Life is short for a few decades, whenever he thinks that people must die, Chao Chong feels very confused, and he can't escape this catastrophe, and he is even a little terrifying. Even after experiencing www.biquge.info the time-traveling event, Chao Chong still does not believe that the soul is immortal after death.

If you fall into eternal darkness after death, what is the point of pursuing your life?

Maybe there is, maybe not, but whenever I read history and see the great achievements of great people, who have been sought after and worshiped for thousands of years, my heart is full of envy.

No one can live forever, but his deeds will be passed down for a long time. As long as there are still people who can pronounce their names and are still remembered, it can be regarded as an alternative existence.

Perhaps based on this concept of life and death, Chao Chong has a very light view of his life and death, and just wants to go down in history; They also look at the life and death of others very lightly, they are just passing by, and they are just passing by in history.

The siege began at noon, and the battle had been going on for almost two hours. The troops of each capital also rotated to attack the city, completing a rotation.

After two hours, the first layer of the city wall still did not take down, and the enemy always fought smoothly and retreated at the beginning, but was driven down by the opponent's fire attack.

Li Kui was behind Chao Chong and wanted to step forward to help in the battle, but was suppressed by Chao Chong. Li Kui pointed to the head of the city and said, "Boss Chao, look, these despicable villains in the city are attacking with fire again." ”

Chao Chong followed his finger and looked, the city head was based on the city gate tower, and the chaotic people rushed to the city head in a row, most of them carried straw mats, or held a large jar, Chao Chong couldn't help but be shocked: "It's another fire attack!" How many materials are stored in Zhujiazhuang? ”

The Zhujiazhuang militia is not strong in combat, and can only rely on surprise tricks to barely cope. Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao loudly let their henchmen urge the militia to step forward.

The enemy smashed a jar of fire oil on the top of the head of the Liangshan army that attacked the city, there were many people at the head of the city, and they couldn't hide from it, and the can was broken with a weapon, and the fire oil spilled the surrounding people. The general, who was commanding the battle at the head of the city, saw this posture and hurried to retreat before the enemy's torches were thrown.

The Liangshan soldiers retreated in a swarm, and the ladder was too late, so they jumped directly from the city. After half a day of fierce fighting, a layer of corpses had already accumulated under the city. Jumping down may just break your leg, and if you don't jump, you will become a roast chicken.

Sure enough, after the oil was burned, torches and rockets were thrown over, which instantly set a large part of the city on fire, and many soldiers who did not have time to escape fell from the city.

Some of the soldiers were on fire, and the more they squeezed back, the bigger the fire on their bodies, and the group of burning people huddled together and burned even harder.

This fire burned so much that the roots of his teeth hurt, not only in his body, but also in his heart. In the face of the fire, the fear of mankind is truly unstoppable. The loss is irreparable, and all Chao Chong can do is save as many people as possible.

The troops who were ordered to rotate down and repair hurriedly went up to save people.

After Zhujiazhuang drove the Liangshan people off the city wall, he set fire to the ladder that attacked the city, and hung a straw mat on the city wall.

The mats were very long and thick, and they were quickly pushed down from the top of the city, tied one end to the battlements of the wall, and then set on fire, and the straw mats were not known to be sprinkled with anything, and instead of burning at once, bursts of pungent smoke came out, and suddenly the walls and under the walls were covered with smoke, and those who wanted to attack the city could not stand the irritation, and could only wait for the smoke to clear before they could attack the city again.

The time vacated in the middle was enough for Zhujiazhuang to transfer materials to the city again and arrange troops to guard it.

But Liang Shan needs to make a ladder again.

And so on, for several rounds. Two hours passed in a hurry. Obviously, the Liangshan army had the advantage, but it was slow to capture the city.

The casualties of the troops far exceeded the sum of the previous battles, with more than 70 dead and more than 200 wounded. A thousand-strong army, with such heavy casualties, can already be described as broken muscles and bones.

But Chao Chong still had no intention of stopping the attack, and he decided to personally lead the troops to charge.

