When hundreds of soldiers from Qingmu Camp set up the huge stone throwing cart, the thick incense in the incense burner, a hundred meters away from Yuncheng City Gate, just burned out. When the incense ash fell down to the side, the soldiers guarding the incense burner turned around and walked back without stopping for an extra second. The stone throwing cart immediately showed its power, and for an extra second it didn't give the people who were still watching on the city wall.
During this period, stone-throwing chariots were not widely used in the Sui Dynasty. Instead, the Persians in the West studied this weapon to the extreme, and people called it Huihuan.
Wu Shengzhi had never seen a strange-shaped thing more than a mile outside the city, so naturally he didn't know what it was for. When he saw hundreds of thieves carrying huge wooden arms assembled, he thought they were going to build a high platform. He even turned around and sarcastically said to everyone behind him, "Your Majesty conquered Goguryeo and built a high platform to watch the battle under the Liaodong city. Isn't this thief actually learned to do it, so he was not afraid of being punished by God?"
It was only when his words were finished, the coarse incense burned out, and God's punishment came.
Hundreds of kilograms of huge rocks roared, flying from a distance, gradually magnifying the eyes of everyone on the city wall. When the huge rock approached the city gate tower, everyone finally realized that they didn't know who shouted to run away first, so the wealthy families and officials and soldiers on the city wall flocked to escape. Unfortunately, it was much too late to escape at this time. The huge rock fell heavily on a corner of the city gate tower with unstoppable power, and half of the city gate tower collapsed. In an instant, several people were directly smashed into meat mud, and countless people were buried under the collapsed house.
Even though Wu Shengzhi had already escaped to one side for a few steps, he was still hit on the back by a splashed brick. He threw his body forward and fell to the ground. He was unprepared for this time, so he fell very strongly and kindly, so that his face hit the ground hard, and his front teeth were broken by the hard bricks.
As half of the city gate tower collapsed, a huge smoke and dust rose up and quickly covered the front of the city. People could not see the scene around them in the dust. A coward rushed forward but turned around and fell directly from the city wall. Although the wall of Yuncheng was not very tall, it was more than two meters. The person who fell from the above had only time to subconsciously shouted the word "Ah" in the air, and then slapped heavily on the ground under the city. After twitching for a few times, he stopped moving and saw that he was not alive.
Zhang Sanheng was lucky, because he stood back, so he ran much smoother. The sixty-year-old man took out a speed that was ten times faster than conquering a young girl, and ran away with the hem of his official uniform. Although he was not hit by bricks and stones, he was also flooded by the surging dust. When the dust was gone, he could tell which one was which one? They got up from the ground with dirt, and their bright and beautiful clothes were all in a layer of earth.
This made everyone's three souls and seven spirits on the city wall break out of their bodies. While breathing heavily, they didn't know how many souls and spirits returned to their positions. Their souls and spirits were still floating in the air without telling the east, west, south and north. Perhaps someone's souls met the souls of others in the air, and the two would shake hands in the air fortunately saying it was so dangerous.
This kind of power cannot be resisted by human forces at all. The county soldiers who were originally standing on the city wall shouted and ran away with their heads in their arms. Even the people who were very far away from the city gate tower were so scared that they threw away the bows and arrows in their hands and fled back. Who cares about the life and death of the county magistrate?
Wu Shengzhi was confused by the broken brick. He finally stood up staggeringly but was frightened by the scene in front of him. Half of the city gate tower collapsed, and the injured county soldiers fell among the broken bricks and tiles. The sound of howling was as shrill as the night ghost cried. The big stone pressed on the side of the city gate tower, and two human legs were exposed below, but they were no longer moving.
When he looked for Zhang Sanheng and others, he saw that those people had already run dozens of meters away and were standing and breathing heavily. The personal soldiers around him were all gone without knowing where they had escaped. However, Wu Shengzhi did not think about his subordinates' resignation and lamented, and finally understood why the thieves were so active and calm. He only asked for a question and said nothing, and then he set up an incense burner and waited for the crude incense to burn.
If the thief has such a means, why worry about not being able to break the gate of Yuncheng?
It turned out that the group of thieves had planned to have such a shocking threat. Unfortunately, it was a pity that I was sad that I even looked at them with interest without realizing it. After thinking about this many things, Wu Shengzhi felt a pain in his face. It was not that he was embarrassed, but that he was indeed falling too hard. He raised his hand and touched the pain on his face, but was surprised to find that there was blood in his hand.
After settled down, someone finally remembered that the county magistrate was still unknown, so someone began to shout: "Where is the Lord of the Mansion? Save Lord of the Mansion!"
Hearing the shout, Wu Shengzhi opened his mouth and cursed angrily: "I'm standing here. Can you guys who don't have eyes see me?"
After shouting out, Wu Shengzhi not only felt something was wrong with his mouth. He reached out and touched it and found that his front teeth were nowhere to go.
No wonder everyone couldn't see him. At this time, the people on the city wall were covered in dust, and each of them was covered in thick layers of dust. Who could tell who was who? Hearing Wu Shengzhi scolded, a few of them hurriedly ran over to support him. Wu Shengzhi angrily shook the hands of those people, but suddenly his legs fell to the ground.
"Thieves...how did the thief have such a powerful weapon?"
At this time, his face gradually became calmer, but his face became increasingly ugly. When he recalled the moment when the huge rock fell, his fear was even stronger than when he watched the huge rock fall.
