Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xu Xianchun was not kept waiting for too long. The rebels under the city quickly got ready again and formed a formation in the distance.  At the front is a row of shield soldiers. Of course, they are not professional shields. There are wooden tables, wooden boards, anything that can withstand them.  Behind the shield soldiers was a row of siege soldiers, with more than a dozen people carrying long ladders.  It's just that it is not a well-made ladder like the Ming army, but a long ladder made of wood, which is not only not strong but also very heavy.  Behind these two arms, Xu Xianchun saw the elite of this so-called rebel army. Those people were all wearing armor, all of which were the Ming army's standard armor.  However, unlike the battalions behind Xu Xianchun, each battalion has a complete set of Ming army armor.  But the rebels in the city were different. Some were wearing chain armor and some had helmets on their heads. They looked very funny.  Seeing the carefully prepared rebels below, Xu Xianchun felt a sense of contempt. If the five hundred people in his city were elites, they would definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop.  But Xu Xianchun also understood that it was good enough that 300 of Inspector Liu's 500 people were capable of fighting, so let's not talk about elites.  Of the 500 people he brought out, there were only more than 100 left when they came here. He had seen their combat capabilities before.  Five hundred people were chased by less than a thousand rebels. Those who were killed were killed, and those who escaped ran away. Thinking about it made Xu Xianchun feel depressed.  Trying hard to suppress the impulse in his heart, Xu Xianchun kept telling himself in his heart that he could not go out, otherwise he would not be able to come back.  I still have a bright future, so I must not leave it here. Impulsiveness is the devil!  By the time Xu Xianchun calmed down, Inspector Liu, who had just been looking for someone, had returned. Behind him were about a hundred people, all wearing common people's clothes, but each of them had a steel knife in their hand.  Judging from the style of the knives, they are all military knives from the Ming Dynasty. They should have been issued to them by Inspector Liu.  Seeing this scene, Xu Xianchun nodded slowly. It was unrealistic to find so many people in such a short period of time.  Now that they are here, it can only mean one thing. These people were prepared by Inspector Liu a long time ago.  After taking a deep look at Inspector Liu, Xu Xianchun smiled with satisfaction. No matter what Inspector Liu prepared these people for, he had not told himself before.  This shows that Inspector Liu has his own plan, no matter what it is, as long as he has his own plan, this person has a good idea.  As long as there is a thoughtful person, Xu Xianchun thinks he can be used, what will he do if he is promoted?  As for why Inspector Liu prepared these people, Xu Xianchun would not ask. His subordinates had their own plans. As long as they were obedient and able to do things, it didn't matter much else.  Xu Xianchun doesn't care so much about the loyalty that others value. He doesn't really believe in people, and naturally he doesn't believe that anyone will be truly loyal to him.  Xu Xianchun has firmly believed that only interests can bind people together since he was a child, and they are the most reliable.  Xu Xianchun nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "Yes, let's go! Let them all go to the city wall and tell them that as long as they kill one traitor, I will reward them with one or two pieces of silver. If you kill more than ten, the reward will be doubled.  The more you get, the more I will reward you. As long as you are in the city, you will be counted as one. After the war, you can come to me to get money, go home and buy a house, buy a wife, or buy a woman. It¡¯s up to you!¡±  Xu Xianchun naturally knew the importance of boosting morale. The money had to be spent. Compared with his own future and life, it was nothing at all.  As long as you can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, no matter how much money you spend, it will be worth it. If you can't hold on until the reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to spend the money!  Soon Xu Xianchun¡¯s words spread throughout the city, and suddenly the city walls were filled with cheers, and everyone was gearing up to prepare as many as they could.  Those who had killed people in the past would quickly put the head on their side and wait for the reward to be collected after the battle.  It seemed that everything had been prepared. Liu Inspector ran over quickly, came to Xu Xianchun's side panting, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, do you want to go down and rest? Just leave this place to the humble position!"  "Looking at Inspector Liu, Xu Xianchun frowned and asked, "Inspector Liu, where can I find money in the city? I want the money in the big box." "Sir, I have it here. It's this month's salary.  The humble job hasn't been done yet, but it's not much, and it can't be packed in a big box, but it's just a dozen silver ingots. "Although I don't know what Xu Xianchun wants to do, I don't have much to worry about at this time. If I insist, I can't.  By the time the reinforcements arrive, they will have no money and no life to spend.  He waved to Inspector Liu, and when Inspector Liu came closer, Xu Xianchun said in a low voice: "You have to ask someone to bring a big box containing silver, with wooden blocks underneath and silver ingots on top.  It looks like it's a box of silver ingots. " "Yes, I'll do it now!" After giving Xu Xianchun a bow, Inspector Liu quickly left with a few of his confidants.  It didn¡¯t take long before the group came back, followed by?A carriage with a large box on it.  