Chapter Ninety-Nine: Warriors
And the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall were extremely frightened when they saw an enemy with such divine power. Hearing the words of the Red Turban Army outside www.biquge.info the city shouting out the words of King Ming's protection and the arrival of the Bodhisattva, the generally superstitious officers and soldiers were even more frightened in their hearts, so that one carelessly made Niu Er climb up a lot.
When Niu Er was about to climb the city wall, the group of officers and soldiers reacted one after another.
Because Niu Er was about to climb the city wall, the red turban archers outside the city also stopped shooting, lest one accidentally hurt his own people. But this also gave the officers and soldiers a chance, without the suppression of arrows, several officers and soldiers armed with spears, under the command of the hundred household officials, stood up, rushed to the long ladder, and stabbed Niu Er.
Niu Er, who was climbing the long ladder, couldn't dodge the several spears that stabbed him, but Niu Er didn't want to dodge at all, and while the officers and soldiers stabbed him with spears, Niu Er also threw the shield in his hand at those officers and soldiers.
Then I heard a muffled sound and two screams, and the officer and soldier were smashed by the shield and flew out, and it seemed that he was not alive. Niu Er's such a terrible blow naturally frightened the other three officers and soldiers, although they were officers and soldiers, but who had ever seen such a fierce person, how could they not be afraid.
And he was scared in his heart, and the spear that stabbed Niu Er in his hand was naturally slow, and Niu Er was also a fierce general, so he took this opportunity to jump on the city wall with a war knife in his hand.
Just think about it, a person who is as brave as a tiger on the long ladder, after going to the city wall, how can this group of officers and soldiers who have not been on the battlefield be able to stop it, and in just a moment, Niu Er beheaded several officers and soldiers in a row, and forced a gap in the city wall.
And those few red turban soldiers who followed Niu Er and joined him to attack the city naturally took advantage of this opportunity to kill the city wall.
There is an ancient saying: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins." "On such a narrow city wall, the officers and soldiers could not show their superiority in numbers at all, where was the opponent of this group of red turban soldiers, dozens of officers and soldiers were actually beaten back again and again by Niu Er with seven or eight red turban soldiers.
And the retreat of the officers and soldiers naturally made more red turban soldiers take this opportunity to go up the city wall.
The more Red Turban troops come up, the slimmer the chances of the officers and soldiers winning, and if it continues to develop like this, it is estimated that Shen Qiucheng will fall without Han Yan'er and Zhang Shihua making a move.
However, don't forget, there is still a Mr. Li in Shenqiu City.
The decline of the officers and soldiers here, as the commander, Mr. Li naturally noticed it, and after scolding the waste, Mr. Li turned his head to Nai Yan, who was guarding beside him, and ordered: "Nai Yan, you immediately bring people to support, and be sure to drive down the group of thieves who went to the city." ”
When Nai Yan heard his master's words, he immediately respectfully hugged his fist to his master to receive the order, and then Nai Yan took the dozen burly guards and hurried towards Niu Er's side.
And let's talk about Niu Er, although Niu Er is brave enough, but the tiger can't stand the wolves, Niu Er was inevitably injured when he went to the city alone to fight, and his left arm was opened by an officer and soldier with a war knife.
But Niu Er, who fought to the point of madness, didn't care about this little injury at all, and still led the red turban soldiers who climbed the city wall to rush to the front.
With a war knife in his hand and covered in blood, he was like a hellish Shura, and after killing a few people, he was so frightened that the officers and soldiers around him did not dare to approach him.
Seeing this scene, Niu Er couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then shouted to the dozens of soldiers who went to the city with him: "Brothers, kill with a certain person, and make a meritorious contribution today!" After saying that, he rushed forward with the red turban soldiers.
The general is the courage of the army, Niu Er is so brave, those officers and soldiers who went to the city with him are naturally also encouraged, they shouted one after another, and rushed forward with Niu Er, but just when they were about to defeat the officers and soldiers in front of them, Nai Yan and others appeared.
When Nai Yan arrived here, he did not rush to Niu Er at the first time, but killed the two retreating chiefs with an iron cone on the spot, and shouted loudly: "My lord has an order, and those who retreat die." ”
I have to say that for this group of officers and soldiers, Naiyan's method is indeed the simplest and most effective.
As the saying goes: "If you make a pawn fear the law more than death, then there will be no retreat." Therefore, Naiyan's execution of the two chiefs undoubtedly increased the fear of military law in the hearts of this group of officers and soldiers. However, this method only made no one run away from this group of officers and soldiers, and it did not help much in the victory or defeat of the battle, and more importantly, this method did not inspire the real courage in the hearts of the soldiers.
