Chapter 322 The Era of Martial Madman

PreviousBack to directoryNext
On the eighth day, at the beginning of Mao hour, everyone was asleep.

Wang Zhenjiang was sleeping soundly with his beautiful concubine in his arms. He planned to send his eldest son outside the city tomorrow to meet Zhang Sikong, the governor of Hexi Province.

If he was not a tyrannical person, he would not listen to General Sun Shi and start negotiating terms directly.

As long as Zhang Sikong was willing to increase the amount of goods allocated to him to 50%, General Wang Zhen decided to tie up General Sun Shi and others and join the Guiyi Army.

Sun Shijiang also fell asleep, but he fell asleep after drinking a meal.

General Sun knew very well what He Chuan was like. Not to mention that there were dozens of people in his Sun family, even his most valiant disciple Sun Xiaoguo served under He Chuan. This man had a vengeful temperament, which made General Sun very afraid.

Although there are about 10,000 Guiyi troops from Hexi, there are also 10,000 in Hechuan.

No! There may not be more than that now. After joining the thousands of tooth soldiers from Xingning Jiedushi Jingnan's army, the number may be even greater.

In his heart, the Hexi Army would definitely not be able to defeat He Chuan and others. If these belongings were lost, when He Chuan came back, they would not be spared those who stayed behind.

But there was no news about the dispatched cavalry for so many days, so what could he do?

Wu Guoer woke up from a nightmare. He dreamed of Murong Nobunaga.

In the dream, Zhang Sikong's big boy was riding a white Pegasus, playing and beating him back and forth, while he was riding a short donkey, and they couldn't hide away no matter what.

Wu Guoer woke up from the nightmare and sat beside the bed. He was lost in thought for a moment. He thought of the black clouds and snow horse that Zhang Sikong promised to reward him when he accomplished the task.

That was a really good horse! It had shiny coat, well-developed muscles, strong waist and hips, and lively eyes. Wu Guoer was deeply fascinated as soon as he saw it.

I wonder if Zhang Sikong will keep his promise after the ten-day deadline?

....

Outside the west gate, Cao Shishi's Huolei Yamen and the people from Fenjindu swam across the moat first, and then began to dig a pit at the west gate to bury Huolei.

At the same time, the warriors of the commando team here are also ready. They have ladders and planks in their hands to put on the moat and cross the river.

Even though the people at Huolei Yamen and Fenjindu were very careful, some rustling sounds inevitably came out in this silent night sky.

And what's a bit ominous is that the moonlight is a bit too good today. It's already early in the morning, and the moon is still a little bright.

On the west wall of the city, these sounds alerted one person, that is Li Huochang.

This fire chief in his thirties is considered to have been in battle for a long time. At the age of fourteen, he picked up a knife and a gun to kill with his uncle, and has been killing for more than twenty years. Although he is not very brave, he has rich experience.

When he sleeps, he puts his ear against the city wall. If there is any small movement, he can usually hear it.

For example, now, he realized something was wrong.

After getting up quickly, Li Huozhang dimly saw many people in black digging under the west city gate under the pale moonlight.

There is a situation!

Li Huochang was about to shout and ring the warning bell, but he suddenly felt like there was someone beside him. When he turned around in horror, Li Huochang saw the silly young man standing next to him.

Under the moonlight, the usually silly idiot was looking at him with a look that Li Huochang had never seen before, a bit cruel and a bit indifferent.

The silly young man's right hand was inserted into the hem of his robe but was not taken out. His body was standing upright. It seemed that his right hand must be holding the handle of the knife in his robe.

Li Huochang swallowed hard. In his nervousness, the saliva made him feel a little rough, and his throat hurt.

He also suddenly discovered that Silly Young Man was very strong. If there was a fight, he would most likely be stabbed to death by Silly Young Man before the soldiers woke up.

He also understood why Silly Young Man often went down to the city to eat and drink at Hexi Bing's place in the past two days, and why he sometimes came back with wine and meat?

Because he has defected to the Hexi Army!

After weighing the comparison of the combat prowess between the two sides, and thinking about the fact that his mother-in-law had died of illness a long time ago and that he had not left him a man and a half women, Li Huochang slowly squatted down.

He looked at the silly young man's right hand, then slowly lay down on the ground, then closed his eyes, and even snored slightly.

....

"Boom!" A earth-shattering explosion sounded. Six fire thunders were detonated together, dazzling sparks rose up, and the entire west gate of Weizhou City seemed to shake.

The air wave knocked down all the people who had no time to run away and fell into the moat.

