Chapter 234: Cannon Fodder Fills the Pit

The war drums protruded, the sound shook all over the wilderness, everyone's eyes were instantly attracted by the south of the city, more than 2,000 homeless people were driven by the thief army has approached the trench, they are holding tools, the goal is to bury the trench, for the army to open a straight road to the moat.

However, the pit dug by the officers and soldiers with great manpower and material resources could not be leveled as you wanted, and thousands of troops were waiting for them in the trenches with bows and arrows.

Seeing the murderous officers and soldiers waiting for battle, and the black arrows possessed like death, the displaced people suddenly panicked and began to hesitate.

"Death to those who retreat"! The thief general Gu Ying shouted, and his subordinate thieves began to beat those homeless people, scolding them for coming forward.

There is no such thing as a free lunch!

A gruel that can fill the belly, and at this time you have to risk your life to work.

Born in troubled times, his life is involuntary, and he is as cheap as a pig and a dog.

"Death to the former!"

Across a trench, the officers and soldiers lined up and shouted loudly at the homeless, but the homeless people who were driven away rushed over as long as they dared to rush over: "The military masters spare their lives......" roared in their mouths, but they were busy digging and filling in the pits!

"Shoot!"

After the battle, He Chengxin gave an order, and the arrows rained down like locusts, overwhelmingly falling towards the homeless, screaming again and again in an instant, crying and changing the color of the world.

"Rush over!" The thief general Gu Ying sneered, ordered his subordinates to counterattack, and the archers began to attack the trench positions of officers and soldiers.

The two sides shot at each other across the displaced people, and there were casualties, but the worst were the poor displaced people.

Because they are the main targets of killing officers and soldiers.

Because they mobilized the fortifications of the officers and soldiers to protect the hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan City.

"Kill it!" After a while, Gu Ying coldly gave an order.

Because of the distance between the homeless people and a few trenches, the thief army had little effect on the officers and soldiers, but the bandit army was killed by the officers and soldiers, and almost scattered the bandit army behind them.

The thieves immediately made a big move, slashed and killed a few retreating homeless people, and then rushed towards the front of the trench position, shooting at close range from the trench and the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers suddenly felt pressure, and at this time, those displaced people took the opportunity to dig and fill the pits!

"There are fewer people!" On the upper floor of the Great South Gate, Chang Yu stared at the battle situation, and said lightly, which attracted Zhou Yuji's sideways.

"Give him a big game, and overwhelm people with power!" There was a sneer at the corner of Chang Yu's mouth.

Zhou Yuji understood in seconds, and immediately ordered all the people in the city to go up.

There were 18,000 soldiers under the city, and in addition to 3,000 regular patrols, there were still 15,000 troops stationed to guard the city river.

Previously, 5,000 men and horses, under the leadership of He Chengxin, sniped the homeless people to fill the ditch, and at this time they were shooting at the thief army.

Under the cover of the attack of the thief army, those homeless people braved the arrows to dig the earth, 2,000 people, the momentum was huge, and the progress was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the trench facing the outermost part of the Great South Gate was actually half flattened.

If it goes on like this, Li Zicheng's abacus is really slippery, but Zhou Yuji and Chang Yu naturally can't let him get his way, and with an order, all the 15,000 troops that can be mobilized under the city will be put into battle, which is more than three times that of the thief army.

"I'm willing to pay for it!" Seeing that the officers and soldiers suddenly threw in a large number of troops, Li Zicheng sneered, and also waved his hand to order reinforcements, and the two sides soon engaged in a brutal suppression battle on the edge of the trench.

In the fierce exchange of fire, a group of panicked homeless people dug with fear on their faces, their heads bowed and sweating like rain......

"The thief is determined to be close today...... "Seeing that the thief army was so unwilling to give up, and reinforced again and again, everyone in the city looked tense and silent for a while, I don't know when Zhu Xianxuan also appeared here, his face was pale, his whole body trembled, and he muttered in a low voice.

"Although human life is like a mustard, a thief will not waste it like this" Chang Yu smiled and patted him gently, this young man had never seen a big battle, and when he saw this scene, although he was five miles away, he was still trembling.

"Uh, you, you...... Are you here? You, you're hurt! Zhu Xianxuan seemed to have just discovered Chang Yu at this time, first happy and then surprised.

"I also said that I was looking for you to fight at night, why did you get up?" Chang Yu smiled lightly!

"The thief army is under the city, you, what kind of fight are you looking for this king, I don't know the severity, I don't know the severity......" Zhu Xianxuan stomped his feet like a dog in the sun, looked at Chang Yu and sighed, thinking that this guy was so unreliable, always not doing his job, but he was convinced in his heart, at this time, which of the people in the city did not look nervous, his face was heavy, only he talked and laughed freely.

"What did Master Chang just say that this wave of attacks by the thieves will stop soon?" Prefect Sun Kangzhou asked in a low voice.

