City gates.

The two armies were tense and on the verge of exploding, and the killing intent permeated the surroundings.

Cheng Chumo was silent when the factor exploded in his body, his eyes instantly turned red, and he stared at the enemy generals who came over, like a hungry wolf seeing the lamb sent to the door, his fighting spirit was furious, and he held up the horse lance in his hand: "Wu that thief, eat your Cheng Xiaoye with a shot, kill——"

A roar that was breathtaking.

The next moment, Cheng Chumo rushed up with a gun, like a god of war possessed, with the momentum of death and lifelessness, the soldiers saw that Cheng Chumo was so fierce, and they were also stimulated to scream, and the killing intent rushed to the sky.

"Bang-"

With a muffled sound, Cheng Chumo smashed down with a horse lance, but was blocked by the enemy general's gun, but the terrifying power shook the opponent's arms, and the gun in his hand almost shook off, gritting his teeth to endure, but Cheng Chumo's attack was too fast, and the horse lance counterattacked, like lightning to pick up the opponent's big gun.

The other party was horrified, his body exploded, how could Cheng Chumo let the other party run away? The horse lance came out of the hole like a dragon, stabbing through it with the momentum of piercing everything.

"Poof!" Bang.

The horse lance pierced the body of the enemy general on the spot, Cheng Chu shook it silently, threw the corpse out, and smashed down a few people, the enemy army instantly appeared a gap, Cheng Chumo took the opportunity to rush up with a brisk step, the horse lance swept through thousands of troops, with a strong wind to overturn several, the gap expanded again.

The enemy army saw that Cheng Chumo was so fierce, they were frightened, there was no general to command, the team became a plate of scattered sand, and they all hindered, and the soldiers saw Cheng Chumo so majestic and brave, and the morale of the stimulated increased again, and they rushed up and slashed with a knife, cutting melons and vegetables.

"Puff puff!"

"Ahhh

The muffled sound and screams of the knife cutting through the flesh and blood are intertwined, converging into a song of killing, Cheng Chumo showed his bravery, no one could catch a move, stirring up the enemy army upside down, they retreated, and their courage fell sharply, and the soldiers took the opportunity to rush up, using Cheng Chumo as an arrow, chasing and slashing.

Soon, the group of enemies was killed and fled.

Cheng Chumo was worried that the enemy would take the opportunity to bypass and close the city gate, so he did not chase it, and retreated to the city gate with his troops, waiting for the battle, and looked back, the main force outside the city was galloping wildly, leading by more than 1,000 cavalry, and a lot of war horses were captured in the battle just now, which was just used.

On the city wall, the enemy launched an attack from both sides, and his own people were a little unable to stop it, Cheng Chumo pointed to the two captains and shouted: "You two bring people up and support both sides respectively to ensure that the city wall is not lost." ”

"Obey!" The two said yes and hurried away.

Cheng Chumo looked at the group of soldiers around him and said with a smile: "With General Ben here, don't worry, the army will arrive soon." ”

Everyone nodded, not afraid, and the leading captain said confidently: "The general is brave, one is ten thousand, there is a general, we are afraid of a fart!" ”

"Hahaha." The soldiers burst into laughter, and things were on the rise.

finally opened the city gate and killed in, and no one was willing to give up this work and give up the silver in hand.

Not long after, a cavalry rushed over from the city, the speed was extremely fast, the flesh and blood were in front of it, and it was useless if it was not dead, Cheng Chumo saw that the speed had risen, and decisively ordered: "Disperse!" ”

The soldiers didn't know why, but they still decisively dispersed on both sides and gave way to the gate.

The enemy's cavalry was too fast, coming straight to the city gate, and couldn't stop at all, there were only two options, change direction, and chase after the opponent, but the Tang army had its back against the city wall, if it really hit it, the war horse would hit the city wall, the speed was too fast, this collision war horse could not survive, and he would rush out and hit the city wall, and he would not die or be wasted.

Another option is not to change direction, continue to rush forward, and rush out of the city.

The leading general didn't want to be killed, so he chose to continue to rush forward, rushed out of the city gate in one breath, and rushed to the support point of more than 1,000 Tang troops, the speed of the Tang army's war horses was also fully open, the two armies collided together, the war horses neighed, many people fell off their horses, and the people behind rushed up and killed together.

Cheng Chu silently waited for all the enemy troops to rush out of the city gate, and shouted: "Brothers, shoot the horse's legs." ”

The war horse is fast, and rushing up is to die, but it can shoot arrows.

