At the beginning of September, the thieves' brigade drove in the direction of Tai'an one after another, and this time the various departments gathered around Tai'an at different times, such as Zuo Guangxian, Shi Dayong and others arrived first, a wolf waited later, in early September in the vicinity of Tai'an broke out countless small encounters, each near hill was occupied by thieves with superior forces, and Zuo Guangxian also repeated the old trick several times, wanting to pretend to be a refugee to seize the city gate, but Wu Chuanyu and others set up an ambush at the city gate, but instead pit Zuo Guangxian once, his own elite soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, Zuo Guangxian never had any other ideas, honestly set up a formation, and approached the gate of Tai'an City.

Luo Wuche rode a black horse, followed a group of armor pacesetters to the north gate of Tai'an Tongji Gate, he and a group of armor pacesetters, they rode horses in a higher place, looking at the Tongji Gate at more than 500 steps, then saw that the city of Tai'an at this time was repaired like a beehive, in the eye can see the large and small forts, different heights, the crossbow machine is obviously set up above, and the lower part of the fort is full of barbs as thick as a child's arm, these barbs besiege the city, protect the base of these forts, obviously to prevent thieves from digging the root of the wall, not only that, but the foundation of the part above the barbs is still made of boulders, such stones, no matter how you dig, you can't dig it.

Tai'an is only a city of government, not the provincial capital, the city wall is not as high as the city, only two zhang eight, but it seems that the barbs below are more than the city wall, when the city was first hit, a lot of the elite of the siege fell from the ladder, it was pierced by these sharpened bamboo thorns, wooden thorns, the flow militia had thought of using knives and axes to flatten these barbs, but in the battle array, the weapons in the hands of each soldier are precious, if you jump a mouth will be troublesome, every soldier is unwilling to take the guy who eats in his hands to cut these wood and bamboo.

In addition to the rows of barbs under the city, you can see the officers and soldiers building a lot of horse noodles in the city, sticking out of the wall, and the crossbow machine or fire oil is placed on the horse surface, and the smell can be smelled five hundred steps away, and there is one of these horse faces almost a hundred steps, and this distance makes the city have no dead ends, and the two horse faces can easily support each other.

At the same time, a lot of corner towers were built on the head of the city, these corner towers were not built with wood, they were rebuilt at the back of the city wall, as high as four zhang five, the square circle reached three zhang, the height also exceeded the city wall two zhang three, there were torches inserted in the mouth of the trench above, and many arrow mouths were exposed on the side outside, and the openings were wider, so as to ensure that the crossbow arrows could be released to the militia members below.

The most exaggerated thing is that the officers and soldiers also stretched out a wooden watchtower on the top of these four zhang and five zhang, which is more than two zhang high, and together it is more than six zhang above the ground.

Luo Wuche put his eyes on the city again, because Tai'an is a city of government, there is no moat, which once made many generals of the militia think that Tai'an is easy to fight, but now look at the past, the river is not, in the place of two hundred steps away from the city wall, full of rejection horses, the officers and soldiers are very exaggerated to insert the lower part of these rejection horses into the soil, tied with iron chains between each other, that is to say, want to move these heavy plays, it takes great effort, and most of the rejection horses are put three layers in a row, or even put four layers, these wood are soaked in water for several days, can not be lit, it looks like a jungle of wood, Luo Wuche shuddered when he thought that he was going to guard against the arrows shot down from the city and move this thing at the same time.

The current city gate is not related, from time to time there is a whole team of cavalry riding in and out, they are about 200 people in a team, to respond to the city gates, do not think that these cavalry are also hiding in the urn city, turn out, at the same time on both sides of the city gate there are two small camps, are hiding soldiers, these camps face the thief side with a big wood, erected a two-person high wooden wall, there are five layers of horses in front of the wall, there are archers waiting on the wooden wall, there are two deep trenches in front of the wooden horse, I don't know how deep at present, the left and right sides open a wide door, the cavalry can rush out quickly, this wooden wall is not higher than the city wall, you can get the fire technical support on the city wall, such a camp has every city gate, I think it is the main place to place the cavalry, and the urn city is the place where the cavalry take turns to rest. The reason why the officers and soldiers did this was because the city gate could only produce about 200 cavalry at a time, and the wooden village did not have this limit, and it was also to place the ancestral and Zheng soldiers from Licheng.

This team took the lead in the surrender of the thief Li Chenglu, Li Chenglu made a great contribution, was appreciated by Hu Quan, and now it is Li Chenglu who takes these armored pacesetters, although Luo Wuche does not look down on Li Chenglu's character, but he still admires Li Chenglu's vision of fighting, these days, it is Li Chenglu who takes them to these armored soldiers near Tai'an and the officers and soldiers of Tai'an City to explore horses and hunt mountain soldiers. Originally, Shi Dayong and Zuo Guangxian suffered a lot of losses in this regard, but after Li Chenglu came, he concentrated the armor pacesetters and used them, otherwise the brigade of the militia would not have arrived at the designated place so smoothly, Li Chenglu even found an ambush with a scale of 3,000 officers and soldiers, which thwarted the plan of the officers and soldiers to ambush, which made the people below even more convinced.

