After thinking hard all night, Shu Yongjie thought of some ways to attack the village.

The army came to Pingshan Town, Dezhou from Wuqing County, Huangzhou, and did not carry siege equipment, sharpening knives without mistakenly chopping firewood, Shu Yongjie asked Rao Qiangfeng to let the craftsmen in the army build siege ordnance first. Pingshan town is mountainous and woody, the bamboo cut from the bamboo mountain is just used to make the siege ladder, in front of the stone village set up ten arrow towers and the Zhuang Ding on the wall of the wall to shoot each other, the wooden planks are nailed into the moat, after noon, the army began to attack the village.

Li Mingfeng commanded the counterattack on the wall, and Zhang Keji did not use a flat wall when designing the wall, but protruded outward, and it was like a jagged tooth, looking like a big mouth with fangs. Zhuang Ding can shoot the bandits who climb the ladder from the left and right at the same time on the jagged wall, and for a while the bandits fall like dumplings in the pot.

Rao Qiangfeng couldn't bear it, held a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, and climbed the ladder in person. Seeing the general personally out of the horse, the morale of the Tianjun was greatly boosted, and Shu Yongjie ordered the archers on the arrow tower to cover Rao Qiangfeng to climb up.

The two sides were intertwined with arrows, Rao Qiangfeng gradually climbed to the top of the ladder, and as soon as he came out, a steel knife swept in, Rao Qiangfeng resisted with the shield in his hand, and the "dang" shook his body down, so strong.

I wondered if it was Zhang Tiansheng that Shu Yongjie said, and pressed down hard with his hand on the battlement of the wall, and his body rose with the help of force, and jumped up suddenly. In the air, he saw that there were many people on the wall, and three steel knives with Li Xiao slashed at him from the left and right.

Just listening to the sound of the wind, he knew that the momentum was fierce, Rao Qiangfeng roared sharply, and the shield in his left hand was swept out to the two knives on the left, and the axe in his hand was towards the steel knife on the right. The shield in the left hand first touched the steel knife, and the strong shock from the shield body caused Rao Qiangfeng's figure to retreat to the right, and it happened that the axe in the right hand met the knife on the right side. Rao Qiangfeng's hand turned hard and soft, and with the help of the knife on his right side, he tried his best to twist his body, and dangerously pointed the tip of his right foot on the wall. Without waiting for him to stand firm, the steel knife on the left side followed like a maggot attached to the bone, stabbing the front heart and inserting the lower abdomen.

Rao Qiangfeng's eyebrows jumped, master. aroused the battle intent in his chest, the shield in his hand protected his upper body, Rao Qiangfeng's figure reached forward, picked up the axe and slashed at the person in front of him. On the long ladder, Meng Zihui then climbed the wall, and when he saw that his eldest brother was in danger, Meng Zihui rushed forward regardless of his body, and slashed the knife in his hand to a person on the left. The man had to withdraw his knife and hold the knife that Meng Zihui had chopped.

The man on the right was shocked by the axe and took a little back half a step, and after standing firm, he swung his knife and went up again, at this time Rao Qiangfeng had already taken a step forward, standing firmly on the wall, protecting the long ladder behind him. When the Heavenly Army saw that the general had successfully climbed the wall, they thundered with joy and continued to climb up the long ladder.

Li Mingfeng was inspecting half a mile away, and when he heard the chaotic noise on the wall, he found that the bandit army had actually climbed the wall. Very unexpectedly, I didn't expect that there would be such a master in the Heavenly Army, who could actually carry the Jiang family's guards, you must know that the Jiang family's guards are all dragon guards who are trained by the dragon guards, and most of them are masters who can fight one enemy and ten enemies and one hundred.

If the wall is occupied by the bandits, if the thousands of people in the village will be in danger, Li Ming raised his knife and ran towards the thief who made the axe, and with the momentum of running, the steel knife slashed towards Rao Qiangfeng. Rao Qiangfeng became more and more frightened, the Jiang family actually had so many masters, I am afraid that the masters of the Heavenly Army could not add up, there were more than 200 people on the wall, it was really like a copper wall, and the brothers behind the wall around him kept screaming and fell to the ground, Rao Qiangfeng retreated.

