242 The life and death of the little people

"Put to death and then live, encircle Jin to save Tang?"

Lu Bu was stunned, slowly let go of the hand that grabbed Liu Bei, and frowned and fell into deep thought.

Fang Li's eyes lit up, and he deeply agreed with Liu Bei's suggestion.

A large part of the reason for Wei's attack on Pinglu was also to force the Tang army to return to help. If Quwo was besieged at this time, whether out of faith or interests, Wei would not be able to sit idly by and watch the Jin State be destroyed, and Wei would never sit idly by and watch itself fall into the three-sided siege of Tang, Zhao and Han, isolated and helpless.

And what Weiss can move at this time, in addition to the 60,000 or 70,000 troops defending Wei proper, is only the 100,000 troops under the command of Wei Yi, and the siege of Pinglu will naturally be solved by then.

But Ma Chao still had a question, frowned and asked: "Mr. Xuande is reasonable, but what if Pinglu is captured before we take Tongcheng?" ”

No one can answer this question, because all of this depends on Jia Xu and the trial and strategy, on the commanders of Yang Yi and Liao Hua, and on the bloody battles of the soldiers in Pinglu.

"Without further ado, order the whole army to withdraw from camp immediately!" Fang Li clapped his hands and said, "At the same time, he ordered Meng De to leave a small number of soldiers and horses to garrison Qingyuan, and the rest of the people rushed to Tongcheng immediately!" ”

At the same time that Fang Li's army was moving, the battle of Pinglu Guard had already been carried out on the fifth day.

The onslaught of the captain's army continued, and the defenders of Pinglu were not given the slightest time to recuperate.

Every moment, countless Wei and Tang soldiers died under each other's swords and arrows. The commanders of both sides didn't blink their eyes at this, and at this moment, every life only became a cold number on the battle report.

Excluding the 5,000 cavalry who did not participate in the defense of the city for the time being, the 20,000 soldiers in Pinglu City have been killed or wounded more than 3,000. Fortunately, the bed crossbow and the throwing car were not damaged for the time being, and they could still cause greater suppression and damage to the Wei army.

"We have to find a way to destroy those two things." Wei Yu called Wang Tian, a partial general who accompanied the army, "Organize the dead soldiers, and give me every means to destroy the bed and throw the crossbow and the car!" ”

Wang Tian responded and immediately issued a recruitment order to all the officers and men of the army.

At this time, the Wei State did not have Wu Qi, a genius commander, to join, and the world-famous Wei Wushu had not yet come out. Once there was an imminent and critical task, the Wei army did the same thing as most countries - recruiting the dead on the spot.

Wei Yu's subordinates were all brave people, and under the heavy reward, he gathered 500 strong dead soldiers in an instant.

Wang Tian took the lead, led the dead soldiers to take off their armor, and rushed forward with only a waist knife and a mace. They had only one goal - to destroy the Tang army's fortification of the city.

The dog is thirteen years old this year, and he is a lone seedling in the family, and from the perspective of that time, he is already half an adult, and he should be the little pillar of the family.

Before the Battle of the Plains Guards began, the dog was still honestly staying in the village of his hometown on the outskirts of the city. All day long, I went down to the ground with my elderly father, facing the loess with my back to the sky. He lived an ordinary life as a farmer.

The dog knew from his father that in this era, it was a lucky thing that they could simply farm and make a living.

Since the establishment of the Tang Kingdom, they have changed from Yu people to Tang people, the tax burden has also been reduced, the military masters who used to be rampant and domineering everywhere are gone, and there are a lot fewer things to catch strong men. There are also seeds called "corn" that Tang Gong gave to everyone, which has improved the harvest in the field a lot, and no one will starve to death anymore.

If you have a little surplus, you can send your children to the city to study and read by handing over some food. I heard the gentleman inside say that if you learn well, you will have the opportunity to go to the government offices in various places to be on an errand and glorify your ancestors.

It's hard to find this kind of good thing even with a lantern!

Everyone said that they hoped that the Tang Kingdom would never be destroyed, and they were all willing to be Tang people for the rest of their lives.

