The barbarians who were still attacking the city outside the city suddenly became chaotic when they saw the reinforcements coming.
And those who had already entered the city were also panicked and quickly became confused.
Wanyan Hashi saw that the situation was not good, so he turned around and ran away with his soldiers, not caring about the people in the city.
Zhou Wuchang rode a horse, followed by his disciple Zhou Hao and a dozen guards. He followed the team into the enemy group and slashed at the enemy with a long-handled sword.
They came with more than 2,000 cavalry and more than 3,000 infantry this time, specifically to attack when Wanyan Hashi entered the city, and they would definitely be able to drive away more than 7,000 barbarians.
As expected, Wanyan Hashi was attacked from both sides and lost his fighting spirit, so he fled with a large group of troops.
Zhou Wuchang did not chase him, but concentrated on taking care of the remaining bandits.
Not long after, the barbarians outside the city fled to death, and those inside the city were also killed one by one by Zhang Taishou and his men.
After that, he quickly ordered people to clear the city gate to welcome the Daqian reinforcements into the city.
And the prefect's mansion was also being attacked by a group of barbarians. Dozens of cavalry broke open the gate and rushed into the mansion, trying to rob the governor's family. As a result, they fought fiercely with the guards and slaves in the mansion.
Ying Bao and his younger brother Hu Zi worked together to knock down two barbarians, and the three of them were injured as a result.
Mrs. Zhang also took off her long skirt and put on a short jacket. She held a machete and fought with the cavalry.
She was protected by three or four guards, so she was not injured.
The lady in the kitchen picked up a pot of boiling oil and poured it on a barbarian, causing him to scald and scream.
The two aunts and several older maidservants also each held sticks and forks, and one of them also carried a stool, waving them at the bandits.
But these old and weak women and children were no match for dozens of barbarian bandits, and they all soon lost their fortune, and two of the servants also died.
Just as several barbarian bandits surrounded Ying Bao and the other two men and slashed them with knives, suddenly a large stone as big as a tabletop flew towards them, hitting one of them and causing him to fall to the ground dead.
The other people were stunned and before they could react, they were also knocked down by the big rocks coming towards them.
Huzi and the Zhang family opened their mouths in surprise.
I saw Ying Bao running towards a barbarian bandit quickly. With a wave of his arm, a stone as big as a washbasin flew out and hit the man on the waist.
The barbarian immediately fell to the ground and howled.
Ying Bao knocked down several people in succession, and the barbarian bandits reacted and surrounded them with howls.
Mrs. Zhang and others could not get what they wanted, so they chased after them and attacked.
That's it, the battle situation is slightly even.
After that, another group of people rushed into the prefect's mansion.
“Senior Brother! Second Senior Brother!” Yingbao immediately recognized the leaders as Zhou Hao and Zhang Min, and jumped up happily.
Zhou Hao and Zhang Min nodded towards her, and before they had time to ask questions, they raised their knives and rushed toward dozens of barbarians.
They also brought hundreds of soldiers with them and started fighting with the barbarians.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang took Yingbao and her children into the house to avoid being accidentally injured.
There were many injured servants and guards in the house, so Yingbao took out medicinal powder and pills from her bag and distributed them to them.
Everyone looked at Yingbao, but they all wanted to speak but stopped.
Yingbao didn't explain the stone incident just now. He only lowered his head to clean the wounds of his younger brother and Huzi.
The two children had several scratches on their bodies, including a wound on Jiang Wu’s arm that was so deep that the bones were visible.
Yingbao was so heartbroken that she quickly cleaned him up, took out a needle and thread to sew up the wound, then covered it with Wuding Zhi and wound medicine powder, and bandaged it.
Huzi was also injured in several places, including one on his back.
Fortunately, he wore a thick cowhide waistcoat under his clothes, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, they had all learned martial arts and were quick to dodge. Otherwise, the barbarian would have cut off the tiger's head with just one blow.
The two servants lying in the yard are living examples. Their heads were chopped off by the barbarians.
Half an hour later, the battle in the yard ended. All thirty or so barbarians were killed and carried out of the prefect's mansion by soldiers one after another.
Zhang Xuehua and the two little sisters were released from the inner courtyard by the maid.
Yingbao ran to find Zhou Hao: "Elder brother, is the master here too?"
"Yeah." Zhou Hao was as cold as ever, "Master also called Xiao Mo in order to save you...to save Jingzhou. We met General Zhong's men again halfway, so we simply came together."
Jingzhou is an important military route. Once the barbarians open this gap, they can go all the way south to Luzhou.
That’s why Jingzhou cannot be conquered.
Yingbao cannot die even more.
Ying Bao: "Where is the master? I want to go see him." By the way, he thanked him for his life-saving grace.
"Master is busy. You should heal your injuries first." After speaking, Zhou Hao left with a group of people, but left twenty or thirty people to guard the prefect's mansion.
In the evening, Mrs. Zhang took several maids to the kitchen to cook meals for the injured servants in the house.
He also spent a large amount of silver to provide burial and pension benefits to the dead servants, and also paid a year's salary to all the servants and maids in the house.
To the two aunts, Mrs. Zhang sent some silver and clothing materials to let them rest peacefully.
After dinner, Mrs. Zhang came to see the Yingbao.
“Thanks to you today, we were able to survive the rescue.”
Mrs. Zhang bowed respectfully to Ying Bao, which frightened Ying Bao and quickly returned the salute: "Madam, please don't say that. I was just trying to save myself."
At times like that, I really can’t care about anything.
Either watch Huzi and the Zhang family die, or expose his abilities, Yingbao really has no choice.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang didn't ask anything. She just thanked her and gave her a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water quality.
Even if Ying Bao didn’t know it, he knew that these jade bracelets were extremely valuable.
Yingbao refused to accept it.
Because she was afraid that it would be broken when she was wearing it while working.
“It’s not worth anything, just keep it.” Mrs. Zhang grabbed Ying Bao’s arm and put a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists.
Having no other choice, Ying Bao had no choice but to accept it and thank Mrs. Zhang.
In the next few days, Ying Bao took his younger brother and Hu Zi to recover from their injuries in Zhang Mansion.
The servants in the mansion were all very respectful when they saw her, and even spoke of her as a little heavenly master.
On this day, Zhou Wuchang finally arrived.
Yingbao had a lot to say to his master, so he immediately ran to the front yard.
In the front yard, she not only saw Xiao Mo, but also Chu Yan, who was dressed in military uniform, exactly the same as in his previous life.
Yingbao looked around him curiously and asked, "Are you brother Chu Yan?"
Chu Yan smiled at her and nodded: "Yingbao, long time no see."
“It’s been a long time indeed.” Several years have passed since Chu Yan left Dongchen Village with Uncle Xu Kun.
Zhou Wuchang said from the side: "His surname is Zhong, and he is the grandson of General Zhong of the Western Army."
Ying Bao blinked.
The grandson of the Zhong family of Xijun? No wonder Xiao Mo was able to lead the Western Army to usurp the throne. Zhong Chuyan was by his side to help him emotionally.
Hear Chu Yan say: "My current name is Zhong Chuyan. Yingbao, when you go back, help me bring something to my sisters and the others."
Ying Bao asked curiously: "Don't you go back and take a look? Sister Chu Chu's Niuniu is already several years old, and Heidan is several months old."
Chu Yan shook his head: "I will go back to see them when I have the chance."
