CHAPTER XXV

As time passed, the sun overhead finally and unstoppably slid towards the west.

Xiao Rugui pulled the straight knife in his hand out of the stomach of a Jingjun armorer, and wiped the blood on his face with his big hand, but instead wiped his entire face red.

Raise your head after taking a breath, the most favorable time for Zheng Jun has passed, and the small group of Jing Jun on the city wall is still fighting bravely, and they are really not afraid of life and death.

Although there is a mortal enemy on the battlefield, Xiao Rugui still has to admit that the will of the Jing army is even stronger than that of the Western Xia barbarians.

He saw with his own eyes several soldiers of the Jing Army who were missing arms and legs and fell down howling while holding their robes. There are those who really can't get up, they also hold Zheng Jun's leg and bite it down, and they don't let go of their mouths even after chopping.

What a dog!

Looking straight at the city in the Ming Temple, there is no need to block the sun with your hands.

The new force behind him, who had already eaten, had already lined up in formation.

As Ono Sachiku's confidant general, there are more than 20,000 people under the command of the hardcore dog-legged Ziming Temple, of course, the Yasujun does not have a saying that he does not wear armor, after all, bamboo is not very valuable, and there are many of the eight major islands of Yasukuni.

Thanks to Qingcheng County, it can be launched by 10,000 people at one time, and Mingsi feels that his opportunity has come, and even the fly swatter in his hand has turned smoothly.

The elite has opened a breakthrough, and Zheng Jun has not found a large-scale rotation from early to now, it is time.

Ming Si stood up violently, and the fly swatter in his hand swung forward with a burst of wind breaking through the air.

β€œtuicigekiο½žο½žο½žβ€

The Jing Army Expeditionary Force is under the command of the chief general, and several generals are under the command of the general, and three to six senior generals under the command of the general belong to the senior generals, and there are middle-level officers such as Fanzuo and Tuanzuo under his command.

Under the order of the Ming Temple, the adjutant of the Fanzuo regiment, who had already been prepared, pointed their long knives diagonally forward, and rushed forward with a strange scream.

More than 10,000 people are boundless.

Not to mention the shouts of more than 10,000 people.

The huge momentum even made some Zheng soldiers tremble, and the Jing soldiers who were still fighting in the city suddenly burst out with extraordinary strength, and some even directly fought back.

The soldiers under the city were also shouting wildly, eager to jump directly onto the city.

All of a sudden, the pressure on the city suddenly increased.

Xiao Rugui ran to the edge of the battlement in three or two steps, and he didn't need clairvoyance to see the dense enemies shooting towards the devastated Qingcheng County like a tide.

"Someone! What about the flag bearers? Is there anyone alive? Xiao Rugui shouted.

Anwar, who had just fought with one arm to kill a Jing army soldier, immediately ran over when he heard it.

"General, mark it in."

Still gasping for breath, the wound on his left arm looked like it was newly added and had not yet been bandaged, and the blood flowed irregularly down the knife marks on the arm armor, and he couldn't tell how much blood on his face and body was his own.

But Xiao Rugui can't take care of these details: "Good boy, can you still run?" ”

"My lord, even if I tell you, there is no problem with the marking."

"Very good, you should go to the city now quickly to find Lord Deng, and tell him that if there are no reinforcements, return the 1,000 elite soldiers that Ben will lend him."

Anwar struck his right hand with the knife on the cuirass and said loudly: "General, take care! ”

Xiao Rugui ordered the reserves under the city to be transferred again. There were not many people, less than 800 people, and nearly half of them were wounded.

The huge momentum of the Jing army naturally reached Zhang Xiyang's ears, but he couldn't know what was happening, although dozens of clever soldiers were only confined to the vicinity of the woods, in order not to be exposed, they couldn't get close to the battlefield at all, even if the Jing army was careless, there were hundreds of thousands of people, and thousands of cavalry went back and forth to investigate and spread the news, and there was no way to get through the tricks.

Most of the rescued wounded soldiers could fight in armor, but Zhang Xiyang did not have extra armor, and although the people were still afraid, they also began to take care of Zheng Jun's war horses, which made the horses a little reluctant.

Zhang Xiyang's heart was very anxious, and now he couldn't hide his emotions well, which made the team that had expanded to more than 300 people full of tension.

The atmosphere in the forest has been depressing.

