Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 210 Please Offer Your Head (4K6)

Under the cover of the Yan brothers, Ji Sheng and other good shooters, the Lu army's aid vehicles finally approached the city wall.

Under the city wall, Bianyi's disciples ignored the arrow rain and the attack of rocks, and ventured out of the baffle bunker. The rope on the rescue vehicle was lowered instantly, and the disciples below immediately took the rope, blushing and exhausted all their strength. drag and drop.

Dozens of people shouted together: "Bianzi help me!!!"

As soon as the words fell, the two long ladders on the hook aid cart were turned over and pulled out. The thick long ladder was pressed down towards the top of the city like Mount Tai, crushing the battlements of Yangzhou. The iron hook at the front end of the long ladder was like Breaking open the bricks and tiles of the city like a tiger's claws, and firmly embedded in it.

Seeing this, Ran Meng, a retainer of the Meng clan who was leading the chariot charging forward, pulled out his sword from his waist and shouted: "All soldiers, charge with me!"

After Ran Meng said this, he took the lead in climbing on the rescue vehicle, stepped on the long ladder and rushed to the top of the city.

Seeing this situation, Ji Qiu Zikai immediately ordered: "Go up the rolling log! Don't let the Lu army ascend the city!"

When the order was issued, the Qi army at the head of the city immediately dispatched several people. They hugged and held up the log that had been prepared, and threw it onto the long ladder against the rain of arrows shot down by the Lu army's approaching vehicle.

The log rolled down the long ladder, instantly knocking down dozens of pioneer warriors who were climbing up the ladder.

The rolling log rushed in front of Ran Meng, Ran Meng was terrified when he saw this, he quickly let go of his weapon, and stretched his arms forward to resist.

He raised his fists and smashed on the log, and let out a loud shout: "Whoa!!!"

The tendency of the log to fall suddenly slowed down, Ran Meng stepped back a few steps, and the soldiers of the Lu army who followed hurriedly stretched out their hands to help him stabilize his body, seven or eight of them worked together, and finally blocked Qi's rolling log half way.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, another log came rushing forward.

There was only a loud bang, and the last log hit the front one. The huge impact was transmitted to Ran Meng's arms through the tiger's mouth, and then spread to the soldiers of the Lu army who were supporting Ran Meng one after another.

Several people were unprepared, and their arms were numb from the shock.

They only felt the blood in their chests rushing, their mouths suddenly tasted sweet, and they suddenly spurted out a long mouthful of blood.

Then he fell from the long ladder and hit the solid ground heavily, causing a cloud of dust to rise all around.

But Ran Meng still held on tightly, and saw that his eyes were tearing apart, and his usually mighty face was distorted and almost deformed by the pain.

His teeth were clenched and his lips were tightly shut, but even so, no trace of black blood could escape from the corners of his mouth.

Just when he felt that he was about to be unable to support himself, suddenly, he heard heavy and hurried footsteps behind him.

A pair of generous big hands stretched out from behind him, firmly pressed on the rolling log, and the pressure on Ran Meng was relieved by most of it.

Ran Meng turned his head to look beside him, and found that it was an extremely familiar face.

The person who came was his elder brother Ran Hui who was also famous for his bravery in the country of Lu.

He couldn't help but want to hug his head and cry.

"Brother, I'm afraid!!!"

Ran Hui had two arrows stuck in his left arm, and the wound was continuously bleeding out.

But this did not shake his will to block the log, Ran Hui took a deep breath, and told his younger brother in a deep voice.

"A man, I only hate that I was born at an untimely time, that I didn't meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, that I couldn't make an inch of merit in life, and that I couldn't make a fortune in death.

Now I am ordered to go up first, if I give up halfway, I will return safely!Who is not dead, how cowardly!

fierce!Is today the time to cry?Quickly wipe away your tears, climb up from me first, and open up a bloody path for the army! "

After Ran could speak, he looked up to the sky and drank, his voice was like a red bird chirping in the southern wilderness, and his ambition was like a blue dragon singing in the East China Sea.

"If the whole family can be enshrined in the ten thousand generations, and the name can be honored in the bamboo and silk, a man, even if he dies!!!"

