Chapter 201: The Last Madness (I)

Chen Zhen walked down the Jinxing County Tower with a heavy heart. Under the city tower, Yinping was already dispatching troops, and the armies rushed from the city or outside the city, and soon the open space outside the city gate on the north side of Jinxing County and the Huangshui River was full.

Chen Zhen stood behind the city gate, and through the city gate hole, he had a full view of the neat military appearance and sophisticated armament of the Jinxing army. I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, the soldiers and horses of Jinxing and Xiping two counties had long heard that they were well-equipped and well-organized. Now that I see it, I know that the rumors are indeed true. I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, it's good to have money. Recalling that Liu Jiwu and the Guangwu Army cavalry under his command, although they were also well-equipped, they were still slightly inferior to these warriors in Jinxing County.

Yin Ping looked at the subordinates who had gathered, climbed the tower and ordered below: "Now that the war in Jincheng is critical, Chen Hujun please transfer my troops to help." I have decided to send 3,000 men from two armies to go with me to help, and prepare food, grass, ordnance and other materials for the armies for two days, and after two days, assemble here and prepare for the expedition! ”

When all the troops heard this, their expressions were solemn. Yin Pingyan ordered the generals above the commander to stay, and the rest were disbanded. The soldiers were disbanded on the spot at the command of their respective commanders, and then brought back to the camp. Several generals above the rank of lieutenant then ascended the city tower and had a military discussion with Yinping.

Two days later, at the end of the morning, the army gathered under the city. Chen Zhen is also on the top of the city tower, looking at the appearance of the Jin Xing Army, and his heart is full of admiration. At this moment, Shi Yanwei, the chief of the county government, led a cadre of officials in the county government, holding wine and meat, and came out of the city in a mighty manner. Seeing this, Chen Zhen hurriedly walked out of the city gate hole, and then stood aside. Yan Wei and Chen Zhen greeted each other. Then he continued to take the officials out of the city.

Yin Ping saw that Yan Wei led the county government officials, carrying wine and meat to see him off, and suddenly felt flattered. He hurriedly stepped forward, held Yan Wei's hand, and said movingly: "He Laobian Changshi personally sent him off." Ping led the army outside, and as soon as he did chores in the county government, he entrusted it to the hands of Changshi, hoping that Changshi would make a clear decision. ”

Hearing this, Yan Wei shook Yin Ping's hand tightly, and said, "Don't worry, the king of hell. A certain must do his best to live up to the king's trust. He also hoped that the king of Fufu would lead the troops outside and return triumphantly. Wei Ding should lead the people of the city to wait for the pot pulp. ”

Yin Ping explained the matter, but he no longer looked like he greeted Yan Wei, but just arched his hand: "There is a lot of work." When he turned around, he climbed onto the makeshift platform of several carts, and ordered the officials of the county government who had come to the army to bring up the wine and meat, and then distribute them to the soldiers in the front row one by one. Some soldiers got a steamed chicken, some got a stewed pig's head, some held a bowl of wine, and everyone looked at each other.

Yin Ping raised the wine bowl in his hand and said, "Yan Changshi is now coming to reward the army, everyone just eat and drink well." Yesterday the scribe came to me to report, and now all the supplies are ready. If the generals of the battalions find that there is a shortage of supplies, they only need to report it on the spot, and I will make the decision, and then I can go and prepare. ”

When the armies heard this, but there was no answer, Yin Ping had learned earlier that the Zhao army might be coming, and had already hoarded grain, grass and materials, and the Jin Xing army in a state of combat readiness did not need to prepare for a long time. According to the semi-monthly allocation is. Presumably, this expedition to aid Jincheng should be able to get supplies from the two counties of Guangwu and Jincheng. Even if it is not enough, this grain and grass will be enough for 3,000 people to return here.

