Rebirth of Weak Daughter of the General’s Family - Chapter 156

Inside the North City Gate is an open space, surrounded by high walls, with only three streets leading to the darkness. The road leading to the tower has been blocked by stones. The heavy city gate was pushed open, and the soldiers of the northern army rushed into the city. Some ran into the street with the light of the torch of the city head, and some erected a ladder. Want to attack the city gate. Soldiers holding a short crossbow on the city gate appeared one after another. The dead bodies under the city gate quickly piled up, and they could climb up a ladder, but they couldn’t get there anyway.

Others saw how difficult it was to attack the gates, and they chose to run into the streets. It’s just that the streets are quiet and dark, like the mouth of an open beast…

The killing sound on the city wall shook the sky, Zhenbei Hou Shen Yi and Shen Jian were all fighting on it in sections. The commanding hand and the swordsman took turns to beat the Bei Rong people who had boarded the city head. Ji Wenzhao walked back and forth, looking at the whole situation. Qi Conglin yelled and fired a strong crossbow from a high place, so that the enemy rushing down the city would not be too crowded and the city could not deal with it. In the city, the alternate Shen family soldiers went up to the city one by one following the order. Duan Zeng took the civilians to and fro inside the city wall, immediately carried the wounded soldiers down and sent them to the city…

None of these chaos distracted Yan. She kept her eyes on her, and after a while, she raised her hand and waved. The four big men who were waiting for her signal yelled to pull out a thick iron rod from the stone, and then pulled the iron rope, with the power of the big pulley, suspended the North City Gate in the air by the big iron fence. The door was slowly lowered.

The iron gate fell to the ground, and immediately disconnected the enemy soldiers who were about to invade the city. Many people tried to climb up the iron gate, so they were naturally shot down by the people in the city.

Across the iron fence gate, people in Beirong could vaguely see the streets of the city, wondering why no one came out of the thousands of people who rushed into the city. The city gate should be opened again inside and outside.

Those who rushed into the lost city actually wanted to go back, and really didn’t want to stay in this terrible street.

As they walked, arrows shot from the wall, and half of the people on the street fell. Or, the narrow street is a little uphill, and as soon as a dozen people walked up, a big boulder rolled from the front, and there was someone pushing it with the wood in the back! No matter how sturdy you are, you will not be able to withstand the weight of a stone ball, and you will be rushed to the ground… the people following will end the life of the feller. There were people over there with dense arrows and crossbows to stop the people, people pushed the boulders up the small slope, dragged the corpses away, and then let people in… As soon as a small group of people turned a corner, a row of stone axes fell from the darkness. Cut people down to the ground alive…The people in front of them clearly passed by, but the few at the end suddenly found that they were empty under their feet, and fell into a trap full of iron cones with a cry. The person next to him pushed the iron plate back to its original position. Under the trap was a wide tunnel. The person inside took the dead or injured from the cone with a long fork, and pulled the rope to give a signal. The person who guarded the trap knew that it was empty. People can go down again… Even a small group of people is moving, and suddenly they find that the wall is narrowing! They didn’t know that the so-called walls on both sides of the street were actually made of thick wooden planks. They were stabilized by a tripod. On one side, dozens of people pushed together and pressed the people in the middle with the walls on both sides. They were not allowed to resist. With a long knife… As for the gateway along the street, you can’t even go in. As soon as I entered, it was a separate slaughterhouse with various nets, cages, wooden rods…everything, there were screams everywhere in the courtyard along the street, and few people could run out…

This is a sleepless night in Yancheng. Most of the common people in the city are on the street. Young and middle-aged people go to help carry the wounded or corpses, the old people keep the roads open, and the married women help cook and boil water… …Someone wanted to approach the North Gate, which was fighting fiercely, but found that the roads were strictly guarded. Yan Erguan led a person holding the household registration booklet and set up guard boxes at several intersections. Under the torch, the idlers were stopped at any time for interrogation. The waist card cannot enter the war zone at all. Someone joined the volunteers under the pretext of going to help, only to find that they were only assigned to the street leading to the northern city, taking over the corpses that were continuously carried out from the inside…

