Chapter 748: Temptation (5)

Hell, why are there a drum?!

At this time, the one who responded the most to the drum beat on the city tower was not the Liangshan Army, who was very happy to kill, but the former Goryeo border army who worked hard for Li Ziqian.

For the Liangshan Army, the task is to steal the city and let the opponents make all kinds of tricks. I just respond to changes with the same scheming. But these former Goryeo border troops are different. Since they are part of the defenders, they still know a little bit of dirty things about their own people.

Li Ziqian set the policy this time to take the lead, use it to resist the first wave of the Song army and consume the opponent's vitality. As the 40,000 border infantry with the strongest combat power in the city, he was responsible for fighting out in one fell swoop after problems occurred on the first line of defense and deciding the world.

For the powerful private soldiers who acted as meat shields, no one was willing to stand on the front line to face the Song army's military front. However, their numbers looked numerous, but they were a mess. Their masters were all called Li Ziqian to defeat each other and play around. How could they have room for bargaining?

I have to say that Li Ziqian is still very capable. He is a coercion against private soldiers, but he is a temptation to the border troops.

Almost all the generals led by the frontier army received generous rewards from Li Ziqian. Coupled with Li Ziqian's intentional or unintentional complaints, and the natural despise of the border army towards the newly established Beijing army, these purer warriors finally made all the purest warriors enter the trap and proudly act as the savior.

Didn't you ever think that Li Ziqian had a hand in the end?

When someone angrily threw an angry glance under the city, his eyes turned green in an instant. Countless crossbowmen who emerged from their former hiding place were bent their bows and arrows and gestured towards the city. They were as if thousands of arrows were firing at the same time. Four other teams of thousands began to block the horse road of the city.

"Are these fucking beasts still personal?"

Chen Da, who slashed his opponent's shield with a knife, couldn't help but be angry. The two of them stared at each other with big eyes, as time seemed to freeze at this moment. One arrow shot by the same Goryeo people was inserted into Chen Da's left shoulder, and the next one was shakyly standing on the opponent's back.

The two strange people who had never met before, both understood the meaning of each other's eyes in a moment, almost at the same time. The two people who had just wanted to die and chose to stop tacitly.

"They even attack their own people. If we don't leave, we will become hedgehogs!" Yang Chun, covered in blood, moved closer to Shi Jin and quickly gave his own advice and retreat.

Shi Jin did not hesitate in a flash. Although he and the entire army were determined to make achievements, fighting such a meaningless battle with no one can even be considered a courageous man. Judging from the current situation, let alone taking the city, even if he suffered heavy casualties, it was a problem whether he could reach the city gate.

"withdraw!"

Shi Jin gritted his teeth and made a decision. Yang Chun called the soldiers, fought and walked, and moved closer to the ladder. At this time, the Goryeo border army no longer got entangled with the Song army. They retreated to the edge of the city and cursed loudly, but what was greeted was the cold arrows of their compatriots. No, those who came in front of them should not be called "cold arrows", and they may have been directly defined as execution or silence.

"Your Majesty, the enemy will destroy the Great Wall before retreating. An ominous sign!" Even the confidants around Li Ziqian could not bear to see this kind of barbaric behavior that was inseparable from the enemy and us.

"An ominous sign?! ​​No matter how ominous it is, it is better to ask the Song army to rush to you and me. Take your nine and a half pounds!" Li Ziqian sneered and said, "I want to let that stinky boy see it. If I'm too impatient, I can do anything!"

Some people are advised, some are flattering. At this time, someone smiled and looked at Li Ziqian and said, "The king is wise!"

Li Ziqian glanced at this person and turned his eyes away. At the same time, a sad and angry voice surged in his heart, "I have even given up Renzhou, what else can I be reluctant to give up!"

...

Ling Zhen was probably the best general in this era who was good at the coordination of artillery artillery. When the Liangshan Army gained the upper hand on the city wall, he ordered his subordinates to stop projecting completely because the landing point of the stone artillery was very unstable, and due to uneven force, it was very likely to hit his own people.

The consequences of a stone bullet hitting one's own head and the blow to morale are irreparable, even if ten stone bullets hit the opponent at the same time.

However, when he saw the huge changes on the city wall, he had already begun to spontaneously provide firepower support without waiting for Wang Lun to order. He could never have imagined that his opponent could make such a crazy move.

Because of the indiscriminate coverage of the Wangjing defenders, almost everyone of the two armies that had already gone down the city were injured. Li Kui, who was naked, suffered the biggest loss since he went up the mountain. Although Li Gun and Xiang Chong were covered with cover, the black man was still covered in three arrows, bleeding all over, dyeing his black skin into a dark red color, which seemed shocking.

"What are you doing when I carry me back? I want to kill all these guys and avenge the children!"

Li Kui's screams were heard all the way. Although Fan Rui, who was carrying him on his back, could still feel the wetness on his back. He knew that this was not sweat, but the blood of his brothers.

"Medical officer! Erlang, help me! Save Tie Niu!"

