Chapter Twenty-Eight: Escape

The archers of the Southern Army who were hiding behind the battlements did not dare to show their faces, and bent their bows and threw behind the battlements, and there were too many low Northern Army, and the projectiles without precision at all still shot down many Northern Army soldiers who came to attack the city.

With the ladder erected on the city wall, the first batch of soldiers of the Northern Army who began to attack the city silently endured the rolling wood and stones thrown by the defenders, and the screams of being hit accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling on the ground stimulated the psychological defense line of the soldiers of the Northern Army.

The southern army guarding the city wall continued to poke out spears from the battlements and stabbed at the climbing northern soldiers, Chen Zhuang deftly dodged a spear leg and rushed to the city wall, wielding a sixty-pound broadsword to kill the surrounding southern troops.

At this moment, the role of personal bravery began to appear, and a southern army around him who dared to play with Chen Zhuang, a tiger, was cut off by Chen Zhuang with a knife. The blood stained Chen Zhuang's armor red, and his cloak was like a man-eating beast, and the surrounding southern troops saw Chen Zhuang rushing towards him with a sword.

The location of the wall opened up by Chen Zhuang was continuously transporting the soldiers of the Northern Army to the city tower, and Lu Zhan saw that several gaps in the city wall had been opened and climbed the ladder to attack it.

"Master Lu, it's dangerous in the city!" Chen Zhuang said anxiously to Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan didn't care about the blood stains on Chen Zhuang's body, patted Chen Zhuang's shoulder, and said, "Chen Zhuang, you really have the courage to be unstoppable, and tonight I will kill the city wall and rescue the brothers trapped under the city tower."

The soldiers of the families who were surrounded by a large number of southern troops were losing and retreating, and the space was constantly squeezed by the southern army and the elite soldiers of unknown families. The so-called husband war, courage also. The morale of the soldiers of the family, who were originally high-spirited, gradually declined.

Zhang Yu, who was protected by the government soldiers, was replaced by evil spirit, Zhang Yu took out the long sword on his waist and pointed in the direction of the city gate and shouted: "If you want to survive today, attack again with me, and we can only live if you join the Northern Army outside the city!"

The soldiers of the government, stained with blood, and some broken armor, brandished a knife with some curly blades, followed behind a woman in ochre-red armor and launched another charge, and the southern army, which already felt that the victory was in hand, was surprised to find that these soldiers were like beasts that had been cornered and began to fight back frantically.

Tang Liyi, who was standing on top of the tall building, saw that the besieged soldiers of the family were desperately trying to break through in the direction of the city gate, and the northern army on the city wall was also desperately trying to meet with the soldiers of the family.

There was a table of dishes in a tall building not far from the city gate, and a young man in white looked at the purgatory-like battlefield in the distance and smiled.

Looking at the battlefield not far away, Tang Liyi sneered and said, "Inform the Tang family to arrange a reserve team nearby to counterattack on the city wall now, and drive these northern troops back to me." In addition, he ordered Hawkeye to shoot not to shoot Zhang Yu. ”

"Why didn't Master Hou kill Zhang Yu who took the lead?"

"Master, you don't know, killing Zhang Yu is equivalent to completely standing on the opposite side of the Zhang family, and there is no possibility of recovery. Ben Hou... No, my goal is the world. Tang Liyi stood on the railing of the high-rise building, blowing the wind, and said in a dignified tone.

Hawk eyes deliberately avoided Zhang Yu, but on the battlefield where the red eyes had already been killed, even if Tang Liyi intentionally wanted to let Zhang Yu go, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky. The ochre-red armor was dyed black and red by the blood of unknown individuals, enemies, or comrades.

Under the continuous charge of the northern army, the southern army's defense line at the head of the city was already crumbling, although the elite sent by the Tang family came to help, but it was still repelled by the northern army.

Lu Zhan gasped against the city wall, his originally handsome face could no longer see the former style, only the armor on his body could tell that this was Lu Zhan.

