XXXIX Blood Ear
Mae River Town, night.
In the city lord's mansion, Jin Heng was lying on the comfortable big bed, tossing and turning, but he couldn't sleep, so he simply arched his body, and a woman with no wisps on the side quickly grabbed the bed and covered her body nervously......
Jin Heng patted his head: "Why are you so unsure?" Could it be that something happened to Wang Xu and them? As he spoke, he rolled out of bed and came to the window, staring blankly at the starry window, only to hear the obscene laughter of men and the crying of women in some distant rooms, he shook his head and cursed like a monkey.
"It shouldn't be a problem." Jin Heng thought about it, what can be wrong with thousands of people fighting more than a thousand people and so many sharp soldiers?
"This guy must be spending the night in the quarry right now." After a long time, Jin Heng came to such a conclusion, after all, it is late at night, and the quarry is more than ten miles away from here, just in case, Wang Xu must arrange for the army to stay in the quarry for one night, as for what risks will be encountered? Jin Heng shook his head, maybe he would lose some men, but it was impossible to defeat the battle......
Thinking about it like this, Jin Heng's heart was a lot more stable, and then he looked at the girl on the bed, and saw that the girl's eyes were slightly frightened under the candlelight, and the quilt was tightly wrapped around his chest. ”
Accompanied by the lewd laughter of Jin Takey, the room soon filled the room with the characteristic gasps of men and women......
A few miles away from the quarry in the open field, the Jingwei camp and those quarry laborers were camping here to rest, but they saw Sun Biao circling around Feng Chou Nian.
"Brother Feng, you say good things to Liu Ce, I know I'm not human, I'm sorry for a few of you before, or you can punch me a few times to get angry, but no matter what, let me join a gang, and everyone will do it together!" Sun Biao is twenty-seven this year, but Feng Chounian, who is two years younger than him, called his brother, just because he wanted to join the Jingwei camp to gamble on his future, and he was not afraid that Feng Chounian would beat him up.
"Get out! Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's sleep! Let you join the Jingwei camp and continue to blackmail us? How far away are you, get out of here! Quarrel again, screw your head off as a headrest! Feng Chounian was wrapped in a sleeping bag and was numb by Sun Biao's noisy scalp, and he scolded impatiently and wanted to drive him away.
I didn't want Sun Biao to hear it, but not only did he not leave, but simply stretched out his head: "As long as you can let me join the gang, you have to take my head, and my Sun Biao wants to say half a word, it is a ...... raised by a bitch."
"!" Feng Chounian jumped up suddenly, "Can you have a face!" Do you really think I wouldn't dare? ”
Sun Biao said: "As long as I can join the gang, I, Sun Biao, can do anything, Brother Feng, you can see the friendship of your former comrades, and talk to Liu Ce!" ”
Feng Shou shouted angrily: "Who the is with your comrades!" If you don't pee on yourself, you deserve to say this? Say it again! ! ”
Feng Chounian's roar attracted the soldiers around who were just about to fall asleep to get up and watch, and many people began to gossip and curse, which was very lively for a while......
"What's going on? Don't you sleep? Liu Ce heard that Feng Chounian's shouting caused the soldiers to be unable to rest, so he came over to understand the situation.
As soon as Feng Chou Nian saw Liu Ce, he said, "General, you can't blame me!" This guy is so vexatious, I can't help but ......"
"Okay, I got it." Liu Ce knew that this incident was not to blame Feng Chou Nian, it was completely caused by Sun Biao's noise.
"And you, don't you go to rest? Want to be beaten?" Liu Ce turned around and glared at the surrounding onlookers, and said lightly, and everyone immediately dispersed and stopped staying, fearing that because of the excitement and eating military sticks, the face would be lost.
"Brother Liu Ce, I'm not human, I know I'm sorry for you before, but I can't help it, you also know, if you don't make a point above the camp, you can't stand on it at all, and you don't have a chance to climb up, if there is no one behind you to be a backer, you can't be bullied every day......" Sun Biao knelt down directly when he saw Liu Ce, with a look of remorse.
Liu Ce smiled and said, "Sun Biao, let him go over the past, don't mention it again, I'll give you some rice after tomorrow......"
"No!" As soon as Sun Biao heard Liu Ce's intention to drive him away, he immediately interrupted him, "I don't want rice and grain, I beg Brother Liu Ce to give me a chance to join the Jingwei Battalion. After speaking, he kowtowed heavily.
"Sun Biao, I'm curious, why don't you join the thieves?" Liu Ce squatted down and asked playfully, this is also what Liu Ce wants to know very much, in his impression, his Sun Biao image is really not good.
Sun Biao raised his head and said with a serious face: "I, Sun Biao, have done everything in my life, even if I am a dog in order to survive, I will not give up, but I also have my own bottom line, but I can't be a thief, otherwise I will have no face to see my parents even if I go to Jiuquan......"
