Chapter 361 Kill me
Before Zhang Chong's new order arrived, Chen Huanbu had already reacted.
The actor was none other than Chen Cheng, who was an expert in the military with a rifle and crossbow. Because he and Chen Huan were from the same clan, the military also called him "Little Chen".
The heroic deeds performed by the Julu Army on the south wall just now all fell in Xiao Chen's eyes.
But the heroism of the enemy was different for Chen Cheng who fell outside the barrier.
As soon as he was released from the collision team, he served as a general in the army of his brother Chen Huan. At this moment, he was responsible for commanding the long archers to shoot at the Han army on the southern wall.
At this time, when he saw the enemy soldiers walking vigorously on the opposite side and boosting their morale with just a few words, his face turned dark.
He took out a waist crossbow, estimated the distance, then sat down, twisted his waist and stretched the string, and shot at the enemy at the front.
The thunderous arrow not only hit the healthy man in the middle, but also nailed him directly to the wall of the corridor.
This blow directly frightened the Han soldiers on the wall. They didn't care about shouting anymore and subconsciously fell to the ground.
It can be said that Chen Cheng destroyed Cheng Huanjun's newly built morale with one blow.
Chen Cheng's feat fell in the eyes of the commander-in-chief Chen Huan, which naturally caused the Taishan Army veteran to shout loudly. He wanted to promote his clan brother, so he shouted:
"Xiao Chen is a great shot, and the flying general Li Guang is just like that."
Immediately, he wrote two words in handwriting on a yellow flag: "Fei She". Then he asked Beiqi to deliver the flag to Chen Cheng and tell Chen Cheng. After the war, he will definitely ask for credit for Xiao Chen, and when the time comes, he will definitely write a "Flying Shooting" flag in his own hand.
Just after the flag was sent out, the military orders sent from the rear were also delivered to Chen Huan.
Listening to the flag on his back repeating Qu Shuai's command, especially the last sentence:
"Who is the thief!"
Chen Huan slapped his chest heavily and said fiercely:
"You go back and report to Commander Qu, saying that I, Chen Huan, will not let the reputation of my Taishan Army be brought to shame."
After saying that, he said to the general beside him:
"Send my order and move the flag to the front of the formation."
The general was shocked:
"Sima, you must not do this. The enemy's crossbows are very powerful, just in case..."
Chen Huan cursed:
"What if, just what if. Remember, the military might of our Taishan Army is more important than my life, Old Chen. Let's go, the whole army moves forward, I want to see if the camp opposite is really It’s made of iron. Even if Nai Gong’s teeth were broken, he would have to chew them up.”
In this way, Chen Huanjun's flag was flying, and each unit received the flag order and moved forward one after another.
……
Just now, Xiao Chen shot an arrow in anger, which greatly boosted the morale of the front army. First, a "flying shot" flag was sent from the rear, and then the attack flag was waved from the rear.
Although Chen Cheng didn't know why Chen Huan ordered a full attack, after all, their army was mostly archers and crossbowmen, who were good at long-distance fighting. But as Xiao Chen himself said, he never regarded himself as just a crossbowman!
He, Xiao Chen, is a master of both spear and crossbow!
Chen Cheng tied up his trousers, put on his armor, put down the crossbow on his waist, and took an iron spear from the guard's hand.
Then he looked at his entourage and saw that they all wore short swords, wore iron armor, and held large axes. Although there were only ten people in total, the whole group was majestic.
These ten people were all Yellow Turban warriors in the Runan Yellow Turbans at that time, and were given to him by Chen Cheng's two sworn brothers. Chen Cheng and these ten people wore the same clothes, slept together, and ate the same food, and they were like brothers.
Chen Cheng looked at the ten people silently, pointed behind him and said solemnly:
"Do you know who is behind?"
The clever one among the ten people replied loudly:
"It's the general!"
"Yes, it's Qu Shuai. Qu Shuai is watching us from behind?"
After saying this, Chen Cheng pointed to the east and west and said to the ten people:
"You also heard it just now. As soon as the two sides broke the wall, Qu Shuai sent us a letter of merit, indicating that Qu Shuai was watching us all the time. I, Xiao Chen, consciously have ambitions and luck, but I consciously missed a chance. , a real big opportunity. I never fail you, but I hope you will not fail us today. I will take the lead in the charge. If I die, don't worry about my body, and we will continue to move forward. Brothers, either do something big or die together.”
After saying that, Chen Cheng yelled:
"Is that so?"
The ten warriors roared:
"Here!"
"Is that so?"
"Here!"
Chen Cheng waved his spear across the wall and shouted at the Julu Army barrier to the west:
"Kill!"
……
At this time, on the wall of the Chinese army behind the corridor, Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu, looked at the battle ahead with a serious face.
Guo Dian looked towards the four poles and saw that the sun was spreading its rays all over the earth, and the clouds in the distance were also rendered golden. This golden projection reflected the bright yellow army below, as if the heaven and earth had lost all other colors.
