Chapter 227 No.20 Scene Nine: Wolves Disaster Eight

"Quickly order the fire tower in the city to ring the bell as a warning, all members of the [-]th Army of the Military Guard are on standby, and the crossbowmen will follow me to the tower immediately!"

Qi Ziyin immediately ordered Zhi Jinwu next to him to pass on the order.

The tragic situation of the scout's corpse made the once proud Miyagi Imperial Guards nervous like an unworldly child, and immediately took orders to leave.Qi Ziyin also turned around and took his Yinya, and led the horse to rush out of the palace.

However, Mo Zeming stepped out without knowing when, and stopped the young man's horse with his cross arm:

"Brother Qi can't go!"

"Brother Zeming, what are you doing!"

The young man in white tugged at the reins and almost bumped into Mo Zeming, "You don't need to say any more. Even if Ning Yue is no longer in the city, I will not escape alone and abandon the people in the city!"

"But what if I tell you that going here will not only fail to save the lives of the entire city, but will instead push the entire Northern Territory and the entire Great Ascension Dynasty into an abyss of eternal doom?"

Even though the strong body of the horse almost collided with his thin body, the silver-haired boy didn't move at all, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

"Yujing's city defenses are difficult to shake even the heavy iron mountains of the past. Now facing a group of wild beasts with no tactics at all, how can they not save the people in the city, and how can they make Dasheng fall into doom?!"

Facing the persuasion from his companion, Qi Ziyin didn't listen at all, instead he raised his voice and shouted in a questioning tone, "Didn't you tell me before that Ning Yue was no longer in the city? Why? Today I specifically asked the Tuen Mun General who was guarding the city gate, but he said that Yujing has been under martial law since half a year ago, except for merchants, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter or leave."

"Brother Qi, are you questioning me?"

Mo Zeming was still calm and authentic, but finally took a big step to the side to make way.

The young Lord of the Kingdom of Ye didn't respond any more, he just clamped the horse's belly forcefully, and flew past the opponent's body as if flying.This time he insisted on going north, but he stumbled and his journey was not smooth.Right now, even the military adviser who once supported him the most disagrees with him.It made him both a little annoyed and a little helpless.

Seeing the back of the other party going away quickly, Leng Jiayun sighed softly, walked to the side of the silver-haired boy, and patted him on the shoulder lightly:

"Ziyin's temperament was not like this before. But you—why didn't you persuade me all of a sudden?"

"Talking too much will only make things more difficult to calculate..."

Mo Zeming shook his head, but murmured something incomprehensible to others as if he was talking to himself, "But that girl—is really a very strange existence in this world. Maybe this starry sky The trend of the future will be completely changed..."

With the alarm bell ringing in the watchtower, the bustling city of Yujing instantly became quiet.The doors and windows of each household were also tightly closed, and the fireworks were unknown.In the midst of the slaughter, only the low growls of the pack of wolves that were getting louder and louder could be heard outside the city from far to near.

"The wolf is coming!"

I don't know who whispered.Qi Ziyin, who had already rushed to the top of the city, followed the prestige of thousands of soldiers, and witnessed together a deep black shadow gradually condensed and expanded on the northern field, like a giant blanket, sweeping towards the city all over the mountains and plains .

The rain was still falling, but the stratus clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.The moment the twin moons emerged from behind the clouds, countless bright spots suddenly appeared on the giant carpet.The yellow-green wolf's eyes flickered and jumped, making one's heart skip a beat.The ensuing roar was like rubbing a knife against the skull, echoing in everyone's ears.

Qi Ziyin stood on the top of the wall, unable to hold back the fear in his heart any longer.At this time, he really understood why Jiang Yan sent a fast horse to send a message in a hurry, asking him to do everything possible to strengthen the city defense.And the galloping wolves pouring out all over the mountains and plains in front of him also made him worry about whether his friend was alive or dead.

In the dense rain, the pack of wolves was no longer a blurred back that merged into one.What is even more surprising is that under the night, these well-trained killers are like a human army, marching forward in a neat team.

The galloping wolf was advancing very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was already within a few miles of the city wall.Suddenly there was a sharp wolf howl, and the pack of wolves suddenly stopped, stopping precisely outside the range of the arrows.Looking around, the plain to the north of Yujing City was actually crowded by these terrifying giant beasts.The number is even more than estimated in Jiang Yan's letter!

Qi Ziyin only felt as if a cold poisonous snake had climbed up his back, and he didn't know when it would deliver a fatal blow.But at this time, he still didn't know the identity of the commander behind the wolves!
"There seems to be someone on the wolf's back!"

