In the dream, there are vague tears of loving mother, and the king's flag changes on the city wall. -------Lu Xun's "Seven Rhymes Untitled"
Chen Long stepped into the bedroom, and Tao Hua screamed happily and threw herself into Chen Long's arms. Chen Long held Tao Hua in his arms distressedly. Seeing Tao Hua's clear face, there was gradually a blush. Zhang Ning snorted softly and turned his face away from the intimate pair of mandarin ducks. Taohua said happily: "Husband, I feel better. Thank you for finding me such a good doctor as Mei Niang." Chen Long stroked Tao Hua's black hair and said with a smile, "Of course, if Mei Niang takes action, the medicine will be delivered." Get rid of the disease." Zhang Ning couldn't bear to see them flirting, so she turned around and walked out of the house. Taohua grabbed her and broke out of Chen Long's arms.
In front of Mei Niang, Tao Hua was embarrassed to be too intimate with Chen Long and refused to ignore Zhang Ning, so she said that everyone should go see Huang Gai together, and she and Mei Niang walked out of the room hand in hand. The sun was shining brightly outside the house, and the servant happened to come and ask everyone to come to the dining room for lunch, so the two women went chatting and laughing. Chen Long followed behind, and he couldn't help but admire the backs of the two of them. One was exquisite and plump, and the other was tall and slender. They were indeed Chunlan Qiuju, each good at winning. Suddenly, I felt that the comparison was a bit obscene, and my heart started to beat wildly.
The more Chen Long followed, the more embarrassed he became. He wanted to gouge out his own eyes. Fortunately, the Xuan Hall was not far away. Huang Gai had already personally greeted him. He laughed loudly when he saw Chen Long and said, "Brother, thanks to your clever trick, I captured Liu Min. Otherwise, I would have suffered the loss." You're here!" Chen Long said overjoyed: "Third brother, are you well?" Huang Gai nodded and said, "It's okay, Xing Daorong didn't torture us." Seeing that Mei Niang didn't recognize her, he quietly asked, "This is it." Is that the beautiful doctor my mother was talking about?" Zhang Ning heard it from the front and turned around to glare at Huang Gai. Huang Gai shrank his neck in fright, turned to Chen Long and said: "What an amazing girl!"
Chen Long smiled bitterly and said, "Don't mess with her. I've always stayed away from her. It's thanks to her that Taohua's condition recovered so quickly." Zhang Ning is the secret of the Yellow Turban Saint, and Chen Long decided to die in his stomach. Otherwise, if the news is leaked, who knows what will happen. If Zhang Ning is caught, then he will become a villain through and through. Not to mention the Huang family and Taohua, even the entire Lingling City will suffer crazy revenge from the Yellow Turban Army.
Huang Gai asked as he walked: "Brother, I don't know how the battle is going in Beicheng. How about you and I go to the city in the afternoon to help second brother defend the city? I'm fine. They definitely need manpower." Chen Long's face became even more bitter. He stood outside the hall, put his arm around Huang Gai's shoulders, and said, "Third brother, I talked with your father all night yesterday, and we both thought Liu Du was not someone to follow. You don't know something, brother, I can tell you You were successfully rescued because you and the Yellow Turbans reached an agreement not to help each other. Of course, the condition also includes preserving Liu Xian's life." As he explained the process of exchanging hostages, Huang Gai frowned and thought for a long time before he understood. Chen Long meant not to take action himself, so he couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Brother, if I don't show up when the Yellow Turban retreats, I won't be able to eat and just walk away. Prefect Liu will definitely punish our family."
Chen Long shook his head and sighed: "The Yellow Turban Army alone has Zhang Mancheng's siege force of one hundred thousand, and they are all truly elite soldiers. I am afraid that only Liu Du's more than 30,000 troops can defend it. The Yellow Turban Army's attack this time Lingling is determined to win. Before Xing Daorong left, he promised to save the lives of the people in the city. Let's see the progress in the afternoon." After hearing this, Huang Gai followed Chen Long into the Xuan Hall worriedly.
The war had begun, and everyone was preoccupied during lunch. Only Wang, Taohua, and Zhang Ning had a lively and intimate chat. Mrs. Wang obviously liked Zhang Ning very much and asked a lot about medical knowledge. It was rare for this girl to be able to answer fluently. Apparently, she had a lot of experience in medical treatment due to her long-term experience of following her father in applying talisman water abroad. Taohua was grateful for Zhang Ning's life-saving grace. Seeing Zhang Ning's profound knowledge and fluent answers, Taohua had a look of admiration on her face. She fell under Zhang Ning's pomegranate skirt earlier than Chen Long and became Zhang Ning's die-hard fan and fan. Super besties.
