Chapter 334

On the second day, when the sky was getting hazy, the sound of horns suddenly sounded from the Hengshan Army, and the sound shook the sky.After the sound, countless soldiers poured out of the barracks in an instant, like a tide flowing out of the camp and gathering below the city.In less than half an hour, the [-] army was divided into four large formations, neatly arranged into square formations.

Just when the defenders in the city got up from the bed in confusion and panic, and came to the city wall with their fluffy eyes open, they saw that the Hengshan Army had already shouted and shouted under the city.

The big man who was talking to Hou Mingfeng before came up yawning, and he was standing on the wall looking out at a glance, and he couldn't help but walked up strangely, "Brother Hou, you're so fast, you're here so soon?"

"Brother Du, I just arrived." Hou Mingfeng smiled and said perfunctorily. In fact, when the horn sounded on the opposite side, he got up with a grunt and climbed onto the city wall.

The big man shook his head slightly, went to the wall to look around, couldn't help but yelled, and cursed: "Damn, it was just doing drills, I thought I was attacking the city, I got up so early."

Seeing that the big man was about to leave, Hou Mingfeng grabbed him and asked curiously: "Brother Du, do you think the Hengshan Army is practicing now? What kind of drill are they doing?"

The big man tried to break free from the opponent's hand, but failed. He couldn't help but glanced at him slightly surprised, stood on the spot, glanced at the opposite side, and said angrily: "What else can it be? It is Hengshan's unique way of training troops, called, It’s called formation training. It’s actually just standing in place and turning in circles, nothing new.”

"Training in formation?" Hou Mingfeng frowned, looked at the strange formation, and asked in doubt: "If it's just this kind of training method, how can the Hengshan Army become a strong army? Don't they train fighting methods?"

"Why not? Just keep watching, and you will see how they kill the enemy in a while." The big man pointed to the front and smiled.

Sure enough, at this moment, a rapid drum sound came, and the originally dense queue suddenly dispersed. The soldiers of the Hengshan Army held weapons, and under the sound of the drums, they waved the weapons in their hands in unison, and said: There was a neat killing sound.Under such a single but neat movement, the people standing on the high city wall were surprised to find that these movements had such a majestic momentum under the rehearsal of thousands of people.

Hou Mingfeng looked fascinated, and couldn't help shouting in his heart, this is a soldier, this is a strong army that enforces orders and prohibits.As a general, he also longed to build such an army from his soldiers.But no matter how he trains, the soldiers are always unable to meet his requirements.Coupled with the limited military pay and lack of military supplies, the soldiers simply cannot practice every day, so that they can't become a strong army by fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days.

"This, is this the reason why the Hengshan Army is strong?" Hou Mingfeng lost his voice. At this moment, he can't wait to go to Hengshan to inquire about military training.

"Who knows why they are so strong?" The big man muttered, looking at the Hengshan Army opposite him with envy in his eyes, "I heard that the soldiers in the Hengshan Army are treated very well, not only have a generous salary, but also distribute land After a battle, there will be various rewards. Thinking about it now, I might as well serve as a soldier in the Hengshan Army."

"Brother Du, don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be overheard by others." Hou Mingfeng was taken aback, and quickly dissuaded him.

"What are you afraid of!" The big man sneered, "I'm not the only one who thinks this way. You can ask other people, who doesn't know? It's only a newcomer like you who will rush forward foolishly. Listen to brother , when we start fighting, you and I must not stand at the front, and don’t fight with the Hengshan army. Hide whenever you have a chance, the Hengshan army will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Hou Mingfeng looked at the big man in astonishment, he didn't expect him to say such a thing, and he couldn't help feeling puzzled.

The Hengshan army practiced for an hour, and it didn't end until the sun rose.After breakfast, the Hengshan army finally showed its ferocious face, and saw a row of Ya-shaped wooden stakes in the Hengshan army, more than 20 meters away from the moat, lined up in a row.Then, a soldier put a whole bag of soil on the slingshot and pulled it back to tighten the slingshot.Following an order, countless mud bags flew into the air and finally landed around the moat.

