When Wang Jian, Jin Hui, and Li Shitai arrived outside Fuping City with 5,000 troops, it happened to be the morning after their departure. Wang Jian was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so he planned to capture Fuping County with lightning speed.

.

Wang Jian and others ordered people to prepare ladders, rams and other siege machinery. With an order, five thousand men and horses rushed straight towards Fuping City.

Zhu Zhen had been waiting on the city for a long time. Five hundred archers had already strung their bows and were ready to attack the people below the city.

Seeing that the crazy enemy was within shooting range, Zhu Zhen pulled out the long sword from his waist, swung it forward fiercely, and shouted: "Fire the arrows!" Five hundred archers fired arrows at the same time, and the sharp arrows were like rain.

fall.

The soldiers attacking the city of the Tang Army held their shields high, but more than a hundred people were still injured by arrows. But they had 5,000 men and horses, and they rushed forward one by one with a roar, ignoring the fallen soldiers. There were dozens of injured soldiers.

Let your own army trample under your feet and scream miserably, but no one cares about them.

This is the cruelty of war. Human life seems to be as worthless as grass. No one cares about other people's lives. They can only follow the brigade of people and rush forward. If any of them stop, they may be killed.

You will be overwhelmed and trampled by the large group of people behind you.

Zhu Zhen waved the long sword in her hand again, and the second round of arrow rain poured down like locusts again. There was another burst of tragic shouts and painful groans from the city, but these sounds were soon overtaken by the more fierce enemy.

drowned by the shouts of the army.

The eight catapults on the top of the city also kept throwing huge boulders down the city. Many of the Tang troops who were attacking the city were unable to escape. Their tendons were broken and their brains were burst. Some were even smashed into meat patties and stained red with blood.

There was dust on the ground, but no one took a second look.

They have seen this kind of scene so many times that their hearts seem to have become numb.

Only five rounds of arrows were fired on the city, and the enemy troops had already reached the edge of the moat. Fuping City is a small county town, and the moat is only more than two feet wide. The attacking Tang army placed a long ladder on the moat.

Simple wooden bridges were built. They swarmed across the long wooden ladders, and many people accidentally fell into the moat, causing countless splashes.

Wang Jian saw that seven to eight hundred Tang soldiers had already crossed the moat, and he was very excited. He thought to himself: "We will definitely be able to capture Fuping City in less than an hour."

But before Wang Jian could be happy for long, he saw more than ten black tube-shaped objects dropped from the top of the city. Before he could react, those tube-shaped objects exploded one after another with a "bang bang bang..."

The sound was so loud that the soldiers who had just crossed the moat fell down screaming without even bothering to cut the ropes of the suspension bridge.

One of Tang Jun who was a little further away felt his heart tremble, and a fierce heat rushed towards him. Before he could react, he felt a coldness on his face. He subconsciously touched it with his hand and saw that

His hands were covered with blood. Only then did he feel a sharp pain. Seeing the bloody appearance of the people in front of him, he was horrified! He hurriedly shouted and ran back subconsciously.

Someone who had the same idea as him was there. For a moment, everyone ran back. The people behind were rushing forward on the wooden ladder, but they ran forward. The wooden ladder was narrow and its load-bearing capacity was not very strong.

.People on both sides crowded on the wooden ladder, and many people fell into the moat, but they continued to crowd forward as if going crazy.

The Tang army behind them could not help themselves, and those who fled back were frightened. How had they ever seen the power of this "shaking thunder"? They were so frightened that they even urinated and excreted themselves, and ran back in a rage.

run.

For a time, the wooden bridge made of wooden ladders seemed to be like dumplings, and Tang soldiers kept falling into the moat. Finally, the wooden ladder was overwhelmed and broke with a "creak" sound. Tang soldiers on the wooden ladder fell into the moat one after another.

In the blink of an eye, five of the six wooden ladders broke, and the last one finally broke with a creak after being supported for a while. Although the ladder broke, the people on both sides of the moat had no time to stop, and the people behind

Under the crowd, they fell into the moat one after another, and it took a while before they stopped.

For a time, the already narrow moat was full of struggling Tang troops. Zhu Zhen on the city was never idle. He saw that he was scared to death with just a dozen "earth-shaking thunders", and he couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Laugh. He ordered the archers to keep firing arrows. The moat was crowded with people. How could anyone escape the sharp arrows fired by Zhu Zhen’s archers?

Zhu Zhen's archers were all trained by Zhu Zhen himself. Zhu Zhen's archery skills were acquired from hunting in the mountains since he was a child. He could hit any fast running beast with one arrow, let alone these people crowded together.

Who are you? Those archers have also learned from Zhu Zhen for a long time. They cannot be said to be as powerful as Zhu Zhen, but they are not comparable to ordinary archers.

For a time, the Tang troops in the moat kept screaming in agony, and the originally turbid water turned red like blood.