As soon as these words came out, Ran Hui started to climb up with difficulty bearing the weight of two rolling logs.

Zaiyu witnessed this scene in the car, and couldn't help singing: "How brave is Ran Zi!"

Encouraged by Ran Hui, the siege Lu army's morale, which had been depressed by the rolling logs, rose again.

They followed Ran Hui closely, held up their shields beside him, and blocked the flow of arrows for him.

Ran Meng also regained his courage, rushed forward regardless of the severe pain in his body, and pushed forward together with his elder brother against the rolling log.

At this moment, Lu Jun's car rushed up the flying bridge and approached the city wall of Yangzhou.

Zaiyu turned around and asked Shen Shun next to him, "Zi Zhou, I will leave the rest to you!"

Shen Ying sensed something wrong from Jae Yu's words, and he hurriedly asked, "My son, what do you want to do?"

Zai Yu held his armor and raised his sword, shouting loudly.

"I've heard that a real man thinks of propriety when he moves, and righteousness when he acts. There is no one who violates propriety and righteousness and can complete his body and name.

I swore an oath in front of Bian Zi to avenge him and return his name.

Now that Bian Zi's bones are still cold, and the words of the past are still ringing in my ears, how dare I break my vows and break my righteousness? "

Shen Jian heard the words and hurriedly persuaded: "My son, you can't! As the vanguard commander, how can you put yourself in danger?"

But Zaiyu obviously didn't listen to his advice, he shouted loudly: "Descend the ladder!"

With Zai Yu's order, a long ladder stretched out from the four adjacent carriages, stretching from the high platform of the carriage to the head of Yangzhou City.

Zai Yu shouted: "Destroy the front and fight against the enemy, and all the kings will fight for the first honor! Second and third sons, I will be the first to defeat the enemy!"

After saying that, Zaiyu took the lead to step on the ladder.

Shen Jian saw that he couldn't change his will, so he gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "The bows and crossbows of the front army, shoot to both sides, cover the doctor and move forward!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw another stalwart figure rushing out after Jae Yu.

Shen Jian hurriedly yelled: "Zi Lu, why are you..."

Zilu didn't have time to argue with Shen Jian, he just stared at him: "My son, I treat all people with courtesy and righteousness, how can I abandon him!"

After finishing speaking, Zilu shouted to the armored soldier behind him again: "The first climber, follow me to help Dr. Tuqiu!"

Zaiyu carries the sharp sword that Mo Xie forged for him, even though it walks on the ladder, it is still as fast as the wind.

Ji Sheng, Yan Xi, Yan Gao and other good archers killed the surrounding Qi archers one by one for him, and the Qi army's rolling logs could not be used due to the height difference between the adjacent chariot and the city wall.

Therefore, they could only send soldiers to wait under the ladder in advance, ready to hack Zaiyu to death as soon as he arrived.

Before Zaiyu reached the end of the line, he took out the sealed clay pot that had been in his hand for a long time, and threw it towards the Qi people's army formation in front.

And the Tuqiu soldiers behind him followed Jae Yu's example and threw out the pots one by one.

There was only the sound of cracking earthen pots, and for a while, the city of Yangzhou was filled with a pungent smell.

Seeing such a situation, Ji Sheng immediately pulled out an arrow from the quiver, dipped it in the tar jar beside him, lighted it with a torch, and then aimed at the city wall with breathless concentration, and released the arrow!
The arrows fell impartially between the soaked bricks and tiles at the top of Yangzhou City, and the fire suddenly rose into the sky. The tongue of the flames was wrapped in thick black smoke and flew into the sky, as if to burn everything in the world to ashes.

The sudden fire caused the Qi army to be in chaos.

Seeing that the Lu army ahead was about to break through, Ji Qiu Zikai felt cold sweat protruding from his head.

He stared at Zaiyu who was charging forward, and shouted loudly: "Bring my bow!"

But Zaiyu didn't know that he had been targeted by the god of Qi. He jumped into the gap between Qi's army, slashed to death the warrior in front of him with his sword, and flew out to kill the man next to him. The panicked soldiers of the Qi army were thrown into the raging fire.

The Qi army was about to rush forward and take off Zaiyu's head.

