The black clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to urge, and the light opened to the sun. ------Tang Dynasty. Li He "Yanmen Tai Shou Xing"

Chen Long finally slept for a while, but he didn't sleep well. After a while, I dreamed that Peach Blossom was healed, as beautiful as before, and suddenly turned into Liu Qian naked and was caught and ravaged by the Yellow Turban Army, and she was powerless to do anything by the side, so she could only roar in pain, just when her panicked chest was about to explode, suddenly Zhang Ning's pretty face passed in front of her again, like a fluttering fairy in the infinite sea of flowers, as if she was about to fly away and turn into a goddess of the heavenly realm. Just when beautiful dreams and nightmares were intertwined, suddenly a raging war drum sounded in the sky, smashing Zhang Ning's world to pieces like lightning and lightning.

Chen Long sat up suddenly, and the white light had just appeared on the window lattice, and he was actually awakened by a nightmare. Just as he was wiping the sweat on his forehead and glad that everything was just a dream, he suddenly heard the rapid drumbeat of the war drums in the sky, and the sound of the horn sounded in the sky, and he realized that the siege troops of the Yellow Turban had really arrived.

Chen Longxin came so quickly, stood up and put on his shirt randomly, and opened the door. As soon as one foot stepped out of the threshold, I saw a rocking chair in the middle of the courtyard, and Zhang Ning was enjoying rocking music. Seeing Long Chen go out, Zhang Ning greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Chen, you finally woke up!" I've been waiting for you for a long time, and it's really cold. ”

Chen Long grimaced and asked, "Why don't you look at the peach blossoms well, what are you waiting for me to do?" ”

Zhang Ning said nonchalantly: "Brother Chen, I haven't slept all night, Peach Blossom just woke up, I groomed and fed her medicine, you don't thank me for my hard work all night, and complain about me, it's too conscienceless, hum!" ”

When Long Chen heard that Peach Blossom had woken up, his mood improved, and he thought that he was a little rude, so he hurriedly thanked him: "Peach Blossom woke up?" I don't know, I just said that I bumped into the girl, and I ask you to forgive me. Zhang Ning turned his face unrelentingly. Chen Long was worried about the peach blossoms, pushed the door into the bedroom, and saw that the peach blossoms were still asleep, and asked, "Mei Niang, the peach blossoms are sleeping again?" What are you waiting for me?

didn't hear Zhang Ning's answer, Chen Long turned his face to see that Zhang Ning was still standing in the courtyard angrily, and he didn't follow at all. Chen Long saw that the peach blossoms slept sweetly, and gently walked out and brought the door. I only heard Zhang Ning say sourly: "I know Peach Blossom, she is fine, but the toxicity is still there, so she needs more sleep." As long as you stick to your medication, you will be fine in a few days. ”

When Chen Long heard this, he sincerely bowed to Zhang Ning and said, "Thank you Mei Niang for her words, and I will be grateful for it for the rest of my life." Zhang Ning said: "Keeping your word? Can Brother Chen's promise be kept as promised? ”

Chen Long was generalized again, and knowing that she was referring to her promise to disappear from Lingling with her family, she couldn't help frowning in embarrassment. Seeing Zhang Ning's innocent eyes staring directly at him, Long Chen couldn't help but say: "Mei Niang, can this matter be forgiven for a few days, you see, Peach Blossom still needs to rest, and the Huang family is not ready yet, when they can act, I will definitely fulfill my promise, do you think it's okay?" ”

Zhang Ning snorted and said, "Hey, I know that you don't believe in your words." But what you say is quite reasonable, and I will give you a few days of grace. However, the Yellow Turban has decided to attack the city head-on, that is a matter between us and Liu Du, as long as you promise me that you will not help each other, I will promise you to cure the peach blossoms here before leaving. Chen Long arched his hand and said, "Then it's a word." That being the case, I have one more request. ”

Zhang Ningmei's eyes blinked, and he asked, "What request?" You ask me what I'll do with the people of the city if the Yellow Turbans win this battle? Chen Long nodded and said: "Mei Niang is really ice and snow smart, I just want to ask Mei Niang, if the Yellow Turban wins this battle, you must be kind to the people." Zhang Ning looked straight and said: "I listened to Brother Chen's words in Xiaoxiangyuan that day, I learned a lot, and it is also a fact that the yellow scarves are good and bad. However, I have already asked Xing Daorong to bring back my order, and I have ordered that I only fight against the defenders of Lingling, and not harm and loot innocent people, and I also ask Brother Chen to rest assured. ”

