496 The battle drums sounded on the tower



After listening to the princess's analysis, the head of the family felt that he might have really contracted a disease called "being stupid for no reason". ..

A brother asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Princess, then we'll just squat?"

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Just squat here."

Several people lined up and squatted on the roof.

The snow fell quickly, and soon the green tiles were covered with white frost, and the few people squatting there merged into the white snow.

After listening to the soldiers running and positioning themselves on the tower for a long time, Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "It looks like Xiao Gu and the others have to attack the city."

The eldest boss wiped the snow off his face, covered his mouth and sneezed, and said, "Really?"

Yu Xiaoxiao said "hmm".

At this time, several archers ran past the small building, did not stop at the foot of the city, and went straight up to the city wall.

"Damn it," the boss said, "What went wrong here?"

"I hope the prince consort and the others are okay?" a brother asked worriedly.

"No," Yu Xiaoxiao said with certainty.

The chief pointed to the tower and said, "The archers have all gone up there."

Yu Xiao: "If they want to defend the city, of course they need archers, unless the person in charge of defending the city is an idiot."

"No," the boss said with a twitch in his mouth, "Don't you think it's better to fight with the prince consort if the other party is an idiot?"

Yu Xiaoxiao felt more and more sympathetic towards the boss's intelligence. She looked at him and said, "How could an idiot become a general defending a city? Xiongxiong, are you telling me a fairy tale?"

The boss didn’t know what fairy tales were, but he knew that he was despised by Her Royal Highness the Princess again.

"Isn't the princess here?" said the worried brother at this time.

Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head, shaking off a lot of snow on her head, and whispered, "Little Gu can fight." This was not the first battle that Gu Xinglang had fought, nor would it be the last. Yu Xiaoxiao sniffed her frozen snot, feeling very excited. She looked at the boss and said, "I can finally see how my little Gu fights!"

Although the boss really wanted to figure out whether this guy beside him was here to protect his husband or to watch the fun, he finally decided that he would face his princess with silence.

Gu Xinglang's horse arrived at the north gate of Chiyang City at this time. He looked up at the battlements of the tower and saw that the number of archers had obviously increased compared to when he left the city. Gu Xinglang stopped his horse and half raised his left hand.

The 6,000 soldiers of the North Camp all left the camp this time. When they saw Gu Xinglang half-raising his left hand, the entire army stopped.

The North Camp commander Zhou Ning rode up to Gu Xinglang and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Gu Xinglang gestured to General Zhou to look at the city wall.

Zhou Ning looked up at the archers on the city wall. These archers did not draw their bows or aim their arrows at them, but Zhou Ning could tell something was wrong.

"Things have changed," Gu Xinglang said.

Zhou Ning cursed. Not only was Chiyang City high, but the moat was also wide. There were four lines of defense in the north city. With the six thousand men under his command, how could it be easy to break into the city?

Gu Xinglang listened to Zhou Ning cursing, but his handsome face remained cold and he didn't react.

Zhou Ning said, "I'll go to the city gate and call for help."

Gu Xinglang nodded and realized that things were bad, but they still had to try. "Don't get close to the city gate," Gu Xinglang reminded Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning waved to Gu Xinglang and rode towards the city gate.

The general guarding the city saw the troops from the North Camp coming from afar. When he saw Zhou Ning riding his horse towards the city gate, the general gritted his teeth.

Zhou Ning remembered Gu Xinglang's words and did not approach the city gate. He stopped his horse some distance from the moat and said to the tower, "Old Wang, you see I am not opening the city gate?"

General Wang said, "General Zhou, what are you doing?"

Zhou Ning said, "I have been ordered to lead the Northern Camp troops into the city. Your Majesty's tiger talisman is here."

General Wang took a look at the tiger talisman in Zhou Ning's hand. Zhou Ning was a close confidant of the king, so the tiger talisman could not be fake. However, General Wang looked at the monk from the Eternal Life Temple standing not far from him and said, "General Zhou, the situation in the city is unclear now, and His Majesty has not given me an order, so you should take the North Camp troops back to the camp first."

"Are you not blind?" Zhou Ning shouted, "This is His Majesty's tiger talisman. His Majesty wants to transfer me into the city, but does he need your consent?"

General Wang asked, "Your Majesty is seriously ill now. What do you want to do by leading troops into the city at this time?"

Gu Xinglang listened to the conversation between the two and turned back to Zhou Ning's deputy general and said, "Prepare to attack the city."

The deputy general responded to Gu Xinglang with a "yes" and swung the halberd in his hand.

The six thousand elite soldiers instantly had their weapons in hand and pulled the reins tight, waiting for the commander's order before charging towards Chiyang City.

At this time, Zhou Ning pointed at the tower and shouted: "Wang, are you going to rebel?!"

"Shoot!" General Wang stopped talking to Zhou Ning and gave the order loudly.

War drums were beaten on the city wall, and arrows were shot towards the other side of the moat like locusts.

Zhou Ning had no choice but to retreat back to Gu Xinglang's side and cursed, "This old bastard, he was drinking with me at the same table a few days ago, but today he turned his face against me."

Gu Xinglang said: "Let's attack the city."

Zhou Ning turned around and looked at his subordinates, feeling reluctant. This was an elite cavalry unit of his Suzaku. Instead of dying on the battlefield of Wei’s country, they were going to die in a fratricide.

Gu Xinglang did not urge Zhou Ning, but looked coldly at the towering Chiyang City Tower in front of him.

Zhou Ning hardened his heart and shouted to his subordinates: "Your Majesty must be in trouble. Brothers, build a pontoon bridge, break open the city gate, and go into the city to rescue him!"

Gu Xinglang turned around and looked at the 6,000 elite cavalrymen, and said in a cold voice: "It is a great merit to rescue the king. With this battle, you can expect your wives to be crowned as Meng in no time."

Who doesn’t want to make his wife cute?

After Gu Xinglang finished speaking, the murderous aura in the army became even stronger.

Zhou Ning swung the sword in his hand and shouted, "Kill!"

The boss and several others were sitting on the roof. When they heard the beating of war drums from the city wall, they were all startled and jumped up.

Yu Xiaoxiao waved her hands at the boss and the others and said, "Don't get excited. The fight hasn't started yet."

The boss and his men had no choice but to wait patiently until the sound of shouting and killing came from the other side of the city gate. The boss said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, has the fighting started now?"

Yu Xiaoxiao stood up and said to the boss, "Would you like to go to the tower with me?"

The boss..., he hasn't lived enough!

Yu Xiao: "Are you going?"

"Go," the eldest boss nodded. Even if he had not lived long enough, he had to follow Yu Xiaoxiao. No matter how capable he was, his princess was just a little girl. What if something went wrong?