But the Lu army that ascended the city was already unstoppable, and the Tuqiu soldiers were all brave and fearless.

They jumped to Zaiyu's side one after another as if they were desperate for their lives, and used their flesh and blood to guard their lord inside.

Bianyi's disciples followed closely behind. Although their equipment was not as sophisticated as the Tuqiu soldiers, they were determined to avenge Bian Zhuangzi. Even though they were injured in many places, they could not make them feel timid.

With the help of Bianyi's disciples, the Tuqiu soldiers led by Zaiyu quickly gained a foothold in the city of Yangzhou, and began to gradually expand the scope of control.

As their threat gradually increased, the soldiers who boarded the city from the other three vehicles also made breakthroughs.

The city of Yangzhou was destroyed everywhere, and the pressure on the rescue vehicles led by Ran Hui and Ran Meng dropped instantly.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Qi army, the Lu army's chariots arrived at the city gate of Yangzhou smoothly. Under the command of Gongshan Buxuan, they were struggling to hit the city gate blocked by the Qi people with earth and rocks.

Zaiyu's armor was cut several times, but the fire and blood helped him cover up the pain on his body. He raised his long sword and was about to end the life of the next enemy...

Suddenly, a cold arrow came and hit him on the shoulder.

Zaiyu couldn't deal with it in time, he couldn't help but let go of his right hand, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Qi Army who were so frightened that their faces paled could not help but smile. They picked up the long dagger in their hands and stabbed it towards Zaiyu's throat.

Unexpectedly, before Chang Ge arrived, he felt a huge force coming from his left waist, and his whole body was like a fallen leaf in the wind being kicked away, flying over the top of the city and falling to the ground under the wall with a bang.

Jai Yu turned his head while clutching his bleeding shoulder, and it was his senior brother Zilu who helped him.

Zilu's eyes were like tigers and leopards, he turned his head with frowning eyebrows, looked at the person who shot the arrow in the distance, and cursed loudly.

"Thief, how dare you hurt my brother Zhongyou!"

Zilu's roar spread far away, and Ji Qiu Zikai's face changed in fright.

He glanced at the city of Yangzhou, which was engulfed in flames. Hearing the increasingly manic shouts in his ears, he finally put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and said to the sergeant beside him.

"The enemy has already entered the city, and we seem to be unable to resist. In seven days, I can be regarded as worthy of the trust of the son of the country. Now, I can prepare to leave."

He was about to go down the tower, but suddenly there were several angry shouts in his ears.

"Doctor! The person who shot you just now was Qi general Qiu Zifei!"

Jiqiu Zikai turned his head to look, and saw that Zaiyu had picked up the sharp sword on the ground, and was pointing at him with the tip of the sword, ordering his subordinates to speak.

"Anyone who can obtain the corpse of Qiu Zijiao and avenge Bianzi, I will reward him with an acre of land and a lot of money, and recommend him to the king in person as a scholar!"

With national enemies and family hatred in front, and financial interests in the back, the soldiers of the Lu army, no matter how brave or courageous they are, all broke out with amazing combat power.

However, Ji Qiu Zifei didn't have much fighting spirit at all. The reason why he stayed in Yangzhou was to help Guoxia delay for a while and prevent the main force of the Qi army from being encircled by Lu and Jin.

Hearing Zaiyu's order, he couldn't help being frightened, and hurriedly ran away.

But how could Zaiyu let him get what he wanted? When he saw Ji Qiuzi wanted to run away, he just yelled loudly: "Ji Qiuzi abandoned the city and ran away! Jiqiu Ziyu abandoned the city and fled!"

When the soldiers of the Lu army heard this, they also shouted: "Jiqiu Zikai abandoned the city and fled!"

As soon as these words came out, the Qi army, who still had some remaining will to fight, couldn't help turning their heads to look at the tower. They found that the commander was missing, and the tower that was full of people standing just now was empty at the moment.

Seeing this, even the brave ones will inevitably feel some despair in their hearts.

And those with weaker courage even put down their weapons and knelt down on the ground.

"I'm waiting for my wish! I'm waiting for my wish!"

When Ji Qiu Zikai heard Lu Jun yelling for him to abandon the city and flee, he couldn't help feeling a little angry.

