A general in white robes is holding a purple gold and silver iron-armed bow. He is squatting on horseback and standing on the crenel. It is Yan Yun.
Just now, when fifty soldiers who had gone out of the city to collect Qiang clothing returned to the city tower, he accidentally glanced at the gentle night wasteland. His mind was shaken, and he vaguely felt something strange in the wind and snow, so he tried his best to
Suddenly he shot an arrow.
"Third brother, what's wrong?" Yanlong asked.
"Something feels wrong..." Yan Yun replied, still staring brightly at the outside of the city in the darkness.
"Something's wrong?" Yan Long stuck his head out and scanned the outside of the city, but found nothing.
"There seemed to be some movement just now." Yan Yun said again.
"Is it a vulture?"
After all, no Qiang people would dare to spy at such a close distance from the city unless their lives were at stake.
It couldn't be a surprise attack. Longtou Pass was located at a high altitude, so the Qiang people had no conditions for a surprise attack.
"Vultures generally don't forage at night, and even if they do, they won't choose a place so close to people."
"Did you read that correctly?"
"Brother, let me go down and take a look." After Yan Yun finished speaking, before his brother could respond, he grabbed the rope tied to the entrance of the battlement and floated down like a white crane.
"Wait a minute..." Yan Long finally said this too late. In an instant, Yan Yun had reached the bottom of the high wall.
Yanlong knew very well the nature of his younger brother, and would never have put himself in danger if he hadn't noticed something unusual.
Could it be an enemy spying?
Yanlong shouted: "The whole army is on alert, archers are ready, listen to my orders and fire arrows, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Immediately afterwards, the centurion stationed at the top of the city issued an order to assist.
"Quick, the archers are on standby in front of the fire oil!"
"The target is twenty steps in front of the three generals. Follow the general's orders to launch, and you will see it accurately!"
When facing the enemy at night, the target is unclear, and the best weapon is a rocket.
Although a single rocket is like the light of a firefly in a snowy night, as long as there are enough of them, it can clear away the darkness and clearly see the number and movements of the enemy.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll take a look." Yan Yun said.
"careful!"
Yan Yun nodded, jumped onto the horse-blocking stakes near the city gate, and headed straight for the old withered tree.
The wind and snow were blowing hard, hitting his eyes. Yan Yun's eyes narrowed to a slit. At the same time, he pressed his left hand on the six-edged copper mace at his waist, getting ready for battle.
Standing on the tower and looking around, Yan Yun's figure soon became blurry.
"Third brother, don't stay away!" Yan Long was anxious.
At such a long distance, the line of sight was blocked, making it difficult to assist with the preparations on the tower.
At this time, Yan Yun had already approached the old tree. He did not step forward immediately, but walked around the old tree. When he saw that there was no movement around, he arrived in front of the tree.
This old tree has weathered the wind and sand for a long time. Its waist is five feet thick, its branches are strong, and its bark is cracked. The rockets shot by Yan Yun are firmly embedded in the trunk.
Is it an illusion?
Yan Yun looked around and thought to himself.
In the wind and snow a hundred feet away from Longtou Pass, two phantoms took advantage of the wind and escaped.
"I didn't expect this little white sheep to have some abilities!"
"No wonder Master said that there is a great danger, a crouching tiger, a hidden dragon, and he has repeatedly told us sisters to deal with it carefully."
"So what? Are we sisters still unable to defeat him?"
"Sister, don't underestimate the enemy. If this person fights alone, he may not be inferior to our sisters."
"Sister, I must be serious, I'm just a mortal!"
"Master once said that if some warriors who are both internal and external have wisdom and practice diligently, it is possible for them to enter the Tao through martial arts."
"Hmph, how can it be so easy to enter Taoism through martial arts?"
"Sister, please pay attention carefully. This person is very young and can detect our behavior. How can we underestimate him?"
Seven quarters of Hai hour.