The sharp-eyed archer next to him suddenly yelled one after another, causing the boy in white to squint his eyes, and looked again at the pack of wolves that he didn't want to look at, and even dared not look at them.The wolves under the city seemed to be much taller than what I had imagined.The vehicle on the back of the wolf, and the people sitting in the vehicle, looked vague and strange in the chaotic night, but it made the calf twitch uncontrollably.

"Order the whole army to aim at the rider on the back of the wolf when the volley will be fired!"

Qi Ziyin drew out the red long knife, raised it above his head, and shouted loudly as if holding a torch.At the same time, there was another long howl among the wolves, and then the countless giant beasts that had already flaunted their teeth and claws, like locusts that became a disaster after autumn, launched an attack on this "No. [-] city in the world" with all their strength.

Before the young Lord Ye gave an order, the guards at the top of the city who had already drawn their bows to full strings poured iron arrows at the people and beasts below the city.What they aimed at was the head, shoulders and other vital points of the rider on the back of the wolf.However, after a round of densely woven salvos, they failed to stop the attacking rhythm of the wolves at all.

The beasts were still roaring and roaring, and rushed to the city in an instant, as if they were not knights on their backs at all.When he ran to the newly dug ditch under the city wall, the defenders at the top of the city finally saw clearly that the wolves were not carrying riders at all, but corpses that had died long ago.

Among the dead, there were gray-haired old people and young children who were underage.Without exception, all of these people were dressed in grassland costumes, and they were all members of the Muyun tribe who died on the Yanluo Plain before!
"Light it up! Shoot the wolves, shoot the wolves!"

The boy in white hurriedly ordered the defenders to replace the armor-piercing arrows in their hands with rockets, and launched another round of intensive volleys at the pack of wolves that charged first.

The flaming arrows, like countless meteors shining with golden light, dragged smoke trails and drew arcs in the air, shooting densely at the wolf's head, wolf's eyes, and wolf's back.

Under the city illuminated by the fire, it now looks even more hideous and terrifying.Even if the arrow hits the vital point, the arrowhead of the fire arrow is fully half shorter than the armor-piercing arrow, only about an inch long, and cannot penetrate the thick fur of the galloping wolf at all.The injured giant beast was irritated by the pain, and rushed towards the city even more recklessly.

The purpose of Qi Ziyin's actions was not to kill wolves.In addition to the arrows that hit the wolves, many more rockets fell straight into the ditch in front of the wolves.It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, suddenly there was a thumping sound, and a red-gold flame burst out suddenly, and it shot up in the air for more than ten feet, building another raging wall of fire in front of the city wall.

As for the galloping wolves near the ditch, their fur was ignited by the splashing kerosene on the spot, and immediately turned into balls of moving fireballs, and fell to the ground dead after a few screams.

However, the young man also knew in his heart that this wall of fire could not stop the wolves for too long.Sure enough, after only a moment of effort, the fire gradually weakened as the oil was consumed.Seeing this, the pack of wolves who had shrunk their necks and bowed their heads before the raging fire also arched their waists and jumped suddenly, jumping over the flames that could still reach their stomachs, and continued to attack the city!
The thousand or so giant beasts rushing forward seemed not to be afraid of pain at all, and actually waded through the last line of defense under the city made of barbed thorns and wooden repelling horses with their flesh and blood.And behind him, more terrifying beasts stepped on the corpses of their companions, spread their limbs and claws, and climbed up the steep city wall in exactly the same way as when attacking Suiyao City!
Seeing this, Qi Ziyin couldn't help panicking.It was hard for him to imagine how desperate Jiang Yan felt when he encountered these giant beasts on the undefended grassland.Thanks to his friend, the young man in white can still be at the top of the city, trying his best to prevent these ferocious beasts from attacking the city.

"Pour kerosene! Put the log!"

The young Lord Ye's orders seemed so insignificant amidst the chaotic shouts of killing and the howling of wolves, but it was like the only weak light when sailing in the dark night, making all the guards who had almost lost their direction The army will not be overwhelmed by excessive panic.

Accompanied by the dense rain of arrows and falling rocks, the wolves did not seize the opportunity to attack the city as they did in Suiyao City.Today, all the military equipment that has been sealed up in Lian Yu's capital for many years has already been moved to the city wall with a width of [-] steps. There are even Xiaoqi guards driving tall horses, galloping around the city wall to deliver orders.

