Chapter 8: The Rock

Tamihide was shocked. Never before have we seen such effective archer tactics. Five people, inflicting such huge casualties on the enemy, dare not imagine.

More importantly, this cold arrow tactic has caused a huge shock and shadow to the enemy's heart. No one knows when a cold arrow will come.

Seeing the five people dressed in beggar's costume (camouflage clothing) and their faces painted like ghosts retreating into the camp, I don't know who among the officers and soldiers shouted the word "ghost," and the officers and men trembled in their hearts. A "ghost" from hell, hooking souls and asking for their lives.

………………

"There are only five thieves, and five people ......" Hong Chengchou scolded angrily: "Even if it is a group of pigs, five people can't kill three hundred heads in two hours." Are you not even as good as a pig? ”

After a while, Hong Chengchou calmed down, and said with a dark face: "Tomorrow will attack the city, and this official will personally supervise the battle." When you put out 12 points of effort, you must not underestimate your opponent. The official wants to see where the other side is sacred. ”

Zhu Shunming's resolute resistance and effective sniping won Hong Chengchou's attention and respect, and he regarded him as an equal opponent.

The next day, Hong Chengchou couldn't wait to start attacking.

Hong Chengchou was in an anxious mood, but the attack was well organized. Ladders, shields, cave house carts, rushing carts, and nest carts are slowly advancing, crossing the filled trenches and gradually advancing under the wall.

The two-zhang high wall was empty and surprisingly quiet. But the officers and men did not dare to be careless in the slightest. A silent enemy is more difficult to deal with than a hysterical rogue.

"Whoosh......"

The officers and soldiers on the nest car were hit by arrows and fell from the high nest cart, opening the prelude to the counterattack of the nine teams.

The walls of the wall were covered with soldiers, and the trees and rolling stones rained down on the heads and bodies of the dense officers and soldiers, and the arrows flew towards the officers with high red tassels like eyes.

Officers and soldiers fought back. The archers on the nest cart are condescending, shooting at the anti-thieves; The ladder was quickly erected, and the officers and soldiers climbed up the ladder desperately; The rush began to pound slowly and heavily.

Zhu Shunming stood on the wall with an expressionless face, Tian Jianxiu followed beside him, and even Li Cuiwei, Tian Hui and other female dependents were armed with weapons and draped into battle.

In the face of the bloody offensive and defensive battles, Zhu Shunming had the illusion of returning to the battlefield filled with gunpowder. I am eager to try, and I have a lot of pride to show my skills.

The officers and men climbed the wall and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Nine teams of soldiers armed with long guns and short knives formed battle groups in twos and threes, calmly entangled with the officers and men.

Liu Wenxiu is not very old, but he is calm and atmospheric, and the soldiers under his hand are very obedient to him. At this moment, he took his personal guards and put out fires everywhere at the head of the wall.

More and more officers and soldiers attacked the wall, and the officers and soldiers gradually occupied the top; The rushing car continued to impact the walled gate, and the wooden walled gate was precarious; Li Cuiwei, Tian Hui and other female dependents drew their swords, their faces turned pale, and their breathing was nervous and short.

"Beat the drums, raise the blood flag!"

Zhu Shunming's tough response stabilized the morale of the military.

Li Cuiwei glanced at Zhu Shunming, who was standing like a mountain, and thought that it might be good to be able to go to Huangquan together.

………………

"My lord......" Du Wenfei's face was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at Hong Chengchou's eyes.

It has been two hours since the attack, and the enemy is still like a rock in the waves, sticking to the wall, and the officers and soldiers cannot advance an inch.

The whole army of guards pressed on, and even Du Wenfei personally went into battle and killed the wall.

Originally, the officers and troops had already gained the upper hand, and they saw that they could capture the enemy's camp, but who knew that the commander of the other side actually broke the cauldron and raised the blood flag of fighting to the end, driving the officers and soldiers off the wall.

One of the enemy generals is even more terrifying. Holding a huge mace, the blocker was invincible, and one of his own deputy thousand households and three hundred households were folded in his hands, and ordinary soldiers were killed and injured countless times.

He alone is like a wild bull, constantly sweeping the walls, and none of the officers and soldiers are his opponents. Later, when the officers and soldiers saw him, they would rather jump off the wall than attack him.

"Is there such a person among the thieves?" Hong Chengchou's face was not stunned, and he said to himself: "Such bandits, you should get rid of them as soon as possible." The different day has become the climate, and it will be a great disaster for the imperial court. ”

"Du Qianhu, send someone to order General Du to come and suppress the bandits in front of him quickly."

Hong Chengchou didn't blame Du Wenfei too much. The guards were not strong in combat, and when they encountered bandits who resisted to the end, it was understandable that they had suffered defeat.

But Du Wenfei's defeat was too miserable. He has six or seven hundred soldiers from a thousand households, plus the soldiers from other guards mobilized by Hong Chengchou, nearly two thousand people, and there are less than five hundred complete soldiers left at this moment.

The guards who had been absent from the battle for a long time had been crippled.

………………

"The official dog has retreated, and the official dog has been repelled by us......" The nine teams of soldiers on the wall cheered, filled with the joy of victory.

Zhu Shunming was covered with flesh and blood, his eyes were red, and his murderous aura had not yet faded, and he was like a fierce beast inspecting the wall.

The soldiers looked at him in awe, full of adoration and longing for the future.