Therefore, after killing the two chiefs, Nai Yan shouted at the dozen or so soldiers he brought: "Wait here and wait, if anyone retreats and crosses this line, kill!" The more than ten soldiers, when they heard Naiyan's words, all replied loudly: "Obey!" ”
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Nai Yan's words were even more heard by the group of officers and soldiers who retreated again and again, and it was still very effective to have to say such things, after Nai Yan issued this order, that group of officers and soldiers also had to grit their teeth and fight the enemy, and did not dare to continue to retreat.
Seeing this, Nayan held up an iron cone and shouted to the officers and soldiers who were fighting: "Wait a good listen, after the battle, the wounds will be examined, and those who have injuries in the back and are not beheaded will die!" ”
I have to say that people can't look good, and Nai Yan doesn't want him to look like he looks, just a reckless man who knows brute force, on the contrary, he is a person who is thick and fine. He was ordered to come here to support, and he had not yet fought with the Red Turban Army, but only killed two people and gave two orders, which inspired the courage of this group of officers and soldiers, so that they could fight the enemy as if they were willing to sacrifice their lives and forget their lives.
However, Nai Yan didn't intend to watch it like this, after issuing these two orders and inspiring the courage of the soldiers to survive and move forward, Nai Yan also carried the iron cone and joined the battle circle alone, and rushed straight towards Niu Er, who killed the red eye.
After a moment of observation, Nai Yan had already discovered that Niu Er was the core of this Red Turban Army, as long as Niu Er was killed, the others would be just a group of local chickens and dogs.
And when Nai Yan rushed towards Niu Er with an iron cone, Niu Er, who was fighting hard with a big knife, undoubtedly noticed Nai Yan who rushed towards him. Like Nai Yan, the person Niu Er wants to kill the most at this time is also Nai Yan. Because at this time, Naiyan's status in this group of officers and soldiers, just like Niu Er's position in the Red Turban Army, belongs to the real core, as long as Naiyan is killed, then this group of officers and soldiers will collapse without a fight.
So when Nai Yan rushed over with an iron cone, Niu Er was also extremely excited in his heart, so he also stood at the forefront without any disguise, that is, the closest place to Nai Yan, because he was confident that he would definitely be able to kill this stupid Mongol.
Nai Yan's speed was very fast, that is, he rushed to Niu Er's approach in a moment, and when he was about to get close to Niu Er, Nai Yan held an iron cone weighing more than 30 catties high and shouted: "The thief is killed!" He struggled to smash Niu Er's head.
For Nai Yan's blow, Niu Er did not show the slightest fear, but shouted excitedly: "Good come." As he spoke, he also brandished his war knife with both hands and slashed towards Naiyan.
In this way, the weapons of the two collided together in the most violent way, and there was even a burst of sparks at the impact of the weapons, and the huge sound also made the people of the two warring sides nearby look here, but the real warring parties did not pay any attention to the horrified eyes of the people around them, because they had already put all their energy on their opponents.
In the case that the first blow did not distinguish between life and death, the two of them roared like two fierce tigers, and then they fought again.
In the blink of an eye, the weapons of the two of them struck more than ten times in the most savage way.
And because the two of them used the strength of their whole body for every attack, Niu Er, who was originally injured on his arm and consumed for a long time, finally couldn't bear it.
I don't know how many rounds of fighting, Niu Er was finally repelled by Nai Yan, but Nai Yan would not stop because of Niu Er's retreat, after killing two red turban soldiers in a row, Nai Yan rushed to Niu Er's body again, and roared angrily, using all his strength, holding the iron cone high and smashing it at Niu Er.
And Niu Er's blow to Nai Yan could no longer resist, and even the war knife in his hand was smashed by Nai Yan's head, and Niu Er's head was smashed at the same time.
Niu Er died, and he was killed by Nai Yan in this way, so Niu Er's death inevitably caused a huge blow to the morale of the Red Turban Army.
Especially when Nai Yan killed several Red Turban Army in a series after that, under the leadership of Nai Yan, the morale of the officers and soldiers doubled and defeated the Red Turban Army on the city wall in one fell swoop.
But Nai Yan did not stop because of this, but after killing all the red turban troops on the city wall, he walked to the siege ladder where Niu Er came up, smashed the iron hook used to hook the city wall on the long ladder twice, and overturned the long ladder with force, and then stepped on the battlements, pointed at the hundreds of red turban soldiers outside the city with an iron awl and shouted: "You Grandpa Nai Yan is here, and the one who dares to come to die." ”
