Cheng Pu turned around and came to the headquarters of the soldiers. Under the rising sun, his majestic "Xuantie Fish Scale Armor" reflected a dazzling brilliance, reflecting his more and more heroic courage.

- These Northern Army are really rich......

Zu Rong stood behind Sun Jian and thought sourly in his heart.

"Rise!"

"Forward!"

"Shield Guard!"

"Waveshot!"

Cheng Pu commanded more than 400 elite subordinates, and he moved freely, as if he was operating a sophisticated machine.

According to the normal establishment of the Han army, a military marquis can command a "department" of men, and according to the establishment, there should be 500 people. However, Cheng Pu's "department" was actually temporarily organized by the Northern Army in order to meet the war.

Among them, there were only more than 70 veterans who originally belonged to the Northern Army. The rest of the personnel were selected from the urgently recruited "good family sons"1 and county soldiers. It is normal for the number of soldiers to be insufficient.

As a "fake" soldier of the Northern Army, Cheng Pu, like other officers of the Northern Army, naturally has hidden discrimination against local county soldiers. Although he was only just now temporarily promoted to "fake military marquis" because of his combat bravery. Even if Zhu Jun assigned him to Sun Jian's men to help in the battle, he still adhered to this arrogance.

This move is that Cheng Pu wants to show Sun Jian, a leopard from the south, the combat art of the Northern Army, and by the way, scare and scare the Yellow Turban Army defenders at the head of the city.

Cheng Pu's idea has been realized to a large extent. The soldiers of the Tianping Army, so far, have been fighting against Haoqiang's private soldiers and county soldiers, how have they ever seen the most elite Northern Army in the Han Army? Looking at the movements of hundreds of people in the city, many soldiers of the Tianping Army had to grab the weapons in their hands vigorously to prevent the weapons from falling to the ground.

The Northern Army had already reached a position only fifty steps away from the city wall, and the soldiers of the Tianping Army actually did not release a single arrow or arrow in the process!

"Shoot the arrows!"

With more than 100 crossbow machines of the Northern Army, they began to shoot overwhelming salvos, and the Tianping Army at the head of the city woke up like a dream. Shen Fu, who was shocked just now, shouted hoarsely:

"Raise your shield! Raise your shield! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Fight back......"

Although the Tianping Army did not have complete battle equipment, it had long placed a lot of tables, door panels and other things on the head of the city as fortifications against arrows. However, under the consternation of everyone, they were caught off guard by the attack of the Han army, and as a result, a rain of arrows fell, and sixteen or seven people were hit by arrows and lost their combat effectiveness.

"First aid! First Aid! ”

Shen Fu blamed himself in his heart due to improper command, and shouted in a hurry. However, under the lesson of blood, the soldiers of the Tianping Army quickly understood, and while sending the dead and wounded to the city, they bowed their bodies one after another and hid under the anti-arrow cover. Even if you have to move around, you usually have to hold up a small shield or lid......

"Han Army ......"

Cheng Pu heard the miserable shouts and busy sounds on the wall, and he was sure in his heart, and he cheered up. The surrounding officers and soldiers of the Northern Army, hearing the shouts of the commander, responded very cooperatively:

"Mighty!"

Accompanied by the "Han Army ......", "Mighty! Cheng Pubu fired three rounds in a row without encountering any counterattack. However, when the soldiers of the Tianping Army at the head of the city adapted to the salvo of the Han army, sporadic counterattacks began.

A long arrow flew at a rapid pace and nailed to the face door of a Northern crossbowman. The crossbowman screamed and fell backwards. The robe next to him went up to investigate, and found that the long arrow was nailed straight into the brain, and it was already hopeless.

But that's just the beginning.

Compared with the arrows flying under the city wall, the counterattack on the city head was obviously much weaker. However, with the help of battlement walls and anti-arrow sheds, there are also contacts and contacts, not blindly passive beatings.

The Northern Army was well-equipped, with complete armor and an advantage in the number of crossbow machines. And the crossbowmen of the Tianping Army dodge everywhere, using hidden arrows to hurt people. Although the accuracy is not good, and the opponent's armor is strong, the effective damage caused is not much, but relying on the opponent's obvious target, the ratio of the crossbowmen's results on both sides is roughly maintained at four to three.

