The battle lasted until dusk. In the ancient city of Jinwuluo, the winding stone walls were stained with blood, so red that it was eye-catching.
The enemy troops were also completely stunned.
Liu Ruyan clamped her horse's belly tightly and stabbed with the cherry spear in her hand, but the enemy soldiers in front of her were gathering more and more. She looked towards the rear formation and could vaguely see the Song army's siege commander.
She immediately turned her gun around, no longer wanted to fight, and fled towards the city gate.
When the enemy soldiers behind him saw this, they immediately pursued him and intercepted him, all trying to kill the man on the horse to gain military merit.
After the horse galloped ten feet away, she suddenly tightened the reins, turned around and leaned towards the horse's back, leaned back, raised her arms, and triggered the hidden arrow in her sleeve.
The arrow passed over the horse's hooves, grazed the grass, passed over layers of soldiers, and penetrated the eyebrows of the armored commander in the chariot.
The head coach of the Song Army fell to the ground and died.
The strong recoil made her arms numb. She narrowed her eyes and fired a few more arrows at the nearby enemy troops.
This set of sleeve arrows came from Gong Shuyu's hand. The arrow was smeared with poison and the blood sealed his throat. Therefore, he shot out with one arrow and was killed on the spot.
The sudden death of the enemy's commander was undoubtedly a great encouragement to the Hedong Army defending the city. Even the temporary soldiers who had never gone into battle to kill the enemy became more and more courageous in the battle.
When the last trace of clouds faded from the sky, the enemy army regained its strength and began a new round of siege.
Liu Ruyan looked at the endless stream of soldiers in front of them and slew them all. She shouted urgently and rode in. The armor on her body had already been stained with blood and was mottled in the night.
Within the city.
Qiu Shi moved around uneasily.
Gong Shuyu was so shaken by her that he felt dizzy: "I said you can't just sit quietly for a while and stop dangling around."
Qiu Shi looked back and looked at the drip for a while: "That girl has been gone for a day and a night, and even a strong man can't bear it. Isn't it already..."
"Bah, bah, bah -" Gongshu Yu hurriedly stood up, poked out of the camp, and saw the flames of war outside the city filling the night sky, "Brother Dong has also gone to help, she is a lucky person, she will come back safely, she will."
!”
outside the city.
Liu Ruyan closed her eyes for a moment, and large beads of sweat rolled down her eyelashes to the corners of her lips, mixed with a salty smell.
Around her, dozens of strong soldiers gathered around her, looking at her as if they were looking at the end of a powerful crossbow.
Liu Ruyan curled up her hands and raised the iron shield in her hands, which could barely block a few arrows. The next shower of arrows followed closely, and none of them hit the mount beneath her.
Yebai shuddered, raised his head to the sky and hissed, and suddenly ran towards the west side of the city wall. At this time, strong soldiers swarmed in, but he raised his front hooves and stepped on the strong soldiers blocking the front, creating a gap.
.
The arrows chased the man and the horse, and Ye Bai galloped past, as fast as the wind and rain.
The archers took turns shooting arrows, and just as the war horses arrived at the west side of the city wall, several arrows flew in quickly and pierced the horse's belly.
Ye Bai tilted his body, the man on horseback fell to the ground, and the enemy soldiers surrounded him again.
It whined in a low voice, and then stood up unsteadily, using its black and silky body to cover her from the bloody storm outside.
The group of soldiers surrounded it, holding swords, guns, swords and halberds, swearing coldly, and penetrated hard at the obstructing horse.
Blood surges like spring water.
Liu Ruyan's back was against the wall, and her front was stained with bright red horse blood.
The war horse's breath was quivering until it could no longer stand still and fell in front of her. The horse's long neck looked towards her. Its clear eyes had never been so cloudy before, and tears actually flowed from her eyes.
Liu Ruyan lowered her body and held out her hand towards it.
