Chao Gai, who was striding forward, waving the simple sword in his hand and slashing at the officers and soldiers in front of him, did not notice the sudden danger. When he heard his brother shouting a warning ten feet away behind him, he saw the sharp arrow flying through the air. When he came, his sword had just cut into the body of an officer and soldier, and he had no time to return the sword to defend himself. He could only subconsciously turn his head to dodge, avoiding the fatal arrow shot towards his face.
But just when he was distracted, the officer and soldier who was hit on the shoulder by his knife and was almost cut into pieces also got angry. He saw the right moment and roared, completely ignoring the serious injuries on his body, and held the spear in his hand. He stabbed forward fiercely and pierced Chao Gai's lower abdomen. A spear tip popped out from his back and stabbed Chao Tianwang through.
If Chao Gai hadn't been distracted by the arrow and ignored the immediate danger, it would have been impossible for Chao Gai to be injured by such a small soldier. But now, everything was different. Chao Gai let out a miserable howl as the bone-piercing pain hit him. While his body was shaking, the movements of his hands did not slow down. He clenched the handle of the knife with both hands and suddenly moved down. Press away.
There was only a puff sound, and the soldier had been cut in half by him, with blood splattering, which was extremely horrifying. This made the officers and soldiers who saw Chao Gai seriously injured and wanted to step forward to kill him pause. But at this time, the brothers behind Chao Gai were already frightened and rushed forward desperately. The three heroes of the Ruan family, Liu Tang and others People quickly protected him behind them, and some even shouted in horror: "King of Heaven, how are you..."
But at this time, Chao Gai was unable to reply. The spear hit him extremely seriously, and he later used the sword with all his strength, which made his wound bigger, blood spurted out, and a large amount of blood was lost. He lost consciousness in just a few moments and fell into coma on the spot. This made the brothers even more panicked. If Chao Tianwang had any good intentions, even if he captured Dongping City, it would not help. So soon someone loudly ordered: "Withdraw, protect King Chao, and evacuate the city! "
After several leaders led the crowd to break up, the others carried the unconscious Chao Gai and ran back quickly, followed the erected ladder back to the city, and rushed back to the military camp as quickly as possible. This is also because Dong Ping is not here, and the officers and soldiers of Dongping Mansion have lost their courage. Otherwise, under this great opportunity, the officers and soldiers will definitely defeat the Liangshan Army, and it will not be difficult to solve the current predicament in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, opportunities always fleeting. Pang Xu, who had made a great contribution by releasing cold arrows to save the city, failed to lead his army to defeat the enemy. In the end, he could only watch the enemy retreat slightly after entering the city, but he did not dare to take the opportunity to fight to the death with him.
In fact, the Liangshan army was in chaos at this time. When he saw Chao Gai being carried down from the city covered in blood, even the foresighted Wu Yong was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly He stepped forward to check: "What's wrong with him, King of Heaven?" When he saw the spear that had pierced Chao Gai, he was even more frightened, and quickly shouted for the army doctors to come over and treat him.
Everyone was busy carrying Chao Gai into the tent, and then several military doctors managed to take out the spear. Concerned, many brothers gathered in front of the big tent. Even the lieutenants and officers did not care about the movements of the officers and soldiers in front at this time, only caring about Chao Gai's injury.
Although Chao Gai is not as popular as Song Jiang in the village, he is still in everyone's mind.
The leader of the village is also generous and generous, and is highly favored by all the brothers. Seeing that he was seriously injured now, everyone was naturally nervous. The fighting spirit of attacking the city almost disappeared at this moment.
It wasn't until he saw this scene that Wu Yong, who had calmed down a little from the sudden change, realized that the situation was not good, and quickly shouted solemnly: "What are you doing? If you don't hurry up and guard the barracks, the King of Heaven has been seriously injured. This is a big deal, if we let the army take the opportunity to attack my camp again, the consequences will be even more serious! Just let the doctors take care of us here, you all go back quickly!"
After some scolding, the brothers came to their senses. They quickly turned around and ran to various parts of the military camp to prepare for defense. However, this time they were busy in vain. Even though they saw that the Liangshan military camp was in chaos, the officers and soldiers in Dongping City remained stationary and had no intention of taking the opportunity to kill the enemy.
This was not only because the officers and soldiers were timid, but also because just after the Liangshan army retreated, a shocking news came - Dong Dujian was thrown into prison by Governor Cheng for his crime!
When he heard the news, Pang Xu could hardly believe his ears. How could the prefect attack the always-trusting governor, and at such a critical juncture? But then, after seeing the warrant that Cheng Wanli deliberately sent, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only accept this ridiculous fact.
