The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 109: Frontal Seesaw
Neither gold juice nor hot oil nor boiling water can be poured over, and they can't throw weapons at it. Only stones can cause damage.

When lifting the stone, some government officials had a strange feeling in their hearts, as if they were rioters holding stones and old weapons, occupying the city, and the people outside were attacking the regular army who wanted to take back the city, because They had crossbows and well-organized troops.

"Quickly, if you kill someone, I will reward you with money!"

The landowners on the city wall panicked and shouted that if the city was destroyed, they would lose their hair and lose their lives, so they were very happy when they promised rewards. As for whether the rewards were fulfilled, they were taken from the people and used by the people. These people who have no wealth The lower class people will eventually spit out what they have eaten.

The recruited village warriors raised stones and threw them at the crossbowmen with all their strength. They looked like the indigenous people who had resisted the Qin army.

The militiamen had already expected it, and everything went as the Kitchen King drilled. The two rows of shield bearers, who were staggered like canine teeth, only needed to close up to form two rows of tall wooden shields that were tightly connected.

"Dong dong dong."

The stones hit these wooden shields, making a muffled sound.

The militiamen looked relaxed. The stones that could be thrown were not too big to begin with, and they could withstand being hit by them. The force of these stones was not as strong as the ones kicked by Company Commander Ren. impact.

"Aim at the city wall and shoot freely."

The order was given.

The crossbowmen quickly loaded their crossbows. They took off the arrows from their backs and kept filling them into the God's Arm Bow.

Then aim at the city wall and start shooting.

Although it was not a clustered shooting, it was not that intensive, but such an uncertain and irregular shooting method made the guards on the city wall not know where to hide.

After throwing two rounds of stones, the guards on the city wall found that they could not cause any harm to the opponent at all.

Their morale immediately suffered a huge blow.

Zhang Douliang gritted his teeth as he watched this scene, "Stop throwing stones. Reserve your strength and wait until the opponent attacks the city before throwing them."

He didn't believe that these people relied on these fifty crossbowmen to shoot all the people in the city to death.

As soon as he finished speaking, some arrows were scattered in the sky.

They looked at the sporadic arrows flying in the sky in a panic. Some people swayed left and right to avoid the arrows in the sky, but they caught them and an arrow was inserted into their eyes.

"what!"

He covered his eyes and screamed, blood flowing all over his face, "My eyes, my eyes!"

He roared, with arrows nearly two feet long stuck in his eyes, howling and scurrying around.

The people around looked at this scene with horrified expressions, and arrows would be inserted into other people from time to time.

This area of ​​the city wall suddenly became chaotic.

"Handle the wounded, don't mess up your position," Zhang Douliang said angrily. This is what these rabble-rousers would do if they suffered a slight casualty. "We are on patrol, leading the government officials to maintain order! If anyone dares to escape, behead him on the spot!"

He yelled.

The three inspectors hurriedly led the government officials to bring down the city wall the man who was running around with an arrow in the panicked crowd.

Inspection Wang Wu glanced into the distance. The third wave of arrows from the crossbowmen had not yet arrived. He pulled out his knife, looked at these people with a ferocious expression, and yelled, "Stop fucking running around. Hide and don’t face these crossbowmen!”

While he was talking, a man ran towards him. Wang Wu got angry and kicked the man to the ground with a knife on his neck.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Stop running around! I will kill anyone who runs again!"

Wang Wu roared again.

This time Wang Wu's words had an effect. After all, the knife was still on the man's neck. Looking at the inspection face, he really dared to take action.

Seeing that the order had stabilized, the inspector looked at the crossbowmen and said, "Quick, go to both sides to avoid them. Don't stay in front of these crossbowmen."

There were not many crossbowmen. Although the city wall was not wide, it was long enough to provide enough distance to avoid these crossbowmen.

There were three patrol inspectors and government officials to maintain order. This time, the guards on the city wall were not too confused and dispersed one by one to both sides.

"Pass it on, the shield follows the bow. We are the wasps. These are the ones who are dodging back and forth. Follow them and sting."

Liu Zhenhua sat on his horse and looked at the guards moving on the distant city wall.

The messenger quickly conveyed the news to the militia and heavenly soldiers, until it reached the ears of the crossbowmen and shieldmen at the front.

