Chapter 253: Xu Xianchun's Determination
didn't let Xu Xianchun wait too long, and the traitors under the city quickly got ready again and set up a formation in the distance. At the front was a row of shields, not professional shields, of course, wooden tables, wooden boards, everything that could be resisted. Behind the shield soldiers, there was a platoon of siege soldiers, a dozen of them carrying long ladders. It's just that it's not the well-made ladder of the Ming army, it's the kind of long ladder made of wood, which is not only not strong but also very bulky.
Behind these two arms, Xu Xianchun saw the elite of this so-called rebel army, and those who entered the body were wearing armor, all of which were the standard armor of the Ming army. However, unlike these battalion soldiers behind Xu Xianchun, each battalion soldier has a complete set of Ming army armor on his body. But the traitors in the city were different, some wore chain mail, some wore helmets on their heads, and looked very funny.
Seeing the rebels who were preparing quite seriously below, Xu Xianchun otherwise had a kind of contempt, if the five hundred people in his city were elite, they would definitely be defeated. It's just that Xu Xianchun also understands that it's not bad that 300 of the 500 people in Liu's inspection can fight, so don't talk about any elite. The five hundred entries brought out by himself were left with more than 100 entries when they ran here, and they had seen their combat ability. Five hundred people were chased by less than a thousand rebels, those who were killed were killed, and those who ran fled fled, thinking about it made Xu Xianchun angry.
Trying hard to suppress the impulse in his heart, Xu Xianchun kept telling himself in his heart that he couldn't go out, and he couldn't come back if he went out. I still have a great future, I must not leave it here, impulse is the devil!
By the time Xu Xianchun calmed down, Inspector Liu, who had just gone to find him, had already returned, and behind him were more than 100 people entering, all wearing people's clothes, but each of them was holding a steel knife in his hand. Judging from the style of the knives, they are all sabers of the Ming army, and they should have been issued to them by Liu Xunjian. Seeing this scene, Xu Xianchun nodded slowly, it was unrealistic to find so many entries in such a short period of time. Now that he is here, he can only explain one thing, and these entries have been prepared by Liu Patrol Inspection for a long time.
Taking a deep look at Inspector Liu, Xu Xianchun smiled with satisfaction, no matter what Inspector Liu was doing to prepare for these entries, he hadn't told himself before. This shows that this Liu Patrol has his own plans, no matter what it is, as long as he has his own plans, he will have his mind. As long as he is thoughtful, Xu Xianchun thinks that he can only use it, and what does a fool do when he is promoted.
As for why Liu Patrol prepared these admissions, Xu Xianchun would not ask, his subordinates have the plans of his subordinates, as long as they are obedient, they will do things, and as for the rest, it is nothing. Xu Xianchun doesn't care so much about other loyalty, he won't sincerely believe in it, and naturally he won't believe that he will be truly loyal to himself. Since childhood, Xu Xianchun has firmly believed that only interests can bind them together, and they are the most reliable.
Nodding slowly, Xu Xianchun said in a deep voice: "Yes, let's go!" Let them all go up to the wall, and tell them that if they kill a traitor, they will be rewarded with a tael of silver. The reward for killing more than ten is doubled, and the more you kill, the more you will be rewarded. But whoever is in the city, one is counted as one, and after the battle, he will go to the official to receive the silver, and go home to buy a house and land, and marry a wife and buy a daughter. ”
At this time, Xu Xianchun naturally knew the importance of boosting morale, and the money had to be spent, which was nothing compared to his future and life. As long as you can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, it is worth spending more money on yourself, if you can't insist on the arrival of reinforcements, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to spend this money!
Soon Xu Xianchun's words spread all over the city, and suddenly there was thunder on the city wall, and everyone was ready to prepare. Those who have been killed in the past are in a hurry to put your head on their side, waiting for the battle to be over to receive the reward.
It seemed that everything was ready, Inspector Liu ran over quickly, came to Xu Xianchun's side out of breath, and said in a deep voice: "Da Jin, are you going down to rest?" It's good to leave it to the lowly here! ”
Looking at Inspector Liu, Xu Xianchun frowned and asked, "Inspector Liu, where is the silver in the city?" I want that kind of big box of silver. ”
"Back to Dajin, there is a lowly job here, it is this month's salary, and the lowly job has not yet been paid. But it's not much, and it can't be packed in a big box, but it's all ten taels of silver ingots. "Although I don't know what Xu Xianchun is going to do, I can't take care of it at this time, if I can't insist on the arrival of reinforcements, I won't have money to spend.
waved to Inspector Liu, and when Inspector Liu leaned over, Xu Xianchun whispered: "You let in a big box of silver, all of which are made of wood below, and silver ingots are placed on top, and you must let them in to look at it It is a box of silver ingots." ”
"Yes, let's do it!" With a salute to Xu Xianchun, Inspector Liu quickly left with a few henchmen.
