Chapter 44: The Siege

Looking at Chi Xiang who was walking towards the Chu River step by step, Yan Chen, who was standing on the side, smiled gloatingly, ready to see if the Chu River was ready to push the boat down the river and do private business.

Jiang Wuxian, on the other hand, looked at Chu He sourly, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

At this moment, the door of the Spring Pond Pavilion was pushed open, and a huge figure rushed in.

This is also an iron-hearted guard, but he is extremely tall, Chu He estimates that his height is at least more than two meters, and his shoulders are also extremely wide, and he is a little iron-armored giant.

And Chu He noticed that his armor didn't seem to be quite the same as theirs.

The armor, joints and other parts of the Iron Heart Guard are made of cotton cloth, and only the head, chest, thighs and other vital parts are covered with iron armor.

But this giant is covered in armor, and it is simply a moving steel castle.

"Yo, isn't this my Grand Commander? How? Are you also interested in Aka? Then I don't think your subordinates are your opponents. After speaking, King Xiao Ming also winked at Chu River.

It turned out that this was the Great Commander of the Iron Heart Guard, and he was really full of momentum, Chu He thought so in his heart.

The Grand Commander walked to the bed and knelt on one knee, and Chu He felt as if the ground was trembling.

"Your Highness, two groups of cadres have appeared out of nowhere outside the city, and they have ...... The siege has begun. ”

"What did you say?" King Xiao Ming stood up abruptly.

And on the bed behind him, the swordsmen also stood up one by one with lightning speed, and began to search for their clothes and swords.

The swordsman Chixiang also quickly put on his own set of revealing black leather armor.

Chu He let out a sigh, and he didn't know whether he was glad that the two old camps arrived in time, or if he was somewhat regretful in his heart.

Zhou Yan, the king of Xiao Ming, who was still in high spirits, suddenly turned pale and began to sweat profusely, "How did the Qianjun come back?" Are they here to kill me? ”

The two sword attendants behind him hurriedly took King Xiao Ming's regular clothes, served him to change them, and comforted: "Don't worry, son, what kind of combat power does the cadre army have, haven't we all seen it before?" There is no need to be afraid at all, Mr. Chang must have a way. ”

When Xiao Mingwang, who looked flustered, heard this, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw at once, "Yes, yes, what about Chang Long?" Hurry up and get him! ”

"Mr. Chang should be on the second floor, I'll go and invite him."

"Go, go, go!"

One of the female swordsmen walked briskly towards the second floor.

At this time, on the first floor of the Spring Pool Pavilion, the girls had begun to panic, and the girls climbed out of the soup pool, but they didn't know where to go, so they could only look at King Xiao Ming helplessly.

But at this time, King Xiao Ming seemed to be even more overwhelmed, shouting: "Where is Chang Long? Why hasn't it come down yet? ”

Taking advantage of this chaos, Chu He had quietly retreated to Yan Chen and Jiang Wuxian's side.

Jiang Wuxian said proudly in a low voice: "How is it?" I said they had to attack the city at this time, right? ”

Yan Chen pursed his lips and said nothing.

Chu He opened his mouth and asked, "Who is this Chang Long?" ”

"The military advisor of King Xiao Ming's guards, but I have seen his case file, he is a straw bag, and he has won Zhou Yan's trust by slapping his beard. The plan to sneak attack on Qushui County is estimated to have come up with him, and I really want to thank him in person. I look at King Xiao Ming's cowardice, if he hadn't come up with an idea, he would definitely not have stepped into my trap. ”

As he spoke, a short, stocky middle-aged man in disheveled clothes trotted down from the second floor with the sword attendant, putting clothes on himself as he ran, obviously he was not idle just now.

"Master, don't panic, there is always a lot of work, nothing happens." This guard military advisor with a meaty face and two goatees was really extraordinary as soon as he opened his mouth.

This room full of people is called His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming, and there are people called Gongzi, but this one with a shy face is the first one.

Seeing that Chang Long was finally here, Zhou Yan was resentful and complained: "I'll just say don't come to fight any county, right?" Wouldn't it be nice for us to go home after two laps around the border? It's okay now, you've been caught, right? ”

Chang Long smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I'll understand the situation first." ”

After speaking, Chang Long turned his gaze to the great commander and asked, "Old Han, where is the Qianjun attacking the city?" ”

"Mr. Chang, there are enemies on all sides, and they are all besieging the city."

"What? All siege cities? This is...... Siege? ”

Xiao Mingwang, who was standing in the back, was not calm again, "What did you say?" Siege? What do they mean? Are you afraid that I will run away? ”

Chang Long smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid yes, the first thing the enemy did when they touched it was to start a siege, which means that they must have come prepared, and they are coming for you, master." ”

Xiao Mingwang's face deteriorated, "That'...... So what to do? ”

Chang Long bent down and said flatteringly: "Master, have you forgotten why we chose this Spring Pool Pavilion as a temporary residence?" ”

Xiao Ming Wang slapped his thigh suddenly, "That's right! Tunnel! This spring pool hall has an authentic tunnel, which leads directly to the outside of the city! ”

When the three of Chu He heard this, they immediately glanced at each other.

Jiang Wuxian covered his mouth and whispered: "I said that at that time, why did they attack the canal so quickly, and they appeared in the city all of a sudden, it turned out that there was a tunnel." This Linchang Feng is really interesting, and he actually dug a tunnel under this Spring Pool Pavilion! ”

"So what now?"

"Wait and see what happens, but don't let them escape through the tunnels, or they will fall short."

At this time, King Xiao Ming grabbed the military advisor he had always relied on, "Chang Long, what are you waiting for?" Let's run through the tunnels now! ”

"Master, not now."

"Why not?"

"The tunnel exit is located not far from the root of the city wall, and people are attacking the city, let's go out of the tunnel now, won't we directly bump into people's arms?"

"That's that...... So what to do? ”

"Master, don't be impatient, and when those people come into the city, won't we be able to go out?" When the time comes, they can only pounce on it! ”

"Okay, it's all up to you...... As long as I can go back safe and sound, I will reward you...... Ten women, no, twenty. Zhou Yan sat back on the bed, but he didn't have the slightest bit of the spirit just now.

Hearing the word woman, Chang Long's eyes lit up, and he continued: "Master, in fact, we may not lose, the cadres and the army are all in Hegudao, and we will fight with Lord Mingwang, it stands to reason that there should not be an army here, it is estimated that it is the same as the previous Xinmu battalion, they are all hairy boys who don't know the height of the sky." ”

Chang Long swallowed his saliva and continued to talk eloquently, "They must have heard the news of you being here somewhere, and they dared to come to besiege the city because they were eager to do so." We just need to hold on and wait for reinforcements, survive three days, and when the reinforcements arrive, we will be able to completely annihilate the enemy army. At that time, the prestige of your master, the lieutenant general of our Eastern Frontier Army, will be even more prosperous! ”

Chang Long's words made King Xiao Ming's mood a lot better.

"Yes, fight! Let's hold on to this city, and when the reinforcements arrive, we will kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind! Zhou Yan said angrily.

At this time, a herald rushed in from outside the building, ran in with mud, and immediately knelt on the ground when he saw King Xiao Ming.

Chang Long asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Enlightenment...... Lord Qiqi, we have seen the banner of the siege army. ”

"Oh? Which recruit battalion is it for the cadre army? ”

"The banner is Jinjia and Kuishan."

"Golden armor? This is their new formation...... What did you say? The Golden Armor Camp and the Kuishan Battalion? ”

"Yes."

"How did the old Eighth Battalion get here!"
