Chapter 5: The first to capture the flag will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!

Shoucheng Daying

The lights are bright, and the soldiers are guarding the big tent of the Chinese army.

The stove was blazing, and the blackened firewood made a crackling sound from time to time.

The flickering light made the silent tent look oppressive and dull.

Bang!

A loud bang broke the dead silence.

In front of the desk in the center of the big tent, two burly men with rough temperament quarreled fiercely, and the man sitting in the middle of the desk slammed the table.

The man with his hands on his hips, his face flushed, and a slender scar on the corner of his mouth paced back and forth, yelling angrily: "Wait, what the hell are we going to wait for!"

It's been more than half a month, Xu Haiguo and they are driving a litter of pigs from Jincheng, it's time to arrive! ”

"Then what do you say now, we can't support it, even if we forcibly break through the siege and kill it, do we really let the people of this city slaughter Chen Bing?" The man sitting at the desk shouted back without showing weakness.

The man sitting at the desk was named Zhao Wude, who was the captain of the Shoucheng camp at the time.

And the one who quarreled with him was the second-in-command of the Shoucheng battalion, Deputy Captain Lu Zhenfeng.

At the same time, he is also the nephew of the general soldier of Huijiang Prefecture.

After an inextricable quarrel, the tent fell silent again.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lu Zhenfeng raised his hand and took off the tiger head on his arm, buckled it heavily on the table, and said in a muffled voice:

"I don't care, you are the military commander of Shoucheng, you have to think of a way, you can't let the brothers of this battalion be beaten alive here."

Looking at Lu Zhenfeng, who was a scoundrel, Zhao Wude couldn't cry or laugh.

Although his deputy has a hot temper, sometimes he even quarrels with himself regardless of the occasion, completely ignoring face.

But by no means a bad person.

This time I slapped the table with myself, and I also saw my brothers dying one after another, and I wanted to vent with myself and ask for comfort.

"For today's plan, the best way is to stick to the help, Xu Haiguo has the courage to delay the trip, but he doesn't have the courage to resist and disobey the order.

Wait a little longer, ten days at most, reinforcements from Jincheng will arrive. Got up and pinched Lu Zhenfeng's shoulder, Zhao Wude soothed: "Bear with me, when this siege crisis is resolved, I will go with you to hammer that old bastard of Xu Haiguo to death!" ”

"Really?" His eyes lit up, and Lu Zhenfeng looked up at Zhao Wude.

"When did I tell a lie?" Zhao Wude said with a smile.

"That's fine, it's a word!" After patting the armor, Lu Zhenfeng stood up, kneading his fists and making a crisp click, and the corners of his mouth showed a cruel smile:

"I can't wait to blow Xu Haiguo's bald head."

Knock Knock –

Knock Knock –

Outside the tent, a gong suddenly sounded!

A soldier broke through the curtain of the camp tent and knelt down in front of Zhao Wude and Lu Zhenfeng:

"My lord! Chen Jun is attacking the city again! ”

"Fuck, these crumbs are here again!" Hearing that Chen Bing was coming, Lu Zhenfeng looked furious, got up and picked up the iron spear that was erected, his arm shook, the body of the gun hummed like a dragon's groan, and he walked out of the account with sonorous steps:

"Lao Tzu just has nowhere to spread the fire in his belly, this group of bastards came just in time!"

……

The city wall of Shoucheng.

In the rapid and dense sound of gongs, a large number of Chu soldiers rushed to the city wall, and after several defensive battles, these soldiers quickly prepared for battle.

In the distance, a melodious and dull trumpet sounded.

With the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the tide-like Chen Bing army surged again, looking down from the city wall, like a blood-colored wave that wanted to smash the city wall, crashing hard.

"Damn, the number of these Chen dogs has increased again, did they dig holes and drill here?"

Squatting behind the battlement, Yang Xiu turned his head and glanced at Chen Jun, who was black and pressed below, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Chen's army besieged the city for half a month, with nearly 3,000 dead and wounded.

Although Shoucheng is located in a place close to the state of Chu and Chen, it is not a bordering frontier after all.

