It’s rude to come and not return.
Chapter 029
Following Qin Wu's order, a burly Shandong man walked towards Qianhu City carrying a copper hammer.
Zhou Yandong looked at the bandit's weapons and clothes, and lowered his voice: "Master Qianhu, these are the border troops!"
Cheng Shijie nodded. He didn't know where Zhou Yandong made the judgment.
For Cheng Shijie, the military is still an outsider.
As the strong man walked into a stone's throw, he raised his head and shouted: "Listen to the dog officers and soldiers in the city, you..."
Before the strong man could finish his words, Cheng Shijie interrupted: "Let Qin Wu come over!"
"We are the boss..."
Cheng Shijie shouted at the top of his lungs: "Qin Wu didn't dare to come forward. Is it because he was afraid? Qin Wu was afraid. Qin Wu was too scared to come over and see this Qianhu!"
The originally lifeless military households on the top of the city suddenly became active and shouted and cursed at the bottom of the city.
"You have so much courage to come out and embarrass yourself. Go home and feed yourself!"
"Who is a good guy if he hides his head in his crotch? They are a bunch of cowards!"
"Coward, you're a coward!"
At this time, the military households on the city wall were no longer afraid of these bandits. After all, the bandits had no siege equipment, and the bandits could not grow wings, let alone fly up to the city. Therefore, these military households were somewhat emboldened, and they dared to attack the people below the city.
The bandits laughed and cursed, ridiculing and showing contempt in every possible way.
When Qin Wu saw this scene, his lungs suddenly exploded with anger, and he was about to order an attack.
Fortunately, his staff persuaded Qin Wu: "The boss will not raise troops when he is angry!"
"Gou Guanjun, scold me, you will cry sometimes!"
Qin Wu angrily ordered to set up camp and build siege ladders.
But it was only then that they discovered that the woods outside the city had been cut to pieces by the military households of Qianhusuo. The nearest woods to them were more than twenty miles away.
"These dog officers are smart!"
In fact, Qin Wu really misunderstood Cheng Shijie. The felling of trees was not to prevent Qin Wu and others from attacking the city, but to build houses.
Just when Cheng Shijie breathed a sigh of relief, he received the news. Baihu official Liu Renjie took his twenty-two soldiers and ran away from the east gate of Qianhusuo.
When Zhou Yandong heard the news, he was furious: "If you run away, the monk will not be able to escape from the temple, and Liu Renjie's son and wife will not be able to escape..."
"Forget it, it's going to rain and my mother wants to get married, let them be!"
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly and said: "I will never force anyone who doesn't want to follow me, Cheng Shijie. The path I am taking is not an easy one. Wealth and honor are found in danger. Those who don't have the ambition and endurance should leave early and save money."
Heart……"
At this time, Zhou Yandong discovered that Shen Mingyu and Chang Yu, two of Liu Mingyu's confidants, were not here, and his servant Ding Bing was not here either. He was a smart man and vaguely understood something.
Zhou Yandong looked into the distance and opened his mouth. He wanted to ask, but he didn't speak.
Because Cheng Shijie didn't regard him as a confidant, otherwise, he should know about this.
Cheng Shijie looked at the military households around him, raised his head and said slowly: "This is the first time this Qianhu came here. At the Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu Office, do you know what this Qianhu saw? He saw a beggar-like man.
At Qianhu Station, I saw a group of homeless beggars. I took you guys to build a military camp, rebuilt the city, gave you food, gave you salt, and gave you salted fish, so that you can live a good life."
At this point, Cheng Shijie's voice became louder and louder: "This Qianhu wants to lead you to establish a military reclamation, so that each of you can have your own land. This Qianhu builds Qianhu Health School, and wants your children to be able to read
Submit a letter, I want to train you, give you better equipment, and build a strong military formation. I have so many things to do. As long as we all do it seriously and do it one by one without slacking off.
, If we don’t take it easy, one day, our footprints will cover the entire land of the Central Plains, and our voices will resound throughout the entire era. Soldiers of Zuo Qianhu Station, tell me, are you willing to follow me?
"
"I do!"
"We do!"
"Whatever you say, this Qianhu can't hear!"
"We are willing to follow Mr. Qianhu to the death!"
Cheng Shijie looked at the bandits under the city wall and said: "If I say that I will give you food, I will definitely give you food. I will tell you that whoever kills a bandit will be rewarded five taels of silver. I don't want to
Those who want money will be rewarded with ten stones of grain. You don’t need to save money for thousands of households. Do you want to take the money?"
"think!"
"think!"
"think!"
At this time, Song Kangnian looked at the excited soldiers at Zuo Qianhu Station, and he became a little fanatical.
At this time, Cheng Shijie was so golden in Song Kangnian's eyes that he dared not look directly at him.
The bandits' siege officially began in the afternoon.