Chen Long was very happy when he saw Taohua talking and smiling at Yan Yan, and the decline after being poisoned was gone. Zhang Ning only focused on chatting with Wang and Taohua. The three grown men were bored and simply went to the yard to bask in the sun together. Several people were worried about the Yellow Turban Army's attack on the city. Suddenly, the war drums outside the city started beating again, and Zhang Mancheng's second wave of offensive came. Huang An quickly sent a few servants to Beicheng to investigate.
About two hours later, the servants came back one by one and reported that the North City Gate was temporarily impregnable, but the people began to feel uneasy. There was no food trading in the market, and many wealthy people had already fled with their families through the South Gate. , Liu Yong will all be released for the time being. Huang An thought about it and decided to make a plan in advance. He asked them to go down to pack up the carriages and horses, and asked the kitchen staff to count the food and water. Wang and Taohua helped clean up the things. Zhang Ning was bored and didn't want to hear what Chen Long and the others were doing. He muttered and followed Taohua to help Wang clean up.
When Chen Long saw this, he didn't stop him. After all, he was still a little worried about the Yellow Turban's promise not to disturb the people. He thought it would be better for Huang An and the others to leave the city first. After a lot of fussing, it was getting dark. Wang and the others stopped to have dinner after packing up. They agreed that if the battle situation went bad tomorrow, they would immediately leave the south gate and flee to Changsha. After dinner, everyone dispersed to various places. rest. After hearing Chen Long's words, Huang Gai hesitated all afternoon and went to the city to help after dinner. Chen Long could not stop him, so he let him go.
Not to mention that Wang and Huang An started to worry about Huang Gai's safety again. They only talked about Zhang Ning. Ever since they met Taohua, they were inseparable. The two walked back to the bedroom hand in hand. Even Chen Long wanted to talk to Taohua personally. Not even given a chance. Chen Long slipped into his and Tao Hua's bedroom like a tramp, and saw the two of them sitting on the bedside under the light. One was as beautiful and pure as the bright moon in the sky, and the other was as bright and charming as a fairy in the sky. They were truly the most beautiful couple in the world. Sisters. After being a light bulb for a while, and just about to say something to relieve the embarrassment, Zhang Ning said: "Brother Chen, we need to change clothes." Chen Long walked out of the bedroom dejectedly, fuming with anger, and went back to the ear room to sleep with his head covered. The great sleep has gone.
Huang Gai had been fighting at the top of the city for several hours. Liu Xian had already taken his robes and was bathed in blood. He shook hands and had no time to say anything to him. Liu Du finally arrived at the foot of Beicheng. Seeing that the defense was quite tight, he headed back to the prefect's mansion. Liu Xian had already sent people out of the city to send letters of distress to Changsha, Guiyang, and Xiangyang, and was only waiting for reinforcements to come to relieve the siege of Lingling. The two of them had just rested in the city when suddenly the sergeant came to report that the yellow turbans were holding large torches and attacked the city before night. Liu Xian and Huang Gai hurriedly climbed to the top of the city again. They saw that the mountains and fields were covered with torches, and the entire city was covered with fire. The army moved out, the drums sounded like thunder again, and another step of erecting ladders felt more intense than during the day. Liu Xian mobilized thousands more troops from Liu Yong's south city gate to repel this wave of siege. More and more wounded soldiers crowded the empty field under the inner city, and the sound of wailing could not be heard. . Under the outer city wall, it became a hell of Shura, and the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army piled up into a hill.
The night was deep, the sound of ringing gold sounded far away, and the light of the torch finally receded slowly. Liu Xian, Liu Xian and Huang Gai were all so tired that they fell to the ground and rested against the battlements. Looking at the soldiers around them, they were all in dire straits. Some fell to the ground and even fell asleep on the wall. Liu Xian thought for a while and asked Huang Gai to lead a few of his own soldiers to the south city, and Liu Yong to bring thousands of people to the north city to replace the city defense. He stood up with difficulty and ordered the civilians to carry the defense materials to the top of the city.
