NOVEL NEXT Chapter 171
The atmosphere in the Jizhou Governor's Mansion was extremely tense.
Zhang Baiqi led the Yellow Turban Army into the mansion like a tide, with fanaticism and murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
Lu Zhi stood in the center of the courtyard, looking at the surging enemy in front of him with a solemn face, and an unyielding fighting spirit surged in his heart.
He ordered the soldiers to resist without hesitation, but the Yellow Turban Army was numerous and the offensive was fierce, and the soldiers gradually fell into a passive position.
"Kill!" Zhang Baiqi waved the silver spear in his hand and roared, inspiring the morale of the Yellow Turban Army. His eyes were sharp and firm, and he rushed towards Lu Zhi and others without fear.
Lu Zhi tightly grasped the long sword in his hand. He flashed and avoided the attack of a Yellow Turban Army, and quickly fought back, knocking the opponent to the ground.
However, more Yellow Turban Army rushed forward, making it difficult for him to deal with.
"Sir, we must break out!" Tian Feng shouted anxiously.
He held a sword and kept killing the surrounding Yellow Turban Army, but the number of enemies was increasing and the pressure was increasing.
Lu Zhi took a deep breath and responded loudly: "We can't retreat! We must hold on here!" His voice was full of firmness and majesty, inspiring the soldiers around him.
Ju Shou stood silently aside, holding a sharp sword, his eyes calm and focused, he observed the battle situation, looking for the best time to counterattack.
Time passed by minute by minute, after more than 20 minutes of fierce fighting, the governor's mansion was already a river of blood.
In the end, only Lu Zhi, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou could barely stand.
Zhang Baiqi looked at them with a sneer, and the silver spear in his hand flashed with cold light.
"Hmph, you dog officials, you dare to resist, today I will let you see how powerful I am!"
Lu Zhi glared at Zhang Baiqi, his eyes full of anger and unyielding: "Hmph, I want to see what you, a traitor, can do!"
Zhang Baiqi smiled disdainfully and said: "Lu Zhi, do you think you still have a chance? Now that the situation is set, you'd better surrender! Maybe I will spare your life."
Lu Zhi gritted his teeth and said: "Don't even think about it! I, Lu Zhi, would rather die than surrender!"
Zhang Baiqi's face became gloomy, he swung the silver spear in his hand and stabbed at Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi dodged sideways and swung his sword back at the same time. The two of them fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who would win for a while.
Seeing this, Tian Feng and Ju Shou joined the battle.
They worked closely together and fought fiercely with Zhang Baiqi.
"Go to hell!" Zhang Baiqi roared, and he used all his strength to shoot Lu Zhi in the shoulder.
Lu Zhi groaned and took a few steps back, but still persisted tenaciously.
Tian Feng and Ju Shou hurried forward to support Lu Zhi, and their faces showed concern. "Sir, are you okay?"
Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "It's okay, keep fighting!"
They cheered up and continued to fight with Zhang Baiqi.
Every confrontation was accompanied by sparks, and both sides showed their tenacity.
"Damn it!" Zhang Baiqi cursed in his heart.
He originally thought he could easily defeat his opponent, but he didn't expect to encounter such stubborn resistance. He decided not to reserve his strength and go all out.
"Watch this!" Zhang Baiqi launched another fierce attack, and his spear skills were like a storm, making it impossible to avoid.
Although Lu Zhi, Tian Feng and Ju Shou fought hard, they were still injured.
Finally, in a fierce battle, Lu Zhi was hit in the abdomen by Zhang Baiqi's spear and fell to the ground.
Tian Feng and Ju Shou were horrified. They wanted to help Lu Zhi up, but Zhang Baiqi took the opportunity to repel them.
"Haha, you court officials are not my opponents after all!" Zhang Baiqi laughed triumphantly.
Tian Feng and Ju Shou looked at each other. They knew that the situation was over, but they still refused to surrender. "Zhang Baiqi, even if we die here, we will not bow to you!"
Zhang Baiqi sneered and said, "In this case, don't blame me for being rude!" He raised his silver spear and prepared to give them a fatal blow.
At this moment, a shout came from a distance. "Stop!" A figure holding a spear rushed over. It was Gao Lan, the general of the Jizhou Army.
Gao Lan had a furious face and a flash of anger in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn everything in front of him.
However, before he rushed into the Jizhou Governor's Mansion, Dian Wei grabbed Gao Lan's horsetail.
Dian Wei grabbed Gao Lan's horsetail tightly with both hands and pulled it hard, directly dragging Gao Lan and his horse to the ground.
This sudden change caught Gao Lan off guard. His body drew an arc in the air and then fell heavily to the ground.
Then, Xu Chu rushed out from the side. His speed was extremely fast, like a cannonball.
Xu Chu directlySitting on Gao Lan's body, Gao Lan suddenly felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, unable to move.
Then, Xu Chu quickly took out the rope and tied Gao Lan tightly.
Zhang Baiqi saw this scene and his confidence increased greatly.
He knew the strength of Dian Wei and Xu Chu very well. They were both fierce generals under Yuan Shao and had great martial arts skills.
"Hey!" Dian Wei shouted, as deafening as thunder.
His body was like an iron tower, majestic.
Dian Wei directly crashed into Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi had no time to react and was directly knocked out by Dian Wei.
Lu Zhi's body rolled in the air and finally fell heavily to the ground.
Then, Dian Wei's movements did not stop at all. His two hands were like iron clamps, hugging Tian Feng and Ju Shou's necks and pressing them hard to the ground. Tian Feng and Ju Shou struggled, but to no avail.
Zhang Baiqi immediately brought people up and tied up Lu Zhi, Tian Feng and Ju Shou.
They tied the three people with thick hemp ropes to ensure that they could not escape. The whole process was clean and neat, leaving no chance for the enemy to breathe.
Lu Zhi was knocked unconscious and speechless for a while.
However, Tian Feng and Ju Shou were still tenacious and were about to insult Dian Wei.
"Hey, looking at your expressions, you want to scold me, right?" How could Dian Wei let them succeed? He immediately took off his shoes and blocked Tian Feng and Ju Shou's mouths with his stinky socks.
Despite this, Tian Feng and Ju Shou still tried to continue to abuse, but Dian Wei could only hear the vague whimpering sounds they made.
"Take them down first and find a military doctor to treat them. Don't let them die now!" Dian Wei turned to Zhang Baiqi and said.
Zhang Baiqi quickly obeyed the order and said, "Yes!" Then, Zhang Baiqi took Lu Zhi, Tian Feng and Ju Su away, while Dian Wei and Xu Chu stayed in the Jizhou Governor's Mansion and began to search the mansion.
In the end, the money found added up to less than a thousand coins. Xu Chu complained, "Lu Zhi is really poor!"
What they didn't know was that because the court didn't give enough military pay, all the money Lu Zhi saved was used to subsidize the military pay.
