First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 497 Defend the city! (Two more)

  The news that Chen Guo’s army is going to invade the ancient city of Yue has already spread, and the doors and windows of every house are closed.

  Gu Chengfeng stood on the tower, wandering anxiously and looking out.

  Finally, he waited for a large number of soldiers from Chaoyue Ancient City, but Tang Yueshan and Gu Jiao were not seen among them.

   "There are still people behind." A soldier said.

  Gu Chengfeng told them to enter the city quickly.

  Wounded soldiers came one after another, but Gu Jiao was never seen, and a layer of frost gradually condensed between Gu Chengfeng's eyebrows.

  With Gu Jiao for so long, how could he not guess what Gu Jiao was doing?

  According to the usual practice, there are really wounded people who are brought back to the city for treatment, but if they die halfway or become disabled for life, there is no way, but Gu Jiao would not do this.

   "You girl..."

  Gu Chengfeng squeezed his fists. At this moment, I really regret letting her pick up Tangyue Mountain. It would be fine if she was allowed to stay here.

  No, if she stays behind, the soldiers will suffer a lot more casualties...

  Just as Gu Chengfeng was extremely anxious, the soldier on the side suddenly said: "My lord! Look!"

  Gu Chengfeng raised his eyes and looked out.

  Gu Jiao is back!

  She rode the most handsome and fastest horse, holding the longest and heaviest gun, and rushed all the way!

  Along with her, Tang Yueshan and his soldiers rushed back.

  And not far behind the group, Chen Guotie was chasing frantically.

   Chen Guo's army has recalled that they were fooled, and the court’s reinforcements have not arrived at all. All is just a few soldiers playing mystery and suspicion!

  In order to find the place, more than four thousand Chen Guotie cavalry, with the momentum of stepping through the mountains and rivers, launched a crazy pursuit of Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan and his party!

  Upstairs, Cheng Taishou saw this thrilling scene. His legs were so frightened that he shook his body and almost hit the wall!

  He said in shock: "Oh! Chen's army is here! Close the city gate! Close the city gate!"

   "Do not close!" Gu Chengfeng sternly shouted!

Taishou Cheng bitterly persuaded: "My lord! If you don’t pass it, it’s too late! If you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about the people in the city! I know that Marshal Tang and another adult are out there, but for their tenths. A few lives will catch the lives of the people in the city..."

  He couldn't say anything afterwards.

  Regardless of whether he was really thinking about the people in the city or he was greedy for life and fear of death, one thing Gu Chengfeng had to admit was that once Chen Guo's cavalry came in, the gatekeeper could no longer close.

  Chen’s army will drive straight ahead, and the people in the city will suffer from war, and their lives will be disgraced!

  But Gu Jiao is still below!

   "My lord!" Cheng Taishou looked at Gu Chengfeng choked up.

  Gu Chengfeng squeezed his fists, and his body trembled slightly: "Wait... wait again."

  600 steps, 500 steps, 400 steps...

  Cheng Taishou was anxious: "My lord! Can't wait any longer! The city gate was not closed all at once!"

  The gates are thick and heavy, they are all on winches, and dozens of guards need to pull the iron ropes at the same time to slowly close them.

  A hundred steps.

   Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth: "...Close the city gate!"

  Cheng Taishou hurriedly said to the guard on the side: "Quick! Quickly notify the gate of the city!"

  Dozens of guards guarding the city pulled up the wire rope on the winch, the winch slowly turned, the city gate began to close, and outside the city gate, the ingenuity laid on the moat began to slowly rise.

  Gu Jiao took the lead, her horse was good, and she could easily step on it, but she came to an emergency stop in front of the city gate!

  She tightened the reins, turned around and said, "The wounded soldiers go in first!"

  Two wounded soldiers rode their horses onto the bridge that was raised by one foot.

   Immediately afterwards, she let Hu Dongqiang and the archers walk on the bridge in turn.

  When the last archer was on the bridge, Chen Guo's cavalry attacked them. The overwhelming arrows came. The archer’s horse hit the arrow, and one man and one horse fell to the ground immediately.

  Gu Jiao rode over, leaned out, grabbed the archer and threw it on the bridge.

  At this time, the bridge has been half closed, and the horse can no longer step up.

  "Stop! Stop!" Gu Chengfeng said loudly.

   "Can't stop!" Cheng Taishou said.

  The more the aircraft bridge went to the back, the faster it rose. The aircraft bridge was almost closed, while Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan were still outside.

  While avoiding the bows and arrows of Chen Guo's cavalry, Tang Yueshan grabbed Gu Jiao and threw her on the bridge!

  Everything happened in a flashlight. When Gu Jiao fell off the bridge, the bridge closed behind her with a bang!

  There is only the last gap in the city gate.

  Gu Jiao rolled numbly and rolled behind the city gate.

  Since then, the gate has also closed.

  Tang Yueshan rides on the horse, holding a saber, looking at the four thousand Chen Guo cavalry who are coming towards him with death.

  The archery skills of Chen Guo's cavalry are not very good, but if ten thousand arrows are fired, there will always be a few that can shoot Tangyue Mountain.

   "Let the arrow!"

  The overwhelming arrows shot towards Tangyue Mountain densely. Tangyue Mountain did not have any shield to cover up, he only had a long sword in his hand.

  Just as Tang Yueshan was about to be shot into a sieve, a vigorous figure volleyed down, and a whip came over and curled up Tang Yueshan’s waist and abdomen.

   "Go!"

  Following Gu Chengfeng’s order, the soldiers on the tower tried their best to pull the rope, pulling the two up together!

