    If Nanpi City cannot be captured and Liu Zhe cannot be captured, Geng Bao will die without a burial place if he waits for Liu Zhe's army to arrive.

    When he thought that he would become a prisoner, be humiliated by Liu Zhe, and finally be slowly tortured to death, Geng Bao was angry and anxious. In the end, he simply spit out a mouthful of blood and fell off the horse.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took before Geng Bao woke up leisurely.

    Geng Bao opened his eyes and saw that he was in the camp. As soon as he woke up, someone immediately noticed him. Finally, Kong Shun and others came over.

    "Grand Administrator Geng, you're finally awake." Seeing Geng Bao wake up, Kong Shun and others were obviously happy on their faces.

    "How long have I been unconscious?" Geng Bao remembered the time he fell off his horse and asked, covering his head.

    "It's been more than a day."

    ¡°What, it¡¯s been so long?¡± Geng Bao was startled.

    "Where is Nanpi City?"

    Geng Bao couldn't care about anything else. When he heard that he had been unconscious for so long, he became anxious and asked quickly: "Has Nanpi City been captured?"

    "The siege has not started yet." Kong Shun and others replied.

    "What?"

    Geng Bao was stunned at first, then became furious and asked: "Why?"

    Kong Shun and others looked at each other, but no one said anything. Geng Bao understood their actions immediately.

    They were frightened by Liu Zhe, who started killing the rebel families on the city wall. The heads rolling down on the ground frightened them, and they could not muster the courage to order an attack.

    ¡°To attack, we must attack.¡±

    Geng Bao struggled to get up, and Ji Zhe said to everyone: "Immediately order the attack. Liu Zhe cannot be allowed to be complacent."

    "Can you win?"

    Someone asked, with surprise and fear in their tone. Even after more than a day, the heads rolling down from the city wall still caused a great shock to them.

    "Can I win by just waiting here?"

    Geng Bao said angrily. He glanced at everyone and his heart sank. Many people had hesitation and fear on their faces. They had already developed a sense of fear towards Liu Zhe and were already thinking of retreating.

    "Don't forget, even if you retreat now, will Liu Zhe let you go?" Geng Bao said.

    "What we are doing now is to raise this person's head. Either Liu Zhe dies or we die. Now, no matter what, we have to attack, even if it means a pile of human lives, we must capture Nanpi City. Otherwise,  Everyone must die."

    Geng Bao¡¯s words made everyone¡¯s expressions change again.

    "Well said."

    Meng Dai spoke up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Prefect Geng is right. Either Liu Zhe dies or we die. Prefect Geng, please give the order. I am willing to take the lead and capture Nanpi City in one fell swoop."

    Geng Bao was relieved that someone finally agreed with him.

    "In that case, I'd like to trouble you, Governor Meng. You and Governor Tao will take command and we must capture Nanpi City."

    Most of them, Geng Bao, were civil servants. Only Meng Dai, Tao Sheng and a few others were military generals, so the military attaches still had to do the siege.

    "Don't worry, we will capture Nanpi City." Meng Dai said, patting his chest.

    ?¡­

    "kill!"

    The rebels below set up ladders one after another and kept swarming up.

    "kill!"

    The defenders on the city wall continued to fight back, shooting down wave after wave of bows and arrows. Each soldier held a shield to resist the bows and arrows shot from below. Another person exposed his body under the cover of the shield and pushed the ladder down vigorously.

    The rebels below were numerous and were constantly attacking. Although the defenders on the city were not as numerous as the rebels, they occupied a geographical advantage and defended the city, constantly shooting down the attacking rebels.

    "My lord, continuing like this is not an option."

    Wang Xiu stood beside Liu Zhe, looking worriedly at the densely packed rebels below.

    This is the second day of the rebels' attack. After receiving the goods on the first day to no avail, they continued to attack on the second day.  There were a large number of rebels. Even if Wang Xiu didn't understand military affairs, he could see that if this continued, the rebels would have the upper hand in the end.  After all, there are many rebels, and they can take turns to attack, but the defenders only have so few people, and they can't beat the rebels no matter how they take turns.

    Wang Xiu became worried when he thought that the defenders would eventually be attacked by the rebels due to lack of physical strength.

    Liu Zhe did not respond to Wang Xiu's question. He touched Liu Qi's head and asked, "Are Qi'er afraid?"

     The first time he saw such a fierce and brutal battle, Liu Qi's face turned pale. After hearing Liu Zhe's question, he shook his head and said, "Qi'er, don't be afraid."

    Although Liu Qi¡¯s voice was a little distorted, his tone was firm.

    "Haha, don't worry."

    Liu Zhe was very satisfied with his son's performance. He touched Liu Qi's head and comforted him: "They can't attack."

    "Really?" Liu Qi's eyes showed surprise and he stared at Liu Zhe closely.

    Although he said he was not afraid, it was the first time he had seen such a scene and he was a child, so it would be a lie to say that he did not have a trace of fear in his heart.  Now that he heard his father say not to worry, he felt calmer and at the same time his admiration for Liu Zhe increased.

    "That's right, just wait."

    Liu Zhe gently stroked his son's head and said, "Just follow your sisters and see how your father can deal with them." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
