Compared to the ease of the surprise attack outside the city the night before, the battle inside Ryashi Castle this time was extremely intense.

For one thing, Ji Zeng's troops were drawn from the garrison around Dongdu and belonged to the regular troops of the Wei Dynasty. After the Three Expeditions, they were still supplied, assigned, trained, and supplemented by Dongdu's warehouses. Their combat effectiveness was naturally higher than that of Shi Huaiming's Qinghe.

The family fortune of the county soldiers is unlikely to collapse even if it encounters a night raid;

Secondly, the field soldiers in the city received a death order. Several of the camp commanders were detained as deputy commanders and personally led the troops to fight in the front. No matter what, they must quickly capture the city gate and the county government office.

Let’s talk about other strategic points... For a time, the soldiers stationed in the city were almost risking life and death. With a superiority of three to one to two to one, they attacked from all directions at the same time.

The hand-to-hand encounter at night was particularly brutal, and to everyone's surprise, only about a quarter of an hour after the battle broke out, one wing of the battle suddenly wavered.

"Kill! Revenge for General Ji!"

Next to a large courtyard across the street from the county government, just after the army tried hard to open up a section of the courtyard wall that had been arranged in advance, the Dongdu Army inside the wall surged out of the gap in formations as if they had been prepared.

When the enemy came out, the army in front of them couldn't resist for a while, and they were broken up by the opponent and rushed directly to the street.

"Surround us! Surround us!"

In the chaos, a military garrison commander surnamed Zhao who was in front of him came over after hearing the news. His eyes were almost splitting when he saw this scene, and he commanded loudly. "How can we let them run away? How can we let them run away?!"

Commander Zhao was so fierce that the soldiers below naturally did not dare to neglect, and rushed forward one after another, trying to intercept him on the street. Commander Zhao himself, after watching the battle for a while, saw the right opportunity, and personally held a spear, preparing to intercept

.

"Don't surround, don't surround." At this moment, Han Erlang's confidant Zhang Wuge, who was leading the army in place of Commander Liu, also came over after hearing the news. After observing for a while, he chose to grab Commander Zhao. "Isn't it just right that they escaped?

"

Village Chief Zhao was stunned for a moment, then stamped his feet and changed his words: "I'm not worried that they will run away, but I'm afraid that they will rush to the county government office to save people..."

"No!" Brother Zhang Wu immediately reminded. "I knew right away that they wanted to run away! If they really wanted to save people, they wouldn't be so well-prepared! They brought everything with them!"

Village Chief Zhao was stunned again, still puzzled: "But why did you run?"

"I don't know either, but they really seem to be running away...

"..." Although Brother Zhang Wu understood the situation, his brain seemed unable to keep up.

Of course, soon, as the two armies kept shouting to kill, the commander of Zhao Tun was shocked and suddenly realized... There was no other way. At this time, the army shouted "Ji Zeng is dead"; and these suddenly

The Dongdu Army gave up their defense and rushed out, shouting "Revenge for the general"!

That's right! Ji Zeng, the strongest combat force here and the natural commander here, did not appear in public for a full quarter of an hour after the battle broke out... He was a master of condensation, and he cultivated Hui.

Guang Zhenqi, with just one leap at this time, can escape from the county government office across the street, and then quickly stabilize the morale of the officers and soldiers surrounding the county government office.

But he didn't.

Ji Zeng, the Seven Taibao of Jing'an Station who was able to get past many Taibao because of his outstanding cultivation, did not appear on the battlefield, nor did he show his cultivation that was enough to make the final decision on this battlefield where high-end combat power was insufficient.

At this time, the soldiers in the gang were shouting: "Ji Zeng is dead!

It is no wonder that these Dongdu troops, who were very close to the county government but were separated at the first moment, chose to flee under the fierce attack - they were bluffed.

Village Chief Zhao knew that, as Han Erlang said, Ji Zeng was poisoned, and after realizing it was too late to save him, it was no longer possible for him to use the methods of a master of condensing pills... This But Han Erlang worked hard for it...After this incident, coupled with the victory the night before yesterday, who would still refuse to accept Han Erlang?

"Leave them alone! Attack the county government office!" At this thought, Tuen Commander Zhao quickly reacted and issued the order again.

"You can't just ignore it. If you don't ignore it, they will become suspicious!" Brother Zhang fifth reminded in a low voice. "A hundred people will chase after you, and then quickly concentrate your forces to capture the county government office and kill Ji Zeng!"