Just as he was about to go back to fight again, he happened to see the scene of Qi soldiers surrendering in front of him, so he could only sigh angrily: "Hey! That's all! It's too late!"

He led his subordinates to rush down the city tower quickly, and came to the carriage that had been prepared early in the morning, and was about to board the carriage and escape.

Suddenly there was an angry shout from above his head: "Thief, where are you running!"

Before Ji Qiu Zikai could react, he was thrown to the ground by the giant man who fell from the sky, crushing him tightly.

The person who came was none other than Yan Gao, the Lu army's good shooter who had amazed Zaiyu earlier.

And Yan Xi, who had just climbed the city wall, saw his elder brother fighting Jiqiu Zikai desperately, and wanted to jump off the city wall anxiously.

But he took a look at the five or six feet high city wall, and finally withdrew this bold idea.

He anxiously asked his companion beside him, "How did my brother get down just now?"

The companion hurriedly replied: "He jumped on the houses under the city first, and then went down."

Yan Xi suddenly realized when he heard the words: "My brother has such great wisdom!"

After saying that, Yan Xi took a few steps back, and then took a few steps to run up, jumped up, and with his arms around his knees, he fell towards the houses in the city like a cannonball.

Immediately, there was only a bang, and there was a hole in the roof of the houses below the city, and there were still strands of dust blowing out from inside.

"It's not good! Yan Xi fell from the building!"

Jai Yu was holding his shoulder in pain, but when he saw Yan Xi's series of movements, he was so shocked that he forgot the pain, but couldn't help but sigh.

"Using your body as an arrow? Taking your life as an arrow? When you are so fierce and courageous, you should be a cannon in the world!"

But as soon as he finished sighing, he saw that Yan Gao and Jiqiu Zijiao had already wrestled under the city, neither of them had any weapons in their hands, they just simply fought with strength.

The two rolled and wrestled for a while, while the soldiers of the Qi army gathered around with long daggers and short swords in their hands. No one dared to draw their swords lightly, for fear of accidentally injuring Ji Qiuzi.

Seeing this, Zai Yu made a decisive decision and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, Yan Zi, I will help you!"

Tuqiu soldiers put down the rope ladder one after another, and Zaiyu and Zilu led the way down the city wall.

Ji Sheng, on the other hand, stood on the wall and kept firing arrows to intimidate the Qi army around Yan Gao, preventing them from approaching easily.

Zaiyu and Zilu had just arrived at the base of the city, and before they had gone far, they saw the door of a private house on the side of the road being pulled open, and Yan Xi, who was limping, stepped out of it.

Jai Yu and the others were startled by him.

"Is Yan Zi safe?"

Yan Xi just said anxiously: "Don't worry, doctor, it's important to save my elder brother!"

While they were talking, Zilu had already led a group of soldiers to fight the surrounding Qi army.

Yan Gao's back had already been cut several times, his arms were covered with bloody scars, and his head and head were covered with the blood spilled from the beating by the Qi people.

His consciousness has been blurred, but his arms are like knots tightly locked on Ji Qiuzi's throat, and he refuses to let go no matter what.

Jiqiu Zikai rolled his eyes outwards, flew his elbows, and kept hitting Yan Gao's abdomen, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

A mouthful of blood gushed out of Yan Gao's mouth, spit it all over Ji Qiu Zi's face, and choked into his mouth and nose.

Jiqiu Zikai lost his sight and couldn't see the changes in the outside world clearly. He kept groping the ground with his hands, trying to find a weapon to end Jie Yangao's life.

Finally, he touched the hilt of the sword, a glimmer of hope for survival suddenly appeared in his heart, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

But just when he was about to pick up the long sword on the ground, a foot firmly stepped on his palm, preventing him from moving forward an inch.

A tall figure appeared in front of Jiqiu Zijiao, blocking the sunlight shining on his face.

"Ah!!!!" Jiqiu Ziyu yelled in pain, "Who is it? Who is it!!!"

He heard the loud sound of the long sword being unsheathed, and the sound of a cold and stern voice.

"Doctor Tuqiu, Zaiyu!"

A cold light flashed, two spots of blood, one life.

The general of Qi, who was born in Qiuzi, was conferred the head.
