Chapter 44: The Wall Collapses

The catapult of the bandit army was still carrying out long-range strikes with high efficiency, and the gravel on the city tower was splashed, and the county lieutenant Su slowly pulled out the horizontal knife in his hand from his waist, and the atmosphere was suddenly tense to the extreme, and the two sides were about to break out at any time.

Tan Fengyi took a step forward with a cold face, blocking in front of Wen Shen, and the seven-inch Qingfeng dagger in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Z County Cheng took a step forward and shouted: "Both of you calm down, the bandit army is close at hand, and we still have to fight inwardly." ”

County Lieutenant Su said in a deep voice: "Smell, don't be obsessed, it's still too late to turn back." ”

"Could it be that the county lieutenant Su is a spy sent by the bandit army?" Wen sneered.

"Nonsense." County Lieutenant Su's eyes were blood-red.

"Since I am not a spy of the bandits, why should I wait on the city tower and be stoned to death by the bandits."

"This official never had that idea." Lieutenant Su distinguished.

"But you're doing it." Wen shouted coldly.

Tan Fengyi felt a little strange in her heart, didn't she just retreat to the city for street fighting? Why didn't Wen explain to Lieutenant Su.

"Lieutenant Su, if we defend the city wall, we will be wiped out, I think you know this, I admire your courage and determination.

Wen just planned to retreat to the city and engage in street battles with the bandits, so that the bandits' catapults would be useless, and even if we were outnumbered and all killed in the end, it would be effective in killing and wounding the bandits.

If we just passively defend the city wall like this, none of the bandits will lose. Tan Fengyi didn't want the situation to develop to the point where it couldn't be managed, so she explained out loud.

"We retreat to the city, but the people in the city will .......be killed and wounded," said Su County Lieutenant with a deep frown.

Wen interrupted the words of the county lieutenant Su and said coldly: "Don't talk about the people, when we are all finished, the people will be unlucky." I don't have time to grind your teeth here right now. ”

"Students, withdraw!" After hearing the command, he turned around and left.

The hand holding the handle of the knife was beating straight, and he was obviously not lightly smelled, but now was obviously not the time to find trouble, so he gritted his teeth and shouted: "All pay attention, retreat to the city." ”

As soon as Wen retreated to the city tower, he saw a scholar staring at him: "Wen, you actually ignored the lives of the people in the city and retreated without authorization. ”

Wen looked at Zhang Youde in surprise, and after a long time, he remembered, isn't this the scholar who was beaten by himself? also gave himself an example of 13 crimes, and it seems that he still didn't understand last time.

"Zhang Shisan, you are also here to defend the city?" Wen asked with a smile.

"Guarding the city and the people, it is only our duty as a soldier. And my name is virtuous, not thirteen. Zhang Youde said excitedly.

"Okay, Thirteen." Wen shook his head and sighed, and continued to retreat to the city.

Zhang Youde saw that he was still retreating, and asked sharply: "Smell, you really want to ignore the people of the city?" Okay, very good, there is no need for villains to defend the city, we and other scholars should live and die with the city. ”

After speaking, he actually ran to the city tower alone.

Wen looked at Zhang Youde, who was running towards the city tower, in surprise, and said to Tan Fengyi: "Am I very much like a villain?" ”

Tan Fengyi shook her head and said, "You're not a villain, you're a bastard." ”

Wen smiled bitterly and shouted loudly: "Zheng Zhutou, stop that Zhang Thirteen." ”

Zheng Zhutou heard the shout and saw Zhang Youde passing by him, so he stepped forward to block the way.

"Zheng Zhutou, don't stop me, you are afraid of death, I am not afraid of death, I want to live and die with Yan Shen."

"Don't make a fuss, what time is it now?" Zheng Zhutou shouted.

Where did Zhang Youde hear it, and he was about to break forward, Zheng Zhutou slashed at his neck with a knife, and Zhang Youde immediately fainted.

