Chapter 321
As a school lieutenant, and a school lieutenant from the regular army, Yang Feng already has the ability to accurately judge the enemy's situation.

In the short moment just now, he had already seen that the bandits on the Qin Pass had never had any experience in defending the city.In such a situation, the defenders should immediately put down the rolling logs and falling rocks, and at the same time use the pole to push down the ladder. If there is a little hesitation, let the siege army climb the city wall, then the situation is over!

Obviously, those thieves who robbed houses did not have experience in this area.Seeing that they only knew about archery and the panic when encountering a giant log hitting the door, Yang Feng believed that his judgment was correct, which is why he dared to judge the city was broken before the siege troops broke through.

The city walls and gates have always been important fortifications of the city pass, and they are also the psychological barriers that the defenders rely on to defend against the enemy: forty or fifty veterans of the Xiliang Army's siege troops have climbed up the city wall swiftly, and the giant tree only needs to With a few more hits, the obstacles behind the city gate can be crushed.This situation is a great blow to the fighting spirit of the defenders.Even troops with a slightly lower quality will collapse directly in nine out of ten cases.

What's more, those above Qinguan are thieves who don't even know about military discipline!
But, but...Yang Feng's expression of relief was immediately startled by the sudden change!
He saw that after the two dead soldiers ascended the city wall, there was no prelude to the massacre as usual.Instead, he let out a miserable howl, dragged his bloody tail, and danced and fell from the top of the wall!Then came the third, fourth... After a little effort, all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who had just gone up were turned into corpses and thrown off the city wall.

Yang Feng rubbed his eyes, convinced that he read right.The soldier who was thrown down was indeed his subordinate.He couldn't help but open his mouth wide again, too shocked to speak: Yang Feng knows the force of the siege vanguard best.Those people were either ruthless and combative warriors who looked at death as home; they were death row prisoners who violated the military law and were thrown into the penal riding camp.The force of these people is first-class fierce and high-strength.Yang Feng himself admitted that he might not be the opponent of those vanguards just because they are fighting against each other.

However, the thieves and bandits on Qinguan City were clearly in disarray and chaos, so why were they able to kill the vanguard of the siege like melons and vegetables? !
This is impossible!

"Look, general, it's the thief leader with a big knife!" The guard pointed to the top of the city, and Yang Feng's eyes immediately turned to the direction he pointed.

At this time, another vanguard just jumped onto the top of the wall, but before he could stand still, he suddenly saw a scimitar that was not stained with blood strike at him instantly.The vanguard's reaction couldn't have been more timely and normal, and immediately raised his ring-sword to block.But to his surprise, the scimitar cut off his ring head knife directly, and cut towards his head again without losing momentum.

Amidst the blood splattering, the head of the dead soldier who climbed up first flew into the air, and the headless body was kicked by the big man and fell backwards, bringing down the several soldiers following behind on the ladder.Yang Feng's sharp eyes saw the burly man poking his head behind the pile wall, as if he had also glanced at the enemy's siege situation, and then shrank back like a cunning rabbit.

"It's that guy again!" Yang Feng bit his teeth angrily. He didn't know the name of the big man, but he knew that the big man's force was terrifying and his courage was astonishing: the night before yesterday, it was him who actually carried Five hundred dead soldiers came to sneak attack on the camp of our own army, and that idiot Niu Fu didn't even think that the bandits would dare to take the initiative to attack, so the big man beat the shit out of him.If it weren't for the fact that there were too few bandits under his command and he didn't know how to advance or retreat, he might have disrupted the [-]-strong army in that surprise attack!

"General, we have already found out the origin of that guy." Seeing Yang Feng's gritted teeth expression, a personal guard immediately pulled a scout over and said to Yang Feng: "Old Liu has already found out about that guy from the bandits. history."

