But in the distant city of Changsha, there was a solemn and dull atmosphere.
Although the grass thieves outside the city had only tried to attack twice, the soldiers and civilians in the city had already felt a certain amount of pressure and threat. After all, no one would like the rocks and clay eggs flying above his head, and the danger of being killed or injured from time to time. Not to mention the terrible momentum shown by those super thieves outside the city.
It should be noted that the usual battle configuration of the past and present is nothing more than the combination of the spearman, the knife row, and the crossbow. In addition, the cavalry, which is used to harass and contain and even rush into the battle at a critical time, has been used to make a final decision, which has almost run through most of the war process in the entire history.
However, the grass thief camp under the city clearly exceeded these basic expectations. Not only do they have a complete range of distant and close forces, they also have a very high proportion of armor and uniform equipment; there are even decent navy and Armed warships swam on the Xiangshui and intercepted the battlefield outside the siege. Not to mention those towering towers on the outskirts of the city, there are more large and small siege equipment under construction.
With its prosperous lineup, its complex and complete equipment, it is scary just to make people look at it; and who is born to be the master of the imperial court, or is it the ragged and unkempt faces in the previous Di Wen, Will only ants attach to Pancheng's messy mud legs that bravely sacrificed their lives? Such serious illusions.
And this is just the result of them turning around in a circle outside the ridge and dormant for several months; therefore, all kinds of urgent letters and documents for help have long been like snow flakes on the blockade on the water of Xiangshui that has not been completely closed. , And flew away.
And in a temporary camp near the north gate,
"Take them all... This is the kindness of the envoy..."
A push officer from the Observatory's Mansion pushed down a basket of copper coins from the cart, and dumped them in an uproar in front of the sergeants who lined up. Then the batches of silk loaded on the car were also thrown in front of them.
It's just that the numbers of these soldiers seem to be uneven, and everyone's armor is covered with soaked blood stains, or wounds that have been bandaged. They all bypassed the side door to sneak into the grass thief's siege equipment, but they fell short of the enemy's preset pits and siege. They were all Yunzhou soldiers who had escaped from the dead.
Seeing that there is still not much change and anger in the team in front of him, then the push officer, as if waking up from a dream, shouted outside the camp gate;
"Hurry up and bring people into the labor force..."
Then, I saw a group of women with sad and worried expressions, pushed and driven by more than a dozen Tsing Yi military officials, loose and filed in and deliberately pushed into the array of these soldiers.
At this time, the solemn and gloomy atmosphere in front of the army relaxed, and it turned into various women's exclamations and screams, and men's dull roars.
"This is just to appease (to deal with) the past... It's really not easy..."
The push officer touched the sweat bead on his forehead, but he didn't notice that a few sergeants cast a malicious look of resentment and resentment towards him, but he still mumbled to himself.
"This group of thieves kills a thousand swords, if it is not for the grass thieves who must do their best now, why would Lao Tzu make a low-pitched plea to Er et al..."
The weather is still hot in July, which is full of fire, especially in this humid and sullen Jianghan land. It is also very difficult in the daytime. Even the soldiers and civilians in the city have become sick with Sha. On the contrary; It is the grass thieves outside the city that seem to be unaffected, but still gather to benefit the crowd and continue to attack.
So he just stood here for a while, and he was already soaked in this fine silk gauze; seeing that he could get rid of this errand immediately, he couldn't wait to return to his shady house and enjoy the well. The town’s cool melons and concubine’s fans are blowing.
However, in this rush to deal with the past, he seems to have forgotten another incidental thing in his head. However, the officials in the Observatory's Office have listed them in the list of rewards that have already been issued.
The result was the strange atmosphere that began to diffuse in this Yunzhou army on the second day.
"A certain family has already been inquired... Jieya indeed recruited thousands of vehicles from the city for labor and military use... There are melons, fruits, silk, and herbal medicine."
A raw black and thick soldier, with a voice squeezed through his teeth
"But the first to be rewarded and supported is still the dental soldiers and the elite athletes, as well as the local united officials."
"They picked out the remaining miscellaneous objects before it was the turn of the various passenger troops under their command..."
"First, the Jiangling soldiers, then the Qingzhou soldiers, and the Nanyang soldiers and the Yicheng army...Even the newly supplemented soil groups have been eaten with seasonal fruits and vegetables... Partial births don't have the share of our Yunzhou children. ..."
"Could it be that our Yunzhou children were all forced to raise by my little mother... Do you end up with such preferential treatment if you are desperately trying to make a living..."
"Then I wouldn't be more comfortable if I went to be a thief..."
"You shut up... How can you talk nonsense about this, don't you think it's not enough right and wrong..."
Now all the Yunzhou army will be scornful.
