Just when Yang Tong was discussing the next battle plan with his subordinates, Shan Xiongxin of Quanjiao County rested for two hours, stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, and walked from the county government to the city tower.

Since the beacon fire spread to Quanjiao County, Du Fuwei and He Panren led the superior army, surrounded the county, and then launched a fierce offensive, these two days and one night, the battle of the fortification almost did not stop for a moment, the sharp siege equipment made Shan Xiongxin suffer heavy losses, although he had the heart to rescue Jiangyang Cang, Jiangdu City, but he was willing and powerless.

Jiangdu County Tong County 16, Quanjiao is one of them, Quanjiao County is mostly hilly, the land is fertile, and because of Chushui into the country, the rice fields in the territory account for more than half of the county's area, as early as the era of Yang Guang in power, it is a rich county, at its peak has more than 30,000 households, nearly 200,000 people.

The county town with a circumference of more than 20 miles, the original city wall is only two zhang and five high, but because Li Mi was defeated in Lujiang Xiang'an last year, Du Fuwei killed the intersection of Jiangdu and Liyang, Quanjiao, which is located in the westernmost county of the Jiangdu group, has become the front line of the war, after day and night repair and reinforcement, the city wall is as high as three zhang five, wide as one zhang five, the moat outside is three zhang wide, it can be said that it is tall and strong, the river is wide and the water is deep, it is an extremely rare fortified city in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's just that Shan Xiongxin has reached a very dangerous moment at this time, first of all, the water source of the moat is taken from Chushui in the southeast, and it is diverted to the outside of the city by artificial canals, but the Sui army has now cut off the water source, and the moat has become a dry ravine, after two days and one night of intense landfilling, there are already twelve roads as wide as three zhang leading directly to the city.

Secondly, Shan Xiongxin only has more than 20,000 soldiers left, except for the soldiers he left in Liyang who are elite, the rest are all county soldiers transferred from Jiangdu counties, and their combat effectiveness, loyalty, and will to fight are far inferior to those of elite soldiers. When the beacon smoke was lit and the Sui army besieged the city, the hearts of these soldiers were immediately filled with pessimism, which not only did not play a big role, but also affected the morale of the elite division. In addition, every time the Sui army attacked the city, it said that the news of the fall of Jiangyangcang, the fall of Jiangducheng, and the death of Li Mi caused the morale to be worse for a while. If the Sui army besieges the city for another day or two, I am afraid that this army will collapse without a fight, so why do you need the Sui army to fight?

Shan Xiongxin rode a horse to inspect the city, and the tense battle ended for about two hours, and the tired soldiers finally got a rest, and they all fell to sleep.

Groups of women, naked and shrunken on the side hugging their heads and crying, the desperate Wei soldiers, did not dare to face the powerful Sui soldiers, so they used the innocent and weak women in the city to vent their humiliation, and found the dignity of 'men' in them. The women were filled with fear, and they didn't know if they would be able to escape it.

Shan Xiongxin turned a blind eye to this scene, from the day he went to Wagang, he saw this kind of chaos, the pity and sympathy of his youth, benevolence and righteousness have long been lost, if these women can appease the hearts of the army, can make the soldiers strong again, he will not hesitate to undress the clothes of the women in the city, and then throw them into the soldiers, if money can improve the soldiers' will to fight, now even if it is the residence of the Jade Emperor, he will also kill the army...... All in all, as long as the soldiers can fight and defeat the Sui army, anything can be sacrificed. As for anything else, it doesn't matter at all.

These are troubled times.

As a citizen of troubled times, you don't fight for it yourself, don't blame others for not being strong for you.

Shan Xiongxin's war horse passed by a group of women, and he didn't look at the poor women, but his own soldiers whipped at the women who were blocking the way, and the women wailed and hid in the corner.

The soldiers and people in the city were all over the place, looking very lazy and casual, which made Shan Xiongxin's eyes full of annoyance, although he also knew that the soldiers needed to rest, but from the law of the Sui army's siege, the battle of attack and defense was coming soon, how could this kind of army face the battle? He roared, "Order everyone to get up and not to sleep!" ”

"Woo-woo!" But at this moment, there was a horn sound in the distance outside the city, which was the order for the Sui army to launch an attack, and it was also the horn sound that the Wei army was most unwilling to hear, but this kind of sound like a curse still appeared, and I saw that the black pressure army was rushing towards this side, Shan Xiongxin shouted: "Ring the bell to warn, everyone goes to the city to defend!" ”

'When... While... While... When ......'

The rapid and piercing sound of the bell rang in the city, and groups of soldiers rose from the ground in fright, and groups of soldiers rushed up the road, and the people stood by in a daze, not knowing what they should do.

On the contrary, it was the poor women, who were the most opposed, and as soon as they heard the trumpet, they immediately thought of the children of the house, and ran to the house under the city one by one, crying, and there were also a few women with beautiful eyebrows, as if they had lost their souls, as if they had not heard the sound of the trumpets and the bells, they sat on the ground in a daze, and when they were stripped naked and humiliated, they were already the living dead like the walking dead.

Under the city and above the city, it suddenly fell into a state of chaos.

