Chapter 53: Xu Daofu
The Chu people hurried to the head of the city, and the county government officials also rushed up in twos and threes, and saw a black head four or five miles outside the city, and the whole city was surrounded by groups, where are more than 10,000 people, at least 20,000 or 30,000!
In an instant, the already solemn mood of the people was a drastic change in complexion, and then looked at the city, although the soldiers were neatly armoured, their expressions were neat, their backs were straight, and a high-spirited fighting spirit was born, and the people who were temporarily requisitioned were also methodically guarding the city materials, such as sassal wood, rolling stones, fire oil and bundles of arrows to the city head, but two thousand defenders had to hold the city for ten miles, this was scattered, and the soldiers at the head of the city seemed sparse, and the enemy under the city was extremely disproportionate, which made people have no confidence at all!
Chu Yanzhi couldn't help but complain: "Father, what should I have left General Wei behind that day, or at least a thousand more people, it's not that I don't understand, the soldiers are training hard, and they are no longer the bears of the original county soldiers, I'm afraid General Wei also has similar ideas, so I think that it is more than enough to leave two thousand troops to defend the city, but as the saying goes, two fists are invincible to four hands, and there are many thieves, if you say that if the city falls, I am afraid that we will all die without a place to bury!" ”
Everyone also felt the same way, and they all blamed Wei Feng in their hearts, originally in their estimates, the bandits in Yixing had already been absorbed by Wei Feng Qing into the official army, and most of the people outside the city were abandoned and fled, and they were nowhere to be found, so there should be no thieves, even if they came from the neighboring Wuxing, at best, there were only three or five thousand people, so how could there be tens of thousands of thieves?
With puzzlement, some people have enough eyesight to take a closer look, and this look is a famous hall!
Chu Lingyuan immediately screamed: "Father, look, they are not all thieves, there are quite a few soldiers with armor and crossbows, if the little girl is not mistaken, it is likely that there are scholars or mutinous soldiers involved, and suddenly tens of thousands of thieves can be organized, it is not as simple as the response of the Le Shi scholars, it should be that Sun En has already prepared, through the Heavenly Master Dao in the middle of the connection as a cooperation, you know, Sun En's uncle Sun Tai is the Heavenly Master Dao Master, last year Sun Tai and his six sons were lured by Sima Daozi, and the Sun family has been destroyed, therefore, Sun En is the most qualified to take over as the Heavenly Master Dao Master! ”
Chu Shuang also noticed the unusualness, and then changed his color and said: "I didn't expect it, Sun En raised his arms and shouted, and Sanwu responded to it all, if it was just a bandit, how could there be such a momentum?" Sima Daozi's recruitment of music is really a mistake for the country! Among these people, it is very likely that there are also my Yixing County scholars! ”
The atmosphere before the war was already tense, and now there are scholars and county soldiers involved, and it is even more tense like a bowstring that will break at any time.
Everyone in the city kept their mouths shut, and no one was in the mood to speak, and a few people were trembling all over, and their faces showed a dead color, obviously not optimistic about Yang Xian's prospects.
Jiang Xuan, who was left by Wei Feng to defend the city, arched his hand to Chu Shuang: "Although there are many thieves, they are not in an orderly formation, they do not belong to each other, and they do not assign people to build siege equipment such as wooden donkeys and chariots, and the last general will have more than enough to defend the city with two thousand troops, please don't worry!" ”
Everyone was reminded, and when they looked at it carefully, the thieves were in a mess in the east and west, accompanied by faint noisy laughter and scolding, which was really similar to what Jiang Xuan said, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
The air has not been blown away by the wind, "Dong Dong Dong ~~" The city suddenly sounded the war drums, the noise gradually stopped, and a team of nearly 1,000 people slowly moved forward, all of them were fully equipped with bows and armor, and stopped their pace about 200 steps away from the city.
Among them, more than ten people came out in line, and the leader was a young man in a Confucian shirt in his twenties, who swept the city with cold eyes and shouted: "Where is Yixing Taishou? ”
Chu Shuang took a few steps forward, forced his composure, and snorted coldly: "The old man is, who are you?" ”
The young man hurriedly arched his hand: "It turned out to be Chu Fujun in person, I am the East China Sea Xu Daofu is also, Sima Daozi favors the evil and perverse, the land of Sanwu is mournful, and the Sanguan Emperor specially awarded me the Heavenly Master Taoist Jun Sun Ensun Zhenren as the general of Zhengdong, in order to set things right, eliminate the traitors, and return the three Wu Langlang Qiankun, and the auxiliary lord is enlightened and sageful!" Chu Fujun is an understanding person, why not follow General Zhengdong to raise righteousness? If you open the city to welcome me, General Zhengdong will definitely help you with your left and right arms, and ensure that your Chu family enters the center, swear by the sky, and never break your word! ”
Chu Shuang's old face quickly covered with a layer of anger, it is strange to say, Wei Feng revealed his anti-intentions, he did not react excessively, it seems that it is not normal if he does not react, and Xu Daofu accompanied Sun En to raise troops, he was characterized as a chaotic minister and thief, the root of the trouble, even if it is tens of thousands of dollars, it is difficult to understand the hatred in his heart!