After more than an hour, the lost city became quiet. Someone waved a torch in the darkness in the distance, Yan Shi once again signaled to the people, and several big men stirred the pulley and raised the big iron fence gate up again. Originally, in this night’s battle, it was too late to conquer Yancheng. Bei Rong saw many casualties, and Tugu Khan had the intention to retreat. I was about to retreat, but reported that the North Gate had opened again! Seeing the fire on the city, Tugu Khan thought that this was the thousands of people who had attacked the city and finally occupied the city gate, opened the gate to let their own people in… So, he increased his troops and ordered a charge…

The fierce battle on the city has reached a feverish level, and groups of northern soldiers climbed up the city wall on the stones and the corpses in front of the city. The barrels of hot oil were poured down and lighted again. The flames of Yancheng flared up from time to time. The people who climbed the ladder were burned and fled, and even the people on the city were retreated to the inside by the flames. There were only those hands, clinging to the arrows. , Shooting arrows endlessly…

In the middle of the night, the iron gate of Yancheng crashed down again, and Tugu Khan was really angry: Did the attackers fail and the other side took the gate back! Only keep fighting! Sure enough, as he expected, an hour later, the iron gate of Yancheng rose again, revealing the passage into the city…It was not until the Dongfang was about to dawn, that it fell back to the ground with a cry again, blocking the return of the soldiers who entered the city…

That night, the iron fence gate of the north gate of Yancheng rose three times, and Tugu Khan believed that this was a desperate struggle between the enemy and the enemy for the gate. Every time their own soldiers attacked, the opponent regained the city gate and closed it, and the northern soldiers fought against the opponent in the street, and then came to open the city gate…No one would believe that the Yancheng defenders deliberately opened the city gate. After all, they opened the gate to steal. The risk is too great, who would do it

In the morning light, after a night of fighting, both sides were exhausted. After daybreak, the city could shoot and kill from a long distance very accurately, and it was not good to attack the city. Tugu Khan ordered to retreat and prepare to take a rest and fight again.

When the results of the casualties came, he was shocked: nearly 50,000 were killed, wounded, and disappeared in the siege, plus the previous casualties, nearly half of the Northern Rong army had been damaged! Tugu Khan was worried, he immediately ordered to retreat, and the troops waited to see if the victory of the West Route Army could weaken Yancheng’s resistance.

In fact, Yancheng is not easy, although it is not as heavy as Beirong, but the battle on the city wall also has many casualties. Duan Zeng was busy all night, leaving the city in the early morning, and going to the medical center to treat the seriously wounded. Shi Helin is now completely free of the problem of fainting blood. The yard of the medical care center is full of **** wounded, and Shi Helin himself is also splattered with blood. He saw Duan Zeng coming, and said with tears: “Hurry up, hurry up! Many people are about to die…”

Duan Zeng was too lazy to speak, and according to Shi Helin’s instructions, he started to stop the bleeding and fix the bones one by one.

Mrs. Yan Er spent the night arranging people to cook and deliver food and hot water to the city. Now it’s breakfast time again, and she wants to leave after finishing her meal. The second official Yan handed over the shift and dragged his feet to Mrs. Yan’s place, sitting in the room waiting for her, and going home with her.

Yan was exhausted. She stood on the edge of the city all night, almost paralyzed. Seeing Beirong had withdrawn, she slid on the ground against the wall. Shen Jian saw it in the city, hurried over to pull her up, and whispered: “Don’t sit on the ground, cool! Go back to your parents!”

Yan was also really sleepy. She weakly said to Shen Jian, “About 19,000 people have entered the lost city.” Shen Jian nodded in response. Yan left the north gate that had blocked the road to the upper city and walked out. In the lost city area, he almost closed his eyes and walked down the city with the help of the wall. A group of sturdy women came with a steaming cauldron. The soldiers lined up to drink water and eat. Yan Shi didn’t want to squeeze them, so he walked slowly into the city.

