Chapter 209 Survival is at stake, and life is for the people!

Outside the city of Jingzhou, the army of Kui Guogong has arrived.

In the mighty Black Water Iron Cavalry, there were nine generals lined up, and at the front was Xue Mubai, the Duke of Kuiguo, who was wearing golden armor and riding a red horse.

Xue Mubai wears a cooked copper lion helmet, a gold-plated beast-faced belt around his waist, two bronze heart goggles on the front and back, a carved bow on the left, a pot and arrow on the right, and a dragon golden whip tied around his waist, which is majestic.

In the battle for the founding of the Great Xia that year, Xue Mubai made many great achievements, his martial arts were extraordinary, and he had become a grandmaster in middle age, and now his strength is even more unfathomable!

"Herald! Jiang Han killed state-level officials, controlled the people of Jingzhou, imprisoned the generals of the Black Water Army, and had already rebelled, breaking through Jingzhou City and annihilating the Shenwu Army! Xue Mubai said.

With Xue Mubai's order, ten stone cannons directly smashed the city gate, and the entire Jingzhou Mansion shook like an earthquake.

In Jingzhou City, no one expected that the Blackwater Army would attack the city at this time, and without saying anything first, they directly surrounded Jingzhou City and stormed.

Jiang Han did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered the Shenwu Army to hold Jingzhou City.

After hearing Jiang Han's words, the officials in the mansion all looked incredulous.

Kui Guogong rebelled? Defend against the Blackwaters?

Jiang Han really wants to fight the Blackwater Army? He's crazy, isn't he?

You must know that he only has 30,000 Shenwu troops with him, but outside is Xue Mubai's 100,000 black water army!

And Xue Mubai is actually not more than 100,000 Black Water Army, the Black Water Army is just Xue Mubai's elite army, in addition to 200,000 border guards!

If the battle is on fire, Xue Mubai will inevitably transfer 200,000 border guards, and then 300,000 troops will attack the city together, how can they resist with only 30,000 Shenwu troops?

Although the Shenwu Army has a saying that one is ten, but for ordinary soldiers, the Shenwu Army is the elite, and the Blackwater Army is also the elite!

It stands to reason that Jiang Han should show weakness and surrender at this moment, as long as he softens, it is impossible for Kui Guogong to kill him, after all, he is not only the son of Weiguo now, but also the princess and concubine, but also the poet of Great Xia, but he actually chose to resist?

Does he want to fight with Xue Mubai's army of 300,000?

"Jiang Han, the old man advises you to calm down and don't mess around! It's better to surrender to the Duke of Kui and take the initiative to surrender, otherwise once the fight starts, you will inevitably lose countless soldiers, and if the Southern Barbarians take the opportunity to attack my Great Xia, you will definitely suffer heavy losses, and then you will become a sinner for the ages! ”

Ding Ce spoke, and at the same time put pressure on Jiang Han.

Jiang looked at Ding Ce coldly, surrendering softly? Kui Guogong's posture is obviously to destroy himself, at this time, surrender softly, Jiang Han dares to guarantee that Kui Guogong will not only not let him go, but will also take the opportunity to kill him!

Because if the Duke of Kui Guo had the intention of surrendering to softness, he would not have attacked the city without saying a word!

This is already a clear intention to kill people, and even Kui Guogong has the idea of rebellion!

And more importantly, the reason for Kui Guogong to send troops is very legitimate.

If you kill yourself and the Shenwu Army here, you can not only cover up the secret of the human flesh alchemy case, but also cut off one of your father's arms!

"Ding Ce, do you still want to mislead me with such words at this time? Do you really think of me as a three-year-old? ”

"If Kui Guogong wants to fight, then fight! Hit him upside down! See who wins and who loses in the end! ”

Jiang Han was not afraid, he had already made preparations, and informed Zhou Hu to go to Lanzhou to inform his father about this matter, as long as his father knew about this matter, he would definitely lead troops to help.

Now all we have to do is defend the city! Hold on until your father comes to the rescue.

"Look at these people, once they make a move, kill them directly!"

Jiang Han commanded loudly, and then walked outside, only to see that the street outside was already in chaos, and the sound of artillery bombardment and shouting and killing could be heard from afar.

The Shenwu army continued to run, fetching stones, giant trees, and fire oil to the city to defend against the enemy.

"Let's go to the wall." Jiang Han said with a stern face.

"My lord, there is danger on the walls! Please stay in the Assassin's Mansion. Chen Liang anxiously stopped.

