Chapter 298: Dawn
Chapter 298 Dawn
"Sister Show!"
"Fang Zilan!"
Two voices went from far to near, two figures, one short and one tall, ran to Fang Zilan. It was Zhen Zhu and Awan. After confirming that she was not seriously injured, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine." Fang Zilan pointed at the ground with a sword and stood up. Awan and Zhen Zhuyi held her arms left and right, and stood up straight with her.
"Sister Xiu..." Zhen Zhu shouted timidly. Fang Zilan's hands were shaking a little, but she still held her hand tightly, "Zhen Zhu, are you afraid of death?"
"I'm not afraid." Zhen Zhu said without hesitation, but her face was obviously scared. Her palm was covered with fine sweat, wetting Fang Zilan's hands.
"You are so tired, I'm sorry." Fang Zilan's voice was low, but Zhen Zhu suddenly shook her hand away, avoided a few steps and knelt in front of her, "Sister Xiu, Zhen Zhu has been saved by you, so far
For six years, honey... My sister once taught me that if you live for a lifetime, you don’t want to live for a hundred years, but only want to die as your own. Zhen Zhu was able to come to Qiluo City to deliver a letter and accompany Sister Xiu to this time, she would die.
No complaints.”
"Silly girl." Fang Zilan stretched out her hand, Zhen Zhu put on her hand, squeezed out a smile and said, "My sister said, some people have lived in a daze for the rest of their lives, while others have only lived for more than ten years.
, but it is rich ink, rich in color and open and free, Zhen Zhu would rather be the latter."
Fang Zilan smiled and said nothing, and looked at Awan again. However, before she could speak, Awan said first: "You said you were in the capital that you would pay your life to Qiluo City. Since I agree
, there is no reason to go back on your word.”
She raised her eyebrows as she said, "But I am ugly in front of you. Don't think about dying and leaving me behind. If you die, I can't live."
"Okay." Fang Zilan nodded, "You help me down the city tower, let's see how many people are left in the city, and prepare for the deployment of the last battle."
Awan and Zhen Zhu helped Fang Zilan down from the city tower, and saw Deputy General Cao and Zhou Lang below. They were covered in dust and covered in blood. They looked extremely embarrassed, but their eyes were as firm as ever.
"Boss." Deputy General Cao limped to Fang Zilan. She waved her hand and signaled that she was fine, and then asked, "How many people are there in the city now?"
"In the city?" Zhou Lang was stunned for a moment, and then realized what she meant, "There are still soldiers and people in the city, with nearly half of the wounded soldiers."
Fang Zilan pursed her lips, "Deputy General Zhou, Lao Cao, tomorrow you will be divided into two groups, guarding the city gate and protecting the people. Count all the weapons and distribute them to everyone. Leave the bow and arrow to me, I will guard the city tower, if
There are archers in the army, so they will follow me to the city tower. As for Awan and Zhen Zhu..."
"I will follow Vice General Zhou." Awan interrupted her without hesitation, "Although I am not good at kung fu, I am awesome in poisoning and scheming. Following Vice General Zhou will not drag him down."
Fang Zilan glanced at Awan helplessly and said, "I don't plan to let you be idle. Please wait a moment, I have other arrangements. Zhen Zhu, you can follow Lao Cao among the people, remember not to be reckless, focus on saving your life.
”
"Okay." Zhen Zhu responded, and Awan said curiously: "What do you want me to do?"
"You go and distribute all the sulfur and fire salts I have collected before to the wounded soldiers. According to the drawings I gave you before, a team of five people will go to the place I marked." Fang Zilan had no expression, and Awan was shocked.
, "You mean..."
She didn't continue and Fang Zilan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, now is the last resort. Although this method is very difficult to stop the Miluo people, I would rather burn all the jade and stones to destroy everything than give it to the Miluo people.
Leave a cent and a cent."
Awan touched the drawing hidden in her arms and agreed resolutely: "Okay, I will live up to my responsibilities."
