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

For a long time, Nanyang County has had an attitude towards the family members of the Zhutian Capital Department, kill!

The officials looked at each other, involuntarily put the things in their hands on the ground, and looked at Liu Xiu one by one.

Liu Xiu looked around at everyone present and said loudly: "In this battle, we can't escape, and we can't escape, whether it's public or private, we have to resist the reckless army outside Xinye City!" ”

Seeing that everyone was moved by Liu Xiu's words, Liu Tong rubbed his hands anxiously, and escaped one person, at least one more person could survive, and fought against the Mang army, I am afraid that none of them will survive. He was about to speak, when Liu Xiu shouted: "This battle, at best, we are fighting for the Zhutian Capital, and at worst, we are fighting to protect our families!" If all our families are dead, what's the point of us living alone? today

I, Liu Xiu, will fight side by side with all my brothers, either live together or die together! ”

"Live or die together!" The officials drew their swords from their ribs one after another, and the crowd was excited, shouting in unison.

"Everybody come with me!" As he spoke, Liu Xiu walked towards the outside of the county office, and all the officials followed.

Liu Tong ran forward and blocked Liu Xiu's way, his head was full of sweat beads, and he shouted in a low voice: "Ah Xiu, are you crazy?" Just a few people, how to fight the reckless army? ”

Liu Xiu took a step forward, walked up to Liu Tong, and said: "Brother Tong, I only know that when 'there is still a glimmer of life in the war, and if you don't fight, you will die', you can only choose to fight to the death!" ”

When Liu Tong heard this, he gasped. Liu Xiu said: "If Brother Tong wants to leave, then hurry up and go to my eldest brother for rescue." ”

"I ......"

"If Brother Tong doesn't want to leave, then organize manpower in the city as soon as possible, carry all the rolling wood and stones onto the city wall, and consolidate the city defense!" After speaking, Liu Xiu patted Liu Tong on the shoulder and walked past him.

The more than 100 officials behind followed Liu Xiu, left the county government together, and went straight to the north city where the Mang army appeared.

Liu Tong's face changed, and finally he stomped his foot hard, turned around and ran towards the lobby, writing the mobilization paperwork.

Liu Xiu refused to leave, how could he escape alone? If he really did this, including Liu Xuan, everyone in the Zhutian Capital would not let him go.

Let's say that Liu Xiu and his entourage took more than 100 officials to Beicheng and gathered with Zhu You and others. At present, all of them together are less than two hundred, including one hundred elite soldiers and more than eighty servants.

Looking out of the city, there were indeed more than 1,000 enemy troops.

Look at the banner of the Mang army, there is a big flag with a big '淯' character written on it. Seeing this banner clearly, Liu Xiu frowned and blurted out: "Could it be that the enemy is a soldier from Shuyang County?" ”

Zhu You's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "No, lord, the eldest brother asked Deng Feng to lead two thousand troops to attack Shuyang!" "The county soldiers of Shuyang should defend Shuyang City now, how could they suddenly run to Xinye? Liu Xiu's eyes rolled, and he knew it in his heart, and said quietly: "The person who led this army of Huaiyang County soldiers was not simple, he saw that our army was menacing, and it was difficult for Huayang to hold on, so he found another way, took the Huaiyang County soldiers, gave up defending the city, and directly bypassed the left front army

, sneak attack on Shinno in the rear of our army! ”

This move avoids the enemy's edge, the sword goes sideways, and the tactic of attacking the enemy's soft underbelly is very powerful, at least it greatly exceeds his own expectations.

Liu Xiu's speculation was correct, the reckless army that suddenly appeared in Xinye was the soldiers of Shuyang County led by the order of Shuyang County.

In the battle on the east bank of Shuyang, not only did the county army suffer heavy losses, but the soldiers of Shuyang County also killed as many as one or two thousand people, including the county lieutenants of Shuyang County.

At present, there are more than 1,000 county soldiers in Shuyang City, most of them are temporary recruits, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. In the case of knowing that there was no way to fight, he decisively chose to abandon the defense of Huaiyang, personally led all the county soldiers of Huaiyang, and bypassed on the west bank of the river to avoid the edge of Deng Fengyi.

The god suddenly appeared in Shinno without realizing it.

Fei Jun calculated very clearly, now that the Zhutian Capital is pouring out of the nest, Xinye must be empty, and his own side is taken by surprise, taking advantage of the weakness, and the possibility of capturing Xinye is extremely great.

In addition, if you take Xinye, you can also deal a fatal blow to the main force of the Zhutian capital, and even have the opportunity to annihilate the Zhutian rebels in one fell swoop.

Fei Jun calculated well, but he missed one person, Liu Xiu, who was recuperating from injuries in Xinye.

After climbing to the top of the city and seeing the strength of the Mang army, Liu Xiu called Zhu You and said: "Wait for the Mang army to attack the city, Ayou, you lead a hundred personal soldiers to resist at the head of the city, and I will lead the army to go out of the city to fight!" ”

Zhu You gasped and said urgently: "Lord, are you going out of the city to fight?" Liu Xiu nodded and said: "The enemy is outnumbered, with our current people, we can't disperse the defense of the city, but the enemy's strength can be scattered to attack the city, we must find a way to concentrate the enemy in one place, so that they can't divide it."

