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.
