Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Surprise Attack on Xiangshui
In the dream, there are vague motherly tears, and the city head changes the king's flag. ------- Lu Xun's "Seven Laws. Untitled》
Chen Long stepped into the bedroom, Peach Blossom screamed and threw himself into Chen Long's arms, Chen Long held Peach Blossom in his arms in distress, and saw Peach Blossom's reduced face, and gradually became a little blushing. Zhang Ning snorted lightly and turned his face away from the intimate pair of mandarin ducks. Peach Blossom said happily: "Husband, I feel better, thank you for finding me such a good Langzhong." Chen Long stroked Peach Blossom's black hair and said with a smile: "Of course, if Mei Niang makes a move, she will definitely cure the disease." Zhang Ning couldn't bear to watch them flirt and scold, turned around and walked outside the house, was grabbed by Peach Blossom, and broke free from Long Chen's arms.
Peach Blossom was embarrassed to be too intimate with Chen Long in front of Mei Niang, and refused to snub Zhang Ning, so she said that everyone went to see Huang Gai together, and said that she and Mei Niang went out of the room hand in hand. The sun was shining outside the house, and it happened that the servants came to ask everyone to have lunch in the Xuan Hall, so the two girls talked and laughed. Chen Long followed behind, and couldn't help but admire the backs of the two, only to feel that one was delicate and full, and the other was tall and slender. Suddenly, I felt that this comparison was a bit obscene, and my heart fluttered.
The more Chen Long followed, the more embarrassed he became, and he couldn't wait to gouge out his eyeballs, but fortunately, the Xuan Hall was not far away, and Huang Gai had already greeted him in person, and when he saw Chen Long, he laughed and said: "Big brother, thanks to your clever plan to capture Liu Min, otherwise I would have suffered a big loss!" Chen Long was overjoyed and said, "Third brother, are you well?" Huang Gai nodded and said, "It's okay, Xing Daorong didn't punish us." Seeing that Mei Niang didn't know him, he quietly asked, "This is the beautiful Langzhong that my mother said, right?" Zhang Ning heard it in front, turned his head and glared at Huang Gai fiercely, so frightened that Huang Gai shrank his neck, turned his head to Chen Long and said, "What a great girl!" ”
Chen Long smiled bitterly and said: "Don't mess with her, I will stay away from her, Peach Blossom's condition is thanks to her so quickly." "Zhang Ning is the secret of the Yellow Turban Holy Maiden, Chen Long decided to rot in his stomach, otherwise the news leaked out, who knows what will happen. If Zhang Ning is arrested, then he will become a complete villain, not to mention the Huang family and Peach Blossom, and even the entire Lingling City will be subjected to the crazy revenge of the Yellow Turban Army.
Huang Gai asked as he walked: "Big brother, I don't know how the battle situation is in Beicheng, how about you and I go to the city in the afternoon to help the second brother defend the city?" I'm all right, and they're definitely going to need manpower. Chen Long's face became even more bitter, so he stood still outside the Xuan Hall, hugged Huang Gai's shoulder, and said, "Third brother, I talked with your father all night yesterday, and I all thought that Liu Du was not someone to follow. Don't you know, big brother, I can successfully save you because I reached an agreement with the Yellow Turban not to help each other, and of course, the condition is to save Liu Xian's life. Saying that he talked about the process of exchanging hostages, Huang Gai frowned and thought for a long time, only to understand that Chen Long meant not to make a move, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Big brother, when the yellow scarf retreats, I don't show up, but I can't eat and leave." Liu Taishou will definitely punish our family. ”
Chen Long shook his head and sighed: "The Yellow Turban Army only has 100,000 siege troops of Zhang Mancheng, and they are all real elite soldiers, I am afraid that Liu Du's more than 30,000 people can defend it, and the Yellow Turban Army is determined to win Lingling this time." When Xing Daorong was leaving, he promised to save the lives of the people in the city, and we will see the progress in the afternoon. Huang Gai listened, worriedly followed Chen Long into the Xuan Hall.
