In Dengzhou City, Zhu Wen sat in the room, silent.
When I was young, a soldier came to report: "General, all the generals and schools have arrived, just wait for the general to go over and hold a military meeting."
Zhu Wen waved his hand: "Let them wait!"
Seeing Zhu Wen's uneasy expression, the soldiers did not dare to say anything, and hurriedly retreated with fists in their hands.
Zhu Wen's face is not so ugly, but it is not good-looking either. In the past few days of the city's offensive and defensive battles, the Dengzhou Army was once in crisis, and was almost captured by the officers and soldiers. If he hadn't deployed troops properly and dispatched The brave trilogy went to block the gap, and the monk group composed of Taoists from Zhongnan Mountain went everywhere to put out the fire. I am afraid that Dengzhou City has been captured by the government army long ago, and he cannot sit here safely now.
The combat strength of the officers and soldiers far exceeded Zhu Wen's expectations. He originally thought that no matter how well-trained the Pinglu army was, they had never experienced war after all, and neither the combat strength nor the morale of the soldiers could be too good. Outstanding performance , that is, the battle formations are not tightly connected, and the cooperation with each other is not skillful.
In this way, in the siege battle, many large and small battle formations will expose many flaws, and many opportunities will be lost, allowing people to take advantage of them. Moreover, the siege battle is the most cruel, and the pressure on the siege party is also the greatest. Just imagine that rocks are being thrown, rolling trees, arrows, and molten iron pouring down on the top of the city. How can ordinary people dare to charge up
It is said that it is a sea of knives and fire, this is a sea of knives and fire! Seeing Tongpao falling from the ladder, falling into meatloaf on the ground, seeing Tongpao dying beside him, the intestines flowed out, wouldn't ordinary recruits cry in fright
However, what Zhu Wen saw in the past few days was the indomitable spirit of the soldiers of the Pinglu Army. They were not afraid of life and death, neither were they afraid of their own death in battle, nor were they afraid of their comrades dying in battle.
It is true that as newcomers in the battlefield, they still have too many things that are not good enough, make many mistakes, and the ability to seize opportunities is not strong enough. If not, they will not be driven out of the city again and again.
But this group of soldiers has a desperate drive. No matter how many enemies are in front of them, no matter what kind of situation they are facing, they dare to charge forward and charge desperately. With their unafraid of death and boiling blood, To make up for their shortcomings, the elite of the Dengzhou Army who fought all the battles complained.
There is an eternal truth on the battlefield, those who dare to fight are afraid of dying, and those who dare to fight are afraid of going crazy.
In the face of a group of soldiers who don't reason with you at all, no matter what the outcome is, no matter what the outcome is, no matter how they look at you in the face, they will jump down the city with you in their arms, how can this battle be fought? Fortunately, there are not many such people, and the morale of the Dengzhou Army will collapse if there are more.
Zhu Wen has been thinking about a question for the past few days, why are the recruits of the Pinglu Army so unafraid of death? Why so crazy? He thought for a long time but couldn't find an answer, because the obvious answer, which Zhu Wen didn't want to admit, was Li Ye's ability to govern the army.
Putting aside these miscellaneous thoughts, Zhu Wen stopped thinking about it, got up and left the house, and went to hold a military meeting with the generals. In any case, he is not a person who admits defeat easily, and he will become stronger as he meets a strong opponent.
However, before Zhu Wen walked out, the soldiers came to report eagerly, saying that the army had started to attack again.
Zhu Wen was taken aback, he looked up at the night, it was too late.
In the past few days, the government and army have been attacking the city day and night.
...
The seventh day of the siege.
The sun was rising in the east, and the rays of light were shining on the inside and outside of Dengzhou City. The formation of officers and troops had already been assembled. Li Ye came to the front of the battle formation and rode his horse to wait and see Dengzhou City.
After these few days of bloody battles, Dengzhou City has been destroyed beyond recognition. The female wall has collapsed and damaged most of it, there are traces of blood and fire everywhere, there is almost no clean place, cracks and gaps are everywhere, and the city wall facing Li Ye has been washed by blood and turned dark brown.
The soldiers of the Dengzhou Army stood at the head of the city, and the formation was fairly neat. However, in Li Ye's view, all of these people looked miserable, and it was obvious that there was not much fighting spirit left. Surrounded by all the generals, Zhu Wen stood at the top of the city, also looking at Li Ye.
Li Ye clamped his horse's belly, and slowly came to the front of the city tower, glanced at Zhu Wen, and said with a smile: "General Zhu, according to my opinion, the city of Dengzhou was broken today, why don't you come down and surrender."
His voice is not loud, but enough to be heard by those nearby.
Zhu Wen was not in a hurry: "King An, according to my opinion, you will never be able to capture Dengzhou City. You have been attacking for six days, and Dengzhou City is still safe and sound?"
Li Ye smiled and pointed to the dilapidated walls: "That's it, how dare General Zhu say he's safe and sound?"
Zhu Wen's face changed, he snorted coldly, and forced himself to be tough: "As long as King An can't attack the top of the city, the city will be safe and sound."
Li Ye laughed and said, "General Zhu said this, so I have to believe it even if I don't believe it. Speaking of which, I have a predestined relationship with General Zhu, and I met once before the war. To be honest, I admire the general quite a lot. I have always wanted to have another discussion with the general. Today this city will be captured by our army, if the general does not retreat, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity in the future, how about the general come down, how about we talk before the battle?"
