Chapter 197: Zhang Han rises up
It's night.
On the wall of the eastern city, Zhang Han didn't dare to take it lightly for a moment, and came out to inspect after a while.
The situation of the thief army is unknown, and the general leads the army to leave the city to fight alone, and his task is very heavy, first, to take into account when the disappeared 70,000 thief army will attack, and second, to wait for His Majesty's will to arrest and do a good job.
As far as we can observe today, these meticulous works are moving more frequently at the four gates, and their numbers are getting bigger and their behavior is more strange, but the guards are not paying attention.
This is suspicious.
He became nervous, and had a hunch that something was going to happen tonight.
At this moment, a guard hurriedly walked over, full of solemnity, and he immediately met him.
"How? Does Your Majesty Have a Will? ”
The guard showed a bitter look, and shook his head helplessly: "No, the guard who went to see off Song Shu was stabbed to death by His Majesty." ”
"What?" Zhang Han was shocked, "What's the matter?" ”
It's very wrong for such a thing to happen in such a situation.
"I heard from the people in the palace that Your Majesty thinks that General Li's leading the army out of the city is treason, and the general is acting in the name of General Li, and you believe that this is the truth, and you have no will."
"But ......" said this, and the guard stopped talking.
Zhang Han's face changed when he heard this, and he punched the city wall fiercely.
"Treason? Which bastard thinks so, the general took risks in order to solve the artillery collar, and actually said that it was treason, and they were blind? ”
I can't hold back my emotions.
The guards were anxious when they heard this, "General, be cautious, be cautious!" ”
"Be cautious! The country is in danger, but the wicked people are doing it, telling me how to be cautious! Zhang Han's voice became louder and louder, and he was emotionally incontinent, so startled that the guards shook their hands again and again.
Thinking of the guard's words, he stopped talking, and asked, "But what, tell me quickly." ”
The guards looked around and lowered their voices, "But I heard from the people in the palace that Your Majesty wants to capture General Li." ”
"Are they crazy?" Zhang Han did not hide his words, and threw another fist at the city wall, and his anger could no longer be suppressed, "I want to face the saint, I want to question it face to face." ”
He is an impatient, how can he endure such an absurd thing?
Push the guards and leave angrily.
The guards were in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped in front of Zhang Han, and said hurriedly: "General, don't, don't!" ”
"Your Majesty is furious, the general's departure will only make things worse, and the general cannot leave at the moment of the great enemy, otherwise the city will be broken and the country will die."
Zhang Han stood still and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
The guard is right, the general is gone at this moment, and he is the only one who can shoulder the responsibility of guarding, if he makes any more mistakes, Xianyang will be broken, and then Daqin will be devastated.
It doesn't matter if he's dead, but if the city is broken, he'll be a sinner for the ages.
"What then?"
Zhang Han ran out of ideas.
The thief army may emerge from all directions at any time, and the thief army may attack the city gate at any time, and if he doesn't do it at this moment, even if he is there, the city will still not be able to defend it.
"Otherwise, we will act without permission and arrest all the people involved." The guards were calm and came up with ideas.
Zhang Han glanced at the guards fixedly, and clenched his fists fiercely, "It's numb, let it go, just do it, I'll see if the guards will maintain these fine works." ”
"Gather a thousand troops at once and take them down."
Zhang Han led the guards away.
What Zhang Han didn't know was that when he left, a person flashed out of a corner, this person was wearing the costume of a city defense soldier, but he had a sinister face.
Soon, he also quietly left.
......
In Zhangtai Palace, the Taiwei sat still, looking nervous, as if he was worried about the war, and suddenly, he stood up and bowed his hand to Yingzheng.
"Your Majesty, the ministers of the city guard are really not at ease, and they are willing to personally set up the city head to supervise the war."
As a lieutenant, in charge of military affairs, he can supervise the war.
Ying Zheng and Feng Qujian glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and waved their hands, "Yes!" Be sure to hold the walls. ”
"No!" The lieutenant gave up his hand and left quickly.
After the back of the Taiwei disappeared, Ying Zheng and Feng Quji's faces became solemn.
Feng Qujian quietly walked over and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what should I do next?" ”
"Get the Guards into action immediately."
"No!" Feng Qujian received his order and quietly walked in the other direction.
