Chapter 53: Siege of Si County
Seeing that their county camp defense had been chopped off with a knife, the remaining cavalry still dared to fight this group of bloodthirsty madmen.
"Withdraw!"
"Retreat!"
A small cavalry officer saw the grinning Zhou Ping walking towards him with a blood-dripping battle axe, and his face turned pale with fright, and he no longer had the will to fight.
The remaining cavalry of the battalion kicked and beat the belly of the horses one after another, trying to break away from the battle and retreat to the county seat.
But when they turned their horses, they realized that the rebel soldiers who had been in ambush for a long time had cut off their retreat.
"Destroy them, brethren!"
When Zhou Ping led 800 soldiers to fight with the battalion defense cavalry, Zhao Gong had already brought reinforcements over to cut off the rear road of these battalion defense cavalry.
Zhao Gong is also a brave general, and he is at the forefront of the front.
A battalion defense cavalryman raised his sword and slashed at Zhao Gong, Zhao Gong rolled over the momentum, dodging the sharp knife at the same time, the war knife in his hand cut off the horse's leg.
The horse overturned forward, and the battalion cavalry rolled forward to the ground.
Zhang Bao looked at the Dynasty cavalry who was pressed under him with a face full of fear, and showed a cold smile.
His sword slashed the throats of the dynasty's cavalrymen, and splatters of blood spurted several feet high.
His face was covered in blood and his white fangs looked particularly terrifying, and he turned his head to look, startling another cavalryman who tried to charge at him.
Zhou Ping's group of subordinates was a group of tiger wolves who were not afraid of death, and under their siege, more than 100 county defense cavalry who rushed out of the city were quickly killed.
The county commander of Sixian County stood at the head of the city, watching their only cavalry hundred-man team disappear in the blink of an eye, and they gasped.
The county commander of Sixian just wanted this cavalry to test the attack and see how strong Zhou Ping was.
But they didn't expect that the meat buns beat the dogs and never returned, and they lost their only mobile strength in vain.
"Hurry up to Nanyang City, the thief army is menacing, the strength is strong, our army lost the first battle, please Taishou quickly send troops to relieve the siege!"
The county commander of Sixian County saw Zhou Ping's combat effectiveness, and while he was frightened, he also hurriedly sent cavalry to Nanyang Mansion City for help.
After a while, several cavalrymen with the handwritten letter of the Si County Commander left the city from the north city of Si County and went straight to the direction of Nanyang City.
"Report to Lord Qianhu, three cavalry from Si County have left the city from the north gate, will we intercept them?"
Zhou Ping and his only few scout cavalry roamed around Si County, and soon found the cavalry from Si County who had gone to ask for help.
"Let them go."
After Zhou Ping received the report from the scout, he did not order the scout to intercept and kill.
Because he didn't have to think about it to know that they had killed more than a hundred Sixian cavalry, and Sixian would definitely send someone to ask for help now.
Zhou Ping and their victory in the first battle, killing more than 100 cavalry with infantry in the wilderness, it can be said that their morale was greatly boosted.
Soon, the corpses of these cavalrymen were placed outside the city gate of Si County by Zhou Ping, and the bloody corpses made the county defense soldiers of Si County extremely ugly.
"I order you to go out of the city before early tomorrow morning, please surrender, otherwise after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!"
Zhao Gongjiang, a hundred-person household whose body was soaked in blood, did not forget to threaten and intimidate after his body was still outside the gate of Sixian County.
After Zhao Gong threatened, he left behind a bloody corpse and swaggered back.
Zhou Ping and the county defense cavalry fought a fight, although they killed more than 100 cavalry, but they also killed more than 60 soldiers.
These soldiers were all sword and shield soldiers arranged at the front, and many of them were killed by the shattering of their shields by their horses.
In addition to the more than sixty soldiers who were killed, there were dozens of wounded soldiers, but on the whole, they were victorious.
"When the fallen brothers go back, they will be paid ten gold coins according to the law, and the wounded brothers will be paid five gold coins, and the rest will be rewarded according to their meritorious deeds!"
The soldiers were still in a heavy mood because of the death and injury of so many comrades, and after hearing Zhou Ping's words, they screamed excitedly.
Zhou Ping and the others cleaned up the battlefield and captured more than 30 war horses, and the dead war horses did not even spare meat.
Although the taste of these horse meat is indeed not very good, Zhou Ping was born recklessly, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they are not so particular.
After Zhou Ping and the others cleaned up the battlefield, they began to cut down trees to make ladders and prepare for the siege.
The county commander of Si County also sent three waves of messengers in the direction of Nanyang Fufucheng, because he knew that relying on the 4,000 soldiers of Si County alone, although he had the strength to fight, when he saw the combat power of the rebel army, he knew that he could not fight in the field, and he would definitely not be able to defeat those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals outside the city.
"General Zhou, it seems that these guys are quite bad, so they are swaggering like this
