Rebirth of the First Emperor

"Beat the drums and march."

At dawn the next day, a thousand Tianshijiao Huxiang formations were completed, and the big flag with the word "Li" was flying. All of these thousand people were infantry, with only three or two generals on horseback.

The four or five guards behind him were the rebel vanguard generals.

"Dong, dong, dong," the drums began to sound. Four drummers beat the giant drum slowly. One thousand infantry, two hundred spearmen, five hundred sword soldiers, two hundred sword and shield soldiers, and one hundred sword soldiers were divided into batches.

Moving forward, marching in an orderly manner, like a powerful force.

The twenty ladders at the front are all the siege equipment.

"In this formation, we have calculated a group of cavalry in my city, with two hundred spearmen in front, and want to restrain my cavalry. It seems that this big man with a beard is not careless!"

Upstairs at the city gate, Chen Shu watched the rebels arraying and sighed with emotion. A trace of worry flashed across his brows. The actions of the rebels showed that they had a very detailed understanding of Huxiang before and knew themselves and the enemy. It was completely reasonable.

Come prepared!

This battle is difficult.

"Listen to the officers and soldiers in the city. I am the guardian general of Taihe County under the guidance of Tianshi. My commander Qu will arrive soon with his army. If you are wise enough to open the door obediently, please open the door and dedicate it to the city. Otherwise, on the day the city is broken, the army will massacre the city for three days and nothing will be left."

Don’t stay.”

The bearded man rode out of the battle and shouted loudly to the city gate tower.

Upstairs of the city gate, a cold wind blew, and the flags were waving, but no one was disturbed by the words of the Qiu-bearded guest. It was obvious that they just ignored the words of the Qiu-bearded guest and could not hear them at all.

"The clown in the city, tell me your name. Ying Zheng is here, why don't you quickly put on a good show?"

Ying Zheng looked down at the bearded man and spoke sharply. With these words, the bearded man had no intention of continuing and anger filled his chest. A diamond hammer weighing forty or fifty kilograms pointed at Ying Zheng and shouted: "Ying Zheng

My dear, do you dare to fight with me?"

"Do you dare to fight?"

The army of a thousand Heavenly Masters behind him saw that the general was furious, and immediately echoed his voice, making a loud noise that shook the sky.

Ying Zheng drew out his long sword, pointed it at the bearded guest, and shouted, not to be outdone, "Please tell me your name, the clown in the city. Ying Zheng is here, why don't you quickly put on a good show for my brother to watch?"

"Haha, act quickly."

The city guards on the city also came in uniform and said this sentence. Although the number was not as large as that of Tianshijiao, the momentum was still huge.

"Siege the city, attack the city."

The bearded guest jumped to his feet and shouted. This was the first time he had been humiliated. Especially since the Tianshijiao uprising, he had been invincible in attacking cities and plundering villages. His status in Taihe County was second only to Qu Shuai.

People who are like generals and guardians are very popular in Taihe County.

The bearded man gave the order and the army moved forward. The sword and shield soldiers crossed all the arms and lined up at the front to protect the ladder.

Looking down from the five-foot high wall, a thousand people charged, the formation was slightly loose, and at first glance, they looked like ants.

"The archers are ready to shoot on their own after entering the shooting range. The pikemen are at the front. We will not use the defense equipment for the time being. There are only a thousand people. They are just killing chickens to practice their skills."

Ying Zheng's loud orders and his hesitant tone made his city guards full of confidence. They all responded with a "yes" and then each performed their duties, waiting for the arrival of the Tianshi Sect rebels who were slowly advancing.

Entering the seventy-step shooting range, a hundred archers fired on their own. The arrows were loose but accurate. In the first shot, dozens of Tianshi Sect rebels were injured, varying in severity.

"Very good, keep shooting. No need to be nervous. Just treat this as a training session. The county is here to watch. Those who perform well will be promoted and make a fortune. Those who perform poorly will work hard next time."

Ying Zheng could see clearly from the city wall. Regarding the Thousand Heavenly Masters, Ying Zheng seemed to be nothing more than a local chicken and a dog. Within the range of a seventy-step archer, his combat effectiveness could be reduced by 20%. He laughed.

, Ying Zheng continued to boost morale.

Getting promoted and getting rich is a soldier's dream. With this promise, the morale of the city guards rose to a higher level again.

Although there are only 300 defenders on the east side, even 2,000 soldiers may not be able to attack. In a siege, at least ten times more troops than the defenders will be needed to break through the city.

Furthermore, the east wall of Huxiang is so wide that twenty ladders are already the limit. More than three hundred people guarding twenty places is more than enough. After paying the price of hundreds of injuries and more than ten deaths, the sky

The teachers and rebels finally put the ladder on the city wall of Huxiang.

Until this time, the siege battle will really begin. The city wall will be the tomb of the long tug-of-war and the deathbed for the soldiers of both sides.

The ladder was placed on the city wall, and the Tianshi Sect rebels began to climb up. Only halfway, they were overthrown by the city guards who held the top of the ladder with long spears. The Tianshi Sect rebels above had to jump off the ladder and raised it again.

Ladder.

Repeating the same action, during this gap, the one hundred archers who were ordered by Ying Zheng to shoot freely took the limelight. Although the power of the bows and arrows shot at close range was somewhat compromised, the accuracy was still there, and only one shot struck.

Then dozens of Tianshi Sect rebels were hit hard again.

"Asshole, help him steady, I will come in person."

Seeing the performance of his men, the bearded man was furious and very dissatisfied. He personally ordered the sergeant to hold the ladder and climb up with a diamond hammer in hand.

Halfway up the climb, the city guards saw that the enemy guard was personally going into battle. They immediately used their spears as if they were facing a powerful enemy and planned to repeat the trick to overturn the ladder again. However, the bearded man pressed his body tightly against the ladder, and added

Dozens of Tianshi Sect rebels below used all their strength to hold down the ladder, but the city guard's plan was unsuccessful this time.

The bearded man laughed and looked at the city guards on the city wall. He waved his diamond hammer and continued to climb up. His face was ferocious. He was wondering if he would smash the heads of several officers and soldiers with a hammer as a demonstration.

, how about boosting morale by the way?

"Throw rolling stones, smash them hard, and cut off the ladder with swords."

Ying Zheng had been paying attention to every move of the Qiu-bearded guest. Now the Qiu-bearded guest went into battle in person, and Ying Zheng immediately gave orders.

Ying Zheng is the spiritual support in the hearts of the Huxiang city guards. As long as Ying Zheng speaks, the hearts of the city guards will immediately feel at ease. Ten city guards are arranged at each cloud ladder crenel, and Ying Zheng issues this order

, two people immediately lifted a huge piece of

The big rolling stone was raised high and hurled straight at the bearded man. Then two spearmen stabbed at the bottom of the ladder with their spears. The purpose was not to hit the bearded man, but to stop the enemy before the stone fell.

, to ensure that your brothers will not be harmed by the bearded guests.

With such cooperation, the bearded guest did not dare to rush in carelessly. Seeing the rolling stone rolling down, he had to jump down on the ladder. "Go away quickly, the rolling stone is coming down."

While dancing, the bearded guest shouted. Although the voice was loud, the time was obviously short.

"Boom, boom,"

"Bang,"

The rolling stones fell, injuring several Tianshi Sect rebels. The bearded man fell to the ground, his hair crown fell off, and he was in a miserable state.
