Osan said something that sparked Xie Shence's interest.

"Oh?" Xie Shence's eyes narrowed.

"Is there finally another strife? So, what you have been instructed to do is done? ”

Osan said with a smile: "Lord Admiral's clever plan, we just can't hold out, they are in chaos, and now they are already arguing because of the issue of retreating from the army or fighting again." As for the things that the adults have explained, the lowly rank has also been done, and they must have found out at this time. ”

"Hmm. That's what you want, bandits, who doesn't want to get rid of slavery? Who doesn't want to be promoted to become rich and glorify their ancestors? As long as there is this idea, it is not difficult to mess them up. As long as they mess up, we will have a good profit. ”

"Lord Admiral is wise!"

"Hehehehe, pass my order to the four generals, the soldiers on duty in turn, and each of them have a bowl of spirits to warm up."

"Your Excellency is merciful."

That night, Xie Shence lit a candle in his room, and recalculated the plan he had made with Zhou Jinmian on the rough map of the entire Shanxi Road, and only fell asleep after making sure that it was correct.

Xie Shence slept soundly and comfortably.

But the bandits thirty miles away were very bad and uncomfortable.

The exhausted Yan Jiegang sat on the first place, watched the knife and axe hand push several leaders out, and after hearing the screams, he cheered up and looked at the few people in front of him, ww+w, and said: "This battle is only allowed to win and not lose, it has long been a sure thing." I also hope that your brothers will restrain your brothers, calm down, and only wait for the city to attack, and then attack the city in one go. At that time, I promise you brothers that I will not seal the sword for three days! All the wealth goes to the individual! However, before that, I hope you can work together to get through the difficulties together. ”

All the leaders nodded in agreement, and even the most noisy leader just now had no objections at this time. Why are there no objections? Without him, several early birds have been pushed out and cut down by Yan Jiegang as a crime of disturbing the morale of the army.

Then everyone began to discuss the next move.

Attacking Jincheng, unless Nei Ying can take the opportunity to open the city gate, otherwise there is no large-scale siege equipment, and it is impossible to succeed. Of course, if there is a trebuchet or something, just build a mountain of earth and bombard the city wall. But the bandits didn't.

Just when everyone was thinking hard, and a group of people, including the military god Yin Zhonghe, the military marshal Huan Shi, and Xiao Wu Qiwenshan, were at a loss, a soldier hurriedly ran in.

It was still raining outside, but the bandits still retreated to a small town thirty miles away from Jincheng and camped temporarily. At this time, the Chinese army's big tent was set up in an ancestral hall.

When the soldier ran in, his body was already soaked, if it was in the past, if Yan Jiegang saw this scene of his subordinates, he would have to take off his robe and put it on for the soldier, but at this time, the siege has been long, there is no inch, and his subordinates are unstable, he is also very anxious, but he did not ask for warmth.

Yan Jiegang pressed the armrests of the seat with both hands, leaned forward and asked, "What's the military situation?" Hurry up! ”

The soldier knelt down and said, "The men of the leader of the bull have been assassinated. ”

Yan Jiegang slapped the handrail and said angrily: "The military camp is heavy!" How could there be an enemy killer who assassinated the soldiers of our army, what did the patrol guards do! What the hell is going on? You make it clear! ”

As soon as the soldier was about to speak, the roar of the bull came from outside the ancestral hall: "I want to see Brother Gongming!" Let me go in Brother Gongming! Brother Gongming! I'm looking for you to theorize! I'm looking for your theory! Brother Komeito"

Yan Jiegang closed his eyes angrily, and then waved his hand, signaling the soldiers outside the door to let Hengniu in.

As soon as Heng Niu came in, he shouted to Yan Jiegang: "Brother Gongming is the master of Heng Niu!" ”

Yan Jiegang scolded: "Bastard thing! This is the Chinese military tent, you can break if you want to, do you still have military discipline in your eyes? Are you really going to be able to cure you?! ”

Heng Niu shouted that he was wronged, knelt down and kowtowed: "Brother Gongming, my adjutant was cut off by someone!" Just after dinner, I was cut off in the blink of an eye! ”

"Who's the murderer?"

Heng Niu said loudly: "The murderer is Yin Shuai's subordinate!" ”

"What?"

"Impossible!"

Yin Zhonghe and Yan Jiekun both got involved in the case.

