The siege battle has really reached a white-hot level, but in fact, both sides have become the end of the crossbow, and everyone is just relying on one breath to persevere, and the real army is even more so.

On the side of the army, including the women's army, there are only less than two hundred left, and they are all wounded, but they are stubbornly persisting with a tenacious faith, Cao Meng forgot to defeat the enemy several times before he went to the city, and in the end he had to use the precious explosives bag to kill and injure the brigade of Xiangyong again, so that he could save the fortress that was already riddled with holes, and the remaining five explosive bags were reluctant to take it out.

Those villagers were also depressed, and they no longer had the strength and courage to go to the city, and in two strokes, one group was in the city, and one group was under the city, and it was consumed like this.

The soldiers of the intruder put their brother's body in order, and then rested tiredly under the auxiliary wall, leaving less than ten women to run back and forth, bandaging their brother with what little medicine and cotton cloth they had.

The wounded villagers under the city struggled and wailed, and the dead became the cushions for others to sit on, and those who were still alive looked back and waited for the gong of the town's collection of troops, and the overseers all looked at the villagers under the city with blood-red eyes, as long as even if one of the seriously injured climbed backwards over the banner, he did not hesitate to cut off his head with a knife and prop it up with a wooden pole to display behind the battle.

At the beginning, the 2,500 Xiangyong were less than 2,000 still alive, and in total, under this small fortress, nearly 2,000 Xiangyong had already fallen.

What a terrible number is that? The only gain that this number brought to Zhang Yuan was that the original cowardly eyes of these brave men who attacked the city and countryside have now become indifferent and empty, where there is no longer fear of death, only a kind of indifference and lack of awareness of life and death.

The rear formation suddenly began to bombard again, and the elm spray, which had already become an ornament, gathered people around it again, and began to adjust the angle and load ammunition, and the five tiger guns also began to be pushed closer in the shouts of the officers and soldiers, and five or seven hundred archers were also sent to the back of the formation, standing in dense rows, Cao Meng in the city smiled bitterly and said to the captain of the women's army and said gently: "It seems that Zhang Yuan doesn't plan to let us see the sun tomorrow, and now he has taken out the elm cannon and archers, which is a desperate gamble." ”

While bandaging Cao Meng's injured arm, the team leader said with a faint smile: "Zhang Yuan is also in a hurry, five thousand against five hundred, if he can't win, if he spreads out, he will really be laughed at and lose his big teeth, what can I do to see those dog officers in the future?" This is a building without steps, and there is no way out. ”

are all people who have gone through life and death, everything is light, and they inadvertently express their hearts, and naturally they are no longer estranged, and they whisper like a young couple, which is more warm in this cruel battlefield.

"Besides, didn't you already send a signal to the cavalry brothers outside? Now it's about the left near, enough for these dog officers and soldiers to drink a pot, let's see which one can last to the end. ”

"The cavalry brothers are still too few in number. There are only 200 people, and it is still possible to kill them by surprise as a surprise soldier, but if you want to really turn the tide of the battle, you can't, after all, the enemy has thousands of archers and more than a dozen firearms to deal with the cavalry, and the two hundred cavalry can't do it anymore, if the cavalry of the great commander is there, there are few of the exhausted township warriors under the city who can go back. Hey-I don't know where King Chuang and the Great Commander have arrived, and whether Li Yuanhao has been destroyed. ”

The squad leader sneered and said: "I don't have a clue about my own family affairs, but I have to worry about others, let's break the king, that is the reincarnation of the king of heaven, and Li Yuanhao's family can still get benefits?" Let's just delay it for a while, and it's only right to do our own thing. “

"That's right." Cao Meng also chuckled. The little couple was talking softly, when a soldier in charge of observation suddenly shouted: "Chief Cao, look, the enemy seems to be different from the previous attacks. ”

Cao Meng turned over and stood up, looked out and couldn't help but be surprised, and a very bad idea suddenly came to his mind.

At this time, the drums of the official army sounded like thunder again, and the attack of the official army began again, but this time it was different from the previous ones, and the official army's supervising team began to move the banner forward by ten zhang, and it was tightly behind the attacking city and city Yong, and the number of people was increased. Those small banners and hundreds of households began to constantly hit the village warriors under the city with the back of their knives, erected cloud ladders and began to climb the city, but those firearms archers who were waiting for the battle did not do the same, and carried out fire coverage and suppression before the officers and soldiers climbed, and waited until the village warriors climbed halfway and did not fire and release arrows.

Cao Meng suddenly shouted: "Brothers, Zhang Yuan's gang wants us to die with the townspeople who climbed the city, everyone pay attention." Look for rattan cards and quilts to prepare. ”

Cao Meng's shout was heard by the soldiers of the intruding army, and they scolded Zhang Yuan for being inhumane, while hurriedly looking for something to resist.

This voice was also heard by the Xiang Yong who was close to the city wall, but he was suspicious, and when he looked back, it was not true, the archers and elm spray were ready to fire, just waiting for themselves to climb the city, and it was really as the thieves shouted, it was really to ask their brothers to attract the thieves, and when they were strangled together, they would burn the jade, understand the situation, the city and the city were shouting, and the city was ready to climb the city and the Xiang Yong who had already climbed the city began to cry, and the sound of pleading and scolding became one.