At this critical moment when powerful enemies outside could attack the city at any time, Dongping Governor was imprisoned, and all the burdens naturally fell on the shoulders of his deputy, Pang Xu. This made him in a daze. General, the joy of repelling the thieves completely dissipated.
All the officers and soldiers reacted the same way as him. They were all trained by Dong Ping. In their eyes, Dong Dujian was a god-like figure. With him, Dongping City could be protected. But now, he is being imprisoned by the prefect. If the enemy attacks the city again, what should he do
At this moment, the morale of the Dongping garrison has been shaken, and collapse is not too far away. If the news hadn't come a little late, before the Liangshan army attacked the city, Chao Gai would have been able to easily break the city and he wouldn't have been seriously injured.
Pang Xu looked at the terrified subordinates around him with dull eyes, and his heart slowly sank to the bottom: "This... what should I do? If the thieves outside the city attack the city again, I can still defend it. Is that so?" He wanted to find the eunuch to intercede for Dong Dujian, but after being suppressed by civil servants for many years, he actually didn't have the courage at all. He didn't even dare to go to the government office to inquire about the relevant information. He could only feel a little absent-minded. He stood guard at the top of the city, looking around and outside the city blankly, wondering what to do next.
So, after a big battle, an extremely strange scene appeared among the armies of both sides. Both armies were shaken due to the accident of their respective generals. At this time, as long as either side dares to take the initiative, it can quickly win a big victory. But for more than half a day after that, everyone stood still and stood firm, maintaining a wonderful balance.
Wu Yong, who was outside the city, could see some clues, but at this time, he could no longer care about such trivial matters as breaking through Dongping. What he cared about most was Chao Gai's injury. If the King of Heaven was really good, he would break through ten more Jomata
What's the use
King Chao Tian is the leader of the village. If something goes wrong with him, the brothers will be upset, and it may even trigger conflicts among some brothers in the village, so he will never let such a thing happen. At that moment, Wu Yong had the intention of withdrawing his troops. If he hadn't been worried that it would affect the layout of Qingzhou, he would have issued such an order.
And after suffering for a long time, until after the watch came, the two doctors who had been busy in the tent for a long time and looked exhausted came out with frivolous steps. After seeing them come out, the three heroes of the Ruan family and other leaders, who had been paying attention to the situation here, surrounded them with cheers and asked all kinds of questions: "How is he, the king? Does his injury not matter?..."
This time Wu Yong did not step forward to stop him, but looked at the two people expectantly. The two men took a half step back uneasily, and then said: "The spear from the King of Heaven has been taken out, and the wound has been treated, but the injury is too serious, and our army is short of medicine, so we can only stabilize it temporarily. His injury requires him to return to the village if he wants to recover..."
"That's good..." Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the brothers and said: "Everyone continue to guard the barracks, and don't let the officers and soldiers take advantage of it. I will go in first to see the king, and then I will do the next thing. arrange."
After Chao Gai fell, Wu Yong, who was in the fourth position in the village, was naturally in charge here. The others did not say anything and took orders one after another.
With heavy steps, Wu Yong entered the tent and immediately smelled the pungent smell of blood. At the same time, he also saw the horrifying spear that had been cut off and stained with blood. After sighing softly, he came to Chao Gai, who was lying on the couch with a pale face. After looking at him carefully for a long time, he said: "King of Heaven... I have advised you not to take risks before. You are now the lord of Liangshan, how can you always rush to the front like before? It's better now. You are seriously injured, but let Brothers are anxious and frightened..."
After complaining for a few words, he hesitated: "I've thought about it. To be safe, we'd better retreat as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Sun Tuzhen arrives with the Qingzhou Army, we may not be able to stop him. After all, Dongping is not an important place, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation if it cannot be taken..."
"No...but!" To Wu Yong's surprise, after he said his plan, Chao Gai, who was supposed to be in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes and uttered these two words with difficulty, while looking closely at Looking at him, it seemed that he wanted to say something, but was unable to say it for the moment.
This made Wu Yong's heart skip a beat: "King of Heaven, you have been seriously injured, nothing can happen again. I think brothers can understand... "
"Qingzhou..." Chao Gai didn't mean to compromise at all. He still stared at him and said two more words.
This time Wu Yong finally understood what he was worried about, and it was indeed the same as his previous worries. After hesitating for a while, Wu Yong finally nodded and said: "Since the King of Heaven has this intention, I should do my best. This time I will definitely try to capture Dongping Mansion and kill the thief who caused the King of Heaven to be seriously injured!"
It wasn't until he heard his assurance that Chao Gai showed a satisfied smile, then closed his eyes and fell into coma again...
