"Exactly...... What's going on? ”

On the tower of the west gate of Jinling City, Wang Jian, the general of the Niu Zhu Taiping Army, stared intently at the chaos in the city, and his eyebrows couldn't help but show a little anxiety, because he found that Wei Hu's city guard mansion, where they were under house arrest and the commander of the Niu Zhu Army, was already on fire.

[What exactly is Jang Bong doing?] - Tell him to rescue the marshal, why would he set fire to the castle guard's mansion? Could it be that the commander has been successfully rescued, and this is to create chaos? ]

With all the speculations in his heart, Wang Jian was extremely anxious, anxious about the situation in the city at this moment. Because Zhang Feng has not had the slightest news since he led his troops to attack the direction of the city guard, this makes Wang Jian really a little confused about what is happening in the city at the moment.

At this time, a herald hurriedly climbed the city tower and knocked on the ground and said, "General, General Xu Chang was intercepted by the generals of the Jinling Army, Chu Ping and Guo Sheng, and he was invincible, so he had no choice but to return to the west gate. ”

"Is it really planning to recapture the lost West City Gate first?" With a long breath, Wang Jian nodded slowly.

The Jinling army frantically counterattacked the West City Gate, which was not at all expected by Wang Jian, after all, the four city gates of Jinling were the top priority, and the Jinling Army would not sit idly by and watch his Niu Zhu army occupy one of the West City Gates and turn a blind eye.

"What about Wei Hu? ――Have you ever seen Wei Hu, the commander of the Jinling Army? ”

"General Huiyu, I don't know where Wei Hu is for the time being......"

As soon as the words fell, another Niu Zhu sergeant in the distance hurriedly rushed up to the city tower, knocked on the ground and said urgently, "General, the big thing is not good, General Zhang Feng was intercepted by Wei Hu personally leading troops." An arrow in the chest, unfortunately killed! ”

"What?" Wang Jian's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he stepped forward in a few steps to pick up the soldier's clothes, and asked repeatedly, "Zhang Feng is dead?" Did you really die in battle? That...... What about the handsome? What about the withered sheep? Zhang Fengke successfully rescued the withered sheep handsome? ”

Facing Wang Jian, who was staring at him with a look of urgency, the soldier shrank his head. said in a low voice, "I have never heard that General Zhang Feng successfully attacked the city and defended the mansion and rescued the withered sheep marshal......

Wang Jian sighed in his heart when he heard this, you must know that they had a clear division of labor before: he Wang Jian would take the west gate of Jinling, and prepare for the withdrawal of the whole army from Jinling after the completion of the matter; Xu Chang was responsible for resisting the counterattack of the Jinling Taiping Army, and stubbornly defended several streets near the West City Gate; And Zhang Fengzi led an elite army and went straight to the city guard mansion to rescue the withered sheep.

But he didn't expect that he Wang Jian and Xu Chang were going well. Zhang Feng was killed by Wei Hu......

Of course, this was only Wang Jian's subjective speculation, and in fact Zhang Feng was not killed by Wei Hu, but at the hands of Wei Zhuang, the nominal ally of their three generals and one of the five heavenly generals.

[Damn ......]

Wang Jian couldn't help frowning and gritting his teeth, at this moment, he didn't have time to mourn Zhang Feng's death, he was more worried about the safety of his boss Withered Sheep, after all, the flames of the city guard. It has burned quite vigorously, if the withered sheep cannot be rescued in time. You can imagine what kind of ending it will be.

"Pedal—"

A rush of footsteps came from not far away, Wang Jian subconsciously looked up, but caught a glimpse of Xu Chang, who was covered in blood, running over in a hurry, and before he could get closer, Xu Chang hurriedly said, "What about Zhang Feng?" Are you back? Did you rescue the handsome? - I can't stand it anymore! ”

Wang Jian was even more anxious when he heard this. Shaking his head and frowning, he told Xu Chang the news of Zhang Feng's death, only to hear that Xu Chang's face changed greatly.