How exactly Chen Guo brought over a steady stream of troops has always been a place where the officers and soldiers of the Shoucheng battalion are confused and distressed.

"Compared with the number of Chen soldiers, we have been besieged for half a month, but there have been no reinforcements for a long time, this is the most doubtful." Holding Song Laosan's deer tendon bow, Guan Peng's cheeks agitated, chewing a piece of jerky.

The geographical location of Shoucheng is special, and it is one of the three communication passes leading to the frontier from the mainland of Chu.

Although the city is small and the roads are narrow, it does not have much practical significance as a traffic pass.

However, Shoucheng is surrounded by mountains on the left and water on the right, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Once taken away by the enemy, it is equivalent to piercing a fish bone into the throat, although it is not fatal, but it is like a fish in the throat, and it is extremely uncomfortable.

It stands to reason that when such a strategically important city is besieged, it should be quickly dispatched to support it.

But the fact is that the Shoucheng camp was besieged for half a month, and seven letters for help were sent, but all of them were muddy cows into the sea and disappeared.

The whole Shoucheng is as if it has been abandoned.

No one cares, no one asks.

"I heard, I heard that the Jincheng battalion, which is closest to us, is the first choice for reinforcements, but Xu Haiguo, the captain of the Jincheng battalion, has a personal grudge with our boss Zhao Wude.

This time we were besieged, and the general guard had already ordered Xu Haiguo to send troops to help, but this grandson disobeyed and deliberately delayed the trip, so he never arrived. Mysteriously rolled his eyes, Yang Xiu whispered to Guan Peng about the gossip he had heard.

said that it was gossip, but in fact it was already a fact spread privately by the Shoucheng camp.

Xu Haiguo didn't come to the rescue of Shoucheng for so long, which can be regarded as a delay in the fighter.

From the perspective of military law, even if you don't get beheaded, you must be demoted and severely punished.

But the actual situation is that Xu Haiguo deliberately delayed the trip on the grounds of heavy rain for several days and rough and muddy roads.

When the march is moving, it is impossible for the general guard to monitor and supervise at all times.

In addition, there are also some people in the general guard to help him with his activities.

It is also difficult to define the culpability of delaying the trip and delaying the fighter plane.

"Xu Haiguo ......" wrote down the name, Guan Peng just wanted to speak, a pitch-black arrow cluster suddenly passed through the gap in the wall, grazed the tip of his nose and flew over, and plunged diagonally into the dirt.

Smelling the fishy air, Guan Peng's eyes sank.

The battle is on!

A hundred archers rose from behind the battlements at the same time, bent their bows and arrows.

Whoosh Whoosh –

The black-pressed arrows rained down like a torrential rain and poured down on Chen's camp.

Under the rain of arrows pouring like the Chu army, Chen Bing charged forward again without fear of death, and in a muffled sound of snorting, a large number of Chen soldiers fell to the ground covering their wounds, but soon the latecomers came to the top.

"Take the ladder! Climb the walls! Chen Bing, who was holding a long-handled steel knife, roared angrily.

Guarded by shield guards, the ladder soldiers quickly moved over with a long ladder, digging deep pits in the ground and embedding the corners of the ladders nailed with sheet piles underneath into the earth.

As soon as the ladder was completed, Chen Bing, who was like a wolf and a tiger, had to climb up.

On the city wall, the Chu soldiers mercilessly threw the heavy rolling stones down the ladder, smashed over a string of Chen soldiers who climbed the ladder, and watched them roll down screaming, falling to death and crippled!

"Listen to me!

The general has an order, and whoever catches the flag first will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!

Ten people were killed by the enemy and sealed with a small flag, and twenty people were sealed with a general flag! ”

Seeing that the Chu army on the city wall was attacking fiercely, and gradually suppressed the Chen soldiers who were on the city, the general banner of the Chen soldiers who led the formation immediately laid down a dose of fierce medicine.

When you enlist in the army, who is not for meritorious service, silver official position!

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

With the fierce medicine of the general banner, the charging Chen Bing became even more crazy, his blood-stained face and eyes were red, and the speed of climbing the ladder was nearly twice as fast in an instant.