If you follow a powerful strongman in troubled times, you can get better shelter. If the family is responsible and responsible, it is a natural leader.

Li Cuiwei killed an officer and soldier with her own hands. The officers and soldiers were not very old, but they were crazy to slash at her. Fortunately, Tian Hui helped, and Leng Zi gave him a sword, so that Li Cuiwei could kill him.

Watching the blood gush out, watching the enemy fall to the ground and convulse, Li Cuiwei even vomited out yellow bile water.

"Are you alright......"

"It's fine." Li Cuiwei leaned against the wall and sat on the ground, completely ignoring her image.

"You...... Like me? "The bloodshed has not yet receded, and the war will be rekindled at any time, Li Cuiwei is actually thinking about this kind of problem.

Zhu Shunming was stunned.

Like? Of course he does. How could you not like it?

From her crying to babbling, from her toddler to jumping all over the world, from her innocence to youth, from her admiration to rebellion, from her attachment and worship to going away from the world...... How can you not like it?

Zhu Shunming's anger gradually dissipated, and turned to tenderness, and his eyes were full of love.

He closed his eyes, hugged Li Cuiwei, and muttered, "Cuiwei, are you back?" It's good to be back, it's good to be back. How can there be a good home outside...... I miss you so much......"

Zhu Shunming fell into a barrier and couldn't distinguish between the past and the present.

Li Cuiwei's face was flushed. struggling slightly, he was immediately moved by Zhu Shunming's deep affection, let him embrace him, stroke her hair, listen to his broken thoughts, and feel his doting like a substance.

She can't tell the difference between love and affection. But this kind of doting that only mature men can only enjoy makes her enjoy it very much. She can feel safe from him, feel affection, or have ...... Love.

Tian Hui watched the two hugging each other from a distance, feeling a little lonely.

………………

Du Wenhuan arrived with 2,000 border army infantry.

Du Wenhuan has a square face, full of wind and frost, and resolute eyes, a typical image of a professional soldier.

"You came just in time," Hong Chengchou beckoned, "The enemy in front of you should not be taken lightly. Du Qianhu, tell Brother Ru about the battle situation. ”

Du Wenfei cried with a sad face, and said in fear: "There are not many enemies on the opposite side, and the skills and tactics are not skilled, but the morale is strong, and they will not retreat from the fight to the death." Moreover, they were well-fortified, especially suitable for defense. ”

As he spoke, he said indignantly, "These thieves are cunning, and they have built a low wall six feet high at the head of the wall. Our people attacked the wall, but they were caught off guard by the condescending thieves. ”

"There is a great general among the thieves, tall, powerful, and fierce. None of us are his equals. ”

mentioned Zhu Shunming, Du Wenfei was still afraid. If it weren't for the desperate protection of his own soldiers, he would have been smashed into a meatloaf by Zhu Shunming's mace.

"Oh? Got this titan? Can you surrender? Du Wenhuan was very curious: "How is it compared to Zhihe Garrison (He Renlong)?" ”

He Renlong was well-known in the Qin army for his ability to fight. Strong, strong in martial arts, and desperate to fight in battle, he is known as "He Madman".

Du Wenfei shook his head and sighed: "The three He madmen are not his opponents. ”

Du Wenhuan was more interested. He said to Hong Chengchou: "Lord Participating in Politics, with such a good general, why don't you surrender?" Your Excellency is interested in recruiting thieves, so why not give it a try? ”

Du Wenhuan was not very interested in Yang He's recruitment strategy, but he was not as resolute as Hong Chengchou's opposition.

Hong Chengchou thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to recruit An. However, the bandits must be arrogant, how can they be willing to live under others? If you defeat it, capture it alive, and then make it surrender, you will be grateful and runny, how can you not surrender? ”

"It makes sense," Du Wenhuan said with a smile: "If you don't defeat him and frustrate his sharpness, he will definitely not be convinced." Okay, let him see the power of the elite border army of the Ming Dynasty. ”

The simple-minded military general played tricks with the treacherous and pragmatic Wenchen, and he had to count the money for him if he was sold?

………………

Reinforcements from the officers and men came, and morale picked up. The border army under Du Wenhuan is the best in the world, and the little thief is not ready to be caught?

If the thieves are on the move, the officers and men may not be able to catch up. However, the stronghold was stubborn, and there was no precedent for being able to resist the imperial army.

A few years ago, in the rebellion of Lu'an, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses were in turmoil, guarding the tall city, and the momentum was violent.

What kind of climate can a few hairy thieves who have nothing to eat become now? The vast majority of the people in the imperial court were optimistic about this.

The morale of the Nine-Team Camp was similarly high.

Won the battle, of course, the momentum is like a rainbow; Everyone witnessed Zhu Shunming's great might, amazing force, and invincibility, which gave everyone great confidence and courage.

Tian Jianxiu attaches the most importance to Zhu Shunming's training ability.

The soldier of the Ninth Team was a farmer who had been recruited in Saigo just over a month ago. Within a few days of recruitment, he followed the army north, and there was no systematic training at all.

Looking at today's battle, although the soldiers of the Ninth Team have low martial arts, they cooperate tacitly and march in an orderly manner. Most importantly, the morale of the nine soldiers was high, everyone fought to the death, and no one fled or surrendered.

If the training time can be longer, if the number of soldiers can be larger, if you go through a few battles...... Tian Jianxiu didn't dare to imagine how strong Zhu Shunming's army would be.
