CHAPTER XXIII

The siege of the city is always the time when the casualties are the greatest, and it is the time when the pressure is the greatest for both sides, death is no longer something in the distance, and most people need to dispel fear and condense courage through roaring.

Jing Jun shouted a woo that Zheng Ren couldn't understand, and Zheng Ren screamed ahh

Countless arrows rained down, and the trebuchets in the city continued to shoot stones into the Jingjun array, striking up a piece of bloody dust, and then continued to roll forward, startling a calf, some of which had a good angle, and they could bounce a few more times.

The Jing army can really be said to be fearless to death, and they have not shown much fatigue in the onslaught for several days, and war and death are the norm for them.

Today's Jing army is particularly crazy, Xiao Rugui naturally doesn't know that the angry Ono has even beheaded a general who commands 10,000 troops.

Kill one and kill the three armies.

So from the afternoon onwards, Jingren began to die, and many middle-level officers appeared under the city.

Xiao Rugui's face tightened, and he looked back at the city.

Deng Jishen came and brought a bowl of broth, two buns and two bowls of rice, Xiao Rugui ate it, but Deng Jishen took away a thousand soldiers.

Xiao Rugui knows that if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and you also know that under this huge disadvantage, you must unite all the forces that can be united and use all the resources that can be used.

And according to the law of the Jing people these days, the noon attack will be weakened a lot, on the one hand, because noon is very unfavorable for the siege, as soon as you raise your head, the sun is fair and smiles at you, but you don't know anything about the smile and can't afford it, on the other hand, the Jing army really needs to rest and rotate.

But the dwarf on the opposite side didn't play according to the routine today.

There were less than 10,000 people standing on the four walls of the entire Qingcheng County, and then hundreds of people were dispatched.

There may not be many hundreds, but the Jing army has been on the battlefield for a long time, and you can laugh at their short stature, but they can definitely see from experience, and they have an extremely accurate grasp of the subtle changes on the battlefield, especially the lower-level officers.

After the troop is withdrawn, it is theoretically necessary to transfer reserves to make up for it, but Xiao Rugui obviously ignored it under inertia, and a small officer in the Jing army, whose ambassador was equivalent to the rank of Zheng Jun, suddenly found that the several ladders he was in charge of Zheng Jun's attack had weakened slightly, so he hurriedly commanded his subordinates to attack somewhere.

And then he boarded it.

The first to get there!

The first few people to ascend the city were quickly chopped up, but this was the first time they had ever ascended the city.

This is either an under-prepared situation or a lack of troops.

The general who supervised and commanded from a distance, Ming Temple Nakanao, naturally also noticed. As soon as the little eyes narrowed, the fly swatter in his hand was waved out.

It's strange to say that most of the Jing people have small eyes and like to squint.

Ming Temple Zhongzhi sent his own direct personal guards.

This elite force soldier is the absolute main force in the Jing army, with an iron round shield in his hand, a short knife at his waist and a long knife in his hand, and rushed up with a roar.

Run to the bottom of the ladder, bite the long knife in your mouth, and climb up with your hands and feet.

The fastest climber was Taro Kibo.

When there was still a ladder from the battlement, Kibo Taro removed the long knife from his mouth, and then jumped high with a hard kick of his calf.

"Broad Silk ~"

The wooden house that suddenly jumped up let out a powerful shout, the long knife in his hand reflected the cold light, and the hideous face really startled Zheng Junqingzhuang in the front.

Seeing this scene, the cruel smile on Mufang's face deepened a little, and the long knife in his hand turned, waiting for the time to land and then harvest the head, for the Jing army, the soldier's military merits are also the first.

Immediately afterward, there was a loud shout between the electric lights and flints.

"Phew!"

The wooden house, which had not yet landed, quickly replaced the sinister smile on its face with horror.

A spear stabbed out diagonally like a snake.