"Damn! This bunch of mad dogs! Fire oil, who still has fire oil! ”

Chen Bing approached more and more, and the sweat beads on the forehead of a general banner of the waist knife team on the city wall rolled down, and he shouted loudly to all sides.

"It's gone! The last time the oil was attacked, it was all gone! ”

As soon as the voice of the waist knife flag fell, someone responded.

Fire oil is a weapon for defending the city, poured on the ladder, and a single ignition can destroy an entire ladder.

But the amount of this strategic substance is also not large.

Shoucheng, as a traffic pass, although there are a lot of reserves on weekdays, but after more than half a month of siege, the accumulated fire oil has also been exhausted.

"!" Gritting his teeth and scolding, the waist knife general flag tore off the scarf on his head, and said to the waist knife soldier beside him:

"Boys, cheer me up! Lao Tzu secretly hid a jar of ten-year-old wine under the bed, whoever can cut off the heads of three Chen dogs today, Lao Tzu will reward him with a bowl! ”

"One bowl is too little, how can I get two bowls!"

"That's right! I can't even taste the taste in a bowl! ”

"Okay, boss, you dare to hide it privately, I'm not afraid that the tiger master will kick your ass!"

Hearing the promise of the waist knife general banner, a group of waist knife soldiers laughed and coaxed, causing the general banner to grin and scold:

"! Lao Tzu is just that jar of wine, it's good to be able to share your orders.

That's the rule, don't bargain with Lao Tzu. ”

As he spoke, the waist knife chief banner shook his hand and walked to the side, but halfway through, his footsteps suddenly paused, and then he said loudly without looking back:

"You bastards, give me a life!

That jar of wine, Lao Tzu can't drink it alone! ”

The waist knife soldiers looked at each other and smiled, raised the bright and sharp waist knife in their hands in unison, and responded loudly:

"Got it!"

The battle lasted for more than half a month, and no one knew if they would survive this fight.

It is possible that the comrade-in-arms who was talking to you one second will be chopped off by the enemy the next second.

This is the relentlessness of war!

But it is also the mission of these soldiers!

The shouting and killing under the city became more and more intense, and with the encouragement of the general flag, the Chen soldiers who climbed the city wall were full of blood and hideousness, and tried their best to approach upward.

"Grandma, a bear!

What about the people of the archers?!

Lin Teng! Lin Teng! Shoot that grandson to death! ”

Lu Zhenfeng, who was burly and holding an iron gun, had red eyes and roared angrily!

The two armies are fighting, and morale is extremely important!

The Chu army has been besieged for a long time, and its morale has already declined a lot, and it is already a head weaker than the screaming Chen army.

If Chen Jun's general banner is allowed to continue to be so encouraging, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Chu army.

"It's coming!"

Before Lu Zhenfeng's words fell, a vigorous and agile figure jumped out of the battle line of the archer team, this person had a tiger's back and a bee's waist, round arms, full of explosive sense of strength, holding a black panther tendon short bow, his face was sharp and angular, cold and tough.

Lin Teng!

Captain of the Shoucheng Camp Archers!

"Heh, the captain made a move, shouting at the top of his voice that guy was going to finish playing." Looking at the captain, Yang Xiu's eyes flashed with admiration.

In the army, 10 people set up a small flag, and 100 people set up a general flag.

A team of 500 to 1,000 people is formed.

That is to say, those who can be captains have at least 500 people under their command.

And Lin Teng is the shortest enlisted time among the five captains, but he is also the one with the largest number of enemies.

There are even rumors in the army that if one of the two captains, Zhao Wude and Lu Zhenhui, is promoted, Lin Teng will be the next deputy captain of the Shoucheng battalion.

"He's Lin Teng?" Looking at the captain with wheat-colored skin and sharp eyes, Guan Peng's eyes moved slightly.

In the last siege battle, he had just crossed over and hadn't figured out the situation, and when he was almost slashed and killed by two Chen soldiers, those two life-saving arrows were from the hands of this captain Lin Teng.