Chang Yu nodded slightly: "When he first arrived, he had a monstrous war in his heart, and he would not care about the cost, this is a test of the water."

"Is the factory so sure?" Changshi Fan Zhitai asked.

"Naturally, if the thief was so impulsive, he would have died hundreds of times, and he would not have harmed Daming for more than ten years, and he was still alive and kicking" Chang Yu sneered and dragged Zhu Xianxuan: "Let's go, the chatter inside will go"

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the city tower, and then motioned for Tu Yuan to follow.

"This, it's still fighting here, you, you're going to chatter?" Zhu Xianxuan looked like he was eating and couldn't believe it.

"There's a affair about you and me over there, what's the matter, does the prince want to go down and walk around?" Chang Yu turned around and chuckled.

"Ben, this king ......" Zhu Xianxuan's face turned red, and he stammered when he spoke.

"Since you don't go down, it's not interesting to watch it, let's come and talk." Chang Yu laughed and pushed the door into the hall.

"You ......" Zhu Xianxuan stomped his feet, sighed and shook his head and went in with him, everyone in the city looked at each other, this person has a really big heart.

"Mr. Zhou, do you think this wave of thieves is really testing the waters?" Cai Maode turned his head and glanced at the city gate and asked.

Zhou Yuji withdrew his gaze from the city tower and looked at the trench position that was fighting in the distance under the city: "Maybe"

In his heart, he wondered why Chang Yu could always hold the pulse of the thief, as if he knew him very well, and seemed to have the ability to be a prophet.

In the lobby of the city tower, Zhu Xianxuan sat down with a huff, picked up a teapot next to him and drank it directly without asking, at this time there was no trace of the vassal king's bearing and pickiness.

Chang Yu glanced at him and couldn't help but smile, knowing that this young man was angry that he had squeezed him just now, and he felt embarrassed.

The child's temper came and went quickly, so he ignored him, and first motioned to Tu Yuan to sit down next to him: "Although you have a favor with me, it is a personal relationship, even if our family has the heart to carry it, you have to show decent military exploits, otherwise it will be difficult to block your mouth no matter how high you are, on the contrary, you may fall into a cronyism and be controlled by others!" ”

"What the adults said, humiliate the battle, and make contributions to the thief!" Tu Yuan got up and hugged his fists.

Chang Yu waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down: "This matter is not in time, the battle of Taiyuan, the opportunity to make meritorious contributions is there, as long as you have the ability and accumulate a few merits, our family will recommend you to you, and it is possible to wait for the general in the future!" ”

"I am willing to follow the factory to saddle up and go to the soup to fight the fire" Tu Yuan's expression was excited, and Zhu Xianxuan, who was next to him, was stunned, frowned and asked Chang Yu: "Is he very powerful?" ”

"It's okay to beat you ten or eight," Chang Yu smiled.

Zhu Xianxuan said that I would lean on, stood up rubbingly, and expressed his dissatisfaction, so he was about to shout, but Chang Yu got up and held down: "Teasing you, let's talk about some serious things, is the city safe at this time?" ”

As soon as he heard the matter, Zhu Xianxuan suddenly quieted down, took a breath and said: "Although the people are not allowed to approach the city wall, the city has dispatched troops, and the sound of killing outside the city is shocking, but anyone who is not deaf knows that the thief army has besieged the city, and it is normal for the people to panic, but there will be no chaos."

As he spoke, he pouted: "You have planted so many people in the city, do you still need to ask this king about these things?" ”

Chang Yu chuckled: "You are the landlord of Taiyuan, you have to listen to your opinion in everything, right?"

"What can this king say, you want money and food, how much do you want, this king didn't say a word, now it's best to just want to be able to hold Taiyuan, nothing else, and I don't dare to have any opinions." Zhu Xianxuan sighed and said, "I heard that there are a number of reinforcements, nearly 10,000?" ”

Chang Yu nodded: "The landlord is the landlord, the news is fast!" ”

Moreover, Zhu Xianxuan bared his teeth: "Nearly 10,000 people have entered the city, and the king doesn't know about such a big movement, and it is really a waste."

Chang Yu smiled and looked up at the handsome young man thoughtfully.

Zhu Xianxuan was stared at by him uncomfortably: "What are you looking at?" ”

"Prepare, I'll take you to kill the enemy another day!" Chang Yu said lightly.

What! Zhu Xianxuan stood up and looked at Chang Yu dumbfounded: "You, you mean to let this king go out of the city to kill the enemy?" ”

Chang Yu stood up and smiled faintly: "Do you dare?" ”

"I ......" Zhu Xianxuan's emotions suddenly became excited, his fists were clenched, and he kept walking back and forth, staring at Chang Yu: "With you, kill the enemy, kill the enemy, what don't you dare, when will you ......?"

Seeing that he was excited and talking nonsense, Chang Yu smiled lightly: "At any time."
