"Yes." Upon receiving Liu Tong's order, Wang Kuang immediately clasped his fists in response to a drink, and hurried towards the east of the city with more than a hundred soldiers. On the other side, Wang Yuanhua held his fist to Liu Tong and asked, "My lord, does this city guard mansion continue to attack?"
"Eh? Oh." It was not Wang Yuanhua's reminder. Liu Tong almost forgot about it, and quickly nodded and said, "Fight me! Why not? All archers are ready to shoot."
When Liu Tong gave an order, there were countless sounds of breaking through the air. However, this sound did not come from Liu Jiajun’s archers, but those who stood at the commanding heights of the castle mansion, and the pioneers of the Vanguard Army took the lead. An attack was launched from outside the palace. A rain of arrows came, and a dozen of Liu's archers fell to the ground immediately.
Seeing this, Liu Tongna, who had lost more than a dozen people because of hesitation, was angry. He immediately shouted, "Shoot me! Aim and shoot! You must shoot me these damn bastards! clean."
There was no accident again this time, countless arrows pouring toward the castle mansion like a downpour. The first unlucky ones were naturally those archers who stood on the commanding heights and believed in the vanguard of the King's Army. It was probably because they had launched an attack earlier. Although they shot and killed many Liu Jiajun soldiers, they also exposed their position. Those Liu Jiajun archers are numerous, and the first target is them.
After a round of arrow rain, the place where the vanguard archers were, without exception, was filled with dense arrows. Most of the vanguard archers were shot straight by the arrows, and a few Even abruptly being nailed to the wall by a bow and arrow, only a few archers saw the bad things and jumped from the place where they were ambushing before, and this was spared.
But this is not the end, because Liu Jiajun’s second round of arrow rain is coming soon. This time Liu Jiajun’s arrows are not only where the archers are located, but are concentrated towards the inside of the castle mansion. Pouring crazily. Although Wang Hu and Wu Liang in the front yard asked the soldiers to find a place to hide, but these arrows were too dense. Many soldiers were still shot by arrows. In just a few moments, nearly a hundred soldiers were shot or wounded.
"General." A soldier cautiously rushed to Wang Hu and Wu Liang behind the eaves, and shouted to Wang Hu: "These damn archers are too many, and their arrows are too dense. If this goes on, it can only be Sit and wait for death! General. The brothers are not afraid of death, but such death is too awkward. You take us out! Anyway, we can also bring some Liu Jiajun thieves to cushion our backs."
"Damn it!" Seeing his subordinates died or were injured one after another, Wang Hu's face was full of anger, and he firmly grasped the hook and sickle gun with both hands, and then stood up and led the soldiers to break through. As the soldier just said, it will be dead sooner or later, so it's better to fight the enemy. At least it can pull a few cushions, and it's not a loss.
"General Wang Hu! Don't be impulsive." Wu Liang, who was next to Wang Hu, met, and quickly reached out to grab Wang Hu, and loudly persuaded him: "General Wang Hu! Please bear with him for a while, and bear with him for a while."
"Patience?" Wang Hu stared with a pair of scarlet eyes, pointing to the corpses of the surrounding vanguard soldiers and shouting: "No matter how much you bear it, my brothers are going to die! Both left and right are dead. I would rather go and fight Liu Tongping." Zheng said. Then, the two arrows just passed through the eaves and shot towards Wang Hu. But Wang Hu, who looked angry, didn't turn his head back, and shot down the two arrows with a single hand. Although Wang Hu was seriously injured now, an arrow attack of this level could not hurt him.
"General Wang Hu, please believe me, and be patient for a while." Wu Liang can also understand Wang Hu's mood, why would he be willing to hide here and wait for death? Even if they can escape this arrow rain attack, when the soldiers are almost killed and injured, they will definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the Liu Jiajun outside the city guard mansion. But Wu Liang still grabbed Wang Hu by the arm and shouted: "General Wang Hu. Wait! Wait! Wait!"
In fact, how could Wu Liang alone be able to stop Wang Hu? It's just that Wang Hugang wanted to force Wu Liang off, but seeing Wu Liang's pleading appearance, he remembered what Wang Qiansui told him to listen to Wu Liang. So in the end, he was still cruel and could only squat down again according to Wu Liang's words.