"That's it!" Chief Zhao responded immediately and quickly ordered the division of troops. However, he saw that the Dongdu Army that was originally guarding the county government followed the army's retreat and headed towards the west gate tower where the battle was taking place. , but quickly turned around and asked Brother Zhang nervously. "Brother Zhang, since this team of Dongdu thieves have escaped, should we change our strategy and capture the county government office quickly? Can you make up your mind? It's arson. Or attack by force? What if Ji Zeng still has some energy left?!"

"Set fire! Set fire!" Brother Zhang opened his mouth, obviously feeling guilty, but he still gritted his teeth and gave his advice. "Set fire according to the previous guaranteed plan! It will be faster this way! As for Ji Zeng, we can't control him. If he can't fly, we'll shoot him with a crossbow. If he can't fly, we'll tie him up with a fishing net and stab him with a spear!

After receiving this not-so-smart answer, Chief Zhao became very calm and immediately turned away with his sword in hand.

In a moment, fire broke out around the county government office. "General! General!"

As soon as the fire started, Ji Zeng's personal guards couldn't stand it anymore and immediately retreated to the backyard and found Ji Zeng. "Seven Taibo! The thieves set the fire! We can see clearly that there are steel crossbows outside! There are also fishing nets and hemp ropes. They are Come prepared!"

Ji Zeng sat on the couch, holding the edge with both hands, clenching his teeth and tightening his facial muscles. Hearing these words, he did not speak at all.

The guards couldn't help but panic when they saw this, and the first few people even entered the room to support him.

It turned out that when the battle started, they had already come once to help Ji Zeng sit up. However, Ji Zeng could still speak at that time, but he scolded them to fight immediately to buy himself time so that he could use his true energy to suppress the toxins. Timely participation in the war... In view of this, these personal guards at that time thought that Ji Zeng was not seriously poisoned. Who would have thought that in just a moment, the situation would suddenly turn for the worse?

"Where is General Zheng?" Several people had just approached and before they could support him, Ji Zeng used his tongue to push open his teeth and asked with all his strength. "Isn't his team of soldiers across the street? They can't occupy a high platform to erect it. Can a crossbow control a courtyard wall and street?"

"Run away!" When several people were at a loss, another guard came in from outside the door and greeted quickly. "Seven Taibao! Captain Zheng ran away! I was on the roof before and saw them shouting words of revenge for you.

, but went to the west gate tower, I must have thought you were dead!"

Ji Zeng was startled for a moment, and then he seemed to have realized something. He clenched his teeth again on the spot and tightened the muscles of his limbs. If his personal guards had not been supporting him by his side, he would have fallen on the bed immediately.

The guards were also in a mess on the spot. Some people went to help, some went out to check the fire and wait and see the situation. Some people were horrified and cried out of control on the spot. But some people seemed to have grasped the key: "There is a toilet pit in the public building over there."

, can you give me feces to detoxify?!"

Just do it as you say, someone ignored the dirt and poured a pot of old excrement into the room, and for a while the stench filled the sky.

At this time, some personal guards helped to open Ji Zeng's teeth, but the Seventh Taibao took this opportunity to open his mouth and yelled: "Get out! Get out!"

How could they all get out? It was just the guards carrying the excrement who turned around and left in a hurry.

Ji Zeng took a breath, but found that his teeth were tense again and it was difficult to speak. At this difficult moment, the Seven Taibao's tears fell.

Moreover, even though it was only a short moment of chaos, Ji Zeng's groggy head was spinning several times... When he first discovered that he was poisoned, he was puzzled and even unwilling to believe himself.

He was poisoned, but as the army attacked in large numbers, he still had to believe that he had been tricked into surrendering... But at this time, he didn't have much resentment, because he followed the army's slogan and captured his own

What I thought was the truth was that the reinforcements had arrived!

Help the large army come over and attack from inside and outside. After receiving the order, the soldiers in the city will fake surrender to ensure that they and their troops are trapped in the city and become turtles in the urn. At this time, Han Erlang and the other soldiers in the city will naturally have the courage to fight.

power.

After all, in front of the large army, these thousands of people are just a finger on the tentative claws of the coalition forces.

I lost and lost because I misjudged the overall situation, but it was reasonable. After all, I came to gamble to stabilize my position after the war.