The commander in the army, where the soul is. As a general, Chao Chong has rarely charged on the front line. But this time, he had to stand up again.

On the one hand, it is to boost morale, and on the other hand, it is also to appease the morale of the army. If it does not bring them a victory, the blow to the morale of the army is very serious.

In order to seize the city, Chao Chong ordered people to transfer Yuhou Chao Sheng, the fourth capital of Liu Tang, to the mountain, and led by Chao Sheng and Huang Xin, two people with outstanding archery skills, organized an archery team of 50 people.

Liu Tang, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, and others under the mountain Chao Chong have not been mobilized, and as long as the battle does not reach a critical juncture, a reserve force with combat effectiveness must be retained.

Chao Sheng had been looking forward to this big battle, but he was left to guard the camp at the foot of the mountain, very depressed, and this time it was finally time for him to show his strength. He and Huang Xin quickly drew from the people of each capital and formed an archery team of fifty people. Prepare to storm the city with Chao.

This siege battle also exposed many problems in Liangshan, and the defect of the troop setting was one. Among the infantry of the five capitals of Liangshan, only Wu Song's second was sword and shield soldiers, and the other four were all pikemen.

The pikemen performed very well in flat field battles, and belonged to a model of simple training, simple moves, relying on group discipline, and strong combat effectiveness. But the pikemen were weak in siege warfare.

Siege warfare belongs to hand-to-hand combat, and more emphasis is placed on individual martial arts, so sword and shield soldiers are the main force of siege warfare. But Liang Shan only barely qualified for the second.

There is also the setting of the archery team, because the archer training is too expensive, and the demand is not large, so when Chao Chong was reorganized in Liangshan, he merged the separate archery troops into the infantry of the capital, which resulted in no long-range support during the siege war, and in the face of the enemy's fire oil tactics, he could only retreat.

The only way to defeat the enemy's fire oil tactics is to rely on archers to shoot the enemy down from a long distance, and even ignite their oil cans and smoking straw mats from a long distance.

This is also the reason why Chao Chong transferred Chao to rise up and organized a separate archery team with Huang Xin.

When everything was ready, Chao Chong was ready to attack the city again. His purpose this time was to set his sights on a stilted tower on the city wall.

A rain of arrows from the east city tower gave Chao Chong an idea, there is the junction of the east section of the city wall and the north section of the city wall, in each corner of the city wall, there is such a stilted city tower that is two zhang higher than the city wall, the stilted city tower is the junction of the two sections of the city wall, and it is also the place where the soldiers are usually stationed, it is six zhang long, six zhang wide, and there are two door openings connecting the east and north city walls. There was also a wide platform above the tower, which was two feet higher than the city wall, so it was mostly guarded by archers. And kept shooting arrows at the besieging Liangshan soldiers, and many brothers who were not well protected were shot in the thighs by them, and their arms hurt and screamed.

Several sieges of the city were fruitless, and the most important thing was that there was no foothold on the city, and each time it was repulsed, it had to start all over again. So if you want to stand at the head of the city, this stilted castle tower may be a good choice.

Wu Song and the others had also led people to attack this city tower, but they could not enter the narrow city gate hole, the cave gate was too narrow, they could not use their strength, and they had to deal with the archers above their heads, and they were very passive for a while.

Chao Chong chose the target, put on the iron armor, led his four guards to carry the ladder, shouted slogans, and launched an attack again.

Li Kui, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, and Yu Bao have been recuperating for so long, and it is when the fighting spirit is strong, and they follow closely behind Chao Chong.

Chao Sheng and Huang Xin led the archery team to follow.

Lei Ting, Wu Song, Luda, and Yang Xiong also loudly boosted morale, and according to the rotation order, they sent troops again.

Chao Chong quickly crossed the moat, and from the side closest to the tower, he erected a ladder and climbed up, and the militia in the city was shot in the throat by an arrow from Chao Sheng as he ran.

