Whenever a large army goes on an expedition, not to mention thousands of miles of red land, at least there are corpses all over the field. Both Tong Guan and Tan Zhi regarded this kind of thing as commonplace, and they even used this kind of thing as a means to stimulate the morale of the soldiers.

The Tianci army in Shezhou City has been in intense training, and the initial recruits are growing up rapidly after a few battles. The makeshift gunpowder workshop in the city is producing various types of gunpowder packs, but unfortunately the materials are a little tight, but it is enough for the Tianci army to squander for a long time.

During this period, Lou Minzhong's Hangzhou Association was not idle, because inspired by the Tianci army, Li Tianyou forcibly recruited 30,000 strong men under Lou Minzhong's order and formed an army dedicated to defending the city. Because of the time relationship, the training that these 30,000 strong men have undergone is extremely targeted, and to put it bluntly, it is only two aspects: military discipline and city defense.

Not to mention the importance of military discipline, the defense of the city only requires them to be proficient in the use of various equipment to defend the city. As for the fight with real swords and guns, there are naturally a heaven-sent army and 13,000 Hangzhou masters to stand up.

There is a way that when things go wrong, there must be demons, Tong Guan suddenly became quiet, there must be something wrong here. While Shezhou City was strengthening its defenses, sentinels were sent out one after another. Soon, Tian Shiyi received the news that Tong Guan's generals were washing Xiuning with blood.

More detailed information kept being sent back, but Tian Shiyi became more and more silent. He didn't expect that man could really become a beast, or even more than a beast. All kinds of cruel information almost made Tian Shiyi crazy, and Tian Shiyi, who was hiding in the study, wrote the word "Yumei" in the neatest handwriting, and then drew a big red × on it.

What Yumei did was obviously targeting Tian Shiyi's "Three Kills Order", and its purpose was naturally to lure out the Tianci army to encircle and destroy him. Tong Guan didn't fight the rebels of the Yongle Dynasty, but stared at Tian Shiyi and the Tianci army, which was a very annoying thing. If you want Tong Guan to honestly put down the rebellion, the only way is to hurt him, so that he will be afraid when he sees the Tianci Army.

As for Yumei and the 10,000 Han army, Tian Shiyi plans to kill them all. If we can't kill the bastards who plague the people at one time, there will only be more people killed, scourged, and begged to live......

The paper with red × was sent to Niu Gao's hands, and 20,000 Tianci troops with a murderous aura left Shezhou City in silence, aiming directly at Xiuning.

"When war comes, people cease to be people." Tian Shiyi said to himself: "It is the pig and dog that run, and the jackal who holds the knife." ”

Under Tian Shiyi's order, the news brought back by the sentry was very detailed. The luckiest people in Xiuning City were those who died on the spot, the most miserable were slowly tortured to death, and the most pitiful were women. Women are always the people who suffer the most in war.

Before, Tian Shiyi always felt that those things that made him unbearable were the most cruel in the world, but now he knew that there were still some things that he couldn't even listen to. So, Yumei must die. As long as there is a chance, Tong Guan and Tan Zhen, the two dead eunuchs, will be killed sooner or later.

Xiuning is just a county seat, and there are not many people left in the city when the army is in chaos, and they should have retreated after washing the whole city with blood. But what is strange is that instead of withdrawing from Xiuning City, the 10,000 Han troops led by Yumei are repairing the city walls.

Rolling wood and stones were piled up on the city wall, and the big iron pot for boiling gold juice was also set up, and the fierce fire oil tanks and trebuchets brought from the Yixian camp were all set up on the city wall. The most surprising thing is that seventy percent of these 10,000 Han troops are trained crossbowmen. According to past experience, if you want to storm such a city, you need to have five times as many troops. Just love

Yumei put on a posture of resisting the city, there must be a conspiracy in this. Tian Shiyi knew, Niu Gao knew, and even every Tianci sergeant knew it, because the Tianci Army had the habit of holding meetings and discussions. But even so, the Tianci Army still came without hesitation, because if Brother Eleven wants to let Yumei die, then he will definitely not be able to live.

There were only 10,000 Tianci troops who came to Xiuning City, but the remaining 10,000 Tianci troops did not know where to go.

In the Art of War, Sun Tzu said that "ten rules are encircled", and even more said "encircled three ques", but the Tianci army made a move that made Yumei extremely puzzled. Niu Gao only brought 10,000 men, which was exactly the same as the strength of Yumei, but the 10,000 Tianci army was divided into four divisions, each with 2,500 people, which were blocked outside the four gates of Xiuning City.

The 10,000 Tianci army did not even set up a camp, and immediately surrounded Xiuning City, where the 10,000 Han troops were stationed, and put on a posture of wanting to annihilate the Han army.

Tong Guan's order to Yumei was to contain all the Tianci troops who left Shezhou under Xiuning City, but the 10,000 Tianci troops did not come at all, which made Yumei a little worried that Tong Daren would punish herself. After thinking about it, he decided to strike first, destroy Ximen's Tianci army first, and beat the Tianci army to the pain, and the rest of the Tianci army will naturally surround him.

After the west gate was opened, the Han army rushed out and lined up outside the city. Yumei knew that she had to fight quickly, and annihilate the two thousand five hundred people in front of her before the other three Heavenly Gift Army could increase their strength, or at least completely defeat them.

The Fan Han army hurriedly lined up the military formation, the war drums sounded, and the six thousand Han army front sabers and rear crossbowmen suddenly pressed towards the Tianci army formation. On the other hand, the Tianci Army was so busy with the work at hand that he didn't even bother to lift his head.

Yumei was a little nervous in his heart, and the calmness of the Tianci Army gave him a very ridiculous sense of crisis.

"A little further, soon, soon." Yumei thought secretly.

As long as they took more than a hundred steps forward, the Heavenly Army would be within the range of the crossbow. He came out with a whole thousand crossbowmen, in order to open the way with crossbows, and pursue them with light infantry to fight a perfect victory.

It was not easy to produce military horns with the manual technology of the Great Song Dynasty, and today's Tianci League is just a substitute for some military horns. It is enough to blow a loud sound and a simple change of tune, if you really want to blow music, the current production technology does not allow it, and the bugler who has not read much will not be able to learn it.

Yumei was secretly anxious, but a strange voice sounded in the direction of the Tianci Army. The sound was somewhat like a horn, but it was louder and more penetrating than a horn.

Before Yumei could react, the Tianci Army suddenly split left and right, revealing more than a dozen ballistas placed side by side.

After a few breaths, more than a dozen ballistas of the Tianci Army were fired together, and the stout crossbow arrows tied to the special gunpowder bag flew straight towards the Fanhan Army with a "buzz".
