Noble First Daughter-in-law

Song Yu opened his eyes wide in horror, watching the cold light pointing at the road in front of him, but at this moment, it was too late for him to turn the horse's head.

Just when the cold light was about to shoot out from Shang Ruyi's fingertips, suddenly, a figure rushed up the tower.

It's Nie Chong!
He leaned close to Shang Ruyi's ear and said something, Shang Ruyi immediately opened his eyes wide and turned to look at him with an expression of disbelief.

And all of this happened between lightning and flint.

Just when Song Yu saw this scene, before he had time to fully react, another Longxi soldier chased after him, waving his spear and almost stabbing him off his horse; at the same time, Shang Ruyi had already Turning her head to look at him again, she pulled the strong bow in her hand into a full moon again, and the arrows on the bowstring instantly flew towards the city like a bolt of lightning.

Finished!

Song Yu almost closed his eyes in despair.

However, the arrow flew past his head with a whizzing sound, hitting the soldier who was following him right in the middle, and the arrow rolled off the man, leaving Song Yu with a little life.

At the city gate ahead, those soldiers had already closed the gate until there was only a crack left, shouting desperately at him——

"Master Song, hurry up!"

"come on in!"

"Prepare to close the city gate."

Song Yu gritted his teeth and rode his horse vigorously, but without the obstruction of the flying arrows, the steed under him no longer hesitated, spread its hooves and galloped, and swished into the city gate .

The moment he entered the city gate, the gate closed with a bang!

The heavy sound, as if the sky and the earth were about to collapse, shook Song Yu's whole body. When he looked back, cold sweat broke out all over his body, soaking his clothes, and he suddenly fell off the horse.

Everyone hurried to catch him.

"Master Song!"

"Quick, take Mr. Song away quickly, and seal the door quickly!"

Amidst the people's busy talking and busy hands and feet, the huge door bolt fell and closed the door tightly, and two teams of soldiers lifted a few thick pillars and pressed them against the thick door panel. The person who didn't see Xue Xian brought the goalpost, but he must be prepared at this time.

When everything was ready, these soldiers held their breath nervously and listened to the movement outside.

While there was a panic downstairs, Shang Ruyi's heartbeat was as violent as the drums she beat that day. She took two deep breaths and finally calmed herself down.

Then he turned his head slowly and looked at Nie Chong beside him.

There was still a blood-red murderous intent in her eyes that had just risen up and would not recede in time, which made Nie Chong's heart tremble when he saw it.She only heard her deep voice: "Are you sure?"

Nie Chong was out of breath, but still nodded solemnly: "Young Madam, please rest assured, I am sure, and I have already taken it."

"……it is good."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, and then said: "Go down, the business here is not over yet."

"Yes."

Nie Chong didn't talk to her too much, he nodded and turned around to go down the tower.

At this time, when they heard the sound of the gate closing under the tower, the archers on the tower also stopped one after another. However, although they had just successfully resisted a wave of attacks from the Longxi Army, everyone had a look in their eyes. A look of disappointment, even decadence.

Because almost all of the more than 20 waterwheels were lost outside the city gate.

They have been busy for almost a whole day today, but they have fallen short here. In the city, those people who watched from afar saw that the city gate was closed, but no water truck was brought in, and they couldn't help but express their disappointment. lament.

"How could this be?"

"There's no more water, so why fight?"

"I'm dying of thirst."

Hearing those groans, the soldiers on the tower were even more frustrated. They looked at me and you, and they were a little discouraged.

For a while, everyone fell into that decadent mood again.

Although he had just ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, at this moment, Dai Junliang, who came up from the side, couldn't help frowning when he saw the dejected looks of the soldiers around him. He knew very well that morale was sometimes even worse than weapons. More importantly, if morale collapses, it will be difficult to win this battle.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help walking to Shang Ruyi's side, and said softly, "Young Madam..."