Li Chenglu had a gloomy face, and looked at the place where his brother defected, not so much that the thieves were now fighting the city, but that they were sitting in the military camp with the city wall as a fortification, and now they can only see it, I don't know how many more they can't see, he rode down the hill, and Yu Qiangben on the side stepped forward to flattering: "General Li, do you want to continue to search and kill the officers and soldiers." Li Chenglu gave him a blank look, and didn't say much, the mountains and forests closest to Tai'an were cut down by the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and the wood became barbs under the city wall, and now the officers and soldiers will no longer send mountain soldiers in the mountains and forests, because it is a bare area, and the militia will have to run out of dozens of miles if they want to cut down trees.

In the distance, the new banner of the militia came out again, it was the sweeping king's department that drove to the city of Tongji Gate, and now it is being deployed, just under Li Chenglu's nose, the officers and soldiers of Tongji Gate took advantage of the fact that the sweeping king had not yet been armed, and the city head whistled, and immediately killed the sweeping king's department that was camping, and under Li Chenglu's nose, the ordinary prisoners who were the sweeping king's camp were cut down.

Li Chenglu glanced at it, recognized it as the Yan soldiers under Zu Tingnian, remembered that Zu Tingnian and his father-in-law came to the aid together, and his father-in-law died at the hands of Cui Guiyuan, but this Zu Tingnian was much more sleek, mixed out from under Cui Guiyuan's hands, Li Chenglu estimated the armor pacesetters behind him, there were more than three hundred, this is the elite of several teams he concentrated, the other party only had more than two hundred, thinking of his father-in-law, Li Chenglu pointed his hand, and rushed out first, and the armor pacesetters under him also rushed out, rushing towards the side of the Yan soldiers who were chasing and killing the captives, but before they could rush to the front, the Yan soldiers on the opposite side turned their horses, and returned to the original and ran to the city gate to retreat, Li Chenglu has not fainted enough to catch up, the other party has retreated to the range of bow and crossbow support at the head of the city, if he catches up, thousands of arrows will be fired in the city, he is not enough for the officers and soldiers to stuff their teeth, and these soldiers are also Hu Quan's heart, Hu Quan is definitely reluctant to take them to risk.

Li Chenglu immediately looked at the camp that had not yet been arranged by the sweeping king in front of him, and now it was still a mess, and the blood of the dead on the ground was mixed with the fortifications that had not been arranged, these hundred babies were forcibly pulled from Licheng and used to be cannon fodder, it didn't matter if they died, the soldiers of the militia on the ground were beating these prisoners, making them stand up and work on the fortifications again.

"Maybe it won't be able to beat this time. Li Chenglu glanced at the opposite city wall, the officers and soldiers on it made a laughing sound, Li Chenglu thought in his heart, there are enough people on the opposite side, it seems that there are still a lot of people, and these people are all a group, obviously the configuration of the killer team, more than 20 people are a group, these people are in the township, much more united than ordinary officers and soldiers.

On the seventh day of the first month of September, the brigade of the militia has obviously all arrived, this time the king of Xiao Ming came in person, raised the flag of the king of Ming at the city gate, and at the same time all parts of the city occupied all parts of the city of Tai'an, the main roads of transportation, and the main roads for reinforcements. The armoured soldiers, prisoners, and elites of the various departments add up, and there have been more than 100,000 people, and now they are going to attack Tai'an City head-on, Hu Quan originally wanted to besiege the city and send reinforcements, but according to the report of the Tanma, Wu Yuanji, who was far away outside the province, sent the last batch of grain and grass over last time, and ignored Tai'an City, and even the post was burned, Hu Quan wanted to deliberately let the other party's Tanma for help go out, so that Wu Yuanji could come over, but the Tai'an Mansion on the other side no longer sent out the Tanma for help, and it was clear that he wanted to fight with the thieves.

The thieves can't afford to consume, hundreds of thousands of people don't have to produce, they have to rely on robbery, that is, the prisoners robbed in Licheng, they also have to open their mouths to eat, and Tai'an on the opposite side has received strong support from Wu Yuanji, Wei Gongfu, etc., they don't know how much grain and grass armor they sent to the city, except that they didn't send people, everything was sent. Although the militia grabbed a lot of money and grain, they could only buy grain and grass by smuggling, and the price was extremely high. Wu Yuanji and these people saw that the thieves were coming to beat them, and immediately broke this dark line, and the most vicious thing was to impeach the emperor Yang Ge Lao and other orthodox factions for smuggling grain to the thieves, so that the people who originally wanted to make some money privately stopped selling grain to the rogue militia, stopped and looked at the direction of the wind, and sure enough, now the people of the two factions are pointing at each other and scolding each other, so no one sells grain to the rogue militia anymore.

The most hateful is Long Shizhong, when he was defending Licheng, he saw that Licheng was about to be lost, and sent his own soldiers to burn a lot of grain in the city, so that although the militia got a lot of military funds, they were not prepared for grain and grass.

At the same time, Tai'an City will also burn all the grain and grass that has not grown in the field, or cut them all down to feed the horses, and not leave any of them to the thieves who come to attack, and at the same time collect the peasants around the city in the city, or make them into people's strong, or better into city guards, and the color boy did not grab it alone.

Now that the color boy is looking at a large pile of gold and silver, but it can't be exchanged for food, the Qin bandits took the opportunity to put forward the human flesh plan again, not allowing the people captured from Licheng to eat enough, and forcing them to eat human flesh.

Now it's time to consume the population.

On the morning of the tenth day of the ninth month, after the militia had breakfast, King Xiao Ming set up his Ming Wang banner, and outside the Tongji Gate, the generals of all the departments arrived, and the work started.

