And the commander of the personal guard behind Chu Tianlu saw Chu Tianlu like this, and after singing a fat promise, he hurriedly retreated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info After all, he didn't want to be the punching bag of Chutian Road outside the city at this time.

"I'm waiting to meet the general, fortunately with the protection of the general, and the last general will be fortunate not to disgrace his life!" After Zhang Zhi and the other ten people successfully completed the task, the ten warriors who returned triumphantly were also personally received by Zhang Shihua.

Therefore, after Zhang Zhi and several others saw Zhang Shihua, they couldn't help but bow to Zhang Shihua in unison.

And Zhang Shihua, who was surrounded by many pro-guards under his command, with a majestic face, heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are really a tiger." ”

"Come, give each of the ten warriors a meritorious service, and reward each of them ten taels of silver, in recognition of their bravery today." After praising these ten people, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but laugh like this.

And Zhang Zhi, who was kneeling on one knee, heard Zhang Shihua's words, and they also bowed in unison with joy on their faces: "The last general will wait for General Xie to reward." "After all, let's not talk about the ten taels of silver, that one merit is already a great reward, you must know that under Zhang Shihua's regulations, after a person is recorded three times, then no matter how big or small the official position is, he can be promoted to one level.

Therefore, when the guards heard that Zhang Shihua was going to give these people such a reward, they couldn't help but feel a little envious when they looked at these ten people.

However, what they didn't expect even more was that just as the ten people were about to retreat, Zhang Shihua, who was riding on a horse, looked at Zhang Zhi but said with a smile: "I remember that you have the same surname as me, and your name is Zhang Zhi, right?" ”

"General Lao remembers, the last general Zhang Zhi bows to the general!" Hearing that Zhang Shihua actually said his name all of a sudden, Zhang Zhi's face couldn't help but show a touch of excitement. After all, he was not from the Inspection Division, and he never thought that Zhang Shihua would remember the name of such a small person as him.

Therefore, after being excited, he couldn't help but knock a song to Zhang Shihua.

When Zhang Shihua saw this, he waved his hand with a smile and stood up again, and smiled at him: "Zhang Zhi, you are very good, I only knew that you were a night keeper before, but I didn't expect you to have such a good skill." ”

"Today, you have killed three enemies alone, which has greatly increased the morale of our army, and you have indeed made a great contribution. Come, take it, this saber has been rewarded to you, I hope you can make another miraculous contribution to our army in the future. Saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but untie the sword at his waist with a smile on his face and handed it to Zhang Zhi.

However, Zhang Zhi, who was kneeling on one knee, saw this, not only did not take the sword handed by Zhang Shihua as soon as possible, but was stunned. In fact, not only the party Zhang Zhi was stunned, but even the guards guarding Zhang Shihua's side were also stunned.

That's right, Zhang Shihua's subordinates all know that Zhang Shihua himself has the habit of rewarding his personal belongings to his subordinates. But everyone knows that Zhang Shihua's rewards are mostly some jade pendants and some other small things.

For Zhang Shihua, these things are actually just a simple reward and do not have much significance. For example, Zhao Jiu, over the years, Zhang Shihua has rewarded him with seven or eight jade pendants.

But compared to jade pendants, swords and swords are different. There are so many generals under Zhang Shihua's command, and the number of people who have received swords and swords from Zhang Shihua is less than ten.

Even a tiger warrior like Deng Hu, who was praised by Zhang Shihua himself, did not receive a sword reward from Zhang Shihua.

Therefore, the meaning of the reward of the sword is very different, which often represents that Zhang Shihua really values this person. So when Zhang Zhi saw that Zhang Shihua was going to give him the sword, he was stunned. After all, for a martial artist like them, what is more worthy of their excitement than the recognition and appreciation of the lord.

However, excitement is excitement, and Zhang Zhi's reaction is not slow. No, the moment he saw that Zhang Shihua was going to give him the sword, after being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but take the sword handed by Zhang Shihua with both hands full of excitement.

