42. The fall of the Jin army
"Bang bang bang!" The sound of a series of thieves landing on the ground sounded above the city tower, and Liu Ce swept with a spear, and suddenly seven or eight thieves were swept into the faΓ§ade, and their faces were smashed alive by the spear shaft and died in soreness.
Seeing this, the two sharp soldiers showed a fierce light, and attacked behind Liu Ce with waist knives in their hands. Liu Ce was shocked to find that the air behind him was abnormally flowing, and turned around for a sweep, one of the sharp soldiers leaned over the sweeping spear, but the other was not so lucky, as soon as he lowered his head, he was hit by the hard spear shaft on the temple, and suddenly his eyes were full of gold stars, and he felt that there seemed to be mucus flowing down the seven holes, and before he could verify whether it was bloodstains, the whole person was blown down the city wall by Liu Ce's sweep and fell to death......
"Yikes!" The thief who escaped the catastrophe saw his companion fall from the city wall, his eyes were bloody, and he roared angrily and killed Liu Ce. Seeing this, Liu Ce shrank back violently, and the tail of the spear was inlaid with an iron vertebrae that accurately pierced the abdominal cavity of a thief behind him, bringing out a piece of purple-red internal organs......
Killing three people in a row, Liu Ce did not stop, and continued to gallop in the direction of the city tower, and on the way, three passing sharp soldiers were stabbed by him......
"Up!" The soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion outside the city finally jumped from the siege tower to the platform of the city wall, and the situation in the city tower immediately reversed......
After Yang Kaishan split the two thieves, his own banner and Feng Chou Nian and Yang Youhuai finally became one.
"Crazy! You go and help Sun Cheng and them, I'll take the brothers down the steps, Xiao Qi, go and clear the shooters on the right wing, lest they shoot arrows indiscriminately! Brothers, kill me! After Yang Kaishan gave an order, he went down the steps again to kill......
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
With three consecutive spears entering the flesh, Liu Ce stabbed to death three thieves who blocked the way, and glanced at the corpses of the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion lying on the ground, with mixed feelings in his heart. Suddenly, a group of thieves rushed up from under the steps, Liu Ce flicked his spear, and a large pot of boiling water with white smoke next to him was suddenly lifted away, and the pot and water smashed on the group of crazy thieves.
"Ahh My eyes! β
"My hands!"
"Burn me!"
The screams on the stairs were endless, countless thieves tumbled and fell down the stairs, and the entire climbing thieves swept backwards like waves, and finally fell to the ground!
"I'm quitting! Run, they're not human! A thief completely collapsed, ignoring the supervision of the sharp soldiers behind him, flew down to the city, and the remaining thieves made a loud noise, densely rushing behind each of them The sharp soldiers rushed to the city, and countless people rolled down the city wall in the crowd, and the city wall has been occupied by the Jingwei battalion......
"Damn!" Jin Heng, who had long been hiding under the city tower, saw everything in front of him, his eyes were crimson, and he seemed to be about to burst into flames, "Don't run!" Come! Those who dare to retreat will be killed on the spot! β
As soon as Jin Heng's words fell, he heard a neat cheer, and hundreds of soldiers under Yang Kaishan's department pressed down the steps like black clouds, and then Sun Cheng, Feng Chounian, Liu Ce, Yang Youhuai, and Xu Hui's troops also began to kill down the steps......
Strictly speaking, it has been less than a day since Sun Biao joined the Jingwei Battalion, but he was eager to make meritorious contributions, and he waved his palms to shoot down the thieves blocking the steps one by one, and his bravery was extraordinary......
"Seal the Year of Sorrow!" Liu Ce saw a bunch of thieves blocking the way on the steps, and he couldn't use his formation, so he shouted, Feng Chounian, who was not far from the city tower, heard the shout, nodded at him, and the long axe in his hand plunged into the ground, raising a pile of broken stone bricks. Liu Ce rushed over quickly, and at the moment when he was about to hit Feng Chounian, he saw Feng Chounian kneeling on one knee, one arm propped up on the ground, Liu Ce jumped and stepped on his shoulder, Feng Chounian immediately roared and got up and pushed his shoulder, Liu Ce instantly flew into the air......
"What? This is! The thieves downstairs were dumbfounded, and they saw Liu Ce soaring like an eagle in the air, and they couldn't help but look stupid......
"Jingwei Reclamation...... This is Jingwei reclamation! When the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion saw Liu Ce soaring into the sky, they suddenly thought of the totem of their banner, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion......
Liu Ce soared in the air for a few breaths, the spear in his hand raised over his shoulders, and fell heavily towards the dense group of thieves......