Chao Chong ascended to the top of the city without hindrance, and the seven-foot long knife was slashed by a whirlwind, and several militiamen were cut in half, and the surrounding area was emptied. Li Kui, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, and Yu Baosi behind him also climbed up and slashed to their heart's content.

Chao Chong used the dragon Tao nine slashes, like a whirlwind, where it blew, the city head was in a mess, and soon rushed to the city tower, those militia in the city gate hole that only allowed one person to pass through the dense spearhead defense, even if Chao Chong, in such a narrow place is impossible to break through.

Chao Chong shifted his gaze to the top of the tower, where archers were shooting, and there must have been a staircase leading below. But in the face of the two-zhang high city tower Chao Chong, he couldn't jump up, so he shouted to Li Kui behind him: "Tie Niu, help me!" ”

Saying that, he jumped on the battlement, Li Kui saw that he understood what Chao Chong meant, and stacked two big axes on top of his head, Li Kui's height was close to nine feet, Chao Chong stepped on it, and with a fierce force, he jumped high, and more than one zhang high was not very high.

Chao Chong held the knife in his right hand, grabbed the solid stone of the city wall with his left hand, took advantage of the situation to twist his body, turned over, and kicked an archer in the chest, he spurted blood from his mouth and took five steps backwards, and fell to the ground.

Those panicked archers obviously did not expect someone to jump on the two-zhang high tower, and hurriedly aimed the arrow at Chao Chong, who also showed no mercy, reached out to break the bow and arrow of one of the people next to him, grabbed his neck, carried him in front of him, rushed to the front of those archers and slashed with his knife.

Those people shot arrows in a hurry, most of them missed, and the others were blocked by the meat shield in front of Chao Chong.

Chao Chong felt a sinking hand, it seemed that the meat shield in front of him was dead, and it was useless to hold him again, so he slashed his head flat, picked up his body and threw it at the enemy.

Some panicked and wanted to go down the ladder in the middle of the platform to the inside of the tower, while others wanted to come up from inside. Chao Chong doesn't care so much, let's kill all the people on the platform first.

One raised the curved bow to block his blade, but where could that stone hard bow block the sharp blade of steel. Chao Chong slashed off half of his head with a bow, and red neck blood and white brains poured out of the dissected head.

Where have those militiamen in Zhujiazhuang seen this kind of scene, not to mention the archers who rarely fight in close combat, they are so frightened that they run to the middle, and some jump directly from the hole, but it is crowded with people who want to come up, and they are all crowded there, Chao Chong will not let go of this opportunity, and harvest the enemy's life with a knife.

After a while, Bao Xu was also thrown up by Li Kui with a big axe, probably because he was worried that Chao Chong would not be able to cope with the situation above.

With Bao Xu joining, several of the shooters above were killed in a while. A few pikemen poked their heads out of the middle ladder, Chao Chong ignored them, and when they got to the platform, he immediately asked Bao Xu to block the entrance.

A militiaman armed with a Pu knife raised his knife at Chao Chong and slashed, his speed was too slow in Chao Chong's eyes, Chao Chong gently dodged and hurried forward, grabbed his right hand, slashed it off, and with a turn of his fingers, the blade was raised, and his left hand was cut off by the trend. Then he kicked it over, he was no longer a threat, Chao Chong didn't bother to kill him, and let him roll on the ground with blood spraying blood and crying with his arms. Several other militiamen looked frightened.

Chao Chong understands that on the battlefield, the most powerful weapons are not steel knives, spears, or bows and arrows, but fear! Fear that shakes people's hearts, and the one who can create this fear is a good warrior.

Chao Chong ignored the howl of the man on the ground, the more miserable he screamed, the more panicked his companion became, and the more enthusiastic his brother beside him became.

Chao Chong swung his knife and slashed off the head of the last militiaman, blood spurting a foot high from his neck, and the corpse fell to the ground. Bao Xu shouted on the side: "General, you are too cruel, but I like it." Hey hey"

Chao Chong said disapprerovitically: "This way can they be afraid!" ”

Bao Xu smiled: "I understand!" ”

Seeing that it was impossible for the people inside the city tower to rush up, they mobilized dozens of spears to face the entrance to prevent Chao Chong from coming down from above.