And he was extremely grateful to Zhang Shihua and shouted: "The last general...... The last general will thank the general, and the last general will live up to the general's expectations, and he will do his best for our army and the general. After saying this, Zhang Zhi couldn't help but kneel on his knees and made a big bow to Zhang Shihua.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua also turned over and dismounted, and helped him up with a smile. And after helping him Zhang Zhi up, Zhang Shihua patted the dust on Zhang Zhi's body even more kindly, and smiled at Zhang Zhi: "Haha, I can get the heart of a hero like you today, I am really happier than I am to build a city." ”

Saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.

When the surrounding officers and soldiers saw this scene, their hearts couldn't help but rise with a raging fighting spirit.

"He Zhang Zhixing, I will do it too, he will do this to him Zhang Zhi one day, and he will be given a sword by the general." Everyone silently looked at Zhang Zhi, who was smiling, but they couldn't help but think of it in their hearts.

And Zhang Shihua also knows this. Therefore, after Lang Xiao praised Zhang Zhi, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but look at the generals around him, and ordered in a loud voice: "Gentlemen, listen to the order, tomorrow morning, our army will attack the city in a big way." The battle will be up to you, brothers. ”

"I will live up to the general's trust! He will live up to the general's trust! He will live up to the general's trust! ......" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, the subordinates who had already been infected by Zhang Shihua couldn't help but shout in unison.

And hearing hundreds of black-clothed soldiers roaring like this, Zhang Shihua, who seemed to be in high spirits, couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter.

At the same time, when Zhang Shihua was smiling, Chu Tianlu, the officer and soldier guard on the opposite side, saw this scene, and the little confidence in his heart couldn't help but drop by three points.

……

Early the next morning, that is, on the morning of the 29th, after breakfast, thousands of black-clothed soldiers, under the personal command of Zhang Shihua, pressed towards the Liangxian city wall not far away.

This time, Zhang Shihua, who had a great advantage in troops, did not adopt the classic siege method of encircling the city.

Instead, when his combat strength far exceeded that of the enemy, he chose to concentrate his forces on attacking Liang Xian's eastern city.

So at this time, one after another ladders were pushed to the foot of the city wall by the soldiers of the black-clothed army waiting for the dense rain of arrows on the city wall. And the huge crash car, made of hardwood and wrapped in iron leaf, was pushed by hundreds of soldiers holding wooden curtains and leather curtains to the closed gate of the city in one fell swoop.

And from such a big deal, it can also be seen that this time Zhang Shihua is planning to take down this county seat, which is regarded as the gateway by the officials of Ruzhou City.

……

"Kill!" After seeing the black-clothed sergeants like a tide coming, although the officers and soldiers were extremely timid in their hearts, under the whipping and scolding of the respective generals behind them, these soldiers still mustered up the courage in their hearts, and roared like this, shooting arrows like rain at the black-clothed sergeants who had killed.

However, these arrows obviously did not play much use in this battle. No, in just a quarter of an hour, hundreds of soldiers in heavy armor in front of them pushed and carried all kinds of siege equipment to the foot of the city wall with the arrows of the officers and soldiers.

"Throw me wood and gold juice, and don't let these thieves come up under any circumstances!" Seeing hundreds of black-clothed soldiers slaughtering at the foot of the city wall so fearlessly, Chu Tianlu, who commanded the battle, was terrified in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but roar like this.

On the side of the officers and soldiers, hearing Chu Tianlu's roar, countless sassal trees, boulders, and dozens of pots of stinking dung juice smashed into the black-clothed army under the city wall.

"Ahh ~~" The moment the gold juice was poured and the boulder fell, the black-clothed soldiers in the city who were unfortunately recruited also let out an extremely painful roar.

After all, these things are different from others, whether it is wood, boulders, or gold juice, they are not armor that can be guarded against. In particular, the pain brought by the golden juice, which burns almost to boil, when it is poured on the body with a split head and a face, is simply more terrible than the burning of fire.

Therefore, when dozens of black-clothed soldiers were unfortunately poured with gold juice, those comrades beside them, in order to prevent them from enduring this inhuman pain, had to grit their teeth with tears and give them a good time.