There are countless camps in the wilderness. The flags are like a forest, and the voice is like thunder. From time to time there were scouts and scouting horses coming in and out, galloping as fast as flying. They loudly sent orders to a certain formation, and then the formation moved out after a while, and in a short time they had replaced the friendly troops fighting in front.
There are more than 10,000 people in the vast place, but the flowing clouds and flowing water that are mobilized have an intoxicating beauty.
No matter how proud Guo Dian was, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I have never seen such a powerful army in my life."
At this point, Guo Dian had actually given up his ambition to compete with the Taishan Army on the battlefield. This kind of soldiers is not something that his county can contend with. It must be united with Youji's military power to defeat them.
Seeing such power, Guo Dian could still hold on, but the staff and soldiers beside him all had pale faces, and those who were timid had their arms and legs trembling.
After fighting against the Taishan Army, I realized that the former Hebei Taiping Road was really friendly!
Take Guo Xun and Wei Liang, who were killed by the Taishan Army not long ago. The two of them were not killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the previous war, and they were also the nightmares of the Yellow Turbans in Hebei.
But then what? It's so shameful to die like this at the hands of two unknown people from the Taishan Army!
But the shy mood has not yet settled, and there is another roar of mountains and tsunami coming from the battlefield over there:
"The thief general Cheng Huan was killed by me, Chen Cheng!"
"The thief general Cheng Huan was killed by me, Chen Cheng!"
……
At this time, all the staff could no longer hold on, and one of them collapsed on the ground.
Without him, it's just because Cheng Huan is the most courageous in the army. In terms of elite soldiers, he may not be as good as Gao Lan, but who dares to kill Cheng Huan with his fierceness?
But such a brave soldier was beheaded!
At this time, a staff member turned to Guo Dian and said:
"My lord, it's hard to control the thieves. It's not even half a day since the full attack. Three of our four outer walls have been trapped. As my lord said, the Zhongshan soldiers will definitely come to our aid, but judging from our servants, we probably won't be able to hold on." That’s time.”
The man suddenly raised his head and said loudly to Guo Dian:
"My lord, if we continue to fight, we will inevitably suffer chaos. It is better to choose to break out now and still have a glimmer of hope."
Guo Dian was still thinking, and the staff suggested again:
"My lord, your daughter's son, if you fall here, what will happen to the people of Julu? I hope my lord can make a living for the common people, and I will retreat for the time being because of the shame. In the future, we will unite with the counties in the north to attack this thief again." Guo Dian sighed. , said:
"That's all. Where do you want to break out?"
This person already had a draft, pointing out:
"You can rush to Yiyang. There are still thousands of soldiers there and there are still grains accumulated, so you can save nothing."
This person said he was going to Yiyang, and another staff member immediately raised an objection:
"This is wrong. The city of Yiyang is small, so it is better to run west to Shangdang. From there, you can enter Hedong and return to the capital."
But just when the two of them were talking about running around, one person stood out from the crowd and said to Guo Dian:
"Master Fu, Yi Yang and Shangdang are not allowed to go there. Just imagine that the reason why the barrier of our corridor can be defended is because Master Fu is here to guard it with them. As the two of you said, they may run east or west. When the time comes, everyone will The crowds of thieves are already strong and they are trying to kill us from behind. How can we rush to Yiyang and Shangdang? Although we have little food, we can still survive for ten months. The reason for seeking death? If the two opinions must be followed, the official is willing to splash blood on the neck and dirty the horse's hooves. ”
This person's words directly angered one of the officers, and the person pointed angrily:
"Tian Yuanhao, you are putting your lord's safety at risk. You are disloyal."
This man named Tian Yuanhao was also fierce and retorted directly:
"You are setting up a government to be unjust, you are disloyal!"
Yes, this Tian Yuanhao is Tian Feng from Julu, a handsome man in Hebei. This person has a strong personality and has always been unsuccessful.
Fortunately, Guo Xun knew that this person was capable, so he did not take it seriously and recruited him into the government.
Of course, this was also because of the fierce war and danger, so Guo Dian endured the discomfort and kept him by his side. Otherwise, in normal times, who would find a thorn to put next to them to make themselves sick?
What, you said he is capable? What does it have to do with me? Can you make me more comfortable?
So when Tian Feng stood up again and asked Guo Dian to continue to hold on, Guo Dian felt agitated. In fact, he was already determined to run, but he was just not sure where to run?
To the east, in fact, they continued to stay in Julu County and fight to the death with the Taishan Army. To run westward would mean abandoning Julu County, heading straight to Luoyang, and joining the new dynasty in Luoyang.
To be honest, he personally prefers to rush west to Luo. Because he knew that with the strength of the Taishan Army, it would be a matter of time before he annexed Heshuo, and it was meaningless to stay here and continue to fight.
It is better to go to Luoyang as early as possible. He may be hidden at first, but once the Guandong court wants to go to war with the Taishan Army in the future, then he, an expert who knows Taishan, will inevitably be reused.
