Because Liu Futong gave Zhang Shihua ten days to build these siege weapons, Zhang Shihua must make a batch of the most practical siege weapons for the Red Turban Army during this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info After all, the life and death of the current Red Turban Army are one, and Zhang Shihua attaches great importance to this aspect.

Therefore, after Zhang Shihua determined what he wanted to build these days, Zhang Shihua said to Yang Xitong with a sinking face: "Xitong In the next ten days, you will divide seven adult hands to build the cloud ladder and three adult hands to build the Linchong chariot, understand?" ”

"The subordinate obeys!" When Yang Xitong heard this, he immediately replied respectfully.

……

Next to the barracks of the Red Turban Army, thousands of soldiers and craftsmen were making siege equipment in the open space.

However, it is puzzling where so many craftsmen work, but there are not a few overseers in the open space of the campus. And what's even more strange is that there are obviously not a few overseers on the field, but none of the thousands of soldiers and craftsmen are lazy, and almost all of them are working there seriously.

"Hurry up, the brethren are nimble. The general said that the engineering team did the most work, and the general added a meat dish and steamed buns to each of the teams at night; But if the work done by that group is small and not up to standard, then this group will drink cold water and gnaw on the nest head at night. ”

"It's up to you whether you eat meat and bones with steamed buns at night, or drink cold water and gnaw on nests." A craftsman who seemed to be the leader, when he saw that the efficiency of his team was gradually being surpassed by other teams, this dark-skinned man with calloused hands couldn't help but shout.

And hearing this man's shout, more than a dozen people under his hands couldn't help but shout "Okay", but these people started to work in full swing again, and after the people on their side were numb, the people in the other groups were also afraid of being compared like this, so they couldn't help but speed up their hands.

In this way, these people were all introduced into healthy competition by Zhang Shihua by a small means.

At the same time, on the edge of this open space in the school field, Sheng Wenyu, the No. 2 literati in the Red Turban Army, saw this scene, and couldn't help but turn around and say to Sheng Wu, the commander of the personal guards, behind him: "Let's go back, I won't be needed here." ”

"But, sir. You are here to assist General Zhang on the orders of the marshal, and I am afraid it is not good to leave like this. ”

"We all underestimate General Zhang, he has the talent to govern the country, and he doesn't need me to help." After saying this, Sheng Wenyu shook his head and turned to leave, and when Sheng Wu saw this, he couldn't help but turn around and follow.

As for Zhang Shihua, because he didn't see Sheng Wenyu, he didn't know anything about it.

……

Three days later, under the supervision of Zhang Shihua, the Red Turban Army quickly completed the construction of ten ladders at an unimaginable speed, and even the four Linchong chariots built at the same time were also in the initial scale, according to this speed, Zhang Shihua had full confidence that he could build thirty cloud ladders and four Linchong chariots in the remaining seven days.

But are things really going this way?

On the fourth day of the Red Turban Army's construction of siege equipment, on the city wall of Ruyang City, the commander of the officers and soldiers, Mi Jiang, stood on the city wall, looking at the tall chariot of the fledgling scale next to the Red Turban Army camp not far away, and the brand-new ladders that had been completed and perfected, and couldn't help but sigh.

"No, we can't go on like this, if we wait until the red turban thief finishes building these engineering equipment, I will only be passively beaten on my side." Looking at the Red Turban Army camp not far away, Mi Jiang couldn't help but think of it in his heart.

So, after inspecting the city defense as usual, he saw Mi Jiang waving his hand and said to the guards behind him: "Go and gather the generals in the army, and say that I have something important to discuss with them." ”

When the guards heard this, they immediately obeyed the order and left.

A moment later, in a large mansion near the south of Ruyang Mansion City that was temporarily requisitioned by the government, the middle and high-level generals of Ruyang Mansion City gathered here this time. And on the main seat facing south, Mi Jiang, who was the commander of the officers and soldiers of Ruyang Mansion, also sat on the main seat with a majestic face at this time.