Scattered siege city! ”

Zhu You Zhengse said: "I understand! The lord can stay at the head of the city to defend the city, and I will go out of the city to attract the enemy army!" Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "A hundred soldiers, all equipped with crossbow arrows, they stay in the city, in order to exert the greatest combat power, then the only one who goes out of the city to fight is the officer, if you want to let the officer have the courage to go out of the city to fight, only I personally take them."

Yes! ”

The officials are not soldiers, they do not have such a strong fighting spirit and sense of responsibility, and the reason why they are willing to stay and defend the city now is just to protect their families in the city.

If there is no person with great prestige to lead them and unite them, not to mention that they do not have the courage to go out of the city to fight, even if they have this courage, when they really fight the enemy, they will be crushed in one blow and will not have any effect.

Zhu You said with a worried face: "But this is too dangerous!" Moreover, the wounds of the lord have not yet healed! ”

Liu Xiu smiled at him and said lightly: "My body, I know it in my heart, Ayu can rest assured!" ”

As they spoke, trumpets sounded in the camp of the reckless army outside the city.

Immediately afterwards, more than 1,000 soldiers from Shuyang County began to advance in unison, heading straight for the north gate of Xinye.

Seeing this, the soldiers standing on the head of the city raised their crossbow machines one after another, and the edges of the crossbow arrows were unanimously aimed at the enemy troops outside the city.

Liu Xiu ordered: "Wait for the enemy army to be thirty steps away from the city before releasing arrows!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the heralds present conveyed Liu Xiu's order.

The lethality of crossbow arrows is greater than that of bows and arrows, but it has a fatal shortcoming, the arrows are unstable when flying in the air, and the farther the distance, the greater the deviation, so crossbow arrows are mostly used as weapons of close range destruction, long-range killing, or bow and arrow.

There were no archers among the soldiers, and the servants did not know how to use bows and arrows, and now the only thing they could shoot the enemy was crossbow arrows.

After the reckless army entered within a hundred paces of Xinye, their speed slowed down significantly, and the soldiers held their shields high one by one, as if waiting for the arrow array on the head of the city to shoot down.

However, after advancing twenty or thirty paces, they did not wait for the arrows of the defenders to shoot, and the people were completely relieved at this time, and it seemed that what the prefectural commander said was true, and the anti-army had no garrison in Xinye Castle at all.

The officers and men lowered their shields one after another, and the speed of their advance became noticeably faster. In a short time, the soldiers of Shuyang County had advanced to a place less than thirty paces away from the city gate.

At this moment, a muffled buzzing sound came from the top of the city, and before the people could understand what was going on, a hundred crossbow arrows had been shot down from the top of the city, and fell into the crowd of county soldiers, and the sound of crossbow arrows piercing through the leather armor was endless.

"Ahh

In a series of screams, at least twenty or thirty county soldiers fell in an instant. Fei Jun, the county commander who was in the middle of the crowd, drew his sword, waved it forward, and shouted loudly: "Advance with a shield!" The whole army takes the shield and accelerates forward! ”

Under Fei Jun's command, the county soldiers raised their shields one after another, threw off their legs, and rushed forward.

Most of the shields of the county soldiers are wooden, and if you are lucky, you may be able to block the crossbow arrows, but if you are unlucky, you will be directly shot through the crossbow arrows, of course, the crossbow arrows that shoot through the shield will not be too lethal to the county soldiers.

Soon, the county soldiers carried crossbow arrows and attacked the city of Xinye, some soldiers set up a ladder and climbed up, and some soldiers pushed the cart over and hit the city gate together.

Liu Xiu, who was standing on the head of the city, saw that the reckless army besieging the city was becoming more and more scattered, and even with it, his own defenders could only be forced to disperse, and he understood that he couldn't wait any longer.

He summoned all the servants to his front and said, "Now that the enemy army is attacking the city with all its might, it is a good opportunity for us to fight back, so you will follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!" ”

If this is not from Liu Xiu's mouth, the officials will definitely be so angry that they will scold, at present, the city is densely packed with reckless troops, just their people, they also go out of the city to fight, but I am afraid that as soon as they get out of the city, they will be divided by the reckless army.

But this was said by Liu Xiu, and he had to go out of the city to fight in person, so from this point of view, there is indeed a chance to win when he goes out of the city now, otherwise Liu Xiu will not personally get into danger! Liu Xiu is Liu Xiu's younger brother, a veritable second-in-command of the Zhutiandu Department, and all along, Liu Xiu is a battle-to-win, attack, in the Zhutiandu Department, his prestige is naturally extremely high, and what people say to him will also produce a kind of

An instinctive sense of trust.

Hearing his words, all the officials shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the general and fight to the death with the enemy!" ”

Liu Xiu didn't say much, led a group of officials, and quickly ran down the city wall.

Just when Liu Xiu and the servants gathered in the city gate hole, about to open the city gate, he suddenly heard a scream from behind: "Third brother-"

The person who can call him the third brother, except for Liu Boji, there will be no second one. He left all the officials, squeezed out of the hole in the city gate, and took a look outside, and sure enough, Liu Boji and Xu Xiling were running towards him quickly.

When the two of them got closer, Liu Xiu asked, "Why are you here?" Hurry back home! ”

"Third brother, what are you going to do?" Liu Boji looked at Liu Xiu with concern on her face. Liu Xiu didn't want to say anything, and he also knew in his heart that the more he talked, the more worried his little sister would be. He deliberately grimaced his face, turned his head to look at Xu Xiling, and said, "Xiling, take Bo Ji back to the house immediately, this is an order!" ”
