Chapter 406: The Rabble

In fact, there are quite a few county guards like Duan Yu, and in addition to the head hunters, who are hindered by their identity and bad face, there are about seventy or eighty county guards who have disobeyed the order.

Shi Pu asked these county guards with a cold face, "Why don't you go down? Go down!"

Unexpectedly, someone replied: "Returning to the generals, the city and the city, all glory and loss, if the city wall is broken by the ghost army, even if we hide in the city, it will be difficult for us to survive, rather than hide in the city and be afraid, we would rather stay in the city wall!"

Shi Pu heard the slight change in color, and scolded in displeasure: "You fuck! Do you think our Tang army can't hold the city wall?"

"No!" The county magistrate shook his head and said, "I just hope there are no regrets and resentments! Even if the walls are breached by the ghost army in the end."

「……」

Shi Pu was slightly moved, and asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

The county magistrate replied, "I'm afraid! But I'm more afraid of dying in a daze! Back then, in Baitan, I became a defeated soldier because of fear, and I had to flee with my family in a hurry, causing my mother to die of illness on the way, and I didn't want me and my family to experience similar things again."

"That's good." Shi Pu nodded and asked with some respect, "County Guard, what's your name?"

The county guard straightened his chest and replied, "Hao Shu!"

"Good!"

Liu Tu nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a straight face: "I appreciate your enlightenment, but the commander's order cannot be disobeyed!"

The county official named Hao Shu was about to speak, but at this time, Shi Pu took off the helmet he was wearing, took off the bundle wrapped around his head, threw it at the former, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Take it, you can temporarily stay on the city wall as a brother of our Tang Army, and advance and retreat with us!"

"It's an honor!"

Hao Shu did not hesitate, and immediately put the tie on his head, becoming the first person to wear the county pawn costume but wear a tie on his head.

Following him, the rest of the county officials who wanted to stay on the city wall followed suit.

Seeing this interesting scene from afar, Zhang Teng looked at Duan Yu, who was the lieutenant of Zhuolu County, with ill will.

As if he had guessed Zhang Teng's thoughts, Duan Yu preemptively said with a dark face, "I won't bring it, just let Marshal Meng ask me for guilt!" new

Zhang Teng couldn't help laughing, and was about to tease Duan Yu again, but suddenly heard the shout of the division commander Han Yan not far from the city: "The regular army of Youguo has arrived a mile away, and everyone is ready to meet the enemy!" The guards who carry the shields are stepping up to deliver the shields to everyone!"

For a while, an extremely tense atmosphere enveloped the city, so that Zhang Teng didn't care about joking with Duan Yu, holding a skin formation shield, staring at the regular army of Youguo that was about to approach outside the city with a serious face.

Zhang Teng's eyes showed a cold light, and he muttered, "This is the key battle today." "Hmm."

Receiving a skin array shield from a soldier carrying a shield, Duan Yu also looked out of the city with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "He said that he has never really lost, and he will definitely win this time. I hope he does have that."

Zhang Teng turned his head in confusion and asked, "Who?" Who said that?"

「……」

Duan Yu didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Teng's inquiry.

Seeing this, Zhang Teng stopped asking, and stared intently at the Youjun outside the city, but he didn't expect to hear a person's name in his ears at this time: "Meng Junshuai."

「……」

Zhang Teng turned his head to glance at Duan Yu, but saw that the latter had his lips closed tightly and a serious face, as if the name of the person just now did not pop out of his mouth.

"General Li, the captain is dispatched."

Just when Li Cong, the general of Fenglin, focused all his attention on the situation of the soldiers in front of him, a henchman by his side suddenly reminded him.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Han Xuan's main formation, and sure enough, he found that the Youjun army had dispatched more than 100,000 troops, and the total number was almost half.

Li Cong let out a long breath: "Finally dispatched......

When the first group of about 2,000 Youjun slaves were killed by the Zhuolu County Army, he was already there

Realizing that if you want to reduce your own casualties and capture Zhuolu County at the same time, you still have to let the soldiers of the Youjun under Han Qi go out.

But unfortunately, in this attack on Zhuolu, he Li Cong was only a general, and it was impossible to command Han Xuan and the elite of the Youjun army under his command.

If someone is sent to ask for help, then he, General Fenglin, will become a joke of the whole army. He was the one who rushed to attack the city, and now he is the one who is not conducive to attacking the city and asking for help. It doesn't matter if he loses face as a second ancestor, but the Prime Minister's Mansion can't afford to lose this person. The only thing he could do was wait, waiting for Han Xuan to make the decision to attack the city on his own.

He was not in a hurry at all, anyway, in his opinion, Zhuolu County in front of him was very important to the Youjun, and Han Xuan would definitely do everything to conquer this city, and the garrison was here to exert pressure on Daijun. He still has this eyesight.

After thinking about it, he sent someone to ask Han Xuan for instructions. He doesn't care about his face at all, what he values is to build the city and gain benefits.

Soon, the people sent by Li Cong came to the Taiwei Han Xuan, only to see him clenching his fists and asking the latter, "Lord Taiwei, General Li has sent me to ask you for instructions, I don't know where we can help you."

Help?

A few traces of contempt flashed in Han Xuan's eyes, and he said meaninglessly: "General Li has sent tens of thousands of slaves to attack the city before and after, and he has already done Captain Ben a great favor, so next, leave it to my soldiers of the hidden army."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, after all, in his opinion, Li Cong just let tens of thousands of slaves go to death, which did little to help the current war situation.

It was only because of the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion that Han Xuan suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and did not say anything humiliating, but secretly ridiculed.

"A rabble."

After the man sent by Li Cong saluted and said goodbye, Han Xuan glanced at the family army in the distance with a contemptuous expression, and after sneering, he once again turned his gaze and attention to his own army that was about to meet the enemy in front.

Unlike the previous siege of the Youguo slaves who had no rules to speak of, the regular army of the Youguo had tactics.

For example, Jin Chong, the general who commanded the 20,000 crossbowmen, took a step ahead of his colleague Zhang Lang, and quickly came to a place only a stone's throw away from the city wall of Zhuolu County, preparing to suppress the defenders on the city head with a long-range shot with a bow and crossbow.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Jin Chong's order, 20,000 crossbowmen launched a volley towards the city wall in the distance.

A full 20,000 crossbowmen, a salvo is a full 20,000 arrows, compared to the more than 1,000 county army crossbowmen on the city wall, the salvo of 20,000 crossbowmen of the Youjun army is obviously much more spectacular, the black pressure of the arrows, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border.
