Eighty-nine, offense and defense

"My lord, the people are about to get to the city gate, please make a decision quickly. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at the people who were approaching step by step, the Laichuan County garrison said anxiously.

"Let's do it. Laichuan County Ling Yi gritted his teeth and said, "There are people outside the city, there are people inside the city, and there are many more, if the city is broken, more people will be poisoned by the barbarians." ”

"Yes, the last will obey. The Laichuan garrison commanded, "Listen, everyone, and when the people besieging the city are within fifty paces, they will release their arrows." ”

Those archers who had been prepared for a long time roared to receive the order, looking at these people who were carrying the beams and trees to force forward, the defenders on the wall were also uneasy in their hearts, although they were a little unbearable, but after all, they still put their lives first, and they were really afraid that the county commander would give an order not to attack, and the city would be broken by these coerced people, so I am afraid that everyone will have to finish playing.

"Wait, let's give it a try. There were two people coming out of the crowd, but these two people were Lan Zhengshui and Lan Zhenghuo brothers, who were originally monks from Laichuan County, and they happened to be in the city at this time, and they also came to the city to watch the battle. Originally, monks generally did not participate in the war between the ordinary people of the two races, although there were also barbarian monks behind the barbarian invasion, but they generally did not do it directly, if the monks participated, it would only make the situation more and more serious, if it turned into a war between the monks of the two races, I am afraid it would be out of control.

The monks have a long life, and they generally do not fight for their lives unless they are forced to do so, but the place where the barbarians live is really desolate, and the barbarian monks lack cultivation resources, so they often provoke border wars and take advantage of the chaos to collect some resources in the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom. Moreover, this matter of collecting resources is generally done by these barbarian armies, and they do not act themselves. The monks of the Great Xia Kingdom generally acquiesced to this situation, and they would not personally deal with these barbarian armies, but only let the secular army deal with the invasion of the barbarians, after all, they already occupied good resources, and if they persecuted the barbarian monks too much, cut off their cultivation path, and forced them to work hard, it was also what the Great Xia monks did not want to see.

Of course, this is all a tacit understanding on the surface, it does not mean that the barbarian monks will strictly abide by this unspoken rule, they will also secretly lurk in the mortal army, taking the opportunity to snatch the resources in the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom. And the monks of Great Xia will also secretly organize to deal with those barbarian monks who sneak in, but both sides are still relatively restrained, and this behavior is controlled within a controllable range, and the two sides have not had much conflict for thousands of years. However, there is one thing that both sides generally strictly abide by, that is, the monks of the barbarian tribe will not do anything to the ordinary people of Great Xia, and the monks of Great Xia will not deal with the mortals of the barbarian race.

However, this time, the Lan brothers were young and vigorous, and when they saw the barbarian army using such cruel means to attack the city and drive the people of Great Xia to kill each other, they really couldn't help it, so they stood up and prepared to stop it.

"It's really good that the two immortal chiefs are willing to make a move, and the lower officials thanked the two on behalf of the people of Laichuan. The Laichuan County Order was overjoyed when he saw the Lan brothers stand up. If he didn't give the order to kill the people who were besieging the city, and when the county town was broken, even if he could escape with his life, he would not be able to escape the sanction of the imperial court. Now that the Lan brothers have stood up and saved the lives of those people who are besieging the city, and saved the county seat of Laichuan, it is really the best of both worlds.

The two brothers Lan Zhenghuo and Lan Zhengshui didn't answer, they jumped off the city wall, fell to the ground with two "bang, bang" sounds, and jumped towards the barbarian cavalry behind the driven people.

"Immortals, immortals are here to save us. The people who were driven to attack the city saw the Lan brothers jumping down from the city wall, and they were all overjoyed, and they threw the beams and trees they were carrying on the ground and ran towards the city wall. After all, they are also the people of Great Xia, and as long as there is another way out, they are not willing to deal with their compatriots.

The barbarian knights who drove behind did not dare to act rashly, although there were dozens of them, it was not enough to deal with two monks.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a black shadow jumping out of the barbarian cavalry army, and after a few vertical jumps, it crossed the dozens of barbarian cavalry and the people who were driven away, and fell in front of the Lan brothers.

"Barbarian Monk!" a thought rose in the Lan brothers' hearts.

"Two fellow Daoists, don't you want to break the rules and make a move against the mortals of our clan?" The barbarian monk didn't make a move immediately, but just stopped in front of the Lan clan's Kunzhong.

"Hmph, you deceive people too much, drive our people to kill each other, and the methods are too despicable, our brothers really can't look at it, you get out of the way. Lan Zhengshui said angrily, at this time, the dozens of barbarian cavalry saw that there were also monks on their side, and they urged the horses to step forward to drive away the people of Great Xia.

