As the name suggests, the human wall is a city wall built with flesh and blood, over the years, Xiyi has captured a lot of refugees from the Chu State to go back, at this time it is best to resist the Chu army, the other party does not dare to move the rat trap, they are happy to be idle.
There are about a thousand refugees from the Chu State in Mengcheng, so at this time, the Yi army is searching from house to house and escorting them to the city gates as quickly as possible.
Perhaps tired of walking, the two soldiers quietly slowed down, and after the large army disappeared around the corner, they found an abandoned courtyard, closed the courtyard door and began to smoke dry smoke.
"Hey, what do you think the general wants us to arrest these refugees?
We are a mountain city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, a few days ago, the commander of the Chu army, King Ning, personally led his troops to attack the city, and he didn't even cut off a piece of wall skin, and he was seriously injured. ” The thinner soldier pinched the cigarette with his dry yellow fingers, took a few puffs, his face stretched slightly, and he spit out a string of smoke rings before he said, "What do you know?"
We have been pressed and beaten before, and we have lost a lot of troops, and this time it is rare to get back a game, of course, we have to export evil anger!
I heard the lieutenant say that these refugees will be executed in front of the battle even if they don't make a human wall, and the spirit of the Chu army will be severely frustrated. ” The tall soldier suddenly realized, and was about to speak, when a very soft gasp came from the corner, and he straightened up, glanced at the thin man, and then walked deeper into the courtyard.
This house has long been smashed into a big hole by the flint of the siege, there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere, broken walls and scorched beams, and the courtyard of the second entrance can be seen through at a glance, and there is almost no place to hide people, except for the half-man-high thatched pile in the firewood house.
The thin man's eyes were shining, and he raised his chin at the point, and the tall man immediately walked over, the long knife on his side slowly unsheathed, and the sharp grinding sound was particularly terrifying in the silence.
One step, two steps, as he slowly approached, something seemed to tremble slightly in the dark gap of the thatched pile, and at this moment, the sound of stones splashing suddenly sounded outside the wall, and the two soldiers were slightly startled, and then quickly stepped out of the house, and when they were halfway through, the thin man stopped, turned his head and said to Gao Man: "No, go back quickly!"
” The two hurried back to the firewood room, and without hesitation, they tore through the thatched pile with their knives, and the action was so violent that the grass clippings flew all over the sky, and there was nothing in it.
"Damn it!"
The tall one slashed at the table and yelled angrily, "It must have run from behind!"
” The thin man nodded with a calm face and said, "It's probably a refugee, let's hurry up and chase it, and it's good to talk after catching someone back." ” With that, the two of them dodged out the door and ran quickly into the alley.
The abandoned house was restored to its original state, empty, as if no one had ever set foot, the crooked wooden door was still shaking, casting a changing shadow, in a silence, a few pieces of debris fell from the collapsed wall of the firewood room, and then a head came out from behind, looking like a little boy of seven or eight years old, his face was stained with wall ash and grass clippings, embarrassed, but the big black eyes were extremely smart, and he glanced at the courtyard in a moment, and then overflowed with joy.
"Sister, they're gone!"
There was a stumble behind the wall, and Yue Lingxi, whom he called his sister, stood up with a stone brick, it seemed that his left leg was injured and he couldn't use his strength, but he barely stood up straight and looked around, and only nodded at the boy after making sure it was safe.
The boy was still immersed in the excitement of the tiger's mouth to escape, and took two steps back to make a serious gesture at her, saying: "Thank you sister for saving me from danger, if I can get out of trouble this time, I will repay her!"
” There seemed to be doubts flashing in Yue Lingxi's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he shook his hand, indicating that he didn't have to be polite, and then put his index finger and middle finger upside down and overlapped and swung it, the boy tilted his head and looked at it for a while, and suddenly understood.
"You mean......
Should we get out of here as soon as possible?
” Yue Lingxi bowed his head slightly.
"That's true, but where can we go?"
The boy lowered his thick eyelashes and carefully calculated, his expression was slightly solemn, "The streets are full of people capturing refugees outside, I have observed their routes, only this area has the least number of patrols, if we go out like this, we will be caught in a few miles, and even if we leave here, where can we go?"
The gates are sealed and heavily guarded, and the two of us can't escape......"
This time, Yue Lingxi was silent for a longer time, as if analyzing every word he said, and after a long time, her lips, who had never spoken, moved twice, her voice was like broken jade, and the words were like pearls.
"Let's go."
The boy was stunned, and finally sensed that something was wrong from the jerky pronunciation and the wrong version of the answer, and opened his mouth wide in surprise and asked, "You, are you from Xiyi?"
