Chapter Thirty-Nine: Only Fight to the Death!
"Lu Bu looks ruthless...... Li Ru looked out of the city and sighed, and suddenly heard someone calling and turned around.
"Sir...... Forehead? Li Ru looked at the group of ragged people behind Jiang Zhe with fierce eyes in disbelief.
"Xianzhang, what's the situation?" Jiang Zhe walked over and leaned on the city wall and looked into the distance.
"Lu Bu's army is still preparing, and the wells, ladders, and the like are constantly coming from the rear, so it seems that there will be a bloody battle today...... Sir, this ......" Li Ru gestured to the person behind Jiang Zhe and said in a low voice, "These are those death row prisoners?" ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Zhe nodded, turned to Li Dian and said, "Man Cheng, you go and get a batch of armor and swords......"
Li Dian's eyes widened, he looked at Jiang Zhe incredulously and said, "Sir, it won't be to give ......"
Jiang Zhe frowned, and said in a deep voice, "How can you go into battle to kill the enemy, how can you not have armor and weapons?" Just go! ”
“…… Be! Li Dian hesitated, but still called a Cao soldier and gave an order.
"Thank you, sir!" It seemed to be the leader of the death row prisoners, and when the man heard Jiang Zhe's words, he bowed down and thanked him, "Just send me a knife and a shot!" ”
"How can this be?" Jiang Zhe shook his head, turned to those death row inmates and smiled, "By the way, Zhe still doesn't know who your surnames are, I don't know ......."
"Sinner Yang Ding!" Without waiting for Jiang Zhe to finish speaking, the death row prisoner who had just spoken introduced them one by one, "Sima Hu, Zhou Shu, Meng Xu, Chen Kai, Ying Fei, I don't have a word, adults can just call our names, these people are not weak in martial arts, similar to me, and the rest are tired, for fear of polluting the ears of adults!" ”
"Hehe, it's a joke!" Jiang Zhe glanced at those death row prisoners, oh no, they were members of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, and said with a smile, "After today's battle, Zhehui will record them one by one, and then, you will be a member of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, and I hope to kill the enemy and protect the people of Xuchang!" Thank you here! ”
"Don't dare!" More than 800 people returned the salute with their fists.
"Sir." Li Dian walked up to Jiang Zhe and said, "The weapon armor has arrived...... It's all new armor hired by some merchants in the city, and it really needs to be ...... To give these people? Sir think twice......"
"Employing people without suspicion! Hair! Jiang Zhe said lightly.
“…… Be! Li Dian sighed, took the armor from Cao Bing's hand who carried the armor and weapons with some envy, walked up to Yang Ding, who was the leader, threw the armor to him and said coldly, "If you wait on the battlefield and let down Mr. and this armor, I will definitely kill you......"
Yang Ding took the armor with one hand, knocked it with his hand, knew that it was the best armor, and said lightly, "You can just watch quietly!" Then he bowed down to Jiang Zhe and said, "My lord's love, I will never forget it!" Only death will be rewarded! ”
"Thank you, sir!" Eight hundred death row inmates have turned into soldiers of the Tiger and Par Battalion, and they have received such excellent armor and weapons, how can they not be excited? Thinking of being in prison and not seeing the sky, Jiang Zhe's kindness to them is only comparable to their parents.
Yang Ding's face was full of relatives, stroking the dark and hard armor on his body, and shouted heavily, "Brothers of the Tiger and Par Battalion! Don't let down the kindness of your adults and wait for me in this armor! Fight to the death! If one person lags behind...... Don't blame my brother, I'm ruthless! ”
"Yes!" The eight hundred tiger and leopard battalions were all wearing armor and shouted in unison, "Tiger and leopard battalion! Camp Haw Par! Camp Haw Par! ”
Li Ru looked at all this lightly, extremely surprised in his heart, looked at Jiang Zhe suspiciously, and said secretly in his heart, "Mr. seems to have an inscrutable ability...... Dare to do what ordinary people dare not do, and use newly cast weapons and armor to subdue the hearts of these people, even if I have the heart and the courage...... Does the gentleman not know that the human heart is sinister, in case these people ...... Never mind! ”
Yang Ding raised his hand, and the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion behind him immediately stopped drinking, put their knives into their sheaths, and waited with a resolute and solemn face.
