Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

To the east of Fengtian is a plain, and the terrain is open. Although there is Tongtian Tower in the north, what Chu Xinle is most worried about is the east of Fengtian. When the barbarians invaded, they drove directly through this east gate.He reinforced and made the eastern city wall taller, but it still couldn't stop Huth's covetous ambition.

The archers between the walls had already assembled. Although they couldn't help trembling, they still kept their nerves tight and stared outside the city.

There are round small drums on both sides of the barbarian army. They make a passionate sound in the rainy night, but they are suddenly suppressed by the muffled thunder in the sky. If the stone array of arrow rain just now was just for fun, then the sound of the drum now is a precursor , Huth is ready to take Fengtian in one fell swoop!

When the muffled thunder in the sky disappeared, the drums were resolutely raised, the barbarians roared, and the war horses galloped forward neighing. Chen Fan on the city wall controlled the reflex machine, immediately raised his hand, and shouted in the rain: "Let go!"

However, the situation is the same as before. No matter how many long arrows Fengtian has, the barbarians are not afraid. The cavalry immediately spread out to both sides, revealing that the infantry in the middle raised their shields and rushed forward. The cavalry did not wear armor. The most primitive feature of the barbarians is lightness and agility, and the newly added infantry are fully armed. They not only hold shields, but also have tight armor. They rush to the front line and run hard, and the cavalry follows them. Another impregnable fortress!

"Damn it..." Huo Gang watched anxiously from the sidelines, with his hands on the long sword at his waist, his eyes fixed on the "castle" outside the city.

Their advance will not be hindered by the rain of arrows flying all over the sky. Seeing that the barbarian army has already attacked the city, Chen Fan immediately ordered people to light the straw bags surrounding the city wall. Oil was poured on it every day, and it had already penetrated. Before returning to Jiuyuan, Xing Yanhong told Chu Xinle that it was rainy in the early spring in the northern part of the Central Plains. If the fire bag to protect the city is to work, other measures must be taken, so Chu Xinle built a layer of rain-shielding eaves on the eastern city wall. , Even in today's downpour, the straw bag that has been drenched in oil can immediately ignite, and the fire surrounds the east of Fengtian, and the barbarian army can't get close at all.

The city gate opened, Chu Xinle was riding in front, Yun Jiming and Qian Yi were on the left and right sides, they had to get rid of the armored infantry who couldn't move independently before the raging fire was extinguished by the heavy rain.

The rain on a spring night was chilling, and the scorching fire around made people sweat. In the double sky of ice and fire, Chu Xinle was dressed in a red dress and resolutely. The barbarian infantry, they had a clear goal, and the horse that rushed out brought a burst of burning fire, and the cold blade cut the throat of the infantry in an instant.

This seemingly solid city wall is not indestructible at all. As long as the human wall armor outside them is penetrated, the entire high-rise building can collapse in an instant under the rain of arrows.

The surrounding rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Fengtian was in dire straits during the long night.

Chu Xinle didn't love to fight, they didn't dare to go too far from the gate of the city, seeing that there was no one left alive in the infantry that could be killed in front of him, he stopped chasing, and immediately shouted to retreat, all the defenders returned to the city in the blink of an eye, the city The fire outside was watered by the heavy rain, and it was no longer as vigorous as it was at the beginning.

Seeing that Chu Xinle and the others had all retreated in, Chen Fan immediately commanded the arrows to be released, and the long arrows flew out in an instant. The barbarian cavalry who had no time to retreat were scattered without the defense of the infantry's solid wall. However, when the long arrows disappeared, they In a moment they were together again.

Huo Gang watched from the city wall, only to see the infantry from behind filling up again.

"How did they..." Chenfan saw with his own eyes that the army that had been defeated by the blow was reassembled into a complete one, and it seemed unharmed.

"Hut that son of a bitch, he's consuming our arrows!" Huo Gang finally came to his senses.

Huth didn't hesitate to use human life as an excuse to prepare for the attack that was ready to go after them!

After hearing this, Chen Fan immediately went down the city wall. Chu Xinle and Yun Jiming were arranging their clothes and preparing for the next surprise attack. Seeing Chen Fan rushing over, they asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master! The strategy needs to be changed. Huth is using his life to consume our arrows, and those infantry are more than one wave!" Chen Fan touched the water on his face and gasped.

Chu Xinle paused as she adjusted her wristbands.

Yun Jiming frowned and pursed his lips, but he also kept silent.

On the contrary, Qian Yi was very angry, and immediately burst into flames when he heard this: "Damn it! I still don't believe it, how many lives can they have?"

