When the barbarians who were still attacking the city saw the reinforcements coming, they immediately became chaotic.
Those who had already entered the city also panicked and soon lost their composure.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wanyan Hasi turned around and ran away with his personal soldiers, not caring about the people in the city.
Zhou Wuchang rode a horse, accompanied by his eldest disciple Zhou Hao and a dozen guards. He rushed into the enemy group with the team, wielding the long-handled sword in his hand and slashing at the enemy.
This time they brought a total of more than 2,000 cavalry and more than 3,000 infantry, specifically to attack when Wanyan Hasi entered the city, and they would definitely be able to drive away the more than 7,000 barbarians.
As expected, Wanyan Hasi was attacked from all sides and immediately lost his fighting spirit, and fled with a large group of people.
Zhou Wuchang did not chase them, but concentrated on dealing with the remaining bandits.
Before long, the barbarians outside the city were either killed or fled, and those inside the city were killed one by one by Zhang Taishou and his men.
Afterwards, he quickly ordered people to clear the city gate and welcome the reinforcements from Daqian into the city.
The prefect's mansion was also being attacked by a group of bandits. Dozens of cavalrymen broke down the gate and rushed into the mansion, attempting to rob the prefect's family. As a result, they engaged in a fierce battle with the guards and servants in the mansion.
Yingbao and her younger brother Huzi teamed up to knock down two bandits, and three of them were injured.
Mrs. Zhang also took off her long skirt, changed into a short outfit, and fought desperately with the cavalry with a machete in hand.
She was protected by three or four guards, so she was not hurt.
The lady in the kitchen picked up a pot of boiling oil and poured it on a bandit, scalding him and making him scream.
The two concubines and several older female servants also held sticks and forks, and one of them even held a stool and waved them at the bandits.
But these old, weak, women and children were no match for dozens of bandits and were soon injured. Two of the servants also died.
Just as several bandits surrounded Yingbao and the other two and were about to chop them with their swords, suddenly a huge rock as big as a table flew towards them and hit one of them, causing him to fall to the ground and die.
The other few people were stunned and before they could react, they were knocked down by the huge rocks.
Hu Zi and the Zhang family opened their mouths in surprise.
Yingbao was seen running quickly towards a bandit. With a wave of his arm, a stone as big as a washbasin flew out and hit the man's waist.
The bandit immediately fell to the ground and wailed.
Yingbao knocked down several people in succession, and the bandits reacted and surrounded him, howling.
How could Mrs. Zhang and the others let them have their way, so they chased after them and attacked them.
Just like that, the battle situation became slightly equal.
Afterwards, another group of people rushed into the prefectural government.
"Big Brother! Second Brother!" Yingbao recognized at a glance that the leaders were Zhou Hao and Zhang Min, and jumped up happily.
Zhou Hao and Zhang Min nodded at her, and without asking any questions, they rushed towards dozens of bandits with their swords drawn.
They also brought a hundred or so soldiers and engaged in a melee with the bandits.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang took Yingbao and several children into the house to avoid them being injured by mistake.
There were many injured servants and guards in the house, so Yingbao took out medicine powder and pills from her bag and distributed them to them.
Everyone looked at Yingbao, and they all seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Yingbao didn't explain the incident with the stone just now, but just lowered her head to clean the wounds of her brother and Huzi.
The two children had several scratches on their bodies, including a wound on Jiang Wu's arm that was so deep that the bone was visible.
Yingbao was so heartbroken that she quickly cleaned the wound, took out the needle and thread to sew up the wound, then covered it with a layer of Wudingzhi and medicine powder and bandaged it up.
Hu Zi was also injured in several places, including one on his back.
Fortunately, he was wearing a thick cowhide vest under his clothes, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, they had all learned martial arts and were quick in dodging, otherwise, the bandit's knife would have chopped off Hu Zi's head.
The two servants lying in the yard were living examples; their heads were chopped off by the bandits.
Half an hour later, the battle in the yard ended.
More than thirty barbarians were all killed and carried out of the prefectural government one after another by the soldiers.
Zhang Xuehua and her two younger sisters were then released from the inner courtyard by the maids.
Yingbao ran to Zhou Hao and said, "Big Brother, is Master here too?"
"Yeah." Zhou Hao was as cold as ever. "In order to save you... to save Jingzhou, Master also asked Xiao Mo to come. We met General Zhong's men on the way, so we just came together."
Jingzhou is a strategic military route. Once the bandits open this gap, they can go all the way south to Luzhou.
Therefore, Jingzhou could not be conquered.
Yingbao can't die.
Yingbao: "Where is Master? I want to go see him." And thank him for saving her life.
"Master is busy, you should heal your wounds first." After Zhou Hao said this, he left with a group of people, but left twenty or thirty people to guard the prefect's mansion.
In the evening, Madam Zhang took a few maids to the kitchen to cook for the injured servants in the mansion.
He also took out a large sum of silver to bury and provide compensation for the deceased servants, and paid one year's salary to all the servants and maids in the mansion.
Mrs. Zhang sent some silver and clothing materials to the two concubines so that they could rest in peace.
After dinner, Mrs. Zhang came to see Yingbao.
"Thanks to you today, we were able to hold on until rescue."
Madam Zhang bowed respectfully to Yingbao, which frightened Yingbao. She quickly returned the greeting: "Madam, please don't say that. I was just saving myself."
At that time, I really couldn't care less about anything.
Yingbao really has no choice but to watch Hu Zi and everyone in Zhang's house die, or expose her own abilities.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang did not ask any questions. She just thanked her and gave her a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water content.
Even though Yingbao was not knowledgeable, she knew that this pair of jade bracelets were extremely valuable.
Yingbao refused to accept it.
Because she was afraid that it would break while she was working.
"It's not worth anything, just keep it." Mrs. Zhang forcibly pulled Yingbao's arm and put a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists.
There was no choice but for Yingbao to accept it and thank Mrs. Zhang.
In the next few days, Yingbao took her brother and Huzi to Zhang's house to recuperate.
When the servants in the mansion saw her, they were all very respectful and called her "Little Heavenly Master" all the time.
On this day, Zhou Wuchang finally arrived.
Yingbao had a lot to say to her master, so she immediately ran to the front yard.
In the front yard, she not only saw Xiao Mo, but also Chu Yan in military uniform, exactly the same as in her previous life.
Yingbao looked around him curiously and asked, "Are you Brother Chu Yan?"
Chu Yan smiled at her and nodded: "Yingbao, long time no see."
"It's been a long time since we last met." Several years have passed since Chu Yan left Dongchen Village with Uncle Xu Kun.
Zhou Wuchang said, "His surname is Zhong, and he is the grandson of General Zhong of the Western Army."
Yingbao blinked.
The grandson of the Zhong family of the Western Army? No wonder Xiao Mo was able to lead the Western Army and usurp the throne. It seems that he has Zhong Chuyan by his side to assist him.
Then Chu Yan said, "My name is Zhong Chu Yan now. Ying Bao, when you go back, please bring some things for my sisters."
Yingbao asked curiously, "Don't you want to go back and take a look? Sister Chuchu's Niuniu is already several years old, and Heidan is also several months old."
Chu Yan shook his head: "I will go back to see them when I have the chance."