"Chen Liang, it's okay, I'll go up and have a look." Jiang Han shook his head, what if he stayed in the Assassin's Mansion? Once the Blackwater Army invades Jingzhou City, it is useless to hide there.

He climbed onto the city wall, looked down, and saw the mighty black water iron horse, densely packed with a large area, just looking at it, he felt extremely shocked.

"This is an army of 100,000?"

"That's too much, isn't it?"

"Even if it's four or three grades, under the siege of so many armies, I'm afraid there is only one way to die, right?"

Jiang Han couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Lord Shaohui also followed to the city wall, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said, "Can this war be fought?" ”

The siege of the Blackwater Army was extremely ferocious, ten stone cannons were lined up, bombarding in turns, and the entire city wall was crumbling, as if it could collapse at any time in this fierce blow.

And the Shenwu army in the city took turns to smash stones, release arrows, and throw fire oil, and in an instant, they were killed and wounded.

This battle to defend the city continued, Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief, although the attack of the Black Water Army was fierce, it would be difficult to break through the city gate for a while.

However, at this moment, Kui Guogong in the Blackwater Army stretched out his hand, and then the Blackwater Army marched up with shields.

"Huh?" Jiang Han felt a little strange.

Chen Liang's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Oh no! Kui Guogong is only afraid that he will use a row of crossbows! Your Excellency, you better get out of the city walls quickly! ”

"Rows of crossbows?"

Jiang Han frowned, he didn't know what a row crossbow was, but looking at Chen Liang's frightened appearance, he was afraid that it was a very lethal bow and crossbow.

Chen Liang was shocked and angry, shocked that Kui Guogong actually brought a row of crossbows, and angry that Kui Guogong used such an extremely terrifying weapon against the soldiers of Great Xia.

"My lord, this row of crossbows is a unique strong crossbow of the Black Water Army, there are three kinds of bow crossbows: kick zhang, waist lead and qingzhang, this row of crossbows is a kind of waist lead, can shoot up to five hundred steps!" Chen Liang said with a stern face.

Jiang Han's face changed suddenly, what are you kidding? Five hundred steps?

One step in Daxia is about six feet, one foot is about 0.23 meters, and five hundred steps is already close to seven hundred meters!

A strong crossbow that can shoot 700 meters?

That's terrible, isn't it?

You must know that the AK47 in that world has a range of 400 meters.

Soon, in front of and behind the shield-wielding Blackwater Army, another group of Blackwater Army pushed a ballista forward, each of which was controlled by three people and could shoot ten arrows at the same time.

I saw the Black Water Army sitting flat on the ground, kicking the bow with both feet, hanging a hook string on his waist, and pulling the bowstring with his waist, hands, and feet.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The wind is blowing!

Powerful arrows have been shot into the city!

"Ahh

"Ahh

Many Shenwu soldiers were directly hit by arrows and screamed in pain.

Chen Liang said angrily: "Quick, hold the shield!" ”

Jiang Han looked back and saw that there were many arrows that shot directly into the city, and those arrows actually caught fire directly after they were shot! In an instant, many houses were on fire.

"Gunpowder on the arrows?"

Jiang Han's face became ugly, this Duke Kui Guogong is not going to attack the city, he is going to destroy the city!

Using this kind of bow and arrow with such a terrifying lethality, I am afraid that it will not only annihilate the Shenwu army, but also slaughter Jingzhou City.

Because if you are only going to attack the city, you will not be able to use this kind of crossbow at all.

He suddenly remembered that the Qin Dynasty's strong crossbow that he had seen on TV in his previous life had directly broken through the city five or six hundred meters away.

Even "Chu Ci Nine Songs" recorded: "Take a long sword and carry a Qin bow, and your body will not be punished." ”

After the end of the first wave of strong crossbows, the city of Jingzhou was already on fire, and the people fled in confusion, and there were cries and shouts everywhere.

Among the strong crossbows of the right people, many people were killed by arrows.

"My lord, you go down to the city, it's too dangerous here!" Chen Liang was covered in sweat, his shoulder was bloody, and he was also grazed by a crossbow arrow that came from him.

Jiang Han left the city wall with a calm face, he was thinking, how to resist the rows of crossbows of the Blackwater Army, if he couldn't resist the rows of crossbows, there was no way to guard until his father's reinforcements arrived.

