"Anyone who makes noise will be killed without mercy!" Hou Yan drew his horizontal sword from the Shouzhou City Tower and shouted.
The Bian soldiers under him were okay, they were all old men who had experienced battles. Although their morale was low, they would not cause chaos on the spot.
We lost some men outside the city before, but now there are still 900 left, and they have all gone to the city.
The real danger is the nearly 3,000 strong men who were forcibly recruited.
It is common sense that strong men and women can also play a role in defending the city. The question is under what circumstances can it play a role?
Being surrounded by enemies, and the enemies are relatively ferocious, and the soldiers and civilians in the city unite under heavy pressure and resist desperately, then even a half-grown boy or woman can go to the top of the city to fight as cannon fodder. After all, they have the advantage of the location.
But is that the case today? Apparently not.
There are at least two local forces in Shouzhou outside the city, namely the state general Wei Shoujie, the tribe of He Chongnian, and the tribe of local tycoon Zhu Jing.
Wei Shoujie was the adopted son of Wei Qian, and Wei Qian was a subordinate of the former governor Zhang Ao. He Chongnian was the younger brother of He Zangyao. He was the culprit who drank with Zhang Conghui and caused the governor Jiang Yanwen of the Sun Confucian faction to kill all the generals. Later.
Zhang Conghui was cut off from the waist and abandoned in the city, and He Zangyao was escorted to Bianzhou, where his spine was broken and he was tortured to death.
These two people inherited the local military and political power in Shouzhou before Sun Ru arrived...
Zhu Jing represents a local tycoon and knight-errant, but his prestige cannot be underestimated. He was even appointed as the governor of Shouzhou by the "imperial court". With the so-called righteousness, these two forces came forward together and shouted to the city to persuade them to surrender. The effect was naturally very great.
Outstanding.
At least, the newly recruited strong men quit their jobs, and there was a lot of noise, and some people just ran away. The Bian soldiers were few and they couldn't take care of them at all. And Jiang Congxu's more than a thousand soldiers and horses were not very dedicated. They were Sun Ru's old troops.
Taking refuge with Zhu Quanzhong was also an expedient measure. It was just that before. How could he be willing to sacrifice his life for them now? What's more, Jiang Congxu's words may not be effective, and the opinions of his subordinates are not completely unanimous.
Hou Yan saw signs of danger and made a prompt decision. He ordered the sergeants to capture a few of the men who were making the most noise and raised the knife. After a while, the sergeants handed over the bloody heads.
Hou Yan grabbed the head, without looking at it, and threw it at the trembling crowd, saying: "Everyone returns to his own section for defense. There must be no mistakes."
"Dong dong dong..." There were bursts of drums under the city, followed by waves of louder shouts of killing. Hou Yan turned around and saw that the Xia army outside the city had assembled a batch of simple attack weapons.
The city's weapons are heading this way.
He was a little surprised. Shao Thief is really brave. He only has more than 10,000 soldiers now. How can he dare to attack the city? How dare you?!
Can't you wait a few more days to reorganize the interior before attacking the city? Give me a few days!
Shouzhou Dingzhuang, who had just been shocked by the head, made another uproar. The Bian soldiers glared at them, drew their swords and guns, and tried to kill them. This did frighten them, but it also caused them to completely collapse.
Someone yelled and ran away, and soon others were brought along, and a large-scale escape began.
"Stop! It doesn't matter if you run away. After the Xia thieves enter the city, they will kill your whole family. It will be too late to regret it!"
"Fuck you! There are Wei Shoujie and Zhu Jing outside the city. If we surrender to them, we will definitely not be harmed.
"The summer thief kills people in the wild"
"Go away! Zhu Quanzhong and Shao Shude are not good people. We will only vote for Zhu Shijun."
"Where is Jiang Congxu? Catch him and kill him. Shouzhou belongs to Shouzhou people, not Liang people, nor Xia people. Kill these Cai thieves."
"Outlanders, get out of Shouzhou!"
Chaos was inevitable. The nine hundred Bian soldiers on the city head were rushed to pieces, and their morale was inevitably affected.
The ladder truck arrived at the bottom of the city. Zhu Jing's two thousand-strong men climbed up the ladder and quickly jumped to the top of the city.
Without anyone to greet them, the panicked Bian soldiers launched a counterattack subconsciously. With the cooperation of a group of three or five people, it only took a moment to cut down and stab to death the dozen or so people in the first wave, which demonstrated their good fighting qualities.
.
But this is just their subconscious, mechanical counterattack, just a reflection of their eating skills, but the core problem has not been solved yet: no one wants to die. Zhu Jing was furious when he saw it. Agui led the team, and when they climbed up the tower, he still
I was very excited, but someone slashed me in the neck with a knife, and blood rolled down.
King Kong Slave led the second wave of people to kill them.
The two sides fought fiercely up and down the city wall, and from time to time someone fell down screaming, most of them belonging to Zhu Jing.
They were good at using complex terrain to carry out guerrilla attacks, but when they fought head-on, they were cut to pieces by the Bian soldiers who had been fooled by them.
At this moment, Zhu Jing realized that if he wanted to truly secure his position as the governor of Shouzhou, the kind of grass-roots team he had before would have to do a lot. Even if King Xia did not replace him in the future, and Yang Xingmi or Zhu Quanzhong came to kill him, he would not be able to stop him.
Realizing this, Zhu Jing put away his petty thoughts and no longer dared to be arrogant or underestimate the world's heroes.
The brutal fight ended quickly, and the vajra slave died in battle!
With red eyes, the jackal slave rushed upward with the third wave of people.
