Cui Qian looked at Sun Shao, who was calm in front of the formation, and his face was so gloomy that he could drip. He didn't believe that Sun Shao could capture Xijuan City, although Xijuan City was not a big city, but there were two thousand people guarding it, for this kind of small city, two thousand people were enough to deal with two or three times the siege, Sun Shao's descendants only had two thousand people, and he had never heard that two thousand people could capture a city guarded by two thousand people, unless the other party was an idiot.

Is Li Jing an idiot? Cui Qian doesn't think so. It is said that Nanjun is a long and narrow strip, the east and west are not more than 100 miles wide, but the north and south are more than 1,000 miles long, the east is the sea, it is the paradise of pirates, and the southwest crosses the long mountain, which is where the Funan country is located, Li Jingneng can live in peace with these barbarians, and naturally has his means.

Such a person led 2,000 people to defend the city, if Sun Shao had 10,000 people, he might still have a chance, but now he only has 2,000 people, in Cui Qian's opinion, this is a fool's dream at all.

"There's a kind of shaft." Cui Wu held the knife in one hand and praised with his big mouth in the other.

"Kind?" Cui Qian laughed disdainfully: "If your life is gone, what kind of life is there?" He thought he was really the overlord Xiang Yu, and he could be ten with one? Two thousand men are attacking the city, and I will see how he ends. ”

Cui Wu glanced at Cui Qian, and rolled his eyes: "Do you think he has no chance to win?" ”

"Do you think there's a chance?" Cui Qian glanced at him and asked with a sneer.

"Jianzhong, do you remember the time when you single-handedly entered the pirate den of Giant Turtle Island?" Cui Wu said lightly: "At that time, who believed that you could come out alive? Who can believe that you will become the king of pirates in the South Seas? ”

Cui Qian was stunned, and the long-sealed memory was inadvertently uncovered by Cui Wu. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, his father Cui Yu was killed by an arrow in a fire with the pirates of Giant Turtle Island, and his subordinate pirates were frightened and fell apart. But he did not hesitate, with the spirit of tens of millions of people to go to the Giant Turtle Island, a bloody battle, he was stunned to kill the pirate leader of the Giant Turtle Island with the strength of one person, killed more than 80 pirates, subdued more than 30 people, and those more than 30 people are now mostly his irons.

The situation at that time was so similar to Sun Shao in front of him.

"If he really has this ability, I, Cui Qian, will only obey his orders in the future." The corners of Cui Qian's mouth were crooked, and he said quietly.

Su thick legs and thick eyebrows were tightly locked, looking at Sun Shao not far away for a while, and looking at Cui Qian on the other side for a while. Some were worried about Sun Shao, and some hesitated. He also had no hope for Sun Shao's siege, but he was not worried about Sun Shao's surname, he was more worried that if Sun Shao failed, he was afraid that the South China Sea, which had just been pacified, would be full of complications. And once Sun Shao has no strength, then these pirates from the East China Sea will not have a good end, and it will not be easy to travel thousands of miles and return to the East China Sea. It can be said that although he now has a strong ship and a cannon, only half of his subordinates can return to the East China Sea at most, not to mention anything else, where did he get the baggage?

His fate, when he accepted Sun Shao's ship, was tied up with Sun Shao.

So he was even more angry at Sun Shao's recklessness.

However, he also knew that if Sun Shao didn't gamble on this tone, he would be in a dilemma, and all previous successes could be wiped out with this failure.

"General, we can't just look at it." Wei Ping reminded: "Cui Qian wants to see the general's jokes, we can't do this." ”

"I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen." Su said sullenly: "I want to help, but he doesn't allow it, so he has to bear it alone." The words have been said, if I go to help again, I'm afraid it will make Cui Qian laugh, but it's not good. ”

"General, we don't have to go into battle ourselves." Wei Ping said softly: "As long as we put on a posture on the other side, we can attract some of the defenders and share their pressure." As long as we make a gesture, Cui Qian will not dare to remain indifferent, and he can also attract a part of the defenders, so that there will be much fewer enemies opposite General Fubo. ”

"So?" Su Thick Legs hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Let's do it, it can be regarded as a little bit of our mind." ”

Wei Ping received the order and hurriedly went to make arrangements. He ordered the carts to be pushed to the front of the battle, and the archers crouched behind the carts, ready to shoot, while the other foot soldiers followed behind, taking a posture of climbing the city and attacking it. Li Jing in the city didn't dare to take it lightly when he saw it, and immediately increased the defensive strength opposite Su's thick legs. Cui Qian saw that Su made a feint posture, hesitated, and didn't dare to say nothing, and led people to set up a formation in the west of the city, Li Jing also mobilized some people to defend in the west of the city, and only left a thousand people in the southern city where Sun Shao was preparing to attack, in his opinion, Sun Shao only had less than 2,000 people, and there were no siege equipment, so it was enough to defend with 1,000 people.