"Don't be impulsive," Yun Jiming grabbed Qian Yi, looked at Chen Fan, and asked, "How long can our arrow last?"

"Two waves at most." Chen Fan thought about it.

Chu Xinle continued to straighten his wristbands. His hair was a little messy due to the fight just now, but Chu Xinle didn't care about it at all. He stood up, looked at the rain outside the shed, which was getting weaker than before, and said, "Hut brought The army bypassed Jiuyuan Fengtian. If Xing Yanhong and the others didn't know, they would not bring too many people. This wave of infantry must be the last wave, but Huth will never let us succeed easily. He needs strong defenses Wall, he is not the kind of person who will do things unprepared, but what exactly is he going to do?"

If it is said that Hu Te has an ambush outside, but although the fire near the city wall has weakened but is not going to subside, Chu Xinle and the others will not be too far away from the city gate, so what is the purpose of doing this?

However, he couldn't wait for him to think about it, and Huo Gang on the city wall suddenly shouted: "They are coming again!"

Yun Jiming and Qian Yi quickly stood up, Chen Fan still wanted to dissuade him, but he had nothing to say, so he could only climb up the city wall again.

Chu Xinle and the others were ready to go. Seeing that the barbarian army had crossed the boundary line, the city gate opened, and Chu Xinle led the garrison to charge out again in the pouring rain.

Due to the small victory just now, the garrison's confidence was greatly increased. They quickly gained the essentials and killed the infantry in armor when they saw it. But this time was different from the last time. Most of the cavalry retreated, but the remaining A small group rushed towards the defenders as if they were desperate, and they seemed more like a delay than a confrontation.

Seeing that something was wrong, Chu Xinle yelled "Retreat!", and the horses roared. There were only a small number of defenders near the gate of the city. They wanted to retreat, but the wild horses of the barbarians ran much faster than the horses of the Central Plains. They Block the way of Chu Xinle and the defenders, and surround them together.

Seeing this, Chen Fan wanted to shoot an arrow, but Huo Gang held down his hand before he raised it.

"Master?!" Chen Fan roared.

Huo Gang stared at the defenders outside the city who were fighting bravely. Due to the battle just now, their physical strength has begun to decline. The fire outside the city wall is about to be extinguished, and the heavy rain that was still pouring is slowly weakening.Their arrows are only enough for two waves, but knowing that this is a trap, they can only release the arrows, is there no other way?

The heart in the chest kept beating, which was harsher than the sound of drums, and Huo Gang was almost suffocated.

Huth, who was behind, saw this situation and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

The cavalry next to them reined in their horses and asked, "They don't seem to have any plans to shoot arrows. Shall we rush up and kill them..."

Huth raised his hand to stop his suggestion, narrowed his eyes slightly and stared into the distance, and said with a smile: "It's not the best choice for us to rush out now, if they don't let it go, let them let it go."

"Master!" Seeing another wave of cavalry rush out of the original barbarian army, and the fire under the city wall has been completely extinguished, Chen Fan couldn't bear it anymore.

But not only that, I saw the cavalry and infantry in the barbarian army separated from each other, revealing the arrow chariot behind which was covered by the darkness.

"Let the arrows!" Huo Gang yelled, the rain of arrows in Fengtian was facing each other, Chu Xinle and the others finally found an opening and rushed into the city gate, but due to the arrows from the opposite side, the defenders were also killed and injured countless times .

Huth was forcing them to shoot arrows.

The sky is getting brighter in the east, and the rain is light again.

If things go on like this, they will not be able to penetrate the solid wall until the rain stops, and when the rain stops, the burning poisonous mist will float over, and Fengtian will definitely not be able to hold it!

Chu Xinle's physical strength is limited, his illness has not fully healed, and his body has not recovered. Now that he has fought all night, he can no longer hold on.

Seeing that the rain was getting smaller and smaller, Chu Xinle ordered Chenfan to take the people in the city to hide in the dungeon below Xunfu. Although Xunfu is not big, the dungeon is spacious. Come in, the east city gate is lost, and the dungeon can last until Xing Yanhong and the others come.

Chen Fan led the garrison to gather the people in the city. They dragged their families, panicked, and the cries of children were drowned out by the flames of war. There were more and more people, and their expressions were dignified. In the light rain, there was tension everywhere. gasps.

Ping'an and Huo Wu grabbed Xing Qingzhang's hand one by one. They stayed in the crowd, and they were considered quiet, but the tears in Ping'an's eyes betrayed his panic. He stayed on the mountain since he was a child. The terrible thing was watching his teacher being killed in Lin'an Yun Mansion, and since then he has had nightmares all night long, and now that he is finally getting better, who knows that there are barbarians coming over again.

