Chapter 114: Hard to guard

With a golden sound, the Song army that was sieging the city retreated like a tide.

Dingdang!

Zhang Ji sat on the ground, threw away the knife in his hand, and gasped heavily.

On this day, the Song army attacked eight times in a row, and almost lost the city wall two or three times.

And such an offensive has lasted for half a month, and sometimes Zhang Jizhen wants to abandon the city and leave.

But he couldn't do this, nor did he dare to do this, so he had to grit his teeth and insist on waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

"Brothers, all of you get up and go back to the city. You should eat what you should eat and what you should treat your injuries."

Zhang Ji stood up from the ground with his hand on the wall bricks, looked at the soldiers lying on the ground, and urged them to go down to the city wall to rest so that they could give up their seats to the soldiers who were vigilant.

As Zhang Ji's words fell, the people got up in groups of three to two and walked down the city wall. Those who were injured also walked together with the help of others.

Zhang Ji bent down and picked up the knife he threw on the ground, and held his exhausted body to the stairs.

"General, are you injured?"

A familiar voice came to Zhang Ji's ears. He raised his head and Le Lin brought the people up.

Zhang Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I was not injured, I was just tired and exhausted."

Le Lin breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Zhang Ji was their backbone and their savior.

If Zhang Ji died, the morale of the army would collapse instantly, and Zhang Rui would not let them go afterwards.

"Brother, be careful at night, Gu Tingye, the madman, is getting crazy."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ji looked regretful, and when he learned that the general who defeated them was Gu Tingye, he wanted to tear this person to pieces.

"General, I remember, please go down and rest quickly!"

Looking at Zhang Ji with a distorted face, Lelin hurriedly responded.

"Okay, let's go first."

Zhang Ji nodded and under Le Lin's gaze, he got off the city wall.

When he returned to the back house of the county government office, Zhang Ji first asked the maid to boil the bath water, while he lay on the bed and took a nap for a while.

The maid boiled water and woke up the sleeping Zhang Ji.

Looking at the steaming water, Zhang Ji opened his arms and two beautiful maids stretched out their hands to take off their sweaty underwear for him.

"Cool!"

Zhang Ji put one foot into a wooden barrel filled with hot water, and the hot water invaded his body and screamed comfortably.

The two maids were not idle either. One massaged Zhang Ji's shoulders, and the other wiped his body with white silk as white as snow.

Zhang Ji closed his eyes and enjoyed the maids' service.

Half an hour ago, Zhang Rui took a shower, ate some food, and went to bed.

...

In the second half of the night, Zhang Ji, who was sleeping, was awakened by the screams outside the door. He hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and opened the door. The scene outside the door stunned him.

There were fires everywhere outside the door, and two men in blue clothes were invading a beautiful maid, with only one piece of clothing left on the maid.

One of them found Zhang Ji. He grinned, picked up the long knife under his feet and came towards Zhang Ji.

The other one didn't get up, and he thought that one person was enough.

Zhang Ji had no expression on his face. When this man took action, he kicked him down in advance, and then snatched the knife in his hand.

With a wave of his hand, the blade slashed across the man's neck, and soon he died of excessive blood loss.

"you..."

The man holding the maid was instantly panicked when he saw Zhang Ji killing him, and his hands were even touching around, trying to pick up the long sword to boost his courage.

"Who are you? Why did you break into the back house of the county government office?"

Zhang Ji put the knife on the man's neck and looked at him coldly.

"Little... the villain is called He Liu. It was my master who asked us to come here to kill someone named Zhang Ji."

A man named He Liu endured the fear in his heart and answered Zhang Ji's questions truthfully.

"Who is your master? How many people have you sent?..."

After hearing this, Zhang Ji continued to ask He Liu.

"This..." He Liu was hesitant, afraid that he would say it out loud, and this person would not let him go.

Zhang Ji knew what He Liu was worried about?

Therefore, I promised him: "As long as you answer truthfully, I will not kill you."

He Liu thought about it secretly, but in the end he answered truthfully.

After a stick of incense, He Liu told Zhang Ji everything he knew.

The more Zhang Ji listened, the more frightened he became.

"Master, I've said everything I should say, I'll leave first." He Liu took advantage of Zhang Ji's head down and thought quietly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ji raised his lips and threw the knife in his hand out.

He Liu let out a "ah" and looked down at the tip of the knife that pierced his belly, his eyes incredible.

Then he fell to the ground unwillingly and died.

Zhang Ji walked to He Liu's side, pulled up the knife inserted on his body, and walked directly outside the yard without even looking at it.

According to He Liu, the He family's masters and the other three heads of the family must open the city gate to welcome the Song army into the city.

In fact, it was Zhang Ji who asked him to do so. Since he was besieged by the Song army, he sent people to the city to force these wealthy merchants to use their wealth.

If they didn't follow, Zhang Ji would let the family destroy the family. After a while, they certainly didn't want to, so these things happened.

For the current problem, Zhang Ji took advantage of Gu Tingye outside the city to find no accident in the city, and on the one hand, he sent someone to remind Le Lin to increase his vigilance.

On the other hand, we first went to the schoolyard and sent people to control these four evil thieves who killed thousands of swords.

...

At dawn, the servants sent by the four families in the city calmed Zhang Ji.

At the same time, Zhang Ji was scared to death. If Lelin hadn't fought to the death, Mianzhu would have lost it.

This is the case. It was too late when Zhang Ji sent the person who sent the letter to the city wall.

Le Lin has already fought with these rebels. Not only that, the Song army outside the city also attacked the city in a desperate situation.

In this way, Le Lin was under double pressure and insisted until Zhang Ji brought the people there.

The two of them worked together to defend the city.

Of course, Zhang Ji would not let these four families go to the public, and immediately ordered the whole family to be destroyed, and at the same time, they would collect their wealth and reward these brothers who were desperately guarding the city.

And the days that followed, such situations were countless, even more sinister and more sinister.

On the one hand, Zhang Ji struggled to defend himself, and on the other hand, he sent people to Zitong for help.

...

At the same time, near Luo County, a team of 100-member Song army transported food was robbed by someone.

"Brother, this is the third grain transport team that we have robbed."

A small figure said to a middle-aged man wearing iron armor and scarred with a finger on his left face.

"Well, let the brothers speed up and retreat before the Song army arrives." The middle-aged man ordered expressionlessly.

"Okay!" The thin young man responded and sent an order to everyone.

After a while, these people left after cleaning the battlefield.

When the Song army arrived, there was nothing but a hundred naked corpses.
