The sound of the gong spread throughout Huju, and Yan Xiangheng's heart was burning with anxiety.
He thought about it, but he still couldn't wait here. He took the wooden sticks that were always on the frame of his carriage and walked out of the Yamen.
Liang Manshan had no choice but to accompany him there, and he couldn't persuade him. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He ran out without paying attention, gritting his teeth and stomping at the door of the government office.
"Uncle! Uncle!" Yan Xiangheng ran over in one breath and found Yan Laoer who was helping to arrange the boiling water to be sent to the city wall.
Yan Laoer had just arranged the order of the people who came to help, and when he saw his eldest nephew coming over, he stared in anger.
"Why are you here? I told you to stay well in the government office!"
"Uncle, I'm worried about you. The gongs are ringing in the city, calling people to come to the city wall to help. It's not like Uncle Liang that I have an errand. Instead of waiting for the result in the official office, why not come here to help? It's life or death. ,Always give it a try!"
Yan Xiangheng put the wooden stick on the ground and looked very impressive.
"Well said!" Mr. Tian praised: "I should be like this!"
Yan Laoer: Bad!
The lies I told you before are now revealed.
But then I thought about it, it doesn’t matter, we have reached this stage, just love it...
"Huh?" Mr. Tian pointed at Yan Xiangheng and reacted: "You... didn't you go out of the city?"
Yan Xiangheng pointed at himself and looked left and right to make sure there was no one else around him.
Are you talking about me?
Yan Laoer: "Master, don't worry about this at this time. Where is our smoke? Why can't you see it? Is it so difficult? Or stay far away?"
Mr. Tian looked in the direction of the beacon tower, squinted his eyes and looked at it: "Look! It's right there, it's lit!"
Seeing the brightening fire in the night sky, Mr. Tian felt very complicated. Judging from the current situation, Langyan was right, but could they really wait for reinforcements?
"Come on, my brothers, I can't stop you... Poof!" As soon as a soldier on the tower shouted to the people below, he was stabbed in the back by Beirong who climbed up from behind, and he vomited blood and died.
Although the Beirong soldiers were quickly killed, several openings suddenly appeared on the city tower. More and more Beirong soldiers climbed up and began to compete with the border troops for a foothold on the city wall.
The situation has taken a turn for the worse!
"Quickly, let the second master and the third master go back to the barn and guard the barn!" Master Tian remained calm in the face of danger and pulled out a knife from the bamboo basket containing the weapons.
I walked a few steps forward and stood guard at the stairs.
"Fellows and fellow villagers! This is a time when our survival is at stake. If the soldiers and thieves are allowed to enter the city, the ground will be littered with corpses and rivers of blood will flow!
We can't let them enter the city, we must defend it!
Guarding this city gate means guarding our parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters...
We will defend the city to the death!"
"Swear to defend the city to the death!"
"Swear to defend the city to the death!"
"Swear to defend the city to the death!"
The border troops were the first to respond, boosting their morale. Then the people followed, and their voices became louder and louder.
Suddenly, the tigers on one side were so full of fighting spirit that they actually overwhelmed the enemy and wiped out the Beirong soldiers on the city wall.
Unexpectedly, with the continuous fighting, the frontier troops were getting tired. At the moment when they recaptured the city wall, they only relaxed a little, and then Beirong seized the opportunity again...
The two sides started to go back and forth again, and the battle on the city wall became more and more fierce and dangerous!
"Heng'er, do you see that smoke clearly? Is it because the fire is small? How can I not believe it?" Yan Laoer had no one else to ask, so he had to grab his eldest nephew and ask.
"Uncle, when smoke spreads, beacon fire spreads from generation to generation. After we light it here, we have to pass it on from place to place to spread the news." Yan Xiangheng explained to him nervously.
"What?!" Yan Laoer suddenly turned his head to look at the city wall, and the next moment he turned back to look at the smoke.
"What if someone in the middle didn't see it? Or if they didn't see it immediately and the time was delayed, then we..."
Yan Xiangheng clenched the wooden stick in his hand and said, "Uncle, I'll go over and help."
Mr. Tian even caught Beirong, who was still gasping for breath after falling down, and slashed him like crazy. How could he just watch here?
"Come back here!" Yan Laoer dragged him tightly.
Is this the time to show off as a hero? Over there, the Beirong and the border troops went crazy.
It would be better if the border troops could guard the city gate. Once the gate is broken, the eldest nephew is so close that he can't escape even if he wants to!
His eldest brother only has this one seedling!
No matter what, he has to protect his eldest nephew!
He raised the bamboo crossbow in his hand and lowered it with trembling lips.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.
This bamboo crossbow was only brought with twenty bamboo arrows randomly. If it is empty here, what will happen next?
He followed Master Tian's example and took out a knife from the bamboo basket. After thinking about it, he took out another knife and handed it to his nephew.
"Take it." He was afraid that his eldest nephew would misunderstand his meaning, so he solemnly said: "Defend yourself!"
Added another sentence: "Don't throw away the stick either."
The screams seemed to be getting closer and closer to them, as well as the ferocious and piercing shouts of Beirong, as well as those wailing foreign languages...
Yan Laoer saw Beirong fighting from the city wall to the stairs.
The earthen jars containing boiling water could no longer be transported.
The frontier troops retreated steadily and could no longer attack the city tower.
On the other hand, Beirong gained power and became rampant.
A man jumped down from the stairs and rushed directly to Mr. Tian. His loyal servants protected him, but Mr. Tian took the opportunity to kill him with a knife.
Yan Laoer just breathed a sigh of relief.
But in an instant, the loyal servant was stabbed in the heart by another Beirong...
The elder was caught off guard and was stunned on the spot.
Yan Laoer subconsciously raised his bamboo crossbow and shot!
A bamboo arrow hit Beirong's eye socket accurately.
Mr. Tian woke up, shouted, and stabbed the knife into the man's stomach...
The man fought back in pain and scratched Mr. Tian's arm with his backhand.
Yan Xiangheng rushed out decisively and cut Beirong's throat with the knife in his hand.
Master Tian pulled out the knife, and blood dripped down the blade.
"The city is broken! Run for your life! The city is broken! Beirong are coming in..."
Before Mr. Tian could make any move, he was grabbed by Yan Laoer and ran away like crazy.
"Heng'er, hurry up, run with me!"
Yan Xiangheng performed beyond his level at this moment, and he has an old nose to see it.
He even knew how to help his uncle run away with the elder...
Mr. Tian was held hostage by these two men and the knife in his hand was lost.
"Let me go, let me go! Oh! You... Yan Er! Let me go back! What a nonsense! What a nonsense!" He shouted until his voice became hoarse.
Yan Laoer knew what Mr. Tian was going back to do. He had just shouted slogans and wanted to defend the city to the death...
He didn't know why he was dragging the old man away. He didn't even have time to think about it, so he just grabbed him with his hand.
"What are you going to do when you go back? You..." Yan Laoer gasped for air and ran for his life while complaining: "The city is ruined. What are you going to do as an old man? Besides dying in vain, how can you take back the city gate?"
land!"
