Chapter 190: Rescue is coming
This fire solved the crisis of the siege, but it also caused Chang Yuan and themselves great trouble.
The fire is getting more and more fierce, and even the city gate that directly carries them is caught in the sea of fire, and it can be expected that when the fire is extinguished, their city gate will be directly exposed to the eyes of the other party!
This is also the reason why Chang Yuan thought about it for so long before finally deciding to set it on fire.
But he had to do it, if he didn't set the fire, they wouldn't be able to hold it now, and if he set it on fire, there would be a little respite.
At present, the fire is burning violently, although the city gate has been destroyed, but the enemy army does not dare to rush into the gate, the fire with oil is very powerful, rushing into the fire will definitely die!
This fire made Chen Wenlong stop the attack, and also made Chang Yuan and them breathe.
"General Chen, Chang Yuan is looking for his own ideas! Wait until the fire is extinguished! Let's go straight in! ”
"Being able to hold on to my men for so many days, Chang Yuan is really talented."
……
At night, the fire tended to get smaller, and Chang Yuan could only let people continue to pour oil on it, always maintaining a certain fire.
Day 6.
"Everyone hold on for one more day, and there will be reinforcements tomorrow!"
There were people in the city shouting constantly.
There was fear and anxiety in everyone's hearts, but there was also a glimmer of anticipation.
Chen Wenlong knew that Chang Yuan was now like a turtle in the middle of the Weng, and he continued to send soldiers to harass them, and on the other hand, he sent people to extinguish the fire with soil.
At this time, there were only a thousand soldiers left on the wall of the county town of Taixi.
Wang Hanting was wrapped in a white cloth on his chest, and he was still oozing blood.
But he still didn't go down, and he was still fighting bloodily.
He kept saying in his heart that as long as he survived today, it would be fine.
But the heavens seem to be so unkind to see them, and there is thunder.
Chen Wenlong suddenly laughed, "God bless me!" ”
The raindrops are falling and the rain is getting more and more!
The fire on the city walls slowly became smaller!
Chang Yuan's face turned pale, letting the rain fall on his face, washing the blood on a layer of armor.
Could it be that I, Chang Yuan, am going to die here today?
Suddenly feeling someone holding his hand, Chang Yuan turned around and found that it was his wife, Fu Linjun, who was also wearing armor.
She smiled at Chang Yuan slightly: "I have already arranged it, child, once the city is broken, someone will take him away to find General Ma, and then let me accompany my husband." ”
Chang Yuan also smiled slightly, "There is a woman like this, Yuan, fortunately." ”
The rain is getting heavier,
The fire on the city wall was extinguished......
"Rush! Kill it! ”
The imperial army has launched a charge!
Rushed down the crumbling walls into the city!
Wang Hanting, who was beside Chang Yuan, struggled to resist and protect their husband and wife.
The speed of the rain in the city can't even keep up with the speed of the blood flowing.
"Capture Chang Yuan alive!"
"Protect the General!"
"Big brother!"
The field was very chaotic, and Chang Yuan and Fu Linjun were surrounded by a group of soldiers.
He didn't think about running, he knew that Chen Wenlong's target was him, if he was there, maybe his son would be able to escape, if there was no trace of him, Chen Wenlong would definitely rummage through it, and no one would be able to run away at that time.
"Chang Yuan, don't resist anymore, don't fight the trapped beasts anymore!"
Chang Yuan stood upright with a horizontal sword, "General Chen, the trapped beast is still fighting!" My life is up to me! ”
General Chen's face couldn't bear it, and General Hao, who was beside him, immediately sent people over to attack them.
……
"Not good! Hurry up! Protect the General! ”
Critical moment!
Ma Honglin arrived with a group of people!
Seeing that the city gate was broken, he rushed in with his soldiers to rescue.
Outside the city, the hooves of the kicking and trampling horses rang out, followed by the sound of fighting.
