Three zhang city walls, 500 defenders, and 3,000 people attacked the city for a day without success, but left hundreds of corpses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Big brother, if you can't attack it, the brothers have the intention of retreating, do you want to go back to the mountain first and then make plans?"

Boss Ma glared fiercely, looked at the corpses piled up under the city and said, "It's just right that a bunch of waste is dead, and I saved a reward." ”

Ma Laoba was shocked, swallowed his saliva nervously, and cowered and retreated.

"Old eight", Ma Boss said suddenly: "You see that the defenders in the city are also decreasing, and they are also tired, let the brothers hold on any longer, and another wave will definitely be able to break through." ”

Seeing that the defenders were indeed a lot sparse, Ma Laoba showed joy, turned around and shouted: "The officers and troops in the city are dying, the brothers will be able to break the city if they attack again, and the reward woman will be enough when the time comes." ”

"Roar~Roar"

The sluggish morale has risen again, and the greed in the eyes of the horse bandits has become more and more intense.

The horse bandits cheered, Tian Shimu was anxious, the combat effectiveness of the new pawn and the old pawn was vastly different, and several times they repelled still relying on the power of the strong bow and crossbow and the light oil tank. But after many times, there were not many of these sharp weapons left, and many soldiers were killed and injured because they could not dodge the arrows because they were panicked, and the defenders only had more than 300 people left.

"In extraordinary times, we should use extraordinary methods, and immediately notify the Shangjia County Government in the city to borrow their guards, and the tax for entering the city will be reduced by half in the future."

"No"

Tian Shimu held on to the city wall and sighed silently, now the hidden troops in the city are only the guards of those big merchants, but the merchants have no actual benefits, so they don't care whether the city is alive or dead. With the power of their respective families, no matter how arrogant the horse bandits were, they did not dare to touch their brows, and only the interests of the people and the people's army were to defend the city.

After a while, a few pot-bellied rich gentry went up to the city wall, with two or three hundred strong men behind them, and the long-distance merchants were full of dangers, and the big merchants often hired retired soldiers or directly called their own soldiers to accompany them. Some wealthy merchants, such as Lü Buwei, even called on the Qin Iron Cavalry to escort their caravans.

Han Zhong, the manager of Han's Commercial Bank, hugged his fists and smiled: "Tian Duwei is generous and dares to exempt half of the tax. ”

"When I left, the lord gave me a cheap act, and I can still call the shots."

Knowing that it was not a fraud, Han Zhong sneered and said: "In this case, you might as well avoid another percent, and make a wish to sacrifice the Han Clan's strong bow to help the captain defend the city." ”

In the past and present life, the Han clan in Zhuxia had the smallest territory and the smallest number of troops, but it must have its strength to be independent of the world. Among the three Jin Dynasty, the Wei clan dominated the west of the river and occupied the important land in the river valley, and the Zhao clan based on the fertile land of Handan in the south of Taihang, but the Han clan was in the land of the four wars, and the strong enemy of Qin, Wei and Zhao was the strong enemy for hundreds of years. Relying on the strong crossbow and thick armor that is unique in the world, the Han family is like Israel on the earth, although the country is small and the technology is strong.

As soon as Han's crossbow came out, with one enemy and ten, all the merchants nodded and envied the Han family for having this heavy treasure, and the price of the Han family could become even lower in the future.

"Thank you Mr. Han Zhong for your kindness, fifty percent of the tax is already the bottom line, and besides, our army is not short of strong bows and crossbows."

Talking to Han about crossbows, the merchants sneered. Even the Wei Firm, which was not dealing with the Han family, said: "Du Wei should not be rash, it doesn't hurt to earn a few less taxes, it is better than losing the city and losing his life." ”

"It's not a lie, please follow me."

Tian Shimu took them to the arrow box, motioned to the soldiers to operate, and not long after loading the winding, eight large arrows roared and flew towards the city.

Then there were a few screams, and the bandit screamed and retreated back to the camp.

Han Zhong was dumbfounded, and the big businessmen were also stunned. It is said that a hundred steps can penetrate Yang, that is because the effective range of the bow and crossbow is more than 100 steps, and after this distance, it will be the end of the strong crossbow and cannot wear Lu Mian.

But this large black box could shoot hundreds of paces away, pinning the enemy to the ground. In terms of range, it is nothing, and the heavy crossbow of the Qin State also has this power, but it is very rare for the heavy crossbow to have such an accurate head, not to mention that there are still eight.

"The Han clan is willing to give people and food, just to see the structure of this big crossbow in the future."

