Chapter 213 Defense
Zhuo Ran returned to the General's Mansion, and after giving all orders, she changed into a black dress.She rarely wears this color, Mu Heng looked at Zhuo Ran and couldn't help frowning.

"Xiaqiu, you can't use force now, do you really want to go?"

Zhuo Ran said: "It's already come to this point, do you think I can still stay in the general's mansion? Mu Heng, you and Uncle Zhou don't come to the city gate, take the celestial master and the people in the mansion away In the school grounds in the city, stay there and don’t come out.”

Mu Heng shook his head: "No, I want to follow you."

"Mu Heng, this is not a joke." Zhuo Ran said, "Believe me, Chi Yue will be back soon, so don't worry, I will be fine. Uncle Zhou is already packing his things. If he is not in good health, please help him." Take care, don't be willful."

"But……"

Zhuo Ran held her hand: "Okay, Mu Heng, don't talk anymore. You guys leave quickly, I'll go to the city gate now."

***
Zhuo Ran had just arrived at the gate of the city, and before he had time to say a word to Nie Hanshan, horns sounded outside the gate, followed by a series of explosives.

Basically the same as Los Angeles.Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, Wang Heng pulled Zhuo Ran to hide, and Nie Hanshan also hid not far away and glanced at Wang Heng.Wang Heng nodded, and Nie Hanshan shouted, "Let go!"

In an instant, gunpowder was thrown from the city wall and approached the ancient Qiang team to suppress the firepower.Zhuo Ran and Wang Heng took the opportunity to go up the tower, Wang Heng pointed not far away and said, "Did you see, that's Bayer."

Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, although she was a little far away, Zhuo Ran could still see Bayer's appearance clearly.Not much different from what I saw in Yuzhou City, Baier looked even more magnificent, with tattoos on his cheeks, he looked fierce and terrifying, and he was holding a machete in his hand.The scimitar was very conspicuous, but Zhuo Ran didn't worry about it. She looked at the people behind Bayer and took a deep breath in her heart.

so many people.To attack in, I'm afraid it won't even take a day.It will take three days, this... can it last until Li Yanchuan comes back, but Zhuo Ran can't think too much, all the explosives in the city were used in the first round, Zhuo Ran saw that Bayer was indeed suppressed, and retreated a little, but It is even more difficult to defend at night. If they make a surprise attack at night, Yongzhou City will be over.

Wang Heng said in a deep voice, "They are still planning to hit the city gate."

Zhuo Ran said: "As long as the city gate is guarded, there is nothing to be afraid of. But... if they bomb again, it will not be so easy."

"It depends on God's will." Wang Heng sighed, "They should not come again at night. It seems that they were frightened by the first round. Let's see how much gunpowder is left. They can last for a while. "

***
Baier frowned, he seemed to be puzzled why Yongzhou was so powerful, he thought the surprise attack could be successful.Moreover, they had investigated the situation of Yongzhou City beforehand. Obviously, the guards in the city were weak, and they could be killed with one blow.

Unexpectedly, they also had gunpowder.Judging from Bayer's combat experience, he really shouldn't take it lightly. He still needs to check the situation in Yongzhou City carefully, and he can't be easily deceived anymore.

Bayer raised his hand to signal for a temporary retreat, and he told the people around him in the ancient Qiang language, asking them to find out the situation in Yongzhou City, and they must be true and accurate.Li Xunchuan is not here, this is an excellent opportunity, and he needs to grasp it firmly.

For Bayer's temporary retreat, Zhuo Ran temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.But Wang Heng frowned. He knew that Bayer would definitely send someone to check on the situation in Yongzhou City, so he had to make careful arrangements now, otherwise he would not be able to deceive Bayer, and Yongzhou City would fall into crisis again.

But Bayer didn't give them long to prepare.Zhuo Ran didn't dare to relax his vigilance at night, Wu Song squatted beside her, although he couldn't see Zhuo Ran's face clearly, but he knew that he shouldn't disturb her at this time.Zhuo Ran stared into the distance, Wang Heng threw the cloak to Zhuo Ran.

"It's cool at night, cover this up."

Zhuo Ran said softly: "Thank you senior."

Turning around, he secretly stuffed the cloak to Wu Song.Soon Nie Hanshan came over, he didn't like to stay outside, but now he had no choice but to make do with it.Nie Hanshan sat down, very silent.

Several people did not speak, nor did they light a fire, the wind rustled slightly, and the rest was interlaced and intentionally light breathing.Zhuo Ran slowly closed her eyes, the more she didn't want to face these things, the easier it was for her to fall into this situation.She didn't want to trouble anyone, but now, she had to use the so-called sincerity and loyalty to let these people be her helpers.The greatest affection.

