The cavalry was solemnly arrayed, the military discipline was strict, and there was no noise in the entire military formation, Pei Ziyun watched on horseback, and several captains guarded him.

"I haven't fought for a long time, my hands are itchy, I originally heard that King Lu's army is full of heroes, and I don't want to meet all of them. The middle-aged lieutenant looked at the county soldiers on the wall, laughed and mocked, this kind of county town, the soldiers are only seven or eight hundred at best, and most of them can't fight, and their own three thousand troops can be killed in one shot.

The partial general is a middle-aged man of forty-five or sixteen years old, who has been a general for a long time, with a cold coldness, at this time, his eyes are looking into the distance, his hand is pressed on the hilt of the cold sword, thoughtfully, he stepped forward to Pei Ziyun's side, and whispered: "Zhenjun, there has been no movement in the city for a long time, and it is necessary to fight with us." ”

Pei Ziyun looked at the city and was about to speak, but a person in the county raised his bow, took an arrow, and the arrow was tied with a strip of cloth, glanced at the direction, saw the main general, and raised his hand to shoot it.

The "poof" arrow shot very quickly, and it fell a hundred meters away from Pei Ziyun, and was planted on the ground, and immediately a cavalry horse stepped forward and picked up the arrow and presented it.

Pei Ziyun took a look, stared at it, didn't make a sound, and handed it to the deputy general, who took it, and the muscles on his face twitched.

The content of the letter does not give food and pigs, and there are many insults in the content, which has the meaning of living and dying with the city.

"How dare these thieves?" the deputy general was furious, he knew what the true monarch meant, don't look at the inconspicuous grain of a hundred stones, a slightly larger household can take it, but it can also solve the grain and grass of the cavalry, and there is no need to mobilize the army to transport it in the enemy area, and more importantly, it will hit the morale of the county.

When they all heard the wind and offered food and pigs, how could they still have the heart to fight or serve King Lu?

The middle-aged lieutenant who spoke also took it, his face resentful: "Zhenjun, I am willing to ask for my life, please let me go up, break the city, and let them know that it is powerful." ”

"Zhenjun, I would like to ask for my life and break the thief city. ”

"Zhenjun, give the order, let's break the county. ”

The captains shouted one after another, there are only a few hundred soldiers in this county, and the headquarters can be taken in one rush, of course, they want to get the first credit.

Listening to the voices of these captains, Pei Ziyun's eyes swept over, these cavalry were all called, without passing through the Luwang demon soldiers, and several cities had offered food and pigs before, and they had already raised enough sharpness.

Seeing the general and captain begging for battle, the eunuch who accompanied the army looked at the Taoist official, pulled the reins, took small steps to Pei Ziyun's side, and whispered: "Zhenjun, what should we do now? If the county town doesn't give it, will we fight or not?"

Pei Ziyun looked at the soldiers with full spirit, and smiled: "Fight, why don't you fight?" King Lu is powerful, and the court can't protect it for a while, I pity the county and have to surrender it, so I only ask for food, not break the city, this is also a heart of love, I don't want this county to be mad, I dare to resist the court and the heavenly soldiers, this is a capital crime." ”

Pei Ziyun stared at the county seat, showing a sneer, seeing that the eunuch looked dazed, knowing that he still didn't understand, he explained in a low voice: "Although King Lu is called the emperor and officially independent, but if the puppet dynasty is to be consolidated, it still needs a peaceful environment and time. ”

"The grain asked for 100 stones, 10 pigs, not much, even ordinary large households, but not only to meet the cavalry for three days of food, but also to hit the morale and cohesion of the county. ”

"We have succeeded in the three counties, which has made the counties frightened, which is not good for the puppet dynasty, and now Lu Wang Xian has reacted, and he wants to cut off our plunder, and he has to deal with us. ”

"However, the use of soldiers is not benevolent, the merciful will not general, now the county dares not to give food, just break it, and then in the name of the thief, kill all the rebels, and raid all the big households, not one of them will be left, hanging their heads on the wall, let them know the pain, know the fear, and then they will really wake up. ”

Where did the eunuchs with the army go through a kind of battle, listening to what Pei Ziyun said, his body trembled for a while, trembled, his face couldn't bear it, and said: "It's just enough to kill these rebel officials, even the big families in the city have to be killed, these are all people, isn't it too cruel?"