All kinds of siege equipment have arrived, because the officers and soldiers have cut down trees, there are no ready-made trees to make chariots, lookouts, ladders and other things, only some of the simplest shield carts, as well as long hook ladders, many siege equipment behind have not been built, I am afraid that it will take more than ten days, Hu Quan even plans to transport siege equipment from Licheng, but it will not be transported until ten days later, and ten days, I don't know how much grain and grass will be consumed.

Luo Wuche got off the horse and took an iron shield from the horse, the weight was extremely heavy, the horse couldn't stand it, and Yu Qiangben on the side shouted: "What are you doing with an iron shield, isn't the cowhide shield very good?" Luo Wudao: "My cowhide shield is temporarily broken, and I am practicing strength, so I am latte." Yu Qiangben stared at him suspiciously, and couldn't think of how Luo Wuche could harm himself with an iron shield, so he didn't think about it, he also got off the horse, and took his cowhide shield, they are now in a group of armored pacesetters, before the armor pacesetters, there are more ordinary captives and ordinary armor soldiers, in short, the cannon fodder is in front, the elite is behind, the one who turns back, will kill that one, the armor soldiers monitor the captives, and the armor pacesetters monitor the armor soldiers, layer after layer.

A trombone in the back, in the beating and scolding of the soldiers, the captives carried hooks and ladders, pushed the shield cart, and flocked to the opposite city wall like ants, their clothes were all kind, colorful and green, very good-looking, Luo Wuche used to be one of them, but now he can cut others, if he finds that someone dares to turn around in the battle array, he can kill on the spot.

In the noise, the crowd rushed to the opposite side, tens of thousands of people were like a big nest of ants, they were uneven, many people didn't know how to hook the hook in front of the hook ladder to the city wall, and they didn't receive any training, Deng Dezhi insisted on teaching them some common skills, but Qin bandits disagreed, thinking that smart people would survive the pile of dead, and Se Gongzi finally agreed with Qin bandits.

Because they can only go forward and not backward, so most of them are the people in front of them pushing the people behind, in Luo Wuche's field of vision, a big pit appeared, the captives who rushed in front screamed and fell, this big pit reached a radius of three zhang, in Luo Wuche's field of vision, the people behind pushed the people in front, constantly filling the pit, and finally this pit was filled, filled with human corpses, the defenders at the head of the city did not even send arrows, most of the people were pushed by the people behind, they could only be pushed into this pit, and then the people behind stepped up, and the people in front stepped on it to death, and finally became a flat ground。

Then there were many pits, and the crowd of people who hit them often fell into them one by one, and some people began to want to run back, but the armor soldiers behind cut them back, and the red turbans on their heads were very conspicuous in the crowd, and this group was very positive, because if they performed well, they could be promoted to the crowd of armor pacesetters, so they showed no mercy to these captives, but anyone who turned back was hacked to death.

In a short impact, on the open ground in front of Tai'an City, more than 30 large pits were exposed, and these flat places that originally seemed to be able to bypass the Juma fortress were all traps arranged by officers and soldiers, specially reserved for thieves to step on, and now the thieves were really fooled. Because the officers and soldiers lacked morality, they laid these pits in front of the fortress and in front of the camp, and the captives wanted to rush up and step on them, so groups of captives fell into the pits like dumplings.

A group of captives finally rushed to a rejection of horses, here is a four-tiered rejection of horses, the forts on their left and right sides began to shoot, the upper part of these fortresses is covered with bowl-sized shooting holes, different levels, and the shots are also arranged in a circle, and they see the short arrows of the crossbow flying out like a four, most of the captives are under the rejection of the horse, they have no armor and shields, and even if they have, they cannot free their hands to defend themselves against the hands that shoot from the left and right front three sides A large group of people were trapped in the middle of the crossbow, and the heads fell to the ground one by one at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.

The armor soldiers in the back shouted loudly, their red turbans were very conspicuous in the crowd, and these shooters in the fort had plenty of time to aim, and many of these armor soldiers were also shot.

A soldier is more clever, loudly beckoned to a group of captives in front of him to dismantle the horses in front of the fort on the outermost side, here the horses are three rows and five layers, in this place will not be attacked by crossfire, it is safer, a group of homeless people rushed up, hundreds of people surrounded the thigh-thick horses, and moved the first layer vigorously, the general horses were tied with ropes, but these horses were nailed into a cross with iron nails, and the bottom was buried deeply, the shooters on the fort platform saw that the crowd was moving, and immediately concentrated on shooting this side, the first layer has not moved, and from time to time someone was shot by the opposite hand The crossbow shot fell to the ground, all kinds of howls came, most of the people who fell to the ground were trampled to death by their companions, and the first floor did not move for a long time, but the people let the other party shoot half of them, and the shooters in the fort took turns to shoot at the shooting hole on this side, and their physical strength was rested.