Half an hour later, Sun Shao returned to the front of the formation, he was wearing heavy armor, with a ring head sword at his waist, standing majestically in front of the three hundred warriors he had just selected. Shuai Zeng held his pocket, and Chen Hai held his three-stone bow, standing upright behind him.

Sun Shaochang took a breath and looked at the three hundred expressionless strong men in front of him with as firm eyes as possible, and when they all looked at him silently, he shouted: "Can anyone tell me what is the strongest cavalry in the world?" ”

Of the 300 strong men, more than 150 were the elites given to him by Guan Yu, more than 80 were warriors who followed Gan Ning to attack Cao Ying, and 70 were the latest soldiers he picked out. They are all veterans of the battlefield, although they feel that attacking the city with 300 men is a dead end, but for them, life and death have long been put aside, and their mood is not too turbulent. It's just that when I heard Sun Shao ask this sentence at this time, I was a little confused.

"Does no one know?" Sun Shao smiled, put his hands behind his back, and circled back and forth twice in front of the formation.

"General, the strongest cavalry in the world is the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry." A man in the formation shouted.

"Not bad." Sun Shao nodded, and continued to pace calmly, "The tiger and leopard cavalry is known as the world's famous cavalry, and it can indeed be called the strongest cavalry in the world, I heard that every warrior of the tiger and leopard cavalry is selected from the centurion, and each of them enjoys the treatment of a captain, which can be described as one in a hundred." So, who can tell me who is the strongest sailor in the world? ”

This time there was not much hesitation, and the three hundred people shouted almost in unison: "We! "The pride is palpable.

Sun Shao smiled and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "You are right, we are the strongest sailors in the world, this is beyond reproach, what Yizhou Sailors, Yangtze River Sailors, and Qingxu Sailors are, in our eyes, they are just a dish." ”

"Hahaha......" The three hundred men burst into laughter.

"That'...... Who is the toughest foot soldier in the world? ”

The crowd was silent, and after a while, a voice said, "It's the trap camp back then." ”

"That's not right." Someone immediately retorted: "It's our Guan family's sword and shield hand." ”

"And-" Before the words fell, another person retorted loudly, "It should be our personal guard battalion of General Zhichong." ”

"I don't think it's right, it's the Hushi Battalion under Cao Ying Huhou."

"What kind of tiger battalion, it didn't meet us, otherwise he would have beaten him."

Sun Shao raised his hands and signaled everyone who had seen it to be quiet, and the people who were arguing immediately quieted down, looking at him with burning eyes, hoping that his answer could become Sun Shao's final answer: "Yes, the trapping camp, the Guan family's sword and shield hand, and the personal guard battalion of General Zhichong are all strong foot soldiers, in addition, there should be Zhang Liao's eight hundred parts, but these people are not the strongest foot soldiers." ”

"And who is that?" A thug shouted.

"Do you know why I only picked three hundred?" Sun Shao shouted.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. Sun Shao now has 2,000 people to call on, according to the general people's opinion, the current army is already insufficient, and it may not be possible to win by betting all 2,000 people, and it is undoubtedly irrational to choose only 300 people to attack the city. I didn't understand Sun Shao's insistence on picking only 300 people, but now when I heard Sun Shao mention this issue, I pricked up my ears to listen and see what Sun Shao's purpose was.

"In the far west, there was a small country called Sparta, and a super powerful country called Persia, which had an army of millions and could almost dominate the world. However, Sparta sent only 300 warriors to break the million-strong Persian army at a place called Thermopylae. Gentlemen, is such a pawn the most powerful pawn in the world? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and there was no one who didn't think it was a lie, three hundred people defeated a million army? It's a myth, right?

