I am the carpenter king

Without keeping Xu Xianchun waiting for too long, the rebels under the city quickly got ready again and formed a formation in the distance.In the front is a row of shield soldiers, of course not professional shields, wooden tables, wooden boards, anything that can resist.Behind the shield soldiers was a row of siege soldiers, a dozen of them carrying long ladders.It's just that it's not the kind of well-made ladders of the Ming army, but the kind of long ladders made of wood, which are not only weak but also very heavy.

Behind these two arms, Xu Xianchun saw the elite of the so-called rebel army. Those people were all wearing armor, all of which were the standard armor of the Ming army.However, unlike the battalions behind Xu Xianchun, each battalion had a complete set of armor from the Ming army.But the rebels under the city were different. Some were wearing chain armor, and some were wearing helmets, which looked very funny.

Seeing the seriously prepared rebels below, Xu Xianchun felt contemptuous. If the 500 people in his city were elite, they would definitely be defeated in one blow.It's just that Xu Xianchun also understands that three hundred of Liu Xunjian's 500 people can fight is already good, so let's not talk about elites.Of the 500 people I brought out, there were only more than 100 left when I got here. I have seen that combat capability before. 500 people were chased by less than a thousand rebels, those who were killed were killed, and those who escaped fled. Thinking about it makes Xu Xianchun feel depressed.

Trying hard to suppress the impulse in his heart, Xu Xianchun kept telling himself in his heart that he couldn't go out, and if he went out, he wouldn't be able to come back.I still have a bright future, so I must not leave it here, impulsiveness is the devil!

When Xu Xianchun calmed down, Liu Xunjian, who had just gone looking for someone, had already returned. Behind him were about a hundred people, all dressed in common people's clothes, but each of them held a steel knife in their hand.Judging from the style of the knife, it is the saber of the Ming army.It should have been sent to them by inspector Liu.Seeing this scene, Xu Xianchun nodded slowly. It is unrealistic to find so many people in such a short period of time.Now that they are here, they can only explain one thing, these people were prepared by inspector Liu long ago.

After taking a deep look at Liu Xunjian, Xu Xianchun smiled in satisfaction.No matter what Liu Xunjian prepared these people for, he didn't tell himself before.This shows that Liu Xunjian has his own plan, no matter what it is, as long as he has his own plan, this person has thoughts.As long as there is a thoughtful person, Xu Xianchun thinks it can be used, what will the idiot do if he is promoted.

As for why Liu Xunjian prepared these people, Xu Xianchun would not ask. The subordinates have plans for the subordinates, and they will do things as long as they are obedient.As for the rest, it's nothing.Xu Xianchun doesn't care much about the loyalty that other people value. He doesn't trust people sincerely, and naturally he doesn't believe that anyone will truly be loyal to him.When Xu Xianchun was a child, he firmly believed that only interests can bind people together, and they are the most reliable.

Slowly nodded, Xu Xianchun said in a deep voice: "Yes, go! Let them all climb the city wall. Tell them that as long as they kill a traitor, I will reward them with a tael of silver. If they kill more than ten, the reward will be doubled. The more you kill The more you get, the more rewards you get. But all those who are in the city, one counts as one, and after the war, come to my official to receive money, go home to buy a house and land, marry a wife and a woman, you can do whatever you want!"

At this time, Xu Xianchun naturally knew the importance of boosting morale.The money had to be spent, and it was nothing compared to his own future and life.As long as you can persist until the reinforcements arrive, no matter how much money you spend, it is worth it, if you persist until the reinforcements arrive.I'm afraid I won't have a chance to spend my money!

Soon Xu Xianchun's words spread throughout the city, and there was thunderous cheers on the city wall, and everyone was gearing up to prepare a few.Those who have killed people before hurriedly put their heads on their side, waiting for the end of the battle to receive the reward.

As if everything had been prepared, Liu Xunjian ran over quickly, came to Xu Xianchun's side panting, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, are you going to go down and rest? Just leave it to the humble officer here!" "

Looking at Liu Xunjian, Xu Xianchun frowned and asked, "Liu Xunjian, where is the money in the city? I want the money in a big box."

"Back to your lord, I have it here. It's this month's salary. I haven't paid it much yet. But it's not much, and I can't put it in a big box, but it's all twelve taels of silver ingots." Although I don't know what Xu Xianchun wants What to do, but at this time, I don't care much. If I persist until the reinforcements arrive, I will lose my life if I have money.

He beckoned to Liu Xunjian, and when Liu Xunjian approached, Xu Xianchun said in a low voice: "You let someone take a big silver box, use wooden blocks for the bottom, and put silver ingots on top. It looked like a box of silver ingots."