Along the way, there were soldiers and soldiers sitting on the side of the street and resting, wounded soldiers lying down, and dead bodies. Someone came over to see him, shouting: “The corpse can’t be here, send the corpse to the southeast kiln!”

Yan knew that Ji Wenzhao had built a large kiln in the southeast downwind in order to dispose of the dead body to burn the dead body to prevent the dead body from spreading the plague. Several people ran over, lifted the dead body and hurried past her. Yan felt exhausted physically and mentally, and started to cry. She cried as she walked, deeply touching the sin and blood in the world.

When she thought of the girl, she took her cousin to the mountain to pick flowers and willows, washed her feet in the stream, secretly drank wedding wine, and criticized the saint’s classics…At that time, she felt that these things were a big deal. But now, the arrangement she personally directed has allowed tens of thousands of people to slide into the cliff. Every time she waved at night, thousands of people were killed in the lost city, and her hands were already bloody. In the past, she thought that she was very masculine in her heart, but now she understands that she is really a woman. From the bottom of her heart, she does not want to be so cruel, but she must not retreat. Whether she is dead or not is secondary. She has a husband Shen Jian , There are parents, in order to defend them, she must persevere to the end…

Yan returned home, only drank cold water, and fell asleep. When Yan Erguan and his wife returned home, Mrs. Yan Er was about to ask Yan to get up and eat something, only to see Yan’s complexion flushed and he had a fever. Mrs. Yan Er was so scared that she guarded Yan’s and began to cry. During this time, she had seen too many lives die in an instant, for fear of Yan’s length. Yan Erguan was busy going out to find the doctor, but now the doctors are helping the wounded, who would pull away to see a patient who had been busy all night when Ji Yan came back, and came to see Yan. Seeing that she was burning hot, Ji Yan Shi said to the worried Mrs. Yan Er: “She must have caught the cold, and her body’s Yang Qi has been activated. If you want to drive the cold out, it should be done by finding a doctor to sweat.”

Mrs. Yan Er wiped her tears and said, “Her father hasn’t come back now, it seems that he can’t find it.”

Ji Yan said: “Then give her **** soup.”

Mrs. Yan Er cooked the **** soup and poured Yan Shi into a bowl within an hour.

Yan Shi retreated from the top of the mountain to defend overnight. This period was too exhausting, and it was natural to be so sick. Fortunately, she was still young and Lisheng, she finally sweated in the middle of the night, and the fever went away, but she was still asleep.

Yan Erguan also fell asleep when he returned home in the afternoon. Mrs. Yan Er was afraid that he would also be ill, so she poured **** soup. Yan Erguan got up the next day and went to the household registration office to order a mao, but Mrs. Yan Er couldn’t go away. Ji Yan took over her affairs and bit the bullet to allocate personnel, adjust animal resources, and ensure that she would go to the city. The diet of soldiers and volunteers.

Yan’s illness caused him to lie down firm for seven or eight days. After getting out of bed, he felt that cotton was on the soles of his feet.

Mrs. Yan Er said with pleasure to the officials of Yan Er: “We are here, or our daughter probably won’t survive.”

The second official Yan snorted and said, “You are a good man, I will naturally look forward to the future…”

Mrs. Yan Er curled her lips: She felt that she insisted on coming here to save her daughter. Now the city is full of wounded people, Yan’s sickness, where can someone take care of this is the parents here, Yan’s can sleep on the bed lying in the quilt, otherwise it is not like the wounded outside who fell on the ground, it will be heavy, but just in After hearing that Yan was ill, he hurriedly visited twice. The man is really unreliable! The Yan clan came to live and die with him, and he didn’t guard by the Yan clan’s bed day and night!

Shen Jian also wanted to guard, but he really didn’t have time. After the war, he needed to count his army and equipment.

In the lobby of the Chinese Army, Shen Jian reported the casualties to Zhenbeihou. Before the war, there were more than two million arrows transported from the south, tens of thousands, and two hundred crossbows. Together with the arrows and weapons made by local craftsmen over the years, Yancheng was waiting for it. But that’s it, more than 10,000 casualties were caused by one night’s guard. If they are not prepared in advance, the consequences are really disastrous.

