Chapter 375: Only the housekeeper is small
The city of Shuxian was full of flames, and Lu Kang picked up his sword very unskillfully with his left hand, and the sword was already bloodstained at the moment. His right hand slowly trembled from his arms and took out a piece of silk to clean up the blood stains on it, his right hand was cut by a traitor because of the previous defense of the city, and he was bandaged with silk silk at this time, and he couldn't hold a sword for the time being.
"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and he has the trust of His Majesty, today is the time for the minister to be loyal to His Majesty and the Han Dynasty!"
After speaking, Lu Kang was about to wipe his neck with a long sword, only to see a little cold light covering Lu Kang's neck, as if to completely envelop his old body bones.
"My lord! Cannot! ”
However, after all, he was holding the sword with his unaccustomed left hand, and when he shouted the words of observance before death, Lu Jun, who heard the movement beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and snatched the long sword in Lu Kang's hand at once.
Because of his martial arts, Lu Jun did not go to the city tower to fight when he was defending the city, but had been directing the young and strong to transport equipment and other things at the head of the city. Most of these people are teenagers about thirteen or fourteen years old, and there are no conscripts in the city, because of the shortage of troops, so this logistics can only be handed over to the old and weak women and children for transportation, and Lu Kang also has the intention of preserving a trace of Shu County's inheritance, and has not let these recruited teenagers go to the city tower to fight.
Although the Han Dynasty was still martial, after all, these children had not undergone systematic military training, and most of them were weak teenagers, so how could they be the opponents of those rebel soldiers who were also experienced in a hundred battles. Therefore, when Lu Kang knew that letting these children go upstairs would also send them to death, even if the rebel siege vehicles attacked the city just now, he did not let the old and weak children under the city tower come up.
"Rebel! Unfilial son! Lu Kang pointed to his eldest son's face and scolded, the sound of fighting in the city kept coming, getting closer and closer, he knew that this was caused by the increasing number of rebels landing on the city and constantly occupying the position of the city, and then said with a sad face: "The general trend has gone!" The tide is over! Rebel, return the sword quickly......"
"My lord, there are still hundreds of young people in the city, let them stop the enemy, and they will definitely be able to repel the rebels......" Lu Kang's tone became more and more intense, and he continued to scold, which frightened Lu Jun, but at this time he didn't dare to hand over his sword, unless it was really a last resort, he didn't stop his father from serving the country and keeping the festival, he just thought it was too early to keep the festival.
"Enough! The rebels are coming with siege towers, unless the sky is endless, the whole city will not be spared, hurry up and get the sword! ”
"......"
"Rebel! Hurry up ......"
"The rebel camp is on fire!"
"The thief army has retreated, kill quickly!"
"The Han army attacked the camp, brothers, go back and rescue our children!"
"Don't run away from thieves!"
……
No matter how Lu Kang scolded and cursed, Lu Jun just didn't nod, just as Lu Kang threatened Lu Jun again and wanted to snatch it directly, the strange voices of the Han army and the rebels suddenly came from the city tower.
The sound was different from the sound of the two armies fighting at this moment, but the sound of the Han army preparing to beat the water dogs, which made the father and son look at each other, with suspicious faces, and then went to the city tower together, but saw that the south of Shu County was already full of smoke at this moment, and the original rebel camp was even more black smoke.
In the rear of the rebels, Huang Sui saw that his army had climbed to the head of Shuxian County with the help of three siege towers, and almost filled the city, he was already so happy that he couldn't stop laughing, and this time he could finally raise his eyebrows.
Looking at the more and more of his own soldiers who came to the city from the siege tower at the head of the city, Huang Sui smiled left and right: "After the city is broken, I must cut the old thief Lu Kang with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in my heart." "Indeed, these days of attacking the city have really made him lose face, and his prestige has been swept away, and now, it is the time for him to prove the correctness of his uprising against the thugs from that Lu Kang, and it is the time for him to prove that the Han army is not worth mentioning in front of him.
