Chapter 54 The Beiyi People Are Coming

"Zhang Guo, the captain of the Pioneer Battalion, brought people to join the enemy!!...Beiyi people are coming, run away!"

The cavalry on horseback passed by them like lightning, and rushed straight into the city gate not far away.

On the other side, in the loess smoke and dust rolled up in the distance, the horses and cavalry of the Beiyi people had already roared.

"Go into town! Go into town!" someone yelled.

People who heard the commotion quickly ran out of the house, screaming and crying, and swarmed towards the city gate.

Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan were dragged by two or three soldiers to run into the city gate. The "persimmon" in her hand fell to the ground, and was soon trampled to pieces by the people behind, leaving only the emerald green grass blades stubborn Stretched upwards.

The children couldn't stand still in the waves of adults desperately rushing forward, and soon someone was trampled under their feet, making miserable screams.

"Xunya, second-rate! Don't run away, everyone, hold on to me! Hold on to me!" Guan Yifei shouted desperately in the crowd.

Xie Yuan wanted to turn around and pull up Xunya who had fallen behind him, but just as he stretched out his hand, Xunya's figure lying on the ground was no longer visible, no matter how hard she tried to struggle out, it was useless.

"Xun Ya!" Xie Yuan yelled in horror, but his voice was submerged in the crowd of people crying and screaming because of panic, and it seemed so weak and inaudible.

"A Yuan! Brother Liu! A Yuan is still behind, A Yuan is still behind!" Shen Liuzhen was held in his arms by the Shen family's soldiers, and rushed to the front, looking at Xie Yuan who was getting farther and farther behind him, seeing her drowning In a crowd of people, he couldn't help thumping and shouting.

Liu Qinbing glanced back and said, "...There are two people looking after her at the back. I'll send you in first, and I'll look for her later."

After all, he still took Shen Liuzhen and squeezed towards the gate of the city.

At this time, there is no dignity, no status.Everyone was running for their lives, as if they could live if they squeezed into the cave of the city gate ahead, and they would die if they stayed outside.

So who cares who the people around him are, and who squeezes and tramples on whom?
Isn't it all a life?
The general defending the city standing on top of the city gate looked at the cavalrymen of Wei State who were getting closer and closer in the distance, and then looked at the black heads of people like ants, which were crowding in more and more densely. Because it was too crowded, it gradually became It became a stagnant mass.

He gritted his teeth, waved his hand resolutely, and shouted: "Close the city gate!" The rough roar was transmitted from the city wall.

Immediately, two groups of soldiers pulled the chains on both sides of the city gate. The chains as thick as arms were leaned against their waists, and they fell back at the same time like a tug of war.

The chains on the drawbridge turned in gears.The wooden bridge deck carried the crowded flow of people up and down, making a painful "creaking" sound.

The crowd became even more panicked, and their desperate cries hit the city wall like sea waves, rushed over the city gate, and rushed forward with more force, hoping to hold onto the suspension bridge and be the last lucky one.

But it caused more people to fall into the moat, struggling to death frequently, causing a white spray, like boiling hot water.

The city guard who gave the order looked down at this scene, his face under the helmet was distorted with guilt, and his teeth were gritted.

But if the city gate is not closed, the whole city will be destroyed!
"Go back! If not, let's shoot the arrows!" He shouted at the people below, then turned his head and said to the soldiers pulling the iron chain, "Come more people, pull quickly!"

Below the city gate, Liu Qinbing with Shen Liuzhen watched as the suspension bridge three steps away left the ground, and turned up faster and faster, and the people on it were thrown into the water like dumplings in a pot.

He raised his head and cursed viciously:
"I grass your ancestors!" He hurriedly took Shen Liuzhen back to find another way out.

He didn't have the heart to hate the cold-blooded people on the city wall, nor did he have the time to mourn himself.Because as a person who has fought in battle, he knows that if he is on top, he will make the same decision.

Right now, the most important thing is to find a way to keep the general's only son and the daughter of the Xie family!

Behind them came the cavalry of the Beiyi people, their speed was so fast that they were about to reach the range of the bow and arrow.

He quickly shouted loudly: "Go back and hide! Go back and hide!"

The city gate had already been closed, and everyone had no hope, so they could only run back to the newly built houses next to them.

If it was the shack in the past, they would have nowhere to hide. Although the house is simple now, it has walls and doors. If you shut yourself in, you can escape the swords of one or two soldiers, right?
Guan Yifei had to take care of those children, and a few of them huddled together to resist the pushing and pushing of the crowd, so they didn't run very far.Xie Yuan didn't go far because he was worried about them.At this time, they went back to Guan Yifei's house and hid together.

Liu's soldiers with Shen Liuzhen were in the crowd and quickly approached Guan Yifei.

Even though he was walking fast, he was greeted by a wave of bows and arrows from the Northern Yi people, and those who hadn't had time to hide were shot by the bows and arrows and fell to the ground one after another.

Liu Qinbing took an arrow in his arm, and ran to the door of Guan Yifei's house.Xie Yuan had been watching all the time, and almost rushed out. Seeing that they escaped the arrow rain and ran back, he quickly opened the door to let them in.

Shen Liuzhen was released by Liu Qinbing.Liu Qinbing leaned against the door and began to bandage his wound.Xie Yuan looked at Shen Liuzhen, and saw that he was shaking with fright, his teeth were chattering, and he couldn't even speak.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan hurried up and hugged him, saying: "Liu Zhen, don't be afraid, we are here!"

Shen Liuzhen was hugged by Xie Yuan's warm body, and his erratic consciousness came back to his senses, and he murmured:
"Arrows were aimed at my face... so many dead people, they all died so badly..."

"Brother Guan! Xun Ya is gone!" At this moment, a child called out.

In the dim room, Guan Yifei hurriedly looked around for people, calling their names, and after a while.

"The hill isn't there either."

"There are also second-rates...the second-rates haven't come back yet...Brother Guan, they must be dead, right?" said another child, and immediately began to howl loudly.Then it caused the other children to cry.

Especially young children, weeping in unison, loudly, as if they were afraid that others would not hear them.

Liu Qinbing just wrapped up the wound where the arrow shaft was broken, when he saw this scene, he shouted angrily:
"Why are you crying! The enemy is outside, do you want to be killed?!"

The children were startled and stopped talking.

When Xie Yuan heard that Xun Ya hadn't come back, his heart ached, and he immediately let go of Shen Liuzhen and looked out the crack of the door. Their house was in the corner, and he could just see the scene of the cavalry crossing the frontier.

Many people fell on the road, some with arrows stuck in their bodies, and some who had just been trampled to death.

Xun Ya was originally following her, Xie Yuan wanted to die with guilt and remorse.If only I could hold her tightly just now...

She smiled at her shyly earlier, holding the squeezed "persimmon" in both hands and handing it to her.Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the small figure was lying on the ground, submerged in the crowd.

A person who was alive one moment may be dead the next moment... Xie Yuan couldn't accept it because of such a contrast, and his heart ached like a twist.

She clawed at the crack of the door, gritted her teeth and stared at the small corpses that might be Xunya outside, stubbornly trying to see the faces of those corpses clearly, and desperately hoped that she could appear in front of the door in the next moment ...
