Chapter 313: Cannibalism

Yang nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you capture Anyang County, you will not be held accountable for losing the city." ”

"Thank you, General." Lieutenant Zhou bowed heavily and left with the soldiers.

Soon, hundreds of death squads composed of cavalry abandoned horses rushed out of the team carrying improvised door knockers made of giant logs, led by the county lieutenant Zhou.

Commander Wang saw that the soldiers were pressed and beaten by the opponent's archers, and his heart was already half cold, but at this time, through the hazy moonlight, he saw that the siege equipment had come out, and he was even more anxious like ants in a hot pot.

"Trebuchets prepare." The king roared angrily, but those slingers who had already been arranged, one by one, hid under the battlements and trembled, these family members usually bullied and bullied those ordinary people, let them go into battle to kill the enemy, this is cowardly.

The king kicked him over, but the man only hid under the battlements and howled in terror.

The king stepped forward with a knife, and a good head rolled directly to the ground.

"This is the fate of all those who don't listen to orders, hurry, the slingers hurry up and prepare, otherwise there is no need for the rebels to do it, and Lao Tzu will kill you now."

Those family members were originally scared by the king's commander who slashed a person with a knife, but now when they heard his words full of murderous intent, they could only hold back the fear and pick up the pieces of rocks and logs.

The king also put the arrow feather back on the bowstring, trying to kill a few enemy soldiers before the siege equipment rushed to the city gate, but when he aimed the bronze arrow feather at the group of enemies carrying the siege equipment, he found that those people were actually a little familiar.

After a while, the group of men and horses got closer, and finally they were within the range of the torches, and the king found that he really knew those people, and they were actually the personal soldiers of their county captain.

Commander Wang's heart tightened, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, and hurriedly looked for something in those crowds, and sure enough, he finally saw the county lieutenant Zhou who was running at the front.

The king was amazed and delighted! Surprised, they fought to the death on their side, but the other party was actually the county lieutenant, and they were happy that their county lieutenant finally brought reinforcements to save them, but suddenly thought of something, and now the arrows on both sides are still flying all over the sky! Isn't this cannibalism?

Just when he was stunned for a moment, the siege death squad had already rushed to the city, and those family Ding Qingzhuang were also holding the stone and smashing it down, and he saw with his own eyes that a personal soldier who often followed the county lieutenant to the mansion was smashed by a stone and his head was bleeding, and he fell to the ground.

"Stop, stop me." The king's angry roar made those families stop and make them stop.

But those family members were already frightened, and smashed the stone down like crazy, completely ignoring the king's command.

Commander Wang knocked seven or eight family members to the ground with a few punches and kicks, and his eyes were red and he said angrily: "Didn't you hear Lao Tzu telling you to stop?" That's the county lieutenant, the county lieutenant has come to save us, hurry up and open the city gate, go quickly. ”

"County ...... Lord Prefectural? Several family members were stunned for a moment, and then ran to open the city gate.

The king ran to the edge of the city again, and just then an arrow fell from the sky, and an arrow pierced his arm.

Commander Wang forcibly endured the great pain, and shouted loudly to the county lieutenant Zhou under the city: "County lieutenant, don't fight, let the soldiers stop, it's me, I'm Lao Wang!" Don't fight, Lord Lieutenant, I've already sent someone to open the city gate. ”

Zhou County Lieutenant was personally pushing the siege hammer and smashing it to the city gate, making a knocking sound of heavy objects, when he suddenly heard someone shouting at the head of the city, and the voice was so familiar, he hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, he saw a burly man lying on the wall and waving to him.

County Lieutenant Zhou was stunned for a moment, why was his guard commander in the city? Isn't it supposed to be a rebel? Don't?

County Lieutenant Zhou suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly yelled: "Stop, stop, it's a misunderstanding, it's all your own people, don't fight." ”

But the Hufu cavalry simply ignored him, and did not hear the order to stop the attack, and they would not stop the attack.

And the soldiers at the head of the city and the guards sent by the powerful families already knew who was outside the city, and they all stopped attacking one by one, but the other party was still

Because I was worried that the city gate would be breached, the back of the city gate was blocked with mud bags, and it would take a little time to open it, but now is the time to race against time! Wait one more minute, and there will be a few more casualties.

Lieutenant Zhou didn't say a word, turned around and ran back to the place of the army, where there were still more than a thousand light cavalry that did not move, and there was also a place where several generals were, he wanted to go back to explain all these things, this was all a misunderstanding, those were his own people, not rebels, they were killing each other.

Several generals were keeping an eye on the progress of the battle, and at this moment, Yang Yi's personal soldiers stepped forward and hugged their fists and said, "General, Captain Zhou asks to see you." ”

Yang Yi frowned, didn't this Zhou County Lieutenant form a death squad to attack the city gate? How did you come back and do what? But at this time, when he didn't talk about hing, he said, "Let him come." ”

County Lieutenant Zhou quickly ran to Yang Yi and knelt directly on the ground, and said bitterly: "General, quickly, quickly order to stop the attack, the city is ...... The head of the city is all their own people, not rebels! ”

Yang Yi was shocked and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou County Lieutenant hurriedly said: "Subordinate...... The subordinates don't know, but it's the subordinate guards who defend the city, this is absolutely true, general, let the soldiers stop attacking first! Wait a quarter of an hour for a few more lives! ”

Yang Yi is also in a hurry, if this is really the case, aren't they killing each other now? Yang Yi hurriedly said to the soldiers behind him: "Come on, quickly let the whole army stop attacking, go quickly." ”

"Yes, General."