I saw Mi Jiang, who was sitting on the main seat, glanced at the generals under the hall with majestic eyes, and said loudly: "You must also know that the red turban thieves outside the city are now making every effort to build all kinds of siege equipment, and if we sit and wait for these red turban thieves to build siege equipment, then I am worried that it is very likely that we will repeat the defeat on the north bank of Rushui a few days ago." Because the general asked you to come over today, just to ask, who is willing to lead the army to attack at night tonight, and burn all kinds of siege equipment built by the Red Turban Thief Army for days. ”

However, when the generals and officials in the hall heard Mi Jiang's words, they were either speechless or bowed their heads and remained silent. Seeing this, Mi Jiang couldn't help but be angry, slapped the table in front of him with his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Why, under the general's account, there is no brave general who dares to go out of the city to kill the enemy?" ”

When the generals in the tent heard Mi Jiang's words, after looking at each other, there was really a thousand household officials who stood up.

"The last general, Yao Liang, is willing to lead the army to battle." After the Qianhu official stood up again, he clenched his fists and said to Mi Jiang.

Seeing this, Mi Jiang couldn't help but smile, only to see him smile and say to Yao Liang, the official of the thousand households: "Okay, Yao Qianhu is good." As long as Yao Qianhu can lead the army to burn the siege equipment of the red turban thieves outside the city, I will join forces with the prefect and the prison to ask for credit to the court for you. ”

And when Yao Liang heard Mi Jiang's words, he also lowered his head and clenched his fists and said loudly: "The last general will live up to the expectations of adults!" ”

……

Late at night, when most of the Red Turban Army outside Ruyang Mansion had already slept, at the south gate of Ruyang Mansion City, a cavalry with a size of about 300 people also quietly gathered.

And after these three hundred cavalry soldiers, Mi Jiang, who was under the command of the defenders of Ruyang City, was also riding on his horse at this time, and encouraged Yao Liang, a thousand households of the Han army who was about to go to battle: "Yao Qianhu, at this time, the princes of the court have always looked down on us southerners, and even looked down on our southerners soldiers, and even more even thought that our southerners were just a group of people who consumed rice and grain. ”

"And today, it's time for us to wash away our humiliation. The red turban thieves outside the city have now become a big disaster for the imperial court, if Yao Qianhu can lead troops to break the enemy tonight, not only can he be added to the rank of knight, but even his name will go down in history. And all this depends on Yao Qianhu. ”

And Yao Liang, who was riding on a horse, heard Mi Jiang's words, and couldn't help but raise his head and waist, and said to Mi Jiang in a firm tone: "Please general, relax, if the last general does not take down the siege weapons of the thief army for the general tonight, he will not return to the city to see the general." ”

After saying this, Yao Liang turned the horse's head and rode his horse in front of everyone.

Looking at the heavy city gate that was slowly opened, Yao Liang couldn't help but raise the weapon in his hand, turned his back to the three hundred cavalry behind him and shouted: "Wait for the order, this time you will go out of the city with me, after the battle, all the blades are bloody, and there is no injury in the back, and the reward is three thousand; Whoever can bring back the enemy's head will be rewarded with 5,000 !! for each head ”

When the three hundred cavalry behind him heard this, they immediately couldn't help but hit the small shield on his left arm with the scimitar in his hand and shouted, "Kill the thief!" Kill the thief! Kill the thief! ”

"Rush with me!" Looking at the city gate that was opened, Yao Liang took the lead and led three hundred cavalry to rush out of the city gate with lightning speed.

"Kill! ~~"The camp of the Red Turban Army outside Ruyang Mansion City is three or four miles away from Ruyang Mansion City, which is as if it does not exist for this group of crazy cavalry, that is, in the blink of an eye, these three hundred cavalry soldiers rode their horses and roared angrily, and rushed into the outermost camp set up by the Red Turban Army.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Some of the Red Turban sergeants who were patrolling at night couldn't help but shout hoarsely when they saw the three hundred cavalry rushing towards them.

"The officers and soldiers are here! The officers and soldiers are coming! "Although the Red Turban Army has noticed Yao Liang and them at the first time, don't forget that Yao Liang and they all have horses, and the three hundred cavalry charging at night is like a thunderbolt, although the Red Turban Army issued a warning at the first time, but Yao Liang's speed is so fast that the Red Turban Army can't help but be a little caught off guard.

Therefore, when Yao Liang and the others rushed to the outermost camp, there was still some confusion on the side of the Red Turban Army.

However, Yao Liang, who commanded the night attack of the 300 officers and soldiers, did not fall in love with the red turban thieves because of the vulnerability of the red turban thieves, because he knew that the nearly 40,000 red turban troops were not shaken by his 300 cavalry. After all, judging from the current reaction ability of the Red Turban Army, at most, it will be a quarter of an hour, and the large army of the Red Turban Thieves will surround him, if he is delaying time here in vain now, then after the arrival of the Red Turban Army's large army, he will definitely be unable to escape.

