"My lord, the city is already on guard, and as soon as it gets closer, it rains down on a canopy of arrows, and almost doesn't lose a few lives......
Zhao Shi waved his hand to signal these soldiers to return, and didn't look at the corpses under the horse, "Let's go, let's go and have a look together." ”
At this time it is already summer, the lonely mountain is more beautiful and the painting in general, the spring water in the mountains is dingdong, the mist is steaming, the flowers are all over the field, the grass and trees are swaggering, the county seat on the halfway mountainside is located on the gentle slope of the southern foot of the lonely mountain, the city wall is not tall, but it is made of stones, the back is against the mountain wall, the surrounding springs are surrounded, to the appearance that some dangers can be defended.
Behind the low city wall, the figures rushed to and fro, as soon as the Qin army arrived, the voices above were even more crowded, and they were very flustered, but when Zhao Shi and others led the troops to the bottom of the mountain, the voices above were gone, and rows of knives and guns stretched out behind the city wall, and in the silence, the birds in the mountains were quite piercing.
"Hu Li, Red Devil, Wolf, a few of you bring someone up to have a look."
"Yes." A few people shouted a promise, and quickly disappeared among the mountains and trees with a few scouts.
"Brigade Marshal, give me a hundred people, and I will definitely bring down that Shen Chong's head to you." Du Shanhu said loudly.
Zhao Shi shook his head, all the counties were weakly guarded, and his army suffered few casualties, only a few soldiers were slightly injured, and one of himself fell off his horse and broke his neck in the chase. This is the first person to die in the Jing Zhao Army, which makes people laugh and cry, he doesn't believe that this Wanquan County will be better than other counties, he only has more than 1,500 people under his command, and the cruel war is still to come, and the casualties in these counties are a little worthless.
"Wait for Hu to leave them and come back, everyone will dismount and rest, and the three of you will set up a sentry. Duan Rui, you take some people to make some ladders, maybe in the end, you still have to test if our soldiers of the Jingzhao Army are not afraid of death......
Everyone immediately obeyed the order and left one after another. Wu Wenhuan and the others looked at it coldly, they can be said to be the most well-informed people in their own county, this first time appeared on the ground in Hedong, the Qin army did not mention how powerful it was, it was strictly disciplined, it was forbidden to order, and it was quite elite, although it was not a crime, but it was not as brutal as the Jurchens. When the army crosses the border, there will always be some misery, and they will follow all the way here, and they will have a lot less fear.
However, Zhao Shi's next words were to let them know that a soldier was indeed still a soldier, whether it was from Daqin. It's still Daikin's.
After a while, Hu left them and sent someone to the city to shout and ask them to hand over all the Jurchens and Hu officials, otherwise. After the city was broken, all the homes of Wanquan County officials, chickens and dogs were not left. ”
Wu Wenhuan also sighed when he heard this, the thoughts of cold-blooded and brutal soldiers are really not something that ordinary people like them who study and trade can understand, but fortunately, there are no words like slaughtering the city, otherwise this Han general and the Jurchens will not be much different.
Within the county seat of Wanquan. The county ordered Shen Chong and Lord Shen to be dressed in a green body. With a long sword at his waist, he had a tense face. Hurriedly came to the city wall, behind him, in addition to a few officials wearing black and red soap shirts and the county chief bookkeeper and other officials, there were also two Jurchen nobles with braids on their heads, pale faces, and panicked expressions, although their bloated bodies were also wearing armor, but looking at their expressions, it was really impossible for people to associate with the rumored brave Jurchens.
"Lord Shen, I see that the city wall of the county is low, and we have few soldiers in our hands, so it is better to ......" One of the Jurchen nobles squeezed a fat face, with a layer of oil and sweat on his face, and tried to put his neck in the ear of Shen Chong, who was walking quickly, and whispered.
Wherever this group of people walked by, the young men who hurriedly transported arrows, stones, wooden sticks and other things to the city wall to defend the city all bowed their heads respectfully and bowed and dodged to the side, which showed that Shen Chong was extremely popular in the county.
