Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 213 The Sky Is Burning the City (Chapter 5K)
Before the uprising, Chen Jiao and a group of brothers made a living as water bandits.

Water bandits are nothing more than taking advantage of the wind to rob goods and plunder people.

We must know that in any era, in terms of bravery and ferocity, mountain bandits and horse thieves may not be inferior to water bandits.

But if it is said that they are not afraid of death, dare to leave the field, and make a living under the danger of a big wave that may capsize the whole ship every day, they are better than other colleagues.

Therefore, Chen Jiao and his gang of water bandits were all real desperadoes.

Just like the Soochow camp in the original history, Gan Xingba, the bravest and bravest, was born as a water bandit.

Of course, not fearing death does not mean not greedy for life.

Therefore, when Chen Jiao was in Linzi that day, when the situation was stronger than others, he chose to bow his head and be a minor, and surrendered to Wangzheng. Today, because he also smelled danger, he wanted to do the arson mission assigned by Wangzheng to make up for the lost points during the day.

Although he also has complaints and dissatisfaction in his heart
Isn't it the feint attack you Shuzi said?
I didn't try my best, am I wrong?
It's just that Zhang Rao's performance was ahead of him. In contrast, Chen Jiao also knew that Wang Zheng didn't like him.

Even after his family returned to the camp, Wang Zheng's expression was calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

But Chen Jiao felt it, the coldness that seemed to be absent in the other party's eyes.

Uneasy, when he heard that Wang Zheng had given him the most important task of setting fire, Chen Jiao knew clearly
This time, there is no room for loss.

So tonight was the first time since he joined the Heavenly Army that he took out all his money.

All the direct descendants were dispatched, except that they were not prepared to take the bow personally and charged forward, Chen Jiao felt that Wang Zheng should not be able to find fault with him.

just
After seeing the tragic situation of several old brothers, coupled with the aggrieved and depressed under Wang Zheng's these days, Chen Jiao broke out.

The fierceness hidden in the bottom of my heart was completely stimulated!
He threw away the shield suddenly, and with a move, a personal guard handed him a big axe.

"Follow me!"

With a roar, Chen Jiao took the lead and rushed up.

On the front gate, Xu Fang's men and horses were hitting it with rams, but Chen Jiao chose the side gate on the side.

Just when he got close, Chen Jiao twitched his face. It turned out that there was a fighting board wrapped in iron leaf nails in front of the door, which blocked him from moving forward.

"That's why you want to stop Naigong?"

Chen Jiao smiled disdainfully, but stepped on some flat surfaces of the fighting board and climbed up directly.

In the narrow space, he was able to keep his heels firmly and climb flexibly, and he climbed to the highest point in the blink of an eye.

It was a place where the iron chain was connected to the hangings in the city.

This movement, as vigorous as an ape, attracted applause from the Tianjun side.

Even Wang Zheng couldn't help but look sideways, with surprise in his eyes.

This guy still has such skills?

Wang Zheng didn't know that Chen Jiao had already practiced walking on the ground in strong winds and waves during his more than ten years of water bandit career, and he often climbed on the pole of the boat to look far away and search for merchants and fishing boats.

In contrast, even if the lights are dim, it is really not difficult to climb up with a mere gange board.

At this time, Chen Jiao had already raised the big ax high, and with a grin, he slashed down hard!

boom!
Amidst the loud noise, the county captain on the top of the city turned pale in shock, and immediately ordered torches to illuminate all the city gates, concentrated the arrows by the way, and shot at Chen Jiao.

At this time, the four or five ground troops who followed and climbed up also opened their shields, covering all directions, completely covering Chen Jiao's body.

There was a constant puffing sound, and in a blink of an eye, the shields were filled with arrows.

After chopping it several times, but it couldn't cut through the sword made of refined iron. Chen Jiao shouted angrily while panting:
"Remove this iron bump for me!"

Under the yelling, other local troops swarmed in at the same time, and immediately dozens of people tried to move the fighting board away from below.

It's just that since this thing is made of fine iron, it has a lot of natural weight, and there are iron nails all over it, it's extremely tricky, it's hard to get it off, it's not easy for one person to exert enough strength, let alone everyone working together?
Not only did it not move, but because the shield was dropped, the defenders on the city took aim and fired their bows and arrows again.

With a few screams, more than a dozen local troops lost half of them immediately.

Not far away, Xu Fang was also paying attention to the movement of friendly troops from all walks of life.

