Chapter 591 Chu Pingsheng: Will my reverse scales hurt my hands?
On the battlements behind, soldiers with extraordinary strength stretched out their bows and set arrows, staring eagerly at the rapidly approaching siege troops. In the open space in front of the city gate tower, there was a flagpole with a yellow background and red edges. The pennant has a big word "Song" written in the middle. Standing in front of the flagpole is a slender, fair-skinned, middle-aged man wearing narrow-sleeved dark clothes. He is calm and has a bit of the bookishness unique to Confucian scholars. He is the Lingnan ethnic group. He is known as Song Zhi, the Earth Sword of Marquis Zhuge Wu who descended to earth, and is the second-ranking figure in the Song Dynasty.
Facing the two thousand cavalry led by the Eighteen Elite Cavalry, the others were very nervous. He was the only one, smiling, stroking his long beard, looking casual and unrestrained, as if he didn't take the enemy seriously at all. .
Xu...
Chu Pingsheng pulled the reins, and the sweaty horse stopped in front of the formation. He first looked at the mountains behind Cangwu City, and then looked at the jade belt surrounding his waist. With the Dong'an River in full swing, I turned to look at the Earth Sword Song Zhi standing at the top of the city.
"Are you Chai Shao? The new head of the Evil Sect?"
Song Zhi's voice came against the wind, bringing a chill to the still hot weather. Even the crawling soldiers in the ditch listened. It can be seen that the murderous intention revealed in the words of the Song family's second-ranked master and military advisor.
Chu Pingsheng said: "Yes, I am Chai Shao."
"Hand over the murderer of my third brother and nephew, and I will spare your life."
Song Zhi spoke condescendingly, with the tone of a victorious general, because two hours ago a report came from the rear, saying that the cavalry unit led by his eldest brother, with the cooperation of Xiao Mianjun, turned a blind eye, and used the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. Lin Shihong's Jiangnan Army cut off the Sui Army's food route. In this case, there was no need to confront the Sui Army head-on. They just took advantage of the danger and defended themselves. As long as they persisted for a few days, the soldiers from the north were out of food and grass, and they collapsed.
There is no doubt that this was his handiwork, and Song Que was just the executor.
“The murderer who killed your third brother and nephew?” Chu Pingsheng chuckled: “That person is far away in the sky and right in front of you.”
Song Zhi frowned and looked at the cavalry behind him. The troops did not find the shadow of Mei Niang Jin Huanzhen and Zhou Laotan.
“That’s me.”
Chu Pingsheng laughed: “Song Zhi, you don’t think that without my order, the two of them would have dared to kill the Heavenly Sword Song Que with one blow. An only son and a biological brother, right?”
"You?"
Song Zhi had a sullen look on his face, and his two black feather-like eyebrows were knitted together. He was very puzzled because according to rumors in the world, Chai Shao only got the relics of the Evil Emperor. With the support of Zhu Yuyan, she took the position of the new leader of the Xieji Sect, and Song Shidao and Song Lu were killed before Yang Gong's treasure house was opened. How did Chai Shao order Zhou Laotan and his wife to kill the Song family at that time?
He was thinking about the problem when he suddenly heard the sound of bowstrings next to him.
Phew.
A sharp arrow shot out from the side and pierced the heart of the person talking to him.
This arrow was fast, accurate, and ruthless. The strong wind surrounding the arrow alone was enough to hurt a person's skin.
However, the man on the sweat-blooded colt just clenched forward, and the arrow that could penetrate the armor suddenly stalled and fell into his palm with an extremely light and soft force. With a flick of his thumb, the arrow The pole was broken into two pieces and fell in front of the horse's hoof.
Song Zhi glanced to the side and saw that it was his cousin Song Shuang who launched the sneak attack. His face was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. He seemed confused as to why his sneak attack was blocked by the enemy. Breaks easily.
“According to Master Fan Zhai’s speculation, after Chai Shaode recognized the evil emperor’s relics, his strength was close to that of Demon Commander Zhao Deyan. Now it seems that what he said is true.”
Song Shuang’s combat power is in The Song clan was only worse than the three brothers, and still above Song Shidao. On the surface, this charged attack did not kill Chai Shao, but it also indirectly proved the fact that if the two faced each other head-on, Song Shuang would definitely not be Chai Shao. opponent.
Chu Pingsheng said: "I remember that Song Que always talked about being upright and aboveboard. It turned out to be nothing more than that."
The cavalry behind them raised their long spears and shouted "little man", drowning out the sound of the infantry's march. All suppressed.
Song Zhi said: "A soldier never tires of deceit."
"Okay, a good soldier never tires of deceit." Chu Pingsheng said: "In that case, in order to win the battle, how can I deal with your Song family? You won’t have any complaints?”
Song Zhi smiled coldly: “Do you think you still have a chance?”
Song Shuang gathered his inner strength and shouted loudly to the cavalry and infantry behind Chu Pingsheng: "People behind, listen, your food route has been cut off by the leader of the feudal lord, and you will be without food soon. If you know the truth, quickly put down your weapons and surrender. I The Song family's supreme body and heaven's heart will spare your lives. "
He thought that with this shout, the Sui army's morale would be shaken and their morale would drop drastically. Who knew that the enemy was not at all confused, and Dugu Feng and Linglong arrived at the end. Jiao noticed this scene and finally understood why Chai Daguanren did not conceal the battle situation at the rear.