Li Dian couldn't help but compare these people with the soldiers under his command, but unfortunately the conclusion he came to made him very discouraged.
"Lu Bu is attacking the city!" Li Ru let out a low snort.
"Huh?" Jiang Zhe turned around abruptly and stared at the outside of the city, only to see Lu Bu personally leading several generals, with more than 10,000 infantry and countless military wells, and the cloud ladder slowly came towards Xuchang.
"Armies on alert!" Jiang Zhe shouted, then turned around and pointed to the rest of the well and the cloud ladder and said to the soldiers of the tiger and leopard battalion in front of him, "Can you destroy those wells for Zhe?" Jebi personally cheers you on! ”
Yang Ding smiled evilly, his eyes revealing a fierce light, "Why don't you dare, what the adults are referring to is where we will fight to the death!" ”
Behind Yang Ding, Sima Hu, Zhou Shu, Meng Xu, Chen Kai, and Ying Fei all nodded in agreement.
"Good!" Jiang Zhe saw that these people had a strong fighting spirit, and nodded secretly and said, "Except for the covenant of those ten people to be exempted from sin, if you still have merit, Zhe will reward you for your merits, and you will not be treated badly!" ”
Yang Ding's face was stunned, he looked at Jiang Zhe's sincere eyes, and said with great joy, "Brothers, have you ever heard the words of adults?" When a man becomes famous, he will say it today! ”
"Drink!"
"Jiang Shouyi!" There was an angry shout from Lu Bu in the distance, "I'm waiting for grievances, and now I'm here!" Lu Fengxian! I'm going to kill you today! ”
Jiang Zhe's face did not change, and he said coldly to Lu Bu, "Zhe is here!" ”
Good guts! Lu Bu couldn't help but think of when he was in Luoyang, this Jiang Zhe replied to himself like this, a weak scholar can have such courage, he really has to praise, just thinking of Xiu'er, Lu Bu's heart is on fire again, and he shouted angrily, "Hao Meng, Cao surname, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, where are the six generals?" ”
"The end will be here!"
Lu Bu pointed at Xuchang and said heavily, "Step through Xuchang!" Kill Jiang Zhe! ”
"Yes!" Hao Meng's six generals took the order and led his soldiers to rush to Xuchang.
"Li Xian, where is Li Dian," Jiang Zhe shouted.
"The last general (under the door) is here!" Li Dian and Li Ru snorted.
Jiang Zhe's face tensed, and he slowly spit out a word, "Fight!" ”
"Yes!" Li Dian and Li Ru received the order.
After sprinting a few steps, Li Dian shouted, "All archers are on alert, draw arrows!" ”
Li Ru took out a small flag, walked to Yang Ding's side and said, "General Yang, what a certain order flag refers to is the place where you are waiting to fight to the death, is it okay?" ”
Yang Ding glanced at Jiang Zhe, bowed down and said to Li Ru, "Don't dare!" All this gentleman has to do is give the order! ”
Li Ru nodded and said to Yang Ding, "Today is the battle." The enemy's wells are crucial, and please do your best! ”
"I will live up to Lord Jiang!"
Li Dian stared at Lu Bu's army outside the city, and seeing that it had rushed to the shooting range of Xuchang's archers, he raised the command flag and shouted, "A volley!" ”
The arrows in the sky shot like raindrops towards the Lu Bujun under the city, Hao Meng's eyes shrank, and he hurriedly shouted, "Raise the shield, raise the shield!" ”
The quality of the Bingzhou army was really outstanding, and they stopped squatting on the top shield at the first time, but the army of Guo Gong in Yuzhou was far behind, and it was a few points slower than the Bingzhou army, not to mention, and even some soldiers looked at the arrows coming from the sky in fear and were at a loss.
At this time, the well in Lu Bu's army finally arrived, and it was a round of fierce shooting at the city wall of Xuchang.
When Jiang Zhe saw it, he hurriedly shouted to the sword and shield soldiers on the city wall, "Abandon the sword and raise the shield to protect the archers!" ”
The sword and shield soldiers immediately threw away their swords and stood together in twos and threes, protecting the archers on the wall.
