Great Military Division

Chapter 349 The saddest way to induce death in history is the death of Chang Xi!

In less than three days, the Taishan bandits stationed in Linyi, Haiqu, Juxian, and Yangdu led their troops to Kaiyang one after another, with a total strength of more than [-].

now.

Zang Ba barracks.

Central Army, big tent.

Zang Ba was wearing armor and sat at the head, with his next [-] brothers lined up on both sides.

And standing next to him is Chang'an Lang Zhongling Li Ru.

Zang Ba's stern gaze swept across the brothers present, and he said in a low and forceful voice: "Brothers, maybe you have also heard the news that the Nanyang court teamed up with Tao Qian to send troops into Langya."

"Well, I heard."

At that moment, a muscular man frowned and said: "But it seems that because our Langya sneaked into the assassination in the direction of Chang'an, they came here to prevent accidents."

"Big brother!"

This person frowned, and asked tentatively: "Are you summoning us and other brothers to assist the court and prepare to assassinate Chang'an?"

Zang Ba turned his head and glanced down, and the speaker was his right-hand man, Sun Guan: "Brother, don't think about things too simply, if it's just for stabbing and rape, you still need to use an army?"

"This"

Sun Guan frowned.

Thinking about it carefully, mobilizing an army to catch the rape is indeed a bit wasteful.

If you know its precise location, you can send two county soldiers to handle it.

And if you don't know its specific location, even if you have an army of one hundred thousand, it's just a display, and it's useless.

"Bros."

Zang Ba let out a sigh of relief, glanced at the crowd, and said loudly: "The Nanyang court sent troops to Langya, the real purpose is not to catch rape, but to attack me."

"what?"

All the generals in the account were shocked.

Sun Guan, in particular, stared like a bell, full of astonishment: "How is this possible? We have an agreement with Tao Qian, why did you suddenly attack us?"

"That's right!"

Zang Ba took up the conversation and said coldly: "We did have an agreement with Tao Qian, but at that time Tao Qian could make his own decisions, but now that he has surrendered to Nanyang Hanting, he naturally has to obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang."

"If His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang can accommodate us, we will be able to live in peace. Now he sent Zu Mao, Xu Rong, and Cheng Pu into Xuzhou, and Tao Qian sent Cao Bao to station in Tan County."

"Brothers!"

Zang Basen's cold eyes were full of anger: "The court's knife is already on our necks. If we don't resist, we can only let it be slaughtered. Are you willing to do this?"

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

Immediately, all the generals in the tent shouted in unison.

General Sun Guanlang shouted: "Brother, we are only loyal to you, we will do whatever you tell us to do, and we will definitely listen to your orders!"

"That's right!"

Wu Dun took another step forward and said sonorously: "Since the Han court in Nanyang is difficult to tolerate, we will fight them to the end. Even if we fight to the death, we will have nothing to fear."

"War is what you are afraid of!"

Immediately afterwards, the general Yin Li raised his head and shouted: "The big deal is that we will die together. We have been happy and happy for so many years, and we have already earned enough money. I will always follow Big Brother."

On the side, Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't kill Zang Ba at the beginning, otherwise it would not be so easy to deal with the diehard Taishan bandits with Chang Xi alone.

"it is good!"

At this moment, Zang Ba nodded in satisfaction.

Except for Chang Xi, this group of brothers who climbed out of the pile of dead people did not disappoint themselves: "Since everyone is willing to follow me."

"Then, I, Zang Ba, have to tell you the truth!"

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Li Ru, waved his hand and introduced: "This is Li Ru, the Lang Zhong Ling from the Chang'an Hanting. No less!"

"what?"

Immediately, the generals were shocked.

Especially Sun Guan, his eyes were like bells, and he was full of shock: "Brother, so you really sent assassins in Chang'an? And you already..."

"kindness."