Huang Gai hurriedly went down to the city with a few soldiers and walked straight to the south city along the main street. Suddenly a group of remnant soldiers came in. Huang Gai was shocked where the remnant soldiers came from. He grabbed one and asked carefully. The remnant soldier shouted at the top of his lungs that the Xiangshui Ferry was over. Lost, run for your life quickly. Huang Gai was shocked and had no time to go to Nancheng. He asked one of his two soldiers to go to Nancheng and the other to go back to Beicheng to report the failure of the ferry. He took the remaining soldiers and went straight to the Xiangshui Ferry. When he reached the ferry, the remaining soldiers were already defeated. Waves came one after another, and in the Xiangjiang River, we saw boats dotted with sails and lights brightly lit, but the darkness was still flowing out of sight in the Xiangshui River, and the shouts of killing could not be heard. Huang Gai knew that heavy troops were guarding the city at the north gate, and there were only a thousand guards at the ferry. Looking at this posture, they had already been defeated by a sneak attack. The Yellow Turban Army, holding the tail of the defeated army, had already landed from the ferry, and the darkness was pressing towards Huang Gai. Huang Gai knew that he could no longer hold on, so he turned back to the north gate and reported to Liu Xian.
Chen Long was worried about Huang Gai's safety, so he couldn't sleep well and woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. Hearing the cry of killing coming from the west, he knew it was the Xiangshui Ferry. He couldn't help being frightened. He hurriedly put on his coat, left the house and jumped up to the house, not caring about hiding his body. I walked across the house and over the ridge on the roof, rushing towards the West City as if flying. When I arrived at the boundary of the West City, I heard people shouting and neighing, like a surging tide. Looking down, I saw a yellow scarf flowing through the street below the house like running water. It suddenly dawned on Zhang Ning that what Zhang Ning meant was that the Yellow Turbans had already arranged a surprise attack on the ferry at Xiangshui River at night. The Yellow Turban Army, whose number was unknown, surged toward the central avenue in waves, and then headed straight for the defenders at the city gate from north to south. The two armies collided in an instant, and the sound of fighting and shouting resounded throughout the city. Outside Beicheng, the sound of drums roared into the sky again. With this attack from both inside and outside, Liu Xian might not be able to hold on any longer.
Chen Long didn't want to go back to Huang's house for protection. Anyway, Zhang Ning was here and he should have no worries. He flew from the roof to the root of Beicheng, and then jumped up to the top of the city. He saw that the top of the city was in chaos. He didn't know what was going on inside or outside, and he was completely lost. Without the command, all that is left is a bunch of headless flies. Chen Long was walking up and down the city battlements, looking for Liu Xian and Huang Gai. Suddenly, a bunch of yellow scarves climbed up to the top of the city. Chen Long refused to be entangled, so he climbed over the crowd and finally found Liu Xian being surrounded by a bunch of yellow scarves. Chen Long pounced and opened a gap. Liu Xian was seriously injured and was on the verge of falling. When he opened his eyes and saw Chen Long, he couldn't help but close his eyes and collapse. Chen Long carried Liu Xian on his back, dodged the sword, jumped up, stomped on the head of a yellow scarf soldier, leaped down the tower, and kicked open a house on the edge of the inner city. There were already people inside. When the building was empty, he put Liu Xian on the bed, turned over and flew back to the city wall to continue looking for Huang Gai. After several ups and downs, there was no trace of Huang Gai. There were more and more yellow scarves on the city head. The sound of banging on the door was heard from the city gate. It was obvious that the city gate was about to fall. Chen Long was panicking when he suddenly heard Huang Gai's broken gong voice, shouting where the young master was. When he turned around, he saw Huang Gai coming to the city alone. He hurriedly flew over and hugged him, shouting: "I have rescued Liu Xian." Come on, follow me down to the city quickly." He hugged Huang Gai and flew down from the inner city.
Huang Gai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Liu Xian lying safely on the bed in the house. Chen Long asked Huang Gai to carry him back to Huang Mansion. Huang Gai said, "Where are you, brother?" Chen Long said, "General Liu Xian is still in the city, I'll go look for him again." Huang Gai repeatedly told his brother to be careful, then he picked up Liu Xian and fled away.
Chen Long returned to the inner city wall again and suddenly saw a Yellow Turban general riding a white horse on the main street, commanding his troops to open the city gate and let in the Yellow Turban army outside. With a thought in Chen Long's mind, he grabbed a spear from his side and shot it at the yellow scarf general like an arrow.
