After this little episode, Bai Mingzhe and Zhang Bo's attention continued to focus on defending the city.

The roar of the city made the two of them still look solemn and panicked.

"Kill !!"

"Kill, !!!"

In the case of the two hundred steps of the supervising team and Guangfang personally supervising the battle, the charge of the soldiers of Jiaodong County was obviously raised.

Rushing forward is either death or receiving a reward for military merit, and retreating is a death in vain.

After weighing it, the group of soldiers began to storm the city in a frenzied manner.

One soldier after another climbed the ladder, "Da Da!" The voice rang wildly.

The ladder swayed and made a crunching sound.

Bai Mingzhe muttered, "Gong Zhang, looking at this posture, the enemy army is planning to capture the city today." To attack a city at night is to kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000 yourself. Ma Ning has been cornered. ”

Uncle Zhang calmly analyzed the battle situation, "Bai Gong, now above the city, the strength that can be fought is less than seven hundred. Among them, there are less than 500 people left in the elite of the Fire Liang Kingdom, and less than 300 peasant soldiers have been recruited. Death row prisoners have lost their combat effectiveness because of the suppression of rebellions in the city. On the other hand, there are at least more than 5,000 rebels below! ”

"My soldiers, who marched in advance for many days, and when they arrived, they were not well rested, and they hurried into siege warfare. Although the wells and battering rams have all been destroyed, if the rebels really plan to break through Gaomi County with their lives at all costs, I am afraid that we will hold on for ten hours at most! ”

After getting along with Bai Mingzhe, he also learned - as long as he can win, he will do everything, so he surrendered his hand and asked: "In order to defend the city, please give the order of the king and use the seven branches!" Now, only the Seven Branches can recruit a large number of people to defend the city without disturbing the people! ”

Bai Mingzhe shook his head frantically and said in a lost voice: "No! Now we are at a disadvantage, if we launch the Seven Branches, the outcome is unpredictable! Moreover, the Seven Branches are the method of conscription and border warfare of the Violent Qin, if we use it, it is no different from the Violent Qin! ”

He pointed out of the city, and his voice was loud, "Don't forget, one of the charges that Ma Ning refuted us outside the city is a descendant of the tyrannical Qin!" ”

"Bai Gong, who taught the contemptible people, as long as they can win, they can do anything?" Uncle Zhang asked rhetorically.

The corners of Bai Mingzhe's mouth twitched repeatedly, "This...... But I didn't expect that the public would hit the idea on the Seven Branches! ”

Seven branches, also known as seven branches.

In Bai Mingzhe's memory, during the Qin and Han dynasties, every time the Seven Branches appeared, it meant the use of foreign troops!

Qin Shi Huang first used it in order to send troops to Lingnan, and later used it to send several types of people, such as "officials with a city registration, a large number of people, a person with a city registration, a big parent, and a person with a city registration with a parent who has a city registration", and sent them to the border areas of Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun.

As for the Han ...... After Wei Qing and Huo Qu died of illness, Liu Che had to use this cruel conscription plan in order to conquer Dawan.

Uncle Zhang's face did not change, and he still insisted on his thoughts, "Gaomi County is one of the important trading places in Jiaodong, and there are more than 600 merchants and slaves in the guest houses in the city!" This is a unique condition! Bai Gong, don't miss the opportunity! ”

"But in case the merchant leads people to rebel, how can he resist it?"

Uncle Zhang said as a matter of course: "Separate the merchant from his entourage, and let the elite of my Liang Kingdom guard it!" Even if you want to rebel, you have to weigh your own combat effectiveness. ”

While the two were arguing, the archers from the city came and covered it with a rain of arrows.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

Dozens of arrows flew over the heads of Bai Mingzhe and Zhang Bo.

Uncle Zhang looked anxious, "Bai Gong, hurry up and decide!" It's almost too late! ”

Bai Mingzhe gritted his teeth and sighed, "That's it!" Defending the city is the most important thing. Even if Your Majesty blames it, I have a reason to explain! ”

He took out the small seal representing the identity of Taiyuan Jun from his arms and handed it to Uncle Zhang, "In the name of Taiyuan Jun, I will launch the Seven Branches!" In the city, the officials are guilty of one, the outlaw is two, the three are redundant, and the Jia people are four, so there are five city registrations, six parents have city registrations, and seven parents have seven registrations, all of them must respond! ”

"No!" Uncle Zhang shouted, and then said to a guard beside him: "Zhu Shi, you immediately lead a hundred soldiers to drive all the merchants and their entourage in the guest house in the city to defend the city!"

"No!"

After arranging everything, Zhang Bo continued to command the soldiers to organize the defense.

"Poof!"

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! ”

"Boom!!"

The noisy sound of battle made Bai Mingzhe extremely tired.

…………

Half an hour later,

A large number of merchants wearing luxurious Hanfu were driven to the city by Zhu Shi.

Each merchant was accompanied by a dozen retinues with swords.

As Bai Mingzhe expected, after they went to the city, they glared at the two of them angrily, if they weren't worried about the Liang army at the head of the city, they would have attacked them in groups.

In order to ensure his dignity, Bai Mingzhe looked indifferent, stood up, and looked at the group of businessmen.

"Quickly take up arms and fend off the rebels rushing up from below!"

"Whoever kills three enemies will get the title of duke! The more enemies you kill, the higher your title! If someone can kill a hundred enemies, I don't mind playing Your Majesty and asking for a lord for him! ”

After hearing that there was a knighthood reward, everyone's eyes lit up!

