Chapter 11 The Enemy in Guangyuan City?

Ordinary people who wanted to leave the city and the class that hated the Song people started a skirmish in Guangyuan City, and in the end, it was Li Changjie who suppressed it by force, and the matter was finally brought to an end.

But the seeds of the riot have been planted, and sooner or later, it is only a matter of time before this matter will break out.

In fact, the biggest headache for Li Changjie was not what happened in the city, but the refusal of the Song army to fight him head-on.

Guangyuan City, a big city, has people inside and fertile land outside. In order to prevent the city from being besieged, the defenders of the city generally need to have their backs to the city walls and go out of the city to meet the enemy.

It is also necessary to send highly mobile cavalry to harass the enemy troops on the flanks, and if the enemy forces can be weakened in this way, then the battle will be easier to deal with.

But every time Li Changjie sent out his soldiers, the Song army would turn around and retreat. As the soldiers advanced, the Song army's crossbowmen began to shoot without saying a word.

Their arrows were not very lethal to the heavily armed Cochin soldiers, but the gunpowder tied to the arrows blew up the Cochin soldiers outside the city.

The nearby terrain is jungle and high slopes, which are not suitable for cavalry combat. In the end, there was no way, Li Changjie had to withdraw the troops.

If not, it's no different from sending someone out to die.

The first battle was lost, and the people in Guangyuan City fell into panic again. After the next two days, the incessant feints of the Song army at the north gate had exhausted the Jiaozhi defenders at the north gate.

The people in the city were even more frightened like birds, afraid that the next attack of the Song army would break through Guangyuan City and enter the city.

It took Li Changjie four days to determine that the number of Song troops in the south was small, so he planned to attack from the south gate, and after eating the Song army at the south gate first, he occupied a place outside the city and joined the reinforcements to counterattack.

However, just as he was thinking about how to carry out this plan, something unexpected happened.

From the west, more than a dozen people dressed as civilians walked on a small road and walked towards Guangyuan City.

The defenders were extremely shocked, but they saw the Song army in the woods to the west, how did the dozen or so people in front of them pass through unharmed?

Hadn't they been captured by the Song army? Or is it ...... Among them are spies of the Song army?

"Stop!" Far away, the defenders shouted from the city wall: "If you dare to go a hundred steps closer to the wall, I will kill you!" ”

"Don't do it, sir! We are all ordinary people! The visitor shouted.

"Where did you come from?"

"We are the inhabitants of Guangyuan City, and we are ashamed to say that a few days ago we escaped at night, and we met the Song army in the west.

I wandered there for two days and didn't find a chance to leave

, we stiffened our heads and prepared to rush through.

But after the Song army captured us, they didn't kill us, but gave us some dry food and coils, and let us choose where to go.

We inquired a little, and Song Jun said that as long as it was the people, they would not be embarrassed. We thought we'd come back, pick up some things at home, and then we'd ......."

"Nonsense!" The leader of the defenders suddenly walked out, pointed to the more than ten people who looked up at the city and said, "You must have reached some deal with the Song army, and you want to enter Guangyuan City to spread panic, right?" ”

"No, my lord, it's not like this......"

"Don't say more! There must be spies sent by the Song Army among you! If this official lets you into the city, if something happens, it will be a catastrophe for Guangyuan City! ”

"My lord! We all have the folk cards of Guangyuan City, and we are all residents of Guangyuan City! If you don't believe us, you can find our neighbors, and they will know us!" ”

"Less!" The leader of the defenders scolded angrily: "You bunch of dogs who eat inside and out! To keep you alive is to disgrace my Annan face!

Where are the crossbowmen? Kill them all! ”

"My lord! I know that guy! He lives in the downtown area north of the city, where my house is, and I've seen him many times! He's still a ...... seller" At this time, a defender who had just gone to the latrine and had just returned saw several people in the city, and suddenly pointed to one of them and said loudly.

"Hugh is talking nonsense! Crossbowmen! Do it! ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Tie him up for me, too!"

More than a dozen Jiaozhi people in the city fled screaming and fleeing one after another, and the Jiaozhi soldier who recognized the person was also tied up by a few soldiers who were reluctant but had to do so.

"Boy, are you tired of being alive!" An older soldier whispered in his ear while tying a rope: "At this time, you have to say that you don't know him, if you have to know him, isn't it equivalent to burying him!" ”

"But he's obviously our Annanite! When I was younger, I saw him doing business over there! Even if you don't trust anyone else, can't you let him in alone? ”

Perhaps because he was a recruit, he had a hard time understanding what the veterans meant.

When he first entered the army, he had an idea, that is, to protect the kind people of Guangyuan City. If the enemy came to plague the people, he would hack that person to death with his sword.

But now, it is not the enemy who kills the people, but the guardians of the city. This shook his conviction – who was the enemy? Who are you fighting against?

More than a dozen people in the city fled in a hurry, and the crossbowmen in the city were unwilling to kill them in their hearts. So the arrows that are shot out one by one are not so deadly,

A lot of people just shoot at the empty space where no one is around, and then slowly load the arrow.

Even so, several people fell from arrows.

They screamed and fell to the ground. Covering his wounds, tears flowed down his face. Looking in the direction of Guangyuan City, his eyes were filled with all kinds of emotions.

Grievance, unwillingness, confusion, anger, hatred......

They didn't understand why these defenders were doing the way they were treating. Obviously, he didn't agree to any conditions for Song Jun, and even refused the dry food and coils they sent.

Obviously, there are no spies in the team who are mixed with the Song army, and everyone is a person who knows the roots. And why are the longbows and crossbows in their hands aimed at themselves? Why did this feathered arrow, which should have fallen on the enemy, fall on his own body?

"You don't have to die well!" A common man in the middle of his chest, with all his strength, shouted out such a sentence.

Even in the midst of the noise, the defenders on the walls could clearly hear his hoarse roar.

This is the most vicious curse, and without unforgettable hatred, it is difficult for one person to say such a vicious sentence to another.

The head of the defenders, whose eyes were red, pointed to the man who was lying on the ground and shouted this sentence, and roared: "Shoot him to death!" Concentrate your fire! Shoot him to death! ”

"My lord, this ......," said an archer beside him, hesitatingly.

Before he could finish speaking, the longbow in his hand was snatched away by the leader of the defenders. Then the leader of the defenders behind him drew several feathered arrows from the quiver behind him, and shot them one after another at the people lying on the ground.

"My lord, he's dead...... My lord! He's dead! He's already had six arrows in his body...... My lord!! ”

The leader of the defenders turned a deaf ear and kept repeating the mechanical act. Draw the arrow, build the bow, and shoot the arrow again.

It wasn't until the quiver behind the man was empty that he reached out and touched it, and when he didn't touch the arrow again, he threw his longbow to the ground and left without saying a word.

Of the rest of the people, very few escaped. More than a dozen corpses lay in the open space outside the city, looking lonely.

The leader of the defenders walked over to the creep with his mouth gagged and looked him up and down.

The little soldier's eyes were very red, his face was stained with tears, and he was sweating profusely, and it seemed that he had struggled very hard just now.

"Take him down and keep an eye on him." The leader of the defenders finally whispered, and then he turned and walked away.

"Woooooooo Woowoowoo!! Behind, the creep seemed to be saying something. But his mouth was gagged with strips of cloth, and the words that came out turned into moans of unknown meaning.

There was a dull thunder in the sky, and in a moment, I am afraid that it will rain......
