On the inner city wall, Min Zimo tirelessly fired his gun, fired again, and fired again!
From midnight to dawn, he could no longer remember how many people he had killed.
The gun barrel was sticky and slippery because it was stained with too much blood, and it was almost impossible to hold it.
Suddenly...
"Help--!"
A shrill scream came from behind him.
Min Zimo's heart skipped a beat, and he fired a shot backwards, but he was a step too late.
A thief general with the strength of the second level grinned and slashed at Fuman's right shoulder with a knife.
Phew!
The entire arm flew out with a shower of blood.
Fuman screamed and fell limply.
If Min Zimo's spear tip had not pierced the enemy general's throat in time, the next blow would have chopped off his head.
Min Zimo raised his spear and used his strength to push the unconscious Fuman away from the parapet.
Because of this delay, more bandits rushed up the ladders.
......
At another section of the wall, Yang Chengdong, the general commander of Xuancheng, killed the enemy in front of him with a single blow, then grabbed a man by the back of his collar and pulled him back fiercely.
"Master Xu! What the hell are you doing here? Go back!"
Xu Yuncheng was holding a long sword with a rolled blade, his limbs still flapping.
He had long lost his usual elegance. His body was covered in blood, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Let me go!" Xu Yuncheng struggled, "I can still kill!"
"Kill your ass!" Yang Chengdong cursed, "I've already split half my attention protecting you. If you move any further, we'll both die here!"
Xu Yuncheng was stunned by his roar, and the madness in his eyes faded slightly.
Taking advantage of a break in the battle, he panted and suddenly whispered, "General Yang, if you had been so united with me two years ago, the situation in the Central Plains...why would it have come to this?"
Yang Chengdong froze for a moment, then he twitched the corners of his mouth in self-mockery.
Yes, why has it come to this?
However, how could they possibly work together, one from the imperial party and the other from the Wu party?
Now... haha, when a person is about to die, what's the point of saying these things.
He was about to retort when his ears suddenly moved.
Woo——!
A desolate, powerful and penetrating horn sound came from the southeast without any warning.
Was this, an auditory hallucination? Yang Chengdong was stunned.
Woohoo! Woohoo!
The sound of the trumpet becomes clearer and more passionate!
His body suddenly tensed up, and an electric current shot from the soles of his feet to his forehead!
Not an illusion!
This is... the ox horn of the Dajing Border Army!
On the city wall, all the people fighting slowed down their movements.
Subconsciously, they looked in the direction of the sound.
......
Min Zimo, who had just knocked a bandit soldier away, also heard it.
He turned his head sharply and looked towards the southeast.
In the sky, a red sun broke free from the constraints of the earth and burst out.
Thousands of feet of golden light rose from the ground, giving the hills in the southeast a dazzling golden edge.
Just on that golden outline, a black dot appeared.
Then, the second, the third...
Tens, hundreds, thousands!
The dense cavalry formation, like a steel forest, spread out!
They were wearing heavy armor and iron helmets, which reflected the dazzling light in the rising sun.
They gathered into an unstoppable torrent, slowly accelerating along the gentle slopes of the hills.
At first it was a trot, the dull thud of hooves like distant thunder.
Gradually, the speed became faster and faster, and the sound of hooves became more frequent and louder!
The overwhelming momentum and the determination to move forward made Min Zimo, a tough guy, have red eyes in an instant.
"Reinforcements...Yes, reinforcements!!!"
On the city wall, someone roared hoarsely with all his strength.
The next moment, all the surviving defenders burst into thunderous cheers as if they were crazy.
"Wansheng——!"
"Wansheng——!"
"Wansheng——!"
Despair was swept away, replaced by the ecstasy of escaping death and a burning desire to fight!
The morale that was on the verge of collapse was reignited at this moment and reached an unprecedented peak!
-----------------
Li Wei staggered a few steps and stood still in a daze.
Before my eyes is a courtyard full of vitality.
The sunlight shines through the lush branches and leaves, casting small and warm spots of light on the ground.
The fresh air is mixed with the fragrance of soil and grass, and the chirping of cicadas creates a peaceful background sound.
The sounds that tortured her, tore her apart, and drove her nearly crazy, all disappeared.
Here...it's so comfortable.
Her eyes fell on the double swing in the corner of the yard, and she walked over uncontrollably.
She sat down and the swing set made a slight creaking sound.
She looked at the shimmering pond in front of her, and her whole body gradually relaxed, her tense nerves stretching inch by inch.
Unconsciously...
Her head rested against the swing rope, her eyelids grew heavier, and she fell into a daze.
......
I don’t know how long it took.
There was a faint itch at the tip of my nose, like a feather scratching it gently.
There was a familiar and annoying voice calling softly in my ear.
"Li Wei, wake up."
"Hey, wake up..."
A-choo——!
Li Wei suddenly sneezed loudly, waking herself from her drowsiness.