Several pro-soldiers clenched their fists and wanted to ride their horses to give military orders, after all, the time was urgent, and it was better to have a war horse.

But before those Yang Yi's personal soldiers left, Wang Youcai immediately said loudly: "Slow down." ”

Yang Yi was furious: "General Wang, what do you mean by this?" Don't you know that time is of the essence? Don't you know that soldiers are in danger of being killed by their own men at any time? ”

In the face of Yang Yi's anger, Wang Youcai also looked indifferent, and said: "General Yang, you are a general, not a soldier, your every move will determine the fate of the soldiers, how do you know that they are their own people, not traitors who surrendered to the rebels, now they are just unable to resist our attack, and the purpose of the trick is to delay time, so that the rebel regular army has time to arrive at the battlefield." ”

It is not unreasonable for Yang to think about it, after all, this is a major event of the battle between the two armies, not a child's matter.

Lieutenant Zhou hurriedly said: "No, no, no, General Wang, the one who guards the city is the commander of the guards in my house, this person is loyal to me, and he has no second heart for Da Zhao, he will never betray Da Zhao, and he is willing to guarantee with the head of the lowly position." ”

"Huh, your head? How much is your head worth? In order to exterminate the rebels, we have lost tens of thousands of troops before and after, and now we are about to succeed, is it because of your head that we have failed? ”

Lieutenant Zhou's eyes were red, and he hurriedly said: "General Wang, now the defenders are preparing to open the city gate, as long as they are willing to open the city gate, it means that they are not rebels, General Wang, please believe it!" These are all good men of Da Zhao! ”

When Wang Youcai heard that the city gate was opened, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded, Okay, since this is the case, I will believe you once, let them open the city gate! I ordered the soldiers to stop the attack.

"Thank you, General Wang, thank you, General Wang." The county lieutenant of Zhou was overjoyed and hurriedly urged the commander of the king to open the city gate quickly.

Wang Youcai recruited a pro-soldier, and then whispered something in the ear of the pro-soldier.

The soldier looked a little surprised, then nodded, and rode away.

Soon, the Hufu archers who were besieging the city stopped their attack and concentrated on the city gate.

The soldiers in the city and the guards of the various provinces heard the attack, and they all breathed a sigh of relief that they were still alive, and one by one, under the leadership of the king, they went down to the city in a neat line to meet the arrival of their reinforcements, leaving only the unlucky ones who were pierced through the body by arrows.

In this battle, the people defending the city at least killed nearly 1,500 people, and those who were still alive were more or less injured, but what is surprising is that the dead are basically the people who rushed to help, as well as the families of various provinces, those guards died relatively little, as for those soldiers, there are too few, in addition to the death of dozens of unlucky people who did not respond in time, there are as many as 700 people who went down to the city tower for seven or eight hundred people.

"Gurgle"

The gates were slowly opened, and behind them were more than a thousand defenders lined up, and at the front were the kings of the county governor's mansion.

At the first glance, Commander Wang saw the county lieutenant Zhou standing anxiously outside the city gate, and he was immediately overjoyed, and the dignified seven-foot man actually left tears of excitement.

Commander Wang quickly ran to the county lieutenant Zhou, knelt down on one knee, and said excitedly: "Lord county lieutenant, you are finally here, and my subordinates think that they will never see your adult again." ”

Zhou Xian Ling quickly moved forward to help the king, while looking at the scenery in the city, wanting to see if the people he cared about were not there, and asked eagerly: "Commander Wang, please hurry up, how is the lady and the young lady?" ”

Commander Wang took advantage of the situation to stand up with the support of Zhou County Lieutenant, and said, "Lord Hui, Mrs. and Miss are fine, they are ...... the mansion."

Zhou County Lieutenant found that Commander Wang's voice suddenly stopped, as if it was directly interrupted by something, turned his head to look at Commander Wang, and found that Commander Wang's eyes were wide and normal, but his mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out, and then looked down, Zhou County's pupils suddenly contracted, and he saw that Commander Wang's neck was inserted in addition to this arrow feather, directly penetrating from the left neck, and a cold arrow with blood came out from the right neck.

Zhou Xianwei took advantage of the situation to look in the direction of the tail of the arrow feather, and saw that the Hufu archers, who had already stopped attacking, had begun to be restless at this time.

Three thousand Hufu bows rode horses and galloped, and went directly to the city gate to kill.

Zhou County Lieutenant seemed to be stimulated, just staring at the Hufu archers who were getting closer and closer, he really couldn't understand why these archers wanted to release arrows to kill my Wang Commander, and they were about to be trampled into meat by the war horses, but fortunately, at the last moment, several personal soldiers hurriedly pulled Zhou County Lieutenant to the corner of the city gate, this time avoiding the fate of the corpses and horses.

As soon as the Hufu archers rushed into the city, they immediately slaughtered the defenders who did not know what was happening.