"This ...... How good is that? - If we really fight, I'm afraid we won't be the opponents of the Jinling Army......"

Looking at Xu Chang, who was looking anxious, Wang Jian sighed secretly in his heart.

How did he know about it?

There were 15,000 Taiping troops in the Niuzhu army and nearly 20,000 Taiping troops in Jinling. Although the strength is almost the same, the problem is that their Niuzhu army has been newly defeated, and the morale of the soldiers is already a little low, how can it compare to the Jinling Taiping Army, which has been recuperating for a long time? Moreover, Jinling is one of the most important cities in the city under the control of the Taiping army, even Wu Heng does not want this place to fall, therefore, the army left by Wu Heng to Wei Hu to guard Jinling is definitely an elite with extraordinary strength, which is obviously stronger than their Niuzhu army. What's more, the Jinling Army still has Wei Hu, a fierce general, if he can't rescue the commander Withered Sheep in time, Wang Jian is really not sure if he can get away from the angry Jinling soldiers.

"Where's Wei Hu?" Xu Chang asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know! ――It is said that after designing to kill Zhang Feng, he lost his whereabouts, and the general Wang Weidu led the troops there, and he did not know where he went......"

"Wang Wei ......" Xu Chang frowned, then gritted his teeth and said, "You stay here, I'll go!" - I'll take someone to the castle guard again! ”

Wang Jian's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "From here to the city guard?" ――Do you know that along the way, you will meet Chu Ping, Guo Sheng, and Wang Wei? ”

"Otherwise?" Glancing at Wang Jian, Xu Chang gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that the handsome man will not be saved when he dies?" Asked Zhang Bong to die in vain? ”

To be honest, Xu Chang also knew that he might be lucky enough to go, but he felt that he had to go. rescued the withered sheep and successfully withdrew from Jinling with a dry Niu Zhu army, so that Zhang Feng under Jiuquan could be blinded.

"Defend the gates and be ready to evacuate at any time!" Dropping a sentence, Xu Chang picked up his weapon and returned the same way.

Looking at the back of Xu Chang leaving, Wang Jian couldn't help but feel blocked in his heart, he didn't dare to guarantee whether Xu Chang would be able to come back after he went. Wang Jian, who was watching Xu Chang's back, didn't notice that on the roof of the city tower where he was located, there was a man dressed as a soldier, who was pillowing his head with his hands, quietly listening to everything around him.

At this time, the crescent moon and moonlight at the beginning of May were faintly shining on this person's face, and only then could we see this person's true face. This person turned out to be the sickle Mofei, the first assassin under Xie An and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dongling.

Quietly sat up on the roof tiles, Mo Fei supported the tiles under him with his left hand, and his right hand knocked on his right knee without a moment, and his indifferent eyes looking at the turmoil in the city showed a little bit of wonder and incomprehension.

[Listening to what those people in the room said, it seems that the Jinling Army and the Niu Zhu Army fought by themselves...... What's going on? ]

Some people may wonder why Mo Fei, the killing god, is in Jinling? In fact, Mo Fei just followed the dispatch of his second brother Gou Gong and came to Jinling to spy on the Taiping army.

Remember a few days ago. When Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, went to Guangling with an army of 50,000 and the Jinling people, leaving Xie An alone in Hengjiang to fight against his brother-in-law Dry Sheep, Ding Qiu, the current second-generation leader of the Jinling people, sent dozens of Jinling assassins to infiltrate Jinling to prepare in advance for Xie An to take Jinling. Originally, Xie An planned to ask Gou Gong to send a letter to Guangling, so that Ding Qiu could come back and contact the Jinling assassins in Jinling City, but. The battle situation on Guangling's side did not seem to be optimistic, so that Ding Qiu was lacking in skills.

Therefore, Xie An asked the Dongling people to be responsible for meeting with the Jinling assassins in Jinling City, and because of this, Mo Fei, the signature figure in the Dongling people, became the first candidate for Gou Gong.