After talking about the preparation and scheduling of military supplies and grass, Yin Ping's words changed and became calm: "The big war is coming, those who leave the camp for no reason, behead!" Running and shouting, noisy and chaotic soldiers, slash! If the commander's order is unclear, and the soldier does not obey the dispatcher, he will be killed! Whoever deceives the people and plunders their goods, behead! Excuse the wounded and sick, in order to avoid the conscripts, slash! If you don't meet the deadline and miss the fighter, you will be killed! ”

He said six slashes in one breath, and the dark plane swept over the armies fiercely, causing the soldiers to hang their heads to avoid his gaze. They all knew that what the king of hell said was by no means a joke. There was a solemn solemnity in the military formation, which appeared from everyone's face. At this moment when he is about to go on an expedition, it is by no means the wise to get into trouble because of the law.

Seeing that the armies were facing the might of the six slashes, they all lowered their heads and were silent, and Yin Ping's tone softened slightly: "The day after tomorrow, I will lead the monarchs to go on the expedition, and I should move forward with the armies!" Here, the right to serve the kings with the things of the long Shi Lao army. I hope that the future will be triumphant, and I can still drink with you here! ”

The voice fell, Yin Ping had already dried the wine in his bowl, and then forcefully smashed the large porcelain bowl in his hand to the ground. When there was a bang, the porcelain pieces splashed.

Nearly 100 soldiers shuttled among the large groups of men and horses preparing to go on the expedition, and poured the jars of wine they held in their hands into the bowls held by each soldier. It didn't take long for the bowls of these soldiers to be filled with rice wine, and they were all arrogant, holding their cups and tilting their necks, and then pouring the slightly yellowed rice wine in the bowl into their mouths, and the wine overflowing from the corners of their mouths wet their clothes, but these selfless soldiers had completely ignored it.

"Let's go!" With Yin Ping's order, the three thousand Jinxing County foot riders turned north, lined up in a neat queue, and headed towards the pontoon bridge that had been built long ago.

**************

Under Jincheng County.

The Zhao army, which had been stopped for a few days, suddenly continued to launch a fierce attack on Jincheng County, which had been devastated by the war. Now on the east wall of Jincheng, there is already a veteran of the Jincheng army, and the soldiers of Lingju County take turns to defend. These county soldiers were confined in the city, and the last time they defended the city, they faced the tide of the Zhao army's offensive in the first battle, and many of them wanted to flee. However, after being killed on the spot, these county soldiers, who could not afford to fight, had to turn around and fight to the death with the Zhao army who climbed the city wall.

After all kinds of blood and fire tempering, these Lingju county soldiers who had just entered the battle were forced to adapt to the cruel battlefield under the strict military law and the coercion of their families who escaped from the battle. They are untrained and have no battlefield experience. Usually, besieging and killing a wave of Zhao troops who are lucky enough to get to the city, they will have to pay several times the price of the enemy. However, in the process of this forced adaptation, when I saw the familiar faces around me, they fell one after another. These cowards, who once wanted to escape, gradually began to change.

Zhang Lang stood on the city tower, looking at Jincheng County and the big camp that were fiercely attacked at the same time on both sides of the river, and his face began to be extremely desperate. This battle has been going on for almost a month. The corpses piled up under the walls of Jincheng County almost submerged half of the height of the city walls. The soldiers have been fighting hard for a long time, but they are all exhausted, and the three armies are already poor in terms of fighting spirit and strength. However, in the face of this crazy attack, he could only continue to organize his soldiers to resist.

Zhang Lang scolded and yelled, and personally slashed the Zhao army foot soldiers in Shangcheng to cheer for these Liangzhou sons under his command. The drummers on the tower of the city fought with all their might, beating the war drums in front of them...... Although the soldiers were not energetic, they were also inspired to see Zhang Lang personally come forward with a knife to fight the enemy, and they picked up the weapons in their hands and gathered on the edge of the battlement, and started a hand-to-hand combat with the Zhao army who had ascended the city.

"The enemy army is strong outside, and this attack is their last madness!" Zhang Lang encouraged the soldiers beside him, and at the same time led his own guards to engage with the infantry of the Zhao army who had climbed to the top of the city, sacrificing their lives. On the city wall on the east side of Jincheng, blood splashed for a while, and the sound of killing shook the sky, a cruel scene like a Shura field.