Sun Biao's words were righteous, but Liu Ce stared at his face and continued to ask, "What else?" Let's be honest! ”
"Uh......" Sun Biao's eyes couldn't help but turn left and right, and then said: "Also, follow the thieves sooner or later to die, there is no future, I see that you are strong and strong, ......"
Sun Biao himself was not optimistic about the thieves, and today he witnessed the scene of the team winning two consecutive battles in front of him, and he was shocked and secretly glad that he had not joined the thieves before.
"Hehe......" Liu Ce smiled and got up to leave, Sun Biao didn't understand what he meant, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Just when Sun Biaoleng was at a loss for what to do, Liu Ce's words reached his ears: "Go to Xu Hui to report and get a sleeping bag, and you can follow Xu Hui as an auxiliary soldier for the time being." ”
"Thank you!" Sun Biao bowed deeply to Liu Ce's back, although he was only an auxiliary soldier, he believed that he would definitely climb higher......
"General, why did you accept Sun Biao's house?" Yang Fan didn't understand Liu Ce's behavior very much, because in the past, Sun Biao was the most Liu Ce, and it stands to reason that Liu Ce should take the opportunity to kill him, and he should be driven out no matter how bad it is, but now he is very puzzled by leaving him behind.
Liu Ce wrapped his sleeping bag, put the saddle on the back of his head, and said to Yang Fan: "Forget it, he used to be in the same battalion, since he didn't follow the thief and has the intention of repenting, the previous things will be over......
Before Yang Fan could say anything, he was interrupted by Liu Ce: "Sleep, there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow." After speaking, he turned his back to Yang Fan. Seeing this, Yang Fan didn't want to say anything, so he had to turn around and try to fall asleep......
At this time, outside the town of Meihe, Yang Kaishan took more than a dozen people and put a basket of bamboo baskets at the gate of the city at night, and then ran to the distance and turned over his horse and walked towards the way he came......
On the second day, when the thieves carried a basket of bloody baskets to the entrance of the street, they attracted countless onlookers, and one of the baskets had a short knife stuck in the seal, and the sharp eyes recognized that this short knife was Wang Xu's saber.
"Where?" When Jin Heng arrived at the entrance of the street, he was already surrounded by a dense crowd, so he had them dispersed and made way to go directly to the bamboo basket.
When he saw the bamboo basket full of blood in front of him, Jin Heng's face couldn't help but twitch a few times, and the uneasiness of last night came to his heart again......
"Open!" Jin Heng brushed his thoughts and ordered someone to open the basket. But seeing that there were piles of dense bloody ears in the basket, the number of which was afraid to be thousands, and seeing it so closely, the visual impact was extraordinary, and several thieves vomited on the spot.
Jin Takey's stomach also tumbled, and he forcibly ordered someone to close the lid and asked, "Who sent it?" ”
A pale thief said, "I found the ...... when I opened the city gate in the morning." Immediately ran while retching.
Jin Heng suddenly felt powerless, and now he knew that the source of this uneasiness was the scene in front of him, and the thousands of people sent out by Wang Xu and were afraid that they would be more than lucky.
"Quick! Close the gates! Thinking of the possibility of Wang Xu's annihilation, Jin Heng's sixth sense made him feel that something big had happened, and immediately shouted for people to close the city gate, which proved that Jin Heng's judgment was very accurate, not long after the city gate was closed, a team of thousands of people appeared in the open space three miles away......
"Xu Hui, you order to go down and let Gao Laohan and Feng Ying assemble that sharp weapon on the spot, the number of people is not enough to bring those laborers to help, and your auxiliaries may also go to the battlefield in this battle." Liu Ce looked at the Mehe Town that came into view, and decisively began to attack the city.
When Xu Hui heard that his auxiliaries would also go to the battlefield, he said loudly: "Yes!" Then I immediately ran to the headquarters, this is a good opportunity, I must not miss it......
"How are we going to fight?" Although the morale of the Jingwei battalion has reached its peak in two consecutive battles yesterday, it is still a little overwhelmed in the face of the high walls and thick walls of Meihe Town in front of him, after all, he has never had the experience of attacking the city!
"Trust the general! We do what he says! A soldier clenched the spear in his hand tightly, full of confidence in Liu Ce, and his words were approved by the soldiers around him.
"Sun Biao, Fang Jing, is there an octagonal crossbow on the tower of this city?" Liu Ce is most worried about the appearance of bed crossbows in the city tower, although the bed crossbow in this other world is simple, the power and accuracy of the range of 200 meters away are greatly reduced, but the quality and quantity of the raw materials used are much stronger than the ancient times of the world in which they live, and there are few failures due to material problems.
"There are two of them, and I planted them myself." In terms of the military fortifications in Meihe Town, Sun Biao knows too much than Fang Jing, "There are two hundred steps between the left and right, and there is one each, but there are not many crossbow arrows, at most twenty and one ......"
