Chapter 707 Iron-fisted mutiny, digging earth to break the city defenses

The thieves who turned around and fled for their lives in advance were stared at by Chu Liancheng's murderous gaze, and their eyes involuntarily avoided them, but they were not convinced in their hearts.

After all, almost all of them are defenseless on their side, and when they face the rain of arrows, they are no match for these people who are covered in armor and have shields of different sizes in their hands. It's just that when he saw this Chu Liancheng's murderous face, no one dared to talk back to him.

Chu Liancheng didn't say anything more, but just ordered the thieves on the snake and scorpion mountain to remove their outer clothes except for their close-fitting clothes, and use the tools in their hands to grab the soil to make a big dirt bag, and make one for each piece of clothing.

But now it is in the cold winter and the moon, and these people have just experienced a few days of hunger and cold, and they can not stand it in this cold day with only a single coat. There was a lot of resentment among these thieves just now, and when they heard Chu Liancheng give such an order, a few people who dared to burst out.

One of the thieves with a sturdy figure and a fleshy face said loudly: "In this cold winter wax moon, I only wore a single coat and my whole body was frozen, where is there any strength to charge into battle." Besides, our brothers don't have any armor, and each of you has an iron plate in your hand, and you have an armor on your body. But it is at the very end, what is this? ”

Although what this person said is not unreasonable, in this case, even fools can see that they are using these mountain bandits as cannon fodder. As soon as the leader said this, everyone shouted loudly, and they all looked like they were about to mutiny.

However, Chu Liancheng's face was still cold without any change in expression, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight hint of ridicule.

"I'll tell you the truth, we are all Xiliang soldiers and horses, and we came here today to do something big. You and the others are all people who are against the imperial court, if we win this time, you are all qualified to join the Xiliang army, we are all brothers in the same team. ”

"But if you don't know what the crime is if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, or even instigate mutiny, then you don't know what the crime is, I will let someone tell you. ”

After Chu Liancheng finished speaking, he nodded to a person who looked like a general next to him, only to see this general say loudly: "Those who escape from the battle and instigate mutiny, the crime of killing on the spot is unforgivable." ”

Listening to Chu Liancheng's words, the arrogance of those thieves seemed to have subsided a little.

It's just that the big man who took the lead in speaking was undiminished, and roared loudly: "What kind of bird military law, you are doing things unfairly, treating our brother's life as a grass suke, Lao Tzu won't do it with you, let's go back to Snake and Scorpion Mountain if you want to go with me." ”

After the big man finished speaking, he turned his head and walked to the side. As he walked, he beckoned the thieves to follow him, those thieves had just been shot by a rain of arrows, and the thrilling mood had not yet passed, and he felt quite reasonable when he heard what this big man said.

Instead of attacking this sweet water shop barracks with these Xiliang troops, it is better to return to the snake and scorpion mountain to rob the house happily and easily. So at the beginning, the gangs followed the big men, and pulled out a posture of wanting to break up.

But he didn't go far, but he heard the sound of clothes breaking through the air overhead, but it was Chu Liancheng who jumped up from his horse and jumped over the heads of everyone, blocking the way of these people's advance. However, the other Xiliang soldiers did not take any measures, and the only person who blocked the way was Chu Liancheng.

Chu Liancheng didn't answer, only scratched the ground with his fingers, only to see that a very thin crack suddenly appeared on the ground and was several zhang long, and this skill was the manifestation of a strong person.

The thieves didn't know why, and they all stopped hesitantly for a while.

Chu Liancheng pointed to this line on the ground and said to the thieves: "Whoever crosses this line will die!"

For a while, all the thieves looked at each other. You look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to deal with it, only the big man who took the lead shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid, we are all raised by our parents and parents, we can't die for no reason, everyone rushed over with me to ask for a way to live." ”

After saying that, the big man was the first to rush through this crack and rushed forward. But the strange thing is that the running posture is a little strange, and after only a few steps, he starts to lean forward, as if the upper part of the body is still moving forward, but the legs and feet are not moving.

After running less than two feet away, the body that fell to the ground with a thud suddenly stretched forward, blood trickling out from around the body, and the body became a strange shape.

The thieves behind them all looked carefully, and the body of this big man had been cut and stacked on the ground piece by piece. This kind of death is extremely terrifying, as if it has been cut into pieces with a sharp blade.

The thieves behind were so frightened that they stopped their steps, and no one dared to cross the crack on the ground, it turned out that Chu Liancheng used the Li family's unique secret technique of cutting qi veins to cut the body of the big man into pieces.

Chu Liancheng was one of the five adopted sons of Li Meng. This secret technique of cutting the human body through the qi veins has already been made small. This big man didn't have any strength ability, and he couldn't resist the subtle strength that invaded the qi vein, so his body immediately turned into pieces.

This terrifying killing method immediately deterred all the snake and scorpion thieves, although these people wanted to escape their lives, but the Xiliang officer in front of him was fierce and cruel, and no one wanted to try this terrifying way of death.

Although there was only one man in the way, the hundreds of well-armed soldiers with fast horses he led were all eyeing him behind him.

If the two sides fight, their side will be completely inferior in terms of skills and equipment, and I am afraid that they will be killed by others in a short time. Now go back and be cannon fodder, maybe there is still a chance of life.

And this officer also said that as long as the sweet water shop barracks are attacked, the living people can join the Xiliang Army and be treated like fellow brothers, and it is also worth treating the dead horse as a live horse doctor, so let's give it a try.

So the thieves showed fear on their faces, slowly retreated, took off their clothes, and began to use the tools in their hands to dig into cloth bags.

These people did not have some weapons in their hands, most of them were temporary tools taken from the copper mines, although it was not very convenient to fight, but they were used to dig the earth to the fullest.

In a short time, the clothes on the thieves turned into huge cloth bags, and each of them had two or three on them. Chu Liancheng also taught these people how to tie it so that the soil inside would not spill out.

Seeing that these thieves didn't have enough dirt bags in their hands, with an order, those Xiliang soldiers ripped off the yellow cloth wrapped around their heads and the yellow cloth robes they were wearing, and threw them to those thieves to make cloth bags filled with soil.

At this moment, everyone had five or six bulging cloth bags, and fortunately, these thieves were strong, hanging these dirt bags on their necks at the elbow joints, carrying them on their shoulders and carrying them behind their backs, and their figures seemed to be a circle or two larger.

Although these thieves all obeyed Chu Liancheng's orders and turned their clothes into cloth bags, they didn't know what the use of doing so was.

Chu Liancheng saw that these thieves had already prepared the cloth bags, and ordered these thieves to gather forty shields, so that the more than 400 thieves were divided into pieces, and every ten people formed a team, which was lined up in front of the barracks in turn.

The ten-man squad was lined up like more than forty tiny poisonous insects, and the shields were held by the man at the front of the group.

I only heard Chu Liancheng say loudly: "Every ten of your squads rushed to the trench and gathered in one place, and threw all the dirt bags on your bodies into the trench. There are two points on both sides of the gate, and the outermost corner of the earthen wall is the responsibility of the others. Remember the order of your team, if you can't remember to run around on this battlefield, there is only a dead end. ”

Chu Liancheng excavated soil to make cloth bags and arranged formations. In the barracks, Wang Ying and his wife had long seen it clearly.

Wang Ying secretly said that it was not good in her heart.
