Chapter 4: Outlaw

readx; The people on the city wall who should have left have already left, and most of those who remain are some people who do not want to die. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Brother Chun thinks that the statement of not wanting to die is a bit general, and these people who don't want to die are not desperate, but because extreme poverty is more terrifying than death.

Among the people who remained, the largest number of them were Tibetans, and these people who had been abandoned were now the poorest people in Lanzhou City.

The lonely goose is the most likely to die, so there is not much difference between the Tibetan and the isolated goose without the protection of the ethnic group, rushing to the dirtiest and most tiring work, taking the most meager wages, eating the worst meals, and now there is hope to get rid of the people who are destitute, and there are still a large number of people who are willing to try whether they have the life to enjoy the money.

Brother Chun was already sparing money at this time, and he felt that it was very fair to buy a life for one or two silvers, but after this battle, he and Xiaoman would never want to gain a foothold in Lanzhou City again.

Those who don't have the courage to deal with Horrhu'er will definitely tear their entire family and Red Eagle to shreds afterwards, even if it costs a lot of money.

The city wall was finally much quieter, and everyone hid themselves tightly in order to save their lives, allowing the terrifying rangers to wander in front of the city wall without showing their heads, and shrunk their heads like quails, looking at the yang hair that did not move for a long time.

Li Qing came, he was very curious, a group of surnames that had nothing could make Xiao Hu'er lose nearly forty people in the ≧, even in the Western Regions, such battle losses were rare.

The war broke out suddenly, and he originally just wanted to intimidate Liu Chun, the prefect of Lanzhou, so as to get more money to compensate for his losses, but now it seems that if he does not break through Lanzhou City, whether the morale of his army can be a problem.

came to the front of the city wall and took a look at Li Qing, and he was happy. The tattered city wall is still the same as before, and the defenders of the city have not even done the minimum work of repairing the city wall, and as far as the eye can see, there are only a few lonely spears on the city wall emerging from behind the battlements on the city wall.

"People, siege! Let me see! ”

Li Qing got down from his warhorse. Half-lying on a soft couch, he waved at Yu Hou, signaling that he could officially attack Lanzhou City.

There is no way to break through Lanzhou City, Li Qing only needs to use the speed of a war horse to run around Lanzhou City, find the weakest mouth to break into, and the city will be broken.

However, Li Qing didn't care if he could break through Lanzhou City, he wanted to see why the people in Lanzhou City had lost so many people in a wave of attacks, and if he didn't figure out this matter, he wouldn't have any taste for dinner.

Chen Shu wanted to put up his flag. It's a pity that this idea can only be thought about in my heart, this battle I don't fight under the banner of the Jingxi Army at all, otherwise, all the hard work in front of Brother Chun will be in vain, and the Jingxi Army will also be charged with killing good and risking merit, and the Xixia people will have enough reason to enter Lanzhou City, in that case, the marshal has not yet started a war with the Liao State. I have to fight with the Tanguts first.

The Hu people who just rode a war horse may be easy to deal with. Now, as the Hu people on camels slowly advanced towards the city, Chen Shu finally understood where the prestige of Hu Er's came from.

A camel is a small mobile castle, the front of the camel is covered with leather armor to protect against stray arrows, and the long neck and head exposed from the outside of the leather armor can effectively protect the knight riding between the humps. Camels are far taller than war horses, and knights can quickly climb the city walls as long as they get close to the city walls, stand on the back of camels, and rely on short hooks and locks. Attacking the city and plundering the land is like walking on the ground, and the truth is so simple.

A few fast horses dragged branches from behind the city walls, raising up a cloud of dust, although the yellow dust slowly spread towards the city walls when the west wind blew again.

The knight looming in the loess is like a demon god who soars through the clouds, and before the defenders of the city can react, they have already reached the land of a stone's throw.

Chen Shu gave an order, and the arrows sank into the dust like flying locusts, and it was impossible to aim at this time, so he could only rely on a large area of shooting to make up for the lack of accuracy.

I couldn't see the results of the battle, but I could hear a few camels' wails......

After the round, Chen Shu sighed, lit the gunpowder bullet in his hand, and threw the gunpowder bullet in his hand according to the sound of the camel's advancing hooves.

When the first roar sounded, the rest of the soldiers of the Jingxi Army also threw out the gunpowder bombs in their hands, and the dark red flames continued to roll in the yellow dust, creating even more dust, which was stirred by the west wind, and the entire Lanzhou city was shrouded in dust.

When the first popping sound reached Li Qing's ears, he sat up suddenly, his eyes staring at the dust that was gradually moving away.