Therefore, after Yao Liang led 300 troops to enter the outermost camp of the Red Turban Army, he ignored the chaotic Red Turban soldiers on the periphery of the barracks, but went straight to the southeast, close to the open space of the Red Turban Army's outer barracks.

"That place is where the Red Turban Thieves build all kinds of siege equipment, as long as you can take advantage of the chaos to burn all kinds of siege equipment that the thief army has built in the past few days, you will be considered to be done." Thinking like this, after Yao Liang slashed another soldier, he couldn't help shouting: "Brothers, kill with me!" ”

"Kill! ~~" When the three hundred officers and soldiers heard this, they all shouted vigorously.

And those Red Turban soldiers who wanted to stop them couldn't help but be terrified when they saw this, the Red Turban Army Outer Battalion, which was already a little chaotic, was really rushed out by them when they were so desperate to attack Yao Liang and them.

"Soldiers, make meritorious contributions, and now we will do it!" With three hundred horsemen who were like a bamboo, looking at Yao Liang, who was about to kill in the open space of the school field not far away, he couldn't help but shout like this at this time.

"Kill!" Three hundred officers and soldiers shouted again. Then they followed their general into the open space of the school yard with great force and momentum.

However, perhaps Yao Liang and the others were so excited that Yao Liang didn't even notice that this open space where at least nearly a thousand people were stationed was quiet and terrifying at this time.

"Shoot the arrows!" Suddenly, a shout rang out in the darkness ahead. Then they saw a rain of arrows composed of hundreds of arrows in the darkness, like lightning rushing towards Yao Liang and them.

"It's not good, there's a buried ...... Yes. An officer and soldier who wanted to shout was killed in an instant by the oncoming arrow. At the same time, dozens of officers and knights, like him, were shot off their horses by a rain of arrows.

"General, are you alright? Checkmate! Checkmate! A guard beside Yao Liang looked at Yao Liang, who was accidentally shot by an arrow, and couldn't help but shout.

And besides, Yao Liang, at this time he was also a man, although he was hit by arrows in his legs at this time, but he was still fearless, but angrily shouted in the direction where the arrows came: "Whoever wants to die, report your name!" ”

"Grandpa Guo Yu is here, that thief is calling grandpa!" Hearing Yao Liang's words, the lights on the opposite side suddenly turned on, but he saw that nearly a thousand heavily armed red turban soldiers had already ridden their horses and stared at them. And before these people, he was a young general riding a black horse, holding a steel sword, and wearing armor.

And looking at the general's appearance, it seems that he is only in his twenties. Needless to say, there is no doubt that this person is Guo Yu.

However, after Yao Liang saw Guo Yu, he was not afraid at all, but sarcastically said loudly with disdain: "Who I was at the time, it turned out to be just a stinky child, today you are willing to seek death, grandpa, I will give you a ride!" ”

As he spoke, he saw Yao Liang roaring, and despite the injuries on his body, he resolutely rode his horse and led his troops to kill Guo Yu.

When Guo Yu saw this, he couldn't help but laugh angrily, yelled, and then led hundreds of elite soldiers under his command to meet the battle.

Looking at Guo Yu and the others who rushed over at him, Yao Liang couldn't help but show a cruel smile on his face, but when he saw him holding a scimitar at Guo Yu who rushed towards him, he roared disdainfully: "Ignorant child, give me death!" ”

"Kill!" A loud shout of killing came, but a flash of sword light was seen. The officer and soldier Yao Liang was actually cut into two pieces by Guo Yulian with a knife.

The blood on Yao Liang's body suddenly rose to the sky, but Guo Yu didn't look at it, but just yelled disdainfully "vulnerable", and then wanted to hold a knife and re-enter the enemy formation.

However, Yao Liang is dead, where do the remaining officers and soldiers dare to fight with such a fierce god. Morale plummeted, and in less than a moment, these more than 200 officers and soldiers were defeated by Guo Yu and them.

Moreover, in this red turban barracks, these individuals had nowhere to escape even if they wanted to, so after Guo Yu raised his knife and shouted "disarm and don't kill", the remaining more than 100 people happily became Guo Yu's prisoners.
