Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1249 The Wall Breaks
The Great Wall is not a single city wall, but a complete defensive engineering system composed of multiple fortifications such as city walls, watchtowers, gates, piers, camps, guards, and town towers.

Among them, the city wall, beacon tower and Guancheng are the three most common parts, and they are also the most important three parts.

Having lived in Guancheng for four years, Meng Shi has fully understood the functions of the various buildings on the Great Wall.Guancheng itself is the strongest fortress on the Great Wall. They are all located in favorable terrain for defense, so that they can defend against powerful intruders with very little force. "The origin of this common saying.

Therefore, the defenders on the Great Wall of Eternal Night are all concentrated in enemy towers, pier fortresses, camps, guards, and town beacon towers. Only a small number of troops have always been left in Guancheng, but as long as these defenders call for help, or if there is an enemy attack , the Beacon Tower in the town closest to Guancheng will give an immediate warning.

In the past four years, Meng Shi has seen many times that beacon towers light up smoke to warn Guancheng.

But this time, it was not the beacon tower that ignited the black smoke, but Shanhaiguan, where she had lived for four years.

"What's going on? Shanhaiguan asking for help?"

"Impossible! There is no smoke from the beacon towers around. Where did the Xirong people come from?"

Even the guard who kicked her away before saw this scene widened his eyes in astonishment, and the guardhouse, which was originally loose in military discipline, suddenly fell into chaos.

"Dangdangdang!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Hurry up and report to General Ershi!"

"Master General was drunk last night, and he still hasn't woken up!"

The bell rang in the barracks, and many soldiers dressed in mess came out of the barracks, still sleepy.

"Is there a semaphore coming from Shanhaiguan? What happened?"

"There is a semaphore typed out! But... I can't understand it, what a waste!"

"Doesn't Old Wangtou understand semaphore? Go and call him over!"

"Old Wangtou was reported to be someone who knew Yin Chanwei, and was thrown into the dungeon by the general two days ago!"

The entire barracks was in chaos, and no one was paying attention to a little girl standing at the door of the guard.

Seeing this group of soldiers stumbling around, Meng Shi finally understood.

She is no longer here.

If she was still there, the border guards would definitely not look like this.

But where did she go?
Thinking of what the guard said just now, Meng Shi felt that the whole world was still.

Princess Zhaoyang is dead.

What she was thinking at that moment, it is difficult for Meng Shi to recall to this day.

At that time, she just tried her best to tell herself that most of these soldiers occupying the magpie's nest had enmity with Princess Zhaoyang and Yin Chanwei, and they must be lying to her.

If she didn't think so, she must not be able to move her feet at that time.

"The old Wang's head is caught, the old man is still stubborn, your family is also in Shanhaiguan, right? Look, what did the semaphore say!"

Meng Shi watched the soldiers grab an old man covered in blood and lead him to the beacon tower. Looking at the black smoke billowing in Guancheng, the old man opened his cloudy eyes with a shocked expression.

"The city is broken..."

"You old ghost, what nonsense are you talking about! How could the city of Shanhaiguan be destroyed!" The soldier beside the old man slapped him, and Meng Shi watched the old man raise his head with blood on his face. The poem reminds me of the old wolf on the snow field.

She seemed to have seen such unyielding eyes somewhere.

"Quickly tell that drunkard general of yours to get out! There is a damaged city wall, and soldiers from the West have sneaked in!"

The walls are broken?

Meng Shi, who heard these words at that time, froze in place together with all the soldiers.

How could the wall be broken?
The walls of the Great Wall of Eternal Night were built by Emperor Taizu using special stone materials on the basis of the Great Wall of the previous dynasty, and they are still being strengthened to this day. In the impression of all the people on the border, they have always been as solid as gold.

At this moment, Meng Shi suddenly remembered that snowy night four years ago.

Hiding behind the strong Guancheng, she has almost forgotten the situation when Xirong soldiers rushed into her home wantonly.

However, at this moment, the nightmare of four years ago repeated itself.

Thinking of Meng Ge and adoptive parents who were still in the city, Meng Shi's blood turned cold.

"A song!"

She tried her best and ran towards the burning Shanhaiguan.

……

……

While running frantically, Meng Shi once again felt the heat in her body.

She grabbed a wooden stick from the side of the road, hugged it in her arms and ran desperately towards Guancheng.

The hot image wanted to go up the blood vessels, but was firmly fixed in the body by something.

The woman's gentle words sounded, and a little tear fell in her footprints.

The nearest guard is only three miles away from Shanhaiguan City, but the speed at which the guards of the guard are dispatching troops is not even comparable to the speed of a child running.

Later, Meng Shi learned that when the city wall was broken, the first reaction of the Ershi general who replaced Zhaoyang Princess was to pursue the captain of the Fenghuotai who was in charge of that section of the city wall, instead of sending troops to rescue Shanhaiguan.

Meng Shi remembered standing in front of the city wall billowing in thick smoke, staring blankly at the hell in front of her.

There were not many Xirong cavalry who sneaked into Shanhaiguan City, but they all had an identity that she was familiar with but unfamiliar.

practitioners.

"Run!"

"The cultivator is here!"

The limp corpses of the city guards were lying on the city wall, the city was on fire, and there were only a dozen voices of burning, killing and looting, but the common people were driven and slaughtered like sheep in a sheepfold.

The wild laughter of the Xirong people even included strange Central Plains dialects.

"What is the number one barrier on the border, a hole in the city wall is over!"

"Hurry up, leave after grabbing this wave, the guard over there will react soon!"

But the soldiers from the guard haven't arrived yet.

why?
At the beginning, many people also had hope for the arrival of surrounding soldiers, but in the end they were killed in despair.

Where are the soldiers protecting them?
"The city is broken! Run!"

"The city walls are broken, who will save us untouchables? Run!"

There were screams from the crowd, and there has been a saying among the common people that the defenders of the Great Wall are actually guarding the city wall, and they don't care about the life and death of the untouchables at all.

If the city wall is broken, the defenders should give priority to repairing the city wall for the first time, and then rush to help Shanhaiguan City.

After all, as long as the city wall is repaired, all that is left is to close the door and beat the dogs. Naturally, the Western soldiers who rushed in will never return, and the looted property will not be taken away, so what is it to let them slaughter a few civilians before that?
Despair enveloped the entire city, and everyone was running out of the city, but Meng Shi did not see Meng Ge and his adoptive parents.

Where is her sister, her family?

Against the crowds, she ran desperately into the city, but when she was still nine years old, she was knocked to the ground, and she watched in despair as one foot stepped on her.

But at this moment, the originally chaotic crowd suddenly stagnated for a moment.

"It's all right."

A powerful aura that even Meng Shi could detect suddenly enveloped the entire city.

Between heaven and earth, a woman's voice suddenly sounded.

"The walls have been repaired."

"Everyone be quiet, stand where you are and don't move."

In an instant, more than a dozen sword marks broke out on the bodies of the Xirong cavalry who were looting in the city, and they all fell off their horses and fell to the ground.

The turbulent crowd fell silent, and everyone followed the voice and looked towards the city wall.

In the gap between the crowd, Meng Shi saw a thin woman standing on the city wall.

She is not tall, but just standing there quietly, she has already surpassed everything.

The sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance, and the rescue army finally arrived.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"All the people returned to the city in an orderly manner, and there are no Western cavalry in the city."

The woman stood on the top of the city wall and spoke quietly.

"Believe me."

"I am Chief Commander, Lin Shubai."

　Today is on time, and will be on time in the future!Shubai came.Meng Shi's memories actually involve a lot of foreshadowing in the main line.