Hearing that familiar voice, Wang Hanting, who was protecting Chang Yuan's side and was a little exhausted, supported his body with the handle of the knife, smiled.
whispered, "Damn, it's finally here." ”
Then he barely stood up again, "Reinforcements are coming!" Brothers, kill! ”
Hearing the sound of reinforcements outside, the morale of the soldiers in the city was suddenly boosted!
The original desperate resistance has turned into a desperate counter-killing!
The soldiers of the imperial court were in chaos, and Chen Wenlong kept maintaining order, "No chaos!" ”
"General Chen is not good, there is a large group of people outside! It is estimated that there are 10,000 horses! We have to get out quickly, or we're going to be dumplings! ”
At this time, the city gate was broken, and even if they had taken it, they could not defend it.
Chen Wenlong was a little unwilling, looking at Chang Yuan, who was becoming more and more frustrated, his subordinates who had no intention of fighting, "Withdraw!" ”
The imperial soldiers and horses quickly withdrew.
But they divided into two groups, one group withdrew towards the river, and the other group headed towards Jiuwan Mountain.
Chang Yuan wanted to ask Ma Honglin why he arrived a day earlier, but looking at Ning Changrong who walked out from behind Ma Honglin, everything had an answer.
It was Ning Changrong and Ning Daniu who came with Ma Honglin.
Ning Changrong had been observing the situation below, he thought that the people in the city were all besieged, and it was not convenient to communicate in ancient times, even if it was for Chang Yuan, it was actually for themselves.
In the end, I decided to go to Taizhou Mansion and told me about the things here, which was why Ma Honglin arrived in advance to attack the imperial army.
"Fortunately, I caught up, this time thanks to the Evergreen brothers and the big bull brothers." Ma Honglin was in a cold sweat behind him, and it was hard to imagine what would happen if they waited until the seventh day of the agreement to come back?
He told Ning Changrong about going to him, and then marched with the soldiers in a hurry, rushing day and night, and then he barely rushed over, and it was almost too late.
Ning Changrong was not a soldier after all, he kept hurrying day and night, and his face was already pale at this time, and the gap between his legs had already been worn out.
Neither of them could ride horses, and they were carried by other soldiers in the army.
It was ten minutes late.
"Chen Wenlong, have they all withdrawn?" Chang Yuan asked.
Ma Honglin knows the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing, and the most important thing is to protect Chang Yuan.
"Two thousand people were captured, and the rest ran away, half of them fled by boat along the river, and half went up to the mountains."
Fu Linjun was holding her son, and they secretly escaped from outside the city gate.
But on the way, he met Ma Honglin and his party, and in order to hurry up, Ma Honglin left some men and asked them to escort the general's son back, and they continued to speed up the rescue.
Now they are all back in the city.
Chang Yuan was looking at his son, but when he heard that half of the people had run to the mountain, he immediately stood up!
"Not good! Hurry up and catch up! I'm afraid they're going to find Brother Ning and his gang! ”
Ning Changrong was still enduring the burning pain in his legs, and when he heard this, he suddenly screamed and immediately stood up: "General Chang, what does this mean?!" "What are those court soldiers looking for them?
"Brother Ning, I'm afraid I don't know yet, your transaction with us has been known by the imperial court, and now you have been beaten into the ranks of our rebels, and you are still my people."
"I interrogated from the inner streets of the city, Chen Wenlong originally planned to attack Taixi County and then clean you up, but now that they have failed to attack the city, they must go back to you to deal with you!"
Hearing this, Ning Changrong and Ning Daniu couldn't sit still, their faces kept flashing, nervous and frightened.
The two of them ran out without looking back.
But it was soon stopped.
"Brother Evergreen, wait a minute!" Ma Honglin stopped the two of them and said.
"Can you beat them by running up now? That's thousands. ”
Ning Changrong immediately walked up to Chang Yuan, his face full of pleading anxiety, "I implore General Chang to be my family!" ”
Chang Yuan immediately nodded, "That's what I thought, Brother Ning, don't worry, I'll let Hong Lin wait for you to go with you." ”
Later, Ma Honglin also ordered the people and horses, and took Ning Changrong and Ning Daniu to run all the way towards Taoyuan Village.
