Yanjing City was surrounded by the Southern Army and attacked day and night. The casualties on the city wall were astonishing. In less than two days, three groups of soldiers guarding the city had been replaced.
Logically speaking, such a war loss ratio could have already caused the defenders in the city to collapse, but they were still persevering. After suffering huge casualties, these northerners even insisted more tenaciously than at the beginning.
The reason is very simple.
They saw the brutality of the Bai Zhan Army with their own eyes. The southerners were as if they were crazy, with arrows all over their bodies, and they could still fight tenaciously, just like a fierce ghost among humans.
What's even more terrifying is that when the battle is about to rise, it is like losing consciousness, biting someone else's neck with his teeth, and tearing off a piece of flesh more than once.
There are also various rumors that the southerners used monster techniques to create beast soldiers.
Once such a beast-like enemy is allowed to attack the city, the people in one city will never survive, and the entire Yanjing will become a worldly world.
Not everyone can sacrifice their lives.
But as a man, his family is in the city, when he can still fight and defend his family and friends, the brave northerners naturally are not so easily defeated.
During these two days, there were also residents in Yanjing City who spontaneously went up to the city to guard the city, and everyone was afraid that a tragedy would happen behind the slope of the city.
Cruelty is indeed a reputation.
This reputation is very useful when facing cowards, but when facing a brave man who muster up the courage to fight, cruelty can only arouse the other party's resistance that will never give up.
The battle formation outside the city wall can still be persisted, and the city wall is strong enough. It is not that simple for the Southern Army to break the city.
However, at this time, something strange happened in the imperial city.
"Should you let me go!"
The little king Yelu Jienan, wearing a black dragon robe, was pulled off from the dragon chariot by the two men holding weapons. The guards guarding him were already bleeding all over the ground, and their bodies were separated.
In the palace wall connecting the imperial palace and the harem, these dozen people wearing guard clothes suddenly attacked and isolated Yelu Jienan when others were caught off guard.
"Who are you waiting for?"
The little king was shocked to see the powerful guards in the past being killed by these dozen people like chopping melons and vegetables, but he quickly calmed down.
He himself did not know martial arts, and he could not resist such a premeditated master, so he could only delay time. Facing the dozen or so thieves surrounding him, he pretended to be frightened and collapsed.
When facing the problem of the small king, the head guard said in a cold tone:
"Don't panic, we are the secret guards of the Seven Quarter Sect. Since we were allied with the Seven Quarter Sect, we have been lurking in the palace under the secret orders of the National Master and the Sect Master to protect the safety of the National Lord.
These guards were all traitors from the southern country and wanted to hold the king hostage. We caught a conspiracy and then appeared to meet.
My Seven-Certain Sect Master is known to be in danger in Yanjing and is bringing elite troops to support him thousands of miles away. He will arrive at the city of Yanjing soon, relieve the danger here and protect the safety of the king.
The king followed us and went to the security department to avoid swords and weapons for a while."
After these words, Yelu Jienan looked confused. He blinked and glanced at the corpse lying on the ground.
"All right."
The little king glanced at the bloody knife in the hands of the dozen people, and then touched the ivory dagger hanging from his waist for decoration.
He was very rational and had no choice to resist.
explain:
"Since you say they are thieves, then they are. The leader of Zhang Chu, Gu, has seen him, is indeed a kind and trustworthy person. Since he had made arrangements, Gu would not refuse.
But you suddenly hurt someone and shock Gu's mind. Your hands and feet will become weak, so you can only continue walking with Gu on your back.
I'm sorry for you."
"Nothing happens."
The man in charge squatted on the ground, let Yelu Jienan lie behind him and carry him on his back.
The steps were still steady, with a group of more than a dozen people forming a tight formation and walking along the palace wall road.
Yelu Jienan lay on the man's shoulder, his eyes rolling around.
Of course he knew that Zhang Chu was holding him hostage with bad intentions, but he was willing to shout for help, and was worried that the people would fight indiscriminately, which would make him die in a mess.