The war has begun, and everyone is worried about lunch, only Wang, Taohua and Zhang Ning chatted very lively and intimately. Wang is obviously very fond of Zhang Ning, and asked a lot of medical knowledge, it is rare for this girl to be able to answer fluently, obviously following her father all year round to follow her father's experience in the wide range of Fu Shui, so that she has a lot of experience in medical treatment. Peach Blossom was grateful to Zhang Ning for saving his life, and seeing that Zhang Ning was knowledgeable and fluent in answers, she had already admired her, and fell under Zhang Ning's pomegranate skirt earlier than Chen Long, as if she had become Zhang Ning's die-hard fan and super best friend.
Chen Long saw the peach blossom smile Yan Yan, and swept away the decline after the poisoning, and his heart was also very happy. Zhang Ning only cared about chatting with Wang and Peach Blossom, and the three big men sat bored, so they simply went to the yard to bask in the sun together. Several people were worried about the Yellow Turban Army's attack on the city, and suddenly the war drums outside the city beat again, and Zhang Mancheng's second wave of offensive came. Huang An hurriedly sent a few servants to Beicheng to investigate.
About two hours later, the servants came back one by one, and reported that the north gate was temporarily solid, but the people began to be uneasy, and there was no food trading in the market, and many rich people had fled from the south gate with their families, and Liu Yong was temporarily allowed to let them go. Huang An thought about it, but he still had to make a plan in advance, let them go down to pack up the carriages and horses to prepare, and let the room count the food and water, and let the Wang family and Peach Blossom help clean up the softness, Zhang Ning was bored, and he didn't want to listen to Chen Long and a few of them muttered, so he followed Peach Blossom to help the Wang family clean up.
Seeing this, Chen Long didn't stop it, after all, he was still a little relieved about his promise to the yellow scarf not to disturb the people, and he thought that it would be better for Huang An and them to go out of the city first to avoid it. After some disturbance, the sky gradually darkened, and the Wang family and their seven seven eight packed, all stopped for dinner, and said that tomorrow, if the battle situation is unfavorable, they will immediately go out of the south gate and flee to Changsha, and after the meal, everyone will disperse back to rest. Huang Gai listened to Chen Long's words, hesitated for an afternoon, and went to the city to help after dinner.
Not to mention that Wang and Huang An began to worry about Huang Gai's safety again, only said that Zhang Ning, since he met Peach Blossom, he simply couldn't leave an inch, and the two walked back to the bedroom hand in hand, not even giving Chen Long the opportunity to talk to Peach Blossom. Chen Long slipped into his bedroom with Peach Blossom like a homeless man, only to see the two of them sitting at the head of the bed under the lamplight, one beautiful and pure like the bright moon on the horizon, and the other bright and moving like a fairy in the sky, it is really the most beautiful pair of sisters in the world. After being a light bulb for a while, and was about to say something to relieve the embarrassment, Zhang Ning said, "Brother Chen, we need to change our clothes." Chen Long walked out of the bedroom again, smoked in anger, and went back to the ear room to sleep with his head covered.
Huang Gai had been fighting in the city for a few hours, and Liu Xian had already been robed and bloody, and it was too late to shake hands and say more to him. Liu Du finally came to the north city, and saw that the defense was still quite tight, so he went back to the Taishou Mansion again. Liu Xian had already sent people out of the city to Changsha, Guiyang, and Xiangyang for help, just waiting for the rescuers to relieve the siege of Lingling. The two of them had just rested when they arrived at the city, and suddenly the sergeant came to report, the yellow turban was holding a large number of torches, and came to attack the city at night, Liu Xian and Huang Gai hurriedly climbed to the top of the city again, only to see that the mountains were full of torches, and the whole army was dispatched, and the drums rose like thunder again, and it was a cloud ladder erection, which felt more violent than during the day. Liu Xian mobilized thousands of fresh troops from Liu Yong's south gate to repel this wave of siege, and there were more and more wounded soldiers, which had already crowded the empty field under the inner city, and the sound of wailing was not heard. And under the outer city wall, it has become the hell of Shura, and the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army are piled up into a hill.
The night was deep, the sound of gold sounded far away, the torch light finally slowly receded, Liu Xian, Liu Xian and Huang Gai were so tired that they fell to the ground, resting against the battlements, looking at the soldiers around them, all of them fell to the ground in embarrassment, and some even fell asleep on the wall. Liu Xian thought about it, and asked Huang Gai to lead a few of his own soldiers to the southern city, and Liu Yong brought thousands of people to the northern city to change the city defense, and reluctantly stood up and commanded the people to carry the materials to defend the city to the city.
