Chapter 17 Battle, Terrible

Nearly hundreds of refugees outside the city have all entered the city, leaving only a few corpses lying outside the city gate.

This is the criminal who was shot dead on the spot just now.

In addition to the previous five, two more were later pointed out by refugees who had been bullied, and were shot without mercy.

This little girl's movie is quite ruthless.

Li Guorui, who stood on the city wall and watched the whole process, rubbed his nose.

Not to mention the skill of archery, killing people without blinking an eye is not something that anyone can achieve.

Many soldiers are not so efficient in killing people. It is easier to kill gold thieves than to kill one's own people...

"How can we call them our own people?" Miss Jun said, "These people are taking advantage of the chaos to bully their compatriots who are weak and have bad conduct. If they fight against the Jin people in the future, they will definitely turn against us and damage our city defense. Such hidden dangers must not be tolerated.

Stay, sometimes kindness is cruelty."

Being taught a lesson by a little girl, Li Guorui smiled bitterly.

Because there are no refugees outside the city for the time being, the city gates are slowly closing, but I believe that refugees from Bazhou will come soon after hearing the news.

"Strengthen the city defense." Li Guorui shouted to those above and below the city. He glanced at Miss Jun and added, "There are refugees coming. Let them in after checking their identities."

The soldiers above and below the city responded in unison, with unprecedented high spirits.

Just now, these reinforcements brought wine and meat, allowing them to eat meat and meat that they had not seen for a long time. They felt that their bodies were full of strength and their spirits were high.

Of course, feasting and feasting is one thing, but the most important thing is that Duke Cheng Guo sent reinforcements.

They don't stand alone.

Such orders were not only spread in Changfeng, but also across the river borders. In addition to strengthening the walls and clearing the country, refugees from the north could not be turned away and ignored.

What happened here quickly spread to Hejian Mansion.

Compared with Changfeng, Hejian City is more than ten miles away, and the city walls are taller and thicker. There is a general magistrate in the town hall, a Hejian garrison, and nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses withdrawn from the front to guard this central town on Hebei West Road.

Even if the Jin soldiers invade, the city will be safe and sound.

What's more, peace is about to be negotiated and the war is about to end.

But at this time, the civil servants and generals in the government were not relaxed, but frowned and looked solemn.

"If we do this, there will be chaos in Hejian." The leader, Mr. Tongpantian, looked sad.

"I don't think it will be chaotic if we accept the fugitives." A general said with a blush, "I knew that if we retreated, those cowards would just close their doors and shrink back. We really don't want to retreat..."

I swallowed my words again after saying this.

However, the emperor's order was difficult.

Duke Chengguo dared to disobey, but they really didn't dare.

"What is this Qingshan Army? Is there such an army under Chengguo Gong's account?" the judge asked.

The generals present shook their heads.

"Could it be a private soldier?" the judge asked in confusion.

The generals shook their heads.

"No." They said in unison without any hesitation, "Gong Chengguo doesn't even have a servant, let alone a private soldier."

Although there are always people in the DPRK who attack and impeach Duke Cheng, there is really no evidence for raising private soldiers.

"That's strange. Could it be a fake?" Tongjian speculated, "After all, the seal is a dead thing."

"It's not surprising. Duke Cheng Guo loves the people and will definitely protect the people. He will definitely not let the people be ravaged by gold thieves." A general said in a deep voice.

It is indeed a shame to cede land and save the people, Tongjian sighed.

"Then just obey their orders and protect the people. It doesn't count as disobeying the holy will." He said.

This was acknowledgment of the actions of the Qingshan Army, and the generals all nodded in agreement.

I was reluctant to withdraw originally.

"My lord, my lord." A soldier from outside the door rushed in hurriedly, holding a document in his hand, "The defenders from Changfeng have entered Bazhou territory."

Bazhou?!

All the civil and military officials present were shocked.

"What are they doing?" Tong Fan blurted out, "Who gave the order for them to cross the border? What are they going to do?"

