Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Three hundred of Guo Wei's carefully selected confidants, together with Guo Wei, died on the edge of the North City Gate.  And until the entire army was destroyed, they only consumed less than 2,000 arrows from Cao's army, and did not cause any loss of strength to Cao's army.

    Zhou Dao loudly ordered: "Cut off Guo Wei's head and spread the message throughout the city to warn those with evil intentions. In addition, Guo Wei has sorted out these young men for us, and the remaining ones can be trusted. Xu  Lie, you bring a hundred men to mix with them, and each regular soldier brings five young men. At least let those young men learn to avoid bows and arrows"

    Zhou Dao was giving orders when suddenly the watchman on the tower shouted: "Sir, there is an enemy attack!"

    Everyone was shocked, what happened?  Could it be said that General Xu Rong has been defeated and the Yujunshan Pass has been lost?  But so far, no defeated troops have been found in the north!  What exactly is going on?

    Zhou Dao and others quickly ran to the north side of the tower, concentrated their attention, and looked outside, they saw a troop approaching quickly in the distance.

    Zhou Dao couldn't help but be shocked when he saw their marching posture. The troops on the opposite side were fast but not chaotic, and made no noise. They must be elite troops.  He shouted loudly: "Blow the war drums, the whole army goes to the city! Xu Lie, quickly take your people to lead the young men, the rest are waiting here."

    After hearing his order, the drummer immediately beat the war drum, bang bang bang

    At this time, there were only 200 soldiers at the north gate. Zhou Dao shouted: "Who are you? If you dare to invade Qinshui City, you will die!"

    Hearing his fierce shouts, Guo Daxian laughed. He put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly: "I am the vanguard of the Montenegrin Army, and I am here to persuade you to surrender! As long as you surrender in time, our army will forget the blame. If there is resistance, chickens will be killed."  Dogs don¡¯t stay!¡±

    Zhou Dao shouted loudly: "You are a small vanguard who dares to covet our Qinshui City. Don't risk your life! Seeing that you haven't caused any damage yet, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, my army will attack you from both sides and will annihilate you all in one fell swoop."  !¡±

    Guo Daxian shook his head and shouted loudly: "Your county magistrate Xu Rong has been surrounded by my army and is about to be destroyed. Those who know the current situation and surrender quickly can still save their official lives. Otherwise, after my army breaks the city, all those who resist will be punished."  Conquer the family and exterminate the clan!"

    While Guo Daxian and Zhou Dao were bickering, seven hundred Montenegrin Army soldiers cut down trees nearby to build a long ladder for siege.  Cao Jun was not idle either. More and more soldiers rushed to the north gate. Soon, Xu Lie also arrived here with his young men.

    At this time, there were already 500 soldiers near the north gate, plus 500 young men, and the remaining gates were handed over to the Yamen guards.  Seeing that he had the numerical advantage, Zhou Dao felt relieved and said with a smile: "The enemy is too stupid to waste such precious time on building siege equipment. It is really stupid!"

    Everyone cheered and mocked the enemy general on the opposite side.  At this moment, the enemy general on the opposite side raised his right hand and waved forward, and the soldiers rushed towards the city wall carrying the long green ladder.  These soldiers were focused on charging without even shouting a word, which shocked Zhou Dao.  Feeling the murderous aura brought by this silence, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

    Hearing his order, most of the soldiers who were archers subconsciously started shooting - but the enemy had not yet entered the shooting range of the defenders, and all the arrows fell to the ground after exhaustion!

    Zhou Dao was secretly shocked: What happened to him? Why was he so uncontrollable?  !  He hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, hold on, don't panic, the enemy only has so many people, they are no match for us! Hold on, hold on!"

    After hearing his order, the soldiers calmed down and looked at him stupidly.  But the enemy troops under the city were not idle and rushed forward quickly.

    Zhou Dao looked at the enemy soldiers approaching rapidly below the city, and then at the Cao Jun soldiers who were standing dumbly on the city. He was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood. He roared angrily: "Shoot quickly! Shoot quickly!"

    The soldiers woke up from a dream and quickly took aim with their bows and arrows. However, while they were stunned, the Black Mountain Army soldiers below the city had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall and were rushing up with the ladders.

    Zhou Dao spat out a mouthful of blood and roared angrily: "Shoot! Shoot!"

    However, the first batch of arrow rain did not come from the defenders on the city, but from the archers in the hands of Guo Daxian!  As the saying goes, there are only three arrows left in the battle. Just when the defenders were stunned, the officers and soldiers of the Montenegrin Army had already shot three arrows in succession!

    Although the Black Mountain Army only had 300 archers, the 300 archers were enough to suppress Cao's army's temporary archers.  After three arrows, even Zhou Dao had an arrow stuck in his shoulder, not to mention those young civilians who were participating in the battle for the first time.

    They shouted loudly and screamed in horror, especially when the familiar figures around them turned into lifeless corpses, which made themThey lose self-control.  Except for more than a hundred young men who still remained calm under the pressure of the nearby veterans, the remaining young men all broke into nests and ran aimlessly around the city wall until they were shot to the ground one by one by Guo Daxian's archers!  Until the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army climbed onto the city wall, not a single arrow was fired from the top of Qinshui City!

