Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

The crackling sound came faintly, and the puffs of smoke filled the front with the sizzling fire, roaring towards this side under the howling of the strong wind.

Pang Feihu felt a burning pain at the tip of his nose, and when he wiped it with his hand, it was full of ashes, the kind of ashes that burn grass.

When Pang Feihu realized that the red light in front of him was man-made fire, he could no longer see clearly, and the smoke was lingering, taking advantage of the wind blowing over, it was hazy and foggy...

"Ahem." Pang Feihu covered his mouth and nose again, and shouted to Fatty Zhu, "Hurry up, tell Brother Guo, bandits are coming!"

Before Pang Feihu finished speaking, Fatty Zhu beside him had disappeared.

After only a few breaths, Guo Ye, who was also awakened by the smoke, came to Pang Feihu's side under the leadership of Fatty Zhu.

Like Pang Feihu, Guo Ye covered his mouth and nose tightly, had difficulty breathing, and what he saw was white and misty.

However, he had already felt ominous in his heart, and he immediately understood that what happened in front of him was definitely not accidental, and it must be the thieves who were playing tricks.

In an instant, he tore off a large piece of underwear, ran to the corner to find a wooden bucket full of water, covered his mouth and nose with a soaked rag, took a few deep breaths greedily, and then shouted at Pang Feihu: "Quick, come on!" Quickly ask the brothers to pull a piece of cloth, block the mouth and nose, and prevent the smoke from entering the lungs, or it will be too late for regret!"

After receiving the order, Pang Feihu and Fatty Zhu followed the same pattern, tore off the sleeves of his clothes, covered his mouth and nose after soaking, and ran to the top of the city to inform everyone to take defensive measures.

All of a sudden, crackling and tearing sounds resounded throughout the city.

Guo Ye knew that this was not a long-term solution. He could prevent the brothers from inhaling the smoke for a short time, but if the smoke was allowed to invade the city in this way, the defenders would have no defense at all.

Because now he has already guessed the treacherous tricks of the bandits, Guan Jiujiu's poisonous tricks.

What the bandits did was nothing more than taking advantage of the westerly wind to set off fireworks and use the billowing smoke to smoke the guards at the top of the city, so that Longxi City would not be able to fight back.

How to deal with it?

Guo Ye was unable to find a countermeasure for a while in a hurry.

But now that the urgency is imminent, there is no room for him to procrastinate. He vaguely heard the sound of running and shouting from behind the billowing smoke.

Apparently, the trumpets to attack the city had already sounded. Perhaps behind the thick fog and blurred vision, nearly a thousand bandits rushed towards the city gate wielding their knives and swords.

Shoot arrows?

No, I can't see where the thieves are, where are the arrows?

Wait until the thieves climb up to the city and start a hand-to-hand fight with them?

This is even more unfeasible, there are nearly a thousand bandits, and I have only a few hundred of them just now. To put it bluntly, they are all government servants and gangsters who are not familiar with swords and bows.

Not only is the number of the two sides not at the same level, but even the individual combat capabilities are not at the same level.

If the bandits were allowed to go to the city, for Guo Ye, it would be tantamount to digging his own grave and destroying himself. When the time comes to drive the bandits down the city, it will be even more difficult, and it will be very difficult to reach the blue sky.

In the end how to do?

Suddenly, Fatty Zhu ran towards him and shouted, "Brother, brother, Ma Gongcao is here."

Ma Yuanju?

A gleam of hope rose in Guo Ye's heart, maybe this guy's scheming can solve my temporary difficulties.

After Ma Yuanju came over with a wooden bucket, Guo Ye realized that not only Ma Yuanju had come, but also many people, all of them were elders from the city.

These people were in groups of two, and carried a steaming wooden barrel with a pole. There were about two to three hundred people, and many of them carried a cauldron on their shoulders and held dry firewood in their arms.

These people spontaneously organized a group of three or five people, set up a cauldron on the tower, and burned firewood, as if they were going to boil water.