A small number of people were silently staring at the movement outside, although they couldn't see anything.

Most of the rest were constantly wiping the straight knives in their hands, and each arrow of the crossbow arrows was finely polished with a cold light, and a maximum of twelve crossbow arrows could be placed in a crossbow box, and they were counted over and over again.

Even if it is as strong as Xiao Zhoujun, it is very nervous in the face of such a big gap between advantages and disadvantages.

But that's about it.

Deng Jishen in the city learned that the grain team of the Chen Mansion went out to the treasury, and the grain transported was all fine grain, and the nine hundred men were all strong, but what about the five families of Wang Liu Ji and Zhu Ma? The family gave 1,000 stone of grain, and the fifty people were still old and weak, and it seemed that they had been discussed.

Master Deng was surprisingly angry, this is the history of looking down on me Deng, who is the second grade of the imperial court? Is there anyone behind you?

His old Chen family is from you, and the five families are not from you?

Anwar, who happened to be riding a horse, found Deng Jishen and told him about the situation in the city, Deng Jishen didn't care about it, and it must be dangerous to let Xiao Rugui say such words.

Besides, there are 20,000 ghosts crying wolves, and there are 10,000 people sprinting towards the city wall.

"The soldiers will obey the order!"

"In!"

Deng Jishen stood in front of the gate of the Ji Mansion, between two mighty stone lions next to the closed vermilion lacquer hardwood gate.

"Jingren siege of the city is tight, Qingcheng County is in danger, Qingcheng is not guaranteed, then Huizhou is not guaranteed, when this country is in trouble, the sergeant spills blood to serve the country, the scholar abandons the pen and holds the sword, that is, the beggar also has the idea of coexistence, but this Zhu Mansion and this Zhu family, one of the six families of Qingcheng, but took advantage of this time when the people were in trouble to make a windfall, risking the relief grain allocated by the government, raising the price of grain, and even secretly preparing swords. Jingren is about to break the city, but he dares to regard the government's order as a joke, this is a rich and unkind person and should be destroyed! ”

"The current official order, the right to coordinate in wartime, will confiscate this Zhu family, if there is any obstruction, kill it!"

"Where are the left and right?"

"In!"

"Break the door!"

"Yes!"

The sergeant, who had already prepared, immediately lifted the log out.

This kind of hardwood door is at best a thief, and it is vulnerable to officers and soldiers.

The chickens and dogs jumped in the entire Zhu Mansion, and the current head of the Zhu family hurriedly ran out of the inner house and asked loudly, "What's the matter?" What happened? Did Yasuto come in? ”

The housekeeper hurriedly ran in from the front yard, and he didn't care about the rules, and hurriedly said: "Master, the officers and soldiers are breaking the door, look like this, they are really using knives!" ”

The head of the Zhu family was shocked, grabbed the butler's sleeve and asked urgently, "Officers and soldiers? Isn't it the Jingren who came in and were the officers and soldiers? ”

"Yes, master, it is Deng Thorn Shi who leads the troops! I guess I'm going into the yard at this point. ”

When the panicked head of the Zhu family heard it, there were really chaotic footsteps and screams.

"How dare he, Deng Jishen? I wish that my family has clansmen in Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, how dare he be a person who has passed the ear? ”

"What about the nursing home? What about the nursing home that is raised on weekdays? ”

"What, do you want to rebel when you ask the master to recruit the nursing home?"

Deng Jishen walked in with someone, and the housekeeper was so frightened that he hurriedly hid back.

The head of the Zhu family forced out a smile and asked, "Lord Deng, is there some misunderstanding here?" The grain villain donated it, and the people also donated it! The grass people can be regarded as righteous businessmen! ”

"Shut up!"

Deng Jishen's face turned pale: "Are you a three-year-old child?" Qingcheng County is not in danger, you not only do not cooperate with the government to deploy and defend the city but also occupy and hoard materials, but also take advantage of this opportunity to make ill-gotten gains, the official persuaded but in exchange for second-class prevarication, today the official according to the wartime regulations, checked your family! ”

As soon as the words fell, the sergeant of the brigade rushed in from behind, and the momentum was terrifying for a while.

"My lord, the grass people donate, the grass people donate, it's all Chen Wang, the old man said, it's not that the grass people don't donate, the grass people are righteous businessmen!"