Seeing Wang Hu's compromise, Wu Liang was also relieved. He would suddenly ask Wang Hu to wait. It was not because he was afraid of life and death, but the reason was the sound of the war drum that just sounded outside. At this time, Ji Qinshan had been breached by Liu Tong, and Liu Tong had no reason to beat the war drum again. If it weren't for the drum that Liu Tong ordered to sound, who would be the one who sounded the drum
A ray of light suddenly rose in Wu Liang's heart. Although Wu Liang also knew that the possibility was extremely small, but for some reason, Wu Liang could not give up this last gleam of hope.
A few more rounds of arrows rained down, and in a blink of an eye, most of the vanguard soldiers who had been few had been killed and injured, and only more than 300 people were left in combat. However, the number of people was smaller, and the space where the city guards could hide was much larger. Later, the number of dead and wounded soldiers became fewer and fewer. However, if this is the case, Wang Hu is also heartbroken. These people are all soldiers trained by Wang Jun's painstaking efforts. Now that he sacrificed so much, even if Wang Hu could survive this time, he would have no face to see his Highness.
Wang Hu and Wu Liang were anxious inside the mansion. Outside the mansion, Liu Tong was also a little impatient. It was not because of Wang Hu and others in the mansion, but because Wang Kuang, who he sent to investigate the drums of war outside the city, was still there. Haven't come back yet. The inexplicable sound of war drums made Liu Tong feel uneasy. Liu Tong didn't care about ordering arrows to be released. Instead, he turned his head and shouted at Zhu Hao: "Zhu Hao. Go to the east and take a look. What happened? Why hasn't Wang Kuang returned?"
After Zhu Hao got the order, he held a fist at Liu Tong, and immediately ordered dozens of soldiers to rush to the east of the city. However, before they left this time, Zhu Hao looked up and saw the person in front of him. Several people rushed to the street, and it was Wang Kuang who took the lead. When Zhu Hao saw him, he immediately shouted to Liu Tong: "My lord! Look, Wang Kuang is back."
"Oh." Liu Tong also saw the figure of Wang Kuang coming back, his face finally relaxed, his expression changed just as he wanted to say something. It turned out that at this moment, Wang Kuang had already arrived in front of Liu Tong. Liu Tong saw Wang Kuang's current appearance clearly, but he was taken aback.
At this moment, Wang Kuang was no longer calm and steady, but his face was pale with a blood stain on his face. There should have been dozens of soldiers beside him, but now there are only two or three people. Looking at Wang Kuang's appearance, Liu Tong knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, Wang Kuang, who had always been calm, would not be so gloomy. Immediately Liu Tong shouted at Wang Kuang: "Wang Kuang! What happened? How come you look like this?"
"My lord. The big event is not good." Wang Kuang managed to relieve his breath, and even ignoring getting on and off the horse, he shouted directly at Liu Tong: "My lord. A large number of letters to the king suddenly appeared in the east of the city. Look at the number. , There are a total of thirty or forty thousand people. Now it is about to reach the gate of the city. My lord! Let's withdraw quickly."
"What." As soon as Wang Kuang said this, not only Liu Tong, but Zhu Hao and Wang Yuanhua behind Liu Tong all exclaimed in exclamation. They all looked incredulous. The soldiers on the left and right were also surprised. They could hear Wang Kuang's words clearly, thirty or forty thousand people. That is several times that of Liu Jiajun. Right now, the enemies in this city guard mansion have not been wiped out yet, so how come so many enemies have popped up again.
"It's impossible." Zhu Hao was the first to exclaim, and rushed directly in front of Wang Kuang, and shouted at Wang Kuang: "Wang Kuang, can you read it wrong? How come it suddenly happened. Do you believe in the king's army more?"
Wang Kuang glanced at Zhu Hao with a bitter smile, shook his head bitterly, and said, "I also hope I was wrong. But it is true. I rushed out of the city gate before and almost lost my life there. The men under me were only killed and injured by the opponent in one round of bows and arrows, and only a few of them were left.” After that, Wang Kuang pointed his finger at the blood stain on his face. Needless to say, this blood stain was destroyed. Wounded by the enemy's arrows.
"Asshole." Liu Tong still knows Wang Kuang very well. If he didn't see clearly, Wang Kuang would never talk nonsense. Now it is not to worry about why these enemies appeared here, but now Liu Tong has to make a choice, is to guard Ji Qinshan, and kill Wang Hu and others in the city guard mansion in one breath. He gave up on killing Wang Hu and Wu Liang and immediately returned to Wan'an. This choice is not easy. The wisest choice is naturally to lead the troops to leave Ji Qinshan immediately. But in order to kill Wang Hu, Liu Tong paid a lot of price this time. How can Liu Tong be willing to give up like this
"My lord." "My lord." Wang Kuang and others are waiting for Liu Tong's decision. After all, the current situation is not good. The enemy is about to fight. At this time, it is unrealistic to deploy the defense line. Without a city wall as a defense, it is simply impossible to withstand enemies that are several times greater than one's own. It was a war or a retreat, and now it was all within Liu Tong's thoughts.
