These Yellow Turbans were even more unbearable than Yuan Shu's army. They fought without any formation at all. They just chopped and killed indiscriminately. However, the scene was very spectacular. In the blink of an eye, there were countless casualties outside the courtyard wall. Both sides were in the Runan Yellow Turbans.
The strength of the two was originally comparable, but in the past two days of attacking this courtyard wall, Liu Pi's men had suffered heavy casualties, and now they were bribed by Gong Wu, so he quickly fell behind.
What made Liu Pi even more depressed was that his group of men were here to light fires and set off smoke. Many of them didn't even bring their swords and guns with them. The archers who were ambushing on the roof were not prepared for someone to attack them from behind. In the blink of an eye, they
Then there was chaos.
Liu Pi could no longer care about catching Zhang Ning, so he hurriedly picked up his gun and returned to fight Gongdu.
The martial arts of these two people are actually very ordinary. In addition, they have been together for a long time and they know each other well. If they keep fighting, it will be difficult to determine the winner even if they fight for three days and three nights. But there are more and more people who belong to Gong Du's side around them.
Liu Pi became a little timid. Gong Du was imprisoned by Liu Pi for two days, and he had already hated Liu Pi deeply. He danced wildly with the sword in his hand, using all his desperate moves.
When they meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins, one loses the other, Liu Pi gradually becomes unable to resist, and turns around and runs away. Gong Du has already become red-eyed, and does not bother to go to the courtyard to meet Zhang Ning, but only pursues him all the way. The brothers turned against each other.
, this hatred is often deeper than the original enemy. Since Gong Du was rescued by Gong Wu, he mobilized his men to attack Liu Pi's men everywhere. Now the entire Pingyu City has fallen into chaos, with shouts everywhere
The sound of killing.
Pang De saw the sudden incident in the attic and couldn't help but said excitedly: "Madam, please allow me to lead my brothers out to fight for a while!"
Zhang Ning saw the city full of men wearing yellow scarves fighting desperately. It seemed that he had returned to the scene when he followed his father to rise up. However, the two sides fighting in front of him were his own people. He felt a little heartache. No wonder dozens of people were fighting in front of him.
Ten Thousand Yellow Turbans rose up in one fell swoop, but ultimately failed. Zhang Ning knew very well the fighting power of Liu Xin's elite soldiers. How could such a mob be able to defeat those warriors who were like wolves and tigers? Zhang Ning couldn't help but shook his head.
Said: "The situation is unclear now, so don't make any moves for the time being. Let's take a look first and then talk."
In fact, Zhang Ning was secretly feeling pity. She was very aware of Pang De's martial arts. If she let him go, it would be like adding a tiger to the flock of sheep.
Pang De would never act rashly without Zhang Ning's permission. He could only hold the big knife in his hand with itching heart and watch closely what was going on in the city.
Just when everyone in the house secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought they could escape this disaster, the situation in the city suddenly changed. A large group of troops with bright flags and shiny armor came in from the south gate.
Gongdu, Liu Pi was a minor player in the Yellow Turban Army back then, and they have been gathering in the mountains and forests these years. They don't know how to march and fight. After occupying Runan, the guards at the city gates, whether in Pingyu or other counties, were useless.
, so this army rushed in effortlessly.
After this army rushed into the city, they were indiscriminate and killed anyone with a yellow scarf on their head. These people were far better equipped and trained than the Yellow Turban Army, which was similar to a ragtag group. The situation in the city
In the blink of an eye, Gong Du, who was red-eyed by the killing, and Liu Pi stopped entangled and ran away with their heads in arms.
Jian Yong put his hands behind his back and slowly climbed up the south gate tower. Looking at the chaotic situation in the city, he smiled. It turned out that this army was secretly transferred from Xincai by him, and they were Liu Bei's private army.
, the combat effectiveness is far from comparable to that of the Yellow Turbans.
Liu Pi's distrust of him made Jian Yong very angry. Taking advantage of Liu Pi's embrace of two beautiful concubines and having sex in the mansion, Jian Yong secretly bribed the guards of the prefect's mansion. These people joined the Yellow Turban just for money.
Since Gong can buy it
It was easy for Jian Yong to communicate with them. Moreover, Jian Yong also promised to be promoted to an official position, so they worked even harder for Jian Yong. They rushed to Xincai overnight and sent Jian Yong's personal letter,
And he brought this army of tigers and wolves.
After all, Jian Yong was a scholar and did not dare to charge into the battle. He saw the Yellow Turban Army gradually scattering on the tower, so he quietly called two of his confidants to give him a few instructions. The two confidants hurried down the tower, led a group of troops and headed to the east of the city.
Heading towards it, the target was the house where Zhang Ning and the others were hiding.
Zhang Ning and Pang De naturally had no way of knowing about these changes in the city, but they took advantage of this commotion to mobilize the maids and slaves who were also trapped in the house to bring in a lot of water from the outside. In fact, these maids and slaves
There was originally a chance to escape, but now there were shouts of killing everywhere. They were frightened to even go into the front yard to get water, let alone run outside the house.
