Lu Hongfan, who was in the city of Yanzhou, finally began to ease the despair in his heart after seeing the marching sequence of the English army in the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"This one, after all, is the right bet." Lu Hongfan stroked the battlements of the city wall of Yanzhou City, and thought with some relief, as long as the English people won the final victory, their status and power could still be maintained, and there were nearly 5,000 Chinese people in Yanzhou City, and the English wanted to rule these Chinese people, so they must use their own wisdom like Takagi Zhenyu to adopt the method of indirect rule, because this is the fastest policy to get the most dominant force, and the resistance is also the least.

Lu Hongfan, who had made up his mind, walked in the direction of the castle tower, wanting to gather troops to cooperate with the attack of the English army. At this time, a feeling like a soul being withdrawn suddenly befell Lu Hongfan's body.

"What's going on? This feeling of weakness and powerlessness is like the whole body has been hollowed out. Lu Hongfan felt dizzy for a while, and hurriedly held on to the wall buttress on the side, gasping for breath, with an earthy face on his face.

"Is it my life blessing that has been withdrawn?!" Soon, Lu Hongfan figured out what all this was about, and the passage of his life returned to the level of ordinary people, and there was only one possibility, that is, Takagi Masuke was dead.

"Not good." Lu Hongfan thought of the problem that he had not paid attention to, and saw that the clone army on the city tower did not have any abnormal movements, and thought that Takagi Zhenyu had escaped from the encirclement of the Huaxia army, so those clone armies did not change at all, and the deployment of those clone armies that ordered the patrol battalion to guard against the clone army had been withdrawn, but at this moment, those clone armies that acted on their own according to the order to defend Yanzhou City seemed to have fallen into a malfunction collectively, and their eyes were dull and they were unsteady on their feet.

"General Wang Xuan, kill them quickly, and kill all the Dongying troops on these city walls." Lu Hongfan ran towards the direction of the city tower while running a little disregarding the image, he had witnessed the scene of continuous riots after the Chinese ruler of Yanzhou City was killed and the clone army under his command was reborn, when those clones were transformed into replicants, they didn't care about anyone's orders, as if they only had the instinct to survive, like a beast eager to live, waving their weapons at everything around them.

"My lord, why do you have to do this?" Wang Xuan saw Lu Hongfan's loud shouting, and he couldn't believe the order he received, but he hesitated, and he still didn't dare to disobey Lu Hongfan's order, so under Wang Xun's supervision, the soldiers of the patrol battalion began to carry out the task of "clearing" in groups.

The sluggish clones on the tower were quickly cut down one after another, blood pooling and flowing down the stairs of the tower, the breath of death permeating the entire length of the city wall.

"General Wang, the enemy army is attacking the city tower, and it is the right wing army of the rebellious party." One of the soldiers observed the direction in which the new guards were turning and immediately reported to Wang Xun.

"The enemy is going to attack the city? Quick, get ready to meet the enemy, archers, bring all the archers to this side. Wang Xun shouted loudly after seeing the movement of the new guards not far from the city tower.

On the more than a dozen baggage carts pushed by the new guard, there is a siege ladder that can be assembled, and at this moment the military column of more than 500 people is neatly and orderly close to the gate of the city tower of Yanzhou City, although the siege skills obtained from the Song army are very few, but to deal with the patrol battalion above the city tower at this moment, Genmen Jiro feels that it is more than enough.

"Reina Hase, since Lord Monarch has promised, then from now on, you are a member of our new guard, and when the new guard will launch a strong attack to attract the attention of the defenders, you will take the opportunity to infiltrate the city, and then lead the warriors of the Hase family to open the city gate, understand?" After Gento Jiro saw that the long ladder was assembled, he said to Reina Hase, who was holding a blood-stained katana.

