"Boom! Boom! Boom! The dull beat of the drums came slowly, revealing a hint of desolation, as if the music of death was about to begin.

Dressed in light gray cloth and covered with simple leather armor, the soldiers of the Heavenly Master Army slowly appeared in Nan Zhengcheng's field of vision like a large ant colony.

More than a dozen men dressed as leaders galloped on horseback, shouting to restrain the troops, and the originally slightly chaotic formation gradually dispersed, forming a phalanx of about eight thousand people. Then, dozens of tall ladders and siege towers slowly pushed out of the phalanx with a dry and piercing sound of wheel axle turning.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Heavenly Division Army let out a heaven-shattering cheer, and Zhang Xiu led a group of his subordinates to ride their horses to the front of the battle.

Zhang Xiu's face is thin and elegant, his bearing is calm and calm, and he wears a yellow coat, showing his extraordinary demeanor of a heavenly master and Taoist master.

He raised his right hand slightly, and the huge noise of the warriors gradually subsided, and they all looked at the supreme master in their hearts.

Zhang Xiu looked at the army of thousands of people in front of him, and felt that the sprout of hope in his heart seemed to be breaking out of the ground uncontrollably, trying his best to grow into a towering tree, he had been waiting for this day for too long!

He took a deep breath, and his high-pitched voice resounded across the battlefield: "Faithful disciples! The Han family has no way, so that the people are not happy, since you and others gathered under the banner of my heavenly master, we have been fighting for survival! ”

"Today is the day we have been waiting for for a long time! Because, after today's war, the entire territory of Hanzhong will belong to the Heavenly Master Dao and to you! Under the light of the Heavenly Master's teachings, you will get the land, wealth, and women that belong to you in the first place! No more poverty and hunger! ”

The eyes of the soldiers of the Heavenly Master Army burst into an unprecedented light, and they waved the weapons in their hands in unison, letting out a deafening roar.

Zhang Xiu slowly turned the horse's head, looked at Nan Zhengcheng, who seemed to be close at hand, and turned his ambition into a loud cry: "Rush!" ”

Cheng Yu hurriedly walked down the city with a solemn face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if there was no reminder from Zhang Lu this time, I was afraid that I would suffer a big loss, I hope that this temporary preventive measure can come in handy.

He looked at Nan Ying, who was trying to put on a leather armor with the help of the Eagle's Nest warriors, and said worriedly: "Lord, the thief army is powerful, do you really want to take the battle yourself!" ”

Nan Ying said nonchalantly: "I admit it, I underestimate Zhang Xiu a little. However, now I have discovered one more thing, and that is that I overestimate the Heavenly Master Army! ”

He looked at Zhang Lu's embarrassed expression and said with a smile: "There are only 10,000 people, not only have they not been strictly trained, but they don't even have a few decent equipment, I feel a bit of a bully!" If I don't dare to fight again, hehe, I'm afraid that even Gongqi will laugh at me! ”

Cheng Yu was still worried: "Although the thief army is not strong in combat, it carries a large number of siege equipment, and the internal response of the city defense army is also a variable.........

Nan Ying interrupted: "The enemy army has come up, come on, send Mr. Zhongde down immediately!" Good life protection! ”

Several sturdy sergeants swarmed up, ignoring Cheng Yu's protests, and forced him off the tower.

Nan Ying walked to the city wall, held the battlements with both hands, looked at the large area of enemy troops on the black pressure, and felt the long-lost battle spirit in his heart, as if it was like a small flame lit in the wilderness, which was spreading infinitely with a raging momentum.

Fang Hu came behind him and said respectfully: "Lord, everything has been deployed and stopped, just waiting for the lord's order!" ”

"Choking" Nan Ying took out the eagle knife from his back, pointed at the approaching Heavenly Master Army, his eyes shot a powerful battle intent, and shouted coldly: "Fight!" ”

The trumpet flag in the Heavenly Division Army formation was unfurled, and the soldiers of the Heavenly Division Army in the four phalanxes let out an earth-shattering shout, raised the simple wooden shield in their hands, maintained a relatively complete queue, and surrounded all kinds of siege equipment, swarming towards the north gate of Nanzheng.

