Xin Sizhong, who was hiding in the marching phalanx, looked at Zhang Ermeng's clumsy command and couldn't help but sneer secretly.Such an army that is brave and unscrupulous, and who is chaotic when it encounters an accident, dares to confront the army of King Chuang, which is really unbelievable.In his eyes, Zhang Ermeng's every response is very funny.When Lu Wenbin launched the Hongyi cannon, since he understood the other party's intentions, he should know that it is impossible for you to destroy the magic weapon used to win, and he will definitely be ready to deal with your destruction.In vain, so many soldiers were killed and injured by the other party, and after retreating without achieving the goal, the morale was already weak, how could he rely on this moraleless soldier to defend the city, not to mention, the disparity between the forces of the two sides was so dramatic.Didn't take advantage of the fact that the other party did not encircle and abandon the city and fled, but ran into the city to defend the city, isn't this tantamount to killing himself When Lu Wenbin ordered the soldiers to attack the city, Xin Sizhong stopped him and said: "The turtle in the urn, why bother to wound the soldiers and only attack the city gate with cannons, I want to see if this loess can withstand a few cannons." ”Lu Wenbin didn't dare to disobey, and other people's methods were indeed much stronger than hard attacks.He immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for entering the city, moved the artillery in front of the city gate, and opened artillery to bombard the city gate.Then he asked Xin Sizhong: "Do you want to send troops to surround the city to prevent the enemy from abandoning the city and fleeing" Xin Sizhong thought for a while and said: "No need.What I want is for him to abandon the city and flee" The fire flickered in front of the Hongyi cannon, and then a puff of smoke rose up, and the lead pellet the size of the ball roared straight towards the city gate.There was a "bang", the lead shot smashed on the city gate, the sawdust flew, and the deafening Zhang Ermeng stood on the city wall, feeling the tremor of the city wall.He knew that it wouldn't take long for the gates to be blasted open by cannons.He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to fill the earth in straw bags and pile them in the hole in the city gate.As soon as the straw bags filled half of the city gate hole, the city gate was bombarded by the Hongyi cannon, and the Shun army rushed to the city gate.Zhang Ermeng had to transfer a thousand soldiers from the city wall, personally sit in the town, and guard the gap in the city gate.The city gate was narrow, and both the Shun army and the new army were crowded there.One party wanted to rush into the city, braving the stones and flowering bullets falling from the city, desperately charging, and desperately dragging straw bags filled with loess.The other side kept filling the hole in the city gate with straw bags, and at the same time slashed and slashed the Shun troops who rushed in.Near the east gate of Zhangxian County, with the sound of explosions and screams of the injured from time to time, thick smoke billowed and dead bodies piled up.Because Lu Wenbin gave a death order, Shun Bing retreated to the latter and beheaded, fighting to the death; Under the personal command of Zhang Ermeng, the new army desperately guarded the city gate and refused to let a single step.This life-and-death struggle at the city gate lasted from morning to dusk, and no one could help anyone.Zhang Ermeng was holding a Pu knife, and he was covered in blood, and he was exhausted at this time.He thought, hold on a little longer, and when it gets dark, the Shun army will withdraw and rest.At that time, he could let the soldiers fill the hole in the city gate with straw bags, so that he would not be afraid that the Shun army would attack this place again.At this moment, the northeast corner of the city resounded with the sound of fighting.When Lu Wenbin ordered his soldiers to attack the east gate desperately, he saw that the other party's attention was completely attracted to the vicinity of the city gate, so he secretly prepared a group of men and horses, and took advantage of the unclear light at dusk to secretly approach the northeast corner of the city where the defense was lax and touched the city wall.It wasn't until the enemy army quietly set up a ladder and attacked the city that the new army found out.A thousand commanders immediately shouted for their soldiers and killed them in the direction of the enemy's arrival in the city.Zhang Ermeng heard the sound of fighting, hurriedly handed over the defense of the city gate to the deputy general, and ran towards the city.The thousand commanders repelled the enemy troops attacking the city in the northeast corner, but neglected the place where he had been defending, and the enemy came to the city from there, and the city walls became a chaotic place.Zhang Ermeng led people to kill and disperse the Shun troops who attacked the city around him, and shouted: "Don't panic, listen to my orders, do your own thing, don't let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes" The generals suddenly woke up, and shouted their soldiers again and again, so as to stop the chaotic situation.But the Shun soldiers had taken advantage of the temporary confusion and climbed the walls in large numbers.The battle at the head of the city became more and more fierce, and the entire eastern city wall was full of battles, and flesh and blood were flying.The new troops guarding elsewhere were afraid to leave their defensive positions to help, and the enemy would take the opportunity to attack from the places they were defending, and they would not dare to move lightly without orders, so they could only watch the battle not far away, and there was nothing they could do in a hurry.When a sixteen or seventeen-year-old recruit saw this tragic scene for the first time, he was so frightened that he squatted in the corner, holding his head in his hands and crying bitterly.A veteran ran past him, lifted him up and shouted, "We have few men, you don't kill the enemy, what can you do here" The recruit still cried incessantly, tears and snot on his face, and trembling all over.The veteran saw that the other party was a recruit who had just enlisted, softened his tone, picked up the spear that the recruit had thrown on the ground and stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, follow me."
