Chapter 26: A Closer Look
"Well……"
"ah!"
"Ah ah!"
…………
As the rain of arrows fell, endless screams echoed in the ears, but Wen Du did not feel any pain in his body. Then he opened his eyes and looked back, and saw the miserable condition of the group of soldiers. Either they had been hit by arrows.
He died on the spot, or his hands and feet were injured, crying like a ghost.
"Brothers, rush with me!"
Hearing a military order, an army shouted and rushed out from the right side, killing all the remaining soldiers in front of the door!
Then a general came to the three of them.
"Brother Huang, young master"
Huang Zhong and Liu Qi saluted with clasped fists, and Huang Zhong returned the salute with clasped fists.
"Chang Wen, fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise we would have been killed on the spot. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you. This person is Wen Du, a subordinate of Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha. This time, the young master and I can survive
Since you came here, it’s all thanks to this brother!”
"Thank you, Mr. Wen, for your generous help, General Wen!"
"You're welcome. Since you are willing to come to the rescue, it proves that we are all from the same group. Brother Wen is older than me. From now on, just call me Brother Seti!"
While he was talking, the cavalry team that had been sent out before finally heard the sound and arrived.
"Reporting to the general, I saw a group of Yellow Turban thieves, but they ran into the Jingzhou military camp."
"Can you see clearly?"
"I swear to God, it's absolutely true!"
Wei Yan next to him looked confused.
"What is going on? And why do these people want to kill you?"
"Brother Wen, I will tell you the reason later. Now is really not the time to talk. General Huang, your servants may be in danger."
"Well, I'll go back and take them with me, and we'll escape together!"
"But my father is still here..."
Faced with Liu Qi's worries, Wen Du replied with certainty.
"Don't worry, young master, Cai Mao and others will not harm your father, because their target is you. As long as they drive you away, your brother Liu Cong can take over and become the lord of Jingzhou. If your father dies, there will be no one left."
If there is a will, some people will doubt the rationality of Liu Cong's succession. This is what they don't want to see, so they should run away with us now and find ways to rescue him later."
Liu Qi also nodded, agreeing with Wen Du's analysis.
"Then my father will leave it to the generals!"

His eyes turned to Bingzhou Jiuyuan. Lu Bu finally received Zhang Yang's letter asking for help. After reading the letter, Lu Bu said to Zhang Liao

The archers all drew their bows and nocked arrows. When the Yellow Turban army under the city tower came within shooting range, they heard a cry of "shoot!". As if it was a conditioned reflex, all the archers shot their bows and arrows immediately.
, a shower of arrows flew towards the Yellow Turban Army, and immediately a large number of Yellow Turban Army fell down, but this did not stop them. The Yellow Turban next to them immediately raised their ladders and battering rams and continued to roar forward!
"Keep shooting!"
With the second wave of arrows, another Yellow Turban army fell, but before the third wave of arrows, they had already arrived at the city wall. Five ladders had been set up on the city wall. The soldiers began to climb up and attack.
The city ram has also begun to hit the city gate.
"withstand!"
The door was shaken continuously by the impact, and the soldiers inside the door used their bodies to block the door one after another.
"Don't stop, keep shooting!"
The Yellow Turbans climbed up and down the ladder one after another. The soldiers on the tower also continued to shoot arrows downwards, throw stones, and directly use their spears to push the ladder down. With screams, the ladder fell to the ground, and the people who were pressed down
It turned directly into meat, but the people next to him immediately helped up the ladder and put it on the city wall again.
"Kill!"
Along with the shouting, Zhang Yang saw someone on his left climbing the city wall.
"Not good! Sui Gu leads the headquarters to provide support quickly!"
"No! You guys come with me!"
"Yang Chou, lead your headquarters to support the right side!"
After hearing Zhang Yang's order, Yang Chou did not move, but instead gave him advice
"Lord, the enemy army is strong, and it will be a matter of time before we board the tower. Besides, there are no reinforcements coming yet. We can't win, so we should run away now!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yang accused angrily
"We can run away, but what about the people in this city? What about your family? Do you want to leave them behind? Yang Chou, even if you die here today, you must not take a step back!"
After being scolded, Yang Chou could only run to the right...
About half an hour passed. The five ladders and battering rams were burned and smashed. Without the means of siege, the Yellow Turban Army could only retreat temporarily and ran into the woods to continue building. Zhang Yang finally managed to survive.
During the first wave of offensive, the Yellow Turban Army reached the top several times. Many soldiers were hacked to death or injured, and the city gates were knocked closed...
"Suigu, go and lead the soldiers to reinforce the city gate."
"promise!"
"Yang Chou, go to the city to collect food."
"promise"
"Sir, could you please count the casualties of the soldiers?"
"promise"
After Dong Zhao left, Zhang Yang looked at the soldiers slumped beside the city wall. He felt extremely melancholy, but he couldn't say a word. He could only raise his head and look into the distance...