But what even Mo Fei didn't expect was that before he could touch the city of Jinling, he heard the shouts of killing in the city, and he wondered in his heart and climbed the city tower at the right time. Climb the tower and look out into the city. Mo Fei was shocked to find that the Niuzhu Taiping Army and the Jinling Taiping Army in the city seemed to have a dispute, so that the two armies were obviously the same Taiping Army, but they killed each other.

It wasn't until he touched the vicinity of Wang Jian, the general of the Niu Zhu Army, that he learned the general of the whole thing from what Wang Jian told others.

[Withered Sheep...... Isn't it just an adult's brother-in-law? Are these people ......]

Thinking of this, Mo Fei took advantage of no one's attention to turn over and jumped into the city tower, pretending to blend in with the soldiers under Wang Jian's command.

And Wang Jian obviously didn't know that the soldiers around him were actually mixed with such a killing god as Mo Fei, and he was still staring at the city with a solemn face.

Originally. Xu Chang was responsible for resisting the counterattack of the generals Chu Ping and Guo Sheng of the Jinling Taiping Army in the streets of the city, and now Xu Chang has led his troops to break through the siege to the city guard. This undoubtedly made Wang Jian's defensive strength even tighter.

Sure enough, Xu Chang led his troops to leave less than a stick of incense, and the two generals Chu Ping and Guo Sheng of the Jinling Army had already attacked the city wall from the streets in the city.

"Hold on! Hold! - Defend this place to the death! ”

Wang Jian yelled to boost the morale of his subordinates, because he knew it very well. If the West City Gate is recaptured by the Jinling Army, then, even if Xu Chang is lucky enough to rescue the handsome withered sheep, their Niu Zhu Army will not be able to leave Jinling alive.

West Gate, that's their only way out!

But it's a pity. Even so, Chu Ping and Guo Sheng still attacked the city tower, and Wang Jian was very anxious when he saw the Jinling soldiers who were pouring up the city tower like a tide. After all, he alone could not resist the two generals Chu Ping and Guo Sheng.

"Wang Jian!" Chu Ping, who was in the distance, roared and rebuked angrily, "What is your purpose in capturing my Jinling City Gate for no reason?!" - Don't forget, it was our army that kindly rescued you and others from the Zhou soldiers, but you waited for you, but instead came to harm your own brothers! ”

"Your own brother?" Although Wang Jian was restless in his heart, he was ruthless, and said with a sneer, "Since you are your own brother, why do you want to take over my Niu Zhu Army?" He even put the commander of our army under house arrest and detained ......"

Chu Ping's face turned slightly red when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense!" Quickly tell the corporal to abandon his weapons and surrender, and give up the city gate, I can still spare you from death, otherwise, don't blame Chu for ignoring the feelings of fellow Taiping Army brothers! ”

"Dream! -- With my king built here, you don't think about it! In the spirit of breaking the jar and breaking the ground, Wang Jian scolded angrily.

"Damn it!" Chu Ping was furious when he heard this, and commanded his corporal to shout with his sword, "Kill it!" - Capture the city tower and break the traitor Wang Jian's body into pieces! ”

"Oh!" The Jinling sergeant shouted loudly and attacked with all his might. Perhaps it was attacked by the Niu Zhu army, which should have been a friendly army, for no reason, and the Jinling soldiers were holding a bad breath in their hearts, so that in this confrontation, the Niu Zhu army was defeated and retreated, and almost lost control of the stone steps in the face, so that more and more Jinling soldiers could attack the city tower from this road.

Seeing this, Wang Jian's heart became more and more uneasy.

[Xu Chang went to the city guard mansion here, and he would inevitably meet Chu Ping and Guo Sheng, but ...... Compared to Xu Chang, is the primary purpose to recapture the city gate? ――That's fine, in this way, Xu Chang can reduce the obstacles a little bit by going to save the withered sheep handsome, but the problem is, I can't bear it here......]

Seeing Chu Ping and Guo Sheng open a bloody path towards him, Wang Jian was shocked and anxious.