The experienced wooden house did not forget the iron shield in his hand, but the spear in Zheng Jun's hand obviously deprived him of this opportunity.

So the wooden house that was not finished with Siyin was thrown down with a gourd.

The follow-up Jing army took advantage of this short gap to climb up to the three people one after another, and then the long knife swept through the necks of the three people, and then quickly gathered back to back.

Several Zheng soldiers noticed it and hurried over to support, but even after several days of bloody fighting, the city defense battalion was still unable to compete with the elite of the Jing army in a hand-to-hand encounter.

Courage can make up for more fearlessness.

More elite warriors of the Jing army poured into the city and began to expand their range.

Ming Temple laughed arrogantly, and then ordered the military envoy next to him to report to the formation: "The elite under his command has already landed in the city." ”

There was a round of applause.

Ono Sachitake is not only a well-known wise and brave general in Yasukuni, but also a well-known gambler, at this moment Ono keenly senses the laxity of a certain place, which makes Ono happy, shuttle, ha, the time has finally arrived.

He likes the feeling of being desperate, a decision that often requires a lot of courage, and people are not afraid of losing but are afraid of losing it all.

Ono firmly believes that casinos and battlefields have a lot in common, the two most important being calmness and courage.

The former tells you when to turn around, have a chance to win, or risk defeat to tell you what to do next, while courage keeps you from losing those opportunities and instills fear in your opponents.

Ono relied on this to go from being a neglected bastard to a money-profligate gentleman, and then to a general on the battlefield.

Ono's left hand gently rubbed back and forth against the back of his right hand holding the fly swatter, his small eyes narrowed slightly so that others could not see it, and his mouth was tightly pursed together.

His subordinates knew that this was Ono's signature move, and it was generally of decisive significance.

Kasahara quietly gestured and ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle, and the retainers understood that they hurriedly saluted and then hurried away.

Soon many soldiers were organized, and the noise was heard far away.

Ono doesn't care about the small movements of his subordinates, he enjoys the small actions of others trying to figure out what he means.

Standing in the command banner, Ono raised the Qianli Realm in his hand, and had to sigh that many things of the Zheng people were easy to use, and Yasukuni also had them, but compared to Zheng Guo's, they were rubbish, and they felt overestimated.

Another place climbed to the top of the city, and this time the Zheng people were even more powerless to deal with it.

The officers of the Jing Army under the city roared angrily, the huge casualties made many people red-eyed, and the red tiger flag in the big array was raised high, which was the final decisive moment for the Jing people.

Some officers bit their long knives in their mouths and dragged the last soldier down the ladder with their backhands and began to climb up.

Use your hands and feet together, like a monkey.

In the city, Xiao Rugui had no one else around him except for two personal guards.

The hustle and bustle in the city gradually developed towards the riot, Xiao Rugui looked outside the city and then at the inside of the city, and finally gritted his teeth, and the hundred refining straight knife on his waist was unsheathed again, and there were still sporadic scroll marks on it that had not yet had time to be repaired.

He chose to trust Deng Jishen.

At the same time, Zhu Gui and Niu Gao put the target into Wangshan at the same time, and the soldiers everywhere were already in place.

Taking a deep breath, the crossbow bolt slowly followed the mule.

The small red flags flashed three times in a hurry, and the chiefs in charge of their respective directions waved their hands violently at the same time.

The leader who was the first to be hit by the arrow was shot through the skull and knocked away without even synaesthesia, and the mule that sat down was shot by the crossbow in Zhu Gui's hand, and he took two steps back and fell down before letting out a few hisses.

The soldier, who received the signal, pulled the trigger of the repeater almost simultaneously.

At a distance of less than thirty paces, these soldiers could be said to be in every shot.

Before the Jing army could react, they all fell to the ground and died, without exception.

In comparison, what was even more bewildered was the Zheng army and the people who were captured by the Jing army.

Some people didn't feel incredible until they were brought to Zhang Xiyang.

