Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Night Battle (Part II)

With a thousand people, Roca lurked outside the city and waited patiently.

A moment later, a code came out, and he could smell the sound of killing inside, of course, it was a very fast and short killing sound, but Rocca still had a heartbeat.

After some time, I heard the sound of the city gate opening, very slowly and slowly, so as not to alarm anyone, but the door was slowly opened.

Rocca couldn't help but be overjoyed, and just wanted to give the order to attack, but there was a palpitation, and an ominous premonition suddenly hit, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Father? Father! Wait a moment, my son whispered.

Knowing that now was not the time to hesitate, Roca settled down and said, "You stay and guard the gates!" ”

Then he turned to his own soldiers and said, "Go up, rush into the city, kill!" ”

At the sound of the order, he jumped up, pulled out his knife, and rushed straight inside, when he arrived at the dark and secluded city gate, he hesitated again, but still rushed in, as soon as he rushed in, he saw Neiying, and his heart must be.

"The barracks are there, and as soon as we rush it in the night, we will win." Before he could say more, he asked in a low voice.

"It's in the camp under the city walls." He should have answered.

"Rush in!"

Although there were 2,000 soldiers in the city, if there were no defenses at night, let alone a thousand people, even if 500 people rushed away, they would also collapse, and the county camp would be destroyed. At that moment, the team entered the city in a steady stream, and went straight to the barracks, but walking in the streets, there was no movement in the city, and after walking for a while, Roca finally stopped and shouted: "Slow! ”

"Roca Toast?"

"Not true. Why isn't there even a patrol here? It's so quiet! Roca's face changed: "Quick, quit!" ”

"Light the fire, release the arrows!" Then. Order.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "Peng", arrows rained down, and nearly a hundred barbarians who bore the brunt of the attack immediately fell in response, and almost at the same time, countless torches lit up, full of armor. =Junzitang starter=

Rocca let out a "boom" in his heart. I only felt that the blood was surging, the surrounding heaven and earth, and the soldiers immediately spun around, staggered a step to stand firmly, and his face became pale, but he shouted urgently: "Withdraw!" ”

"Now, these thousand. That's it! Fang Xin was on the city wall and saw the barbarian retreat in a hurry. A heart suddenly let go, took a breath, and said, "If you fight to the death." Then we're going to have a headache! ”

"What my lord said is that there are only 2,000 soldiers in the county, and there are a large number of displaced people, and if he does not retreat and advance, even if we take them all, we will suffer heavy losses. And. The homeless people may also blow up the camp! Qi Zhiqing, who was commanding, said with a smile.

"My lord, do you want me to cut off the back road? Catch turtles in an urn and beat dogs behind closed doors? At this time, Zhang Yang's face was pale, he was responsible for public security, and he was also responsible for vigilance when it was critical, but now he was under his nose, and let people open the city gate, this is already a big crime, when it comes to military law, you can even kill your head, even if you talk about official law, at least cut officials to the end, and go to prison!

He was afraid, angry, and ashamed, and he reached for the handle of the knife.

"Lord Zhang has this heart, very good, but you gather troops first, and then go down to close the city gate, if you let them know now that the back road is dead, it will be terrible, it will only trap the beast and fight, bringing more casualties, and when they get close to the city gate, you go down, kill the group of people who are still guarding the city gate, and close the city gate!" Fang Xin said gently.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Yang's heart sank, and he regained a little sobriety.

On the high wall, the situation below is even clearer, 2,000 officers and soldiers are chasing and killing nearly 1,000 thieves, and the natives have no will to fight at this time, and retreat again and again, trying to withdraw along the way they came.

Therefore, in the midst of the fighting, the officers and soldiers systematically condescended to shoot arrows, and then rose up to kill, swords, from time to time reflected the flame of the torch, although the situation was extremely tragic, but most of the fallen were indigenous soldiers.

And Qi Zhiqing is a veteran in the army in the end, intercepting layer by layer, just refusing to let them retreat easily, but there is no hope for them to be destroyed, so in this layer of interception, those natives who have no fighting spirit are in chaos, and they are completely disrupted, just thinking about rushing to retreat, and from time to time screaming and being hacked to death with knives.

When he approached the south gate of a street, Fang Xin said categorically: "Wu Jie, Zhang Yang, kill and close the city gate!" "Yes!" The two of them responded awe-inspiringly, led one hundred and twenty people to rush straight down, and rushed towards the dozens of people guarding the city gate, and suddenly, the sound of killing started again.

Qi Zhiqing couldn't help but glance at Fang Xin, this young magistrate was just right to use soldiers, which surprised and admired him in his heart.

The group of defending the city also suddenly realized that they raised their knives and killed them, Wu Jie roared angrily, stepped forward, and the long knife came out, and the two people in front of him immediately fell out, blood splashed, like a tiger entering the forest, and everywhere he went, he killed several people in a row.

