Chapter 407 of

Until night, many people were still busy on the walls of Yidu City.Someone demolished the masonry buildings in the city to repair the collapsed battlements and watchtowers, and someone dug a big pit under the city to bury the corpses on the spot.

The city was very quiet, most of the ordinary people had already turned off the lights, curled up in the corners of their homes, and hoped that the fight would pass quickly.Occasionally, faint sobs could be heard, which were stopped by the family members around him.

Zhang Lin's mansion was also very quiet.Like the outside world, there is tension and fear in this silence.

Dozens of guards were holding knives, guns, bows and crossbows, carefully guarding several entrances inside and outside the mansion, while Zhang Lin himself sat in the main hall, neither speaking nor moving.

Zhang Lin is a native of Yidu Prefecture. Earlier Wanyan Sala led his troops to withdraw from Yidu. Zhang Lin took this as a good opportunity, so he began to cultivate his own power. rather.

But in such troubled times, in a big city like Yidu, how could he manage it slowly?Not long after Wanyan Sasha's defeat, Yang An'er's forces arrived, and then Li Quan actually controlled the city. Locals like Zhang Lin were more used as a cover, held high and making noises, but there was nothing When grounded.

At the same time, the Ding Navy is also in Shandong. Not only is the army mighty, but the management of the area is also orderly. Its prosperity is obviously very different from Yang An'er's wild way, and it is much stronger than Li Quan's power.

Zhang Lin's former colleague Yan Ning and Yan Ning's boss Wang Shixian expressed goodwill to Zhang Lin through various channels and made many promises.This inevitably made Zhang Lin have other ideas.

But he is an extremely cautious person, he doesn't show up in person, only let Jiang Jing and Jin Dai, his capable subordinates, get in touch with Ding Haijun.

Not long ago, he got the news that Ding Haijun outside had contacted Jiang Jing and Jin Dai, and he was so excited that he danced in the hall for a while.

Then there is no text.

Not to mention the important event to be done, Jiang Jing and Jin Dai disappeared, along with their subordinates.Zhang Lin sent several people to the city to inquire, but they were all stopped by Liu Qingfu.

Zhang Lin was a smart man. He immediately took a few of his cronies and tried to leave his mansion through a small hidden door, only to find that the mansion was surrounded by Liu Qingfu's subordinates.

Not good.

Big bad.

Are Jiang Jing and Jin Dai exposed?died?Is their subordinate dead?That guy Liu Qingfu is a fierce person, will he use excuses to implicate me?
Zhang Lin had no choice but to sit back in his living room, in the shadows out of sight of his subordinates, he was already sweating profusely.

While he was at a loss, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door lightly, and the leader of the soldiers called softly: "Zhizhong, Zhizhong, General Liu sent someone to invite Zhizhong, please go to the gate of the city."

Send someone to invite?

Instead of coming to kill with a knife?
Zhang Lin suddenly felt a little hopeful.He gritted his teeth, got up abruptly, opened the door and went out: "Take two people and follow me once."

When they arrived outside the mansion, they were greeted by a group of red-coated cavalry.The person in charge was known to Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin asked him what, although he didn't know what to ask, but he was very polite.

When we arrived at the north gate, we suddenly heard another commotion outside the city.

Could it be that the Navy has another move?
Zhang Lin took three steps and two steps in parallel, stepped on the stairs to the city, and when he was near the end of the stairs, he stopped suddenly.

On the top of the city, four to five hundred soldiers in white Jurchen collar robes lined up from far and near, and under the deep night, they were full of murderous aura.And under the eaves of the tower surrounded by soldiers, stood two people.

One of them looked respectful and bent slightly. It was Liu Qingfu who had fought secretly with Zhang Linming.This person is a general under Li Quan's command, second only to Li Quan's elder brother Li Fu.A while ago, because of the dispute over the salt field, Liu Qingfu dispatched thousands of people to forcibly enter Yidu, taking complete control of Yidu from Zhang Lin.

But at this time, Liu Qingfu's posture was like that of a follower.

He was treated respectfully and respectfully by an unusually tall general in heavy armor.His face was hidden under the deep brim of the helmet, so he couldn't see clearly; but the long-handled hammer in his hand, shaped like a drum vertebra and shining coldly, was very conspicuous.

The cavalry leader following Zhang Lin pushed Zhang Lin, making him stagger to the top of the wall.

Zhang Lin sighed, and said to Liu Qingfu, "It turns out that Marshal Li Quan has taken refuge in the Pu San Propaganda Envoy in Hebei."

Liu Qingfu sneered twice: "Zhang Lin, you have good eyesight."

Zhang Lin turned to the tall armored general, and bowed in salute: "This one must be the fierce general under the command of Pu Sanxuan, the famous 'Lu Guzhui'. In Zhang Lin, I saw He Shilie prosecute."

This general's name is Heshi Lie Yawu Tower, and he is the number one hero under Pu San Anzhen's command. He is responsible for leading a Jurchen Meng An who is all in iron armor. heavy hammer.

In the early years when Pu San Anzhen was an official in Shandong, Heshi Lie Yawu Tower was the leader of the personal guards, and he fought repeatedly with the Shandong volunteers who were entrenched in Mount Tai, causing heavy killings.

In every battle, he must charge forward and be invincible.Because he used iron vertebrae to kill people, the heads of the enemies who died under his hands would often burst, which was extremely tragic, so he was nicknamed "Lu Guzhui". Children in Shandong Province did not dare to cry at night when they heard his name.

Since the beginning of this year, Pu San Anzhen has been serving as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, and immediately appointed Heshi Lie Yawuta as the military commander, in charge of Hebei's elite soldiers.

