Chapter 131: Divine Courage
Looking at the pursuers behind him approaching little by little, Zhang Chong shook the horn bow in his hand, sweating.
Behind him, Cai did roar:
"Qu, let's fight with them."
At this time, he was holding an iron pestle on the ground, and he was panting there. Originally, the bones he used had already been broken, and his iron clad was Guo Zu's, Guo Zu was lame, and he couldn't use this kind of big blade.
Cai did shout, and Guo Zu and the two Dongpingling believers also shouted.
Zhang Chong, who was standing at the front, heard their unwillingness, who would have thought that the fellow Taoists, who were allies, would not only sit on the wall and watch, but also cut off their back roads, and Zhang Dog Donkey, who originally thought he was a traitor, sacrificed his life for righteousness.
What kind of world is this hot girl!
Who is the good guy? Who's the bad guy?
He Zhang Chong is also unwilling, who is willing to put this on him, but it is useless to think more. He calmly looked around, trying to see if there was any suitable place to use as a base to defend against it temporarily.
But there is no high point in this place near the east gate, and as far as the eye can see, there are only enemy soldiers who are pressed by the black pressure in front of them.
That's it, everything is the cause of my Zhang Chong, and everything has today's effect.
Zhang Chong looked at the two Dongpingling believers behind him, and saw that they had bloody faces and resolute faces, biting their lips without saying a word, and at this moment they had a kind of courage to look at death as if they were at home.
Zhang Chong sighed with emotion and asked:
"You two are good men, it's a pity that you are going to die here with me Zhang Chong today. Don't know the names of the two yet? ”
One of them clenched his fists and returned to Zhang Chong:
"Zhang Qu, my name is Tian Jin, and his name is Shi Hui, they are all soldiers of the Taoist envoy. It is our honor that the two of us brothers can die with Zhang Qu. ”
The guy next to him, Shi Hui, kept nodding.
Seeing that these two people were straightforward, Zhang Chong laughed, and then pointed to the enemy soldiers pressed in front of him, and said solemnly:
"Okay, let's kill these dog thieves first, and then let's go on the road together."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hemp rope fell in front of them with a snap, and then they heard a whisper from the city:
"Is Zhang Qukui below? My name is Shan Ming, Wen Jun is in distress, and I came to save me. ”
That's right, this self-proclaimed name is Shan Ming, and it is the little kui of the Taiping Dao forces who joined Bandao when Xiao Dad returned to Licheng two years ago.
After this man was defeated by Liang Zhongning of Dongjun, he took refuge in his teacher Tang Zhou, but he was very unpopular. Not only did he make money, but even he was instructed by Yiqi in his daily life.
Shan Ming didn't want to stay here in Tang Zhou for a long time, he heard that Xu He of Le'an County was anxious and righteous, and he was a lover, so he wanted to take refuge.
But during this day, he overheard Tang Zhou's orders to the people below him to kill Zhang Chong.
Zhang Chong? Qu Kui of Taishan Fang?
Shan Ming has also been a little kui, which qu kui is more promising, he naturally has his own understanding. In terms of this Qingzhou Road, among these canals, he Shan Ming felt that Taishan Fang had the most development prospects.
First of all, that Zhang Chong is a disciple of the mantle of the general Zhang Liang, and this background is already sharp in the sect. Then the Taishan side can still fight, from the outflow of the past two years, this Taishan side can be said to be the strongest soldier in Qingzhou.
I didn't listen to those colleagues of Qi State before, and every time I mentioned that Taishan Fang had this and that dissatisfaction, only one was recognized, that is, Taishan Fang, which can really fight. Qi State Taiping Dao fought side by side with Taishan Fang, their words, Shan Mingxin.
In addition, it is its Kui Zhang Chong who is good at collecting and surrendering people. This is also a small news spread in their Qingzhou Taiping Road, it is said that Zhang Chong will accept a general every time he fights an enemy. A person with such a big heart should be able to accommodate his single song.
So when he heard that Tang Zhou was going to kill Zhang Chong, he had the idea of sending charcoal in the snow. But he has always been utilitarian and cowardly, even if he knew this information, he did not pass it on to Zhang Chong in advance, but wanted to help Zhang Chong when he was in distress, so that the harvest was big enough.
In the original arrangement, the sacrifice of the grandson was to let a few Taiping Dao lurking among the officials of the East Gate give Zhang Chong a rope to them, and then leave the city. But today, at dusk, Jinan Qukui Tang Zhou asked people to pass on their orders, so that they would not be on duty at night.
Tang Zhou, as the leader of Jinan Taiping Dao, naturally had to listen to his orders, so the city was withdrawn for a while.
From here, it can also be seen to what extent the penetration of Taiping Road into the original Jinan city defense has reached.
As soon as the doorman over there withdrew, Shan Ming sneaked upstairs by himself. He planned it, and as soon as Zhang Chong and the others came, he would put the rope on his side, and then talk to Zhang Qukui about how Tang Zhou was, how he was Shan Ming, otherwise, it couldn't show that he was righteous and righteous.
But Shan Ming's cowardice almost messed things up again. He never expected that Zhang Qukui and others were here, but there were still a large number of Dongpingling soldiers behind him. So when it came to the end, he didn't dare to let go down.
After that, he made a series of fierce mental struggles in the city, feeling rich and dangerous for a while, and feeling stable for thousands of years. Until Zhang Chong begged for death downstairs, Shan Ming heard it clearly, and at that moment he was really stunned and sweated profusely.
A hero like Zhang Chong shouldn't die like this.
was provoked by this, Shan Ming put the rope down.