About a thousand bandits carried ladders and rushed towards Qianhu City. Although Qianhu City was known as a military fortress, the problem was that Dengzhou Guards had been in peace for too long, and the moat outside the city had long been filled in with mud.
Seeing the bandits under the city getting closer and closer, Cheng Shijie became a little anxious. His palms were sweating and he ordered: "Archers... shoot arrows!"
"don't want……"
Zhou Yandong didn't know that Cheng Shijie was going to order the arrows to be fired, but his voice was already too late.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
More than a dozen bows and arrows were shot crookedly, but seven or eight bows broke directly. The soldier holding the bow and arrow was hit in the face by the bow arm and screamed repeatedly.
Cheng Shijie was shocked: "What a fool!"
The archers inflicted seven or eight wounded on themselves before they had time to kill them.
These crude bows and arrows are really harmful to people.
A bandit had already poked his head out from the ladder. The fierce bandit swung his knife and slashed at the military households on the city wall.
"Puch..."
Before the bandit's sword could reach the military household, he was stabbed into a bloody gourd by a military householder with a spear.
However, more and more bandits emerged from the city.
Even if Song Kangnian had seen this scene, he was so frightened that he hid behind Cheng Shijie.
Cheng Shijie held a Tang straight sword and held it tightly with both hands.
Three or four bandits appeared in front of him. Cheng Shijie closed his eyes subconsciously and wielded the Tang straight knife to kill them randomly. He only felt a warmth on his body.
When Cheng Shijie opened his eyes, he realized that the three bandits in front of him had been chopped down by him. The head of one of the bandits hung down disobediently and was hung to the back. Only a little skin was still attached, stained with blood.
splash!
Cheng Shijie was also sprayed with blood, and his face was distorted, like a ghost. At this time, a group of military households rushed up, and Cheng Shi and Cheng Hu, two men in disguise, were also trembling, holding knives to protect Cheng Shijie.
Cheng Shijie wanted to vomit and was extremely nauseous.
But he also knew that until he was a brave soldier, anyone could be afraid, but he could not be afraid. If he was afraid, the entire Qianhufu would be ruined. If he had known better, he would not have taken such risks.
But the problem is, there is no regret medicine in the world.
From the time Qin Wu ordered to attack the city, it has not only been a quarter of an hour, but the entire city wall is full of dangers.
Cheng Shijie was in a hurry: "Get out of the way and let me get in!"
It was a good thing that Cheng Shijie didn't say this. As soon as he said this, a group of military households rushed forward with screams and adopted a life-for-life strategy, finally repelling the bandits.
The casualties at Zuo Qianhu Station skyrocketed. In just a quarter of an hour, at least hundreds of people died on the city wall. Cheng Shijie became anxious and shouted: "You are no match for him, get out of the way!"
But the more he said this, the more soldiers rushed forward, making him jump to his feet in anxiety!
Zhou Yandong gasped and said: "Master Qianhu, forget it, stop shouting, they won't let you fight for it!"
"Why?"
Cheng Shijie didn't understand.
"They can't trust the court, they only trust you! They count on you for their reward and pension. If something happens to you, who will they go to for money?"
"Idiot!"
Cheng Shijie was stunned at such a strange reason.
Since taking up the post of Zuo Qianhu, Cheng Shijie has tried every means to benefit the military households. Especially repairing the city, this is actually to avoid feeding idle people.
Although nominally you have to work to get food, you are responsible for food and food. Those who have children can take their children with them, and those without children can take their wives with them. Those without wives can also take their parents with them.
Cheng Shijie tried his best to let them eat some salted fish after the salt factory produced salt. These additional benefits won him military morale.
The military households now believe that Cheng Shijie will do what he says and will be rewarded for his merits. Even if he is injured and killed in battle, his pension will not be less. These are all visible benefits. Naturally, they will not let him go up to fight. What if he
If it fails, everyone will have no hope!
Qin Wu looked at the stalemate battle on the city wall. At this time, the defense line on the city wall where Zuo Qianhu was located was already shaky and could collapse at any time. However, they did not collapse.
As the casualties of the bandits skyrocketed, the morale here began to decline.
Qin Wu and the leaders looked at each other, and they all saw worry on each other's faces.
This Qianhusuo is harder to fight than imagined.
"Master, we can't fight anymore. If we continue to fight, it's time for our brothers to rebel!"
"withdraw!"
Qin Wu made a decisive decision and ordered a retreat.
Looking at the bandits retreating like a tide, Cheng Shijie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Zhou, hurry up and get people to treat the wounded, and order the military households to strictly stick to their posts and beware of the bandits attacking again!"
Cheng Shijie arranged all this and started to prepare.
The bandit's third boss has finished, now it's his turn to take action.
It is rude to come and not reciprocate!
Chapter completed!
