Chapter 196: No Courage
After Lou Zaiying got the news of Zhang Shumo from Pan Fengkou, she went all the way north along the city wall to kill it, but found that part of the northern section of the city wall had been occupied by the Jingguo army, so she directly asked for a song of men and horses from the military Sima who was defending the city, and risked death to kill the northernmost city wall.
Since there was a staircase at the northernmost end of the city wall, Lou Zaiying judged that Zhang Shumo would definitely guard the staircase to prevent Jingguo's army from entering the city. Sure enough, as soon as Lou Zaiying led people to kill, he saw a group of Jingguo soldiers surrounding Zhang Shumo and his party, and shouted at the Jingguo soldiers in a hurry: "If you dare to touch a hair of him, I will crush your bones and scatter ashes!" ”
Lou Zaiying's roar shocked the Jingguo soldiers, and at this moment, Lou Guang suddenly attacked, and the long knife in his hand drew an arc to directly solve an enemy in front of him. Lou Zaiying finally led people to rush to Zhang Shumo and fought with the Jingguo soldiers.
At this time, the military Sima who was responsible for guarding the northern staircase found that Zhang Shumo and others were in danger, and he led Wu Xiujun to Zhang Shumo's side regardless of it, perhaps it was Lou Zaiying's yelling that boosted the morale of Wu Xiujun, and finally forced the Jingguo soldiers to retreat near the female wall under the joint efforts of everyone.
Zhang Shumo had the time to ask Lou Zaiying, "Why are you here?" What about the middle and south sides? ”
"Liu naturally led people to guard the south, General Pan Feng guarded the middle section, and now the enemy is mainly attacking the north, and has climbed the city wall from several places in the northern section!" Lou Zaiying explained the situation of his arrival all the way to Zhang Shumo.
When Zhang Shumo heard this, he was anxious. Since the soldiers of Jingguo have climbed the city wall on a large scale, this Xiu Wuzhi must not be able to hold it. Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo immediately assigned tasks to everyone.
"Lord Cai, you immediately take someone to inform the people in the city, and say that the enemy army will break through the city in an hour, and let the people who want to flee gather at the east gate of the city."
"Niu Ci, you take people to load the grain and grass in the city and take it away, and burn all the grain and grass that you can't take away!"
"Niu Wen, you send Wang Hu home, and then take Lou Guang to pack up his things and wait for us at the east gate."
Wang Hu was a little reluctant when he heard this: "Master, you also saw that we can kill the enemy just now!" ”
Zhang Shumo glared at Wang Hu fiercely: "The military order is like a mountain, hurry up!" ”
After a few people left, Zhang Shumo said to Lou Zaiying: "Zaiying, you take people to the east gate to maintain order, the people may cause panic, and then open the city gate after receiving my order." ”
Lou Zaiying said uneasily: "Who will protect you when I leave?" ”
"Don't worry, I'll go to Liu Tiantian and Pan Feng and tell them about my plan!"
At this moment, a soldier pointed to Jingguo's camp and said, "Look, Childe, Jingguo's camp is on fire!" ”
Everyone looked at it, billowing black smoke rose from Jingguo camp, it seemed that Jiang Bin had succeeded! But Zhang Shumo sighed: "It's too late now!" Since the Jingguo army has hit the city wall, there is no reason to retreat now, don't let your guard down and act according to my orders! ”
After speaking, Zhang Shumo hurriedly went down the stairs and ran towards the stairs in the south of the city.
In the Jingguo army array, a guard hurriedly came to Ji Wen's side: "Report to the prince, a group of men and horses attacked the camp and burned our grain and grass." Now there is chaos in the camp, and the whereabouts of the national teacher are unknown! ”
"What?" Only then did Ji Wen find that there was billowing smoke from the camp, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.