Huang Sui didn't believe it, the Han army at the head of the city could still play the scene of the burning of the city with canned fire oil that day, you must know that this time you specially ordered the crossbowmen in the rear to suppress the Han army with arrows regardless of the enemy, just to prevent Lu Kang's old thief from playing this hand again. Now, the Han army at the head of the city has no other way out except after the city is broken, defeated and killed, and has been repelled by the Han army of Shu County for countless days, which has long made the rebel leader from Lujiang hate Shu County, and he does not want to give the Han army or even ordinary people in the city any way out at this moment.
Just when Huang Sui was so excited and proud that he was even ready to take people into the city to clean up Lu Kang, he heard the sound of countless people suddenly shouting "Han army attacking the camp" in the rear, and before anything could happen, he saw that countless people in front of the besieging troops were running back at once, and they didn't care about the orders of their commanders at all.
"Why? Why? ”
"General, look, the big camp is broken by the Han army!"
"Nonsense! The Han army is in ...... Yes! ”
Huang Sui asked left and right in surprise, he didn't understand why his subordinates would run away, this was not common sense at all, when the generals around him pointed to the back camp and said that the Han army broke the camp, he immediately refuted, because this was impossible. However, when he looked back and saw the countless black smoke rising from above his camp, as well as the flames rising from all over the camp, he suddenly exclaimed, and even missed, and fell directly from his horse to the ground.
After being helped up by everyone, Huang Sui's face was still very surprised, he didn't understand how the Han army came, how could he steal his camp so ghostly, and he didn't know it all along.
The Han army in Lujiang was surrounded by himself at the head of the city, and the scouts he scattered everywhere, especially in the direction of Jingzhou in the west and Liyang County in the east of Yangzhou Thorn History Department, Huang Sui was focused on waiting for monitoring, once these two places were close to his nearest Han army, he would definitely know the news, but now he didn't receive the news at all, plus he arranged soldiers and horses to garrison in the north and south of Shu County, so how could there be a Han army? Huang Sui absolutely does not believe this.
In fact, it stands to reason that it is normal for Huang Sui to be so sure, but he ignores that except for the more elite "Sui Army" that he regards as his henchman, the other rebels are all troops with poor military discipline, and it is difficult to guarantee how much he can carry out his orders if he puts them in his favor. What's more, the sneak attack soldiers and horses under the command of Fu Quan already have some experience in fishing in troubled waters, lurking on the way to Shu County, it is more than enough to deal with the soldiers he sent to search and loot in the south of Shu County, these factors combined, and finally led to the scene of his camp being attacked today, so he is going to lose, and it is not unjust to be defeated.
Of course, no matter how Huang Sui thought about the Han army that suddenly appeared and attacked his camp, the situation on the battlefield could not be changed, as more and more rebel soldiers kept shouting that the camp was attacked, and the Han army broke through the camp and killed people everywhere, the rebel camp continued to have soldiers turn around and go to the camp, ignoring the fact that they could attack Shuxian in one breath now.
"Stop! Hold it! Siege, siege! "On the battlefield under the city, a rebel general waved his sword and constantly scolded his fleeing soldiers, asking them to turn around and attack Shu County, but with little effect, and his soldiers who wanted to flee back to the camp did not listen to his orders at all.
"The big camp has been broken, and our families are all in it, who cares about this Shu County?"
"That's right! Right! Right! It's important to return to the camp! ”
……
"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! After seeing that the soldiers in front of him did not obey the order, the general was not easy to provoke, and directly waved the knife at the most powerful soldier in the soldier is a knife, only to hear the soldier "ah" shouted, and immediately became a ghost under the knife, and then heard the general shout: "There are more escapees, like this fang!" The voice was powerful, as if it had pierced everything, and the shock was very powerful when a pawn had just escaped, and a group of soldiers were dumbfounded.
Seeing the faces of the people around, the general was very satisfied, just wanted to train a few more words, and then ordered them to attack the city with themselves, at this moment, as long as people with a little vision know that they can break this Shu County with a little more force, and then what kind of big camp do you need to manage, isn't Shu County better than a big camp? Therefore, whoever goes back to the camp is stupid, and he doesn't even want the credit for it.
However, the general thought so, but the other soldiers did not think so, just when the general was about to scold, a cold light suddenly flashed behind him, and then he heard the general's "ah" shout, only to see that the general's neck directly stuck a big knife.
......With an incredible look, the general, with the last trace of strength, struggled to move his head on the neck stuck with the big knife, and saw that it was one of his confidants who slashed him with the knife, and muttered two words and swallowed.
