Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although this is a cliché, it is an eternal truth. The silver of the white flowers is piled up on the base of the city wall, and if you survive, you will get a share of it, which an ordinary soldier cannot earn in a lifetime. In troubled times, human life is like a dog, and how much can human life be worth? Fight once, maybe you will have no worries for a lifetime, you can't talk about being rich and rich, but you can also eat and clothe yourself.

What's more, after the Xiao clan entered the city, they sealed the city with bricks and stones and sent people to guard it, even if they wanted to go out, they couldn't do it, and today's plan is only to fight to the death, either die and die, or survive, take the reward, and then go to live their own free life.

Speaking of which, the Xiao clan came from such a broken family and clan, which also made all the soldiers admire. Luo Yishui used to be a hero of Dayue, but with his current collusion with the Qin people and the sale of Kaiping County to the Qin State, it has already made many soldiers extremely dissatisfied. The Qin people and the Yue people have been fighting for almost three years, and the hatred between the two sides has become deeper and deeper because of the accumulation of blood.

Giving up the idea of escaping, and strengthening the belief in the decisive battle, all the people in the city were immediately busy, thousands of people went into battle together, in just half a day, the houses in the city were almost swept away by destruction, and the thick beams were lifted up the city wall, made into a beating wood, nailed and patted, and the stones were lifted up and stacked on the edge of the city wall, which could be used to smash people. Some of the most useless wooden planks of flammable materials were thrown under the city, forming a barrier around the city, and if you want to cross this place, you must slow down.

Longyou City is not big, 3,000 soldiers plus 1,000 Xiao clansmen, in the deployment of troops is worry-free, ordnance is not bad, in Luo Yishui rebellion for more than a month, Zhongping County has been transporting a large number of weapons, ordnance, grain and grass here.

With the foot crossbows in place and the trebuchets supporting their long arms, Longyou City has changed from a place where the army is discouraged and ready to flee at any time to the most determined stronghold against the rebels in a very short period of time because of the arrival of the Xiao clan.

The county soldiers were tired for a long time, one by one leaning on the root of the city wall, but the Xiao clan people wearing filial piety clothes were in high spirits, they stayed on the city wall, rubbed their knives and guns, sorted out their equipment, and prepared to fight to the death with the enemy who was several times their own number in the future.

Xiao Zhenggang died in battle, and the head was used by Luo Yishui as a sharp weapon to deter the Vietnamese army along the way, and the Xiao clan people who learned the news were naturally sad and indignant, and under the leadership of Mrs. Xiao, they sold all their family property, became all their belongings, and carried the silver obtained from these things, and rushed to Longyou all the way.

This will be where their revenge will be.

When the sun turned orange and only half of the face was left on the horizon, the ground began to tremble, and a black line covered the sunlight behind it, overwhelmingly rushing towards Longyou County.

A big banner suddenly appeared, and in the city gate building, the old lady Xiao who was leaning on the chair opened her closed eyes, stood up, took the big knife from the hand of her son next to her, and strode out of the city tower.

There was an uproar in Longyou City, the big battle was imminent, and the county soldiers who had not fought any major battles were finally a little panicked, and the atmosphere of anxiety was transmitted in everyone's hearts.

Shi Zhuo stood on the city wall and bowed to Old Madam Xiao, "Madam, all ready, please watch the sons and daughters kill the enemy." ”

More than 1,000 Xiao clansmen dressed in filial piety clothes knelt down at Mrs. Xiao's feet.

"Mother, my son is going to kill the enemy, and I will give my mother filial piety in the next life!" Bang Dong hit the ground a few times, it was Xiao Zhenggang's eldest son.

"Grandma, my grandson is going into battle to kill the enemy, and I can't be under Chenghuan's knees." A childish voice sounded, and in his hand he held a large knife much higher than his own.

"Okay, good, Xiao Shi's son, there has never been only death on the battlefield, those who die in bed are all wrecks, and the old woman doesn't need you to be filial, today, there is a thief without me Xiao, Xiao has one person, and he will fight to the death with the thief to the end."

"Kill!" More than 1,000 men in white roared in unison, turned around together, and walked towards the wall.

The tragic atmosphere permeated the city, and the anxiety was swept away because of the hatred of these men in white, and Jian Fang, who was standing beside Old Madam Xiao, was also impregnated by this atmosphere, and for a moment there were tears in her eyes.

"Madam, the last general has also gone to organize the soldiers to prepare for the battle, please take care of your wife." He clenched his fists to the ground, turned around and strode out of the city gate.

The Longyou County under the sunset greeted the last bit of orange light on the horizon, and the entire city wall looked red, like blood. A banner of Dayue fluttered high above the city gate building, and the county seat was quiet, as if there was no one.

Huang Hao raised his hand, reined in his horse, and after the galloping army rushed forward for dozens of steps, it came to a complete pause, and after a short period of chaos, one army after another took shape in the shouting and reprimanding of the officers.