"Kill, kill me, kill all these dogs and tartars, and avenge the brethren!" Seeing that his brothers and comrades on his side lost their lives in vain, the rest of the black-clothed sergeants were also indignant. Therefore, after the gold juice of the defending officers and soldiers was poured and smashed, these black-clothed sergeants not only did not retreat, but shouted and climbed the ladder to kill the officers and soldiers on the city wall.

"General be careful!" Just as the white blades of the two armies intersected, a sudden exclamation sounded. When he looked closely, it was a personal guard next to Chu Tianlu, who threw Chu Tianlu to the ground in order to make Chu Tianlu dodge the short axe that flew from nowhere.

"General, are you alright?" After knocking Chu Tianlu down, several guards who had been guarding Chu Tianlu's side couldn't help but ask Chu Tianlu like this while protecting Chu Tianlu and retreating.

And Chu Tianlu, who seemed to be afraid, heard the words of his guards, and after touching his body and shaking his head, he couldn't help but say: "I'm fine, but I don't know where this flying axe came from?" ”

Hearing that he was still in the mood to ask at this time, his personal guard commander breathed a long sigh of relief in the direction, and then he couldn't help but point to a cloud ladder on the right side of the city wall with his hand and said: "Just now a thief came up from here, and after seeing you, the general, this thief actually threw the weapon in his hand directly." ”

"But don't worry, general, this thief has already been punished, and we have also rearranged the defense line here."

However, hearing the words of the guards beside him, Chu Tianlu not only did not feel relieved, but the horror in his eyes intensified.

"Oh my God, it's only been less than half an hour since the battle began, and this black-clothed army has already touched the city wall. How good is this, how is it good! Thinking like this in his heart, Chu Tianlu's expression became more and more frightened.

However, just when Chu Tianlu was frightened, outside the city, the offensive of the black-clothed army became more and more fierce.

After all, the long-term fighting and conquest have already reborn these soldiers under Zhang Shihua. Therefore, when Zhang Shihua's order to attack was issued, these meek sheep-like soldiers under Zhang Shihua couldn't help but show their crazy and terrifying side at this time.

Thousands of officers and soldiers guarded by nearly 2,000 young and strong men who were forcibly conscripted, the offensive they launched was still terrifying, but in front of this group of black-clothed soldiers who were not afraid of death, they were extremely powerless.

In just over half an hour, a black-clothed soldier who was wearing heavy armor but was still extremely agile couldn't help but kill the city wall one after another.

And such a scene undoubtedly announced one point, that is, the defeat of the officers and soldiers defending the army was inevitable.

……

"General, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops. This city can't be saved, and it's too late if you don't leave. When he saw hundreds of black-clothed soldiers roaring and killing the city wall, the commander of the personal guard beside Chu Tianlu pulled Chu Tianlu's arm, and he couldn't help but say the same.

When Chu Tianlu heard this, he glanced at the officers and soldiers who were on the verge of defeat in just one hour, and after a flash of struggle flashed in his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly: "Pass my military order, abandon the city wall, and everyone and Ben will retreat to the west gate." After saying this, Chu Tianlu couldn't help but retreat under the escort of everyone beside him.

And the nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers defending the city saw this, and they had no courage at all. Therefore, after the black-clothed army roared and launched another charge, these officers and soldiers and defenders couldn't help but retreat towards the west of the city.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the black-clothed army is coming, the black-clothed army is coming, run away, run away!" At the beginning, the nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers defending could indeed evacuate towards the west gate in an orderly manner according to Chu Tianlu's order.

But don't forget, at this moment, there are not only officers and soldiers on the city wall, but also more than 1,000 young men who have been temporarily recruited.

Although there are a lot of people in these more than 1,000 young people, these people are just ordinary people, not only have they not experienced any military training, but most of them don't even have a decent weapon. Therefore, when these people saw the officers and soldiers retreating and the black-clothed army rushing up fearlessly, these people, who had never been on the battlefield before, couldn't help but think like a flock of panicked sheep, and suddenly disrupted the formation of the officers and soldiers and defenders.

The formation was disrupted, and these officers and soldiers who were originally pressed and beaten by the black-clothed army naturally had no ability to resist. So when the black-clothed army roared and rushed up, these officers and soldiers who had no ability to resist couldn't help but throw away their weapons and became a deserter.
