By the fourth day of the siege of the Huaixi Military Treasury in Pingyuan Town, reinforcements had not yet arrived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is also the fifth day of Wang Shen's time travel to the Southern Song Dynasty.

During these five days, he struggled on the line of life and death all the time, without resting for a moment, and was in a state of high mental tension. This is true of a strong-minded modern person, let alone those heavy soldiers.

The zero-casualty battle has greatly tempered the troops, and in the past, more than 200 people were either logistics garbage troops or honest people. After four days of fierce battle, the spirit and spirit were like a freshly sharpened treasure knife, radiating an aggressive momentum, completely lacking the original submissive, cowardly and timid appearance.

If you go through a few more bloody battles like this, maybe you can really train an elite. It can be seen that the army is a beast that needs to be constantly fed with battles and victories, otherwise, even a tiger will become a domestic cat.

It's just that manpower is sometimes poor, and the bow of the divine arm is extremely powerful, with a long range and strong penetrating power, and there is no way to wind it with both hands alone. When using it, you need to use your foot to pedal on the top ring, use your waist force to open the bow, and you have to use the principle of levers and pulleys.

After three days of fighting, many of the soldiers had their fingers cut by the bowstring and wrapped in strips of cloth, and some of them were so painful that they couldn't straighten their waists. In addition, more than 30 crossbow machines were damaged due to overuse.

Material problems are trivial, Wang Shen and Lu Can promised to only hold the treasury for one day, and the reinforcements will return. It's the fourth day now, and Li Qiong's main force hasn't arrived yet. The soldiers found that this battle with zero casualties was very simple, it was simply a highly entertaining game, and they were all fought happily.

They have seen Wang Shen's methods in the past few days, and they have a blind trust and even worship for this general of the unified army. I felt that as long as there was Deputy Commander Wang, everyone would not be injured or die, and no matter how many enemies there were, it would not be difficult to win this victory.

But I'm afraid that they will come back to their senses, and their morale will collapse and even cause infighting.

In the art of war, it is said that the city without help is not defended. If there are no reinforcements, no matter how strong the defenders are, it will be a dead word after all.

The soldiers are okay, Gu Lie's face is becoming more and more gloomy, like a cumulonimbus cloud overhead, you don't know when he will burst into thunder. Fortunately, this guy also knew that it was pointless to mess with Wang Shen now, and after Lu Can's persuasion, he couldn't bear it, which made Wang Shen secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

The thieves left more than a thousand corpses in front of the battle, and at the end of each battle, some soldiers rushed over and groped for money on the dead people, and everyone made a small fortune. Later, as the corpses began to decompose, the sky was full of flies all the time, and the stench made people cry, and everyone no longer had that thought. I had to cover my mouth and nose with a sackcloth, and took the initiative to send someone to contact the thief army and ask them to send someone over to collect the corpse.

The thieves are estimated to be stinking too much, and the piling up of so many corpses in front of the battle also affects the attack, and every evening they will make a truce with the baggage camp for half an hour to bury their dead companions.

The rain has not yet fallen, it has not rained for more than half a year, the summer heat has accumulated a large amount of moisture, the dark clouds in the sky are darker, and the air is still stagnant, like a boulder pressing on Wang Shen's heart.

"Why haven't the reinforcements come yet, Pingyuan Town is the hub of the Huaixi Army's logistics supply line, once it is cut off by Li Yu, there will be a shortage of food in Chuzhou, and the main force of the Huaixi Army will also be unstable. Li Qiong actually let it go, isn't he afraid of Liu Guangshi's military law? Unreasonable, unreasonable......"

Although Wang Shen had the foresight of a traverser, this battle was only a few mention in the history books, and the heavy battalion was just a small combat unit in the Huaixi Army, and the information at hand was limited. For him, the entire Huaixi and Huaibei battlefields seemed to be covered by these dark clouds overhead.

"If Li Qiong doesn't come yet, it won't last long. At that point, am I really going to die here? A wry smile appeared on his face: "It doesn't matter if I'm dead, it's a pity that An Niang and Yue Yun ......."

He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The smell of "croaking ......" blood attracts not only a large number of flies, but also flocks of crows. These flat-haired beasts kept falling on the roof of the treasury, and then kept flying, making people's hearts tightened.

In addition to the crow, there was also a golden eagle. The golden-covered beast perched on top of a bolted horse pillar in the distance, and looked coldly as if it were looking at a dead man.

Wang Shen couldn't stand this cold gaze, raised his bow, and shot at it.

The eagle also knew the opportunity, and when he saw Wang Shen raise his hand, he suddenly jumped into the sky and flew away.

"Dao Si's archery skills are clever, every arrow must hit, why did it fall short today?" Lu Can walked over, he was very dirty, the cloth shoes on his feet had already been turned black by the blood of the people flowing along the terrain, and there was a slight "rustle" sound when he walked, and a fine black powder fell.

Wang Shen smiled bitterly: "It's boring!" ”

"Yes, everyone is tired and doesn't have much energy." Lu Can sighed softly: "The defenders haven't arrived yet, it seems that there is no hope." ”

Wang Shen was bitter in his heart and kept silent.

Lu Can could only hear the voice of the two of them, and said: "It's been four days, and it seems that Li Qiong doesn't want to send troops." We killed his nephew Yi Jie, and Li Qiong wanted to borrow a knife to kill people through the hands of the thief army. How important is Plains Town, he even ignores the overall situation for the sake of personal vendetta, villain! ”

Wang Shen hesitated: "Or ......"