Although the Northern Army had the upper hand in battle damage, the opponent's crossbowmen were replenished in a steady stream. With Cheng Pu's estimate, even if his elite northern army dies, there will be a lot of enemies left.

This ratio is obviously not good for the Northern Army.

Of course, Sun Jian would not stand stupidly and watch the Northern Army and the Tianping Army shoot at each other. In fact, Sun Jian has always believed that his own army is the protagonist of this battle.

Five rough ladders, pushed from behind by Sun Jian's troops in armor. Due to the containment of Cheng Pu's department, the Tianping Army's attack on the cloud ladder was extremely weak. A young general, commanding his auxiliaries, paved the way for the ladder to advance. When the upper part of the ladder successfully mounted the city wall of the single father, Sun Jian, who was supervising the battle in the back, shouted with satisfaction:

"Well done Youtai!"

This "Youtai" brother is naturally Sun Jian's fourth brother, Sun Jing and Sun Youtai.

Sun Jian habitually helped the "red curtain" on the top of his head, and with his wide palm, he automatically grasped the handle of the knife on his waist, raised his arms and shouted:

"Where's the first dengshi?!"

A group of strong men who followed closely behind Sun Jian shouted together:

"The first den is here!"

There were about forty or fifty strong men in this group. Some are tall, some are short; Some are fat, some are thin; Some are nearly forty years old, and some are still childish...... It looks like a rabble.

However, from them, the evil aura revealed piercingly told every onlooker:

This is not a rabble, but a group of the most powerful soldiers. In the slightly chaotic military appearance, there is actually an extremely terrifying killing machine!

They started from Wu County, followed the leader Sun Jian along the way, overcame thorns and thorns, paved the road with blood, and killed the famous name of "Jiangdong Tiger". Although the number of people has slowly decreased from more than 100 to 46 now, their overall combat strength has increased instead of decreasing!

They are called:

- Tiger Servant!

"Follow me!"

Sun Jian has never been an honest general who hides behind the military formation and directs the dispatch. On the contrary, his favorite thing to do in battle is to rush to the front line of the battlefield.

It is precisely because of the boss's example that every soldier under Sun Jian has the courage to kill the enemy bravely and fight bloodily. Sun Jian's unshakable prestige in the pawn of his subordinates was also established in this scene when he took the lead in fighting in person!

However, this time, Sun Jian's attack did not materialize.

Because, someone preempted it.

Cheng Pu is not an arrogant person. However, he is also definitely not a humble person.

For those who have not yet been approved by him, Cheng Pu has never considered their ideas.

When the ladder was erected, Cheng Pu summoned the most daring soldiers of his subordinates and said to them:

"The ladder is set up, go up first!"

An old team leader asked suspiciously:

"It seems that Sima didn't say it, we are the first?"

Cheng Pu laughed dryly and said:

"Isn't the headquarters the first formation? Then, the first battle of ascending to the city should also be completed by a certain class! ”

These soldiers of the Northern Army are all arrogant soldiers. I don't care too much about the earth leopards that come up from Sun Jian's place. Since the boss has put forward such a reasonable reason, it is just a common thing for them to grab such a small credit.

So, when the three ladders were laid, this group of Northern soldiers wearing light armor and carrying small short shields honestly and unceremoniously squeezed away the auxiliary soldiers next to them, rushed up, and launched an attack on the city!

ps:1 In the Han Dynasty, the Liangjiazi was a specific class. They have certain assets, follow the code of ethics, and are people who do a decent job.

In particular, the "Liangjiazi of the Six Counties", that is, the Liangjiazi of the six counties of Tianshui, Longxi, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, and Xihe, are an important source of the state's selection of troops and generals because of their geographical location and personal quality, and the government gives them special preferential treatment.

In addition to the six counties, the sons of good families in other places also have preferential policies such as serving as officials in the government and exempting them from taxes. Although they were obliged to serve in the conscription, many of them paid others to serve in their place. Even if he serves on his own, he has a higher status than an ordinary soldier.
