Chapter 334: The Thieves Retreat
Wow yesββββ there were bursts of shouting, the hungry people, the old thieves all rushed to the city wall, holding various weapons in their hands, with a look of fear on their faces, they were also about to collapse, these old thieves couldn't withstand this kind of high-intensity battle, not to mention that the other party was still such a terrifying enemy.
The thieves rushed up the city wall, and Zhao Zhong swooped ββββ arrow into the old thief's neck with precision, avoiding his iron armor, and he screamed and fell off the city wall. Zhao Zhong immediately pulled out the short knife on his waist, with a cold look in his eyes.
Xiao Chuan on the side saw the combat effectiveness of this Orion, with a trace of surprise on his face, these soldiers are good in combat effectiveness, but they were dragged down by the original group of pig teammates, and suddenly, he thought that maybe he could change his style of only snatching every time he went to a place in the future, which should not be called recruiting craftsmen, and at the same time, he could also recruit veterans from other troops, pry the wall, and recruit those veterans who have combat effectiveness and no bad habits.
In this way, you can quickly replenish your strength, so I am afraid that you will offend those military leaders! However, it also allowed Xiaochuan to find a new way to expand his strength, originally worried that those troops would have some soldiers with a bad style like rat, but this time the recruitment made Xiaochuan taste the sweetness, and since then, the first hoe of the Ming Dynasty was born.
The shaking of the city wall made Xiao Chuan decide to start planning to engage in street fighting, and now he had to think about how to explain the origin of these soldiers after he summoned an army of 60,000 Huns. Such a shocking thing, 60,000 barbarians, don't explain? It's okay, but it will be hated by various forces, a local commander, and 60,000 nomadic cavalry.
And if not, if you don't summon the 60,000 troops The city wall is broken, and it becomes a tactic to summon 1,100 by yourself, it is the city wall of Nanyang, Xiaochuan got off the city wall and came to the city, and a group of black-clothed assassins in the blood killing group behind him were looking for a suitable place in the city, looking at the people on both sides who looked frightened, and suddenly thought of the drunkard who cast the artillery.
"By the way, Bai He, how is the drunkard's daughter, have you found it?" Ogawa asked curiously, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
"No, lord, we searched in the city, we searched outside the city, and there was no one among Zhang Xianzhong's hungry people!" Bai He said, with loneliness in his tone, there is obviously only one possibility for this situation.
Xiao Chuan thought that the old man's daughter was also dead, and he couldn't live, and said: "It's better to kidnap him in the future, no, please go to our Shunchang Fort, this time he can't live alone, can he live well when he arrives in Shunchang Fort." β
"Not necessarily dead, and there's still a place in the city that hasn't been searched, my lord," Hakutsuru said. looked at the direction of Ogawa's own military camp in front of him.
"How is it possible, it can't be, how can it be in our army, haha" Xiao Chuan smiled, thought of the death of the old man's daughter again, shook his head again, and continued to walk forward.
****
The sound of artillery outside the city sounded in the sky, the thief gunner kept firing the cannon, there were already seven or eight thieves' corpses behind the Franc machine, which were burned into char by the leaked firearms, Zhang Xianzhong personally stood not far from the Franc machine, and said: "Fire, fire, the artillery is not allowed to stop, the artillery stops for a quarter of an hour, and the gunner is executed!" He said coldly. The voice was indescribable.
A group of gunners knew that the artillery was on fire, and the gunners were easy to burn when the guns were fired, and they risked their lives to keep loading gunpowder. β
A group of gunners were immediately overjoyed and continued to fire cannons in fear, while Zhang Xianzhong looked at the Ming army wall with a stunned look in his eyes, as if it would collapse at any time, speechless, with an inexplicable hope in his eyes! .
An army of thieves rushed towards the city wall, one by one cloud ladders were erected on the city wall, they moved quickly, and the one who rushed to the front was Liu Wenxiu, the son of Zhang Xianzhong, who was wielding a thick-backed machete, with a bright light armor, and quickly drank the old thieves nearby, letting them go forward.
The piles of thieves' corpses under the walls of the city put tremendous pressure on the besieging thieves. A group of thieves quickly climbed the net against the wall, and they moved quickly.
The thief led by him was vigorous, but he was not wearing armor and held a sword and shield directly, quickly dodged the arrow cluster on the ladder, and climbed to the head of the city, poofββββ
An arrow passed straight through his neck, blood flowed out instantly, he clutched his neck, and fell off the city wall with a miserable howl.
Wang Huaiming glanced at Zhao Zhong in his team and nodded, "Yes, the combat effectiveness of these surviving rebels is good." β
At this time, a group of thieves are attacking, they look crazy, at this moment the hungry people and young people come to attack the city are looking for death, there is no use at all, they are directly old thieves attacking the city.
The thieves howled and rushed up the wall, touching the two musketeers ββββ skillfully opening their guns, and the two thieves let out a terrible howl and fell to the wall.
The thieves climbed up again, the sword and shield hand javelin thrown, several thieves were a little confused, and the wolf Xian stepped forward, and the bamboo-like weapon in his hand was waved up, entangled the thieves.
The pikemen on the side stepped forward instantly, and the spear in his hand stabbed straight into the thief.
The thieves were repelled one after another, but at this moment, an unusual thief came up, it was Liu Wenxiu, this Liu Wenxiu who used a thick-backed machete. He roared and rushed up.
Wang Huaiming immediately stood with him, the two weapons were staggered, with a sound of collision, a burst of sparks flashed, Wang Huaiming was a little anxious, but he found that the thief in front of him had superb sword skills, which was comparable to his own strength.
The two fought again, Liu Wenxiu's knife technique was like flowing water, endless, and Wang Huaiming's spear was like a spiritual snake.
The two of them struck and retreated at the same time. Poofββββ where Liu Wenxiu retreated, an arrow went straight into his chest, and his face turned pale with pain.
At this time, Wang Huaiming moved, he moved quickly, stepped forward and stabbed him in the chest, looked at Zhao Zhong on the side, nodded, and said, "Good job, brother!" The timing of the archery is very good," he admired, and the timing of the archery could not have been better at such a backward time.
Zhao Zhong showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and said, "Hehe, general, my father said, this arrow, you have to pick up the prey when you are most distracted, shoot him with an arrow!"
Wang Huaiming smiled and looked at the city wall, the thief had faded like a tide at the moment.
The thieves are back! The two suddenly heard a burst of cheers that shook the sky, the thief cheered like a tide, but it was the thief who called Jin to withdraw his troops, Wang Huaiming looked at the outside of the city strangely, the thief Mingjin? Why, he looked out of the city curiously, and couldn't figure out why the thieves suddenly retreated at this time?