Seeing this, a trace of guilt flashed on the soldier's face, but it quickly disappeared, gritted his teeth fiercely, and stepped forward to pull out the knife he stuck in the general's neck. With difficulty, he pulled out the long knife stuck in the neck bone of the general, and then the soldier looked at the people around him: "The big camp is in the rear, why don't you go to save your family?" ”
After speaking, he took the knife and took the lead to the burning camp, which had his widowed mother in the camp, his family was poor, and he was raised by his mother since he was a child, how could he let his mother suffer at this time, the reason why he joined the rebel army was not because the family had no land and no food, and he couldn't live, so he joined the rebel army and wanted to get rich and take care of his widowed mother?
A word woke up everyone, they were first stunned by the general's murder, and then they were shocked by the soldier's counter-killing of the general, and they didn't move for a while, and now when they heard the words of this little soldier, the rebel soldiers who originally wanted to save their families did not hesitate, turned around and left, and went straight to the camp.
This led to the retreat of other rebel soldiers on the battlefield, who were originally resolutely carrying out the general's orders, for most of the rebels, the small family is their weakness, if the small family is lost, it is Huang Sui in front of them, they dare to kill, not to mention others. After all, didn't the original reason why these rebels rebels rebelled against the uprising was to kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, overthrow the old dynasty, and then turn over themselves and become masters and lead their families to live a good life?
The scene was out of control for a while, and all the departments of the rebel camp, many of the generals who prevented the retreat of the soldiers under their command were killed by the soldiers, and of course, many soldiers were killed by the generals. However, between the generals and the soldiers, after all, there is a numerical disadvantage, and under the general trend, in the end, only more rebel soldiers retreated, and some of them did not dare to retreat The rebel generals also retreated, and they were the same as other retreating soldiers, they were also worried about their own small families, and the battlefield suddenly formed a kind of snowball "big escape"......
"Come back! Come back! How so! How so! Huang Sui shouted madly under the city, the soldiers and horses that were originally gathered beside him were suddenly reduced by more than half, and he couldn't accept it for a while, but he couldn't do anything, the rebels were a group of rabble in the end, what kind of organizational discipline could they have, not to mention the life and death of his family, who would fight for him?
However, although most of the rebel soldiers and horses ran away by themselves, there were always people who stayed, these people themselves were lonely and widowed, helpless, and had no family members, so they naturally would not turn back, but continued to attack the city, of course, there are also those who are ready to break the city and promote their merits regardless of their families at this moment, after all, time has never lacked people like Wu Qi who killed his wife and asked for officials.
It's just that the rebels are mostly gone after all, which suddenly relieved the Han army, which had been suppressed by the rebels with bows and crossbows at the head of Shuxian County, and as the rebel soldiers who were originally in the siege tower were about to retreat, they couldn't hold on to other soldiers who wanted to attack the city, and the number of people in the siege tower was reduced all of a sudden.
As we all know, the most powerful thing about the siege tower breaking the city is that it can continuously transport soldiers to the city, so as to slowly encroach on the city, but once the soldiers transported in the siege tower cannot keep up with the progress of the defenders to kill the enemy, those who are finally driven back by the defenders will only be the result of the city.
Seeing this, Lu Kang hurriedly shouted to Lu Jun: "Quick! He ordered the soldiers under the city to come to the rescue, and ordered the whole army to repel the rebels at the head of the city, bring more fire oil, and burn the siege tower. ”
In fact, there is no need for Lu Kangduo to say, the generals of the Han army are all people who are familiar with the siege tower, how can they not know this situation when they see this situation, only to see that there are hundreds of old and weak people on the head of the city, some of them are fifty or sixty years old, and some are teenagers, all of them are holding crossbows at the moment, and they are all holding crossbows at the head of the city, and they are sending surging crossbow arrows at the gathered rebels at the head of the city.
For these old and weak, Lu Kang didn't expect them to be able to fight the rebels hand-to-hand, and they all issued a short crossbow, in addition to letting them transport supplies, it was just used as an auxiliary long-range unit. However, it is clear that these fast-firing dense crossbow bolts at this moment have caused great damage to the rebels gathered at the head of the city......
