Jiang Shangyan sat on a small bench, humming a small song from his hometown, holding a stick in his hand, the top of the stick poked a white-flour steamed bun, at this moment the outside was already burnt brown, and the aroma spread in the room, and he clearly heard the cooing sound of several other people in the room swallowing saliva. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He laughed out loud and raised the browned steamed bun in his hand, "I told you that it tastes fragrant like this, but you don't believe it, now, just watch me taste it." Proudly stretching out two fingers, he gently tore off the burnt skin, and as soon as the shell was torn open, a hot breath came out of the inside, and the aroma was even stronger.

He threw the charred shell into his mouth and chewed it so much that everyone in the room looked sideways.

Jiang Shangyan was a general of the Chu army, and he led a thousand soldiers to be stationed in Mentougou, which was the only way from Shangqinglin to Baoqing Port. The topography of Mentougou is very distinctive, there is a large open land in front, after arriving here, it slowly narrows, and finally becomes a narrow passage between the two peaks, the narrowest point is only more than 100 meters wide. After passing through the Mentougou that stretches for more than ten miles, it is considered to have officially entered the territory of Baoqing Port, but the terrain begins to unfold slowly, just like a gourd, and Mentougou is precisely the point stuck in the middle.

As the first barrier of Baoqing Port, the Chu army built a checkpoint here, and at the narrowest point, a wall of more than 100 meters divided the gourd terrain into two distinct halves.

The city wall is built with huge trees sandwiched with frozen soil, about 100 meters long, but more than five meters wide, anyway, when this checkpoint was built, the Chu army also had labor, and they didn't have to pay wages, as long as they had two meals a day, there were countless locals to join it.

A thousand elite soldiers, here, is enough to stop thousands of troops, Jiang Shangyan doesn't care too much about the clouds hanging over Baoqing, he knows the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Shuntian Army, because he was also one of the officers who was sent to help train the soldiers of the Shuntian Army.

Such an army, fighting for some reason, is like a soulless walking corpse, without tenacity and combat effectiveness, and it is not worth caring about at all.

What's more, behind him, on that open ground, there are two large battalions, one on the left and one on the right, each with a thousand soldiers stationed, and there are also a thousand soldiers in Baoqing Port.

If they didn't want to die, they wouldn't have come to touch the nail.

"General Jiang, there is a situation." A lieutenant ran in from the outside, slammed the door open, and the cold air rushed in with the wide open door, sweeping away the warm atmosphere of the room.

"What's the situation, isn't it the Shuntian Army calling?" Jiang Shanyan jokingly said that in his heart, the Shuntian Army should not dare to come, because they knew very well the deployment here.

"I'm afraid so." The lieutenant nodded earnestly.

“****！” Jiang Shangyan burst into a foul mouth, still carrying steamed buns in his hand, and the person was already walking out.

Climb up to the high watchtower, and the open land of the outer gourd will be clear at a glance. Jiang Shangyan stared at the situation in the distance with wide eyes, a little confused, and turned his head to look at the officers on the left and right: "What is the situation?" ”

All the officers, like him, were equally puzzled.

Outside, in the large open field, countless people were slowly gathering, but they were not the soldiers of the Suncheon Army, but the young men at the bottom of the Suncheon Army, these withered and ragged people were like walking skeletons, slowly but surely began to gather.

I didn't see the army of the Suncheon Army, but I saw countless refugees, which made Jiang Shangyan incomprehensible, could it be that Mo Luo would let these refugees attack them?

"General, what should I do?" A lieutenant asked.

"Do you need to ask?" Jiang Shangyan tore off a piece of steamed buns, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously, and said fiercely: "Prepare to fight, no matter who you are, dare to approach us, and there will be no mercy!" ”

On the city wall, the terrible sound of military trumpets sounded, the rumbling war drums sounded, the soldiers ran to their positions with a slightly nervous expression, the crossbow machines, stone cannons removed the covered felt clothes, the soldiers were busy changing into bowstrings, nooses, and began to debug, rows of crossbowmen took out ox tendons from their arms, carefully installed them on the big bow, and pots of feathered arrows were placed in front of them. The spearmen, sword and shield bearers walked silently to the edge of the wall and set their spears on the wall.

Jiang Shangyan swallowed the steamed bun that had not yet been chewed fiercely, grabbed a handful of snow from the wall stack and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it with Kabakaba, and cursed a few words indistinctly.

Moro is really not a thing, he actually drove these refugees to attack the city with flesh and blood, such a person, it is really strange that he should not go to hell.

"Send someone to report to General Jiang immediately that the Shuntian army is about to start attacking." Stuffing the unfinished half of the steamed bun into his arms, he gave a loud order.