"It's coming again." The surrounding cries shook the sky. These people had experienced it ten years ago, but they had experienced it once, and they were even more afraid.

"Have the barbarians come to massacre the city again?" Someone asked crying.

But no one answered, all the questions were answered: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet..."

Ping An tightly grasped Xing Qingzhang's hand, leaned over and asked Huo Wu in a low voice: "Are we going to be killed..." His voice might be too choked, but the usually cold Huo Wu gave him a word of comfort for the first time: "It'll be fine."

Huo Wu actually had no idea, but compared to Ping An, he seemed much calmer. Maybe it was because of the oppression of the Shi family in Runan for many years, or because he rushed out of the surrounded army on that rainy day three years ago. Fog's performance doesn't match his age.

Next to Xing Qingzhang was a woman holding a baby. The woman sobbed softly, but the baby in her arms was crying with snot and tears, and shouted: "Mother! Mother! Are we dying?!"

Xing Qingzhang let go of Ping An's hand, took out his handkerchief from his arms, and handed it to the woman hearing the voice, then groped and touched the top of the child's head, and said softly: "No way."

The crying became louder and louder, and even Dai Pingan began to cry.

"What evil do you think we Fengtian have done! Everyone is staring at this place, either bandits or barbarians!" The man knelt down and hugged his head in collapse.

A few more roars of fighting came from the front, and the surroundings immediately fell silent in fright.

Suddenly there was a loud noise from the south, and then several cavalry and infantry were seen coming towards this side.

The garrison guarded the bleeding wound on his head and shouted loudly: "Quick! Block the door!"

"Cavalry!" Someone saw it clearly, and immediately ran northward: "The cavalry is coming in!"

Everyone around ran northward in one go.

Huth didn't let go of the south gate!

Because of a moment of carelessness, the barbarians were able to take advantage of it!

They desperately wanted to push back the fallen city gate, enduring repeated impacts from the siege vehicles outside.

Chen Fan drew his sword and fought with the cavalrymen who were running over. The garrison led the people to run to Xunfu, but when they ran outside the mansion, they were stopped by the chasing cavalry. The garrison drew their swords and shouted: run, hurry—"

Before he finished speaking, the head fell to the ground.

The common people shouted loudly and made a mess. Xing Qingzhang couldn't see anything among them, so he could only let Huo Wu and Ping An pull him. The people who were still together all crowded into Xunfu, and Ping An was pushed and shoved in the crowd. On the ground, seeing this, Huo Wu immediately let go of his hand to help Ping An. Xing Qingzhang had no support, and didn't know how to react at all. The cavalry rushed towards him with a knife.

Pingan supported his fragile waist and was pulled up by Huo Wu, but when he saw Xing Qingzhang, he immediately gasped and shouted: "Brother! Squat down! Squat down!"

The cavalry rode at Xing Qingzhang's back with their knives, and Xing Qingzhang's voice could not be heard in the chaos. He fumbled towards Ping'an. He immediately ran over and shouted in the rain: "Brother! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!!"

The shadow of the knife flashed across, Ping An's eyes were scarlet, the head rolled to the ground, and the corpse of the headless horseman rolled off the horse.

Yun Jiming grabbed Xing Qingzhang and shouted at Ping An and Huo Wu, "Follow me!"

A few people finally entered the Xun Mansion.

The south city gate has been blocked, and all the barbarians entering the city have been cleared away.

Yun Jiming sent the man to the dungeon to settle down, and ordered Pingan and Huo Wu to hold Xing Qingzhang's hand tightly at all times, then turned to leave, but the corner of his clothes was pulled, Yun Jiming's face was covered with rain, and he turned around. Turning around, looking at Xing Qingzhang who was also in a mess, his nose was sour, and his voice couldn't help slowing down. The flames of war outside seemed to have nothing to do with them.

"what happened?"

Xing Qingzhang swallowed his saliva, the voice was not loud, only he and Yun Jiming heard: "Come back alive," and then paused, and said: "You come back alive, I, I will forgive you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his waist being hugged. Fengtian who was raging in war, Fengtian who was crying everywhere, Yun Jiming domineeringly left his mark on Xing Qingzhang's lips in front of these people.

"Wait for me," Yun Jiming hugged him, and the heartbeats of the two merged into one at this moment. He felt that the voice just now was too soft, so he aggravated it, because he was too excited and even trembled.

"Shanyuan, wait for me to come back."
