When Gu Qin heard Xiao Ruxun say this, he couldn't help but sink his face and threatened:

"General Xiao, as the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome. My prince has a wide range of soldiers, and his soldiers are everywhere, invincible. Now that Zhongwei and Lingzhou cities have been captured by Prince Bi, with your small Pingyu City, can you still stop Prince Bi's army? It is better to surrender as soon as possible, and save yourself from the trouble of fire. ”

Xiao Ruxun was furious: "What are you, you dare to gossip in front of me." Come, take my bow! ”

"Gu Xiaoqi run, Xiao Shen will be like a god in archery!" Several soldiers who were following Gu Qin heard Xiao Ruxun's roar on the city wall, and hurriedly turned their horses and ran, even if they had a little conscience, they greeted Gu Qin while running.

"I don't believe in any arrows like gods...... Ah! Before Gu Qin could finish speaking, a white shadow flashed in front of him, and a feathered arrow was accurately nailed to his throat, and he planted himself from his horse to the ground with a grunt.

Xiao Ruxun shot Gu Qin with an arrow, and he was still unsatisfied, he raised his bow and released arrows at several other rebels who were rushing away one by one, although those people ran one step ahead, but they could not escape Xiao Ruxun's fast arrows, seven or eight rebels fell off their horses one by one, and only two people were left with injuries and ran out of the effective killing range of the bow and arrow, which was considered to have saved a life.

"Brother Xiao, what a magic arrow!" Su Hao, who was standing on the top of the city wall with Xiao Ruxun, couldn't help but applaud as he watched Xiao Ruxun lift his weight and shoot off his horse one by one the rebel soldiers who were galloping wildly on horseback.

Xiao Ruxun threw the bow back to his own soldiers, and said with a disdainful smile: "A few little minions dared to run to persuade Xiao to surrender, they really ate the heart of a bear and swallowed the gall of a leopard." Don't talk about a little Biyun, even if Bi Bai personally led the troops, what was Xiao afraid of him! ”

"There is Brother Xiao's magic arrow. The little brother is relieved, there are not many soldiers under Bibai, but I am afraid that Brother Xiao can make Pingyu City solid with a pot of arrows alone, right? Su Hao smiled and complimented, in fact. He wondered if it was necessary for his reconnaissance battalion to participate in the defense of the city. If the soldiers in Pingyu City were like Xiao Ruxun, even if there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it would not be enough to fill the trenches under the city.

Xiao Ruxuan smiled, and said: "Change, I shot the messenger sent by Biyun to persuade him to surrender, and Biyun is estimated to attack the city in a big way next." We've got to get ready. ”

"It's really annoying to me!"

Biyun saw the two soldiers who had fled back, and listened to Xiao Ruxun's reply after they finished speaking, and he was so angry that his mouth was crooked. The general rule of war is not to cut it, Xiao Ruxun is so difficult to a few small soldiers who spread the word, it is obvious that he wants to completely tear his face with Bibai and do not make any compromises.

"Hello Counselor. If Xiao Ruxun doesn't surrender, do we really want to attack the city? Ma Zhengguo, the general manager of Biyun's subordinates, asked.

Biyun said: "Of course you want to attack, didn't you listen to what my father-in-law said, to pacify the whole town of Ningxia before the arrival of the imperial army." Now my eldest brother and Tu Wenxiu are going south to Zhongwei and Lingzhou forts, and it is up to me to pass the news that if I can't take this Pingyu City. What face will you see my father-in-law? ”

Ma Zhengguo said: "General Bi, with all due respect, you picked this North Road Pingyu City, but you picked the wrong one." Xiao Ruxun is the most brave and good at fighting among the generals of Ningxia Wei. He was very strict in his army, and it was difficult for his sergeants to fight. If you talk about the 48 forts in Ningxia Town, this Pingyu City is the most difficult to fight. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Biyun was stunned for a moment, he had also met Xiao Ruxun in the past, and knew that Xiao Ruxun had some skills. But he always thought that only his father-in-law Bibai was the strongest in Ningxia, and the other generals had some skills. Nor can it compete with the army of Bibai. When Bibai assigned the task, Biyun offered to lead his troops to fight the city, also to show his ability. Bi Bai knew that Xiao Ruxun was not easy to fight, and he specially allocated 2,000 people to Bi Yun for the most elite Cangtou army under his command, which is also the meaning of ambition.

"Now the whole territory of Ningxia has been decided. There is only one Pingyu City left, and I don't believe that he Xiao Ruxun is cast from steel and iron. Biyun said, "Someone, pass on my order, prepare siege equipment, and attack Pingyu City early tomorrow morning!" ”

In the early morning of the next day, the 5,000 rebels led by Biyun arrived outside the city of Pingyu, set up camp, and set up military flags. Looking from the head of Pingyu City, I saw a large area of the enemy's army, with swords shining and dusty.

"How many people are there?" Su Hao stood at the head of the city, holding a telescope to observe the enemy formation, muttering in his mouth.

"That's four or five thousand people." Xu Guangzu stood beside Su Hao and said in a disdainful tone.

"Veteran Xu don't underestimate the enemy, what Biyun brought is Bibai's descendants, as well as the private soldiers he raised, the Cangtou Army, these soldiers are very capable of fighting in the entire Ningxia Wei." Xiao Ruxun said.