Zang Ba interrupted Sun Guan, and said with great certainty: "I have indeed surrendered to the Han Court of Chang'an, but if it wasn't for the fact that the Han Court of Nanyang couldn't tolerate us, why would I, Zang Ba, be here?"

"If brothers don't want to follow, I, Zang Ba, will definitely not force you. You can leave now, but the army must stay with me. Let's get together and break up, and we will still be brothers."

"What did the elder brother say?"

Sun Guan immediately patted his chest and promised: "We crawled out of the dead together, that is a brother who died, even if I wandered with my elder brother, I, Sun Guan, will never complain."

"it is good!"

Zang Ba was very moved: "This is my good brother Zang Ba."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Guan frowned: "But brother, the three thousand soldiers from Qiu County are nothing, but they still have Cao Bao's [-] Danyang soldiers."

"Big brother must know better than anyone else how powerful the Danyang soldiers are. If they take advantage of our army's attack on Jiqiu to copy our army's rear, we may not be their opponents at all with our strength."

"That's right!"

Yin Li sighed again, and said deeply: "They should cooperate internally and externally, we are definitely not opponents, instead of all of them dying here, why don't we go to Qingzhou, and we can still live there."

"Correct!"

Wu Dun nodded affirmatively: "Since we are sure to lose, then we might as well escape to Qingzhou and occupy the mountain as king, and we can still be at ease. We haven't done anything else these years, and we have saved a lot of money, which is enough for us brothers to toss about for two years." .”

However.
Zang Ba waved his hand to interrupt, and said loudly: "Don't worry, we don't have to leave Xuzhou. This time we will definitely win, Tao Qian should lose!"

"Huh? This is."

When Sun Guan was puzzled, Zang Ba explained: "Because Cao Bao is also a member of the Chang'an Hanting, as long as we start a battle here, he will immediately lead troops over. At that time, we will join forces and there will be nearly [-] soldiers." Horse, Xiaoxiao is Qiu, how can he be against him!"

hiss-!
All the generals gasped in unison: "Cao Bao is from Chang'an Hanting?"

Zang Ba nodded: "That's right! And once we make a move, Zhang Kai of Pengcheng will also do it. He will kill Tao Qian and plant it on Xu Rong and Cheng Pu. We will join forces with Cao Bao to counterattack Thieves, Xuzhou is at your fingertips."

"Great!"

Sun Guan and the others were ecstatic.

A second ago, they wanted to run away and temporarily avoid the court's edge.

But I never thought that at this moment, they had already taken an absolute advantage.

At that moment, all the thieves in Mount Tai no longer had any worries. They clasped their hands together and said in unison: "Brother, hurry up and order. We can send troops at any time to attack Jiqiu County."

"very good!"

Zang Ba was overjoyed, and said loudly: "Since that's the case, let's go back to the camp and prepare. Tomorrow morning, we will go to Jiqiu County. We must take down Jiqiu City in the shortest possible time."

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the tent.

Zang Ba let out a sigh of relief and turned to glance at Li Ru: "Military division, where is Cao Bao?"

Li Ru nodded and nodded: "Don't worry, general, Ru has sent people there, as long as we besiege Jiqiu County, they will come to help immediately, and at the same time send people to notify Zhang Kai to assassinate Tao Qian."

Although, everything is going smoothly, but for some reason, Zang Ba is always restless, as if something big is going to happen in the dark.

call-

After taking a long breath, Zang Ba said softly, "I hope everything goes well."

Li Ru is full of confidence: "Don't worry, general, King Hongnong may have guessed that you will rebel, but he will never think that we have already bribed Cao Bao. This person has been silent for half a year. If it was exposed, something should have happened long ago." gone."

Zang Ba nodded: "Well, I never thought that Cao Bao would be one of yours."

"No!"

Li Ru shook his head: "It's ours. Now you and I are both from Chang'an Hanting, and so is Cao Bao."

Zang Ba sneered, and said with a little embarrassment: "Yes, they are our people."

******
The sun rises and the morning glow appears.

That is Qiu County.

County government.