Hearing the command, the archers quickly drew their bows and fired them at the horse's legs.

The war horse was in pain, screaming again and again, and some war horses couldn't help but stand up, and almost saw the people on horseback throw out, but as soon as they stopped, the speed slowed down, and the speed of the war horse behind did not decrease, and they crashed headlong into this war horse, and suddenly became a mess and crowded together.

More horses rushed over and slammed into each other, blocking the city gates, and the people on the horses fell one after another, trampled by the frightened horses, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

The soldiers' eyes straightened when they saw this scene, and they all looked at Cheng Chumo, and Cheng Chumo saw that the effect was surprisingly good, and he also shouted excitedly: "Kill!" ”

Once the horse loses its speed, the enemy on horseback is not worried, and even the movement is inconvenient, and the combat effectiveness plummets, and the soldiers rush up in a swarm, cutting down people when they see them, and the archers hide in the rear and shoot the horse enemy with cold arrows.

Cheng Chu Mo rose up bravely, swept over with the horse lance in his hand, tore open the necks of several people, brought out blood arrows, and then kicked the enemy who was sneaking in behind, the horse lance stabbed again and again, and in a blink of an eye, several people were down, and the enemy who killed was frightened and did not dare to approach.

Not to be outdone, the enemy fought back.

Brutal cold weapon melee combat broke out, you stab me, I cut you, this kind of melee has nothing fancy, and it doesn't require any exquisite knife skills, it's who fights who is more ruthless than whom, who is faster than the knife, and who has great strength.

Cheng Chumo stabbed several in one go, and seeing that he couldn't fight like this, he immediately shouted: "Form a circle." ”

Someone commanded, the collective strength burst out, and the soldiers quickly assembled into a circle formation according to the usual training, the circle formation has an advantage, there is no need to worry about the back, and there is no need to worry about the side sneak attack, just face the frontal enemy, and the archers rush into the circle to support.

With the round formation, everyone's combat effectiveness exploded, and they had no worries in the face of twice as many enemies.

Cheng Chumo had no worries, and his combat effectiveness was even more explosive, the horse lance swept away, slashed several with thunderous momentum, and then shot like lightning, stabbing again and again, no one could avoid it, and he couldn't even block, too fast, too strong, and couldn't bear it.

In the blink of an eye, a large piece fell in front of Cheng Chumo, the enemy was frightened and attacked, Cheng Chumo quickly retreated, and the position was immediately filled, Cheng Chumo quickly came to the position with the most enemies from the middle of the circle, pulled a wounded soldier behind him, and a walking card was stuck, and the horse lance struggled to slash.

"Pss

The sharp edge of the blade instantly tore apart the flesh of the three people, screaming as they fell, Cheng Chumo didn't fail to look at the fallen people, stabbed again and again, as fast as lightning, and killed several people in one go, and the soldiers had Cheng Chumo joining, their spirits were greatly lifted, roaring, and slashing hard.

When the crisis was resolved, Cheng Chumo quickly retreated, and continued to fight in a place where there were many people, just like a firefighter, but it greatly improved the morale of the soldiers.

Not long after, the enemy cavalry who rushed out of the city was killed, the soldiers abandoned their horses and rushed up, with the addition of the new force, where can the enemy still carry it, suddenly the birds and beasts scattered, the soldiers did not pursue, they waited in formation, Cheng Chumo was not in a hurry, the fat in his hand was not afraid to fly, and arranged for people to drag away the corpse of the war horse blocked at the gate of the city.

It didn't take long for the main force to rush over, Cheng Chumo was overjoyed, gathered the captains, and said while ordering the generals: "A few of you kill from the city wall, take the city gate, close it, and go quickly!" ”

"Obey!" The captain who was called by name excitedly led the team to the road.

Killing into the city means that Anshi Prefecture is at your fingertips, a great achievement, it is difficult not to be excited, other captains also looked at Cheng Chumo, their eyes were fanatical, eager to try, Cheng Chumo stared at a captain and said: "You lead the team to stay, close the city gate, and hold it." ”

"Obey!" Seeing that there was no chance to enter the city, the other party was a little regretful, but did not disobey.

"The others are divided into three ways, kill me in the cross, and those who resist will be killed, go!" Cheng Chu ordered murderously, there is no map, I don't know where the city lord's mansion, barracks, and grain depot are, just don't care, kill it first, it's simple, rough, but practical.

As long as the courage is broken and no one resists, the city will be in hand.

The soldiers rushed up, with a regiment as a combat unit, and rushed to different streets under the leadership of the captain, slashing all the way, and Cheng Chumo led a group of men and horses to the avenue.