In all fairness, the number of soldiers in his Niuzhu army nearby was also quite large, almost equal to the number of soldiers under the command of Chu Ping and Guo Sheng. The problem is the generals who lead the troops, the generals who can take charge on their own. After all, he, Wang Jian, didn't have the slightest confidence that he could resist those two.

Just when Wang Jian was secretly anxious, Chu Ping, the general of the Jinling Taiping Army, had already killed in front of him, and the spear in his hand poked at Wang Jianmian without saying a word.

"Qiang!"

Wang Jianzi would not sit still, and raised the knife to swing the tip of Chu Ping's spear, but the force from the gun. But his right hand was slightly numb, and he couldn't make a counterattack in time.

[Damn ......]

Wang Jian frowned, he really didn't expect that Chu Ping's arm strength was so much higher than him.

"Hmph, Weimo martial arts dare to shout in front of Chu!" Seeing that Wang Jian's martial arts were far inferior to his own, Chu Ping made up his mind, and even attacked again and again, forcing Wang Jian to retreat again and again, almost retreating to the root of the wall.

"Bang!"

Wang Jian's back hit the wall behind him. He subconsciously glanced back, but at this moment, he saw that Chu Ping saw the opportunity and shot down the sword in Wang Jian's hand.

[Oops!] ]

Wang Jian secretly screamed that something was wrong, he subconsciously raised his head, and when he entered his eyes, the tip of a spear shone with a cold glow and pierced his chest.

"Aha, got it!" Chu Ping laughed. And in the next second, the smile on his face suddenly froze. He lowered his head and looked in disbelief at the two-inch blade in his chest that pierced his chest from behind.

[Huh?] ]

Wang Jian looked at Chu Ping in astonishment, and only then did he notice that one of his soldiers had come behind Chu Ping at some point, and a sword pierced the latter's body.

"You ......" Chu Ping also turned his head in disbelief, staring at the Niu Zhu sergeant who had attacked him and succeeded, he really couldn't imagine it. How could an ordinary Niu Zhu sergeant sneak up on him?

"Kill him!" Seeing that the soldier suddenly stopped moving, Wang Jian, who had escaped by luck, was shocked and anxious, and shouted urgently, "This person is Chu Ping, the general of the Jinling Army, kill him!" ”

That soldier was undoubtedly Mo Fei. Hearing this, he glanced at Wang Jian, and his indifferent eyes made Wang Jian slightly stunned.

While Wang Jian was stunned, Mo Fei pulled out the sharp sword that pierced Chu Ping's body, waved it casually, only to hear a snort, and cut Chu Ping's neck with a sword.

"Will ...... Checkmate?! ”

The surrounding Jinling sergeants were shocked when they saw this, and watched in disbelief as a seemingly ordinary Niu Zhu sergeant actually killed their martial arts general.

"Kill...... Kill this man and avenge the general! ”

I don't know who shouted, and dozens of Jinling soldiers frantically pounced on Mo Fei.

It's a pity that Mo Fei, whose martial arts are enough to compete with Fei Guo and Liao Li, and even surpass the two, can take these ordinary soldiers in his eyes. With a few swords, almost in the blink of an eye, he killed all the soldiers who killed him like a scribble, startling the nearby Jinling soldiers to retreat one after another.

[This guy...... Definitely not a soldier in my Niu Zhu army! - Wait, this person seems to have seen somewhere......]

Shocked by Mo Fei's incredible swordsmanship and sharp killing methods, Wang Jian was shocked in his heart, squinting his eyes and looking at Mo Fei.

Suddenly, his complexion changed suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Mo Fei?!" ”

It's no wonder that Wang Jian can recognize Mo Fei, after all, when Wang Jian followed the withered sheep to meet Xie An a while ago, he had a relationship with Mo Fei in a small boat in the river, and he was still shocked by Mo Fei's sharp eyes and powerful spirit at that time.

"Huh!"

A sharp blade held Wang Jian's neck, and the owner of the sword looked at Wang Jian with his indifferent eyes, and the indifferent eyes that did not look like a living person made Wang Jian tremble and dare not move.