Chen Shu, who squinted his eyes, ran back and forth on the city wall impatiently, shouting loudly to his subordinates to be careful, a long arrow flew out of the dust, and hit Chen Shu's armor hard, fortunately, it happened to hit the shoulder armor, knocking Chen Shu into a stumbling block, and then he saw the yellow figure climb up from the city, and before he stood still, he smashed a people's strong head with a stick.

Several Tubo people screamed and rushed towards the Hu man, wanting to take down the Hu man with the help of the strength of the crowd, and the head of a Hu man was worth five taels of silver, and they took this very seriously.

The Hu people who had climbed the city wall were not busy rushing forward, and were firmly guarding there, as if they wanted to hold their positions so that more companions could come up from here.

Brother Chun hid in a small hiding cave, and when he saw that the Hu man had been entangled by four desperate Tubo people, he quietly lit two gunpowder bullets, and when the fire rope was almost burned, he threw it down the side of the city wall.

There was a loud bang, and although he couldn't see the results of the battle, Brother Chun vaguely saw a stump flying up from under the city wall.

Kicking away the crippled hand, Brother Chun saw that one of the four Tubo people was thrown to the city by the Hu people, and one was strangled to death by the Hu people with his arms, and the remaining two Tubo people hugged the Hu people to death, and they were about to be killed by the Hu people who were about to free their hands, and after igniting the remaining gunpowder bullet, he boldly approached the Hu people, stuffed the gunpowder bullets into the Hu people's quivers, and then crawled away from the city wall.

A muffled sound came, and Brother Chun saw that the Hu man's body was split from the middle, and his upper body flew into the air, and at the same time, the two Tubo people flew into the sky.

The sound of fighting on the city wall gradually intensified, and the screams of various northwest tones, cries for help, and shouts filled the entire city wall.

With the dust attacking the city walls, the two teams were already tightly entangled with gunpowder bullets, and it was impossible to rely on gunpowder bullets to win.

The war entered a bitter battle from the very beginning, and the heavy blades held by the tall Xiao Hu'er made the Jingxi army suffer enough, as strong as Chen Shu Zhang Ting, under the attack of Xiao Hu'er, the left and right blocks, like grass in the wind and rain.

Maces, flails, hammers, and the universal Mo knife made every blow difficult for the Song army to parry, and they could only barely rely on the strict human army formation to deal with it.

Zhang Ting's chest and abdomen were churning with an irrepressible feeling of pain, not long ago when he was hit by Hu Ren, his bones felt broken at this time, he originally thought that he was talented and diligent, and he would not be bad after training for so long, but now it seems that these warriors from the savage land are really terrifying.

Half of Boss Chen's face was already covered with blood, and if it wasn't for the support of the crossbowmen standing behind just now, Boss Chen's head would have been smashed by Hu Ren's flail.

Even if he was hit by a crossbow arrow, the Hu man was still fierce, threw away the flail, picked up a mace from the ground, and smashed it on Zhao Ping's chest.

Fortunately, there was still a layer of cork under the armor of the Jingxi Army, which offset most of the strength, otherwise, just one moment, Zhao Ping's sternum would be mashed.

Boss Chen's long knife slashed at Hu Ren's shoulder, roaring and pulling down, the long knife that had already become open teeth sawed Hu Ren's leather armor like a saw, and Zhao Ping's desperate struggle finally created a chance for Boss Chen.

Seeing that the dying Hu man threw away his mace, reached out and strangled Chen Shu's neck, Zhang Ting gritted his teeth and rolled towards Hu Ren, and the long knife in his hand desperately drilled through the gap in the armor, and the long knife drilled into most of Hu Ren's body, and then stirred it vigorously.

Chen Shu, Zhang Ting, Zhao Pingren After solving their opponents, Zhang Ting held his knees with his hands and panted, the wound on his arm opened like a child's mouth, Zhao Ping's spear had found a new target, and continued to advance to the right, there were six Horrifying Hu'er soldiers in a circle, and more than a dozen Jingxi soldiers were confronted, in this case, the pikemen were the best candidates for attack.

Chen Shu cut off the head of the Hu man, and did not forget to look at the city while he was busy, fortunately, the only people who participated in the siege of the city were this team of people, Li Qing, who was no longer on the soft couch, but sat on the war horse and stared at the city.

Chen Shu believed that as long as this team of men and horses was exhausted, Li Qing would not hesitate to put all his strength into battle.

Looking at Zhang Ting, who had already relieved his breath, Chen Shu said: "Take out all the gunpowder bullets, there is no need to leave behind, tell the little barbarian girl, the victory and defeat will be known in half an hour, she must evaluate the combat strength of the Xixia people must be faster, otherwise there will be no chance to escape." The Hu rangers had gone around to the other side of the city. (To be continued.) )
