It's a pity that the defenders won't give them a chance to be stunned. With an order, hundreds www.biquge.info of crossbows let out a breathtaking roar through the air, as if the grim reaper's grin pounced on the unobstructed rebel soldiers on the city wall. Since it was fired from inside the city to the city wall, it was not protected by battlements like the outer city, and after the sound of crossbow arrows tearing through the human body, less than half of the rebels could still stand on the city wall! Many people were even shot at the same time by a huge crossbow arrow, piercing them like meat skewers! Even more unlucky, he was hit by more than one crossbow arrow, and suddenly the whole person was torn apart, turning into countless pieces of minced flesh in the sky full of blood flowers! However, this was not the end of the story, as Zhao Min's army had always followed a three-stage shooting pattern in the long range, so the second round of crossbow arrows rained down on the second side!

At this time, the rebels who were still surviving on the city walls finally collapsed, let out a shout, and turned around in desperation and jumped under the city walls. Just kidding, even if you fall outside the city and break your arm and leg, it's better than turning into a puddle of minced meat on the city wall! And the enemy army outside the city wall didn't know what was going on, seeing the friendly troops in the city jumping down and running for their lives, they didn't know what to do, and fled to the main formation together under the herd mentality, this escape suddenly formed a chain reaction, you run and I also escape, for a time there were fleeing rebels all over the city, and there was no longer the strength to organize a counteroffensive, and Lu Xu's army was defeated in this siege battle!

The situation was reversed in an instant, making Zhao Minjun's army in the city burst into cheers of victory! However, now is not the time to celebrate the victory, the war is not over yet, Zhao Yun quickly commanded the personnel to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded, as for the enemy lying on the ground, whether they are dead or seriously injured and unable to move, they will all throw down the city wall; During the war, there is no mercy to speak of! At this time, news also came from Dongcheng, driven by the rout of Xicheng, the enemy army besieging Dongcheng also retreated, and the siege battle came to an end temporarily.

However, Zhao Min is not in a joyful mood now, although Lu Xu's siege team suffered heavy losses, but its main crossbowmen were not damaged, the most important thing is that the first three and two are a total of five ballistas, which are always a sharp sword hanging above his head, and the power of its collapse of the city tower left an indelible shadow on Zhao Min, which always made Zhao Min a little breathless.

Of course, this battle was not without gains, the enemy's melee troops lost nearly half, and Zhao Min's task was mainly to hold the city and wait for the Qingzhou Mansion Army to attack before and after instead of defeating the enemy now, so the most important thing now is to gain time! The current time is on Zhao Min's side, and for every extra point of delay, Lu Xu is one point closer to failure!

At this time, Zhao Yun approached and reported: "The results of the first battle to defend the city have basically been counted, the enemy has about 1,200 casualties, and our side has more than 700 casualties, among which the newly recruited soldiers have suffered the heaviest casualties, more than 500 people. Zhao Min was silent, although the war in the era of cold weapons was cruel, but in the end, the killing efficiency was much less than that of hot weapons. How long did this war last? Now that the sky is dawning, it should last four hours or five hours, and the total number of dead and wounded is only two thousand, which may be regarded as the only data in this era to talk about masturbation. But speaking of time, why hasn't the Qingzhou Mansion Army appeared after so long? Although it is normal for the Qingzhou Army to be slower than Lu Xujun, after all, it is only the inland soldiers of ordinary states and counties, and it cannot be compared with the elite under Lu Xu's command. But no matter how slow it is, it will not exceed an hour's journey, you must know that there is only a half-day trip between Xixian and Pingshou, why is there no trace after so long? Thinking of this, Zhao Min asked Zhao Yun suspiciously: "Zilong, do you know where the Qingzhou Mansion Army is now?" ”

Zhao Yun glanced at Zhao Min and stopped talking. Zhao Min suddenly became a little anxious, "Could it be that there is still something hidden in this matter?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and finally spoke: "Although Yun doesn't know where the Qingzhou Mansion Army is now, Yun estimates that the King of Beihai will see them appear soon. ”

What does this mean? Zhao Min pondered again, raised his head sharply, and said hatefully: "What does Zilong mean...... The Qingzhou Army is actually not far away, but it is deliberately delaying in order to consume the strength of the rebels? ”

Zhao Yun sighed: "I'm afraid it's not just about consuming the strength of the rebels, it's not just about consuming the strength of our army at the same time, after all, ...... The strength of our army has also swelled too fast! ”

When Zhao Min heard this, his eyes were about to erupt into flames: "Then Cao Kai is so vicious and wants to use the hands of the rebels to destroy me?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head: "It is a bit exaggerated to say that we want to destroy our army, after all, the influence of the King of Beihai in Beihai is not trivial, if the King of Beihai has something, even if he assassinates Shi, he will not be charged." It is estimated that he is planning to lose both sides and then the government army will come forward to clean up the overall situation! ”

Zhao Min was already out of breath at this time, his nose was snorting and panting, and his eyes were even redder, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat! This bastard, I'm working hard here, he picks up ready-made products in the back, and he wants to make my soldiers lose everything? Could it be that if I order troops in Jimotun, it will be a threat to his dignified state capital?