Liu Tong looked at the closed gate of the city guard mansion and almost ordered to rush in, but his reason was telling Liu Tong that retreating as soon as possible was the best choice. In the end Liu Tong could only gritted his teeth and said, "Presumably, Wang Hu and Wu Liang will not be spared the attacks just now. Let's go." Now Liu Tong can only pin his hopes on the arrows rain just now. After the attack, Liu Tong pulled the reins and quickly withdrew his soldiers towards the north of the city.
Now that Liu Tong gave the order, Wang Kuang and others did not dare to delay, and they rushed towards the north of the city with their soldiers and horses. In the city guard mansion, the vanguard soldiers who have experienced several arrow rain attacks now have less than 300 people left. Wang Hu is better, but Wu Liang got an arrow in his thigh, and he is now hurting. You have to gnash your teeth. Just now, it was because of Wang Hu's quick eyes and quick hands that he pulled Wu Liang one by one. Otherwise, Wu Liang had an arrow on his body, but it was not his thigh, but his chest.
"Huh? Nothing." Wang Hu helped to bandage Wu Liang's wound briefly. He tilted his head and cried out in surprise, then turned his head and looked at Wu Liang. It was Wu Liang who stopped him alive and desperately, not letting himself rush out and fight the enemy desperately. Now that such a strange thing happened, Wu Liang must know something.
Wu Liang took a few deep breaths, finally suppressing the pain, and hummed, "General Wang Hu. Wait, don't worry. If we didn't guess wrong, we might be saved this time."
"Saved?" Wang Hu couldn't help being stunned. Since he was besieged in Ji Qinshan yesterday, Wang Hu had already lost his thoughts. Now that Wu Liang said this, Wang Hu couldn't react to it for a while. After finally slowing down, Wang Hu quickly asked, "Master Wu, what is going on? How did we get saved? Did the reinforcements from Yongxin City arrive?"
"No. It shouldn't be. Hiss!" Probably lying on the ground was very uncomfortable. Wu Liang supported the ground with his hands and sat up, but with this movement, it was involved in the wound on his leg, and Wu Liang sucked in pain. Air-conditioning. After a long pause, he continued: "The reinforcements from Yongxin City never came so quickly. As for what is going on, to be honest, I am not very clear. Wait a second. I believe it will happen soon. There is a response."
Wang Hu also nodded. Now, there is nothing else to think about. If they are really destined to die here today, he can only fight the enemy. Wang Hu simply sat down beside Wu Liang and laughed loudly: "Master Wu. I, Wang Hu, died and died. However, Master Wu is the head of the Wu family’s official eunuch family, and today he wants to It's a pity to accompany me to die."
Hearing what Wang Hu said, Wu Liang also grinned. It seemed that the injury on his leg was not so painful. He said, "The heads of the Wu family officials and eunuchs are all famous. He can be like a hero like General Wang Hu. Fighting side by side for so many days is really lucky for Xia. Even if you die, Xia is dead without regret."
"Okay! Okay!" Wang Hu also yelled hello twice in succession. He looked at Wu Liang and shouted: "I only knew that you were a literati, but I thought you were also sour and Confucian. It suits my appetite. Let's stop being polite from generals and adults. I ask you to call you Wu Liang, brother, okay?"
"General Zhang can value me, how dare I not follow my order?" Wu Liang also laughed at the same time. In this situation, the family interests that he used to worry about in his heart have been put down, but he is very simple with Wang Hu. Heart-to-heart. After all, Wu Liang didn’t have a long time to take refuge in Wang Jun’s account. Apart from the two members of the Southern aristocratic family who both opened Zhang’s family and He’s family, Wang Hu was the first to truly agree with him. Senior Wang Jun. The two of you said something to me, but they talked happily in this desperate situation of life and death. When the vanguard soldiers next to them met, they also calmed down, and they were no longer as panicked as before.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Just as the two were talking, the door that had been quiet for a long time suddenly heard a heavy crash, and it seemed that someone was rushing against the door vigorously. As soon as this voice sounded, Wang Hu and Wu Liang couldn't even bother to chat. The atmosphere just eased a little and immediately became tense. Under the leadership of Wang Hu and Wu Liang, all the soldiers raised their swords. Staring closely at the door. Several of the surviving archers also picked up the longbows and arrows of their comrades around them, bent their bows and set their arrows, and aimed at the gate. The bang of the door was like a big hammer, hitting everyone's hearts hard.
