Chapter Seventy-Six: The Bandits Are Coming
Longo stood on the low rampart, quietly watching the direction the bandits were coming. He fought for many years and won countless battles. Facing the attack of some bandits today, I was inexplicably nervous.
Thinking about what Yang Yun said just now: "Today's battle is under the full command of Guo Long's county order (in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Longgo reversed his name and changed it to Guo Long, and he will be called Guo Long in the future).
Leaving the Chu State to become a slave of the Liuyi people, I thought that my life would pass aimlessly, but I didn't expect that I would stand here today and command such a battle.
Thinking of this, a sense of pride suddenly rose in Guo Long's heart, as if he had returned to the time when he was on the battlefield at the beginning of eighteen or nineteen.
This time he must fight a beautiful victory, Guo Long silently set a goal for himself in his heart.
At this time, Yan Qin came over with another white pigeon and handed Yang Yun a roll of paper that was taken from the white pigeon's feet. Yang Yun didn't even look at it, and handed it directly to Guo Long beside him.
Guo Long opened the piece of paper and looked at it, and it read: There are about 1,000 to 2,000 bandits.
The neighing of horses and shouts came from not far away, and the soldiers in the county town all clenched their swords in their hands.
"Don't panic, although these bandits are powerful, we have a large number of them, and we have the city wall to rely on, and the victory will definitely belong to us." Seeing that some of the young soldiers beside him were a little nervous, Guo Long said loudly.
After a while, a group of people dressed in different clothes and holding swords in their hands appeared in front of everyone, led by a burly man with a beard and a long knife in his hand.
"Your Highness, this person is Zhang Kainiu, it is said that this person used to be a general of Zheng Guo, and I don't know how to fall here to become a coward." It was the county magistrate Guo Long who spoke, and he had already known the appearance of several bandit leaders in the past few days.
"Which one is His Royal Highness King Wu of Fuguo, come out to answer." A young man dressed as a scribe stood at the front of the line and shouted.
"This person's name is Zhang Xiu, and he is a landed talent. Don't look at him as a weak scholar. But there is a bad stomach in the stomach. Guo Long then received it in Yang Yun's ear.
"His Royal Highness King Wu is also something you can talk to? You bandits dare to lead the crowd to besiege the county town today, you are really impatient, and I advise you to withdraw your troops immediately. Today, the county order can open the net and let you go. Guo Long stood on the city wall and said loudly.
"Withdraw the troops, you can! Give you five thousand taels of silver, and we will withdraw our troops at once. Zhang Xiu, who was dressed up below, said loudly.
"If you want silver, there are many in the county, so if you have the ability, come in and get it yourself." Guo Long pointed at the spear in his hand and said loudly.
"Since you don't eat the toast, you have to eat and drink. Then we're welcome. "This time it was Zhang Kainiu who had not spoken.
After saying this, Zhang Kainiu waved the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "There is silver, wine, meat and girls in this county seat of Wu County, kill me in, and Lao Tzu will also make a county order." ”
With a shout from the open cow. A wave of bandits, numbering about 500 people, armed with various weapons, shouted and rushed in the direction of the city gate.
This group of bandits who rushed out first was just about two hundred meters away from the city gate. I heard a sound on the city wall, and in the blink of an eye, countless arrows rained down on the bandits' heads. In the blink of an eye, there was a scream among the bandits.
These bandits were also quite smart, and when they saw this, they hurriedly scattered in all directions, and while dodging, they continued to rush towards the city gate.
In a few moments, the bandits rushed to the city wall, screaming and trying to climb up, and a man with a large sword rushed to the first.
On the city wall, a soldier with a spear stabbed the man in the top of the head. The man dodged the spear in a flash, then jumped high, and a knife was draped over the soldier's arm, and a left arm fell under the city wall.
At the beginning of the battle, there was blood, these recruits and the county soldiers who were messing around, where had they seen such a scene, many of them were frightened and turned white, and they involuntarily retreated again and again.
