Chapter 3: Buying Lives
readx; Brother Chun'er's words did not arouse the resistance of the people, but caused more panic, seeing those people roaring, shouting and pleading, rushing towards him like crazy.

Chen Shuchao smiled coldly at Brother Chun, who had been involved in the chaos, the people of Lanzhou City had been in a state of anarchy for many years, and it was a mistake from the beginning to drive the people to take wooden forks and hoes to deal with the heavily armed Hu Er.
There is a huge difference between the people and the soldiers, Chen Shu, who was born in the regular army, has a deep understanding of this, after becoming a team leader, he has been trained to organize the people, if you want to organize the people, you must first set up a loose non-governmental organization, no matter what the name of the non-governmental organization is, as long as it can have a certain prestige or power in the hearts of the people, only in this way can the people be organized to fight, otherwise, even if you barely rely on bullet pressure to let the people fight, Where does such an army come from?
There are regimental exercises in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, and this organization is actually a quasi-military organization, which takes a certain amount of time to train every year, so it can barely become an army, but even if it is a regimental training in the Great Song Dynasty, their combat effectiveness is also pitiful.
The Jingxi army never uses regimental training, even if it departs a part of its own people to transport grain and grass and dig tunnels, it will definitely not use regimental training and people's strength, because these people are with the army, and the biggest role is to dissipate the morale of the army.
He calmly fired a crossbow arrow, which went into the eye socket of a terrible beard, and the bloody cluster of arrows pierced the back of his head, and his body rolled down the dirt slope beneath the wall.
After one person fell to the ground, the rest quickly formed a shield array. The hardwood, which was more than an inch thick, was cut into a circle and covered with raw cowhide, and it was very difficult for a crossbow bolt to break through such a shield.
Seeing that Shocking Hu'er was already approaching, Chen Shu put away the crossbow that had been shot in the air, picked up the knife stuck in the ground and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.
Zhang Ting, who was guarding the opposite side of the gap, gently shook a huge flail in his hand. When the three Hackers rushed into the gap with the wooden shield guarding their bodies, the heavy flail just had enough strength, and smashed on the wooden shield with a roar, the sawdust splashed, and the shield-holding Hacker Beard screamed and retreated again and again, and a spear drilled out of the sawdust in the sky, and without hesitation, it drilled into the lower abdomen of the Hacker who lost the protection of the wooden shield, and the soldiers of the Jingxi Army who launched the attack did not stop, and the spear just got into the armor. If he wanted to kill the enemy, he still needed to take a step forward, and he didn't care about the swords and maces that attacked from both sides, and instead of retreating, he stabbed the spear into Shock's body until the spear came out of Shockbeard's back, and then stopped.
The horse chopping knives and maces on the left and right sides were naturally taken over by Chen Shu and Zhang Ting, and the long knives and horse chopping knives were separated with one touch. Chen Shu's long knife is made of refined steel, and the two knives are mutually slashing Hu Ren's chopping knife and it is broken into two with a clear sound. Chen Shu roared and used his body to urge the long knife that had lost its strength and crashed into Hu Ren's arms, his body rotated violently to the left, and the long knife cut on Hu Ren's chest and abdomen with the rotation of his body, and with a cracking sound, Hu Ren's body retreated again and again, and a large amount of blood gushed out with every step back.
The Hu people with maces are the strongest. After Zhang Ting's flail and mace touched a few times, Zhang Ting's body shook as if he was drunk, and the strength of this person was really amazing.
Seeing that Zhang Ting was in danger, Song Jun didn't have time to turn the spear, so he used both hands. The handle of the spear struck the back of Hu Ren's head, and the mace whistled and turned a corner in mid-air, smashing on the handle of the spear, and actually smashed the gun holding Song Jun to the side.
Zhang Ting stood on his heels, the blood churning between his chest and abdomen, this was the first time he had fought with the hairy Hu Ren, he didn't expect this guy's strength to be so great, seeing that Zhao Ping's spear was drawn to the sky with a stick, he hurriedly stepped forward, and smashed the flail with the sound of the wind on his head.
Hu Ren screamed, sideways to avoid the flail, raised his knee and pressed heavily on Zhang Ting's lower abdomen, Zhang Ting screamed, and his body fell to the ground softly.
Hu Ren took a step forward and raised his foot to step on Zhang Ting's neck to completely end Zhang Ting's life, but his thick body shook, his big mouth opened to reveal a mouth full of rotten teeth, and a blade emerged from his mouth.
The blade flashed, Chen Shu flashed out from behind Hu Ren, glanced at Zhang Ting, and hurriedly loaded the crossbow with crossbow arrows, and Hu Ren's reinforcements arrived.
Dense arrows fell on the head of the city, the head of the city screamed miserably, Chen Shu ignored the human body that kept falling from the city, the crossbow in his hand kept casting outward, and the two gunpowder bullets were already hanging in the convenient position.
