The battle of Yingtao had been going on for more than an hour.
The stones on the top of the city were almost gone. The archers kept shooting arrows, and their arms were sore and swollen, and they gradually felt exhausted.
The situation at the other gates was not optimistic either.
The sergeant just reported that a young general who attacked the west gate was extremely brave and led the troops to climb the ladder. The man was flexible and agile as a swallow. He not only dodged the rain of arrows, but also avoided the stones. He almost climbed up the city.
In the end, the soldiers sprinkled kerosene, and the man had to retreat.
But the man jumped down from the tower several feet high, and he was not hurt at all!
Hearing this, Dong Zhao was secretly shocked and immediately transferred another 300 archers to the west gate.
The most critical one was the east gate. There were more than 20,000 bandits attacking the east gate, and there were siege equipment such as ladders and battering rams. Dong Zhao couldn't help but worry deeply.
"Report! My Lord, the East Gate is in danger! The battering ram is approaching the city. County Magistrate Jiang asks you to support us quickly!"
"Order the remaining 400 soldiers to support the East Gate. Even if we fight to the last soldier, we must defend it!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers left in a hurry.
Dong Zhao looked at the stalemate under the city and clenched his fists tightly.
Is it really impossible to defend it today?
It's a pity that this useful body has not met a wise master yet. Will it be buried for this corrupt Han Dynasty court today?
Dong Zhao was deeply unwilling in his heart.
He was selected as a filial and honest official and served as the magistrate of Yantao County, guarding the people. But when it comes to the Han Dynasty court, he is full of disappointment.
The emperor of a dynasty openly sold official positions and titles, which has never happened before. The officials who took office were all corrupt and exploited the people.
They exploited the people and made all kinds of excuses. He turned a blind eye to the rebellion and let the "Huangtian Holy Religion" grow gradually... There are so many such things.
How could such a court and such an officialdom deserve his loyalty?
But how good could those rebels under the city be? How could a famous scholar like me serve the rebels?
Forget it, even if it is for the people of the city, I will die today when the city is broken!
In such a big world, when will a hero who can save the people from the water and fire appear?
I am afraid that I will never see it in this lifetime...
At this moment, a cloud of dust rose in the distance!
Dong Zhao was slightly startled, and looking far away, he saw that a team of elite cavalry seemed to appear in the rolling dust.
In a flash, the team of elite cavalry had galloped over, and there was a big "Zhang" on the flag!
Dong Zhao's face was ashen.
It's over, the rebels still have backup, and I will die today!
Unexpectedly, the next second, the two young generals led by the elite cavalry rushed into the enemy camp, their guns flying, and in a moment they broke through a gap!
Dong Zhao couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The sergeant beside him said excitedly: "Sir! Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!"
Reinforcements? !
Are the reinforcements really coming?
Dong Zhao seemed to not believe his eyes.
Gong Yu did mention in the letter that the magistrate of Guangping County would send troops to support, but he didn't care. After all, he had already seen clearly what kind of people the magistrates of neighboring counties were.
Before the war, he said that reinforcements would come, but he just wanted to stabilize the morale of the army.
Unexpectedly, reinforcements really came.
By the way, Gong Yu seemed to have said that the magistrate of Guangping County was called Zhang Chen, Zhang Zifan?
Dong Zhao's eyes lit up immediately.
"Soldiers, reinforcements have arrived, keep shooting arrows, don't let the enemy army climb the city!"
For a moment, the morale of the soldiers and civilians on the city was greatly boosted.
Zhang Niujiao heard the shouting and killing behind him, and felt something was wrong. Looking back, he saw that a group of elite cavalry had appeared behind him at some point, and the number of people was no less than 5,000.
Zhang Niujiao secretly said that it was not good. Most of his side were infantry, and after repeated sieges, more than 2,000 people had been lost. How could he resist thousands of elite cavalry?
The North Gate was originally just to disperse the defenders in the city. As for the main event, it was still at the East Gate, so there was no need to fight with them.
But it had been so long. If the East Gate was broken, the tower would not be so quiet. Could there be something wrong?
Zhang Niujiao was suspicious. He didn't know what happened to the East Gate, but Bai Rao and Sui Gu had 20,000 troops. It shouldn't be that they couldn't take down a city gate?
What's more, he had planted an insider in the city. According to the agreement, once the two sides fought, the inner support would open the city gate. Why has there been no movement until now?
Zhang Niujiao felt uneasy, but he knew that he had to delay this cavalry team to buy time for Bai Rao and Sui Gu.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Chen and Zhang He who were coming towards him.
Seeing that both of them were young generals, Zhang Niujiao was secretly happy, raised his sword and jumped on his horse to rush towards Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen was rushing to kill, and suddenly felt a murderous aura. It turned out that Zhang Niujiao had arrived and stabbed him with a sword.chopped down from the face.
Zhang Chen hurriedly reined in his horse and raised his spear to meet him.
With a "clang" sound, the blade hit the spear, and Zhang Chen suddenly felt a huge force pressing down, like a mountain pressing down on his head, and both arms were numb from the shock.
What a strong man!
Zhang Chen was shocked and quickly activated the "Eye of Insight" and looked at the man.
[Name: Zhang Niujiao]
[Owned entries: Dafangqushuai (purple), Infinite Strength (purple), Skilled in Swordsmanship (blue), Skilled in Horsemanship (blue)]
Not bad!
This Zhang Niujiao is really good!
Zhang Niujiao was also shocked at this time. The young general in front of him could actually block his attack! Moreover, his arms were also numb from the shock at this moment, which showed that the opponent's strength was not weaker than his own.
Zhang Niujiao shouted, "Who are you? Why are you attacking my troops!"
Zhang Chen said coldly, "Zhang Zifan, the magistrate of Guangping County, has come to suppress the bandits!"
Hearing this, Zhang Niujiao was shocked: "You are the magistrate of Guangping County who defeated Yu Du, Zhang Chen, Zhang Zifan?"
Zhang Chen shouted, "It is me, you thief, why don't you surrender quickly!"
"Okay, okay, I haven't come to find you yet, but you come to my door. It's just in time. Take my knife!" Zhang Niujiao said, and chopped again.
Zhang Chen raised his gun to meet him and fought with him.
Zhang Chen has the entry of [Expert in Spearmanship], which is at the same level as Zhang Niujiao's [Expert in Knifemanship]. In terms of strength, both of them have the entry of [Infinite Strength], which is also the same.
Therefore, the two fought for dozens of rounds, and it was difficult to tell who was the winner.
Seeing that it was difficult to tell who was better, Zhang Chen immediately used the "Hand of Plunder" to steal the opponent's entry. As long as he could snatch the entry of [Infinite Strength], Zhang Niu Jiao would be defeated by him!
Unexpectedly, the next second, a prompt came from his ear.
[Ding! Plunder failed! ]
Failed? !
Zhang Chen was shocked. How could he fail?
Although the system had said before that plundering entries was not 100% successful, he had never encountered a failure.
What was going on?
"System? System!" Zhang Chen shouted in his heart.
[Ding! Because the opponent's strength was equal to the host's, the host could not plunder the opponent's entry! ]
The system seemed to understand what Zhang Chen was thinking and gave a simple answer immediately.
So that's it!
That's right, those whose entries he had plundered before were indeed inferior to him in strength!