"It is disrespectful to come and not return." Chu Pingsheng also gathered his inner strength and shouted loudly: "Old, young, women and children in the city, listen, if I take action, innocent people will be hurt. I will give you two hours. Before the two armies start fighting, quickly exit Cangwu City."
Shangguan Long glanced at the sun and made some calculations, and found that it was almost night.
Chu Pingsheng said to Song Zhi: "Open the south gate and let the women and children in the city leave."
Song Zhichong smiled sarcastically and didn't appreciate it.
Song Shuang laughed and said: "Chai Shao, not to mention that you will definitely lose in this battle, even if the Sui army's food route is not cut off, it is really ridiculous for you to try to shake the morale of our army and the people. The power in this world, Who doesn’t know that all the people of the Lingnan tribe are soldiers, and my brother Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, is the god in the eyes of the Liliao tribes? Remember when Emperor Wen sent 100,000 elite soldiers to face my brother Song Que, and they fought ten battles outside Cangwu City? He failed, and finally returned to the Central Plains in despair. Now that the Sui Dynasty has run out of luck, Xiao Meiniang, a woman of the class, wants to conquer the land of Baiyue south of Wuling. It is simply a fool's dream. "Chu Pingsheng was not despised by the two. Angry, he said calmly: "So, you two are responsible for the casualties of women and children in the city?"
Song Shuang said: "That is natural."
< br>Chu Pingsheng said: "But I still want to hear the voices of those people themselves, rather than the high-profile voices of you two representatives."
Song Shuang's face became even more contemptuous: "Huh, that's a lot of nonsense."
Song Zhi waved his hand to stop his cousin, looked down the city and asked: "Chai Shao, let me ask you, my brother Song Luhe Who was Shidao killed? "
"Me."
"You are sure?"
"You dare to touch my flesh and blood, you Lingnan. The Song family deserves death.”
"Hmph." Song Zhi snorted coldly and winked at the man standing behind him. The man turned around and entered the city gate tower. After a while, he used a knife to hold a man in the back with disheveled hair, hands tied behind his back, and wearing a loose high-waisted skirt. The woman came out. Judging from the bulge of her belly, the day of giving birth was not far away.
Song Shuang said angrily: "Chai Shao, take a good look at who this is?!"
"Shang! Show! Xun!"
Chu Pingsheng said every word Tao, his face became colder every time he uttered a word.
She also saw the man below the city, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden. She recalled that her original stubbornness had resulted in the current desperate situation, and she turned her head away in discomfort.
The wind in the city gate tower was strong, causing the hair to fly wildly, and a strand of black hair stuck to the corner of the lips.
Chu Pingsheng looked at her haggard look and smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect that the dignified Lingnan Song clan would use such means to deal with a weak woman. If it hadn't killed you Song family, your heads would be rolling. , I write the word Chai Shao backwards from now on. "
Tap, step, step...
It is Shiba Jing riding back.
It wasn't that they wanted to retreat, it was the murderous aura rising up that frightened the horses under their crotches, and even tugging at the reins couldn't stop them from retreating.
Song Zhi held the bricks on both sides of the crenellation and said loudly: "Originally, she was my last resort, used to delay your offensive, but now, I have changed my mind. Didn't you ask me to let the women and children in the city leave? Then I'll show you who has the highest fighting spirit."
As he retreated, an old man in his sixties walked to the crenel and said tremblingly: "The bastard from the north. Go back to Hebei, I only wish I couldn't be thirty years younger and go into battle and chop off your dogs' heads."
Another man with a rusty iron gun in his hand and a sick look on his face said. : "Thieves, don't be arrogant. I knew you were coming. Standing here today means that I am determined to live and die with the Song clan."
There is another man with a fleshy face, wearing an apron, and half of his body. The woman with oil stains and two kitchen knives in both hands stared at Shang Xiuxun's belly fiercely: "You thief named Chai, the child in her belly is yours, right? You are here early. If it is another half month late, your child will be waiting for you. "I wish I could chop your son of a bitch into pieces and make soup for the soldiers and civilians in the city."
At this time, a forty-year-old woman grabbed the spear from the guarding soldier and stabbed Shang Xiuxun.
The general next to him had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly snatched away the spear.
"Why? Why don't you let me kill the woman and child of the dog thief named Chai."
"It's not time yet."
Song Shuang laughed wildly. : "Chai Shao, are you afraid now? Who are we, the Lingnan Song family, afraid of?"
Dugu Feng, who was behind the cavalry unit, had already grasped the hilt of the sword, and the blade was half an inch out of the sheath.
Linglongjiao's face was as cold as the water of a cold pond, and for the first time she felt the same hatred as this cheap husband.
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Chu Pingsheng said three good words in succession and glanced at the sky above his head, “I wholeheartedly protect your life, but I treat my wife and children like this ."
After that, he waved his hand towards the back and said sternly: "Pass my order, everyone, step back ten miles."