The soldiers in the back stepped forward and rushed up again with their knives to drive the captives behind, but the shooters in the fort began to shoot the soldiers behind the battle, in the eyes of Luo Wuche, they saw a red turban being shot to the ground by an arrow, and the weapons in their hands were thrown into the air, and the shooters in the fort did not shoot the prisoners in front of them now, because the horse not only sank, but also soaked in water, and buried deeply, and could not move for a while, and began to shoot the soldiers behind, after the soldiers were shot down one by one, the front of the fort platform waved a red flag, and the small village near the city gate suddenly opened the gate on the left, and a group of killers came up, and they were now divided into two teamsWith a team of ten people, more mobile and flexible, I saw them rushing up, slashing and killing the unarmed homeless, these captives had the courage to confront the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, turned around and ran back, the officers and soldiers behind immediately began to chase, hundreds of his captive homeless people fell backwards in this section, the soldiers waved their knives and cut a few, they couldn't stop it, and they also began to flee backwards, Li Chenglu gave an order, and shouted: "The third team stepped forward to supervise the battle." Luo Wuche took his own iron shield, and a group of armored pacesetters stepped forward, walked dozens of steps, then saw the upside-down crowd coming to this side, without Li Chenglu's order, the armor pacesetters lined up in two rows, together to the opposite side, but where anyone dared to face to face with the armored soldiers, they were cut with a knife, after cutting some, the crowd began to rush forward from the new, the officers and soldiers saw the opposite side and rushed back, and then retreated back to the camp at the gate of the city again, the captives began to carry the difficult process of rejecting the horse again, many people broke down, crying, these captives lost their families and wives after the thieves broke through the city, and were driven to the prisoner camp of the militia, used as cannon fodder, now on the battle front, the last bit of hope of surviving is so slim.

Li Chenglu saw that the progress of the project of these captives was so slow, and the other party kept shooting at the crowd below in the shot, looking at this progress, he didn't know when he would be able to move away from these rejected horses, and ordered the shooters in the third team of armored pacesetters to come forward to cover the shooting, Luo Wuche took the two stone bows and handed over his shield to his companions, and the armored pacesetter who covered for Luo Wuche exclaimed: "Brother, why do you use an iron shield." Luo Wudao: "The old one is broken, I will use it, and I will also use iron when I cover you later, isn't it good?" The archer of the armor pacesetter is a shot, and the other is covered with a shield, and the armor didn't think much about it, nodded and agreed, anyway, Luo Wuche had to cover for him for a while, although the iron shield was heavy, it was not a big problem.

Dozens of shooters approached that "A Two" Luo Wuche knelt on the ground on one knee, opened the bow, and pulled the arrow away with Mongolian archery, and a pacesetter in front of Luo Wuche took his iron shield and blocked it in front of him, and the archers on the opposite fort platform also found these armorers, and immediately turned the crossbow and shot at them, but most of them did not shoot, because the armor was a group of two to cooperate with each other, the front one held a shield, and the back one opened a bow, and the short arrows of crossbow arrows were issued on the cowhide shieldThe sound of "snatching", only the front of Luo Wuche is the sound of metal colliding "ding", and Luo Wuche's shield is iron, of course, strong.

Seeing all the armor of the bow, the armor has a tacit understanding at the same time to lift the shield, the armor shooter immediately to the fort platform of the shooting hole to release arrows, the sound of playing cotton like a single sound, the opposite of the shooting hole in the person immediately someone hit the arrow, Luo Wuche saw an officer and soldier poke out of the head to shoot a crossbow, was shot by a companion with an arrow, the officer and soldier was hit by three or four arrows in the head, immediately lying on the mouth, the people behind him quickly pulled him down, the armor pacesetter's archery skills are outstanding, that is, Luo Wuche, that day also wanted to be shot to death in the strong run, his archery skills are also an important reason why he can enter the armor pacesetter。

The armor fired a few more rounds at these firing ports and the mouth of the moat, and after a few times, they did not see the officers and soldiers releasing arrows downward, and the Luo Wu rider was a little sour, so he stood up, and took turns with his companions, he took the shield, and the companions who had covered for him just now opened their bows to see if the faces of any officers and soldiers appeared in the shooting holes.

The officers and soldiers on the opposite side were silent for a while, and in the cheers of the captives, the first row of rejected horses was finally loosened, and the prisoners put the rejecting horses vertically, because these rejecting horses were made sturdy, and they were constantly chopped for a while, so putting these rejecting horses vertically could not affect the movement of the next layer of rejecting horses, and the red flag waved twice behind them, which was obviously extremely happy.

Luo Wuche always felt that something was wrong, because the officers and soldiers on the opposite side must have more than these tricks, what was the next move, but he didn't come up with it, when waiting for the second floor to loosen the horse, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side of the "Jiaer" fort platform took a layer of thick shields on the top of the top layer, Luo Wuche didn't know what the other party wanted to do, and then the opposite side suddenly issued a "tom" Luo Wuche's ears listened, he knew that it was the sound of the crossbow loosening and moving, Luo Wuche shouted, raised his hand shield, and felt a huge force hit his shoulders for a while, and at the same time made a piercing sound of metal striking, Luo Wuche howled, fell backwards, his body could not bear this huge force, sat down, and the shooter who was in his group fell to the ground, the two were embarrassed for a while, Luo Wuche's ears were still around the harsh echo of the ground, but his companion woke up first, and immediately lifted the iron shield that fell to the ground, and after putting a row of pedal crossbows on the opposite side, the shooter on the lower level immediately let go Crossbows and bows and arrows, Luo Wuche's companions were not hit so suddenly, so he woke up early, Luo Wuche looked at the other armored shooters around him, they were extremely miserable, and some of them were torn apart by the crossbows, because they used shields wrapped in cowhide, and these shields could prevent their hands Crossbows and bows and arrows, but can not prevent the foot crossbow, the arrow of the foot crossbow is as sharp and heavy as a short spear, flying over to tear people apart, the cowhide shield can not block the other party, another group of archers on one side, two people were shot through by a crossbow arrow, and at the same time nailed to the ground, in a forty-five degree shape, his hand shield was shot into pieces, the bow and arrow were also thrown aside, the two layers of armor on the body could not stop the powerful crossbow arrow, Luo Wuche looked at the others again, it was similar, there were those who were shot off by a crossbow and howled on the ground, and some were shot by a crossbow and lost their heads, and the officers and soldiers shot the crossbow once, and the shooters on the lower floor of the fort got the opportunity and came out again, shooting at the unprotected militia below, and for a time most of the armored soldiers of the third team died.

