Brother Chun's words could not arouse the resistance of the people, but instead caused greater panic. He saw those people roaring, shouting and begging, and rushing towards him like crazy. Brother Chun gave a wry smile and ducked away.
Retreat, revealing the demon-like red eagle...
Chen Shuchao smiled coldly at Brother Chun who was already involved in the chaos. The people in Lanzhou City have been in a state of anarchy for many years. He wanted to force the people to use wooden forks and hoes to deal with the heavily armed Hai Hu'er.
This plan was a mistake from the beginning.
There is a huge difference between the common people and soldiers. Chen Shu, who was born in a regular soldier, has a deep understanding of this. After becoming a team leader, he was trained to organize the common people. If he wanted to organize the common people, he must first set up a loose organization.
Non-governmental organizations, no matter what the name of this non-governmental organization is, as long as it can have a certain degree of prestige or power in the hearts of the people. Only in this way can the scattered people be organized to fight. Otherwise, even if they can barely rely on repression
If the common people are allowed to fight, how can such an army get the combat effectiveness?
There are regiment training all over the Song Dynasty. This organization is actually a paramilitary organization. It takes a certain amount of time to train every year before it can barely form an army. However, even in the Song Dynasty, their combat effectiveness is pitifully low.
The Jingxi Army never uses regiment training. Even if it dedicates some of its own people to transport grain and fodder and dig tunnels, it will never use regiment training and civilian training, because the biggest effect of these people when they are with the army is to demoralize the army.
He calmly fired a crossbow arrow, and the crossbow arrow entered the eye socket of a terrible man. A bloody arrow cluster penetrated the back of his head, and his body rolled down the slope under the city wall.
Hai Hu'er is indeed worthy of his reputation. After one person fell to the ground, the rest quickly formed a shield formation. The hardwood more than an inch thick was cut into a round shape and covered with rawhide. It was very difficult for the crossbow arrows to break through such a shield.
difficulty.
Seeing that Hai Hu'er was approaching, Chen Shu put away the empty crossbow, picked up the knife stuck on the ground, and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.
Zhang Ting, who was guarding the opposite side of the gap, was gently shaking a huge flail in his hand. When the three hackers rushed into the gap with wooden shields to protect their bodies, the heavy flail had gathered enough strength and roared.
It hit the wooden shield, sawdust flew away, and the shield-wielding Haihuer screamed and retreated. A spear came out from the wood chips in the sky, and without hesitation got into the belly of Haihuer, who was no longer protected by the wooden shield.
, the warrior of the Jingxi Army who launched the attack did not stop. The spear had just penetrated into the armor, and he still needed to take a step forward if he wanted to kill the enemy. He did not care about the swords and maces attacking from both sides, and did not retreat but advanced.
He thrust the spear into Haihu'er's body with all his strength. He didn't stop until the spear came out from Haihu'er's back.
The swords and maces on the left and right sides were naturally taken by Chen Shu and Zhang Ting. The long sword and the sword were separated at the touch. Chen Shu's long sword was made of hundreds of refined steel, and the two swords were used to kill each other.
The man's horse-cutting sword cut into two pieces with a clear sound. Chen Shu roared and used his body to push the long sword, which had lost its strength, and crashed into the Hu man's arms. His body violently rotated to the left, and the long sword followed.
The rotation of the body cut into the Hu man's chest and abdomen, and there was a sound of cracking the silk. The Hu man retreated continuously, and a large amount of blood spurted out with every step he took.
The barbarian holding the mace was the strongest. After Zhang Ting's flail and mace touched several times, Zhang Ting's body began to shake as if he was drunk. This man's strength was truly amazing.
Seeing that Zhang Ting was in danger, Song Jun's spearman didn't have time to turn his spear. With a strong effort with both hands, the handle of the spear struck at the back of the Hu man's head. The mace whirled in mid-air and turned around, hitting the handle of the spear.
He actually took the gun and smashed Song Jun to the side.
Zhang Ting stood still, his blood boiling in his chest and abdomen. This was his first confrontation with a barbarian with hairy hair. He didn't expect this guy to be so strong. He saw Zhao Ping's spear being knocked down by a blow.
The flail was flailed to the sky. He quickly took a step forward, and the flail fell on his head with a sound of wind.
The barbarian screamed strangely, turned sideways to avoid the flail, raised his knees and pressed them heavily on Zhang Ting's lower abdomen. Zhang Ting screamed and fell softly to the ground.
The Hu man took a step forward and raised his foot, ready to step on Zhang Ting's neck and end Zhang Ting's life completely. However, his thick body was shaken, and his big mouth opened to reveal a mouth full of rotten teeth, and a blade was exposed from his mouth.
came out.
The blade disappeared in a flash, and Chen Shu stepped out from behind the Hu man. He glanced at Zhang Ting and hurriedly loaded the crossbow with arrows. The Hu man's reinforcements had arrived.
Dense arrows fell on the top of the city, which screamed in agony. Chen Shu ignored the human bodies that kept falling from the top of the city. The crossbow in his hand kept firing outwards, and two gunpowder bombs were already hung at convenient positions.
