Chapter 411 Rescue Zhu Ming
Chapter 411 Rescue Zhu Ming
Zhu Ming suppressed his panic and remained calm on the surface, but the veins on his hand gripping the sword hilt were throbbing. "Supervisor, the enemy's city defenses are strong and they are good at using tricks. The brothers have already given their all."
If Your Excellency deems me incompetent, you may appoint another general!
These words struck a chord with the military supervisor, who had long wanted to seize Zhu Ming's military power.
He immediately sneered and ordered his men to take away Zhu Ming's sword: "Fine! Since General Zhu finds it difficult, then these three thousand men will be under my command!"
You shall remain in your tent and not step out without my order!
Zhu Ming watched the military supervisor leave triumphantly, then slammed his fist on the table, feeling both anxious and angry.
He originally intended to use the confrontation to "ferry" the last group of people to Dou Zhan's side, and "ferry" him along with them.
Now that he's under house arrest, all his plans are in chaos.
Worse still, the supervising officer is ignorant of military strategy and only knows how to act recklessly; these three thousand brothers are likely to die in vain.
Meanwhile, on the city wall, Dou Zhan was holding a note that Zhu Ming had secretly sent over, his brows furrowed.
The military supervisor has seized command, and the general is leading all the troops behind him; they're likely going to launch a direct assault on the city gates.
The man with missing teeth and his men were pressed against the tent. Just as they circled around to the back window of the tent, they heard the voice of the supervising officer's confidant coming from inside: "General Zhu, the lord said that if you think things through and are willing to admit your mistake, he might spare your life."
Zhu Ming sat at the table, the tea in front of him long since cold, but his face showed no sign of yielding: "I did nothing wrong, why should I admit anything?"
The confidant sneered, and was about to speak again when he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
A smile of excitement played on his lips. "The army is about to attack the city!"
With lightning speed, Ayu seized the moment when her confidant turned to look outside, and with a flick of her tongue, a hidden weapon flew straight toward her confidant's neck.
With a soft "plop," the hidden weapon pierced the confidant's carotid artery, and blood instantly soaked his collar.
The confidant's body twitched twice, his eyes filled with terror, but he couldn't even utter a single cry for help.
Fearing he wasn't quite dead, Qian Yan'er quickly jumped up and stabbed him in the chest.
Upon seeing this, the chubby girl immediately stepped forward, caught his body as it was about to fall, and dragged it to the innermost part of the tent. The sound of the fabric rubbing against the ground was completely drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves outside.
Don't fall down and make a loud noise, or none of them will escape!
At the same time, the three thousand men were driven to the city gate tower. The general of the capital garrison arranged for archers to aim at their backs and gave a deep order, "Attack the city!"
Dou Zhan, watching from the city wall, was furious, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "That son of a bitch! He actually used his own people as human shields!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, Miss Tooth's father and the others met up with Zhu Ming.
Qin Shen pulled his arm, "Let's go!"
As soon as they entered the woods, they heard hurried footsteps behind them.
The five hundred men who remained at camp chased after them, weapons in hand. The captain at the head shouted, "Hurry and chase! We can't let Zhu Ming get away!"
Qin Shen turned her head and glanced at her, "Ayu, you've got a death sentence for taking the team leader!"
Before she finished speaking, the hidden weapon in Ayu's mouth shot out.
Upon seeing her movement, the leader immediately pulled the nearest soldier to stand in front of him.
The hidden weapon slashed across the soldier's neck with a "thud," and the soldier fell to the ground dead on the spot.
The captain, who was in charge, took two steps back and pointed at them, shouting sternly, "What are you all standing there for? Charge! Take them alive!"
The crisp sound of blades clashing echoed through the forest as the surrounding soldiers pressed forward like hungry wolves.
Qin Shen Shen stabbed a nearby soldier to death with a dagger, and shouted, "Quickly take General Zhu and leave!"
"Big brother!"
Fatty and Ayu called out anxiously.
But the current situation is unfavorable to them; there are too many people, and they can be worn down to death.
The two men turned around, killed the five soldiers who were fighting with Zhu Ming, and then grabbed him from the left and right and ran away!
"General Zhu, let's go quickly!"
Zhu Ming staggered as the two men helped him up, while the shouts of soldiers chasing after him came like a tidal wave.
Arrows whizzed past his ears and embedded themselves in the tree trunk ahead.
Ayu turned her head, her eyes narrowed, and she immediately shoved the fat girl.
The chubby girl was pushed and stumbled. When she turned around, she saw an arrow deeply embedded in the ground where she had just been standing.
"Fatty, take General Zhu and go first. I'll stay behind with my brother and the others to cover our retreat!"
Qian Yan'er's leg had been stabbed, and the blood stained the area where she stood, stinging everyone's eyes.
After saying that, Ayu had already drawn her two daggers.
She glanced at Qian Yan'er from the side and ran over.
Qian Yan'er gritted her teeth and used her knife to support herself on the ground, then slapped away an approaching soldier with a palm strike. "Damn it, I'm a shorty, but I'm not a pushover. You think you can bully me?"
Ayu touched the ground with her toes and swept to Qian Yan'er's side like a gust of wind.
With a flash of cold light, the two daggers crossed, directly deflecting the long swords thrust at them by two soldiers. "Yan'er, go!"
Ayu checked on Qian Yan'er's condition, her actions were decisive and swift.
With a swift backhand twist, the dagger was precisely pressed against the throat of the attacker behind him. "Hold on, I'll cover your retreat!"
Qian Yan'er grinned, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Using A Yu as cover, he quickly stood up.
But the pursuers were increasing in number, and their spears were thrust at the two of them like a forest.
Ayu pushed Qian Yan'er towards Pang, then leaped into the air using the fallen dead tree as a stepping stone.
The two daggers flew like swallows piercing the clouds, instantly slicing through the wrists of three soldiers, and the long swords clattered to the ground.
But as soon as she landed, a soldier slashed her back with his knife, and blood instantly soaked through her back.
"Ayu!"
Qian Yan'er's eyes reddened with anxiety. She wanted to rush over to help, but she stumbled a couple of steps because of her leg injury.
Ayu only frowned slightly.
She can manage with minor injuries.
Seeing that the two were injured, the father with missing teeth and Qin Shensheng quickly gathered around them.
"Yu'er, Yanzi, are you alright?"
The father with missing teeth watched the approaching soldiers warily while looking at his two children whom he had raised with heartache.
He turned his head and spat, "Shen'er, take them away, I'll cover your retreat!"
"Dad with missing teeth, you?"
Qin Shensheng tightened her grip on the long sword. Hearing this, her hand trembled slightly: "No! We'll go together. You covering our retreat alone is suicide!"
"Stop talking nonsense. I've lived to this age, and I have no regrets.
But you are still young, and everything is just beginning!
Go quickly! "
Suddenly, the man with missing teeth took a big step forward, his broadsword drawing a dazzling arc as he cleaved two soldiers' spears in two.
He turned around and glared at Qin Shen, his voice full of anxiety: "If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
Qin Shen Shen, Qian Yan'er, and A Yu looked at their toothless father with red eyes.
"father!"
Three shouts burst from their throats almost simultaneously, tinged with sobs and choked voices.
The man with the missing tooth looked at the three people in front of him, and upon hearing the word "father," his eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"go!"
