The sound of horse hooves sounded again, this time, but it did not come from outside the city, but from within the city. The hard sound of horse hooves hit the bluestone road, like thunder that exploded in everyone's heart.
Woo!
Outside the city, the horn sounded again, and tens of thousands of iron hooves galloped at the same time, as if the entire Wangguan City was trembling.
"Protect the city gate!" Zhao Kaiyong shouted.
Everything is already too late.
Just now we went up to the city to kill the enemy, but only a thousand men and horses were left under the city wall. Facing the enemy's iron hoof, these men and horses would be destined to die.
Soon, the city gate was occupied by the opponent, and outside the city, the cavalry had also rushed to the wall.
Two words flashed through everyone's hearts at the same time - it's over!
The opponent has entered the city, they have breached the east city gate, and they are now preparing to attack from both inside and outside... This battle is bound to be lost.
The morale of the soldiers who had just been raised by Zhao Kaiyong was instantly depressed.
"Bastard, shoot them for me! Shoot them to death!" Zhao Jun grabbed the arrow from an archer next to him and yelled loudly.
It's just a pity that at this time, what use can such archery have?
The opponent cooperated inside and outside and crowded these soldiers and horses against the city wall.
Looking past the cavalry that had gathered inside and outside, Zhao Kaiyong grabbed his son's arm and said, "Don't be reluctant to fight, retreat immediately!"
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses crowded on the city wall became a mess. Many people were squeezed off the city wall by their own people, and some were pushed down by their own people and died at the feet of their companions...
Under the city wall, Luge was riding on a horse, squinting his eyes and staring at the city wall in the distance, his eyes full of disdain.
"Yue, have you seen that there has been no war for several years, and these northwest troops have degraded to such an extent. It is such a pity. I originally thought it would be a tragic battle!"
Yue sat on the horse beside him and said nothing.
As far as he knew, in the past few years, even though there was no war, He Lanji often conducted actual combat training for his cavalry in various names such as exercises, hunting, and bandit suppression. It was obvious that these rabble on the city wall were not the Northwest Army.
The elite division of the Red Flame Cavalry Regiment.
It has been four days since the cavalry entered the customs. Wangguan City is far from Loulan City. If you march overnight on horseback, it will only take three days at most. There has been no movement yet. What on earth does the little princess Chu Tianjiao want to do?!
Yue hasn't thought of the answer yet, but he has a vague premonition in his heart.
Although he had only met her a few times, he could tell that she was definitely not someone who liked to retreat. Would she willingly allow the enemy to enter her northwest county?
No, impossible!
Yue concluded with certainty in her heart.
Eight hundred miles away, there is a courtyard on the outskirts of Loulan City.
Chu Tianjiao leaned on He Lanji's legs and let him use a wooden comb to help her comb her long hair that she had just washed. In his hand, he held a grass stem pulled casually from the grass, "It's been four days.
, we haven’t been able to grab any food, Luger’s patience has almost been exhausted?!”
"Lu Ge, who is it?!" He Lanji stopped combing her hair.
"Lu Ge is the eldest prince on the grassland. He once chased us on the grassland before!" Chu Tianjiao sat up straight and looked at He Lanji sideways, with a narrow smile on his lips, "That was on the grassland.
During the Harvest Festival and the bonfire party, when I was toasting to his younger brother Yue, you got jealous and broke his wine glass!"
Raising his fingers, He Lanji looked at his hands and fell into deep thought, seemingly thinking.
Chu Tianjiao did not disturb him, but just got up and continued practicing. Although she wished that he would remember everything immediately, she kept controlling herself not to force him.