I hadn't seen the world for a long time, and I never thought that the Han clan was so far behind in the bow and crossbow, and Han Zhong was in a cold sweat and didn't dare to imagine the consequences of such a heavy crossbow appearing in the armies of the nations. Especially after being known by the Qin State and the Zhou family, the Han clan was only afraid that the Han clan would have to raise swords again.

"The truth is only within the range of the crossbow arrow, and the lord's teachings are honest and do not deceive me", Tian Shimu helplessly showed his muscles and found that the situation had reversed, and the tension in his heart also dropped a little, and the great merchant who had been invincible just now also lowered his head at this time.

"It seems that I will change the way I speak in the future", Tian Shimu smiled secretly in his heart, but said: "This is not for me to decide, the price is still the same price just now, all the gentlemen are willing to let us set up a document as proof, and I don't dare to force it if I don't want to." ”

"The Zhao family is willing to do this business, and the gift of food and gifts is only to give the Zhao family a chance to buy this big crossbow in the future."

Zhao Jichang is so sophisticated, turning a corner to buy an arrow box in disguise.

Han Zhong glanced at him hatefully, and said fiercely: "The Han clan helped the captain defend the city for free, and also begged the Han clan to give the Han clan a chance to buy a big crossbow in the future." ”

"The same is true for me."

"The same is true of the Luoyi Zhang family."

……

Tian Shimu completely let go of his worries, bowed and said: "Thank you so much, gentlemen, I will try my best to recommend you, but whether it will succeed or not will be decided by the head of my family, I hope you will forgive me." ”

The arrow box is Zhao Zheng's furniture, and the Ruishi battalion of Yan State has not yet been equipped, and Zhao Zheng has never revealed the existence of half of the arrow box to Ji Dan. Tian Shimu's cautious character did not dare to rashly agree to sell, there was a country behind several houses opposite, and there was no shortage of skilled craftsmen, in case they were bought back to learn the technology, then it would be difficult to hide their guilt if they died.

Fortunately, everyone is also accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, and the people who are familiar with each other in the deceitful temple, as long as there is a chance, they can think of a hundred ways to persuade Zhao Zheng to sell.

The deal was negotiated, and the guards were placed in various gaps in the wall after simple training, and the defenders were instantly multiplied.

The panicked horse bandits who were attacked by the crossbow saw that there were many more figures on the city wall, and gradually retreated, and the horse boss had to use iron-fisted means to kill a few unlucky people who were injured but wanted to retreat. It is said that the city is full of improvised people, although the sword in his hand is not an empty shelf for them to slaughter.

The horse bandits were besieging the city in disbelief, and a rain of arrows completely broke their hearts, and the tricky arrows always hit them around the shield wall, losing dozens of brothers for every meter they advanced.

"Ah, they are old pawns, there are reinforcements in the city, I won't fight."

A horse bandit finally couldn't help it, dropped his blade and ran backwards with a scream, and the horse boss hurriedly stretched his bow and prepared to shoot him to stabilize the army's heart. Helplessly, all the horse bandits shouted to retreat, so he had to retreat coldly.

The horse bandit who retreated to the range of the arrow breathed a sigh of relief, and the horse boss thought about where to go next, and suddenly Ma Lao Ba ran in front of him and said in his ear: "Big brother is not good, the back is a cavalry army, and our back road is cut off." ”

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the battle of Daijun has made Ma Boss unlucky, 5,000 soldiers injured 2,000, and now it is unlucky to attack a small solid city, but unexpectedly a group of cavalry soldiers were killed, is God going to stop himself here.

"Mother, it's my father who doesn't believe in the number of days of Raush's son."

Ma Boss recovered his spirits: "To the west, it is not our world to enter Taihang, just slaughter the officials and soldiers under the top of Daping, and export the evil spirit." ”

"To the west into the mountains!"

The horse bandits huraled and threw away their armor and ran in a panic, and the five hundred soldiers led by Zhao Zheng had already been killed, even if the horse boss didn't say that they were going to run away.

"Yutou, you take the brothers to chase and kill the horse bandits, remember not to entangle with them, it seems that they want to go back to the old nest of Dapingding, you piggyback on your feet to inform He Miao to let go of the encirclement and let them go back, I want to see how much grain is left in Dapingding in March around the mountain."

"No."

"Brethren, kill horse bandits and earn a bounty."

"Derre!"

The sergeant is like a hunter hunting, and he looks at the horse bandit like he is looking at an elk running.
