Chapter fifty-five fierce competition

The supervisory team composed of the private gentry quickly squeezed forward, and needed to say that they were thrusting back, even if anyone was timid, they would have a knife in the head! In Xu Daofu's eyes, the total number of private gentry was only more than 2,000. They had a basis for advance and retreat, were strict discipline, and were all strong, accounting for nearly 90%. The main force, mainly bandits, threatening the people and county soldiers, was the abandoned son who could be thrown away.

Amidst sporadic screams, dozens of heads soared into the sky. The iron-blooded method of the supervision team really worked. The thief army had no choice but to boost morale and continue to move forward. They were worried and cautious along the way, and sometimes stepped on their companions' bodies. But what made them secretly relieved was that the caltrops were thrown for only one round and they were no longer visible. Finally, at the cost of hundreds of corpses, they rushed to the city again in the rain of arrows!

There is no way. Yangxian is a small town. Before Wei Feng defected, there were only more than 3,000 households in Dingkou, and there were only about ten blacksmiths among the craftsmen. Wei Feng rushed and rushed forwarded it. It took several months to create more than 5,000 caltrops, and they had just finished all of them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Flying ladders finally set up on the top of the city, and the sound of the city walls being dulled and the loud sound of the siege wood hitting the city gate. Jiang Xuan did not care about the attack under the city. The city wall was a solid and rammed earth structure, so how could it be so easy to hammer it? In addition to strengthening the roof support with blue stones, the city gate was also equipped with a door-sticking knife chariot, which was almost as wide as the city gate. There were three or four wooden frames in front of the car, and several sharp knives were fixed on each floor. The body of the car had a long shaft. Once the enemy broke through the city gate, the soldiers would push the knife chariot to block the city gate, which could not only kill the enemy, but also block the enemy's arrows and stones, making it difficult for the opponent to climb, forming a barrier to activity.

Jiang Xuan turned his head and shouted: "Fork rod, go!"

The fork rod is three meters long and is tied together with several thick old bamboos as the main trunk. It is strong and tough, with forked heads. It is a city guarding tool specially used for forking ladders.

The soldiers who were prepared, braved the arrows that were shooting upwards, and several of them rushed up together with a fork lever! They saw a sudden shock at the top of the ladder, accompanied by a scream of fear!

"Quick, hurry, the people below hold back! Come on a few more people!"

"Hurry up and climb up quickly, damn, shoot the arrow quickly! Why are you standing there?"

The stairs were forked away from the city and hung in the air. The bandits on the ladders hugged them tightly and did not dare to let go. Some people were shot to death by arrows on the spot. The stairs moved forward and backward for a while, which was thrilling. The soldiers on the city and under the city fought with the stairs and fork poles as medium, but the defenders on the city suffered a loss after all. Except for the limited number of stairs, the limited number of stairs were turned over, and accompanied by the loud bang, the remaining dozens of stairs were re-mounted on the city!

"Kill~~brothers, rush!" This greatly boosted the morale of the bandits, as if they had seized Yangxian in a moment!

Jiang Xuan waved his hand back again: "It's all for me!"

For a moment, the rolling stones, wood, boiling oil, and arrows were mixed with money and threw them into the city. The crackling sound of breaking was intertwined from the screams of falling from high altitude, and the terrifying howls of death were about to die!

Ladders were broken one after another, and the archers under the city also shot upwards with force. Not only were the deaths of bandits, but the casualties of the defenders on the city also suddenly increased, and the battle situation had entered a white-hot heat!

Watching the soldiers who climbed upwards and fell like dumplings, a cold harsh flashed in Xu Daofu's eyes. He understood that the competition was ruthless at this time, whoever was ruthless would be able to persevere until the end!

However, when it comes to being ruthless, he was not worried at all. He could afford to pay even the price of 10,000 people. He could save some food in the army. Although the tenacity of the defenders was unexpected, the number of people was there, and one less death was the case. How could he fight for his own life?

Around him, there were all the heads of the rebel gentry or county soldiers. Even though they had lived for most of their lives, such a tragic scene was the first time that everyone was so nervous that they didn't even dare to see through the atmosphere!

"Boom!" At this moment, a shocking sound came. The two wooden boards at the city gate suddenly slapped inward. In the dust, stones, debris, and bricks fell all over the ground. Some people could not stop the castration and plunged in and were immediately buried in the pile of rocks!

"General, look, the city has finally broken!" A general couldn't help but screamed loudly.

Not only him, everyone's face was filled with joy for a moment, "Okay!" Xu Daofu also shouted ok, with a snap, and a heavy blow with his palms!

"Ah!" Looking into the building, Chu Lingyuan couldn't help but let out a second scream. The violent vibration caused by the city gate was broken made her stand unsteadily. She threw herself into Mrs. Chu's arms, her delicate body shivering. Mrs. Chu's face was as dark as the face was at a loss.

Generally speaking, the city gate is broken, which also means the city falls. Everyone scolded Wei Feng in their hearts. Didn’t he believing that two thousand people could defend the city? But now? He has done that, he has oiled his feet and climbed up the branches, leaving the people in Yangxian to die!

Chu Yanzhi also screamed: "Father, let's run quickly while the bandits have not entered the city yet. Let's go from the west gate and maybe we can run back to Jiankang!"