    Guo Daxian was very happy and said to Guo Gang on the side: "Elite soldiers are still very powerful. They can not only suppress the opponent's bows and arrows, but also quickly scale the enemy's city wall. It's a pity that there are no more than 400 such elite soldiers in my Five Thousand Steps.  Otherwise, the whole world will be ruined!"

    Guo Gang bowed to him and said: "Commander, don't worry, after this battle, we have captured a lot of people, these 800 elite soldiers will definitely recognize the commander as their master!"

    Guo Daxian laughed loudly: In his opinion, Qinshui City can be taken down as long as the city wall is attacked!  Thinking about the gentry and merchants in Qinshui City, and the military land south of Qinshui, Guo Daxian's mouth is watering!  As long as you make money widely, you won't have to worry about losing your military morale!

    At this time, Zhou Dao shouted loudly: "We are ordered to guard the county, how can we abandon the county? The opponent only has a few hundred people, and our number is not less than them! If you kill one person, I will reward him with hardware.  !¡±

    Hearing the reward he offered, many soldiers rubbed their ears in disbelief: How much?  Did I hear it wrong!

    Seeing everyone's surprise, Zhou Dao shouted loudly: "Kill one person and get five gold coins!"

    Hearing his cry, Cao Jun¡¯s morale suddenly changed!  The people in front of them are no longer thieves of the Montenegrin Army, but heaps of money that can run away!  As long as you kill one of the other party's people, you can wallow in the gentle land for half a month; as long as you kill one of the other party's people, you can eat meat and drink freely for a month; as long as you kill one of the other party's people!

    A cry from the depths of his throat and from the bottom of his heart resounded throughout the city: "Kill thieves in exchange for money!"

    Guo Daxian's eyes widened. He looked at the city in disbelief as his own side was retreating steadily. He rubbed his eyes hard, but the scene in front of him still did not change!  How can it be?  !  What he invested were elite soldiers!

    Guo Daxian shouted decisively: "Kill one person and get ten gold!"

    "Anyway, as long as you capture Qinshui, you can seize a large amount of money from the government's warehouse, and then squeeze the wealthy households in the city. What does this little money mean!"

    Listening to the rewards promised by the commanders of both sides, the soldiers chopped back and forth like crazy, and Xu Lie also led the strong men into the battle, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

    At this moment, a sharp beep suddenly came from the west gate, cutting through the clouds and straight into the sky!

    Guo Daxian was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "The enemy has fallen into my trap of attacking from the east and attacking from the west. The west gate has been breached! You guys, kill me!"

    Guo Gang and others quickly repeated Guo Daxian's words loudly, and everyone on the city wall heard his shout!

    Zhou Dao spat out a mouthful of blood again, it was bad, he had fallen into a trap!  He looked around blankly, but the soldiers on the left and right looked at him even more blankly!

    Zhou Dao shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, the enemy is bluffing, charge me!"

    It¡¯s a pity that the trembling voice betrayed him.  Everyone can hear that Zhou Dao is bluffing!

    At this time, Guo Daxian shouted loudly: "Surrender and avoid death! The whole family of those who resist will be killed!"

    This sentence hit the weak point of the defenders on the city, especially the local soldiers of Qinshui.  Seeing that the Montenegrin Army has breached the west gate, if he continues to resist, his family will be harmed!  After finally living a stable life, how can he let his family accompany him to death?  !

    Nearly all the Qinshui young men fighting on the city threw away their weapons, and the Black Mountain Army officers just drove them aside and concentrated on guarding them without harming them.

    Seeing that the young men were not held accountable, more and more Cao Jun soldiers chose to surrender.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Lie rushed to Zhou Dao and said to him in a hurry: "Mr. Zhou, leave quickly. I will cover your breakout from the south gate!"

    Zhou Dao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I, Zhou Dao, have won the trust of General Xu Rong and advised military aircraft for him, but I didn't expect that when I carried the banner for the first time, I lost his city! What face do I have to live in this world, what face do I have?  Goodbye Xu Shuai?! Xu Lie, farewell!"

    After saying this, Zhou Dao took out his sword from his waist and stabbed himself with the sword!

    Xu Lie sighed, but ignored his sadness and just shouted loudly: "Form up a formation and break out with me!"

    Hearing his cry, more than a hundred surviving Cao Jun soldiers spontaneously moved closer to him.  It's just that the soldiers under Guo Daxian were not vegetarians. They didn't give them a chance to assemble. They just entangled the soldiers of Cao's army and relied on their numerical advantage to beat them to death one by one!

    EyeSeeing that there were less than twenty people left around Xu Lie, Guo Daxian laughed: "Cao Jun is nothing more than that!"

    Just as he was laughing wildly, Guo Gang suddenly fell to the ground and shouted in horror: "Enemy cavalry!"

    How can it be?  Guo Daxian looked at Guo Gang in surprise and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about in the blue sky? How could there be enemy cavalry?!"

    Before Guo Gang could speak, Guo Daxian's guards were already pointing in the distance and shouting tremblingly: "Cao's cavalry!"

    I saw a black flag with the word Cao flying high in the smoke and dust in the distance!
