Chapter 174: Joining Forces in the Green Forest

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu looked at the man who took the lead, then looked at the others, and asked, "Are you all together?" ”

The man at the head said: "Yes, General Liu, we are all from the Green Forest Army!" ”

Liu Xiu's heart moved, and said, "Green Forest Army? Which Green Forest Army? ”

"Xiajiang Army!"

"Xiajiang Army? Why did you get to Nanyang? "General Liu, since the Xinshi Army and the Pinglin Army were defeated, they have merged with our Xiajiang Army. Now, the Green Forest Army brothers in Xiajiang, Xinshi, and Pinglin have become one. Some time ago, we went to Nanyang to rescue those trapped in Chaoyangyi

As a result, the trapped brothers were successfully rescued by us, but because of the broken relationship, we did not escape and were captured by the Chaoyang County soldiers. ”

The man at the head said with a flushed face. Although it was said that there was a reason for the incident, he was captured by the county soldiers after all, which is not easy to say.

Liu Xiu asked, "This brother, what's your name?" ”

"General Liu, in the Tibetan Palace, the word Junweng!"

Tibetan Palace, Tibetan Monarch! Liu Xiuxiao asked, "Do you know my purpose for saving you out?" ”

"General Liu wants us to participate in the defense of the city!"

"You have fought with the soldiers of Chaoyang County, you should know very well the combat power of the soldiers of Chaoyang County!"

Zanggong nodded, and Zhengse said: "The combat power of the Chaoyang County soldiers is not inferior to the Nanyang County Army!" ”

"So you're still willing to work with us?"

"Follow General Liu together, we can still have a way to live, stay in the prison, we only have a dead end."

"Staying in Da Solid is a dead end, but at least it won't die immediately, so you're not afraid of being killed by me?"

"I trust General Liu!"

Hearing this, Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Do you know me?" Zanggong grinned and said, "General Liu, as I said just now, the Lvlin brothers in Xinshi, Pinglin, and Xiajiang have been merged into one family. I heard General Wang Feng mention General Liu, and if it wasn't for General Liu to help, General Wang Feng would have too

If you can't escape from Xinshi, I'm afraid you will die in the hands of the county army! "I see!" No wonder the Tibetan Palace so simply expressed its willingness to work with him, it turned out that there was a relationship between Wang Feng and Wang Feng. Liu Xiu looked at the people behind the Tibetan Palace again, and the Tibetan Palace immediately said, "General Liu, don't worry, these are all following."

My brothers who were born and died, I am willing to follow General Liu, and they must be willing! ”

Liu Xiu smiled and arched his hand and said, "With the help of all the brothers in the green forest, we have a dozen in this battle!" ”

Zanggong hurriedly returned the salute, and then Zhengse said: "Among the soldiers of Chaoyang County, the cavalry is the most brave and the strongest in combat power, but in city battles, the cavalry is of little use, which is beneficial to us." ”

Liu Xiu raised his head and said, "Let's go to the city to talk first!" ”

"Good!"

Liu Xiu took more than 200 death row prisoners, first went to the baggage warehouse in the city, selected some weapons to take advantage of, and then everyone went straight to the southern city wall where the Lingling army was located.

On the way, Liu Xiu told the Tibetan Palace and others in detail about the city defense battle that had just ended.

After listening to Liu Xiu's narration, the Tibetan Palace was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect that in the siege battle, the Chaoyang cavalry could also play such a big role. He muttered: "It seems that I still underestimated the Chaoyang cavalry before!" ”

Liu Xiu sighed: "Chaoyang County Lieutenant Xie Sheng is by no means an idle person!" "It's a pity that this person is dedicated to helping Wang Mang do things, and he can't be used by his own side, otherwise, he will definitely be a big help to his side.

They climbed the city wall and joined Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Feng Yi and others. After Liu Xiu introduced the identities of the Tibetan Palace and others, Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Feng Yi and others were all overjoyed. The people of the Green Forest Army can be regarded as experienced in battle, although there are less than two hundred people, but without any training, they can go directly to the battlefield if they pick up arms, and they are all beaten as death row prisoners, obviously rebelling against the will of the imperial court

Zhizhi is very firm.

The Chungling army of more than 200 people, plus more than 200 death row prisoners, a total of more than 400 people, compared to Xie Sheng outside the city, they have not suffered in terms of numbers.

However, Xie Sheng did not attack the city again, and the county cavalry and county infantry have been guarding outside the city.

When it was almost evening, the main force of the county soldiers led by Yi Zhen arrived in Chaoyang.

This county soldier is crowded, and there must be more than 2,000 people, to say the least. The county soldiers lined up outside the city, opened their posture, and put on a posture of forcibly attacking the city.

Standing at the head of the city, the Tibetan Palace walked to Liu Xiu's side, looked at the enemy army outside the city, and then looked at the burning clouds in the sky, he frowned and asked, "General Liu, should the county soldiers want to attack the city overnight?" ”

Attacking a city at night is not good for the attacking side.

Liu Xiu narrowed her eyes and said quietly: "It's hard to say! In the battle during the day, Xie Sheng has already figured out the strength of our troops, and now that the main force of the county soldiers has arrived, if it were me, I would choose to attack the city overnight! ”

The difference in the strength of the two sides is too great, the county soldiers have nearly 3,000 troops, while the Chungling army in the city is only about 200 people, and the difference in strength is more than ten times, which is enough to make up for all the unfavorable factors of the attacking side.

was really right by Liu Xiu, and the county soldiers really chose to attack the city overnight.

It's just that the siege of the county soldiers is not a blind attack with their heads stuffed, the county soldiers are divided into several teams of soldiers and horses, of which there are three teams, approaching the city wall of the south where Liu Xiu and others are located, and the other teams are detouring to the east and west cities of Chaoyang.