Hearing this, Shen Chong's figure froze suddenly, a trace of dark red flashed across his originally gentle face, and he turned his head to stare at this Jurchen nobleman and said, "Ulinka, you should have a thousand soldiers under your command, but now what are the numbers?" How much pay did you eat? This county sees that you are from the army, so I didn't care about you, and you still dare to say such things now, which weakens my morale, and although this county is a civil official, it can't tolerate you. ”
This person is also ruthless, as he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword on his waist, the blue light flashed, and a sword stabbed the frightened Ulrincha to the heart, everyone around was shocked, Shen Chong turned his face, and wiped the blood splashed on his face, his usually gentle face was distorted and deformed, his eyes swept over, and no one dared to look at him.
"Shen Chong is the Wanquan County Order of His Majesty, there are herdsmen guarding the land, and they should live and die together in the county, if they are half-hearted, they should be the same as this person."
Everyone's eyes turned around on the dead body of Wu Lincha on the ground, and they all nodded one after another, especially the remaining Jurchen Qianhu, not to mention that Shen Chong was so hard, the courage and courage of the past had long since gone with the comfortable life in Wanquan, this is when the lips are blue and the face is white, under Shen Chong's attention, there is only a promise.
Everyone followed Shen Chong to the city wall, the township soldiers in those counties got out of the way, Shen Chong took the lead, he was a civil official, and he didn't know how many things about the battle formation, looking at the Qin army clustered together at the foot of the mountain, but he was not afraid, and said to a strong man who came forward: "Zhang Shu, how is the situation?" ”
"Your Excellency, there are a lot of Qin troops outside, but what ability is there to know that they are good at defending the city, and the cavalry is also very powerful, but the infantry is attacking the city? We haven't seen it yet. "This Zhang Shu is the remaining adjutant of the Jurchen Thousand Households, there is a title of 100 households in the Han Army, he has just returned from the expedition with the army, and there are still many people like him in Hezhong Mansion who have been requisitioned with the army, and now they have returned to their original places, and it just so happened that when he returned to Wanquan, he was just in time for the Qin army to plunder the land. After traveling day and night, Wanquan was prepared, but when he said this, he didn't look at his own thousands of officials.
"You say we......
Although Shen Chongdi's words were not completely spoken, no one would understand the meaning, Zhang Shu smiled slightly and replied: "It seems that this is the vanguard of the Qin army, there are not many people, and the march is fast here." It can also be called elite, but the terrain of our county is good, and there are county commanders here, united as one, and we should be able to guard it for a few days. But as soon as the army arrives, I'm afraid.
While the city was talking, there were already four people below who came to the city not far from the city with white flags, and the soldiers in the city involuntarily clenched their weapons, seeing that Shen Chong and the others were tight, Zhang Shu inadvertently waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, these people are here to speak." ”
Sure enough, the people under the city did not come forward again. Standing in place with his neck straight, he shouted: "Listen to the people in the city, my general said, hand over all the Jurchens and Hu people in the city, otherwise, after the city is broken, the officials of Wanquan County will raid their homes and exterminate the clan." Chickens and dogs will not be left, my general will only give you an hour to think carefully, and after an hour, immediately attack the city. ”
I shouted this more than ten times. Without shouting once, the faces of everyone in the city twitched, and finally everyone unanimously fixed their eyes on the Jurchen Qianhu beside Shen Chong, this Jurchen Qianhu first turned white, and then the fierce light flashed in his eyes, and finally revealed the inherent fierce side of the Jurchens, and a few ill-intentioned eyes immediately moved away.
But such murderous words made everyone feel like a rabbit in their hearts. I was a little nervous. Even Zhang Shu's face twitched, only Shen Chong didn't care. shook the cyan official uniform on his body, and said lightly: "It's just a bluff, we are all officials of the imperial court, eating the court's food, this is the time to serve the imperial court, don't listen to the Qin people's provocation......
In front of Zhao Shima, the fox and the others gathered again, they all shook their heads, behind this Wanquan County is a cliff and cliff, surrounded by springs, only this road up the mountain can go, this Wanquan County is also strange, and it is not a road checkpoint, but it is to build the county seat in such a difficult place.