Zhenbeihou asked Shen Jian: “I used a bed crossbow this night. The cost of arrows can be more expensive than our arrows.”

Shen Jian said: “It was reported that the arrow has already used half of it.”

Zhenbeihou said: “Then it will be saved, try to lead people into the maze.”

Shen Jian also nodded and said, “Yes, our people in the maze take advantage of the terrain and can kill more enemies.”

Ji Wenzhao smiled and said, “It’s just that they don’t necessarily come to attack the city again in a short time.”

Zhenbeihou pondered for a moment, and said: “Our main force is unharmed, but the Tugu Khan is less than a hundred thousand people. If they don’t attack, it won’t be a problem for them to spend so much time. Let’s open the door to a decisive battle.”

Ji Wenzhao shook his head hurriedly: “Master Hou, it hasn’t been two months yet, so you can wait.”

Zhenbeihou asked inexplicably: “Why do you have to wait two months”

Ji Wenzhao raised his head to look at Fang Liang: “Before the war, I made a divination, saying that the Tugu Khan army was unstable two months later, and then we could take the opportunity to attack.”

Shen Yi half-cast his eyes: You also acted as a liar!

Zhenbei Hou frowned: “How can military affairs depend on divination?”

Shen Jian said, “Master Hou, after defending the city this time, our army will also need time to rest and reorganize the army. This will take more than ten days.” So it’s Ji Wenzhao’s two-month period.

Zhenbeihou sighed: “It’s not that I don’t want to prepare well. It’s just that I haven’t been able to give news to the capital for so long, and I won’t go to war. I’m afraid the emperor thinks our army is deliberately slowing the battle…” He didn’t finish. If so, the emperor would be worried. The border still has suspicions

Ji Wenzhao said hurriedly: “It’s okay, if our army can win a big victory in the end, and then explain the tactics to the emperor, the emperor will surely get the emperor’s understanding.”

Shen Yi said: “I will not be affected by the foreign ruler’s orders…”

Zhenbeihou sternly interrupted: “Such words are not allowed to be spoken at will!”

Ji Wenzhao hurriedly finished the game: “Well, the most important thing for us now is to defeat Bei Rong. The emperor’s side, wrap it on me! I will just write a memorial at that time…”

Shen Yi and Shen Jian both looked at the sky and couldn’t stand Ji Wenzhao’s arrogance.

At this time, neither they nor the Tugu Khan knew that in Beirong, a cavalry of 5,000 men had come out of the mountain and entered the grassland area, traveling thousands of miles a day. The Tugu Khan invaded southward with all the strength of the North Rong, and the cavalry quickly approached the capital of the North Rong unimpeded. The leader is a black knight, short and thin, but everyone around him respects him.

The imperial mausoleum in the capital, the soldiers guarding the mausoleum were all packed with their luggage, and the whole team was ready to return to the capital-after the imperial forest army was dispatched, the capital was empty. Although there were only a thousand people guarding the mausoleum, in this case, the flies were small and fleshy, so they were recalled. Beijing.

The fourth prince then went to visit Wang Guoliang.

Since fighting against the flood last year, Wang Guoliang has admired this highness very much. Now he was going back to Beijing, but the palace didn’t even have the will to let the majesty go back. If Bei Rong really called, the prince’s fate would not be known. It seems that the emperor is going to give up this prince and let him fend for himself. Although the four princes were crippled, the emperor’s actions were too bad. Wang Guoliang had deep sympathy for the four princes, and when the four princes came to see him, he was very cooperative, as if he wanted to help.

After seeing the ceremony on both sides, the four princes said: “The general returns to the city, can you ask my father for me, can I go back to the city?”

Wang Guoliang’s eyes were sour, and he said that ordinary people did not treat their sons like this. Wherever the enemy came, he would not let him go home. He quickly agreed: “I must preach for your Highness.”

The fourth prince thanked him, and said: “If you can’t, don’t force it, just let someone tell me.”