If we don't kill these brutes, we won't have a good life" The recruit took the spear, but his feet were still shaking, and he couldn't stand steadily.The veteran said anxiously: "Baby, since we are here, we have to fight, if you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you, there are no ghosts in our army who are afraid of death, you don't kill the enemy, if people spread the news that you are afraid of fighting and dying to your village, how do you let your parents raise their heads in front of the neighbors" Liang Min basically learned Wang Shuo's method at home.In addition to vigorously publicizing the benefits of the conscription decree in the forts, whoever has made meritorious contributions in the army will beat gongs and drums to let the whole village know, and hang a sign of "Home of Meritorious" in front of the door, and the family is proud.If someone's child becomes a deserter or is greedy for life and afraid of death, then the family will not be able to live.Others look down on them and don't say anything, they can't raise their heads, they don't educate their children well, where they have the face to see people, everyone in the fortress encourages their children in the army, to strive for meritorious service, don't embarrass their families.When the veteran mentioned this, the recruit finally mustered up a little courage, gritted his teeth and followed the veteran to the place where the Shun soldiers had attacked the city.The veteran soldier fought with the shun soldiers in front, and the new soldier followed behind with a spear in his hand, trembling, and a little at a loss.After a little time, the recruit finally mustered up all his courage and stabbed a spear into the chest of a Shun soldier who was held by a veteran with a long knife, although he did not have much strength, and only pierced the opponent's epidermis, but the Shun soldier was taken aback.The veteran took the opportunity to return the knife and hack Shun to death, turned around and grinned at the recruit: "Good job, baby" The veteran's face was dust except sweat, and only the exposed teeth were white.The recruits were encouraged and happy, and when they saw that the veteran's appearance was quite funny, they smiled shyly at the veteran.The two of them didn't bother to say much, and rejoined the battle group.Gradually, the recruits were shocked by the fierceness of the fight, which inspired the ruthlessness in their bodies, and they were no longer afraid, and became as fierce as the veterans.The two of them fought side by side and cooperated tacitly.After all, the recruit was inexperienced, and a soldier on the side shook a spear at him, and he swept the spear horizontally, but it was empty.Shun Bing took advantage of the wide open door of his chest and stabbed straight with his spear.Seeing that the spear was about to pierce the recruit's chest, the veteran strode sideways and kicked the soldier over, saving the recruit's life.The recruit glanced at the veteran gratefully, and was about to speak, but a steel spear appeared from the veteran's chest, and the expression on the veteran's face froze instantly.It turned out that the veteran was only concerned with saving the new soldiers, forgetting the obedient soldiers who fought against him, and exposing his back to the enemy.The recruit cried, went crazy and ran away from the Shunbing, dragged the veteran to the corner, and shouted at the veteran: "Uncle, why are you talking" The veteran barely opened his eyes and saw that the recruit was the same as himself, his face was gray and black, but snot and tears flowed from his face again.The veteran laughed and said, "Wamo is crying, there will always be dead people in war."
If he dies, the general will take care of his wife and children, and he is not afraid of death. ”He closed his eyes as he spoke.The recruit's eyes were blood-red, and he slowly put down the veteran, lifted his spear, and rushed towards the Shun soldier like crazy again