Yin Zhonghe clasped his fists and said, "Brother Gongming, how is this possible!" How could my men kill Brother Hengniu's men? Even if there is a small contradiction, it won't stop there! Brother Gongming, there must be a misunderstanding! As long as you bring the younger brother's subordinates, you will know as soon as you ask. I hope that Brother Gongming will see clearly! ”

Yin Zhonghe said it reasonably and sincerely, and for a while, all the leaders in the field interceded one after another, saying that there must be a misunderstanding.

When Heng Niu saw it, he snorted coldly and said, "Brother Gongming Mingjian! The murderer is Yin Shuai's subordinate, my adjutant and the murderer are fellow villagers, just because of the disagreement, Yin Shuai's subordinate pulled out a knife and killed people! As for the murderer, he has already escaped, and he still brought it there! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned: the words are incompatible, and there is life and death between fellow villagers? There must be something hidden in it!

Yan Jiekun frowned and asked, "What did you see with your own eyes?" What the hell is the reason, you have made it clear to me! ”

Heng Niu slammed his fist on the ground and yelled, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but someone saw it!" There are traitors in the army! That man was going to rebel against my brother, and my brother swore to die, so he beheaded him and used it as a vote! There are traitors in the army! ”

The roar of the bull startled everyone.

Is there a traitor in the army?

In just an instant, the pot exploded in the ancestral hall.

"Who's the mole!"

"How do I know, don't ask me!"

"Murder! It must have been the Tiqi who got in! ”

"Find the traitor and kill him to make an example!"

"I don't know who found it!"

"Why can't I find Shun Teng!"

Eh, follow the vine and touch the melon.

After this sentence was shouted, the entire ancestral hall quickly quieted down, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at a certain person in unison.

Surprised, surprised, stunned, afraid, and there is a hint of unclear, but very subtle meaning.

Yin Zhonghe's cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Without hesitation, at the moment when almost everyone's eyes met on him, Yin Zhonghe knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Brother Gongming! Brother never knows about this! Brother Gongming Mingjian! After speaking, Yin Zhonghe bowed to the ground and knelt down.

Yan Jiegang lost his mind for a moment, came back to his senses and hurriedly pulled up Yin Zhonghe, and said soothingly: "Why should Yin Shuai be like this!" Since this person fled after killing someone, he must have nothing to do with Yin Shuai. Yin Shuai has been in the cottage for more than ten years, who doesn't know Yin Shuai's high righteousness? It must be the villain's divisive plan, wanting my brother to be centrifuged and mess up! ”

patted Yin Zhonghe on the shoulder, Yan Jiegang took a step forward, glanced at the people in the hall, and said gloomily: "No one should mention this matter, if you leak the slightest rumor, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood, and the military law will deal with it!" ”

The leaders bowed their heads and bowed their hands in agreement.

Only Heng Niu still muttered to himself: "That, that's mine, Brother Gongming, then the death of my adjutant, that's it"

"Bastard! Is this the enemy's discord and can't see it? It was Ti Qi who did it! The person under Yin Shuai must have been poisoned a long time ago! You have to ask for justice, and you have to go back and ask for it on the battlefield! ”

Yan Jiegang scolded Hengniu, and everyone bowed their heads for a while, not looking at the angry Yan Jiegang and the Hengniu who was still kneeling.

Yan Jiegang scolded, slowed down his tone, and said gently: "Brothers, go back and rest, this rain is estimated to stop soon, and I hope that the brothers will work hard to take Jincheng!" ”

And they were all gone.

Yan Jiegang returned to a small courtyard of his own, and soon after, Yin Zhonghe, Huan Shi, Wen Shan and Heng Niu and other four people came, and Heng Niu looked at Yin Zhonghe with a rather unkind gaze. Yin Zhonghe could only smile bitterly at this.

Whether his subordinates were spies or not, whether they killed or not, whether they were killed or not, he himself did not know, and he would not listen to him if he wanted to explain. What's more, the same thing happened just now.

The faces of Huan Shi and Wen Shan were not good.

Yan Jiegang noticed something unusual, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Heng Niu pointed at Yin Zhonghe angrily and roared: "Ask him!" ”

Yan Jiegang cast an inquiring glance at Yin Zhonghe.

Yin Zhonghe smiled bitterly and said, "Someone has died again." ”

Yan Jiegang frowned.