However, just now, when his subordinates told him that Captain Zheng, who was only one street away, led the crowd to flee because they mistakenly thought he was dead, he suddenly realized that Captain Zheng couldn't see him, so he believed the gang's "

"Ji Zeng is dead" and chose to break out of the encirclement and flee, then wouldn't he have made the same mistake, unable to see the outside situation and thinking that "reinforcements have arrived"?

Including feeding feces, Qitaibao thought about it... He was too late and had no time to wash his stomach. But on the other hand, Han Erlang had the opportunity to feed feces and eggs instead of tea like him.

?

However, if this is the case, if everything is as he thought, if the reinforcements have not arrived and he is not dead, doesn't it mean that Han Erlang relied on these two or three thousand soldiers to achieve this situation? Isn't it true?

He said that most of the field soldiers in the city, including Han Erlang, were trying their best to attack and kill the Dongdu Army like him?!

Still the same question, why?

Not how you dare... People are already working hard, so it would be ridiculous to talk about whether they dare or not... But why are you working hard?

What did you do to help Xu Hanerlang?

His thoughts were changing, and without delay Ji Zeng realized that the situation had reached a certain point and he could no longer hesitate.

"Let's go! Let's go too! You carry me and let go!" The Seven Taibao's face was pale. He only used his tongue to open his teeth and tried to order with a big tongue. "I don't know if I can still use my cultivation, but if I can do it at the city gate,

A nearby attack will definitely stabilize the situation... We can also take advantage of the chaos and escape!"

The guards did not dare to delay. They picked up the opponent and rushed out.

At this time, the fire outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the army simply began to throw torches, bundles of firewood and other prepared objects into the county government office. For a time, the entire county government office was in danger of falling into a sea of ​​flames. When a group of people found the courtyard, flames were already burning on all sides.

They were approaching, but everywhere in the county government was in chaos. All the officers and soldiers were missing at this time, but they didn't know whether they were fighting separately or had broken through without authorization.

But he couldn't control much. The guards had just left the backyard, and some of them gave up the armor they had just put on because of the scorching fire. What's more, after crossing the wall, there were already soldiers in the garden, and both men

Fa immediately fell into a physical fight.

Seeing this scene, Ji Zeng couldn't help but tremble with fear... After all, he knew clearly in his heart that even if he had some remaining Qi, he could use it in desperate situations, but if he couldn't use it in a real battle between two armies,

, and then inspire military morale and mobilize reinforcements, otherwise it will just lead to a siege... But now, in this situation, it is difficult to leave the county government office, and even the county government has no military morale to inspire.

.

Haven't the soldiers across the street also run away?

Looking at the general who was clenching his teeth, a chief of the guards seemed to have noticed the problem. He turned around, leaned against the guard who was carrying the general on his back, and whispered to him: "Seventh Taibao! This fire will last a while.

Everything is gone, and the county government can't hold it at all! There are two ways now. One is that we take off our armor and carry you to the south or east to break through. When we reach the base of the city wall, the general will jump down according to his ability and return to the military camp. Everything will be fine.

; The other one is to use all your strength now to lure Captain Zheng and those people back!"

After saying that, the chief stretched out his hand, pinched Ji Zeng's chin open, and waited for words. At this time, the latter actually woke up and pushed the chief away. Then, regardless of the tightness of his internal organs, he tried his best to get out.

When he was really angry, he just jumped up hard, but actually a piece of radiance rolled up and jumped two or three feet high, and then landed on the roof. Now that he had jumped to the roof, he tried his best to hold on and looked around, and saw that everything was there.

The siege, but the glow brought by his leap was not very conspicuous under the firelight and moonlight. Not to mention that the escaped Captain Zheng and his party were frightened to turn around, but only some people in the army surrounding the county government noticed him.

.

Seeing this situation, the Seventh Taibao, who only had his shirt on, was slightly moved. Then he hesitated and did not jump back to the garden. Instead, he continued to use his true energy to jump from the roof again toward a peripheral gap he found.

After leaping several times in a row and landing after passing through the surrounding area of ​​the county government office, all the limbs were tight, and the meridians and organs through which the true energy had passed were sore and twitching. However, I could hear the exclamations and shouts of death coming from nowhere behind me.

Ji Zeng did not dare to stay for a moment, he rolled and crawled and fled into the surrounding alleys. However, this Seventh Taibao was not a local, did not know the road conditions, and after being poisoned, his body joints became tight.

Out of control, secondly, the movement of the true energy was blocked, thirdly, I felt dizzy, but after digging for a long time, I fell into a dead end.
To be continued...