How could Liu Qingfu dare to confront Dinghai Jiedushi Guo Ning with two to 3000 people under his command.Zhang Lin didn't know it at first, but now he figured it out.

With the support of the Jurchens from Hebei, Li Quan is confident.And Pu San Anzhen's support for Li Quan was beyond imagination, and she even dispatched such a powerful force.

Zhang Lin's thoughts turned, but Heshi Lieyawuta only looked at him coldly, without saying a word.

He didn't speak, but Zhang Lin didn't dare to lift his bowed body.

I just felt that the murderous man was staring at the back of his head all the time, and his thick fingers were slowly rubbing the iron spine, making a rustling sound. In a blink of an eye, Zhang Lin's back was sweating again.

After a while, Heshi Lie Yawuta's rough and deep voice sounded: "Ding Haijun will attack the city again, Zhang Lin, what do you want to say?"

Zhang Lin hesitated for a while.

With his face turned to the ground, he tried his best to listen, and sure enough, he heard the footsteps of a large group of troops approaching outside the city, it was Ding Haijun forming an array.

And a hundred steps to the west of the city tower, there was the sound of archers plucking strings again and again. It was the defenders trying to push back a certain unit that was approaching with arrows, and many people were carrying rolling wood and stones in that direction, preparing to throw them.

After a while, there was the sound of swishing arrows being fired from below the city. It seemed that a part of Ding Haijun had reached the bottom of the city wall and began to shoot upwards, covering the entire city wall.

Ding Hai is planning to attack the city overnight?
That Guo Jiedu became angry because there was no response from the city?

In this regard, Zhang Lin really didn't know what to say.He asked, "This...general, what do you want to know?"

A rough laugh came from Heshi Lie Yawuta's throat.

"Bring it up," he said.

Following his order, more than a dozen soldiers pushed and shoved from the inside of the city tower, driving out more than [-] people.

All the people in the group were covered in blood, they were extremely embarrassed, and their bodies were tied up. It was Zhang Lin's confidant Jin Dai and others.

Under Zhang Lin's staring eyes, the soldiers pushed Jin Dai and others down.

Heshi Lie Yawuta strode to stand next to one person, lightly raised the hammer, and gave a pause.

The bones were shattered under the thick hammer, and brains and blood burst out from the huge depression on the side of the skull.The tightly bound body twitched crazily twice, and did not move.

"I brought 1000 elite soldiers to Yidu." Heshi Lie Yawuta said slowly: "It is enough to defend the city until the army of Pu San Xuan envoy arrives. I just want to know that this Guo Ning stormed Yidu The government seems to be very sure, what is he relying on?"

"This, this... He Shilie is prosecuted, how do I know this?" Zhang Lin said shyly.

Heshi Lie Yawu Tower took two steps to the side.

The one who is close to him is Jin Dai.Jin Dai tried his best to twist his body, trying to avoid the murderer.But when Heshi Lie Yawuta lifted his foot, he stepped on his chest.The weight of the sturdy body and the heavy armor immediately made people unable to move.

Heshi Lie Yawu Tower raised the hammer and pressed it on Jin Dai's face.

He grinned and smiled at Zhang Lin, then exerted a little force on his wrist, and paused again.

The sound of fighting on the west side of the tower became a little more intense. Hearing the shouts of the defenders, it seemed that Ding Haijun, under the cover of a large shield, pushed something over and placed it under the city.

Under the dense shouts and the sound of arrows piercing through the air, before Zhang Lin's eyes, the sound of Jin Dai's facial bones cracking was like an eggshell being smashed.

The eggshell shattered, and the yolk and white spilled all over the floor.

Heshi Lie Yawu Pagoda continued to walk aside.At this moment, all the captives who were pushed to the ground screamed wildly, twisted their bodies, and tried to leave. Some exchanged tears and begged Zhang Lin for mercy in despair.

"This afternoon, I thought that Guo Ning was relying on the internal support in the city. But I have killed all those rats who intended to respond to the Ding Navy, and the rest are here. So, what else does he have to do?" Use it? I really want to know."

Heshi Lie Yawuta stepped on the third person's chest with his heavy leather boots, and swung the hammer in his hand.

"Prosecute! Prosecute you to see!"

At this time, the sound of fighting on the west side of the city gate suddenly stopped.

The defenders shouted repeatedly, calling for Heshi Lie Yawu Tower.

Heshi Lie Yawu Tower raised his foot in disappointment, and walked quickly towards the city wall.

The city wall happened to be within Zhang Lin's line of sight. He quickly glanced at it from a long distance away, only to see that Ding Haijun had already retreated more than a hundred paces away.And right below the city wall, close to the wall...

There is a depression three or four feet deep, which is the gap between the old and new rammed earth after the old city wall collapsed.As the years passed, the gap tended to get bigger and bigger, and Zhang Lin thought about sending someone to plug it up.

Right now, there was something new in the depression, and under the flickering firelight, Zhang Lin could see clearly that it was a coffin.

Even though Zhang Lin was in great danger, he couldn't help but rubbed his eyes.

That's right, it's really a coffin, a big, boxy, dark coffin.

What does this mean?Dinghai launched an attack, and then brought a coffin and stuffed it into a gap in the city wall?Is this some kind of desperation technique?

The defenders talked one after another.The Heshi Lie Yawu Pagoda is on the top of the city wall, and he also leans out to look down.

Zhang Lin turned his gaze, and then looked at the direction of the navy.

I saw an ape-armed general pointing towards the coffin with his bow and arrow.Zhang Lin's eyes were good, and he immediately recognized that the arrow was a rocket.