The armored soldier who was in a group with Luo Wuche gasped and said, "Brother, you are still prescient. Luo Wuche stared at his iron shield, the iron shield is now cracked by a boss, I am afraid that I will be reimbursed if I use it a few more times, so he replied: "I have seen officers and soldiers use a kind of pedal crossbow before, brother, you also prepare an iron play, this thing is good to live, I estimate that there are eight pedal crossbows in a fort on the opposite side, I am afraid that there is a bed crossbow for the broken car, and there is an iron one in your hand." ”

At this time, the second fort waved the red flag again, and the soldiers and horses at the gate of the city immediately rushed out, and it was the kind of squad-style killer team, this time the prisoners in front did not have the supervision behind them, and the officers and soldiers were cut backwards again in a few strokes, and few of them were alive, and they were immediately dispersed by the captives, and Luo Wuche saw the captives fleeing backwards in horror, and they crossed the surveillance armor and fled backwards.

But the armor can not escape, the military discipline of the armor pacesetter is not a joke, if you escape, your family will also be affected, so when you see the officers and soldiers approaching and also hit the armor who kicked the crossbow once, Luo Wuche took his own big knife and prepared to fight hand-to-hand with the opposite side.

But finally there was a retreating golden sound from behind, Luo Wuche breathed a sigh of relief, holding his companion, about to retreat, he at the same time put the shield in his hand in the direction of the side of the officers and soldiers, one side retreated, the sound of "dingding" came from time to time on the hand shield, the two supported each other, lowered their figures, moved backwards, and other armor was also the same action.

Suddenly, the armor who was in his group shouted, "Be careful." Before Shi Bai could do anything, he felt a stream of blood on his neck, and when he looked back, he saw that his companion had been shot in the head by an arrow, his eyes were wide open, and he pointed backwards.

Luo Wuche looked back, there was a figure mixed in the fleeing crowd, black and thin, and he couldn't see clearly, Luo Wuche yelled: "Yu Qiangben, I'll fuck your mother." ”

In the chaotic crowd, the wounded people howled loudly, some armor soldiers were going in and out, constantly carrying the wounded people down on all fronts, and the general qualifications to go down the line of fire were above the armor soldiers, and the prisoners naturally could not get off the line of fire.

Walking through the corridor, a military doctor with gauze bumped into Luo Wuche, Luo Wuche lifted the knife and scolded: "Fuck, did you see Yu Qiangben that little cub?" The military doctor shook his head in fright, Luo Wuche pushed him away, walked to the middle and scolded: "Yu Qiangben, get out of your dog's day, you dog's day put a cold arrow in your back, you didn't shoot me today, let me find an opportunity tomorrow and hack you to death with a knife." The crowd suddenly got out of the way, no one dared to pay attention to him, Luo Wuche shouted and scolded twice, and he didn't see Yu Qiangben, so he heard someone behind him: "What are you doing here, do you want to be embarrassed?" Luo Wuche looked back, it was Shi Dayong, on the other side was Yu Qiangben, who had just shot his companion with a cold arrow, at this time he had a smug face, and there was a group of armor soldiers behind the two.

Luo Wuche worked hard, pressed his breath into his stomach, a smile appeared on his face, and stepped forward and said: "The little one has seen the adult, the adult has made meritorious service in the battle today, and the little one admires it." Shi Dayong said: "You go back and sort out the rout, don't be here, maybe Marshal Hu Quan will have to check here, if you hit it, your head will not be safe." Luo Wuche smiled: "Alas", walked over, and saw Yu Qiangben's proud face, Luo Wuche smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother, your great kindness, I will never forget it." Yu Qiangben also smiled: "Where and where, each other." ”

Back in the camp, Luo Wuche secretly planned in his heart, it was unrealistic to use Shi Dayong to kill Qiangben, and now he was thinking about how to kill Qiangben, it was best to kill him in the battle array, so that no one could see it.

On this day, the situation at Fort No. 2 was similar at the other gates of Tai'an, where the captives tried to move the horses, but they suffered heavy casualties, and on the first day of the attack, many of them were killed by the crossbows and crossbows on the forts, and the result was only a few horses.

At night, the fire shines in front of the gate of Tai'an City is silent, the fire of the torch illuminates the corpses on the ground, flickering and darkening, flashing and flashing, Luo Wuche and a team of armored pacesetters with armor soldiers, quietly touching the night road, not lighting torches, by a little moonlight and torches on both sides, to the front of the second, third, fourth to the place of the fort.

Luo Wuche glanced at the side, Yu Qiangben was in that team, and now Luo Wuche's idea of killing Yu Qiangben far exceeded the others, but now the two of them are not in the same team, even if they are in the first team, they have no chance to start.

The crowd quietly moved forward, the armor soldiers all had their name tags in their mouths, but the armor pacesetters did not need it, their combat power was naturally not needed, and the crowd moved forward quietly.

