Mortal counterattack

Not only him, but also the little zombies near him turned into piles of bones. Zhou Chen in the distance turned around and left after seeing this scene.

They couldn't get out of this way. Zhao Kuo and the others didn't see this scene. After a day and a half of traveling, they finally arrived at the border city of Huwei.

The walls of Huwei City are tall, much higher than the walls of Qinghua County. As soon as everyone reached a certain range, the soldiers' inquiries came from the walls.

"Stop, what are you doing and why are you here?"

Zhou Chen did not have an official position and was unable to answer. Zhao Kuo who was beside him said, "Please report to General General Zhao Kuo, the chief arrester of Qinghua County, who has been ordered to escort supplies here."

The soldiers on the city wall looked at the carriage behind them and said, "Wait for me and I will report it right away."

Everyone waited below for about twenty minutes before the city gate opened and said, "Come in."

As soon as everyone entered the city, someone on the city wall shouted, "The enemy is attacking the city, hurry up and close the city gate."

Zhou Chen and others were quickly surrounded by officers and soldiers in the city at this time. Zhao Kuo quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong, we are really here to deliver food." He took out a letter and handed it over.

"This letter is written by the county magistrate to the general. The general will know it as soon as he sees it." After receiving the letter, Zhao Kuo and others were taken aside and under special supervision.

Not long after, he saw a burly man in armor riding a horse, followed by a large group of armored soldiers. The general casually said, "Okay, let them go, they are not spies."

Then they ignored the few people and led the people up the city wall. Their mission was completed the moment the food and supplies entered the city. Although they were treated as spies just now, the food and supplies had long been taken away by the defenders in the city. If the enemy hadn't attacked the city at this time, they could have left at this moment.

No one was paying attention to them now. Zhao Kuo and the others didn't know where they were going at the moment, so they simply went up to the city wall. They didn't see anything at all until they came up. They saw densely packed people in the distance.

At the front of the team were rows of catapults. The enemy troops came up without any nonsense and directly chose to attack the city. As the catapults were raised, stones as big as human heads flew directly towards the city wall. come over.

The soldiers guarding the city quickly squatted down to avoid being hit by the boulder. Zhao Kuo and others saw this scene for the first time. They stood there and didn't know what to do. The general roared, "You idiot, squat down quickly."

Only then did they react. After they squatted down, they heard a banging sound. The boulder hit the city wall and instantly fell apart. Fortunately, the city wall was thick and there was no damage when hit by the boulder. During this period, several boulders flew into the city. The houses in the city did not have such good defenses, and a big hole was smashed out on the spot.

Some of them hit behind Zhou Chen and the others, and the pebbles flying out from the boulders also injured many people.

Especially Zhou Chen and the others, because they didn't have armor to protect themselves, they all let out miserable screams after being hit.

After dodging this round of stone-throwing attacks, the general immediately stood up and "fired arrows."

There are rows of huge crossbow arrows placed on the city wall, and the arrows are similar to the spears of ordinary soldiers. Following the general's order, rows of arrows burst out.

From a distance, it seemed that a large number of enemy troops were shot down by crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows were so powerful that they could not withstand them even if they were wearing armor, and they shot through several people with one arrow.

At this time, the enemy's catapults were ready again, and the boulders were flying towards them again. The soldiers in the city once again bent down and hid.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Kuo wanted to go down with the soldiers who came with him, but at this time, boulders were flying everywhere, and they had no chance to go down at all.

After an hour of siege, the enemy finally stopped attacking the city. At this time, a burly man wearing armor came to the city on horseback.

"Do you dare to come down and fight me, Old Wangtou?"

The old Wangtou is Wang Yong, the general guarding the city, and the shouting guy is the enemy general named Sun Wu.

Wang Yong frowned slightly, "Sun Wu, do you think I will be fooled by you? If you have the ability, you will come to attack the city. If you don't, you will go back early."

Zhou Chen looked at Wang Yong, and then looked at Sun Wu under the city wall. Wang Yong's strength was much stronger than Sun Wu's. Sun Wu's strength reached 890, while Wang Yong's was only 850.

"Huh, I guess you just don't have the guts." He picked up the spear in his hand and threw it at Wang Yong. Although he only used his hands and did not use other tools, it could be judged from the sound of the spear breaking through the air that this blow was The power is great.

Wang Yong raised his spear to resist, and the two spears collided. Wang Yong's spear bent in an arc, and at the same time changed the flight trajectory of Sun Wu's spear.

Although the flight path was changed, the spear flew towards Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo was so frightened that he quickly retreated. Although the power of the spear had been reduced a lot at this time, it was not something that a ninth-grade warrior like him could withstand. .

Zhao Kuo kept retreating until he came to the edge of the city wall and had no choice but to retreat. "My life is over now," he said, slowly closing his eyes.

Guard general Wang Yong would not care about the life and death of a mere arrester, and Zhou Chen would not care about Zhao Kuo's life or death.

Just when the spear was about to pierce Zhao Kuo's head, Zhou Chen came to him and held the head of the spear with both hands, taking the blow for him.

Zhao Kuo waited for a long time and felt nothing, so he tried to open his eyes and found Zhou Chen standing in front of him.

"Brother Zhou, thank you."

"This gun is good," he said, throwing away the many spears in his hand.

Wang Yong turned his head and looked at it, and was surprised, "I didn't expect that there would be such a master in the grain transport team."

He turned his head again and found that Sun Wu had returned to his team. After returning, Sun Wu did not continue to attack the city, but chose to retreat.

Seeing the enemy retreat, the soldiers on the wall cheered. Zhao Kuo calmed down at this time. Seeing the enemy retreat, he hurried forward and said, "General Wang, since the enemy has retreated, we have also delivered the supplies, so we should go back. Lord Xia is still waiting for us to go back and recover our eyesight."

Zhou Chen also understood his mood. It was too dangerous here. Zhou Chen didn't want to stay for a long time. Wang Yong looked at Zhou Chen and said, "Everyone has come from afar and worked hard. In my opinion, you should rest in the city for one night and leave tomorrow. It's just right that I will hold a banquet to welcome you tonight." Then he turned around and went down the wall without waiting for Zhao Kuo to speak.

Zhao Kuo's eyes darkened, but there was no way. Without Wang Yong's order, they would definitely not be able to leave, so they had to choose to rest in the city for a day.

Huwei City is a town specially used to guard the border. There are no ordinary people in it except the garrison troops. Although the houses in the city are simple, the mansions of the garrisons are extremely luxurious.

At this time, ten tables of wine and food were set up in the courtyard. Zhao Kuo and Wang Yong sat on the first seat. In addition to Wang Yong, Zhou Chen and Zhao Kuo, there were also several deputy generals of Wang Yong at this table.

Wang Yong looked at Zhou Chen and asked, "I wonder what this little brother's name is?" Zhou Chen quickly stood up and said, "I am Zhou Chen."

Wang Yong raised his wine glass and toasted Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen didn't know Wang Yong's temper and couldn't refuse. He raised the wine glass and took a sip.

Wang Yong said directly, "I am a rough man and I won't beat around the bush. Today I see that Brother Zhou is good at fighting. I wonder if he is willing to join my army. If he is willing, I promise to let Brother Zhou be a deputy general immediately. How about it?"
