Chapter 514: Queue up for battle
Guangwu smashed his fist the battlement in the north of the fortress, facing the boundless, black pressure of the human head knives and guns, as well as the banner shaking in the wind, this high Yingxiang homeless army in front of the fortress, hated the herald behind him: "***, what kind of world is this, is it, can anyone who can bully our army?" ”
The herald didn't respond, but his whole face was gloomy and watery.
"You go and tell the sergeant brother to let him work hard, and quickly Pegasus reports to King Chuang about our current situation, and asks King Chuang to decide this matter."
The herald arched his hand and said: "Garrison, the brother of the prison sergeant has already reported the situation here to King Chuang, but there is no news yet, but." Nunu said to the boundless army of homeless people outside, "Now, what should we do? ”
"What to do, what else to do?" Guangwu said with a firm expression: "Just these pickled things, at first glance, they are from locusts, once they are released into the base area, then they will not eat and drink us all?" No matter what order King Chuang is about to give, I have to block him now, I don't believe it, his officers and soldiers can bully me, and these locusts also want to bully me? What did he do when I broke into the army? ”
"But, but, they're rebels." The herald beside him whispered, his tone full of hesitation.
"The rebels are a fart." Guangwu spat fiercely at the city, "Didn't you see the people who rushed to us to take refuge before them?" Didn't you see the skyrocketing fire behind them? Didn't you hear what the sergeant patrol brother said? If they are rebels, then we are the saviors. ”
As soon as he said this, the herald stopped talking.
Just a few days ago, a succession of refugees began to arrive, begging the base to take them in, because they were fleeing for their lives, and there was a big king behind them to cross the border, burning their homes, taking their only family property, and killing relatives who did not want to be coerced. Like locusts crossing the border, leaving them with nothing.
Later, there were more and more refugees, and the officials in charge of government affairs were a little overwhelmed, so that the surrounding area could no longer accommodate it, so there was no way, so I had to urgently ask Chen Ce, and with the consent of Lu Shi, I began to evacuate this large number of displaced people to various parts of the base area after simple screening.
Rebels, is there such a rebel army in the world?
"So what are we going to do?"
"What should I do, it's still the same sentence, don't talk to me about the that everyone is in the same breath, they are here, they definitely don't have a good heart, they just want to eat and drink up our base, maybe there is still some crooked heart." Guangwu said indignantly. "I can't let them, a swarm of locusts, ruin the situation that King Chuang and everyone have worked so hard to create."
"But, Chuang Wang." The herald reminded in a low voice: "You also know that King Chuang is the most good-eyed, that is actually a good person, in case King Chuang orders-"
Guangwu glanced at him, did you say that about King Chuang, this is what our brothers said, if you say such things to the people, why don't you beat you with a hoe on the spot into a meat sauce?
"I don't care, as long as King Chuang's order is not given, I will never let him pass." Saying this, Guangwu turned around and shouted loudly to the thousand gunmen who were standing under the fortress wall behind him, ready to attack: "Brothers, what kind of bullshit king is coming outside, this is the king who wants to suppress us, do you agree to such a thing?" ”
"No, no." A thousand spearmen brandished their spears together, roaring angrily.
"Okay, since they want to bully us, then let's let them see, our king is the main master, we can't be bullied by the army, now, listen to my orders, go out of the city, rely on the fortress, form a gun array, let's show those pickled things, what is a strong army, we can't bully the king."
The gate of the fortress rumbled open, and a group of black-clothed and black-armored spearmen shouted neat trumpets, took sonorous steps, rushed out of the fortress with the monotonous drum beat, and lined up with standard gun formations relying on the wall, facing the boundless army of displaced people, all fearless and orderly lined up in an orderly formation, and then, with a shout, a thousand men tied their guns together and pointed obliquely: "For the father and elder behind you, fight to the death and never retreat, kill, kill, kill." ”
That momentum immediately made the 100,000 Gao Yingxiang army on the opposite side depressed, and the entire large array couldn't help but retreat obscenely in front of these thousand people.
Even Gao Yingxiang, who was riding on a horse and wanted to say a few words to Guangwu on the fortress wall in front of him, couldn't help but take half a step back.
Gao Yingxiang took his 100,000 army all the way south to kill, wrapped up everything that could be taken and coerced along the way, and basically restored the original damaged military strength to the beginning of the incident, and misjudged Lu Shi's strength, so he arrived at the fortress on the edge of the base this time, and did not pretend to be pretentious, set aside all the troops, show his strength, and with a condescending attitude, ordered someone to send a message to Lu Shi, and let him go out of the city to meet the righteous army of King Da Chuang.
In the face of this fresh fortress, Gao Yingxiang also wanted to attack it, take it in one fell swoop, and give that hairy boy Lu Shi a dismount.
However, in the face of this monster that is close to five feet high, not rammed earth with city bricks but made of boulders, my heart is cold, if this is a pile of people, how many people will have to do it?
After sending experienced Chongcheng brothers to investigate, this position is even more helpless, even the siege method can't do anything about him, and it is even more unrealistic to go around the city, because there is a fortress behind him, if you really want to do this, you can only trap your army between the two fortresses.
Now, the only way is to surrender by pressing the pole head of this fortress with troops.
His own army of 100,000 people, that is, the front and the tail are not seen, and they are overwhelming, thinking that there will be no more than 5,000 poles in the fortress, even if they are scared, they will be scared to death.