People who are not really on the road to desperation cannot understand how strong the joy of dying at a dead end is. When the hemp rope fell from the sky, Rao is Zhang Chong couldn't help it, let alone others.
But they knew the severity, Guo Zu touched his injured leg, and said sadly:
"Qu Kui, Ah Qu, let's go. I'm gone, and I'm here to cover you. ”
Cai was really anxious, he and Guo Zu were deeply in love, how to see him die here, he was about to scold, but Zhang Chong stopped him.
Zhang Chong stuffed the rope into Cai Qu's hand and said:
"Ah Qo, you go up first, you have great strength, and when the time comes, pull Ah Zu up together."
Cai was in a hurry, the rope was like a hot hand, Cai did not grasp it, he panicked:
"Qu, what do you say? Azu and I are dead, and we have to protect you and kill you, so you must have to go first. ”
After speaking, he was desperate to stuff the rope to Zhang Chong.
Zhang Chong knew that if he didn't lie to Cai Qu, he wouldn't leave. So, he pretended:
"Ah Qo, this rope is strange, you go up to explore the way for us first. If that's fine, you pull the rope and we'll go up when the time comes. ”
Knowing that what Zhang Chong said was reasonable, Cai Qucai nodded, grabbed the rope and climbed up.
It's different from everyone who thinks it's hard to climb the city wall. In ancient times, the city walls were all trapezoidal, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. So Cai did step on the dirt pit and quickly climbed to the top of the city.
As soon as Cai Qu came up, he saw a weak man bending over there, ignoring him, and directly shaking the rope below.
Then he pulled hard against the city wall with his feet, and after a long time, it was Guo Zu who pulled up, and the rope was tied to him. At this moment, Guo Zu's face was full of tears, and there was a slap mark on his face.
Cai did see that it was Guo Zu, and hurriedly asked:
"Where's the ditch?"
Guo Zu cried:
"The canal refused to leave, I wanted to persuade me, and beat me, so I had to come up first."
Cai was so anxious that he stomped his feet, hurriedly dismantled the rope, and threw it down, at this moment he was standing at the head of the city, seeing that Qu Kui Zhang Chong was shooting at the thief who dared to rush forward, and the ones called Tian Jin and Shi Hui were trying to persuade each other on the side of the canal.
Cai did throw the rope to Zhang Chong's side, but in the end, Zhang Chong didn't know what he Tian Jin and Shi Hui said, and finally the two climbed the rope one after the other.
As soon as the two came up, they were about to say something, but Cai did not listen at all and threw the rope down again. This time, Cai did lie on his stomach at the head of the city and cried:
"Qu, don't be angry, let's go together."
Zhang Chong smiled below, grabbed the rope and was about to climb. But at this time, the soldiers of Dongpingling County finally hugged over under the urging of the military officials behind.
Looking at these trembling Dongpingling county guards, Zhang Chong smiled heroically, tied the rope around his waist, and then straddled the rope and bent the bow to shoot, and Cai Qu and several people on it pulled him together.
There was a county guard shouting below:
"He has a bow, and he can shoot many. Let's go up and hack him to death. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man was hit with an arrow in the neck.
A few people around were frightened, and immediately took a few steps back from this person.
There were also a few unbelievers, who rushed over with their necks and halberds, and before they could move two steps, they were hit by an arrow in the neck and died. For a while, no one dared to move, and they saw Zhang Chong slowly moving up.
Until he saw that Zhang Chong was still three or four steps away from the city tower, Xun Or dared to come over with a group of archers, and one of the county officials immediately said:
"Shoot with a rope."
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the county official was also hit by an arrow in the neck and died.
But in the end, these words reminded the archers who rushed to shoot arrows at Zhang Chong, but Zhang Chong waved the horn bow and blocked them, but in the end a few arrows still hit the hemp rope, and then the hemp rope was interrupted with a squeak.
The four Cai Qu who were pulling the rope upstairs were directly knocked to the ground. Lying on the ground, the four of them had only one thought in their hearts:
"It's over."
Just when Cai was about to rush down to avenge Zhang Chong in a madness, and also died with him, a black shadow Zeng Zeng ran up to the city gate.
Cai Qu and the four of them looked at it, wasn't it Zhang Chong? The four of them hugged Qu Kui in surprise, with tears in their eyes.
Cai Qu and the four of them didn't see how Zhang Chong came up, but the county guards under the city saw it clearly.
When the rope was a section, I saw Zhang Chong reflexively leaning on the earthen wall, and then before the county guard door reflected, the thief climbed up the city tower like an ape.
There are good eyes, and even see the finger pits left by this thief on the earthen wall. Is this human? You must know that although this city wall is made of earth, it is steamed out of three-fold soil, which is harder than wood and stone. How did this man do it?
Xun Or below also saw it clearly, he was really anxious this time, and he made a mortal enmity with someone like Zhang Chong. Will his father and son be able to sleep peacefully?
I thought that Zhang Chong was the same as Zhang Jiao, just a totem with ideas, but I never expected that this person would still have the ability of gods and ghosts, climbing the wall like walking on the ground, you must know that the place where his father and son live is not as high as this city wall.
So at this moment, Xun or saw that all the county guards were still standing stupidly, and he was in a hurry:
"If you don't open the city gate for me, how can such a thief let go?"
There was a person who had no eyesight to see and replied:
"Looking at the city gate in the middle of the night, I don't get in harmony."
Xun or Li ignored this person, waved his hand and let people pull it. In this way, the eight county guards opened the iron-clad wooden doors on both sides with a snort.
For a while, Dongping Mausoleum, the city gate was wide open.
