world festival

It has been three hours since the Huainan army lined up at Mopanzhai in the morning, but the bloody battle that the defenders were waiting for did not happen, and the dark clouds in black and white armor below were not as fierce as the legends, they were just taking turns to rest and eat, They kept throwing stones into the village with machinery, but due to the distance, they only broke a few wooden fences and did not hurt anyone. Several times they rushed up with the shield, but stopped when they reached the ditch I just threw some earthbags into the ditch, and the white blades didn't even intersect.After a long time, those soldiers also became a little tired. Jumping up and down the earth barrier with armor weighing about [-] kilograms was not a labor-saving task. They hid behind the base to rest, and some even took off their armor to catch their breath. , even the generals in the stronghold stopped scolding him.

Zhu Yanshou is fully armored, sitting under the general flag, with a plate of broiled fish and a jug of wine in front of him, pouring himself a drink, while the dental soldiers next to him are just waiting on the sidelines, not daring to say more, this Zhu Yanshou is the best No one dared to offend him. After drinking the wine in the jug, the dental soldier was about to add more wine, but saw Zhu Yanshou throw the pot on the ground violently, and it fell to pieces. The dental soldier didn't know what he did wrong. He fell to his knees and kowtowed like garlic.But he saw the two boots in front of him moving to the past, and when he raised his head, he saw Zhu Yanshou walking forward with a long lance. He quickly got up and followed behind, but felt a chill in the back. Soaked.

When Zhu Yanshou came to the selection team, he saw that everyone was tied up neatly, so he patted the shoulders of a few soldiers casually, and then came to the front of the formation, drew a line on the ground with the horizontal knife at his waist, and said loudly: " If Mopanzhai cannot be captured today, no one will be able to survive this line. If there is an injury on the chest, the three-year tax exemption will be exempted. If there is an injury on the back, the family property will be confiscated to the government, and the wife and daughter will be slaves." Everyone made a promise.Zhu Yanshou held a knife in his left hand and a lance in his right. He went first, and the rest followed.

The sentinels leaned lazily against the fence. The Huainan army below was really exaggerating. They dared to attack with large soldiers during the spring plowing season. They were not afraid of ruining the fields and starving in the coming year. This army is in chaos. I don’t know how my fields are doing. I am just thinking Suddenly, he saw that the enemy troops who had been attacking for a day were coming up again. The number of them was much larger than before. I am afraid that there may not be 700 or [-] people, and their mentality is also very different. Could it be that it is coming for real? He turned around and shouted : "Come up." The people below climbed up sparsely, and saw the darkness below, all holding oar shields in front, and quickly shot several rows of bows and crossbows without hurting a few people. The crossbowmen were ordered not to shoot when they were full. Anyway, they were carrying heavy scull shields, and they couldn't jump over the ditch.Soon the Huainan army arrived in front of the trench, and the quick-handed archers had already shot at the crowd behind, but the formation was not chaotic, and even the soldiers who were hit by the arrows gritted their teeth and did not cry out in pain.Suddenly there was a loud shout to push the shield, and the Huainan army in front pushed the shield to the ditch, turning it into a small bridge. More than [-] people were shot, but those people rushed forward as if desperate, and rushed in through the damaged part of the fence. The Haozhou army quickly blocked the gap, and the two sides were at those gaps After killing, the gap was like a monster's big mouth, sucking people in continuously, and then turned into fragmented pieces of meat and spit it out on the ground.

Zhu Yanshou was in one of the vortexes. Just now, six or seven crossbows fired a volley less than 15 steps away from him. He jumped over the ditch in two steps without even blinking. A crossbowman knocked over the ground with a long lance, and a soldier on the right stabbed over with a spear with red eyes. He made a mistake and missed the tip of the spear, and clamped the spear with force. under the ribs.The opponent pulled back forcefully, and Zhu Yanshou took advantage of the situation to get close to him. With his right hand, he drew the knife behind his wrist and pushed, cutting the opponent's throat.The front picks from behind also rushed up, making a massacre.The Huainan army's frontlines are almost all veterans who have experienced many battles. They hardly shouted to kill, but silent slashers. Apart from heavy breathing and the sound of weapons and guns colliding, there were almost no other sounds. , blood flowed on the ground, the ground soon became wet, and people staggered on the slippery ground, fighting, falling, killing others or being killed.Gradually, the defenders couldn't stand it anymore, their numbers were small, and the Huainan army's forwards were so brave that they were almost crazy. The general was also rolled to the ground by a wounded soldier in Huainan, and was immediately beheaded. The defenders collapsed, and they put down their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.

"Decapitate them all!" Zhu Yanshou concentrated on wiping the horizontal knife in his hand without turning his head.

"Yes." The dental soldier who was kneeling on the ground waiting for orders got up. After a while, there was a cry for help and curses. Zhu Yanshou put his sword back into its sheath, got on his horse and galloped towards the Huainan Army camp, followed by guards. "Brother-in-law doesn't even need to bring down the equipment on the fleet, so how can we break Haozhou City?" He whispered to himself.

