……

Seven days later, under the supervision of Fa Ying, the Chu army gathered all the craftsmen in the counties of Yongzhou, and worked day and night to finally build six trebuchets and set up a position in front of Suoyun Pass, ready to attack.

"This is the weapon that helped Liu Ce attack the city and plunder the land? Okay, use it today to turn the lock cloud pass into ruins. ”

The martingale patted the trebuchet placed in front of the formation, and couldn't help but exclaim.

The next moment, his face sank: "Have you learned how to operate?" ”

Qin Zongquan hurriedly said: "Returning to the prime minister, it may be a little rusty, but it is really enough to break through this small lock cloud pass." ”

Fa Ying nodded: "Then let's test shoot a round first and see how powerful this trebuchet really is." ”

"Yes!"

Qin Zongquan shouted the order, and then commanded the soldiers to start nervously starting to load the projectile.

And on the Suoyun Pass, Wang Chang, who had detected the movements of the Chu army with the help of a speculum, frowned.

He put down the speculum, shook his head, and muttered, "This is trouble, the thief army has trebuchets, and next, it is our turn to be beaten." ”

When Sun Xueyou heard this, he patted the battlement: "It's a pity that this city wall is not made of cement ash, otherwise you can be afraid of this trebuchet." ”

Wang Chang: "Okay, what's the use of talking about this now, hurry up and arrange the fortifications and prepare for the next enemy offensive." ”

Sun Xueyou: "Staying at the head of the city will only become a live target for trebuchets, why don't you all retreat to the city to avoid the rolling of stones?" ”

Wang Chang shook his head: "No, if the enemy army suddenly starts to use crowd tactics, I'm afraid we won't have time to react." ”

Sun Xueyou thought for a while and said, "In this way, leave thirty people at the head of the city to observe the movements of the enemy army, so that even if the thief army launches an offensive, it will be good to have a reaction." ”

Wang Chang nodded: "This can only be the case now, you take your brothers down first, and I will stay at the head of the city." ”

Sun Xueyou immediately refused: "Lao Wang, it is not as useful for you to stay in the city as I am, after all, my eyes are bright." ”

Wang Chang frowned: "You want to disobey the military order?" ”

Sun Xueyou smiled freely: "You really take yourself seriously, and when you return to the military academy and officially confer your military rank, you can put your boss on the shelf." ”

Wang Chang grabbed Sun Xueyou's shirt: "The surname Sun, now is not the time to be reckless, you are the only seedling in your family, if something happens, how should your sister live?" ”

Sun Xueyou shook off Wang Chang's hand: "Are you cursing me to death, you should understand that from the first day we entered the military academy, we were members of the Han Army.

Even if there is a real accident, the pension of the fallen soldiers will be handed over to my sister, with this money, they will live well without my pension, worry about a fart!

Besides, which of us is not an orphan? You are the only one left with your brother and you, why do I have to hide? ”

"But ......"

"No, Wang, don't you want to be a general? Then show a little general's momentum, the so-called war is ruthless,

Strive to let more people survive, kill more enemies, don't be like a girl, so I look down on you, let's go! ”

Sun Xueyou pushed hard and threw Wang Chang aside.

"Alas~ The whole army obeyed the order, leaving thirty brothers who were not afraid of death, and the rest followed me to take refuge temporarily!"

Wang Chang knew very well that the risk of staying in the city was very huge, and Sun Xueyou obviously had the consciousness to die.

And what you should do is to ensure that more people survive and hold out until reinforcements arrive.

As for when the reinforcements will arrive, he really doesn't have any bottom in his heart.

……

On the other side, Zhu Xuan, who was ordered by Wang Chang, has been wandering around the towns and villages near Suoyun Pass for support these days.

However, no matter how hard he tried, instead of inviting reinforcements, he also spread the news of the Chu army's attack to the people, causing a large number of people to migrate to the interior.

