Chapter 469: Though the Old General has white hair, his precious blade remains sharp!【2】

Outside Yunwu City.

At this time, the Western Qiang soldiers surrounding the east, west, and south sides had already begun to attack the city.

Scaling ladders were raised by the Western Qiang, and amidst the sound of war drums and horns, they charged toward the foot of Yunwu.

On the city walls, a sky full of arrows rained down like locusts toward the foot of the wall.

Tian Yan stood on the east wall, where the Western Qiang were attacking the main force, looking at the Western Qiang soldiers attacking below with a grave expression.

In his hand, he gripped his large spear tightly.

Behind him, several family generals escorted the County Magistrate Zhao Ang to Tian Yan's side.

And behind those family generals followed Wang Yi, who was holding a short spear and wearing a set of leather armor.

Tian Yan took a moment to turn his head and glance at Zhao Ang, who was being dragged onto the wall and was still shouting incessantly.

"What are you shouting for!"

Tian Yan let out a cold snort.

Although Tian Yan had been idle at home for the past few years, his many years of military life still gave the old general an undeniable iron-blooded aura.

After a sharp shout, Zhao Ang immediately shut his mouth.

"Do you think you would be safe hiding in the county government office?"

"Once the city is breached, the entire population, including you, will not be spared."

"Do you want to learn from that Cheng Qiu and become a traitor to the country?" Tian Yan frowned and said coldly.

At this moment, Zhao Ang, listening to the war drums and horns outside the city, was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs went weak.

Coupled with Tian Yan's intimidation, he had long since lost his composure.

"But... but... but this county magistrate doesn't understand military affairs, there is the County Lieutenant..."

"Bullshit!" Tian Yan cursed and said, "What do you mean you don't understand military affairs? When a blade is at your throat, you'll understand!"

"As the County Magistrate, if you don't stand on the wall to inspire the soldiers, do you expect the soldiers to risk their lives to defend against the enemy?"

"If the soldiers knew that they were here risking their lives to defend against the enemy, while you were cowering in the county government office, how would the soldiers feel?"

"From now on, you stay here. Unless the Western Qiang retreat, you will eat on the wall, drink on the wall, and sleep on the wall. Even if you die, you will die here!"

"If you dare to run a single step, don't blame this old man for ordering your execution!"

Zhao Ang was so frightened that his legs went weak.

Tian Yan's family generals had already put a suit of armor on Zhao Ang.

And Tian Yan's gaze fell on Wang Yi behind Zhao Ang: "Who is this young girl?"

Wang Yi stepped forward upon hearing this and said, "Old General, I am Zhao Ang's fiancée."

"Since my fiancé refuses to go to the wall to fight, I will go to battle in his stead." Wang Yi gripped the short spear in her hand tightly.

"Hmm?" Tian Yan raised an eyebrow, looked Wang Yi up and down, and then burst into laughter: "You young girl, you are ten thousand times stronger than this fiancé of yours."

"There are many heroes in my Liangzhou, and women are no less than men. What is your name?" Tian Yan asked.

"Wang Yi."

"Not bad, not bad!" Tian Yan nodded and said, "However, the men of Liangzhou have not all died yet, and there is no need for a young girl like you to risk your life."

"Wait until the day when this old man and the men in this city have all died in battle, then it won't be too late for you to go into battle."

"Your task now is to keep a close eye on him."

Tian Yan reached out and pointed at Zhao Ang.

Zhao Ang, wearing a suit of armor, looked extremely ridiculous at this moment.

A sword and a shield had also been stuffed into his hands.

Whether it was because they were too heavy or because he was frightened, Zhao Ang held the sword and shield crookedly.

At this moment, a scaling ladder happened to be placed on the battlement in front of Tian Yan.

Seeing this, Tian Yan didn't waste any more words with Zhao Ang, but lifted his large spear and propped it against the ladder.

Then several soldiers also used the long halberds in their hands to prop up the ladder.

"Up!"

Tian Yan and several soldiers shouted, flipping the ladder that had just been placed on the wall back down.

Several Western Qiang soldiers who had just climbed onto the ladder were instantly thrown off by the flipped ladder and crashed onto the ground.

However, soon there were Western Qiang soldiers coming up from behind to prop the fallen ladder back up.

"Rocks, rolling logs, smash those little bastards who climbed up for me!" Tian Yan shouted.

The surrounding soldiers, upon hearing this, immediately moved the large stones and logs piled behind the battlements and smashed them fiercely down the wall.

Wang Yi, standing behind Tian Yan, turned her head to look at Zhao Ang, and holding her short spear, she joined the battle.

As time passed.

More and more Western Qiang soldiers were committed to the battle.

More and more Western Qiang soldiers, biting their knives and swords, climbed onto the wall like ants.

Close-quarters combat was inevitable.

Pfft!

Tian Yan had just stabbed a Western Qiang soldier who was climbing up the ladder off the wall with his spear.

But soon two more Western Qiang soldiers climbed up from the ladder.

Tian Yan wanted to pull back the large spear in his hand, but it was held tightly by the Western Qiang soldier he had stabbed, and he couldn't pull it back.

Seeing that the two Western Qiang soldiers were already close at hand.

And the surrounding family generals were also fighting with the Western Qiang soldiers on the wall.

A long spear with red tassels appeared just in time, piercing through a Western Qiang soldier charging toward Tian Yan.

"Good girl!" Tian Yan praised, then released the large spear in his hand and drew his sword from his waist.

Although Wang Yi's figure was slightly slender, her movements were extremely agile.

The red-tasseled spear in her hand was like a snake spitting its tongue; every time she thrust it, she could accurately kill a rebel soldier.

Her spear technique was sharp, and she did not hold back at all.

"Old General, it's not good, the west city cannot hold on." ===== CHAPTER 471 =====