The Chu army on the city wall was like a sophisticated machine, and with Jiang Shangyan's order, every gear began to move, like a fierce beast opening its bloody mouth, quietly waiting for the enemy on the opposite side to send it to the door.

Jiang Shangyan leaned against the battlement, silently watching the other party. At this time, he had calmed down, and all the distractions that should not have been in his mind were abandoned, this is war, and there is no mercy.

He clearly saw a tall man waving a spear in his hand, saying something loudly, too far away for him to hear, but he could see that every time the man raised the spear in his hand, the people in the distance erupted into a shout.

The roars were hoarse, and they were a little powerless to hear, but slowly, the voices grew louder, not because they suddenly had strength, but because there were more and more of them.

Jiang Shangyan's expression gradually became solemn from the previous relaxation, and as time went by, as the crowd outside gathered more and more, he became a little nervous.

He is a veteran who has been on the battlefield countless times, killed countless enemies, seen countless companions fall beside him, and has escaped death many times, and he has formed his own unique feeling for the battlefield atmosphere.

For people outside, the combat effectiveness is indeed not worth mentioning, but now, there is something slowly generating among them, that is anger, that is resentment.

This inexplicable feeling made Jiang Shangyan feel like her hairs were standing on end.

The crowd slowly gave way to a passage, and from the passage, large balls rolled out, what was this? Jiang Shangyan hesitated for a moment, then reacted, and suddenly shouted in his heart, not good!

It was a snowball.

The snowballs that began to roll were two tall at first, but as he kept rolling, they gradually became thicker and taller, and dozens of such snowballs were pushed forward by the refugees, and each time he rolled, he became thicker.

Jiang Shangyan couldn't help but sweat when he saw these snowballs and looked at the terrain where the level was located, these refugees came up with a brilliant idea to attack the city wall, and they wanted to fill the height difference between the level and them with snow.

"Ballista, launch!" He gave the order loudly.

A crossbow machine with a sharp whistling, shot out a thick crossbow arrow, Jiang Shangyan stared intently at these guys flying in the air, the muffled sound continued to sound, some snowballs were hit when they were shattered into a ground, the crossbow arrows were still in force, continue to move forward, the refugees who pushed the snowball forward were strung into a string of sugar gourds, but some, but only the snowball pierced through it, shooting the refugees behind, but the snowball was still rolling forward.

"Crossbows, stone cannons, keep firing, smash all these snowballs!" Jiang Shangyan roared.

The snowballs were rolling, the crossbow machines were screaming, and the muffled sound of the stone cannon was particularly powerful under this special terrain, and the snow clumps were shattered one by one, but behind them, more snow balls were being reshaped, and the broken snow balls would not be wasted, and they were immediately stirred together by the snow balls that followed.

There was a loud roar overhead, and Jiang Shangyan looked up in shock, and on the top of the mountains on both sides of the level, snow balls were getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, and they were rolling down the steep slopes.

The steep hills on both sides made it impossible to attack from above, but the refugees figured out a way to climb and chose someone who was good at climbing and climbed up, they didn't need anything else, the snow was their weapon. They were going to flood the barrier alive with snow.

Jiang Shangyan dodged and retreated in embarrassment, and a piece of snow comparable to a small house slammed into the place where he was just standing, and the entire city wall shook, and the snow fell to the ground, and a section of the city wall of more than ten meters was almost filled with snow.

"Come on, come on, climb up and slaughter those bastards on the mountain for me!" Jiang Shangyan roared angrily.

The refugees pushed the snow ball and moved forward in silence, and from time to time someone fell under the crossbow arrows fired in front of them, under the stone cannons falling in the air, and fell in the feathered arrows that rained down, but they still moved forward in silence. There was no shouting, for they had lost the strength to scream from hunger. Some people walked and walked, and fell to the ground without any attack, and there was no more movement, that is, they had exhausted their last strength and were starved to death.

Forward, under the Baoqing Port, you can get food, you can eat a full meal. Everyone who walks forward has only one thought in their hearts, to move forward, in order not to starve to death.

Jiang Shangyan looked at the gradually rising snowdrift in front of him, a long slope was forming in front of him, more snow balls were pushed up, and then fell from the fracture, constantly narrowing the gap with the city wall, looking up at the peaks on both sides, those refugees on the mountain should have been killed by the masters of the army at this moment, but next, they are bound to fight with these refugees with sticks in their hands.

This damn snow! Jiang Shangyan scolded angrily in his heart, he was a southerner, he really didn't expect that snow could be used like this. (To be continued.) )