"Don't worry,"

As if seeing the anxiety in his eyes, Shang Ruyi slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand, still staring at the bottom of the tower, and said in a deep voice, "It's not yet the time for us to be depressed."

"..."

Dai Junliang didn't say anything, but followed her gaze and looked down the tower.

Just now, the rain of arrows shot a circle of spikes in front of the city gate, blocking those Longxi soldiers out of the shot.

Seeing that the city gate was closed, these people also stopped,
Xue Xian was still the one who took the lead and stood at the front of the team. He rode his horse and took two steps back, then turned his head to look at the people on the tower. But he didn't find that familiar figure in the crowd, only saw another slender and somewhat abrupt figure.

The general's wife who used to play drums to aid in the battle and helped Yu Wenye fight with him all the way, now stood on the tower again, and this time, what she held in her hand was no longer a drumstick, but a bow and arrow!

Even the general's wife went to the tower, but Yu Wenye, who was a general, did not show up.

Looking back at the more than 20 huge water tankers left behind by them, a gloomy smile slowly appeared on the corner of Xue Xian's mouth.

really……

"General!"

At this time, several lieutenants behind him also rushed up and asked, "How is it now?"

Xue Xian smiled grimly and said, "Their general has indeed fallen ill, and, as we thought before, that Jingguan passed the disease to the people in the city."

"really?"

"Otherwise, they wouldn't insist on going upstream to fetch water, and today, they have sent so many people, it is obvious that the water shortage in the city has reached its limit."

As he said that, Xue Xian turned his head slowly, and looked at the waterwheels parked in disorder around him. They were originally the expectations of the people in the city, but now they could only be left here helplessly. He sneered and said: "Now, without water, they have no soul."

"..."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity—"

Hearing what he said, all the soldiers around cheered with ferocious eyes, but Xue Xian had already slowly raised his hand and waved lightly at the people beside him.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling loud noise in the distance.

The sound also attracted the people on the tower. Dai Junliang and Yin Changyue also stepped forward, leaning on the battlements and looking down, only to see some huge shadows slowly moving out from the dense forest, and in the shadows On both sides of the gate, there was a group of densely packed black far points. Looking closely, they were infantrymen holding huge shields high. After they assembled, they pushed those huge shadows towards the tower.

That is actually the ladder used to attack the city!

Seeing these things, the soldiers on the tower also panicked, and everyone shouted: "Be careful!"

"They're going to attack the city!"

"How to do how to do?"

Originally, my mouth was dry due to lack of water, and I waited for a long time, but I watched those water tankers left outside the city gate by the general's mistake. Now, those powerful enemies are about to attack the city. Although they were discouraged, they could only cheer up at this time, but the arrows they shot seemed to be stained with their decadent emotions, and they became weak and powerless.

But the people under the city tower took advantage of this opportunity and put the ladder under the city tower in a short while.

Seeing this scene, Yu Wenjian frowned.

Before coming here, he really did not expect that Fufeng would fight to such an extent.

But what he didn't expect was that Shang Ruyi, who had been standing on the tower and fighting against the Longxi Army with the archers around, clearly felt the morale of the surroundings was low at this time. Bow and arrow, no longer fight back.

Instead, he quietly looked down.

It's more like—

He seemed to be waiting for Xue Xian's ladder to arrive.

Although Yu Wenzhen himself felt that this idea was a bit inexplicable, but the situation in front of him was indeed so. Even, when the first ladder was approaching the tower, Shang Ruyi even glanced down.

The ladder was stopped at the bottom of the city wall, but it tilted suddenly, and the people below panicked. After careful inspection, they found that the corner of the pillar under the ladder had fallen into a ditch.

Immediately, someone shouted loudly: "Be careful, there is a ditch here!"

Everyone looked down and saw that there was indeed a ditch half a person wide, covered with some grass and dead branches, and covered with a thin layer of soil, so no one noticed.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi's originally calm eyes, which were still a little red because of the murderous aura just now, suddenly burst into a cold light at this moment.