After a short time, the gang returned, followed by a carriage with a large box on it. The commander found a high ground in the open space inside the city gate, set up tables, chairs and benches there, served good tea, and Xu Xianchun sat there steadily drinking tea. In front of Xu Xianchun was the big box, and he smiled and nodded to the circle of brocade guards gathered here, and then stepped forward and opened the box suddenly.
Suddenly, the silver light sparkled, and the silver ingots shone straight into the eyes in the sunlight. Walking to the edge of the box, Xu Xianchun picked up two silver ingots and said loudly to the city: "Kill a traitor, take home two gold ingots, twenty taels of silver." As long as the official persists until the reinforcements arrive, the official will be rewarded. ”
Seeing that the eyes of all the people on the city wall were shining, Xu Xianchun breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Liu Patrol has a good entry belt, and he has no intention of killing himself when he sees wealth. Xu Xianchun is also gambling, in short, at this time, life and death will be put aside, Xu Xianchun's show has not yet been completed, and there is already a shout of killing outside. But the goal has been achieved, so it's okay, if it's delayed, I'm afraid there will really be two hearts for joining the club.
The siege battle began again, in fact, such a battle was very monotonous, and the city was rushing upwards with all its might. Set up a ladder, climb up against the plank, drop one, and fill it up next. Until there is a rush up and can gain a foothold on the city wall, the besieging side will be considered victorious. The defenders of the city are doing their best to prevent such a thing from happening, as long as they can prevent them from climbing up, there is any way.
However, there are not many things to defend the city here, except for stones and boiling water, there is almost nothing else, but there is also a weapon of mass destruction of this era, and that is rolling wood. This kind of big wood with rope wrapped around both ends and iron nails wrapped on it, at least three or five hundred catties. In this kind of siege battle, the power should not be underestimated.
Although the power of this rolling log is not small, it is too little, and the whole city is only this one. This is still the last inspector who applied for it in the name of anti-Japanese robbers, otherwise I am afraid that there is no such thing.
The battle became more and more intense, one side attacked fiercely, the other side desperately defended, and the Ming army in the city had no casualties at the beginning. But after about an hour, from time to time rebels rushed up to the city, and I don't know why the rebels stormed it as if they were not dying. At this time, the Ming army began to suffer casualties, and from time to time they were carried down from above.
Seeing this scene, Xu Xianchun's heart continued to sink, if it continued like this, Xu Xianchun believed that it would not be long before this place would be occupied by the rebels. Frowning tightly, Xu Xianchun kept thinking of a way in his heart, why didn't the reinforcements come yet?
At this time, Liu Inspector, who was covered in blood, ran down, came to Xu Xianchun's side, and said with an urgent expression: "Dajin, it's really unbearable!" The traitors attack only on this side. Let's take a few of them with you! The lowly duty is the inspection here, and he should die here to be loyal to His Majesty. Dajin must keep a useful body, and in the future, he will play the emperor and show merit for us. ”
Looking at the bloody Liu Inspector, Xu Xianchun's eyebrows furrowed suddenly, he took out the embroidered spring knife from his waist, stretched out his hand to greet a few brocade guards, and said loudly: "A few of you go up to the city with me, and the rest will stay to watch the silver!" ”
Seeing that Xu Xianchun was going to go to the city, Inspector Liu hurriedly stopped Xu Xianchun, knelt on the ground and said: "Da Jin has the grace of knowing me, please leave Da Jin quickly!" I'll just stay here and defend it, there's no need for Dajin to do this. Dajin's useful body must be left behind, and after he dies in battle, he still needs Dajin to make a contribution to us, otherwise we may not even get a pension. ”
Inspector Liu knelt on the ground, and Xu Xianchun said in a deep voice: "I'm going to leave at this time, it's a beast!" You get up for me, if it's a man, you will kill it with me! If I die, the pension will be paid. As he spoke, he waved to the one behind him, and shouted loudly, "Follow me up!" ”
Xu Xianchun knew in his heart that if he left at this time, he would not have the face to see anything in life or death. But if you stay, you will be worthy of any entry regardless of life or death. He will leave a glorious mark in history and bring countless benefits to the family.
After rushing to the city wall bricks, Xu Xianchun found that it was really over, the city wall was full of traitors, and battles were everywhere. Swinging a knife and cutting down two in, Xu Xianchun also understands that he is now killing one to be enough, and stupid two to earn one.
Slashing left and right, moving to block and kill in the west, Xu Xianchun suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and he didn't look back at the knife. When he was about to kill the sneak attacker, Xu Xianchun looked down and saw a knife stuck in his waist, Xu Xianchun smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was really not the material for the war. I touched my own blood, it was warm, put it to my mouth and licked it, it turned out that my blood was also fishy, not sweet at all.