And Zhang Yang also seemed to rush to the front, with a long knife, fighting desperately, seeing this scene, Fang Xin couldn't help frowning, but at this time, he must not be called back, and he had to say to the two attendants on the left and right: "You wait and see, write it down, look at Wu Jie and Zhang Yang, a few people tonight, and remember the merits." ”

One hundred and twenty people against forty people, three times the number of people, should have taken it down, but the people defending the city also knew that this was a life-and-death situation, and they would not retreat from the battle, covered in blood, like wolves and tigers, desperately guarding the city gate, and it was difficult to take it for a while.

Fang Xin couldn't help frowning when he saw the sound of killing approaching, and said, "Bring ten archers and quickly clean up the door." ”

Qi Zhiqing immediately gave the order, transferred a team of archers, and then gave an order: "Release!" ”

Ten long arrows pierced through the air and shot intensively at the city gate, and more than a dozen people who were still fighting desperately at the city gate, in the end, were still flesh and blood, and half of them suddenly fell, and at this moment, three or four people saw that they could no longer hold on, roared angrily, and fled out. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the city, and there was a fire. "My lord, there is a riot in the city, and there is a fire!"

Sure enough, on the farther street, the firelight rose, and the smoke and flames could be seen in the night, Fang Xinli ignored it, so he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry down the city gate, after you finish it, cut the gate!" ”

The people below also knew that they were desperately going down, only to hear a "boom", the city gate finally fell, and then several people used knives and stones to slash and destroy the gate.

Fang Xin really breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Tell them to come up quickly and stay at the city gate and wait for death?" ”

Waiting for the people below to go up to the city wall, Fang Xin said to Wu Jie and Zhang Yang: "Wu Jie, you have eight people in your hands, you are really meritorious, Zhang Yang, you are also a great merit for inspection, and you also have five people in your hands!" ”

Wu Jie was splashed with blood and was triumphant, but Zhang Yang said in fear: "My lord, the lower official is guilty!" ”

Fang Xin stopped his words and said indifferently: "This time, these thousand people must be wiped out, which is a great achievement that has not been achieved in this dynasty in the past 20 years. ”

In reality, unlike the others, after the founding of the country, being able to cut dozens of heads during the battle is already considered a great achievement, and it can be upgraded.

After the founding of the country, every 100 soldiers beheaded five people could be recorded once, and every 100 soldiers beheaded 10 people could be recorded as a medium merit, and every 100 soldiers beheaded 20 people could be recorded as a major merit, and the great merit could be promoted to the first level of official position.

In this battle, the real soldiers, in fact, are only two hundred and fifty, the box soldiers are counted in half, and the militia is even more divided into five, so it can be regarded as 800 soldiers and 1,000 heads, in fact, according to military merits, not only the county government has been promoted by one level, but there is also a redundancy, but the so-called great victory in the past 20 years, maybe it can also be counted as a military merit title.

Not to mention the rest, even if Wu Jie and Zhang Yang have more than five people, it is also a great achievement, according to the law of the imperial court, if it is verified to be correct, then it can be promoted by one level, and those who are unofficial can be from the ninth grade.

Hearing this, Zhang Yang was ashamed, happy, and grateful, knowing that the magistrate had helped him cover up the crime of dereliction of duty.

While speaking, the barbarian finally reached the city gate, but suddenly it was like falling into an ice cellar, the city gate was closed, the torches on the city wall were everywhere, and hundreds of archers had moved to the vicinity of the city tower, condescending, ready to shoot arrows.

Rocca was covered in blood, and in a moment, he seemed to be ten years old, and his eyes looked straight around, only to realize that there were only about 200 people left in the 1,000 soldiers who rushed to the city gate with him, and in the back, the sound of fighting had gradually weakened, and he couldn't help but stare upstairs.

"Wait and listen, immediately kneel down and surrender, and you can avoid death!" Fang Xin gave an order, and immediately there was someone in the inspection department who knew barbarian language, and shouted loudly: "Otherwise, you will die immediately and have no place to be buried!" ”

When people reach a desperate place, there are two reactions, one is to immediately swear to the death, and the other is to despair and give up resistance. If it is in a desperate place, coupled with a glimmer of life, then even if it is a person who swears to fight to the death, more than half of them will vent the spirit of this death fight.

At this time, Fang Xin was still cutting off their strength.

Luo Ka stared straight at Fang Xin, who was in plain clothes and had a calm demeanor, looking at the officers and soldiers who were gathering more and more, and suddenly burst into a creepy laugh: "Hahahaha...... You wait for the Han dog, kill my parents, occupy my land, deceive my tribe, and dare to make me surrender today? Boys, rush, even if we die, we will die like men! ”

Provoked by this, the barbarian people, who had already lost half of their fighting spirit, immediately plucked up their courage again and rushed to kill with a shout.

Fang Xin nodded and sighed, "What a good man!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand down without hesitation, and his voice turned clear: "Release!" ”

"Peng", hundreds of arrows, suddenly poured down from the city wall, and immediately pierced Rocca and more than a dozen personal soldiers around him into hedgehogs.

Rocca opened his eyes angrily, and was hit by more than 20 arrows in his body, killing him instantly, but the pillar knife and the ground actually stood tall!

And at this moment, Fang Xin, who was dark in his eyes, was stunned - Yu Ruyi shook suddenly.
