While Chen Chang and Wei Chuan were trying to persuade them, the bandits outside the city had already begun to take action. A guard suddenly shouted: "No, the bandits are using a catapult!"
Chen Chang raised his eyes to look and saw several stones coming through the air. Without any regard for etiquette, he pulled Miss Wang's hand and hid behind the arrows.
As soon as they took cover, rocks were thrown at them. There was a loud crash, dust flew up, and several arrows were smashed out. The guards and young men were hit by the flying bricks, and many people were injured.
Some of the unlucky ones were hit in the head by a thrown stone, their brains burst out and they died on the spot.
In fact, faced with such siege weapons, the soldiers and civilians on the city were helpless and could only find a place to hide.
Wang Huan was a little confused when she saw Chen Chang holding her hand tightly. She didn't understand that this scholar was so bold and so rude in public.
Even though he had good intentions to save her, it was far beyond her ability to bear, and her dusty face reflected a beautiful blush.
She shook Chen Chang's hand away hard and wanted to scold him, but when she saw a pool of blood flowing under Chen Chang's left leg, she immediately put her displeasure behind and asked nervously: "Are you okay? Is it your leg?"
Injured?"
Chen Chang was horrified. He pointed at a young corpse beside him and was speechless. It turned out that he was not injured. The blood under his leg was that of a young man who was hit by a stone.
Get up from the ground and go to grab Wang Huan's hand.
Wei Chuanzheng felt reassured when he saw that Wang Huan was not injured. When he saw Chen Chang reaching out his hand, he shouted angrily: "What are you doing?"
Chen Chang was frightened by the loud shout, and then he remembered that it was inappropriate to grab the other person's hand like this.
In fact, he didn't understand. His life was almost gone. What's the point of grabbing his hand? Can't he tell which one is more serious?
Wang Huan said flatly: "That's enough, don't say any more!"
She took out her ivory waistband and said to Chen Sing: "You are relatively familiar with those villagers. They listened to you and promised me that they must be safely transferred to the direction of Jiangling, twenty miles northwest of the city.
There is the garrison camp of the imperial court. This is my waist badge. Today, I know people well, appease the soldiers, and show sympathy to the people. If you see the Holy One and explain what happened today, he will definitely favor you.
”
Chen Chang said anxiously: "I learned from the bandits that the reason why these bandits stormed Wubao was all because of you, the eldest lady. Although the detailed reasons are unknown, what is certain is that these bandits not only did it for
She is beautiful, but she has other plans, so please evacuate as soon as possible. Brother Wei and I stay here to delay!"
Wang Huan shook her head and refused.
Chen Chang said anxiously: "Since the eldest lady refuses to leave, we will continue to stay here. I have already asked the people to disperse their wealth all over Wubao. These bandits are bandits after all. How can we not be tempted after seeing the money?
This can also delay their pursuit. At the same time, if you order someone to pretend to be the eldest lady to lure the bandits away, I think the bandits will definitely divide their troops, so the pressure on the people will be greatly reduced..."
Wei Chuanzheng's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Yes, Miss, this will make it even more difficult for the thieves to succeed. As long as they divide their troops to chase the fake Miss, most of the people will be saved. With me, Wei, here, I will definitely be able to help."
The eldest lady wants to buy more time with the common people."
Although Wang Huan did not care about personal life and death, if she could not save the lives of the people, even dying in battle would not help. In this way, Chen Chang's suggestion does have some merit.
Wang Huan sighed: "If this is the case, I am too confused. However, the person pretending to be me will be chased by the bandits. I can't bear it, so I will lead the bandits away myself..."
p>
"Miss, look..." Wei Chuanzheng suddenly pointed his finger behind Wang Huan and shouted.
Wang Huan looked back, but found nothing unusual. When she turned her head back, she received a slap on the back of her neck, her vision went dark and she fainted.
Chen Chang said anxiously: "Brother Wei, you..."
Wei Chuanzheng did not explain, and ordered the guards to carry Wang Huan down. He glanced at Chen Chang again: "Chen Langjun, you... follow the eldest lady and evacuate this Wubao."
Chen Chang saw that although Wei Chuanzheng's methods were not worthy of publicity, he had no choice but to do so. He also saw that Wei Chuanzheng was willing to die in the face of strong enemies, so he felt a bit of admiration in his heart.
At this time, Yan Qianshi below was calling him to leave quickly, while Shui Ling'er stood beside Fatty Yan and waited eagerly.
Wei Chuanzheng didn't know Shui Ling'er's true identity. He also said that she was Chen Chang's wife, and urged: "Why don't you go down quickly? What are you doing here in a daze? Are you really making that charming woman a widow?"<
/p>
"I..." Chen Chang knew that it was of little significance for him to stay at this time, but now he was asked to abandon the soldiers and civilians on top of the city to escape alone, but he couldn't bear it, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
"If you don't go on, I won't be polite!" Wei Chuanzheng suddenly pointed again and said sternly, "Don't forget, the badge given to you by the eldest lady is a magic weapon to pass the customs. Only with this can the generals who lead the troops can
When sending troops, don’t betray the trust of the young lady..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Chang was already limping down.