Left

, a steel knife came with a scream, and a white mang came out through the knife, and the knife was a master of the house. Rao Qiangfeng was bitter in his heart, how many hole cards did the Jiang family still have. If it was a weekday battle, Rao Qiangfeng would never retreat, but at this moment, he had no desire to fight, so he avoided it backwards, and used the shield in his hand to the side to unload the strength of the sword body.

The knife slashed on the shield, Rao Qiangfeng felt a light hand, and the iron shield was actually split by the steel knife, and "dangchang" fell to the ground. Rao Qiangfeng threw the remnant shield in his hand towards Li Mingfeng, turned around and grabbed Meng Zihui behind him, and jumped off the wall. The three-zhang high wall could not help him, and when he was about to land, Rao Qiangfeng swung his axe and smashed it to the ground, and a force slapped the ground dusty, and with the help of the strength of the shock, Rao Qiangfeng stood firmly on the ground.

…………

Jiangfu has become chaotic, Zhushan has become Tongshan, not to mention, the empty space in the courtyard is full of looted property and food by the minions. It was getting late, Rao Qiangfeng ordered the troops to be collected, and led his generals through the messy courtyard to the hall, and the banquet was set, but Rao Qiangfeng had no appetite.

Shu Yongjie said cautiously: "Today's general showed his might, almost took down the back village, at the end of tonight, he will order people to build more siege equipment, and tomorrow will definitely take the back village." ”

Rao Qiangfeng pondered for a moment and said: "General Shu, in today's battle, I found that the Jiang family's guards are quite strong, and it is not easy to take down Houzhai, but Rao is a little underestimated." As I said yesterday, let you take the Houzhai within three days. ”

Shu Yongjie knelt on the ground and said in a choked voice: "Thank you for the general's forgiveness, Shu is also going to repay the general's kindness." After the defeat, Shu Yongjie heard cold words, the general's words can be regarded as justifying his name, not that Shu is incompetent, but that the Jiang family is too powerful.

Meng Zihui followed Rao Qiangfeng to attack the wall and fought with Jiangjiazhuang Ding, and he had a deep understanding of Jiangjiazhuang Ding's power, he and Huang Sanben, Wang Kai, Li Zongming, Cao Chengduo and several others followed Rao Qiangfeng for more than ten years, like brothers, spoke without scruples, and said: "Big brother, if we continue to fight like this, we can't take down the Jiangjia Houzhai, it is better to take the Xinqi County first, supplement the supplies and then make plans." ”

Eight thousand soldiers and horses brought 15 days of military rations, from Wuqing County to Pingshan Town spent seven days, in Pingshan Town did not loot much grain, originally planned to take the Jiangjia Houzhai can make up for the grain, according to the current view of the Jiang family Houzhai is afraid that it is difficult to take the smooth take. Once the delay is long and the reinforcements from the court arrive, it will be a loss to the husband and the army.

Rao Qiangfeng was in trouble, this expedition to Pingshan Town Dong Junshi did not agree, thinking that he lost a lot because of a small loss, but in order to avenge Cao Chengduo and seek justice for the loss of Linhua County, Rao Qiangfeng persuaded Dong Haoyun that he went to Pingshan Town to fight quickly, and copied the wealth of the Jiang family to supplement the supplies, now it seems a little reckless, the Jiang family is not a fish belly that can be eaten at will, it is a fierce and prickly hedgehog.

The scope of Jiangjia's Houzhai is not large, and it is difficult for more than 6,000 soldiers and horses to deploy, Rao Qiangfeng thought for a while and said: "Zihui, tomorrow you will take 3,000 soldiers and horses to Xinqi County, and I will stay here to continue the attack. ”

When the news of the bandit army coming to Pingshan Town arrived, there was a rumor in Xinqi City, and the four gates were closed, and Li County ordered the government officials and regimental training to be sent to the city wall, and recruited thousands of young men in the city to help defend the city. Yu Shuzhijie, the former secretary of the household department, even sent out more than 50 young and strong servants in the family, donated 2,000 stones, and called on the squires in the city to come out

People donate money to protect the city and defend the home.