"The small leaders under Huan Shuai and General Wen also died, and while we were deliberating, someone saw that my people did it, and the two who killed people are now gone."

Yin Zhonghe said angrily: "These two, plus the previous one, are a total of three people, all of whom have been with me for more than two years, and they have all killed people, and everyone has killed officers and soldiers!" And because of his exploits, he will be promoted by me! Brother Gongming, if you want to say that they are traitors, they are the stakes installed by Tiqi, this, how is this possible? But if not, how can we explain it? ”

"And, I was in my room and found this." Yin Zhonghe took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Jiekun's hand.

Yan Jiegang took the letter, just looked at it twice, and then frowned.

"What a divisive plan! It's so vicious! Yan Jiegang read the letter, then crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the furnace.

"Who else knows about this letter?"

Yin Zhonghe said: "I don't know, but among my people, there is only one at present." ”

Huan Shi and Wen Shan also shook their heads and said, "There is no such letter in our room. ”

Yan Jiegang immediately said: "Yin Shuai, I want to control those people in your letter." ”

Yin Zhonghe lowered his head, then raised his head and said, "Brother Gongming, I will hand over those people." However, if those people are not, I hope that Brother Gongming can treat them well before the truth comes out. ”

Yan Jiegang nodded, and then said: "Tiqi must have the intention of dividing us from us when he does this, and it won't end like this." This time they just picked us to start, and next time, it won't be like this, some people, we have to keep a close watch, and we can't let them mess up. If there is any abnormal movement, you might as well make an example! Among our 20,000 people, there are also some who are not resolute in their minds, and they must also step up their care and cannot relax. ”

The military god Huan Shi said: "These people can be sent to the front line according to the original plan, the sky is about to clear, and the siege of the city is not far away." Since the beginning of the emergency construction of the simple building car can also be put into use, if the city should be in the hand, then Jincheng will be my cottage income! ”

Xiao Wu Qiwenshan said with some concern: "I'm a little worried. First of all, the situation of the soldiers is not optimistic, because of the rain for several days, the weather is a little cold, I counted, the battalions together fell ill a thousand! And that's not even slight. I inquired about the medication, and it wasn't enough. The morale of the army is a little sluggish. And the most important thing is that they have already harvested our grain in the autumn before, and we didn't collect much when we went down the mountain, and now the rest is only enough to eat for half a month. ”

Wen Shan's words silenced the four of them, even the wild Heng Niu knew that there was not enough food and grass, and even if victory was in sight, it was empty.

Yan Jiegang was silent for a while, and then said decisively: "According to the previous plan, all those who made a lot of trouble today will be sent to the front line to increase the intensity of the attack, and there is no harm in their death." In short, the premise of this battle is victory, and the most important thing is to consolidate the position of my Baiyan Village. ”

Huan Shi Wenshan Yin Zhong and the three of them all nodded, and even Heng Niu agreed.

It's all out of the sea of swords and fires, few people are really naïve, under the rude and arrogant appearance, the heart is not exclusive to those vicious calculations, but more often, it is just that it is used to solving problems with fists and axes.

"In addition." Yan Jiegang said: "Strengthen the vigilance to prevent the cavalry's people from assassinating again." As long as no more people are killed, and no one disappears for no reason, their plan to divide the world will inevitably fail! ”

On October 7th, the sky finally cleared.

So on the 10th of October, Yan Jiegang raised an army of 30,000 and attacked Jincheng again.

In the barracks, a number of officers were brought together.

"What are we doing here?"

"That's right, Yin Shuai has already gone to the battlefield, why did he pull us out? Lao Tzu wants to kill someone! ”

"You're all here?"

"yes, who knows why? My subordinates were temporarily transferred to Li Wu, but my mother's son was left behind. ”

"Mine too, damn it! I looked for Yin Shuai, but I didn't see anyone!"

“”

A group of people chatted endlessly, and outside the courtyard, there were heavily armed soldiers. These soldiers are all Yan Jiegang's henchmen and guards.

"Pan Wei, the lone traveler Miao Wang, and the Luohan Jiang three tongs listen to the order! Order you and the other three to lead the headquarters to attack the city! ”

Immediately three orders were issued, and the three horsemen separated from the Chinese army, and then led their men and horses to attack the city first.

A simple building cart was pushed out, although not as huge as the Jin army's building cart and covered with iron cowhide, but the thick wooden planks nailed on the surface were enough to ensure the safety of the soldiers inside.