Shan Xiongxin couldn't care about the women running around at this time, he stared at the Sui cavalry running quickly, these cavalry were full of energy, they were wearing Xuan armor, with a strong military might, like rolling waves surging, a killing aura filled the sky, and the earth-shattering killing intent and momentum shocked the Wei army at the head of the city pale.

Looking at the momentum of this cavalry and the familiar dress, Shan Xiongxin's eyes were solemn, and his face was difficult to see the extreme. The main general is still like this, and the Wei soldiers are even more unbearable, even Shan Xiongxin's carefully selected personal soldiers are also shocked.

Xiaoguo Army.

The damned Snap Army is here again.

The Xiaoguo army rarely appears on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and once it appears, it means that the Wei army is defeated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a nightmare for the Wei army and a nemesis for the Wei army.

Shan Xiongxin was very anxious, his soldiers and Du Fuwei for two days and one night, finally stopped, and tossed the time to the woman, and he didn't know if he could hold on, and shouted loudly, "Cheer me up, after I have done the woman, I have to work hard, prepare the bow and arrow, let the people bring the rolling wood and stones to the city!" ”

The Wei army ran back and forth in the city, the people carried sections of huge trees and stones to the top of the city, and thousands of soldiers stretched their bows and arrows, nervously watching the Sui army getting closer and closer. The 20,000 cavalry of the Sui army were overwhelmingly killed within half a mile of the city, such as Lin spears and bright armor, which made the legs of the defenders of the city tremble.

The elite cavalry stopped, and Du Fuwei's foot soldiers appeared, their armor, weapons, and momentum were far inferior to the Xiaoguo army. However, they came with the momentum of a great victory, and they fought with the Wei army, and their mental outlook was also quite good.

The soldiers defending the city nervously clenched the weapons in their hands, and as far as the eye could see, the Sui army all over the mountains was like a monstrous angry wave, while the whole Jiaocheng was like a flat boat in the stormy waves.

At the front of the cavalry was Xue Wanche, who was holding a horse lance, and he hurried and hurried, but he did not miss this battle.

"General, how to fight?" Duvovetzer immediately stepped forward and asked in a loud voice.

Although he is the master of an army, Xue Wanche far surpasses him in terms of position and prestige, and the other party is Yang Tong's confidant and favorite general, so Du Fuwei puts his attitude very low.

Xue Wanche looked at the Wei army above the city, and said: When General Du attacked the city yesterday in the morning, I went around the city and found that Shan Xiongxin's troops were not many. I propose to adopt the method of attacking the west with sound, and I will lead the cavalry to run around and release arrows, mobilize a part of the Wei army, and you will be responsible for the siege. What does General Du think? ”

"Okay, let's just fight." Du Fuwei is a man who has experienced a hundred battles, has led countless siege battles, and has rich experience in siege cities. But for the sake of generals, the first thing is to cherish the soldiers and try not to make unnecessary sacrifices. He also knew that cavalry siege was not suitable, but Xue Wanche's method could reduce his burden by more than half, and it also meant that the final battle damage would be reduced by at least half, so there was no reason to disagree.

Xue Wanche nodded, and instructed the deputy general beside him: "Our soldiers are divided into two routes, you fight Dongcheng, and I fight Beicheng." ”

"The last will obey."

The cavalry began to divide into two parts, Xue Wanche saw that the city was crowded with dense soldiers, which looked magnificent, he suddenly smiled, turned around and shouted: "Clear this gang of thieves first!" ”

The order was given, and the trumpet sounded

10,000 Xiaoguo troops followed his Shan Xiongxin to the west gate of the city rushed, the west city was suddenly chaotic, the Sui army rushed to the city, and at the same time to the city head of the arrows, the arrows were like a storm, whistling, the city suddenly let out a scream, the Wei soldiers were caught off guard, was shot down a large piece, Shan Xiongxin was knocked down by a soldier in time, but his helmet was shot away.

Shan Xiongxin slapped himself in the mouth with hatred, the Sui army had already been killed, and he forgot to give the order to release the arrow: "Release the arrow!" Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

The Wei army in the city began to counterattack, but they were pressed by the arrows of the Sui army and could not raise their heads, so they had to hide behind the city wall, and put arrows down by throwing arrows, the arrows on and off the city were like rain, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and the momentum was very spectacular, but the casualties on both sides were not large, and the Wei army hid behind the battlements and did not dare to raise their heads, and the range of their arrows could not reach at all, and they could not hurt a Sui army.

In a moment, the arrows of the Xiaoguo army suddenly turned into rockets, and a sharp arrow rushed to the city with a ball of fire, a large number of rockets hit the city tower, and the city tower began to burn, the fire became bigger and bigger, and the raging fire went straight to the sky, and the city head was in chaos, and the shouts, curses, and screams resounded.

Xue Wanche smiled and rushed to the north city with these ten thousand Xiao fruits, Shan Xiongxin shouted anxiously: "Sheng Yanshi, you bring five thousand soldiers to support the north gate." ”

"Oh," Sheng Yanshi bowed down and responded to the order, and led his soldiers to follow the Xiaoguo army under the city to the direction of the northern city, while the Sui army under the city was leisurely and leisurely, and a wave of arrows rained towards the city.