"Run, spread out!" Jin Heng shouted in horror, but it was too late, and Liu Ce swept down like a cloud, overwhelming a whole group of thieves......
"Click!" The sound of the spear breaking in his hand rose in response, Liu Ce lay in the group of thieves and pulled out the short knife at his waist, one turned over to avoid the swords that were chopping around, and then the knife flower rotated, and the tendons of more than a dozen thieves were broken alive, and there was a terrible wail in his ears.
Liu Ce kicked a carp and smashed the jaw of a frightened thief in front of him, and the short knife in his hand kept waving in the crowd, and every knife killed a thief!
......More than a dozen arrows shot out of Han Feng's hands, each of which hit the thieves around Liu Ce who posed a threat to him.
"Guo Tao! Your turn! Han Feng still aimed at the thieves around Liu Ce under the city, knowing that it would be difficult for Liu Ce to kill the steps alone, so he asked Guo Tao to go and respond.
"Leave it to me! Brothers! Above! Guo Tao roared, lifted the rolling stone on the city tower and smashed it down, and suddenly the dense thief camp under the city tower was even more chaotic, and the people who were hit made an inhuman-like sound, constantly stimulating the tense nerves of these thieves, and they were faintly on the verge of collapse......
After Liu Ce killed the last thief soldier ten steps before the steps, Yang Kaishan's team finally captured the steps and joined Liu Ce.
"Formation!" Liu Ce and Yang Kaishan roared at the same time, and more than 100 soldiers immediately shouted in unison, and the soldiers with spears behind them aimed their cold spear tips at the thieves who were rioting in front of them under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers in the front row.
"Attack!" Liu Ce waved his sword and gave an order, and the spearmen followed the sword and shield soldiers with neat steps and approached the thieves.
"Mom, I don't want to die!" Countless thieves shouted and threw away their weapons and ran backwards, impressed by the sharp spear array outside the city a few hours ago, and then encountered a similar scene again, completely collapsed, and scrambled to escape from this terrible nightmare......
"Poof~" Jin Heng spit out a mouthful of blood to the sky, and several sharp soldiers and cronies around him hurriedly supported him.
"Get out of here!" Jin Heng pushed away the cronies who were holding him, his eyes straight. "Defeated! Defeated! β
Jin Heng could never have imagined that the town guarded by 5,000 people was still an elite composed of thieves and sharp soldiers, and it was defeated by more than 1,000 people in such a short time. There were originally more than 1,000 sharp soldiers in his hands, but now he has lost more than 800 people including last night, which makes him unacceptable, these sharp soldiers are selected by himself from various battles, and they are his own neutral in the thief army, and now they are gone......
"Kill me!" Jin Takey finally broke out of his long-suppressed brotherhood! Raise the double whip in your hand and command the remaining two hundred sharp soldiers to reverse the decline!
"General, don't!" Cao En, who was beside him, hurriedly grabbed him. "The general quickly left the city, don't make any more senseless sacrifices, the green mountains left behind, don't be afraid of no firewood, let's go to Gaoyang quickly......"
"Get out!" Jin Heng kicked Cao En away and said, "Lao Tzu is not going anywhere!" My Jin Jiajun is famous! An elite and fierce division in the rebel army! How can you have the face to go to Gaoyang for help! I'd rather die here! Come on! β
Seeing that Jin Heng rushed towards the Jingwei camp with 200 people, and kept cutting down the thieves who fled on the way, Cao En shook his head helplessly and ran backwards with the thieves who ran away......
"Throw guns!" At this time, thousands of soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion had all gathered under the city, marching in formation, seeing Jin Heng and them killing, Xu Hui gave an order, and more than 40 throwing guns were ready......
"Twenty steps! Throw! Seeing that the thieves had reached the best firing range, Xu Hui gave an order, and more than forty throwing guns roared towards Jin Heng and them......
In an instant, thirty sharp soldiers were shot by the spears, and the huge momentum swept them out behind them......
Jin Heng dodged a throwing gun, and the iron whips in his hands collided with each other, sparks were sparked, and he shouted fiercely: "Jin Heng's army is here!" Dare to fight! β
In response to him, a ruthless spear struck all parts of his body, and Jin Heng suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body, and in the face of this terrifying formation, his own martial arts seemed to be useless.
"Ding~Ding~Puff~Puff~Puff~" Jin Heng's double whip shook off two attacking spears in a row, but failed to dodge the remaining three spears, the armor-piercing cone ruthlessly pierced his iron armor and penetrated into his body, for a while, the cold breath penetrated Jin Heng's whole body, and the iron whip in his hand slipped weakly, watching the tip of a spear getting closer and closer to him, but he was unable to dodge again......
