Chapter 10025 Eat a hot meal after killing the enemy

Ping'an County

Not peace

Song Zi, the county guard of Ping'an County, regretted that he was an official who won the hearts of the people, and even if the northwest was chaotic, there was no large-scale death and large-scale flight in Ping'an County. From the beginning of the chaos on the Shandong Road, Song Ziregret decisively withheld the taxes and grain that should be paid to the imperial court, and then borrowed money and grain from the famous families in Ping'an County in his personal name, and formed a group of people who have always maintained about 5,000 people, plus the county soldiers, Ping'an County has 8,000 soldiers who can fight.

It was with these 8,000 heroes that the peace of one party was kept. Whether it was the rogues who came from the north, or the defeated soldiers who fled in defeat, they failed to disturb this side of the water and soil. Even when Yin Poshan, one of Li Yuanshan's subordinate tiger generals, passed by with men and horses, because of the decisive morale of these 8,000 dead soldiers, Yin Poshan did not dare to be too presumptuous.

These 8,000 people were personally trained by Song Ziregret.

Although he was a man of letters, he was free to read military books. Song regretted that since he was a child, he felt that it was too limited for literati to worship only the court, and for martial artists to worship only the military. Literati are light on military force, and military generals don't look down on literati. The country can be governed without both literati and military generals, so if you can cultivate both civil and military, you can achieve great success in the future.

However, his family background is average, when Emperor Zhenzong was in power, he was the seventh in the palace test, and he has been in the position of county guard in Ping'an County for many years. First, his family can't give him much support, and secondly, he is not the kind of person who drills camps, so it is extremely difficult to go to the next level.

In fact, the power of the officials who are doing the four grades in the local area is not small.

Although Song regretted that although he didn't like to meet Yingba, he was not a dead man, otherwise the annual assessment of officials and officials in the Great Sui Taiping would not have been easy. Every year, when the officials of the Ministry come down, Song Ziregret that the silver he sent is neither too much nor too little, at least he has to be middle-class.

A few years ago, a large number of rogues came from the north, and Song regretted that the 8,000 people played a role. In fact, the rogues are refugees, and when the refugees pick up the murder weapon and start smashing and looting, they become the rogues. The largest group of rogues was no less than 100,000 people, led by a man named Wang Laizi to sack Ping'an County, the richest county in Shanjiang Province.

Song regretted that he personally led 8,000 people into battle, fought in the wilderness, killed 17,000 enemies in a battle, captured more than 20,000 people, and the rest fled. Song regretted that despite the squire's opposition, he cut off the heads of more than 20,000 captives in one go. Since then, no rogues have dared to come to Ping'an County.

And Song Ziregret also got a nickname because of this, called Song beheaded.

"I can lead you to defeat the Liukou, and even block the army of Yin Poshan. But this time...... I'm afraid it's more auspicious and less. If the rogues come, we can kill them and defeat them outside of Ping'an County. This time it is hundreds of thousands of Mengyuan wolf riders, the only thing I can do is to take you to try your best to protect the fathers and elders in the city, and you can protect it day by day. ”

Song Ziregret stood on the city wall, looking at the endless black pressure of the Mengyuan battalion outside, and sighed a long sigh.

Minyong said solemnly: "My lord, the people in the city know that Lord Lu Dao loves the people like sons, and they are all willing to live and die with adults. We brothers have been following adults for six or seven years, and we have fought dozens of battles, big and small, and we have never lost. We still won't lose this time...... Even if the city is ruined, we are not losing. ”

Song Zi, who was a little disappointed, was aroused by this sentence, and he raised his head sharply and said, "That's good!" Even if our city is destroyed, it won't be lost! ”

He looked back at the people who were holding their weapons tightly, and the men were also looking at him.

"I know that you still hope that I can lead you to victory. As in the past, defeat the enemies who dare to come to our Ping'an County, and come back to hug your father and fellow villagers with a song of triumph. But this time I can't promise you victory, I can only tell you that I will always stand with you. ”

"I am willing to fight side by side with my lords!"

A citizen raised his arms and shouted: "Don't worry, even if we die, we will die in front of the fathers and villagers in the city." As long as we are there for a day, no enemy will be allowed to harm our families! ”

"Yes!"

Zheng ruthlessly said loudly: "The gentlemen of Ping'an County have never been afraid of the enemy's strength. Because we have blood and ambition, if we are destined to die this time, then we must also die standing instead of kneeling! What's more, this time we are facing the Meng Yuan wolf ride, and they will not give you a chance to live on your knees. ”

"Only fight to the death!"

Song regretted and said: "Show my courage as a safe man!" ”

Woo

The horn of the wolf cavalry attack sounded outside the city, and Song Ziregret turned to look outside: "Let those Mengyuan Tartars see how our men of Ping'an County fight." ”

He strode not far away and beat the drums of war himself.

The sound of the drums thundered like thunder, and it actually suppressed the sound of the trumpets outside the city.

The streets and alleys of the city were full of people, who came out of their homes one after another, and they looked up at the place where the war drums were beating. Young and old, men and women, they all looked quietly over there, there was no fear in their eyes, only a kind of determination that had appeared in their eyes many times.

This is not the first time that Ping'an County has faced danger, and the people have become accustomed to bravery.

"Lord Song said that we might all die this time."

A young woman with a baby in her arms said.

"it!"

Her husband is a well-known ruthless man in the city, and no one dares to provoke him easily on weekdays. Only he bullies, no one has ever bullied him.

"Don't be afraid!"