"Awan, be careful." Fang Zilan looked at her deeply, her eyes were filled with tears and smiled like flowers, "Fang Zilan, too, be careful. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, she folded her hands in front of her, bowed solemnly, and turned around and left.
"Boss, I'm going." Deputy General Cao held his fists and bowed, and Zhou Lang also bowed, "Mr. Fang, I'm going too."
Fang Zilan pushed Zhen Zhu to Deputy General Cao, took a deep breath and said, "Go, see you tomorrow." After saying that, she saluted the three of them respectfully, watched them leave, and walked back to the city tower.
All night, except for Zhou Langlai who sent a bow and an archer on the city tower, Fang Zilan had never seen anyone else, and everyone was standing on his own position.
Fang Zilan sat on the ground, half asleep and half awake, and she couldn't relax until it was dawn, and she felt that she had recovered a little of her strength.
She stood up and looked into the distance, but did not find any trace of the Miluo people, which felt a little strange. Logically, the city was about to break out, and the Miluo people could not have no movement at this time. She waited for a long time, but finally sat back.
The weather is hot in summer, and the armor on her body is uncomfortable, but Fang Zilan dares not take off her armor casually. She raised her hand and wiped her sweat. As the sun rises higher and higher, a vague thought emerges in her heart-
The people of Miluo knew that they would fight to the death and deliberately dragged the time to consume their fighting spirit and patience.
Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly, why bother? Even if they fought to the end, only hundreds of people could not stop tens of thousands of iron hooves.
"Mr. Fang." The archer next to him handed over the kettle, "Drink a little water."
"Thank you." Fang Zilan drank the water and returned the kettle. Only then did she find that the archer's left hand had no little fingers, and her whole hand was packed tightly, leaving only four fingers outside.
When the archer saw her gaze landing on his left hand, he hurriedly carried his hand behind him.
Fang Zilan said quietly: "Why are you so hurt like this? You have to go up to the city tower?"
"It's okay, I can pull the bow." The archer smiled and said, "I'm going to shoot the arrow accurately." As if he was afraid that Fang Zilan would not believe it, he took the bow next to him and was about to pull the bow but was stopped by her."
How old are you this year?"
"Eighteen years old." The archer put his bow down, and Fang Zilan's lips curled slightly, "I have a friend in the northern border, who is as big as you, and is also an archer."
The archer's eyes lit up after hearing her words. Her smile became even louder, "When the battle is over, I will introduce you to you, you can have a chance to have a conversation with him."
"Is it really possible?" The archer looked expectant, and Fang Zilan smiled and said seriously: "Of course, we, Fang Zilan, have never counted what we said."
"Thank you, Lord Fang." The archer looked at Fang Zilan gratefully and said, "Mr. Fang, my family is in Shitan Town in the southeast. The plague was severe before. If it were not Lord Fang, my family would not be able to survive. After the plague, I would have been over. I came to Qiluo City with General Chen. Last night, when Deputy General Zhou asked the archers in the camp, I came without thinking. Just to see Lord Fang, I thank you in person. Now I can fight side by side with you, I Death without regrets.”
"It is my honor to be able to fight side by side with you." Fang Zilan heard the sound of horse hooves under the city and looked at the archers beside her. The two of them picked up the bows and arrows at the same time and hid on the edge of the city wall.
The two were weak, and not long after, the archer's back of his hands was already blood red. Seeing this, Fang Zilan shouted to him: "You take a rest, I'll hold on..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw the archer passing by, and the archer fell down, his pupils suddenly magnified, and a blood flower bloomed in front of her.
Fang Zilan hid behind the wall, watching the person who was talking and laughing with her just now, and in a blink of an eye it became one of many corpses. The surging anger and powerlessness made her clench her fingers involuntarily.
The next moment, someone yelled downstairs: "The city is broken!"
Then there was a loud bang and the city gate fell heavily to the ground.
Fang Zilan picked up the plum sword and rushed down the city tower without hesitation. Her eyes were full of Miluo people, and she had only one thought in her heart.
Even if she dies, she will kill them and bury them!
It's dawn, and this battle will have a result...
Chapter completed!