Long Chen's expression widened, and he bowed again: "In this case, Long Chen thanked the people in the city first. That one... I also have a reluctant request, please consider it. ”

Zhang Ning couldn't guess this time, nodded and let Chen Long say. Chen Long sighed: "I have a few good friends, such as the Yellow Turban to capture the city, can you please ask Mei Niang not to hurt their lives." Zhang Ning hesitated: "Who are they?" Chen Long said: "Huang Gai, Liu Xian, Zhou Budo, Liu Xian, Liu Yong." ”

Zhang Ning pondered for a while and said, "Huang Gai is the son of the Wang family, and I will naturally protect the people of the Huang Mansion." Other people can also discuss, but this Liu Xian, unless he surrenders, I can't protect him. Chen Long hurriedly said: "Liu Xian is different from Liu Du, and I hope that Mei Niang will be merciful." ”

A sly smile flashed in Zhang Ning's eyes, and he said, "It's not difficult for me to promise you, you have to take me and find a city to see the battle situation." Chen Long was shocked when he heard this, and said, "This... The big war is coming, and I don't know if I can go up. It's better for the two of us not to delay, Mei Niang has a good rest for a while, and help me take care of the peach blossoms. I'll find a place to see how the battle is going and come back to report back to Mei Niang. ”

Zhang Ning didn't agree: "If you don't agree, I can't guarantee Liu Xian's life... Chen Long hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, you are ruthless, you clean up, let's go." Zhang Ning showed a big smile and said, "That's good!" Chen Long remembered that he had dreamed of her fairy appearance just now, and his face was feverish, but fortunately, his skin was thick enough and he didn't show his timidity.

Zhang Ning was speechless when he saw that Chen Long was amused, and turned around proudly and went back to the house to change clothes. When he came out, he wore a heavy veil on his face, tightened his robe, and put short leggings on his legs, showing his slender figure and graceful appearance. Chen Long didn't dare to look more, said hello to the guard at the door, only said that he would go to accompany Lang to go around the Chinese medicine pharmacy, and walked towards the north city gate with Zhang Ning.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and I saw groups of soldiers, all draped, armed with guns and bows, driving in the direction of the north gate. The battle outside the city is imminent, the reputation of the Yellow Turban is not good, and the people are probably preparing to flee. Now the three gates of the south, east, and west are not surrounded by the enemy for the time being, so if the battle is unfavorable, there will inevitably be a flight in the city*. The main street near the north gate has been closed by soldiers, and a group of people are moving the materials and resources of the city defense to the city wall. Chen Long didn't want to alarm Liu Du, so Dakuan turned from the alleys of the B&B to the edge of the towering north city wall.

The walls are high, and the city is full of shadows, all busy soldiers. Chen Long scratched his head and said nothing, even if he could fly up, so many people couldn't watch it. Zhang Ning was still clever, pointing to the towering arrow tower on the city wall, Chen Long calculated, as long as the action was fast enough, he could indeed fly to the first floor of the arrow tower first, and jump up again to reach the top floor of the arrow tower, where it is estimated that there are no soldiers, but the entire battlefield panorama can be seen at a glance. But it's okay to be alone, how can Zhang Ning get it?

Zhang Ning obviously thought of it, his face suddenly burned red, and his voice was as low as a mosquito: "You... Carry me up. Chen Long was stunned and replied, "What? Zhang Ning slapped Chen Long angrily and shouted, "You carry me up!" ”

Chen Long hurriedly made a silent gesture, thinking that this girl was so rude, and suddenly understood what Zhang Ning meant, and hurriedly said, "I'm afraid this won't work." Zhang Ning said: "Do you have any other way?" Chen Long made a bitter face but refused. Zhang Ning frightened him and said, "Then I'll go to the city gate and let Liu Du pick me up." Ready to leave, Long Chen grabbed him and said, "No, no, even if you can go up, it's too dangerous for them to fight for a while." Zhang Ning leaned over and hugged him.

Chen Long's nose was suddenly filled with that wonderful body fragrance, and he almost couldn't hold it, he didn't stop doing it, he closed his eyes and hugged Zhang Ning tightly, his right foot fell to the ground, and his body flew straight up like a flag flower cannon, and he instantly exceeded the city, most of the soldiers at the head of the city were facing outside the city, and occasionally a few twisted their heads, but they only felt a flower in front of them, and then they saw that there was no trace of them.