At the same time, shouts of killing also rang out from the other side, and two thousand men from Wei Shoujie and He Chongnian began to attack the city.
Zhu Jing became increasingly anxious. If he could not conquer Shouzhou first, how would he be able to suppress those state soldiers and generals in the future?
"Jiang Congxu has run away!" Weeping shouts sounded one after another from the Shouzhou City Tower.
The air seemed to be stagnant. The siege party suddenly burst into cheers. Everyone worked bravely and their morale was greatly boosted.
The resistance of the Bian soldiers seemed to be much weaker all of a sudden, and the number of people appearing at the top of the city gradually decreased.
Zhu Jing pushed aside his followers, led 300 people, and rushed out first. The people who wanted to attack the city in person and stood on the top of the city were not driven back again. The jackal slave picked up a walking stick and fired repeatedly
The stabbing must be brave. He knows that he has saved a life. If the Bian soldiers still fight to the death and refuse to retreat, his ending will probably be the same as that of Agui and Vajra slave.
But luck is also a part of strength. Jiang Congxu's escape was just right, which directly destroyed the last remaining will of the defenders to fight.
Shouzhou City was won!
Zang Dubao, the envoy of Tianxiong Army, finally arrived at Anfengju.
To his surprise, there was a group of cavalry roaming outside the county town. It seemed that they had just arrived. They were wearing black banners, black armor, and black flags, and they were holding horses. They looked very capable.
"Form up a formation! Kill the enemy!" Zang Dubao ordered.
Ten general Li Lin ordered a battalion of 500 soldiers and began to put on armor.
The sergeants took out their two-handed swords and talked and laughed happily, seemingly not worried about the upcoming battle.
There were more than 200 thieves on horseback. After seeing them from a distance, they gathered together.
Soon, a horse came forward and said: "I am Xu Wen, the Marquis of Yu, Zuodu, the Black Cloud and Long Sword Capital under King Wu's tent. I don't know -"
"Whoosh!" An arrow passed over his head. Xu Wen was startled and he quickly rode back to the formation.
"If you don't attack with force, this arrow won't kill you." Zang Dubao lowered his bow and said loudly: "I don't care who you are! Why don't you go back and reorganize your troops, let's kill you with real swords. Heiyun Changjiandu,
Hehe, Li Lin!
"The general is here!" Li Lin answered loudly, holding a heavy sword.
"Take your troops, use your big sword to cut them into formation, and cut them down!" Zang Du ordered.
"Yes!" Li Lin returned to the front of the formation. Five hundred people had already put on armor and each had a long sword.
"Cut the formation!" Li Lin came out first, and the armor leaves clanked.
"Kill!" Five hundred people stepped out in unison, with long swords and murderous intent.
Xu Wen's two hundred cavalrymen were all elite black clouds. They had been on the battlefield many times and defeated the enemy's formations. But looking at the five hundred swordsmen pressing forward from far ahead, he was a little hesitant.
The sergeants of the Imperial Dynasty actually have a strong preference for two-handed slashing weapons such as epee/big sword, long sword, and Mo Dao.
Yang Xingmi had the Black Cloud Long Sword City, Zhu Quanzhong had the Left and Right Long Sword Army, and although Shao Shude did not form a special two-handed epee unit, there were many related equipment configurations in each infantry battalion, because this weapon was really popular among warriors.
.
Completely give up defense, wield the heavy sword with both hands, and fight for your life. Its main function is to "cut the formation"
In addition, if the opponent's cavalry troops are coming, the long sword army will take the initiative to meet them, advance on foot, and chop down the cavalry.
After the difficulties, this tactic became more and more popular. When he was fighting against Zhaoyi Liu Zhen, Emperor Wu specially gave the Heyang Army 2,500 Mo Dao, which were used in battle formations to fight against the cavalry. The long sword army did not rely on tight formations. In fact,
If you clash with the cavalry, you won't be able to maintain the formation at all, and you will definitely be rushed into the formation. The key is to continue fighting in groups after rushing in, and kill the slowing down cavalry one by one.
Therefore, this kind of organic long sword army cannot be underestimated. They must be elites. They cannot be taken lightly when they rush into a large formation, because most of them will not collapse and will continue to fight.
Five hundred long swordsmen pressed down like a mountain. Xu Wen hesitated again and again and ordered to retreat.
"General?" A military academy member was puzzled and said, "Why don't we go around to the flank and charge straight in."
"Can you defeat Changjiandu?" Xu Wen asked.
The military academy hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
Heiyun Changjian City was originally formed by the merger of Heiyun City and Longjian City. The official name to the outside world is "Heiyun City" because they all wear black armor and raise black flags, but there are still many people who are used to it.
It is called the "Black Cloud and Long Sword City", which is caused by the history of the Chengdu Army.
"There are thousands of Xia thieves. Over there, over there, and over there, there are people forming a team, ready to overwhelm them at any time." Xu Wen pointed his riding whip in several places,
Said: "The Xia army seems to be quite capable of fighting. These five thousand infantry are no worse than Hei Yun. King Wu was still careless in this attack. Shao Shude has been using the army for more than ten years, fighting continuously, killing all directions, and the Northern Army
Rui Shi does have some firepower."
"Let's withdraw first. We can wait until Zhu Shijun's power is gathered before we make any further calculations." Xu Wen whipped his horse whip and withdrew.
Two hundred horsemen followed him reluctantly, leaving the battlefield in a flash and disappearing at the end of the southern post road.
"Enter the city!" Zang Dubao snorted coldly and ordered.
In order to rush forward, the food and grass were still behind. They had to take a rest in Anfeng County. It was just in time to conduct a good reconnaissance of the area. Are the Huai bandits so courageous that they can bully me?