Sun Shao looked at them with a smile: "I know, you can't believe that this is the truth, but I can tell you clearly that this is the truth." When this battle is over, I will sail westward, and when the time comes, I will take you to the hot springs to see and hear about their heroic deeds. But......" he suddenly shouted, and his face, which was as gentle as a spring breeze just now, suddenly became extremely hideous: "Today, we are going to turn those three hundred people into the past, we want everyone to see, we are the strongest foot soldiers in the world, among you are the sword and shield hand of the family, there is the personal guard battalion of General Zhichong, and the strongest sailor in the world, but from now on, you are not the sword and shield hand of the Guan family, not the personal guard battalion of General Jie Chong, nor the water division, but me, the sharpest war knife in the hands of General Sun Shao of Fubo, You have to start your journey to fame in this small city of Western Scrolls, you have to make the warriors of the Tiger Battalion, the Trap Camp, and Sparta bow down, you have to become a nightmare for any enemy, you have to become the strongest foot soldiers in the world. Do you have faith? ”

A series of angry roars frightened everyone, and after a short silence, Ding Feng was the first to draw his sword and shout: "Swear to follow the general to the death." ”

"Follow the general—" The three hundred roared in unison.

"Defeat the West Roll City and be the strongest foot soldier in the world." Chen Hai raised his knife and roared.

"Defeat the West Roll City and be the strongest foot soldier in the world." Three hundred people roared in unison with red eyes.

Sun Shao was very satisfied, and with a wave of his hand, Zhao Sleeve pushed out one hundred and ten barbarian soldiers of the Linyi Kingdom who had just been captured a few days ago, and lined up under the city. When Li Jing saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered, these people were all from Lin Yi Kingdom, how did they fall into the hands of Sun Shao? Could it be that Ou Chu was broken by Sun Shao?

"Listen to the soldiers in the city, this is the rebels of Xianglin County, they are arrogant, they established the country without authorization, and colluded with Li Jing, and a few days ago they washed more than a dozen villages near Lurong in blood, no matter the old and young, women and children, none of them were spared, and now they are broken by General Fubo and brought to Xijuan to comfort your innocent and tragic fathers and villagers, and also let you recognize the true face of Li Jing."

Some of the soldiers in the city were Lu Rong people, who knew that the barbarians of the Linyi Kingdom often invaded, and they did not doubt these words, and when they heard that their hometown was bloodied by the barbarians of the Linyi Kingdom in collusion with Li Jing, they immediately cried and fell to the ground. Li Jing was shocked and immediately sent someone to isolate these people to prevent them from causing chaos. As soon as he made such an arrangement, he invisibly confirmed Sun Shao's accusations, and even those soldiers who had nothing to do with Lu Rong were a little dissatisfied.

Zhao Sleeve continued to say loudly: "General Fubo is edicted to punish the crime, only the head of the evil, not the rest, as long as the coercion lays down his arms, he can be saved from slaughter, dare to have obsessed and unenlightened, like these rebels, there is no forgiveness!" After speaking, he waved his hand and slowly retreated into the formation. More than 100 of the 300 people behind Sun Shao walked out, rushed to the back of the prisoner who knelt on the ground, and his hand raised his sword, and more than 100 heads suddenly rolled down in front of the formation, and blood gushed out, dyeing the city into a burst of blood red, shocking.

Sun Shao took the shackle in Shuai Zeng's hand and put it on his head, calmly fastened the strap under his chin, looked at Li Jing, whose face was a little distorted by the guards in the middle of the city, sneered, took the bow in Chen Hai's hand, drew the bow and arrows, crossed the distance of one hundred and twenty steps with a fierce gaze, stared at Li Jing's face, and let go of the arrow.

Li Jing shuddered violently, subconsciously stepped back, and screamed, "Guard—"

The long arrow whistled and shot into the chest of a guard who was in front of Li Jing, and the sharp arrow shot through his leather armor, through his body, and then from behind him. The guard screamed, took two steps back, and fell on his back.

Sun Shao started to run, he kept drawing his bow and arrows while running, and in just a hundred steps, he shot eight arrows, each arrow was aimed at Li Jing, not giving Li Jing a chance to breathe at all, so that he could only keep retreating, and keep letting the guards step forward to block the arrows.

Ding Feng took dozens of strong men, pushed a few baggage carts to rush over, roared, overturned the baggage cart under the city, and the people behind followed the pile of the baggage trucks, a few cars in a pile, and piled up a slope under the city, followed by a few soldiers carrying the door panels on both sides and rushed over, threw on the slope, and made a simple climbing slope.

