Chapter 515

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Zhu Zhicang is a clan family that has been in decline for many years, he is different from ordinary people. Since he is fighting for the clan's children, his equipment is not bad.

At this time, he heard the sound of drums coming from the West Gate Tower, and he rushed to the front of the West Gate Tower. Less than three hundred warriors were gathered here, and most of them were without armor.

Many people even signed up to go to the city to kill thieves just because they were greedy for the ten taels of silver. They actually thought the same as Zhu Zhicang, and they got the ten taels of silver to give to their families first.

At this time, most of the people who can be organized as social soldiers are the poor people in Kaifeng City, and there are many refugees who fled from other counties.

After all, as long as you become a soldier of the society, you will have a settling silver in your hands. Now, as long as you sign up, you will get ten taels of silver regardless of the results of the battle after going down to the city.

Gao Mingheng finally gave encouragement to these daredevils who were about to go to the city to kill the thieves: "Since you have received the money, you must not back down. After you go down to the city, you should do your best to kill the thieves. If you can't kill the thieves, you can't do it either." Go up the city.

Do you understand everything? "

"Understood, kill thieves with all your strength, and you will die without retreating!"

"Okay. Kill the thieves, I will wait for you to come back and spend the new year together."

After Gao Mingheng finished speaking, he turned around and said to the soldiers and civilians standing on the city wall: "You must hold on to the ropes in your hands and lower them slowly, and you must not let go."

"Yes!"

He shouted again: "Tie the rope. Listen to my orders, prepare to throw firewood, lamp oil, and 'ten thousand enemies'. First burn the thieves, and after the smoke rises, the warriors will go down to the city to kill the thieves."

The soldiers and civilians on the top of the city immediately got busy, wrapping the mouths and noses of these daredevil soldiers with soaked cloth towels, and bundles of dry firewood were thrown down at the base of the city wall.

Then buckets of lamp oil poured down, and along with the torches, there were also thousands of enemies.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

A fire dragon ignited again at the bottom of the city wall to the south of the west gate of Kaifeng. Along with the roar and explosion of thousands of enemies, there were waves of thieves crying and howling.

…………

Liu Chengzu and Wu Bocai grabbed the third city brick. When they ran back to the uneven ditch with the city brick in their arms, there was a burst of roar and explosion behind them, and Liu Chengzu was shocked on the spot and fell down in the ditch.

He glanced back, and saw that the place where he had been digging the city bricks just now was already in flames, and there were a dozen hungry people and two bandit soldiers running towards him, crying and crying.

Liu Chengzu didn't have time to rejoice that he ran away these ten steps early, when he heard Uncle Wu yelling beside him: "Run...run away...don't dare to wait foolishly..."

But he seemed to be hooked by something, and he couldn't get up for a while. He lowered his head impatiently, and saw that he was pressing on a frozen corpse of a starving man, and the stiff left hand of the corpse was actually tightly hooked to his belt.

The more Liu Chengzu struggled to get up, the tighter the hook became, as if the corpse wanted to keep him in the dark, and he happened to see the hideous and terrifying face of the corpse in his panic, and his heart became more and more violent. Startled.

Uncle Wu was carrying a broken plank on his back, and he had already run five steps away with the city bricks in his arms, but he heard no footsteps coming from behind him. When he looked back, he saw Liu Chengzu was still lying in the trench and did not get up.

He was so angry that he strode back and scolded angrily, "Why are your legs weak from fright?"

As he was talking, he grabbed Liu Chengzu by the collar of his clothes behind his neck to lift him up, but he didn't expect that he didn't move him. He looked down and found that his belt was hooked.

In desperation, without thinking too much, Uncle Wu hugged the city brick he had snatched back and threw it at the stiff arm hooking Liu Chengzu's belt. There was a crisp "click", and the arm that knew how to be hard broke in response.

The moment Liu Chengzu stood up, he seemed to see black shadows descending from the city wall in the smoke of burning firewood. He pointed at the city wall and said, "Someone, Uncle Wu...someone has come down..."

"Run, get up and run!"

Uncle Wu shouted loudly, he didn't have time to look back, he just wanted to carry the city brick and go back to work as soon as possible. This is already the third city brick, and he can exchange the buns after carrying it back.

He pulled Liu Chengzu back and ran away without his life.

…………

Zhu Zhicang held a waist knife in his mouth, was wearing cotton armor, and carried a leather shield on his back. He stepped on a sheath made of hemp rope with his left hand, and kept pushing the hemp rope with his right hand. Standing against the city wall, keep a distance between yourself and the city wall.

Although they were covered by thick smoke, when they descended to half the height of the city wall, they were still discovered by bandit soldiers, and bursts of arrows roared and flew towards them.

Arrows kept shooting at the city wall beside him, making muffled noises, and he even heard a scream coming from not far away, but he didn't dare to distract himself to look at it.

He felt that he was not far from the ground, and when he looked down, there was a wooden shed with a broken door under him, and there were still a few sparks around him, and thin smoke was still rising up around it.

Zhu Zhicang saw that there were shouts of killing coming from below, and there was a wooden shed less than three feet away. He pushed hard on the city wall with his right hand, and pulled down the hemp rope with his left hand at the same time, and at this moment his feet were freed from the hemp rope covers. come out.

The temporary wooden shed built with broken door panels was really strong, and the bricks, rocks and logs thrown from the top of the city could not knock it down, so Zhu Zhicang jumped onto the roof of the wooden shed with a "plop".

The wooden shed shook for a while, and at the moment when it was about to fall, Zhu Zhicang jumped down from the wooden shed again, rolled on the ground, and then jumped up.

Before his body could stand still, a wooden club hit him on the back. Fortunately, he was protected by the leather shield on his back. Zhu Zhicang staggered forward and almost fell like a dog. On the ground, the right hand immediately grabbed the waist knife from his mouth and swung it backwards.

Then he dodged to the left and rolled twice, until he hit the city wall. He stood up, waving the waist knife in his right hand, and pressed his back against the city wall.

He saw that there was a group of battles all around him. At this time, he took a closer look at the situation. There were about a dozen bandits here, and the rest were nearly a hundred hungry people. The warriors who came down from the city were all wearing red cloths on their heads. article, but there are less than 20 people.

"Kill...kill...ah..."

But he has already gone down to the city, and now he can't go back even if he wants to go back. At present, the only way to return to the top of the city is to kill this wave of thieves. He uttered a sudden cry and rushed into the battle group.

He didn't even have time to take off the leather shield on his back. He swung the waist knife in his right hand and rushed forward, slashing and wounding several hungry people one after another.
