Zhang Cheng could not go into battle to kill the enemy in person, so he could only command from the rear.
The same goes for Zhang Yun, who was pushed by others and sat on a chair, watching the progress of the siege ahead.
Zhang Cheng's expression was not very good. Unexpectedly, after attacking for two hours, the soldiers in Nanping City continued to use tricks and caused many casualties to the Northern Hebei Army, but they did not move even an inch of the city gate.
Zhang Yun had no expression on his face and Nanping City was holding on. This was within his expectation. Although he was also concerned about the casualties, he was more concerned about capturing Nanping City as soon as possible.
Therefore, he said to Zhang Cheng: "Second uncle, it's still a little late to attack the city, right?"
Zhang Cheng nodded. He was the one who hesitated and struggled at first, giving Zhou Gu the opportunity to sneak into the camp and assassinate them. Zhang Xing died without telling them. Now he didn't expect Nanping City to be so difficult to attack.
"Let the soldiers work harder, Nanping City can't stop it." Zhang Yun shouted, "beat the drum hard."
As he finished speaking, the drum beat like thunder.
Ning Chi personally guarded the city gate and fought with the soldiers. Ning Ze was poor in martial arts and did not have many brushes, so he followed others to carry things to the city gate.
Jiang Zhudong looked like a scholar, but he looked weak, but in fact he was not weak and had good skills. Ning Chi looked at him and found that his martial arts skills were even higher than his own.
Marquis Nanping also went up to the tower, together with Ningchi and everyone.
After all, Marquis Nanping was used to pampering himself, and he was injured not long after, and was almost stabbed by a sword. Fortunately, Ning Chi saw him, and at the critical moment, he stretched out his left arm to block the sword for him.
Because of this, Ning Chi was also injured.
However, it was his left hand that he injured, so it was not a problem. He only ordered someone to send Marquis Nanping back to his home.
Marquis Nanping's face turned pale. In addition to being blocked by Ning Chi, he also injured his chest. He could no longer fight with others and could only be sent back by others.
When Mrs. Hou saw Marquis Nanping being carried back, her face turned pale with fright, and she burst into tears, "Master Hou, this is, this is...Master Hou..."
"Don't cry, I'm fine. It was the prince who saved me. Although my injury is serious, it is not fatal." Marquis Nanping felt very uncomfortable. He didn't expect that he was so useless. He was really standing on the tower. He, the Marquis, He didn't kill many people, but he seriously injured himself. He even injured his son to save himself.
When Mrs. Hou heard this, she finally swallowed back her tears and called the doctor quickly.
Lying on the bed, Marquis Nanping held Madam Hou's hand and said, "I'm not even older than the heir apparent with two children. Needless to say, Ze'er looks weak, but if something really happens, he's someone who can handle it. I'll be back." At that time, I saw him dragging a cart with a disgraced face and carrying dry firewood to the city gate."
Mrs. Hou was afraid, "Master Hou, can we survive it? I am afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, it's useless to be afraid. If the city is really destroyed, let's not burden the court and avoid being insulted. We can just wipe our necks ourselves." Nanping Hou comforted Madam Hou, "If you die by then, you will be fine." The whole family dies together.”
Mrs. Hou: "..."
She doesn't want to die either.
The Northern Hebei Army attacked the city for a full night, but still failed to capture Nanping City.
Zhang Cheng's face turned dark. Seeing that no matter how hard he beat the drums, the soldiers were tired and the siege movement slowed down. It seemed that they would not be able to capture Nanping City today.
Zhang Yun also saw it and said, "Second uncle, please withdraw your troops and let the soldiers rest for half a day before attacking."
Zhang Cheng nodded and ordered his troops to withdraw their troops.
Seeing that the Northern Hebei Army Ming Jin retreated, Ning Chi held his sword, swayed, and supported the wall. He and Jiang Zhu looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, they could at least rest for half a day.
Both of them were covered in blood, especially Ning Chi, who was covered in blood, both from his own blood and from the soldiers of the Northern Hebei Army. His most serious injury was the one he suffered for Marquis Nanping. After all, he is his biological father. Although this father was not good to him in the past, he was not too bad. He could not ignore death.
The two of them went down to the tower and let the soldiers repair and rest.
Ning Ze ran over to help Ningchi, "Brother, how are you? You are so powerful. I heard that you saved your father. Where are you injured?"
Ning Chi wanted to shake him off, but had no strength, so he could only help him get into the carriage, too lazy to say a word to him.
Ning Ze babbled, "Brother, I am also very powerful today. There are not enough manpower, so I mobilized all the women and children to help me cart dry wood, grease and other things. Look at my hands, they are all worn out." It’s crazy, I’ve never experienced anything like this before, but it scares me to death and exhausts me to death.”
Ning Chi took a look at his hand. The broken fingers were all broken. He was moved in his heart and finally said to him, "Well done."
Ning Ze had a smile on his face, like a flower blooming, but he didn't see it.
Jiang Zhu thinks Ning Ze is very interesting. He seems to have no merit and is a bit stupid, but in fact he still has many merits. It can be seen that Miss Su Qi agreed to take him in and take him to Nanchu because she discovered something about him. advantage.
There are not many masters who can find the good points in people like this, and he is a little more determined to follow Su Rong.
Ning Ze turned around and saw Jiang Zhu smiling at him, making him smile a little. He quickly pulled his hand away, "Brother Jiang, what are you laughing at?"
Jiang Zhudao: "I laugh at the second young master, he has a bright future."
People like him have a bright future, and if he follows Miss Su Qi, he will definitely have a bright future.
"Uh..." Ning Ze touched his nose, "That's it."
He was very happy to be praised well, and he also thought that he had a bright future.
Back at the Hou Mansion, the doctor was already waiting, bandaging Ning Chi and Jiang Zhu. After the two bandaged, Ning Ze stretched out his hand to the doctor, "Look at me, my hand hurts too. "
The doctor paused, nodded, and quickly applied medicine to Ning Ze's hand.
Mrs. Hou was very happy to see her son come back in good condition. The Jibei Army had finally withstood its first attack on the city. She was relieved that her son was fine, but she looked for him when he saw that his hand was broken. The doctor bandaged it, and it was much lighter than the two injuries on his elder brother's body. A little later, they were all healed. She was so speechless that she was so embarrassed for him.
I don’t know how the child I gave birth to is so different from the child born to my husband, both of Nanping Hou’s race.
Is it because she, as a mother, is a little greedy and afraid of death and pain?
Look at the Marquis of Nanping. After all, he was stabbed in the chest. He didn't even cry or fuss. The doctor bandaged him and only grunted twice. But his son Ningchi, holding on to his wounds, fought with the soldiers of the Northern Hebei Army. After coming back after such a long time, the doctor bandaged him, but he didn't change his expression and didn't even hum.
Everyone was tired and took advantage of the truce between the Jibei Army and took a rest.
Ningchi couldn't sleep and had to make preparations to wait for the second attack by the Northern Hebei Army.
Ning Ze looked at Ning Chi, hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said to him: "Brother, just rest and leave it to me, I won't be tired."
Ning Chi looked at him suspiciously.
He nodded affirmatively, "I, I can do it."
Monthly ticket, okay?