Will Li Xunchuan come back as soon as possible?Zhuo Ran clenched her fingers tightly. If Li Yanchuan came back, she would definitely fight Bayer. Li Yanchuan would not let Bayer go easily, so she needed to keep Bayer in Yongzhou and not let him go.But what can be done?Is it possible that I really want to invite you into the urn, and then catch them all?Doing so would be risky.

With people like them, it is impossible to guard the city gate.Zhuo Ran didn't look down on Wang Heng, but was worried about Bayer.Zhuo Ran sighed deeply. Naturally, she couldn't say it clearly, but she gradually relaxed in her thoughts that were getting farther and farther away.

Zhuo Ran was the first to wake up.Before dawn, Wang Heng and Nie Hanshan had already gone to prepare. Zhuo Ran didn't wake Wu Song up, and went to the city wall with light movements.Wang Heng and Nie Hanshan asked someone to count the remaining weapons, and then made some arrangements.Zhuo Ran listened on the sidelines, and nodded when they finished the arrangements.

"There are still four or five strong people around Bayer, let's get rid of them first." Nie Hanshan said, "I saw them yesterday. impossible."

Zhuo Ran said: "Don't talk about killing Bayer, how can we prevent them from entering the city is the real thing. Do you think we can stop them?"

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it." Nie Hanshan said, "Why don't we let them enter the city to pretend? Nan Qing has no confidence in us?"

Zhuo Ran didn't answer.Wang Heng said: "Actually, it's okay. It's still possible to delay for a while, but if they keep attacking and don't back down, then it's uncertain."

"Master, why don't you and I rush out together, and the senior will stay here at the city gate," Zhuo Ran said softly, "It's only a matter of time before he can be caught. I have a hunch that Master Hou will come."

Nie Hanshan nodded: "Okay. Wait until the gunpowder is finished before going. But Nanqing... can you fight? I heard that you have been weak since you were young, and you can hardly touch weapons."

Zhuo Ran said: "I'll know if I'm weak or not after a while."

***
Bayer didn't even wait until dawn to launch the attack command directly.The sound of horns and drums was dull and long. Wang Heng gave an order, and the gunpowder first broke up the team that came first, followed by continuous feather arrows.

Bayer watched from behind the team, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Didn't it mean that they didn't have any weapons?"

"They are at the end of their strength, and it will not be too late to attack after these weapons are used up."

"Nanqing...Zhuo Ran..." Bayer raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "A descendant of Zhuo Ting, I want to see what she is capable of."

Baier tightened the reins and said in a deep voice, "Follow me into the city gate!"

Immediately, the team rushed towards the city gate from a entrenched place like a flood, Bayer was the first to bear the brunt, using the vanguard as cover, approaching the city gate.At the same time, the people in the city are also ready.Zhuo Ran held the hilt of Gu Songyin's sword and looked at Wu Song sideways.

"Don't be brave, if you can't beat it, just run back." Zhuo Ran said.

Wu Song nodded: "I will follow my sister."

Nie Hanshan frowned at the side, Zhuo Ran moved when he heard the sound, and said sharply: "Open the city gate!"

Nie Hanshan tightened his grip and rushed out.The two sides were blocked not far from the city gate, so Wang Heng could only temporarily stop his bow and arrow. In order to prevent them from climbing the city wall, he asked someone to throw stones down on the city wall.

Gu Songyin was light and fast, leading Zhuo Ran forward with ease.Nie Hanshan turned his head to look at Zhuo Ran, and found that Zhuo Ran was indeed not weak. He really doubted the veracity of the rumors from the outside world.Since Zhuo Ran was fine, he went in the direction of Bayer with peace of mind.Zhuo Ran was wearing the soft armor Li Yuchuan had left for her next to her body, so she fought without fear. She saw Nie Hanshan's whereabouts in the crowd, so she also followed.But she looked back at the gate of the city, and felt that it was still a little unsafe, so she turned back.

However, in the crowd, she still saw a familiar figure.Zhuo Ran's eyes widened, and he hurriedly chased after her.

"Sister Fu!" Zhuo Ran said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

Yan Shuihan made a move but was dragged back by Fu Sisi, she replied: "I'm here to help you when I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"You're still injured!" Zhuo Ran knocked down a person.

Fu Sisi said: "I'm fine. Uncle Zhou and the others are not far away, Xiaqiu, you go to Baier first, the king is the first to capture the thief."

Zhuo Ran sighed deeply when he heard that Zhou Yu had also come.Zhuo Ran knew there was no other way, so she could only say yes in a low voice, and followed in the direction of Nie Hanshan.Fortunately, Nie Hanshan opened the way, and Zhuo Ran walked easily, but she couldn't get close to Bayer, and was almost dragged off the horse by several strong men.