Seeing this, the sword-wielding man took the opportunity to jump onto the city wall, raised his big knife, and slashed at the head of the soldier guarding the city wall. Take advantage of this opportunity. Behind him were several bandits, who also climbed the city walls.
Liu Yuan was very annoyed when he saw that these recruits were so vulnerable, he picked up the spear in his hand and rushed towards the leading bandit, and the two sides quickly stood together.
Seeing that the county lieutenant had personally started to fight with the enemy, some of his recruits who were not afraid of death, and some newly elected officers, also rushed out and fought with the bandits who climbed the city wall.
At this moment, some more bandits climbed the wall and soon occupied a section of the wall. Rushing towards the soldiers defending the city.
"The situation is a little bad, why don't I bring some guards up and rush for a while?" Qi Wei stood next to Yang Yun and said.
"No, these recruits have to let them see blood, or they'll always be cowards." Before Yang Yun could answer, Guo Long next to him said loudly.
Under the leadership of Liu Yuan, some officers and some brave soldiers, the soldiers defending the city slowly stabilized the situation and blocked the bandits who rushed up. As time went on, there were many casualties on both sides, with stumps and blood all over the walls.
Slowly, these recruits overcame their fears, and more and more of them joined the battle against the bandits.
In this way, the pressure on the bandits is greater. They tend to face two or three soldiers alone, although most of the bandits are outlaws. But in the face of the increasingly courageous soldiers defending the city, they still couldn't hold on.
Zhang Kainiu, who was watching the battle from the rear, obviously noticed this situation as well, and saw him wave his hand. Another wave of bandits came out. This group of bandits was different from the bandits in front of them, they actually went around the front of the city gate and rushed towards the city wall on the right.
Seeing this scene, Guo Long was a little nervous. Because there is a very dilapidated part of the city wall on the right, which has not yet had time to be repaired. Knowing that the bandits were coming, they simply smeared some dirt on it to disguise themselves.
If these bandits attack from here, they will easily enter the county seat. As it turned out, Guo Long's fears were right, and the bandits were indeed coming in the direction of the disguised section of the city wall.
The bandits soon arrived at the section of the camouflaged wall, and the few men who rushed to the front quickly gathered together and pushed hard at the wall. There was a loud bang, and the city wall fell in response.
So there is a gap here. The bandits roared and rushed over the gap and towards the county seat. Fortunately, Guo Long was prepared, he ambushed a thousand soldiers behind the city wall, and soon the two sides were fighting together.
There were more soldiers guarding the walls than the bandits, but they were not these, and the bandits' opponents were defeated in a short time.
Seeing this, Guo Long sighed lightly, prepared to turn around, and asked Yang Yun to send these dozens of personal guards around him to take action, which was the only elite force in the county.
However, before Guo Long could speak, a shout came from behind the soldiers guarding the city: "You unruly boys, you dare to run rampant in grandpa's territory, watch grandpa clean you up!" ”
With this thunderous shout, a burly man with a long hammer in his hand rushed out.
The big man who rushed out was Chimur, who came to Wu County for a few days, due to the limited number of blacksmiths, Chimur'er had great strength. was dragged by the old captain Tieshan to build weapons, at first he thought it was very interesting, but as he did it, he felt bored.
Hearing that the bandits had attacked the county seat, Chimur was overjoyed when he heard it, and he took his long hammer and rushed towards the city gate. As a result, before he reached the city gate, he found that this bandit had already rushed into the county seat, so he took the long hammer and killed it.
Timur is extremely brave, where are these bandits his opponents? I saw him hammer east and west, smashing these bandits in embarrassment, and quickly slowed down the pressure on the soldiers defending the city.
When the soldiers defending the city saw that such a brave person suddenly appeared on the side, their morale immediately increased, and they also mustered up the courage to kill the bandits, and finally controlled the situation and blocked the bandits in the gap.
Yang Yun standing on the city wall. See the gap. The situation has been stabilized. stopped Qi Wei and others who were preparing reinforcements.
Said with a smile. "This guy has been miserable these days, let him vent!"