Zu Mao sits at the top, and the next ones are civil and military, lined up on both sides.

At this moment, He Qi is reporting: "General, at present, two Langya Pai have been manufactured, three Yaksha have been manufactured, twelve mobile ballistas have been assembled, and the plug door knife cart is being manufactured. It is estimated that it will be completed in half a day. One."

Zu Mao nodded and nodded, "Hurry up, especially the mobile ballista. The parts I brought are enough to assemble [-] pieces, so the craftsmen must not relax."

"Don't worry, General."

He Qi nodded affirmatively: "Your official has already told you that they are working day and night, and all the wood they need has been prepared. Even if the thieves come here now, we will be prepared."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.

Zu Mao looked up.

But seeing, his own scout hurried into the palace, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "General, the latest information, the direction of Kaiyang, Zang Ba led [-] soldiers and horses, and came to kill them."

"So fast?"

Zu Mao was stunned for a moment, and was amazed: "How far are they from here?"

The scout cupped his hands: "About five miles."

"Explore again!"

"Here."

Repelling the scouts, Zu Mao glanced at everyone, and ordered without hesitation:
"Now that the thieves have come, we will follow the plan agreed in advance. The general will personally guard the north gate, the county magistrate of Xu county will guard the south gate, the magistrate of Kan county will guard the west gate, the magistrate of He county will guard the east gate, and Hou Sima will lead the elite of the army. door for support."

All the generals and soldiers cupped their hands together: "Here."

Zu Mao waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Immediately.

He led the crowd to close the door and went straight to the top of the city.

Taking advantage of Zang Ba's arrival, Zu Mao operated the mobile ballista according to the instructions: "Do you understand? The operation process is as simple as that, one is responsible for loading the crossbow arrows, and the other is responsible for turning the hand."

"As long as the bowstring is reset, immediately adjust the direction, three points and one line, and launch an attack on the enemy, especially those who ride horses, carry flags, and wear armor, hit me hard, understand?"

The soldier frowned: "General, what is three points and one line?"

Zu Mao was almost mad, holding the instruction manual: "I don't understand the three points and one line, that is, the target, the crosshairs, and your eyes. As a crossbowman, you only have one task, which is to search for the target, understand?"

The crossbowman responded sonorously: "Here! Target, aim, eyes, three points and one line, the villain understands."

Only then did Zu Mao take a deep breath: "Just remember! Try to hit strategic targets, those little soldiers are not your responsibility."

Ballista: "Here."

Just when Zu Mao was teaching how to use various instruments.

Suddenly, the soldier beside him raised his finger to the outside and reminded loudly: "Look, general, they are coming."

Zu Mao turned his head and looked.

really!

At the end of the field of vision, a black line gradually became thicker, followed by a dark cloud, covering it like a cloud of dark clouds, and on the fluttering big flag, a big "Zang" character was dazzling.

"coming!"

Zu Mao took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm.

He stared at the soldiers and horses outside, visually measuring the distance to the enemy.

Five hundred steps!
Four hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps!
Zu Mao pushed the crossbowman away, adjusted the direction of the crossbow according to the requirements of the operation manual, aimed at the burly figure under the flag, and slowly moved his hand towards the trigger.

Pong!
A loud bang.

The crossbow arrows tore through the air, and with a sharp cry, they rushed straight at the enemy troops who were forming.

Zang Ba, who was about to lead people to observe the situation of each sect, saw a cold light rushing at him before he could rein in his horse. In order to react in time, the crossbow arrows whizzed by less than two feet away from him.

puff!
The guard soldier beside him was hit by an arrow, and the huge force brought his body and flew out of the horse, knocking down four or five people one after another, before stopping the retreat.

"what?"

Zang Ba was taken aback, subconsciously lying on the horse.

The Taishan thieves beside him were like this one after another, and even Li Ru himself hurriedly buried his head behind the neck of the war horse.

Sun Guan shouted at the top of his voice, "Brother, what kind of weapon is this? The range is so far?"