The Weizhou Army on duty in the west of the city was almost frightened crazy by the loud noise. Countless people got up from the ground and started running around and shouting.

A huge gap was blown out of the thick city gate. Before the explosion, most of the residents in the city were frightened awake, and the whining sounds of domestic dogs could be heard all over the city.

Most people in the Guiyi Army did not even frown, because the amount of medicine administered this time was only 30% of that in Shule. In the eyes of many people, this was nothing more than pediatrics.

"Build a bridge! Cross the river!" Zhang Zhao shouted and was the first to raise the long ladder in his hand to the moat.

With a splash of water, hundreds of soldiers jumped into the river like dumplings. They used their flesh and blood to stabilize this simple wooden bridge.

The wild bear was the first to rush to the city gate. He took his huge battle ax and hacked open a larger hole in the already dilapidated city gate in three or two strokes.

"Li Ruotai takes a hundred people to the arsenal!

Shanzhu'er and Lu Sanlang took a hundred people to the state government office!

Hu Guang led fifty people to control the city gate and let the army enter the city!

The rest of the people follow me and rush straight to the military camp!" Zhang Zhao picked up the horizontal sword and started running wildly.

The city of Weizhou is not big, but running around in armor is not an easy task. Now it is a matter of time, and he wants to defeat the Weizhou army before they gather together.

With the sound of explosions, the Guiyi Army soldiers outside the city who were not selected to attack with Zhang Zhao began to quickly fill in the trenches. The suspension bridge blocking the front of the city gate also needed to be destroyed quickly to facilitate the army's entry into the city.

Zhang Zhao, who was running wildly, encountered the Wengcheng as the first level. It would be funny if he blew up the west gate but was imprisoned in the Wengcheng.

Fortunately, people at this time were not used to such violent explosions. A team of fifty soldiers guarding Wengcheng were frightened by the explosions and roared wildly.

Only Team Zheng, with a few close associates, thought that there was a possibility that the rebel forces outside the city were attacking the city.

The shouting team leader, along with a few confidants, wanted to be the first to lower the gate of Wengcheng.

But Dunzhu was faster than them. This Tubo man, whose arms could rival Liu Bei's, howled and threw four spears like a whirlwind.

Duizheng and two of his cronies were crucified on the way to Guanweng City Gate almost at the same time.

....

General Sun lives directly in the military camp, because the recent situation is quite critical, and he cannot trust General Wang Zhen.

Because when He Chuan, the Yaqian military envoy, was still there, Wang Zhenjiang was actually suppressed by a group of them.

To put it mildly, he is a man of great prestige; at worst, he is a veteran soldier.

He Chuan and others plundered goods from Pizhou, Ningzhou, Yizhou and other places, and brought back at least 50,000 guan.

With such a huge fortune, General Sun must take good care of him, so he simply took the remaining tooth soldiers and lived directly in the military camp.

The explosion at Ximen was very loud, but the military camp was still some distance away. General Sun heard the huge explosion, and he subconsciously thought it was just thunder. Besides, he drank a lot of wine before going to bed and had no brain.

So awake.

It wasn't until the tooth soldier who lived in the front yard ran in frantically and started pushing his leader, the Tenth General, that he realized something was wrong.

Outside the military camp, the Zhenjun military camp set up in Weizhou City is relatively complete. There are horses in front of the camp. There are watchtowers around it, and there are archers on duty on the watchtower.

However, it was still Mao hour, and the archers above were not very vigilant because they were in the city, so they did not get up to watch.

After hearing the huge explosion, the archers on each watchtower rubbed their groggy eyes and began to look around.

But it was a bit late, because after only a cup of tea, Zhang Zhao led the warriors of the Guiyi Army and rushed outside the military camp.

Brothers Fanquan and Fanshun held divine arm bows and each led a dozen sharpshooters. Whenever there was a figure shaking on the watchtower, he would shoot an arrow with his hand.

The power of the divine arm bow is much higher than that of ordinary bows and arrows. In addition, Fan Quan, Fan Shun and others have always been known for their good shooting. After a while, all the archers on the watchtower were eliminated.

Under the earthen wall of the military camp, everyone worked together to lift five wooden sticks more than one foot long. The tops of these wooden sticks were nailed to wooden boards with iron nails.

Man Xiong, Dunzhu, and Wang Tongtong squatted on the wooden board, and were lifted up by the crowd as they continued to rise up the earth wall.

Rumbling footsteps came. Although the military camp was in the city, it was in wartime, so General Sun still arranged for two groups of soldiers to patrol.