Pei Ziyun listened to his father-in-law's words and smiled: "What is this killing?"

"This is a necessary killing, only in this way will they fear us, so that even if King Lu has a strict order, we can claim the county later, who will refuse for this little food? ”

"And even if the county order is too shou to refuse, what about the big officials?"

"If you ask for too much, or you have to break the net, but you can only have a hundred stones, who will risk the danger of destroying the family to fight against it? If you fight all this, you will send the whole family to die. ”

The words were decisive, the eunuch wanted to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say anything, now that the two armies are fighting, they can only choose the most effective and direct means, and their identity is only a record, and they have no right to interfere with Pei Ziyun's command at all, so they were silent for a moment.

The eunuch just looked at the county seat, and the officials in the city could vaguely be seen supervising the battle, and sighed in a low voice: "Yes, it's all for the court, for the peace." ”

Pei Ziyun also looked up at the increasingly dark sky, let out a long breath, and said, "Sha Binglie." ”

"The last general!" the lieutenant stepped forward.

"Command, take the city, slew all the officials and the great families, and take all the silver and gold. ”

"Yes" Sha Binglie led the lieutenants to answer the order, and after a while, in the sound of war drums, an array was formed, neat and orderly, formed into a square team, and killed in an orderly manner.

"Break through the county seat and kill all the thieves!"

Although he was a cavalryman, he could also climb the wall to fight, Sha Binglie rode forward and ordered loudly: "Put on the bow and crossbow and suppress the defenders of the city." ”

The cavalry immediately understood the intention, drew the bow and crossbow, took out the arrow from the quiver bag, bent the bow and pulled it full, Sha Binglie just shouted: "Shoot"

With the order, only to hear the puff sound, dense arrows shot out, turning into a rain of arrows and falling.

The faces of the defenders of the city changed greatly.

"Shields, shields. One person ordered, the rain of arrows fell, and the county commander was already on guard, and someone immediately raised a shield to protect the county commander and the envoy.

One shouted: "Quick, quick, hide." ”

Several county soldiers couldn't dodge, and there was no shield, the arrow rain fell, and suddenly there was a terrible scream, only to see more than a dozen people fall to the ground, the flesh and blood on their bodies were blurred, rolling on the ground and screaming loudly, and some people were pierced with a cold heart, and even screamed anymore.

"Marksman parade shooting. Sha Binglie ordered, these people's bows and arrows were vicious, shooting extremely accurately, although the number was small, but once shot, it was either the face or the neck, in the blink of an eye, there were more than 20 casualties in the city, and the frightened people were all evading.

"Siege. Seeing that Sha Binglie was suppressed, he ordered, and a group of people jumped down immediately, and some people rushed over the ladder.

"Quick, what are you guys doing, shoot back, quick, shoot back, shoot them. ”

The envoy looked at the siege, his eyes were red, how could these cavalry be so powerful, and he could shoot to the wall to suppress it.

When a county soldier listened, he drew his bow and was about to reflex, and a bow and arrow flew up below in an instant, with a "poof", pierced into his left eye, passed through the back of his head, and splattered blood and brain.

"How is that possible?" the prefectural order was still pinning his hopes on the city wall, but he didn't expect to be suppressed so quickly, his face was pale and frightened.

However, there were still people who knew how to do it, and ordered again and again, and the county soldiers bent down to lift the hanging households on the city wall to the battlements, and shouted to people to put the soaked quilts on top, and finally restrained some marksmen, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to the sound of war drums even higher, and someone had already climbed up the ladder.

