“…… Convey the order of my Changsha army commander, Kunyang quickly open the door and surrender, if it is stubborn, slaughter the city for two days after breaking the city, in order to set an example! ”

Outside Kunyang City, a small group of rebel soldiers came to the city and shouted towards the southern city wall.

However, he was answered by a series of arrows, which frightened the small group of rebel soldiers into turning and fleeing.

"Haha!"

Looking at the team of rebel soldiers who fled in a hurry, Liu Tu and a nearby Nanyang soldier laughed, and even Sun Xiu, a partial general of the Nanyang army, had a slight sneer and contempt for the rebels on his face.

Only Zhao Yu's face was gloomy - although he was wearing a mask, others could not see his complexion.

Exhaling slightly, he shook his head and said, "The Changsha Army prides itself on being a righteous teacher, but I didn't expect to make a threat like 'slaughtering the city'?" ”

"It's just a flaunt of benevolence." Sun Xiu sneered, and said with a little disdain: "Although I have not dealt with this rebel army under the banner of Changsha before, I am familiar with the rebels in Jingchu, and they are both rebels, so I think they are about the same...... The Jingchu rebels, who seem to have a benevolent and righteous face, often instigate and instigate the people of Nanyang to rebel against our Nanyang army, but by the time our Nanyang army went to suppress the rebellion, the thieves of Jingchu had already fled, leaving only a group of confused ghosts who were instigated......"

Speaking of this, he closed his voice and did not continue to talk about the fate of those 'foolish ghosts', and Zhao Yu did not ask any more questions, after all, with Wang Shangde's character, those collaborators will obviously not end well.

He raised his eyes to the distance outside the city, looked at the army outside the city with the banner of 'Changsha Qushuai Pass', saw that they were arranging troops, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Guan Shuo is ready to go into battle in person today...... Heh, a few days ago, we attacked and killed Xu Bao, and harassed him many times to build a camp, no wonder he was holding back the fire in his heart......"

As he spoke, he turned his head and ordered: "Send people to the east and west walls to remind them, I am afraid that today will also be a fierce battle." ”

"Yes!" Liu Tu hugged his fists and turned to leave, leaving only Zhao Yu, Jingnu, Niu Heng, Chen Mo, and Sun Xiu standing behind the battlements, looking coldly at the rebels outside the city.

Not long after, the two black tiger thieves sent by Liu Tu came to the east city wall, only to see one of them inform Wang Qinghou, the defender of the east city wall, of the 'slaughter announcement' of the small group of rebel soldiers just now, and conveyed Zhao Yu's order: "The big leader has an order to make the east and west city walls more vigilant, and the big leader thinks that today will be a fierce battle." ”

"Hey."

Wang Qing pursed his lips and said, "It's like a vicious battle, that little ......."

At this point, his voice stopped abruptly.

After a pause, he said seemingly nonchalantly, "Okay, you go back to the big leader, and just say I know." ”

The two black tiger thieves looked at each other.

They heard that the left commander in front of them seemed to be dissatisfied with the big leader, but they didn't dare to ask, so they honestly clenched their fists and left.

Is Wang Qing dissatisfied with Zhao Yu?

In fact, there really is, as for the reason, it is nothing more than Shi Yuan and Chen Gui, who are also on the city wall at the moment......

"Ishihara! Ishihara! ”

As soon as the two black tiger thieves left, Wang Qing immediately called out.

In the distance, Shi Yuan and Chen Gui heard Wang Qing's call.

"Here it is again, you be careful......" Chen Gui said to Ishihara in a low voice.

"It's fine."

Ishihara comforted his companion, walked quickly to Wang Qing, and immediately hugged his fists at Wang Qing, who was standing against the city wall with his hands folded, and calmly called, "Commander Wang Zuo." ”

“……”

Wang Qing looked up and down at Shi Yuan a few times with a strange expression, and said with a sneer: "The southern section of the city wall, I will hand it over to you, if there is anything wrong......

He straightened up, approached Ishihara, patted the latter's chest with his right backhand, and said in a low voice, "...... I'll kill you, you know? ”

"Understood." Looking at Wang Qing's fierce appearance with a fierce light in his eyes, Ishihara still looked calm.

After a while, Ishihara returned to his companion Chen Gui, who hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

"What can he do? …… It's just that the fierce god viciously ordered me to guard the southern section of the city wall. ”

Ishihara snorted coldly.

In the past few days, Wang Qing has been making trouble for him, and the reason is nothing more than that he robbed the credit of 'killing Xu Bao' that day, and because of this, he was reused by Zhou Hu, the leader of the black tiger thieves.

Zhou Hu was very trustworthy, and after asking him to talk to Chen Gui that day, he discussed it with the county magistrate Liu Bi, the county magistrate Li Xu, and the county lieutenant Ma Gai on the same day - although in Ishihara's view, this so-called discussion was nothing more than Zhou Hu unilaterally informing the three of them.

All in all, with the support of Zhou Hu, his county army also made some adjustments in its establishment, following the example of the army and appointing the positions of Wu Chief, Shi Chang, Bo Chang, Qu Hou, Jun Hou and so on.

And Ishihara and Chen Gui were promoted by Zhou Hu to military marquis and qu marquis respectively, and the popular saying is that a thousand generals and five hundred generals - slightly different from the rebel generals on the side of the rebels.