Just at this moment, a team of cavalry was divided into the men from Yanyun Village, Juyeze outside the city. The leader was the one who called out to the person before. The cavalry flew to the place not far outside the city gate and stopped. The man shouted again at the top of his voice: "My general asked, are Lord Wu ready?"
...
...
Pei Shisheng and four or five wealthy families in the city walked out of the city gate tremblingly under the protection of more than a hundred county soldiers. Although there were protections around them, none of them felt at ease. Looking at the county soldiers, they were so weak that they almost needed to support each other to walk forward. If they really fought, I was afraid that these 100 people were not enough for the Yanyun Village people to get between their teeth.
Pei Shisheng was a person who had seen the world. He took a deep breath several times while walking, forcing himself to calm down. At the same time, he sorted out his words and thought about how to speak when he saw the master of Yanyun Village. But he was not far from the city gate and was disturbed by an irritable voice behind him. When he looked back, he found that the people in the city had actually closed the city gate. Even with his cunning rest, he couldn't help but curse the dog-mother-raising it, but he didn't know whether he was scolding Zhang Sanheng who ordered the closing of the city or the whole city was raised by dog-mother-raising it. If it were all in the city, he didn't know how many dog fathers he had offended.
Seeing that the city gate was closed, even the more than a hundred county soldiers couldn't help but start cursing.
Zhang Sanheng stood in the broken city gate tower, looking at the backs of Pei Shisheng and others with compassion.
"You guys are all the way. I will definitely give you a stick of incense and sprinkle a pot of good wine for you today."
He thought in his heart.
The crowd was only more than a hundred steps away from the bandits' army. Suddenly, as soon as the bandits' army was opened, hundreds of heavily armored infantry came over with neat and heavy steps. Everyone was so scared that they dared not leave anymore. They stopped tremblingly and looked at the heavy armored infantry approaching. Especially the more than a hundred county soldiers, some subconsciously touched the horizontal swords by their waists, some retreated in panic, and some simply squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms.
Hundreds of heavily armored infantry stopped in front of the crowd and separated from each other, neatly and solemnly. The head captain stepped out, and his cold eyes swept across the crowd and then ordered loudly: "The person comes to remove the weapons! Those who talk to my generals will follow me, and those who are idle are waiting here!"
The sound of the tiger shout was as loud as a thunder. The county soldiers unconsciously untied the horizontal sword on their waists and threw it on the ground, then ran back two or three hundred meters before stopping to look here. At this time, they would not care whether the weapons were scared by the thief and removed from the court. As for whether they were embarrassed or not, it would be even less important.
Pei Shisheng and others followed the captain into the military formation of Yanyun Village in fear, and saw a few people sitting in front of drinking and laughing. The people were chatting and laughing, and they didn't even look at this side.
Pei Shisheng looked carefully at the main seat and saw a handsome young man who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, sitting there in a blue shirt. The closer he was, the more shocked Pei Shisheng was. He thought that the boss of Yanyun Village was too young. Although it was rumored that this person was so old, Pei Shisheng never believed that the leader of tens of thousands of thieves would be a young man who was not as young as the one.
The young man looked pretty and had a calm expression. He was whispering to others and was laughing at something. He sat there casually, but there was an indescribable power that made people unable to calm down.
Pei Shisheng and others walked closer. Li Xian turned his head slightly and looked at them, then smiled at Tie Liaolang and others, "If you eat enough wine and meat, go back to the camps, and you may want to attack the city in a while."
Tieliang and wolf Luo Fu and the other two stood up to salute, then turned toward their own camp.
"Pei Shisheng, Yuncheng, has met the general!"
Pei Shisheng saw that the young generals were all brave and fierce, but he was extremely respectful to the young man and was even more shocked. He stood a few meters away in front of Li Xian and bent down to salute.
Li Xian's eyes swept across Pei Shisheng's face lightly, as if he sighed softly.
He stood up and pointed at Pei Shisheng and others and said, "Find a few squires to sit on."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Pei Shisheng was stunned and looked back at the people behind him. They were all confused, and looked confused.
Soon, several personal soldiers brought a stool to ask Pei Shisheng and others to give in. Pei Shisheng and others hurriedly pushed him. The personal soldiers stood up and shouted loudly: "General, let you sit down!"
"sit!"
The surrounding sperm shouted at the same time, scaring Pei Shisheng and others to sit on the stool. They just sat down and felt something was wrong. This stool could not be considered a stool. It was too short. When she sat there, her knees were almost pressing against her chest, which was really awkward.
At this moment, a man in iron armor walked up to everyone with a smile, first glanced at everyone and then burst into laughter. Everyone saw that this man was about fifty years old, with a vulgar face and thin body. The armor was a little loose when he wore it, but the man laughed loudly and looked extremely gloomy and terrifying, like an owl crying at night.
The man stood not far in front of everyone, and a personal soldier brought a very high chair and placed it behind him. He sat on his butt, then looked down at Pei Shisheng and others and sneered: "You county magistrate Wu Shengzhi became a turtle himself, but you guys came out and showed shame!"
Pei Shisheng and others sat on the bench and looked up at the thin man. Suddenly, they found that the man was sitting so high and that he was sitting so short, as if they were all children who went to school in a regular manner, and that man was a teacher with a disgusting appearance.
"What do you call this hero?"
Pei Shisheng asked with courage.
The man laughed and said, "Wu Shengzhi dared not come out of the city to see my general. Is my general interested in talking to you little people? The general has already handed this matter over to me. Your life and death, and even the life and death of everyone in Yuncheng, are in my hands! I can tell you that I am Wang Qinian, the first powerful general under the general, known as the cold-faced evil star!"