Zhuo Ran didn't have much strength at all, so he was pulled hard, but fortunately he hooked the saddle, and he was not pulled down by the Yin of Gu Song.Nie Hanshan glanced back at Zhuo Ran, then turned to her side.

"Go back to the city gate first." Nie Hanshan frowned.

"No." Zhuo Ran shook his head, "Don't let them approach the city gate."

"If you don't, you and I have to give our lives here." Nie Hanshan said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

Nie Hanshan gripped Zhuo Ran's arm and pulled him back in a daze.

Bayer hadn't pulled out the saber yet, he sighed leisurely: "Sure enough, she is the talented woman from Yongzhou they said, but it seems that she is really weak."

"Want to catch up?"

"Don't worry, let's play with her slowly."

The ancient Qiang people gathered at the gate of the city, Zhuo Ran looked at Nie Hanshan: "If there is no problem, I think these people are here to slaughter the city."

"It's a bit serious." Nie Hanshan raised his eyebrows, "Let's go through the city gate."

Seeing that the two of them had entered the city gate, Wang Heng ordered someone to throw the last gunpowder. The ancient Qiang people were immediately forced to retreat and retreated to the previous place.Zhuo Ran frowned: "Is this what you are talking about?"

Nie Hanshan said, "What's wrong? Is it bad?"

"I misunderstood." Zhuo Ran looked around, Fu Sisi and Zhou Yu had already climbed the city wall, she felt relieved for the time being.Nie Hanshan followed her up the tower, and Zhou Yu hurriedly looked at Zhuo Ran.

"Ran'er." Zhou Yu frowned, "Are you all right? Are you not injured?"

Zhuo Ran shook her head: "It's okay, Uncle Zhou."

"Sister Fu," Zhuo Ran said, "Why don't you go back and let Mu Heng take a look at it for you, and don't force yourself to do anything."

"I know." Fu Sisi nodded, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Zhuo Ran nodded: "It's fine if nothing happens. Senior, I really want to thank you this time."

"The matter is not over yet, so don't be in a hurry to thank me." Wang Heng said, "I don't know when the next round will be. Everyone should rest well. Now we are out of gunpowder and there are not many bows and arrows left. The further we go, the harder it will be to fight." .”

Zhuo Ran nodded.She looked around and frowned: "Where's Wu Song?"

Fu Sisi said, "I haven't seen you."

Nie Hanshan also shook his head: "I didn't see it either."

Zhuo Ran's heart sank suddenly, she hurriedly searched around, but she did not see Wu Song's person.Nie Hanshan said: "Didn't I follow you when I left the city gate? Didn't Nan Qing see it?"

"Not good." Zhuo Ran frowned, "I set gunpowder just after entering the city gate, will he be..."

Wang Heng said in a deep voice, "I'll go out to the city gate to look for it."

"I'll go as well."

Zhuo ran down the tower.Wang Heng took some people to help find him, but Wu Song was not seen after a long time.Zhuo Ran became more and more afraid that she would not really lose Wu Song, would he be blown to pieces by these gunpowder, and clearly promised to come back together, but...

Fu Sisi patted Zhuo Ran's shoulder: "Xiaqiu, don't think too much, maybe Wu Song will be back soon, he just has something to do."

But what can a child do?Zhuo Ran sighed deeply from the bottom of her heart, with unconcealable worry in her brows.Fu Sisi knew that her consolation was actually useless, but at this moment she couldn't say anything.

From the moment he got back from the city gate, Zhuo Ran seemed to have lost his soul.Fu Sisi was worried about Zhuo Ran, but no one could do anything to persuade her. Zhuo Ran hadn't entered the water yet, and kept looking down at the vent of the city wall, hoping to see Wu Song come back.

Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly: "This kid, Wu Song, if he's fine, why hasn't he come back. But think about it, he belongs to Lord Hou after all... Now his whereabouts are unknown, and there is really no way to explain it."

Fu Sisi said: "I believe Wu Song will definitely come back, but Mr. Xia Qiu is most worried about Bayer's next attack."

Zhou Yu said: "Bayer, don't underestimate him. I don't know when Lord Hou will come back."

"If you procrastinate any longer, I believe Lord Hou won't worry about this place." Fu Sisi said, "Sir, go rest first, I'll bring some food to Xiaqiu."

"it is good."

Zhuo Ran looked down at the red rope on her wrist, and gently twirled the tail of the red rope with her fingertips. She sighed deeply, feeling less and less confident, no matter what she wanted to do or what she wanted to do.
