Chapter 092: The Pawn's Battlefield
On the fifth watch, the sky was gray as if it was full of dust. There wasn't much light in the hall, and when I looked up, the whole world was dark, except for the light of the torch swaying in the wind.
The third watch makes food and rests, and the fifth watch besieges the city.
But in front, the barrier-like Wolf Devouring Pass, like a giant beast in the dark, opened its fangs and bloody mouth, waiting for them to enter the belly.
"Obey orders, the whole army obeys orders-" One by one, the commanders of the counterinsurgency army, as well as the generals, kept riding their horses and shouting all around.
Tie up the old armor, Chen Jing frowned. This sudden siege order was tantamount to a blow to the head, shattering his original plan.
"Chen Jing, I went to ask that Li Guang just now. Does Li Guang recognize it? It was the previous sentry general, who was transferred back to General Hu Zun, and he said that he always remembered you and told you to be careful. By the way, this damn siege order was instigated by that old staff member Zhang Su. What else do you say that if you are wronged and wronged, you will be given a pension in the future...... This high-sounding reason, so you and I will be sent to death? ”
Ding Pei came with a knife and sighed loudly, "If you can live, who wants to die?" I haven't been to the flower boat in the north of Huaizhou...... Those delicate little Oirans haven't picked a good one yet. ”
Chen Jing's face was silent. He only felt that he was like a small boat in the ocean, chasing the waves with the wind, and wherever the wind blew, he would drift there, but he could not resist the general trend.
"Chen Jing, I'm waiting for this fourth post, not the front row. When attacking a city, you need to be careful. Ding Pei's face turned pale, and he patted Chen Jing on the shoulder again to show comfort.
Chen Jing retracted his fist clenching. Looking around, I found that more than 5,000 Fu Zhuang camps had already put on their old armor. Someone was so frightened that he cried again, sobbing intermittently, and for a while the whole Fu Zhuang camp was rendered.
Several prison guards hurriedly walked up, brandished their swords, and smashed them on a sobbing village boy. The young man in the village howled in pain, probably because he had a bad temper, so he wanted to untie his old armor and run out.
An old prison soldier drew his knife expressionlessly, chased after him, and slashed at the back of the villager boy.
The boy staggered a few steps and collapsed in a pool of blood.
"No return, no return!" A bearded battalion general, as the commander of the army this time, drew his sword out of its sheath at this time, pointing directly at the Wolf Devouring Pass in front.
"Listen to my military orders, and the whole army will attack the city—"
"Fu Zhuang Camp, go quickly!" The prison camp also drew its swords, roaring angrily in the back.
Catapults and all kinds of siege baggage were pushed to the front line. Between the two sides, there were two and three battalions of battalions, divided into the left and right of the Lev Zhuang battalion, as foot archers, each carrying two pots of arrows, and the same nervous face.
"General Hu Zun has an order, and the first to ascend will be named the general of the Huaizhou battalion, and the reward will be a thousand gold!"
"Kill it!"
"Kill—"
The open official road in front of the Wolf Devouring Pass, for a while, there were long shouts everywhere. The muffled horns and trombones, as well as the drums, blow up in the ears from time to time.
Stepping out, the grinding of the old wooden armor and robes was also piercing.
The front row of the Fuzhuang battalion was given a wooden shield, and the formation was messy, and under the urging of the supervising army behind, they had to continue to die forward.
Only close to the city pass—
Woo, woo.
On the head of the city of Wolf Devouring Pass, there were first bursts of fire arrows, condescendingly projectile. If a fire bolt falls on a flammable object, such as dead grass or trees, or even a corpse killed in battle, it will quickly burst into flames.
In the darkness, the piercing sound of the catapult smashing the ground shook people's hearts.
Not far from the fourth outpost, a huge stone threw down, bringing out a large splatter of broken corpses and screams of pain.
"Chen Jing, shield, take the shield!" Ding Pei ran over, and with great effort, he threw the two wooden shields into Xing Xiaojiu's hands. didn't care to say a few words, so he hurried to the side again, cooperating with the siege generals, and commanding the husband of the fourth outpost.
"Brother Xiao'er, protect the owner!" Xing Xiaojiu shouted, and Lin Xiao and Lin Xiao each grabbed a wooden shield and protected Chen Jing to the left.
"What, I'm ...... I want to go home. At this time, in the vicinity of Chen Jing, such as the iron head, when they saw the flying arrows and throwing stones, their legs were so frightened that their legs went weak, and their voices were almost pleading.
Chen Jing didn't know how to comfort him. At this time, he didn't become a meat army. But in this life, even if he is a pawn crossing the river, he is unwilling to give up.
Starting from Ping'an Town, he was calculated by the people of Jiangzitang, and when he arrived in Tang Village, he was worried about the old bandits in Huo'er Mountain, and went to Luzhou, and there was also a catastrophe of "killing the green forests in the world".
Even if he escorted Mr. Big, it was all the way dangerous, and even his brother Xia Chong died in the hands of Xu Wuzun.
But it doesn't mean that he is willing to be caught and killed. It's true that he is a pawn, but he has to step by step, to reach the pinnacle of the dynasty.
"Draw the knife." Chen Jing's voice was calm, "If you hang your eggs, you will follow me Chen Jing and fight your way out." If there are no eggs, hold your head and kneel to beg for work from the prison guards. ”
After these iron-headed people were stunned, they also gritted their teeth when they saw Chen Jing's expression, and drew their long knives one after another.
Chen Jing looked ahead.
The Fuzhuang camp in the front row has approached Chengguan. The closer you get, the more dead and wounded you will be. The condescending Wolf Devouring Pass, the arrows thrown down, are as dense as a spread net.
Rows of black shadows in front of them kept falling. There was a husband who was not dead by an arrow, and he screamed for help in the night, but soon, with the next wave of flying arrows, the cry for help could no longer be heard.
Above the city pass, the long-range fire bolts did not stop, and in the darkness, like a meteor shower, dragged out a long tail of smoke, burning the surrounding world into a bright hall.
"Pull the strings—"
The besieging battalion marched with bows, and when they were close to the firing range, they all took their bows and twisted arrows, and also threw arrows from the formation position to the head of the city. Occasionally, the rebels above the city would be shot by arrows and fall under the ravines screaming in pain.
"Keep up with the formation, those without a shield, pick up the shield immediately!"
One after another, the front row of Fu Zhuang's battalion was almost dead, and hundreds of people followed on top, picking up the bloodstained wooden shields on the ground one after another, and raised them tremblingly, trying to block the flying arrows.
"Cover the car!"
In front of the Wolf Swallowing Pass, he pushed the cart and began to approach the city pass step by step. In the vicinity of the rushing car, the third sentinel battalion that was dispatched to the car, taking advantage of the stalemate, hurriedly covered the rushing car, and quickly pushed towards the two gates of the city gate.
But I didn't think about it, but I just got closer-
Bang!
With a loud bang that seemed to be earth-shattering, a huge iron tooth roll, hanging the iron cable, ran over to the camp of the third sentinel who escorted the rushing car.
In an instant, a scream that burst out in unison resounded throughout the battlefield of the Wolf Devouring Pass.
Chen Jing, who was not far away, was all pale. The roller that was re-hoisted by the iron cable, when the "Qiang Qiang Qiang" was retracted, the iron teeth were clearly still sticking to the minced flesh and corpse blood.