"General, that man's name is Zhou Cang. He was originally a remnant of the Yellow Turban, and he hung out with Pei Yuanshao in Runan. But this guy is from Kansai. He heard that Ma Chao had managed the Kansai area to make the county strong and the people rich, so he wanted to go back to his hometown. I had a happy birthday. Halfway to Xianyang, I encountered Lu Bu's attack on Fufeng. I couldn't go back to his hometown, so I fell grass in Xianyang. Now I am a famous leader among the bandits, with strong military strength, brave and straightforward temperament, Because of his loyalty, he is highly respected and trusted by those thieves." The scout called Lao Liu was also unambiguous at the moment, and told Yang Feng about Zhou Cang's origin.

"Such a reckless hero can't be used by the imperial court. It's really a pearl covered in dust!" After listening to the scout's report, Yang Feng sighed instead of being angry.But then, he regained his soldier's ruthlessness, and ordered to his subordinates: "Remember this person, if there is a chance in the future, kill this person first!"

"No!" All the guards responded, knowing what Yang Feng meant when he said 'in the future': I'm afraid this project will fail again.

"Damn it! Our soldiers have been attacking for three days, and it's the first time we have climbed the city wall, but the weapons of the thieves are better than those of us?!"

Yang Feng, who was depressed, was about to order everyone to rest.Hearing the complaints of a veteran by accident, he couldn't help thinking back to the scene where the vanguard was killed when he ascended the city: yes, it's not that his soldiers were not brave and tough, but that the weapons of the bandits were better than those of the regular army like us!
How can this be? !unless……

Thinking of this hypothesis, Yang Feng hurried up to Niu Fu, wanting to tell Niu Fu the news and remind him to take precautions.But the scene in front of him immediately made Yang Feng feel like his blood was burning again: Niu Fu was actually ordering the messengers to send orders to prepare for the next round of siege!

"General, no!" Yang Feng rushed to Niu Fu, almost begging and crying.

"Why?!" Niu Fu was furious, but he still had reason. Although he was a little jealous of Yang Feng, he was not the kind of headstrong idiot.But after all, there was resentment in his heart, and there was nowhere to resolve it, so he asked Yang Feng viciously: "What? Doesn't Lieutenant Yang think that these soldiers will really rebel?!"

Hearing Niu Fu's stern tone, Yang Feng knew that his previous words had made Niu Fu jealous.I couldn't help feeling anxious, but after taking a look at the situation on the city wall, I said tactfully, "Soldiers from Xiliang are naturally loyal to the grand master. Although they are arrogant, they are willing to do so. It's better to let the resentment out, and spend the night screaming." It's just that, general, this is really not a good time to prepare for a second round of siege."

When Niu Fu heard that Yang Feng had given in to him, his complexion softened a bit, and he couldn't help but follow Yang Feng's gaze towards the city wall.

At this time, the situation in Qinguan had reversed, and the thieves on the city wall seemed to have calmed down under the leadership of Zhou Cang, and began to counterattack the Xiliang soldiers.

More than a dozen ladders were overturned by the long poles, one by one.Hundreds of soldiers fell down, and some fell to the ground, unable to get up for a while; some hit others, and several people collided; Sitting on the ground and screaming.

At the same time, hot oil was also poured from the top of the city, and then the thieves threw down lighted torches and hay, which turned the city into a sea of ​​flames.Some nimble soldiers scrambled and scrambled to escape, but there were still many people wrapped in it, and the screams were endless.

As for the giant wooden chariots that attacked the city, the thieves took special care of them. After they poured boiling hot oil from the city gate, they shot rockets at the giant wooden chariots one after another.Immediately, the entire defensive formation that hit the city gate was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.Countless Xiliang soldiers howled and were swallowed by the flames. Before they could run back to their own formations, they were scorched black and fell to the ground.

Qin Guanshang was filled with joy and morale was boosted.The thieves and bandits were like a pack of wolves aroused by animalism, cursing and shouting loudly at the retreating Xiliang soldiers, venting their joyful and irritable emotions.

And at this time, no matter how stupid Niu Fu was, he didn't need Yang Feng to explain why he didn't want to attack the city anymore: his morale had already dropped to the extreme, and if he forced the order, it would really only cause a mutiny...

"Decree, to strengthen patrols tonight, so that the other soldiers can rest. Tomorrow, Qinguan must be captured!" Niu Fu left after saying this.But Yang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and then let deep worry wrap his brows...
