At the mention of their king, all the sergeants became excited, as if the wounds on their bodies no longer hurt.

"There is also the method of pouring water quilts on King Chuang, you said that it was just such a simple method, and it became an invulnerable weapon, why didn't I think of it after living so big?" A soldier hugged a spear and said enviously.

"Cut, who are you? Who is King Chuang? If you want to think about it, are you still you? King Chuang is the reincarnation of the King of Heaven, anything in the hands of our King Chuang, it will become a weapon to kill the enemy, you just learn something. Another soldier beside him sucked in the cold air, pulled out an arrow and threw it on the ground without looking, and cut him with disdain.

Cao Meng laughed, cut, this word is also the mantra of King Chuang, now all the bases regardless of men and women, when they despise each other, they are all cuts, so in the conversation, it is cut words flying all over the sky, and it has also become a landscape, about the drenched quilt——。

Wait, drenching the quilt, Cao Meng's heart moved, turned his head to look at the enemy formation with a bright bonfire, don't let the enemy see the shortcomings of our rattan armor afraid of fire, let's have a rocket siege, no, we have to prepare the quilt immediately to prepare, don't mess up the formation when you are concerned.

Just thinking about it, a white figure came to him, Cao Meng immediately stood up, looked at the sad face of the Lady Army Captain, took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to ask, "How is it?" Are the casualties counted? ”

"The statistics are out." As soon as his voice sank, Cao Meng reached out to hold her cold little hand and whispered, "Say it, this is reality." ”

The squad leader didn't pull out his hand, so he let Cao Meng hold it. He said in a low voice: "In the middle of the night, after our sisters' all-out treatment, there are still two hundred and seventy-one brothers left, and there are still fifty knives and guns that can no longer be held. The rest were almost all wounded. ”

There was silence in the city, and almost everyone knew about the result. A seriously wounded man lying under the secondary wall, almost covered with white cotton cloth, stood up with difficulty, and said loudly to Cao Meng: "Brother Cao Meng, don't worry, I can still fight, I can't use a gun, but I still have teeth, I still have this body, even if the enemy comes up, I can still fight the enemy down the city." ”

Several more seriously wounded soldiers also struggled to their feet, expressing the same wish.

Looking at the brothers with firm eyes, Cao Meng's tears slipped down his rough face uncontrollably, his voice choked, and the squad leader pulled out his hand and naturally wiped the tears on Cao Meng's face with his sleeve. It's as gentle as a lover wiping his injured lover.

Cao Meng stretched out his hand to hold the hand, turned around and stood side by side with the team leader, facing all the brothers on the city wall, and said in a deep voice: "Do you regret today's decision? ”

No one spoke, but their resolute faces confessed their thoughts.

"We probably won't be able to wait for our reinforcements, are you afraid?" The squad leader asked again.

It was still the immobile figure or those resolute faces, and the language had become pale and weak.

"We may never see that fiery morning sun again, do you regret it?"

is still a solemn expression, clenched with a gun.

"We may never see the Datong world that King Chuang described for us again, and we will no longer see our children and grandchildren, the laughter and laughter in that heaven-like Datong world, do you regret it?"

There was a look of yearning on everyone's faces.

"That Datong world will not fall from the sky by himself, he wants us to exchange our lives for it, are you willing?"

The body is all tall and tall.

Cao Meng suddenly shouted loudly with all his might: "Then let's be the first batch of people to die for." ”

looked at all the brothers who could be seen, "I hope we are the first to die, but it will definitely not be the last, that it will take thousands of people like you and my brother to go forward and die willingly, and it will take thousands of brothers like us, under the leadership of King Chuang, under the light of the glory of the King of Heaven, to use our lives and blood to achieve the great harmony of the world." ”

took a deep breath and said resolutely: "I firmly believe that as long as King Chuang is here, I firmly believe that our great harmony will be realized, I firmly believe in it, and I am convinced of this." ”

All of them said in a low but firm voice, "We firmly believe, we believe in it." ”

Cao Meng suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "Come, brothers and sisters, let us chant our slogan of faith, let all the people on that battlefield know our faith, let them know that we are invincible, we are invincible." ”

All the people turned their bodies to the outside of the city in unison, and shouted at the people watching the battle on the high mountain, and at the officers and soldiers above and below the city of Ganquan; "Don't abandon, don't give up, follow one another. Fight to the death for the parents behind you, kill, kill, kill. ”

When Zhang Yuan and Qianhu were reorganizing their army and preparing for battle, suddenly there was a roar like rolling thunder from the small fortress, Zhang Yuan and Qianhu couldn't help but shudder when they heard it, and when they looked at each other, they both saw the horror in each other's eyes.

Such a bandit must be extinguished while he is weak, how terrible will it be once he grows stronger?

But can we extinguish him? All people don't have faith in that.

Hearing this shout, everyone in the mountains watched the battle, and everyone's psychology changed, and those who rode the wall went back to report the news, hoping that their masters could choose carefully, and those who opposed it also went back one by one with trembling and reported their feelings to their masters.

