Peng City.
In order to clear his name, Zang Ba led his army to attack.
The city wall to the west of Peng City had already become a scene of devastation.
The moat had long been filled with earth, rocks, and dead soldiers.
The chains on the suspension bridge had long been cut off.
Even the western city gate had been half-broken.
What was blocking the west gate was a dismantled chariot frame.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Near the city wall, the sounds of battle were endless.
On the scaling ladder, the fearless rebel soldiers rushed up the city.
Retreat, there was a team led by Zang Ba.
Retreating meant death!
Only by ascending the city would there be a chance of survival!
The rebel army had been attacking from early morning to evening, and the soldiers attacking the city had changed batch after batch.
After a whole day of killing, Peng Cheng was like a meat grinder.
Corpses, broken limbs, and injured people lay all over the place.
Broken arrows, broken halberds, and banners were scattered all over the ground.
Chen Deng's face was no longer as calm as before.
The sword in his hand had been cut off by the rebel army's attack just now.
"Damn it! This Zang Ba is crazy!"
Chen Deng cursed.
He killed Sun Kang and Changxi.
He had plotted to sow discord and made the rebel army kill each other.
The success of these two strategies made Chen Deng feel a little smug.
However, Chen Deng had underestimated Zang Ba.
Zang Ba had been a cavalry commandant for a few years and had always been magnanimous. He was different from an idiot like Cao Bao.
Even though Sun Guan had attacked Zang Ba, Zang Ba did not mind his rudeness.
Instead, in order to prove his innocence, he didn't hesitate to let the personal guards he had raised for many years personally attack the city!
Zang Ba's magnanimity extinguished Sun Guan's hatred.
Because of Chen Deng's plan, the rebel army that almost had internal strife once again became an iron plate!
Mei Zhu looked at the soldiers who were getting more and more tired and sighed softly,""Yuanlong, it looks like Peng City can't be defended anymore. I'll ask you for a favor. I've already sent my little sister Mi Zhu and Cao Bao's daughter, Cao Yuan, to the Provincial Governor's Estate. Cao Bao and I will create an opportunity for you later. You will lead your Chen family's soldiers to cover the lord's family and retreat from the south gate.”
Chen Deng's eyes widened." Mi Zizhong, what do you mean? Do you want to die here?"”
Mi Zhu sighed." Before my lord left, I promised my lord that if Peng City was lost, I would bring my head to see my lord. General Cao Bao will do the same!" I only hope that my lord will treat my little sister and little brother Fang well on account of my loyalty!”
"Chen Yuanlong!" Chen Deng was furious."Could it be that I, Chen Yuanlong, am a coward in your eyes?”
Mi Zhu said seriously," I, Mi Zizhong, have no other abilities besides earning money. But you, Chen Yuanlong, are different. You have the intelligence to govern and defend a region. You can't defend Peng City because you are not intelligent.”
"You are familiar with the art of war. With you protecting the lord's family, even if the rebel soldiers pursue, you can resist for a while.”
"Yuanlong, I'm counting on you!"
Mi Zhu bowed deeply!
Chen Deng clenched his fists.
I am just a scholar who knows nothing about military tactics. I was lucky enough to scheme against Zang Ba twice, but I am still feeling smug.
They couldn't even defend Peng City for a day!
What kind of strategy was this!
Seeing Chen Deng hesitate, Mei Zhu shouted,""Chen Yuan Long, what are you hesitating for? If you want to prove yourself, go to the army to gain experience in the future, instead of hesitating here!”
Chen Deng had a complicated look in his eyes.
He turned around angrily.
Mei Zhu looked at the black mass below the city and sighed softly,""Little Sister, Little Brother Fang, the Mei Clan is counting on you!”
.....
Below the city.
Zang Ba said solemnly.
His lips were already dry and cracked.
After a day and night of battle commanding, even a tough man like Zang Ba was extremely tired.
"Commander Zang, our brothers are all very tired. Do you want to attack the city again tomorrow?”
Wu Dun reported.
"No, I can't! Peng City's defenders are even more exhausted than us!”
"If we can't take down Peng City as soon as possible, once Xu Xiao returns, we will die without a burial place!”
Zang Ba looked up at the sky, feeling slightly worried.
From the start, Zang Ba had planned to end this quickly.
Whether it was sending a letter to Chen Deng in advance, he hoped that Chen Deng would cooperate from the inside.
He still tolerated Sun Guan's impudence.
Zang Ba's goal had always been clear!
They couldn't waste time, they couldn't have internal strife. Before they obtained Xu Xiao's family, it was a sign of failure!
Suddenly.
"Commander Zang, the western gate is open!" Yi Li ran over and panted.”
"It's opened?" Zang Ba's brows relaxed. That was great! Snatch the city gate immediately!"
"No, Commander Zang, the soldiers of Peng City have left the city!" Yin Li hurriedly shook his head. The leader is Cao Bao!"
What was that?
Cao Bao?
Cao Bao led the army out of the city?
Zang Ba's face had a 'you're kidding me' expression.
Zang Ba had been in Xu Prefecture for six years. How could he not know who Cao Bao was?
This was a coward!
"It's true!" Yi Li said anxiously. Commander Zang, I know Cao Bao, there's no mistake!”
Zang Ba frowned again, Cao Bao really left the city? Strange!"
Suddenly.
Zang Ba suddenly thought of the reason. Xu Xiao's family wanted to escape! Wu Dun and Yin Li, immediately lead the troops to the south gate!”
Zang Ba attacked the west gate while the other three gates only left a small number of people.
"Do we need to go to the east and west gates?"
"No need! Xu Xiao is going to conquer Xiapi and Guangling. If Xu Xiao's family wants to avoid our pursuit, they will definitely go south to meet up with Xu Xiao!”
"We'll head there immediately!"
On the other side.
Cao Bao saw Zang Ba mobilizing his troops and bit the handkerchief left by his dead wife.
"I, Cao Bao, have been a coward all my life. Today, I will kill for my daughter!”
"My lord, I, Cao Bao, do not have a son. I only have this one daughter. You must not disappoint me!”
Cao Bao waved his saber and shouted,"Brothers, kill the traitors!”
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Cao Bao was just timid, but his martial strength was not low.
After all, to be able to become the commander of the Elixir Yang Soldiers, it was impossible for him to be a weak scholar.
At this moment, there were no more worries.
Cao Bao also began to play with his life!
Danyang's army is the best in the world.
Even though they had been guarding the city for a day and night, their eyes were bloodshot, but they still had some combat strength!
At this moment, the rebel army and the Danyang soldiers.
There was only one thing to fight for!
Who would fall first!
....
South Gate.
Chen Deng and his son led the Chen Family soldiers to escort Gan Qian, Mi Zhen, and Cao Yuan away.
Not far out of the city, Wu Dun and Yin Li led their troops to attack.
"This Zang Ba can even guess this?" Chen Deng was shocked. Damn it! If I can't escort my lord's family, I'll be ashamed of Mi Zizhong!”
....
At this moment.
The earth shook.
White robes.
Silver armor.
Bright silver spear.
The leader was dressed in white robes and silver armor. He didn't wear a helmet and rushed over like lightning.
"It's my husband!" Gan Qian exclaimed.”