"Don't drag this Black Friday to me... I've thought about it in confinement..."
However, when returning to the camp to patrol and appease the soldiers, looking at the large and large tanks of drinking water that are so muddy that they need to settle before they can drink, this Yun Zhou can't help but become a little angry and bored. ；
I think of those Xiangdang robes who still lie down outside the city. The number of three thousand that came out at the beginning is now less than half; and those who are pretentiously leaning on the side of a huge weapon and holding a crossbow and armour. The arrow is like a rain of grass thief; I feel more embarrassed and panic in my heart.
Then, in his barracks, he saw piles of variegated rough and uneven thin and black money strings, as well as the women with big hands and big eyes like dead fish; and then he thought of those in the inner city. All day long, they approve silk and hang silks and give them money and money at every turn. However, the children of the gods and the united athletes who have repeatedly called prostitutes in the city can not help but slam their forehead fiercely, smashing them into countless fragments and splashes.
"Bring the black five guy here..."
He almost gritted his teeth.
That night, the Li family, who had just picked up the lamp all night and worked hard to write, once again wrote an urgent memo that boasted that he "sit down in the city and kill the hordes of thieves calmly, and once again weeping blood, please ask for help"; just drank the ginseng head. Yinzi played with his concubine before falling asleep. But he was awakened by the sound of rapid footsteps and reports.
"What's the noise? Aren't you afraid to turn around..."
He half propped himself up naked in the drapery, and yelled impatiently.
"Didn't you have arranged a charter for the night watch
"Enlighten to observe, the big thing is not good..."
A hurried voice said
"It is shocked that the grass thief has already invaded the city... They are fighting together outside Dongxiangmen..."
"what.."
At this time, the Li family seemed to have been thoroughly poured with a bucket of ice water from head to toe, and then suddenly came to a sense of helplessness.
"How can this be so...Does the gatekeepers eat shit..."
"How did the generals on duty deal with..."
"Return to the envoy..."
After a while, before Li Xi was hurriedly dressed again, another hurried figure ran over.
"There are rumors that the Yunzhou army was in chaos and seized the door, and led the thief into the city..."
"Damn, these useless thieves..."
The Li system suddenly cursed loudly.
"Hurry up and send troops to beg and kill them..."
"Returning to the envoy, the Yicheng Army and Qingzhou Army have rushed to intercept and kill..."
The Li family only breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease. Finally, these days, the method of collecting the whole city and trying to reward the army was not in vain; thinking of this, he became more and more angry with the Yunzhou army who had turned to thieves, but could not raise it. The familiar jackals must be settled well in the future, and even their old masters must not want to have a better life.
"Report..."
Then another general who rushed over shouted
"The armies of the inner city have already raised their tents and set up camps. Only awaiting envoys to declare orders..."
However, it was as if the hope was not fulfilled, the bad news that the situation had taken a turn for the worse came one after another.
"In the report, the Nanyang Army said that the thieves were very strong, and both the chief and the deputy were not on the spot, and the rest retreated to the Jilufang for support.
"Report, the left side of the Jiangling Soldier has broken away, and the grass thief has invaded outside the shop gate..."
At this time, if you look far away from the tower, the firelight and the noise of fighting in the east of the city are getting stronger and closer; the light of all kinds of open fire sticks flashes, almost illuminating the small half of the outer night sky.
When the Li family led the crowd to the wall of Yacheng, looking at this movement, I felt more panicked and frightened in my heart; fortunately, there were a thousand tooth soldiers in Yacheng where he was located, and they rushed there nearby. The three thousand divine strategy troops in the city are already standing by under the city.
This also gave him some basic confidence and proof of peace of mind for the time being; it was just that the local united soldiers he had been paying favorably for money did not arrive in time, which also made him somewhat disappointed and disappointed.
"The soldiers listen to the order..."
It is rare for the Li family to face it with a calm and serious face, and a group of pros and cons gathered under the order.
"But kill the thief from the envoy..."
"Only envoys follow..."
"Envoys just give orders..."
These well-dressed pro-subordinate generals couldn't help but responded in awe.
"Bring all the men's vests and weapons, and quickly follow me to beat the thief outside the door..."
The Li family's next sentence absolutely made them look at each other in shock, and then they suddenly took their orders in a sudden and enlightened manner. Afterwards, he saw a shimmering horse wearing full armor rushing out of the inner city, and then galloping towards the north gate.
After a while, he still stayed in the inner city and Yacheng and was looking forward to the generals and officials. This was a bit of aftertaste and reaction; why the observer led his troops not outside the vigorous east city gate, but led the team Go straight to the north gate where there is no movement. So, in a panic and yelling, these consciously hopeless people began to open the door and ran away. (End of this chapter)