Deng Jishen waved his hand impatiently, "Shut it down, and tell the rest of the four to start." ”

The two strong men pounced directly, and tied up the crying pear blossom with the rain in three or two years, and when he was escorted to Deng Jishen's side, Deng Jishen said in a low voice: "This official knows that you have a clan brother who is serving as a third-grade Shaoqing in Dali Temple, but he can't save you." In addition, the Chen family donated more than 16,000 stones of grain so that you can understand. ”

Zhu is the head of the family, struggling with his eyes wide, his eyes full of longing.

But Deng Ji didn't look at it, shook his head, his heart was full of a different kind of pleasure, he had to be happy to be an official, he was so good today, and the old man was afraid of who was who.

"Hurry up, Qingzhuang will go directly to the city and hand it over to General Xiao, and the grain, gold and silver will be transported directly to the treasury, and then hurry up."

Chen's house.

"Uncle! Uncle! ”

Chen Wang walked out of the room with a black face and shouted: "What kind of body does this look like?" ”

Chen Zongtian paused to catch his breath for a few moments before hurriedly saying, "Uncle, my nephew has taken it, what you expected was too right." ”

"What, what's wrong?"

"The Zhu family, not the five families, all had an accident, first the Zhu family, and then the other four families did it at the same time, and they were all copied."

"You really expect things like a god, this surnamed Deng doesn't care about anything now, then don't say anything else about the Zhu family, just say that the brother of the head of the Zhu family has a Shaoqing who is in Dali Temple but is a third grade, his surname Deng said to copy it, and everyone went directly to the court to detain it, it seems that this surnamed Deng is going to kill people directly!"

Chen Wang was also a little shocked: "Did you see clearly? Dharma? ”

"But it's not, my nephew didn't believe it at first, and he specially sent someone to investigate, and it is estimated that it has arrived at this time, that is, maybe it will take a while to come to this knife, I heard that the Ma family wants to eat a severed meal and be a full ghost and will not let it."

"My Chen family has escaped a catastrophe!"

Chen Zongtian patted his chest, afraid and ecstatic, but Xiao Rugui was in a hurry.

It's not because of the embarrassment of troops, anyway, there has always been a huge difference, but the young man who had just been sent up couldn't stop Jingren at all, and more than half of the four or five hundred people were brought in less than half an hour, and the rest had to be taken down to rest.

Fortunately, the veterans sent out by themselves came back at a critical moment, and the two teams of more than 200 were called, and the veterans of the hundred battles went up to the top as soon as they came on the field, and they hid back in a few places occupied by the Jingren by relying on their desperate fighting style, so that the morale recovered for a while.

But that's all there is to it.

Xiao Rugui urgently needs a veteran who does not want to die, as long as he can drive Jingren off the city wall, then he can still hold on today.

There are too many Jing people, the south gate is the main direction of Jing people's attack, so the pressure is extremely great, not to mention that there are 20,000 or 30,000 people who are directly engaged in the siege of the Jing people, and those who line up behind cannot see the edge.

The veterans on the Zheng army's side were particularly struggling after a large number of casualties on the first day, and without the backbone of the middle, the Zheng soldiers almost trained with blood and human lives.

The space in the city is limited, although the Jing people need to climb up by ladders, but Zheng Jun can't let go of many people, and the local advantages are very difficult in front of a steady stream of enemies.

Xiao Rugui took the time to find out, there are more than 2,000 people in the southern city wall of Qingzhuang Guang, who were transferred today, but there are less than half of the left, and the equipment to defend the city began to be in short supply, and some people even lifted their bodies and threw them under the city.

Even when the wind blew, it felt like a mist of blood was blowing.

"General, we're back!"

Xiao Rugui looked towards the rear of the city, and saw that Li Yi led the brigade with hundreds of people, some on horseback, some on donkeys, and some big-footed girls galloping behind.

"Quick, take your people up to town!"

"Mark and command!"

"Brothers, go to the city with Lao Tzu and kill devils!"

The body of the straight tiger in the Ming Temple outside the city was shocked, could it be that the Jingren still have a new force?

The fly swatter in his hand is a little trembling, his old book is basically in the city, what if he loses it? Ming Temple wants to say that I am waiting online, anxious !!

Then in the Jingjun main formation, Ono Satake confidently waved the large fly swatter in his hand and pointed it to Qingcheng County in front.

"Break the city tonight and don't seal the sword!!"