After everything calmed down, Yingzheng's violent eyes eased down, and he let out a sigh one after another, "Li Zhao, Li Zhao, you can't blame me, I am also forced to do so, if I don't do this, even if Xianyang City carries the present, it can't bear it in the future, and the henchmen of the thief army must be cleared." ”
"Of course! After this is over, I will personally make amends for you. ”
As the king of a country, it is really rare to be able to say this.
......
Outside the city.
A few dark shadows stalked like nightingales in the night, they were fast, their eyes glowing with nocturnal light, and they were swimming around.
In a dense forest, a man who could not see his clothes was undressing and drinking from a pot of water, and a horse was standing aside, perhaps tired, panting and blowing his nose with his head down.
At that moment, he felt the figure shake and screamed.
"Who?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a long sword pierced his body and fell to the ground with a whimper.
The black shadow departed, leaving only the horse to jump in the night.
Such a scene has happened in many places, a horse was abandoned in the wilderness, if Zhang Han was here, he would definitely be able to recognize these horses, they were the horses of the scouts in the army, but unfortunately, the horses were there, but the scouts were already exhausted.
Dozens of zhang away in front of the west gate and south gate of Xianyang, a column of people and horses quietly appeared, and the horses were specially lassoed with horse sleeves to prevent them from neighing.
I can't really see how many people there are in the dark night, but judging from the heavy shadows in the faint light, it is dense.
"General, get ready in place, just wait for your order."
In the shadows, a man dressed in forged silk, but unable to hide the atmosphere of a peasant, looked at the city gate fixedly, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hmmm! When the gates were opened, they listened to my orders, the cavalry opened the way, and the archers were ready to go. ”
"After entering the city, there is no piece of armor left, you can understand."
"Understood!"
The same scene also happened at the south gate, and the leader was Jia Xiong, who was staring at the city gate tightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and whispered: "Xianyang, I, Jia Xiong, are back again, Yingzheng, and it will be your death soon." ”
......
The four gates are tall and majestic, and they are solid and solid, and the gates are made of iron, which are extremely thick, and if they are not sharp weapons, they cannot be defeated at all.
At this moment, the defenders are standing tall, their eyes are full of sight, and they are extremely vigilant.
Compared with usual, the defenders are twice as large, and the Ge in his hand is even more clearly held in his hand, ready to meet the situation at any time.
At the time of the crisis, a curfew was imposed at night, and there was no one on the street, only the shadows of the trees swayed under the faint light, but the desertion could not be broken.
Suddenly, a few people came crookedly, and under the lamplight, the shadows stretched long, long.
On closer inspection, the men were drunk and blushing to their necks, stumbling towards the defenders.
"Someone, stop."
When the defenders saw this, they hurriedly shouted.
"Master Jun, it's small, forgot, I'll give you a lot of half a tael during the day?" One of them was probably drunk, and he spoke without concealment.
When the defenders heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to support him and made a silent motion.
"Huh! The villain understands, understands. ”
The defender straightened up and continued to shout: "At the time of the curfew, please leave as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." While saying this, he deliberately pushed the man and told him to leave quickly.
But the man did not leave, but came forward with the strength of wine, and what the defenders did not know was that this man was holding a short sword in his hand, which was unmatchedly sharp.
"Master Jun, I'll send you a ...... for you Death is coming. ”
The word 'death' came out, and the man suddenly became fierce, and the short sword stabbed into the defender's abdomen.
Yikes!
The sword entered the body, and the defenders reacted, but only frightened eyes and wordless words.
"Enemy ...... Raid ......"
"What?" The defenders reacted, frightened, and rushed forward with the ges in their hands, killing several people.
However, the next moment, there was a shaking in the darkness, and more than 20 black-clothed people came out, and their body skills were quite good, and they came to the defenders in a few retreats, broke their swords into their bodies, and screamed miserably, but they were quickly covered by the black-clothed people.
However, there were still defenders who were not attacked, and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack......
"Die!" The man in black moved quickly, and with a throw of his short sword, he hit the throat, killing the defenders instantly.
"Open the gates!"
A man in black moved quickly and rushed towards the city gate.
However, the voice had already been heard, and at this moment, a large number of city defense troops suddenly poured out from three sides, grabbing long swords in their hands, and their eyes were like eagles, rushing towards them.
"Stop them quickly, and don't let them open the gates." The caller was none other than Zhang Han, and as soon as he heard the 'enemy attack', he immediately led the army.
The first one rushed up, swung his long sword, and slashed at a man in black, who was able to figure it out and hurriedly retreated, but missed the opportunity to open the city gate.
