Chapter 541 OK, I'll Go
Ma Shuo died, and the original plan to use Ma Shuo to control Ma Guogong was also ruined.

Sun Tian felt guilty for not keeping Ma Shuo safe. He really didn't expect that other than himself, there were people who wanted Ma Shuo's life.

"General, what shall we do?" Sun Tian asked Xie Yuan with guilt gray and panic on his face in the firelight.

Xie Yuan looked frosty and said:
"Put Ma Shuo at the gate of Ma's house, turn into a wedge formation and rush out to take advantage of the chaos, and go to the west gate to meet the city defense battalion entering the city."

As soon as Sun Tian heard this, he immediately greeted the commanding banner soldiers.

The two cavalrymen on horseback ran to the head and tail separately, waving the semaphore.

During this process, Sun Tian and another soldier quickly placed Ma Shuo on the ground in front of Ma's house, then ran back immediately and got on the horse.

Xie Yuan took a look around the encirclement, found a weak position where the infantry was the main one, and the leader was hesitant. He raised the long sword in his hand and rushed over.

Seeing the order, the commanding soldiers immediately blew the attack horn, and immediately the entire bodyguard team seemed to be alive, and "crashed" attacked in one direction.

Those infantrymen who were already terrified and didn't know how to be good, saw the fierce cavalry rushing towards them, subconsciously lost the courage to resist, and hurriedly hid aside.

Those who were slow to hide were cut down by the cavalry like mowing grass, and the more they hid, the bigger the hole was easily torn open.

At this time, their commander was entangled by Duke Ma, so how could they have a chance to give orders?
Shi Ji thought that he would be able to kill Ma Guogong with two swords, and then he could let the imperial army obey his command and focus on besieging and killing Xie Yuan.

But who would have thought that Ma Guogong, who was nearly sixty years old, was actually more powerful than he imagined. The two had a relationship, and not only did he not take advantage of it, but he almost died in his hands because of carelessness!
Shi Ji clutched the wound on his arm, regretful in his heart, this time the situation reversed instantly, not only did not subdue Ma Guogong's people, but also caused his own side to fight among themselves.Let Xie Yuan and the others take advantage of the chaos to have a chance to break through!
hateful! ...Obviously as long as the siege is ordered decisively, and the follow-up reinforcements are still rushing over, there is absolutely no possibility of failure!

The more Shi Ji thought about it, the angrier he became, and he said angrily:

"Beloved slave! Your son is already dead, and his mother is insane! The most urgent thing is to kill Jieyuan. Your son died because of him!"

Ma Guogong is getting old after all, and he tried his best in a fit of anger, and was a little exhausted.He was holding his sword, panting heavily.

The people around him were protecting him, and they were fighting in a mess. He stood among the chaotic crowd, the flames were in a state of chaos, his dark face had an unhealthy rosiness, and his family members were crying miserably in his ears. Howl.

He felt extremely sad, looked at Shi Ji and said:

"I'm old, but I'm not stupid. You want to climb up on the corpse of my Ma family?! Don't think about it."

After saying that, he raised his knife and rushed over.

The two fought again. The light was dim and chaotic. From time to time, torches fell on the ground, and some people burned their clothes by the torches, howling and rolling on the ground.

Shi Ji stepped on the dead body with one foot. He was unsteady and almost fell under the knife of the opponent's soldiers. He quickly took two steps back and hid among his own people.

Suddenly, someone pushed him from behind, and he rushed out again, just bumping into the knife of Duke Ma who rushed over.

I saw Ma Guogong's face was covered with blood, and his face was extremely ferocious. He slashed at his face with a knife gnashing his teeth. The fire was like a ghost crawling out of hell.

He raised his knife to block it, but it was too late...

Ma Guogong cut Shi Ji in one fell swoop, and made another knife and another knife with all his strength, as if he wanted to tie Shi Ji's neck into a meat paste.

If it wasn't for the people beside him rushing out to protect him, he would have died under someone else's sword because he was too devoted.

Shi Ji died, he straightened up and staggered two steps back, then turned around in a daze, looking for his son's body.

At this time, one of the imperial guards loyal to him raised Shi Ji's head and shouted loudly:

"Shi Ji is dead, stop it! Stop it!!!"

The turmoil within the Forbidden Army finally stopped.Everyone raised their knives at a loss, and they were clearly divided into two groups.

Of course, the people on Shi Ji's side panicked even more. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Ma Guogong didn't care about this, he went straight to his son's side.

The female relatives wept around Ma Shuo's body.Seeing Ma Guogong approaching, everyone quickly moved away, leaving only Ma Shuo's biological mother and his wife.

"Grandpa, hurry up and save our son, save him."

But Ma Shuo was shot in the back of the heart, how could he be saved?Ma Guogong looked at his son's face and finally cried bitterly.

At this moment, a cavalryman ran over from a distance, shouting while running:

"Report!!! The west city gate has been broken, and the city defense battalion has entered the city!!"

When everyone heard about it, they all turned their heads to look at Ma Guogong, but Ma Guogong just hugged his son's head and cried bitterly without any reaction.

Seeing this situation, several trusted generals who had been following Ma Guogong could not help but show disappointment on their faces.

The man they once admired and followed is old... although they knew that he had changed, because he doted on his only son, was narrow-minded, partial and trustworthy, and made enemies everywhere.

But...it was only today, at this juncture, that they truly realized that the people they followed were really old...

And they have no hope.

……

……

Zhang Qing received a series of messages:

Ma Guogong and Shi Ji fought each other, Shi Ji died, and Ma Shuo died.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Xie Yuan highlighted the encirclement of the forbidden army and rushed to the west gate. He killed several reinforcements along the way. He had already reached the gate of the city and was taking control of the west gate.

Zhang Qing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, glanced at Shen Liuzhen and said:

"We have someone at the west city gate who can help open the city gate. You can go now. As long as the city defense battalion enters the capital, the victory will be decided, and General Xie will win."

Shen Liuzhen's heart skipped a beat twice, and he glanced at the direction of the dungeon again.

Zhang Qing knew what he was thinking and said:
"General Xie wins, then I won't be able to step down from this position, you can go away at ease!"

Afraid that he was not convincing enough, Zhang Qing added: "If you don't believe me, you should trust General Xie."

Shen Liuzhen thought: I am so afraid because of her, how can I believe it?
But... Xie Yuan wants to settle the score, and he will definitely not let Yi Shan go. If he doesn't leave now, when Xie Yuan is free, if he finds out the truth again, I don't know if he will turn his back on him and chop him off.

Rather than waiting for her to settle accounts with him face to face, it's better to run away and let her have a chance to calm down.

Shen Liuzhen rolled his eyes, licked his lips nervously, and said helplessly:

"Okay... I'll go."
