Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 86 It's not like life and death!

The eyes of the middle-aged man were looking directly at the top of the city, those eyes were cold and cold, without the slightest emotion, just one glance would make one's heart tremble.

This is a cruel man.

Yuan Yuchen spoke one of his own sons, and the spies captured by Qin Zheng and the others confessed that the real mastermind behind the incident in Xuzhou was the second prince Xiyuan. Therefore, Xie Jinhua guessed that it was the second prince Xiyuan, and all the rumors about the second prince Xiyuan It proves that he is a cruel person, at least he has never been a person who cares about blood and family.

Xie Jinhua had a bad premonition in his heart. When the middle-aged man raised his hand after glancing at him, he yanked Qin Zheng in front of him: "Get away!"

The long arrows kept falling like rain, and Qin Zheng and Xie Jinhua stood aggressively at the positions where they were standing just now. There were more than a dozen long arrows standing upright. The tails of the arrows trembled, carrying infinite murderous intent.

From arrival to attack, there was not a word of extraneous words. He clearly saw that his son was hijacked, and his life and death were uncertain, but he directly ordered to release arrows, and even ordered to release arrows at Yuan Yuchen's side.

The rain of arrows followed one after another, and the already dark sky was covered by the rain of black arrows, and even the few sporadic stars could not be seen clearly.

The smell of blood spread throughout the entire Xuzhou city, above the top of the city, and screams rang in his ears. Yuan Yuchen was thrown out by Qin Zheng to block a few arrows, and was moaning in the corner of the wall at the moment.

He was surrounded by a few guards who came in time, and the sword in his hand kept chopping down the falling arrows, with a somewhat panicked expression on his face.

At this time, how could they care about Qin Zheng and Xie Jinhua.

Qin Zheng didn't look at them any more, because it was obvious that Yuan Yuchen was of no use to the people in the city.

Holding Xie Jinhua behind his back, the boy's thin back is hard flesh and blood: "Hold tight!"

Qin Zheng yelled hastily, and after feeling the weight on his back, he picked up a long arrow on the ground and threw it downwards, towards the person who was suspected to be the second prince of Xiyuan in the front. Mixed in the rain of arrows, and Qin Zheng didn't know what method he used, the long arrow pierced the air without a sound, and not many people could notice it.

Seeing the long arrow approaching in front of him, and it was still aimed at several vital parts such as the face and chest, he could defend against one arrow but not the second, the middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, extremely calm, at the same time , the few heavy armored cavalry around him who had not moved all the time raised their shields forward fiercely.

The hard and thick shield is like a giant tortoise shell gate that surrounds the surroundings, blocking the middle-aged man in a safe place, and all the arrows fall on the shield, no matter how tricky the angle is, no matter how powerful the back arrow is. , and there is no way to break through.

However, Qin Zheng didn't think that he could kill the opponent with a dozen long arrows at hand. If it was really that easy, then the opponent would have died more than ten years ago and could not die anymore.

Qin Zheng just wanted to gain a gap. After he shot, the continuous rain of arrows in the sky obviously paused.

At this moment, Qin Zheng carried Xie Jinhua on his back, grabbed a flag on the top of the city, and waved the sporadic long arrows down, and the people had already jumped up and fell into the city from the city wall.

The people in the city were in chaos. In the burst of arrow rain just now, most of the people who died were those who rushed out of the city gate first, and those who did not rush out survived, but it may not last long.

In addition to the common people, there are also those Daqing generals who were supposed to frighten and kill the common people, and the Daqing generals who obeyed the orders of the Ningzhou prefecture. They were also killed countless people by that burst of arrows. Who, why should they be killed together.

The state capital of Ningzhou is dead, but the guard general of Xuzhou is nowhere to be seen.

"Closing the city gate! Those are heavy armored soldiers from Xiyuan, who want to close the city gate with their lives."

Xie Jinhua let out a stern voice, but no matter how loud her voice was, it was not as loud as crying and begging for mercy all over the city. Her voice was quickly drowned out, like a drop of rainwater falling into the sea, unable to stir up any ripples.

I can't run like this anymore. No matter how fast I run, I won't be able to run faster than that group of enemies on horses. If I run any longer, I will only become prey in the eyes of the enemies who are not threatened and killed at will.

The only hope now is to defend. Xie Jinhua doesn't know why there is such a group of heavy soldiers outside, who can hide the cities along the way, and can cross the border. All of them were beheaded directly, not afraid of attracting people's attention, she just knew that now she wanted to do everything possible to save her own life, especially Qin Zheng's.

Qin Zheng came with her, and she was responsible.

The moment Qin Zheng fell into the city with her on his back, Xie Jinhua struggled to get off his back and ran towards the gate of the city.

Qin Zheng didn't say a word, but at the moment Xie Jinhua rushed towards the city gate, he also rushed over. The tattered flag in his hand spun like the wind, and Xie Jinhua was fully protected: "Close the city gate, then It's Xiyuan's heavy armored soldiers, who want to live to close the city gate!"

He also yelled, repeating Xie Jinhua's words without the slightest hesitation, but compared to Xie Jinhua's shout that was quickly drowned out, his voice was blessed with internal strength and was quickly heard by everyone.

Qin Zheng grabbed Xie Jinhua's hand and didn't let her run forward.

Xie Jinhua turned her head and was about to exit, Qin Zheng had already picked her up, took a few jumps and chose a hidden and safer place, and put Xie Jinhua there: "I'll go!"

He raised his foot and rushed to the gate of the city.

Xie Jinhua grabbed his sleeve.