Wang Guoliang said: “It will be done!” Before he left, he left a dozen people for the four princes, lest the army left and the people began to move. When Xiaoxiao came, the four princes were disabled and brought an eunuch, unable to cope with it. .

Wang Guoliang led his troops back to the city and came under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Forest Army. When he reported to the emperor, he mentioned how the four princes had blocked the imperial tomb last year and saved the imperial tomb. He also said that the four princes wanted to come back now.

The emperor really didn’t take this son in his heart. He was always angry that the fourth prince had made his face at that time. But now Bei Rong is coming, and he has to move his capital. If he openly said that he would not let the four princes come back, it would be regarded as killing people, and it would be recorded in the annals of history. The emperor nodded reluctantly: “Let him come back.”

Wang Guoliang said and led the decree, and after retiring, he sent more than a dozen people to pick up the four princes. When he arrived at the imperial tomb, the four princes heard the news, but were not in a hurry. They must clean up the manuscripts of the books in his room. He went to the capital without going back to the imperial palace. Instead, he went to his maternal grandfather’s Jiang family first, saying that he would return the book that Jiang’s family gave him. He asked the sergeants to return to the team first, so he took three or four people to live with Jiang’s house.

The sergeants came back and told Wang Guoliang, Wang Guoliangxin said that the fourth prince was really confused! How can I go to my grandma’s house without first coming to visit the emperor in the city? If the emperor knows about this, it is no wonder that the four princes went to the imperial tomb. It seems that it is a character problem! This highness will not please the emperor! Wang Guoliang didn’t dare to tell the emperor that the four princes had entered the city because he was busy with other things.

When Zhang Ding arrived at the wine cellar, there were not many people on the road. There were only volunteers with weapons in their hands. Several people came to stop them. Someone recognized Zhang Ding and let them go. By the street into the village, a bald man sat casually on a wooden pier, next to a large wine can.

Zhang Ding happily ran over: “Master! Master! It’s been a long time! Your hair has grown a lot!” The few of them have been with Xiaoyao for ten years, and called Master with Zhang Yunzheng.

Father Xiaoyao also laughed: “You little sycophant! It’s the same as before!”

Zhang Ding asked hurriedly, “Where is our son?”

Duke Xiaoyao turned his head and shouted to the volunteers on the street: “Go find that bastard… Okay, Second Young Master Zhang! Say that his little friend is here!” Someone responded.

Zhang Ding was embarrassed and said in a female voice: “Oh! What are you talking about!” He waved his hand to let his fellow travellers enter the village, sat down next to Mr. Xiaoyao, pointed at the wine jar and said, “What is this?”

Mr. Xiaoyao immediately became serious: “This is useless wine! Mine! Don’t worry about it!”

Zhang Ding laughed: “I won’t!”

Duke Xiaoyao snorted: “Who wouldn’t say’no’, I didn’t worry about it before drinking it.”

Zhang Ding came to the spirit: “It’s so good, then I have to taste…”

Zhang Yunzheng ran out of the village, and when he saw Zhang Ding he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: “It’s you!”

Zhang Ding stood up excitedly and saluted: “My son, what kind of words are so hurtful! Who do you think it is?”

Zhang Yunzheng snorted: “You kid! Looking for a fight! What are you doing here?”

Zhang Ding smiled and pulled Zhang Yunzheng aside, and whispered: “The eldest son said, there are almost 100,000 people on his side, 20,000, which is enough to fight Bei Rong, so you don’t want to stand up and look bad. Just run to him.”

Zhang Yunzheng glared: “What run! We are behind Bei Rong, and we must run to him and not pass through the army of Bei Rong. Go back and tell him, don’t make any mistakes!”

Zhang Ding hurriedly shook his hand: “I’m not going back! I haven’t eaten, drank, washed or slept for so many days! When I was a rabbit running around! I have to rest here.” The message passed, It’s really looking for a fight.

Zhang Yunzheng said: “Bei Rong will be here right away. Only a hundred people will remain here, and the others will leave today.”