At this time, several more black-clothed people came to besiege Zhang Han together, but when they heard a low shout of 'coming', they immediately stopped their movements, flashed to the side, and their attitude became respectful.
Zhang Han didn't know why they were like this, but he didn't think much about it. The man in black stopped moving, and when he did it, he raised his sword and stabbed one of them in the moment.
But, at this moment, an angry voice came from the avenue.
"Zhang Han rebelled, and he was captured immediately."
Zhang Han was startled, and followed the prestige, even if the light was weak, he could see the person clearly, this person was Lang Zhongling, leading hundreds of guards behind him, raising his bow and arrows, aiming here.
"Hurry up and give up your weapons, otherwise you will be killed."
Lang Zhongling rode on a tall horse and drank the soldiers who were fighting with the man in black.
The soldiers looked at each other and looked at Zhang Han.
Zhang Han secretly said that it was not good, but tried his best to keep himself calm.
glanced around at the man in black, who was still respectful, and knew that he had been tricked.
This is a serial plan, but he bumped into it without thinking, and he really jumped into the Yellow River at the moment and couldn't wash it away.
Yes, this is exactly Lang Zhongling's serial plan.
The man in black killed the defenders first, if Zhang Han didn't show up, they would succeed, open the city gate to let the thieves in, if Zhang Han came out to stop it, Lang Zhongling would appear in time and be punished for the crime of rebellion.
And why did the man in black become respectful for a moment after Lang Zhongling appeared, maybe he wanted to blame Zhang Han.
"Lang Zhongling, what do you mean? If a villain wants to open the city gate and lead the enemy, I will kill him, how can I rebel? Zhang Han retorted that he couldn't be wronged for no reason.
"And quibble, the defenders have been killed by you, what else is there to say." Lang Zhongling said with a wicked smile, and with a wave of his big hand, the archers immediately surrounded Zhang Han and the others.
"Nonsense, the defenders were killed by the men in black, and you waited to stop them." A soldier was not angry and spoke.
Lang Zhongling glared at the soldier fiercely, and stabbed the soldier to the ground.
"When will a soldier speak?"
Zhang Han was furious, his sword shook, and he was bullied and killed.
At this moment, there was a whooshing sound around the sudden body, and it was a dozen or so arrows.
He quickly parried and quickly retreated.
"Jie Ji, Zhang Han, don't do any more useless struggles, my five hundred guards see that you want to open the city gate to attract the enemy, just capture it!"
Zhang Han's eyes stared at Lang Zhongling, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly. At this moment, it was useless for him to say anything, Lang Zhongling intended to blame him, and he couldn't tell it with thousands of mouths.
"I want to see Your Majesty."
"See Your Majesty? Do you still want to assassinate Your Majesty, with me, don't dream, quickly put down your weapon and tie your hands and capture, otherwise you will be killed by random arrows. ”
Zhang Han is a former general, Lang Zhongling has the right to arrest, but he has no right to deal with his life and death, but there is one person who is different, that is, Tai Lieutenant.
The captain was ordered to supervise the battle, and in the face of the great enemy, the rebels could be cut first and then played.
Zhang Han's face changed and changed, forcing himself to calm down.
Lang Zhongling clearly wanted to take him down, he couldn't be taken, if he was taken, the city gate would definitely be opened by him, and then the thieves would pour in, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
But if you drink the order, you will surely attract the bows and arrows of the guards, and they will surely die.
However, the current situation does not allow him to think too much, even if he dies, he must attract soldiers on the city wall to prevent Lang Zhongling from opening the city gate.
"The escort obeys the order...... "He has two hundred men, of which more than a dozen are his escorts," "take my token and mobilize a large army to kill Lang Zhong." ”
"Hurry up, I'll be your queen for you."
"Other, quickly protect the escort team and leave."
At this moment, Zhang Han moved, stretched out his hand and threw out the token, the long sword blocked in front of him, and led the soldiers to retreat.
One of the guards took the token, but was shocked and shouted: "General, no, if you want to go, you have to go, our palace." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, no matter what, you must guard the city gate, and you must not let Lang Zhongling succeed." Zhang Han shouted, killed a man in black who was still standing respectfully on the side with a sword, and quickly carried his body to block the front and move back.
"Look for death!" Lang Zhongling was angry when he saw it, and his face turned gloomy, "Release the arrow!" ”
But, just then, a voice came.
"Wait!"
