The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Why did you run back?" Looking at the person who saved himself.Don't mention how surprised Zhang Fan was.It's not that he didn't think that this person would come back.But absolutely never thought of this scenario.

"I've said it before. I'm going to die. I want to die with you, Brother Fan." Qingli's familiar voice rang in Zhang Fan's ear again.But who is that Yingyue who has gone and returned.

"You..." For a moment.Zhang Fan didn't know what to say at all.In addition, the situation is urgent at this time.He couldn't care less about it. "I'll settle the score with you later." Talking.Zhang Fan raised his knife and slashed at an enemy soldier who was rushing towards him.

Yingyue didn't care about what Zhang Fan said to her about settling accounts.Seeing that Zhang Fan was already fighting with the enemy.She immediately stepped forward to help.

"I said. How did you come back?" With great difficulty, he parried away the long knife that an enemy soldier was looking at.Let Yingyue behind him stab him to death.Zhang Fan took a break from his busy schedule.asked Yingyue.

"Walking back." Yingyue asked inexplicably.It seemed that Zhang Fan asked some funny question.It's just that the form is in crisis at this time.She couldn't show her usual playful look. "I heard the news here. I was worried about you. I left in a hurry. I didn't have much money on me. In addition, there are people fleeing north here now. Where can I get horses and carriages. Naturally, only I can walk back.

"Walking back." Zhang Fan was even more surprised when he heard it.I was very moved in my heart.After all, according to the news brought by Wan Zhong.Yingyue disappeared when Zhu Yijun and his party arrived at Yanzhou Mansion.If Yingyue really came all the way.That's a long way to go.After all, Yanzhou Mansion is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou Mansion.Yingyue for him.Don't hesitate to travel long distances.Walk nearly a thousand miles.Came to Yangzhou City, which is now in crisis.Just for him.How could Zhang Fan not be moved by this.but……

"Hehe. Look at you like that. I lied to you." Yingyue laughed.Especially when she saw Zhang Fan's expression now.Even in this moment of crisis of form.She still couldn't help but had a playful smile on her face. "I stole a horse on the way. Came all the way."

"..." For Yingyue, she can still joke with herself at this moment.Zhang Fan felt helpless. "I sent someone to look for you all the way north from here. Did you not encounter it or avoided it on purpose."

"Those people were sent by Brother Fan to find me." Yingyue suddenly made a look of enlightenment.Said. "So that person was sent by you, Brother Fan. I thought it was Fang Yueling who wanted to take advantage of me to do something when I was on the order. I met such a person when I passed Xuzhou Mansion. See him as a ghost I had no choice but to avoid it. But now that I think about it, it’s good that I didn’t get caught by the people sent by Brother Fan. Presumably Brother Fan wanted them to send me back to the capital after seeing me.”

Zhang Fan heard what Yingyue said.Suddenly a little speechless.What Yingyue said was exactly what he asked people to do.And most of all.Now Yingyue is here.Want to let her go back again.That's almost impossible.this moment.Zhang Fan had many thoughts in his heart.But none of them could speak out.to the end.He just said two words: "You have to be careful." The voice was not loud.The words are also very short.But it contains endless care and worry.

Hear Zhang Fan's words.Yingyue didn't say anything.Just nodded firmly.

Wang Meng and Liang Chao at the side saw the scene here.did not come.It seemed to be deliberately leaving a place for the two of them to talk.The two fought hard around Zhang Fan and Yingyue.Try not to let more enemy soldiers get close there.

It's getting dark now.The siege began in the afternoon.until now.It has been almost three hours.The will to fight never stopped.

Although it was completely dark.But there are not many lights in the whole city of Yangzhou.I don't know if it's because the place is being attacked and the atmosphere is extremely tense.More than [-] people gathered in the city.But it looks like a dead city.Occasionally someone walks the streets of the city.But it looks lifeless.

And on the city.Everyone is busy defending the city.The shouting and killing continued from afternoon to night.But the city is brightly lit.The Fusang army of nearly [-] people who attacked the city of Yangzhou had already lit torches one after another.This look is seen from a distance.It's like a group of people are attacking a dead city.

On the tower.All those who defend against enemy attacks.No matter whether it is the defenders or the people who have been recruited, there has been no drop of water so far.Everyone is hungry.But all are holding on.Because they know.This city is absolutely invincible.There are their families, friends, and countless people in the city.

