Chapter 14: Reinforcements are late
The full number of soldiers in Pingzhou Prefecture was 800 people, and they had lost a lot of money in the raids of the bureaucrats before, and now only about 500 people were able to participate in the battle.
Feeling that the troops were insufficient, Lu Guocheng requisitioned more than 2,000 people in the city, which was able to hold the city.
However, because it is the defending side, the weapons are also sharper than the wingmen, and the most important thing is that there is Zhu Tiangang's Dinghai God Needle, so the morale of the defenders is high, and the wingmen who are besieging the city will be killed in pieces under the city for a while.
As the distance drew nearer, the bows and arrows in the hands of the wingmen began to wield, and the soldiers and civilians in the city also let out screams from time to time and fell...
Shouts of killing, wailing... All kinds of voices are full of wilderness, and how can they be described by simple tragedy?...
Zhu Tiangang knew that this kind of offensive and defensive war was not only tactical, but also the most life-consuming, but Pingzhou could not afford it.
There are undead, but the reincarnation of the dignified Marshal Tianpeng is really embarrassing to let these uncivilized bureaucrats be pressed and beaten like this.
"Someone, bring my horse"
"Is the general going out of the city?"
"Exactly"
"From this?"...
While speaking, there were already guards who led Zhu Tiangang's war horse to the city wall, and this horse was blessed by Zhu Tiangang with a spell, and it was no longer an ordinary war horse...
In the gaze of the soldiers and civilians in Pingzhou, Zhu Tiangang flew on his horse, picked up a thick mace, and smiled contemptuously in the shouting and killing sound in the sky, pointed the mace forward, and his legs were slightly forced, urging the war horse to jump down the city, and then, a very strange scene appeared.
I saw the war horse flying with four hooves, and in a blink of an eye it was at the city wall, but as soon as the front hooves reached the wall battlement, it seemed that he suddenly regretted it, and then he stopped suddenly, lowered his head, and raised his buttocks, and then General Zhu, who was in the spotlight, was like a stone that was thrown out, "Whew!" and fell towards the wingmen under the city with his teeth and claws.
"Oh, I think I saw a pig fly out."
"Nonsense, it's General Zhu, not a pig"
"Good, powerful, General Zhu is mighty..."
The soldiers and civilians in the city shouted loudly, look at General Zhu, the way he appeared was so peculiar...
Not to mention the military and civilians, Zhu Tiangang never expected that the war horse would temporarily change his hexagram, could it be that after he blessed the spell, he opened his mind?
"You wait for Lao Tzu..."
Unable to cast spells, Zhu Tiangang could only let his body fall freely, but the moment he landed, he still added some mana...
"Poof!"
With Zhu Tiangang's landing, the entire battlefield seemed to have an earthquake suddenly, and the huge shock wave shook the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the siege wingmen also fell from the ladder one after another, and the battlefield that was originally filled with the sound of killing was instantly flooded with dust...
The dust dissipated, and the soldiers and civilians in the city looked at each other, but saw that the place where General Zhu fell just now had been smashed out of a huge earth pit, and the earth pit was full of the corpses of the wingmen.
Soon, I saw General Zhu slowly crawl out of the corpse of the wingman, shook his head, picked up the mace in his hand and killed the remaining wingmen...
"General Zhu is mighty..."
After a brief moment of consternation, the city once again erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
It's amazing, this General Zhu is simply a god descending from heaven, and the three-zhang high city wall jumped off not only unscathed, but also smashed such a big hole, amazing! Could it be that his old man is really a pig? Otherwise, why is it so heavy...
The soldiers and civilians of Pingzhou felt extremely excited, but the most reverent of ghosts and gods was extremely frightened at this time, and the feeling in everyone's hearts was, is this guy a human?
There is no need for anyone to give an order, the soldiers on the battlefield and the siege began to turn around and scatter the girl, and the one who ran was called fast, and Zhu Tiangang couldn't catch up if he didn't use spells...
In fact, Zhu Tiangang only symbolically chased and killed, because he already felt that the person who gave the order in the mountains and forests before had slipped away when he crawled out of the pit unharmed, obviously afraid that Zhu Tiangang would play another decapitation or something...
At this moment, Zhu Tiangang, who had already stopped, suddenly felt a slight vibration under his feet, frowned slightly, turned his head to look, but saw another team of people killed in the distance.
"Reinforcements, it's our reinforcements..."
There is no need for the soldiers and civilians in the city to shout, Zhu Tiangang has already recognized that this team is playing the banner of the Tang Dynasty.
How do you feel that these reinforcements are like the policemen in the movie, always showing up after they are done...
The Tang army that came was about 2,000, and the leader was a young black-faced general, and a big banner with the word "Cheng" written on it was erected in the team behind him.
surnamed Cheng, could it be Cheng Biting Jin's son?
The iron horse was like the wind, and the team was close in a blink of an eye, and then it was divided into two, one to chase and kill the fleeing wingman, and the black-faced young general surnamed Cheng came straight to Zhu Tiangang.
There is no way, Zhu Tiangang is standing among the corpses of the wingmen everywhere like a flock at this time, and it is difficult not to get people's attention.
"You are the Zhu Tiangang who rode alone to capture the chieftain of the wingman?"
The black-faced young general said condescendingly, his voice was rough, and his big eyes looked Zhu Tiangang up and down very impolitely, but his eyes were full of appreciation.
Zhu Tiangang knew that Cheng Biting Jin's family was so virtuous, his neck was stalked, and he said loudly: "Yes! Who are you?"
You are coarse, I am coarser than you, who treats you and what, if you want to have a good relationship with Cheng Yanjin's family, Wen Xuan's set will definitely not work...
"Haha..."
Sure enough, the black-faced teenager was stunned for a moment by Zhu Tiangang's rhetorical question, then laughed, then turned over and dismounted, patted Zhu Tiangang's arm, and said with a smile: "What a man, there are not many people who dare to talk to the master like this, you are a friend, Master Cheng has made a deal."
Zhu Tiangang was secretly happy in his heart, but he said with an unhappy expression on his face: "Lao Tzu doesn't know who you are, why do you make friends?"
The black-faced young general smiled slightly and said: "Others call me Cheng Chumo, but I prefer the name Cheng Xiaohu, my father named it, how is it, amazing, right?"
Cheng Xiaohu, shouldn't he be called Cheng Tieniu?
Zhu Tiangang knew that Cheng Yanjin was illiterate, what his nickname was, purely based on his mood...
Nodding his head, he said: "Xiaohu! This name is good, as the name suggests, you must be quite a tiger."
Cheng Chumo didn't know that there were many interpretations of the word "tiger", and when he heard Zhu Tiangang say this, he thought he was praising him.
grinned and said: "You are a good person, let's have a few drinks in a while, you don't know, with my father, there are too many rules, if I hadn't heard that Pingzhou had a tiger general, my father would not let me come out!"
"Can you drink?"
"Oh, I'm gone, dare you look down on me..."
The two were talking about flowers, and the gate of Pingzhou City was opened, and then Lu Guocheng rushed out of it with a team of people.
"See Major General!"
Far away, Lu Guocheng hugged his fists.
Before Cheng Chumo could answer, Zhu Tiangang was "surprised" and asked, "What young general?"
"Don't listen to them, let's go in and drink, who is that, you set up my subordinates, and you don't care about the rest"
Cheng Chumo said and hugged Zhu Tiangang's shoulders affectionately, and said as he walked towards the city: "Tell me how you caught that bird chieftain?"
Cheng Chumo's figure is about the same as Zhu Tiangang, and his appearance is a bit illegal, not to mention, walking with Zhu Tiangang really looks like two brothers...