Obviously, the tactics used by the county soldiers were to divide their forces and attack the city. Because the defender's troops are too small, it is impossible to defend the four cities of Chaoyang, southeast, northwest and northwest, and there must be many loopholes.

The multi-directional siege of the detachment can not only seize the defensive gaps more quickly, but also further disperse the defenders' forces. Seeing that three teams of county soldiers went straight to Nancheng, two teams of county soldiers went around the east city, and the other three teams of county soldiers went around to the west, Feng Yi immediately made a decision, turned his head and said: "The lord needs to take two hundred brothers to guard the west city!" Zhonghua and Ziling, you two take a hundred brothers to guard the east

City, I will take a hundred brothers and stay in the south city! ”

Liu Xiu frowned and said: "Gongsun, there are a lot of county soldiers attacking Nancheng, I think Nancheng is still the enemy's main attack, Nancheng needs to leave two hundred brothers here, I will take one hundred brothers to Xicheng!" ”

"Lord ......"

Feng Yi was about to speak, but Liu Xiu waved his hand at him and said in a deep voice: "There's no time, Gongsun, you have to listen to me this time!" As he spoke, he said urgently: "Ziwei and Junweng follow me!" A hundred brothers, choose from among your brothers in the green forest! ”

"Yes!" Without saying a word, the Tibetan Palace turned around and shouted out the names of several people to his brothers, and said, "Take your brothers and follow me to Xicheng!" ”

Zhu You and Gai Yan said in unison: "Lord, I'll go to Xicheng with you!" ”

"No! You have to stay in Nancheng and help Gongsun defend the city!" "Liu Xiu can't take all the elites away, otherwise, even if he leaves two hundred brothers for Feng Yi, it won't be of much use.

Feng Yi formulated corresponding countermeasures, Liu Xiu made slight modifications, and then he took Fu Jun, the Tibetan Palace, and a hundred Green Forest Army, and went straight to Xicheng.

The three teams of county soldiers who bypassed Xicheng really launched an attack here in Xicheng. Liu Xiu and others, who arrived in Xicheng first, immediately launched a counterattack on the county soldiers who were besieging the city.

Chaoyang County Commander Yi Zhen and County Lieutenant Xie Sheng, are both capable people, after the incident of the Chungling Army, although Chaoyang is not near Chungling, but has been preparing for war, a large number of rolling wood, gravel stored on the city, in case of emergency.

As a result, now, their advance preparations have helped Liu Xiu and the others a lot, and there is no need to go back to the city to collect rolling wood and stones, there are many ready-made ones on the city.

A hundred Green Forest Army, led by Liu Xiu, lifted the rolling wood and stones and smashed them at the county soldiers under the city.

The offensive of the first team of county soldiers had just been suppressed, and the county soldiers of the second team attacked again, and the Green Forest Army had not yet repelled the county soldiers of the second team, and the third team of county soldiers came again.

Three teams of county soldiers, totaling more than 1,000 people, launched a joint attack, even if the defense of Chaoyang City is high and strong, and there are many weapons to defend the city, it is not something that a hundred people can resist. Soon, some county soldiers tore through the defense line of Xicheng and climbed up along the rope. Seeing this, the Tibetan Palace was in a hurry, holding a large hammer, rushed over quickly, smashed the hammer down, and heard a snap, just poking its head out of the arrow stack

The county soldier, with his head blooming, fell straight down.

The weapon used in the Tibetan Palace is Zimu, but when he was captured, the weapon was seized by the county soldiers, and he had just been rescued from the prison, and there was nowhere to find his weapon, so he picked a sledgehammer in the baggage warehouse.

This sledgehammer, from the hammer handle to the hammer head, is made of pure iron, and the weight must weigh more than 100 catties, but in the hands of the Tibetan Palace, the sledgehammer is as light as nothing.

He hammered one by one, smashing down the county soldiers who poked their heads out of the arrow stacks one after another. However, he alone could not defend an entire city wall, nor could he resist so many county soldiers.

Soon, some county soldiers jumped on the head of the city and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders at the head of the city. Seeing that the number of county soldiers attacking this section of the city wall was increasing, Liu Xiu carried the Chixiao Sword and rushed over.

Before the man arrived, the sword came first. A county soldier who had just jumped to the top of the city didn't even see what was going on, only saw a red light flying towards him.

Burst! The Chixiao sword was driven into the chest of the county soldier, who took two steps back and fell on his back. Liu Xiu followed, and in a moment of walking, he pulled out the Chixiao sword, and swung forward, and the blade of the sword slashed the neck of a county soldier. As soon as Liu Xiu came up, he killed two people in a row, and the nearby county soldiers saw this and attacked him with swords. Liu Xiu shouted, swung his sword and swept, dangdang, with two crisp sounds, the two long swords that stabbed at him were bounced away, Liu Xiu took a step forward and held the sword

Swept.

Click, click! The necks of the two county soldiers were severed, and two heads with helmets fell to the ground.

A county soldier in the crowd quietly took off the crossbow machine, aimed it at Liu Xiu, and pulled the hanging knife. Syllable! The crossbow bolt shot out of the crossbow box and went straight to Liu Xiu's front door. At such a close distance, and such a chaotic scene, if it were someone else, I am afraid that it would really be impossible to dodge, but Liu Xiu, who has six knowledge, turned his head to the side at the last moment, and the crossbow arrow cut a hole in his cheek, whistling

And over. Liu Xiu felt that her cheeks were cold at first, and then hot liquid flowed down. He gritted his teeth and threw out the Chixiao Sword in his hand directly.