Zhang Ding wowed: “Hundred people! At the border gate, at least a thousand people have been there. The son is only a hundred people here! It’s too thrilling! I have to stay, son, my relative, I want to be with you!” Zhang Ding shook his head and waved his tail. , Turned into a begging woman.

Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes. Magnolia ran behind him, and when he saw Zhang Ding, he yelled: “Clove! You are here! Great, the rose is here, we are the cuckoo!”

Zhang Ding said to Zhang Yunzheng: “Look, we have to be together for fun.”

Zhang Yunzheng looked at Magnolia: “You should go too!”

Magnolia jumped her feet: “I worked hard to write those words! Don’t leave it to see how the excitement is made.”

Zhang Yunzheng shook his head: “You have small arms and legs, you can’t move the wine can.”

Magnolia turned her head to look at Duke Xiaoyao: “Then I will be with the master, in case he gets drunk again…”

Father Xiaoyao was furious: “You kid dare to bury me!”

Zhang Yunzheng saw the wine jar next to Gong Xiaoyao, and said angrily: “Master, I’ve said several times that you can’t drink!”

Father Xiaoyao shook his hand: “I know I know! I would never drink before doing business! You unscrupulous! I came all the way to find you, but I didn’t let me drink a few sips…”

Zhang Yunzheng said angrily: “This matter is very important! This wine is easy to get drunk! How can you fail to fall off the mountain with light work when you are drunk! You will make a mistake. Otherwise, you will go with them today, and I will find someone else!”

Duke Xiaoyao was angry: “You are unruly! I am a master! I will kill you! What is wrong with me? I teach your light work!”

Zhang Ding hurriedly smiled and said, “Why don’t I help the master hold the wine jar and finish the work that the son gave to him”

Magnolia said hurriedly: “I can help hold a can.”

When Mr. Xiaoyao heard that there was an extra can of wine, he nodded and said: “You two will go with me, and leave this **** who doesn’t respect the master!”

Zhang Yunzheng still frowned: “Why do you want so much wine, don’t you know that it matters? I said…”

Duke Xiaoyao waved his hand: “Don’t listen! I’ve said it seven or eight times, my hair is gone, but my brain is still there!” He snorted and got up, and said to Zhang Ding and Yulan, “Follow me, and look for a jar of wine.” .”

Zhang Ding and Yulan had a backing, and hurriedly bowed to Zhang Yunzheng. Zhang Ding went to pick up the wine jar on the ground, and the two of them followed Xiaoyao into the village. Magnolia happily said to Zhang Ding: “You are here, tell me about border affairs.”

After all, Zhang Ding has been in the frontier for several years, and he has developed a bit of sophistication. He said as he walked: “It doesn’t matter what matters, how are you here?”

Magnolia immediately complained to Zhang Ding: “It turns out that my job is to ignite the gunpowder. You don’t know that the gunpowder is made by the son, but it is amazing! It’s just too little, only one pack, and it’s very expensive. The son said Everyone’s legs and feet are too slow, they can’t run away at all when they click, but he can’t take care of both ends. The person who fires the fire can only be saved if he has a rope tied to his waist and can be pulled upwards. I am the lightest, so I choose me to go. I light the gunpowder. In that case, I will definitely be a hero in the future! But the master will not want me when he comes, and now I want to let me go…”

Zhang Ding nodded and sighed: “It’s so ruthless!”

Mr. Xiaoyao turned his head and cursed: “What is ruthless! A bunch of useless! I want to do such an important thing as a spider! The more I think about it, the more I get scared, do you guys know what they are doing?”

Magnolia nodded vigorously: “You know, the son didn’t tell the master? He must stay here. Master, rest assured, we have been preparing for a long time…”

Xiaoyao was publicly anxious: “A bunch of bastards! No one listens to me! Who is your master! Have you knocked your head? You have learned how many hands are still the same as the original chick, which shows that I haven’t practiced well. I’m not your master, just say it. No face!”

