In this way, this group of positions that the Red Turban Army could not attack on weekdays fell into the hands of the Red Turban Army with great ease today, under the bombardment of eighty trebuchets, and even the Red Turban Army did not lose a single soldier because of it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Therefore, when the Red Turban Army established a new siege camp on the other side of the river under Liu Futong's order, the excited Liu Futong couldn't help but walk to Zhang Shihua's side, took Zhang Shihua's hand and said: "Bochang, you deserve to be the first in this siege." ”

However, such a compliment not only made Zhang Shihua frown, but also made the other generals of the Red Turban Army around him look at Zhang Shihua with a little more strange and unconcealed. After all, now that the city of Ruyang has not yet been laid, Liu Futong will point Zhang Shihua to the head of the generals, although Zhang Shihua has now established a lot of credit, but it is inevitably a little too much.

After all, a person like Zhang Shihua, who was in a high position at a young age, was originally the kind of existence in the Red Turban Army, and now Liu Futong praised him in front of everyone like this, which is really jealous.

Although it is said: "It is mediocre to not attract envy." "But what Zhang Shihua is doing now is a business of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and at this time when the power of the Red Turban Army and the imperial court is too different, it is not a good thing to be too sharp. You must know that since ancient times, those who have become emperors by rebellion are all people who come from behind.

Therefore, after Zhang Shihua heard Liu Futong's words, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted Liu Futong: "In this battle, the last general only has the merit of making suggestions, and he can't be praised by the marshal." If you want to talk about the merits, it should be the many soldiers in our army who were born and died. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shihua once again attributed his credit to the soldiers, Liu Futong glanced at the people around him, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a hint of understanding. Therefore, he smiled and diverted the topic, and did not mention it next.

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Futong's big tent of the Chinese army seemed to be because of yesterday's big victory that made Liu Futong have a good mood, so today's Liu Futong's face is no longer majestic in the past, but full of smiles. I saw him smile and say to the generals in the tent: "In the battle yesterday, our army won a great victory without spending a single soldier, but today, I don't know which general is willing to lead his troops to attack the city?" ”

In the past, the generals of the Red Turban Army, who were quite negative about the war in Ruyang, heard Liu Futong's words today, but they were enthusiastic one by one, and even after Liu Futong's voice fell, three or four generals took the initiative to stand up and ask Liu Futong for battle.

Even Han Wunuhan, who relied on Zhang Shihua to get the opportunity to come here to participate in the war, but compared to Han Wunuhan's enthusiasm, Zhang Shihua's reaction at this time was very flat. There was no sadness or joy on his face, and people couldn't guess what he was thinking.

However, Liu Futong, who already felt that victory was in his hands at this time, did not pay attention to Zhang Shihua, who was deliberately low-key, but looked at the people who were eager to fight, and felt that the military spirit was available. Therefore, after Liu Futong saw these people's enthusiastic invitations to fight, he did not think much about them and approved their invitation.

And those who asked for war couldn't help but smile after hearing that Liu Futong approved their invitation to fight, and even in such an atmosphere, those generals who failed to obtain the qualifications to participate in the war at this time couldn't help but show loss on their faces. Just looking at them like this, it seems that they are not going to fight but to collect credit for nothing, and it is also like the officers and soldiers defending the city in Ruyang City, who will definitely be as vulnerable as yesterday under the attack of trebuchets.

But is this really the case?

Looking at these self-righteous guys, the corners of Zhang Shihua's mouth raised a disdainful smile.

"Remember to eat or not to fight." Looking at this group of self-righteous guys, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but think of these five words. "This group of idiots, they don't want to think about it, if Ruyang City is really so easy to fight, then how could Luo Wensu and Han Yan'er suffer such a big loss before."

"Could it be that these guys really think trebuchets can solve everything? Are you kidding. You must know that in yesterday's battle, the reason why the Red Turban Army was able to defeat the officers and soldiers without spending a single soldier was not all the 80 trebuchets there, but more importantly, because Zhang Shihua hid the news of the trebuchets so well that when the war started, the officers and soldiers were caught off guard, so that when they failed to react, they were defeated by the Red Turban Army with lightning speed. ”

"However, don't forget that although the officers and soldiers were defeated by the Red Turban Army, it was only defeated. The commander of the officers and soldiers was a smart man at first glance, understood the truth of a strong man's broken wrist, and took the initiative to abandon the Rushui defense line at a time of crisis, so that his own losses were minimized. ”

"In this way, there will be at least 20,000 officers and soldiers in the current Ruyang Mansion City. In this case, the Red Turban Army still wants to use a mere eighty trebuchets to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, which is simply unrealistic. This time, the Red Turban Army had to break his head because of his arrogance. Looking at this scene, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but think like this in his heart.