On the official road leading to Longtouguan in Dayu, a team of about a hundred people was holding torches and marching in a hurry at night.
Although this team is not large in number, it has forty cavalry and the rest are infantry.
Dayu was good at farming and had few war horses, so most of the war horses used for military supplies came from overseas trade.
The ratio of this team to riding is as high as two-thirds, and it is an extraordinary existence when looking at the dynasty.
What's more important is that these one hundred people are all wearing armor, and judging from their energy and spirit, they are all elite men.
Behind the queue were a dozen donkeys, their backs laden with goods.
In a prominent position in the middle of the queue, several knights closely guarded a four-rider red-topped carriage. The shafts of the carriage were painted with gold patterns, and the ceiling was hung with silk ribbons, which showed that the passengers in the carriage were extraordinary.
"How far is it from Longtou Pass?" Suddenly, a woman asked from inside the car, her voice soft and sweet, like the song of a nightingale.
A knight immediately clenched his fist and lowered his head and said: "Miss, we can reach Longtou Pass in half an hour at most."
"Can it be faster?"
"Miss, please forgive me, it's dark and snowy, there may be wild animals..."
"Can you go faster?" The woman in the car didn't want to hear nonsense.
"It's okay, but the frame will inevitably bump. If you encounter an animal, you may disturb the lady in your haste..."
"If you make excuses again, I will step down from your post after returning to the royal city." The words of the woman in the car were extremely sharp.
"Yes!" The knight had no choice but to order the team to speed up.
Three quarters of a hour.
"Someone is coming, reinforcements!"
The side of Longtou Pass facing the territory of Dayu was as if it was suddenly lit by fire, and there was a lot of noise.
The soldiers had been waiting for reinforcements for a long time. When they suddenly heard this shout, wouldn't they be surprised?
Not to mention the sergeants on the city wall, even the wounded soldiers at the medical station were excited, supporting each other and climbing up the steps of the city wall step by step.
The big guys stood at the top of the city, stretching their necks and looking around. Long-lost smiles spread across the faces full of exhaustion and anxiety.
There were flames flickering in the darkness, and the faint sound of horse hooves could be heard.
"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!" someone shouted excitedly.
Hehe, haha, everyone laughed even harder, and even wrinkles appeared on their faces.
"The sky has eyes! We are saved, Longtouguan is saved!" The veteran in the platoon burst into tears, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed three times in the direction of the royal city.
Immediately afterwards, someone woke up and called out: "Quick, quick, quick, report to the commander and the three generals, reinforcements are coming!"
Such a happy event needs no reminder. Someone had already run down the city wall in three steps and two steps at a time, running towards the commander's mansion, shouting, "Report——"
Soon, the so-called reinforcements appeared in front of everyone in the city.
The expressions of everyone in the city changed from joy to confusion, their smiles suddenly stiffened, and their eyes were full of confusion.
"Why are there only so many people?"
"Is this the vanguard?"
"Even the vanguard does not have more than this number of people. What is the use of such a small number of people?"
The veteran in the vanguard went from crying with joy, to confusion, to extreme anger. He stood up suddenly and glared in the direction of the royal city!
Four quarters of a hour.
The snow was ankle deep, and two clear tracks on the snow led directly to the commander's mansion. He entered through the side door, passed a small martial arts arena, and stopped in front of the steps of a simple bungalow.
The guards and soldiers on the left and right had retreated, and Yan Yun stood in front of the car with a smile on his face. There was also a good-looking maid who was about 28 years old beside him.
It is impossible for a woman to appear in the army. The maid came with the carriage.
The owner of the car traveled thousands of miles to get here, but when he got close, he was timid and refused to show up.
General Yan Yunji said: "The military situation is urgent. If you don't come down, I will go to the tower to guard!"
"Eh..." As he finished speaking, a Pingting figure hidden in a cloak opened the curtain, revealing half of her stunning face.
"Haha..." Yan Yun laughed, suddenly stepped forward and hugged her legs, lifting her up.