Magnolia said, “But I have a face! When we were in the yard, when we were in the yard, no matter how many of us were not the master’s apprentices or the master’s apprentices, we should be considered Master’s apprentices.”

Duke Xiaoyao sighed: “There are still those who are vying to be grandsons, you are so good! I can’t even recognize you.”

Magnolia pouted: “You are so picky, so many people don’t want grandchildren!”

Is this the same thing? Duke Xiaoyao didn’t want to get entangled with Magnolia anymore, and exhorted: “You have to find a big wine can for me.”

Magnolia thought of her promise, she was a little bit awkward, and she stubbornly said: “I’ll work hard, now all the wine is shipped, and the rest is shipped away.”

Duke Xiaoyao became angry: “You kid! Just what you said before! Did you lie to me! What a ‘work hard’! Go and say hello to the rose on the cliff and let him keep a can for me!”

Magnolia’s horrified expression: “How can it be done! If our son knows…”

Xiaoyao hummed: “Then don’t follow me!”

Magnolia was about to cry. Zhang Ding looked at Magnolia with a crooked nose and looked at the jar in his hand to make a “watered” mouth shape. Magnolia’s eyes lit up and smiled and said to the father Xiaoyao in front of him: “Okay. , Don’t worry, I will definitely find you another can!” There are still empty cans.

Xiaoyao turned his head: “Why do I think you are suspicious?”

Zhang Ding said hurriedly, “I’m so sleepy! I want to sleep…” He opened his mouth vigorously, yawning.

Xiaoyao said: “Then you hurry up and find a room to sleep. Bei Rong should be here at the earliest tomorrow.”

Zhang Ding’s yawn went back, and looked at Duke Xiaoyao depressed: “You will wait until I finish yawning…”

Xiaoyao Gong laughed.

Zhang Ding slept beautifully, and was woken up by Yulan at noon the next day, shouting: “We have to go!”

Zhang Ding got up in a muddle, only to find that there was no saliva in the room after tidying up. He asked Magnolia: “What about the water?” Magnolia handed him a big gourd and a bag of dry food, and said: “The well is filled, I thought The house was burned, but the son said no. We cleared the village, let you sleep a little longer, and waited until the end before calling you…”

Zhang Ding followed Yulan out of the yard, only to find that the streets in the village were completely empty, only Zhang Yunzheng, a few volunteers, and Xiaoyaogong. Zhang Yunzheng was saying to Xiaoyao Gong: “…Master, be careful…”

Xiaoyao interrupted: “Don’t curse me! It’s serious to give me a tin of wine if you are not careful!” The jar of wine was still at his feet. Magnolia whispered to Zhang Ding, “I can’t even find an empty jar. …”

Zhang Yunzheng stared: “Don’t think about it!” He turned his head and said to Zhang Ding and Yulan: “Master is not allowed to drink, or you will have to set the fire.”

Yulan hurriedly hugged the wine can and said, “Don’t, there is no one to pull the rope.”

Zhang Yunzheng walked out of the quiet village with them, and walked all the way to the valley where the ambush was. Zhang Yunzheng and a few volunteers walked into the valley, and Xiaoyao took Zhang Ding and Yulan up the mountain wall at the valley mouth with Zhang Ding and Yulan from the mountain road, found a hidden place on the rocky cliff to rest, and waited for the start of the battle.

Zhang Yunzheng walked through the valley. In the valley mouth, a rope ladder was hung from the stone wall that had leveled the mountain road. Zhang Yunzheng asked the volunteers to climb up. Finally, he looked at the two-foot-high damp trees and haystacks at the valley mouth. These things are strict. Taniguchi was sealed tightly. Zhang Yunzheng lightly climbed the rock cliff and made people put away the rope. On the narrow cliff, Zhang Yunzheng once again inspected the erected bed crossbow and other weapons as well as the wooden conveying trough and other equipment. When it was dark, he set up a night guard, taking turns to watch, and the others sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, people watching from the mountain awakened everyone. Pointing to the distance, the banner of Beirong appeared among the mountains. At noon, Bei Rong’s brigade arrived in front of the valley.
