Chapter 208 Why don’t you descend quickly!
A few days went by as usual, and the rebel leader couldn't help but feel that perhaps he was worrying too much.
Plus, the person next to me has been particularly annoying lately.
His mind was distracted a lot, and he gradually relaxed his attention on the city defense.
Once he relaxed, the other generals naturally relaxed even more.
After all, they were all just ruffians. It was fine during the day, but at night...
Rather than standing on the city wall to watch the moon, they prefer lying on the lap of a beauty and listening to little songs.
Xiao Ning has been keeping an eye on the developments in Jinzhou City.
Seeing that the city defenses were becoming increasingly lax, he chose a dark and windy night and led his army to Jinzhou City.
The horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, making them silent as they stepped on the ground.
The army was divided into four groups and attacked Jinzhou City from four gates respectively.
The rope hook was thrown out and stuck on the city wall, and dozens of figures climbed up like flying.
By the time the rebels on the city wall discovered it, it was too late.
Xu Chong flew up first and broke the rebel's neck.
Soon after, the other soldiers of the vanguard also climbed onto the city wall, and the two sides started fighting.
"According to the general's previous instructions, we'll hold them off while you open the city gates!"
"Understood!"
Xu Chong led his men to entangle the rebels on the city wall, and the rest of the soldiers went down the stairs to kill their way down.
"Quick, beat the drum! Enemy attack!"
The sound of drums rang out from the four corner towers one after another, stirring and merging in the quiet night.
The rebel leader suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, picked up the clothes beside him and put them on.
Lin Sanniang was a light sleeper and woke up almost as soon as he moved.
The faint sound of drums made her heart beat faster, but she pretended not to hear it. She stood up and pressed herself against him from behind, holding her arms around his waist. Her voice was soft and hazy, with a nasal tone of someone who had not yet woken up.
"Why did the general suddenly wake up..."
The rebel leader pulled her hand away and said, "There's an enemy attack," while tying his belt.
Lin Sanniang opened her eyes slightly wide when she heard this and asked in surprise, "How could it be..."
"I have to go out and take a look. Go hide in the dark room. I'll come back to find you. Then you can come out."
Lin Sanniang put on her clothes, got out of bed, and helped him put on his armor.
After being dressed, the rebel leader picked up his knife and was ready to go out.
"Wait a minute, General..."
Lin Sanniang had a pot of wine brought over. She filled two cups and handed one to him. "I wish you a triumphant return. As for the remaining wine... I will wait for you to come back and drink with you."
Tears welled up in Lin Sanniang's eyes and she looked worried.
The rebel leader took the wine glass without thinking and drank it all in one gulp.
Watching him drink the wine, Lin Sanniang smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for you at home, General..."
The rebel leader raised his hand, pinched Lin Sanniang's cheek, and laughed loudly, "Okay, I'll be back soon!"
Lin Sanniang raised her hand, placed her palm on the back of his hand, her eyes full of affection and worry.
The rebel leader touched her face again, turned and strode out of the house.
After he left, the attachment and worry in Lin Sanniang's eyes disappeared, and her gaze became cold.
She lifted her sleeve, looked at the wine stain, turned around to find a clean piece of clothing to change into, then sat in front of the mirror and began to dress up.
The maid behind her trembled and said, "Madam, aren't you worried..."
"What are you worried about?"
Lin Sanniang asked.
Not only was she not worried, but she was very happy because she was about to meet the Marquis...
She no longer had to grovel and fawn over this demon, and no longer had to hang out with these man-eating beasts...
Lin Sanniang couldn't help humming a song.
It was the song she used to hum when she was a child to put her sister to sleep.
Thinking of her sister, the corners of her mouth that were raised lowered into a straight line.
I hope my sister and Mr. Wang can return to Shengjing safely, without encountering war or bandits, let alone these things...
She had her hair in a slightly dignified bun and her face was unmade up.
The person in the mirror still has the same delicate features as before, but his eyes are no longer as lively and innocent as before.
"Madam, why don't we go hide..."
Seeing that Lin Sanniang had finished dressing and was still sitting there motionless, staring at herself in the mirror in a daze, the maid asked cautiously.
Hearing this, Lin Sanniang shook her head and said, "I won't hide."
"Madam, do you think the general will win?"
The maid asked again.
Lin Sanniang shook her head again, the corners of her lips curled up: "I don't think so."
Maid: “…”
What's the meaning?
Do you not think the rebels will win, or do you not want to discuss this issue?
The maid thought about it and felt that Lin Sanniang probably didn't want to discuss this meaningless issue.
After all, she is the wife of a rebel, so she must hope that the rebels win...
The maid glanced at her.
Seeing that she was still sitting in front of the mirror without moving, he calmed down and stood behind her.
The lady is smart and she didn't even hide, which means she will win this battle.
You will definitely survive if you follow my wife.
…
The city gates were opened, the army poured into the city, and the two sides started fighting.
When the rebel leader arrived, the other generals were already leading the rebels to fight the enemy.
"General, it's the Xiao family army!"
"Damn it, they actually came back and attacked me!"
The rebel leader pursed his lips, looked at the "Xiao" flag erected on the city wall, bent his bow and shot the flag down.
He shouted, "Soldiers, follow me and chop off the heads of these imperial lackeys as a sacrifice to the heavens!"
"kill--"
The rebels hated the imperial court the most. After hearing their leader's words, their morale soared and they started fighting against Xiao's army.
Suddenly an arrow shot from the side. The rebel leader raised his knife to block it, but the force of the arrow made his palm numb.
He looked in the direction the arrow came from.
In the flames rising into the sky, he saw a young general with a handsome face that was even slightly feminine.
Seeing that her sneak attack failed, she put away her bow, swung her spear, and rushed towards him.
The rebel leader rushed forward with a long sword in hand.
The two men had only exchanged two moves when the rebel leader suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Xiao Ning reacted quickly, pulling his cloak to block all the black blood that was spraying towards him.
I almost sprayed her in the face!
Xiao Ning loosened his cloak and watched the rebel general fall to his knees with his hands covering his abdomen and a ferocious look on his face.
He leaned on his long sword to keep himself from falling. He turned his head and looked towards the direction of his residence in the city.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ning cut off his head.
Looking at this man's appearance, he was obviously poisoned. Looking at his unwilling look, it seems that he was poisoned by the person he trusted most.
Who?
I guess she is that intelligent woman with a broad vision.
However, her son Xiao Ning had no time to delve into these things. She held the rebel leader's head high.
"The bandit leader has been killed, why don't you surrender quickly?"
The two armies were fighting fiercely. When they heard the sound, they looked up and saw that their leader's head was indeed held in someone's hand, with his eyes wide open, looking in a certain direction.
Their leader was so brave, but he died after just a few moves with this guy?
"Don't listen to what this pretty boy says!"
"In the eyes of the imperial court, we are rebels. Will we get anything good if we surrender?"
"Kill them, and we'll survive!"
"kill--"
