Chapter 192: Recruit the people and strong, and the thief army will attack the city

"What? The official army actually called itself a beggar army? Where did it come from?! ”

Zhao Sheng only felt that his own brain was a little insufficient, and he saw from a distance that the costumes of these soldiers defending the city were all uniform, not to mention the standard weapons, and the three artillery pieces placed above the south gate, weren't this the official army?

"Don't care about him, just call for a round of work, you can go to the city, only one or two hundred people, and the small walls of the city dare to try to resist my army, it's really damned!"

In his mind, this is nothing more than an official and military strategy, if it is the same righteous army, how can this little bit of people and horses, everyone looks at the thieves from all over the country, who is not three or five thousand people, do not pull some women and children to strengthen the momentum, it is not easy to say that their own family is also a righteous army, look at the soldiers guarding the city, each strong and strong, look at it is all red-eyed, I think that if it is after the city is broken, the official army is coerced into the gang, and it is considered to be elite, which is also excellent.

But at the moment, he will not delay, seeing that there are few officers and soldiers, and the army is divided into four gates, he has a plan, and finds a few old battalion diehards, each with two or three hundred young men and women, and coercs women and children to strengthen the momentum, and then stands at each gate, and then cuts down trees, and temporarily makes ladders to prepare for the siege.

Xu Dabiao, who was guarding the city, was upset, this thief was really dead, he bit when he saw meat, and he was relying on many people and bullying his own family, and he was ready to forcibly enter the city, "The herald ordered the north gate to light a very urgent message, transmit everywhere, and call the reinforcements to come quickly." ”

Qiu Laosan has been following him inseparably, hearing this, he immediately took the order to leave, Xu Dabiao called a team of cronies to come up, in front of the overseer of a military justice department in the third capital assigned to him, and said in a deep voice, "Liu Xiaonian, you take a platoon of the headquarters, go to the city to select young people to come up to defend the city, if you dare to disobey, you can be immediately killed!" ”

"This?" Liu Xiaonian looked at the overseers on the side, he didn't wonder, this move obviously violated his own military regulations, if there was no person from the military justice department nodded and agreed, he wouldn't dare to do it, you must know that in the begging army, the military regulations are strict, and the unorganized and private actions will be punished, even if they win, they will be punished.

The overseer is about forty years old, no longer in the prime of life, it is his calmness that he was specially selected as the military law of the whole army, and at this moment he also thought for a while, seeing that the situation was urgent, he didn't care that Xu Dabiao didn't negotiate with his own family and ordered alone, "In your eyes, my Lao Zheng is just a pusme that only bullies his own family?" Which is right and which is wrong, how can I not know, Xiao Nian, you hurry up, and then go to me to make up the formalities. ”

Before Liu Xiaonian could frown, the middle-aged man added with a cold face, "You can't do evil things, bring in strong men, each family must leave a voucher, and wait for the envoy to call for silver in the future, we can't make the people in the county misunderstand us, and we can't take the opportunity to attack and disturb people's houses, otherwise we will be severely punished." ”

If there is rape and plunder, he will be beheaded and will not be spared, and this military judge obviously knows the severity and thinks that his own family has the duty of supervision, so he does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and strictly follows the handbook 1510 that has been issued.

"Did you make a note of it, why don't you go soon!" Xu Dabiao can't say what he likes or dislikes the military judge, after all, he is leading the troops outside, and he is always uncomfortable with such a mother-in-law by his side, but when he thinks about some trivial things in the past, and the errands that he copes with above, they are all thrown to Zheng Wuxing, and he is also idle, and now he hurriedly urges and asks Liu Xiaonian to hurry down and prepare.

"Lao Zheng, look at this thief army, if we attack the city immediately and there are no reinforcements from all sides, how long can we defend it?!" If it is said that it is head-on, Xu Dabiao is not very afraid of this thief army, after all, there are only so many people who can fight among them, but now he has the responsibility of defending the land, and he has long regarded the people in the city as the object of his own protection.

If you rashly top seven or eight thousand thieves, it will be difficult to take care of the beginning and end, and sooner or later you will be called to break through the city and fight, even if two hundred people cut the blade, they are not the opponent of seven or eight thousand people, so he asked worriedly.

Although Zheng Wuxing is a military judge stationed in the capital, he doesn't have to go into battle or lead troops, but he was born in an official army and military household, and he was familiar with the battle formation in the past, but he is old and can't lift the blade, but his eyes are still there, and there are no outsiders at the moment, seeing Xu Dabiao asking in a low voice, he also thought for a while.

"I'll see the hanging." After saying only that, with a worried face, he looked at the chaotic thief army outside the city, knocked on the wall of the earthen wall a few times, pinched it with his hand, shook his head and said, "The city wall is so low, if the thief army does not hesitate to pile up their lives, I am afraid that in half an hour, they will be able to enter the city, and then they can only fight to the death with a sword." ”

As he spoke, he took out the waist knife he was wearing from his body, and smiled bitterly, thinking that since he joined the beggar army, when there was no military law team to fight in person, he was afraid that he would set a precedent.

For a while, there were only two or three hundred people, of which about half were young and strong, and the rest were all crying women, children, old and weak, and they didn't know where the thieves came from.

Xu Dabiao was no longer slack, and directly took two personal guards to start inspecting this short section of the city wall, while roaring angrily, "The whole army is on alert, ready to engage in battle, is the oil pot boiling!" ”

"Captain, you see, when the thieves come like this, I will fall down, and I will make them open their skins and flesh." A man who was burning the oil pot didn't have time to wipe the sweat from his forehead, so he let them wet his clothes, and he was busy with his hands and feet, constantly filling the small pot with hot oil brought to several men.

Xu Dabiao looked at the solemn faces of everyone and stuck to their original positions, and immediately nodded approvingly, and then looked at the team of thieves who were getting closer and closer under the city, just snorted, and hurriedly went up to make up for the gap in the defense in person.

"This army is a little weird, why is it only fifty steps away from the city, and they haven't released their arrows yet, aren't they stupid?" A small leader who was in the middle of the thief army, his face changed a little at the moment, and he finally grabbed the task of leading people to rush to the city, that is, he was moved by Zhao Sheng's promise to go to the city and let it be plundered.

Thinking that the city guarded by only 200 officers and soldiers must be called down, after all, how much combat power can the military have? He must have fired arrows far from the range, and he had encountered a lot of such situations, and he had some experience.

But this time, he can think of a fork, according to Li Jing's establishment, each has one-half of the men and horses must have bows and crossbows and firearms, as the existence of the whole army's long-range strike force, although Xu Dabiao has not been able to fill the formation, and divided a team to go down to the township to suppress the landlords, but there are still seventy or eighty bows and crossbows firearms soldiers, assigned to the south gate of the thief army's key attack, there are more than 30 people, but now, after receiving the order, he did not say a word, just silently stretched his bow and arrows, and looked indifferently at this group of approaching thieves......
