Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 636 Attack and Kill
"Whoever makes noise at will will be cut without mercy!" Hou Yan drew out his horizontal knife from the Shouzhou city tower and shouted loudly.

The Bian soldiers under him are all good, they are all old men who have experienced battles. Although their morale is low, they are not enough to make trouble on the spot.

I lost some manpower outside the city before, and now there are [-] left, all of whom have gone to the city.

What is really dangerous is the forced recruitment of nearly 3000 strong men.

It is common sense that strong men and healthy women can also play a role in defending the city. The question is under what circumstances can it play a role?

Surrounded by the enemy, and the enemy is more ferocious, the soldiers and civilians in the city are united under the pressure and resist desperately, so even a half-grown boy or woman can go to the top of the city to fight as cannon fodder, after all, they have the advantage of location.

But is this the case today?Obviously not.

There are at least two local forces in Shouzhou outside the city, namely the state general Wei Shoujie, He Chongnian's department, and local tyrant Zhu Jing's department.

Wei Shoujie is the righteous son of Wei Qian, and Wei Qian is a general of the former governor Zhang Ao.

He Chongnian is the younger brother of He Zangyao, the one who drank with Zhang Conghui and caused Jiang Yanwen, the governor of the Sun Ru faction, to kill all the generals.Later, Zhang Conghui was cut off from the waist and abandoned the city, and He Zangyao was escorted to Bianzhou, where he had his spine broken and tortured to death.

Both of them inherited the local military and political forces in Shouzhou before Sun Ru arrived.

Zhu Jing represented the local tyrants and rangers, but his prestige should not be underestimated, and he was appointed as the governor of Shouzhou by the "imperial court", with a so-called righteous name.

These two forces came forward together to persuade the city to surrender, and the effect is naturally very outstanding.

At least, the newly recruited young men quit, there was a lot of noise, and some people just slipped away.There are few soldiers in Bian, so they can't take care of them at all.And Jiang Congxu's more than a thousand soldiers are not very dedicated. They are Sun Ru's old troops, and it is an expedient measure to seek refuge with Zhu Quanzhong.What's more, Jiang Congxu's words may not be easy to use, and his subordinates' opinions are not completely unanimous.

Hou Yan saw the signs of danger, so he made a decisive decision and ordered the sergeants to arrest a few young men who had the most trouble, and raised their knives and dropped them.After a while, the sergeants handed over the bloody head.

Hou Yan grabbed the head, without looking at it, and threw it at the trembling crowd, saying: "Everyone should return to their own defense, and there must be no mistakes."

"Boom, boom, boom..." There were bursts of drumming under the city, followed by waves of shouts of killing.

Hou Yan turned his head to look, only to see that Xia Jun outside the city had already assembled a batch of simple siege equipment and was heading towards this side.

He was a little surprised. Bandit Shao is really brave. Now there are only more than ten thousand soldiers. How dare he attack the city?how dare you? !

Can't we wait a few more days to rectify the interior before attacking the city?Give me a few days!

Shouzhou Ding Zhuang, who had just been stunned by the head, let out another burst of uproar.The Bian soldiers glared at them, drew their knives and guns, and pretended to kill them.It did scare them, but it also broke them completely.

Someone yelled and ran away, and soon led other people, and the large-scale escape began.

"Stop! It doesn't matter if you run away. After Xia Bandit entered the city, he killed your whole family. It's too late for regret!"

"Fuck you! There are Wei Shoujie and Zhu Jing outside the city. Let's vote for him, so we won't be harmed."

"The summer bandit killed Yingye—"

"Get lost! Neither Zhu Quanzhong nor Shao Shude are good people. I will only vote for Shijun Zhu."

"Where is Jiang Congxu? Catch him and kill him. Shouzhou belongs to Shouzhou people, not Liang people, nor Xia people. Kill these Cai thieves."

"Outsiders get out of Shouzhou!"

Chaos is inevitable, the nine hundred Bian soldiers on the top of the city were rushed to pieces, and their morale was inevitably affected.

When the ladder car arrived at the bottom of the city, Zhu Jing's two thousand strong men climbed up the ladder and quickly jumped to the top of the city.

Without being greeted by anyone, the flustered Bian soldiers subconsciously launched a counterattack. With the cooperation of three or five people, it only took a moment to chop down and stab the first wave of more than ten people who ascended first, which showed good fighting qualities .

But this is just their subconscious and mechanical counterattack, it's just a manifestation of their cooking skills, but the core problem has not been solved: no one wants to die!

Zhu Jing was furious when he saw it.Agui led the team, he was still very excited when he climbed the tower, but he was slashed on the neck with a knife, and the blood rolled down.

King Kong Nu led the second wave of people to kill.

The two sides fought fiercely up and down the top of the city. From time to time, people screamed and rolled down, most of them were Zhu Jing's subordinates.

They are good at guerrilla sneak attacks by using complex terrain, but when they fight head-to-head, they are chopped to pieces by the Bian soldiers who have been played around by them.

At this moment, Zhu Jing realized that if he really wanted to secure his position as governor of Shouzhou, the grassroots team he used to be was very important.Even if King Xia didn't replace him in the future, he wouldn't be able to stop Yang Xingmi or Zhu Quanzhong from killing him.

Realizing this, Zhu Jing put away his small thoughts, and no longer dared to be arrogant, and no longer dared to underestimate the heroes of the world.

The tragic fight ended soon, and the King Kong slave died in battle!
Jackal's eyes were red, leading the third wave of people to rush up.