A general dressed in pitch-black fish-scale armor stood on top of the north gate tower with his sword on the hilt of his sword, his face covered with an iron mask, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the slanted corners of his mouth exposed his disdain and contempt for the Celestial Master Army.

Fang Hu came behind him and said solemnly: "High-speed rail commander, the lord has an order, fight!" ”

The general pushed up the mask, revealing the young and resolute face of the high-speed railway, and said with a smile: "Finally waited for this order!" ”

He looked at the approaching colony of ants, smiled, and shouted, "Bow Cavalry Brigade, stand shield!" ”

More than 300 warriors with big shoulders and round waists stepped forward side by side with shields, and more than 300 huge shields were connected into a long shield wall, and they stood behind the battlements of the pitch-black leather shields that were almost one person high, and the whole city wall seemed to tremble.

"Archer brigade, get on the arrows!"

Hundreds of skilled archers took out brown feathered arrows from the quiver behind their backs, and put them on the strings, and they let out a loud roar of "Drink Ha" together, and with the rhythm of this roar, hundreds of longbows were instantly filled, and the clusters of three-edged arrows that flashed with cold light were all in the inverted triangular gap above the giant shield in front of them.

"Crossbowmen brigade, load crossbows!"

Hundreds of crossbowmen in a group of 6 people, quickly lifted out a four-legged bed frame, skillfully mounted a formidable giant crossbow on the iron trough of the bed frame, and then the four of them worked together, turned the winch on both sides, opened the crossbow string and buckled it on the teeth, and finally, one soldier put a giant spear equipped with a huge three-edged blade iron axe at the front end on the launch frame, and the other soldier raised a sledgehammer, ready to hammer the board machine with all his strength.

Seeing Fang Hu's amazement, Gao Tie couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "I'll leave it to me here, Captain Fang, I'll assign 100 crossbowmen to command you, and it should be able to deal with the civil strife in the city!" Go quickly! ”

Fang Hu came to his senses, excitement flashed in his eyes, and he bowed down and said, "I will not disgrace my life in the future!" "Then he went away.

Gao Tie turned around, just in time to see that the enemy vanguard outside the city had just stepped on the white line marked with a distance of 200 steps, and he slowly raised his right hand.

The flag soldier beside him was a little nervous, staring at the hand hanging in the air. He knew that once this hand fell, it would mean that Nanzheng City would immediately become a Shura cemetery.

The war is finally about to break out!

At this time, in the camp of the city guards not far away, there was an undercurrent of uneasiness and panic.

The 3,000 city defense troops, led by the tun chief and the Dubo, lined up in a neat queue on the school grounds. The soldiers looked at the military tent on the other side blankly, and they all let out low discussions, which converged into a lot of "buzzing" sounds, and even the officers were exchanging uneasy glances with each other, what is going on today? Although there are no surprises in the world, but when the enemy army is about to attack the city, their own brigade is safely lined up in the camp, and no one will believe this kind of thing even if it is said.

In the big tent, the burning gazes of the fifteen military marquis shot at Lord Junma.

Jun Sima paced back and forth anxiously for a few steps, raised his head, and said angrily: "What are you all staring at me for!" This is the order of Taishou-sama and Gujo-sama! ”

A military marquis with a fierce expression stepped forward and said loudly: "My lord, I have something to say about my humble position!" ”

Jun Sima looked at this subordinate who had always been respectful, and reluctantly suppressed his anger and said, "Liu Junhou, what do you have to say?" ”

Liu Junhou was neither humble nor arrogant: "Humble and ask for orders to join the war!" ”

Before the military horse could speak, another military marquis had already said angrily: "Not bad! What's going on? The Heavenly Master army outside the city has already begun to attack the city, but the three thousand strong soldiers in my city have nothing to do here! It's child's play! ”

As soon as this remark came out, it caused a riot, and several of the generals echoed it loudly.