The principle of a gentleman not standing under a dangerous wall.
He still understands.
When he needed an opportunity, he couldn't help but think that he was fortunate that he had asked Ade to send all the daughters of the royal family out of the city in advance.
Otherwise, as soon as things happen today, I will suffer more than one person.
Just as they were thinking about it, these dozen people walked around a corner, and the side gate of the imperial city was in the distance. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the journey was without any danger and was very smooth.
But at this moment, a figure who was holding the wall and vomiting suddenly rushed in from outside the door, staggering, and having difficulty moving, as if he was injured.
"Ad!"
Yelu Jienan was also stunned and exclaimed.
"Look down!"
Ade, who was vomiting uncomfortable, had no time to shout.
Yelu Jie's man was as blessed as his heart. He immediately pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed him hard on the arm of the master who was carrying him. As soon as he broke free, he fell to the ground.
The next moment, a figure in black fell from the sky and fell lightly into the crowd.
Yelu Jienan, who was lying on the ground, saw only a dozen afterimages, and the long sword in the man swung his hand and flew out in an instant, and then dissipated in the next moment.
It was like the scene just now, it was completely dazzled.
but...
"puff"
The dozen masters who had just killed the guards were stiff and their bodies were frozen. When the sword shadow returned to the sheath, everyone's heads flew out of their necks in an instant, and blood splattered everywhere.
More than a dozen masters fell to the ground like cut down trees, blood flowing all over the ground.
Yelu Jienan was stunned.
He looked at him foolishly. The master who killed more than a dozen people in one sword turned around and was wearing a strange Wu Zhu mask under the black veil flying in the hat.
In the mask's eyes, there were pairs of cold eyes looking at him up and down.
All eyes are scrutiny.
When he saw the Wu Zhu mask, a legend circulating in the streets and alleys of the North Kingdom suddenly flashed into Yelu Jienan's heart, and he exclaimed:
"You are, the mountain ghost!"
Gongsun Yu did not answer, but shook his head slightly, took a step among more than a dozen headless corpses, and said without looking back:
"That knife just now is quite courageous."
After saying that, he held the sword and walked towards the palace wall hut next to him.
Ade, with a pale face, rushed up and helped the king up and down to check. After not seeing the injury, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ade, how did you get involved with Shan?"
Yelu Jienan was not only not afraid, but also showed a teenage curiosity. He grabbed his companion's wrist and asked in a low voice:
"Is this your adventure?"
"What kind of adventure, the king."
Ade sighed, looked at the back of the mountain ghost, and he whispered to the king:
"Aren't Your Majesty curious about who the princess chosen by His Highness the Princess? Now you have seen it with your own eyes."
"ah?"
Yelu Jienan's mouth was so wide that she could stuff an egg into it. At this time, his mind was already burning with this news.
My sister is really worthy of being a strange woman in the North.
The Taihang Mountain ghost, which is stained with countless blood from the northern country, is still wanted by the Northern court...
Is this my brother-in-law?
After more than ten days, Ade called some palace servants to clean up the blood stains on the corpses on the ground. This matter needs to be done without any hesitation. Naturally, Ade, who is deeply trusted by the king of the country, was personally handled by someone like Ade.
Yelu Jienan himself walked into the small house beside the palace wall.
The mountain ghost was sitting on a chair, closing his eyes to rest, waiting for him.
Seeing Yelu Jienan walk into the room, the mountain ghost ignored the boy's curiosity and a little horrified look, and he said straight to the point:
"I saved you because of Wan'er. You change your clothes and follow me."
"I've called Wan'er."
The little king curled his lips and slandered in his heart.
The adult world is so intimate.
He felt a little sour again.
My sister was snatched away by another man, and I felt a little resentful, but when Ade said that my sister got along very well with this mountain ghost, the little king was a little relieved.
But when he heard that Shan Gui asked him to leave, he shook his head.
To be continued...
