Peiping.

Qu Neng's face was very ugly.

He never thought that Zhu Gaochi would be so ruthless!

He saw with his own eyes that the secret guard had fled back to Beiping and passed the news on.

But Zhu Gaochi didn't have the slightest intention of sending troops to rescue, and kept sticking to the city gate and not leaving!

That's your Zhu Gaochi's own sister!

Are you so ruthless?

As time passed, Qu Neng's face became more and more gloomy.

Finally, he couldn't wait any longer.

Qu Neng knew very well that tonight was the last chance.

If you can't capture Beiping City again, it will be completely impossible!

So he immediately put on his armor and gave the order for the whole army to attack!

The officers and men of the Southern Army, who had already been ambushed at the major city gates of Beiping, also launched an attack immediately.

Qu Neng rode on the tall horse, his eyes full of solemnity.

"Pass my military order, break the city tonight, and never die!"

"Whoever goes to the head of the city first will be rewarded with a hundred gold!"

"The one who breaks Beiping City first will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"

"Siege!"

Stimulated by huge interests, the soldiers of the Southern Army also went completely crazy, and rushed to the gate of Beiping with a roar.

Whether it is a hundred gold or a thousand gold, it is enough for them to eat and drink in the second half of their lives!

The drums of war beat through the night.

The Yan army had already thought that Qu Neng would attack the city in anger, so he prepared in advance.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, looking at the dense soldiers of the Southern Army outside the city, his eyes were full of unforgettable monstrous killing intent.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Kill all the mincks!"

A bloody offensive and defensive battle has kicked off again.

In the city of Beiping, a private house.

Hearing the deafening sound of fighting and the sound of military drums, Zhang Erhu immediately got up from the bed with a scolding, still carrying a sharp knife in his hand.

Soon Li Daniu also walked out, and a dozen or so scoundrels gathered here.

Zhang Erhu didn't talk nonsense, and simply instructed: "Brothers, these streets are all villagers and elders, we have to guard them, and we can't let people take the opportunity to burn, kill and loot."

More than a dozen splashes nodded, and went on patrol in pairs.

In fact, Zhang Erhu and Li Daniu also went to the city of Beiping to help the Yan soldiers guard the city gate.

But that battle was too tragic, Li Daniu was not only hit by an arrow and almost died, but Zhang Erhu was also almost shot into a sieve by a stray arrow, so the two didn't dare to go again after the fight.

After all, people are afraid of death, and they have just escaped from the ghost gate, and no one wants to die again.

The two brothers looked at each other, and then both sighed.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Then there was a shout that made them stop in their tracks.

"I'm Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun!"

"Reinforcements are about to arrive, and the enemy has launched a final attack!"

"Xuanwumen and Fuchengmen are in danger of insufficient troops, Xu Miaoyun is here to beg the villagers and elders in Beiping to help my Yan army defend the city!"

"If there is a disability, a hundred times the pension, and the Yanwang Mansion will support you until you are old!"

"If there is a death in battle, a thousand times the bereavement, and the wife and children, Lao Xiaoyan, and the palace will do their best to support them!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Erhu and Li Daniu both looked at each other.

There was almost no need to say much about the tacit understanding, the two looked at each other and smiled, and both made a choice.

"I'm afraid of a ball!"

"People die and birds rise to the sky!"

"Yan Jun's sons have been fighting for so long, they can't be chilled!"

Zhang Erhu scolded and ran into the room, took out a package, and then trotted all the way to a secluded house and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Who's out there?"

"Widow Song, it's me!"

Hearing Zhang Erhu's voice, Widow Song opened the door.

This is a widow with a lot of charm, and next to her is a half-grown child with a tiger's head.

As soon as she saw Zhang Erhu, Widow Song's face was not very good-looking.

She is a widow herself, and her appearance is not bad, so she is often teased and harassed by some scoundrels.

Fortunately, after Zhang Erhu learned of this, he organized a group of scoundrels under his command to patrol the streets and beat away the group of people, so that he could live in peace.

However, Widow Song also understood Zhang Erhu's thoughts, and she was just thinking about herself, so she never gave him a good look.

Even if Zhang Erhu came to the house all day long to help with some manual work of carrying water and chopping firewood, Widow Song never let go.

Zhang Erhu is an out-and-out scoundrel, when he was young, he was idle, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, so that no one was willing to marry his daughter to him, and he was in his thirties in a flash, and he is still an old bachelor.

He can be regarded as living thoroughly, knowing that he has this virtue in his life, and there is no hope.

But he couldn't see anyone insulting other people's wives and daughters, and he himself was in love with the Song widow, so he had been helping the orphans and widows openly and secretly.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing Zhang Erhu carrying the burden, Widow Song subconsciously asked.

Zhang Erhu didn't talk nonsense, and stuffed the package to Widow Song.

"This is the money I have saved over the years, and I left it for you two mothers, remember not to tell anyone."

"Although there are only a few taels of silver, it is easy to be remembered, you orphans and widows can't keep it!"

Hearing this, Widow Song looked at him in a daze.

"You're going to defend the city?"

"Don't go!"

Defending the city now is equivalent to giving up your life!

Zhang Erhu smiled playfully: "What's wrong?" Do you care about me? ”

Widow Song's face turned red, and she kept silent with a black face.

Zhang Erhu touched the head of the child Xiaobao, and muttered with red eyes: "I don't want to go either, but someone has to go, those Yan Junerlang have protected us for so long, we can't make them chill!"

"Besides, once the enemy army breaks through the city, we, the common people, will not end much better."

"So this time I have to go, if not for anyone else, but for ourselves!"

As soon as Widow Song heard this, tears began to roll in her eyes.

She is not hard-hearted, Zhang Erhu has helped their orphans and widows for so long, but she has never asked for anything, and she will inevitably have a good impression of this lost man.

It's just that under the pressure of etiquette and customs, Widow Song has never made up her mind, and she has never given him a good face.

"Don't go!"

"Don't go!"

"I'm begging you, okay?"

Widow Song grabbed Zhang Erhu's hands and pleaded.

Zhang Erhu's tears fell instantly when he saw this, but he still pushed her hand away with a hard mouth.

"Women's families, what are you doing with the affairs of the old man?"

"Remember, if the city is broken, you two will go to Li Da Niu, if Li Da Niu is also dead, you will go to Liu Tiezhu, they are all my brothers who have died, and they will protect you two mothers!"

"Also, the wealth is not exposed, the silver has been collected, and the children should also keep an eye on it, don't be taken captive by others, you can't find it!"

After chattering for a while, Zhang Erhu didn't dare to look at the two of them again, so he turned around and left with a sharp knife.

"Zhang Erhu, you're back!"

Widow Song cried.

She hurriedly patted Xiaobao and said sadly: "Call Dad, call your father back!"

Zhang Erhu wiped his tears and strode to leave.

He originally wanted to ask Widow Song if she was interested in him.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't ask.

After all, I'm afraid it's hard to come back.

I don't know how to live without myself, widows and orphans of Song.

At this moment, a childish voice came from behind him.

"Daddy!"

"Dad, you're back!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Erhu turned his head in disbelief.

looked at Xiaobao, who kept calling for herself, and Widow Song, who was crying into tears, burst into tears in an instant.

But he didn't step forward after all, but resolutely turned and left.

"Stinky boy, protect your mother!"

"When Dad comes back, I'll take you and your mother to live a good life!"