Qin Zheng glanced back at her and smiled brightly: "Sister, don't worry, my life will not be so easy!"

After enduring so many difficulties and humiliation, he finally got to know a Xie Jinhua, so how could he be willing to die.

After the words fell, the people had already rushed towards the gate of the city.

"Follow me to close the city gate!"

At a moment of bewilderment and life and death, the human heart is the most fragile and the most conformist.

Some people chose to run, so many people ran with them. Most of them didn't know whether they were friends or foes. , There are too many people standing there, waiting for death to come.

At the moment when Xie Jinhua and Qin Zheng shouted to close the city gate one after another, and at the moment when Qin Zheng rushed towards the city gate against the rain of arrows, soldiers slowly picked up the weapons in their hands, blocked the rain of arrows, and headed towards the gate of the city rush away.

"Close the city gate!"

"Stop!"

"Close the gate!"

The voice of one person can be drowned out, but the voices of ten, hundreds, or thousand people gather together to form a loud noise like thunder, which is the courage of all.

No one wants to die, no one.

Long arrows streaked across the sky, and a figure fell down, but there were more people getting closer to the city gate.

The one at the front is Qin Zheng.

His figure is like electricity, his face is like ice, in the rain of arrows, he waved a knife and a flag like the wind in his hand, but there are too many long arrows, he has already been injured in many places, and there is no blood on his black clothes, but his feet The bloodstains left by every step forward are just like everything else.

Xie Jinhua stared intently at the young man's back, gritted his teeth and lowered his head, corrected a direction, pointed his broken wrist at a wooden post, and hit it hard.

There was a suppressed groan in the throat, and there was a click, and the wrist bones of one hand met, but Xie Jinhua's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his body was weak, and he almost wanted to lie down.

She cannot become Qin Zheng's burden.

At least let your hands move.

Over there, Qin Zheng finally arrived at the gate of the city. His hands were resting on the gate, the veins on his forehead and back of his hand swelled. The mechanism above the city that controls the opening and closing of the city entrance has long been destroyed, and now it is only possible to close the city gate by manpower.

The young man was shot with an arrow in the shoulder, Qin Zheng continued to exert force, and the blood stained quickly from the wound.

Many people's eye sockets were red.

The soldiers of the common people who followed him put their hands on the city gate one by one.

Under the distant city, the middle-aged man who had never changed his color finally changed his expression.

Frowning slightly, a little worried: "Enter the city as soon as possible!"

Take the lead in riding forward.

There were so many accidents that he thought would be foolproof, he lost his patience after all.

The heavy armored cavalry is extremely powerful. Although they are not invulnerable, they are as terrifying as a meat grinder when encountered on the battlefield.

However, heavy armored cavalry also has the same defect, that is, they are not flexible, especially their speed is not fast. After all, heavy armored cavalry has heavy armor and weapons, each of them adds more than a hundred catties, which is not light for the horses underneath. burden.

Therefore, although the sound of the rumbling charge was deafening, and although the momentum was terrifying, they did not enter the city in time as their master wished.

The gate of the city moved faster, and in the crack of the gate that was gradually closing, there were heavy soldiers in black armor close at hand.

Boom.

Completely shut the enemy out of the city gate.

Most of the rainy long arrows have stopped, and there are not many remaining long arrows that have crossed the high city. As long as you are careful, you will not be shot.

"blocked"

Some people murmured in disbelief.

There was blood under their feet, the blood of their own people, surrounded by dead faces, the faces of relatives, they thought they were dead too.

"Really blocked!"

Someone wept with joy.

"The guards took up their swords and shields and followed me to the top of the city. The young and strong stood up against the city gate. The women, children, old and young in the city please prepare hot water, boiled oil, wood and stones for us, and send them to the top of the city. Those Xiyuan soldiers are alone. As long as I persevere, I will be able to wait for my Daqing reinforcements, I have already sent people to report, as long as I persevere, I will surely avenge my relatives and friends by then!"

Qin Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, but in everyone's ears at this moment, it was effective like an imperial decree.

It also works like rain.

Qin Zheng is Xie Jinhua's entourage, and Xie Jinhua is an imperial envoy. Qin Zheng's words must be right, and the reinforcements will definitely arrive soon.

Coupled with the well-organized arrangements in Qin Zheng's words, it is even more subconsciously convincing.

At this moment, everyone has forgotten everything before, the common people have forgotten their resentment and hatred towards the imperial court, the guards have forgotten that they obeyed the order of the Ningzhou prefecture to kill the common people, and everyone obeyed Qin Zheng's words and left with a division of labor.

There were several long arrows stuck in Qin Zheng's body. As he approached, a strong smell of blood came into his nostrils.

Xie Jinhua's eyes were a little red.

Qin Zheng stretched out his hand and broke off the shafts of several long swords. The blood stained most of the clothes, his hair, cheeks and hands were full of blood. He was in a miserable state, but the moment he saw Xie Jinhua, he just She smiled at Xie Jinhua: "Sister, wait for me to come back."

He always said such a sentence to her, he always asked her to wait for him to come back.

But again and again, most of Qin Zheng's dangers come from her.

Qin Zheng had already turned his head and led the people towards the city wall.

Xie Jinhua looked at the tall and straight figure of the young man, looked at the figure standing high on the top of the city, and said with red eyes, "I won't wait for you."

She picked up a long arrow on the ground and followed Qin Zheng's footsteps.

She is Xie Jinhua, Xie Jinhua can't wait for someone to come back, she is a burden to get close to her, but to defend the city, her arrow skills can at least be useful.

Instead of waiting behind him, it's better to live and die together!
