The city gate was opened and the enemy climbed onto the tower.

The two helped each other to their feet again, picked up their weapons, and faced the enemy.

Zhao Lu was actually very calm as he looked back on his life.

He became famous at a young age, achieved success as a young man, and went smoothly. He has done several good deeds for the country and the people in his life, and has received praise from many people. He has also done many bad things that were unreasonable to God, and made people hate him to the bone.

As the official gets bigger, the distance between him and the people becomes further.

He could no longer remember how long it had been since he visited the people, nor could he remember the last time he had a conversation with the people and asked about their sufferings. It had been a long time ago.

He is very busy, busy dealing with the court, busy engaging in intrigues with his colleagues, busy cultivating his cronies to attack dissidents, and busy collecting money!

In the final analysis, Jiu Zhou was responsible for this disaster of the Wu clan, and he could not escape his involvement. Thinking of the Fang Inkstone, he suddenly felt very ridiculous. He had been living like a dog these years, and he was completely confused about what was lighter and what was more important.

.

Looking at the people around the county who were fighting against the enemy with all their strength, he felt remorse and guilt for the first time in his life. As a parent official, he had not done enough, far from enough!

But there's no chance, I'm sorry!

When the Wu clan general smashed his head with the blood-smelling mace, the last thought in his mind was: If there is an afterlife, be a good person!

Looking at the enemy troops, Wen Deng came to the city, struggled to gather the remaining troops around him, and then rode on horseback, preparing for a decisive battle with the enemy troops.

"Brothers, pick up your weapons and fight these bastards! Come with me and charge!"

Some remnant soldiers began to gather around him. Most of these people were injured, but their eyes were firm and there was no sign of cowardice. At this time, the only option was to move forward bravely!

Wen Deng took one last look at the county city. Fires were everywhere in the city. He could not protect these people, but he was only willing to try his best to kill as many bandits as possible, even if he shed the last drop of blood!

Try your best to fight for a glimmer of life for the people of the county and city, even if it is a slim glimmer...

"Kill!" He waved the knife in his hand, roared and rode forward.

"Kill!" The soldiers behind him followed closely.

They launched a final charge towards the enemy.

The enemies in front included Wu clan soldiers and former compatriots. Wen Deng rode forward, waved the Mo Dao in his hand, and cut off the head of a rebel general.

The head drew a parabola in the air with blood, and fell heavily to the ground. His eyes were open, still with an incredible look of horror.

Another rebel general took the opportunity to slash Wen Deng's back severely. Wen Deng immediately jumped forward and fell off his horse. However, he endured the severe pain and still slashed the rebel general's back with his Mo Dao.

The hind legs of the war horse were cut off.

The rebel general on horseback was caught off guard and fell off his horse. Wen Deng then slashed his head with another knife, splitting his head in half, and blood and brains splattered everywhere.

Wen Deng felt his vision go dark, but he still held on to his body and gasped for air, trying not to fall down.

"Boohoo!"

Three arrows shot at Wen Deng from the top, middle and bottom with a sound of piercing the air. Wen Deng barely managed to deflect the arrow that hit his neck, but the other two arrows could not be blocked no matter what.

The arrows pierced his thigh, and one pierced his heart.

He felt as if his body had lost all strength and his eyes began to blur. He glanced at the top of the city tower and saw Zhao Lu's body lying on the city wall, his head lowered, as if he was repenting to the people of the county and city.

Wen Deng's body fell back heavily, and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

A rebel general cut off Wen Deng's head and put it on the tip of a spear. He was still glaring at the enemy with wide eyes.

"Silly boy, will we die too?"

"meeting!"

"I haven't married yet!"

"It's all those people who caused the harm!"

"Kill, kill one and that's enough!"

They picked up the sword of the soldier who died not far away. There were already countless gaps in the blade, but it didn't matter, as long as it could still kill the enemy!

"I will cut off a piece of flesh from you even if I die!" Hanwa roared and rushed towards a Wu clan soldier.

Behind them, the Wu cavalry passed by them, and their heads were chopped off with long swords. Their blood mixed with their husbands and family members, dyeing the land of the county red.

In the county and city, no one surrendered, whether it was soldiers or civilians.

A rebel soldier raised his weapon towards an old woman, threatening the old woman, hoping to make her surrender. The old woman held a crutch and cursed: "You traitors who don't care about your ancestors, even if you die, you don't want to fight with us."

You live under the same sky!"

As he spoke, he raised the crutch in his hand...

Mu Kuotai and Li Muhua successively ordered people to shout many times, hoping that Wen Deng and Zhao Lu would surrender, and promised high-ranking officials generous salaries, but each time Wen Deng shot an arrow through the throat of the person who shouted.

After capturing the county town, the Wu clan paid a heavy price. Less than a thousand Zhou soldiers surrendered, and the Wu clan soldiers also paid nearly 20,000 lives, which made Mu Kuotai very angry.

These Wu Clan soldiers were all members of his Black Wolf Tribe and elite cavalry of the Great Xia Kingdom. He felt deeply angry that they had suffered such heavy losses in a small county!

He ordered people to chop the bodies of Zhao Lu and Wen Deng into meat paste, and then ordered the massacre of the city!

Before leaving, he built a palace outside the county city to intimidate the three counties in the south of Dingzhou that had not yet surrendered.

The fall of Shangjun made the officials of the three surrounding counties deeply frightened. They took their families with them and abandoned the city to escape. When the common people saw that all the officials had fled, they also fled with them.

Some are heading south and some are heading west, like headless flies with no direction.

There are only a few hundred sergeants left in the county. They were the ones left here after Zhao Lu transferred the troops to maintain order. Now they have dispersed. At this time, no one can care about anyone, not even the defending generals.

They were all the first to escape, and the soldiers below followed suit.

Some of these people formed gangs and took over as kings, while others mixed with the ranks of refugees and fled for their lives.

The Wu Clan army went all the way south, and only encountered resistance from a small group of troops in Ke County. These people were Shi Kaichang's subordinates. They fought to the end, but they did not stop the Wu Clan's iron heel advance. The other county guards were all

They fled in the face of the wind. Mu Kuotai and the others gained the remaining three counties without fighting.

Those common people dragging their families with them could not run far at all, and were soon overtaken by the Wu cavalry. Mu Kuotai ordered the soldiers to take all these people and drive them together to Dingning Pass.

Along the way, there was a mighty procession of refugees, which was more than ten miles long. Their belongings had already been looted, and those who resisted even slightly were killed.

At this point, the entire Dingzhou is under their control.

Mu Kuotai and Li Muhua led the army to Dingning Pass. At this time, the army led by Zhao Lie had just arrived at Dingning Pass. Before he could lead his army out to assist Shangjun, Shangjun had already fallen.
