Ye Xuan is more worried about the situation in Shanjuye City now, and now the logistics are far away, this is a major matter related to the whole army. The logistics have not arrived, no matter how powerful he is, he will never want to fight the Tang Army.

Because of the speculation that Hu Zhi was not simple, Ye Xuan was more worried about problems in the rear. He was worried that Hu Zhi's unreasonable actions were ordered by the governor or that there was something else. But no matter what, he couldn't put his mind at ease.

"Knock knock......" Under the city of Boping, the drums of war rose again.

Seven or eight thousand were chaotic, with a mixture of soldiers and young men, and the siege team of the Tang army set off again and came towards Boping City. And this time it's obviously faster than the last time, it's crazy, and it's going to make it difficult for the defenders to defend.

Not because of the strength of the besieging enemy, but because the besieging enemy army is not an ordinary soldier, but mixed with these more than 5,000 young and strong people. At this moment, the young men under the rule of the former government army, they carried the simple ladder and shouted to pounce again.

Soon the rebels again arrived at a distance of 500 paces from the city wall, and the warning and trumpet sound of "woo" also sounded on the city wall again. But the soldiers in the city all looked at their main general, Zhang Ting.

Hearing the sound of the horn, some of the siege teams under the city immediately dispersed, and some of them were still rushing forward. Naturally, they were the soldiers who dispersed, because they knew that it was the observation post in the city that was telling the guards of the city, and that the enemy was already within range of the archers. And those who rush forward are young and strong, they are not soldiers, so they naturally don't understand these very well.

Looking at the young man approaching with a ladder under the city, Zhang Ting's face turned blue, and he shouted angrily: "Release the arrow!" ”

Suddenly, the sound of the wooden poles on the city wall, which was as dense as a torrential rain, sounded immediately, and the arrows and crossbows were all out of order. The sharp whistling sound made everyone's scalps tingle, but although it made all the besiegers tremble, they knew that if they attacked or died, if they did not attack, they would die, and if they win, they would get the gold and silver to feed their families. So although they were scared, everyone still closed their eyes and prayed not to shoot themselves, and rushed forward desperately.

"Disperse! Fools, all scattered! As for the shield, protect my head! A bunch of fools, have you all forgotten what you said earlier? The Tang Army officer who was mixed in with it roared sharply.

Hearing his words, Qingzhuang immediately scattered in all directions and rushed towards the city. The simple wooden shield in his hand was also erected in front of his face. Although the crossbow can't be stopped, the arrows can still resist some of it.

The flying arrows brought countless blood rains, but apparently due to the dispersion of the siege soldiers, the lethality of this arrow rain was also weakened a little. And the young and strong, under the encouragement and shouts of the officers of the Tang Army, also ran away from fear, their morale was greatly boosted, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky for a while.

"It's all for me, now, they're enemies! If the city is destroyed, it will not be the thousands of people under the city who will suffer, but more than 100,000 people in the city. Beat the drums! Crossbowmen, shoot! Violators, behead! Ballista, fire! Seeing that many of his subordinates were shooting at the enemy troops under the city without any seriousness, Zhang Ting's face turned cold and shouted loudly.

The defenders on the city wall cheered up, threw aside the begging for mercy and abuse of the young men of the Liangzhou Mansion under the city, and launched a sharper counterattack and suppression. see

Suddenly the war drums thundered on the city wall, and then the rain of arrows almost covered the sky above the besieging soldiers, and not only that, but only listened to the "boom...... Boom ......", followed by a black rain of arrows from the sky with a roar, it was the city defender who was threatened.

"Ah...... Damn ......"

"Be careful......

"Help Me ......"

Suddenly the screams under the city wall were endless, and the young men who rushed to kill fell to the ground with arrows, but they couldn't die for a while, lying on the battlefield screaming desperately, and the momentum of the mixed team of young and strong soldiers was sluggish.

"No...... I am from Liangzhou Mansion, and I am ...... myself" A young man who was shot in the leg and fell to the ground shouted fiercely, hoping that the archers in the city would let him go, and then he was immediately stabbed into a hedgehog by several arrows, and the red blood immediately spread from under his body, forming a blood-colored picture.

Although many young men threw down their weapons and turned around and ran, they were then shot by the rear overseers with strong bows, and for a while, these young men did not dare to retreat lightly.

"Left and right is a death, killing, taking the city, even if you die in battle, the whole family will fall!" The Tang sergeant, who was mixed in the youth, shouted loudly.

With some shouts of encouragement, the young men also fought to the death, not that they didn't think about going back. They didn't dare, because their families were still under the control of the Tang Army. If you lead the crowd to kill, the unlucky one is not himself, but the whole family. This is also the reason why these young people know that they are attacking their own people, but they have to do it.

The chaotic young and strong mixed with the Tang army and the soldiers have approached the city wall, the large crossbow machine is no longer able to shoot, the defenders on the wall still dare to fire with longbows and hand crossbows, occasionally a few ladders are attached to the city wall, and before the chaotic people can climb up, they will be directly overturned by the defenders on the wall.