Yang Xingmi's camp was heavily guarded, and outside the tents of the Chinese army, there was a post every five steps, and a sentry post every ten steps.There were only three people at the top of the tent, Yang Xingmi himself was seated, and Yuan Xi and Li Shenfu were standing on both sides. One person knelt down and reported in a low voice: "The master of a certain family ordered the villain to send a message to Yang Jiedu. At Zishi, the east gate will meet, and the lanterns on the city gate will circle three times as a sign."

Yang Xingmi did not speak, and Yuan Xi who was beside him asked in a low voice: "You must be an important person in the village if you are in charge of this important matter. Report your name. After the matter is completed, the envoy will definitely reward you generously."

The people below were overjoyed and hurriedly reported: "My surname is Lu Mingjing. I am the nephew of Elder Lu in Zhuangzhong."

Yuan Xi clapped his hands, and a guard outside the tent came in with a plate, with a dozen pieces of gold cakes in it, and he whispered to the man, "These things are for you, go back carefully, tell me Your master, do things at midnight tonight. If things are done, I will reward you so much."

The man was overjoyed, kowtowed again and again, stepped forward to take the bounty, put it in his waist, faced Yang Xingmi and walked slowly back to the tent, then turned and left.After the man left, Yuan Xi turned to Yang Xingmi and said, "It seems that this is indeed Lu Fang's response. Someone asked Lu Xingzhi just now, and his name and identity are correct."

Yang Xingmi nodded, turned his head and said to Li Shenfu: "You will be in charge of the siege tonight. Wang Qinian has dealt with Nalufang Wang Yu a lot, so he will lead the selection of strikers. You must fall into the city with one blow." , the armor clanging on his body.

At the head of the east gate of Haozhou, it is almost midnight, and the voice of Diao Dou is heard. The Mopanzhai outside the east gate has been taken down by the Huainan army in the daytime. Without the barrier, the city gate is like a naked baby Exposed in front of the enemy army, a strong man was staring at the bare field outside the city from the turret at the head of the city. A few miles away, there was a large area of ​​darkness that was the camp of the Huainan Army. After being beheaded and his head hung on the fence of the stockade, he felt a chill in his heart. Looking at the 3 elite soldiers resting under the urn city, he couldn't help but miss the hot bed at home even more, and he was even more aggrieved: "I killed that day The Huainan thieves sent troops in the spring, and certain civilians who were killed had to keep watch at night, so that the soldiers could sleep well, and it was best to finish the battle quickly, no matter who wins, there will be no food to eat if the farming season is delayed." While muttering, he saw a group of people coming from the city, trying to go up the tower with torches, but they were stopped on the stairs.It was Lu Fang and his party.

The team on duty at night stepped forward and asked, "I don't know why General Wang came late at night."

"No one else, it's just that Huainan's army is strong outside, and they can't sleep well at night. If there is any omission when they come to inspect." Wang Yu replied.

The team didn't doubt it, he knew the origin of the town general, he was originally a powerful Xucheng party, but only robbed the caravan of Huainan Jiedushi, and then defected to Haozhou, even the news of the Huainan army this time He quickly informed that he was also afraid that Huainan would take down the city. The heads hanging on the fence outside the city yesterday were their fate. They couldn't sleep at night and got up to patrol the city. The governors all relied heavily on him, so there was no need to refuse to offend him.Besides, there are only 30 people in the back, and they can't turn the sky. There are 300 soldiers in the urn city below, and they haven't even removed their armor.Then he saluted and said: "General Wang is really strict, so please go upstairs to check." After that, he made way for him.

When they got to the top of the city, the team was leading Wang Yu to look around. After the inspection was over, Wang Yu said with a smile: "Sure enough, the defense is tight. As expected, it is an important town in Huainan. Brothers have worked hard. Somebody brought some porridge and cakes here. The weather is cold. It’s still very heavy, so tell the brothers to come over here, there are walls on three sides, and the wind is less. Each person can eat a bowl, and it will be hot.” ​​After speaking, he waved his hand, and the six or seven people behind him put down several large buckets, and put them in a basket. They are all noodles, steaming hot when the lid is opened.

Just as the team was about to be polite, Wang Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "You also know that when the Huainan bandits took down Haozhou, you still have a way to live, and you are a dead end. Don't be polite, drink the porridge quickly, and hold on to it." Hello everyone in the city."

Having said that, and with the cold night and spring, the guards and soldiers were hungry and cold, and their heads were turned. Just as the team thought about it, they smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, General Wang." Already." After saying that, he waved his hand to call everyone over, Wang Yu said with a smile: "Aren't those people in the turret alone not eating? Good people do their best, you guys send the porridge and cakes to those upstairs. "The people on the top of the city scrambled into a group, and the captain who guarded the city stood aside, and said with a smile to Wang Yu: "Most of them here are young and strong, and they don't know any military rules. You can laugh at this mess. "

"Alright, it would be troublesome if they were all soldiers, but fortunately, most of them are young and strong who were pulled up here." Wang Yu laughed.

The team just felt strange, and suddenly felt a pain in the waist, and opened their mouths to shout, but saw a big hand like a cattail fan covering them, and then their necks felt cold, and they fell unconscious.
