Chapter 36: Shang Jingshi
"Major General!" The sentinel came to report the salute.
"Speak!" A mighty young man sat on a war horse and said, this person is Wang Er's righteous son: Pei Chao.
"Young General, the battalions of our righteous army have taken advantage of the great victory in the past two days, and have continuously subdued most of the village forts in Suide, and the rest are looking forward to the wind, and now only a few village forts are still defending according to the forts." Sentinel returns.
"Humph!" The young general Pei Chao snorted coldly: "The righteous father led the main force to Fugu to gather with the heroes of the world to form an alliance, taking advantage of his old man's absence, this general wants to unify the entire territory of Suide, notify the generals of each battalion, and those who dare not surrender will be killed!" ”
"Yes!"
The next day, outside the fort in the village of Muzhuang.
"Report! Big things are wrong! "Zhuang Ding came to report.
"What's the panic?" Shang Zuning frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Take your time. ”
"Yes!" Zhuang Ding Shili said: "A large number of rebels were found ten miles outside the village, and there were thousands of them. ”
"Humph! What should have come is still coming. Shang Zuning gritted his teeth and said: "Ring the bell, gather troops, kick the city, and prepare for battle!" ”
"Yes!" Zhuang Ding strode back.
"Uncle!" A young man got up and said, "Let my nephew lead the attendants to meet the bandits!" ”
"No, it's too dangerous." Shang Zuning said: "I don't have a younger brother anymore, I can't let him break off anymore, now you are the last seedling of my business, you can't afford to lose it, you can defend the city with me!" ”
"Uncle!" The boy said loudly.
"If I say no, I can't!" Shang Zuning said with a cold face: "If you are obedient, I can also let you participate in the defense of the city, if not, I will order you to be locked up." After speaking, he walked out quickly with a group of personal soldiers.
"Alas!" The boy punched the tea table.
"Smack!" The tea table cracked.
The walls of Muzhuang.
"See the owner!" The directors at all levels have been waiting on the wall of the wooden village early, and they have seen the owners of the village stepping on the city.
"No courtesy." Shang Zuning nodded and said, "Have the people outside the village been evacuated?" ”
"Back to the owner, as soon as he received the information, he had already ordered him to go down, in order to prevent the refugees from mixing with the spies, he did not open the city to let the refugees take refuge in the city." Liu Shangzhi said: "All the refugees have been transferred to the Gaobai Mountains. ”
"Hmm." Shang Zuning nodded silently and then asked, "Are the defensive materials such as rolling wood, thunder stones, and hot oil in place?" ”
"Back to the owner, everything is ready, but the time is in a hurry, and there is not much hot oil to prepare." Liu Shangzhi replied.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Suddenly, the roar of the bandit army advancing came from far and near outside the city.
Shang Zuning leaned over and looked down, only to see that there were more than 20 phalanxes under the city, tiled outside the city of Muzhuang, and the momentum was overwhelming.
"Phew! Hearken, the ruler of the city! At this time, the bandit army rushed out in front of the formation and shouted: "I am Cheng Guangfeng, the former general of the righteous army, and I am specially ordered by the former general to recruit and surrender, and those who open the city to surrender will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with 100 gold!" Now give you a quarter of an hour to think about the time, if it doesn't fall, the day the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not stay! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! As soon as Cheng Guangfeng's words fell, the rebel soldiers behind him opened their mouths and drank together.
"Humph!" Shang Jingshi snorted coldly, bent his bow and arrows, "Whoosh!" He went straight to Cheng Guangfeng's door.
"Oops!" Cheng Guangfeng is not simple, his head is short enough to avoid the vital point, but the helmet was still shot over by an arrow, the bun was scattered, and when he raised his head again, a trace of blood flowed down his forehead, Cheng Guangfeng reached out and touched it, and it turned out that the arrow had cut a piece of the scalp.
"Kill me!" Cheng Guangfeng let out an angry roar and hurriedly hit his horse and returned to the formation.