"Poof~" A spear tip pierced Jin Heng's jaw, and the huge penetrating force lifted off the back of his entire head, a piece of flesh and blood blurred, and red and white brains hanging on the tip of the spear were scattered all over the ground like tofu brains.
"General!" Seeing that Jin Heng was killed, the remaining hundred or so sharp soldiers rushed forward even more frantically, hitting the thick spears meaninglessly......
β¦β¦
"Jingwei Battalion! Win! β
"Drink! Drink! Drink! β
After killing the last of the rogue soldiers who rushed into battle, the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion erupted in a deafening cheer.
β¦β¦
"Won, really won!" Hearing the shouts of victory of the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion erupting in the city, Qin Mo outside the city gate suddenly burst into tears, and excitedly took Ye Bin's hand and said, "They really won!" Truly defeat the fiercest army of thieves! Do you hear the cheers of the soldiers? Did you hear that? β
This siege battle, although Qin Mo led it, although he did countless drills and calculations before the war, Qin Mo still didn't have much hope that this attack on Meihe Town would be victorious, after all, it took at least three times the number of defenders to attack the town in previous dynasties, and now it was only half a day, and the Jingwei Battalion, which was far less than the number of thieves defending the city, actually really captured Meihe Town, how could he not be excited.
"Brother Qin, what's wrong with you? Isn't that something to be happy about? Ye Bin was also excited, with tears in his eyes, "Brother Liu Ce is really extraordinary!" Maybe he can really turn things around in the Far East......"
As he spoke, the closed gate of the town was slowly opened, and Qin Mo Yebin wiped away his tears and entered with one hundred and fifty baggage soldiers and more than a thousand quarry laborers......
β¦β¦
"What about the casualties of my Jingwei battalion soldiers?" In the government of Meihe Town, Liu Ce quietly stood under the archway with "Mirror Hanging" hanging in front of the hall, closed his eyes tightly, and did not have a trace of joy. On both sides of the hall knelt Wu Liwen and some other local officials......
Yang Kaishan's face couldn't help twitching, and he took a deep breath and said: "In this siege, a total of forty-three soldiers were killed in the battle of the Jingwei Battalion, sixty-seven were injured, a total of one hundred and ten people, four of the wounded were seriously injured, I am afraid that they will not survive, and another twelve people are disabled and afraid that they will not be able to fight anymore, and the rest will be bandaged, and they can return to the team after resting for ten days and a half months......
Listening to Yang Kaishan's slow report on the casualties, Liu Ce's heart became heavier and heavier every time he heard a sentence.
"General." Sun Cheng saw that Liu Ce's face was very ugly, so he comforted him: "On the march to fight, casualties are inevitable, my Jingwei battalion has defeated tens of thousands of thieves and captured the town with such a force, it is rare in the entire Great Zhou, general, you don't have to blame yourself." β
Liu Ce waved his hand: "Sun Cheng, don't comfort me, I don't know what you said, it's just that these soldiers believe in me and are willing to follow me to fight everywhere, and now that I have ended up in this fate, how can you let me explain to the families of the fallen soldiers......"
When Sun Cheng and Yang Kaishan heard this, they were full of emotion in their hearts, whether it was in the thieves or the barracks, the death of a soldier was just a number, and if he died, he would die, no one would care, and Liu Ce would actually feel heavy for the casualties of the soldiers, and they couldn't help but feel that the young man in front of them was unusually tall.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's go and count the supplies." Liu Ce straightened his thoughts, tried to suppress his emotions, and diverted the topic.
"Yes!" Yang Kaishan and Sun Cheng were about to leave, but they were suddenly stopped by Liu Ce.
"How many thieves have been captured this time?"
Yang Kaishan said: "This time, in addition to the battle of the quarry to exterminate 4,332 thieves, the siege battle killed more than 2,800 people, captured 1,654 people, and the rest fled out of the city......
Liu Ce nodded and said to Yang Kaishan, "You did a good job. β
Seeing this, Sun Cheng said, "What about these thieves?" Saying that, Sun Cheng showed a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Mayor Wu." Liu Ce called lightly, and Wu Liwen immediately crawled up to Liu Ce, trembling all over: "The lower official is here." β
"Get up." Seeing him like this, Liu Ce unconsciously shook his head and asked him to get up.
Wu Liwen trembled even more, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan...... Don't dare ......"
Seeing this, Yang Kaishan immediately shouted: "If you are told to get up, you will get up!" Wu Liwen was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and immediately got up and stood aside respectfully.
Liu Ce looked at him and said, "Mayor Wu, please do something, gather all the people in the town to the gate of the town." β
"I don't know why the strong man wants to do this?" Wu Liwen trembled and dared to ask, a few days ago, Jin Heng gave himself a thousand thieves to rob the cotton wool jackets and clothes in the people's homes, and hundreds of people died, and the people were wailing, he knelt on the ground and watched the people being killed and looted by the thieves but could not do anything, he could only cry, at this time, he was afraid that the young leader in front of him would do something more out of line.
