Chapter 270
As the night darkened, there were soldiers patrolling the top of Shanggu City from time to time, beware of Chetuo people's old tricks to attack the city gate at night.

The lights shine brightly like day.

"General, Chetuo people sent in a lot of persuading letters from outside, saying..."

The lieutenant general who was sent to inspect went and came back, he seemed to be holding something in his hand, he hesitated to speak.

Zheng Xin did not rest in the general's mansion, but shared the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, and sat in the gate tower of the city in full armor, horses and swords, always guarding against night attacks by the Chetuo people.

"say what?"

Zheng Xin stared at a pair of red bull's eyes.

The fighting in the daytime had already made him extremely sleepy, but it was a pity that his opponent was the famous Chetuo King, which made him unable to go back to the mansion to rest in peace no matter what.

"The letter said that as long as you surrender, General, Chetuo King would like to give you the salary of a high-ranking official and the beauty of Xiangche, and recommend you, General, as the great general of Chetuo Kingdom..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xin snatched the persuading letter and tore it to pieces.

"This is just a trick by the enemy to shake the morale of our army. Pass on my order. If anyone in the army discusses this matter in private, it will be dealt with according to military law."

Zheng Xin scoffed at King Che Tuo's cherishing talent.

The three generations of the Zheng family bear the grace of the emperor. If he betrays the old master for the sake of glory and wealth, how will he face his ancestors after a hundred years.

Now, there is only one thought in his mind, that is, no matter what, he must firmly guard Shanggu City, which King Shiyu entrusted to him.

However, Zheng Xin can turn a blind eye to this matter, but the soldiers and civilians in the city will not treat it as if it didn't happen.

It's just that the situation in Shanggu City is not exhausted yet, and secondly, Shiyu Kingdom and Dashi Kingdom have repeatedly fought back and forth over this place for many years, and the people here have developed a tough folk custom.

This group of Shiyu people who have not lost their pride still firmly believe that if they can persist until reinforcements are dispatched from other places, then the siege of Shanggu City will naturally be resolved.

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers on guard at night were preparing to hand over the task at hand to the brothers who were on guard.

Suddenly the ground trembled, and the sound came to the ears from far and near, and it turned into a roar like a galloping army in an instant.

"Enemy, it's an enemy attack——"

Before the guard who made the sound came down from the top of the city, he was shot through his right eye by an arrow from a distance, and his body fell down from the top of the city with a plop, without a trace of life.

No one would have thought that the Chetuo people would choose to attack the city when the Shiyu people switched defenses, which was the most lax time.

What followed was overwhelming rockfall.

"Shaoqing, is my arrow accurate?"

King Che Tuo put down the bow in his hand and proudly showed off to the deputy commander beside him.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Naturally, his bravery remains the same as before, and the last general will never be able to match him!"

The deputy commander-in-chief named Shaoqing was convinced.

Six miles away, an arrow pierced the guard's eye socket. Although King Chetuo had the advantage of a magic weapon, what is even more admirable is his amazing eyesight.

The ordinary Master of Heaven's Will, with his eyes, can see the microscopic mustard seeds within a hundred meters. Among them, a good bowman can even cover every detail within two miles, but he can still guarantee the sight from six miles away. Obviously, this King Chetuo The effort is quite rewarding.

He really is a worthy man under his reputation!
King Chetuo nodded appreciatively, raised his whip and pointed at the gate of Shanggu City, and sighed regretfully.

"That fellow rejected my good intentions after all. Lion Yu King is licentious and innocent. How can he sacrifice his life to be loyal? I think this person must be a man with a firm mind. At that time, even if the city is broken, there is no possibility of surrender. Leave him a whole body to be buried alive."

"only!"

Qu Shaoqing saluted with both hands together, keeping this matter firmly in his heart.

"Yesterday's siege is over, how many of the [-] soldiers of Dashi are left?"

King Che Tuo looked away from the city, suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked in a casual tone.

"Your Majesty, there are still more than 3 soldiers who boarded the camp first, so today we still have to let them go first?"

The deputy commander respectfully reported the number of people counted last night.

"Forget it, if you are used as cannon fodder again and again, even a group of sheep will have a rebellious mind."

"Let's pass on my order. For today's siege battle, anyone who enters the camp first can sign up voluntarily. I only want absolute sharp fighters. Anyone who survives today's battle will be promoted to two ranks of nobles. They will be given acres of land and soldiers can also be promoted. For the people of the country."

"I only need 3000 people!"

Yesterday's siege was nothing more than King Chetuo's temptation, and today has just kicked off the prelude.

When the army was allocated properly, the first three thousand to board the camp were also selected by the deputy commander.

They are all elites in the army, among them there are more than [-] old Chetuo people who followed King Chetuo in the north and south, and the rest of the big cannibals are also elite soldiers in the army.

"The widow pours the wine himself, and drinks it with all the strong men!"

"At that time, whoever is the first to climb to the top of the city will own this glass of wine and the wine bottle used by the widow!"

King Che Tuo raised the jug and slowly poured the amber liquid into the wine bottle, and the gold wine bottle shone brightly in the sun.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, not to mention the wine poured by the current king himself.

When the Shiyu people fought again, they immediately felt the pressure.

……

"Damn it, these Chetuo people seem to have taken aphrodisiacs, why don't they even lose their lives."

Chen Laoba is an old soldier of Shanggu City. He has fought this kind of offensive and defensive battles at least ten times, but he has never seen such a brave soldier who is not afraid of death.

His finger was broken, he bit it with his teeth, and was splashed with golden juice, but he still resisted the burn and climbed up the wall.

"Head, if you keep beating like this, the brothers will not be able to hold on any longer!"

But there was no response from behind.

Chen Laoba turned his head in doubt, but what caught his eyes was the eyes of the old Wuchang, who was dying, and the eye-catching Chetuo head hanging on his neck.

Even though he was shot through the waist and abdomen, the opponent still tried his best to die with the old corporal leader.

This bravery made Chen Laoba a little terrified.

But soon he didn't have time to think about it, and two more Chetuo people climbed onto the top of the wall. Chen Laoba gritted his teeth and was about to stab him with a spear, but he tripped over something unexpectedly and staggered involuntarily. for a moment.

not good!

One last thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment Chen Laoba was smashed to death on the city wall by two spears.

As for the one who tripped his legs, it turned out to be an old Chetuo soldier who hadn't died yet.

The siege battle lasted from early morning to noon, and the city of Shanggu almost fell several times, but was driven back by Zheng Xin in time.

Seeing that both the siege and the defenders were a little hungry, the Chetuo people's offensive finally eased a little.

"Boss, why is Chetuo people's cannon chariot like a dumb fire today? It's not half as loud as yesterday. Could it be that there are not enough stone cannons?"

Taking advantage of the time to eat dry food, a lieutenant smiled bitterly.

"Yesterday the Chetuo people were just probing, and they were all new recruits. Today is different. In my opinion, at least half of them are veterans in the army. The Chetuo people's artillery vehicles are so docile today. I am afraid that they feel that relying on These people are enough to break through the gate."

Zheng Xin looked worried.

If this continues, I'm afraid I may not be able to wait for reinforcements!
