Dong Huang was shot dead.

That's right, he was shot to death by his own people by the Xiliang sergeant on the opposite floor.

On the city tower, Zhang Jiqing clearly saw that the sharp arrow penetrated Dong Huang's face door and asked for the life of the eldest son of the Dong family, the first heir of the Dong family.

At the moment of shooting, Zhang Ji let out a long breath, as if relieved, and now, he could finally command his soldiers without any worries and fight back against the attack of the mink army.

At the same time, a bad chill rose behind Zhang Ji's back, faintly, and a bad thought arose in his heart.

But he could only forcibly abandon that thought, swing his sword and command his soldiers, and continue to fight back stubbornly.

In the end, the Xiliang people are strong soldiers, not only are they strong in cavalry, but they also have two brushes to defend the city.

After Dong Huang no longer had any scruples, the crossbowmen unscrupulously released their arrows, and the swordsmen frantically slashed at the mink soldiers who climbed up the city along the ladder.

Luo Shi and Sakuromu rolled down and slammed into the brave mink soldiers.

Even though Wen Ping was quite capable of using soldiers, the mink soldiers and soldiers were also going forward and succeeding, fearless and fearless, but the offensive that originally had the upper hand was quickly suppressed.

In less than half an hour of attacking the city, the line along the city line was already stained with blood, and hundreds of mink soldiers and soldiers fell under the city wall, and the corpses were stacked in a thick layer.

Seeing this situation, Mink Xiong's sword eyebrows condensed slightly, and he had a retreat in his heart.

"I really didn't expect that this Niu Fu would be so concerned about the overall situation, and shot his brother-in-law to death with his own hands, lord, I'm really sorry. I'm giving you this idea. I'm afraid it's going to fail. Xu Shu sighed. It's a pity.

Diao Xiong smiled instead, and said disapprerovitically: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, today's accident is not your fault, don't be sorry, send an order, the whole army retreat." ”

The shield has been lost, and the situation is now. Obviously not good for his own side, how could Diao Xiong waste his precious soldiers' lives on needless storming of the city.

Bell Bell Bell -

The sound of gold suddenly rose, spread all over the four fields, and was recruiting from the city of Wen, hearing the sound of Ming Jin's troops, although he was unwilling, he could only obey the order and order the troops to retreat.

Soon, nearly 10,000 siege soldiers. Quickly retreated, under the cover of the rear army. Retreated in an orderly manner.

Mink Xiong then packed up his troops and horses, calmly retreated south, and returned to the camp.

At the head of the city, the recalcitrant Xiliang soldiers were all relieved when they saw the enemy retreating, as if they had been pardoned.

The face of every Xiliang soldier was full of palpitations, as if he had just fought with the devil's army.

The fierce and incomparable Xiliang soldiers who dominate the world have encountered an enemy that they are sincerely afraid of for the first time in their lives.

Looking at the orderly withdrawal of the Mink Xiong army, Zhang Ji also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but secretly praise: "This Mink Xiong, the military discipline is rectified, the retreat is so orderly, there is no chaos at all, it is indeed a general, but unfortunately, the Taishi refuses to reuse, and he has forced such a general to rebel, alas......"

Zhang Ji sighed, and secretly felt a little heroic and cherished the hero in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Xiu, who was bathed in blood, came with a gun, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Uncle, Diao Xiong was repelled by us, but the eldest prince was also shot by us by mistake, how should we explain to the Taishi?" ”

Zhang Ji's body was suddenly shocked, and Fang Shi remembered this life-threatening event.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ji sighed lightly and said helplessly: "Now that the matter is now, we can only resign ourselves to fate, let's go see General Niu first." ”

Zhang Ji had to order his nephew Zhang Xiu to return to his residence first and report safety to his wife Zou.

Stepping into the military mansion, Zhang Ji took a deep breath and walked into the lobby.

As soon as Fang entered the lobby, Zhang Ji saw that on both sides of the lobby, there were more than 100 warriors, all of whom had fierce faces, while Niu Fu sat on top with a blue face, staring at Zhang Ji with a complaining gaze.

Zhang Ji's heart moved slightly, and he faintly felt a hint of something wrong.

He pretended to be calm and arched his hand: "General, the last general has defeated the attack of Diao Xiong, and the thief has already retreated because of the unfavorable siege of the city." ”

Syllable!

"Zhang Ji, you are so bold!" Niu Fu slapped the case a few times, and said angrily: "You know that Brother Huang is in the enemy army, but you deliberately shot Brother Huang and killed Brother Huang, what is your intention?" ”

Obviously, although Niu Fu pretended to be sick, he was clear about the battle in the city, and he had already learned about Zhang Ji's various actions and Dong Huang's death at the first time.

Seeing Niu Fu questioning like this, Zhang Ji suddenly felt bad, and realized that Niu Fu was suspected of pushing the blame, and his face suddenly changed.

"The last general was ordered by the general to defend the city, and the general also said that the Taishi has a death order, and he must not let Wuguan fail, and the last general has no choice but to focus on the overall situation, and order to release arrows, and it is inevitable to kill the eldest prince by mistake, and please let the general know it." Zhang Ji is anxious to raise the arch to discern.