"These measures are big, and they like to add chaos." Zheng Zhutou muttered and ordered someone to carry Zhang Youde away.

Outside the county.

Cheng Laoqi was proudly watching the flying stones like locusts cause major damage to the city wall. It must not take long to conquer Yan Shen.

"Report to Commander Cheng, all the officers and troops have withdrawn from the city wall." A bandit army reported closely.

"Oh, so scared of death." Cheng Laoqi hummed unremittingly. "Take my orders, and all of them will enter the city."

The leaders immediately dissuaded: "Commander Cheng, the officers and soldiers retreated so easily, things are too weird, could it be a trap set by the officers and soldiers?" ”

Cheng Laoqi said coldly: "What kind of trap can there be, they don't have many troops in total, how can they set up an ambush." It's just an attempt to fight us in the streets of the city and render our catapults useless.

However, we can't underestimate the officers and soldiers, after all, they still have sharp weapons to use, so we will occupy the city wall first and attack the city from a high position. Can't our catapults be carried to the walls? ”

"LinkedIn Cheng." The heads of the house were relieved and said with a happy compliment.

"Declare my order to quickly occupy the city wall in case of accidents."

"No." All the leaders responded in unison to the county seat.

The people everywhere had been notified to engage in street battles with the bandits, and the old and weak were required to take up cover, while the young and middle-aged men were asked to take up arms and prepare to resist, and kitchen knives, clubs, wheat forks, and shovels became the main weapons.

"The bandit army has now occupied the northern wall of the city, and I will definitely die this time."

"It's better to live in this world than to die."

"Fight!"

"More than 2,000 bandits, how many can you fight to death?"

"Fight to the death, earn one."

“........”

Negative remarks and pessimism instantly covered the whole city.

On the top floor of the Fulai Inn in the county seat, standing here, you can see the situation on the city wall in the north of the city, and Wen and the others are watching the bandit army quickly occupy the city wall, but they do not enter the city.

Wen looked at the bandits who quickly occupied the city wall, and smiled coldly on his face.

Tan Fengyi looked at Wen strangely: "What are you sneering at?" ”

"Do you see it, this is the human heart, even that scholar Zhang 13 is not as good."

Tan Fengyi frowned and said, "Your requirements for the people are too high." ”

Surprised, he said, "I'm talking about the people?" Even if it's the people. Aren't we one of the people, teach them a lesson today? ”

"What do you mean?" Tan Fengyi didn't understand the meaning of Wen Wen's words at all.

Hearing that he no longer answered, he turned his head to Zheng He, the shopkeeper, and ordered: "Zheng He, prepare to light the fire." ”

"No." Zheng He nodded excitedly and replied, and immediately ran away without a trace.

Tan Fengyi is worthy of being a famous martial artist, her eyes are extremely sharp, and she saw several light blue flames burning towards the north wall of the city from a distance.

"What kind of flame is that?" Tan Fengyi asked strangely.

"Lamp oil." Wen replied casually.

Tan Fengyi suppressed the anger in her heart, and this smell was too perfunctory: "You and I have never seen lamp oil." ”

"Oh, this is a little bit of the essence of the oil, and I gave it a new name, called gasoline." Wen explained.

Tan Fengyi was about to inquire about this gasoline in detail, when she saw a huge black mushroom cloud containing dark red flames rising into the sky at the northern city wall. A huge explosion like thunder swept towards the wind head-on, and the wind was mixed with a hint of blood.

The ground shook as if it had been hit by an earthquake, and countless pieces of broken bricks and stones in the air were pouring down all over the county like a torrential downpour.

Tan Fengyi looked at everything that happened in front of her in surprise, and her mouth couldn't close, and after the series of huge explosions stopped, the entire city wall in the north of the city actually collapsed, and the houses near the city wall were also seriously damaged, and the houses collapsed completely.

"What did you do?" Tan Fengyi muttered in surprise.
