Chapter 503 Ignition
Song Liyun didn't say anything to Yuquan alone, but just asked her to stay with her.
According to tribal custom, as long as the young lady Song Liyun is alive, tribesmen like Aqiya and Yuquan can survive.
If Song Liyun is harmed, they will surely die with him.
Yuquan is a 19-year-old girl. With her around, Song Liyun doesn't worry about herself as a pregnant woman having difficulty moving around.
The gates of Mida were closed, the livestock market in the outer city was also closed, and everyone was expelled.
No one noticed that in the chaos, something had been buried somewhere at the base of the city wall.
In the city, everyone was carrying pebbles the size of human heads.
No one knew that the stones used to build low walls and flower beds around trees were also part of Mida City's war reserves.
Baskets of stones were carried up to the city wall and piled up in the arrow pavilion.
The catapults wrapped in cowhide were also stripped of their disguises and placed in order.
All we need to do is load the stones and throw them from the city wall. They will surely smash the enemies ten feet outside the city, causing them to abandon their armor and weapons and destroy their men and horses.
It was getting dark.
Old Yu and Song Liyun went up to the city wall to check on how Old Qian and Aqiya had assigned people to defend the city.
After three years of construction, Mida City is now different.
In addition to using cement to solidify the adobe, the city also added horse faces and towers protruding from the city wall, making it a complete military city.
The urban management guard team is divided into groups of ten, taking turns to stand guard in the Horse-faced Arrow Tower.
In the night wind, faint shouts could be heard.
Jian Fangtong hurried up the city wall, his expression frightened and ferocious. "Young Madam, Elder Yu, people from several tribes are fighting! It's the Wang Ting army coming!"
He was born a horse bandit, and usually he had experienced a group fight involving dozens of people at most. On a battlefield with thousands of people, dozens of people were just minor fights that could not cause any waves.
A great battle involving thousands of people was about to begin, and his blood was boiling with anxiety and excitement.
If the tribe can repel those Wang Tingdi soldiers, Mida City will be safe.
Since discovering the Di royal court army in the Gobi Desert, Jian Fangtong has ordered his men to monitor them from a distance.
Sure enough, the caravan was stopped and the news reached Mida City. These Di soldiers immediately rushed towards Mida City as if they had received orders.
But before he could get close, he was intercepted.
In recent years, the prosperous business of Mida City has attracted many herdsmen to set up tents and settle in the outer city.
The city of Mida closed its doors and expelled the herders, who had no choice but to leave in a hurry, leaving their belongings behind.
There are also brave men who join the tribal soldiers to protect the city of Mida.
"They...can't be stopped, and they're just giving away their lives in vain!" Old Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was in a very low mood.
He was unsure.
Although Mida City has gunpowder, it has never been actually used on the battlefield.
Just doing the scenes seen during the experiment is not enough to destroy hundreds of cavalry.
Wang Tingdi’s army had been planning to attack Mida City for a long time, and the troops they sent must be elite soldiers and strong generals.
Mida City is currently short of troops. If these tribes were to block the attack first, Mida City would suffer less damage.
Song Liyun's face was solemn. Behind every life is a living family.
She is now the wife of the Lord of Mida City and the master of the Mida Valley. These tribes are the people under her rule and they feel the same way.
Now she only hated herself for being obsessed with making money and not taking the corruption of the Di royal court seriously, which put everyone in trouble.
I just hope that those tribes can understand what I mean and act according to my orders, instead of acting recklessly and causing more casualties.
Yuquan stood behind Song Liyun, his face pale, trembling as he put a cloak on his young mistress: "Young mistress, let's go back to the city!"
The young lady is pregnant, so it’s better for her to watch less bloody scenes.
She has made up her mind that if the city is broken, she will definitely protect her master.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard again. A city guard ran up the wall and said to Yu Lao and Song Liyun, "The two tribal leaders, Genda and Pici, are asking to see you from below!"
Hearing these two names, Song Liyun and Old Yu looked at each other. These two tribes were on the suspect list.
I took advantage of the situation and just let the tribe make a feint attack, but I didn't expect that there would be people who wanted to steal my token of allegiance.
Song Liyun nodded to Elder Yu: "Elder Yu, let them come up!"
Mr. Yu did not object.
Soon, two chiefs came up hurriedly, and behind them was a person who was being carried.
As soon as the two leaders arrived at the tower, they knelt down in front of Song Liyun and said, "Madam, help! The royal cavalry is coming."
Song Liyun raised her eyes and looked at the people behind them: "Who is injured?"
Under the light, the man who was carried up was covered in blood, with several cuts on his shoulders, arms, and brow.
He was being dragged around like this and had already passed out.
In front of the leader, Song Liyun said in a deep voice: "Aqiya, quickly send that man down for treatment!"
Aqiya quickly sent the unconscious person away.
"These are from the Muhan tribe, they are fighting desperately with Wang's army.
Madam, we can’t hold on any longer! Please send troops to rescue us!”
The two chiefs kowtowed heavily, their faces covered in dust, and shouted at the top of their lungs, which was heartbreaking.
"Stop talking, we have to save them, of course we have to save them!" Song Liyun raised her hand and signaled for someone to help the two men up.
After hearing the mayor's wife agree to rescue them, the two leaders continued to kneel on the ground, as if they would not get up until they saw reinforcements.
They believed that the only person in charge of the city now was a woman, and no matter how brave she was, she would still be distracted after seeing bloody people with her own eyes.
Mida City was already an empty shell, with only the last guard leaving, leaving only merchants and women...
Ah! That is a piece of delicious barbecue!
The two chiefs almost laughed out loud just thinking about it!
Song Liyun said, "Stop fighting! Come into the city and I'll open the gates!"
Ah! Open the city gate!
These words not only made the two chiefs look up suddenly in shock, but they also couldn't believe their ears that the city gate could be opened so easily.
Even Mr. Yu was surprised. This was not part of the plan.
He quickly stopped them: "Madam, you can't do that. If all the tribesmen enter the city, the royal court troops will follow. We won't be able to stop them."
Song Liyun said calmly, "Then let the tribes get out of the way. Wang Tingjun wants to attack Mida City, so come on!"
In fact, there was no need for the two chiefs to come to the rescue, because the shouts of killing had disappeared in the distant darkness.
Song Liyun felt a little relieved, thinking that several tribes had retreated.
The tribe's withdrawal also foreshadows the arrival of the real battle.
As the dense sound of horse hooves came, the fear on Song Liyun's face disappeared, replaced by calmness and composure.
Under the illumination of the torches on the city wall, dense cavalry gradually appeared. The shadows seemed endless and terrifying.
As the cavalry got closer and closer, Song Liyun could see the blood-stained scimitars, and then Wang Ting’s army stopped.
A Di soldier walked to the foot of the city and shouted, "Listen up, people of Mida City! We are here to take over Mida City by order of the noble king. If you want to survive, open the city gates!"
Humph!
Song Liyun didn't even want to answer such an idiotic question.
She directly ordered: "Aqiya, you can light the fire!"
"yes!"
Aqiya was able to be arranged to be with Song Liyun because he was also an archer of the Wuda tribe.
He picked up a long arrow, hung the arrow head, which had been wrapped in oilcloth, on the torch, and then shot it at the pile of hay below.
Like a shooting star across the night sky, the ten-foot-high haystack sprinkled with gunpowder exploded with a loud bang.
In an instant, a huge burning torch was formed, illuminating the area outside the city red.