Fifty paces in front of them, a group of officers and soldiers are nervously carrying out the corpses in a big pit, and they are digging new pits, these tunnels are important obstacles to prevent the thieves from impacting, a group of people on the left are carrying the horse back again, there are actually plasterers in the muddy water, the bottom of the horse and the soil are tightly combined, Luo Wuche also smelled the smell of lime, the people on the opposite side are obviously the kind of engineering group of 21 people in a group, these people are familiar with each other, and they are defending the countryside, and the fighting spirit is not strong.

Luo Wuche took his head and quietly touched thirty steps, on one side a soldier pulled out his knife, Luo Wuche hurriedly held down the hand of the soldier who drew the knife, and now pulled out the weapon, which is easy to reflect, so that the people on the opposite fort platform can find it, so it is necessary to wrap the weapon with a cloth, and then kill it when it is close.

Luo Wuche waved his hand, so that the whole team of armor soldiers stopped, more than thirty steps can see the figure of the other party, during the day they rushed through, there is no pit, Luo Wuche plans to stop and take a look.

A soldier in the back didn't hold back, took a few steps forward, and wanted to see clearly, Luo Wuche said in a low voice: "Get back." The soldier didn't listen, and took a few steps forward.

A scream of "Ahh

A piece of torches were suddenly thrown down on the opposite side, these torches were loose oil, and it was not easy to extinguish when thrown on the ground, illuminating a group of people lying on the ground through, and the sound of the crossbow turning "squeak" immediately sounded on the fort platform, and Luo Wuche shouted: "Follow me up." He jumped first, took his iron shield, and rushed at the men who were thirty paces on the opposite side.

Some of the armor soldiers reacted slowly, hesitating to rush up, but the armor reacted much faster, and immediately rushed up, when Luo Wuche rushed up, he also deliberately stepped on the torch and stepped on the torch to extinguish it, and the people behind him were slow, and the crossbow on the fort platform shot down, these crossbows were shot down by a dense crowd, Luo Wuche rushed in front, and there were only a dozen armor armor around him, and there was a scream from behind, and the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air.

Luo Wuche kicked the people of an officer and soldier who was transporting the corpse into the pit, and beat the people who wanted to get up from the pit with the back of a knife, and then rushed into the crowd of people.

After Luo Wuche cut down two, he thought that the other party would retreat, and he didn't want these people to be villagers, and he wouldn't throw people away and run alone, a few people took an iron pickaxe and surrounded them, Luo Wuche cut a few more times, scared a few away, and saw the sound of a whistle behind the people, and several killer teams drove here. In Luo Wuche's view, the combat power is comparable to the general armor, Luo Wuche has only more than ten armor soldiers around him, if the other party is surrounded, he must be dead, at this time Luo Wuche saw that there was still no movement on the left, and looked at the torch on the ground, and his heart was ruthless, he picked up the torch and threw it in the direction of the left.

The pine resin torch fell a few dozen steps to the left, and a group of people lying on the ground were immediately exposed, and it was Yu Qiangben who took the lead, and he stared at Luo Wuche with hatred in the firelight.

The first three and the fourth forts all blew their whistles, and there were actually dogs barking, Luo Wuche took the opportunity of the firepower to concentrate on that side, and shouted to the armor behind him: "Run back, scatter and run." Luo Wuche put the shield behind his head, lowered his body, and went backwards, their order was not to let the officers and soldiers have the opportunity to clean up the pit on the ground, the goal was reached, and they had to retreat, when Luo Wuche ran through the ambush just now, he saw that the unlucky guy who was pierced by the iron quinoa was falling to the ground, and his body became a sieve, a fool in front of Luo Wuche didn't know how to use it but wiped it, and stepped on the barb, and fell to the ground after a while and was shot to death by the officers and soldiers on the fort platform, Luo Wuche exhaled, wiped the soles of his feet on the ground, carried the iron on his back, and kicked away the thistle, and now the firepower of the officers and soldiers is concentrated on the other side, hand The sound of the crossbow swishing past Luo Wuche's ears, Luo Wuche saw that the people who didn't follow the rush just now were now lying on the ground, a forest of crossbow arrows and guns grew on their corpses, Luo Wuche didn't look at it, so he hurried back, and the sound of Yu Qiangben's miserable howl on the left side was coming, I don't know if Yu Qiangben was plotted to death by himself, Luo Wuche laughed in a low voice: "Die, die, I don't believe that your luck is so good every time." ”

The harassment at night did interrupt the progress of the other party, but the sacrifice was also half greater, and when Luo Wuche came back, he saw the soldiers who went out together, and only came back twenty percent.

Luo Wuche carried a big knife and stared at Yu Qiangben in front of him proudly.

Yu Qiangben was injured, a crossbow arrow nailed to his shoulder, if it weren't for Luo Wuche of course throwing the torch out, their team would not have been so seriously killed and injured, at that time they were in a group in the open space in front of the Jiasanbaotai, the Jiasanbaotai was between the three forts, it was the part of the pinzi that was sunken in, when Luo Wuche threw a torch over, they were exposed, and the three forts were shooting at them, kicking crossbows and hands The crossbows concentrated on them, and their team couldn't run, and seven adults died on the spot, but Yu Qiang ran for his life and was only injured, but he still survived.

Luo Wuche whistled proudly, he didn't dare to do it before, but no one could see who clearly tonight, and the ghost knew who threw the torch at them, But it didn't kill Yu Qiangben, Luo Wuche was still unwilling, seeing Luo Wuche's likeness, although Yu Qiangben's face was ruthless, he knew that now was not the time to settle accounts with Luo Wuche, Yu Qiangben said in a low voice: "Dog scholar, I will kill you one day, I will kill your whole family, and let you cut off your children and grandchildren." Luo Wuche replied: "One day, I will also kill you, between us, there are still many words." The two looked at each other for a while, looked at the armored soldiers and armored pacesetters of the brigade on the side, and knew that they couldn't do anything here, so they each pressed their own killing intent for each other, and the two went separately.