No, you can't think so, Zhao Min closed his eyes. When the Qingzhou army appeared, the rebels had only one way to be defeated, and at that time he was bigger than me and had more soldiers than me, what else could I do but swallow my anger? Rushing to him and pointing his nose and accusing him, what does it help? No, you can't let him take advantage of the cheapness! Thinking of this, Zhao Min opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Yundao: "Zilong, if you wait for the Qingzhou army to arrive, the rebels will inevitably be in chaos, are you sure to snatch the ...... from the chaotic army?" Uh, how many ballistae? ”

Zhao Yun glanced at Zhao Min with some surprise, he was still angry at the bullfight just now, and in a blink of an eye, he could calm down and think about how to maximize his own interests, and he couldn't help but feel a little admiration, where is this like the heart of a fifteen-year-old boy! At the moment, he hugged his fists and said: "The last general will take the order and guarantee the completion of the task!" ”

As long as you grab the three ballistas in the west of the city, it is easy to do it, and the two in the east of the city will not be able to escape. The rest is how to win greater credit, Zhao Min squinted at the rebel army's main formation, I don't know if capturing and killing the rebel commander is a big achievement?

Just as Zhao Min was thinking, a puff of smoke and dust rose from the west, and as Zhao Yun expected, just when Lu Xu's army formation was in chaos, the Qingzhou Mansion Army appeared! Zhao Min already understood what was going on, and sneered in his heart, you guys are really here! But don't get too complacent, you don't know who will have the last laugh before it's over!

Now that the Qingzhou Army appeared, there was no suspense in the battle situation, and Zhao Min didn't bother to watch them eat dogs, so he brushed his sleeves down the city wall at the moment, and then asked people to go back to the county government to invite Mr. Meng and others to come here. At this time, Menghou Xiahou Ying and others were anxiously waiting in the county office, because Zhao Min realized the danger of this battle at the beginning of the war, and once the war started, he would inevitably have no energy to take care of a few civil servants, not to mention that even if Meng Hou and others were on the battlefield, there was no place to give advice, so they sent a few guards to guard Meng Hou and others in the county government and strictly forbade them to leave the palace. But at this time, it has come to the end of the battle, and there must be no danger, so it is time for them to come out to breathe, and at the same time discuss the next step with everyone.

Soon Meng Hou and the others came to the city gate and saw Zhao Min with a gloomy face, sitting downstairs at the city gate and poking at the wall for a while. Meng Hou saw that Zhao Min's face was wrong, and quietly threw a look at Zhang Han, Zhang Han understood, and whispered a few words in Meng Hou's ear, Meng Hou instantly understood, this master was in a bad mood by someone, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the King of the North Sea, congratulations to the King of the North Sea!" ”

Zhao Min looked up at Meng Hou in surprise when he heard this, and his tone was a little unkind: "Mr. Meng, this time the army is lost, but most of the head has been taken by Qingzhou Mansion, how can you be happy?" Sir, don't cancel Min. After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to fight with the city wall.

Zhao Min usually calls himself "Mr.", but today he actually calls "Mr. Meng", which shows how bad Zhao Min's mood is. Meng Hou didn't care, shook his head and smiled: "The king of Beihai has defeated the rebels this time, and it is useless to destroy the enemy, it should be a great achievement, isn't this a joy?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Min bowed his head and was silent, Meng Hou continued: "After cutting off Lu Xu, Beihai County will no longer have the power to restrain the King of Beihai, so he can show his strength, isn't it happy?" ”

Zhao Min finally raised his head when he heard this, but he was still a little depressed. Meng Hou chuckled and said, "What the King of the North Sea is worried about is nothing more than two. One of the trophies was taken by the Qingzhou army, and our army made a wedding dress in vain; Our army lost its troops and lost its troops, but in the end it gained nothing. But no? ”

Zhao Min sighed: "As Mr. said, Min is not angry in his heart. ”

Meng Hou shook his head and said solemnly: "The King of Beihai is pure in nature, so it is naturally difficult to accept such a result. But being in the whirlpool of power is nothing more than people counting me, and I am also counting people. How can there be a reason that all the advantages in the world are taken by my family? If the King of Beihai thinks so, Hou advises the King of Beihai to ask the Son of Heaven to play as soon as possible, and to invite him to the border as soon as possible to be a prince of peace, it is better than suffering from that kind of torture in another day. You need to know that everything in this world has gains and losses, and those who are self-centered in all things will die sooner or later without a place to be buried. ”

Zhao Min was stunned when he heard this. The truth of what Meng Hou said is very simple, everything in the world is because of interests, it is impossible for a person to take advantage of it, only the interests are evenly touched to obtain a long-term effect, Qingzhou Mansion is not good to do this, but one takes real benefits and one gets a false name, and each takes what he needs. But the problem now is that Qingzhou Mansion is using himself without consulting him, and he has to get a big head and a small head, so he is not happy. But on the other hand, what was your original purpose? Isn't it just to remove Lu Xu, the mountain that is pressing on his head, and now that the strategic goal has been achieved, what is there to be angry about? Thinking of this, Zhao Min took a deep breath and respectfully saluted Meng Hou: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, Min is taught." ”

Meng Hou saw that Zhao Min quickly understood what he meant, and he was also very relieved in his heart: "Actually, this is not necessarily a bad thing, the Qingzhou army has taken the benefits, and it will always feel a little guilty about our side, so it will not pay too much attention to other things, such as ...... Exploit? ”

Zhao Min frowned when he heard this, indeed, this counterinsurgency will definitely be rewarded, isn't what he lacks is his official position and reputation? As long as Qingzhou Mansion is not here to reach out, it shouldn't be difficult to get benefits, right?

Meng Hou suddenly approached Zhao Min and said in a low voice: "If the King of the North Sea really cares about the actual benefits of the battlefield, he may be able to manage to get some unexpected benefits!" ”

Zhao Min jumped up when he heard this: "Will the plan be released?" ”

Meng Hou stroked his beard with a smile: "This matter may still need to be planned......