It is said that the Jin soldiers have entered the Bazhou realm. Are these Changfeng soldiers going to fight the Jin people?

This is contrary to the holy will.

Are you crazy anymore? There are only three thousand of them, right? This is asking for death!

"This seal must be a fake." The judge shouted, with an angry and hesitant look on his face, and finally slammed the table, "Could this Qingshan Army be a Jin spy?"

There was a commotion in the official hall, and everyone's expression changed.

Then the Changfeng Army is finished!

The Changfeng Army is over, and Hejian Mansion is about to open up!

……………………..

In the first month of the first month, the vast land was desolate, and a bright light suddenly appeared in the gray sky.

Someone who was lying in the withered grass in the ravine immediately jumped up and ran back quickly.

After crossing the ravine, we saw a group of officers and soldiers standing solemnly in the wilderness, numbering a thousand in number.

"There are gold thieves ahead." The sentry shouted loudly as he rushed over.

These words caused a commotion among the standing officers and soldiers.

But there was a group of people in the queue who did not move and stood in awe.

Li Guorui felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not like I haven't seen Jin Bing before, and it's not like I haven't fought before." He scolded in a low voice.

In addition, because the queue over there was still tight, the restless soldiers quickly calmed down.

Since he came out, he would definitely encounter this kind of thing. Although he didn't expect to encounter it so quickly, Li Guorui took a deep breath and was about to say prepare for war, but Miss Jun over there had already spoken first.

"How many people?" she asked.

The smoke and bangs can reach as many people as possible, but there was no smoke or banging just now. Li Guorui looked into the sky again, seeing a gray emptiness.

How did they convey the news?

"About 1,500 people," the sentry said.

After these words came out, Li Guorui no longer cared about how they were delivering the news, his expression changed drastically, and the queue that had just calmed down became commotion again.

They have less than 900 people, fighting against more than 1,500 golden soldiers, and have no castle to rely on. This is simply an egg hitting a stone.

"Go quickly, go quickly." Li Guorui shouted.

"Don't leave." Miss Jun also shouted, "Get ready for war."

The girl's voice was not as loud as Li Guorui's, but the next moment two men stood up and waved flags in their hands.

"Arrange your formation!" they shouted.

Li Guorui was no stranger to setting up formations. After he decided to lead his troops to Bazhou, Miss Jun asked the Qingshan Army to give the three thousand Changfeng Army soldiers a simple training several times, mainly to set up formations and understand them.

semaphores, according to their requirements.

"We asked you for help, so you have to listen to us." The two men named Yang Jing and Xia Yong said.

What a shameless statement. There were less than forty of them, including women, and they actually said that Changfeng's three thousand soldiers and horses were here to help them.

Who can help whom?

Although he was dissatisfied, Li Guorui didn't say anything because of Cheng Guogong's seal. In his wild thoughts, the formation was already set up, and the baggage train that was originally at the end of the team was pushed to the front.

Speaking of the baggage vehicles, Li Guorui also complained in his heart. Going into a dangerous place like this certainly requires flexibility, simplicity and fast horses. The Qingshan Army had to bring three vehicles.

This car only carries pots and pans, which can be used to make rice at any time. Li Guorui has already enjoyed the fast and delicious meals made by this car. At the same time, the refugees he met along the way were also attracted by a bowl of hot porridge.

To live on and move forward.

I know that they are here to rescue refugees, but the rescue should not be done at the expense of small things, and they should not slow down their progress with a car in Bazhou.

It seems that today is the time to explain here. Li Guorui's expression is a little dull, he is afraid but not afraid, so he feels at ease even if he dies.

There was smoke and dust billowing in the sight, and at the same time there were strange cries of horse hooves trampling the ground, and at the same time there were the cries of the people.

Getting closer and closer, you can clearly see a group of people running wildly in the wilderness through the ravine, and behind them is a dense mass of golden soldiers.

A dozen golden soldiers ran out from the march, whipped the common people with their whips, and made strange laughter.