Su Hao asked, "Brother Xiao, are you saying that these soldiers are better than your subordinates?" ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded and said, "It's not that I raise the prestige of thieves and destroy my ambition." My battalion of soldiers and horses is well-trained, and it is good in my Ming army, but compared with the soldiers of Bibai, I still think that I am inferior. ”

"Oh, if you can get a compliment from Brother Xiao, you can die without regrets, right?" Su Hao said with a smile.

Xiao Ruxun was amused by Su Hao: "Change, now that there are many thieves, it's hard to say who wins and who loses, you said this too early." ”

Chen Dao also held the binoculars and looked at it for a long time, and said: "General Xiao, in our Pingyu City, the sergeants of the Pingyu Station, plus the soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion, are almost 5,000 people in total. Bibai only sent 5,000 people to attack the city, isn't it too much? The two sides are one-on-one troops, and I can't hold it with a strong city? ”

Xiao Ruxun said: "According to Xiao's conjecture, Bibai did not count the more than 2,000 horses that were changed, but only counted the strength of my Pingyu. To say something that made a few people unhappy, our Ningxia border army has always been arrogant and has never taken the inland soldiers seriously. The more than 2,000 people brought by the change, it is estimated that Bibai didn't pay attention to it at all. ”

Su Hao said: "Then you deserve it, the price of underestimating Su is that he will die without a place to be buried." ”

As he spoke, Biyun had already given the order to start the siege, and the war drums sounded, and the sound was terrifying. The rebels divided into several brigades and slowly approached the city of Pingyu. There were still a hundred steps away from the city wall, and Su Hao and the others standing on the top of the city wall could already feel that awe-inspiring murderous aura.

"Don't panic, wait for the thief to get close before releasing the arrow!" Xiao Ruxun stood at the head of the wall, commanding. The sergeants of the Pingshou shelter hid behind the arrow stacks, looking at the enemy soldiers under the city through the arrows, and there was no panic on their faces.

Located at the northernmost point of the Ningxia Guard, the Pingyu was the first to bear the brunt of every Tatar attack, and the soldiers were no strangers to this kind of battle to defend the city. The only difference is that the enemy under the city was still his own robe a few days ago, but now the two sides are fighting to the death.

In contrast, the soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion, who also went up to the city, were not so calm, some of them showed a look of fear on their faces, and some of them were not afraid, but they were also a little impatient, and at a glance they knew that they were recruits who had not been on the battlefield.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the enemy had entered the effective firing range, Xiao Ruxun gave a loud order.

The sergeants of the Pingyu Institute stood up in unison, drew their bows and arrows. For a while, arrows rained down and flew towards the rebels under the city.

"Plop puff!"

Despite the shields, a considerable number of arrows hit the rebel soldiers, and from time to time some of the ranks fell to the ground screaming, blood staining the loess beneath the city.

The archers of the rebels also began to return fire, and a large number of feathered arrows flew towards the city, suppressing the soldiers in the city, and the soldiers of the Pingju Station also suffered casualties. Taking advantage of this, the charging rebels quickened their pace, ran to the city wall, set up ladders, and began to climb the city.

The soldiers at the head of the city abandoned their bows and arrows, picked up large stones that had been prepared, and threw them downward. With every stone that fell, a rebel soldier fell from the ladder with his head broken and bleeding, but the soldiers behind continued to climb upwards one after another, intending to reach the top of the city, as if they did not know that there was danger ahead.

After all, Pingyu City is just a small military fort, and the city wall is only more than a zhang high, and if ordinary people climb faster, it only takes a few seconds to climb up. On the city wall, the number of defenders that can be accommodated in a battlement is very limited, and three or four people defending at the same time seem to be a bit of a constraint on each other. The rebels erected dozens of ladders at the same time and constantly shot at the defending soldiers on the walls with bows and arrows. In just a few moments, several battlements had been lost, and rebel soldiers poured up from the battlements one after another.

"Go on, drive the thieves out of the city!" Xiao Ruxun waved the big knife, took the lead, and rushed to a place where there was danger. Fierce battles between the enemy and us began on the city walls, with swords and swords, flesh and blood flying, and shouts, screams, and moans.

While the soldiers of the Pingyu Camp were bravely defending the city, Su Hao, Xu Guangzu, Chen Dao and others had been watching the battle, and the 400 soldiers of the Survey Battalion were holding flintlock pistols in their hands, ready to listen to orders and join the battle group.

"Uncle Xu, it's time for us to go, right?" Su Hao looked at the danger on the city wall, pinched a handful of sweat in his hands, and kept asking Xu Guangzu for instructions. Before the war, they had an agreement that the timing of the reconnaissance battalion's participation in the war should be determined by Xu Guangzu or Xiao Ruxun, because Su Hao still had no actual combat experience after all, and blind command would be a big mistake.

Xu Guangzu's eyes kept observing everything on the city wall, and when he heard Su Hao's words, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, General Xiao can still stabilize the situation, and it's not time to use us." ”

"However, we have firearms in our hands, and if we go up, we will be able to push the rebels back from the city walls in one turn, and we will not have to fight bloody battles with the brothers in the Pingfu." Su Hao said, watching the men fall in a pool of blood, he only felt heartache.

Xu Guangzu still shook his head and said: "This is the beginning, if our strength is exposed at this time, there will be more people who are only afraid of death in the future." How can there be immortals in war, don't be impatient, there will definitely be a chance for us to show our magic later. ”