Huang Gai hurriedly went down to the city with a few personal soldiers, and went straight to the south along the main street, suddenly a group of remnants of the soldiers rushed in, Huang Gai was frightened of where the remnants of the soldiers came from, grabbed a careful inquiry, the remnants of the soldiers were hoarse, shouting that the Xiangshui ferry has been lost, and run for your life quickly. Huang Gai was taken aback, it was too late to go to Nancheng, let the two soldiers go to Nancheng, and the other went back to Beicheng to report the loss of the ferry, and he took the rest of his soldiers straight to Xiangshui Ferry, Kankan walked to the ferry, the remnants of the defeated generals have been surging in waves, only to see the Xiangjiang River, the sails are dotted, the lights are bright, and the black pressure has been lined up in Xiangshui out of sight, and the sound of shouting and killing is not in the ears. Huang Gai knew that the heavy troops were guarding the city at the north gate, and the guards at the ferry were only a thousand people. The Yellow Turban Army, with the tail of the defeated army, had already landed from the ferry, and the black pressure pressed towards the Yellow Cover. Huang Gai knew that he couldn't hold it, so he turned over and went back to the north gate to report that Liu Xian had gone.
Chen Long was worried about Huang Gai's safety, he couldn't sleep well, and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. Hearing the sound of shouting and killing from the west, knowing that it was the Xiangshui Ferry, he couldn't help but be shocked, hurriedly put on his coat, and jumped out of the house to the house, not caring about hiding his figure. On the roof through the ridge of the house, such as flying to the Xicheng, only to the boundary of the Xicheng, only to hear people shouting horse neighing, surging like a tide, looking down, a yellow scarf like flowing water from the street below the house, this is suddenly Zhang Ning said can not hold, referring to the yellow scarf has already been arranged in Xiangshui to take advantage of the night surprise ferry. The Yellow Turban Army didn't know how many people, wave after wave of rush to the central avenue, from the north and south of the city to the defenders of the city gate, the two armies collided in an instant, the sound of fighting and shouting sounded throughout the city, and outside the north city, the drum beat again boomed into the sky, this time inside and outside the attack, Liu Xian may really not be able to hold on.
Chen Long didn't care about going back to the Huang family to protect him, anyway, Zhang Ning should have no worries, so he flew from the roof to Beichenggen'er, and then jumped up to the city, seeing that the city was in chaos, not knowing inside and outside, he had completely lost his command, and there were only a bunch of headless flies left. Chen Long went up and down on the battlements, looking for Liu Xian and Huang Gai, and suddenly a bunch of yellow scarves climbed up to the city, Chen Long refused to entangle, just crossed over the pile of people, and finally found that Liu Xian was besieged by a bunch of yellow scarves, Chen Long pounced on a tiger, knocked open a gap, Liu Xian was seriously injured, crumbling, when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Chen Long, and couldn't help but close his eyes and soften. As soon as Chen Long carried Liu Xian on his back, he avoided the sword and rose up, stepped on the head of a yellow turban soldier, leaped down the city tower, kicked open a house on the edge of the inner city, and the building was empty, so he settled Liu Xian on the bed, turned over and flew back to the city wall to continue looking for Huang Gai. After several ups and downs, there was no trace of the yellow cover, there were more and more yellow scarves on the city, and there was a sound of knocking and slamming the door at the city gate, obviously the city gate was about to fall. Chen Long was in a hurry, and suddenly heard Huang Gai's broken gong voice, shouting where the son was, and turned around to see Huang Gai alone in the city, hurriedly flew over and hugged him, shouting: "Liu Xian, I have been saved, quickly follow me down to the city." He hugged Huang Gai and flew directly down from the inner city.
Huang Gai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Liu Xian lying on the bed in the house, and Chen Long asked Huang Gai to carry him back to Huangfu quickly. Huang Gai said: "What about you, big brother? Chen Long said: "General Liu Xian is still in the city, I'll look for it again." Huang Gai repeatedly told the eldest brother to be careful, and picked up Liu Xian and walked away.
Chen Long returned to the inner city wall again, and suddenly saw a Yellow Turban general riding a white horse on the main street, directing the troops to open the city gate and let the Yellow Turban Army on the periphery. As soon as Chen Long's heart moved, he grabbed a spear from his side, and shot at the Yellow Turban general like an arrow.