The city plan is square, the roads are criss-crossed, don't worry about getting lost, the avenue is the main road of a city, and it is also the widest road in the city, dividing the city into two, Cheng Chumo took the lead, saw an official leading a group of officials over, stopped at a distance from the other party, and shouted: "Stop, don't kill!" ”

Cheng Chu silently signaled the troops to stop, took a few steps forward, stared at the other party and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Anshi Prefecture guards Zhu Yi too much, the word is successful, the official is willing to surrender, I just ask the general not to kill indiscriminately."

"Zhu Taishou, this can't tolerate you, the Goguryeo army stepped into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, killed thousands of my people, slaughtered villages and exterminated clans at every turn, how to calculate this blood debt?" Cheng Chumo said coldly.

"This ...... The Tang army has always been benevolent and righteous, and the general has already taken the city, so why bother to kill again? Spreading it also damages the prestige of the general. Zhu Zicheng persuaded him.

"Bullshit prestige, Lao Tzu only needs a saying, blood debt and blood repayment." Cheng Chumo may have cared about reputation before, he has been following Qin Huaidao for a long time, he has already seen through it, and his tone is extremely firm, although he can't really slaughter the city, but the defenders in the city are a hidden danger and must be killed.

Glancing at the officials behind the Taishou, their faces were flustered, and the hands holding the weapons were shaking, it was not a regular army, it seemed that there were not many troops left to defend the city, and shouted: "The generals will listen to the order, except for the Taishou, and kill the others." ”

"Obey!" The soldiers swarmed up.

Where have the officials seen this battle, it's okay to bully and bully the people, so frightened that he turned around and ran, and the knife was lost, Taishou Zhu Zicheng's face turned pale when he saw this scene, and he wanted to stop it, but he saw that Cheng Chumo's knife-like sharp eyes were locking on him, and he could send a fatal blow at any time, and swallow it when he got to his mouth.

When the soldiers saw the officials running away, they turned their heads to look at Cheng Chumo with some depression, Cheng Chumo knew very well that these officials were all local snakes, familiar with the terrain, and they could find a random place to drill, and it would be troublesome to find it, and the troops could not disperse, and shouted: "Keep advancing!" ”

"Obey!" The soldiers formed a formation and continued to move forward.

Cheng Chumo looked at Taishou Zhu Zicheng and said, "If you don't want to die, let's go, see how my Tang army soldiers are?" ”

Where did Zhu Zicheng dare to resist, he followed forward, and persuaded unwillingly: "The people are innocent, when is the time for retribution, and the Gui Dynasty does not want to be just an empty city when it takes Anshi Prefecture, and please don't kill indiscriminately." ”

"It's okay if you don't kill the people, you cooperate, let everyone not resist, and stay at home honestly." Cheng Chumo did such a tasteless thing as killing the people indiscriminately, and made a request for it.

"If you are willing, please also ask the general to keep Cigna." Zhu Zicheng hurriedly agreed, and when he saw Cheng Chu nodding silently, he immediately shouted in the local language: "This official is too protective of Zhu Zicheng, the city has been taken by the Tang Army, please close the doors and windows, don't go out, the Tang Army will not embarrass everyone." ”

shouted all the way, Cheng Chu silently saw that the people had closed their doors and windows one after another, and had no intention of coming out, so he estimated that Zhu Zicheng was not cheating, and he was relieved.

There were several officials on the street in front of him watching, and Zhu Zicheng hurriedly shouted: "Go and inform the others, send an order to the whole city, let the people close their doors and windows, stay at home, don't go out, go quickly." ”

Several people dispersed in a hurry.

Soon, more officials rushed to the streets, shouting and shouting, and the other two Tang troops did not know why, but when they saw that the people had closed their doors and windows one after another, they did not seem to be hostile, so they didn't bother to care, and continued to search the defenders.

All the way over, he couldn't see a defender rushing up, Cheng Chumo became suspicious in his heart, and asked, "Zhu Taishou, where are the defenders in the city?" ”

"Back to the general, there are no more defenders in the city."

"Where are the people?"

"Half of them were transferred, three thousand escorted the grain on their backs, and there were only two thousand in the city, which had been killed by your army."

Cheng Chumo thought about it carefully, and when he came in, he found that there were more than 300 enemy troops, and then about 200 people rushed up, and finally 1,000 cavalry, adding up to 1,005, and the remaining 500 were estimated to be guarding the other three gates, which was reasonable, but he couldn't be careless, and rushed with the troops to cross it, and sure enough, he found more than 200 enemies at the city gate.