Wang Jian was also a little confused for a moment. How could he have imagined that such a situation would happen? Looking at the siege troops who suffered heavy losses, he was about to call for gold and withdraw the troops, but suddenly he heard the sound of killing behind him. His heart was startled.

When he looked up, he saw dust rising not far away, and densely packed rebel troops were surrounding them all over the mountains and plains. Judging from the number of people, there were twenty to thirty thousand people. When he looked at the opponent's flag, he saw a big "Hu" character on the flag.

Wang Jian was shocked, it turned out to be Hu Zhen! Oh no, he was ambushed! Wang Jian hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and after greeting Jin Hui and Li Shitai, the three organized a team to rush out.

But at this time, they only had 4,000 men left, while Hu Zhen had more than 20,000 men, and they were deliberately setting up an ambush for him. How could they allow him to retreat at the first sign? Hu Zhen was standing on a high hill, condescending.

Looking at the movements of Wang Jian and others, he smiled and waved the command flag in his hand. Wherever he pointed, the army would attack.

Wang Jian and others led their troops to charge several times, but were all killed and could not rush out at all. Wang Jian and Jin Hui were covered in blood, and it was unknown whether they were injured. However, Li Shitai was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder and had difficulty moving.

Li Shitai did not dare to pull out the arrow on his shoulder and hurriedly said to Wang Jiancheng: "Brother Wang, what should I do?"

Wang Jian's scalp was also numb. If he tried to charge, he would definitely not be able to get out. If he didn't charge, he would almost be waiting for death. Wang Jian sneered and suddenly turned over and dismounted, just dodging a sharp arrow. Wang Jian took off his armor while

, while saying to Jin Hui and Li Shitai beside him: "If you want to survive, change your clothes quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Jin Hui and Li Shitai also understood Wang Jian's intentions at this time. Although they were a little disdainful of Wang Jian's shamelessness, this was the only hope of getting out. When people face death, most people can throw away their shame.

However, there are not many people like Wang Jian who have never thought of any shame. After all, if he can become a great hero in the future, he will definitely not be a simple figure.

Sometimes it takes a lot of courage for a person to act decisively and do something that others think is very shameless. There are not many people who can do this. But those who know they are defeated but still fight bravely to the end cannot succeed.

Heroes cannot be called heroes, they can only be martyrs!

A real hero or hero should be able to bend and stretch. Only by being immortal can he create a more glorious tomorrow. If he falls once, he can get up again. Even if he falls countless times, he can still get up. Only such a person can become a real hero.

Or a hero.

People who cannot afford to lose can never become real heroes. No matter how powerful they are, they are the same. No one is perfect. There is never a myth of being invincible on the battlefield. It can only be said that some people can often win battles. For example, Gao Pian

Zhang Lin, the first general under his command, is this kind of person. He has never lost a battle in his life. The last time he was defeated by Zhu Wen, he even lost his life. If he could escape by changing clothes like Wang Jian, with his military skills

Talent may not necessarily lead to a comeback.

Of course, Jin Hui and Li Shitai were not fools. Seeing Wang Jian change into the soldier's clothes, they looked at each other, nodded quickly, dismounted hurriedly, and took off their blood-stained armor...

The battlefield was extremely chaotic. Although Hu Zhen had a large number of troops and Zhu Zhen in the city also opened the city gate, lowered the drawbridge and came out to fight, it was impossible to annihilate all the thousands of Tang troops. It was inevitable that only three to two hundred people would escape.

matter.

Wang Jian and the other three were all gone. The Tang army was leaderless. How could they still have fighting spirit? They all had no choice but to run to a place with few people and rush out as hard as they could. They fought for more than two hours before the battlefield became quiet.

The remaining five or six hundred Tang troops were all covered in glory, and most of them suffered varying degrees of injuries. Now they all threw down their weapons and expressed their willingness to surrender.

But Wang Jian, Jin Hui, and Li Shitai had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape. Now the three of them fled to a woods, with only a dozen people left around them. Wang Jian said bitterly: "This 'pot thief' Zhu San is really

He was so cunning that he let Hu Zhenshuai's 20,000 troops ambush outside the city. Zhu Zhen in the city didn't know what kind of weapons he used, but they were so powerful that the cowhide armor had no protective effect at all!"

Jin Hui said: "Brother Wang, we have lost the battle. I don't know how Eunuch Yang will punish us if we go back. What should we do now?"

Wang Jiandao: "What else can we do? Of course we go back! Now that the court is employing people, Eunuch Yang shouldn't punish us too much. What's more, it was Eunuch Yang who made a mistake in employing troops this time. What if he punishes us?"

Aren’t you just slapping yourself in the face?”

Jin Hui nodded and said: "Brother Wang is right, let's see how Li Shitai's injury is..."

The arrow on Li Shitai's shoulder had been pulled out. At this time, a soldier was bandaging him. When he heard Jin Hui's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't die for a while. I will definitely come back when I recover from my injuries."