Ma Ju rubbed his head against the palm of her hand, so weakly that he could barely feel the movement.
Yebai——Yebai——
It pressed against her hand and closed her eyes completely.
The soldier stepped astride his horse and pointed his knife at her.
She immediately raised her eyes, her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison.
The soldier was stunned by this momentum, but only for a moment, he came back to his senses and shouted: "Killing this man will achieve military merit, but don't let him run away!"
Ye Xun flashed out of thin air, looking at this formation, he was determined to fight to the death: "Host, keep the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood, it's important to save your life, run away quickly!"
If she dies in battle, Ye Xun will also "die".
Liu Ruyan swung the Hanyue Knife, the tip of the knife was filled with true energy, and her fingers pierced into the flesh and blood.
She would kill anyone she saw, even if she was slashed in the back by a soldier, leaving her skin and flesh writhing and terrifying.
Amidst the chaos, someone climbed up the city wall and beat the leather drum upstairs. The sound of the drum hit my ears again and again, like a drop of hot oil splashing into the bottom of the water, from far to near, and finally boiled into billowing smoke, starting a prairie fire.
Thousands of miles.
The soldiers turned back one after another, and the closed city gate suddenly opened behind them.
"All Hedong soldiers listen to the order and put down their weapons——"
"Return immediately——"
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, dressed in plain clothes and a white hat, bowed at the gate of the city with all the civil and military personnel of the dynasty, and with the word "Return", he wandered in this red land where millions of corpses were lying and there was blood for thousands of miles.
Falling?
Liu Ruyan murmured and looked at Nuo Da's city gate.
"Did you see that the majestic king is kneeling down to us and begging us to surrender?"
"Bah, if I had known that today, why would I bother to do so in the first place? Sooner or later, the country east of Hedong will be destroyed and its owners will change."
"What should I do with this kid? He killed so many of our brothers before?"
"I let him repay his blood debt with blood."
A soldier touched Liu Ruyan's back, picked up the crossbow on the ground, and took aim secretly.
Ye Xun was very frightened: "Someone is shooting a hidden arrow, host, hide quickly!"
She looked in the direction of the city gate, unmoved.
"Host—Host—"
She closed her eyes: "It's all about fate."
The unification of Kyushu is her destiny, and it is also her destiny that she cannot defend the city.
The arrow shot out of the air, and Liu Ruyan suddenly turned around and slashed the flying arrow with her sword.
She knew that those soldiers were unwilling to give up and made it clear that they wanted to kill her.
"We can't let anyone escape. Kill this kid and avenge the brothers in the camp!"
When Dong Qingxian found the person, he saw Liu Ruyan covered in blood and surrounded by a group of fierce soldiers.
He was so angry that he was trembling. He threw his sharp sword at a fierce soldier in the air, and the sword's mouth immediately penetrated the chest. Dong Qingxian didn't even look at it, he pulled out the bloody sword with one hand, and killed the other soldiers in a few ups and downs.
"Qingxian——" She opened her dry mouth, but her voice was hoarse.
"Let's go! The man took her through the city gate.
After entering the city, Dong Qingxian placed her in an abandoned house, covered her with a quilt, and said in a low voice: "I haven't eaten a grain of rice all day and night, I'll go make some rice porridge, don't starve myself."
"
Liu Ruyan didn't say a word and closed her eyes silently.
This body has been tortured a lot, and it will take several months to recover.
Dong Qingxian raised his hand and wiped her forehead, which showed signs of feeling a little hot.
He twisted a wet wipe and wiped it bit by bit. He repeated this for a long time, and gave her a few mouthfuls of sugar water mixed with honey.
The disfigurement on his face was gradually washed away by him, revealing the pale white inside. Even his lips did not show a trace of blood. Dong Qingxian looked at it for a while, and his heart felt like it was being pulled by someone, swollen, and he could not help but feel pain.
Thinking of her usual smiling face, he turned away and couldn't bear to look at her anymore.
