Chapter 182 The war officially begins
"I understand, Dawa, I will never let you down!" Ak vowed so confidently that he almost swore to the sky.
But it was almost the same as swearing to the sky, Daji was the moon goddess of their tribe.
Ake left with the wooden sign.
After the people left, Honglian said worriedly, "Girl, what if there are spies in those tribes..."
Pan Yingying raised her eyebrows. "Spies? There are no spies here. There are only chosen workers."
red lotus:……
……
……
Akxing rushed back to the tribe.
The whole family gathered in the tribe's tent used for sacrifices and waited.
Seeing Ake coming back with a happy face, they all gathered around him.
"How is it? Did Da Wa say when she would unify the grassland?"
"Is it soon?"
Ake shook his head, "Da Wa didn't say."
Everyone's expression was obviously disappointed.
"But Da Wa said that we should move to her territory and become her citizens!" Ak said excitedly, "Hurry up and pack your things! I still have to notify others!"
After saying that, Ake ran out quickly, leaving everyone in a state of confusion for a long time.
He also needs to inform other people.
After a while, a scream was heard from the tent, and then people were seen rushing out from inside and running back to their tents to pack their luggage.
……
……
Three days later, a large group of people came to Taoyuan City with big and small bags and herds of sheep and horses.
Lumei saw it from afar and waved happily to Ake who was at the front of the team.
"Ake! You're finally here!"
The young man rode on a tall horse, smiling with his big white teeth showing.
"Sister Lumei! We are here!!!"
……
……
On the day of November 18th, heavy snow fell, and the war between the Prairie Royal Court and Dayu officially began.
General Su Ge led an army of 300,000 to attack Kaiyang and Taoyuan City.
Looking at the huge crowd of Tartars, Yu Chaosheng clenched his fists.
It's really coming.
And there were quite a lot of people coming, probably about 100,000 people.
Everyone on the city wall was on high alert, and everyone, young and old, male or female, wore black armor.
A black flag with the word "Xiao" embroidered in gold fluttered in the wind.
Pan Yingying's long hair was tied up high and braided on top of her head.
The two scimitars in her hands flashed coldly, contrasting with her cold and stern eyes in the wind and snow.
"Hanyue, are you ready?" Yu Chaosheng's voice sounded beside him.
She turned her head and smiled.
"Chengying, it's a pleasure to fight alongside you."
This time, neither of them hid their strength anymore.
Because there are a city of people behind them.
Ake and a group of tribesmen stood below, and they also wore the uniforms and armor of the Taoyuan Army.
Ake gently touched the black armor on his body. It was only the third day since he came here, but he was willing to fight for Dawa and the grassland people.
Because after he became a citizen of Dawa's city, he discovered that life could be so happy.
He could live in a warm house, have a full meal every day, and learn writing and survival skills. Everyone he met in the city was very friendly to him, and no one pointed at his nose and called their Tal tribe a bastard tribe.
In the past, they were forced to fight by the royal court, but now he wants to fight to protect the peace and Dawa.
……
……
"Divine Crossbow Camp, get ready—shoot!" Old man Wang waved the flag, and countless arrows shot out like meteors towards the grassland army under the city wall.
There was no fear on anyone's face.
They were united in determination and vowed to defend the city and never let the Tartar cavalry set foot in Dayu.
After a round of arrow rain, Old Man Wang waved the flag again.
"Divine Thunder Camp, prepare to surrender!"
The round bombs were thrown out by a group of soldiers from the Shenlei Camp who had practiced stone throwing. After a loud bang, many large pits appeared on the ground.
The prairie army's catapults also began to throw stones and gunpowder bombs at the city walls.
San Ya clenched the spear in her hand and looked up at Pan Yingying on the city wall.
Facing the gunpowder bombs and huge rocks thrown by the Tartars, the city lord did not even bend her waist.
Looking at her thin figure, San Ya lowered her eyes and looked at the spear in her hand.
The City Lord once protected her and changed her life. Today, she also wants to use her weapons to protect such a good City Lord.
Several districts that usually competed with each other secretly united today to defend the city.
Chen Qingzhi, Xiao Shan and Jiang Qinghe were guarding the east gate together. They were also under attack from the Tartars.
Jiang Qinghe wiped the sweat off his forehead, turned his head and shouted to the bottom of the city wall, "Is the golden juice ready?"
His wife Chen Dan, wearing a thick mask, was stirring with a large iron spoon. Upon hearing this, she took off her mask and shouted, "Okay!"
Buckets of gold juice were brought up to the city wall and poured over the heads of the Tatars who were building ladders.
Xiao Shan quickly raised his hand and pinched his nose.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw two little girls, Xiao Baoping and Jiang Xinran, sneaking up the city wall with bows and arrows on their backs.
"What are you two doing here!" He couldn't bear the fact that Jiang Xinran was no longer his daughter, so he yelled at them too.
The two little girls didn't even raise their heads as they drew their bows and shot arrows at the bottom of the city wall.
"Kill the Tartars!"
Xiao Shan walked over angrily, "Why kill the Tartars? Go back quickly!"
If something happens, wouldn’t it be the lives of these parents who are going to die?
Two short arrows were shot out, and Xiao Shan's eyes involuntarily followed the direction of the arrows, and he saw two Tartars being shot in the throat and falling off their horses.
Xiao Shan: ...
So they really came here to kill the Tartars?
What exactly did they learn in Taoyuan Primary School?
But now is not the time to worry about that.
Although the two little girls were not fast enough, only two or three of their ten arrows missed the target, which was better than many people.
Xiao Shan nodded with relief, and when he realized what was happening, he almost wanted to slap himself.
"Dad, you don't have to worry about us. The rest of the class is killing the enemy at the west gate, so we certainly can't fall behind."
Xiao Baoping stared at the Tartars under the city wall and let go of his hand expressionlessly.
With a "swoosh" sound, an arrow shot out and pierced the throat of a Tartar.
Master Yu once said that when it comes to archery, one should not rush into it. It is better to spend more time aiming and try to hit the target in one shot without wasting a single arrow.
The classmates in the class are all hardworking, and they are also forced to join the team for daily hard training. With time, she will be able to kill one person with one arrow.
Xiao Shan moved his mouth.
His archery skills are not as good as his daughter's.
In the end, he stamped his feet, raised his sword and protected the two little girls. Although it couldn't do much, it was still possible to block the arrows with his body at the critical moment.
……
……
Meanwhile, Simon.
A big hole was blown in the thick city gate by a gunpowder bomb, and the Tatars holding long swords rushed towards the hole desperately.
Honglian and Lumei lifted a three-meter-long wooden pillar and rammed forward with force. Several Tatars were knocked to the ground, spitting blood.