There were hundreds of soldiers who also slept in leather robes. When they heard the screams of the archers from the watchtower outside the military camp, they quickly got up.

The bear was the first to be lifted onto the city, and the Weizhou soldiers at the city's head arrived just in time.

These Weizhou soldiers were awakened from their sleep, and they were still a little confused. They ran to the top of the city purely based on their training instincts. Before the swords and guns in their hands were warm, they saw a savage bear that looked like a giant bear.

.

The bear took a deep breath and rushed forward, using himself as a weapon and crashing into a group of soldiers on the opposite side.

He was wearing two layers of cotton armor and a chainmail armor. He was not afraid of any swords, guns or clubs. Even hammers and axes could not do anything to him for a while.

When the Weizhou soldiers saw this strange bear rushing over like an overwhelming force, they also shouted collectively and rushed over under the leadership of the captain.

But the bear's tonnage is too big. After wearing dozens of kilograms of armor, its weight is almost two hundred, fifty or sixty kilograms.

This kind of weight rushed over at an extremely fast speed, and it was impossible for them to stop it.

The team was trying to catch the wild bear before it hit them. They stood firm on horseback with their legs apart, and stabbed out with the horizontal knife in their hands like lightning.

"Dang!" The long horizontal knife was broken with a sound, and a layer of skin was rubbed off the hand that was holding the knife.

At the same time, a spear emerged from his left side and a hammer fell from his right side, both heading towards the wild bear.

As a result, the spearman quickly screamed, and the gun barrel was directly knocked out of his hand.

The hammer hit the bear on the shoulder, but unfortunately, a dull sound was heard, and the bear had no reaction, almost as if it missed the hit.

A knife, a gun, and a hammer all failed to do anything to the bear. It was the bear's turn to hit them, but these dozen soldiers couldn't resist the bear's attack at all.

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the team was directly knocked out by the wild bear, and more than a dozen soldiers were pushed and turned upside down.

Some were hit, some were frightened and backed away, and were pushed to the ground. There was even an unlucky guy who accidentally stepped on the air and screamed and fell off the earth wall.

The bear who successfully broke into the crowd held the ax in both hands, approached the enemy and began to chop.

With his tonnage and strength, the ax he swung was extremely lethal. The first ax struck a dent into the ring armor leaves on the captain's body.

Du Zheng screamed, the ax not only cut off the armor leaves of his ring armor, but also cut off his shoulder blades, and then warm blood spilled all over Du Zheng's face. This was the brutal bear's attack.

Kill the soldiers behind him.

Just at this time, another group of soldiers came over from a distance. After seeing that the wild bear had basically cut down these dozen people, the pair of soldiers who came over immediately took out their rifle bows and fired at the wild bear.

The swishing arrows were flying in the air, but after landing on the bear, they basically hung crookedly on the bear's cotton armor. The slight pain caused by the arrows made the bear fierce.

Sexy.

At this time, Dunzhu and Wang Tongtong also dispersed the Weizhou soldiers on the other side. Zhang Zhao, who was under the earth wall, also commanded the people and sent three more people to jump onto the earth wall. Murong Nobunaga was among them.

The old man threw the two iron whips to the ground, took off the hard bow, and shot four arrows in a row, killing three Weizhou soldiers on the spot. In his hand was a strong bow that could kill two people with one stone, and a layer of armor could not hold it.

At this time Dunzhu also threw the last two spears, and these Weizhou soldiers who only dared to shoot arrows from a distance immediately dispersed.

Zhang Zhao was pushed against the wall in the third wave, in this era of arrogant and crazy warriors.

The so-called strategizing and decisive victory thousands of miles away that is admired in the general era, or the situation of sitting on a small four-wheeled vehicle like Zhuge Liang and commanding the army by waving the flag, simply does not work in this era.

In the era of martial arts madmen, only martial arts madmen who are crazier than themselves will be respected.

Zhang Zhao even thought about the possibility that if a Confucian general like Yu Yunwen came to this era, he might not get the service of his soldiers, but be chopped down by the Ya soldiers below.

As for the reason, you will understand if you look at the treatment our Zhang Da Sikong received. As the commander-in-chief of an army and a dignified Hexi Jiedushi, with hundreds of thousands of people under his control, his status is not low.

But when he asked the third wave to climb the city wall, what he received was not dissuasion, not even a single person's persuasion, such as saying that he has a body of ten thousand gold, why risk his own life, etc. Instead, he was looked at with extremely admiring eyes.

Hold him.

Then Zhang Zhao was pushed up high by Zhebu Jiashi and Cui Huxin and pushed to the earth wall.