The gate of the Chengshou Mansion was actually not very strong. After being smashed a few times, the thick wooden stick that was behind the gate was broken with a creak, and even the two gates fell directly to the ground. But at this moment, the arrow in the archer's hand shot out with a scream, and the figure rushing in from outside the gate flew past.
"Ding!" It's just that the arrow didn't exert the effect that the archer expected. A clear impact sounded, and the arrow was chopped into two directly by a single knife. Then, from There was a violent shout from the gate: "Dare to plot against your grandpa, young ones, kill me."
"Kill." At the same time, Wang Hu snorted coldly, and rushed out from under the eaves with his hook and sickle. Behind him, Wu Liang and the rest of the vanguard soldiers also rushed out. Make a desperate fight with the enemy. Seeing that the two sides were about to rush to one piece, but immediately afterwards, the Wang Hu who was the head of the two sides and the general at the gate were stunned at the same time, and even the soldiers behind them stopped one after another.
"General Wang Hu?" "Long in the flower?" The two exclaimed at the same time, and saw that the general at the gate was unusually tall and had a full-faced beard, but he was the king of the letter. General Hua Zhonglong. Although Huazhonglong has been training naval forces on the Ganshui tributary near Wugong Mountain and the main Ganshui River near Linjiang Army all year round, they are both generals of the Xinwang Army. Naturally, Huazhonglong and Wanghu are recognized, although they now look like Wanghu. A little embarrassed, but Hua Zhonglong still recognized Wang Hu's identity at a glance. Immediately Hua Zhonglong raised his single-handed sword and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "It's all fucking to stop for Lao Tzu, it's all his own."
But after discovering that the other party turned out to be a dragon in the flower, they went up to Wang Hu and Wu Liang, and down to the soldiers of the vanguard. They all breathed a sigh of relief. Several people even softened their legs and sat on the ground. Wu Liang relaxed, the injury on this leg started to hurt again, but at this moment Wu Liang didn't care about the pain, and sat on the ground, but looked at the large number of Huazhonglong and Huazhonglong in front of him. The soldier laughed loudly.
Not only Wu Liang, but Wang Hu also took a few steps forward, dropped the hook and sickle in his hand, slapped Hua Zhonglong's shoulder vigorously, and laughed. This does not mean that they are greedy for life and fear of death, but this feeling of escaping from death does make it difficult for them to conceal the excitement in their hearts.
Seeing Wang Hu and Wu Liang laughing so happily, Hua Zhonglong was confused, but he was sloppy, clutching the back of his head, and then laughed. Fortunately, there were a few lieutenants around Hua Zhonglong. Seeing that the city guards were all their own people, they quickly helped Hua Zhonglong command the soldiers to continue to search other places in the city. Seeing that they act in a tacit understanding, I am afraid that it is not the first time that such a disregarding boss as Hua Zhonglong has done this kind of thing.
After laughing for a long time, Wu Liang was helped by the soldiers around him to reach Hua Zhonglong and Wang Hu. He smiled and asked: "General Hua. I didn't expect it. Why did you suddenly appear here?" Wu Liang has always been resourceful, but Wu Liang couldn't figure out the situation before him. How could the Huazhonglong, who was originally ordered to follow Wang Zongshi to station east of the Nan'an Army, suddenly appear here
Wu Liang asked like this, and he also asked Wang Hu’s heart. Wang Hu also quickly asked: "Yes! Huazhonglong. Shouldn't you be stationed in the border east of the Nan'an Army? How come you suddenly come here. Did you bring so many people?"
Hua Zhonglong said with a smirk: "General Wang Hu, if you ask this, I just asked for nothing. I don't know what, this question, you should ask the commander yourself later."
"Commander?" Both Wang Hu and Wu Liang were taken aback. They could be called commander by Hua Zhonglong, then the general Wang Zongshi who always commanded the navy of Wang Jun. Wang Hu couldn't help exclaiming: "No? Did General Wang also come here? What about the east of the Nan'an Army? Who is guarding the east of the Nan'an Army?"
