In the White Lotus army outside the city, Liu Futong was leading hundreds of personal guards, and his subordinates were sitting in the rear of the army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Looking at Yingshang Xian City a mile away, Liu Futong suddenly waved his horsewhip, pointed at Yingshang Xian City, and said to the many subordinates who were gathered around: "The first battle of Yingshang is really the first battle of my Holy Sect's uprising, and it is of great significance to the great cause of my Holy Sect in the future. Therefore, this battle must be won by our Holy Sect, not only to win but also to win beautifully, but today I don't know which brother dares to be the vanguard and lead the army to fight this first battle for our Holy Sect. ”

The hall master generals of the White Lotus Sect beside Liu Futong, hearing Liu Futong's words, all stepped out in stride, hugged their fists and bowed their hands to Liu Futong to ask for battle: "Subordinates are willing to fight, subordinates are willing to be ......pioneers", and for a while, the voices of the generals asking for war were endless.

Liu Futong rode a war horse, watching his subordinates all compete for battle, all fearless of the enemy, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and a smile appeared on his majestic face, and he said to the many hall masters and generals who were gathered around him: "Okay, all the brothers have such courage, so why worry about the failure of my holy sect." After praising everyone with a smile, Liu Futong immediately said: "But after all, this battle is of great significance, and courage alone is not enough." ”、

Speaking of this, Liu Futong turned his gaze to a middle-aged man with a yellow face and long hair and a slender figure beside him, and said: "Brother Han is a man who does things, he has always been brave, resourceful, mature and steady, so Brother Han will be the pioneer in this battle." ”

When many of the White Lotus Sect's masters and generals heard Liu Futong's words, they all turned their eyes to Han Yan'er, but none of them raised any objections, obviously this Han Yan'er was by no means an ordinary person in the White Lotus Sect. And when Han Yan'er heard Liu Futong say such words of praise in front of the main generals of the hall, he couldn't help but feel that a soldier was dying as a confidant. Then, I saw him bow to Liu Futong with his fists and salute: "The Dharma Protector looks down on his subordinates like this, how can his subordinates not fight to the death, please rest assured that the Dharma Protector will take this city for the Dharma Protector within an hour." ”

When Liu Futong heard Han Yan'er's impassioned words, he couldn't help but shout aloud: "Okay, this Dharma protector will allocate another 200 elite soldiers to Brother Han to help Brother Han gain momentum." ”

In fact, the current White Lotus Sect seems to be a whole, but there are also many mountains inside, and the most powerful Liu Futong has only 2,000 people in his headquarters, and the remaining 1,000 people are the henchmen of each hall master, and Liu Futong cannot directly command these people.

And Han Yan'er is such a hall master, there are more than 300 people in the headquarters under his command, and he is considered to be the strongest hall master, Liu Futong is actually doing this today to save the idea of winning him over, as for allocating 200 people to Han Yan'er, it is not to show a posture of buying money for other hall masters.

Now it seems that this effect is still good, and after several other hall masters heard Liu Futong's words, they looked at Han Yan'er with a look of envy in their eyes. And the emergence of this emotion also shows on the side that the mentality of these hall masters has gradually changed.

And talking about Han Yan'er, when Han Yan'er heard this, he didn't say anything more, and after thanking him, he took a few guards and rode to the headquarters.

Liu Futong looked at Han Yan'er's departing back, and glanced at the other hall masters, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.

……

On the city wall, Deputy Yue Qianhu looked at the five hundred white lotus bandits who rushed over, and couldn't help but feel that his throat and eyes were a little dry. He wasn't a warrior in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Yingshangxian for so long, but he didn't even dare to come out of the county seat.

He is also very afraid of death, if possible, it is estimated that the first person to run is his deputy Qianhu. But there is no way, who calls him a deputy thousand households, the White Lotus Cult has gathered three thousand people under his nose, he has not been able to notice, this is already a great sin in itself, if he flees in fear of the enemy and fears the war, it is a crime on top of a crime, and it is estimated that there will be no second way except death.

Therefore, although he was extremely frightened in his heart, Yue Shiwu still stood on the city wall with courage and pretended to be a bamboo in his chest, so as to increase the courage of the officers and soldiers. But when hundreds of White Lotus bandits rushed over with an unstoppable momentum holding the siege ladder and brandishing their weapons, his already small courage dissipated in an instant. After all, for a person who has never fought in a war in his life and has been on the battlefield, such a scene is really terrifying.