In this way, Ishihara commanded more than 1,000 county soldiers on the city wall, which can be regarded as justifiable.

Otherwise, as before, a catcher leader leads nearly a thousand county guards, and it is very chaotic both in terms of establishment and actual command.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Hu acquiesced to the county army's 'merit system', that is, the county army can also be like the black tiger thief, by killing the rebels to get merit points, and these merit points can be used as a basis for promotion, but also as a money envoy - Zhou Hu promised that the county government would provide the corresponding 'merit ticket' in the future.

This change can be said to have greatly boosted the morale of the county army, and also made Ishihara get many supporters in the county army, the only regret is that he offended Wang Qing of the black tiger thief during this period, and this guy found fault with him all day long.

However, Ishihara was not afraid, after all, Wang Qing was at best the left commander of the Black Tiger Thief, the deputy general of the brigade camp, and Chen Mo's deputy, and Guo Da above him, and Zhou Hu above Guo Da.

And Zhou Hu has a lot of good feelings for him Shi Yuan...... 88

"Wait, how can I be complacent about Zhou Hu's support?"

After being stunned for a moment, Ishihara hurriedly threw the thoughts in his heart behind him.

I have to say that since he talked with that Zhou Hu, he felt a little 'fluttering' in his heart, because he never expected that Zhou Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger Thief, would regard him as a 'nobleman', and even deliberately wanted to win him over as his own.

Although reason told him that he shouldn't get too close to Zhou Hu's group, Ishihara was still a little ...... Difficult to yourself.

What's more, Zhou Hu's support is indeed the main reason why he is not afraid of being found fault by Wang Qing now.

"Yo, was Wang Qing found fault again?"

Suddenly, a chuckle came from behind Shi Yuan's body, and he turned his head to look, only to find that it was Xu Bai and Wang Ping.

"Be quiet." Chen Gui hurriedly dissuaded: "That Wang Zuo commander has been very angry in recent days. ”

"Ha, who told you to rob the man he was going to kill? Everyone in the village knows that it doesn't matter what the left commander is, just don't rob the person he wants to kill, but you just bump into it......"

Xu Bai didn't care about making a joke about Wang Qing, after all, he and Wang Ping belonged to Liu Tu's faction, and Liu Tu was Chen Mo's henchman, so it was quite special in the Black Tiger Village, even if Wang Qing learned that Xu Bai was joking with him, he would not embarrass them.

After joking, Xu Bai said to Ishihara with a smile: "Then again, when did you make up the happy money I hired with the king when I became a military marquis?" ”

Ishihara spread his hands and said: "I don't have a penny at the moment, let's wait for the county government to issue a meritorious ticket." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Bai and Wang Ping meaningfully.

A while ago, watching the two friends in the Black Tiger Village flourish, but he was still just a head catcher, although there was no jealousy, it was inevitable that he was a little anxious, but now, he has become a military marquis, surpassing the two old companions, and his mentality is really much better.

However, when he thought that this was due to Zhou Hu's 'care' for him, he was still a little awkward after all, and he didn't know if he was considered a 'black tiger thief', but fortunately, his respected county lieutenant Ma had not said anything about this matter, and even said something to encourage him.

This made Ishihara rejoice.

"Woo-woo-woo-"

"Woo-"

Among the rebels outside the city, a trumpet sounded, and then the drums sounded.

For a while, not to mention the momentum of the rebels outside the city, the atmosphere on the city wall also became solemn, Xu Bai hurried up and made the last joke with Shi Yuan and Chen Gui: "Kill a few more rebels, we are waiting to receive your happy money." ”

With that, he smiled at Wang Ping and returned to his garrison area.

Looking at the backs of Xu Bai and Wang Ping leaving, Chen Gui frowned and said, "These two guys, how do you feel that you have become stingy after marriage......

"Huh."

Ishihara chuckled and immediately looked at the rebels outside the city.

Although subjectively he didn't want to admit it, since he had received Zhou Hu's promise, he naturally would no longer envy Xu Bai and Wang Ping......

Wait, if he still has any envy at the moment, it is probably that Xu Bai and Wang Ping are already married......

Well, Black Tiger Village arranges marriages for the villagers, and his mother is too enviable!

“…… Standing at thirty, it is indeed time to save some money. ”

Looking at the rebels below the city, he muttered.

"What did you say?"

Chen Gui turned his head in confusion, as if he didn't hear clearly.

I said...... Kill a few more traitors. ”

"Huh? Are you really going to give? …… Those two bastards don't have a wedding drink, and they're too embarrassed to ask for money? ”

"Huh."

Just as they were chatting casually, an earth-shattering shout of killing suddenly erupted outside the city.

"Wow——!"

I don't know what encouraging words the rebel general on the other side said, and thousands of rebels poured into the city wall like a tide.

Seeing this, Ishihara immediately threw away any distractions in his heart, waved his hand with a serious expression and ordered: "The county army in the city obeys the order and prepares to meet the enemy!" ”

"Bang-"

"Bang bang!"

Between the arrows of both sides, hundreds of long ladders were erected on the outer wall of the city wall, and in an instant, countless rebel soldiers climbed the long ladder like ant colonies towards the city wall.

At the same time, on both sides of the southern and western walls, the rebels on both sides also launched an offensive at the same time.

A fierce battle began.