Even Yu Wenjian who was standing behind her felt that she seemed to tremble.

But said nothing.

Only Yin Changyue next to him jumped up to take a look, and said, "The ditch? Why is there a ditch there?"

"Master Yin, have you forgotten?"

Standing behind him, Dai Junliang said in a deep voice: "The military order left by the general before he fell ill was to close the city gates, dig deep ditches, hold the city firmly, and not fight."

Upon hearing these sixteen words, a trace of astonishment appeared on Yu Wenjian's calm face.

Immediately, a slight smile appeared in his clear eyes, and when he looked at Shang Ruyi again, there seemed to be a little admiration in his eyes.

It turned out to be so.

When Yin Changyue heard the military order, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Dig the ditch deep? Did you dig it here? When did you dig it? Why don't I know?"

"Just a few days ago, at night."

"But what's the use of digging a ditch here?"

While they were talking, a few more ladders were pushed down the city tower under the heavy rain of arrows. However, because someone reminded them, they all carefully avoided a road that surrounded the city walls on both sides and was almost half a person wide. Trench, began to put the ladder up the tower.

At this moment, Yin Changyue also panicked, and shouted desperately: "Quick, stop them!"

His frantic shouting finally aroused the fighting spirit of some people, and the soldiers behind lifted up the Thunder Stone Roller that had been prepared to deal with the enemy's ascension to the city, and smashed it down hard.

Just hear a bang.

The first cloud ladder on the city tower broke suddenly, and the people below who had not had time to climb the ladder were smashed to the side and fell to the side.

But Xue Xian showed no fear, and immediately waved his hand——

"Archer!"

Immediately, the archers under him shot back at the people on the tower, only to hear the sound of piercing through the air, and after a while, several soldiers on the tower fell to the ground, and the people below immediately took advantage of this gap. Putting the ladder on the tower, the soldiers of the Longxi Army began to climb up one by one.

"Quick, stop them!"

Someone shouted on the tower again, but this time, it was Shang Ruyi who rushed forward. She raised the strong bow in her hand, nocked the arrow, and drew the bow to a full moon. She said in a deep voice, "The water is gone. Take it again; but if you lose your life, you won’t have a chance.”

"..."

"If you are defeated, others will attack, can you afford to lose?!"

As soon as the voice fell, the arrow in his hand shot down with a whoosh.

The first soldier climbing on the long ladder was brandishing the spear in his hand and was about to pierce the battlements, but a cold light shot him in the face, and only heard a scream, and the man fell on his back.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding soldiers were also activated one after another.

Yes, the water is gone, you can get it again.

Life is gone, but nothing is left!

All of a sudden, the crowd let out powerful roars, and they threw rolling wood and thunder stones towards the tower with more force than before. Countless arrows were shot from the city tower, and for a while, even the sunset glow in the sky was covered by the cold light from the flying arrows.

However, soon, those roars and the sound of flying arrows were swallowed up by louder voices.

The people on the tower looked up, and their hearts sank immediately.

Just in front of the tower, more and more Longxi troops kept rushing up. They were the main force of Xue Xian's troops. When they attacked the city, they also took the opportunity to cross the river and charged towards the tower. They were completely covered up, and looking around, they were all densely populated by the Longxi Army.

Another group of archers rushed over, and before they even got close to the city gate, another burst of cold light shot out towards the top of the city tower.

Immediately, the people on the tower were suppressed by them and couldn't raise their heads, and taking advantage of this gap, the people on the tower were suppressed by them for a while, and they couldn't raise their heads. Holding the shield, he desperately climbed up.

After a while, someone jumped onto the tower.

The man was red-eyed, turned on the tower and rushed towards Dai Junliang who was wearing armor. Dai Junliang showed no fear, and chopped the man to the ground with just one knife.

However, more people are still climbing up!