"No, I must survive, I wasted half my life to climb to the deputy thousand households, I must not die like this, I must not!" Looking at the White Lotus bandits who were getting closer and closer, Yue Shiwu almost roared in his heart. Then, under the strong desire to survive, Yue Shiwu took out his waist knife, slashed hard at the masonry of the city wall with the knife, and shouted: "Brothers, at most half a day later, the rescuers of Tianzhou City will come, as long as we can hold out for half a day, we can survive, in order to live!" This group of bandits is fighting! ”

I have to say that such words are indeed very contagious at this time, and the officers and soldiers who heard this all held their weapons and shouted: "In order to live, fight!" Fight! Fight! ……”

Outside the city, Han Yan'er, who was wearing a suit of armor and leading five hundred white lotus elite soldiers to prepare to attack the city, heard the shouts of the officers and soldiers on the city wall, spit on the ground, and shouted loudly with a disdainful face: "The mantis arm is a car, the louder the shouts of this group of officers and soldiers, the more afraid they are in their hearts, as long as we hit the city wall, we can defeat them in one fell swoop." ”

Then Han Yan'er turned to the guards beside him and said, "Pass my order, wait for the next siege, and those who ascend first will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." ”

Hearing this, the guards around Han Yan'er also opened their voices and shouted: "The hall master has an order, go to the city wall first, and reward a hundred taels of silver." Whoever climbs the city wall first will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver......"

As the saying goes, "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward," and a hundred taels of silver are placed now, which is definitely a huge amount of money. Therefore, when those White Lotus Sect soldiers heard this, the speed of their forward charge suddenly increased a lot, and they either carried siege ladders or held rudimentary wooden shields, and rushed towards the city wall with a roar.

And the officers and soldiers on the city wall also regained some courage at this time under the encouragement of the commander. Dozens of archers, armed with hard bows, began to shoot outside the city under the command of a hundred household officials, but how could a few dozen bows stop the footsteps of hundreds of White Lotus bandits.

The archers on the city wall shot two rounds of arrows and wounded more than ten White Lotus bandits, and the White Lotus Sect soldiers outside the city rushed to the city wall. And after getting closer to the city wall, dozens of archers from the White Lotus Sect also came to shoot their bows and launched a counterattack.

The arrows on both sides are endless, you come and go, so it is not lively, but this lively arrow did not cause any considerable damage. For the two warring sides, the archers bring more psychological impact, and the waiting ants are attached to the siege of the city and fight with white knives, which is really related to the decisive factor in the outcome of the war.

I have to say that only in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, this group of steadfast White Lotus cult fanatics is really much stronger than the corrupt officers and soldiers of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court. But war is not only about the quality of individual soldiers, war is never a person's art, although this group of White Lotus soldiers have firm beliefs, but they are a mess in other aspects.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that the White Lotus Sect is only a non-mainstream religion after all, even if there are many people who believe in it, it is impossible for the White Lotus Sect to dare to blatantly train its soldiers, even if it is these so-called White Lotus backbones, its true combat effectiveness is estimated to be similar to those robbers and bandits who dare to kill.

For example, this siege, the White Lotus Hall Master Han Yan'er didn't know how to command at all, his so-called command just made the White Lotus Sect soldiers rush forward in a swarm. But in this way, this group of White Lotus Sect soldiers was not able to give full play to their superiority in numbers at all.

Therefore, when the officers and soldiers defending the city had their courage, relying on their cooperation with each other and the benefits of the city wall, they could still resist the attack of the five hundred White Lotus Sect soldiers.

Although the officers and soldiers defending the city were too late to prepare rolling stones, gold juice and other city defense weapons because of the relationship of time, the only siege method of the White Lotus Sect soldiers besieging the city was only a dozen or so poorly made siege ladders, so the two sides naturally broke out in a fierce white-knuckle battle at the siege ladder.

Although the wall of Yingshangxian is only more than four meters high, it is not a strong city, but it is also a city wall after all. The officers and soldiers defending the city condescended to take advantage of the geographical advantage, as long as the White Lotus Sect soldiers showed up, he would be greeted by several spears, so it was really not easy for the White Lotus Sect soldiers outside the city to attack it.

And Han Yan'er, who was outside the city, saw the setback of the siege, and thought of the Haikou that he boasted in front of the protector, gritted his teeth, pulled out his waist knife, picked up a pair of shields, and was about to go into battle in person.

Seeing this, the guards around him also showed their weapons one after another, ready to rush and kill with him.

However, just as Han Yan'er was about to go into battle, there was a sudden shouting sound from inside the city gate, and then the city gate was opened from the inside by more than a dozen men in strong suits covered in blood.
