Zhang Baocai recovered from a period of dizziness and coldness.
He struggled to climb out of the stream.
Ma Yan'er seemed to have exhausted all her strength, panting heavily on the side.
"They shouldn't dare to come down. It's safe for now."
"How are you?"
"You're not hurt?"
Zhang Bao felt like all the bones in his body were about to break.
The clothes behind him were all cut into strands.
In addition, the river water in early spring is extremely cold.
Zhang Bao couldn't stop trembling all over.
"You knew that from the beginning, right?"
"That's why you took me out of the county, right?"
Ma Yaner asked Zhang Bao coldly.
There was endless disappointment in his tone.
"I……"
"sorry……"
Zhang Bao did not dare to look directly into Ma Yaner's eyes.
Originally, he only knew that Ma Yuanming would defend the county government to the death, but he did not expect that Ma Yuanming would go deep into the rebel camp alone.
If Zhang Bao knew this.
Maybe he won't choose to leave.
"I don't need your apology!"
"From today on, the two of us will never have anything to do with each other!"
Ma Yan'er bit her lip lightly.
There were still thin traces of blood on his lips from the collision with Zhang Bao's lips just now.
Finished.
Ma Yaner stood up unsteadily, turned around and was about to leave.
"etc!"
"Ma...your father was captured alive."
"I know there is a road here that leads to Erlong Mountain. At night, we can go in and rescue people."
Zhang Bao said to Ma Yan'er.
After listening to Zhang Bao's words, Ma Yan'er also stopped.
Turning her head, she looked at Zhang Bao blankly, and two lines of clear tears fell from Ma Yan'er's face.
"Zhang Bao."
"I hate you!"
After saying that, he could no longer hold on and fainted.
"well……"
Zhang Bao stepped forward to help Ma Yan'er, and a long sigh echoed in the valley...
…
at the same time.
At the gate of the county seat of Sanhe County.
The men and horses from both sides were already fighting together.
At the very beginning.
The people on the city wall were shooting arrows and using boulders and wood to prevent the rebels from approaching.
But firstly, there were many soldiers in the uprising, and secondly, there were already preparations.
It didn't take long for the rebels to attack the city wall.
Climb the ladder and start to attack the city wall.
Both sides seem to have offensive and defensive experience.
It was not like the panic during the first attack on the city, under the command of East General Wang An and West General Zhou Fuqing.
They divided into two groups and attacked the city wall.
At this time, the people who were defending on the city wall fought hand to hand, and the entire defensive situation became chaotic.
This time.
The rebels prepared more siege ladders than last time.
At this time, a steady stream of people were climbing up the siege ladder.
And after the last experience.
Ma Yuanming also arranged for people to make many long poles.
You can knock down the siege ladder from the city wall.
The two sides were fighting back and forth like this.
From time to time, rebel troops attacked the city wall, and Liu Yong asked the government officials who participated in the battle to besiege them.
After the war started.
The county magistrate has long since disappeared.
But they still kept the remaining dozens of government officials.
These government officials were barely able to fight.
The city gate at this time.
There are also many rebels who are cutting with knives and hitting with stones.
Although the city gate is thick and heavy, it is still made of wood after all.
If you keep fighting like this for a long time, you will definitely be able to open it.
"superior!"
"superior!"
"superior!"
"Fuck them all!"
"Go to the city gate and set fire to it!"
"Burn it for me!"
General Wang An of the East saw that the people on his side had attacked three times, but were all repulsed.
He immediately became furious and prepared to attack the city gate.
This time.
He had a head start.
But I didn’t expect that moment when I was chatting with the county magistrate at the gate of the city.
Western General Zhou Fuqing also arrived with his troops.
Now two parties are attacking the city.
Whoever breaks in first will have the first victory.
Wang An was also worried.
Jumping on his feet and shouting.
Zhou Fuqing on the other side was even more so.
He was already lagging behind.
If the Eastern Army were allowed to attack first, wouldn't my Western Army become his Eastern Army's helper?
The two generals desperately urged the attack.
And on top of the city wall.
Except for the number 100 people guarding the north gate, the remaining two hundred or so people who can move are all here.
Although they have repelled three rounds of charges.
But the rolling stones and wood have also been used up.
Many people were also injured.
What's even more annoying is.
Those rebels had no moral integrity at all. Almost every soldier who was hit by an arrow was poisoned and lost his combat effectiveness.
Let their defense be greatly reduced.
The next full-out charge may not be able to be blocked.
At this critical time.
Liu Yong unexpectedly discovered that these rebels had retreated.
I couldn't help but be vigilant.
Now, as long as these rebels work harder, they can capture the city. If they retreat at this time, there must be some conspiracy!
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see any backup.
Those rebel armies did indeed retreat.
They rested two arrows away from the city gate.
Liu Yong was surprised.
But taking advantage of this time, Liu Yong made arrangements to treat the wounded soldiers and transport supplies.
to prevent the next attack.
actually.
The reason why the rebel army retreated was because Zhang Guanxi sent someone to inform them.
He said that Ma Yuanming had been captured and that he would use force to open the door early tomorrow morning.
Avoid the loss of personnel on your side.
Although the two generals in the east and west were fuming with anger, Zhang Guanxi's military order was here and there was nothing he could do.
I could only retreat cursing, but I didn't retreat back to Erlong Mountain.
According to Zhang Guanxi's military order.
Stationed outside the city.
Let these soldiers guarding the city not relax. Stay up all night and you will be more confident tomorrow!
…
Erlong Mountain at this time.
Ma Yuanming is being held in the cellar where Hu Dugu was previously in charge.
Liu Chong's people were guarding the outside.
In Liu Chong's room.
Hu Dugu and Smiling Tiger were standing in front of Liu Chong.
"Although this military prince is imprisoned, I think the general's intention is that he still loves talents."
"If we can persuade him to surrender, it will be a great achievement."
"In this case, you accompany me to take a look. You have many methods, so you must find a way to get him to agree!"
Liu Chong said to the smiling tiger.
"Gu Yue, go check out the arrangements for the night patrol. It is our Southern Army who will arrange it today."
Liu Chong said to Hu Dugu again.
"General, I would like to see this military prince. How about I try to persuade him?"
Hu Dugu hesitated for a moment and said to Liu Chong.
"oh?"
"Why do you care about this kind of thing?"
"I've never seen you so proactive before."
Liu Chong asked with a smile.
"This military lord is very skilled. I admire him very much and want to have a chat with him."
Hu Dugu said calmly.
"Yeah, too!"
"This man is a strong man. He killed more than a hundred of us by himself. He is a formidable enemy. It would be great if he could join us."
"Let's go and ask together!"
Liu Chong patted Hu Dugu on the shoulder and walked out.
Hudugu followed closely behind.
The Smiling Tiger frowned and looked at the back of Hu Dugu as he left, with an imperceptible sinister smile on his face.
