"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The roar of artillery pierced the silence of the night. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"These Ming troops are beyond my expectations!" Archie said in his heart, but no matter what, he still calmly commanded the soldiers to defend, "Over there, quick!" Fill me with sandbags! Right! Move fast! And over there, reinforced with stones, right! ”

"This commander is a talent, as long as he is willing to surrender sincerely, he can be cultivated well!" Xu Chengming said to Hou Liangzhu.

"We can't even get close to the city gate now, do you think about this? Let's think more about the strategy of breaking the city!" Hou Liangzhu pouted.

Xu Chengming shook his head helplessly, and said to Liu Kexun: "Let's start!" “

Liu Kexun nodded, and immediately led a team of soldiers to pick up shovels, iron catalpa and other tools according to the places marked on the topographic map, and began to excavate in the direction of Pingyi City, "Brothers! Let's work hard! Liu Kexun shouted, and soon, the tunnel began to form at a speed visible to the naked eye, and on the other side, the roar of the artillery well concealed the sound of the tunnel and the sound of blasting with gunpowder at the bottom of the tunnel.

"Brother Hou! It's up to you! Xu Chengming said with a smile.

"Well said!" Hou Liangzhu said with a smile, then turned his head and said, "Brothers! Go with Lao Tzu! He then set off on the map and began to implement the plan.

When Hou Liangzhu disappeared into the darkness, Xu Chengming smiled and said, "Brothers! After a while, the sound of the artillery stopped, and each of you took one of these megaphones and started roaring hard! Roar as loud as you can! Got it! The loudest roar, add meat to tomorrow's breakfast! ”

All the soldiers' eyes suddenly lit up, you must know that although after the reform of the military system, the treatment of the soldiers has improved, but it is difficult to eat a meal of meat, so one by one suddenly began to drool, and they all had a lot of strength, and they must shout hard for a while, only shouting that the earth is shaking and the sky is cracking.

"All in good spirits! The Ming army will attack in a moment! We're going to beat him up again like we did during the day! Archie encouraged.

All the soldiers were inspired by the victory in the morning, one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, even in the deep meaning of the feeling of no fatigue, but when the artillery fire of the Ming army was over, they poked their heads out but did not see the Ming soldiers attacking like an ant colony during the day, the outside of the city wall was empty, only the deafening Ming army shouts filled their eardrums, making them miserable.

What are these Ming troops doing? Archie also didn't understand what the Ming army was doing, and coupled with the darkness and the lack of his own troops, he did not give the order to go out of the city to investigate.

Therefore, there is a strange phenomenon outside the city of Pingyi, during the day, the Ming army launched harassing attacks from time to time, constantly stimulating the tense nerves of the defenders, and the strong shouts of soldiers bombarded the eardrums of the defenders, so that the soldiers defending the city were always on the verge of collapse, even at night, it did not stop, looking at the soldiers who were gradually losing the will to fight, Archie was also like an ant on a hot pot, and he did not come up with a way to deal with it.

Because the attention of all the defenders of Pingyi City was attracted by the main force of the Ming army outside the city, coupled with the cooperation of artillery and shouts, the work of digging tunnels went very smoothly, which made Liu Kexun excited.

"It's a nice view!" Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the beautiful scenery up the mountain, Hou Liangzhu couldn't help but sigh.

"Commander!" The soldier pulled Hou Liangzhu, who was intoxicated by the beautiful mountain scenery and couldn't extricate himself.

"Haha! Finally found it! Rest well, brothers, and go up at night to keep as much alive as possible, understand? Hou Liangzhu commanded.

However, before they could rest, a group of soldiers rushed down from the mountain and rushed towards them with murderous aura, Hou Liangzhu looked at this group of soldiers and suddenly pouted, "The mantis arm is a car!" Follow me! Then he drew his sword and went forward, the battle was as expected, the soldiers of this hundred-man team were not enough for Hou Liangzhu and they stuffed their teeth, "It seems that the enemy has discovered us, since this is the case, let's go directly!" After saying that, the leader began to attack the mountain.

Suddenly, the originally quiet mountain forest was smeared with a bloody color, and the Ming army heroically launched a charge towards the mountain, but soon Hou Liangzhu found that their full force seemed to hit the cotton, and it did not work at all, all the defenders were reduced to zero, scattered in the forest from time to time to launch dark arrows, plus they were familiar with the terrain, like monkeys in the forest freely shuttled, so that the Ming army was miserable, and the number of casualties was much higher than the number of enemies killed.

"Commander-in-chief! It can't go on like this! The soldier reported the situation to Hou Liangzhu.

"Follow the current, find the source, the whole army is together, the shield guards move upstream, and the archers counterattack!" Hou Liangzhu ordered.

Suddenly, all the Ming troops gathered together and began to move towards the water source like a tank.

"General Rambu! If the water source is controlled, Pingyi City will be finished! The soldier hurried.