Xue Wanche's adjutant general also shouted, and under the guidance of the banner, 10,000 Xiaoguo troops marched towards Dongcheng. Shan Xiongxin was helpless, and divided 5,000 soldiers to follow the 10,000 Xiaoguo army.

"Five thousand sword and shield soldiers of the right army, a hundred steps closer to the city!"

Seeing that Xue Wanche's plan worked, Du Fuwei immediately commanded his soldiers to start attacking the city. The right army marched out in a line of 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, a team of 100 people, arranged in a neat queue of fifty, they held high the huge shield, and walked towards the city wall step by step.

The panicked Wei army did not expect Du Fuwei to attack immediately, and suddenly it was even more chaotic, the city shouted and screamed, bows and arrows were raised high, rolling wood and stones were piled up, and the Sui army fired arrows in less than a hundred steps, and the arrows rained down on the sword and shield army that came in formation.

However, the sword and shield army stopped advancing when it was a hundred steps close to the city, and after fighting for so long, Du Fuwei knew that Shan Xiongxin's bed crossbow, heavy stone cannons, and catapults were all lost in the Liuhe Mountain camp, resulting in no decent city defense equipment in Quanjiao County, after another temptation, he was finally relieved, and then issued an order, "Give me the catapult, and the sword and shield army will withdraw to guard." ”

After a while, tall catapults were pushed out by the Sui army, the big ones were as high as the city, like behemoth monsters squatting under the city, there were as many as twenty in total, and there were many small catapults.

"It's a catapult!" A soldier screamed.

Shan Xiongxin's heart was also half cold, he knew very well the deterrent power of catapults, as long as it was smashed wildly, the defenders who were in chaos were very likely to collapse without a fight.

Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd, and the Sui army's catapult attacked, and twenty boulders roared towards them, slamming into the top of the city with thick smoke.

There was a dull loud noise, and the city seemed to be shaking. Among them, nine huge stones smashed on the top of the city, the rubble broke through the air, and more than a dozen people were smashed into flesh and mud, and the appearance of flesh and blood was blurred, which was unbearable to see.

"What should I do?" Shan Xiongxin was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he knew that he couldn't keep today.

A pro-soldier said: "General, the Xiaoguo Army is the first army of the Sui Dynasty and Yang Dong's pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and its appearance is enough to show that Yang Dong is in Jiangdu." Now that it is under the city, it means that Jiangyangcang and Jiangdu City have been lost. Quanjiao City will definitely not be able to hold it, we still have more than 500 war horses, it is better to gather the generals, take advantage of the chaos to escape from the city, and go to Huainan to meet with Shengshang. ”

Shan Xiongxin pondered for a long time, finally nodded, and ordered: "You go and inform the generals and let them come to me to meet." ”

"Whoa." The pro-soldiers scattered with a bang.

Shan Xiongxin knew that it would take a lot of time for the catapult to be loaded, so he carried a shield and walked to the battlements. Shan Xiongxin, who was carefully watching the enemy's situation, and the defenders who were in a mess didn't pay attention to the eight women who were lost and depressed, and they were whispering something.

These naked women stared at Shan Xiongxin with hatred for a moment, and four of them suddenly ran away from the Wei soldiers who appeared behind Shan Xiongxin, and the other four rushed up with their waists, desperately holding Shan Xiongxin's legs, and then stood up.

Shan Xiongxin only felt that his legs were tight, and before he understood what was going on, the whole person rose into the air, and then fell off the city with his head and feet.

The height of the city is three zhang five, that is, about 11 meters, and when it fell to the ground, Shan Xiongxin's head fell to the ground like a watermelon and shattered.

In a split second.

The Wei defenders and civilians in the city were all stunned and stopped all movements.

Time was also at this moment, as if it had stood still, all the sounds between heaven and earth seemed to have disappeared, and the heads of the Wei soldiers were buzzing and blank.

They never dreamed that these women, who had been humiliated by them, would kill their general so neatly.

The women, however, smiled lightly, ran to the edge of the city, propped up the battlements, climbed up with great difficulty, and fell down one after another.

……

"What the hell am I? Or are you looking forward to Shan Xiongxin's early death, so you are dazzled? Du Fuwei, who was looking out of the city, couldn't help but be startled, and the clairvoyant mirror in his hand fell to the ground.

"General Du." Kan Ling beside him was overjoyed, jumped up, and laughed: "Father-in-law, it's really Shan Xiongxin, this bastard fell into the city and died." ”

Du Fuwei snatched the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, aimed in the direction where Shan Xiongxin fell, and suddenly laughed: "Sure enough, it's this bastard." ”

Suddenly, he yelled at the guards: "Roar at me: Shan Xiongxin is dead, and those who descend will not be killed." ”

"Shan Xiongxin is dead, and those who descend will not be killed."

"Shan Xiongxin is dead, and those who descend will not be killed."

“……”

After a while, the voice gradually changed from chaos to unity, and the roar of tens of thousands of people resounded over the battlefield.