On the slender knife, Takagi Masuke's blood was still dripping into the ground little by little, and Reina Hasei looked at Genmen Jiro and said, "I will fulfill this promise, Gento-sama, after all, this is related to the lives of more than a thousand people in the Hasegawa family, I want them to live, and to live better." ”

Genmen Jiro nodded, then turned his horse's head to look in the direction of the Yanzhou City Tower, pulled out his saber and ordered loudly: "Lord Monarch has an order, the new guard, attack the city!" ”

There are more than 500 new guards on standby, and in the strict military discipline training, receiving orders and then acting has become everyone's instinct, Genmen Jiro gave an order, and the new guard soldiers carrying the long ladder immediately shouted and began to charge, followed by more soldiers holding wooden shields and slowly moving forward.

Scattered arrows immediately fell from the towers, or shot at the wooden shields of the new guards' soldiers with a dull thud, or into the soldiers' bodies, bringing out blood and screams, but more arrows were shot into the ground, embedded in the soft earth.

On the castle tower, because the patrol battalion had just slaughtered the clone army, it still caused a lot of chaos in the face of the sudden attack of the new guards, and Wang Xun ran left and right to make peace, barely stabilizing the situation.

"What can I do about this, the city of Yanzhou may not be able to support the English army to enter the city." Wang Xun watched the new guards use only ten long ladders, and dared to get together to launch a fierce attack that was not afraid of death, and immediately thought worriedly. If it was peacetime, even if the number of the new guards doubled, Wang Xun was confident that he could easily defend against this attack, but at this moment, the patrol battalion had just been defeated, and then Yanzhou City was surrounded by the Chinese army, and the army's morale was greatly shaken.

"Even I began to suspect that these rebellious party troops might be representatives of the legitimacy of China, not to mention the hearts of those patrol battalion soldiers." Wang Xun looked at the panicked soldiers and was very worried, relying on the eloquence of Lu Hongfan's literati in the past, he successfully "indoctrinated" the heart of the patrol battalion into contempt for the existence of other Chinese armies, because the core of that set of theories is the existence of Dongying people, and the Dongying people are the core of China, and then despise other disobedient Chinese armies as chaotic parties, because that set of theories meets the practical needs of the time, and it is a two-pronged approach that can live and then have no guilt in your heart. When that reality no longer exists, it is not surprising that the theory will collapse, as the general of the superior, Wang Xun is very clear. The important thing is not what the Dongying people who are regarded as the core think, but whether the soldiers of the patrol battalion are willing to convince themselves.

"Don't forget that your family is still in the city, these besieging armies are all bandits, if you don't want your family to be plundered, just hold on to your weapons and resist desperately." Wang Xun sensitively sensed that the previous theoretical bases could no longer play any role, and at this time, only the family members in Yanzhou City were the only basis for arousing the morale of the patrol battalion to resist. At the beginning, it was ordered that only every family should dedicate a young man to join the patrol battalion and live in the city, which was for the sake of the binding of interests and survival interests at this moment, and these interests were taken from the residents of Yanzhou City who were driven out of the city.

A few sporadic New Guard soldiers broke through the defensive line and jumped onto the tower of Yanzhou City, but they were immediately killed by the morale-boosting patrol battalion soldiers, and their bodies were thrown under the city, stirring up patches of dust.

"This can barely hold on to a whole group, and I hope the English army can move faster." After Wang Xun saw that the attacks of the New Guards were repulsed one after another, and the company's long ladder was cut by nearly half, he thought with some confidence in his heart.

Suddenly, continuous screams sounded on the battlements on the side, and blood splashed directly at Wang Xun's feet, Wang Xun turned his head, and immediately saw a very young Dongying samurai, holding a bloody katana standing calmly on top of the castle tower.

"Is this the power of the Huaxia people?" Senranmaru kicked away the head of a soldier who was cut off by himself, and then searched for Wang Jun's figure, and said with a gloomy look on his face: "I remember you, the Chinese general under the command of Takagi Shinyu, you are called Wang Jun, right, led the troops to burn the village of the Dongying people, and we met again." ”
