"Lord!" "Lord!" Ding Feng and others are waiting for Sun Ce's decision. After all, the current situation is not good. The enemy is about to attack. It is unrealistic to set up a defense line at this time. There is no city wall as a defense.
, it is simply impossible to withstand an enemy that is several times larger than our own! Whether to fight or retreat is now all decided by Sun Ce!
Sun Ce looked at the closed door of the city guard's mansion, and almost wanted to order to rush in, but his reason told Sun Ce that retreating as soon as possible was the best choice. In the end, Sun Ce could only grit his teeth and hum: "I guess just now
Zhang Liao and Lu Xun will not be spared from those few rounds of arrow attacks! Let's go!" Now Sun Ce could only place his hope on the few rounds of arrow rain attacks just now. Sun Ce pulled the reins and led the soldiers towards the direction quickly.
Withdrew towards the north of the city.
Now that Sun Ce had given the order, Ding Feng and others did not dare to delay, and rushed towards the north of the city with their troops. In the city guard's palace, only a few of the vanguard soldiers who had experienced several arrow attacks were left.
When there were a hundred people, Zhang Liao was doing better, but Lu Xun was hit by an arrow in the thigh, and he was grinding his teeth in pain. Just now, thanks to Zhang Liao's quick eyesight and quick hands, he pulled Lu Xun away, otherwise, Lu Xun would have been hit by an arrow.
Not the thighs, but the chest!
"Huh? There's no movement!" Zhang Liao helped bandage Lu Xun's wound briefly, tilted his head, shouted in surprise, and turned to look at Lu Xun. It was Lu Xun who had stopped him just now, no matter what
Let yourself rush out and fight the enemy desperately. Now that something strange is happening, Lu Xun must know something.
Lu Xun took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the pain. He groaned and said, "General Zhang! Wait a moment, don't be impatient! If your guess is correct, we may be saved this time!"
"Rescued?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but was stunned. Ever since he was surrounded in Xin County yesterday, Zhang Liao had long lost this idea. Now that Lu Xun said this, Zhang Liao couldn't react for a while. After finally regaining his composure, Zhang Liao hurriedly
He asked: "Master Lu, what happened? How were we saved? Have the reinforcements from Sanjiangkou arrived?"
"No! It shouldn't be! Hiss!" Probably because he was feeling uncomfortable lying on the ground, Lu Xun put his hands on the ground and sat up. Just such a move touched the wound on his leg, which made Lu Xun gasp in pain.
After a long pause, he continued: "The reinforcements from Sanjiangkou definitely did not arrive so quickly! As for what is going on, to be honest, I don't know very well! Just wait! I believe it will come soon.
There’s a clue!”
Zhang Liao also nodded. At this point, there is nothing else to think about. If they are really destined to die here today, he can only fight with the enemy. Zhang Liao simply sat down next to Lu Xun, haha
He laughed and said, "Master Lu! I, Zhang Liao, have only one life and I will die as soon as I die! But Master Lu is the head of the Lu family, so he has to accompany me to death today, which is a pity!"
After hearing what Zhang Liao said, Lu Xun also grinned, as if the wound on his leg was no longer so painful, and said: "The head of the Lu family is just a name! To be able to fight side by side with a hero like General Zhang for so many days
, I am really lucky! Even if I die, I will die without any regrets!"
"Okay! Okay!" Zhang Liao also shouted "Hello" twice in a row. Looking at Lu Xun, he shouted: "I only knew you were a scholar at first, and thought you were also a bit of a sour scholar. Now it seems that you are quite good.
It’s to my liking! We don’t want to be polite like generals or lords! I’m asking you to call me Brother Boyan, can you?”
"Brother Zhang thinks highly of me, how dare I disobey him?" Lu Xun also laughed loudly. In this situation, he had put aside the family interests that he used to worry about, and just simply talked to Zhang Liao.
After all, Lu Xun had not defected to Western Qin for a long time. Apart from the Zhang family and the He family, who also defected to Western Qin, Zhang Liao was the first senior Western Qin official to truly identify with him. Between the two of you, you
They exchanged words with each other, but they were chatting happily in this desperate situation of life and death. When the soldiers of the vanguard army next to them saw it, they also calmed down and were no longer as panicked as before.
"Dong dong dong!" Just as the two of them were talking, a heavy banging sound suddenly sounded from the door that had been quiet for a long time. It seemed that someone was slamming into the door. As soon as this sound rang out, Zhang Liao and Lu Xun no longer cared about chatting.
, the atmosphere that had just relaxed a little immediately became tense. All the soldiers, led by Zhang Liao and Lu Xun, picked up their weapons one after another and stared at the gate closely. The only surviving archer among them also picked up the weapon.
The longbows and arrows of the comrades around him were bent and nocked, aiming at the gate. The banging sounds from the gate were like a big hammer hitting everyone's hearts.
The gate of the City Guards Mansion was actually not very strong. After being bumped into a few times, the thick wooden stick behind the gate was broken with a clang, and the two gates fell directly to the ground.