Zhao Shi looked up at the sky, it was almost dusk at this time, frowned, and waved his hand: "Du Shanhu, you are lazy, you each pick a hundred people to attack the city, Zhang Fengju, Duan Rui, you each pick a hundred people as a reserve, all prepare torches, and make a bang, if you can't get down to this Wanquan County today, even the township soldiers can't compare, I think it's better for our Jingzhao army to go back to the house directly." ”
When several people heard this, their faces turned red, they were all from the regular army, and they fought with the township army in some counties, if they made a mess again, they didn't need to mention any meritorious achievements, but the lazy smile next to him was extremely bright, for him, it didn't matter if he was anywhere else, as long as he could let him kill to his heart's content, it was better than anything else.
Bringing people to the land of a stone's throw, Du Shanhu waved his hand to stop the neat military column, followed him lazily, and looked at the city with a hideous blood.
The arrows shot from several cities fell weakly in front of him, Du Shanhu smiled contemptuously, pulled out the saber at his waist, turned around and shouted loudly: "Fengzi battalion, there is no advance or retreat." ”
"The sharp word battalion, there is no advance or retreat." The roar of a beast resounded through the mountains, making the warm summer breeze seem to reveal a little coolness.
First it was a small stride, then it turned into a run, and the usual hard training finally showed its benefits at this moment, although it was uphill, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the soldiers did not have any difficulty.
The city roared again and again, and the arrows flew down with a whizz, but in the end it was not a regular army, and the arrows shot were not neat, and most of them were blocked by the Qin soldiers with the light shields in their hands, but some people still fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, adding the first wisp of blood to the location of this quiet lonely mountain.
The surging, but layered crowd quickly approached the low city wall, and the faces that were full of excitement and nervousness became clearer and clearer, Zhang Shu pulled out his three-stone bow, took a slight aim, and released his fingers.
The tall and strong-armed man put the shield where it should have been placed at the moment when the arrow was on the side, and his sharp and fierce gaze swept over this not too far distance, staring at Zhang Shu's face, like a knife scraping, which made Zhang Shu's face hurt.
They had practiced such a small-scale battle countless times, and almost without the orders of the officers, two warriors appeared in sequence on the ladder erected, and there were even arhats stacked in the gap between the ladders, and the three of them quickly climbed and instantly put the top one on the top of the city.
Du Shanhu stared at the guy who fired a cold arrow at him, and with a sweep, a huge figure not far away stood on top of the city with a flexibility and agility that did not match him, and then when the figure on the city head was thrown away, a rain of blood was sprinkled.
"He ......" muttered in his mouth, and pulled a soldier down from the ladder, Du Shanhu used his hands and feet together, and instantly reached out and grabbed the edge of the city, with both arms forced, turned over and went up to the city wall, and used his body to push a guy down, the horizontal knife in his hand splashed out with a slip of cold light, and immediately two defenders covered their throats and fell off the city.
More and more Qin army figures appeared on the city, swinging out the sharp horizontal knives in their hands, often able to cut off the opponent's wooden spears and inferior swords and their masters together, the hard training gave them great strength and abundant body, the Qin army's high-quality weapons and equipment made them almost no casualties, only more than 20 people, and the defenders on the city head were stirred into a pot of porridge.
Shen Chong and some officials in the county have been crowded under the city wall by the crowd at this time, seeing the soldiers on the city wall screaming from time to time and falling or falling, the boss with his eyes open, after glancing at Zhang Shu who had retreated to his side, Zhang Shu was stabbed, his entire arm was red with blood, his face was distorted and deformed in pain, and his eyes looked at the Qin soldiers who were killed arbitrarily on the city wall in horror, he never thought that the other party would defeat the city wall guarded by hundreds of people with only one impact.
Shen Chong didn't look at a few officials who had almost collapsed to the ground in fright, but their legs and feet involuntarily moved back, and looked behind him hesitantly, a group of villagers in the county clenched the wooden sticks, iron forks and other things in their hands, and their faces were as white as paper.
With a long sigh, "Go and open the gates, we'll ...... Lowered ......
After saying this, his body straightened up again, his face was miserable, and he turned around and walked in the direction of the county office.