Deng Jishen appeared in the Chen Mansion with two teams of soldiers murderously.

The little guy guarding the door was so frightened when he saw this situation that he fled and hid in.

Deng Ji looked at the Gaomen mansion and listened to the fighting outside, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Up, smash this official!" ”

Xiao Rugui knew that this kind of thing was soft, so what Deng Jishen squeezed out were all soldiers, and he had seen soldiers who had killed people in blood.

The two teams leading the team were facing backwards, and a little forward came a group of soldiers holding logs.

Boom!

A muffled sound completely knocked away Deng Jishen's last concerns.

"Smash it hard, if something happens, the official is in his pocket!"

The soldiers were about to exert their strength again but saw that the gate opened by itself, and out of it came a middle-aged man in a blue shirt, who was Chen De, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion.

"It turned out to be Lord Deng, and the villain was polite." Chen De casually asked, "But why did Lord Deng bring so many soldiers and slam the door?" What great crime did my Chen Mansion commit, and I had to humiliate Lord Deng so much? ”

"What did the official ask you to prepare for the Chen Mansion today?"

"Something? What is it? Chen De asked rhetorically.

"Chen De, the official asked one last time, what about the things that the official asked you to prepare?"

Chen De suddenly realized: "The lord is talking about the grain and the young man who is guarding the city? Hey, my lord wants to say. ”

Then he turned his head and ordered: "Go, transport the twenty carts of Jing grain prepared in the backyard out, and bring out the people who have been picked out for Lord Deng to take away." ”

Deng Jishen waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to withdraw, although the other party said that he had no official body, but he had a cousin who was a deputy assistant in the cabinet, this Chen family in Qingcheng County and even the entire Huizhou City relied on Chen Zongxiang to become a top family, not to mention anything else, the six major families in Qingcheng County, Chen Wang Liu Ji Zhuma, originally the Chen family was only at the bottom, and becoming the leader was just a matter of Chen Zongxiang becoming the second assistant of the cabinet in the past ten years.

The Chen family in Huizhou, especially in Qingcheng County, is simply a local overlord-like existence, buying high and selling low, buying and selling, bullying and dominating the market, and maliciously merging the land, which are all basic exercises, and even Deng Jishen's predecessor has to put down the shelf, and he has to hand over a thick amount of money at the door.

Even if Huizhou City is surrounded by heavy troops now, most of the grain stocks in the city are still concentrated in the hands of these six major families, and Deng Jishen has sent people to negotiate many times, but they have been dealt with like sending a flower child. There are hundreds of guards in each of the six major families, and the Chen family even has thousands of ploppy thugs, but they don't care about Deng Jishen's request.

The head of the Chen family even said: Why should the city of the imperial court let us break the wealth and break the family? The old man pays so many taxes every year, and in the end he has to go up and work hard, where does the truth come from in the world?

The other five families even regarded the Chen family as a style vane, and the Chen family did not let go, and the five families did not let go.

Seeing that the grain storage is getting tighter and the war is being consumed very quickly, the treasury of Qingcheng County can not support it for long, whether it is medicine or cloth or meat or vegetables and vegetables, in short, all the things that Deng Jishen urgently needs can be found in a lot in the six contiguous warehouses.

After a while, there was a creaking sound of axles in the door, and to be honest, Deng Jishen was still looking forward to it.

But the expectations are as high as the disappointments.

There were indeed twenty grain wagons, and more than twenty were brought out in succession, but each cart had only one bag on it, and some were still half-deflated.

After the grain truck was transported, more than 300 people came out pushing and shoving.

Deng Jishen was even more angry, he obviously didn't know that the beggars who were used to collect Long, the elderly, children, and women were all there.

At this moment, Deng Jishen felt his head buzz.

Exploded.

"This official sees that your Chen family wants to exterminate the clan in Qingcheng County!!"

Deng Jishen let out a rage that he had never been in his life.