Although there are tens of thousands of people in the city.It is more than ten times the number of enemy soldiers who came to attack.But most of these people are civilians who are powerless.This land in the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous and prosperous.There are few wars and harassments.And the people here are used to this kind of ordinary life.No better than those people living in the northern border of Daming.

so.The number of people is not the decisive factor.As long as the gate of Yangzhou City is breached.Then the people in the city will definitely suffer.Just until then.What will happen to them.Then it depends on these enemies.

Gradually.Zhang Fan felt that the knife in his hand was getting heavier and heavier.The stomach is empty.He was originally a frail scholar, how could he still have the strength to swing a knife to kill the enemy.Several times it collided with the long sword of the enemy soldier.The knife mark in his hand was easily knocked away.Moreover, Zhang Fan's thoughts began to become a little confused now.It's not like he didn't have a time when he was with the army for several days and nights without rest.But at that time, he was not in charge of fighting at all.But now.It's only half a day.He was so tired that he was about to fall down.If it weren't for the huge threat around him all the time.He had already collapsed to the ground.

"My lord. Are you all right?" Wang Meng saw some clues.Knocked down an enemy.Come to Zhang Fan.asked nervously.

"It's okay. It's just..." Zhang Fan couldn't speak.Now everyone in the city is killing the enemy.Everyone is shouting.Even a woman like Yingyue is very active.Killed many enemy soldiers.But now he was asked to say that he was so hungry that he had no strength left.Wouldn't he lose all face in the future?

Zhang Fan actually didn't know at all.Whether it is Wang Meng in front of him.Still on the side is Yingyue.Or other people on the tower.He was already hungry.It's just that it doesn't matter whether it's soldiers or civilians.They are all used to this kind of days without eating.Although very hungry.But they all held on.Although Zhang Fan was not a wealthy family no matter in his previous life or in his current life.But never hungry.I have experienced such a situation where I have to do such strenuous exercise without physical strength.

Only now.Wang Meng and a group of people are alive and well.Zhang Fan now looks so sluggish and dishonest.Wang Meng thought he was injured just now.

"My lord. They are retreating again." Liang Chaogao shouted and ran over.

"What? Backed off again." After Zhang Fan heard it.Show surprise.Then he looked worried again. "Could it be another trick of theirs this time?"

"I don't think it's the same this time." Wang Meng stood up and walked to the arrow stack and looked down the city.Said. "Just now they almost attacked the city tower. They can attack with more force. But they retreated suddenly. I'm afraid there must be some reason for it."

"The reason." Zhang Fan secretly chewed these two words in his mouth.I thought a lot about it.But I can't think of a reason.

"Moreover, my lord. Their attack this time is very strange." Wang Meng said.

"Strange. How should I say it?" Zhang Fan asked.

"After they captured Suzhou City, we asserted that those people who stayed in the city and did not escape would definitely be murdered by them." Wang Meng said. "But after that. The people we sent heard the news. They didn't hurt any people in the city at all. And now. They attacked this Yangzhou city. They retreated twice. And each time they were about to break through here. It’s time to retreat. It’s totally unreasonable.”

"That's what you said. It's really like this." Zhang Fan dragged his chin and thought about it.Sudden.he looked up. "I almost forgot."

"What did your lord remember?" Wang Meng hurriedly asked.Yingyue, Liang Chao, Wan Zhong and others who were on the side also gathered when they heard Zhang Fan's words.Want to hear what happened.

"It seems that you have forgotten the reason why these Fusang soldiers crossed the sea to attack us this time." Zhang Fan said with a smile.

"The reason." I heard Zhang Fan say this.Several people lowered their heads and thought.

"They wanted us to think that someone sent troops to attack us," Zhang Fan said. "In this way, this matter cannot be too extreme. If they do something like a massacre here, I am afraid that our emperor and the court will definitely not easily bypass them. When that time comes .If the imperial court issues an edict of crusade and sends a large army to Fusang, then it is very likely that that person will be affected. In this way, although they have calculated their own enemies, they have also involved themselves gone."

"My lord means that. All they have to do is let us know. But it's not to do anything more ruthless here." Wan Zhong said.He didn't dare to say anything like massacre the people.

"That's right. That's right." Zhang Fan nodded and said. "It's just one thing I'm concerned about right now. It's been a while since they attacked. The damage they've done is almost done. Attacking this city of Yangzhou was probably just to make sure we'd be angry. But why did they No news has come through yet."

"Lord be careful."

Zhang Fan just finished speaking.Wang Meng next to him pulled him down again.An arrow roared and shot over.
