The news that Chen Guo's army was going to invade the ancient city of Yue had already spread, and the doors and windows of every household were closed.
Gu Chengfeng stood on the tower and looked around anxiously.
Finally, he waited for a large number of soldiers from Chaoyue Ancient City, but Tang Yueshan and Gu Jiao were not seen among them.
"There are people behind," said one of the soldiers.
Gu Chengfeng told them to enter the city quickly.
The wounded soldiers came wave after wave, but Gu Jiao was never seen, and a layer of frost gradually formed between Gu Chengfeng's brows.
After being with Gu Jiao for so long, how could he not guess what Gu Jiao was doing
According to the usual practice, the wounded are brought back to the city for treatment, but if they die on the way or are left with a lifelong disability, there is no way to do it, but Gu Jiao will not do this.
"You girl..."
Gu Chengfeng clenched his fists, he really regretted letting her pick up Tang Yueshan at this moment, it would be better if she stayed here.
No, if she stayed behind, the casualties of the soldiers would be much more...
Just when Gu Chengfeng was extremely anxious, the soldier beside him suddenly said, "Sir! Look!"
Gu Chengfeng looked up.
Gu Jiao is back!
She rode the most handsome and fastest horse, with the longest and heaviest gun, and rushed all the way!
She also rushed back with Tang Yueshan and his soldiers.
And not far behind the group, Chen Guo's iron cavalry was chasing after him frantically.
Chen Guo's army has already recollected that they were tricked, and the reinforcements from the imperial court did not arrive at all. Everything was just a few soldiers pretending to be mysterious and suspicious!
In order to find their way back, more than 4,000 iron riders from Chen Guo, with the momentum of breaking through mountains and rivers, launched a frantic pursuit of Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan and the others!
On the city tower, Cheng Taishou saw this thrilling scene, his legs softened with fright, his body swayed, and he almost hit the wall!
He was shocked and said: "Oh! Chen Guo's army is here! Close the city gate! Close the city gate!"
"No off!" Gu Chengfeng shouted fiercely!
Cheng Taishou persuaded bitterly: "Sir! It's too late! You don't think about yourself, you have to think about the people in the city! I know that Marshal Tang and another adult are outside, but for them ten A few lives, and the lives of all the people in the city…”
He couldn't say anything after that.
Regardless of whether he was really thinking about the people in the city or he was greedy for life and fear of death, one thing Gu Chengfeng had to admit was that once the cavalry of the Chen State came in, the city gate would no longer be able to close.
The army of Chen State will drive straight in, and the people in the city will suffer the flames of war, and life will be devastated!
But Gu Jiao is still down there!
"Sir!" Cheng Taishou looked at Gu Chengfeng with choked sobs.
Gu Chengfeng clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly: "Wait... wait."
Six hundred steps, five hundred steps, four hundred steps…
Cheng Taishou was very anxious: "Sir! Can't wait any longer! The city gate didn't close all at once!"
The city gates are heavy and heavy, and they are all on winches. It takes dozens of guards to pull the iron cables at the same time to slowly close them.
One hundred steps.
Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth: "... close the city gate!"
Cheng Taishou hurriedly said to the guards on the side: "Quick! Quickly inform the gate of the city!"
Dozens of guards guarding the city pulled up the iron rope on the winch, the winch slowly turned, the city gate began to close, and outside the city gate, the ingenuity spread on the moat also began to slowly rise.
Gu Jiao took the lead, her horse was good and she could easily step on it, but she made an emergency stop in front of the city gate!
She tightened the reins, turned around and said, "The wounded soldiers go first!"
The two wounded soldiers rode their horses onto the bridge, which was raised one foot.
Immediately afterwards, she let Hu Dongqiang and the archers go to the bridge in turn.
When the last archer got on the bridge, Chen Guo's cavalry launched an attack on them, and the arrows shot overwhelmingly.
Gu Jiao rode over, leaned out, grabbed the archer and threw it onto the bridge.
At this point, the bridge was already halfway closed, and the horse could not get on it.
"Stop! Stop!" Gu Chengfeng said loudly.
"Can't stop!" Cheng Taishou said.
The aircraft bridge rose faster as it went to the back, and the aircraft bridge was about to close, while Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan were still outside.
While dodging the bows and arrows of Chen Guo's cavalry, Tang Yueshan grabbed Gu Jiao and threw her on the bridge!
Everything just happened in a flash, and when Gu Jiao fell off the bridge, the bridge closed with a bang behind her!
There was only the last gap left in the city gate.
Gu Jiao slid and rolled into the back of the city gate.
Since then, the gates have also been closed.
Tang Yueshan rode on a steed, holding a saber, and looked at the four thousand cavalrymen of the state of Chen rushing towards him as if at home.
Chen Guo's cavalry's archery skills are not very good, but if ten thousand arrows are fired at once, there will always be a few that can hit Tang Yueshan.
"Fire arrows!"
The overwhelming arrows shot densely towards Tang Yueshan, Tang Yueshan did not have any shield to cover, he only had a long sword in his hand.
Just when Tang Yueshan was about to be shot into a sieve, a vigorous figure volleyed down, and a whip came over, wrapping Tang Yueshan's waist and abdomen.
"superior!"
Following Gu Chengfeng's order, the soldiers on the tower struggled to pull the rope and pulled the two up together!
And almost at the same moment, hundreds of arrows penetrated the position where Tang Yueshan was standing, and shot in salvo on the city wall!