The next day, when the sky was shining again, Hu Quan changed the strategy of attack.

The day before, tens of thousands of prisoners were besieged on three sides, but today Hu Quan concentrated tens of thousands of people in Tongjimen, and tens of thousands of prisoners were in one place, even if there were many dead people, they could also break through this place, even if they were filled, they could also fill the pit in front.

Luo Wuche, as an old armorer, took his own hand shield, looked at the crowd in front of him, a group of armor soldiers in front, and then forward, there were many prisoners who were not neatly dressed, Qin bandits ordered to tear off the clothes of many prisoners, and now you can see the breasts of the women, they are trembling in the wind, and the sound of children crying is also mixed in it, Luo Wuche frowned for a long time, he also has a little unbearable, but now there are many such cases, Qin bandits ordered the captives in the city to be escorted to Tai'an here, on the way to Tai'an, Luo Wuche drove to Tai'an, along the way, I saw the old Baiwa who died on the side of the road, and the Qin bandits did not give them enough to eat, and let these captives walk a hundred miles of road, along the way if they are not in good health, they naturally fall on the side of the road, slowly die, Qin bandits also use these captives to escort military funds, tired to death, the body is thrown on the side of the road.

A team of vests came out on the left, these vests rode their horses and galloped more than 500 steps in front of the Tongji Gate, and drove a group of captives forward, most of these captives were women, they stumbled, and some of them ran in the direction of the city, and the vests behind opened their bows, although the soft bow of the cavalry was not strong, but the strength to shoot these people was there, these women went in the direction of the fort, Luo Wuche saw clearly on the mound behind him, and sighed to a group of armor around him while Yu Qiangben sighed: " It's a pity, maybe there are beautiful ones among them. ”

Originally, I wanted to use them to find out if there was a pit, but I didn't want to wave the flag on the opposite gate, and immediately shoot arrows on the fort, these women rushed to the bottom of the fort, and after the first few were shot to death, the people behind screamed, and ran back, not wanting the vests to shoot arrows too, and shot these women to death.

The idea of using women to explore the way was made by Qin bandits, and in the eyes of Qin bandits, they did not use their efforts and consumed food, which was very useless.

After Luo Wuche, he was about to drive these captives to attack the city, and he didn't want to drive another group of women up behind, Luo Wuche's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Because these women were naked, running in the cold wind, and the vests behind them made the sound of laughter, holding whips to drive behind, these women were frightened and frightened, covered some parts of their bodies with their hands, and then twisted their bodies, and ran towards Tongji Gate, Luo Wuche turned his head away, not wanting to see the expressions of these women, nor wanting to listen to the laughter of those vests.

I saw the quartermaster Qin Bandit on the top of the mountain, pointing at the naked woman running below with his finger, pointing to the country, full of spirit and laughter.

The gate on the opposite side was also silent for a moment, and some women bypassed the barrier, bypassed the fort, and then rushed to the gate.

Luo Wuche still turned his head around, wanting to see what the fate of these women would be, and whether there was any possibility of salvation.

An old woman, her body already has an old complexion, maybe she doesn't take a bath, she doesn't look like she can see the characteristics of a woman except for her sagging breasts, this old woman finally rushed to the place closer to the city gate, seeing that she was about to rush to the city gate, she didn't want to scream, she fell down, it turned out that there was a big pit at the city gate, and in Luo Wuche's sight, she was never seen again.

The other women screamed, trying to bypass this place and rush towards the city gate, but then the other party gave the order, and the archers appeared on the city, and shot arrows one by one, knocking them down, and in the scream, Luo Wuche saw that the last one also died under the barbs under the base of the wall, and this woman covered her chest with her back when she died, revealing only a bare back.

Luo Wuche's heart was a little blocked, so he turned his head, and saw the vests cheering again, they rushed out, holding spears more than four hundred paces, riding horses and cheering, the spears carried the heads of babies, severed hands and feet, these vests whistled for a while, and then pushed out some women, these women were naked without exception, and then they saw the vests shield their hands, standing behind the naked women, and scolding these women loudly, asking them to come forward. He lowered his body and drove the women forward.

This time, as soon as they arrived at the shooting distance of the fort, the shooters on the fort did not hesitate at all, and shot the crossbow arrows under the horse, seeing that this trick did not work, the vests fled quickly, and when they turned back, they also cut these naked women with one or two knives, and suddenly the miserable screams of the women sounded in front of the empty city gate, and some of the undead lay on the ground, and the bare bodies and the soil reflected a sharp contrast, and the shooters on the fort also immediately shot them to death, so that they had less suffering.

Luo Wuche saw that the Qin bandits at the highest place said something to King Xiao Ming, and the horn of the general attack finally blew.

Luo Wuche pushed back a soldier who wanted to retreat, and scolded loudly: "If you dare to retreat, I will cut you." The soldier slammed into it again.

The crowd in front of them let out a terrible cry, and the horse was one man tall, because it could not be moved, so the people behind squeezed the people in front of them, filled the spikes with their bodies, and then the people behind stepped on it.