"Arrows-" Li Jing was enraged by Sun Shao's arrogance, and wanted to conquer Xijuan City with such a simple slope? Are you papier-mâché when I am in the West Roll City? He ordered the archers to shoot arrows, and to stop Sun Shao with a dense rain of arrows. Sun Shao and the others were all wearing heavy armor, even the shield was exempted, in the face of the long arrows shot from the West Roll City, he turned a blind eye, while running, while pulling the bow and releasing the arrows, the bowstring sounded, even hit several people, and he himself was quickly shot into a hedgehog, but the arrows were sandwiched between the armor leaves, although occasionally shot through two layers of armor leaves, but failed to cause him fatal injuries. The slight pain not only did not stop him, but only provoked him to kill even more fiercely.

In the stunned gaze of the two armies, Sun Shaofei rushed onto the city wall, only three steps away from the city wall, he released the bowstring, shot the last long arrow, the long arrow instantly flew over the distance of three steps, shooting a defender who raised a spear to stab, followed by, he took advantage of the defender to throw a spear to cover his neck, a gap in the dense defense, leaning in, the iron bow in his hand swept, smashed on the neck of a defender, "pop" a muffled sound, the defender was beaten by him sideways, Bumped into the companions around him and made his footing unstable.

In a moment, Sun Shaohe crashed into the defenders, with an iron bow in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, slashing left and right, like a tiger entering a wolf pack, invincible. The defenders huddled together faced his ferocious attack, and although they rushed up one after another, they were all knocked to the ground by him without exception. A tent of blood splattered, and soon Sun Shao was sprayed into a bloody man, but he didn't care about wiping it at all, but he just danced the war knife and iron knife in his hand to the wind, and guarded a small place at the head of the city, like a boulder in the sea, let you storm the waves, I will not move like a mountain.

The long-lost violence filled his whole body, and the usual hippie smile turned into fierceness. Although his face was hidden behind the mask, his fierce gaze frightened everyone who saw him, and every shout he shouted was a soul chasing order, which would take away a life, and the defenders huddled together in front of him were like a group of trembling sheep, although there were many people, they were completely suppressed by his momentum, and they were just mechanical stabbing weapons in their hands.

"Kill!" Sun Shao broke off, the bowstring of the iron bow was cut by a war knife, the back of the recurved bow suddenly collapsed, and it was slammed on the head of a black and thin defender, making him dizzy and turned around, and in a blink of an eye, the long knife roared, cutting off his head with a knife, and the gushing blood rushed his head up in the air, spraying the companions next to him all over their faces. Sun Shao threw his bow away, snatched the war knife in his hand, and slashed down, splitting a defender who was staring at the air rolling in the air into two pieces.

In just a few breaths, seven or eight corpses fell in front of Sun Shao.

Chen Hai and Shuai Zeng rushed to the city wall, they both danced with double swords, tightly guarding Sun Shao's back, and shouted in unison: "General, we are here." ”

"Kill and cover the brothers' arrival in the city." Sun Shao, who had already fallen into a bloodthirsty rage, took two steps forward, raised his knife in his hand, and slashed two more people. With a swing of the long knife in his left hand, he pulled out a spear, and the long knife in his right hand came with lightning and slashed the spearman, followed by the body collision, knocking the spearman upside down and flying.

"Kill!" A halberd hand shouted violently, and the long halberd was like electricity, piercing Sun Shao's chest. Sun Shao didn't parry, his body hit forward, and he met the sharp halberd tip. The halberd pierced the first layer of iron armor, and then pierced the second layer of iron armor, but Sun Shao was not afraid, and rushed forward indomitably, the halberd hand was dumbfounded, unable to withstand his strong strength, but was squeezed by him to gain an unstable foothold, and staggered backwards.

Sun Shaoyuan opened his eyes, and at the same time pushed the halberd back with brute force, the two long knives in his hands flew left and right, killing the defenders who came up one by one, and the last knife was slashed on the halberd handle, the halberd hand only felt a strong coming, his hands were numb, and he suddenly lost consciousness, and he could no longer hold the halberd, Sun Shao squeezed the halberd, stepped forward, the long knife flashed, and slashed at his neck.

Behind him, there were bloodstains all the way, five or six corpses.

The defenders were so frightened by Sun Shao's bravery that they were so frightened that although the weapons in their hands were pointed at Sun Shao, who was covered in blood, their legs trembled involuntarily, and no one dared to move forward. They clearly saw a companion stabbing the iron halberd into Sun Shao's chest, but Sun Shao was safe and sound, and the companion was killed by Sun Shao in one fell swoop, this scene greatly surprised them, could Sun Shao not be killed?