…
This battle is no longer the life and death of any one person, but the life and death of the people in the city, and the blessing and misfortune of the mountains and rivers of the Zhao Kingdom.
At the moment of national feud, no matter how big the grievances are, they are all personal grievances.
Gu Chengfeng and Tang Yueshan went down the tower and saw Gu Jiao who was treating the wounded in the temporary military tent.
Gu Jiao didn't know that Tang Yueshan was rescued.
The moment she entered the city, the city gate was closed.
It was Tang Yueshan who sacrificed her chance to survive and threw her in, she understood that, but she would not sleep in the emotions it brought.
She quickly entered a state of combat readiness.
Her calm and decisiveness once again shocked Tang Yueshan.
If he hadn't seen everything she had done before, Tang Yueshan would have thought she was a cold-blooded person.
Tang Yueshan and Gu Chengfeng saw that she was fine, so they didn't come forward to disturb her.
Tang Yueshan took over the defense of the ancient city of Yue. The 2,000 infantry and 500 archers he brought back from Yecheng, plus the 5,000 troops in the city, totaled 7,500 people and nearly 600 wounded.
All the wounded soldiers requested to fight, but after Gu Jiao's assessment, she believed that she could fight before returning to the team to fight.
In addition, nearly half of the 5,000 troops in Yuegu City were recruited from the people temporarily, and these people would not rush to the front line to die.
Tang Yueshan picked out the trainees who had martial arts skills and joined the camp in the rear, while those without martial arts stayed behind the towers, mainly responsible for assisting ordnance attacks, such as throwing stones.
In addition, weapons and armor are not enough.
Tang Yueshan asked his subordinates to convene blacksmiths in the city and let them forge overnight.
"and many more."
"Marshal Tang, what other orders do you have?"
Tang Yueshan paused and said to Lieutenant General Li, "Forge another pair of armor."
Nearly 20,000 troops from the Chen Kingdom were approaching the city, and the whole of Wuyangyang was like a giant beast that could engulf the ancient city of Yue at any time.
The doors and windows of the people in the city were closed, and everyone was in danger.
There was not much food and grass in the prefect's mansion. Because there was no garrison, the food and grass were only enough for more than 2,000 guards. Now there are 5,000 more mouths, and the granary of the prefect's mansion has become stretched instantly.
Gu Chengfeng's task was to buy food and grass from the people in the city.
Go with Master Hu.
"Go to the rice grain shop in the city first." Gu Chengfeng said.
Master Hu took Gu Chengfeng to a rice grain shop near the city tower.
The door of the rice grain shop was already closed, but when the official came to the door, the boss still did not dare to close the door and disappear.
"How much rice and grain are there in your shop, sell them all to me." Gu Chengfeng said to the boss.
The boss gave Gu Chengfeng a suspicious look.
"Is it gone?" Gu Chengfeng asked.
"Ah... Yes, yes!" The boss bravely handed over the rice grains in the shop, "Master Guan, that's all, there's no more."
"How much is it?" Gu Chengfeng said as he took out his purse.
The boss was startled again, this time he was sure that he heard correctly, this official is really here to buy food, not to... collect food.
The boss took out the abacus, tapped it for a while, and said cautiously, "Five taels in total."
Gu Chengfeng gave him the silver.
Holding the silver in his hand, the boss was stunned for a while, but he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After Gu Chengfeng went out after buying the food, he found that there were some spying heads on the street at some point.
Every household opened a crack in the door, and the people looked at Gu Chengfeng curiously and fearfully.
A young boy about the same age as Xiao Jingkong ran out. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, nor is he afraid of the official.
He came to Gu Chengfeng, raised his head, and asked in a milky voice, "Are we going to die? Are you guys going to run?"
His mother rushed out, hurriedly took him into her arms, and covered his small mouth.
"My lord, forgive me! My lord, forgive me!" The woman knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Chengfeng to admit her mistake.
"Won't."
A cold and clear voice sounded not too far away.
It was Gu Jiao who brought Hu Dongqiang to the pharmacy in the city to get herbal medicine.
She stood in front of Xiaowa and the woman, pointed to Tang Yueshan, who was ordering troops at the entrance of the tent, and said, "Did you see that person? He is the Marshal of the World's Armed Forces, and all the soldiers of Zhao Kingdom obey his orders."
The little baby looked at the tall and tall Tang Yueshan: "Wow!"
Gu Jiao pointed at Gu Chengfeng again: "And him, he is the second young master of the Gu family army. The Gu family army is the most powerful army in Zhao Kingdom. They are on their way and will arrive soon."
The little doll looked at Gu Chengfeng, who was facing the wind in Yushu again: "Wow!"
Gu Chengfeng was seen by the innocent and adoring eyes of the child with complicated emotions and high emotions. For the first time, he felt the burden on his shoulders. He took a deep breath, as if talking to the little baby, but also as if he was talking to the whole street. The people said, "That's right! My eldest brother will be here soon! He brought 100,000 Gu family troops! Don't worry, Yue Gucheng will be saved! Even if we fight to the last person, we will definitely defend this city!"
I saw everyone asking why you need tetanus, um... In fact, I installed a squat machine at home, but I accidentally overturned the car. When unpacking, I cut a thin, deep and long finger with a newly bought knife , the bleeding is a bit heavy. Tetanus bacillus is an anaerobic bacteria. Generally, this kind of deep and airtight opening is safe, and doctors will recommend an injection. That kind of skin opening is not conducive to the growth of tetanus bacillus.
Today is the injured Fang Fangzai o(╥﹏╥)o