The soldiers swarmed up and slashed them clean.

Cheng Chumo said to Zhu Zicheng: "Zhu Taishou, take General Ben to the grain depot." ”

Zhu Zicheng saw that this army was too lethal, he didn't accept surrender at all, he couldn't afford to resist, and led everyone to the grain depot, next to the grain depot was the barracks, the troops rushed in to search, and there was indeed not a single soldier, and there was not much food, Cheng Chumo looked at the empty warehouse and asked, "Where is the grain?" This is not enough for the defenders. ”

"The grain has been transported to Liaodong City."

Cheng Chu was silently angry, and asked, "How do you live with this little food?" Tell me honestly, otherwise General Ben won't mind killing you, slaughtering the city again, and taking away the people's food. ”

Zhu Zicheng felt Cheng Chumo's anger, panicked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The general is angry, and a batch of grain will be transported over tomorrow." ”

"That's pretty much it, be honest, make sure you don't die." Cheng Chumo said with satisfaction, leaving a group of men and horses to guard the grain depot, and the others continued to patrol the city, only leading a group of men and horses straight to the city guard's mansion, opening the silver treasury and seeing that the house was full of hanging money, enough rewards, and he was determined to come to the official office.

Sitting on the main seat, Cheng Chumo tried hard to recall Qin Huaidao's actions after taking Liaodong City, and gradually made a decision in his heart, asking people to notify all the captains to come over, and it was full and crowded into a room.

Cheng Chumo said straight to the point: "Brothers, although Anshi Prefecture has been taken, there are still many problems, we must defend it to the death, as long as we hold Anshi Prefecture, even if we cut off the grain road of Goguryeo, even if the task of robbing the grain road assigned by General Dingyuan is completed, what do you think?" ”

At the critical moment, it is necessary to unify cognition and decision, this is the leading experience that Cheng Chumo just understood from Qin Huaidao, and his eyes were shining at everyone.

Holding on means risk, casualties, no one wants to fight this kind of battle, but the task requires it, so you have to consider holding on, and holding on is the best way to complete the task, the captains nodded their heads one after another.

Seeing that an agreement was reached, Cheng Chu waited in his heart for a while, and continued: "General Ben needs two thousand people to go out of the city, bring back our war horses, and transport the grain captured in the first battle just now and the war horses killed, and if we have food in our hands, we are not afraid, who wants to go?" ”

Someone immediately stepped forward.

Cheng Chu silently ordered ten captains, signaled the other party to go out of the city as soon as possible, and then arranged for 1,000 people at each city gate, that is, five regiments, and let them elect one person to be the main leader, so as not to have confusion in command, and then arrange another 1,000 people to stay in the city to guard the mansion, and the remaining troops continued to patrol the city to prevent accidents.

One after another, orders were issued, and the troops began to operate, each performing its own duties, but it was also orderly.

Cheng Chumo led the army for the first time, and it was an army of 10,000, and he had no bottom in his heart, and while recalling Qin Huaidao's various deployments in Yingzhou and Liaodong City, he was thinking that once the grain from outside the city was transported back, if he ate the grain delivered tomorrow, it should be enough for the army to hold on for a month, the question is how to hold this month?

"Do you want to block the gates of the city to prevent the enemy from hitting them?"

"What if the arrow is not enough, let the people build it?"

"Or, they also raided the mansion of the Anshi Prefecture officials, and after getting the food and silver, they hired the people to work to build feather arrows, stabilize the people's hearts, ensure that there is no chaos in the city, and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops?"

Gradually, I had some ideas in my heart.

……

Yeonjin City.

Different from Cheng Chumo's worries, Li Dejian sat in the city lord's mansion with an angry face, and there was a piece of information on the eucalyptus, and the room Wei suddenly took it, and after taking Fuyu City, the troops came to Jinshan, if it weren't for Li Dejian's caution, he left 3,000 people in Jinshan City to defend, and it would have been broken.

Fang Yiai, Xue Feng and Xue Wu sat on both sides, equally indignant, waiting for Li Dejian to make a decision.

After receiving Qin Huaidao's order, the army has taken Mudi Prefecture and Yanjin, and is discussing the action against Southern Suzhou, but there is bad news from Jinshan City, this decision is not good, once it goes wrong, it may lead to a complete loss, and the good situation is reduced to a wedding dress for Murwei.

