Chapter 188: The Last Battle

Jincheng, West Gate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the head of the city, the young Cheng Chu, who was fully clothed, holding a long knife in his hand, led his Cheng family soldiers to patrol the front line of the city wall.

A thousand Cheng family troops, standing along the city, the banner is clean, and the swords are clear.

Footsteps sounded, and a team of people walked up to the city, and it was Liu Bao who came to inspect.

Cheng Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, Liu Bao inspected it, was quite satisfied, patted Cheng out of the shoulder, and said with relief: "Cheng Out, well done, I really didn't mistake you, defend the city well, let's get through this difficulty together, and after a certain counterattack is an attack and takes the state, you are the first meritorious man, and the position of the Taiyuan Lord is your Cheng Out." ”

"Thank you for the lord's heavy weapon, and Deng will defend the city desperately to repay the lord's kindness." Cheng was busy showing his loyalty and looking grateful.

followed Liu Bao's side, but his face was ugly and gloomy, and he secretly looked at Cheng Cheng with a jealous gaze, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't even feel good in his heart.

You must know that the lord Bo is under the Taishou, the head of the hundred officials, the high and powerful, and has always been the most trusted subordinate of the Taishou.

This position should have been held by him, Liu Bao's chief strategist, but now it was promised to Cheng Zhu by Liu Bao.

What does this mean?

This means that Liu Bao's trust in Cheng Chu has surpassed him, and he has to give up his seat to Cheng Chu, who is now Liu Bao's chief strategist.

There is no way to make him unhappy in his heart, who can't make him like Cheng Chu, who is both food and people, helping Liu Bao tide over the difficulties.

Seeing that Cheng Chu was favored, the limelight overshadowed him, and he could only endure his anger.

Liu Bao was very satisfied, praised Cheng Cheng again, and pointed out how to defend the city, so he left the city with confidence.

Looking at the back of Liu Bao leaving, the corners of Cheng Cheng's mouth quietly swept a trace of an imperceptible sneer.

Night.

Liu Bao, who had inspected the city and was quite satisfied with the city defense, returned to Fuzhong.

With a little tiredness, Liu Bao still went to the room, the house was still brightly lit, but he saw Atina flipping through the book under the lamp, and waited for him alone in the empty room for a long time.

Atina looked up and saw that it was Liu Bao who had returned, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she hurriedly got up to greet her.

While skillfully removing her husband's clothes and armor, she inquired about today's tour of the city.

"Although the 1,000 soldiers and horses of Cheng out are all private soldiers, the discipline is also strict, and with the help of this person, Zhang Yuan's kid doesn't want to break the Jin." In Liu Bao's tone, he regained his domineering self-confidence.

Atina also breathed a sigh of relief, but she remembered something, Hua Rong added a little sadness, and sighed faintly: "It's naturally good to be able to get through this difficulty, but it's a pity that Rouge, and I don't know if she is dead or alive now." ”

Which pot is she not mentioning which pot, Liu Bao has been depressed about the loss of her daughter recently, and her mood is just a little better, and she hooked up the unbearable past, and her face sank.

Atina didn't see the change in Liu Bao's expression clearly, and still muttered in her mouth: "Before my sister left, I told me to take good care of Rouge, but now Rouge's life and death are uncertain, I really don't know how to explain to my sister......"

"Alright, stop nagging."

Liu Bao couldn't listen to it and interrupted her, "I'm tired too, let's rest early." ”

After that, Liu Bao lay on the couch, and in a moment, he snored loudly.

Atina's stunning face showed a little helplessness, and she sighed softly when she looked at her husband who was asleep.

……

The next day, Zhang's army outside the city began to attack Jincheng and the second northeast gate of Jin.

Forcibly attacking the city has never been Zhang Yuan's style, and this strong attack is just to cover Cheng Cheng's internal and external cooperation, deliberately attracting the defenders in the city to the two gates in the northeast

After attacking for four days, the loss of nearly 700 soldiers was reached, and Jincheng was still not breached.

After repelling Zhang Yuan's attacks several times, Liu Bao was confident and became more and more sure that Cheng Chu's strategy was correct.

At the same time, good news is coming from the north.

Wang Hui, who was stationed in Xiaopei, had led 5,000 elite soldiers into the territory of Pengcheng and was moving south along Surabaya to Jin.

Liu Bao couldn't wait for Yuan Shu's reinforcements, but when Wang Hui arrived, the plan of the alliance was put back on the agenda, so he sent messengers out of the city to contact Wang Hui.

Encouraged by all kinds of good news, Liu Bao's shaken morale and the panicked hearts of the Jin people seem to be gradually recovering.

Soon, after the arrival of the army led by the former Taishou Wang Hui, Zhang Yuan will definitely be defeated, and Jincheng can finally recover peace.

Most of the Jin people are thinking like this.

Liu Bao didn't know that when the Northeast Second Gate was under fierce attack, Zhang Yuan's main force of nearly 10,000 people was quietly approaching in the direction of the West Gate of Jin.

At dusk, Zhang Yuan's young figure appeared outside the West Gate.

Le Ma looked into the distance, the dusk sun plated the city wall with a layer of gold edge, and the Jincheng on the west gate was immersed in silence.

"Liu Bao, it's finally time to end everything......" A cold smile rose at the corner of Zhang Yuan's mouth.

Behind him, 10,000 cavalry soldiers were solemn, and every young face was burning with blood and murderous aura.

Cheng Chu had sent someone to secretly write last night, agreeing that in the evening of this day, he would cut off the drawbridge, open the west gate, and let his army enter the city, helping him take the city of Jin in one fell swoop.

As long as the city gate is opened, as soon as his army pours into the city, even if it is ten Liu Bao, they will not want to stop his soldiers, and the city of Jin will be broken.

Looking at the remnant sun sinking in the west, Zhang Yuan took a light breath, raised his hand and shouted: "The appointed time has come, light the fire." ”

When the order was laid, three beacon fires were lit, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.

On the front line of the west gate of Jin, the defenders quickly noticed three black smokes, and then they were horrified to find that the black pressure was like a dark cloud covering the sun, and thousands of Zhang troops were silently approaching the front of the city.

"Zhang Jun siege the city, Zhang Jun siege the city!" The sentry who was the first to spot it screamed, and soon the defenders of the city, who had discovered the enemy's situation, all shook.

Cheng Out and Youliu, who was responsible for assisting him in defending the city, heard the sound of the alarm, went straight to the city, and saw Zhang Jun who was overwhelming outside the city, and their faces changed.

"What's the matter, isn't Zhang Yuan storming the second gate in the northeast, why did he suddenly turn to attack the west gate, and there are so many soldiers and horses?" Yuru said in amazement.

Cheng Chu frowned, and said calmly: "General Hao doesn't need to panic, the attack of the second gate must be Zhang Yuan's suspicious army, our West Gate is his real main direction of attack, and it is necessary to report to the Lord to send reinforcements as soon as possible." ”

"You're right, I'll send someone to report to the lord." As he spoke, Yuru turned around and prepared to give the order.

At the moment when he was instantaneous, the corners of Cheng Cheng's mouth hooked up a hideous, he drew his knife in his hand, a cold light flashed, and the bloody human head came out of his neck, flew into the air, and then fell to the city under the stunned gaze of everyone.

Yuliu's headless corpse shook and fell.

Cheng stood with a horizontal knife, the blade dripping blood, and the body was cold and cold, which was terrifying.

On the first line of the city, the soldiers of Liu who belonged to Youliu were all stunned, all of them were stunned, they couldn't figure out why Cheng Chu wanted to kill their general.

"Kill—" (To be continued.) )
