Chapter 17: Tiger General
Hearing him say this, Xiao Yuan didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Please also ask Lord Liu to help our department and collect the fire oil in the people's homes." ”
"Oh? The general intends to attack with fire? Liu Yuzhi asked.
"Be prepared." Xiao Yuan smiled.
Liu Yuzhi nodded, and didn't ask any more, but said: "Okay, collecting fire oil is not a difficult task, the general can rest assured, this county will do its best to help." ”
"In this way, thank you Lord Liu." Xiao Yuan hurriedly said that he was undoubtedly very happy that the county commander was willing to help, and dealing with the people, Liu Yuzhi was of course more suitable than the army.
As he spoke, he also stood up and said again: "Then I won't bother Lord Liu below." ”
"What? The general is leaving? Liu Yuzhi also hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up.
"There are still some defenses to deal with in the army, Lord Liu, forgive me, it will be inconvenient to stay for a long time." Xiao Yuan said with a smile, and at the same time arched his hand, signaling that he was leaving.
Seeing that he insisted, Liu Yuzhi no longer kept it, but said: "Okay, then I'll send the general." ”
"Huh? Lord Liu stays ......"
When the two met for the first time, Liu Yuzhi behaved quite politely, and Xiao Yuan's first impression of him was also very good.
And according to Xiao Yuan's inquiry, this county order has a very good reputation in the mouths of the local people.
This is a literati, but the efficiency is extremely high, only two days later, someone sent a jar of fire oil to the city defense.
Everything was ready, and a few days later, the ghost army was indeed in the city.
At this moment, Xiao Yuan and Peng Shuang were also at the head of the city, looking out, on the plain outside the city pass, the ghost clan army was overwhelming, and there was no end in sight.
Looking at the ghost army that was tearing the sky and the earth, Peng Shuang took a slight breath: "I didn't expect that the ghost army really came." ”
"This should be the main force of the ghost army." Xiao Yuan said, although he has experienced life and death, but in the face of so many enemy troops, if there is no slightest wave in his heart, it will definitely be a lie.
At this time, the camp of the ghost army also changed, under the order of its commander, a ghost army general rode out, single-handedly came to the city pass, and then held the reins in a stone's throw, in the neighing of the war horse, he also raised the big knife in his hand, and shouted arrogantly:
"Listen, people of the city! Wait for the Central Plains thieves! Who dares to fight with me! ”
"If you don't dare to fight, you will quickly open the city and surrender! Otherwise, when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”
He spoke the language of the ghost clan, Xiao Yuan couldn't understand it, but anyone could see that it was the enemy general shouting.
Seeing that there was no answer, the ghost general could not help but smile on his back, and began to ride his war horse up and down the city, while shouting something.
On the plain outside the Guanwai, countless ghost soldiers and soldiers also began to wave the weapons in their hands, screaming and screaming.
The Central Plains soldiers in the city all stretched their necks to watch, this situation was very demoralizing, and before Xiao Yuan could speak, Peng Shuang had already hugged his fists and said: "General, the enemy general is arrogant, I'll kill him!" ”
Xiao Yuan glanced at him, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately said, "Okay! Quickly kill the enemy generals to strengthen the prestige of our army! ”
"Order!" Peng Shuangzhen answered, and then walked quickly towards the city.
When he arrived at the city gate, he turned over and got on his horse, and then raised the long knife in his hand and said directly to the soldiers at the city gate: "Open the city gate!" ”
With a squeaky sound of sour teeth, the tall city gate was slowly opened a gap, and Peng Shuang rode out.
"Driving-" His weapon was the kind of broadsword that was more than one person high, with an extremely long blade, and under the reins in his left hand and the knife in his right hand, the war horse galloped, mixed with a sharp and incomparable momentum.
"Beat the drums!" Xiao Yuan waved his hand.
At the same time, the drums in the city were beating.
The ghost general's shouting also stopped abruptly, and his eyes widened, looking at Peng Shuang, who rushed over with great momentum.
It seemed that there was a kind of tiger general's might, and the war horse under the ghost general's crotch also began to become restless at this time, neighing lowly.
The ghost general couldn't help but look down at the war horse, and when he looked up again, Peng Shuang had already rushed to the front, and then without saying a word, he rounded the big knife in his hand, slashed it fiercely, and fell head-on.
The wind is blowing!
The ghost general was shocked, subconsciously raised the weapon in his hand, and caught the blow hard.
But immediately, he regretted it, with a piercing sound of gold and iron, his arms were as if they had been electrified, and his mouth was even more directly cracked, almost unable to hold the weapon, and his shoulders collapsed instantly.
Unexpectedly, the other party's strength is so amazing!
The ghost general's eyes showed a deep look of horror, he clenched his teeth, stared at his eyes, and began to fight upward, trying to flick away Peng Shuang's broadsword.
But before he could bounce away, Peng Shuang had suddenly changed his momentum, his hands were wrong, and the long knife swept directly towards his neck.
Poof, blood sprayed.
The head of the ghost general was directly picked out by this knife, and then fell to the ground!
After killing the enemy general, Peng Shuang also immediately pointed the long knife in his hand at the camp of the ghost army, and shouted: "Rats! Ann dares to offend my Central Plains! ”
"Good! Good! At this time, the Central Plains soldiers in the city also began to raise the halberd in their hands to cheer for Peng Shuang.
On the other hand, the ghost army camp also quieted down from the beginning of the howling and screaming.
His morale was greatly boosted, and Xiao Yuan also looked at Peng Shuang under the city with a bright eye.
Before, when he attacked Moon City at night, he had already seen that Peng Shuang was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he was such a tiger general.
The ghost army sent a general to shout, but he didn't expect to be beheaded in an instant, and no generals were sent after that, but the entire camp began to change, and a high horn sounded.
Xiao Yuan knew that this was the ghost army that was about to attack the city, and he immediately leaned out half of his body and shouted at Peng Shuang under the city: "Peng Shuang, come back quickly!" ”
Peng Shuang is not a fool, the other party wants to attack the city with the whole army, how can he stay outside alone, after hearing this, he immediately turned his horse's head and returned to the city.
The city gate was closed again, and the ghost army also began to charge, and the defense of Liucheng officially began.
Outside the city gate, the dust was flying, and countless ghost soldiers were like a tide, swarming there.
Looking down from above, the ladders are being carried and moving rapidly.
In just a moment, the ghost army had rushed to the distance of the arrow, and at the same time, Xiao Yuan also raised his right hand alone, and then waved it forward: "Release the arrow!" ”
Following his order, the soldiers in the city threw their bows and arrows and launched random shots at the city.
For a time, there was a rain of arrows, and from time to time a ghost army was shot to the ground.
Cloud ladders were also erected all over the city pass, and the ghost soldiers began to climb up frantically.
The Central Plains soldiers in the city also began to work in groups of several people, carrying stones and rolling logs, and throwing them under the city.
Boulders fall, often killing and injuring a large area, in the era of cold weapons, the war together, the miserable howls suddenly filled the audience.
