Shi Jin hurriedly put on his armor, took Zhang Qiang's bow and two pots of arrows, and then he and Shi Qian stood by the arrow stack above the city gate again.
At this time, when I looked at the officers and soldiers in the distance, I saw them coming in overwhelming numbers with torches. The vanguard had already set up a position three hundred steps outside the city. Thousands of shields and swords were lined up in several rows.
It winds out to both sides. Behind it is a huge cavalry regiment, each holding a torch, spreading out from near to far like a fiery red carpet. And this is just the forward camp of officers and soldiers, with a continuous line behind.
There were more soldiers coming. The fire was blazing, and there were many weapons. The brothers who were guarding the city were all frightened. Even Shi Jin's expression changed slightly.
Just when he was so nervous that even breathing was unnecessary, Shi Qian suddenly came to Shi Jin's side and whispered: "Brother, look at their awesome momentum. You said they are working hard to mobilize people, but what about it?"
Shi Jin was originally in a very solemn mood. Looking at such a large formation, he was frightened by the officers and soldiers for a moment. He really thought that the time for the decisive battle had come, and his hands made a loud banging sound. However, after Shi Qian made such a joke, Shi Jin suddenly changed from the extreme
He came back to his senses from a state of alert.
With such a strong force, it is possible to suddenly launch an siege at night. Although Shi Jin has not read any military books, he heard his master Wang Jin talk about it a lot. He at least knows that the best way to defeat the enemy is to be quick and efficient.
"It's not easy, attack them unprepared." This is the only magic weapon for attacking difficulties, and having said that, "soldiers never tire of deceit" is a common thing for military strategists. But according to the current situation, the officers and soldiers seem to run counter to common sense. Such an overwhelming display of troops in front of the city
, Supervisor Meng must have had too much to drink. He acted out of common sense. You thought it was a military parade.
Just when Shi Jin was still thinking here, the part facing the city gate began to divide and rejoin, and a group of people marched from the rear. Shi Jin looked carefully with the torches of the officers and soldiers, which were as bright as day.
The group of men and horses were divided into five columns and marched side by side. The man in the lead wore a frost-covered sun helmet with a spike of green tassel on the helmet, a pair of plum blossom and elm leaf armor inlaid, and a red belt around his waist.
The armor is tied with velvet, and the animal face on the chest covers the heart. There is a white robe with a vivid color on it, and a purple velvet flying belt hangs. He rides a night jade lion horse, majestic and majestic, as if he is a general.
Jin moved his eyes and looked again, and saw more than a dozen generals following him. Looking at their outfits and mounts, he could guess the size of their official ranks. Shi Jin looked at them and straightened himself up.
This kind of suit stripped from the officers and soldiers is too embarrassing. After this storm is over, we need to find some black iron to give our brothers some powerful and tough suits. At least the momentum cannot be improved.
Lose to others.
Shi Jin felt that the momentum of his troops had dropped a lot, but for the sake of military prestige and morale, he wanted to take the lead verbally! At this moment, the officers and soldiers under the city also lined up and stood firm, so without waiting for the officer and soldier to speak, Shi Jin shouted loudly to the city
He said: "Tonight is neither a New Year nor a holiday. You government lackeys are putting up such a big show. Maybe you want to do a group dance to relieve the boredom of our brothers. Why don't you put on rouge and powder? Hurry up and change into some colorful bellybands."
Come back after you have painted your eyebrows and lips!" After Shi Jin said this, there was a roar of laughter from the top of the city.
All the generals under the city were angry, cursing and indignant. The leading general smiled indifferently, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then became angry and spoke in a thick voice.
Going up to the tower: "There has never been singing and dancing. If you want to see it, it's not impossible. There are thousands of dancing girls in the army. You can see it however you want, but..."
Before the general finished speaking, Shi Qian interjected: "But we don't have money to reward you!" Shi Qian's interjection was just right. As soon as the general said "but", Shi Qian continued It was perfect. This sentence made the brothers in the city smile again, and some even took advantage of the situation and started shouting, which made the officers and soldiers below the city angry.
Unexpectedly, not only was the general not angry, but he also took advantage of Shi Qian's words and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a reward, as long as you surrender, I will give you a pink and tender dancing girl, and you will have a share of the white money." !”
"Go to hell with your mother's bitch!" "Bah! You still want me to surrender." "Shut your mouth and get out of here!" "If you surrender, let your father go down and chop you up!"
When Shi Jin saw that his brothers were agitated by the officers and soldiers' words of persuasion to surrender, the city was in chaos with shouts and curses. Shi Jin raised his hand to his lips and made a loud roar. For a moment, all the brothers in Shaohua Mountain were quiet. When we came down, it was so quiet that the only sounds were the sound of war horses scraping their hooves and torches burning.
Everyone focused their attention on the leader. They were all looking forward to how the eldest brother they admired would impassionedly scold the officers and soldiers, how he would make them humiliate themselves and promote the prestige of Shaohua Mountain.
Shi Jin paused, but unexpectedly changed his expression, and said calmly: "Surrender also requires chips, what are the benefits? How will our brothers in Shaohua Mountain settle down? At the very least, the name of surrender must be pleasant to the ears. !”
"Hahaha! It's easy to talk. The imperial edict of recruitment will arrive tomorrow. As long as you are willing, I, Meng Sen, will be your master. I see that you also have good skills. Follow me and work hard, and I will ensure your success. .”
As soon as Shi Jin heard "Meng Sen", his pair of bright eyes locked instantly. It turned out that this person was Inspector Meng, and he really had extraordinary courage. Tonight he appeared in front of the battle in person, even if there was no conspiracy. There must be some trick, don't be careless, you need to be careful!
Before Shi Jin could think about it, he saw Inspector Meng raise his hand and wave. The shield bearers lined up in front of the formation turned their huge shields sideways one by one, revealing the bow and arrow shooters hiding behind them. Seeing that each of them had fully drawn their bows, in response to an order, the four rows in front and behind fired arrows together. The dense arrow feathers should be set off by the firelight of the officers and soldiers, and they were like locusts, rushing towards them.
Shi Jin and others were all shocked. Just a moment ago, they were talking about recruiting people, and the next second they fired arrows. No matter how sweet-talking a person is, he would never fall out so quickly. Could it be that he really followed the old saying? No, "If a person is humbled, he will be invincible"!
Shi Jin was frightened, but it was nothing. He had just found out that Inspector Meng, an old fox, had come in person. Shi Jin had no intention of doing anything good with him. But the two armies were three hundred steps apart, and ordinary arrows could not fly over. With this bit of common sense, anyone who doesn't know is already dead. As long as there is no one alive here tonight who doesn't know it, then Supervisor Meng's unexpected move is too embarrassing and unethical. Forget it, it’s really embarrassing if you don’t have the standards. I don’t know what kind of official Inspector Meng’s father once was. If he knew that his son had done such a thing, wouldn’t it be like smoking on the ancestral graves...
But at this moment of Shi Jin, before he could finish his thoughts, those arrows did not draw an arc in the mid-air in front of the wall and then fell towards the foot of the city as Shi Jin expected. Instead, they shot out in some terrible way. The speed is still coming!