"This kind of row of crossbows is so powerful that it can't be resisted at all, no wonder Kui Guogong's Blackwater Army is famous, because this kind of strong crossbow is too powerful......"

"Shoot back with a bow and arrow? No, most of the bows and arrows of the Shenwu Army are Qingzhang, that is, they rely on hand strength and arm strength to open the bow, which is definitely not as good as the continuous crossbows of the Black Water Army, unless you use those two poems to fight back. ”

Jiang Han thought of the strong bow poem and the "Stopper Song", with the blessing of these two poems, not only can the bow and arrow shoot farther, but also achieve a hundred shots.

But he is only in the eight-grade self-cultivation realm, and he can only talk on paper, even if he uses these two poems, the power of blessings is limited.

"Can't hold the ......" Jiang Han frowned, he was still too naïve, thinking that 30,000 horses couldn't be beaten, at least he could hold it, after all, there was no shortage of stones and giant trees in Jingzhou City, and there was no shortage of food, so it should be possible to keep it for three or five days.

And three or five days is enough for my father to lead the troops to rescue.

But after the actual battle, he found it difficult to hold at all.

As long as the Blackwater Army uses a strong crossbow, there is no way to defend it at all!

This is the difference between practice and theory.

……

In the Blackwater Army, the generals under the command of Duke Kui Guo looked at the burning Jingzhou City, and they all smiled.

"This Jiang Han is self-righteous, he dares to transfer troops to take over Jingzhou Mansion, and he also wants to solve the case, what kind of dog thing, dare to reach out to our territory?"

"Haha, I heard that he was originally a Kyoto gentleman, but he suddenly opened his mind more than two months ago and entered the Taixue Academy, so what can he do if he can write a few crooked poems? He didn't know what it meant to march to war! ”

"Our crossbows can even level the mountains, this time it took thirty vehicles to deal with this Jingzhou City, and it doesn't take half an hour to break through Jingzhou City! Boss, what's next? A member of the army held a steel spear in his hand, and the general who rode a red horse looked at Kui Guo's justice.

Xue Mubai looked at Jingzhou City, his face was calm, and said, "Continue to use the crossbow!" Break the city! ”

The general said, "Continue to use the crossbows?" That General Fan Yulong Fan is still in Jingzhou City, if so, I am afraid that Jiang Hangou will jump over the wall and kill General Fan. ”

Xue Mubai said: "Inform Jiang Han, I will give him a quarter of an hour, and within a quarter of an hour, take Fan Yulong out of the city to see me, otherwise he will defeat the Shenwu Army here today!" ”

Although Xue Mubai's face was calm, his voice was full of confidence, arrogance, and inevitable.

But he does have arrogant capital, 100,000 black water iron horses, plus a row of crossbows to break the city, it is not a problem to destroy a Jingzhou City!

……

"Report! The Blackwater Army sent a message that the Lord should take Fan Yulong out of the city within a quarter of an hour, otherwise the Shenwu Army would be defeated today! ”

A Shenwu soldier hurriedly came to report with anger and humiliation on his face.

The Shenwu Army, one of the three armies of the Great Xia Divine Strategy, was so threatened one day, it was a great shame!

In the Assassin's Mansion, Ding Ce and other officials all smiled when they heard this, and Fan Yulong also smiled strangely, with a light of disdain reflected in his eyes.

"Threaten me? Or lure me out of the city and kill me? ”

Jiang Han's expression remained unchanged, but he was thinking about the meaning of Xue Mubai's move in his heart.

"There's no way he's going to let go of this opportunity! The human flesh alchemy case involves a state, and the mastermind behind the scenes is Xue Mubai, once this matter is exposed, the government and the opposition will definitely be shaken, even if there are people in Xue Mubai's court, they will not be able to escape the involvement. This is a scam! As long as I leave the city, not only will I die, but the Shenwu army will be wiped out without resistance! ”

This is not a serious suspicion, but the greatest possibility.

The so-called "persuasion" is actually booby-trap!

"Order, the Shenwu Army will defend Jingzhou City!"

"Even if the Shenwu Army is destroyed today, it will definitely not surrender!"

Jiang Han ordered.

He knew that there was no other way to go but to defend it.

"Obey!" The Shenwu army didn't say anything more, and was ordered to leave.

Is this Jiang Han a madman? Or did he see something? Ding Ce's face was cloudy, he didn't expect Jiang Han to be so decisive, obviously the first wave of the Black Water Army's siege of the city made the Shenwu Army suffer a big loss, and he could still hear the wailing outside, but Jiang Han would rather defeat the Shenwu Army than surrender.