Liu Ce smiled and said: "Mayor Wu, don't be nervous, the thieves have been the people of Meihe Town for several months, and my Jingwei Battalion will correct this group of beasts in human skin in front of the people today, you can relax, my Jingwei Battalion has strict military discipline, and I will never do such a thing as a thief!" β
"Ahh When Wu Liwen heard this, his entire back was soaked, and he was afraid to suspect that he had heard it wrong, so he made sure again, "Is the strong man serious?" β
"Nonsense!" Sun Cheng was furious when he heard this, what kind of virtue did these bird officials have, "Hurry up and gather the people at the gate of the town!" My Jingwei battalion wants to give you the people of Meihe Town a vent. β
"However, since ancient times, killing prisoners has been ominous...... Wu Liwen said tremblingly after confirming it.
Yang Kaishan and Sun Cheng showed a look of disdain and were about to speak, and Liu Ce's voice said slowly: "Mayor Wu, when the thieves guarded this town, you and the others were also prisoners, can the thieves treat you well?"
"This ......" Wu Wenli was speechless for a while, remembering that a few days ago, his colleagues and friends were killed by Jin Heng, thousands of laborers were exhausted to death in the quarry, countless women with good faces became thieves' venting tools, and then thought of the scene when the thieves snatched cotton cloth......
Seeing Wu Liwen's hesitation, Liu Ce continued: "Looking at Mayor Wu's expression, presumably the thieves should have bullied you and others, right?" If my Jingwei battalion doesn't come today, I'm afraid this kind of day will continue, there are no more officials and soldiers in Ganzhou, do you still expect that killing this group of thieves will bring bad luck? β
Wu Liwen nodded immediately and agreed with Liu Ce's words......
"So, Mayor Wu, you can do as I instruct, by the way, don't kneel, get up and go with Mayor Wu."
Seeing that Liu Ce asked them to get up, everyone thanked them and slowly got up from the ground and went with Wu Liwen.
"Sun Cheng, this matter ......" Liu Ce originally wanted Sun Cheng to go to the execution, but suddenly made up his mind, "Forget it, inform Xu Hui that the statistical work will be handed over to Ye Bin, and let him bring the auxiliary soldiers to the execution!" β
Sun Cheng was a little unhappy when he heard this: "General, ......why did you let Xu Hui go to this matter?"
Liu Ce interrupted Sun Cheng's words with a smile: "Xu Hui's baggage soldiers are already qualified to be soldiers after this battle, and if they see more blood, they will be assigned to your various banners to replenish the lost combat power, and one banner is full of three hundred people, you are far from enough!" β
"Yes!" Sun Cheng and Yang Kaishan's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they shouted and took the order.
Outside the city gate, nearly 10,000 people's families were densely gathered, and the city tower was also bustling, pointing at the bandits and corpses that were tied up in a string outside the city.
"Quiet! Everyone, please be quiet! Yang Kaishan shouted loudly with a makeshift iron horn, until his throat hurt, and finally persuaded everyone to calm down.
"My general said it! Thieves are not as good as beasts! In the name of the rebels, they will plague the Quartet! Today, I Jingwei camp for the heavens! Death to death for these beasts! I hope you will bear witness! β
Yang Kaishan thought that he had said something very majestic, and he couldn't help but be proud of being in the limelight, but Xu Hui sighed sadly behind him, he knew that this was the case, so he shouldn't let Yang Kaishan speak for him.
"What? Really? Did I hear me right? β
"You want to put these more than 1,000 thieves to death?"
"Mayor Wu has said it, will there be a fake? Everyone is kneeling outside, but what battalion really dares to kill the prisoners? Aren't you afraid that God will blame you?"
Everyone was chattering and lively again......
Yang Kaishan came to Xu Hui with a smile and said in his ear: "I'll go to your side to ask for someone when it's over, remember not to let the madmen take the lead, brother, I'll go back and tell you about your relatives." β
After speaking, he patted Xu Hui on the shoulder, and left with a look of anger, leaving Xu Hui with a red face and red ears in place, or the soldiers on the side dragged the corners of his clothes before he came to his senses and ordered the execution.
As the heads fell to the ground, the city tower couldn't stop screaming up and down, but gradually as the smell of blood spread, many people retched, and some people shouted loudly with excitement on their faces, "Kill well!" β
When the last thief's head fell to the ground, the army of tigers and wolves in the thief army, the Jin family's army, was finally completely destroyed, and it was destined to be a page in history for 10,000 years......