However, although Zhang Shihua understood this truth in his heart, he was not ready to use this to persuade Liu Futong. "After all, Liu Futong and the generals of the Red Turban Army are now empty-eyed, and if they stand up at this time, not only will they not be recognized, but they will be considered by some narrow-minded people who think that they are blocking the way of others."

"A thankless task like this would only be done when you are crazy. Besides, for these people, suffering losses is a blessing, isn't it? Looking at the generals of the Red Turban Army who were about to lead troops to attack the city, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but think of it in his heart.

However, just as the Red Turban Army was preparing to attack the city, in the city of Ruyang Mansion not far away, Mi Jiang, who was the commander of the officers and soldiers of Ruyang Mansion City, was also ready to regroup to resist the next attack of the Red Turban Army.

In a school field in the south of Ruyang Mansion that had been forcibly expanded by officers and soldiers who had demolished a large number of houses, Mi Jiang was sitting on a high platform on the north side of the school yard with a majestic face.

I saw Mi Jiang looking at the nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers who were defeated by the Red Turban Army with trebuchets yesterday under the high platform, and waved his hand at Mi Han, the commander of his personal guard, with a majestic face.

Looking at these soldiers who were pressed up, there could not help but sound a panic among the officers and soldiers, but before they could talk, they saw Mi Jiang standing up slowly on his seat, striding to the high platform, and shouting at them: "Look, these people are those deserters who were afraid of death yesterday. ”

"Yesterday, under the attack of the Red Turban Thieves, it was because they took the initiative to flee that they disrupted our military morale and made us lose the Rushui defense line in vain; It also makes today, so that those red turban thieves have the opportunity to come to the city! They think they'll survive by doing this, and I tell you, how wrong! ”

"If you don't listen to the constraints and run away from the battle, there is only one end, and that is, death!"

After speaking, Mi Jiang didn't look at the three hundred soldiers who kowtowed and begged for mercy below, and directly threw the beheading order in his hand to the ground. Seeing this, the three hundred executioners who were in charge of the execution also lit up their steel knives one after another, slashing them one by one, and beheaded those deserters.

The remaining nearly 10,000 soldiers couldn't help but feel chills down their spines when they looked at the blood and corpses all over the ground in front of them, and even some timid soldiers were directly frightened and incontinent when they saw this. However, Mijiang is very satisfied with this. "In troubled times, we should use heavy codes. so that the pawn is more afraid of the law than death, and the pawn will not dare not fight to the death. These two words, Mi Jiang has always been the most agreeable.

Therefore, after shocking these soldiers with the bloodiest means, Mi Jiang also commanded these soldiers majestically: "Everyone obeys my orders, follow me to the city, and resist the thief army!" ”

"Yes!" Nearly 10,000 soldiers shouted.

……

Outside the city, under the order of Liu Futong, the Red Turban Army gathered nearly 10,000 Red Turban soldiers and soldiers also attacked the officers and soldiers defending the city of Ruyang Mansion under the suppression of 80 trebuchets.

However, it is a pity that because of the relationship between the city walls, the trebuchet is not a big threat to the officers and soldiers defending the city, and often a round of stone throwing attacks, that is, it can kill twenty or thirty people, which is insignificant for the battle situation between the two sides.

Moreover, more importantly, compared with the cowardice and timidity of yesterday's officers and soldiers, today's officers and soldiers defending the city can be described as fearless of death under the shock of Mijiang. So much so that from the beginning of the war to the present, it has always been in a state of anxious entanglement.

"Rush!" The earth-shattering roar came, but it was a wave of red turban soldiers, holding high shields and long siege ladders towards Ruyang Mansion City, but there were too many strong bows and crossbows in Ruyang Mansion City, and this wave of red turban soldiers with a scale of 1,000 people had not even touched the city wall, so they were repelled by the defenders of Ruyang City with a rain of arrows.