"Can Chen Zhuang still fight?"

"Yes! I am willing to listen to the young master's orders. ”

Hearing Chen Zhuang's answer, Lu Zhan mustered up his strength and once again rushed down the city wall with the soldiers of the Northern Army, the originally dark night was gradually pierced by the dawn of the morning, and at that dawn Lu Zhan and the Northern Army finally broke through the defense of the Southern Army and the soldiers of the family finally completed the division.

Lu Zhan anxiously looked at the crowd around him and shouted, "Have any of you seen Zhang Yu, the eldest lady of the Zhang family?" Zhang Yu, where are you! ”

A weak answer came into Lu Zhan's ears, "Big fool, I'm here." ”

Looking for prestige, he saw Zhang Yu who was supported by several Zhangjiafu soldiers, Lu Zhan hurriedly went over to help, and saw that Zhang Yu's ochre-red armor had several traces of being broken by knives and guns.

"Don't talk yet, now go out of the city and let the barracks treat you." After speaking, Lu Zhan carried Zhang Yu on his back.

Lu Zhan's neck, which was not covered by armor, suddenly felt a pain, and before Lu Zhan could look back to see what was going on, he heard Zhang Yu whisper in Lu Zhan's ear: "It's so late to call you to save me, this girl wants to punish you." After speaking, he reached out and grabbed the flesh on Lu Zhan's neck.

Although Zhang Yu's is not heavy, the weight of the armor makes the tired Lu Zhan unable to straighten his waist. But Lu Zhan still carried Zhang Yu on his back and climbed the city wall with flying steps.

After tying a hemp rope on his body, he carried Zhang Yu on his back and fell to the ground from the city wall, Lu Zhan didn't care about the pain after his hands were rubbed, and after handing Zhang Yu to the military doctor, Lu Zhan looked at Xu Hao, who was standing next to him, and said: "Go find Wen Qianhu and collect it, let the brothers withdraw it, this city can't be broken today."

Without waiting for Xu Hao to speak, Wen Qianhu said: "Although our army is exhausted from attacking the city wall today, and the enemy army has already prepared, Mingjin will withdraw his troops and let our brothers and the soldiers of the family withdraw along the siege ladder."

As the sound of gold sounded, the soldiers on the city wall withdrew from the siege ladder one after another, and as the last siege ladder was pushed by the southern army on the city wall, the tragic siege battle came to an end.

Taking advantage of the early morning sunshine, Lu Zhan looked at the cheering Southern Army on the city wall, and then looked at the tired Northern Army soldiers and family soldiers who retreated beside him, and then Lu Zhan went to the military doctor to check Zhang Yu's injuries.

"Doctor, how is she hurting? Is there anything going on? Lu Zhan grabbed the military doctor's shoulder and asked anxiously.

"Master Lu, you... Don't be so excited, Miss Zhang, she lost too much blood and fell into a coma, just rest for a while. ”

Lu Zhan sat next to Zhang Yu's hospital bed and couldn't help but feel distressed when he looked at his face that had turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and Lu Zhan secretly vowed to find the culprit of the turmoil in the capital and make this person pay the price.

instructed the people who took care of Zhang Yu, and when Zhang Yu woke up, he must notify himself, and let people prepare blood-replenishing ingredients such as red dates, so he went to Wen Qianhu to discuss the battle situation.

Seeing Lu Zhan coming in, Xu Hao put his arm around Lu Zhan's shoulder and said, "I thought you would take care of your daughter-in-law and not come to the meeting."

"What are you talking about, am I the kind of person who forgets his friends?"

Seeing Lu Zhan and Xu Hao arguing, Wen Qianhu interrupted the two and said: "According to the soldiers of the family who came back with us, the whole plan was detected by the enemy from the beginning, and the soldiers of the family who attacked the government office of the southern army were also ambushed and defeated."

"How did the people who attacked the Southern Army Office fail?" Xu Hao asked puzzled.

"Let's listen to General Ben."