Especially on Chen Jiao's side, the success or failure is the most important thing, and they are always paid attention to.

Seeing them in a predicament at this time, Xu Fang, who was a bystander, shifted the bow and arrow, and reminded loudly: "Divide into three ways, file, catch, and throw!"

With this shout, Chen Jiao was startled for a moment, and then he reacted immediately.

"Haha not bad!"

Chen Jiao immediately organized the manpower, first let all the personal guards who were from water bandits like himself go up to the height of the gange board, and at the same time ordered other local troops to gather.

One used a shield to resist the arrows, and the other received firewood from the ground army below, and then threw them all in front of the city gate behind the fighting board.

Good way!
Wang Zheng in the distance was even more overjoyed, and the beating of drums became more and more intense.

But the county lieutenant on the top of the city turned pale with shock, his thoughts changed sharply, and he responded immediately.

"Take someone to the city gate tower immediately!"

The county lieutenant gave orders to a Dubo, and the Dubo suddenly agreed.

For a grand pass like Pengcheng, even the city walls of the inner city are also set up.

On the top of the city, it is natural to use bows and crossbows, throw stones and throw oil, and shoot and kill long-distance.

And within the city walls, guns can also be drawn, and you can get close.

Even the main gates on all four sides have city towers, and the mezzanine of the towers is above the city gates, which can support the shaft gate and side gates at the same time.

At this moment, the situation was critical, and Na Dubo immediately rushed to the lower floor of the city tower with more than 100 knives and axes.

Among Pengcheng's soldiers, there were a few strong and powerful ones who leaned out straight away, and long weapons such as spears, spears, axes and axes directly split the shields responsible for the cover.

Immediately, the archers on the top of the city saw every stitch and shot and killed several local troops again.

Chen Jiao swung his big axe, regardless of the incoming arrows, and slashed at the spear ax protruding from the tower.

He is thin and cunning, but once his ferocity flares up, he finally reveals his true colors.

It turns out that he is also quite brave, with great strength, every time the ax is struck, there is a clang and clang.

Those stabbing spears and swords were either easily pushed away, or even chopped off directly.

However, although the performance is outstanding, after all, the enemy is outnumbered.

Several personal guards beside him wanted to cover him and protect themselves, one of them didn't pay attention, and heard a sound of "poof", but it was a stream arrow that slammed into his ribs.

"hiss!"

Chen Jiao grunted in pain, but became more and more furious. With a roar, he pulled out the bow and arrow and broke it more violently, but he was uncharacteristically, without any fear, not only continued to fight to the death, but also continued to order his subordinates to drop firewood.

Are all the thieves so brave?
Seeing this scene, the county captain on the top of the city thought of Zhang Rao's performance in the daytime, and his heart became heavier.

At the same time, Wang Zheng was secretly speechless and surprised.

That's all for Zhang Rao, why did Chen Jiao become like a crazy tiger?
Could it be that he killed the red eye?

The war has reached a fever pitch.

A few more personal guards climbed up to protect Chen Jiao's side.

Those who used long weapons also followed Chen Jiao, throwing firewood and attacking the tower while throwing firewood.

Since joining Wang Zheng's command, Chen Jiao had attacked the city several times, but this was the first time he had come across Pengcheng's well-equipped defenses, and he didn't know the mystery of the tower.

Seeing more and more Xuzhou soldiers on the lower floor of the city tower, a light flashed in my heart.

Wouldn't it be better to burn this place than to burn the city gate?

Let Naigong burn you idiots to death!
Burn out a road into the city!
Looking at a long spear waving towards him, Chen Jiao suddenly jumped up again, wanting to grab the handle of the gun in the air and climb up the tower.

The Xuzhou soldier who wielded the gun was startled, and retreated hastily.

"Lieutenant Chen, this is impossible!"

Xu Fang in the distance instantly understood what the other party was thinking, and quickly stopped him.

Xu Fang has read all the military books, and he is eager to learn. He is not comparable to Chen Jiao, a vulgar and uneducated person. He is very aware of the beauty of the tower, and he understands that Chen Jiao's method is completely unworkable.

What's the use even if you can get on the tower?

Three or two heroes can't stop the enemy's crowd, and you are not the general of Tiangong, you are an enemy of thousands of people with divine power!

What's more, even if Wang Zheng came in person, there is no way to overcome this situation.
You must know that the height of the gap between the city tower and the city gate is actually very low, at most half of an adult's body can pass in and out, not to mention Wang Zheng's tall figure that is far superior to ordinary people?