Looking at Wu Song who was rushing to pick him up, Fan Rui screamed at the bottom. Wu Song saw that the man had exhausted his strength and hurriedly stepped forward to pick Li Kui up, and ran into the camp with his back. Li Kui was still yelling and scolding, which made Wu Song feel a little relieved. He was not afraid of this guy struggling and moving, but he was afraid that this guy would not move anymore.

Fortunately, Wu Song was carrying him. Li Kui returned earlier than most people. An Daoquan, who had been waiting in front of the formation, quickly met and rescued the beloved general of the village leader. During the treatment process, Wang Lun came to visit him and said nothing. In the end, he just gave Ling Zhen a death order. If he didn't knock out all the stone bullets today, he would never stop his troops!

During this period, Zhu Wu accompanied Shi Jin to apologize to Wang Lun. When Shi Jin saw Wang Lun, he knelt down and said, "Marcenary, the attack is not good. The young general is responsible for his brother's heavy trust. Come and take the crime!"

"I underestimated Li Ziqian's cruel nature and had nothing to do with you!" Wang Lun stepped forward to help Shi Jin, who had returned from a fierce battle, and comforted him.

Shi Jin was extremely depressed. He knew how rare this opportunity was to siege the city before Lu Zhishen and Wu Song! But he just stepped down so undecently, asking him to be willing.

"Go and use salt water to clean the wounds on your body! Battle, you can fight!"

Wang Lun's last words gave Shi Jin a glimmer of hope, and he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Brother, if there is a day of avenging shame, don't forget me!"

Wang Lun nodded and instructed: "Please pay attention to appease the emotions of the brothers!"

"Receive the order!" Shi Jin left, and Zhu Wu was speechless and did not follow him. Compared to Li Kui, this coach Wang's method of loving the barber was indeed much higher. He basically did not suffer any serious injuries. He could just bandage it briefly, which made Zhu Wu feel much more at ease. In addition to Chen Da being shot two arrows, Yang Chun was not seriously injured, which was a blessing in disgrace.

"How is Brother Chen Da's injury?" Wang Lun asked when he saw Zhu Wu's depression.

"Fortunately, due to his exquisite armor, he was not very good at all, but his flesh was not deep. The imperial physician had seen it. Brother, please don't worry!" Zhu Wu reported.

Wang Lun nodded and ordered: "Order the personal guards and the two armies of Panshi to guard them, and the other army and horses returned to the camp to rest, Ling Zhen will be the same!"

After Wang Lun finished speaking, he held his sword in his hand and said, "The military advisor accompanied me to visit the injured brothers and see how their morale is!"

"I just came over there. Dalang's army and horses were in good spirits. The brothers were shouting to take revenge. Brother, don't worry. In my opinion, it would not be too late to get a fight!"

"Let's go, the three soldiers walk around in turn!"

Although Zhu Wu said that he was the last, Wang Lun still wanted to walk around and see the team retreating from the city wall. After all, Li Kui and Shi Jin's armies had not experienced such a heart-warming battle.

Zhu Wu nodded when he heard this. After all, Wang Lun's presence was of great significance. He immediately accompanied Wang Lun to wander back and forth among the retreating armies. Although almost everyone was injured, everyone's mental state was still good and they did not feel as depressed as Wang Lun was worried.

"Brother is here! Brother is here!"

"Brother, we are so angry! What kind of battle is this? It has completely lost my face in Liangshan!"

"Brother, you punish us! But after the punishment is over, we must go up and take revenge!"

...

Compared with the two infuriating infantry troops, the atmosphere of Shi Wengong's temporary battalion was much calmer. Although the city wall was not taken down, many soldiers of the temporary battalion believed that this was a victory. To take a step back, at least it was not a defeat. The reason is also very intuitive. Just by judging by the number of enemies killed, the defending city party definitely suffered much more losses than the siege.

Although their way of determining victory and defeat is unique, this spirit of "not believing in evil" is still desirable. Judging from their enthusiastic participation in the post-war casualties statistics (the normal process of receiving pensions), Wang Lun knew that he would not have to stay here for a long time.

"Marcedess, why is such a precious thing as salt so cheap? To be ashamed, some of us have never seen the world and have made ourselves almost cured! The young general knows that the Song Dynasty treats us like relatives, but there is no need to spend so much. It seems that the pension has been given heavy enough! Everyone doesn't forget to talk about the goodness of the Marshal!"

Li Zhishi saw that Wang Lun was in a bad mood, so he went up to flatter him while Wang Lun did not leave. There is no saying in the Song Dynasty, which is called "Wear a thousand times, but flattering a lot." As long as you leave a deep impression on Wang Lun at this time, you will have nothing to worry about in the future.

Wang Lun looked back at Li Zhishi, but said to Shi Wengong beside him: "The temporary battalion performed well today. Those who have meritorious rewards, those who have suffered punishments, and those who have injured treatments. The pensions that should be given to General Li have clearly calculated the statistics and handed over to the Military and Political Department for disposal!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" Li Zhixi fell to the ground and said weepingly: "The pseudo-official court treats us as cattle, horse and livestock. We are always angry. Only the marshal regards us as human beings, treats us diligently, and provides generous care. We are willing to be cattle and horses for the marshal!"
