Liaozhai Great Sage

Inside the city tower, the envoy Yang jumped up in shock when he heard the news. Immediately, he thought of something and shouted: "Quickly, close the city gate and guard the city wall."

"Yes, my lord." A general responded and walked out.

Zuo Qianhu clasped his hands and said, "My lord, there are still people cleaning the battlefield outside the city, shall we close the city gate later?"

"There are only a few hundred refugees in the area, and they are not as important as the city. Don't talk too much, close the city gate quickly, and don't care about the life and death of the refugees outside the city." The envoy Yang said loudly.

Yet outside the city.

When the refugees heard the sound of the drums, a group of rebels rushed towards them shouting to fight and kill. At this moment, their faces turned pale with fright, and they ran to the city immediately without caring about cleaning the battlefield.

"Brother, brother, look, there are a lot of arrows here, and I picked up two more."

The little girl was holding seven or eight arrows, her little face was flushed from the cold, and she happily said to her brother.

At this moment, the boy panicked and said: "It seems that there is going to be a fight again, let's go into the city quickly, we can't stay outside."

"Oh."

The little girl nodded, holding the arrow and trotting forward with her brother.

But the weaker girl couldn't hold the bundle of arrows after running far. She let go of her arms and the arrows scattered all over the ground. She squatted down again, picked up the arrows one by one, and stuffed them under her armpit Hold on, after picking it up, she stretched out her red hands and let out a breath, then rubbed her legs, it seemed to warm up a bit, and then trotted forward with the arrow in her arms.

"Hey~!"

An arrow was shot from the rebels not far behind and landed next to the little girl.

The little girl's eyes lit up, she took a step with her little feet, and ran over to pick up the arrow stuck in the ground.

When she picked up this arrow, two more arrows fell beside her. She happily ran over to pick it up again, and then let out a sigh of relief at the cold little hands.

"Brother, brother, I have a lot of arrows here." The little girl said happily, arrows kept falling around her, making it impossible for her to pick them up.

Thinking that these arrows could be exchanged for steamed buns, she became elated again and picked them up one by one.

But the rebels behind her were getting closer and closer to her, less than a hundred feet away.

The young man looked back and saw his younger sister was still squatting there picking up arrows. He was frightened and hurriedly shouted: "Little sister, run quickly. Don't pick it up, those bad guys are coming."

"Oh, I'm here, brother, wait for me, I can exchange a lot of steamed buns with these arrows."

The little girl replied, and ran forward with the arrow in her arms.

But before she ran a few steps, an arrow flew over, piercing through her thin clothes and thin body.

The little girl fell to the ground, and the arrows fell to the ground again.

She struggled and tried to get up again, but her young body couldn't exert any more strength, and she couldn't get up no matter what, so she lay down on the ground and picked up the scattered arrows one by one to protect her arms.

"Little sister, how are you? Little sister, you are bleeding."

The young man ran back in panic. When he helped the little sister up, he saw an arrow protruding from the little sister's chest, and blood gushed out from the wound.

The little girl touched her chest with her little hand, and when she saw the blood on her hands, she cried: "Brother, I didn't eat enough, I fell down, and now I can't walk, I want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat steamed buns. "

The young man was at a loss, he reached out and tried to pull out the arrow stuck on his little sister, but as soon as he moved, the blood flowed faster, and the little girl who was crying to eat steamed buns soon turned pale In my arms, I didn't cry or shout.

He wiped his tears, hugged his little sister, and prepared to carry her back: "Little sister, don't cry, you will eat steamed buns once you enter the city."

"Kill!"

But before the young man could carry his little sister on his back, the rebel army rolled in behind him, instantly submerging the pair of brothers and sisters.

Next to them, seven or eight arrows were scattered, and there were two neatly bundled arrows. If they were taken to the city, they could be exchanged for ten steamed buns.

"Don't kill my child, don't kill my child."

A woman was holding a baby and ran desperately, not even wanting the weapons she picked up, but just covering the hungry crying baby with both hands and ran frantically towards the city.

This woman, who was not even in her twenties, had a look of horror on her face. She looked back, but saw that the bandits were getting closer and closer to her.

"Ah~!"

Accidentally stepped on a small pit in front of her, and her foot turned, the woman fell to the ground, and the baby in her hand rolled to the side.

"Wow..." The baby cried louder.

The woman scrambled and ran over in horror, and saw a bandit soldier passing by, and screamed: "Don't kill my child." She rushed up to protect her child.

Then she felt that someone had chopped a knife behind her, and countless feet stepped on her body. She screamed in pain, and even the bones in her arms were crushed. The woman felt that her whole body seemed to be trampled into a pile of mud .

In the end, I felt a shock in my head, and I lost consciousness again.

"Don't, my child was killed..."

At this moment, the rebels had rushed under the city wall, but the city gate was closed, and even the small gate was firmly blocked.

There were hundreds of refugees outside the gate. An old farmer was wearing an iron armor and slammed on the city gate in horror, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Open the door quickly, let us in, open the door quickly."

But behind the city gate.

A small officer was in command of the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Bring over the stones and wood, block the city gate, make it stronger."

Seeing this scene, the refugees cried and howled for a while, and wanted to rush to open the door, but were stopped by soldiers, and even a few stubborn refugees were hacked to death.

"Grandma, why hasn't grandpa come back yet, I'm hungry again."

A young child in the arms of an old woman shook her grandmother and said.

The old woman curled up in a ball with her grandson in her arms, her limbs were already stiff, and her face was icy cold.

"Grandma, wake up, why don't you talk, grandma..." said the young boy.

However, outside the city wall not far away, the old farmer who went out of the city fell into a pool of blood like other refugees. He was hit by several arrows and hugged a pair of armor tightly before he died. , to protect the few taels of silver in his arms.

"Too, too many people."

The soldiers guarding the city were stunned when they saw the rebels coming in densely like a tide. There are at least a hundred thousand people, which is completely different from the tens of thousands of tentative sieges before.

"Impossible to stand, there are too many rebels."

The arrows shot from the city wall were like stones entering the sea, without stirring up a single wave.

Less than [-] defenders are distributed on the city wall. How many people can there be in each place?

Chapter 424 Dedicated City Withdrawal

Before the rebels attacked the city, it was just a small fight.
