Chapter 517: Jade Shattering

The herd mentality of the Han people is the most serious, as long as there is a responsible leader, often a flock of sheep is likely to burst out like a lion.

Xu Zhixian scattered all his family resources to pay the young and strong, which is equivalent to breaking the family for the country, under his inspiration, the big families in the county have contributed money and food, and there are soon 3,000 hundreds of people who defend the city and countryside.

Xu Mingyang led thousands of young adults to take advantage of the abundance of stones in Pingshun County, and transported stones into the city day and night to move them to the city as the main defensive weapon.

All the carpenters were involved in building trebuchets, and they didn't want to have a long range, and they didn't mind the difficulty of firing boulders, as long as they could throw a stone of one or twenty pounds thirty or fifty paces, it would be enough to make a big difference.

It is possible that the thieves found that Pingshun County was too poor, and the food they could loot could not keep up with the speed of consumption, so the Eight Great Kings, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Lone Wolf, and the Broken Sky and other thieves took more than half of them to the northeast to kill, and they may be accomplices who are preparing to kill near Xishan.

Leave Pingshun County to Ma Wangye, Chaotianfei, Kaishan Harrier, a handful of hairs and other thieves.

Although the total number of rogue bandits on this road has reached 60,000 or 70,000, there are actually less than 20,000 thieves, no more than 2,000 horse thieves, and no more than 300 old horse bandits with real war horses.

When the Kaishan Harrier and a few other thieves arrived, they did not surround the county town, and they also knew that the siege of Sanque and a void would break the determination of the soldiers and civilians defending the city.

Xu Mingyang was worried about the camp that stretched for several miles at the head of the city, and he had already told his wife and daughter that the soldiers were in danger, and that it was difficult for the defenders of Pingshun County to defend the city, and if the thieves broke the city, he would die in battle or commit suicide.

The historical Xu Mingyang was injured and captured after the county was breached, and still scolded the thieves, and finally was tortured by the thieves and died tragically, his wife and two daughters who followed him hanged themselves in the county seat.

Several of the big leaders of the Liukou did not take Pingshun City seriously, and they all drank and played with women in the camp, and the minions drove the newly coerced people to create some simple ladders with the intention of trending the homeless ants to attack the city.

There is nothing fancy, and there is no basic formation, tens of thousands of rogues and homeless people are either excited, or full of empty eyes, or full of helplessness to approach Pingshun County, and the mess is actually mixed with children crying and women screaming.

A few thieves mistakenly thought that they would be able to take Pingshun County in one day, but who knew that the mountain people were not afraid of death, and they threw stones accurately and ruthlessly, and the displaced people who were forced to charge were injured for two or three thousand and were not able to put the ladder on the city wall.

No one can throw stones from a long distance to throw more than ten catties of stones, which is basically less than five catties, that is, the total amount of most of the slabs and bricks in later generations.

These stones were thrown down from a high place, injuring nine times out of ten, and it was possible to kill the rogues only by directly hitting the leader, so the homeless people who were forced to attack the city were wounded and not too many were killed.

The thieves had no choice but to collect door panels and tables for the homeless people to carry to the city.

However, they were attacked by large stones thrown by the catapult, and they were so beaten that sixty or seventy thousand rogues were unable to carry out the ant siege for a day.

There were heavy losses, and several big leaders of the rogue were angry, and they ruthlessly broke the county seat, and they must kill all the women of the county lord's family to death.

The next day, the rogues refused to leave their lives in vain, and adopted the tactics of besieging the regiments on all sides.

The few archers and bird-gunners in the rogue were all dispatched, and the siege began to become fierce, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.

In the next two days of offensive and defensive battles, the rogues rushed to the city many times and were beaten down many times, and the corpses under the city were piled up like a mountain of blood, and the number of dead and wounded on both sides may have reached seven or eight thousand.

On 15 May, four days and four nights had passed since the fierce battle in Binh Thuan County, and both sides were extremely tired.

The rogues did not take advantage of the sparse moon stars to launch a night battle, and it is possible that the old thieves were licking their wounds in the camp.

There was no crying in Binh Thuan County, that is, the people of the city were no longer sad for their relatives who died in the battle, and they silently took all the weapons and equipment they could find to catch up with their relatives waiting by the Nai He Bridge in the next battle.

Xu Mingyang, the magistrate of the county, was covered in blood, and he was a civil official, and he actually carried a knife to cut down two homeless people who climbed up to the city, which shows that Pingshun City is already at the end of the crossbow.

His wife and daughter, including the subordinates in the mansion, were trying their best to bandage the wounded, and when they saw that the whole family of the magistrate had come to join the battle, the defenders of the city did not complain, and most of them were full of pride.

Rather than broken jade than complete, Xu Mingyang read the books of sages, Kong said that he became benevolent, and Meng said that it is his duty to sacrifice himself for the country, but when he saw his two daughters at the age of sixteen and fourteen, Xu Mingyang's heart was often like a knife.

At night, the family did not go back to the county Yahou house, they snuggled together under the city wall like all the city defenders, Xu Mingyang and his wife and daughter were relatively speechless, they were all feeling each other's body temperature, and they were all nostalgic for the beautiful world......

In the afternoon of the same day, the vanguard of the "Red Banner Army" finally arrived at a village called Nanmenyu, a dozen miles south of Pingshun County.

The personnel composition is two cavalry generals, three infantry generals, a full 1,800 people, all regular soldiers, and all the standard wheelbarrows of the infantry are reserved for the main force.

The main commander of this biao man and horse is Zhao Kun, Sang Yu and other five real generals, they immediately used clairvoyant mirrors from different directions to observe the situation of the Pingshun offensive and defensive battles, and found that although there were many Liukou, the attack was disorderly, and it seemed that they could not take the city today.

They gave up the original plan to cover up and break the siege from behind when the rogues attacked the city, this is because this is only to defeat these rogues, and there will not be too many kills and captures, too many rogues will run up the mountain, and the "Red Banner Army" has too few men and horses to complete the search.

Binh Thuan City is still there, and it will be harmless to launch an attack a few hours later, and it will also bring the main force closer to the battlefield.

After consulting with Yuan Siming, Zhao Kun, and Liu Sihai, Sang Yu thought that the stall spread out by the Liukou was too big, and even if the main force arrived, it would not be possible to complete the encirclement and annihilation with seven or eight thousand people, so it was better to wait until the middle of the night to carry out a surprise attack while it was very good.

Because the common people do not have fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and other meat to eat, too many people suffer from night blindness, and more than half of them cannot see at night, and one of the main dishes of the "Red Banner Army" is sea fish, so there is no regular soldier night blindness.

Zhao Kun and Sang Yu judged that it was very likely that such a badly disciplined rogue, who would rashly suffer a blow at night, and even if there was no camp roar, a large group of blind people would be lambs to the slaughter.

When more than 20 or so commanders, deputy generals, pacification officers, and cultural instructors were formulating plans for the night raid, good news came, and several of the accompanying flag guards contacted the "winged tigers" department, which had more than 800 young and middle-aged people.