In Gao Yingxiang's meaning, the poles in the world are the same as himself, the equipment is very poor, the old and weak are composed of displaced people, and there is no combat effectiveness at all, so in this world, there is no reason to talk about, and the strength of numbers is the royal truth.
And the news he got was that the little king Lu Shi was just more than 10,000 poles, and the generals were just the muddy goods of Guo Tianxing, and there was a deserter Geng Kui, and the others were all little-known little people.
And here, not only do you have the eight generals of your own cronies, but also a few heroes who used to call for wind and rain in various places, it can really be said that there are many generals and generals, under such absolute strength, does he Lu Shi have any other way to go except to bow down to his subordinates? No, absolutely nothing.
For Gao Yingxiang's decision, he didn't stick to the mud just smiled, he had really seen Lu Shi's military strength, although when he was fighting side by side, the equipment was nothing special, but there were two things that his poles could never compare, that is, first, if he had 10,000 poles, it would definitely be a young and strong pole without an old man and child, and second, his Lu Shi's pole had something that he had absolutely no such thing - spirit and spirit, that thing was invisible, but it was definitely more terrible than knives and guns, and Lu Shi relied on this in Mizhi, fighting the officers and the army, fighting the alliance, and ruining their own big things.
Non-sticky mud is love and hate for Lu Shi, in Mizhi, not only thank him for his grace to relieve himself when he is in danger, but he hates even more deeply that he ruined his big things at a critical time, so that not only did he not get the large amount of money and food he deserved, but also let himself, in vain, lose countless old brothers who have followed him for many years, especially after this battle, let his strength be completely weakened and difficult to recover, even Gao Yingxiang, a horse bandit, can bully himself, point fingers at himself, and become his subordinate of a backward boy, otherwise, The one who stands in front of the battle and is full of ambition should be himself.
Although he did not stick to the mud, he went south to compete with Lu Shi, but these words were not said, not because of selfishness, but because no one would believe it, and he would be ridiculed and laughed at by those pickled things again, why bother?
After Gao Yingxiang asked people to shout at the fortress, he stopped in front of the horse formation, waiting for the pole in this fortress to come out with men and horses to surrender.
He is now beginning to think about whether he should dismount and show his posture as a corporal of courtesy when he surrenders, or should he stand tall on the horse and suppress these latecomers in terms of momentum and establish his absolute authority?
Time is slowly spent in this waiting, seeing that the sun has been slanting westward, and the fortress has not yet opened the door to accept the meaning of surrender, Gao Yingxiang is a little anxious, because the fortress can wait, but he Gao Yingxiang can't wait, hundreds of thousands of troops go south, although the personnel have increased a lot, but the most needed food for the army has almost nothing, because along the way, Suide has come to a strong wall and clear the field, the county has not yet been defeated, and the extension of Yanchuan several times has allowed the official army to receive the ground three feet, and there is no supplement. The food in his army has been exhausted, dinner is already a big problem, and he can only survive by rushing into the four counties of Weinan as soon as possible, how can he continue to consume it like this?
Gao Yingxiang thought of this, impatiently raised the horsewhip, and said impatiently to Cao Shen'er: "You run to the city again, I will give him another stick of incense time, if you don't open the city to surrender, I will attack, when the time comes, when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left, and the stones will be knives." ”
"Order, King Da Chuang." Cao Shen'er heard that he could slaughter the city, and he was overjoyed at that time, slaughtering the city, which was what he was most willing to do. Zun Sheng ordered the horse to step forward again, and suddenly heard the brothers around him cheering together: "The city is open, the city is open, the pole is lowered." ”
Gao Yingxiang and Cao Shen'er looked up with the shouting, and couldn't help but feel ecstasy, Lu Shi really opened the city.
The tall fortress, the two huge gates that had not yet had time to be painted, were slowly opened inside, followed by the sound of monotonous waist drums. Although the drum sound is monotonous, it is also a kind of welcome, it seems that the pole here is lowered, and Gao Yingxiang let out a long breath, Cao Shen'er spat on the ground, and muttered in disappointment: "Fuck, plant one." ”
But the pole that came out made the happy brothers stunned for a while, but saw that in the wide city gate, with the sound of waist drums, a team, a column of fierce soldiers wrapped in strange black clothes and black armor, holding snow bright guns, walked out sonorously, just in front of this thousands of troops, unhurriedly stepping on the drum beat of the waist drum, lined up along the front of the fortress city. That momentum suppressed the 100,000 people on his side at that time.
When they were lined up in the whole team, on the top of the fortress, countless heads suddenly appeared, holding a large bow as high, winding up the giant arrows like poisonous snakes, staring at themselves, and there were two battles from far and near poking out a bed crossbow, on the thick crossbow arrows, there were burdens tied, and after counting down, there were as many as thirty.
Is this a pole? Is this really the pole in my impression? Did the imperial court send the Ouchi Forbidden Army?
Just when everyone was panicked and at a loss, the black-armored soldiers under the city suddenly raised their spears diagonally and shouted to the 100,000 army: "For the father and the elder behind you, fight to the death and never retreat, kill, kill, kill." ”
Gao Yingxiang and the other war horses were shocked by this firm and powerful shout and took a few steps back, barely stabilizing the formation, Gao Yingxiang knew that this was not a surrender, this was an invitation to fight.