Can't get in at all.

The Tianjun used repeated tricks, and Pengcheng's troops on the top of the city were also mobilizing.

Seeing the enemy's attack like a tide, the generals are brave and brave on all sides. Although he has concerns, but under the critical situation, the county lieutenant still can't care about it, and has already mobilized soldiers from the other three sides of the city to help.

The addition of the new force immediately relieved the suppressed defenders who were about to collapse.

Even the new archers, under the command of the county lieutenant, pointed down and kept pulling their bows. The denser and denser arrows formed an overwhelming momentum, and immediately defeated the upward momentum of several heavenly armies.

Chen Jiao was also affected.

When there are more arrows raining, everyone will have to spend more energy on dodging and blocking. Even if the firewood continues to be thrown, the efficiency is slowing down visible to the naked eye.

the other side.

The ladders on Zhang Rao's side also boarded a few waves of soldiers. Although they occupied the top of the city, they didn't last for a long time, but the situation became more and more favorable.

As a result, as soon as the strength of the defenders increased, it immediately made it impossible for them to even go up to the top of the city.

Seeing that not only did he fail to break through, but instead retreated instead of advancing, Zhang Rao, who had been waiting for a long time, rolled his eyes strangely, snatched the round shield of a personal guard, went into battle again, and rushed up the ladder.

At this moment, he is eager to do meritorious service, and he only remembers Wang Zheng's kindness with that glass of wine, but he completely forgot his exhortation to cherish his own life.

As the commander-in-chief of a party, Zhang Rao's armor is very good. After blocking most of the bows and arrows, there are a few missing ones that can't be shot through. So the whole journey is safe and sound. Seeing that he is about to rush to the crenel, the spears of several Pengcheng soldiers Directly dancing the mace and hitting him.

"Let Naigong teach you how to use a gun!"

While leaning over to avoid it, Zhang Rao threw away the shield directly, clasped both hands together, looked at the seam of the iron chain, and stabbed out with a single shot!
The tip of the spear was sharp, and Zhang Rao was strong enough and experienced in siege, and he knew the weakness of the Langya Pai, so he broke the interface all of a sudden.

Immediately, the long spear pressed down and pressed hard, avoiding the mace that was only connected by a chain, and passed in front of the ladder.

The main general performed so well, everyone applauded when he climbed down from the city.

"it is good!"

Wang Zheng was also overjoyed, laughed repeatedly, and finally stopped beating the drum, looked around, and praised:

"Major Zhang is so brave, it really justifies my Yellow Turban name!"

"In the grass, there are dragons and snakes hidden!"

"Are there no warriors within the Yellow Turban?"

After finishing speaking, he said again: "Follow me to beat the general drum and cheer for our brave generals!"

"Here!"

The drumstick fell heavily, and with a sound, the drums echoed.

The person who plays the drum is to use the drum to beat the Shang sound among the five tones.

While beating the drum, Wang Zheng looked at Zhang Rao at the same time, followed his steps up the ladder, and beat the step drum with Shang tone.

One step at a time is a step drum.

Now the drummers who are also beating the drums are all his personal guards, and everyone is a second-rank yellow scarf.

Now working together, each person, every punch, is as powerful as a thousand junctures.

Just listen to the majestic, rapid and sonorous sound of the drums, like rolling thunder, shaking the sky and the earth.

On the other side, seeing Chen Jiao and Zhang Rao's repeated performances, Wu Sheng's heart was burning, but his mind became more and more calm.

The time has not come!

I have to be patient!
He smiled grimly, raised his arms and raised his sword, but also shouted in cheers: "Heavenly punishment!"

"God damn it!"

Thousands of people sing in unison, the sound is so powerful, and the timid people will feel their muscles become soft when they hear it.

Xu Fang of the west city wall was also doing a feint attack that was so violent that it didn't look like a feint attack at all, in order to attract the enemy's troops. Hearing the sound, he also raised his arms to lead, and the heavenly army shouted in unison;

The remaining troops staying in the main formation, even the peasants and Tianfu soldiers knew that Wang Zheng was boosting morale, so they shouted accordingly.

All of a sudden, Pengcheng was surrounded by shouts.

Most of the Xuzhou people on the city tower couldn't understand what they were shouting, but under the great momentum of Shanminggu's response, their morale was depressed.