” Yue Lingxi quickly understood this sentence, and immediately shook his head, but he didn't explain anything, I don't know if it was because he didn't know whether he could say it in Chu or didn't want to say it, he only spit out a few words concisely: "I will run away too." ” The boy blinked at her for a long time, suddenly grinned, and said neatly, "Okay, let's run away together." ” Having made up their minds, the two of them immediately put into action, at this time the patrolling soldiers had just passed, there was no one on the street, if they rushed to the nearest city gate at full speed, it would take less than half an hour to arrive, but it was a pity that Yue Lingxi's leg was injured and he couldn't walk too fast, so the two simply pretended to be residents of the city and wandered all the way, and it was strange that they never met Xiyi's soldiers again.
The boy was very smart and clever, and he didn't ask more than half a word, but under the observation of his words, he gradually understood one thing, the route chosen by Yue Lingxi must have been carefully calculated, otherwise he would not have just avoided all the patrol teams, it seems that her plan to escape from Mengcheng is not just talking, he follows her, maybe he is expected to leave this demon cave.
More than half a year has passed, and my parents and brothers should be in a hurry......
Just thinking about it, there was a sudden loud noise from the eastern city wall, as if it had been hit by something, and even the ground was shaken, and the boy was dragged by Yue Lingxi to a corner, and a piece of broken rubble and gray stone fell in a flutter, and in the midst of dodging, the piercing horn sound sounded in the sky above, spreading to every corner of Mengcheng.
"The Chu army is attacking the city!
Quick, get to the gates of the city and line up for me—" As soon as the words fell, countless soldiers rushed to the city gate in armor, dense, like ants, although the boy had been in the city for a long time, but most of the time he was in hiding, he had never seen the true appearance of the confrontation between the two armies, and he was frightened by this battle at the moment and turned his head, but he found that Yue Lingxi was observing the situation at the city gate intently, and his water-clear eyes revealed the composure and calmness of the ten thousand armies rushing in front of him, and he looked a little dumbfounded.
Is she really a refugee too?
Before they could figure out their thoughts, there was another wave of shaking, more than a dozen boulders fell to the city wall with great precision, and the cracked gravel smashed into the nearby houses, and the place where they were hiding was not spared, the eaves collapsed in half, the beams fell diagonally, Yue Lingxi's eyes quickly pulled the boy to the side, and he was able to avoid this flying disaster.
The noise outside became louder and louder, as if the Yi army was caught off guard by the Chu army, and someone shouted in surprise: "It's King Ning!"
It was King Ning who led the troops!
” The two of them in the shadows were stunned.
Wasn't King Ning seriously injured?
How could a surprise attack be launched at this moment?
Could it be ......
Is this fake news released to let the Yi army relax their vigilance?
The boy didn't think as much as Yue Lingxi thought, and said with excitement on his face: "Great!

King Ning is fine, he will definitely be able to take Mengcheng this time!
We are saved!
” Yue Lingxi silently looked into the distance, under the bombardment of large trebuchets, the city wall seemed to have collapsed a small half, not to mention the once extremely strong iron gate, which had been trampled under the feet of the swarming Chu army at this moment, so it seemed that the city was broken must be a matter of a snap of a finger.
Being able to smuggle armaments and soldiers into a dangerous place under the nose of the Yi army, and catch them off guard, this King Ning is really powerful.
But at the moment, there is no time to admire him, the Chu army that attacked cut open the cage, and a large number of captured refugees rushed out of the city frantically, they should take this opportunity to escape with the flow of people, Yue Lingxi put away her thoughts, took the boy and was about to go to the city gate, who knew that the injured leg suddenly burst into a tearing pain, and she fell to the ground.
"Sister, how are you?"
The boy rushed over to help her up, his big eyes were full of worry, but Yue Lingxi pushed him in the direction of the city gate, and then made a low sound, the boy understood, it was to let him go, the extremely non-standard pronunciation even sounded a little funny, but he couldn't laugh, he folded back and grabbed her arm tightly, his expression was extremely firm.
"My sister saved me first, I will never throw my sister down!"
Yue Lingxi was stunned, he didn't expect him to say this, and even suspected that he had misunderstood, but the boy had already used his strength to pull her up and let her walk forward with his shoulders.
"Ahh When the two of them took small steps to avoid the sword light and sword shadow, several refugees around them suddenly let out a miserable scream, blood splashed all over them, the boy's face was white, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move, Yue Lingxi didn't care about his injuries, he dragged him and ran to the road, blood flowed from his calves to his ankles, dripping all the way.
Fortunately, the city gate is close at hand.
The Yi army was forced to retreat to the rear by the Chu army, and there was no time to catch the refugees, and the city was dark and vast, all of which were the Xuanjia army of the Chu State.
I don't know when the dark clouds dispersed, the wild geese flapped their wings, cut through the blue sky, and the end of a few lines of white cloud lines is the Yanmen Pass.
The homeland is 3,000 miles, and now it is only one step away.
Yue Lingxi took a deep breath and ran towards the rear of the Chu army with the boy, but as soon as she ran out, the sound of iron chains suddenly sounded behind her, again and again, as if grinding on her heart, she turned her head stiffly, and a behemoth slowly rose from the bottom of her eyes.
