sinking into sand

Outside the city defense station, in the city of Daocheng, a few sparks are gathering.Inside the city defense station, Guan Lan, Yu Sha, and Lan Bailing fought and retreated, occupying a high ground on the second floor.

Guan Lan stood on the watchtower and bent his bow to shoot arrows. They entered the armory once when they were making a fuss in the courtyard.Lan Bailing obeyed a lot of things, and after Yu Sha got some bows and arrows for Guan Lan, he set them on fire.

The three of them stayed on the second floor, and Lan Bailing made something impromptu, tied Guan Lan to an arrow and shot down, and the shot exploded into a fog, barely stopping those people's battle to seize the building.

Yu Sha was wounded, bleeding profusely.Sitting on the floor on the second floor to rest, but he couldn't calm down, his ears were filled with the sound of shouting and fighting with various swords.It was noisy, but the voice he had been waiting for never came.Long' legs.old!A (aunt · whole! Li/

"Haven't they bombed the city gate yet?" Yu Sha felt a little distracted and asked confusedly.In fact, it hasn't been long since they started fighting, and Ye Wanwan probably hasn't even arrived at the West City Gate yet.

"I think someone is going to light a fire." Lan Bailing looked at the situation below condescendingly on the second floor, but she was in a very good mood, and she was in the mood to make fun of Yu Sha, "Can you do it, almost we have to slip away. I I don’t want the last way to die is charcoal grilling.”

Guan Lan didn't know what was coming to mind, and she also joked with Yu Sha: "There is no quilt for you here."

As soon as Yu Sha heard it, he knew what he was talking about, but the small building in the middle of the lake was besieged by Yu Wangling's rockets.At that time, Guan Lan was full of nonsense and told an outrageous lie.As a result, times have changed, and thinking about that lie again, it's not really outrageous.

"The Populus euphratica tree is very tall, we can run on it." Yu Sha said, "We have to wait a little longer, there are so many people in the city."

"and also……"

Yu Sha hesitated to speak, but Lan Bailing didn't quite understand, but Guan Lan did.

But he didn't answer because it didn't make sense.

They have been arguing for so long, and the captured girls downstairs have died.

There are always people who cannot be saved.

Guan Lan didn't speak anymore, he began to gradually understand what Yu Sha's seemingly helpless despair was all about.

They were silent for a while, and no one spoke.Just when Larry Lark wanted to say something to stop being so embarrassing, the second wave of offensive from the people downstairs arrived. It seemed that arrows were dispatched from other places, tied with flints, and they really started to attack with fire.

And what's different from before is that the counterattack of these people seems to have become crazy. When shooting arrows, there was a lot of shouting and cursing outside, which even overshadowed the sound of arrows.

Guan Lan listened, and said, "Their leader is confirmed to be dead."

"Ha." Lan Bailing had an expression on his old lady's face that was really powerful.

Yu Sha closed his eyes and silently recited the name of Hong Fei who had only met once.Then he opened his eyes and stood up, supporting the wooden pillar next to him.

"Let's go, they should start revenge soon."

-

"Ah!" A scream suddenly came from the streets of Daocheng, and some fleeing civilians were shot by bows and arrows, and died on the spot.

The people who had been running to the west gate with the crowd were tripped by this sudden change.After this momentary delay, the rain of arrows and the black smoke of the burning company were already what came before our eyes.

For a moment, the people who were running towards the west city gate in an orderly manner just now became chaotic.In order to avoid the scattered arrows, the Xiongnu soldiers opened the horse storehouse, and the cavalry ran wildly in the alleys of Daocheng, holding a steel knife, which could kill many people with a single swipe. piled up.

The angry Huns began to slaughter, and everyone was running for their lives.

When Ye Wanwan and the others realized the chaos behind them, they knew that time was running out.

The West City Gate is right in front of you, and the soldiers guarding the city seem to have not been notified of what happened in the city. Seeing a sudden influx of people, they just drew their swords to threaten them.

Ye Wanwan was not polite to these people at all, she swung her long sword, instantly eliminated the two people in front of her, and shouted, "Wu Jun—!"

The hidden guards of the Guan family had already received the news, and when they heard Ye Wanwan's order, they burst out of the shadows in an instant, causing casualties at the west city gate.Several other groups of people appeared from the shadows, and they were all faster than them. Seeing Ye Wanwan's party fighting with the city defenders, they didn't need to tell each other their identities. They knew it was time to fight just by looking at their clothes. who.

"Where's the gunpowder——! Who has gunpowder?!" Ye Wanwan yelled while fighting with someone.

They were too short on time to allocate resources, so they could only gamble that some of the Jiang Hu people in this city had gunpowder on their bodies.The west city gate is in a mess everywhere, and the number of dead people is increasing.When Ye Wanwan was burning with anxiety, she saw Wu Jun in the crowd.Fang's face was dirty, and what he was holding was gunpowder.

Ye Wanwan was overjoyed, and was about to let him blow up the city gate when Xun Er suddenly pulled her arm. She turned her head and saw Xun Er pointing to a small section of the city wall next to the city gate to Ye Wanwan. Wan look.

"Explode...explode here!" Xun Er trembling, at least he made his words clear: "I have read the news from Daocheng that Daocheng lacks military expenditure all year round, so it can only be spent in conspicuous places! The wood in this section of the city wall has been Rotten and empty!"

Ye Wanwan's brows were furrowed. In this critical time, gunpowder was their only hope of escape, so she was very hesitant to listen to Xun Er.

After a while, she pursed her lips tightly, whistled sharply in Wu Jun's direction, and made another gesture.Wu Jun noticed the signal and was taken aback.But still follow Ye Wanwan's instructions.

During the short period of time when the gunpowder exploded, Ye Wanwan was very tormented.

She is from the northern palace, and unlike Guan Lan, she has been asking for herself as an heir since she was a child.

She didn't know if it was because she tried her best to cover up her dirty childhood experience with a glamorous and great identity.That's why I instinctively want to be invincible and always correct.

She knew that such a life was worthless to Guan Lan, and she didn't know whether such a path could meet the expectations of those elders, until one day, they would share some of the rights of the northern palace with her.

What she pursues is being right, and for this purpose she can eliminate those who she thinks will affect her rightness.

But at such a critical juncture, it is obviously not so correct to listen to the words of a commoner girl.

Ye Wanwan didn't know what she was thinking during the short period of time waiting for the gunpowder to explode, maybe more than half of the time she was regretting why she listened to a girl's film.

But indeed, at that moment, intuition made a judgment before reason.

Intuition says Xun Er is right.

The gunpowder has exploded, and there is a lot of movement.

Ye Wanwan stared intently at that section of the city wall.The city wall does look very low, and the surface is mostly damaged.But after the explosion, the city wall did not fall in response, but some earth and rocks were shaken off.

Ah, was it wrong?

Ye Wanwan thought with a blank face.

Sure enough, you should not listen to your intuition.I didn't see it, but if I listened to it once in a while, I would have to confess my life.

Ye Wanwan looked away, the gunpowder had been used up, but the city gate was not broken, so she had to find another way to get out of the city.

Just as she was thinking, Xun Er suddenly pinched her with great strength. Ye Wanwan looked back impatiently again, and saw that the city wall where Xun Er was pointing was still shaking off the earth and rocks.

Then, within a moment, Ye Wanwan thought she heard the sound of an old wooden beam breaking.

After that, there was a loud bang from the city wall.

The walls fell.