The crossbow in the fort did not stop for a moment, but the advantage of the number of people came into play, and a crossbow was fired on the opposite side, and the people nailed by the arrows were still nailed to the ground, swinging around on the ground, but no one looked at it, and the people who were squeezed to death were more than those who died under the guns and arrows of the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers in the opposite village were killed twice, and both times the prisoners were cut backwards, but the armor and armor were forced back.

On the other hand, Yu Qiangben cut down a few, forcing the armor soldiers up again, and now the armor man also rushed forward.

Luo Wuche heard a huge noise in his ears, these sounds were relatively single, which made people extremely irritable, Luo Wuche looked back, he couldn't see the overall situation clearly, and saw that the number of arrows and stones flying over his head was too many to count, but fortunately he didn't hit him. Luo Wuche shouted, looked at Yu Qiangben again, and now he was still thinking about how to plot against him.

In the noise, the captives rushed through row after row of rejected horses, the corpses of people formed a slope, so that the people behind could rush over, the flag behind waved, more people gathered over, want to rush over from this place, Luo Wuche saw a group of people screaming from the five zhang wide side rushed over, a group of people formed a bee group, the people in front became a torrent, but in a scream, the people in front suddenly fell into the pit, the people behind screamed and squeezed in, the original officers and soldiers were very lacking in morality, after a few rows of horses were rejected, they actually dug a big pit, the soil in this pit is naturally used to build a fort, there seems to be water in the pit, maybe barbs, maybe both.

The force of inertia made the people behind unable to stop, everyone screamed and squeezed out, many people were pushed down by the people behind, stopped for a while, and the order was given again, anyway, they were going to rush over, and the crowd tactics broke the opponent's city defense.

This pit is at least more than five zhang long, three zhang wide, originally there were only a few pillars under the fence, dug deep up to more than one zhang, to fill such a pit with human lives, I don't know how many people, finally after the crowd was sparse, the people behind were scattered, retreated, there was a scream in the pit, Luo Wuche could see countless hands stretched out from the pit, asking for help outside, the crowd to both sides, to the back, keep running, and the pit was only a few dozen steps away from the fort, the people on the fort platform threw down the oil can, and then threw down the torch, the flames rolled up in the pit, the burnt smell of human flesh came, just like the New Year's roast pork。

Luo Wuche opened his bow and shot down an officer and soldier who threw torches, but this did not help the battle situation in any way, one hand The crossbow was shot, shot at his hand shield, after seeing the sparks, the officers and soldiers on the fort platform scolded, as if they wanted to drag the crossbow over and shoot this guy with the iron shield, Luo Wuche didn't have the heart to test whether his iron shield was unreliable, and drilled under the corpse's platform, the smell of blood made Luo Wuche uncomfortable for a while, although he smelled a lot of blood, but saw hundreds of people stacked together, with different faces, forming a small corpse mountain, such a situation, I don't know if hell is better than here.

Other places are not much better, looking at Luo Wuche, you can see that most of the people in other places are retreating, and the flag is also rolled upside down, it is to recruit armor and armor soldiers to defend, Luo Wuche scolded, I don't know what will happen next? Now I looked at the left near, and the other armor was also hiding, but I didn't see Yu Qiangben, but immediately Luo Wuche heard a more terrifying sound.

There were more shouts and scolding from behind, and it seemed that more prisoners were going to storm the fort, Luo Wuche hurriedly lowered his body and turned around, they were the people who were responsible for driving the prisoners into battle, but they were not the ones who were driven in front, if they didn't go back quickly, they would be finished after a while.

When Luo Wuche returned to the formation with the iron shield, the armorers had tidied up their formation, and the armor soldiers were also standing behind, forming a passage on both sides, so that more prisoners could rush out of the large formation of the rogue militia, so as to storm the fortress on the opposite side. Luo Wuche also lined up, and the soldiers on both sides left a tolerant passage of more than ten zhang, and saw countless old and weak people being driven out, the team was larger than any time, and the number of people was more than any time, and countless cries sounded on the side of Luo Wuche's Wei Duo, and there were women holding their children, they didn't know that they were going to be driven to fill the ditch.

The flow of people rushed over, the soldiers on both sides fought these people from time to time, Luo Wuche saw a mighty torrent rushing to this side, the militia thought of a way to concentrate manpower to fill a little, this method is also theoretically feasible, Luo Wuche secretly said in his heart: "I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers will go out of several other city gates to kill." "I didn't know that this was Qin Bandit's bad idea.

Sure enough, as soon as the captives rushed in, a row of crossbow arrows came from the opposite side, and they ran backwards in a big way, and then when the officers and soldiers of the small village at the city gate came out again, these people scattered in all directions in alarm, but the wandering militia did not care.

The place in front of Luo Wuche suddenly became colorful, a crowd rolled back, the flow of people moving forward was blocked, the official queen launched a counterattack at several other city gates, the nearest city gate cavalry came out from the side, so that Hu Quan had to transfer the vests over, when the two sides fought, these prisoners rolled back, the crowd scattered, the drums behind the sound of the drum again, Luo Wuche and others lined up, and cut down the retreating captives again.

When it was dark, the itinerant militia gathered their troops and returned to the camp, and at this time, the corpses of the people were like hills, colorful, and spread on the brown soil, but the banner of the city did not change at all.

The trench under the fort was filled with human corpses, and the pit before it was filled with more dead people, and this time it was finally under the fort, but it had not yet rushed to the base of the wall, and the barbs were full of human blood, and mixed with the smell of human flesh.

Now the Qin bandits' depopulation plan has finally achieved its goal.