On this day, Zhu Xuan, who was really desperate, came to Zixian County with a hard head......

After the county magistrate of Zixian County learned the news, he was also shocked and paced back and forth in the hall in a hurry.

"What? Hasn't the lock cloud pass fallen yet? ”

At this moment, a familiar voice echoed in the county hall, which was Zhu Tong, who escaped that day.

When Zhu Tong saw Zhu Xuan, he was stunned at first, and then his eyes couldn't help but dodge.

Zhu Xuan snorted coldly, and immediately asked, "General Zhu, it's really okay." ”

Zhu Tong hurriedly stopped: "Don't say it again, I know what you want to say, that's right, I'm a bastard, I'm not a thing, but what's wrong with me just wanting to live?" ”

Zhu Xuan was furious: "Who doesn't want to live? But you don't look at your identity, the officials and soldiers of the Han Shu land, in the face of the thief army, fled without a fight,

Don't you feel ashamed to let a group of students fight against a strong enemy for us? The faces of the Shu people have been lost to us! ”

Zhu Tong didn't answer, and sat at the door of the palace with a sigh, holding his head in shame.

Seeing this, the county commander said to Zhu Xuan: "Deputy General Zhu doesn't blame General Zhu, he doesn't feel good in his heart, alas...... It's just that the thief army is powerful, and more than 1,000 people can't hold the Suoyun Pass at all, which is also understandable. ”

Zhu Xuan roared sharply: "A sentence is excusable, it is natural to leave four hundred students in Suoyun Pass, tens of millions of people in Shudi, can we rely on these four hundred students to guard the land for us?" ”

Zhu Tong raised his head suddenly and roared loudly: "Zhu Xuan, you don't have to scold anymore, in fact, I regretted it since I retreated to Zixian!"

Do you know how much I have to endure every day during this time? My mother knew that I would flee without a fight, and now she refuses to even see my face.

My daughter-in-law doesn't recognize me as a husband, and even the soldiers in the army privately scold me for being greedy for life and afraid of death, do you think I will really be at ease?

Wrong, I'm uncomfortable, more uncomfortable than anyone else, I knew it was like this, it was better to die in Suoyun Pass! Alas~"

After venting his emotions, Zhu Tong squatted on the ground again, his eyes turned red.

Zhu Xuan sighed, stepped forward and said to Zhu Tong: "General Zhu, I also understand your feelings, who is not afraid of death?" However, Shu is our homeland, can we bear to watch it be ravaged by the thief army?

Even if you're okay now, what's next? When the war is over, the remnants of the assassination will be investigated, and you will also be unable to escape death.

Even if the capital crime can be avoided, how can I meet my hometown parents in the future? Moreover, if this matter spreads, our Shu people will be scolded wherever they go.

General Zhu, even if you are the last general, please fight for all the faces that our Shu people have lost, okay? Isn't it just an army of 100,000 thieves?

Those students are not afraid, what are we afraid of? What's more, so far, Suoyun Pass has not fallen, which is enough to show that the Chu thieves are a rabble.

I wish the general, go and support Suoyun Pass, you are the main general of Suoyun Pass, you can't just give up! ”

Zhu Tong gritted his teeth, and suddenly got up for a long time: "Yes, I am the main general of Suoyun Pass, and the face of the Shu people cannot be lost because of me, kill back, and fight with those sons of bitches!" ”

Zhu Tong's words immediately made the county commander's eyes shine, and he immediately shouted to the guards outside the door: "Come on, transfer the two hundred servants of this official office to Suoyun Pass,

Listening to General Zhu's instructions, in addition, he quickly informed the squires in Zixian County that if they have money to pay, they don't have money to send people, and how many young people will be sent to Suoyun Pass by this official!

Also, the official has a letter of resignation, asking the rest of the counties to jointly send troops to defend against the enemy, Ma Le is a bastard, the official is out of the way, the big deal is not to wear this official hat, but also to save the face of our Shu people! ”