After waiting for a while, Fang Yiai saw that Li Dejian had not moved for a long time, and couldn't help it, and said murderously: "Li joins the army, otherwise, my 5,000 people will immediately set off, rush into Jinshan City to support, and block the attack of Murowei. ”

"Are you sure you can hold it for five days?" Li Dejian asked.

"Even if there are still 1,000 people in Jinshan City, it is not a big problem to bring 5,000 people over and 6,000 people to guard for five days." Fang Yiai said confidently.

Li Dejian knows the force of Fang Yiai, but he also knows Fang Yiai's reckless character, once he is reckless, he is easy to be impulsive, this kind of character is suitable for rushing and killing, not conducive to defending the city, his eyes fell on the Xue family brothers, Xue Wu is cautious, and there is force, but the force is not as good as Fang Yiai, and it may not be able to suppress the Khitan army.

How can you get the army to obey the command and fight desperately?

Suddenly, Li Dejian thought of Qin Huaidao's method of stimulating with silver rewards, and he had a bottom in his heart, and immediately said: "Xue Wu, you will lead five thousand Khitan troops over." ”

"Obey." Xue Wu had some differences, but he still hugged his fists and agreed.

Xue Feng hesitated, but didn't say anything.

Li Dejian saw Xue Feng's worries, and said with a smile: "Brother Xue Feng, don't worry, Xue Wu, take your 1,000 people with you, bet 100,000 pieces of silver over, and tell the army, kill one enemy, reward Yinguan, 6,000 people can't defend it, to ensure that Jinshan City is not lost, you only need to hold it for ten days, and the army will arrive, is there a problem?" ”

As soon as Xue Wu heard that he was stimulated with a reward for silver, as well as the thousand people he brought out from Yingzhou, his confidence suddenly increased, and he said solemnly: "Li joins the army, don't worry, ten days, if you can't complete the task, you cut off my head." ”

"It's not that serious, the Khitan can be used, and you have to guard against it, let them take the lead, and your people won't fight for this reward." Li Dejian reminded.

"Understood!" Xue Wu comprehended and agreed.

"Carry more feather arrows and food, and go." Li Dejian urged.

The soldier was fast, Xue Wu hugged his fists again and saluted, and hurried away.

Xue Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Li Senjun is thoughtful, Jinshan is no problem, when will the army set off to take South Suzhou." ”

Fang Yiai hurriedly said: "Jinshan won't give it to me, this task of attacking South Suzhou belongs to me, right?" ”

Li Dejian hesitated for a moment, and suddenly his eyes were certain, as if he had made a major decision, and said: "Beloved brother, give you 5,000 Khitan soldiers, dare you set off overnight, go straight to Fuyu City, and there is no need to attack after arriving, cut off the grain from Fuyu to Jinshan City, and allow you to feed the war with war, without food, Murowei, who attacked Jinshan, will inevitably withdraw its troops." ”

"Why don't you dare? By the way, take Buyeo City together. Fang Yiai agreed.

"No." Li Dejian was taken aback, and with Fang Yiai's character being not the material for attacking the city at all, he hurriedly advised: "Only rob grain, not attack the city, otherwise, let others go to this task." ”

"Okay, okay, okay." Fang Yiai can't wait to lead the army out to fight, and he is not alone in following Li Dejian's military exploits, how boring it is, and he has made up his mind in his heart, isn't it just robbing grain? It's okay if you can't fight in Buyeo City, there is grain on the grassland, and killing into Murowei is also considered a robbery of grain.

Li Dejian didn't know that letting Fang Yiai out, that is, the lion entered the grassland, completely let go of himself, and said to Xue Feng: "Prepare overnight, leave a thousand people to garrison, and the others will set off early tomorrow morning to kill in southern Suzhou, be sure to take it within five days, and then enter Fuyu City." ”

"Obey!" Xue Feng agreed.

"Together, you want to take Buyeo City personally?" Fang Yiai said.

"Not convinced?" Li Dejian asked rhetorically, seeing that Fang Yiai turned his head to look at Bei Zhu, obviously unconvinced, he was angry, and said: "It's okay to disobey, make a military order, and take everything in Buyeo, otherwise, military law will be engaged." ”

"Forget it, forget it, it's better for you to fight it yourself, it's good for me to rob the grain." Fang Yiai's mind has flown to the grassland, and he can't look down on Fuyu City at all.

Li Dejian didn't think much about it, and said, "Let's get ready to go." ”

The crowd left.

Li Dejian looked out the window and muttered: "This battle must not be defeated, for myself, for the trust of the Qin brothers, and for my father's reputation!" ”