Zhang Ting struggled to get up from the ground, his face was pale, and there were two lines of blood hanging from the corners of his mouth. The Hu Ren's knee just hit him, causing him internal injuries.
The wall in front of Lanzhou City was not wide, only about a thousand paces. Chen Shu's men were scattered on the wall and fought with scattered barbarians.
The pressure at the top of the city has come to an end. Due to the blocking attack by the Jingxi Army, not a single barbarian can attack the city wall. Red Eagle's eyes have turned blood red.
Everyone lowered their voices in fear, talking in low voices, and the low roars merged into a strange noise. The timid ones were already scared to tears, and many people were even so scared that their legs went weak, and they stopped running after not far away.
courage and strength.
The only remaining government officials in Lanzhou City were not much better. The figures were coming and going. Suddenly, the sound of knives chopping human flesh sounded again in front of them. Countless sharp arrows flew down from the sky, and the screams were like the call of death.
Then there was the sound of sharp arrows piercing flesh, and the people on the city wall became crazy again.
Chen Shu avoided the crowds of people running around and went up to the dilapidated watchtower alone to look at the chaotic atmosphere from above.
In order to aggravate the chaos in the city, the barbarians had already used rockets. The entire watchtower was surrounded by heavy smoke. After pushing open the broken windows, the wind poured in from all directions, roaring and swirling in the corridors and rooms.
Several places were already on fire and burning blazingly.
Smelling the oil vapor in the smoke, Chen Shu took a deep breath. The smell was too familiar. After not fighting for several years, the feeling of the battlefield seemed to have disappeared. Fortunately, today he regained that bloodline.
A feeling of nervousness.
The first wave of battle ended with the complete victory of the Jingxi Army. The corpses of more than 30 men were thrown off the city wall, and dozens of ownerless horses were wandering under the Lanzhou City.
The whistling sound of long arrows came to him from a distance in a moment. Chen Shu tilted his head slightly, and an arrow as thick as his thumb whizzed past his neck and was firmly nailed to the wooden wall panel.
Intrigued, Chen Shu took out a horn and blew it, causing the commotion in the city to calm down a little.
Chen Shu withdrew his horn and stood on the enemy tower and shouted loudly: "Since you don't want to fight, then leave. After we die in the battle, whether you can survive depends on whether Huer is willing to show mercy. I think
If you stay here to protect your wife, children, and the young, if you plan to give your wife to the barbarians, get out!"
Brother Chun glared at Chen Shu fiercely, and wanted to say something to stop these people from leaving, but when he saw Chen Shu's crossbow arrow aimed at him, he had to swallow his words.
As soon as Hong Ying and others got out of the way, a group of people looked at them warily and prepared to sneak away from them quietly.
Chen Shu laughed loudly and said: "There are not many barbarians in the city, only five hundred. No, there are only more than four hundred left now. We have more than ten thousand. If everyone is lucky enough to survive, after the war,
The camel city outside the city is available to you for your use, I won’t take any money from you!”
More people slipped away from Hong Ying, and the sarcastic smile on Brother Chun's face became stronger and stronger. These Qiu Ba were still stubborn, thinking that they could get these people to serve on the battlefield with such empty promises?
A female voice suddenly appeared on the city wall: "Defend the city for one day, and get one tael of silver!"
The moving crowd suddenly stopped, and Brother Chun squeezed out of the crowd angrily, only to see his wife standing pretty behind the city wall. At her feet was a large bag of broken silver that had been scattered, white and white.
Human ears and eyes.
"Young lady, do you mean what you say?" a swarthy man in tattered clothes suddenly asked.
Xiaoman took out a silver ingot weighing one or two from the silver pile, threw it to the man and said, "You can take it first!"
The man caught the ingot of silver, put it in his mouth and bit it, then carefully picked up the silver, picked up his hoe and started to climb up the city wall.
Xiaoman smiled and said: "Brother, we can't ignore our lives when we make money. If we want to make money with our lives, we have to listen to the military master above the enemy building. In addition, if there is a knife here, you can also take one. No matter how you compare,
A hoe is better."
Hearing this, the man grinned and said: "I am a gambler. I even lost my wife recently. I will die sooner or later. It is better to die with money in my pocket, so that I can have money to play in the underworld."
Xiao Man pretty stood there without saying a word, just waiting for the other people with gleaming eyes to come forward to collect the money. In this world, life is not very valuable, and it is fair to sacrifice one's life for money for a day.
This city of Lanzhou is full of hard-working swordsmen and bodyguards. They work with their heads tied to their belts and may not be able to earn even one tael of silver a day.
Brother Chun saw people going to Xiaoman's place to get their money one after another. He remembered that the money was given to Xiaoman just last night. It was used to escape with the whole family. This prodigal woman actually had no money.
All the rest have been moved here.
Chen Shu grinned, this woman was really interesting, and she somewhat symbolized the wealth and power of the Western Beijing Army.
Buying a life with money is far better than forcing someone to sacrifice their life. The commander has used this method countless times. (To be continued)