Hao Yang, the captain of the pro-soldier team on the side, hurriedly asked: "Lord Wang, do you want to Mingjin to collect the troops and return to the camp?" ”
Ji Wen thought for a moment: "No! The number of enemy troops is small, and even if they were to attack the camp, there would not be many people. Hao Yang, I order you to lead 10,000 cavalry to support the camp quickly! ”
Hao Yang immediately took the order to leave. Yang Xue was apprehensive in her heart, the sneak attack on the camp must be Zhang Shumo's strategy, can Zhang Shumo do anything in the face of such a crisis?
Ji Wen saw a trace of worry on Yang Xue's face, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, concubine, this is just the dying struggle of the enemy army." I will personally lead the troops to attack the city, and I will definitely catch the enemies of the concubine! ”
Waiting for Ji Wen to leave, Yang Xue looked at the city wall of Xiuwuzhi again. Zhang Shumo's figure was gone, which made Yang Xue very disappointed, and she said to the coachman: "Let's go forward and follow the prince!" ”
"No, the front line is dangerous, let the prince know that he will kill the villain." The coachman said resignedly.
Yang Xue snorted: "If you don't go, I'll kill you now!" ”
At this time, Zhang Shumo had come to the city wall again from the stairs in the south of the city, and the southern section was guarded by Liu natural people, which was quite stable. Zhang Shumo found Liu Nature and told him that the northern city wall was about to be lost, and asked him to lead people to hold on for another hour, and then gather at the east gate of the city.
After explaining clearly, Zhang Shumo ran to the city gate tower again. At this time, Pan Feng was killing the enemy in blood, although he was a little embarrassed, but he didn't let the people of Jingguo take advantage. Zhang Shumo had no choice but to explain the situation to Pan Feng, Pan Feng was very disappointed when he heard that the north of the city was lost, and he didn't expect that his first battle as the main general ended in failure.
At this time, a soldier hurriedly came to report: "Report to the general, Childe, the enemy has launched a general attack!" ”
The two hurriedly came to the female wall to observe the enemy army, and the Jingguo soldiers under the city wall were flocking to Xiuwuzhi!
Zhang Shumo narrowed his eyes and sighed: "It seems that an hour can't be held, immediately notify the soldiers and prepare to retreat!" ”
Pan Feng nodded and began to gather the soldiers.
At this moment, Zhang Shumo felt an eager gaze staring at him. Turning his head to look, among the Jingguo soldiers, a luxurious chariot was very eye-catching, and the people in the car were even more surprised by Zhang Shumo, how could Yang Xue be in the Jingguo army?
Yang Xue also looked at Zhang Shumo directly, and in an instant, the four eyes met each other, and both of them were a little stunned.
This is the first time the two have met after Zhang Shumo killed Yang Hua, and Zhang Shumo didn't know how to face Yang Xue. Although it is not clear why Yang Xue came to Jingguo, seeing Yang Xue's dress, he knows that she is doing well now, which makes Zhang Shumo somewhat reassured. So Zhang Shumo showed a smile to Yang Xue.
Yang Xue had thought countless times about what kind of attitude she should use when she saw Zhang Shumo again, but the moment she saw Zhang Shumo smiling, she still gave up, tried to raise her face, and showed a sweet smile at Zhang Shumo.
Suddenly, the Jingguo soldiers killed on the city wall, Zhang Shumo retracted his smile and ran south. Looking at Zhang Shumo's hurried figure, Yang Xue suddenly regretted it very much in her heart, in case Ji Wen wanted to kill Zhang Shumo, would she have a way to save him?
Immediately afterwards, the city gate of Xiu Wuzhi was opened by Jing Guo soldiers, and a large number of Jing Guo troops poured into the city, and Zhang Shumo and his Wu Xiu army also disappeared from the city wall.
Yang Xue sat quietly in the carriage, and her heart was overturned. In the moment just now, Yang Xue understood that she didn't have the courage to kill Zhang Shumo. As long as Zhang Shumo is alive, there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, but if Zhang Shumo dies, his heart will also die!