Those who climbed halfway to the village climbed back one after another, and some of them simply jumped down from a height of two zhang and smashed into the crowd below, and some of the people below began to run back regardless of the shouts of the overseers, although they cut down a few but could not stop the flow of people, and some began to use knives against the superintendents, and for a time the city was in chaos.

Zhang Yuan saw that not only did not achieve the expected effect, but also a mutiny, at that time, he was in a hurry, and he gritted his teeth and ordered the archers loudly, "The archers come forward and shoot their bows and arrows at those bastards who dare not to climb the city." ”

The thousand households were shocked when they heard Zhang Yuan's general, the original plan of burning the jade made him unhappy, he was also the one who led the troops, and his subordinates were all their own robes after all, although they were also scolding them, a little exploited, but after all, they still had a conscience, and they would not treat their brother robes like this, this plan was too crazy, but after all, it was a family affair, and he couldn't interfere too much. At the same time, I also understand the current situation, and I am also forced to be helpless, but if the plan to burn the jade is really successful, maybe there will be many fewer deaths.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan gave such a dehumanized and completely crazy order, and immediately stepped forward and shouted to stop him: "Lord Zhang, it's okay for you to implement the strategy of burning all the jade, but you should choose the people who dare to die, and it is right to have more money and silk, who else will work with you like this in the future?" Those villagers are also human beings, and so are their robes—"

Zhang Yuan interrupted Qianhu's words loudly with red eyes and said: "Lord Qianhu, at this time, there is no turning back arrow from the bow, and the official is also helpless, but it is just a little homeless life, take some silver money and recruit again." Seeing that the thousand households were still arguing, he said categorically: "The thousand households should not say more, I have my own family affairs, and I don't have to worry about the thousands of households." ”

He no longer paid attention to Qianhu, turned around and said loudly to his close sons and nephews around him: "What are you looking at?" They all took out their swords and guns, stepped forward to supervise the battle, and if they disobeyed, they were immediately killed. After a moment's thought, he said: "Announce to those who obey the order, whether they live or die, they will be given ten taels of silver, and I will give their families their lives if they die, and I will never violate them." ”

After receiving the order, the gang of children got on their horses and rushed forward to fight.

Qianhu saw that the tragedy was about to happen, and he usually couldn't bear to see each other kill each other no matter how tyrannical he was, not to mention that Zhang Yuan also said that he didn't need to take care of his own family affairs, and sighed at the moment, and took his subordinates back to the city and ignored it, Zhang Yuan knew that Qianhu went away, and he didn't look back, just stared at the action of the supervising team.

The archers are also the townspeople's robes, and they really can't bear to hear this order, and they all look back, hoping that Zhang Yuan can change the order, which Cheng thought, the flag suddenly rushed out of a group of people, and after rushing to the archer team, it was a whip, shouting loudly for them to shoot arrows, so there was another cry, and the gang of Zhang Yuan's children saw that the leather whip had no effect, and they pulled out their knives and chopped over a few archers who wanted to resist, under the obscenity of Zhang Yuan's children, The archer howled and had to close his eyes and shoot the arrow in his hand into his robe.

Feathered arrows rose all over the sky, like white devils deeply pierced into the rear of the fleeing countrymen, bringing with them a rain of blood and a miserable howl.

At this time, a group of Zhang Yuan's sons on horseback stepped forward, pointed their bows and arrows at those Xiangyong, and said loudly: "Lord Zhang has an order, those who climb the city will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and those who die in battle will be rewarded with silver and handed over to their families. ”

The city and the countryside bravely saw that Zhang Yuan really moved the killing machine, and retreating was definitely dead, but Zhang Yuan also promised to go to the city to have ten taels of silver, in case he was lucky enough not to die, then he could still live, this damn world, the lives of his own people, in the eyes of the officials, are not as good as grass mustard, who will be resentful? For a while, the sound of crying and cursing sounded in the sky, and in this crying and cursing, slowly some people began to climb the city.

Cao Meng saw it, and while scolding Zhang Yuan for his inhumanity, he suffered in his heart, this time it was really over, even Da Luo Jinxian couldn't escape this catastrophe, so he no longer dodged, and together with those brothers who bit their lips, they threw away the rattan quilt in their hands, clenched the gun, and prepared for the last fight.

As soon as Zhang Yuan saw that his method of coercion and temptation worked, a smug smile appeared on his fat face that was originally like a bodhisattva, but that smile was as terrifying as a hellish ghost.

"Thief, this time I will personally send you to hell, so that you and my old father and child will be slaves and slaves, and you will never turn over." Thinking of this, the smile was even more hideous, looking at the village Yong who was about to approach the city, looking at the thief standing at the head of the city, and raising the command flag in his hand high: "Archer, elm spray, prepare-"

Suddenly, behind his side, there was a rolling thunderous sound, followed by an earth-shattering shout of killing.

In a flash, reinforcements arrived.
