a strong female voice through the North City Gate, and she sneered and said back to him: "Who do you call this rat?"
Shi Fuqiu was thinking that this female voice was very familiar to him, when he saw a female figure appearing on the tower, with long hair tied high and a ponytail flying.
The armor was draped on her body, making her look heroic, without any hint of weakness or timidity of a woman, and her eyes were full of fearlessness.
She straddled one foot on the city wall, rested her elbow on her leg, and said to Shi Fuqiu in a sarcastic manner: "Young Xiao Xiaoxiao, I beat you back then so that you crawled all over the capital, and finally you shrank in Huajieliu Lane. Under a woman's skirt. Shi Fuqiu, have you forgotten?"
! ! !
Shi Fuqiu's face was ashen, and the soldiers in front and behind him inevitably bit their lips to hold back laughter after hearing this.
Wei Congan also lowered his head, he had heard about this too.
Back then, Shi Fuqiu's father was a subordinate of Gu Shiqing. Gu Shirou had fought under his father's subordinates all over the capital since he was a child.
Therefore, Wei Cong'an also knew that Shi Fuqiu could not refute, and he did not dare to make eye contact with him at this time, which would be bad luck.
"Gu Shirou! Back then you took advantage of Prince Hui as your father and humiliated me in every possible way. If I break the city today, it will be easy for you." Shi Fuqiu pointed at the tower and was furious.
Gu Shirou glanced at the bottom of the city tower and said "tsk" twice with regret: "It's a pity... Jiang Zhan was killed by my son. Otherwise, if you ask him, the whole Shi family army will know that it was my mother back then. I humiliate you because you are the defeated general in the first place!"
The soldiers Shi Fuqiu brought back to Beijing this time were all personal soldiers, and only Jiang Zhan was an old member of the Gu family army.
Therefore, Gu Shirou was very disappointed when she scanned around and didn't see any familiar faces.
When Shi Fuqiu heard that Jiang Zhan was killed by Zhao Xingwen, he was shocked. Then he thought that if Zhao Xingwen was fine, Gu Shirou would not be able to appear on the tower. He felt relieved and retorted: "I guess your son didn't get it either." Go, I’m afraid you won’t survive.”
Gu Shirou raised her long hair and made a sound that broke through the air. She straightened her body, put away her lazy posture, and pointed directly at Shi Fuqiu: "If you have the ability, you can attack by yourself. I will let you come back without any return!"
Shi Fuqiu felt a surge of energy and blood in his chest, and he almost couldn't help but rush forward.
But he still resisted the whip-raising hand, and did not march out with his horse in the queue with a calm expression.
As the commander-in-chief who controls the entire army, he has to control the formation. How could he be yelled at by a woman and step forward to fight? Wouldn't that... actually give Gu Shirou face
Therefore, he tightened the reins, thought for a while, turned to Wei Congan and ordered: "Go!"
Wei Congan responded instinctively: "Yes."
After answering, I touched the back of my head and felt shocked... something was wrong!
He blinked his little eyes twice, looked hesitant, and hesitantly whispered to Shi Fuqiu: "General Shi, you are the one being called by name. I'm going to go... It's not appropriate, is it?"
Shi Fuqiu's eyes were full of venom: "How can the general respond to a woman's anger casually? What's the etiquette of it? What's more, I have to manage a large army."
Wei Cong'an cursed in his heart, is this an ordinary woman
I don't dare to challenge myself, so why should I force him to go and be humiliated
Shi Fuqiu saw that although he didn't say anything to refute, he tightened the reins and refused to step forward. He frowned and raised his hand and slapped his horse on the butt.
Wei Congan's horse was frightened, and he screamed and rushed forward regardless.
Unable to stop, he abandoned his horse and jumped into the air under the city wall, then jumped down.
Wei Congan stood in front of the city gate, with thousands of soldiers behind him. The arrow was already on the string and he had to fire it. If he retreated at this time, he would have no shame in staying in the army any longer. He could only bite the bullet and bow his hand to Gu Shirou. : "I've heard about Mrs. Zhao's fame in her early years for a long time, so I came here today to ask for advice!"
Shi Fuqiu was so angry when he heard this, what does a famous name mean
If she had a good name... wouldn't that be a disguised way of saying that she had a bad name back then!
Wei Cong'an actually didn't mean that. He just respected Gu Shirou from the bottom of his heart. After becoming the sect, his reputation was indeed far and wide, if not for Gu Shiqing's eagerness to marry her to Zhao Shuangquan later.
Gu Shirou may become the first female general in the Xiao Kingdom in history.
It's a pity that now everyone is his own master, and it is really not what he wants when the swords are facing each other.
Wei Cong'an put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and flew upstairs. Gu Shirou also ordered King Mo's soldiers to retreat, allowing him to go up the tower alone.
Gu Shirou smiled after seeing him stand firm. As he slashed his long whip in the air, he smiled and said, "You didn't have a chance before, but today I'll let you see him..."
