There were only more than 200 people left, fleeing for their lives, abandoning their weapons and armor. No matter how you looked at them, they looked like a group of defeated soldiers with tattered clothes and armor.
"Hurry up and inform the girl that it is the Hedong Army that has escaped from Sizhou."
Chang Ying said the last sentence with great emphasis.
There is too much information in this.
The Hedong State was located within the Sizhou territory. The three counties along the river, Hedong, Henan, and Henei, were collectively known as the "Three Rivers." The Hedong County was granted to the king a long time ago and was the closest fiefdom to the capital.
It was freezing cold at the time, so they did not stay in their fiefdom but escaped from Sizhou.
I guess something big happened in Sizhou.
In less than a moment, the figure was getting closer and closer.
The people upstairs watched what was happening in silence.
The zombies were extremely fast and were about to catch up with the group. If they waited for the guards to send a message back, it would obviously be too late.
Even if we open the city gates, I'm afraid the zombies will be let in too...
Chang Ying made a prompt decision and decided to execute first and report later, "Open the city gate! Let them in!"
They don't have enough troops and shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs.
But the girl wants to go to Kyoto to find her relatives, and Sizhou is a must-go place.
The militiamen tried to stop them in vain and could only watch helplessly as their troops slowly opened the city gate.
The soldiers ran along with the princess, and when they saw a figure on the city wall, they were about to speak out to identify themselves, thinking that no matter whether it was coercion, inducement, or huge promises, they must force them to open the city gate and let the group in to hide.
As a result... the city gate opened automatically.
Yuan Jin blinked: “…”Good man!
Chang Ying ran down the city wall and stood guard at the city gate with weapons in hand to prevent zombies from rushing into the city and causing casualties.
Wei Lang had just climbed up the stairs and felt a little aggrieved, so why did he come down again?
He followed Chang Ying step by step to the bottom of the city wall.
Because he was out riding, Wei Lang didn't bring any weapons. Seeing this, a guard handed the long tasseled spear in his hand to Erlang Jun and snatched a long sword from the militia. "You are not needed here, run to the back and hide."
What can the militia do? If they want to charge to the front, let them charge.
Everyone obeyed the guard's words, ran to a distance to watch, and sent someone to quickly notify the leader.
Just a moment.
The Hedong Army rushed into the city to protect their master. They did not dare to look back at the situation behind them. They entered the city without stopping and ran a few hundred meters before stopping panting.
The zombies behind him swarmed over, splashing snowflakes, and in the blink of an eye they were close at hand.
Chang Ying immediately ordered, "Close the door quickly!"
The guards were well prepared and quickly pushed the city gate open after hearing the words.
The zombies' strange aura suddenly approached, and their terrifying faces gradually revealed themselves. The city gate was too heavy, and it made a dull sound when it was pushed, which made the zombies even more excited and they rushed forward with roars.
The Hedong army in the distance saw this scene and without taking a rest, turned back to help.
Not close yet.
Wei Lang walked forward with his weapon and easily pushed the door closed.
The gap in the door gradually narrowed, and the timing was just right.
When the zombie in front ran to the front, the heavy city gate closed instantly, blocking all the zombies outside.
Boom boom boom——
It was a series of sounds caused by zombies crashing into the city gate, followed by dense scratching sounds on the door, which gave people goose bumps.
Seeing that he was finally safe, Yuan Jin didn't care about the snow on the ground and fell down in the snow, gasping for breath.
After the disaster, her brother told her to maintain good physical strength and took her to exercise every day.
At this moment, she was extremely glad that she did not do it perfunctorily, but completed the training seriously.
She had to escape from Sizhou to here, passing through three counties. If she hadn't exercised, she probably wouldn't have been able to run half the distance, and would have had to let the soldiers carry her to escape.
"Thank you all for saving our lives!" One of the soldiers stepped forward and expressed his gratitude to Chang Ying and the others solemnly.
Chang Ying glanced around for a moment and saw that everyone looked exhausted and had nothing but weapons in their hands. Looking at the mark on the man in front of him, he should be a centurion.
Chang Ying was silent for a moment, then said, "It's freezing outside. You all should follow me to see my master first, and then I will help you find your place."
As for the young man lying in the snow, it was obvious that he was a girl.
These people are from Hedong State. Could they have picked up another princess?
Chang Ying was just thinking this in his heart.
really.
"My lady." The soldier had returned to his master and asked with concern, "How are you? Can you get up?"
The soldiers wanted to help but didn't dare.
Yuan Jin waved his hand and climbed up from the snow.
"Nothing, let's go. Now that we are here, we should pay a visit to the owner of this city." She had no intention of hiding her identity.
People were kind enough to save her, and she will repay them when she reunites with her brother.
The other end.
Wei Xiyin had already received the news and was quite speechless.
It's Chinese New Year and this happened.
Before she could give the order, the second guard who delivered the message came running back.
The report said, "My lady, Commander Chang reports that the survivors outside are from Hedong State. They are the remaining troops of Hedong State, about two hundred people."
Wei Xiyin listened to the guard's report and spoke with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"The Hedong army? Are they escaping from Sizhou now?"
In winter, everyone wants to stay at home. Since the army is still there, Hedong State should still retain its strength, so there is no reason to run out at this time.
What happened in Sizhou?
"Girl, should we give the order to open the city gate?" the guard asked again.
Wei Xiyin immediately stood up, put on her cloak, picked up the snow, and said as she walked, "Open the city gate! I'm afraid it's too late. Come with me to the city gate to take a look."
"yes!"
The women's army was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen. Dong Zhiyao had nothing to do, so he stayed in his room to rest for a day. He felt bored, so he came out and happened to meet Wei Xiyin and the others going out.
Wei Xiyin saw the man, briefly explained the situation to him, and then rushed to the city gate with the guards.
Dong Zhiyao stood in the yard and sighed for a long time.
Wu Niang made the decision so openly, even bypassing the real owner of the city.
Are you treating Lingqiu City as your own territory?
He was worried, so he just followed behind and went to take a look.
Just halfway there.
I met Chang Ying and his men coming over.
"I acted on my own, please punish me, young lady!" Chang Ying clasped his fists and apologized.
Wei Xiyin waved her hand, "What crime have you committed? If you really wait for the order to be delivered, there will be no time."
She once gave people the right to act first and report later.
As her confidant, Chang Ying knew that the situation in Sizhou was of vital importance. She would order the city gates to be opened to let people in, and giving the order in advance did not go against her original intention.
Wei Xiyin was talking to Chang Ying, but her eyes couldn't help but look behind him.
The wind and snow are very strong.
Yuan Jin's face flushed red from the cold. The moment she saw Wei Xiyin appear, she blinked, "But Wei Wuniang?"
Wei Xiyin was stunned for a moment, slightly surprised, "Princess Hedong?"
Unexpectedly, the person being protected by this group of remnants was actually the Princess of Hedong, whom I had met a few times.
Yuan Jin nodded happily, "It's me! I didn't expect you to be here!"
It turns out to be an old acquaintance, great!