"Ben will know! I didn't expect this Ming army to be so powerful, and I thought that they had just come to gain a foothold and were caught off guard by killing him, but the hundred-man team that was photographed was wiped out so quickly! Now we can't stop them with our manpower," Rambu said distressed.

"And what about the general?" The soldier hurried.

"In that case! Let's set fire to those Ming soldiers and burn them to death! Rambu said fiercely.

"General! Set fire to this mountain? This is our water source! "The soldier was in a hurry.

"So what? As long as you can kill the Ming army, what is a water source? Rambu said fiercely.

"The city is counting on this water source, and we are still planting and hunting on this mountain! What will we do in the future if we burn this, General?! "The soldiers are in a hurry.

"Are you generals or am I generals?! Go! Burn the mountain! Rambu gave the order to die.

The remaining hundred or so soldiers looked at each other, but no one did anything, after all, there are still tens of thousands of people in this city who live on this, and the burning of the mountain is equivalent to burning their lives, and no one wants to be this sinner.

"Can't you understand what Ben General is saying? Will it be repeated? Rambu roared.

"You can't do that, General!" The soldiers held out.

"Damn! You! Rambu pointed to a soldier, "And you!" Go! Rambu ordered.

Several people looked at each other, but still no one took a step, Rambu was furious, pulled out his knife and was about to kill his first soldier, everyone was shocked, Rambu waved the knife without hesitation, the soldier separated in shock, Langbu said fiercely: "What is the use of disobedient soldiers?" If you don't do what you will say, this is what will happen to you! ”

All the soldiers woke up from their astonishment, and then they showed angry expressions one by one, looking at the soldiers whose faces were flushed, Lang Bu suddenly felt a little weak, but he still forced himself to calm down and said: "What are you doing?" Want to rebel? ”

He was answered by a few cold bows and arrows, and Rambu looked at the bows and arrows shot at him in the same astonishment, stretched out his hand, pointed at them with difficulty, and was speechless, and then another soldier swung his sword, and Rambu was in a different place.

"Brothers! Let's take this head and surrender to the Ming army! If this place is controlled, Pingyi City will be self-defeating! The city can't hold it at all! Why don't we surrender sooner rather than later, and still have peace for ourselves and our families? A soldier said.

"What if the Ming army doesn't accept it? What if you kill us all? One soldier worried.

"That's it! I'll try it first! If they repent of killing me, you will go back to the city at once!" If you don't repent, keep your promises, and treat me with courtesy, you'll be together. The soldier before said.

"Okay!" Everyone agreed with him. Immediately, everyone began to move towards the mountain, looking for the Ming army just now.

At night, in Pingyi City, the tortured and overwhelmed Archie leaned against the city wall a little tired, when a soldier hurriedly ran and said, "General, we found that the water flowing into the city has been cut off!" ”

"What?!" Archie was shocked, "The Ming army has found a water source?" Still occupied by them? Archie mentally prepared for the worst.

"What about General Rambu?" Archie asked.

"There is no news of General Rambu!" Soldier reports.

"How many days will the water left in the city last?" Archie asked.

"We went to see it just now, and it probably doesn't last for three days, if you save it, seven days!" The soldier reported.

"I see! Stand down! Archie waved his hand weakly, looked at the Ming army who was still harassing them enthusiastically, and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness, sighed, and began to ponder.

"Haha! What a surprise! You can rest assured, as long as you surrender sincerely and join our Ming army, we will definitely treat you equally, and we are all brothers! It's all a family from now on! And according to the new regulations of the imperial court, your treatment is better than that of our brothers! Hou Liangzhu happily patted the surrendered soldier and said.

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie!" The soldier rejoiced.

Hou Liangzhu continued to smile and said: "We are really here to help you, and at the same time, we are also here to rescue the Duke of Qianguo, and in the end, we still have to live a peaceful life for the people of YN, so I hope we can work together!" Those brothers of yours don't believe us yet, but it doesn't matter, they'll understand! ”

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie!" The soldier grateful.

"Good! You rest first! Haven't eaten yet, have you? Go eat with your brothers and get acquainted with each other too! Hou Liangzhu said with a smile?

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie!" The soldier grateful, and then retreated happily with a rude faux pas.

Watching the soldiers leave, Hou Liangzhu's guards said, "Chief soldier, this can't be a fraudulent surrender, right?" ”

"Haha! There are soldiers who cut their own generals to surrender, I like this courage and courage! Hou Liangzhu said with a smile: "Don't think about it, go, take precautions, lest the enemy dog jump over the wall in a hurry, this water source is controlled by us, they will always make a move!" ”

"Yes!" The guards clenched their fists and left, and then the soldiers of the brigade began to arrange, under the guidance of the soldiers who had just surrendered, they quickly arranged and occupied all the advantageous positions, and it was this action of mutual trust that eliminated the barriers between each other and brought unexpected gains for future operations!

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north......" Hou Liangzhu happily hummed the military song, today's harvest was beyond his expectations, it seems that the battle plan should be adjusted, he hummed the song, while explaining a few words to the guards, and then, the guards left, leaving in the direction of the army, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