This is Luo Yishui's forward force, led by Huang Hao, 20,000 people, all of whom are Luo Yishui's direct subordinates before, fighting fiercely, and implementing Luo Yishui's will without discount. Along the way, almost all the battles were settled by them, and the main forces behind them only advanced after them.

Huang Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at the Longyou County in the distance, here, there is an essential difference from the place he attacked before, those places, the city wall is also so quiet, but there is no flag fluttering, the outside of the city is full of messy things discarded when fleeing, here, around the city, there are also some things piled up, but it is obvious that it is set up artificially, not discarded indiscriminately.

Looks like there's going to be a real fight here! Huang Hao even had some happiness in his heart, along the way, he had never fought a serious battle at all.

With a wave of his hand, a cavalry jumped out from behind him, and quickly ran towards the Longyou County in the distance, approaching those sundries, and the cavalry was dexterously divided into two, running quickly around the city wall.

They are not going to fight, but to reconnoitre, if they encounter the defenders who can't hold their breath, they will inevitably attack them, but whether it is a bow and arrow, a crossbow machine, or a trebuchet, against such a high-speed cavalry, there is basically no lethality, if there is really a cavalry attacked by them like this, it can only mean that the cavalry is too back.

The city was quiet, and so were the rebels in the distance, except for the thunderous sound of horses' hooves in the wilderness, circling around the city, and the cavalry riding back, and there was no reaction from the city, which was not good news for this battle-hardened army. At least it shows that they are not facing some kind of fish belly troops.

"It's kind of interesting!" Huang Hao nodded, turned his head and asked the deputy general beside him: "The previous intelligence shows that the person guarding Longyou County is a county soldier general named Jian Fang?" ”

"Yes, it's not well-known, and I haven't heard of this person before." The lieutenant general next to him spoke in a disdainful tone.

"After today, this guy will definitely become famous, because we can pick a new head on our flagpole." Huang Hao laughed and looked up at Xiao Zhenggang's head, which was carefully soaked in quicklime and still lifelike on the big flag behind him.

On the city gate building, Mrs. Xiao's hand holding the knife was exposed, and on the battlements of the city wall, through the cracks in the battlements, the bodies of the Xiao clansmen outside were trembling, and they all saw that the flagpole hanging high next to the other party's main flag, the head with all the hair and angry eyes was their father, grandfather, brother, and uncle.

The sound of heavy breathing was particularly clear because of the desperate suppression.

"Steady, no one is allowed to act without my orders." The cold voice of Time sounded, penetrating everyone's eardrums, and compared to these people, he seemed much calmer. He was used to seeing mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, and now, what he needed was not grief and anger but calmness.

"Attack!" In the distance, Huang Hao waved his hand, and said lightly: "Beat the drums, three drums, I want to see my soldiers standing on the city wall." ”

Drums sounded, trumpets sounded, and groups of soldiers lined up in long horizontal columns, holding shields and spears, and slowly marched forward, and one after another hurried ladders came out of the cracks in the ranks, shouting and rushing towards the city wall, and behind them, rows of archers with feathered arrows on the strings, eyes fixed on the wall, followed closely behind.

There was still no movement in the city.

Closer and closer, time stood behind the battlement, his eyes blazing. Silently counting the other party's steps in his heart, getting closer, approaching the piles of debris, the speed slowed down, the rebels began to move away from the debris, and the rebels behind were still approaching, and their team seemed crowded.

"Trebuchet, put!" He raised his arms in the air and fell heavily.

The quiet city wall came to life in an instant, and one by one the stone bullets flew out from behind the city wall with a roar, and the target that fell was within a few steps behind these debris, and the target had already been calculated, and the city was no longer to be aimed at at all, what they had to do was to shoot more stone bullets out in a short time.

The sound of rumbling stone bullets falling to the ground, the miserable howls of wounds, the screams of rage, the sound of fast running, the battlefield came to life in an instant, and the god of death brandished his huge scythe and smirked as he rushed over from the Nine Hells.

The pedal crossbow began to whist. Huge arrows and spears across the battlefield cut a bloody alley in the attacking crowd.

Feathered arrows flew like locusts, sweeping the crowd into the blanks.

Huang Hao's face changed slightly, and the other party's defense seemed to be graded, obviously, this was not something that a junior brother who had never been on the battlefield could arrange.

"This Jian Fang, has he really never been on the battlefield?" He looked at the battlefield in confusion, and as he spoke, the second echelon had already rushed up quickly.

With the momentum of thunder, in one fell swoop to overwhelm the stubborn enemy in the corner, this is the law on the battlefield, if the first battle can not be heavy damage to the enemy, the enemy's morale will rise, their own morale will fall, the offensive and defensive war is extremely cruel, if you fall into a bitter battle, the casualties will be very large, there is no lack of hundreds of thousands of people in history to besiege a small county town, but in the end in vain to return the precedent.
