Wang Tong accepted the order in a low voice, and the war drums in his legs became more and more exciting. The bandits who were attacking the city were excited to listen to the sound of the war drums, and they rushed forward with howls and screams.
More than a year ago, Qinglong Village was completely wiped out. Cao Gui, Liu An, and Dai Youyu all died in the legs of the imperial army. Only Wang Tong of Zhou and Sui Dynasties escaped.
At the beginning, seventy or eighty bandits gathered around Zhou Sui. Later, when the imperial army withdrew, bandits hiding in the mountains gradually came over. There used to be more than three hundred bandits.
Zhou Sui led more than 300 people to join another group of thieves in Pingyuan County. That group of thieves had many more legs than those in Qinglong Village, but their ferocity was not as ferocious.
The leader of the giant bandits was very proud to see Zhou Sui, who was famous in the past, defecting to him. He made Zhou Sui the sixth master of the family. He deliberately humiliated Zhou Sui in front of all the bandits, and Zhou Sui tolerated them one by one.
After forbearing for more than half a year, Zhou Sui took advantage of the bandits gathering to drink and have fun, and killed the bandit leader with one knife. The second, third, fourth, and fifth boss were all chopped off by him with a long knife.
When the bandits woke up drunk, they found that the sixth master had become the first master. To be a bandit, you must obey the evil people. After Zhou Sui took the position of the first master, he secretly robbed several wealthy businessmen, and all the bandits divided the money and were completely convinced.
oral.
The two armies of the imperial court were suppressing bandits in Bingzhou in Jizhou and did not care about Qingzhou at all. The bandits in the east of Zhou Sui grew rapidly. After more than 10,000 people, Zhou Sui could no longer hold back and led the bandits into the governor's office of Pingyuan County.
, Xianlu recorded Pingyuan County. Then he came to Beihai County to take revenge.
The imperial guards returned to the capital, and Xu Jing also left. But the King of Beihai could not go anywhere. So he occupied Beihai County and massacred the Beihai King's palace, which was half of his revenge.
The bandits of Zhou Sui promised to massacre the city for three days after attacking Beihai County. The bandits were full of enthusiasm and followed Zhou Sui to attack Beihai County.
Wang Tong was familiar with the garrison strength of Beihai County, and he was also familiar with their fighting methods. He originally thought that the city gate could be captured in a few months at most.
I never expected that after a month, it would be impossible to attack the east gate.
The garrison suffered heavy casualties, but they did not break up and flee. An elite soldier came from nowhere to replace the garrison and withstood the crazy attack of the bandits.
Now even reinforcements from the Jiaodong Army are coming soon. The piece of fat meat in Beihai County that is about to arrive will have to be given up if it doesn't get it.
Zhou Sui stared at the city gate with cold eyes.
The party attacking the city suffered more casualties. The bandits attacked the city to no avail, leaving dozens of corpses in the east, and retreated in fear. The fastest one was chopped off by Zhou Sui, and his head flew into the sky with blood.
Sprinkled all over the floor.
"You are allowed to enter, and you are not allowed to retreat!" Zhou Sui shouted angrily.
The bandits were so frightened by Zhou Sui that they bravely attacked again.
That day, the bandits suffered heavy casualties, and the number of casualties was more than five times that of the previous month.
There are many more corpses being carried on the city wall than in previous months. There are many injured soldiers and they are no longer allowed to carry swords on the city wall.
Since the man's legs were not enough, General Zheng gritted his teeth and selected a thousand strong men from the four thousand men who patrolled the city.
Those who were twenty years old or forty years old had brothers in their families first. Soon, a thousand people were selected. General Zheng personally sent the spears and knives from among the generals into their legs.
The men who were ordinary people more than half a month ago couldn't help but shake their legs when they held their spears and knives.
General Zheng shouted loudly: "The bandits are outside the city. Once the city gate is breached, they will rush into Beihai County. Their relatives, wives, children, old and young, will become meat in the mouths of hungry wolves and be bullied by others."
"
"If you are not a man, just the young and old in your family will risk their lives!"
I don't know who was the first to raise his sword and shout. Soon, there were a lot of people responding. The thousand men raised their arms and shouted together. Finally, they gained some morale.
At least, when you are at the city wall, you won't be so scared that you throw away your sword and gun and run away.
…
That night, the bandits continued to attack and disturb the people at night.
The battle on the second day was even more intense. Those who had never experienced the battlefield were frightened out of their wits by the corpses on the ground. Li Xiao stood on the city wall to supervise the battle, firing arrows to kill the bandits while loudly boosting morale.
Suddenly, a strange noise sounded behind him.
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw a group of women and children standing in the open space behind the city gate. Zheng Xuanqing stood at the front. I don't know what he shouted, but the women all followed him and shouted: "Fight to the death!"
The soldiers guarding the city wall were refreshed, and the ordinary people who were used as cannon fodder had their noses sore and their eyes red when they heard the voice.
Among that group of women were their mothers, wives, and daughters. Without them, they would have to fight tooth and nail!
Li Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and muttered: "Nonsense!"
I have to say, that move was very effective. The already declining morale was greatly boosted, and the bandits who were madly attacking were once again repelled.
The voice of a young girl shouting loudly surpassed the other women and reached Li Xiao's ears: "Li Xiao, kill Wang Tong!"
Li Xiao was startled and glanced around eagerly, finally finding Wang Wei's figure.
Wang Wei, who is not very tall, stood on tiptoes among a group of women and children and waved her legs at him.
Li Xiao's blood surged instantly, and he responded loudly. Then he turned around, drew his bow and shot an arrow. He shot more than a dozen arrows in a row without feeling tired.
Zheng Xuanqing saw it and grinned.
An hour later, when the wounded soldiers were being carried to the east city wall, Li Xiao also followed Dong Lai. Zheng Xuanqing came over and showed off his merits without asking for shame: "How was it? His move was very effective."
?”
Li Xiao smiled and scolded him: "Think of all those crooked ideas."
"As long as a crooked idea works." Zheng Xuanqing couldn't help but sigh and whispered: "Those few months were particularly difficult. There are really not enough legs to defend the city. Otherwise, we can't let the people die red on the city wall."
Li Xiao hummed and his eyes drifted to the other side.
Zheng Xuanqing rolled his eyes and kicked Li Xiao: "Go, go! You bastard who values sex over friends!"
Li Xiao grinned and walked quickly to Wang Wei. Wang Wei stood there for almost half a month, shouting until her voice became hoarse. Her face was covered with sweat or tears, and a strand of hair stuck to her cheek.
Li Xiao roughly wiped Wang Wei's face and brushed the strand of hair behind her ears.
Wang Wei's cheeks were red, her eyes were extraordinarily bright, and her voice was hoarse: "When he comes out tomorrow, I was a little scared. Everyone liked him and didn't want to pay attention to him. When he shouted to kill Wang Tong, they all said he
Isn’t that good?”
Li Xiao felt a little sour in his heart and whispered hoarsely: "I'm not a good girl to begin with."
Then, in front of everyone, he hugged her tightly.
On a normal moon, such shameless behavior would definitely attract everyone's attention. On a bright moon, everyone would see it, but no one would say anything.
I don’t know if I can live to see the bright moon. It’s a matter of life and death, and the love is strong, so do whatever you want!