Then after debugging, with the second order, the mud bag shot by the slingshot crashed and fell into the moat at the same position, stirring up thousands of waves.

Seeing the actions of the Hengshan Army, the people in the city were stunned. They never thought that there would be another way to fill up the moat.The enemy didn't come up, and the rain of arrows they had prepared for them was completely useless. They just waited to see them fill up the moat bit by bit.

It only took an hour, and the moat was already filled with messy and scattered cloth bags, cutting the river into two sections, forming a passage with a width of more than ten meters.

"Advance!" The vanguard soldiers and horses of the Hengshan Army immediately raised their shields and ladders, and slowly approached the moat, followed by the siege equipment behind them, walking slowly.

When the Hengshan army entered within ten meters of the moat, they saw the top of the city go black, and countless arrows flew towards them, falling among the soldiers.The Hengshan veterans leaned tightly inside their shields, shouting at the recruits beside them, teaching them the means of survival.The recruits were so nervous at the moment, they timidly defended like the veterans. However, even so, some recruits were unlucky and were shot by the rain of arrows, falling to the ground and crying miserably.When even some comrades rushed in front of him, withstood the rain of arrows in front of him, and forcibly moved him to a safe place, a military doctor stepped forward to treat him.Now the Hengshan Army is basically equipped with breastplates. Iron armor made of steel covers the chest and abdomen, which can withstand the impact of long-range arrow rain. As long as they are not shot in the face, they will generally not die.Even if he is injured, he can recover quickly under the treatment of increasingly mature military doctors.

With the continuous impact of the arrow rain, the Hengshan army still marched forward, and after a while, they crossed the moat and rushed to the city.

"Hurry up! Stop them, don't let them put up the ladder!" The generals in the city jumped up anxiously, pushing and kicking to order the attack.

Hou Mingfeng on the city wall looked solemnly at the Hengshan army who was about to approach the city wall, and was about to rush up to help, but was grabbed by the big man beside him, and reprimanded him: "You forgot what I said, you can't do it if you want to rush up to die ?”

"But." Hou Mingfeng was about to refute, when he was suddenly pulled up by the big man and ran down the city wall.

When he came to the city, Hou Mingfeng was taken to a courtyard by the big man, and he saw a group of dark people gathered inside.When one of them saw the big man coming, he frowned, looked at Hou Mingfeng, and asked, "Dewey, why did you bring a stranger?"

"Hey, head, don't worry, this is my good brother, Hou Liangping." The big man Dewey smiled indifferently, "We are about to start an incident, and he is not the only one left, right?"

The man gave him a dissatisfied look, and said coldly: "Those who are optimistic about you, must not leak the news."

"Yes yes yes!" Dewey winked at Hou Mingfeng happily, then took out a piece of white cloth, handed it to him, pointed to his arm, and whispered, "Remember, tie it around your neck later. "

Hou Mingfeng was a little dizzy at this moment, he never thought that the only person he knew in front of him would have a secret to tell.At this moment, he also understood that this elder brother Du was actually a member of the Hengshan Army, and now that everyone gathered together, they must want to cooperate with each other to help the Hengshan Army capture the city.

"Brother Du, who are you?" After being shocked, Hou Mingfeng quickly calmed down, pulled Dewey, and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, don't you see it?" Dewey laughed softly, "Hengshan's army is powerful, and those leaders are no match for them. Our masters have already joined Hengshan. As long as we help the Hengshan army take this city, we can Get the money and go home to live a good life."

"Brother Du, you, you trust the Hengshan Army so much?" Hou Mingfeng looked at him speechlessly and asked with a bitter face.

"Why do you think so much?" Dewey shook his head and waved his hands impatiently, "We are just two little soldiers, and we just follow orders. Is it up to us to choose this kind of thing?"

When Hou Mingfeng heard the words, he was immediately speechless, and couldn't help but fell into silence.

 Hold up your ticket and let me see it, will you? come on!