"Kill!" Five phalanxes carrying ladders followed the streets reserved for the refugee camp and attacked the walls of Muzhuang.
"Meet the enemy!" Shang Zuning shouted.
"Archer prepare!" Zong Jie shouted loudly.
"Drink!" Muzhuang's well-trained archers lined up in two rows behind the walls, the first row bent their bows and arrows, waiting for orders.
"Shoot!" Zong Jie gave the order to attack.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
"Ahh
"Oops!"
"Shoot again!" Zong Jie shouted.
The archers in the first row retreated after shooting, leaving a place for the archers in the second row, and the second row stepped forward to shoot after the order, and then quickly withdrew after the completion of the order, and so on, the bow and arrow formed an endless trend, and the arrows rained down under the city, and when the five phalanxes rushed to the city, the loss had reached as much as 20%, and the bandit army had a tendency to collapse.
"Kill!" Suddenly, five phalanxes rushed up from the bandit army again, and the first echelon, which was about to collapse, was full of energy again, set up a ladder, and rushed to the city with a simple shield.
"Thunderstone ready!" Zhang Qinghai shouted: "Vote! ”
"Long! Prosperous! Prosperous! Zhuang Ding, who was in the front row of the Zhuang wall, smashed the thunder stone in his hand towards the climbing bandits.
"Ahh
"Help!" Many bandits were hit by thunderstones, fell from the ladder, and the salvo of the archers has been changed to free fire.
"Archer, cover!" Cheng Guangfeng saw that the vanguard troops had messed up the cityhead troops, so he ordered, these archers are Cheng Guangfeng's secret weapons, they are all good marksman, and they can often receive miraculous results when they are collected and used in one place, which is why he can save quickly and get the relatives of the major general.
The bandit army mobilized two hundred archers at once, and the general command of the bandit army below concentrated the bow and arrow to cover the east side of the city wall, where is the weak link in the defense of Muzhuang, and when the order was given, the bow and arrow were shot towards the city, and for a time the Zhuang Ding on the city was suppressed and could not raise his head, and many Zhuang Ding who leaned out and threw thunder stones under the city fell from the top of the city wall with arrows.
"Kill!" The "rebels" who were besieging the city underground were supported by archers from a distance, and they rushed towards the city with a howl.
"The eastern wall!" Shang Jingshi's eyes were sharp, and when he found the crisis, he shouted loudly: "Follow me!" ”
"Yes!" He had a squire under his command, who had been training with him for many years, all of them were skilled in archers and horses, and when he gave an order, he was like a vicious tiger out of his cage and swooped down on the eastern wall.
The righteous army is constantly pouring up from under the city, tearing the gap here, this small section of the city wall, has been stained red with blood, Zhuang Ding and the righteous army repeatedly fight for the control of this section of the city wall, the righteous army climbed to the top of the city, for a time the morale was greatly boosted, all of them scrambled to be the first, and the Zhuang Ding were defeated and retreated.
"Kill!" At the time of crisis, Shang Jingshi suddenly killed, only to see a long knife in his hand, dancing vigorously, the knife did not leave the vital point, the bandits were either dead or wounded, broken hands and feet, and the attendants behind him also fought bravely to be the first, for a time like a tiger into the flock, the bandits were killed crying father and mother, and retreated again and again.
"Gather the archers and shoot them in the back!" Shang Jingshi shouted, and soon more than a dozen archers were transferred over, and they bent their bows and arrows from the rear to the battle circle freely, which brought a huge threat to the bandits who rushed to the city wall, many bandits were injured by arrows, and their combat effectiveness plummeted.
"Ahh
"Run!" The bandits who finally rushed to the head of the city couldn't resist the fear, they retreated one after another, and retreated along the ladder, some of them who escaped late were forced by Shang Jingshi, and actually turned around and jumped off the city wall, and they didn't dare to face Shang Jingshi, who was covered in blood like a butcher.