Chao Chong glanced down, grabbed the corpse of an enemy soldier from the side, cut off his head and threw it down, causing them to stir. As soon as Chao Chong saw that it had an effect, he cut off the man's limbs one by one and threw them down, and finally the torso. Someone cried underground, perhaps a relative of the dead body.

The battlefield is cruel, since you have chosen to pick up the knife and gun, you are the only one who lives or dies. Chao Chong didn't want to die, so he had to let them die.

Chao Chong asked Bao Xu to chop up all the corpses on the platform according to his appearance, and threw them down together after a while, although Bao Xu looked ugly like a fierce god, and killing people was like drinking water, but he could let him divide the bodies of several people without changing his face, and it did make him soft to chop. There is also a faint fear in his heart, no wonder Brother Li Kui, a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is in awe of the general, and he is really ruthless!

After getting it done, Chao Chong gave an order, and the two of them smashed these things down, and there was chaos underneath, Chao Chong also took advantage of this opportunity to jump down, and broke the waist with one move, and the long knife rotated, and instantly cut off four or five people around, and Bao Xu above also took advantage of the situation to attack, and they and Li Kui, Zhou Tong, and Yu Bao Sili outside should be together, and quickly let them attack in, and quickly blocked the door hole connected with the eastern section of the city wall.

When the militia saw that we were in control of the tower, they knelt down and cried for mercy. Chao Chong ordered: "Collect their weapons and press back to the formation!" ”

Whoever picks up a weapon, whether men, women, or children, is an enemy, and kills without mercy; If he put down his weapon and begged for mercy, Chao Chong didn't mind releasing his kindness.

At this time, Chao Sheng and Huang Xin also followed with archers. Chao Chong took a closer look at the inside of the city tower, the space was very large, and it could accommodate dozens of people, but those corpses were very in the way, and Chao Chong ordered people to clean up quickly. After that, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, and Yu Bao were ordered to take people to guard the two entrances. It is not allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy unless it is absolutely necessary, and honestly press the battle here, no matter what, you must defend this tower.

The archery team led by Chao Sheng and Huang Xin climbed the tower to shoot arrows to suppress the surrounding areas.

Chao Chong took Li Kui and Yu Baosi to continue to rush out of the city tower, fight with the enemy, and widen the location of the city tower to facilitate the soldiers under the city to enter the city.

Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao of Zhujiazhuang also noticed this situation, and hurriedly ordered a group of henchmen to rush over with fire oil, but unfortunately before they could get close, they were shot down by Chao Sheng and Huang Xin fifty steps away, and the oil tank shattered on the ground. Chao Sheng lit a rocket and shot it over, instantly igniting several other people around. The other Zhuang Ke who carried the oil cans were afraid of setting themselves on fire, and they all hurriedly retreated.

Zhujiazhuang's first fire attack was unsuccessful.

Chao Chong took the opportunity to expand his advantage, and looked at the city gate tower commanded by Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao in the center, which was the center of the city wall, if he could take it there, the enemy would lose his command, and this first layer of the city wall would be easily captured.

Chao Chong and others rushed to kill in front, and the soldiers of the Liang Shang Army also followed up at any time and were responsible for occupying the city.

Seeing that Liangshan's advantage was getting bigger and bigger, the Zhu brothers once again organized their henchmen and Zhuang Ke, holding the oil canister to Chao Chong to kill.

The archery team led by Chao Sheng and Huang Xin hurriedly blocked with arrows and shot a few people in front, but found that the enemy's footsteps did not stop at all, but continued to rush forward against the corpses of several people in front of them.

When Chao Chong and the others approached, they threw the oil tank in the air, Chao Chong and Li Kui blocked it with weapons, but they smashed the oil tank and were stained with fire oil.

Oops!

In the face of this situation, if Chao Chong retreats, the good offensive posture will be nullified. Chao Chong was ruthless, did not retreat but advanced, and accelerated into the ranks of those bankers.