At this moment, the arrow in the archer's hand shot out with a swish, and flew straight towards the figure rushing in from outside the gate!
"Ding!" However, the arrow did not produce the effect that the archer expected. A clear impact sounded, and the arrow was cut into two pieces by a single sword. Then, from
A loud shout came from the gate: "You dare to plot against your Grandpa Zhou! Boys! Kill them!"
"Kill!" At the same time, Zhang Liao also shouted coldly, and rushed out from under the eaves with a hook and sickle. Behind him, Lu Xun and the remaining soldiers of the vanguard army also rushed out to fight with him.
The enemy fought to the death! Seeing that the two sides were about to rush together, but then, Zhang Liao, who was the leader of both sides, and the general at the gate were stunned at the same time, and even the soldiers behind them stopped.
pace.
"Zhang, General Zhang?" "Zhou Tai!"
The two of them exclaimed at the same time. They saw that the general at the gate was unusually tall and had a full beard, but it was Zhou Tai, the general of the Western Qin Navy! Although Zhou Tai has been in Jingzhou and Henan all year round,
Jiangdong trained the navy, but they were both generals of the Western Qin Dynasty. Zhou Tai and Zhang Liao naturally recognized each other. Although Zhang Liao looked a little embarrassed now, Zhou Tai still recognized Zhang Liao's identity at a glance. Zhou Tai immediately raised his single sword.
, shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Stop the hell! You're one of our own!"
After discovering that the other party turned out to be Zhou Tai, everyone from Zhang Liao and Lu Xun to the soldiers of the vanguard army breathed a sigh of relief. Several of them even gave up their legs and sat on the ground. Lu Xun relaxed and this
The wound on his leg began to hurt again, but at this moment Lu Xun didn't care about the pain. He sat on the ground, but looked at Zhou Tai in front of him and the large number of soldiers behind Zhou Tai and laughed. Not only Lu Xun
, Zhang Liao also took a few steps forward, dropped the hook and sickle in his hand, slapped Zhou Tai on the shoulder hard, and also laughed up to the sky. This does not mean that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, but this feeling of escaping from death does make them
I couldn't hide my excitement.
Seeing Zhang Liao and Lu Xun laughing so happily, Zhou Tai was confused. However, he was careless and couldn't come up with an idea after thinking for a while. He simply stopped thinking about it, scratched the back of his head, and laughed along with him. Fortunately,
There were several lieutenants beside Zhou Tai. When they saw that the city guards were all their own people, they quickly helped Zhou Tai command the soldiers to continue searching other places in the city. Seeing that they acted in tacit understanding, they might have betrayed Zhou Tai.
This is not the first time such a boss has done this.
After laughing for a long time, Lu Xun came to Zhou Tai and Zhang Liao with the help of the soldiers around him. While smiling, he asked: "General Zhou! I really didn't expect it! Why did you suddenly appear here?" Lu Xun has always been known for his resourcefulness.
He was proud of himself, but the situation in front of him made Lu Xun unable to figure out how Zhou Tai, who was originally ordered to follow Gan Ning to station in Guangling, suddenly appeared here?
When Lu Xun asked, he also asked what Zhang Liao was thinking. Zhang Liao also asked quickly: "That's right! Zhou Tai! Aren't you supposed to be stationed in Guangling? Why did you suddenly come here? And you brought so many with you.
people?"
Zhou Tai said with a silly smile on his face: "General Zhang, your question to me is in vain! I don't know anything. You should ask the governor yourself about this question later!"
"Captain?" Zhang Liao and Lu Xun were both stunned. There was only one person in the world who could be called a governor by Zhou Tai, and that was General Gan Ning who had been commanding the Western Qin navy! Zhang Liao couldn't help but exclaimed: "No.
Right? Could it be that Xingba has also come here? What about Guangling? Who is guarding Guangling?" Zhang Liao is also considered a core figure in the Western Qin's tent, and he is very clear about the deployment of the Western Qin's western expedition.
This time, Gan Ning's Jiangdong troops and navy were responsible for garrisoning troops in Guangling and exerting pressure on Liu Bei and Sun Ce. How could Gan Ning leave his post without authorization and come here?
"Guangling? Guangling doesn't even have a single soldier now!" Zhou Tai shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "The governor previously led the army to garrison in Guangling under the order of the lord, and was ready to go to Qu'a at any time. But
Unexpectedly, Qu'a was captured by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sent by Liu Bei first! And what did Guan Yu say? They were ordered to punish thieves. If we dare to invade at will, it proves that the lord wants to assist the traitors! Damn it!
, I originally wanted to follow my wishes and just raise the army to fight!"
Hearing what Zhou Tai said, Lu Xun's heart sank. It was Liu Bei who was really up to something! And the tricks he used were the same as Cao Cao's previous sneak attack on Lang Ling. If there was no collusion between them, even if they killed Lu Xun, he wouldn't believe it! And Zhou
Tai Ze continued: "It's just that Mr. Liu disagreed. After discussing with the governor for a long time, he took us all the way up the Yangtze River. Yesterday we happened to meet the messenger you sent, and we learned that you were trapped here.