It was late at night, Yu Zhijie was reading under the lamp with a scroll in his hand, and after returning home, Yu Zhijie's face became ruddy, and his complexion was much better than that of Beijing. With a book in hand, Yu Zhijie was a little distracted, begging the rebel army to come east, he was already fighting with the Jiang family in Pingshan Town, and he might come to attack Xinqi County at any time.

The Jiang family sent someone to pick him up, but Yu Zhijie refused, and the two younger brothers and their children and nephews avoided Wenping Mansion, and the grandchildren all studied in Beijing, and he was the only one in charge of the entire Yu Mansion. Yu Zhijie put down the book, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he has nothing to worry about, if the thief breaks the city, he will finally serve the country, and use this old bone to inspire Zhicheng and Anyi to be loyal to the country.

The Jiang family couldn't persuade themselves, so they sent four masters to protect them, and these four masters lived in the mansion. Yu Zhijie stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, he had already decided to live and die with Xinqi County, and he had exhausted Yu Zhong, and there were a few letters that could be taken out by the four masters. There is a great terror between life and death, Yu Zhijie stroked his white beard and showed a painful look on his face, remembering the news that he had not yet waited for the nomination of several grandchildren, and thinking of the hope of the prosperity of the four generations of the same family, his heart fluctuated, and many words appeared in his mind to explain to the Son of Heaven, children and grandchildren, sons-in-law, and disciples.

Leaving a name in history, reading the book of sages is nothing more than that, Yu Zhijie's expression is agitated, Da Zheng has been in the country for nearly two hundred years, and the world has been peaceful for a long time, and I haven't heard of the deeds of loyal ministers and martyrs for a long time. Since the accession of today's son, there have been constant wars and turbulent storms, and these letters will let the Son of Heaven and the world see their loyalty and martyrs, so as to inspire the world's will to serve the country, and it will be worth it even if they die. Thinking of this, Yu Zhijie took the pen and paper and wrote hard.

Rao Qiang's troops were divided into two routes, and Meng Zihui led 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xinqi County. In the evening, Rao Qiangfeng received a military message from Meng Zihui: Xinqi City was well defended, and the people went to the city to assist in the defense, and it was difficult to conquer in a hurry.

Under the sunset, the stone village was dyed with gold, it was really like a copper wall, Rao Qiangfeng secretly muttered in his heart, Jiang Anyi would not be his nemesis, since the incident, all unfavorable benefits have been related to Jiang Anyi, if he can't capture the stone village for a few more days, he can only lead his troops back in a gloomy manner, which is a heavy blow to the heavenly army.

Smoke rose in the village, and when it was time for dinner, Rao Qiangfeng looked at the exhausted sergeants around him and ordered: "Collect the troops and return to the camp." ”

"General, the last general has thought of a plan to take Shizhai." Shu Yongjie exclaimed in surprise beside him.

Rao Qiangfeng turned his face and said, "What's the way?" ”

Shu Yongjie pointed to the cooking smoke rising in the village and said, "Fire attack." ”

Fire attack, Rao Qiangfeng thought for a while, and said: "The stone village is in the col, if you can throw the fire-causing things into it, the people inside will be difficult to fly." Just how to throw fire into the wall? ”

Shu Yongjie said with flying eyebrows: "You can build a mountain of soil, throw wood, bamboo and other flammable things into the village from the mountain, and then ignite it with rockets, and the people in the village have no other way but to rush out." Hehe, the last general can also avenge the burning of the reeds. ”

Rao Qiangfeng was overjoyed and said: "General Shu, you are really resourceful, after taking down the stone village, you will be one of the five tiger generals of my Heavenly Army." ”