Of course it's not that they can't kill these people, they're just having fun.

Although the people were desperate, they had no other choice but to run forward.

Most of these people were old, weak, women and children. They had lost their shoes, and their bodies and faces were stained with blood from being beaten. They staggered on their feet, and suddenly a woman fell to the ground.

Immediately behind, there were golden soldiers on horseback, laughing and stepping on the woman's head.

It was almost too horrible to see, but then there was a buzzing sound, and the golden soldier who jumped up on his horse fell off the horse with a strange scream, and the falling horse's hoof happened to step on his head.

The horse's hoof trampled the head, causing a splash of blood. The golden soldiers around him screamed and were stunned, and then they saw the phalanx standing quietly in front of them.

At the front of the phalanx, a thin, girl-like soldier with an unclear face stood alone in front, pointing his crossbow at this side.

I can't see the face clearly, but I can see the armor and clothes clearly, Zhou Bing.

From such a long distance, he can still aim at the only unobstructed throat of the golden soldier. This soldier is really good at archery.

However, the Jin soldiers were not applauded by this arrow technique. They stopped, looking angry but surprised.

Didn’t all the Zhou soldiers in Bazhou withdraw?

The common people seemed to have seen the light of day and rushed towards us, crying and excited.

"Divide into left and right, go backwards." Orderly shouts rang out from the queue of Zhou soldiers here.

The solemn and threatening voice made the panicked people subconsciously follow the instructions and run left and right to the rear of the group of Zhou soldiers.

The Jin soldiers did not pursue them. The dozen or so leading Jin soldiers made several circles on horseback, cursed several times at the Zhou soldiers here, and then ran back to the queue.

The breath in the wilderness became stagnant and suffocating.

The golden soldiers also began to line up and move forward.

Li Guorui gasped rapidly and tightened his grip on the long knife in his hand.

This was his first time fighting in the open with so many golden soldiers, and he would be lying if he said he wasn't afraid, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the two girls in the formation, as well as the woman behind the baggage cart in front of the formation, and felt that

Somewhat funny.

The baggage cart was turned over, and several women were squatting behind the cart, holding a wooden board tightly in their hands, but they couldn't see clearly what it was.

The women showed no fear, and the two girls in the array looked calm.

Do they know what fighting is? Do they know how to fight?

The golden soldiers are getting closer and closer. At this time, it should be time to start a wave of battles with crossbowmen.

The golden soldiers over there have raised their crossbows, but there is no movement at all.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps...

If this continues, by the time you take out your crossbow, it will be too late and you will be shot into a hornet's nest.

Li Guorui could no longer bear it, raised his crossbow and shouted.

"Let it go!" A high-pitched male voice sounded first.

It’s finally time to release it, but it’s a little late!

Li Guorui hadn't picked up the crossbow yet, and Li Guorui was shouting in his heart, but the next moment he still didn't see the soldiers raising the crossbow, but the women behind the baggage cart suddenly shouted in unison, pushed down the wooden planks, and the baggage cart

Suddenly, a piece of wood flipped over, and something flew forward from it.

Stone? Was this baggage cart also a trebuchet?

But this is not a city war. What's the use of throwing rocks on the ground!

It is not as effective as a crossbow to smash the opponent's head and bleed him.

Li Guorui was about to shout, but the next moment he heard several roars in his ears, the ground trembled, and a burst of fire and smoke rose in front of his eyes.

The approaching golden soldiers screamed and rolled to the ground.

"put!"

Ten women behind the baggage cart pressed down the wooden planks hard again, and a few more black stones flew out.

After a few booms, the golden soldiers fell instantly again, with wailing and screaming, pungent smoke, and rising fire mixed with flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

The originally solemn formation of the Jin soldiers had fallen into chaos. Dozens of corpses were lying on the ground, and dozens more were rolling and screaming.

It only took two blasts, but hundreds of people were killed.

Li Guorui was deafened and dumbfounded.

horrible.

What on earth is that?

Why did the stone bomb explode?