Wei Chuanzheng looked at his back and couldn't help but frown. This man's character was so bad. It was in vain that the young lady trusted him so much. As the bandits approached, he stopped caring about Chen Chang and looked back at the dozens of young men and guards around him.
He said in a ferocious voice: "We are now nailed to the top of this city. Anyone who dares to retreat without mercy will be killed without mercy!"
In Wubao, Yan Qianshi and others finally brought Chen Chang down, and Zhou Yihai on the side also called him to leave quickly.
Chen Chang's original intention was to come down and talk to Yan Qianshi and Shui Ling'er, while he would continue to stay and advance and retreat with Wei Chuanzheng and others. However, before he could speak, he heard thunderous drums outside the city and loud shouts of killing.
, everyone’s eyes showed horror.
Chen Chang hurriedly said to Shui Ling'er: "Ling'er, Wubao can no longer be defended. You should immediately follow my brother, Aweng, out of Wubao and escape to the mountains. Colonel Zhou will protect you along the way."
Shui Ling'er suddenly understood what he meant and said solemnly: "No, where the husband is, that's where the concubine is!"
Chen Chang ignored it, bowed deeply to Yan Qianshi and said, "Brother, Ling'er is in your hands. You know her life best. I hope you will take good care of her in the future!"
Yan Qianshi was so anxious that tears came out, and he said anxiously: "You just come with us."
Zhou Yihai said angrily: "Why are you so confused? Scholars are troublesome. At this time, it is your mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Since Miss Shui's heart is tied to you, how can you easily entrust it to others?"
"I..."
"Let's go, it's too late if you don't go!"
After saying that, Zhou Yihai directly grabbed Chen Chong's arm and left. Chen Chong couldn't get away, so he had to follow them to the back door.
As he walked, his mind gradually calmed down. He, a weak scholar, really couldn't do much good if he stayed on top of the city. He was really hot-headed and reckless.
Shui Ling'er stepped forward to help him, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.
"Tell the brothers, the big boss has an order. After the city is broken, except for Miss Wang, they can take whatever they want and women can do whatever they want. No boss, big or small, will cut off their heads!"
He Deng shouted orders outside Wubao. The morale of these bandits was very low before, and they urgently needed to revive their morale.
Bandits have their own rules. Among the bandits, the status of the leaders, big and small, is absolutely transcendent. Whenever there is a harvest, the leaders usually pick the money and women first. Ordinary bandits, no matter how great their achievements are, are not qualified.
Dispose first.
And Song Ziji's order was like giving all the minions a bowl of chicken blood, allowing them to see countless gold, silver and beauties, and they all screamed with excitement.
"Come in, women can come to you, and you can take money and silk as you please!" Shouting slogans, the bandits launched round after round of attacks on Wubao.
Song Ziji urged his horse to the side of He Dao's horse and shouted to the bandits who were attacking in front: "Except Miss Wang, whoever gets the women inside is the one who gets it. Don't let others get the beautiful woman first, brother."
Come on, guys..."
Under Song Ziji's instigation, countless bandits fell from the hook ladder with illusions in mind, and those who luckily did not fall to death climbed up the hook ladder again with illusions in mind.
Their greedy eyes seemed to have penetrated the thick city wall and saw the money, silk and women inside.
"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows. The people inside can't hold on any longer. Brothers, try harder!" Seeing that the big bosses were personally supervising the battle, He Dong naturally couldn't abandon himself to lagging behind.
The arrows were like locusts, as fast as the rain, and the sharp arrow clusters hit the soldiers and civilians on the city, and people kept falling to the ground.
In Wubao, Zhou Yihai saw that Chen Changwu was still looking back when life and death were at stake, and immediately shouted: "Idiot, don't look anymore, follow me out of the city quickly, hurry up, if you can take away all the injured,
Don’t let your brothers fall into the hands of bandits.”
A dull crashing sound and a sound of shouting came from the direction of the tower.
"Hey, hey, bump..."
Chen Chang and Zhou Yihai looked at each other, with chills and fear flashing in each other's eyes. Zhou Yihai suddenly shouted: "No, city gate!"
Just now, the gate of Wubao was blocked by rocks and bricks, but it can be imagined how strong it was in a hurry. At this time, the thieves outside were emboldened and did not have to worry about the boiling water, rolling stones and arrows on the city. Dozens of people shouldered the resistance just felled.
A huge tree hit the Wubao gate hard, and soon the masonry collapsed. In the flying dust, the two dilapidated gates collapsed.
The people who were about to move were stunned. As soon as the gate opened, no matter how fierce Wei Chuanzheng and others on the city were, they could not prevent the city from being destroyed.
The overwhelming shouts of killing rang out, and more than a dozen bandits had already broken through the smoke and dust to reveal their bodies. Chen Chang felt as if all the strength in his body was being drained away.
At this moment, a ferocious face like a ghost appeared on top of the city. The face was full of blood, with a big mouth open, and a shrill cry came from his throat: "Captain Zhou, open the city gate."
Block it, our reinforcements are coming..."