Cao Meng finished boosting his morale, in this rare battle gap, counted his own city defense equipment, the inventory couldn't help but make people frustrated, the ice was less than one-fifth of the reserves, there were only twenty left in the city defense shot, and there were twenty-eight explosives bags, this is the last life-saving magic weapon, it is easy to move, and the others are gone.

And his own soldiers, counting those masters who actively seek to fight, can now only fight more than 250 people, and those masters have not been systematically trained, and they do not cooperate with each other at all, and they are all wounded and exhausted.

Look at the enemy outside the city is a large area of black pressure, if you count the number of signing, there are still four thousand, that is twenty times the difference, this gap for a normal war ratio, the weaker side, there is only a dead end, now, it depends on those cavalry brothers outside the city, I hope they will give themselves a help when defending the city is the most dangerous.

But with only two hundred cavalry brothers to deal with four or five thousand enemy troops, but also can only disrupt the enemy's offensive steps, and it will not play a big role, any tricks will collapse in the face of absolute strength, King Chuang is right, when the enemy is strong and I am weak, concentrate superior forces on one point, and a breakthrough is the king, but now it is also verifying King Chuang's theory, he resisted the main force of the official army to encircle and suppress the army with five hundred partial troops, and let King Chuang have the opportunity to gather superior forces to gather and annihilate Li Yuanhao's cavalry, That's what we people deserved.

Zhang Yuan also cheered up again, began to rectify the people, and started the next decisive battle, and the victory was a great boost to the army's might, and this Ganquan once again escaped the clutches of the bandits, and the defeat was just a loss of some cheap lives of this countryman.

But no matter what, Zhang Yuan has achieved his goal, that is, to train out a blood-seeked army, given time, with these blood-seekers as the backbone, with the gold and silver donated from all over the country and their own family funds, it is not difficult to build a strong army, see that the army is complete, and is about to launch, that Chen family's disciple Xiao Qi stepped forward again and suggested: "Brother, Lord Qianhu, this battle is attacking the city, and the subordinates have a plan to offer, I don't know if I should talk about it or not." “

"Brother, let's listen to the Lord of the Thousand Households." Zhang Yuan is now more and more optimistic about this humble and knowledgeable brother who generally understands advance and retreat, this brother can be compared with the seventeenth brother, but he is a talent that can be created.

Qianhu also looked at this humble and studious Chen family child, after half a day and half a night of getting along, he can be regarded as one of his teachers, for such an outstanding student, that Qianhu is also old, and also knows that this kid has some ideas, so he said kindly: "Speaking of which, don't be afraid of making mistakes, let's all refer to it." ”

With encouragement, in the envious eyes of the ordinary brothers, the children of the Chen family said cautiously: "Lord Qianhu, elder brother, why don't we attack the Black Tiger Thief Fortress with fire?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately got a boo, don't you look at it, the fortress of the black tiger thief is all made of ice water, and the cannon can't do anything, let alone the little rocket? Besides, the fortress has a canopy on top of it, and it is also a thick layer of ice for white flowers, even if there happens to be a rocket into the city, but there are not many flammable things in the city, and you can't light much fire at all, isn't your idea a waste of energy? Can't you make it impossible for us brothers to eat dry food for nothing?

Zhang Yuan and Qianhu didn't think so, since it was this careful Chen family brother who raised this question, he must have his opinion, Zhang Yuan encouraged: "Tell me your thoughts and evidence." ”

"So that my brother and Senno-sama know, I observed the enemy's protection methods, and every time we shoot arrows, the thief raises a rattan sign to cover the roof and the secondary wall, so our bows and arrows don't have much effect, so I think—"

"Ahh Zhang Yuan and the thousand households clapped their hands excitedly, and laughed: "Why didn't I think of such a simple truth? Or brother, you are careful, this time the thief, the brother will take the first credit. ”

"Yes, no matter how difficult it is to resist this time, it will definitely be broken. Hahaha. The thousand households also burst out laughing.

Everyone was staring at each other inexplicably, why did this brother get the first credit for breaking the thief in half a sentence? It's a little easier.

"You still don't understand?" Zhang Yuan hated that iron could not become steel and said: "The rattan armor is afraid of fire, this is common sense, I think Zhuge Liang once burned the rattan army, haven't you heard such an old-fashioned story?" Even if the thieves discarded the burning rattan signs, they would have been left unprotected and suffered heavy casualties under our dense rain of arrows. That's why I said that Brother Chen can get the first credit. ”

At that time, everyone was speechless, and they all secretly hated themselves for not paying attention, how could they not think of such a small detail, they were given great merit by being in vain, and the eyes of the brothers were different, some were envious and some were happy, but more were jealous.

The children of the Chen family pretended not to see these eyes, and closed their noses and mouths to think about their own affairs.

Zhang Yuan got the prompt of the little seven brothers, solicited the opinions of thousands of households, and immediately began to arrange, with the order, a team of signators immediately brought a brazier and put it in front of those archers who had already stood neatly, one by one tied with cotton and then soaked in oil arrow feathers were distributed to the eyes of the archers, the blazing brazier reflected the hideous faces, with the twenty-sided drum sounding again, the archers lit the rocket arrows in the brazier, and shot at the lonely fortress like a silver-armored god.