Xie Shence stood on the city wall and watched the four building cars slowly approach the city wall.

Under the cover of the huge hull, the role of the bow and arrow is difficult to use, so the most powerful long-range attack weapon of this era comes in handy.

Ballista.

Also called. Bed crossbow or eight-ox crossbow. It is generally used on the besieging side, and the steel spear shot is nailed to the city wall for soldiers to climb. But when used on the side defending the city, it can exert its great power.

Ballistae are not allowed to shoot people, but they are enough to shoot building cars.

More than a dozen ballistae were placed on the city wall, hailing two large, two small and four building cars.

There were obviously skilled craftsmen among the bandits, and when building the building car, the area of the front of the building car was reduced as much as possible, and the sloped building car also minimized the damage rate when facing the threat of ballistas.

Each of the building cars was hit by several spears.

When General Wang found that the effect of the ballista was not obvious, he decisively replaced the original steel spear with an ordinary iron-headed short spear. Although the power has been reduced, the matching short spear that is also suitable for the same application can still cause damage when it reaches a certain level of density.

A ballista shot through the plank, and then nailed several soldiers behind it to the ground like strings of sugar gourds.

Some of the ballistas pierced the people in the building car directly, and flew out for a long distance before smashing into the team behind the road.

Some of the ballistas were fired at the pedestal, preventing the carts from moving forward, and if the bandits came out to troubleshoot, they would be taken care of by the archers on the city wall.

A building cart was about to approach the city wall when it was shot through the support by a powerful short spear, and after being greeted by three ballistas in succession, the building cart shook a few times, made a tooth-aching creak, and finally collapsed with a bang.

The soldiers hiding behind the building car were instantly exposed, and the archers in the back row of the city wall immediately stepped forward and rained down the city.

The bandits who did not react were suddenly killed and injured, and in the screams of their companions, the bandits who reacted raised their simple wooden shields in their hands, carried the ladder, and rushed towards the foot of the city wall.

Having approached the city wall, the planks on the carts were lowered and placed on the top of the city, and groups of soldiers rushed up along the bridge and with large shields.

The archers have been withdrawn, and they have been replaced by the elite soldiers of the government who are also broadsword and thick shields.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The shouts of the two sides rang out at this moment.

Xie Shence changed into a wide and thickened chopping horse of the heavy infantry, covered in armor, and greeted him with a team of black-armored guards and government soldiers.

The tower bridge erected by the first approaching building car was on this section of the city wall where Xie Shence was located.

Xie Shence could see at a glance that this was the elite of the bandits, belonging to one of the thirteen thousand people.

The shape of the thick shield and black turban couldn't help but make Xie Shence think of the hundred-battle team under Murong Cheng: Heifudu.

Carrying the shield on his left shoulder, Xie Shence pushed one person over with all his might, then stepped forward, stood the shield in front of him, bent down and stabbed through the person's body. When Xie Shence bent down, there were two or three big knives cut on Xie Shence's shield, and then a big man in front of him firmly put a foot on Xie Shence's shield, Xie Shence took a few steps back with his strength, and then reflexively pushed it up, and together with all the black armor guards, the bandits who rushed over blocked the surrounding of the tower bridge, preventing more people from rushing up.

At the same time, in the rear of Xie Shence, a soldier smashed a jar full of oil at the building car, and then fired rockets at the building car.

The blazing building car could not stop the attack of the bandits, and the small leaders below raised a shield in one hand to prevent the cold arrows on the city, and held a knife in the other, shouting and commanding, so that more thieves could go up to the tower bridge through the building car and try their best to squeeze towards the city wall.

In a short time, the three building cars had already set up the city wall, and more and more bandits poured up.

"Kill!"

Xie Shence slashed over a thief with a knife, then drew his knife, knocked off the chin of a bandit who was leaning over with the handle, retreated, and then exerted his strength with Ti Cai, holding the big shield and pushing it up again.

Da Li, Xiao Li, Lao Wang and Li Garrison all brought people, each performing their duties, and struggled to resist the attack of the bandits.

The two sides fought fiercely for two hours, and in the end, Xie Shence repelled the bandits.

At noon, when Xie Shence was gnawing on a piece of cowhide dough on this bag of water on the head of the city, General Secretary Yang came up and whispered a few words to Xie Shence.

After Xie Shence heard this, he laughed.