Soon, the team sent by Jian Yong walked through the messy streets and arrived outside the house. The yellow turban minions surrounding the yard had long since disappeared without a trace, but those piled up in
There were still wet firewood all around. These people had already received Jian Yong's instructions and quickly lit the firewood. The thick and choking smoke floated into the yard by the wind.
Pound covered his mouth with a piece of wet cloth soaked in water and praised: "It's Madam who had the foresight, otherwise this test would have been difficult to pass."
"I don't know where these people came from, but they are probably even more vicious than Liu Pi's men." Zhang Ning did not feel any joy at all. He paused and said, "Tell the brothers to let them cough loudly."
Pang De was stunned for a moment, then he understood a little, turned around and went down to the attic.
Outside the house, nearly a thousand soldiers gathered around quietly, with arrows on strings and swords unsheathed, just waiting for the people in the yard to run out because they couldn't bear the thick smoke. When the coughing sound started loudly in the yard, these people
There was obviously a little excitement on his face. However, as the coughing became weaker and weaker, until no sound could be heard anymore, no one was seen running out of the yard.
The leaders were two of Jian Yong's confidants, one named Er Leng and the other Ye Lang. The two couldn't help turning their heads to look at each other. They both found excitement and excitement flashing in the other's eyes, and they said in unison: "They must be."
Passed out!"
So the group of soldiers guarding outside the courtyard began to get busy again. It seemed that the remaining fire on the firewood had dissipated. After most of the smoke had dissipated, they shouted and rushed to the inner courtyard together. Suddenly, the sound of "swish" piercing the air could be heard endlessly.
Twenty or thirty personal guards appeared on the wall of the inner courtyard, which had been silent just now, and the iron arrows of the powerful crossbows were mercilessly thrust into the throats of the soldiers who were charging at the front.
Ye Lang stamped his feet and shouted: "Quickly, light a fire! Light a fire! Burn them to death!"
Er Leng hurriedly stopped him and said, "No! Master Jian has ordered that we must capture everyone alive, especially the woman inside, she must be alive!"
Ye Lang said angrily: "His grandma caused us to kill so many brothers. When I catch her, I will torture her to the point of ecstasy. Someone, let me smoke!"
Thick smoke rose again, this time even worse than before. No coughing could be heard from inside. Ye Lang was still giving orders for more firewood. He was obviously very angry at the trick played by the people in the yard just now. However,
, His continuous smoking really had an effect. In the courtyard where the sound had been silenced, there were bouts of coughing again, and they were tighter than before, much more violent than before.
The smoke went upwards, and the second floor of the attic was completely shrouded in smoke. Zhang Ning and Pang De were forced to retreat to the first floor. It was impossible to observe the situation outside here, and the first floor of the attic was now full of smoke.
The choking smoke.
Zhang Ning couldn't even see clearly where Pound was. Her bright eyes were a little red from the thick smoke, and there were bursts of pain. Zhang Ning sighed and fumbled to open the door holding the two homing pigeons.
There was a sound of flapping wings, and two homing pigeons flapped their wings and flew into the blue sky.
Although Pang De had good eyesight, he could barely see Zhang Ning's direction clearly, and said in surprise: "Why is Madam releasing the homing pigeon at this time? The general is still capable of fighting, so he must protect Madam!"
Zhang Ning choked and pulled out the sword she was wearing. This sword was given to her by Xu Huang back then. Zhang Ning put the sword on her neck, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Husband, farewell, what if we
By fate, see you in the next life!"
Pang De was shocked, stepped forward, and said repeatedly: "Madam, you must not commit suicide! Things may turn around."
"Stop!" Zhang Ning screamed, stopped Pang De, and then said seriously, "Although I am just a weak woman, I don't want this pure and pure body to fall into the hands of the enemy. After I leave, please let General Pang go.
Burn this place down!"
Pang De wanted to step forward and seize the sword from Zhang Ning's hand, but all his skills were on horseback, and he was not good at using fists and feet. Moreover, the smoke was thick here, so he was worried that he would not be able to succeed and Zhang Ning would die.
Zhi Geng decided. When he was in a dilemma, Pound suddenly looked happy and said: "Madam, listen!"
Zhang Ning suspected that Pound wanted to stop her from committing suicide, so he took a step back. However, he still couldn't help but listen carefully. Sure enough, there was a sound of "yes" coming from him. He couldn't help but frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Yes."
cavalry!"
Pound still couldn't hide his joy and said: "Listen to the sound, this cavalry is no less than ten thousand, and their movements are neat. Looking around, who else can have such a powerful cavalry except my Han army? Madam, reinforcements are coming!"
The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and they were getting closer. They were obviously heading here. Facing a life-or-death decision, Zhang Ning couldn't help but feel more nervous. He hesitated and said: "General Pang, are you really sure it's our cavalry?"
"
Pang De proudly said: "The general has been practicing bow and horse since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the sound of hoofbeats. Madam, please rest assured that such iron hoofbeats can only be made by the horses of my Han Army, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
I will go and organize the brothers right now, so that we can cooperate inside and outside!"
