Chen Chang was delighted and immediately dodged by twisting his body greatly. He turned around and was about to stab Tong Xin's neck.
It's a surprise attack!
"Evil beast! Take this surprise attack from my general!"
Tong Xin had a sneer on her lips. This person actually wanted to use the same trick that hurt her last time?
Doesn’t this person know that a move cannot be used twice?
Her waist bent backwards with an unusual arc and extreme flexibility. At the same time, she clamped her arms tightly around the horse's belly and used her arms to dodge Chen Chang's counter-attack with her upper body.
The sharp tip of the spear below instantly stabbed upward at an angle. In the blink of an eye, Chen Chang's armor was like a thin piece of paper and was instantly pierced by the tip of the spear made of light fine iron.
'ah! '
Chen Chang's eyes widened in fear and he wanted to dodge but it was too late.
The spear penetrated his armor and pierced into the skin of his chest with great force, and blood instantly dyed his chest red.
Chen Chang groaned and fell off his horse in a daze, his eyes full of unwillingness and astonishment.
He never imagined that the counter-attack that he was so proud of and that always worked failed to kill the person, but was instead seen through and broken.
Tong Xin looked at Chen Chang lying on the ground and sneered in his heart, "Do you really think she has only been recuperating from her injuries these days?"
Fortunately, it was His Highness who discovered her shortcomings and asked the two gentlemen to help her with special training, which led to the Tong Xin who can respond to any challenge today!
Shuangyi and Mei Niang both went into battle to give her special training, just to let her understand all kinds of unexpected counterattacks!
Tong Xin watched Chen Chang fall off his horse and was about to continue chasing him and kill him directly.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a huge crossbow arrow flying from the city wall like lightning, heading straight for her chest.
It was shot from a crossbow!
This crossbow has great destructive power. She has seen an improved version in His Highness's research institute. If she can't dodge it, she will die today!
Thinking of this, she could only give up her murderous intent temporarily, grabbed the reins, and quickly jumped off the horse sideways to avoid the crossbow arrows.
But in an instant, after she dodged the crossbow arrow, Chen Chang had been pulled to the back by his deputy generals and several others.
Tong Xin's chest rose and fell slightly as he calmed his pounding heart. He felt a pity in his heart and was about to continue the pursuit when Ding Wu called out to him, "General Tong! Don't chase after a desperate enemy. The enemy still has many weapons to defend the city!"
Helplessly, Tong Xin had to tighten the reins and aim at the enemy soldier next to him.
Ji Wan was playing and thinking at the side.
The crossbows on the city wall were fired at the critical moment when Chen Chang was injured and about to die. It was obviously fired at the behest of someone.
In order to save people, or kill Tong Xin to increase the enemy's morale.
When two people are fighting fiercely, it is normal for a normal person to give orders and fire crossbows.
But the people behind Chen Chang did not do so. Instead, they waited until Chen Chang and Tong Xin fought and were on the verge of death, and then they fired the crossbow to stop Tong Xin from killing people.
What does this prove? It proves that the people behind Chen Chang don't want him to die, but they still want him to learn a lesson.
They didn't want Chen Chang to die because he was the defender of Zhengyang City. If he died, the enemy's morale would be greatly affected.
As for wanting to teach him a lesson... it's because this person's relationship with Chen Chang is not very good, at least not on the surface.
To be more serious, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there are quite a few conflicts.
Otherwise, why would this person just watch Chen Chang get injured?
Chen Chang had brought few soldiers before, so even if he shot Tong Xin down, he would definitely be surrounded if he wanted to kill Tong Xin.
And the local authorities gave the signal at that time to withdraw the troops.
It is enough to see that Chen Chang is also willing to listen to that person's command at the critical moment, which proves that Chen Chang has the overall situation in mind.
But...it's said that this person has a sense of the overall situation, but every time he is provoked, he will become violent and lead his troops out of the city. He really doesn't seem like a person with a sense of the overall situation.
Chen Chang was a very confusing opponent. He had a sense of the overall situation, but he didn't seem to have much of a sense of the overall situation.
And the most important thing is... who is the person behind this?
Ding Wu felt sorry when he saw Chen Chang being taken back to Zhengyang City covered in blood by the deputy general, but when he thought about the military advisor's request today, he felt relieved.
The military advisor asked them to just target Chen Chang today.
Even if this person is injured, it can be used to force out the behavior style of the person behind Chen Chang.
At present, it seems that this person and Chen Chang have the same say in Zhengyang City.
In the case of Zhengyang City, there is a constant supply of support from countless prefectures and counties in the Donglin Kingdom. In contrast, Your Highness only has food and fodder from three prefectures and counties.
They would certainly think that your Highness's three states and counties produce very little food and fodder.
As long as we defend the city to the death and rely on the huge supply of Donglin Kingdom, we can delay His Highness to death.
Moreover, for them, the enemy army was lurking ahead, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that they could not leave the city at will.
But every time Chen Chang was provoked by a word or two, he couldn't help but lead his troops out, which also proved that this person could not command Chen Chang.
In other words, he couldn't command Chen Chang.
Right now, Zhengyang City seems to be a place where Chen Chang has the final say. Even if he leads his troops out, this person will be there to clean up the mess for him.
In any case, this person did not launch a sneak attack to kill Tong Xin during the war, and even injured Chen Chang. It can be seen that this person and Chen Chang are not on good terms.
In this case, thinking about the poisoning plan set by the military advisor a few days ago, Ding Wu couldn't hide his excitement.
No matter what, the plan is now half successful!
Above the city wall.
The pale-faced Chen Chang was placed on a stretcher by the deputy general, and the medical soldiers quickly carried him to the general's mansion for treatment.
Chen Chang's deputy general climbed to the top of the city wall angrily.
"Military Advisor, that traitor Ji Wan is showing off his might down below. Why don't you send troops down to support General Chen? Instead, you're just calling off the troops from here on the city wall!"
After these words fell, many of Chen Chang's lieutenant generals following behind him echoed: "Yes, military advisor."
"We are too cowardly. Ji Wan is just a woman. Why should we be afraid of her?"
"We are all top-notch soldiers. General Chen, are you satisfied with what we have achieved today?"
"If you hadn't supported us, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
The person with her back to the deputy general was wearing a mysterious black veil, with her black hair casually and messily draped over her back, her arms and waistline faintly visible under the veil and black hair.
Anyone who sees this woman from behind will say that she is absolutely stunning.
"What does it have to do with me? Your general was disobedient, inferior in skills, and injured. It's all because he's as stupid as a pig.
"Is it possible that he would just fall into a trap just because someone set it for him? He has no brains at all."
But this voice clearly sounds like a man's!
The voice was nonchalant and raspy, a low voice that belonged to men, laziness and casualness coexisting.