Niu Fu was furious, pointed at Zhang Ji and scolded: "Bastard, I was supposed to ask you to command the city, but I didn't let you shoot Brother Huang with arrows, you committed such a big crime, you don't know how to admit your mistakes, and you dare to quibble, what crime should you be guilty of." ”

Zhang Ji's face changed greatly, and he was suddenly aggrieved in his heart, and said hurriedly: "General Mingjian, the enemy's offensive is so fierce, if the last general does not release arrows, how can he stop the enemy, and the last general has to do it as a last resort." ”

"Excuses, all excuses! As a general of Xiliang, if you don't release arrows, there is no way to stop the enemy? Niu Fu asked sharply, waved his hand and shouted: "You shot Brother Huang, the guilt is deep, how can the general be appeased, come, tie up this guy, put him in prison, and wait for the Taishi to fall." ”

The order was handed down, and a group of samurai on the left and right stepped forward and dragged them away.

"Wronged, general, I wronged......" Zhang Ji's sad and indignant cry quickly disappeared away.

Niu Fuchang breathed a sigh of relief, his solemn expression calmed down, and a trace of guilt quietly swept up in his eyes, and he muttered in his mouth: "I have no choice, Zhang Ji, I can only sacrifice you to carry this black cauldron." ”

East of Wuguan City, the station of Zhang Ji's department.

In the room, Zhang Xiu had already reported to her aunt Zou that she was safe, and the aunt and nephew were anxiously waiting for Zhang Ji to come back.

Zou's charming face was always full of uneasiness, and he looked out of the door from time to time, obviously looking forward to her husband's return.

The hurried footsteps came from Zou and Zhang Xiu's expressions, thinking that it was Zhang Ji's return, and they both knew at the same time and greeted the door.

It was not Zhang Ji himself who came back, but the personal soldiers around Zhang Ji.

The soldier came in a panic, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Master, young general, the big thing is not good, the general has arrested that Niu Fu." ”

Zou's face changed, his plump body shook a few times, and he almost didn't stand firm, and his face was suddenly full of surprise.

Zhang Xiu was also taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "What's the matter, uncle, why was he arrested by Niu Fu?" ”

The pro-soldiers stammered, blaming Niu Fu for shooting Dong Huang so much, and how he sent him to prison in a fit of anger.

Zhang Xiu became more and more annoyed the more he listened, his face became more and more ugly, and he didn't wait for the soldiers to finish speaking, so he scolded angrily: "This is zhīdào, Niu Fu let his uncle guard the city, he definitely wants to push the responsibility and let the uncle carry the black pot, sure enough, this insidious dog thief!" ”

Zou was also so shocked that his face turned pale, with tears in his eyes, and said eagerly: "Xiu'er, your uncle shot the eldest son, and the Taishi became angry, how could he let your uncle go, what should we do?" ”

Zhang Xiu paced in the hall, his sword eyebrows condensed, his fists clenched, his teeth gritted, and his eyes changed uncertainly.

After weighing for a long time, Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, his eyes shot a resolute look, and he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Niu Fu, my uncle has been following you for a long time, but you treat him like this, it is really chilling, it is you who forced our Zhang family to a dead end, don't blame me Zhang Xiu." ”

……

At night, south of Wuguan City.

In the camp of the mink army, in the Chinese military tent, the mink Xiong is discussing with Zhu Wenwu the plan to break the city.

"Dong Huang has been killed today, it seems that our plan to block the arrow has been broken, with the ability of the Xiliang army to defend the city as we see today, with our current strength, if we want to capture Wuguan before Dong Zhuo's army arrives, I am afraid that there is not much hope." Wen Ping worried.

"Not necessarily." Mink Xiong smiled, his expression was meaningful, "Although Niu Fu blocked our attack, he shot Dong Huang, and there will be turmoil within the Xiliang Army, maybe there will be a chance." ”

The voice fell, Xu Chu hurriedly entered, and the voice Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu sent a henchman messenger to come, wanting to secretly ask to see Diao Xiong.

Zhang Xiu's messenger?

At this time, Zhang Xiuhui suddenly sent a messenger to come, and Mink Xiong suddenly had a strong premonition in his heart, when he ordered the messenger to be introduced.

After a while, the messenger entered, bowed his hand and said: "The little one is the messenger of General Zhang Xiu, and I have come to ask to see the general, and the young general of my family is willing to return to the general, and the inside and outside should be combined to help the general break through the Wuguan." ”

Zhang Xiu is going to surrender!

This news made everyone present feel refreshed, as if they had bumped into an unexpected joy.

Diao Xiong was also in good spirits, but he didn't believe it, but asked with a smile: "This is strange, Zhang Xiu is so dignified, why should he return to the general?" ”

The messenger truthfully told Zhang Ji about being imprisoned by Niu Fu.

Mink Xiong suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that something was wrong, with Niu Fu's courage and courage, he should not be able to do this kind of righteous act of killing relatives for the sake of the overall situation, it turned out that he pushed this black cauldron to Zhang Ji.

"Very good, General Zhang is willing to surrender to the general, the general is naturally very welcome, as long as he can help the general capture Wuguan, the general will have his uncle and nephew."

At this time, the trust said: "Although the young general of my family has no choice but to submit to the general, there is still a small request that I want to ask the general to agree." ”

"Say, if you have any request, as long as you can do it, you will agree to it." Mink Xiong waved his hand magnificently.

"That's the case, the major general of my family admires the heroism of the general, so I want to marry Jin Lan with the general after the matter is completed, and become a righteous xiōngdì." (To be continued......)
