Chapter 163 Defending the City
Jiang Yutong fell into deep thought as he looked at Yinbai County, which was full of southern barbarians and bandits.
It was obvious that these people had entered Yinbai County a long time ago, waiting for an opportunity to act.
She looked up at County Magistrate Cui standing on the city wall. He wasn't panicking at all. Seeing Jiang Yutong, he waved at her and ran towards her. "Miss Jiang, you can see now that Yinbai County is in danger. We don't know where Pluto is right now. I beg you, Miss Jiang, to hand over the grenade recipe for the sake of so many lives, so that Yinbai County can be safe."
Jiang Yutong was protected in a corner by Xia Zhu and the others. The southern barbarians were in front of them. Their faces were unclear in the darkness. Jiang Yutong said firmly, "Master Cui, the recipe has been given to Hades. I don't have any recipe at the moment."
Similarly, the figure of County Magistrate Cui was also in the darkness. A burst of firelight shone over, and Jiang Yutong clearly saw the fanaticism and viciousness inside. Jiang Yutong quietly took a few steps back.
County Magistrate Cui said in a cold voice, "Since Miss Jiang doesn't have the prescription, then let someone who has it redeem her with it."
Before he could finish, he sent an eagle claw towards Jiang Yutong's neck. Fortunately, Jiang Yutong was prepared and immediately dodged sideways. Then he kicked County Magistrate Cui's younger brother sideways, and County Magistrate Cui immediately bent over.
County Magistrate Cui took a deep breath and prepared to greet Jiang Yutong again. He had underestimated Jiang Yutong. He didn't expect that someone would poison the food and let someone walk here.
Jiang Yutong didn't give County Magistrate Cui any chance to react. The moment he stood up, he held his head and hit it hard with his knee. Immediately, County Magistrate Cui's nose started bleeding.
Xia Zhu and others also noticed the movement here, and immediately turned around and stabbed County Magistrate Cui with a knife. The person standing next to County Magistrate Cui finally reacted and blocked the man with a knife.
The two sides started fighting back and forth.
After all, County Magistrate Cui had a lot of people around him, and soon Jiang Yutong was at a disadvantage.
Jiang Yutong was not interested in fighting and led his men to retreat to the other side of the city wall. There were County Magistrate Cui's men in front of them and the Southern Barbarians behind them.
She knew that County Magistrate Cui was unreliable, and she had to do something for the people of Yinbai County.
"Protect me, let's go up to the city wall."
The defense of Yinbai County's city wall had long been extremely weak. It could not hold out for long under attack from both sides, but Jiang Yutong still wanted to hold out for a while longer, so she quietly brought a box of grenades to the city wall.
Magistrate Cui wiped the blood from his nose, stood on the city wall again, and shouted to his men, "More southern barbarians are coming. We have to survive. Follow me and retreat."
Some officers and soldiers who were still holding on felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this. Was their hometown going to be destroyed like this? Their parents, wives, and children were there. They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that their parents, wives, and children would be insulted after they died.
At this time, Jiang Yutong shouted loudly, "Brothers defending the city, hold on! County Magistrate Cui is a traitor. Where did these southern barbarians come from? County Magistrate Cui let them in beforehand. We must hold on! Hades' army is coming."
After saying that, he threw a grenade towards the bottom of the city wall.
Soon, explosions rang out, and the Nanman who were rushing in front were killed and wounded. It was this grenade that gave the defenders hope and rekindled their spirits. The leader of the defenders, Ye Shu, seemed to be inspired and shouted to the soldiers, "Soldiers, let's hold on. Think of our parents, wives and children. Charge forward."
After saying that, Ye Shu picked up the huge rock and threw it down.
With Ye Shu taking the lead, the soldiers regained their morale and killed even more fiercely.
County Magistrate Cui didn't know when Jiang Yutong stood on the city wall. Seeing her throwing grenades down one after another, he was filled with hatred. It was all because of this woman. Originally, everything was under his control. He had let a group of people in early on. When the time came, Yinbai County would not be able to hold on for long with a pincer attack from both inside and outside.
Seeing everyone's renewed morale, and then seeing Jiang Yutong's weapon, Ye Shu directly forced back most of the southern barbarians. Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Shu came to Jiang Yutong's side and said, "Excuse me, lady, your name. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Yinbai County."
Jiang Yutong was throwing grenades vigorously when she saw the blood-stained officer clasping his fists towards her. She stopped what she was doing and realized that this was the leader of the city defense. Jiang Yutong returned the greeting, "Chief Ye, I am Jiang Yutong. We are both from Yinbai County. These are what I should do, but now is not the time to discuss this. If you still have men, please keep an eye on County Magistrate Cui. He is inextricably linked to all this."
Ye Shu nodded, looking at the things in Jiang Yutong's hand with a bit of envy, "Thank you Miss Jiang."
After saying that, Ye Shu did not delay. Now that the pressure outside the city gate had decreased, he could take some people with him to clean out the mob inside the city gate.
Ye Shu shouted loudly to everyone, "Warriors, pick up your weapons, let's kill together."
Soon, the southern barbarians inside the city gate could not resist and retreated one after another. After all, only a small number of people were able to enter the city, and most of the troops were still outside the city gate.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, County Magistrate Cui was about to retreat with his personal soldiers. At this time, the sound of horse hooves, trumpets, and the sound of charging and fighting was deafening.
A group of people rushed out from nowhere. The leader was wearing a silver mask. Who else could it be but Pluto?
County Magistrate Cui was surprised. Pluto had clearly led a large army out of the city, so why was he here at this time?
At this time, the cheers of the soldiers on the city gate were heard. County Magistrate Cui's face darkened and he quietly slipped away with his men.
With the help of Hades, the barbarians in the city were soon killed or injured, and the rest were captured alive.
The Hades gave the order, "Eliminate all remaining Nanman evildoers in the city, as well as those who have liaisons with the Nanman."
Shi Zhiwen led his men back into the city.
Jiang Yutong on the city wall narrowed his eyes at Shi Zhiwen and the Pluto next to him, hiding well enough.
Before they had time to think, the southern barbarians outside the city gate launched another attack. Arrows came like raindrops. Xia Zhu pulled Jiang Yutong to hide under the city wall and took up the shield to resist.
Soon, soldiers fell down around him. Jiang Yutong took the bow and arrow beside him, picked up a grenade, and shot them out quickly. Only then did the rain of arrows decrease.
The southern barbarians were so angry at this moment that they wondered when the Great Qi had such powerful weapons. They didn't dare to move forward at all.
At this moment, Jiang Yutong felt a figure around him. Jiang Yutong raised his head and saw Pluto's deep eyes. This look was so familiar, why hadn't he noticed it before.
Jiang Yutong snorted, picked up the grenade and shot it out again.
Xiao Yifeng didn't have time to explain more and could only lead his soldiers to fight the enemy first.
Soon, there was another group of voices outside the city gate. Xiao Yifeng knew that what he had been waiting for had come and he breathed a sigh of relief.