Seeing this, the Lan brothers were furious and urged their vitality, and the two of them attacked the barbarian monk left and right. At this time, two years have passed since the Xigeng faction entrance competition, and the two brothers have cultivated to the realm of advanced Xiaocheng back then, but now they are still some distance away from entering the Dacheng. The cultivation of the barbarian monk was a cut above the two, but he was quite comfortable dealing with the two Lan brothers. Those barbarian cavalry caught up with the scattered people of Daxia in front of them, drove the people back together, and carried the siege equipment to the city gate again.

The heart of the Laichuan county order on the city wall that had been put down was raised again, and the garrison asked the county order for an order, and the people who were besieging the city came within fifty steps of the city wall, and they were greeted by a rain of arrows, and suddenly the sound of crying sounded.

"Stop it, we are all the people of Great Xia. ”

"Hey, grandma, if you really do it, aren't you afraid of God's curse? ”

Suddenly, the cries and curses became one, and some people ran backwards, but what was waiting for them behind them was the knives of the barbarian cavalry, but all the people who retreated were cut off by the barbarian cavalry. Seeing that it is not possible to retreat, those people ran to the bottom of the city wall again, it is definitely not possible to retreat, and they will definitely die, so they can only rush forward, and those barbarian cavalry behind must not dare to get too close to the city wall, and they are also afraid of the defenders' arrows.

Some of the people threw down the beams and trees in their hands and rushed forward, but before they could run a few steps, they were killed by the arrows fired by the barbarian cavalry behind them.

"Those who dare to flee will be killed. "The cavalry behind not only has knives, but they are also good at riding and archery, and the bows and arrows in their hands can also kill.

The besieging people were forced to carry the beams and trees to the city gate. At this time, there was a sudden silence on the city wall, and the soldiers who were defending the city stopped firing arrows. The people carrying siege equipment seemed to see the hope of survival, and suddenly their strength increased a little, and they ran towards the city gate with more strength under their feet.

Just as he was about to approach the city gate, suddenly there was an uproar on the city wall, and rolling stones and sassal trees were thrown down like raindrops, and the people besieging the city were smashed to the ground. Immediately after that, I saw that a cauldron was erected on the city wall, and it fell down at an angle, and suddenly the hot boiling oil was poured down and poured on the people under the city wall, so hot that people and ghosts cried wolf. I saw that the porcelain jars thrown down from the city wall fell to the ground and smashed them, and suddenly the white ash splashed everywhere, and there was a burning sensation in the eyes, but the porcelain jars contained lime powder. Unexpectedly, the county town of Laichuan was very well prepared, and a lot of defending equipment such as rolling stones, sassal wood, gold juice, and ash bottles were prepared, and the besieging side could not get close to the city wall at all.

These people are a rabble, they have no military training at all, where can they stand this, they immediately scattered and fled, and even those barbarian cavalry shooting arrows in the back to supervise the formation did not work. Even if you are killed by an arrow, it is better than being smashed by a rolling stone and a piece of wood.

"General, these summer dog people are too bad to be usable. Do you want the sons to rush it?" asked the bald knight for advice to the bearded man.

"No, I see that the summer dog arrows guarding the city have not been used much, if our sons and daughters rush forward, I am afraid that there will be serious casualties, this is our capital, if it is easily broken, I am afraid that it will be eaten by other tribes and even the bones and dregs will not be left." This time it is overwhelming, let's retreat. ”

When the bald man got the order, he took out a hollowed-out horn from his bosom, put it to his mouth and blew it, and suddenly a low trumpet sounded, and the barbarian cavalry turned their horses' heads one by one when they heard the trumpet, and followed behind the bearded man. The hundreds of cavalry ran away in a moment like a gust of wind, and the barbarian monk followed behind and disappeared. Lan Zhengshui and Lan Zhenghuo brothers couldn't do anything to each other when they joined forces, so they naturally didn't dare to pursue, for fear of falling into an ambush.

When those barbarians ran away without a trace, the Laichuan County Order ordered the city gate to be opened, let the people under the city in, and summoned Langzhong in the city to treat the injuries of the people, and ordered to set up a cauldron and set up a porridge shed for porridge. The people who ordered the attack on the siege were also helpless, but they were inevitably attacked by political enemies afterwards, and now they have to find ways to make up for it and minimize the impact.

This is just one of the few clashes that have taken place at the border in the past year, but fortunately the city has not been broken and there have been no major casualties. After some cities were captured by the barbarian army, the people in the city were slaughtered, and the blood flowed like a river, and gradually the garrison of the Great Xia Kingdom also reflected, on the one hand, they quickly organized an army to resist, and on the other hand, they quickly reported the barbarian invasion to the Great Xia court.