"Golden juice, pour!"

Immediately, two county soldiers lifted the cauldron and poured it, pouring boiling dung juice, and the screams rang out, and in just an instant, six or seven cavalrymen were seriously injured and fell, and some fell down with heavy stones, and they fell down one after another for a while.

How could the eunuch below see such a miserable appearance, and couldn't help clenching his fists and looking at Pei Ziyun, Pei Ziyun just looked at it lightly, his face was expressionless, and then a captain said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, this is a common thing in siege, and in the county, there are not many reserves for this." ”

As he spoke, he saw that a total of four pots of gold juice were poured, and there were no more, and even the stones were greatly reduced, and the morale of the besieging soldiers was suddenly greatly boosted, and then more than thirty climbed up the ladder.

At this moment, the spear was stabbed, and the cavalry, even if they were wearing armor, fell from the ladder with a scream, and the end was a tragic killing.

"There were many casualties. Sha Binglie looked at the city, his face was gloomy, and he kept urging the array to kill in waves, and time passed little by little, the sky was raining lightly, and with the battle, the walls were constantly mixed with blood flowing, dyeing the moat red.

"Kill, kill, kill!" But the city wall of the county town is low, and the county soldiers are less than 1,000, which is an objective matter, and there are more than 200 casualties, and the county is obviously out of support.

"Zhenjun, it's noon now, and according to the battle situation, we should be able to have lunch in the county seat. Even the eunuch could see the battle situation, and couldn't help but say with joy.

Pei Ziyun glanced at it and smiled: "It seems that it should be possible." ”

"It's still the true monarch who has arranged it. "The eunuch complimented, the battle was won, and the eunuch with the army could also get some credit.

only listened to the sound of killing and shouted to the sky, and suddenly a military commander killed the city, cut down the surrounding county soldiers, and tore the gap.

"Kill, kill, kill them all. A lieutenant looked at the situation, jumped off his horse, landed on the ground, and rushed forward.

"Poof" Wu Chang cut down a county soldier who rushed up with a knife, the neck of the county soldier was cut, blood flowed, and more cavalry climbed along the ladder and tore the battle line.

"The city is broken. Looking, Pei Ziyun said, if there was not much time, the city gate was opened, and the cavalry galloped directly inside, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

And Pei Ziyun and the other generals still did not move, until two moments later, the killing sound inside gradually stopped, and a school captain reported: "Zhenjun, the city has been cleared, and the county order has been lowered." ”

"Let's take a look. Pei Ziyun pointed a little at the city with a whip, and the eunuch listened to it, so he smiled: "Everything is up to the true monarch to arrange." ”

"Driving" Pei Ziyun to move forward, the county seat is actually not big, at the gate of the county office, I saw the county order with a group of officials lying on the ground, saying: "I have descended, and please spare my life." ”

The county commander prostrated on the ground, his body trembling.

"What about your envoy? He wrote back to me just now, and the handwriting is good, and I would like to see him. Pei Ziyun looked down and smiled.

Hearing this, the county commander shook his body and explained with a crying voice: "Just now, just now, it suddenly disappeared." ”

"Oh, escaped. Pei Ziyun sneered: "That's the case, but you are not only a thief, but also resisted the heavenly soldiers, and now you want to surrender, but it's too late, come and behead the public immediately." ”

As soon as he said that, the county commander who was kneeling on the ground changed his face greatly, and he was scared when he went to the water: "The true monarch spares his life, the true monarch spares his life." ”

The county commander still wanted to shout, but crawled forward, and a cavalryman stepped forward and swung his sword, only to hear a scream, and the county commander's head flew away, fell to the ground and rolled, and there was no more sound.

"Kill!" More than a dozen cavalry rushed forward, slashing the remaining officials with random knives, and more than ten heads fell to the ground, Pei Ziyun snorted coldly: "This is your confidence to fight against me? ”