The commander found a high ground in the open space inside the city gate, placed tables, chairs and benches there, served good tea, and Xu Xianchun sat there steadily to drink tea.  In front of Xu Xianchun was the big box. He smiled and nodded to the circle of Jinyi guards surrounding him, and then someone stepped forward and opened the box.  Suddenly the silver light shimmered, and the silver ingot dazzled people's eyes in the sunlight.  Walking to the edge of the box, Xu Xianchun picked up two silver ingots and said loudly to the people in the city: "Kill is a traitor. Take home the two gold ingots and twenty taels of silver. I have my word, as long as you persist  When the reinforcements arrive, I will give you a big reward." Seeing the eyes of all the people on the city wall glowing, Xu Xianchun breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Liu's inspector had done a good job and did not want to kill Cai Cai.  of.  Xu Xianchun was also gambling. In short, he had to put life and death aside at this time. Xu Xianchun's show hadn't been finished yet, and there were already shouts of death outside.  But the goal has been achieved, so that's fine. If there is a delay, I'm afraid someone will really have second thoughts.  The battle to siege the city began again. In fact, such a battle was very monotonous. The people under the city struggled to rush upward.  Set up a ladder and climb up against the wooden board. If one falls, the next one will catch up.  The attacking party will not be considered victorious until someone rushes forward and can gain a foothold on the city wall.  The defenders of the city are trying their best to prevent such a thing from happening. As long as they can prevent people from climbing up, they can do anything.  However, there are not many things to defend the city here. Apart from stones and boiling water, there are almost no other things. However, there is also a weapon of mass destruction of this era, which is the rolling log.  This large piece of wood with ropes at both ends and iron nails wrapped on top weighs at least three to five hundred kilograms.  In this kind of siege battle, the power cannot be underestimated.  Although the power of this rolling log is not small, there are too few of them. This is the only one in the whole city.  This was applied for by the previous inspector in the name of preventing Japanese pirates, otherwise I'm afraid there wouldn't be such a thing.  The battle became more and more intense. One side attacked fiercely, while the other side defended desperately. At the beginning, the Ming army on the city suffered no casualties.  But about an hour later, rebels rushed to the city from time to time. I don't know why this rebel army stormed here as if they didn't care about their lives.  At this time, the Ming army began to suffer casualties, and people were lifted down from above from time to time.  Seeing this scene, Xu Xianchun's heart kept sinking. If this continues, Xu Xianchun believes that it won't be long before this place will be occupied by rebels.  Frowning tightly, Xu Xianchun kept thinking about a solution in his heart, why haven't the reinforcements come yet?  At this time, Inspector Liu, who was covered in blood, ran down and came to Xu Xianchun's side. He said urgently: "Sir, I really can't stand it any longer! The traitors only attack from this side. Your Excellency, you still need to take them with you.  Let's go, everyone! My humble duty is to serve as an inspector here, and I should die here to serve His Majesty. You must keep yourself useful and show your merits to the Emperor in the future." Liu Xun looked at him who was covered in blood.  After checking, Xu Xianchun's eyebrows suddenly frowned, he pulled out the embroidered spring knife from his waist, stretched out his hand to greet several Jinyi guards, and said loudly: "You guys come up to the city with me, the rest of you stay and look at the money!"  Xu Xianchun was about to go up to the city. Inspector Liu quickly stopped Xu Xianchun, knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Your Excellency, you have been kind to me. Please leave as soon as possible! I can just stay here and defend you. You don't have to do this. Your Excellency."  We must keep our useful body. After we die in battle, we still need adults to show our merits, otherwise we may not even get the pension." Inspector Liu knelt on the ground and Xu Xianchun said solemnly: "  If I want to leave at this time, I will be a beast! If you are a man, come and kill me! If I die, someone will pay me the pension." He waved to the people behind him and shouted loudly.  Said: "Follow me!" Xu Xianchun knew in his heart that if he left at this time, he would have no face to see anyone, whether he was alive or dead.  But if you stay, you will be worthy of no one, no matter life or death.  He will leave a glorious mark in history and bring countless benefits to the family.  After leading people to rush to the city wall bricks, Xu Xianchun found that it was really over. There were rebels everywhere on the city wall, and fighting was everywhere.  After slashing down two people with a knife, Xu Xianchun also understood that he was just going to kill one to make up for his profit, and make two fools to earn another.  ?Chopping left and right, blocking and attacking, Xu Xianchun suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and he struck back without even looking.  After killing the person who attacked him, Xu Xianchun looked down and saw a knife stuck in his waist. Xu Xianchun smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was indeed not a fighting material.  He touched his own blood, which was warm. He put it to his mouth and licked it. It turned out that his own blood was also fishy and not sweet at all.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