Yin Li was shocked even more, his small face turned pale: "I'm afraid this must have an effective range of three to five hundred steps, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a strong force. What kind of weapon is this?"

Pong!Pong!
As soon as the words fell, two more arrows roared out.

Leng is the pawn behind Zang Ba, forcibly creating two ravines.

Only two arrows took the lives of five or six soldiers and injured more than ten people!
"Damn!"

Zang Ba gritted his steel teeth and waved his hand: "Retreat slowly! Retreat slowly!"

Sun Guan, Yin Li and others greeted together: "Retreat slowly—!"

Others don't know this kind of weapon, but how can they deceive Li Ru: "General Zang, this is a new type of weapon invented by King Hongnong. It is called a ballista. I heard that the effective range is [-] paces."

"Three hundred steps?"

Zang Ba was so shocked that his eyes almost popped.

"Yes."

Li Ru nodded affirmatively: "Although there is an effective range of [-] paces, there must not be many ballistas in Qiu City. As long as we are [-] paces away, they will not be so easy to hit us."

"Our army has [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. Let the soldiers storm the city of Jiqiu. They won't last long. Listen to me, victory is within easy reach. Now that you have taken this step, there is no possibility of going back!"

"Damn!"

How could Zang Ba not know this.

Once the road of rebellion is set, in Nanyang Hanting, it is tantamount to being on the blacklist. If they can't win, there is only one dead end waiting for Zang Ba and other Taishan thieves!
Zang Ba couldn't take care of that much anymore, he led his troops back for more than 350 steps before he turned the carriage and faced the city in front of him, gritted his teeth, and shouted sharply:
"Where are Sun Guan, Yin Li, and Wu Dun?"

"The end is here."

"Lead your own troops and horses, go to the west gate, south gate, and east gate, conduct a feint attack, contain the enemy's troops, and wait for Cao Bao to lead the Danyang soldiers to come to support."

"Here."

"Where is Changxi?"

"The end is here!"

A smoldering look flashed in Zang Ba's eyes, and he shouted in a cold voice, "You are responsible for the storm towards the north gate. Take your soldiers and horses and charge up immediately. Anyone who disobeys the order will be shot to death!"

"I"

Chang Xi's eyes stared like bells.

Of course he knew.

Zang Ba asked him to take charge of the main attack, not to give military exploits, but to avenge his own private revenge, and wanted to use himself as cannon fodder.

However, when he was about to speak out angrily, Li Ru shook his head and interrupted directly: "General Chang, what are you doing in a daze if you don't charge forward with your troops?"

Zang Ba's eyes were even more piercing. Holding the sword at his waist, he said in a cold voice: "What? Could it be that you want to disobey the general's military order?"

Chang Xi gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, clasped his hands and cupped his fists and said, "Here!"

Immediately.

He got off his horse, turned into a pawn, raised his sword, and shouted sharply: "Brothers, follow me, and I will conquer Jiqiu City at all costs."

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!"

Have to admit.

Chang Xi does have two brushes.

He at least knew that the target of war horses was relatively large. If he led troops to charge, he would definitely become a live target for ballistas. It would be better to become infantry, so that wearing armor would be safer.

Looking at the soldiers and horses moving forward, Li Ru said softly: "General Zang, you are doing this too much. You promised me that you will unite with sincerity before taking Xuzhou."

"I arranged this way, what's the problem?"

Zang Ba also had a good reason, and he turned back without hesitation: "Except for me, among the four troops, Chang Xi has the most troops. If he is not allowed to take the main attack, who will take the main attack?"

call-

Li Ru sighed helplessly.

Zang Ba's reason is very good, he has no way to refute: "But Changxi fights with emotions, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do his best."

However, Zang Ba didn't hesitate even more, and suddenly burst out with murderous aura: "The army has its own military law. If it is false and submissive and doesn't fight with all its strength, then it will be military law. How simple it is!"