  Almost at the same moment, hundreds of arrows penetrated the place where Tangyue Mountain originally stood, and shot all over the city wall!

  ……

  This battle is no longer the life and death of any one person, but the survival and death of the people in the city, and the blessing and curse of Zhaoguo's mountains and rivers.

  At present, the biggest grievances are private grievances.

  Gu Chengfeng and Tang Yueshan went down the tower, and saw Gu Jiao who was treating the wounded in the temporary military tent.

  Gu Jiao didn't know that Tang Yueshan was rescued.

  As soon as she entered the city, the city gate was closed.

  It was Tang Yueshan who sacrificed her chance of survival and threw her in. She understands this, but she will not sleep in the emotions it brings.

  She quickly entered a state of combat readiness.

   Her calmness and determination once again shocked Tang Yueshan.

  If she hadn't seen everything she had done before, Tang Yueshan would have thought she was an extremely cold-blooded person.

   Tang Yueshan and Gu Chengfeng saw that she was okay, and they didn't bother her.

  Tang Yueshan took over the defense of Yue Ancient City. The two thousand infantry and five hundred archers he brought back from Yecheng, plus the five thousand army in the city, totaled 7,500 and nearly 600 wounded.

  All wounded soldiers requested to fight, but Gu Jiao had to assess that she thought they could fight before they could return to the team.

  In addition, nearly half of the five thousand army in Yue Ancient City were temporary recruits from the people, and these people would not rush to the front line to die.

  Tang Yueshan singled out martial arts practitioners and joined the rear camp. Those without martial arts stayed on the tower, mainly responsible for assisting ordnance attacks, such as throwing stones.

  In addition, weapons and armor are not enough.

  Tang Yueshan asked his subordinates to summon the blacksmiths in the city and let them forge overnight.

"and many more."

   "Marshal Tang, what else do you want?"

  Tang Yueshan paused, and said to Lieutenant General Li: "Forge one more armor."

  Chen State's nearly 20,000 soldiers approached the city, and the turbulent area was like a giant beast that could engulf the ancient city of Yue at any time.

  The doors and windows of the people in the city were closed tightly, and everyone was in danger.

  There is not much grain and grass in the Prefectural Mansion. Without the garrison, the grain and grass were originally enough for more than two thousand guards. Now there are five thousand more mouths, and the granary of the Prefectural Mansion instantly becomes stretched.

  Gu Chengfeng’s task is to buy grain and grass from the people in the city.

  Go with Master Hu.

  "Go to the rice shop in the city first." Gu Chengfeng said.

  Master Hu took Gu Chengfeng to a rice shop near the tower.

  The door of the rice grain shop has long been closed, but the boss still dare not keep the door behind.

   "How much rice you have in your shop, sell it to me." Gu Chengfeng said to the boss.

  The boss glanced at Gu Chengfeng suspiciously.

  "Is there no more?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

   "Ah... yes, yes!" The boss bit his head and handed over the rice grains in the shop, "Master Guan, there is only that much, there will be no more."

   "How much is it together?" Gu Chengfeng said as he took out his wallet.

  The boss was taken aback again. This time he was sure that he had not misheard it. The official man really came to buy food, not...to collect the food.

  The boss took out the abacus, cracked it for a while, and said cautiously: "A total of five taels of silver."

  Gu Chengfeng gave him the silver.

  The boss held the silver in his hand and was dumbfounded for a long time.

   After Gu Chengfeng bought food and went out, he found that there were more prying heads on the street.

Every household opened a crack in the door, and the people looked at Gu Chengfeng with curiosity and fear.

  A little boy who was about the same age as Xiao Jingkong ran out. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, nor is he afraid of officials.

  He came to Gu Chengfeng's face, raised his head, and asked grimly: "Are we going to die? Are you going to run?"

  His mother rushed out, hurriedly took him into her arms, and covered his small mouth.

  "My lord, forgive me! My lord, forgive me!" The woman knelt down, kowtow to Gu Chengfeng to admit her mistake.

   "No."

  A deserted voice sounded not far away without rushing.

  Gu Jiao brought Hu Dongqiang to the medicine shop in the city to grab herbs.

   Standing in front of the little baby and the woman, she pointed to Tang Yueshan who was ordering soldiers at the entrance of the camp, and said, “See that man? He is the marshal of the world’s soldiers and horses, and all soldiers in Zhaoguo listen to his orders.”

  The little doll looked at the burly and tall Tangyue Mountain: "Wow!"

  Gu Jiao pointed to Gu Chengfeng again: “Also, he is the second young master of the Gu Jiajun. Gu Jiajun is the most powerful army in Zhaoguo. They will be there soon on their way here.”

  The little doll looked at Gu Chengfeng in Yushu Linfeng again: "Wow!"

Gu Chengfeng's heart was complicated and surging when he was seen by the child's innocent and admired eyes. For the first time, he felt the burden on his shoulders. He took a deep breath, as if to a little baby, and as if to the whole street. The people said: "Yes! My eldest brother will be here soon! He has brought one hundred thousand Gujiajun! Don't worry, Yue Ancient City will be saved! Even if we fight to the last person, we will definitely defend this city!"

I saw people asking why they wanted to break the cold, um... Actually, I installed a squat machine at home and accidentally overturned the car. When unpacking, I used a newly bought knife to scratch a thin, deep and long finger. The bleeding volume is a bit big. Tetanus bacillus is an anaerobic bacterium. Generally, this kind of deep and airtight opening is safe. Doctors will recommend an injection. Those with the skin open and fleshy are not conducive to the growth of tetanus bacillus.