Either he's a complete lunatic, or he's just seeing something.

A quarter of an hour later, the Shenwu army in the city said: "Defend Jingzhou City!" ”

When the news reached the Blackwater Army, the generals under Xue Mubai were all surprised.

"The Shenwu Army didn't surrender and wanted to defend it?"

"This Jiang Han simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!"

"Boss, what do we do now?" The previous general looked at Xue Mubai.

Xue Mubai's voice was calm, but full of coldness: "Since he wants to fight, then fight!" Defeat his Shenwu army and slaughter Jingzhou City! It's all the consequences of what he provoked! ”

The general's face changed slightly: "Slaughtered Jingzhou City? Will Jingzhou City be slaughtered now? ”

"The time has come, and after so many years of planning, it is time to reap the results. Slaughtered Jingzhou City and refined the last pill, Renyuan Jindan! ”

Xue Mubai's face was calm, but his eyes were full of ambition, that was the ambition to establish Wang Tu's hegemony!

Renyuan Jindan is a spiritual pill recorded by the Daomen.

Take heaven and earth as the furnace, and create as the work. Yin and Yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper. In this way, a Renyuan Golden Pill can be refined, and after taking it, you can break through the three grades of martial arts on the ground.

Wufu Sanpin, also known as the feudal marquis, the realm of princes!

In the world, no one has reached the first grade, the second grade is extinct, and the third grade is the highest combat power in the world.

"The last will be ordered!" The general shouted, "Pull! ”

The crossbowmen all pulled the bowstrings in unison.

"Put!"

With the general's order, the crossbowmen shot arrows in unison, and in an instant, the sharp arrows in the sky were densely shot!

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The sharp arrow shot directly into Jingzhou City, broke the houses, toppled the beams and pillars, and after the shot, it exploded into flames, and the fire burned in the blink of an eye.

The city of Jingzhou was completely chaotic, and the shouts and wails of the people were everywhere.

Even the Shenwu army could not resist such a sharp bow and arrow, and in the second wave of crossbow arrows, many people had already been damaged.

"Pull again!"

"Put it again!"

The general's cold voice sounded, and a third wave of crossbow arrows was shot into the city, and this time the city wall was shot out of arrow holes, and there were many casualties on the city wall.

"Pull again!"

"Put it again!"

When the fourth wave of crossbow arrows was fired, half of the wall was directly knocked down, and the flames burned even more vigorously.

At this time, the general also commanded: "Fifty more steps!" ”

"Pull again!"

"Put it again!"

Arrows fell like stars in the sky, and this time there were not many people on the city walls.

"Can't hold it! Xue Mubai was only afraid that he was going to slaughter the city! ”

Chen Liang came to Jiang Han's side in embarrassment, his face was covered with ashes, his body was covered in blood, and he was obviously injured in Shicai's crossbow arrows.

"The situation is urgent, I will lead a group of people to escort Childe from behind!"

At this time, Chen Liang was also worried that Jiang Han would die if he stayed in the city any longer.

"Leave?" Jiang Han's face was ugly, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness, did he really want to escape? If he leaves like this, the human flesh alchemy case will definitely be buried.

"Yes, leave, leave Jingzhou City! I'm going to send you out safely! Childe, don't hesitate, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave. Chen Liang was extremely anxious, he still underestimated Xue Mubai's crossbows too much, no, he underestimated Xue Mubai's ruthlessness too much!

This Xue Mubai is not for attacking the city at all, but for slaughtering the city!

With such an arrow, even the people will die!

Jiang Han gritted his teeth, he was unwilling, obviously this case had been solved to the end, but he wanted to escape?

However, the bow and crossbow of the Black Water Army could not be stopped at all, and if he stayed in Jingzhou City, he would definitely die.

"Childe, let's go, let's go!" Chen Liang really wanted to pull Jiang Han away.

The county lord of Shaohui came in a hurry at this time and said, "Jiang Han, Kui Guogong is really crazy, the city gate is about to break, if you want to leave, take advantage of it now...... Anyway, we already know about the case, so let's leave here first and report the case to Taixuefu. ”

Jiang Han gritted his teeth unwillingly, he knew that if he left, not only would the case not be solved, but he would also be splashed with dirty water, but if he didn't run now, it would be a dead end.

He simply had no choice.

"Let's go." Jiang Han gritted his teeth and said.