Suddenly, Li Dian saw Yang Ding draw his sword behind Jiang Zhe, and was about to step forward angrily, but he was surprised to see him jump on top of the wall, cutting down the arrows that were shooting at Jiang Zhe one after another, and secretly said in his heart, "This person is a little loyal......"
"Your Excellency!" Yang Ding said to Jiang Zhe urgently, "This place is dangerous, please don't risk your ......."
Li Ruyun beside him said, "Sir, you go to the city tower, and you will hand it over to the door!" ”
Jiang Zhe shook his head slightly, and said lightly, "Zhe often says that if he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government, but now, Meng De handed over all the affairs of Yanzhou to Zhe, and made me live in Xuchang, as the chief official of a city, and protect the people of a city...... Besides, the soldiers are fighting to the death, how can I be afraid? Needless to say! ”
"Your Excellency!" Yang Ding took a deep breath and said to Jiang Zhe with a fist, "That being the case, please also ask your lord to give an order to send me out of the city and destroy those wells!" ”
Jiang Zhe glanced at Li Ru, Li Ru nodded and said, "Lu Bu's main force is still here, if you want to destroy the well, it will be at this moment!" ”
"Good!" Jiang Zhe shouted, "The tiger and leopard battalion listen to the order!" When I went out of the city and destroyed those wells, Zhe asked the archers in the city to cover you and others, and he personally beat the drums and cheered for you! ”
"The last general commands!" Yang Ding answered the order, and when he got up, he wanted to say that he didn't need Jiang Zhe to personally beat the drum to cheer them on, as long as Jiang Zhe took care of himself, but looking at the resolute expression on Jiang Zhe's face, Yang Ding couldn't speak, hesitated for a moment and went down the city wall, and made up his mind to fight to the death! The only way to fight to the death is to repay the adults!
Lu Bu looked at the Xuchang City Gate from afar, saw that many cloud ladders had been erected, and said with a sneer, "Jiang Shouyi, I see what other plans you have this time?" ”
"Sir, be careful!" Li Ru saw that on the cloud ladder frame, many Lu Bu soldiers braved arrows and stones to grab the city wall, and hurriedly protected Jiang Zhe.
Jiang Zhe pulled out his sword and said to Li Ru, "Don't worry, Xianzhang, Zhe will protect you!" ”
"......" Li Ru opened his mouth, his heart was moved and funny, and suddenly saw a Lu Bu soldier on the wall, Li Ruqiang pulled out the sword at his waist, stepped forward in a few steps and stabbed it down the city wall, and then stabbed several Lu Bu soldiers who jumped into the city wall to the ground, although it was not as good as those generals, but it also made Jiang Zhe stunned.
"I ...... Am I not even as good as being revealed? Jiang Zhe muttered, he was hit by Xiu'er in martial arts, and he had no self-confidence, he originally wanted to pick a soft persimmon and pinch it, and try it with Li Ru, who knows......
Li Ru killed for a while, and the guards around him arrived, so he turned back to Jiang Zhe's side, and saw Jiang Zhe holding the sword and looking at him stupidly, so he said with a smile, "A gentleman has six arts, does Mr. see me as a useless scholar?" ”
Depend on! Jiang Zhe angrily inserted the sword into the scabbard and glared at Li Ru, which immediately made him inexplicable.
Li Dian saw Jiang Zhe early in the enemy's attack, and hurriedly ran over, and later saw that Jiang Zhe and the others had nothing to do, so he breathed a sigh of relief, hacked to death Lu Bujun, who had climbed the city wall, and shouted to the soldiers under his command, "Pour fire oil and burn the ladder!" ”
"Damn!" Lu Bu originally saw that his soldiers had already attacked the city wall, but in a blink of an eye, he even burned two cloud ladders, and he was a little angry and used Fang Tian's halberd to slap the horse's buttocks, and shouted, "Let Hao Meng and others attack me with all my might!" ”
The herald beside him rode his horse, Lu Bu calmed down the anger in his heart, and suddenly saw the gate of Xuchang slowly open, and a team of black-armored infantry rushed out......
"What does Jiang Zhe want to do?" Lu Bu, who was in doubt, suddenly changed his eyes, and his face was incredible......
