The fierce battle at the head of Yingzhou City continued, but the fierceness of the battle was beyond Zheng Kui's expectations. Originally, Zheng Kui thought that the rest of his people would be able to survive until the afternoon, but the battle situation surprised everyone at the beginning.
"Kill!"
A soldier in his forties wearing a tattered red mandarin duck jacket at the head of the city stabbed a hungry man who had just climbed up to the city with a spear in his hand, and the hungry man who was stabbed in the chest screamed in pain, but he did not die immediately, but roared, his eyes suddenly turned red, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the spear in his chest, and then with a force of his left hand, he threw a spear in his hand forward, just slashing the face of the soldier on the head of the city, and the soldier also let out a scream, He was pulled down from the city by this hungry man.
This is not an isolated case, but is happening in many places at the same time. Zheng Kui didn't understand why these hungry people were working so hard early this morning as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, weren't they afraid of death? In fact, these hungry people were stimulated by Sun Kewang's promise that they could be captive for three days after capturing Yingzhou City, and in the eyes of those hungry people, Yingzhou City is already as fragile as a girl who has been stripped of her coat, as long as she works harder, she can do whatever she wants.
"My lord, these thieves are crazy, they have no rules at all, they are completely exchanging our lives for one life!" After a while, Lin Yuanteng, Wang Shoucheng, and Li Yuan, who were covered in blood, trotted all the way to Zheng Kui's side and complained loudly.
"Yes, my lord, if we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on." Li Yuan also said in a mournful voice.
Zheng Kuiqiang endured the fear in his heart and said in a trembling voice: "If you can't keep it, you can't keep it, at most, the official will die here, and it can be regarded as loyal to the country." ”
"Alas......"
Looking at the more and more hungry people appearing on the city wall, everyone, including Wang Shoucheng, showed a desperate look in their eyes.
Wang Shoucheng muttered to himself, "Are we really going to die at the hands of this group of chaotic people today? ”
Contrary to the mood of the people in Chengtou Mountain, Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Kewang and others under the city were elated.
Looking at the more and more hungry people in the city, Zhang Xianzhong was so excited that he danced with his hands, and he said to Li Dingguo beside him: "Hahaha, this kid Sun Lao Er really has a hand, this is only a little bigger, Yingzhou City is about to be captured, and now our men and horses can be expanded several times!" ”
Li Dingguo didn't speak, just smiled slightly and agreed. Zhang Xianzhong was happy, as for the corpses of the hungry people who were piled up under the city wall, he didn't take a second look at them at all, in his opinion, the biggest role of these hungry people is to help him capture one city after another, so that he can obtain more wealth, food and women, as for the people, it's not easy to say, the Ming Dynasty lacks anything is not confirmed, as long as a few cities are captured to rob the food and everything of those people, they can only follow him honestly if they have nothing, so that tens of thousands of troops will have again, As for how many people will be ruined by doing this, Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates don't care. Isn't it said that in troubled times, life is as cheap as a dog, if you want to blame it, blame the court, who let him make Lao Tzu unable to live.
"Quick...... Attack, attack! ”
The form on the city wall is becoming more and more critical, and more and more hungry people are climbing the city, although the soldiers on the city wall are also desperately driving them down, but there are too many hungry people, and the troops on the city wall are getting fewer and fewer, and it is only a matter of time before the city wall is lost.
At this time, even the hungry people outside the city walls understood that the fall of the city was a nail in the coffin, and many of them cheered loudly at the thought that they would be able to eat a full meal after the city was breached.
Just as Zhang Xianzhong was happily preparing to admire the fall of the city, a high-pitched and shocking drum beat reached the ears of the warring parties.
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
"Hmm...... What a sound this is! ”
As soon as he heard the sound of drums, Zhang Xianzhong's heart subconsciously tightened, and he turned his head sharply and looked in the northwest direction where the sound came.
It's just that when his gaze passed, Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback and shouted: "That's ...... What is that? ”
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"
The drums in the distance still sounded in a calm rhythm, and in the southwest direction, a neat queue of troops took the lead in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes, and the armor on this team shone dazzlingly under the same light as the first rise.
"Eight kings, that team is the Ming army, and the Ming army is coming!" Looking at the team in front of him that was unhurriedly moving towards him, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate general Ai Nengqi had the best eyes among the generals, and he shouted first.
Zhang Xianzhong frowned and said, "How do you know?" ”
"Eight kings, I can see it clearly, you see, isn't that the sun and moon flag of the Ming dog?" Enchi pointed ahead and said loudly.
At this time, as the drums approached, the team slowly came to the rear of the rogues, and the rogues also appeared in this sudden team. After all, the rogues were a makeshift rabble, and they began to panic when they saw a team suddenly appear in the rear, and many of them turned around and aimed their weapons at the rear, and even were frightened, and the originally not very neat team became even more scattered, so anxious that many of the rogue's leaders began to wave the whip in their hands to whip them to maintain order.
Zhang Xianzhong took a closer look at the team in front of him, but suddenly laughed, pointed to the front and laughed: "Ah......h Lao Tzu thought it was something, it seemed to be quite spirited, but what was the use of only a few hundred people? Are you here to bring snacks to Lao Tzu? Hahaha......"
At this time, the generals behind Zhang Xianzhong also saw this team that suddenly appeared clearly, and they knew at a glance that this team was only a few hundred people at most, and such a small force could not pose much threat to their own side even if it was elite, so they breathed a sigh of relief. Ai Nengqi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Eight kings, you let me go, as long as you give me three thousand men and horses, I can eat this Ming dog!" ”
Zhang Xianzhong nodded with a cruel smile and said, "Well, good!" I'll give you 3,000 men, and you must eat them all." Lao Tzu loves the armor on them! ”
"Okay, just look at it!" Ainengqi got on his horse excitedly, counted more than 3,000 people, and rushed in the direction of the team.
At the same time, Yue Yang also commanded 500 soldiers to form a 1oo*5 phalanx, the first and second rows in front were pikemen, and the back three rows were sword and shield soldiers with long knives and shields, and Yue Yang walked with two drummers. Since the soldiers were all wearing Gothic plate armor, their whole bodies were covered in silver plate armor, which glittered in the sunlight, which could be described as full of appearance.
Looking at the rogues swarming in front of him, it would be false to say that Yue Yang was not nervous in his heart, after all, it was the first time he had experienced war when he was so big, and it was also a war in the era of cold weapons, and Yue Yang's heart rate at this time had already reached more than one hundred and twenty per minute. However, Yue Yang knew very well that as the commander of the whole army, he must not mess up, otherwise this team that had just formed an army would definitely disperse.
Looking at the Liukou who was getting closer and closer, Yue Yang raised his right hand, and the drummer next to him immediately stopped the drum beating when he saw this. And as soon as they heard that the drums stopped, the soldiers, who had already been reflexively beaten by strict training and wooden sticks in months of training, also quickly stopped!
Yue Yang pulled out the long knife at his waist, walked to the side of the team and shouted: "Brothers, today the thieves invaded my Yingzhou, killed my people, plundered my money and food, raped my sisters, wives and children, and waited for me to be a group training, and it is within my duty to protect the territory and the people." Now, all of you, listen to me. All guns raised! ”
"Protection! Protect! Protect! ”
The whole team shouted three times, and the pikemen in the front two rows took off the spears that were originally on their shoulders, holding the guns in both hands, and the tips of the guns were oblique in the air! They were quietly waiting for the rogue to come, and at this distance they could already see the somewhat deformed faces of the rogue who were rushing in front of them......
