There is quite a strong independence between the various battalions of the rebel army, and Guo Rupan can squeeze out Pan Si, but it is not so easy to mix sand into Pan Si's battalion. It is because Pan Si is speaking now, but he doesn't need to be too careful. He was known for his prestige in the camp, and at this speech, several indignant generals next to him immediately quieted down.

"Lao Ai, you take someone first and try it. Take our guys. Rush forward first, it is best to break it directly, didn't the person surnamed Guo say that he was rewarded, you can tell everyone again. ”

"Yes!"

This old Ai is the one who complained just now, his name is Ai Daqing, and he has a mixed name, called the blue-faced ghost. Guy got this nickname because he was ugly and vicious, and he had a cyan birthmark on his face.

Pan Si asked him to take the lead, but it was not that he didn't take care of him, in fact, this was the great care for him, which could be seen from the envious expressions on the faces of the generals next to him. Like Guo Rupan, they didn't take the small city in front of them to heart, thinking that they could fight it with one fight, and they all wanted to grab this credit.

Pan Si's battalion also required more than 100 cavalry, and as his own army, he took these cavalry to the west, and opened a certain distance from the other two battalions to vacate a piece of ground. Then Ai Daqing began to take his subordinates and pulled them out to the front of the formation.

As a trusted garrison under Pan Si, Ai Daqing has three banners under his command and more than 1,000 people. He beckoned all these people over, but he was not in a hurry, but let the flag guard under him take the foot soldiers in front, and he led a dozen or so cavalry under his command to press the formation behind and slowly advance forward. They have a lot of engineering experience, and they know when it is suitable to charge, and if they start to charge from a long distance, they should be tired and have no strength when they reach the city wall.

Pan Si stared behind him, but he was a little anxious in his heart, and he didn't know how he had done the errand now when he sent him into the city.

Looking at the slowly approaching army, Liu Ruozai's face was solemn, and he suddenly turned back to Zhang Cheng and said: "When you start a battle, the sword and gun have no eyes, in case there are arrows flying and hurting the adults, Chengcheng County will have no backbone, and please move to the city tower and sit safely." ”

These words seem a little weird to say. Originally, this should have been said by Zhang Cheng, a land guard, to Liu Ruozai, an official with a higher grade than him, and he was also a civil official, why did Zhang Cheng need to hide in the city tower, but Liu Ruozai didn't?

But when I said it, no one felt that it was inappropriate. Liu Ruozai's meaning, everyone understands, it is nothing more than afraid that Zhang Cheng will do something bad in the city, so let him honestly hide aside. Zhang Cheng can probably guess some, but Liu Ruozai's official position is there, and the steps laid for him are so good, if he doesn't agree, he just doesn't know how to lift it. Of course, the more important reason is that Zhang Cheng himself is also scared here, he doesn't want to be embarrassed, and hiding in the city tower is a good choice.

Zhang Chenggong left, and Liu Ruozai began to take over the defense in the name of justifiably. He did not personally command, but handed over the command to Zhu Dong, who was responsible for scheduling and monitoring.

Zhu Dong had already arranged it, and the soldiers were all in place, just waiting for the fight.

Advancing to a place where there were still a hundred zhang from the city wall, Ai Daqing finally stopped. He began to agitate loudly, and then pointed to the city wall of Chengcheng County, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, knock down this city for Lao Tzu!" ”

"Kill!"

The army let out a frantic roar, and rushed towards the south gate of Chengcheng County, which was already very close.

That's right, it's a swarm, and that's how the army fights. A swarm of bees charges, when a strong blow is swarmed back, when a devastating blow is a swarm of collapse and escape. The real elite of the army are the cavalry in the hands of the generals, and these foot soldiers are just cannon fodder.

Among them, the armor-wearing ones seem to be all at the officer level, and among the ordinary soldiers, they are only afraid that there is no one in a hundred, they are all wearing simple and shabby clothes, and the weapons in their hands are also disorganized. Some have waist knives, some have spears, but basically they can do one by one.

They also have siege equipment, both ladders and crashing logs, but there are only four or five ladders, and they are the kind of simple ladders that have no hooks on the top and can only lean on the city wall, while there is only one crashing wood.

Dong Ce sneered at the corner of his mouth, he wanted to bring down the city with such a few people alone, and he was a little too contemptuous.

Zhu Dong's calm voice sounded: "Bow up, get ready to shoot!" ”

The junior officer below emphasized it again.

"Yes!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, and the bows in their hands had been pulled apart a little. They stood at the edge of the battlements of the wall, their eyes fixed on the approaching intruders.

Although Zhu Dong was reprimanded by Zhang Cheng, Liu Ruozai would not not give the soldiers a full meal when the war was coming, and this morning, Zhu Dong's headquarters guarding the south gate still had good food. Although there is no meat, the big ones are gruel and pickles, and the big white steamed buns are eaten casually, and the soldiers eat one by one.

They didn't change their clothes, but the weapons in their hands were a little old and worn, Liu Ruozai changed them all, and each of them was given a bow and a hundred arrows.

They still seem to be in good spirits, and most importantly, they show the calmness, calmness, and even eagerness they showed before the big war. At this point, they were stronger than Huang Wan's family, and the fifty people who were transferred under Tian Shi obviously looked quite nervous and anxious.

The army had already rushed to the city wall thirty zhang away, and Zhu Dong's right hand was raised high: "Zhang Gong!" ”

"Yes."

The soldiers drew their bows one after another, and aimed at the intruders below.

It's near, it's twenty feet. A big man wearing armor is holding a big knife and rushing to the front, and he can wear armor, which means that his official position will not be too low. He was running away, shaking, Dong Ce couldn't see his face clearly, but it was conceivable that that face must be a mixture of excitement and hideousness now.

Guo Rupan sat on his horse steadily, staring at the south gate without turning his eyes, where the city was still quiet, but Guo Rupan could imagine that it would not take long for the defenders there to collapse and flee. Even, they have escaped now? Is it just a bluff with flags on the city? They did not besiege the city, but set aside three gates in the north and east, and it was easy for them to escape.

At this time, Pan Si felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't tell why, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Dong Ce was thinking about how he should arrange it if he was Zhu Dong.

His thoughts were interrupted by Zhu Dong's loud shout.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows......" The shouts of the junior officers below rang out.

Then, the sound of bowstrings vibrating resounded through the city, and hundreds of bows were fired together, flying like a rain of arrows, enveloping the city. There is no need to even aim, because the formation of the intrusive army is too dense, so many people rush up in a swarm, as long as they shoot down, it is not easy to miss.

The range of the Ming army's bow was not close, and it was on the city wall, taking advantage of the condescending, so the range was even farther.

Hundreds of arrows, inflicting considerable damage on the invading army.

Dong Ce saw it clearly, the big man who rushed to the front was shot with a full seven or eight arrows, with his iron armor's defensive power, maybe one or two arrows were nothing, but now these seven or eight arrows were unbearable, especially one arrow, which was fiercely nailed into the weak neck from the diagonal top, causing him fatal injuries. The big man's body shook, and he fell to the ground heavily. And those who followed him, there were also a lot of arrows, not to mention iron armor, not even cotton armor or leather armor, but a thin cloth coat, which could not resist the sharp arrows at all, as long as they were shot, they would either die or be injured. From this, you can see how big the difference is between having a piece of armor and not having it.
