Chapter 126 The Crop Man
Seeing the farmers leaving, Quan Guanji, who had been anxious, still got some relief. Siheng and Ling Feiyan, who witnessed everything on the city wall, said: "Don't you think this is a bit strange?"
"What an admirable thing for these people to stand up to guard their own homes? How strange is it?" Ling Feiyan really didn't understand Siheng's words.
"First of all, Anzhou City has been away from war for a hundred years. People have long been used to stable days. Sudden war will definitely make people afraid. Of course, there will always be some brave people among the tens of thousands of people, but I don't look at some farmers."
Ling Feiyan had no intention of saying such inadequate reasons. Si Heng looked at her and continued to analyze: "Then, the man who led the lead looked like a farmer, but his words clearly looked like a literati. Isn't this a bit strange?"
"Can't farmers read a few books? Is it worth saying a few words of official words? Of course, the more people come to support us, the better!" Ling Feiyan said seriously: "Let's focus on the North Gate. Although it is close to Taoshui, there are many tricks in the Tang Dynasty, and we must be careful."
"This is really something that heroes see!" Si Heng narrowed his eyes, raised his chin, and made a look like a sirens, amusing Ling Feiyan.
"As soon as you smile, I'm not afraid of anything!"
"When is it now? Are you still in the mood to say such sarcastic words?"
"This is not a sarcastic remark, this is my true words. Since I was saved by you in the battle formation for the first time, I have started to pay attention to you, and then we fought side by side, making me want to protect you well."
"Do you think all women in the world need men to protect them?"
"I know you are different from ordinary women. The more I do this, the more I want to protect you. My protection is to go to the battlefield with you to kill enemies and build military merits. I want to see you become a female general of a generation!"
Puchi! Ling Feiyan laughed out loud, "Female General? You are the only one who has this kind of thought!" Although becoming a female general had already planted seeds in Ling Feiyan's heart, she had never told anyone that Siheng had seen the thoughts at this moment, and could only use laughter to hide her accident.
"I never thought about it before, but after seeing you, I believe you can. The only thing I hope is to wait until that day."
"What nonsense! You are so young, what can you wait for!"
"You are caring about me?"
Ling Feiyan's cheeks were flushed. This was the second time in so many years that she felt so shy. The only two times were derived from the same man, the man standing in front of her.
"Stop talking nonsense and do what you should do!"
Ling Feiyan turned around and quickly left the city wall, but Siheng looked at her back with satisfaction.
The more than thirty farmers changed into the uniforms of the soldiers and took the weapons and followed the soldiers to inspect the northern city gate and learned to complete the handover with the soldiers. The battle started at dawn to Si. At noon, the soldiers at the northern gate began to carry out the second round of handover. They were not the squad of the farmers, but they insisted that the soldiers go to eat first and were willing to replace them for a while. The soldiers were busy all morning and were indeed hungry before the water and rice was in the process, so they changed shifts with the farmers without much worry.
At the same time, Siheng insisted that Ling Feiyan rest first and continued to patrol the city. He walked along the city from the west to the south. The Tao River under the city was flowing quietly, and there was no sign of Tang Bing below the city. Siheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he found that some waves appeared on the water surface of the Tao River. At first, there were ripples slightly rippling, and then there were dizziness on the water surface, and bubbles were raking in the center of the dizziness.
There was something wrong! Si Heng immediately signaled the trumpet to blow the trumpet. As soon as the trumpeter put the trumpet into his mouth, a flying knife penetrated his throat. He stared at his unbelievable eyes and covered the blood-flowing wound with his hands and fell down from the city. When the trumpeter's body fell at the gate of the city, the bodies of many soldiers were already lying. One of their common points was that they also had unbelievable eyes.
When Siheng found that the horn had not been blown and realized the seriousness of the problem, a person suddenly rushed out of the dizzy water in the Tao River. After these people came out of the water, they swam towards the shore as quickly as possible.
"Arrow!"
With Siheng's order, the defenders at the city immediately shot feather arrows at the sudden enemy under the city. They shot arrows in such an open and flat place, even if they were archery-like. The people who emerged from the water were all wearing dark armor and were quick to move. They tried their best to avoid feather arrows at the city. Some people were still caught. If they were not shot at the vital point and died immediately, they would continue to run towards the city gate.
The distance between Taoshui and the North Gate is not long. It is only a mile from the river beach. Once you run below the city gate, it will be difficult for the feather arrows to play a role again. After leaving more than a dozen corpses, more and more people began to gather at the city gate.
Siheng looked down at the city gate, and the body of the mansion soldiers was lying in a row. He understood that there was an insider. He snatched the bow and arrow of a soldier beside him, took out a sound and put it on the arrow, and then shot an arrow towards the inner city.
"Continue shooting!" After leaving a word, Si Heng jumped off the city. When he was just landing, he saw the farmers who took the initiative to stand up and demanded to guard the north gate. After dealing with the last mansion soldier, he wanted to work together to open the north gate.
"I was indeed not wrong!" Siheng pulled out his sword and rushed forward.
After the renovation, Ling Feiyan, who was about to lead a team to the city gate to change defense with Siheng, heard the sound of a ringing arrow first, and a beeping sound quickly passed over the top of his head. Ling Feiyan instantly changed her face and said to his deputy: "Go and notify Lord Quan immediately, the enemy will start to attack the city!" Then he ordered "You can go and follow me to the city gate to support it!"
When Ling Feiyan led a few dozen people to the north city gate, what he saw was: Siheng was fighting with the farmers alone, and the door bolt of the city gate had been pulled out; and more than half of the soldiers on the city were killed or injured, and many enemies wearing black armor and wet bodies had climbed to the city gate.
"You go to the top of the city to defend against the enemy! The rest will be taken back to the city gate with me!"
Ling Feiyan calmly pulled out the feather arrow from behind and pulled the bow and shot the two entangled. After a fight, Siheng had already lost the lottery, and those who disguised as farmers also paid the price of death and injury. The man in front of him had been cut by a knife, and there was no blood on the wound, but the real flesh inside was revealed.
"Disguised the enemy who has been infiltrated! Feiyan, they want to open the city gate, and leave it here to you, I will stop them!"
Siheng pointed the long sword in his hand at one of the farmers who were about to push and pull the city gate, and nailed it to the city gate. Three farmers immediately stepped forward to stop him. Ling Feiyan ran towards the city gate, and kept drawing the bow in her hand until all the feather arrows in the quiver were used up before she pulled out her sword to join the battle. The more than ten golden armored guards behind her had already begun fighting with the farmers before.
Obviously, the purpose of these farmers who disguised themselves in Anzhou City was to open the North City Gate and work with the outside army. Except for the six people who were trying hard to open the door, the rest of the living used their bodies to resist Ling Feiyan's offensive. For a moment, the two sides entangled each other.
After Siheng's dagger cut open a man's neck, he was also shot on his left shoulder, throwing the dagger to kill the second person. The third person had already hugged him from behind. The man was full of strength, and Siheng couldn't break free for a while, but he clearly saw that three farmers had pushed the city gate open a crack.