This battle lasted a whole night.It wasn't until the dawn of the morning that the crossbowmen who had drawn their bows until they could no longer lift their arms realized that the pack of wolves in the city had already receded, leaving only some wounded and remnant wolves as bait to continue to attract the defenders at the top of the city during the night. Note that most of the cover is withdrawn from the battlefield.And the whole night, the people on the top of the city were just wasting precious arrows at the dead wolf corpses in the darkness.

Now, except for the thousands of giant wolf corpses under the city wall, which were full of feather arrows, everything seemed to have never happened, and fell into an endless silence for a long time.

Frightened, the defenders had no way of knowing whether this was a feint shot by the enemy, or some other trick.The meticulous cooperation and orderly advance and retreat shown by the pack of wolves last night are comparable to the elite of the most powerful vassal states on land.Now, for Party B who defended the city without any casualties and won the human-wolf war, the fact that he was lucky enough to survive was as illusory as a dream.

Finally, the crowd on the top of the city gradually came to their senses and began to discuss in whispers.However, before they played their crowns to celebrate, they heard a long trumpet suddenly sounded in the city of Yujing, which was supposed to be still asleep!

Among the [-] vassal states in the Dasheng Dynasty, only Sa Xueqi of Yubei would blow the horn similar to that of the Di people's army when facing each other.However, it is absolutely impossible for Yubei to participate in the defense of the city at this time, and the sound of the horn in the city is getting louder and louder!

In the blink of an eye, the pack of wolves that had retreated from the city the night before showed their ferocious faces again in the dense forest in the south of the city.With their backs facing the rising sun, the ferocious beast once again charged down the city of Yujing with all its strength, but at this time the defenders who had stayed up all night were exhausted and unable to fight any more.

"Quickly adjust people to the city to change defenses, change defenses!"

Qi Ziyin ordered in a hoarse voice.However, before the words were finished, he suddenly heard a loud "bang" like thunder behind him, and the flames in the direction of Chiwu Gate in the south of the city blazed brightly, followed by dense smoke, and bursts of exclamations resounded throughout the city.

Immediately afterwards, under the other three walls leading to the palace city along the mountains and rivers, the same loud noise was heard, which reverberated in the sky over Yu Jing, making people tremble with fear.It wasn't until the young cavalry guards reported back from the fast horses that the young Lord Ye finally realized that the four main gates that he thought could keep the wolves outside the city turned into countless broken bricks under a series of loud noises. Broken tiles!
Today, the city wall of Yujing, which stood on this plain for thousands of years, collapsed with the billowing smoke and dust together with the fragmented city gate.On the other hand, the gap can be more than half a mile wide and several feet narrow.But for the pack of wolves who were charging with all their strength outside the city, there was no longer any obstacle in front of them.

Qi Ziyin struggled to support his body which had already lost strength, and hurriedly led the defenders stationed in the northern city to rush to the city gate for help.But the galloping wolves had already poured into the city from the gap like a tide, frantically biting all the living things that appeared in front of them, no matter how hard it was to resist.And this "No. [-] City in the World", which was once bustling and prosperous and witnessed the glory of the Dasheng Dynasty for a thousand years, also completely fell at this moment and turned into a purgatory on earth!
The young man suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his ears, as if a swarm of bees was flying.He watched helplessly as the giant wolf ripped off the limbs and bit off the neck of the warrior who had fought side by side.He also felt the blood splattered and splattered on his face, still warm.He even felt that the Yin Ya in his hand had cut off the bodies of fierce beasts, as if cutting through skin sacs filled with blood.

However, everything now has no meaning in his eyes.When the wolves entered the city, no one survived where they passed.Perhaps soon, even the young man himself will become one of the countless corpses in the city.

Under the scuffle, something suddenly attracted the attention of the young Lord Ye.It was two figures of a man and a woman.However, different from the people in the city who were fleeing in a hurry, those two men actually built an invisible wall with their own strength in front of the wolves' minions, protecting hundreds of trapped people from leaving.

And the girl among them looked a little familiar.

"Ning Yue—is Ning Yue you?!"

The boy in white couldn't care less, swung his knife vigorously to cut a bloody path in front of him, and roared a little tremblingly.

The girl on the opposite side heard someone calling herself, and her shoulders shook because of the familiar voice, and then she turned her face in disbelief, and looked in the direction of the shout:
"Ziyin? So it turned out that you were the Duke Ye who they said saved Dasheng Sheji!"

In this way, the boy and the girl who had been separated for many years and had not seen each other stood in the street full of screams and screams, embracing each other and weeping.And time also froze at this moment, making the bloody killings and pervasive crises all around seem like a nightmare, as if disappearing at this moment.