Lu Can shook his head: "You can't withdraw, if you withdraw, the whole line will be shaken." When the time comes, Uncle Liu Ping's military law will not spare me. Dawth, do you know why I killed you the day you first arrived in Plains? ”

Wang Shen: "Naturally, I know that if the soldiers of the baggage battalion know that Li Yu's army is coming, the morale will inevitably be shaken, and the treasury will not be able to keep it." As soon as Pingyuan Town was lost, the Huaixi Army was copied from the back road, and there was no way to fight this battle. ”

"Yes, I've been wronged." Lu Can looked guilty: "Fortunately, we have been guarding for four days, even if Li Qiong wants to harm me." The thief army can't hide such a big move from Uncle Liu Ping, and he wants to come to Chuzhou to deal with it. Yes, we may all die, but it's worth it. ”

Speaking of this, his face was serious: "A hundred years of life, a year of grass and trees, anyone has to go." Rather than being old on the sickbed, it is better to have a vigorous one, so that it is not in vain to come to this world. Daosi, it's great to be able to meet a hero like you! ”

Then he stretched out his hand.

As soon as Wang Shen shook hands with him, he saw crystal tears flashing in Lu Can's eyes.

My heart suddenly soured, and something indescribable came flooding up.

He said loudly: "Ziyu, I'm also very happy to meet you." ”

The great eagle in the sky roared sharply, stretched its long wings and rode the hot summer wind to hover and glide in the sky on the battlefield, like a war-hardened banner.

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

The golden eagle is still flying in the sky, all the way to the west.

After about ten miles of gliding, a cold wind struck, and the updraft disappeared abruptly.

In front of it is a high mound, about several miles long, which suddenly rises from a flat land, and it is naturally a water diversion channel built in the early years.

It was a suitable resting place, and the eagle looked in the direction and slowly descended towards the top of the canal.

At this moment, behind the high canal, a large black and pressed team suddenly appeared in its eagle eye.

There were at least five hundred of them, all of them elite men. They all sat neatly on the ground, boxy, like a giant tofu block.

On the left side of the big man's body is an armor bag, and on the right side is a war horse resting on the ground.

One by one, the lances were stuck in the ground, densely packed, and the blades of the spears on the lances were shining, forming a forest of metal.

Needless to say, this is an elite cavalry unit. No one spoke, only the wind whistling over the canal.

Brighter than the blades of the spears were the eyes of the soldiers, and at the sound of the eagle's call, the three hundred warriors raised their heads at the same time.

As if stabbed by countless sharp blades, the golden eagle's body shook in the air. Aware of the danger, it did not dare to stay any longer, flapped its wings, and flew away in panic.

There was a large tree on the canal, and unlike the fierce soldiers below, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe stood under the tree, looking anxiously into the distance.

Beside him, two heavily armed soldiers had the same expression.

"Why haven't you come back, why haven't you come back, ridiculous, so ridiculous...... the scribe kept rubbing his hands and muttering to himself: "If the king of heaven has a good one, how should I explain it, how should I explain it?" ”

The long grass on the slope in front of him moved suddenly, and the two guards drew their bows at the same time, put on their arrows and shouted: "What person, come out!" ”

"It's me." There was a sound in the grass, not loud, but unusually thick, and it shook people's hearts.

"Heavenly King!" Not only the two guards, but even the scribe cried out in surprise.

"I'm back, haha, I'll keep you waiting." The long grass parted to the sides, and from inside came the sweaty three people.

All three were dressed in rags, carrying sticks, dressed as peasants.

The man at the head is about 40 years old, not tall, about 1.70 meters in modern society. Nor is it as strong as the cavalry under the canals. However, although he is thin, he is not weak. His bare arms were full of muscles, and he looked like steel and iron.

The scribe hurriedly took a long robe from the guard's hand and put it on the middle-aged man, and said uncontrollably: "Heavenly King, you are confused! What kind of daughter you are, how can you learn to be meticulous and mix into Li Yu's army. If you have three longs and two shorts, how should I explain to you? ”

As he spoke, his voice was choked.

The man called Tianwang put on his clothes, wiped a handful of hot sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Tao Zisi, you are less like your dead father and mother, I Li Cheng don't eat your sycophants, what kind of daughter's body, what am I worth." By the way, he used to be the envoy of Zhao Jiu and Zhao Guan's family in the Great Song Dynasty, but now, he is a thief. ”

The man named Tao Zisi saw that Li Cheng was arrogant and admitted that he was a thief, and his expression was embarrassed: "Heavenly King, this and this...... You are the leader of the first army, and if something happens to you, so many brothers in Pao Ze will not be found. ”

"I can't die, the person who can kill me Li Cheng hasn't been born yet! Even if they find out who I am, can I keep me with those 10,000 thieves? Li Chenghao laughed dryly, sat on a stone next to him, took the tea handed over by Tao Zisi, and poured it out: "Cool!" ”

Tao Zisi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the Heavenly King is an immortal tiger, even if some thieves with Li Yu recognize you, how can they?" How is it? ”

Li Cheng handed the tea bowl to Tao Zisi and patted his thigh: "Interesting, this battle is so interesting, it's an eye-opener." ”