The dog grew up listening to these words, and felt that Tang Gong was the best monarch in the world, and the judge Taishou was the best official in the world.

But the good times didn't last long, and the Wei State that used to fight Yu came again. I heard that there were many people with him, more than the military masters in the city, and the people in the village were panicked.

The judge guarded the city and let the people of the surrounding villages hide in it, and the dog heard his father say that this matter was terrible.

Normally, at such times, the adults in the city will close the city gate early, leaving them to fend for themselves, for fear of running in and wasting food. The officials of the Tang Kingdom were different, not only did not close the door, but also took the initiative to let them go in quickly.

After saying this, the dog's father wiped his face again: "Alas, it's a pity that this Pinglu City can't be defended." I heard that the officials of Wei are much worse than our Tang State. ”

The dog listened to his father's words. After entering Pinglu City, he responded to the call without telling his father and mother to take the initiative to join the army. Because he was a lone seedling, he let the military master who recruited the soldiers accept him.

He doesn't want to be a Wei person. Gou'er thought that he would kill those damned Wei troops with his own hands, help Lord Shen and Tang Gong to defend Pinglu, and be a Tang man for the rest of his life.

With the good skill he has cultivated in farming, the dog is assigned to put stones on something called "throwing a cart".

In the eyes of the young dog, this "car throwing" is a good thing.

All he had to do was put the huge stone into the place called the "groove" and it would be tinkered with for a little while by another old soldier much bigger than him. The stone will "boom!" "'s life flew into the ant-like Wei army under the city, and he could be stoned to death at once.

A sharp pain in the back of his head interrupted the dog's memories, and he looked back angrily, only to realize that it was Uncle Huzi, who was manipulating the "throwing car", who had punched him.

"Stupid? Hurry up and put the stones! Huzi angrily gave the dog another chestnut, then spat in the palms of both hands, and began to adjust the direction intently.

The dog laughed, neatly chose the largest one among the stones piled up on the hill next to him, and asked as he put it in: "Uncle, can you let me try it too?" I also want to smash those bitches to death with my own hands! ”

"you, you're not too old." Huzi didn't even look at the dog, and scolded in his mouth, "This is a baby, there are only five in the entire Pinglu, how can you give a little ghost to toss!" ”

The dog shrunk his neck and didn't dare to ask any more.

But it doesn't matter, the puppy comforts himself, anyway, he put a stone to kill people, and he can be regarded as killing the enemy.

The Wei army on the ladder began to rise on the city walls. The dog noticed that the crossbowman beside him hurriedly stepped back and replaced him with a brother with a hook, a spear, and a wolf's fang.

All kinds of guys smashed their heads at Wei Jun's head who climbed up, and when they touched it, their brains burst. The dog's blood boiled when he saw it, and when he saw a hideous-looking Wei Jun climb up, he smashed the stone in his hand without thinking about it.

"Ahh The Wei army screamed and fell unwillingly.

"I killed an enemy!"

The dog shouted excitedly, and turned around to find Uncle Huzi. This time he turned around, but he was frightened.

A man in black didn't know when he had already rushed up the city wall, and the mace in his hand was raised, and he was about to knock it down on Uncle Huzi's head.

Uncle Huzi paid attention to the Wei army below by controlling the car and smashing it to death, and he didn't notice it at all.

The dog's mind was blank, and without thinking about it, he flew and pounced on the man in black, and smashed it with his fist without a weapon.

The man in black was caught off guard and fell to the ground, and in anger, the mace swung violently, and the dog's left arm was instantly smashed.

"Dogs!" Huzi reacted, and immediately wanted to let go of the hand that was manipulating the car to help, but was stopped by the dog's fierce eyes and couldn't move.

"Leave me alone, keep throwing stones!" The dog shouted, and the remaining right arm hugged the man in black like an iron hoop. I didn't know where the strength came from, I stood up suddenly, jumped off the city wall with a "bang", and was smashed to pieces along with the man in black.

"Dogs!"

Huzi's eyes were red, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. Suddenly, he wiped his tears and sat back in the position of controlling the throwing car, regardless of the Wei army constantly climbing up beside him, thinking about killing a little more, a little more enemies, and avenging his puppy!