Secretly suppressing this incomprehension, Chu Shuang shook the sleeves of his robe and said disdainfully: "Where did the cat and dog come from?" The old man has never even heard of it! Anyway, I don't know what to do when you are young, this time I will give you a chance, if you bind yourself and ask to surrender, the old man can play on behalf of the court to exempt you from the crime of rebellion! You only have one chance, so don't be rash! ”
Everyone behind him was secretly refreshed, indeed, they had heard of Sun En, they had heard of Lu Xun, these two people were also inferior scholars, Xu Dao's face was tight, and the ancestors of the Xu family did not have any prominent figures, and they were not even scholars.
Xu Daofu was furious, stretched out his hand and made a move back, the entourage hurriedly handed over a head, Xu Daofu grabbed the bun, raised it violently, and shouted: "Do you know this person?" ”
Chu Shuang leaned up to the city and stomped on his face, his face changed dramatically, the owner of this head is named Xie Yi, serving as Wu Xing's Taishou, Wu Xing talked about wealth, and his subordinates far exceeded Yixing, and Xie Yi and Xie An, Xie Xuan, including Xie Yan of the current dynasty, have no direct kinship, and are a distant branch of the Xie clan in Chen County, so Chu Shuang has always been quite critical of Xie Yi, and he is not as good as Wang Gong, Yin Zhongkan, and Xie Yan, but he has nothing to say, but even Xie Yi is not as good, which makes him feel very unbalanced!
But now, all the dissatisfaction has dissipated, and the heart is full of grief of being a fellow scholar but in a different place, and there is a cold sweat, if you find Wu Xing Taishou back then, I am afraid that Xu Dao will be lifted in his hand, it should be his Chu Shuang's head, and it is really a blessing and misfortune to rely on, if there is no original hijacking, where is the current impregnable city defense? He didn't dare to imagine that with the loose defense of Yixing originally, he was afraid that the thieves would rush into the city and he would still be in the dark, and for a while, his heart was full of gratitude to Wei Feng.
Xu Daofu was also observing the change in Chu Shuang's expression, and couldn't help but smile coldly: "Chu Fujun, I will also give you a chance, if you know the current affairs, you can keep the family safe, otherwise, once the army breaks through the city, you will be killed and the clan will be wiped out, Wu Xing Taishou Xie Yi is an example!" ”
"Don't think!" Chu Shuang refused!
"Good! Since you're looking for death, there's nothing to say! Give it to Lao Tzu! Xu Daofu waved again!
"Knock knock~~" Accompanied by the dull cowhide drum, the shouting of the mountain suddenly rose, and all the thieves set up the flying ladder in groups, all of them ran wildly, looking at this frame, it seemed that they wanted to win the envy of the sun in one go!
"Ahh Chu Lingyuan couldn't help but exclaim, her pretty face was as pale as paper, not only did she stop, but the Chu family and the county government officials, including Mrs. Chu, were not much better, and they all shot a thick color of fear in their eyes!
From the head of the city, Xiangxia, the momentum is indeed amazing, and the thieves are like a dark cloud sweeping towards the city.
Jiang Xuan hurriedly called: "Fu Jun, please retreat from the city quickly, and leave it to the last general and his brothers here!" ”
Chu Shuang didn't know where he got the courage, and shouted: "The soldiers fought bloodily, as the head of a county, how can they retreat?" The old man is not leaving! Swear to live and die with Yang Xian! ”
Everyone was secretly complaining, they had already saved the idea of smearing oil on the soles of their feet, but Chu Shuang didn't leave, and it was inconvenient for them to leave, suddenly, "I swear to live and die with Yang Xian!" The whole army burst out with a shout, which made everyone settle down a little, and even Chu Lingyuan shot perseverance in her beautiful eyes and forcibly looked directly at the city.
Jiang Xuan's scalp was actually numb, he had never experienced such a big battle, but since Wei Feng handed over Yang Xian to him, this was both a trust and a test, and the only thing he could do was to defend the city desperately!
He was convinced of Wei Feng's methods, he understood that he was born as a thief, and it was impossible for him to be looked down upon by scholars, only by following Wei Feng could he have a chance to get ahead, and if he failed, it was nothing more than taking a life, and he would be a man again eighteen years later!
Jiang Xuan quickly advanced his mind to the realm of no wells and no waves, looked at the city with cold eyes, and when the thief and Kou were close to within a hundred steps, he waved his hand violently: "Release!" ”
"Tense and taut~~" The crossbowmen after the city stomping relied on the city stomping, and pulled the trigger in their hands one after another, and one after another black arrows poured out, and they heard a series of screams, and more than a hundred corpses were lying on the ground!
This made everyone feel refreshed, but Jiang Xuan did not dare to be slow, he saw that the archer among the thieves had already set up arrows on the bowstring.
When attacking the city, the crossbow is useless, first, the rate of fire of the crossbow is slow, it is difficult to hit the defenders hiding behind the battlements at a distance of dozens of steps, and the second is that the trajectory is straight, and if you can't shoot the battlements, you can only fly without a trace, and the siege generally relies on the throwing of bows and arrows to kill and injure the defenders at the head of the city, so Jiang Xuan hurriedly called: "The bow and arrow have no eyes, please make the king take the princes back to the watchtower quickly!" ”
Chu Shuang also understood the horror of the arrow, he couldn't tell when he would be shot, he would be unjustly killed, and if he didn't insist at the moment, he led everyone to retreat quickly to the watchtower!
Unless the city is broken, or it is continuously bombarded by trebuchets, the watchtower should be regarded as the safest place on the city wall, everyone is relieved, and they have rushed to the lookout hole, looking down nervously!
