The earthen platform fortifications of the officers and soldiers were erected higher and higher, and the surrounding ground was densely packed with corpses.

Some were cut down by the officers and soldiers for working too slowly, and some were shot to death by bows and arrows in the city. It's good to be able to die all at once, and the wail of half a breath is terrifying.

Zhu Wu listened on the city wall, and could only sigh silently, this is the troubled times, this is fate! Die early and be reincarnated early, and give birth to a peaceful and prosperous world in the next life!

Cui Minzhe, a Korean man under the city, was next to the Han army's Qianhu Quanxu, humbly asking for advice on how to attack the city.

Quan Xu was a little impatient, drew a figure on the ground with a horsewhip, pointed and said, "When the earthen platform is high enough, the handsome Mongolian archers will come up to the stage and release arrows to suppress those barbarians on the city wall, and then you choose a team of elite soldiers to protect the top of your head and rush to the city gate." Remember, bring more fierce fire oil, and then set fire to his mother. ”

Cui Minzhe's small eyes blinked, "That's it?" It's that simple? ”

"Simple?" Quan Xu almost bit his tongue, "This is a method piled up by human life, it has been beaten like this from ancient times to the present, you actually say it's simple?" ”

"Brother doesn't mean that, it's really a mess, and I don't know the bottom of my heart!" Choi Min-chul explained, "In the Goryeo camp below, the field battle is not good, how can you attack the city!" ”

"It's hard to disobey the handsome order, so let's do it yourself!" Quan Xu suddenly felt some sympathy for this Korean man, and said with a sigh.

"Brother Quan, is there any way to make the marshal change his mind?" Cui Minzhe lowered his voice and said, "The whole brother is quite handsome, and he is a person who can speak. Brother wants to ask the whole brother to say a few kind words in front of the marshal, and replace it with someone else to attack the city! ”

"For whom?" Quan Xu was angry in his heart, and said patiently.

Cui Minzhe didn't see that his expression had changed, and continued to smile, "Change those Han soldiers!" As long as the whole brother helps the brother to speak, the brother will be grateful. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers, "Two thousand taels of silver, plus five Goryeo maidservants, I guarantee that they are all virgins." ”

The whole house sneered, "It's not impossible to help you speak, it's just why change the Han army, the Han army may not be able to break through Haozhou!" ”

"There are many Han people!" Cui Minzhe spat on the stars, "If you die, you can catch Ding, but my brother's Goryeo camp is ......"

"Fuck you!"

The big fist of the casserole was like a hammer, and Cui Minzhe hugged his head and scurried, "You, you hurt others and benefit yourself!" ”

At dusk, before the sky was still a little bright, the fortifications of the officers and soldiers were finally almost finished, and the top of the earthen platform was modified with a one-man high wooden breastoph.

People are not afraid of death, they are afraid of waiting for death, so the wait for this day is extraordinarily long.

It was so long that Zhu Wu's fingernails were bald, and he had seen the power of elite archers. If these platforms were full of archers, the people on the walls would not even want to straighten up.

But there is really no other way than to resist hard, and the soldiers in the red scarves are all poor men, and few have touched bows and arrows. Those who can pull the bow are Guo Dashuai's treasures.

"If only there was a cannon!"

Zhu Wu hated to think that even if it was the smallest artillery, the officers and soldiers would not be able to do anything, and they would go down to a pit with one cannon.

"Sappy!" Zhu Wu saw someone coming, "Go back and ask Xi Lao Dao, is the palm thunder matched!" ”

The palm thunder that was equipped with it before was almost the same last time, and after returning to the city, Zhu Wu asked Xi Yingzhen's master and apprentice to hurry up to make it, and there were not too many guys to save their lives.

"Fifth brother, I'm looking for a good thing!" Guo Xing and Li Sai led people and dragged something over from a distance.

"Bed crossbow?"

Zhu Wu asked uncertainly, he just heard this thing from the old army, it was originally a rare weapon in the army, but because the imperial court was guarding against the Han people, there were not many Haozhou City in Nuoda, and they were all useless goods.

"Where did you get it? Anything else? ”

Li Sai was the defender of Haozhou, and said with a smile, "Just this one, the brother on the other side of the city gate tower doesn't know the goods, so I got it directly." ”

As the name suggests, the bed crossbow is like a bed, and under it is a wooden rack like a bed, which can be fixed to the ground. There is also a large crossbow machine fixed on it, the strings are as thick as a human arm, and two strong men are required to turn the winch to wind it, and the arrows are like ash poles. (Don't take it seriously.) ）

"Will you use it?" Zhu Wudaxi, "Put it on, and aim at the earthen platform of the official army." ”

"I don't know how to use something with strings!"

Li Sai led the men to fix the bed crossbow with all hands and feet, squeaked and wound it, and the arrow was aimed at the target outside the city.

"him?" Guo Xing asked.

Zhu Wu shook his head, "There are no birds, shoot feathers!" When it's full of people, when to do it! ”

"Fifth brother, Sister Xiuying is here!"

He was lying on the city wall studying, and someone behind him was talking. Zhu Wu turned around and saw Ma Xiuying and Guo Lian'er carrying two wooden barrels up, and the little girl Xiu'er also stepped on her calves and followed with difficulty.

"Five fruits! I miss you! "The girl is still young and doesn't understand anything, so when she saw Zhu Wu, she ran over happily.

"Let my brother take a look!" Zhu Wu directly hugged her in his arms, "Yo, fat!" "Not only is she fat, Xiu'er's hair is yellow, but now it is thick and black, and her face is shiny.

and Guo Lian'er was originally like bean sprouts, how much effort did she have, she ate well and dressed well, and she grew taller and came out, which is a little feminine.