Liu Ce nodded, the situation was much better than he expected, although there were bed crossbows at the head of the city to guard, but the number was too small, and it could not pose much threat to himself, as long as the siege equipment was assembled, he could start attacking the city!
……
"Quick! Go up to the castle, archers! Go up to the castle tower! Fast! Don't hang it! Jin Heng looked at the banner of the Jingwei camp outside the city, the red banner representing the totem of this army kept waving in the cold wind, and the bodies of thousands of soldiers outside the city exuded a soaring murderous aura, which made people shudder.
"More than 1,000 people dare to attack the city?" Jin Heng never expected that this army would seize the stone field, kill Wang Xu, and slaughter nearly half of the strength in his hands, but now he dares to attack the city with such a swagger?
Seeing that the various battlements on the city wall were densely packed with people, countless rolling stones and trees had been prepared behind them, the bed crossbow had also been put in place, and the thieves on one side were setting up a big iron pot to boil hot water, Jin Heng's heart suddenly calmed down.
"Stop!" Less than a mile away from the city wall, Liu Ce ordered the troops to stop, "Who is going to persuade them to surrender?"
"Poof......" Qin Mo, who was drinking water from the water bag on the side, heard this, and immediately squirted out a mouthful of water, choking and coughing, "Persuade to surrender?" Could it be that this kid has consciously killed too much and changed his sex?"
Liu Ce glanced at Qin Mo and said, "If you don't fight a soldier, you can also make a good strategy." ”
"What the general said is ......" Qin Mo echoed casually, he would never believe that the young man in front of him would have the slightest sympathy for the thieves, he didn't even blink his eyelids when he killed thousands of thieves last night, and watched the soldiers cut off their ears with great interest, and even discussed with Feng Chou Nian how to cut them faster......
"General, I'll go!" Han Feng slapped his horse out of the ranks, and last night he captured 200 military horses of thieves, of which 30 were dead and wounded, and were directly ordered by Liu Ce to go down and slaughter them as military rations, but there were still 170 intact, and Han Feng also obtained one of them.
Liu Ce nodded, Han Feng's temperament has changed a lot since he killed Gao Fang yesterday, and he has talked more, no longer the cold appearance he had before, Liu Ce is thinking about whether to go back and form a crossbow team for Han Feng to bring so many bows and arrows in his hands now, after all, there are so many people only Han Feng has the best archery skills.
Seeing Liu Ce nodding, Han Feng walked out of the column with a horse's belly (single stirrups) between his legs, and after a while, he came to the city tower and shouted: "Listen to the thieves, hurry up and open the city gate and surrender!" My Jingwei battalion has preferential treatment for the pawns! If you insist on resisting! The four thousand blood ears in the inner part are the end of you! ”
"Hiss......" The thieves on the city tower couldn't help but feel a chill behind their backs, and they felt that these ears were really done by these people in front of them.
"In other words, Wang Xu, they are really dead?" This thought kept flashing through everyone's minds, and a trace of uneasiness came to everyone's minds.
Jin Heng stared at Han Feng under the city tower, his eyes were cold, in the face of Han Feng being so arrogant and unscrupulous, he forcibly held back his anger and said: "You are so cruel, how is it different from a beast?" Aren't you afraid of God's wrath? ”
"Hahaha......" Han Feng laughed when he heard it: "You also have the face to say this?" The people who have been harmed by the thieves have been thousands of times more than these 4,000 people, and what is the curse of killing these beasts on behalf of the heavens? Don't talk nonsense! To descend or not to fall! ”
"Good! Good! Good! What a Jingwei battalion! Jin Heng laughed angrily, "Very good, if you want the city, just take it yourself!" I'd like to see how much power you have in the Jingwei Battalion! ”
"Don't regret it!" Han Feng turned his horse's head, replied coldly, and headed towards the main formation.
Qin Mo saw that Han Feng was back in battle, but Jin Heng showed no signs of leaving the city, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect this Jin Heng's temperament to be completely different from before, so calm?" ”
Liu Ce said with a smile: "Anyone who can achieve this status, whether it is a thief or an official or a soldier, how many will be fuel-efficient lamps?" What's more, Jin Heng, as a guard, is unpredictable about my Jingwei camp now, and he will not rush out of the city for a decisive battle. ”
After a pause, Liu Ce said again: "But isn't this part of our plan?" Give Lao Feng them assembly to delay time. ”
Qin Mo smiled and said, "What the general said is extremely true, just wait for that thing to come and start an offensive, but what if Jin Takey kills at this time?"
"Hahaha......" Liu Ce said with a smile, "Mr. is really confused, will he be the opponent of my Jingwei Battalion in the field?" ”
Qin Mo also laughed when he heard this......