As long as they get close to them, they don't dare to light a fire, because if it does, even they will ignite themselves.

But Chao Chong apparently ignored the shamelessness of the Zhu brothers, and when they saw Chao Chong entering the ranks of the Zhuang Ke, they instead ordered the archers to fire a volley of rockets at the Zhuang Ke on their side.

Chao Chong and Li Kui rushed into the enemy like tigers, the knives rose and fell, and the momentum of those Zhuang Ke was suddenly stagnant, Chao Chong and Li Kui took the opportunity to give full play to their advantages in hand-to-hand combat, and killed several people one after another. But Zhu Biao's sudden release of the arrow ignited those henchmen and customers, and also ignited Chao Chong and Li Kui.

Chao Chong and Li Kui saw that the situation was like this, and hurriedly fled back. Those implicated henchmen Zhuang Ke were angry, but they didn't expect to be abandoned by their own brothers, and they didn't care about entangling with Chao Chong anymore, and hurriedly squeezed in the direction of their camp, but they were still burned and screamed.

Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao saw that Chao Chong was also covered in fire, clenched their fists, and applauded loudly. But he didn't notice that the surrounding villagers and militia were a few steps away from them. Originally, everyone fought with their lives to fight Liangshan, and they still cared about the kindness of the Zhu family. But Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao's actions of killing even their own henchmen together made them completely chilled.

Chao Chong was on fire, and he couldn't put it out even if he rolled on the ground, but fortunately, the brothers at the head of the city saw more of this kind of scene, and they all evacuated, and there were many empty places, otherwise everyone would have to huddle together and burn to death.

I pulled up Li Kui, whose clothes and armor were on fire, and yelled, "Go to the city tower!" ”

There are Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, and Yu Bao in the city tower, and it is the safest place for the time being.

He is still ten zhang away from the city tower, but these ten zhang seem so long at the moment.

In the process of retreating, Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao yelled at their archers to release arrows at Chao Chong, and finally Chao Chong and Li Kui entered the city tower in embarrassment.

As soon as they entered, more than a dozen brothers rushed them down desperately, pressing on them layer by layer like stacked sacks, and finally extinguished the fire on Chao Chong and Li Kui.

When they stood up one by one and scooped them up from the bottom, Chao Chong and Li Kui had green smoke from time to time, filled with the smell of barbecue, and in some places there were sparks, as if a gust of wind could resurrect them, their faces were black, and they only found a little white when their eyes moved. The place where the iron helmets were all burned and smelled strange.

Faced with the anxious coming of the brothers to ask, Chao Chong signaled to them that he was fine. Just lying quietly on the ground and breathing mouth-to-mouth, his breathing was not short, but it seemed that only in this way could he prove that he was still alive, and only in this way could he calm his excited mood.

Li Kui also sat up from the ground for a while, took off the helmet on his head, and wanted to take off the burned tattered iron armor on his body, a burst of pain came from his shoulder, only to find that he had an arrow on his left shoulder, which was originally protected by the shoulder armor, and the shot was not deep, and when he ran back, he cut off the arrow shaft outside, but when he came back, he was pressed on his body by his brothers, and he was inadvertently pressed deeper, and the pain was a little numb, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and now he touched it again, and he felt a trace of pain again. scolded: "You bunnies, don't you have a better way to extinguish the fire?" The long arrow shaft on my back pressed you up before it was cut, and it almost hurt me to death! ”

Life is more important than pain.

Bao Xu hurriedly came over and apologized with a smile, and he carefully helped Li Kui dig out the arrow with a knife, and with the pull of the arrow, a stream of black blood gushed out. He tore off the corners of his clothes and bandaged Li Kui.

Fortunately, we have captured a foothold first, otherwise things would have been really troublesome.

Chao Chong breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the top of the city tower, Yu Baosi saw it, and raised two large pig iron shields to protect Chao Chong. He felt that it was a serious dereliction of duty for him to let the general suffer such a serious injury as a general's bodyguard.