The bearded man turned around and went back, took out the boning knife he used to sell meat from the house and pinned it to his belt: "Isn't it Mengyuan, can it be bigger than Lao Tzu's?!" How many fleshly men in this city are there to go to the city with Lao Tzu, Lord Song is just a weak scholar and dares to fight to the death, can you and I only watch the people who have protected us countless times to fight hard? It's all a cock-two-egged man, who's fucking afraid of whom? ”

He strode towards the city wall, and there were many young men in the crowd coming out.

"Wait a minute"

His wife stopped him from behind, walked over and handed him the child: "Hold the child again." ”

Tears flowed down her eyes, but she didn't say she wouldn't let you go. Because she knows what kind of man her husband is, no matter how fierce he is on weekdays, he is also a man who dares to act!

The beard was slightly stunned, and then he picked up the child and raised it above his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "My son! If you survive, don't forget that your father is a good man. When you talk to someone about your father in the future, you should keep his mother up and say! ”

……

……

on the city walls

The archer's fingers were already numb with pain, and every time he stretched his arm wide and full of the bow was torture, but no one stopped. Beneath the city was a dense crowd of enemies, crying out like wolves to climb up the walls. And they are like hunters, blocking the approach of these beasts that threaten their loved ones.

"Shoot towards the ladder lifter!"

Song regretted that he didn't have the strength to pull the bowstring, but he had inexhaustible courage, and as long as he was still running back and forth on the city wall, the soldiers seemed to have inexhaustible strength. A convincing leader is capable of doing so.

"Don't waste feathered arrows, try to aim at those who are carrying ladders. Don't mess up the formation of the city, the people behind the archers concentrate, and when they see a ladder coming up, they overturn him for me! ”

Song Zi's voice was hoarse, but his voice was still as inspiring as a war drum.

Sou

A cold arrow flew over and shot through the neck of a personal soldier beside Song Ziregret impartially. Blood immediately spurted out, splashing Song Ziregret's face. The slightly hot blood made Song Ziregret's body tremble violently, but he looked at the fallen soldier but did not stop.

"Pull out the feather arrows from his body, and carry them down to be buried after the war!"

He gritted his teeth and shouted, his eyes so red.

A ladder was erected on the city wall in the rain of arrows, and the wolf cavalry that had been piled up under the city immediately roared and climbed up. Song Ziregret rushed over, and together with a Minyong, the two of them held a long hook against the ladder and pushed it out, and more people came over and pushed the ladder out together.

The ladder slowly moved away from the wall, stopping for a moment in the vertical position before speeding down. The wolf cavalry on the ladder wailed, and someone began to jump down, breaking his leg and foot as he landed. The ladder smashed down hard, and it landed in the dense crowd, and I didn't know how many people were killed.

"Don't throw stones down the city!"

Song Ziregret roared hoarsely, the city wall of Ping'an County is not particularly high, although the stones thrown under the city can kill and injure the enemy, but it may also become a stepping stone for the enemy to climb up. Once the enemy gathers the stones under the city, they may be able to pile up a high slope.

"With boiling oil!"

He shouted and ran: "If the oil is gone, use boiling water!" ”

Behind him, two men carried a large iron pot to the edge of the city wall, and when they reached the edge of the city wall, the two of them lifted the iron pot together to splash the boiling water inside. But when he was raised, three feathered arrows were shot at one of them, and the man screamed in pain, and his hand instantly lost strength, and the iron pot fell down at once, and the boiling water was almost splashed on himself.

What kind of pain is that?

He kept rolling on the ground in pain, and every time he rolled, a layer of skin would be rubbed off by the city bricks.

"Lao Tzu is going to die......"

He gritted his teeth and stood up, his companions trying to help him but not daring to touch him. He glanced back at the city, smiled sadly, and then suddenly jumped off the city wall, and with a thud, knocked down three or four wolf cavalrymen. The wolf cavalry below saw someone falling, regardless of whether it was a living person or a dead person, rushed up and kept chopping with a scimitar, even the wolf cavalry pressed under the man's body was not spared, and it didn't take long to turn into a puddle of flesh.

"Put it on the nail shoot!"

Song regretted holding a shield to block himself, then looked down at the city, and immediately ordered after finding that there were many wolf cavalry gathered under the base of the city. The warriors immediately let go of the ropes, and the heavy nails fell with a whistling down, killing the wolf riders under the base of the city walls. A wolf tooth nail more than a foot long can easily pierce a person's skull under the action of gravity and inertia.

"Pull!"

Min Yong Don't Tell Zheng Lu and the soldiers worked hard to pull up the nail racket, and there was a corpse of a wolf cavalry hanging on the nail racket, which hung there and swayed as the nail beat up.

A horn sounded in the distance, and the wolf horseman, who had been storming the city for more than an hour and had not been able to get into the city, began to slowly retreat. Behind them, a neat convoy of 10,000 people drove this way. Judging by their outfits, they don't seem to be the same as those wolf riders, and their formation is extremely tight.

Song regretted taking the rare opportunity to catch his breath for a while, and then looked around at the casualties.

He looked into the city, where there was his family and his fathers and fellow villagers. Perhaps his wife was standing somewhere looking at this side at this time, and there were other people's wives waiting for their husbands to return. Song regretted that he was a little bitter in his heart, and the appearance of his wife and children involuntarily appeared in his mind.

He suddenly wanted to go home.

It was then that he saw smoke rising from the city. One by one, one by one, so soft, so kind.

The people of the city were cooking, cooking for the warriors on the walls.

"Prepare to fight!"

Song regretted picking up a horizontal knife from the ground and stood up straight: "Kill the enemy, eat a bite of hot rice!" ”