Uh.
Li Ru was too lazy to say any more.

He knew that Zang Ba would get revenge, and it would be useless to talk too much.

As for Chang Xi, he can only seek good fortune for himself, and it is difficult for him to save himself.

Pong!Pong!Pong!
A series of ballistas sounded, and ravines appeared in the formation of Chang Xi's army. Every time an arrow went down, several people were killed, especially those who held up their weapons and shouted, there were many casualties.

Chang Xi, who was commanding the battle, tried to hide his figure as much as possible, but as the distance got closer, the chain mail on his body was too conspicuous, and he immediately became the concentrated target of the ballista.

Pong!
An arrow came roaring.

Chang Xi was so frightened that his face turned green, his soul was about to fly, he kept walking, Sa Yazi ran sideways, but the soldiers beside him had no time to dodge, five or six people died in a straight line.

"dash forward!"

"Rush up to me!"

"As long as you kill them, there will be no such thing."

Chang Xi shouted at the top of his voice, but with a bang, another arrow flew towards his face. His eyes were as wide as a bell, and he lunged forward, rolling three times in succession, before avoiding the arrow.

"hateful!"

Chang Xi secretly chewed, and in his heart he had greeted Zang Ba's eighteen generations of ancestors seventeen or eight times one by one.

Although he kept running wildly, the biggest advantage of the mobile ballista was that it could move and adjust its direction at will, which was different from the traditional bed crossbow.

No matter how he evaded, fled from west to east, and then from east to west, the crossbow arrows chasing him never stopped, one after another, without even giving him a chance to catch his breath.

And the ballista players at Qiuchengtou are also constantly chasing and gradually mastering the aiming method of the ballista, not only three points and one line, but also need to predict the opponent's position and hit his advance.

This is the way a mature ballista player should master the ballista aiming method, and only in this way can he really improve his hit rate.

"Fuck! Another arrow."

"It's almost there, this time it's on point."

"Aim and shoot them all."

"."

The continuous improvement of the crossbowman suddenly made Chang Xi below feel the pressure.

He can feel it clearly.

Every time I dodge, the arrow is getting closer and closer to his position, even once, the arrow is only three to five inches away from him, it is a crossbow arrow as thick as an index finger, once it hits me, even if it does not die , also have to be half disabled.

"Damn!"

Chang Xi cursed secretly.

He knows that there are more dangers than good fortune, so most of the time, he focuses on self-protection.

Although there were already many soldiers rushing towards the city to launch an attack, the crossbow arrows chasing him still did not shift their target, and the further he went, the more ruthless the opponent was besieged.

puff!
Chang Xi, who had just avoided a crossbow arrow, had not had time to stabilize his body when another crossbow arrow roared towards the direction where he was about to land.

Although Chang Xi had already expected it, he seemed to have no time to dodge, so he could only draw his sword in his hand, and swung it violently towards the sky. There was a crisp sound of clang, and the arrow hit the first knife of Huan Shou, and the huge force smashed the blade. Take it off your palm, and roll it backwards.

However, it was precisely because of this that the crossbow arrows were able to change direction, roaring past Chang Xi's side, hitting the soldiers who were chasing him, and piercing his chest on the spot.

Chang Xi didn't dare to stop, and continued to rush forward, but before he had gone far, another crossbow bolt shot out from the oblique stab, and it was still his foothold, roaring towards him.

But this time.
Chang Xi didn't have the Huan Shou Saber to stop him, the moment he landed, he immediately swooped down, but he still couldn't escape, the side of his thigh was hit by the crossbow arrow, and it went straight through.

"what-!"

Chang Xi gritted his teeth and roared, the pain was unstoppable.

But before he got up, three arrows whizzed towards him, directly blocking all the directions he could retreat. One arrow hit his chest, nailing him to the floor, and the other two arrows flew past his body, Submerged into the corpse not far from it.

"Zang Ba! I, Changxi. Do. Be a ghost. I won't let you go!!!"