"Let's go, let's go!" Chen Liang said: "Leave from the north gate and go in the direction of Shanzhou." ”

However, just then, an even worse news came: "Oh no! The gates have been breached! Blackwater ...... It's in town! ”

Chen Liang was shocked and angry, and said, "Wu Yong, you take two thousand people to escort Gongzi away, and I will stop the Black Water Army!" ”

Wu Yong said: "But you, general...... After I come to break off, general, you escort Childe away! ”

Everyone knows that whoever stays behind is a dead end.

"Fuck don't talk nonsense, hurry up and send your son away!" Chen Liang said with a hideous face.

At this time, many people suddenly walked out from both sides of the street, some of whom were from Guo County.

Chen Liang's face changed, what do these people want to do? Don't you let Childe leave?

When the people came over, Chen Liang found that they were all holding farm tools, some hoes, rakes and the like.

"Lord Jiang, General Chen!"

It was Song Chengyong who spoke, the scholar from Guo County whose wife was missing, and his wife was not found under the cave, so he followed him to Jingzhou Mansion.

He is the only one who helps record unjust cases.

At this time, Song Chengyong's face was calm, but his voice was resolute: "Master Jiang, you go quickly, I will break the queen for you." Originally, the villain wanted to die, so I used this life to repay your kindness to me, Master Jiang. ”

And as Song Chengyong spoke, the second one to open his mouth was a simple old farmer, his son also died in the alchemy case, at this moment he said in an old voice: "Lord Jiang, you risked your life to investigate the case for us, and killed so many dog officials, you are a good person, you can't die here." Old man, I was also a scholar when I was young, and I could talk on paper, so let me block those for you! ”

And the third, and the fourth, and the fifth, also spoke.

"Master Jiang, we must not let you die here, you guys go quickly!"

"The back gate has been opened, and we will cut it off for you."

"Master Jiang, you avenged my child's revenge for Lao Suo, Lao Suo really doesn't know how to repay you, anyway, it's a bad life, how can you stop one."

", you're an old bone, and you still want to block one? It's almost ...... to block an arrow Jiang Zhenguo, I haven't read a book and can't speak, but I also know the truth of the grace of dripping water, there is nothing to repay in this life, I can only use this cheap bone to block the arrow for you, but maybe, the old lady is very fierce in killing pigs, maybe she can kill a few people! ”

"Master Jiang, you said that we are like your parents, then let our parents protect you once!"

Those people were old people, young people, men and women, and they all looked at Jiang Han with a grateful look at them at this moment.

One by one, they looked at death as if they were at home, holding all kinds of rough farm tools to block the streets.

It is like a flagpole planted in the street, although it can't withstand the strong wind, but it stands on its heels.

Jiang Han opened his mouth, and suddenly his nose was sore, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Even the Shenwu Army, whose heart is as solid as a stone, can't help but be moved at this moment.

Even a man with a strong temperament like Chen Liang has red eyes.

can be so protected by the people, Jiang Han is only afraid that he is the first person since the founding of Great Xia.

But the son of the prince who can kneel in front of the people, for thousands of years, is only afraid of Jiang Han.

At this time, the sound of shouting and killing had already been heard, and the Black Water Iron Rider was killing this way.

"Master Jiang, let's go!"

"Master Jiang, we won't let them catch up with you!"

"Master Jiang, let's go! The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone......"

Song Chengyong roared angrily, and then used paper to talk about the army, used "Yi Shui Song", and rushed in the direction where the Black Water Iron Cavalry came from.

"Chen Liang!"

Jiang Han suddenly roared loudly: "Listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Chen Liang said.

"Array!"

"Punish the enemy!"

"Live and die with the people of Jingzhou!"

Jiang Han roared.

At this moment, Jiang Han made a decision, even if he died, he would never escape.

"The last general obeys!" This time, Chen Liang did not persuade Jiang Han to leave, but let the Shenwu Army line up and fight to the death.

He already knew that Jiang Han would not leave even if he died.

Jiang Han looked at the people who were protecting him, and suddenly, he understood what he wanted, and he also understood his meaning in this world.

He looked up at the sky and said slowly:

"I, Jiang Han!"

"Make a life here today!"

"Make a life for the people!"

"Set your heart for heaven and earth!"

"For the sake of the saints, continue to learn!"

"Peace for all generations!"

When the words fell, the sky suddenly changed, the wind and clouds suddenly rose, and an unprecedented huge vision was born in the sky above Jingzhou City!