The shield bearers and the two rows of crossbowmen behind them, who were originally together, quickly separated into two groups. 25 shield bearers protected the crossbowmen behind them.

They moved towards the sides.

While moving, the arrows were shot towards the city wall, although the accuracy was a bit off.

But the arrows of 50 people are always chased and shot at those unlucky ones.

Zhang Douliang's face turned green. He and the wealthy landlords, squires, and wealthy people were hiding in the middle pavilion of the city wall. Even so, they had to avoid the incoming arrows.

Where can there be such a siege?

No, this is not called siege at all, this is called harassment.

Every time the opponent shoots, some people will be injured, and some unlucky ones will be shot directly.

Those crossbowmen kept shooting with their crossbows from a distance and would not move forward at all. Being beaten passively like this would have a huge impact on morale.

"Some people go down to the city! Others disperse," Zhang Douliang shouted. The bandits did not intend to attack the city. With so many people staying on the city wall, and with the defensive items piled on the city wall, there was no place to hide.

"Wang Wu, send someone to tear down some wooden doors to make shields!"

Zhang Douliang saw that these arrows did not have much power when they fell. Although flesh and blood could be penetrated, if they were replaced by wooden boards, they would definitely be able to defend against them.

"Yes!"

Wang Wu responded, and then called a few militiamen down to the city to tear down the wooden boards of the houses, or simply find some tables.

Liu Zhenhua looked towards the city wall and could vaguely see that there were fewer people on the wall.

"Going to town?"

The county magistrate was not stupid. He knew not to attack the city but only to shoot, so he let some people go down to the city to escape.

"Let the ladder and the siege team feint to attack, and the crossbowmen close up to cover, and the opponent's siege team will retreat when they get up to the city."

The enemy has countermeasures, we have strategies, Liu Zhenhua will use his "wolf is coming".

The order was quickly communicated.

Among the militia teams on both sides, the attackers have been impatient for a long time. The only pity is that they are feigning an attack. It would be great if they really attack the city.

"rush!"

Five teams of militiamen ran quickly out of the militia team carrying ladders. The distance of 40 meters only took more than ten seconds for these militiamen who had been trained to run on weekdays.

They charged forward with their heads down, and only the team leader responsible for watching the city wall stared at the city wall, ready to retreat at any time.

"Hurry, the enemy is about to attack the city!" Zhang Dou's conscience trembled and he shouted quickly. The landlords also shouted, but if you look closely, there seemed to be fewer landlords on the wall.

Li Zemin was the oldest, and the older he got, the less courageous he became. When he saw the thieves lined up in large numbers, Li Zemin didn't think about escaping. After all, the Li family's house, shop, and fields were all here, but when he saw those people taking out bows and bandits, he was the oldest. Li Zemin was afraid when he fired the crossbow.

The opponent even had crossbowmen, so they were obviously no longer ordinary thieves.

Either they are holding the rebels together, or an army in the border town has directly rebelled. With just a few people in the extension, which is not a tall city wall, how can they resist these people.

It doesn't matter if you don't want those family properties, the most important thing is to escape from here with the gold and silver treasures.

Only fools stay here and resist.

After hearing this, some rural warriors who had just come to the city hurriedly rushed towards the city wall.

"Get ready to defend the city. When the enemy comes up, they will throw rolling rocks and rocks, and pour hot oil and other things down," Zhang Douliang said while looking at the people rushing forward. Those people were almost rushing to the base of the city wall, and the ladder seemed to be tilted. I took it up.

Directly opposite the attackers, Xiangyong, who defended the city, hurriedly picked up logs in twos and twos, or picked up large rocks and prepared to throw them downwards.

When they leaned against the wall, arrows were immediately shot towards their heads.

Zhang Douliang watched angrily as the wooden shield team and the crossbowman team got closer, almost only 20 meters away from the city wall.

But the attackers below stopped and even stepped back to prevent themselves from being splashed with hot oil by some of the defenders.

This time the crossbow arrows were fired straight at them, causing six or seven of the city defenders to be hit by the arrows in their chests and fall straight back. One person who was even trying to hold a stone high and tilt his body to throw it downwards was hit by the arrows. After that, his center of gravity became unstable and he fell down towards the city, along with the rocks.