Guo Ye's heart was like 350 hairy monkeys jumping around on the ground at this time, and he was in a panic. Seeing these people doing such a thing, Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out. What are they going to do?

Just when Guo Ye was puzzled, Ma Gongcao came to Guo Ye's voice and shouted: "Brother, don't worry, I have a plan to defeat the enemy."

A strategy to retreat from the enemy?

After Guo Ye heard this, he no longer cared about what the elders in the city wanted to do, but grabbed Ma Yuanju's arm and shouted: "Ma Gongcao, hurry up, I can't see anything now, spears and arrows are shot down. It's in vain, I don't even know where the bandits are."

The implication is that now everyone is choked by the smog as if they are blind, all efforts are useless.

Ma Yuanju was not in a hurry, he shook his head and smiled and said, "No hurry, brother, you have a good wife!"

How could Guo Ye have the time to fight and bicker with him, what a good wife, even if Ma Yuanju praised his daughter-in-law Wu Xiuxiu like a nine-day mysterious girl, it would be useless.

Saving the city now is like fighting a fire, and there is no delay.

Seeing that Guo Ye was absent-minded, Ma Yuanju stared at himself as if scratching his heart, laughed again, raised his right hand high and lightly raised it, and shouted: "Miss Xiuxiu, it's up to you to explain it to your husband-in-law." Let's do it!"

Miss Xiuxiu?

Guo Ye was almost stunned by the name. When did Wu Xiuxiu come to the tower?Listening to the meaning of Ma Yuanju's words, could it be that Xiuxiu came up with this so-called strategy of retreating from the enemy?

Immediately, following Ma Yuanju's right arm, Guo Ye stared at——

A beautiful figure stood up from the crowd not far away,

Qianqian's figure is graceful and graceful, and she is wearing a purple skirt in a ruyi, which is very eye-catching in the smoky sky, like a nine-day mysterious girl descending from the earth.

Isn't it the one from my family?

Chapter 127 Battle to defend Longxi County (8)

It turned out to be Wu Xiuxiu!

Guo Ye approached, even though there were ashes and smoke all around, Guo Ye was sure that the person who came was his "mother" Wu Xiuxiu.

Guo Ye couldn't help asking in amazement: "Why are you here?"

Wu Xiuxiu seemed to be a little absent-minded about Guo Ye's question, and seemed to be sullen at him. Anyway, she just liked to ignore him, and hid aside on her own, staying away from Guo Ye. It seemed that a step closer to Guo Ye would cause a stench all over her body like.

Ma Yuanju on the side of course didn't know what tricks the young couple was playing, and thought that the young couple might bicker and get angry on weekdays. Then he smiled at Wu Xiuxiu and said in a harmonious voice: "Miss Xiuxiu, it's not your young couple now. When the parents gossip, if you really want to punish Guo Ye, you have to go home and go to bed to punish him, right? Now that the situation in Dongmen is critical, you should tell us how to defeat the enemy."

Wu Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel embarrassed when Ma Yuanju said, "Go home, go to bed, and punish." A little blush spread across her cheeks instantly, and her cheeks blushed instantly, and she didn't dare to look directly at Guo Ye.

It was the first time for Guo Ye to see Wu Xiuxiu who looked like a little girl, and he couldn't help secretly praising her, what a little beauty, mother, she was usually cold and aloof, always putting on an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away Does he look like he's messing around again?

How good is it now?This is like a woman.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ma Yuanju saw Wu Xiuxiu and Guo Ye, the young couple, getting bored in this war-torn city, and was immediately speechless, hey, you have to pick a time to show your affection, don't you?

Immediately coughed twice to wake him up, and then urged Guo Ye: "Boy, do you still have the heart to love your children here? This army of bandits is about to climb the city wall."

what?

Guo Ye suddenly woke up, so he put away the sloppy thoughts in his heart, and said softly to Wu Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, the situation is critical now, if you have a way to defeat the enemy, you should speak up quickly. Once you hold the county seat, drive back the enemy." I personally apologize to you for killing the bandits."