At the same time, shouts of killing also sounded from the other side, and 2000 people from Wei Shoujie and He Chongnian's troops began to attack the city.

Zhu Jing became more and more anxious. If he couldn't conquer Shouzhou first, how could he suppress those state soldiers and generals in the future?
"Jiang Congxu has run away!" Crying shouts sounded one after another from the Shouzhou city tower.

The air seemed to be stagnant.The siege party suddenly burst into applause, everyone was brave and their morale was boosted.

The resistance of the Bian soldiers seemed to have weakened a lot at once, and the number of people appearing on the top of the city gradually decreased.

Zhu Jing pushed away his entourage on the left and right, and rushed out with 300 people, intending to personally attack the city.

Those who stood on the top of the wall were never driven down again.The jackal slave picked up a spear and stabbed it again and again, which was unstoppable.

He knew that he had saved his life. If Bian Bing still fought to the death, his ending would probably be the same as that of Agui and Vajra Slave.But luck is also a part of strength. Jiang Congxu's escape was just right, directly bringing down the last trace of the defender's will to fight.

Shouzhou City, take it!
……

Tianxiong Army envoy Zang Dubao finally arrived in Anfeng County.

To his surprise, there was actually a group of cavalry cruising outside the county seat, and it seemed that they had just arrived.I saw them with black ribbons, black armor, and black flags, holding horse spears, and they looked very capable.

"Form the formation! Kill the enemy!" Zang Dubao ordered.

Ten General Li Lin ordered a battalion of [-] soldiers and began to put on armor.

The sergeants took out their two-handed swords and chatted happily, as if they were not worried about the upcoming battle at all.

There were more than [-] thieves riding, and after seeing them from a distance, they gathered together.

Soon, Yi Qi stepped forward and said: "I am Xu Wen, Marquis of the Left Capital of Heiyun Longjian under the tent of King Wu, I don't know—"

"Whoosh!" An arrow passed over his head, startling Xu Wen, and hurried back to the formation.

"Sneak attack is not martial, this arrow will not kill you." Zang Dubao lowered his bow and said loudly: "I don't care who you are! Why don't you go back and rectify the soldiers and horses, let's kill with real swords and guns. Heiyun Changjiandu, Hey, Li Lin!"

"The last general is here!" Li Lin answered loudly, holding an epee.

"Take your troops, use a big sword to chop the formation, and cut them down!" Zang Dubao ordered.

"Obey!" Li Lin returned to the front of the formation, 500 people had already put on their armor and each had a long sword.

"Crack the formation!" Li Lin stepped out first, and the armor leaves clanged.

"Kill!" The 500 people stepped out in unison, with long swords, and a murderous look.

Xu Wen's [-] cavalry are all Heiyun's elite, who have entered and left the battlefield many times and broke through the enemy's formation.But looking at the five hundred great swordsmen approaching from afar, he also hesitated.

Sergeants of the Guochao actually prefer two-handed slashing weapons such as epee/big sword/long sword and Mo Dao.

Yang Xingmi has the Black Cloud Long Sword City, Zhu Quanzhong has the Left and Right Long Sword Army, and although Shao Shude has not formed a special two-handed epee unit, there are quite a lot of related equipment in the infantry battalions, because this kind of weapon is really popular among warriors .

Completely abandoning defense, wielding the epee with both hands, fighting for life, the main function is to "cut the formation".

In addition, if the opponent has a cavalry unit rushing, the Long Sword Army will take the initiative to meet it, advance on foot, and chop the cavalry.

After difficult times, this tactic became more and more popular.When begging Zhaoyi and Liu Zhen, Wu Zong specially gave the Heyang army [-] Modao for fighting in battle.

The long sword army does not rely on a tight formation to deal with cavalry.In fact, if you confront the cavalry, you can't maintain the formation at all, and you will definitely be rushed into the formation.The key is to continue the group battle after rushing in, and kill the decelerated cavalry one by one.

Therefore, this kind of established long sword army should not be underestimated. They must be elite, and they should not be taken lightly when they rush into the formation, because most of them will not collapse and will continue to fight.

Five hundred swordsmen pressed down like a mountain.

Xu Wen hesitated again and again and ordered to retreat.

"General?" A military academy was puzzled and said, "It's better to go around to the flank and charge straight in."

"Did you break Longjiandu?" Xu Wen asked.

The military academy hesitated for a moment, but did not answer.

Heiyun Longjiandu was originally formed by the merger of Heiyundu and Changjiandu. Its official name is "Heiyundu" because they all wear black armor and hold black flags. However, many people still get used to it. It is called "the capital of black clouds and long swords", which is caused by the history of Chengjun.

"There are thousands of Xia thieves, over there, over there, and over there, there are people forming a team, and they can overwhelm them at any time." Xu Wen pointed at several places with his horsewhip, and said: "Xia Jun seems to be quite capable of fighting. These [-] infantry are no worse than Hei Yun. The king of Wu was careless in this attack. Shao Shude has used troops for more than ten years, and he fought repeatedly, killing all directions.

"Let's withdraw first, and wait until Zhu Shijun's main force is assembled, and then make a fuss." Xu Wen flicked his horsewhip and withdrew.

Two hundred riders followed behind him unwillingly, left the battlefield in one swift motion, and disappeared at the end of the post road in the south.

"Go into the city!" Zang Dubao snorted coldly and ordered.

In order to hurry, food and grass are still behind, they have to rest in Anfeng County, just in time to do a good reconnaissance of the surrounding area.

The Huai thief is so brave, is there no one to bully me?