"Whoosh~~Whoosh~~Whoosh" arrows came like rain, and the screams of the red turban sergeants were also everywhere, looking at the soldiers under his command who had nearly 100 casualties in a short time, Han Wunuhan couldn't hold on anymore. "Withdraw your troops! Withdraw troops! Han Wunuhan, who was supervising the battle behind the formation, couldn't help but shout like this.

And the red turban sergeants who were fighting on the front line, when they heard Han Wunuhan's words, they immediately hurriedly retreated against the enemy's arrow rain.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers guarding the city wall couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers, because this had already repelled the attack of the third wave of the Red Turban Army.

"Bastard! Han Wunuhan, this bastard, who made him withdraw his troops! After the battle, Luo Wensu, who was in charge of commanding this battle, looked at the red turban sergeant who had retreated again in front of him, and couldn't help yelling angrily. However, just as he was about to use military law to forcibly let Han Wunuhan and them go into battle, a soldier riding a horse suddenly came here.

"The marshal has an order, Mingjin withdraws his troops!"

"What, withdraw your troops!" When Luo Wensu heard this, he yelled angrily.

"The marshal has an order, order the general to withdraw his troops!" Seeing this, the herald couldn't help but bow his head, kneel on one knee, and said respectfully to Luo Wensu.

"Ahh I'm! Hearing this, Luo Wensu yelled angrily, but after all, he didn't dare to disobey Liu Futong's orders, although he was unwilling in his heart, he still withdrew his troops according to the order.

"The red turban thief has withdrawn, the red turban thief has withdrawn!" Looking at the Red Turban Army that was repelled by their own side, the officers and soldiers defending the city on the city wall of Ruyang couldn't help but shout with joy.

Seeing this, Luo Wensu, who was commanding the battle outside the city, couldn't help but sigh, because he knew that with his defeat this time, Ruyang City would undoubtedly be even more difficult to attack.

……

On the second day, outside Ruyang City, with the assistance of eighty trebuchets, the Red Turban Army once again carried the siege ladder and launched an attack on Ruyang City.

"Kill! The marshal has an order, and those who climb the city wall first will be promoted to the second level and rewarded with five hundred taels of silver! ”

"Rush!" Hearing this, the morale of thousands of red turban soldiers was immediately high, and they immediately saw them carrying the siege ladder and frantically attacking the city of Ruyang.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the red turban sergeant was attacking again, thousands of strong archers on the side of the officers and soldiers also shot the arrows in their hands frantically towards the red turban sergeant outside the city in the roar of the general.

"Kill!" Although one after another red turban sergeants fell on the way to charge, there were still countless soldiers holding high Zhang Shihua's special shield, frantically rushing towards Ruyang Mansion City.

I have to say that Zhang Shihua's special shield is still very effective, under the cover of this special shield and trebuchet, this time the red turban sergeant finally succeeded in attacking the edge of the city wall.

Looking at the soldiers who had already attacked under the city wall, Luo Wensu, who was still commanding this operation, couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Quick, build me a long ladder, the ants will attack the city, and hit it!" ”

However, Luo Wensu was obviously excited too early this time, and the guards of Ruyang City did not wait for the Red Turban Army to set up a long ladder to attack the city, and nearly a thousand God Arm Crossbowmen aimed their flickering crossbow arrows at the Red Turban soldiers under the city.

"Shoot the arrows!" There was another roar like this, and then nearly a thousand God-armed crossbowmen shot their crossbow arrows at the same time.

"Whoosh~~" A soldier with a big shield was still shot by this terrible weapon under the barrier of the big shield. This condescending arrow even directly shot the Red Turban Army besieging the city through it.

Those who were shot in the head by the arrows should have been the best at this time, and the unstoppable power of the arrows took their lives in an instant, so that they did not feel any pain, but those who were shot in the limbs and bodies by the special small arrows of the crossbow of the god arm let out an inhuman howl as if they had been subjected to the most terrible torture of time.

"Save me, save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"

"Please, kill me, give me a ...... Joyfully...... Give me a ...... "A soldier who was shot by a crossbow in the arm of the god was crying out for help, or begging someone to kill him with a distorted face in pain.

The blood and wails simply turned the square inch outside the city wall into a terrifying Shura hell.