Everyone turned their expectant eyes to Chu Shuang. They were thinking the same, but Chu Shuang trembled violently, and her face suddenly showed a sense of perseverance, and she shouted: "I have made a vow to die with the city, how can I leave? Today is nothing more than to die for the city, and no one can leave!"

Everyone's faces were all bitter. Someone was waiting to persuade him again. Chu Shuang called again: "General Wei had many arrangements. The city gate was broken. Maybe he still had the power to turn the world back. Let's take a look first. Retreat at this time will shake the morale of the army. You must not take a step back unless you have to!" As he said that, he took a few breaths of breath, as if he was making a difficult choice, and then waved his hand: "As the head of a county, he should beat drums and cheer for the soldiers! Let's go with his husband!"

Chu Shuang swung her sleeves and walked towards the stairs. The top floor of the building was the rooftop, with a cowhide drum on it. The others could only grit their teeth and follow Chu Shuang.

Chu Shuang was right. As soon as the city gate was broken, the smoke and dust had not yet dissipated, the door-sticking knife chariot had been pushed in. Dozens of bandit soldiers who wanted to steal the title were stabbed by the bright sharp knife on the spot. The guard then used the sword chariot as a cover and climbed up to shoot arrows outside. The bandit soldiers could not enter half a step!

Although the city gate is right in front of you, you can have Chu Lingyuan and generous rewards when you rush in, but the door-stopping knife and chariot is like a natural chasm. No one can take a step except leaving a mountain of corpses at the city gate!

Although Xu Daofu was anxious to see from behind, he couldn't imagine that this big guy was completely beyond his expectations. Even if the most elite private army of aristocratic clans were sent up, he might not be able to break through. The key is that both sides were simple in equipment, and a huge monster suddenly appeared, caught off guard!

Retreat to build equipment not only means that these thousands of people will die in vain, but will also affect the morale of the entire army. What made him even more worried was that it took a long time to build equipment, and it was probably not yet ready. The reinforcements from the court had arrived. After all, they underestimated the enemy and easily took down Wucheng. But who would have expected that Yangxian, which was smaller than Wucheng, would be even more difficult to chew!

"It's so fucking heart!" Xu Daofu cursed hatefully, turned around and shouted: "Send the order, there is no need to attack the city gate, the whole army will try its best to climb to the top of the city!"

"As for order!" A servant bowed and left.

After taking two steps, the sound of drums suddenly came from the city. Xu Daofu looked up and saw Chu Shuang put up her sleeves, holding a stick and hitting the cowhide drum hard. With the rhythmic drum beats, the attack on her side seemed not as fierce as before, but the momentum of the defenders seemed to have been raised!

"Damn it, let's beat the drum, right? Well, let's see who beat it!" Xu Daofu turned around and left, ran to the drum in his army, whispered a stick and beat it hard!

The sound of drums on both sides was shocking the sky, and the soldiers on both sides were also red in their eyes. Standing on the rooftop and hiding in the building had completely different sensory effects. As the saying goes, everything will turn back, and fear will turn into motivation when it reaches its limit. Seeing the soldiers fighting hard, even Chu Lingyuan was no longer afraid. She clenched her fists tightly, and her face turned red. She never thought she would have such great courage. She believed that if Wei Feng dared to be unclean, she would kick the man's crotch without hesitation. Let's talk about it if it was useless!

Chu Lingyuan was full of fighting spirit, and even more excited about the others, wishing to rush down to fight the enemy with swords and guns. Fortunately, the remaining reason reminded them that they had no strength in their hands and were not familiar with the cooperation of the military formation, so they were just going to die.

"No! The bandit army is coming to the city!" Chu Yuzhi, the third elder of the Chu family, suddenly exclaimed, his voice filled with fear. He saw a bandit leaping up and wielding his weapons into the defenders. As the words fell, people jumped up all over the city, and nearly a hundred people had already risen up!

After all, watching the battle is different from visiting the battle formation in person. The audience's surging blood quickly cooled down, and fear gained the upper hand again. Jiang Xuan hurriedly shouted: "The Lord of the Mansion is in a hurry, it's just right. Let's see how the brothers break the enemy! Arrange the array!"

The Mandarin duck formation is most suitable for environments with chaos and limited terrain. The narrow space at the top of the city just happened to be suitable for the expansion of the Mandarin duck formation. The defenders immediately formed dozens of mandarin duck formations to defeat the enemy. The wolf lion stretched forward and stuck the enemy. The spearman followed with a spear and stabbed it hard! Then he clamped the cold arrows and the bandits climbing to the city could not organize effective attacks at all. Some people even stood on the battlement and were shot at the gate with an arrow and fell staggeringly to the city.

This made Chu Shuang and others breathe a sigh of relief again. Mrs. Chu couldn't help but praise: "This must be the military formation handed down by General Wei. It seems to be loose and unformed, but unexpectedly it has such a miracle effect. General Wei is indeed a genius!"

Chu Lingyuan was immediately dissatisfied and said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, it's not necessarily him. It seems that you praise him as if you can do anything. Is he a saint Linfan?"

Mrs. Chu also had a pretty face and said unhappily: "Who else can be there besides General Wei? I, the Jin Dynasty, have such a battle formation ever appeared in all dynasties? General Wei likes you, it is your blessing, and it is also the blessing of our Chu family. After a while, you have to read "Biographies of Women" and "Precepts of Women" thoroughly and memorize it as if you were to check it out. My mother should check it. It is time to change your bad temper!"
