Chapter 956: The fight has started?
Chapter 956 The fight has begun?
Even from a long distance away, the two of them could already hear the deafening shouts of killing, the beating of drums, the neighing of horses, the clashing of swords, the sound of heavy objects hitting the door, and the screams of the injured and the dying...
"Is the fight started?"
Qiao Ran looked at Mo Beihan.
Mo Beihan nodded solemnly:
"The barbarians in the Northern Desert have coveted our Dai Viet territory for a long time. The Dingbei Army's mutiny is the perfect opportunity for them to take advantage of the chaos to attack Beiguan City. As long as Beiguan City is breached, the gate to the Northern Frontier will be opened, and invading Dai Viet will be easy. I only hope that General Duanmu can resolve the civil strife and stabilize the army's morale, so that the Northern Frontier can be unbreakable."
"Then let's go and see what's going on!"
"Ok!"
The two men rode their horses to the south gate of the city, and stopped their horses a hundred meters away from the gate, across the moat.
At this time, the city gate had been closed, and on the high city wall, a row of guards pointed their bows at them.
The leader shouted loudly:
"Who are you? The city is defending itself against foreign enemies. We are following the order of General Duanmu to close the city gates. No one inside or outside the city is allowed to enter or leave. Go back to where you came from!"
Mo Beihan showed his badge and looked up:
"I'm Mo Beihan. I received a letter from General Duanmu and rushed here to help. Open the city gate quickly!"
"Mo? Are you... the prince?"
Since Mo Beihan was just a young boy in his early teens when he left Northern Frontier, but has now grown into a handsome young man, the young guards on the city wall did not recognize him, and could not see the badge in his hand clearly from such a long distance standing on the high city wall.
However, the generals who knew him were all at the South Gate to defend against the enemy, and no one could be found to verify his identity.
The two armies were fighting at that time. Although they were responsible for the South Gate facing Dai Viet, they did not dare to let anyone into the city at will. What if this person was a spy?
The guards on the city wall didn't know what to do for a moment. After thinking about it, they decided not to let anyone in easily for the safety of the city.
Hearing the increasingly fierce fighting coming from the front, Mo Beihan was extremely anxious. He didn't bother to waste words with these people. He turned to Qiao Ran and said:
"Ran Ran, step back and protect yourself! I'll find a way to go up and open the city gate for you."
Seeing that he had lost his composure in a hurry, Qiao Ran grabbed him and said:
"Don't worry, let's go somewhere else and see if there's a way to get up."
Mo Beihan shook his head:
"The moat is too wide. Without a drawbridge, it's impossible to cross."
Qiao Ran gave him a mysterious smile:
"I have a solution!"
Mo Beihan inexplicably believed her, even though it seemed impossible to him.
Under the vigilant gaze of the guards on the city gate tower, the two men pretended to retreat.
After exiting the open area at the city gate, he took advantage of the cover of trees to put the horse into the space and came to the corner between the south city wall and the east city wall, which was the blind spot of the two city gates.
Under Mo Beihan's surprised gaze, a small boat suddenly appeared in the empty moat.
"Where did you get this boat from? I didn't see it in that mysterious space of yours."
After getting on the boat, Mo Beihan couldn't help but ask.
Qiao Ran held a long bamboo pole in her hand, and with just a little effort she pushed the pole in the water, and the boat quickly headed towards the other side.
After hearing Mo Beihan's question, she smiled:
"My space is huge, and there are other places you haven't been to."
They were busy taking turns to travel along the way, and the two of them had little time to rest together in the space. Qiao Ran had not taken him to open the gate and go out to take a look, otherwise he would have found that there was a big mountain outside the gate, and the mountain, whether it was an open space or a forest, was almost full of things.
Mo Beihan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