Zhang Ning was in Chen Long's arms, only to feel that the man's masculine aura was like a flood of beasts, and he felt very warm, he couldn't help but close his beautiful eyes, and let Chen Long hug him tightly and rise like a rocket, as if he was in the clouds, that feeling made people linger. I felt my body pause slightly, climbed again, and then opened my eyes to the top floor of the arrow tower.

Zhang Ning saw that Chen Long didn't let go, and pushed him away with a moment of shyness. There was a mountain shouting and the sea shouting under the arrow tower, but it was unusually quiet on the arrow tower. The two looked down from the arrow window of the arrow tower, only to see a large piece of golden yellow turbans outside the city, as if far to endless under the sunshine, the war drums beat like raindrops, the yellow scarves outside the city were turbulent, and the army burst like a tide, revealing hundreds of carts full of earth and stones and dozens of ladders, the push team and the cloud echelon rushed forward quickly under the cover of the shield soldiers, and the moat was filled in more than a dozen places in an instant, and the cloud echelons rushed through, and the ladders rose closely against the city wall, opening the passage for the Yellow Turban Army to enter the city.

On the head of the city, arrows have long been like flying locusts, boulders are like rain, and the hot oil waterfall is pouring down in the cloud ladder soldiers under the city, although the heavy shield soldiers will desperately protect the cloud ladder soldiers like a cloud cover, but they can't block the hot oil, and a wail is everywhere, and a pile of charred corpses is piled up under the city in an instant. The infantry that came from behind held the ladder to prevent it from being pushed down by the long pole stretched out from the city, and the death squad with short knives in their mouths and light shields in their hands had already rushed up the ladder, and from time to time the warriors who were shot down by arrows and stones fell into the corpses under the city.

It was the first time for Long Chen to see this ancient city defense offensive and defensive battle, and when he saw that the battle situation was becoming more and more tragic, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Mei Niang, how many troops did you come this time?" Zhang Ning also looked at it, and when he heard Chen Long's question, he replied: "It is the 100,000 elite soldiers of Daqu Shuai Zhang Mancheng who have arrived." Chen Long was silent, thinking that Liu Du was finished, and the gap between the forces was too big.

The Yellow Turbans' first offensive had already made some progress, with a squad of daredevils risking their lives to open a gap, and frantic hand-to-hand combat broke out in the city. The team of Yellow Turbans were all strong in martial arts, and they resisted the siege of Liu Dujun's army at the head of the city, and more and more Yellow Turban troops poured into the city from the gap, frantically slashing and killing archers. The figures of Liu Xian and Liu Xian squeezed out of the crowd, and everyone saw that the son Liu Xian personally went into battle to kill the enemy, and their morale was greatly boosted for a while, and finally they worked together to kill all the yellow turbans in this team, and the city was already full of blood, and Liu Xian ordered all the corpses to be thrown down the city. The fierce offensive and defensive battle lasted for two hours, and the first wave of the Yellow Turbans' attack was finally repulsed, and the besieging infantry slowly retreated, with two groups of cavalry and archers standing still like mainstays, obviously to prevent the defenders from leaving the city in pursuit.

Liu Xian commanded the reserve team and the fresh army to quickly replace the soldiers who fought in the bloody battle at the head of the city, and moved the wounded down the city tower for treatment, and the people went up and down, sending the prepared arrows, boulders, city defense equipment and food to the city head in a steady stream to supplement the loss of the city just now.

Chen Long resisted the urge to help Liu Xian, and secretly wondered why Liu Du was missing. Originally, I always thought that the yellow scarves were a group of rabble, but looking at it today, it is still quite orderly, and Zhang Mancheng's troops are indeed an elite army. Zhang Ning paid attention to the changes in the battle situation, and discussed with Chen Long from time to time, obviously wanting to explore Chen Long's understanding of the art of war, and often fell into contemplation for some of the fresh ideas put forward by Chen Long. Chen Long listened to Zhang Ning's question, knowing that Zhang Ning was not an ordinary woman, and he couldn't help but cherish Zhang Ning in his heart, he couldn't imagine that God favored the beauty in front of him so much, and concentrated his beauty and wisdom on one person.

Seeing that both sides had stopped adjusting and began to bury the pot to make rice, Chen Long jumped down from the city with Zhang Ning and walked in the direction of Huangfu. The moment he stepped into the Huang Mansion, Zhang Ning suddenly said: "Liu Du can't hold it, the frontal attack is just a feint." Chen Long was taken aback when he heard this, and chased Zhang Ning to ask, Zhang Ning slipped into Peach Blossom's bedroom, Chen Long thought of Peach Blossom, and hurriedly went into the house to visit Peach Blossom.