When I went up to the top, I found that there was a layer of arrows on the ground of the platform, which was presumably the result of a collective projectile from below by the enemy. On the edge of the platform there is a layer of archers, and behind the archers is a layer of swordsmen holding large shields.

But now the situation seems to have improved a little, they finally suppressed the enemy within twenty zhang of the city tower, Chao Sheng looked at the edge for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Chao Chong: "Big brother, you are too reckless, you should have retreated a long time ago, it tastes good to be roasted by the fire!" ”

I laughed and said, "Well, their fire is still a little less hot!" ”

Huang Xin frowned and said: "Then you have to sprinkle some fine salt, smear some soy sauce, and bake it until it is medium-rare!" General, you are the commander of an army and the soul of an army, what should you do or be so reckless, and you don't know how to spare your life at all? If you do get burned to death, what will you do? ”

I laughed and said disapprerovingly: "When I was a child, I met an old fairy who told my fortune and said that I could live to be seventy or eighty years old?" So until I was seventy or eighty, I didn't worry about my life! ”

Is that really the case? Not many people believe it, but a confident and optimistic commander will always give his subordinates a special confidence, just as they really will never fail.

After a while, another round of siege by the Liang army began. Because of the support of this tower, it was not too difficult for Lei Ting, Wu Song, Luda, and Yang Xiong to ascend to the city, but they were just erecting the ladder again, and the original ladder was destroyed by the enemy.

Chao Chong and Li Kui also took the opportunity to rush out of the city tower. The iron armor of the two was badly burned, both of them were naked, showing their strong muscles, brandishing their weapons, and rushed to the front, the enemy's fire oil was almost used, and the others had not yet been transported. Coupled with the suppression of the archers in the city, they soon expanded to more than twenty zhang. Received the troops under the city to go up to the city.

Suddenly, Chao Chong found a familiar figure crawling up from under the city, and after he climbed to the top of the city, he yelled like crazy: "I want to be a hero, I want to be a hero!" "While shouting, the big knife flew wildly, like divine help. The people who went up to the city behind him also followed his example, shouting and killing the enemy, and the enemy was immediately panicked.

Chao Chong and Li Kui glanced at each other, it was how the group of people in Wu Song's second capital suddenly became so brave, could it be that Wu Song asked the immortals to send down the immortal rune water for them to eat.

Seeing that they were so brave, Chao Chong couldn't show weakness, and rushed forward again and again.

Chao rushed to the side of the person who climbed into the city first, blocked the attack of two spears for him, and dragged him backwards by the way, he rushed too far forward, and there was no support from a teammate behind him, this kind of rash attack without the support of his teammates was simply looking for death.

He seemed to be a little unconvinced and wanted to struggle, but when he saw that it was Chao Chong, he calmed down.

Chao Chong said: "Teng Tie, what are you crazy about?" ”

That person was Teng Tie, the captain of the sword soldiers who had been dismissed, and he said: "We soldiers are both envious and ashamed when we see the general fighting in the fire at the head of the city!" The general often told us: It is better to be a tiger and wolf for one day than to be a sheep for a hundred years. Be a hero, even if it's just for a while, did you see that just now, general? When I shouted and rushed to the front, those who usually disobeyed me also shouted and rushed after me! It's a good feeling! ”

Chao Chong slapped Teng Tie on the shoulder and said, "You are very brave, really, are you willing to rush towards the enemy again with me?" We're in this together! ”

Teng Tie said excitedly: "Okay! I'm with the general! ”

The re-charge of the Liangshan people caught Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao off guard, and then they wanted to adjust their henchmen Zhuang Ke to move forward with fire oil, but they found that everyone's gaze at them was very strange, and no one was willing to take the initiative to step forward. Just when they were delayed, Chao Chong killed the tower of the city gate, Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao felt that the situation was not good, and fled down the city and fled into the second layer of the city wall to defend. But the number of villagers and militia who were willing to flee with him to the second floor was less than half.
