Chapter 343: Soldiers Approaching the City (3)
Banhua suddenly remembered the dream she had, an arrow pierced her back, and she didn't even have time to dodge, so she was buried under an arrow.
The feeling of this arrow is very similar to the arrow in her dream, as if it was shot by the same person.
"General, are you okay?!" The deputy turned pale with fright, and fought desperately to get to Ban Hua's side.
"I'm fine," Ban Hua shook his head, and glanced at his bleeding arm, "Don't be distracted on the battlefield, there is no solitary on this arrow, so don't worry."
Because a true archer can kill a person without having to tamper with the arrow.
There were fewer and fewer soldiers in the imperial army. The Rong family army was red-eyed. One fell down and two rushed up. The siege vehicle hit the city gate, but the gate of the capital was tall and strong, unlike those in other states and counties. The city gate is so easy to break through.
But no matter how strong the gate is, as long as the defenders of the city are defeated, there will be a moment when they will be knocked open.
The south gate... finally broke.
"General," the little soldier on the east gate looked at the old general in horror, "the south gate is broken."
"Who broke the city gate?"
"Princess Fuller."
The veteran laughed loudly when he heard the words, "As expected of the descendants of the marshal, even a girl is still domineering." He walked to the wall, glanced at the uniform Rong family army under the city, and said to the lieutenants behind him: "When the marshal led us back then, our military discipline was as strict as this."
The restless lieutenants didn't understand why the old general said this, and they were a little confused for a while.
"It's been decades, decades," the veteran laughed out loud, "I, an old fellow, have finally waited for this day."
"Come here, go open the city gate and welcome the Rong family army into the city."
"General!"
The old general shook his head, his gray hair swaying gently in the breeze, "You have followed me for many years, how can I have the heart for you to die? The Rong family army is coming fiercely, we are not his opponent."
Once the generals are successful, his generals are reluctant to let these soldiers die by their own swords.
When the marshal was plotted against by the royal family back then, these brothers were so angry that they even thought of rebelling, and finally the marshal lay dying on the bed stopped them.
"You are all people with families, how can I be willing to let you do such a big thing for me?"
"After I return to Beijing, you guard the frontier well. Don't slacken your attitude just because of the actions of the royal family. We are not here for the royal family, but for the people of the world."
Later, after the marshal returned to the capital, he stopped letting them have any contact with him, just because the emperor was suspicious and he couldn't bear to implicate them brothers.
This tolerance endured for decades until the marshal was poisoned and died. They did not dare to say anything, just because the marshal said that his descendants still need their care.
In fact, it is the future generations who need their care, but the marshal does not let them take risks.
The descendants of the Ban family have bore the notoriety of being a dandy and useless in the capital for decades, but these old ministries can't do anything. They feel ashamed and feel uncomfortable.
Today, Rong Xia took the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies from the Marshal and appeared under the city gate. Opening the gate was the only thing he could do for the Marshal.
But Qiu Rongxia is not like the people of the Jiang family dynasty. He is suspicious. I'm sorry for Princess Fuller. Then even if these old minions go underground, they will have the face to meet the marshal, and then follow him to fight in all directions.
The east gate was wide open, and there was no sound of fighting or horse honking. Two rows of well-dressed soldiers came out and stood on both sides of the city gate. The old general with white hair and beard came out, every step he took was very slow and very steady.
Rong Xia jumped off the horse, and he went forward to meet him.
"My lord, be careful of fraud." A counselor stopped in front of Rong Xia worriedly.
"Don't worry," Rong Xia pushed his hand away, saluted the old general from a distance, and strode up to meet him.
The soldiers on both sides were very quiet, and they watched the master gradually approach until they stood together.
"Marquis Cheng An," the veteran's voice was a little hoarse, and he took off his helmet, "The veteran is willing to welcome Lord Hou into the city, but please don't embarrass the soldiers in this general's hands, they are also obeying orders."
"Please rest assured, General, Jun Po will never be in any trouble." Rong Xia took a step back and made a big gift to the veteran, "General Gao Yi, please accept Jun Po's respect."