The death toll from this direct shooting far exceeded the previous harassments.

This is the difference between crossbow arrows shooting straight and arcing.

Some guards retreated hurriedly. So many people were shot and killed in front of their eyes, which had a great impact on their souls.

"Move the body down and continue to defend. Those people are still underfoot."

Zhang Douliang shouted, his voice was a little hoarse. As a commander, he was commanding the defense of the city. It was also the first time for an older girl to get on the sedan chair.

Facing such a cunning enemy, Zhang Douliang felt really tired.

"Siege!"

Along with his roar, the roars of those people also came from below.

"quick!"

Zhang Douliang shouted to the soldiers on both sides, "If the city is broken, you will all die!"

The landlords couldn't sit still. They couldn't save their lives and family property when these thieves came up. They scolded their servants one after another, "Why are you still standing there, go quickly!"

The two patrol inspectors waved their knives and urged the defenders to drag the bodies down. The people on both sides came over and gathered in front of the attackers. They were holding pans of oil, ready to pour them down.

"withdraw!"

Who knew that those attacking the city below would actually retreat again.

At the same time, another batch of crossbow arrows came directly.

Another batch of soldiers who had just gathered in the front were shot dead. The defensive tools they were holding in their hands immediately dropped their hands and threw them towards the city. A basin of hot oil fell directly on the surrounding defenders.

Since it was a hot summer day, the people guarding the city were wearing cool clothes. When the hot oil came into direct contact with their skin, a smell of meat suddenly appeared, and along with the smell were the screams of these people.

"what!"

They touched the area stained by the hot oil, and a layer of skin came off with just a handful of hands.

This horrifying scene fell in the eyes of some people and directly destroyed their psychological defenses. They cried and ran towards the city.

"Hey!"

The sword flashed and blood splattered everywhere. Wang Wu looked ferociously at the people who were about to flee.

"If you run away during war, deserters should be killed."

"Now that we have a shield, the enemy's arrows can't hit us!"

Wang Wu shouted loudly, and the corvee behind him held up the door panel, car panel or wooden bed panel in his hand.

First there was the threat of killing, and then there was great good news, which allowed some panicked pawns to stabilize a little, at least they would not be able to flee.

"Well done, Wang Wu, I will remember you for your great contribution!"

Zhang Douliang looked at Wang Wu who came over. He did a good job and was capable and courageous.

The surrounding landowners also applauded when they saw this scene, but they didn't expect that there were some capable people among these moths.

The corvee holding these boards stood in front of the crossbowman.

In this way, the crossbowmen below the city cannot threaten the warriors above.

The people hiding behind the wooden boards also felt a lot more at ease. At least they no longer had to hide when the arrows were coming.

"Hmph, if the opponent builds a ladder, he will take action. Otherwise, he will hide behind the wooden board."

Zhang Douliang shouted that these bandits were very cunning. He could tell that these people were unwilling to attack the city by force. It was probably because they were well prepared. If they tried to attack by force, there would be a lot of casualties.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dou felt a little complacent in his conscience. Many county magistrates were slaughtered by the mob, but he defended them with his soldiers. This was all a political achievement.

Everyone responded. With this shield, they were stabilized and would not be in such a panic.

Liu Zhenhua looked at the erected wooden boards in the distance. The crossbows were no longer a threat. He stretched his muscles and bones, and then it was his turn to play.

"Let everyone except the wooden shield bearer return to the team," Liu Zhenhua said.

The messenger immediately brought the news.

Liu Zhenhua, on the other hand, was riding a horse and seemed to be walking toward Yanchang County in a somewhat melodious manner.

The crossbowmen and the siege militia team quickly returned to the formation and waited.

The battlefield was silent, the sky and the earth were hot and windless.

Tapping.

Only a man and a horse came slowly, and the melodious sound of horse hooves formed a clear contrast with the solemn atmosphere.

"The leader of thieves?"

　I changed the marching time. In the past, it was calculated based on five kilometers/h, ignoring the rest time. In the past, most of the times were to check the distance and then exclude five. Sorry for the oversight.

　　There are two more chapters to the party.

　　We have a fan base and if you are interested, you can add it.