Zhang Ting struggled to get up from the ground, his face was pale, and there were two blood lines hanging from the corners of his mouth.
The city wall in front of Lanzhou City is not wide, only about a thousand steps, and Chen Shu's men are scattered on this wall to fight with the scattered Hu people.
The bullet pressure at the head of the city has also come to an end, because of the blockade of the Jingxi army, no Hu people can kill the city wall, and the two eyes of the red eagle have become blood red.
Everyone lowered their voices in fear, whispered and roared into a strange noise, the timid were already crying in fright, and many were even so frightened that their legs were weak, and they had lost the courage and strength to continue running after walking a short distance.
The only remaining officials in Lanzhou City were not much better, and the figures came and went, suddenly. The sound of slashing human flesh in front of him sounded again, and countless sharp arrows flew down from the sky, and the screaming was like the call of death, followed by the sound of sharp arrows popping into the flesh, so the people on the city wall became crazy again.
Chen Shu avoided the crowd running around like a tide, and went up to the dilapidated enemy tower alone, looking at the chaotic atmosphere from above.
In order to aggravate the chaos in the city, the Hu people have used rockets, and the entire enemy building surrounded by gray smoke and smoke has been pushed open, and after pushing open the broken windows, the wind has poured in from all directions, whistling and whirling in the corridors and rooms, and many places have been on fire and burning fiercely.
Smelling the oil and gas in the smoke, Chen Shu took a deep breath, this smell is too familiar, after a few years of not fighting, the feeling of the battlefield seems to have disappeared, but fortunately, today I have regained that feeling of blood and blood.
The first wave of battles ended in a complete victory for the Jingxi army, with the corpses of more than 30 Hu'er being thrown off the city wall, and dozens of ownerless war horses wandering around the city of Lanzhou.
The whistling sound of long arrows came to him from a distance, and Chen Shu tilted his head slightly, and a thumb-thick feathered arrow whistled past his neck and was firmly nailed to the wooden wallboard.
In the excitement, Chen Shu took out a horn and blew it, and the riot in the city calmed down a little.
Chen Shu retracted the horn and stood on the enemy tower and shouted loudly: "Since you are not willing to fight, then leave, after we die in battle, whether you can live or not depends on whether Hu Er is willing to show mercy, and the man who wants to protect his wife and children stays, and if he plans to give his wife to Hu Ren, get out of here!" ”
Brother Chun glared at Chen Shu viciously, wanting to speak to stop these people from leaving, but saw that Chen Shu's crossbow arrow was aimed at him, so he had to swallow the words into his stomach.
As soon as Red Eagle and the others got out of the way, a group of people watched them vigilantly and prepared to sneak away from them.
Chen Shu laughed and said: "There are not many Hu people in the city, only 500 people, no, now there are more than 400 people left, we have more than 10,000 people, if everyone is lucky not to die, after the war, the camel city outside the city will be used by you, and Lao Tzu will not take a penny!" ”
More people slipped away from Red Eagle's side, and the sarcastic smile on Brother Chun'er's face became thicker and thicker, these Qiu Ba were still dead-eyed, thinking that with this kind of empty promise, they could make these people serve the battlefield?
A female voice suddenly appeared on the city wall: "Defend the city for a day, tattoo a tael of silver!" ”
The flowing crowd suddenly stopped, and Brother Chun squeezed out of the crowd in a hurry, only to see his wife standing behind the city wall, and at her feet was a large bag of broken silver that had been scattered, and the white flowers were eye-catching.
"What a barbarian lady says counts?" A dark-clad man in tattered clothes suddenly asked.
Xiao Man took out a silver ingot weighing one or two from the pile of silver, threw it to the man and said, "You can take it first!" ”
The man took the ingot, put it in his mouth and bit it, then carefully picked it up, picked up his hoe and was about to go up to the city wall.
Xiao Man smiled: "This big brother, we can't ignore our lives when we earn silver, if we want to have a life to earn silver, we have to listen to the military master on the enemy's floor, in addition, you can also take a knife here, how can it be better than a hoe." ”
Hearing this, the man grinned and said: "Lao Tzu is a gambler, and he has even lost his wife recently, and sooner or later he will die, so it is better to die with the silver, and he will be rich in the underworld." ”
Xiao Manqiao stood there without saying a word, just waiting for the rest of the people with bright eyes to come forward to receive the silver, human life in this world is not very valuable, and it is always fair to sell money for a day.
There are a lot of swordsmen and bodyguards in this Lanzhou city, who work with their heads tied to their belts, and they may not be able to earn a tael of silver a day.
Brother Chun saw that people were going to Xiaoman one after another to get their own silver, he remembered that the silver seemed to have been handed over to Xiaoman last night, and it was used to take the whole family to escape for their lives.
Chen Shu grinned, this woman is really interesting, somewhat of the meaning of the military wealth of Jingxi.
It is far better to buy a life with silver than to force people to sell their lives. This technique has been used countless times. (To be continued.) )