Once someone climbed the tower, the hearts of the people on the tower could no longer be restored. Seeing that the ladder was already densely packed with people, and there were also soldiers of the Longxi Army below, and countless arrows flew overhead, crushing It made them breathless. This scene made the people on the tower even more desperate.

They seem to have reached a dead end.

And at this moment, a voice that was a little weak, but at this moment, exuding an extremely powerful breath sounded——

"Bring the fire!"

The people around were stunned.

Everyone raised their heads, but what they saw was Shang Ruyi, the general's wife who just followed them in shooting arrows and repelled the first wave of Longxi Army's attack, now she had no fear at all, still holding that bow, she shot herself again. A piece of cloth was torn off from the torn corner of his clothes, and wrapped around the sword point with a few swipes, he said to Dai Junliang, who was still stained with blood, "Now, it's time."

……

Everyone is stupid.

When is the time?

When is it?

The enemy army below the city tower is still rushing upwards, even if the people on the city tower resist, they are already so weak that they are almost useless. At this time, when is it?
But Dai Junliang at the side seemed to have finally waited for this moment, his eyes flashed, and he immediately said: "Torch!"

But at this time, he couldn't even wait for his subordinates, so he took a torch from the other side of the tower by himself, and handed it directly to Shang Ruyi.

Suddenly, the arrow wrapped around the cloth burst into flames.

The fire light suddenly illuminated everyone's eyes.

She is going to-

And just as Shang Ruyi raised the flaming arrow and drew the bow to the string, there was a calm voice on the other side, even at this moment, with a hint of a smile.

"Will you not give it to me?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the other side again, but it was a tall and handsome man, even so handsome that he was not like a mortal. An arrow, and the front part of the arrow was also entwined with a piece of clothing torn from his body.

It's Yuwen.

Although the soldiers didn't recognize the prince, Shang Ruyi had already seen him at a glance, and even saw his clear eyes, as if he had seen everything about him at a glance, and was only waiting for this moment.

Her heart skipped a beat suddenly.

But she didn't say anything, and at this moment, she didn't have time to say anything, so she nodded to Dai Junliang.

Although Dai Junliang was a little startled, he immediately stepped forward and lit the arrow in Yu Wenzhen's hand with the torch in his hand. He stretched his long arms and pulled the bow to the string, and put the burning arrow in the red glow. An arc was drawn in the sky.

Then, both of them aimed the arrows in their hands downward.

The people below the city tower were also a little shocked for a while.

Although the two sides were already full of guns and arrows, killing the world without light, but at this time, there were two arrows with flames, and when you looked carefully, they were not aimed at the Longxi Army in the distance. soldiers, not soldiers climbing ladders.

Rather, the ground under the tower.

To be precise, it was the trench that had been discovered and avoided on purpose - the ditch!
What are they going to do? !

At this time, Xue Xian suddenly noticed something keenly. He sniffed sharply, only to realize that the bottom of the ladder that had almost fallen into the ditch just now, and the ditch that was knocked out of a corner, seemed to emit some strange smell. The battlefield was dusty and bloody, but no one noticed it at all.

That taste is—

At this moment, the two people on the tower looked at each other, and Shang Ruyi said in a deep voice, "Say!"

As soon as the words fell, two flaming arrows, like two bolides, flew towards the ditch below the tower. With a puff, the arrows sank deeply into the ditch, and the flames disappeared immediately. In the eyes of everyone.

For a moment, everyone's hearts seemed to stop beating.

And at this moment, Xue Xian suddenly understood what the smell at the tip of his nose was, and he roared——

"careful!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was only a loud bang.

Two flames shot up from the trench, like two tall red walls, suddenly rose from the ground, and instantly engulfed several ladders that were originally placed on the tower!

I'm sorry everyone, I agreed to the third update, but I couldn't stop it as soon as I wrote it. I couldn't post it before 12 o'clock. I simply merged the two chapters and posted today's one