"Yes...... There is something to say......" Wang Jian said repeatedly.

He didn't resist, after all, he and the others had already made up their minds, and after rescuing the withered sheep, they would lead the crowd to join the Zhou army, if they were killed by Mo Fei, who was subordinate to the Zhou army, wouldn't it be wronged?

Suddenly, Wang Jian caught a glimpse of Guo Sheng, another general of the Jinling Army, sneaking up on Mo Fei, and was shocked, and reminded urgently, "Be careful ...... yourself"

As soon as he said three words, his voice stopped abruptly, and he was shocked to see that Mo Fei seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and he slashed the knife that Guo Sheng slashed at him from behind, and then without looking, another short sword slipped from the cuff of his left hand and swung it backhand, and the blade once again cut the neck of a Jinling army general.

From beginning to end, Mo Fei not only did not move the sword around Wang Jian's neck, he did not even move his feet.

[This is fundamentally ...... Not at the same level ......]

Seeing that Mo Fei had killed Chu Ping and Guo Sheng almost effortlessly, Wang Jian smiled bitterly in his heart, after all, this meant that if Mo Fei wanted to kill him, even if he only used one finger to crush him to death.

However, to Wang Jian's surprise, Mo Fei slowly put down the sword in his right hand, and said lightly to him who was in doubt, "I heard what you just said to Xu Chang, so I won't kill you......"

Wang Jian was stunned, and then let out a long breath. After all, Mo Fei seemed to have sensed their intention to defect to Zhou Jun, but it saved him from having to explain it without words.

But......

"Since Mo Duwei knows about this, why did he ...... it" Wang Jian touched his neck with palpitations, although Mo Fei didn't hurt him in the slightest, but the feeling was not very good.

Glancing at Wang Jian, Mo Fei put away the sword in his hand and said coldly, "You are the only ...... who drew a sword from me but is still alive."

Wang Jian smiled bitterly when he heard this, and he realized that Mo Fei was scaring and retaliating against him, retaliating that he had drawn his sword against Mo Fei in the river boat in the waters of the Hengjiang River a while ago.

“…… Don't give me a chance to kill you! Glancing at Wang Jian, Mo Fei threatened in a low voice.

Of course, Wang Jian knew what Mo Fei meant by this, and when he heard this, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Captain Modu, I and everyone have made an agreement in private, and after rescuing the withered sheep commander, we will join your army...... The problem is that I am afraid that our army will be unable to resist the offensive of the Jinling army......"

"Then open the city gates......" Mo Fei said slowly, "In fact, not far from the city, there is a vanguard of our army who came with me this time, so that we can take care of each other, although the number is not large, but the general who leads the army is definitely not anyone in this Jinling City!" ”

"Really? - I don't know who the general is? ”

"Liao Li!"

"Liao Li? ――It doesn't seem to be very famous......" Wang Jian's eyes showed a little doubt, no wonder, after all, he had never fought with Liao Li. Only Liao Li, who has fought with Liao Li, will understand what a brave general the latter is.

Glancing at Wang Jian, Mo Fei snorted coldly.

"When General Liao Li beheaded Wei Hu today, you will recognize it!"

"Huh?"

"Hasn't Wei Hu been found yet?"

"This ...... Well, the last general will send someone to find out the news......"

"Excuse me! -- You have the Jinling people to investigate, and you are here, when General Liao Li and the vanguard army arrive, open the city gate and let him in! ”

"Yes......"

At the same time, the Wei Hu in Mo Fei's mouth, who had been regarded by Liao Li as having to be killed, had actually reached the point where he had run out of oil and dried up, and he could barely see Wei Hu in the distance, slaughtering all the people who stood in his way, whether it was the Niu Zhu army or the Jinling soldiers, behind him, there were blood marks hundreds of zhang away......

[Ah Yang...... Ah Yang ...... I'm coming......]

Looking at the city guard mansion, which was already like a sea of fire, Wei Hu crashed into it without hesitation. (To be continued......)