"Yes, I'll do it right now!" After bowing to Xu Xianchun, Liu Xunjian quickly left with a few confidants.

After a short time, the group came back, followed by a carriage with a large box on it.The commander found a high place in the open space inside the city gate, put tables, chairs and benches there, served good tea, Xu Xianchun sat there and drank tea.In front of Xu Xianchun was the big box, he smiled and nodded to the circle of brocade guards around here, and someone stepped forward and opened the box violently.

Immediately, the silver light shone, and the silver ingots dazzled people's eyes under the sunlight.Walking to the side of the box, Xu Xianchun picked up two silver ingots, and said loudly to the people in the city: "Kill is a traitor, take two gold ingots home, 20 taels of silver. My officer, as long as you stick to it until When reinforcements arrive, I will be rewarded with great rewards."

Seeing that the eyes of all the people on the city wall were shining, Xu Xianchun heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the inspector Liu's people were leading well, and none of them wanted to kill him because of Cai.Xu Xianchun was also betting. In short, life and death were about to be ignored at this time. Xu Xianchun's show was not finished yet, and there were already shouts of killing outside.But the goal has been achieved, so that's fine, if there is a delay, I am afraid that some people will really have second thoughts.

The siege battle started again. In fact, this kind of battle was very monotonous, and the people under the city rushed upwards.Set up a ladder, climb up against the wooden planks, and if one falls, the next one will make up.Until someone rushed up and was able to gain a firm foothold on the city wall, the side that attacked the city was considered victorious.The defenders of the city tried their best to prevent such a thing from happening, as long as they could prevent people from climbing up, they would do anything.

However, there are not many things guarding the city here, except for stones and boiling water, there are almost no other things, but there is also a weapon of mass destruction in this era, and that is the rolling log.This kind of big wood with ropes wrapped around both ends and iron nails wrapped on it, at least you are three to five hundred catties.In this kind of siege battle, the power should not be underestimated.

Although the power of this log is not small, but there are too few of them, and there is only one in the whole city.This was applied by the previous inspector in the name of preventing Japanese pirates, otherwise there might not be such a thing.

The battle became more and more intense. One side attacked fiercely, while the other side defended desperately. At the beginning, there were no casualties in the Ming army on the city.But about an hour later, rebels rushed to the top of the city from time to time. I don't know why this rebel attacked here as if desperate.At this time, the Ming army began to suffer casualties, and people were carried down from above from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xianchun's heart sank continuously. If this continues, Xu Xianchun believes that it won't be long before this place will be occupied by rebels.Frowning tightly, Xu Xianchun kept thinking of a solution, why didn't the reinforcements come?

At this time, Liu Xunjian, who was covered in blood, ran down and came to Xu Xianchun's side, and said urgently: "My lord, I really can't stand it any longer! The traitors only attack from this side. My lord still takes A few people go! The lowly job is the inspector here, and he should die here to be loyal to His Majesty. My lord must keep a useful body, and I will show the emperor in the future, and show my merits for us."

Seeing Liu Xunjian who was covered in blood, Xu Xianchun frowned suddenly, pulled out the Xiuchun knife from his waist, reached out to greet a few guards in Jinyi, and said loudly: "You guys go to the city with me, and the rest Stay and watch the silver!"

Seeing that Xu Xianchun was about to go to the city, Liu Xunjian quickly stopped Xu Xianchun, knelt down on the tunnel and said, "My lord has been kind to me, please leave quickly! I can just stay here and stick to it. There is no need for my lord to do this. My lord The useful body must be left behind, and after we die in battle, we still need adults to show merit for us, otherwise we may not even get the pension."

Liu Xunjian knelt on the ground, Xu Xianchun said in a deep voice: "I want to leave at this time, that is a beast! Get up for me, if you are a man, kill me together! If I die, someone will pay the pension." As he spoke, he waved to the people behind him and shouted loudly, "Follow me!"

Xu Xianchun knew in his heart that if he left at this time, he would have no face to see anyone regardless of life or death.But if you stay, you will be worthy of anyone regardless of life or death.I will leave a glorious mark in history and bring countless benefits to the family.

After leading people up to the city wall bricks, Xu Xianchun realized that it was really over, the city walls were full of rebels, and fighting was everywhere.After chopping down two people with a knife, Xu Xianchun also understood that he just killed one to earn money, and the two fools earned one.

Slashing left and right, blocking and killing, Xu Xianchun suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and he didn't even look back and just slashed.After killing the person who attacked him, Xu Xianchun looked down and saw a knife stuck in his waist. Xu Xianchun smiled wryly and shook his head. He really wasn't made for war.He touched his own blood, it was warm, put it to his mouth and licked it, it turned out that his own blood was also bloody, not sweet at all. (To be continued..)