A bold businessman took a step forward and asked in a low voice, "Is this true?"

Bai Mingzhe smiled indifferently, "This naturally won't be fake!" I guarantee in the name of the feudal king, when you defend the city, I will send someone to count the number of killings! When the war is over, you will be rewarded one by one! ”

After a slight pause, he said in a seductive tone: "Defending the city is far easier than attacking the city, as long as the princes are capable enough, I believe that you and other slaves and followers will definitely be able to kill a hundred enemies!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and waved his hand, "Arrange for them to defend the city immediately!" ”

After learning that they had military merits, this group of businessmen looked at Bai Mingzhe's gaze and became gentle, as if they were looking at the God of Wealth.

The status of the merchant was low, and he was not entitled to a knighthood in the case of heavy agriculture and suppression of business.

Now that this Taiyuan monarch claims to be willing to ask His Majesty for a title for them, they are so happy that they are about to explode!

Some people even shouted, willing to go for Taiyuan Jun's cattle and horses!

As a result, some businessmen directly announced to their entourage, "The one who kills the most enemies will be exempted from the status of a slave, and he will be rewarded with 100 acres of land and 100,000 yuan!" ”

Some merchants were more direct, "Wait for you to be removed from the status of a slave immediately!" For those who kill the enemy, for each person killed, the reward is 5,000! ”

Under the heavy money, there will be brave men.

This group of slaves directly "Whoa!!" "The roar!

Grab your weapons and run for the rebels at the head of the city.

In their eyes, the rebels besieging the city are a flock of chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered!

"Whoa!!"

"Kill!! Yes!!! ”

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the enemy army, which was about to press the city, was beaten back by this group of "madmen" who had just joined the battle.

After Shang Jia was arranged, Zhu Shi walked to Bai Mingzhe's side again, attached it to his ear, and muttered in a low voice, "There are people in the city who want to see you." ”

"Who?"

Zhu Shi's face was strange, "They call themselves rangers!" ”

"Ranger? They? Bai Mingzhe's expression was surprised, "Are there a lot of people?" ”

"About thirty people." Zhu Shi recalled, "Now, the death row prisoners trapped in the camp are confronting them. ”

"Gong Zhang, the city has been handed over to you, I'll go down and take a look."

Uncle Zhang patted his chest, full of confidence, "Taiyuanjun can rest assured, I am here, Gaomi is worry-free!" ”

……

Under the leadership of Zhu Shi, Bai Mingzhe walked down the city through the stone stairs.

Before I could see the group, I heard the sound of fierce fighting and the clamor of cheering.

"Beat him! Hit him in the nose! ”

"Brother Sima, hold on!"

"What's so great about the Ranger! It's also famous, I'm bah! ”

Jiang Mancheng shouted red-faced on the side, "Beat him to the root!" Yes, there it is! ”

Not to be outdone, the rangers cheered for their bosses, "Brother Wang, this guy is bulky and kicks his ass!" ”

"Don't, you should hit him in the face!"

For the sake of fairness, Sima Hu deliberately took off his cloth armor and took off his helmet.

At this moment, his face was distorted, his fists were clenched, and the muscles of his arms were tense.

On the opposite side of him, a thin middle-aged man was unhurried and carefully coped with the attack.

Sima Hu clapped his hands and made a seductive gesture, "Come on, go on!" ”

The middle-aged man's eyes were sharp, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he smiled calmly, "Then Hugh blames the old man for being rude!" ”

The right leg accumulates and kicks violently, "Da da!" ”

After two breaths, he came to Sima Hu's side.

A punch is thrown, "Whew! ”

Sima Hu subconsciously stretched out his palm to block it.

"Smack!"

fist to palm,

"Ah!!h

"Frightened !!"

Two people will not let anyone, and start a competition for power!

"It's so powerful, from this point of view alone, you are indeed a famous knight!"

"You're not bad either!" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Such a skill, Captain Wu?" What's long? Team rate? Or is it a tun chief? ”

Sima Hu's face did not change, and he said in a deep voice: "Ordinary soldiers!"

"What? Ordinary soldiers?! The middle-aged man was shocked and exclaimed, "The big Han soldier is already as strong? ”

He is also a famous knight with a surname!

An ordinary soldier is inseparable from himself?

The world is crazy!

Although you don't have a weapon, you can't play your own combat power, but the other party doesn't have a weapon either!

On the whole, this competition is relatively fair.

"There will be no good results if this stalemate continues, it's better to let go of your hand, I use the scabbard, you use the wooden stick, and hit it hard!"

Sima Hu nodded, "Yes!" ”

"Whoosh!"

The two of them unloaded at the same time and took a few steps back!

The middle-aged man took his sword scabbard and drew an arc on the ground with his right foot, "Sand!" ”

Sima Hu took the wooden stick and played it a few times in his hand, "Huh! Swish! Swish! ”

The middle-aged man made a gesture, "Please!" ”

Sima Hu also made a gesture, "Please!" ”

With a weapon, the middle-aged man's momentum increased rapidly, and he was no longer polite, and shouted angrily, "Frightened!!" ”

"Come on!" Sima Hu held the stick in both hands and shook it twice.

After a breath, the two men fought again.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! ”

"When! While! While! ”

Suddenly, the two of them came and went, the shadows of sticks and swords, intertwined, weaving a picture of a shocking battle.