In the view of the martial arts madmen, only the one who can draw a sword and kill people with them, and who can kill people the hardest and craziest, can be their master.

"Grab the door! Go grab the door!" Zhang Zhao, who had just stepped onto the earthen wall, shouted loudly.

After hearing the order, the nine people quickly ran to follow the gate of his military camp. As long as the gate was opened and hundreds of people outside entered the military camp, the matter was settled.

As the most important place in the military camp, General Sun deployed hundreds of troops at the gate of the camp, and there was also a Ten General who led the troops to guard it.

By the time Zhang Chao arrived, the ten generals had already gathered all the soldiers. Dozens of soldiers held up their spears and formed a small square formation.

Behind the phalanx are dozens of archers. At the same time, in the watchtowers above the doors on the left and right sides of the military camp gate, there are also archers drawing their bows and preparing to fire.

However, despite facing such a formation, Zhang Zhao did not hesitate at all.

He shouted and asked Murong Nobunaga and Fanshun, the best archers, to hold hard bows and start shooting at the archers on the upper left and right of the camp gate.

The rest of the people followed him and rushed towards the spear formation on the opposite side.

Since they did not carry long weapons such as rifles during this attack, all they had in their hands were horizontal knives, large axes, and hammers. Therefore, what is most beneficial to Zhang Zhao and others is actually close combat. , rather than fighting in formation.

Although nine people faced hundreds of people, Zhang could see that the opponent did not have much advantage.

Because they arrived so suddenly, although the soldiers at the gate of the camp took out bows, arrows and spears, they were basically not wearing armor.

Armored vs. unarmored, just rush in and kill them, and they'll be finished!

Amidst the shouts, the two men, Xiong Dunzhu, who was thick-skinned, wore three layers of armor, and was tall, were directly used as physical tanks by Zhang Zhao and the others.

The two men were pushed by Zhang Zhao and others and began to run forward. With a bang, the wild bears and Dunzhu crashed into the spear array like wild boars.

Several screams were heard, and it turned out to be Dunzhu crying out in pain. Although he wore three layers of armor, he was still screaming in pain from being stabbed randomly by more than a dozen spears.

However, while shouting, Dundup held two short spears and flew up like a whirlwind. These soldiers without armor would basically lose their combat effectiveness as long as they were hit by him.

After waiting for Dunzhu and Man Xiongzhuang to enter, Zhang Zhao followed them in.

He is not wearing his extremely cool golden armor now because it is too conspicuous, so Zhang Zhao also wears two layers of cotton armor.

Wearing heavy armor and holding a horizontal sword, he rushed in and started slashing at the crowd. There were people on the left and right anyway, so he could hit anyone no matter how he slashed.

And against unarmored targets, a horizontal knife is much easier to use than an ax or hammer.

Because it is light and flexible, and has a long blade, it is good for chopping and stabbing. Its lethality is slightly better than that of a large axe. When used with a hammer, its attack speed is several times faster.

During the bloody strangulation, Zhang Zhao was always at the front. Among the people who were howling and fighting, he keenly spotted the ten generals in charge.

The ten generals were protected by two personal guards, holding rifles and shooting at them continuously.

Zhang Zhao shouted, slanted his shoulders, dragged the horizontal knife, and forced a bloody path through the crowd.

He ran in front of the ten generals, and then struck the ten generals who were about to retreat three times with lightning speed.

Although the incident happened suddenly, the ten generals still wore a piece of leather armor on their bodies. However, Zhang Zhao's horizontal sword was made of steel from later generations. It was extremely sharp, and his sword skills were very precise. Each of the three swords struck They all hit the same place.

Such a swift and precise blow directly cut a huge hole in the leather armor of the ten generals, and blood gushed out crazily along the hole.

Seeing that he was being targeted, several of the ten general's personal guards quickly protected him and retreated to the left. However, when the ten general who calmed people's hearts moved, the infantry, which had no armor in the first place, became even more panicked.

Zhang Zhaoze became more and more successful in beating him. He chased after him and kicked General Ten on the back, knocking him to the ground.

Immediately, the sword was thrust downwards, and the blade penetrated from the back, directly piercing the heart of the ten generals, killing the commanding officer on the spot.

After he had eliminated the ten generals, the two personal guards of the ten generals reacted. They cried and charged in despair at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao moved his right leg forward, squatted down in a horse stance, and slashed across the sword from top to bottom like lightning. The first guard who arrived was directly slashed in the neck, and blood spurted into the sky.