In just half an hour, the siege team of seven or eight thousand young and strong men mixed with soldiers finally retreated, and the Tang army sounded the horn of collecting troops. Hearing the sound of gold, the siege team finally breathed a sigh of relief, retreated like a tide, and the defenders on the wall also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, killing the Tang army and killing the young and strong people, it was different at that time, especially the young and strong people were still their own people.

From five hundred steps away from the city wall, all the way to the bottom of the city wall, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, arrows everywhere, covered with countless corpses and wounded soldiers who were still screaming miserably, blood stained every inch of land under the city wall for nearly five hundred steps, and the rich smell of disgusting blood filled the air.

The siege team never climbed the city walls, and the weapons were not complete, and the poorly trained young men and the soldiers who had lost their effective organization could not bring any damage to the defenders at all. But the soldiers guarding the city did not have the joy of victory, especially Zhang Ting, who frowned.

"Herald! Let the army from the south return to the camp, and there is no need to fight against the government army! Today, we've reached our goal! Meng Zhao sneered and ordered. If it weren't for the order from above, he couldn't let his subordinates lose too much, and he would have rushed over directly. He had already seen that the combat effectiveness of the government army was far worse than his own.

"Withdraw!" Seeing that the Tang army had withdrawn, and his subordinates were relieved, Ye Xuan ordered with an ugly face.

…………

"Lord, this is news from Yizhou!" In the handsome tent, Wei Dong handed the secret letter in his hand to Zhao Xun.

"Huh? It seems that Situ Lei is going to win! Zhang Yan, the king of Shu, couldn't hold out for long. After reading the content of the secret letter, Zhao Xun said slowly.

"Situ Lei is going to win? No, what does Zhang Yan say, he should be completely prepared to establish a country on his own, why did he lose less than three months after the war began? ”

Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "I haven't lost yet, but it's almost over!" Zhang Yan only had one state, and originally planned to use the strategy of sealing the king to attract the ambitions of the rest of the forces, and at the same time, the imperial court did not dare to act rashly. It's just that I didn't expect that the rest of the forces didn't take this empty name in their eyes at all. If you don't have the strength, what if you are an emperor? With strength, it is not the kings, but the kings. Therefore, now all the forces are fighting for territory, and the northern heroes are entangled in the land of Yanzhou, and as for the south, no one pays attention to it. Situ Lei focused his attention on Ningzhou, and the army pressed on, and there was enough room for maneuver. Zhang Yan, how can he be undefeated? Most importantly, he proclaimed himself king, and no one dared to speak out to help him. ”

There are no two days, and the king has two lords. Although all the forces did not obey the orders of the imperial court, and were even condemned as rebels and traitors by the imperial court, they still did not erect the banner of self-establishment as kings and self-established countries. It can even be said that they still have room to maneuver. But Zhang Yan is gone, he and the court have become dead, and there is no possibility of zài. Especially when Situ Lei still occupied the righteousness of the imperial court.

"In that case, the messenger of Situ Lei in the land of Yanzhou......"

"Those envoys are just Situ Lei's pawns in order to disturb the land of Yanzhou, and they want to let Murong Cheng and other forces entangle in Yanzhou and relax their attention to the southwest. Xu Jie...... What exactly are you working on? Zhao Xun muttered.

"Forget it, let our people keep an eye on Situ Leijun's movements, since they are busy with Ningzhou, we can't interfere. What happened in the army? ”

"Fortunately, since the last master's instruction, the soldiers have changed their appearance greatly, and they have trained to look the same. I am confident that after the training of the brothers in the Guards, they will be able to be reborn. Wei Dong said with a smile.

"The elite in the army is not trained, but fought. Without going through the test of iron and blood, they will not be able to become the real elite. ”

"Is there any unusual news coming from Yanzhou City?"

"There is nothing abnormal, but Xu Jie also seems to be at a stalemate with Situ Lei's envoy. It seems that because we can't agree on the terms of each other, we haven't reached an agreement. Otherwise, the Wuwei Army in Yanzhou City would not have moved until now. However, Xu Jie also began to reorganize and reorganize the army on a large scale, changing the original government army system to the establishment of the guard army. After thinking about it, Wei Dong said in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun sighed and said, "No abnormality is the biggest abnormality!" Perhaps, Ding Qiang, the general of the Armed Guards, will be defeated by Xu Jie in the end! ”

"No, the Wuwei Army is much stronger than the government army, besides, although Ding Qiang is arrogant and irritable, it is not easy for this person to sit in the position of the general of the Wei Army."

Zhao inquired: "Being able to see these means that you have also observed carefully." Ding Qiang sat on the position of general, which is indeed not simple. But his position as the general of the Wuwei Army is also a big burden. There are many people who peep at him, and there are many people who hope that he will fail. As a leading coach, arrogant can barely be said, but he is irritable...... That's a big hidden danger. A short-tempered person is not good at listening to people, and he cannot bear his temperament. It's okay to fight, but it's a bit reluctant to let him sit on one side. ”

Wei Dong took a breath and said, "In this way, we all see Xu Jie as too simple, so will we expose ......?"

"No, at most, I will guess that Feng Ziming is connected to the Xiaoguo Army, but I won't guess our identity. He also didn't believe that Feng Ziming would hand over the military power in his hands to others. Zhao Xun said calmly.