Looking at Ma Xiuying again, she didn't wear her usual plain Luo skirt, but instead dressed in a neat men's dress, with a short knife pinned to her waist.

"Sister Xiuying, what are you doing here?" Zhu Wu hugged the girl and smiled.

"If I don't come up, you can't drink the north wind?" Ma Xiuying put down the wooden barrel, and there was a vegetable soup with oil, "There are not enough people, so I will follow the gang to help cook for everyone!" ”

"Fifth brother, eat buns!" Guo Lian'er's wooden barrel contained freshly steamed dry food.

"Let the brethren eat and rest!" Zhu Wu took the order, and his eyes inadvertently saw that Zhu Chongba on the opposite side of the city wall was stomping on the side, and shouted, "Brother Chongba, come and eat!" ”

"Okay!" Zhu Chongba was also not polite, and swished over in a few steps.

Zhu Chongba is now the marshal's personal soldier, and he doesn't have to guard the front line of the city. Guo Dashuai sat at the head of the city, sent him to lead an unlucky errand, and took a few brothers to hang around on the city wall and supervise the battle.

The people who do this work are not proud, so there are many people in the city, but no one talks to them.

Guo Xing was holding a steamed bun and fishing soup, and fortunately removed his ass when he saw him coming.

"Thank you, Miss!" Zhu Chongba took the food handed over by Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying smiled, "Brother Zhu, don't call me Miss, I'm not so expensive!" ”

This is the truth, the eldest lady Ma Xiuying is Guo Zixing's subordinates who have been domesticated for many years, and they are almost the same as domestic slaves, and she doesn't like this title very much.

Zhu Chongba smiled heartily, "Then let's call you Miss Ma!" As he spoke, a sentence suddenly came, "We are older than you, so let's call you sister in the future!" ”

Strike!

Zhu Wu choked, two green vegetables squirted out along his nostrils, and he couldn't stop coughing.

Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongba, I usually see you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I can't imagine that you kid is so thick-skinned!

Although Zhu Wu had long known that this was Chongba's future daughter-in-law, he didn't plan to be a matchmaker, and he didn't think about pulling Lang to match. He and Sister Xiuying are also more like sisters and brothers, this matter is just natural, and Zhu Wu is deep down, or he has a little bit of caution that he doesn't want to admit.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Chongba took the initiative to set it up, and it was enough to kick his nose in the face.

"How old a person is, you can choke on soup!" Ma Xiuying didn't reply to Zhu Chongba, but said to Zhu Wu with a smile.

Guo Xing squinted at Zhu Chongba, and said with a prickly voice, "Okay, old Zhu, Sister Guan Xiuying is called a sister, and you are also the first." It's different to be a personal soldier for the marshal, and the market has risen. ”

Zhu Chongba also regretted it a little after speaking, it was too light. Let Guo Xing eat a few words, and his face is a little inexplicable.

Ma Xiuying is generous, "It's the same name, I'm also the daughter of a small family, so I don't have so much to say." After speaking, he carried it and went to the side to distribute food.

Zhu Chongba buried his head and ate several large bites, and then asked softly in Zhu Wu's ear, "Little Wu, what's that!" That horse girl is very good to you! ”

Eh, that's what you asked, really toothy!

Zhu Wu wanted to laugh and held back, "Sister Xiuying, like you, is kind to me." If it weren't for her, Xiao Wu might not be able to live today! ”

That's right, without Ma Xiuying's intercession, Guo Zixing may not be willing to let Zhu Wu go to the gang. Moreover, for a long time, Ma Xiuying has always treated him differently, and really treats him as his own family.

(Can you be patient with a novel of more than a million words?) The good drama is behind, whether it is Zhu Wu or Chongba, they are just starting, and the love-hate entanglement and brotherhood are still to come. ）

Zhu Chongba hadn't heard Zhu Wu say anything about this, and he was a little puzzled, but he was embarrassed to ask again.

In the distance, Guo Dashuai sat in the Chinese army, the handsome flag fluttered in the most conspicuous place at the head of the city, and the leaders of the guards and the Haozhou red scarves stood around him.

Tang He is among them, as the leader of the cavalry thousand households, the mobile force in the hands of the marshal, he must obey orders at any time. As soon as Ma Xiuying and the others went up the city wall, he saw it, but his eyes were on the thin girl behind Ma Xiuying.

The sister-in-law of the Guo brothers next to Zhu Wu, the idler raised by the eldest lady in the back house. Originally, Tang He had seen it a few times from afar, and Emei was crying, but I didn't know what was wrong today, and my heart felt like I had been scratched.

Coincidentally, Zhu Wu seemed to say something to her over there, and a shy smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Guanjun, come to power!"

Hearing the shout, Zhu Wu immediately threw the bowl in his hand and lay down on the city wall.

Several groups of archers armed with heavy bows and wearing leather robes climbed onto the earthen platform. There was also a breastwork on the platform, which encased the archers like a shield.

The earthen platform is a ladder, so the position of the archers cannot be on a horizontal line, and one of the archers, measured the direction of the wind, brushed the original arrow, and the arrow fell at the head of the city.

"Test firing!"

Zhu Wu shouted, the officers and soldiers a few days ago were also this routine. The bows and arrows of the ancients actually need to be corrected, just like the rifles of later generations.

"Sister Xiuying, Lian'er hurry up!" Zhu Wu handed over the grinning Xiu'er to Guo Lian'er, and said hurriedly, "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

Guo Lian'er hugged Xiu'er and said as she walked, "Fifth brother, be careful yourself!" ”

"Eh, why doesn't this girl ask his brother!" Guo Xing was still holding a bun in his mouth, wondering in his heart.

"Don't eat it!"

Zhu Wu gave him a kick and shouted loudly on the city wall, "Squat under the wall in the front row, behind the cat shield in the back row!" ”