Then, Zhang Zhao twisted his waist and slid the sword sharply to the right. A burst of blood appeared in the abdomen of the second guard who came over, and colorful intestines gushed out along the breach.

At this time, Mao hour has passed and it is already Chen hour. The sun is about to rise, and people's sight is much better.

The soldiers at the camp gate who were hastily summoned saw that the ten generals had been killed, and all of them were like the devil Tai Sui. They could no longer hold on. They howled and dispersed immediately.

Under the command of Zhang Zhao, Man Xiong and others, who were covered in blood, did not chase the fleeing soldiers, but used the giant ax in their hands to split the wooden bolt on the camp door and open the gate.

General Sun finally stopped feeling dizzy, but the scene in front of him made him feel cold. He had no idea how many people had rushed into their military camp.

The tents were set on fire one by one. Military tents at this time were mostly made of linen. The soldiers also wanted to put some personal furs in the tents for warmth.

This thing is the best combustion accelerant, and the fire cannot be extinguished at all.

So after a tent was set alight, the fire quickly began to spread. Frightened by the fire, an unknown number of soldiers came to attack the camp and fled in all directions.

General Sun originally wanted to organize a resistance, but looking around, there were broken troops everywhere, and no one listened to his command at all.

Except for the hundreds of people behind him, no one in the military camp of thousands of people could be mobilized.

And what was very unfortunate was that his attempt to gather the soldiers again, instead of gathering many people, actually attracted the attention of Zhang Zhao and others.

Zhang Zhao had never met General Sun Shi, but she knew that there was such a person in the Weizhou army.

And according to the reports of the soldiers who have secretly taken refuge with him in the past few days, General Wang Zhen, although he has a high official position and is usually very prestigious among the soldiers, the one who is really in power is Sun Du, a small ten general, because he is the government official who caused the rebellion.

Former military envoy He Chuan's associate and confidant.

"Gather!" Zhang Zhao shouted, and the people around him who heard him shouted also shouted.

Following the shouts, hundreds of rebel warriors who could still be heard nearby immediately ran towards Zhang Zhao.

They formed a small square formation at an extremely fast speed, and then took out their rifle bows from behind.

Only then did Sun Shijiang react. He also hurriedly touched the bow on his back. More than a hundred people around him also began to form formation almost at the same time as the Guiyi Army.

These tooth soldiers are worthy of being the martial arts lunatics of this crazy era. They can actually think about not escaping in such chaos, but directly confronting them!

In fact, in ancient battles, the outcome was definitely determined by close combat, but the most powerful kills came from bows and crossbows.

There are more than 100 crossbows in the team, including 300. This side also has dozens of divine arm bows. This is absolutely right. The advantage lies with me.

The two sides exchanged three waves of fire in a furious manner, and General Sun lost more than twenty people. However, such a close distance did not give General Sun a chance to escape or react.

After the two sides fired at each other, they immediately rushed over with weapons brandished. If He Chuan, the military envoy from Yaqian, was here, the hundreds of tooth soldiers from Zhang Yi's army could really come into contact with Zhang Zhao's hundreds of Guiyi's troops.

But Sun, the tenth general, could not do it, because he had the courage of an army. As a tenth general, he had a great desire to make money, but very little courage to kill people. The two sides collided violently.

After only two or three minutes of fighting, General Sun couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to retreat.

However, Zhang Zhao was already fascinated by this hearty battle, the excitement of screaming, and the rapid secretion of adrenaline. Zhang Sikong became more and more courageous as he fought.

He was holding a pumpkin hammer he picked up from somewhere in his hand. Holding the hammer in both hands, he was the first to rush into the Weizhou army. When it came to hammers, he would smash them randomly.

Seeing Zhang Zhao's bravery, the Guiyi Army warriors behind them also howled and rushed up one after another.

Especially Murong Da'er, who held a pair of iron whips and loyal guards beside Zhang Zhao. The iron whip weighing six or seven kilograms danced like a whirlwind, and he quickly killed four or five people.

General Sun wanted to run away, but Zhang Zhao had already set his sights on him. No matter what he did, he just couldn't get away.

After dodging left and right for several rounds, General Sun Shi became more and more panicked, his arms became more and more sore, and it seemed that he could hardly move the horizontal sword in his hand.

Finally! Zhang Zhao roared wildly, and the golden melon hammer he raised high slammed into General Sun's forehead.

Sun Shijiang shook violently as if he had been struck by lightning, and his entire forehead, including his forehead, was dented. He didn't even scream, and fell straight to the ground.

At this time, there were thunderous shouts inside and outside the city, and most of the Guiyi army entered the city under the command of Yan Jin.