"Li Junhou is right, how can you trust those archers who don't know where they came from? Besides, there are only a thousand of them! ”

"Not bad! If you want to resist the enemy, you have to rely on us old brothers! ”

"What are Taishou-sama and Gucheng-sama thinking? Why don't you keep me waiting! Once the city is broken, who will bear the responsibility for this great crime? ”

A hot-tempered military marquis simply shouted, "I won't wait! Then I went to lead the headquarters to guard the city! As he spoke, he turned his head and was about to leave the account.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed the man firmly.

The military marquis was furious and wanted to fight, but when he saw the person who came, he couldn't help but be stunned, put down his hand and glared at him: "Brother Zhang, why do you even want to stop me!" ”

The old and serious military marquis ignored him, only dragged him and didn't let go, but turned his head to the military Sima and said, "My lord! Don't forget, most of the families of the 3,000 city guards are in the city, and if the city is broken, I am afraid that the army's will will be shaken immediately! Please think twice! ”

Jun Sima was moved for a while, slowly looked at the enthusiastic generals of the group, and hesitated in his heart, among the 15 military marquis, Liu, Li, Zhang, and Zhao have always been the head, and now three of them have expressed their attitude, and they can no longer be indifferent no matter what.

He looked at the other military marquis with a solemn expression but didn't say a word, and sighed, "Brother Zhao, what do you think?" ”

This person is the last of the four military marquises, and Xiang is known for his wit and calmness, and he is quite popular in the army.

When the generals heard this, they all quieted down and listened to how Zhao Junhou answered.

Zhao Junhou said with a whole face: "My lord, I want to figure out a few questions first, so that I can give advice according to the situation!" ”

Jun Sima nodded and said, "Okay!" You are all old brothers who have been with me for many years, and I should know everything! ”

Zhao Junhou arched his hand and said: "My lord, the day before yesterday, the army in the city was mobilized, and 12,000 men and horses went east, what happened?" Why didn't we know about it? ”

A trace of gloom flashed on Jun Sima's face, and he shook his head and said, "Even I don't know!" ”

All the generals were stunned, and Li Junhou, who spoke before, couldn't help but say again: "Aren't you joking?" The lord is the head of the soldiers in the city, how can he not know the movements of the army? ”

Jun Sima said slightly angrily: "The army was personally ordered by Lord Taishou to be mobilized, I have already asked the reason, but he is silent, what can I do?" ”

The generals were stunned again, speechless.

"Humph!" Jun Sima suddenly sneered, "Those 12,000 people were not my subordinates in the first place, they were only temporarily transferred from various counties recently, and many of them are newly recruited recruits, I don't care if they are going to live or die?" ”

He sneered again: "So when Lord Taishou ordered me to transfer troops, I deliberately left your three thousand old brothers behind, but sent all those outsiders!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals showed a hint of laughter and nodded their heads.

Even the old and dignified Zhang Junhou bowed his head and said: "Your Excellency's move is very appropriate, if you want to be faithful and reliable, you have to rely on our three thousand brothers!" ”

Then Zhao Junhou said again: "Dare to ask your lord again, where did the soldiers and horses at the north gate come from, and what is their combat power?" ”

Jun Sima smiled bitterly: "I don't know very well, I only know that it is the closest elite soldier to us, and it seems that even Lord Taishou and Lord Juncheng are very polite to them!" But one thing is for sure, they are definitely a first-class elite! If it weren't for that Black Eagle Banner, I would have guessed that they were the men and horses of the Fifth School of the Northern Army! Hey, didn't you see their gear and their formation? ”

Zhao Junhou thought about it, and also nodded: "It seems that the north gate is safe for a while!" ”

The hot-tempered rough military marquis couldn't help but shout: "Brother Zhao, their road is unknown, what if it is the enemy army pretending?" They are defending the city, but we can't intervene, this, isn't this sitting still! ”

"Phew!" Then Liu Junhou scolded, "You old Zhu is really a pig's brain!" If the Heavenly Master Army could send such a well-equipped strong soldier, Lao Tzu would be the first to die headlong! ”

Although Zhu Junhou was rough and arrogant by nature, he was very respectful to the four military marquis, and he shrank his head when he was scolded, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