Zhu Wen didn't change his face: "King An wants to destroy the city, I will still say that, wishful thinking. As for King An wanting to have a discussion, I will not hide it from King An. I will also admire King An very much. Why don't we come up with King An? Putting a table on the top of the city, talking about the world, talking and laughing, is also a good talk. What does King An think?"
Li Ye laughed loudly: "I heard that the general won the three armies bravely, but he doesn't even have the courage to go out of the city. This commander assures you that we will meet before the army and never do anything."
Zhu Wen said: "Come up if you have the ability."
Li Ye: "Come down if you have the guts."
"you come up!"
"get down!"
Li Ye and Zhu Wen spat at the same time, scolded cowards, and stopped talking to each other.
Li Ye returned to the front of the formation and looked around the battle formation of the Pinglu Army. The soldiers looked resolute and their eyes were like iron. Everyone exuded a strong fighting spirit. Their eyes fell on Li Ye, and they were all hot.
Looking at this young and brave face, Li Ye couldn't help being slightly moved.
He opened his mouth slowly, and his voice spread far away: "Since the yellow thieves ravaged the Central Plains, in the past seven years, mountains and rivers have been broken, people have been displaced, and wars have never ceased. The country is in misfortune, and the country is in ruins. This is a bloody battle. Zhi Shi! You are all passionate sons. Since you joined the army, you have practiced day and night, day and night, for today? A good man should carry a three-foot sword, make an immortal contribution, report to the country, report to his parents, and leave a name in history , seal his wife and son, and praise for future generations!"
Li Ye pulled out the horizontal knife from its sheath, and said in a passionate tone: "A man who does not show Ling Yunzhi is born with a body of eight feet! Now the bandits are in front of us, and Dengzhou City is in front of us. I want you to answer me, you want me?" how?"
The three thousand fangs all took the lead in roaring in unison, and the sound shook the world: "Kill the thief and serve the country, kill the thief and serve the country, kill the thief and serve the country!"
One hundred thousand flat Lu troops shouted in unison: "Kill the thief and serve the country, kill the thief and serve the country, kill the thief and serve the country!"
The 160,000 officers and soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill the thief and serve the country, kill the thief and serve the country, kill the thief and serve the country!"
The shouts and shouts were like turbulent waves, echoing endlessly among the officers and soldiers and outside the three walls of Dengzhou City.
At this moment, everything is silent, the sky is pale, only the hot-blooded man has the ambition to kill the thief!
The guards and soldiers at the top of Dengzhou city all changed face when they saw this, and looked at each other in horror. Some people couldn't stop taking a few steps back, and couldn't even hold the spears in their hands. Even Zhu Wen and other generals showed horror in their eyes.
Li Yele turned his horse's head and faced the dilapidated Dengzhou City in the bloody flames: "Today, I, Li Ye, fought the enemy side by side with all the soldiers. Although I was bloody, I did not retreat! In today's battle, there is only the front, and there is no retreat! If the same If you die, you will be shrouded in horse leather with you; if you live together, you will go directly to Chang'an with you!"
Hengdao pointed forward, and Li Ye shouted: "Send the order, attack the city!"
"Commander: Siege the city!" The messenger galloped away, the horses galloped, the dust was flying, and they rushed around the formation.
"Commander: Siege!"
"Shuai Ling" siege! "
The sound of the order spread far and wide, reaching every phalanx accurately.
"Woooo!" The dull and thick horn whimpered.
"Boom, boom!" The majestic drummer waved his drumsticks and pounded them heavily on the war drum.
Listening to the sound of the drums, the soldiers moved their steps, and the armored ocean formed a neat square formation, approaching Dengzhou City from three sides.
Their footsteps followed the rhythm of the war drums, and it seemed that even their heartbeats were in line with the sound of the war drums. Hundreds of war drums thundered in unison, and only the sound of drums exploded in the world.
Every time the soldiers took a step, the sound of wearing armor rings rang out in unison, and the sound of gold and ge made people's blood boil.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" The sound of the Russian drums became heavier and denser, the footsteps of the soldiers also accelerated, and the movement of the phalanx accelerated in an orderly manner.
"Dong dong dong dong!" When the sound of war drums exploded like a torrential rain, countless soldiers in the three-sided phalanx suddenly burst into earth-shattering shouts, and the neat army formation instantly turned into waves, rushing towards Dengzhou City like a tide run.
The ground shook at this moment, and even Dengzhou City seemed to tremble, leaving only a raging wave of iron armor, which could destroy cities and pull out villages, move mountains and fill seas, and kill gods and Buddhas!
The two armies have been fighting for several days, but there is no day when the Dengzhou Army officers and soldiers at the top of the city are as frightened as they are now. Seeing the army's armored tide rushing in, many archers at the top of the city can't help shaking their hands. The arrows were unsteady, no matter how much the generals scolded them, some were shaking all the time, and some even couldn't control their fingers and let the iron arrows fly out first.
"Let the arrow!"
Seeing the wave of officers and soldiers approaching the city, the shouts of generals and academies sounded from the top of Dengzhou City. Amidst the dense sound of strings, iron arrows were shot out, forming dark clouds in mid-air, and falling into the formation of officers and troops.
The arrows hit the shield with a bang bang sound, some were bounced off directly, some got stuck in the shield, but most of them stuck into the ground. Some soldiers were shot at their armor, they paused, but immediately continued to run.

Some soldiers were shot in the vitals, blood gushed out, and they were still running, and fell down screaming after a few steps. There were dots of gaps in the army formation, but the gaps were quickly filled in by the soldiers. The torrent of iron armor was still unstoppable, and there were clouds of smoke and dust under their feet, but the smoke was quickly submerged by the figures of the soldiers, and the cycle repeated.
