Chapter 50: The Thief Army Collapses
Outside the city of Yongchang County, the barbarian soldiers rushed towards the city wall like a violent wind. They were armed with knives and guns, and the expressions on their faces were fierce. At the head of the city, the Han soldiers held longbows and crossbows, and constantly fired arrows at the enemy, and the hot gold juice with an unpleasant smell poured directly down from the city wall, and the thick rolling wood became even heavier after being dipped in water, and rolled down against the heads of the barbarian soldiers.
"Ahh~"
Screams were heard again and again, brains and stumps and severed arms spread all over the earth, blood splashed, dyeing the earth red, the original moat of Yongchang County City has now become a river of blood, and the corpses of barbarian soldiers float on it.
However, the barbarian soldiers were not afraid of death, and climbed the city wall one after another.
At the head of the city, the general Chen Chun held the Han long sword and shouted: "Defend the city, support will come soon, if the city is broken, think about the fate of your family!" ”
He swung his sword, one sword picking away the shields of the enemies who climbed up the ladder, and the other slashing the spears of the enemies.
He was heavily armoured, but his body was very athletic, like a cheetah ready to attack.
The barbarian general Ah Hui took the lead and rushed to the city wall, he was holding a scimitar and was majestic.
He shouted: "Kill all the Han people, grab money, grab food, and rob women, as long as you capture Yongchang County, the lord said, let you plunder for three days!" ”
As soon as they heard that they could indulge in plundering, the barbarian soldiers' eyes were red one by one, and they didn't seem to be afraid of death, and if they looked down from the air, those barbarian soldiers poured up the city wall like a tide.
On the city wall, the soldiers of Yongchang County constantly attacked the enemy, using rolling logs and rolling stones to smash the barbarian soldiers to the point of bleeding.
The remnant sun was like blood, and the night was approaching, and the barbarian soldiers collected their troops in the sound of the leader's gold, leaving only a mess on the battlefield, with stumps and broken arms, and rivers of blood.
In the sky, flocks of crows and vultures hovered, taking advantage of the night, to fly down, pick up a piece of intestine or an arm, and enjoy a delicious meal on the tall trees in the distance.
The barbarian camp outside the city of Yongchang County.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, a roar sounded.
"Why don't you see Yonghong yet!"
Meng Xu's face was gloomy, and he angrily reprimanded the envoy sent by Yonghong behind him.
"Grinding, now that the rain has stopped, he hasn't walked for nine days after three days?"
Boom!
Meng Shu pulled out the scimitar on his waist directly, he looked at the messenger in front of him with murderous intent, and said viciously: "The warriors under my command are desperately attacking the city, and two or three thousand people have fallen, and the morale of the army is low. ”
"General Meng Shu is angry."
The envoy saw that Meng Shu had pulled out all the scimitars, and with the temperament of these barbarians, it was not a surprise that he was cut down as a messenger.
The two armies are at war, and they don't cut them down?
That's the rule to talk to civilized people, he Meng Shu is a barbarian, what kind of culture does a barbarian tell you?
"I'll give Yonghong one last chance, within today, if I don't see Yonghong, I won't fight this Yongchang County City!"
"Don't worry, general, I will definitely bring the news."
After speaking, the envoy was afraid that he would be cut by Meng Huo, so he crawled out of Meng Huo's main account of the Chinese army.
"Lord, the city of Yongchang County is heavily guarded, the city is profound, if you want to fight down, I'm afraid it's not easy, we have killed more than 2,000 warriors, and we haven't beaten down his corner city, and if it goes on like this, it's just a waste of consumption, it's better to... Wait for the arrival of the Yonghong army, and then make plans? The barbarian Ah Hui muttered to the side and admonished.
Meng Huo's eyes flickered, how could he not know that Yonghong wanted to consume his troops?
For him, it doesn't hurt to consume a little troops, and the young man in the clan who wants to be his barbarian soldier doesn't know how many, and if he dies, he can recruit again, and the most indispensable thing in the south is the barbarian.
But it's one thing to be harmless, and it's another thing to treat Yonghong as a fool.
"Let's put aside the truce for the time being, and when the Yonghong army comes, we will make a plan!"
"The lord is wise!"
Ah Hui immediately took the order and left.
....
"How far is this place from Yongchang County?" Yonghong asked the old peasant guide beside him.
"Lord Qiqi, there are still fifteen miles or so."
"Fifteen miles."
His face was grim.
"Lord, you should move forward quickly, I see that the barbarian Meng Shu is no longer patient, if he delays any longer, maybe he will take the barbarians under his command directly."
Yonghong also wants to march quickly!
But the current situation in the army made his march not fast.
"Are there any people who have fled back from Yizhou County?"
The pro-confessor nodded and said, "There are dozens more, how to deal with these people?" ”
Yonghong's face turned pale, and he said, "Kill them all!" ”
He never thought that he had just left on the front foot, and his hometown on the back foot had been ended!
Thinking of the more than 100 Meiji he had worked so hard to collect in his house, and thinking of the foundation of his ancestors, he was both anxious and helpless.
In his heart, he has already scolded the eighteen generations of Gaoding's ancestors.
"The king is incompetent, he actually let a son take down Yueshan County within three or five days, he is so incompetent, why don't I see it on weekdays?!"
Yonghong regretted it very much.
But whether he was anxious or regretful, Yonghong knew in his heart that the news of the fall of Yizhou County must not be allowed to spread among the army.
These soldiers under his hands, their families are all in Yizhou County, if they know that Yizhou County is broken, how do they want to work for him?
"It's just that there are thousands of people who have fled back, and many of them have scattered into the military formation, killing dozens of people, and it seems to have no effect!"
"It's useless to kill dozens of people, then kill all the people who fled back, you go and order those barbarians, those who flee back, kill one, I will reward five baht money consistently, the wealth is moving, I don't believe that you can't finish killing!"
Yonghong's cold-bloodedness was still beyond the expectations of the staff.
Although they wanted to admonish Yonghong, but now that they have no way to turn the tide.
You can only take one step, count it as one step.
However, Yonghong still overestimated his control over the army!
Recently, the news that Yizhou County was captured by Gongzi Liu Chan has been constantly reaching the ears of these soldiers.
The army reprimanded them for these rumors, saying that these were rumors spread by Lu Kai, the county guard of Yongchang County, and wantonly hunted down and killed the people who had fled from Yizhou County.
Some of these people who fled back were acquaintances with the soldiers in the army, and some were even relatives.
The bloody repression could not suppress the restless hearts of tens of thousands of people.
Whoa~
There was an earth-shattering movement in the barracks.
"Yizhou County has fallen, and our family members are all in the hands of the son Liu Chan, and Yonghong is captured alive, so we can survive!"
"Capture Yonghong alive!"
"I want to live!"
....
In the camp of the Chinese army, Yonghong was almost frightened.
He didn't even have time to put on his armor, so he asked the guards to take out the horses and prepare to ride away alone overnight.
However...
The family members of his personal guards are also trapped in Yizhou County!
So, in Yonghong's desperate roar, he tied his guards into a dumpling.