After the generals snickered for a while, the Marquis of Zhao Jun said solemnly: "My lord, the last question, why did Lord Taishou and Lord Juncheng order us to stand by in place, don't they know that the war is urgent?" No matter how powerful those Black Eagle archers are, without our assistance, it will be difficult to resist the 10,000 army of the Heavenly Master Dao head-on! ”

This sentence can be regarded as asking the doubts in everyone's hearts, and everyone shouted in unison: "Exactly! Why, exactly? ”

Jun Sima felt a pang of depression in his heart, he knew the real reason, but in the face of a group of old subordinates who had followed him for many years, how could the words "investigate the traitor" be spoken?

He gritted his teeth, and was desperate to tell the truth.

Suddenly, a soldier outside the tent shouted, "Lord Juncheng has arrived!" ”

He was relieved that he finally had someone to help him deal with the predicament in front of him.

King Juncheng was tired of only bringing a tall guard, hurriedly marched into the tent, and saw that all the generals bowed their hands together, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Lord Junma, have you ever found out your eyebrows?" ”

Seeing that all the generals looked at each other with puzzled eyes, the military Sima secretly screamed in his heart, so he had to say embarrassedly: "My lord, it happened suddenly, and the last general has no time to ask!" ”

Wang Lei flicked his long sleeves and said angrily: "The war at the North Gate has started, the situation is imminent, how dare you delay it, and you don't quickly take down all the military marquis, tun chiefs and Dubo, and interrogate them one by one!" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the pot exploded when the tent was neutral, and all the generals changed color together.

"Choked" Liu Junhou had already pulled out half of the long knife, and said slowly: "Dare to ask Lord Juncheng, what is the crime of me, and I want to take us down!" ”

After Wang Ti put his hands on his back, he was not afraid to say: "Presumptuous! I was ordered to investigate the traitors in the army, do you dare to disobey? ”

The generals were stunned and speechless for a long time.

Suddenly, Zhao Junhou sneered: "I have waited for many years to serve the country, but I have ended up like this, it is really chilling!" ”

The generals came back to their senses, and all the good-tempered ones had already cursed, and several military marquis, who had always been rude, drew their swords out of their sheaths and forced them forward.

A military marquis even scolded: "Damn, Lao Tzu has been licking blood with a knife for so many years, is it just such a result!" It's a big deal! ”

Wang Lei said angrily: "If there is no ghost in your heart, why should you be a thief with a weak heart!" How different is this from a blatant rebellion! ”

He was righteous and awe-inspiring on his face, but there was a series of grievances in his heart, just because the words just now were all said by Cheng Yu, but he didn't expect the generals to react so fiercely, and one of them was not handled properly, but he was afraid that he would die in the chaos first.

Wang Ti couldn't help but look at the guard behind him, but saw that he was expressionless, still standing with his hands down, as if he was frightened, and there was a big hatred in his heart, why did the envoy send such a waste to protect him? I knew I should have transferred more people.

Li Junhou and Zhu Junhou stepped forward with knives with fierce faces, and their eyes flashed with murderous intent flashing.

"Stop!" Jun Sima shouted violently and stepped forward to stop in front of Wang Lei.

He said furiously, "You are crazy! Lord Juncheng is just a routine interrogation, and you dare to meet each other with swords and soldiers, and offend the officials! Do you really want to kill yourself? Kind of kill me first! ”

Hearing Jun Sima's rare words, all the generals were shocked, and after years of accumulation, even Li Junhou and Zhu Junhou looked at each other and stopped.

Zhang Junhou, who was calm in his affairs, took the opportunity to step forward with several military marquis who were originally hesitant, pulled and dragged his hands, and couldn't stop saying: "Everyone, colleagues, I have something to say!" That's not what Lord Wang meant......"

Wang Ti couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and glanced at Jun Sima gratefully, if it weren't for him, I am afraid that today's matter would be really difficult to end.

The military marquis was still bitterly speaking: "Lord Jun Sima has spoken, you still don't obey the military order, that's it!" That's right, don't ....... do it! ”

As soon as the word "hands-on" fell, the tent changed and protruded.