But although Tian Feng is annoying, he is right about one thing. If you run away at this time, you may really get killed.
What to do?
While Guo Dian was still hesitating, Zang Hong, who had been standing silently beside Guo Dian, stepped out.
He paid homage to Guo Dian:
"Master, there is no need to worry. My father's reinforcements must have been sent. I can ask my companion Chen Rong to break out with my talisman and urge the Zhongshan soldiers to come quickly for reinforcements."
Guo Dian looked at Zang Hong's determined eyes, calmed down a little, and made up his mind:
"All armies, none of us have been favored by the country. It is our duty to be loyal to the country. From now on, I intend to guard with the three armies. If anyone dares to run away again, no matter who they are, they will be killed!"< br>
After all, Guo Dian is the master. After he gave this order, no one dared to say anything. But many people looked at Tian Feng's back with hatred.
Just like that, as the sun rose high, the warriors on the wall sat and looked at Zhao Fubi to the north, which was also the only wall at present, and remained silent.
I just don’t know how long Zhao Fu can last.
……
To everyone's surprise, the North Face persisted until sunset.
But obviously the tenacity of the north wall also annoyed the Taishan Army, so even if the sun was about to set, the Taishan Army had no intention of stopping the attack.
There were even sergeants setting up torches all the time. Judging from the posture, even if they attacked at night, they would capture the north wall.
At this time, they were in an extremely wide wilderness behind the east side of the north wall of the Julu Army. Gao Lan, the great general of Julu, was resting here with his five hundred cavalry.
Compared with the shouts of killing that filled the sky not far away, there was no sound here except the sound of people eating and horses chewing. Everyone is resting and eating.
Gao Lan was wearing his helmet and armor, but because it was inconvenient to sit on the ground, he was sitting on a horse.
He was chewing a piece of millet biscuit, silently looking at Zhao Fu's military camp in the distance, silently.
Suddenly, a young man wearing a crimson cloak next to him said:
"Gao Lan, are you just watching like this? The killing in the north is like that. It's time for us to rush over and give those Taishan thieves a hard blow."
But no one paid any attention to the young general's cries. He either continued to bite the cake or fed his mount a handful of beans.
Gao Lan finished the last bite of the cake, tilted his head and looked at the young general, and said coldly:
"Xiao Guo, did I issue a military order before to silence the entire cavalry? Why, you dare to violate our military laws?"
The man named Xiao Guo was a member of the prefect Guo Dian. Gao Lan was defeated in the previous battle. Although Guo Dian did not punish him, he assigned Gao Lan a supervisor, this is Xiao Guo.
So in the face of Gao Lan's doubts, Xiao Guo obviously didn't take it to heart and joked:
"Don't do this to me. I'm so talkative. Besides, aren't you talking too? You are violating your own military law! The last thing to say is ugly, you long-legged flying general still dare to kill me. ?”
After saying this, the man also patted Gao Lan's armor, hoping to avoid doing this to Mr. Nai.
But this time he would be wrong. Gao Lan obviously had other ideas.
Gao Lan slowly stood up from the horse, looking down at Xiao Guo with his extremely tall stature. Then listen to Gao Lan say word by word:
"Is it possible for a boy like you to show off your words in the army? Do you think you are a member of the prefect, so you dare to despise me? How dare you call me by my first name in the army? Now I regard you as contemptuous of Shangguan and Hustle in the army. Sin, I’ll kill you, and don’t blame yourself for your unjust death when you get down there.”
These extremely oppressive words and murderous intent made Xiao Guo panic, and he knelt on the ground to apologize.
But Gao Lan was unmoved and pressed Xiao Guo's head with one hand, then pressed him to the ground.
The abundant force pressed on Xiao Guo's head, and half of his face was pressed into the soil. He panicked and begged for mercy:
"Don't kill me. My uncle will not spare you. Don't kill me..."
After all, Xiao Guo couldn't finish his words. Gao Lan took out a short blade from his waist and pressed it directly into the base of Xiao Guo's neck.
Xiao Guo's whole body trembled, and then he stopped moving. He never understood until his death why Gao Lan had the guts to kill him!
After killing Xiao Guo, Gao Lan cut off his head and threw it to the ground.
The round head rolled on the ground and stopped at the feet of a warrior.
This man didn't care that he was a member of Guo Dian's tribe. He raised his head elsewhere with one kick, and then strode towards Gao Landao:
"Brother, brothers are all ready and ready to break out at any time."
Gao Lan nodded, patted his clan brother Gao Hu, and then got on his horse.
After that, five hundred cavalry followed Gao Lan through the narrow gap in the southwest corner, obviously wanting to take advantage of the night to rush out.
Behind them were the cheers of the Taishan Army.
The last wooden fence of Zhao Fu's fortress in the north has been knocked down, and its wall is completely open to the front of the Taishan Army.
