"No! I want to go up and take a look. If I have a chance, I will rush out and report the news!" Yan Laoer said firmly, regardless of whether the elder agreed or not, he rushed up with a strong energy.
The voice of their conversation was so low that except for those close by, even those further away could not hear clearly.
When I saw him coming up, I subconsciously thought it was the elder who had given me permission, so I gave him a little space.
Yan Laoer had never run so fast before, and he rushed up while holding his breath.
Unfortunately, the old man still reacted and shouted: "Stop him."
Several people were about to stop him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, another wave of attacks from Beirong came.
Arrows filled the sky and scattered over the city wall.
Some people were accidentally injured, and some people dodged left and right.
Yan Laoer's blood surged, and he gritted his teeth and rushed upward regardless.
Finally, he was allowed to run up the tower.
A veteran next to him pulled him hard.
"Don't risk your life, lower yourself!"
He dragged Yan Laoer until he almost fell over.
When you see someone getting shorter, you stop caring about them.
Move the stone and put it on the trebuchet, pour kerosene on it, light it, and put it on!
The burning flint flew out, and then a bang was heard.
The Beirong outside the city were barking wildly, the horses were neighing, and they were also a little frightened.
The old soldier chuckled and wiped his face. Two streaks of black rubbed onto his cheeks, but he didn't notice it.
"You bastards, I'll crush you to death!"
He muttered and got ready again.
Yan Laoer imitated his example, squatting and moving, approaching the edge of the city wall with difficulty, leaning against the city wall, taking deep breaths to suppress his nervous emotions.
He stared hard at the veteran and saw him doing it again.
He took advantage of this brief moment to turn around and poke his head around.
The moment when sparks burst out.
The Beirong outside the city was slightly illuminated...
When Yan Laoer went up, he didn't care.
I stumbled when I came down, and real fear hit me.
He climbed on the donkey and ran away without even saying a word to the great master.
The elder didn't care about him and was directing people to transport more stones and kerosene.
…
"There are a lot of Beirong outside the city. I estimate there are several hundred people." Yan Laoer tried hard to recall and said: "It's better not to rush forward. They take turns shooting arrows and don't let us take a breath. On top of our city
"It's bright, it's dark over there. They can see us clearly, but we can't see them clearly. We'll suffer a loss when shooting arrows. It's most effective to use a trebuchet. The stones are poured with kerosene and are smashed down one by one, making them scream."
"Later I learned to master it. After shooting the arrow, I stepped back. The range of the trebuchet was limited and could not hurt any of them."
Yan Xiangheng thought for a moment and said: "It's not like they are attacking the city, they are just holding the tigers to prevent us from moving."
"The border defense has been broken and Huju is surrounded. Without these two places, the villages and towns below have no resistance." Yan Yu drew a circle on the ground with a stone.
"Huju has so much grain, and the grain tax only accounts for a part of it, and it is the smallest part. The remaining two pieces, one is scattered among the villages, and the other is in our village."
"If I were Beirong, I would definitely grab food quickly when the reinforcements arrive. Xiao'an Village has a lot of food, but the distance is long, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. It's not as convenient as the nearby villages, and it's more accessible.
so……"
"There are no more than two types, first close and then far, or simultaneously."
Yan Yu's voice was very steady, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.
"If they want to surround Huju, they must also guard the way back, and then go plunder everywhere. How many more people can there be after dividing the troops? There will never be more people than those surrounding Huju. As long as our village can hold on to
Reinforcements are coming..."
Yan Laoer said anxiously: "I will go back immediately to report the news. They are far away from the city gate. There is a chance!"
Yan Xiangheng also wants to fight for it.
Yan Yu took the painting on the ground and touched it with his foot.
He said loudly: "Don't grab it, I'll go!"
She immediately explained the reason for her advantage: "I am small, it is dark, and I am riding low on a donkey, so they can't see clearly. What's more, I also thought of a way to prevent them from shooting at me."
"What method?" Yan Laoer and Yan Xiangheng asked at the same time.
…
Yan Yu convinced her father and eldest brother.
It is true that she can ride a donkey cross-legged, huddled together, and is so small, it is indeed something they cannot do.
All the furnaces in the government office were ruthlessly demolished by Yan Laoer.
The iron pipes were unfolded and surrounded Yan Yu piece by piece. They were tied tightly with hemp ropes to form an iron bucket, covering her tightly.
Even the donkey was not spared and was covered with many iron pieces.
It's a little uncomfortable to run, but it doesn't matter. As long as you run through the most difficult section, the iron pieces on your body can be thrown away.
When a donkey covered in iron appeared at the city gate.
Everyone:…
The old man kept refreshing the screen in his mind:
Nonsense! Nonsense! Nonsense!
But he never said it out loud.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a good idea.
But, wouldn't it be better to switch to riding a horse?
Yan Laoer hurriedly explained: "When you rush out of the city, you have to walk through the woods on a small path. Horses can't do it, and donkeys can't move as fast as they can."
Everyone agrees with this.
"There aren't that many iron pieces, so they can't be covered..." Yan Laoer said again.
Everyone expressed their understanding.
The iron sheets protect people strongly.
The old man asked: "Who is inside?"
Riding a donkey without even seeing its legs is such an amazing riding skill!
Yan Laoer opened his eyes and told lies: "He is my eldest nephew."
"Yan Xiangheng" couldn't wait any longer and didn't want to waste any more time, so he rode a donkey to the city gate.
"How can he see the road when he's blocked?" The old man suddenly thought of this question and wanted to go over to see more clearly, but was stopped by Yan Laoer.
Said: "There are holes, but they are small. You can't see them clearly at night."
"Open the door quickly, sir, please!"
The elder sighed: "Xiang Heng, you must be careful!"
"Open the door!"
As soon as the door opened, the Beirong outside looked like mosquitoes that had smelled blood, and their horses came after them.
As for the city gate opening, take the opportunity to attack?
What were you thinking? You only opened that crack, and before they could run over on horseback, the city gate was tightly closed.
And the person who ran out at this time must be very crucial.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of arrows piercing the air was not very clear, and Yan Yu had to prick up his ears to hear it.
But occasionally the sound of arrows hitting the iron barrel was extremely loud.
She held on tightly to the reins, crossed her legs and lowered herself, relying on her own body to hold the donkey's neck to maintain balance.
"Run quickly and get rid of them!"
As soon as the donkey accelerated, the iron pieces on its body made a rattling noise.
Yan Yu made a quick decision and ripped off all the iron pieces from the donkey's body.
It would have taken a little more effort for anyone else, but she could do it with ease.
I don’t know how long I ran.
She only knew that the donkey was running very fast, and the sound of "dang-dang-dang-dang" was gone.
Yan Yu was cruel and lowered her legs.
After adjusting its posture, the donkey felt something and its hooves were flying!
Looking from a distance, a man with a small iron barrel is riding a donkey and running wildly in the night, with lightning flashing...
