The huge noise outside had already woken up the people in the dock.
Oil lamps were soon lit everywhere, and the people from Mingjing Hall hurried to the gate to find out what was going on.
The guard at the door didn't know what was going on, so he just said to everyone, "The lady has ordered that no one should leave!"
Wei Lang rushed over when he heard the noise. He stood in front of the suspension bridge with a pout, very dissatisfied. His sister went out without calling him. He was a sergeant, and his soldiers were all outside, but he was stopped in the dock.
The battle continues.
People and zombies were circling outside the wall. You have to know that the length of the wall enclosed hundreds or even thousands of acres of ancestral land. When you listen carefully, you can hear movements everywhere, but you can only hear the sounds but not see the people.
As the torches on the high walls were lit one by one, the vision gradually became clearer, and the casualties of the several waves of troops outside began to decrease.
After Chang Ying eliminated a small group of zombies, he led his men to run along the wall and met the soldiers from Yuyang County.
There were a large number of them, and there were also a lot of zombies on this side. Because they were not familiar with the direction of the wall and it was dark and they couldn't see anything, the yamen soldiers protected everyone and ran along the wall, looking for where the gate was.
It was not until they saw the first light of fire above the wall that the yamen soldiers found the direction and ran towards this side with the people protected.
He just happened to bump into Chang Ying who was rushing over.
"Ninth Master!" Chang Ying immediately recognized one of the people who was protected in the middle.
Wei Mingkuan was holding a little girl in his arms, and behind him a yamen soldier was carrying an old lady on his back.
Some relatives were protected by yamen soldiers.
When Wei Mingkuan saw Chang Ying again, he was slightly surprised. He didn't know that Chang Ying had followed Wei Xiyin back to the fort, and he thought he was in Kyoto.
But there is no time to reminisce now. Chang Ying quickly brought people to help. The pressure on the group of yamen soldiers was reduced, and the guards stood in the front.
The yamen soldiers who were protecting the clan members hurriedly led their men towards the main gate of the wall.
And on Qin Shan's side.
Qin Shan was speechless when he saw the situation in front of him.
After they intercepted some zombies with chevaux de frise, they had to fight a bloody battle to clear out the waves of zombies that were rushing in crazily.
When he brought his men to the wall behind the fort, there were many people and monsters there.
Not only killing monsters, but also killing people.
As the torches above were lit, two groups of people wearing the same clothes attacked each other, killing zombies while stabbing each other desperately.
For a moment, Qin Shan didn't know whether he should step forward.
He thought about it and simply asked the guards to drag the barricades to block the road and wait until they had killed enough people.
The sky was already getting light.
After Qin Shanfeng set out, he took his guards and bypassed the group of people, looking for traces of the yamen soldiers and the Wei family members.
He had no idea that people had reached the gate of the wall.
Wei Xiyin led the guards to clear the gate, and soon saw the yamen soldiers escorting the Wei family members over.
The guards quickly opened the barricades and let the people in.
Wei Xiyin used to live in Kyoto. She had so many family members that she didn’t know many of them. It was the senior guards beside her who reminded her.
She quickly called out, "Uncle Nine, Uncle Ten."
She was a little confused. The person serving as the prefect of Yuyang County was obviously from the fourth house, so why did the one who came back was from the sixth house?
When she saw the old lady being carried by the yamen soldier, Wei Xiyin quickly called out, "Fourth Uncle Grandmother."
The fourth wife had stayed in Kyoto for some time, so she was no stranger to this great-aunt.
The old lady's condition looked really bad. She was lying on the back of the yamen soldier. When she heard Wei Xiyin's voice, she struggled to open her eyelids and replied weakly, "It's Wu Niang." Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Wei Xiyin turned her head and stared at the group of strangers inside the wall. The situation was unclear at the moment, and she didn't know whether they were enemies or friends.
She looked at Chu Yu above the wall.
Chu Yu understood and nodded slightly.
The crossbow cart was aimed at the wall at some point.
Wei Xiyin lowered her eyelids and ordered the guards to lower the dock drawbridge immediately.
She turned to Wei Mingkuan and said, "I'm worried about Fourth Uncle Grandmother's health. Let's go to the fort and ask the doctor to take a look. The clan members can ask the guards to check for any injuries first."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the relatives in the crowd became agitated.
A relative asked, "Why are you not letting us in even though we're at the door? What's the meaning of Wu Niang?"
Wei Xiyin patiently explained, "My niece didn't say you're not allowed in. It's just that the zombie virus is highly contagious. The elders asked the guards to check it out. We must ensure the safety of everyone in the fort."
Wei Mingkuan nodded and said, "That's right. Wu Niang is also thinking about the tribe. It won't hurt to search her body."
As soon as he spoke, the relatives around him immediately quieted down.
Everyone is not stupid and quickly understood the situation.
So many men in the fort did not come out, but it was the woman Wu Niang who stood outside. Although it was not clear what had happened in the fort, it was obvious that Wei Wu Niang was in charge now.
The Wei family has always been united, so it is not appropriate to argue with the younger generation over such a small matter.
The clan members were well protected by the yamen soldiers. After checking and confirming that they had no injuries, Wei Xiyin agreed to let them follow into the fort.
As the drawbridge descended, the guards watched the people inside the wall vigilantly to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
The common people huddled in a corner, and seeing the ferocious looks of the guards, they dared not step forward.
Wei Lang waited for a long time and finally saw the drawbridge being lowered. He rushed out impatiently.
"Sister! Have you seen where my soldiers are?"
Wei Xiyin simply said, "Everyone is at the gate. Take your soldiers and guard the gate of the wall."
As soon as he came out, his sister assigned him a task. Wei Lang was very happy and said, "Yes!"