Zhang Rao rushed close to the crenel, swung his long spear, and knocked away several spears that were coming to intercept him.Seeing that he was unstoppable, the enemy on the crenel retreated, pushed Mucheng over, and attacked with archers instead.

The wooden city is five feet wide and five feet higher than the crenel. It is connected with six hardwoods.With this as a cover, the archers don't need to worry about safety.

The county lieutenant brought in the spearman again and stood beside the archer.From the gap in the wooden city, stab out the tip of the spear and attack Zhang Rao.

Zhang Rao resumed his old technique, piercing the wooden city with the tip of his spear, trying to lift it away.Mucheng is fixed on the ground, unlike the mace in the air, it cannot exert strength.With a loud shout, he stabbed deeply with his spear, killing an enemy who was trying to push down the ladder with a fork.

In front of the city gate, there was a burst of cheers suddenly.

It turned out that the firewood had finally been piled up!

At this time, all the local troops retreated one after another. At the same time, Chen Jiao and his personal guards jumped down one after another, shouting:
"Dongfeng please!"

This is a pre-negotiated code.

Within the main account.

Hearing this cry, Wang Zheng's eyes lit up, and while the drum kept beating, he turned his mind into fingers, and immediately issued an order to the Qingzhou step bows.

In an instant, hundreds of rockets were fired in unison.

It drew a perfect arc in the sky and fell into several piles of firewood.

next moment.

Seeing raging flames, the fire was overwhelming, and in an instant it formed a tendency to leap into the sky, producing thick smoke billowing.

When the soldiers on the tower were evacuated one after another, the county lieutenant just glanced at him, not only did not move his body, but his expression remained solemn.

Since he had already discovered the plot of the thieves, after such a long time, he was already prepared.

What's more, Pengcheng has been standing up to now, how could the previous attackers not use fire attack?
Sneering secretly, he waved his hand, and saw the guards around him waving the command flag at the same time.

On the city gate and under the city tower, the stone slabs were lifted at several places at the same time, revealing that they were hidden pools.

In the sound of smacking, it seemed to be the sound of pushing the mechanism, and then the silver dragon poured out and poured down, and it took only a moment to extinguish all the fires at the city gate.

Depend on!
Seeing such a change, Wang Zheng in the distance was stunned and almost couldn't hold back his curses.

He didn't expect such an accident.

During the day, he climbed the ladder and returned it in vain; at night, he burned the door and failed again.

Is this Pengcheng so difficult to break through?
Along the way, although the counselor's dream is often broken, it has never been like this. He was slapped in the face three times in a short period of time.

You forced me!
The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, Wang Zheng decided not to waste it with the other side.

If tricks don't work, then push it recklessly!
Throwing the drumstick casually, Wang Zheng put his hand on the hilt of the sword directly, and said in a serious tone:
"Quickly bring the horse!"

At this moment, Wang Zheng no longer thinks about the future, he only cares about the present, and he really wants to go all out.

Not only are the system soldiers coming out, but even he is ready to go into battle himself.

At this moment, the guard shouted in surprise: "General, look!"

how?

Hearing this, Wang Zheng turned around and looked around.

It turned out that just now, Zhang Rao abandoned his gun and used a knife, directly chopped down a few guards, and finally jumped to the top of the city again.

it is good!
He praised the festival, but saw Chen Jiao and Xu Fang on the side, seeing that the fire was futile, and they also made changes at the same time.

Chen Jiao gave up throwing firewood, Xu Fang also gave up the feint attack, they all wanted to follow Zhang Rao's example and rush to the top of the wall from the ladder.

Take a hammer and break the antlers first!

Wang Zheng hurriedly yelled at the drum and issued an order to stop it.

After filling up the trenches before, he had already discovered that the defenders in front of the city wall had laid many wooden stakes on the ground, which were as chaotic as deer's feet.

A wooden stake is driven [-] centimeters in, and [-] centimeters are exposed above the ground. The part exposed on the ground is as high as the leg of a sika deer, so it is called a deer foot.

This is used to block cavalry.

It is precisely because of their existence that the cavalry of Wu Sheng and Tianzhu Camp have not moved yet.

If the city gate is not broken, even if the antlers are broken, it will be useless?
Unlike Chen Jiao who followed the order directly, Xu Fang was stunned, looking at Wang Zheng from a distance, not knowing what he meant by this move.

Seeing the determination in Wang Zheng's eyes and the fact that the two sides were far apart and unable to communicate, Xu Fang followed the order with his soldiers.

Naturally, Wang Zheng was not confused.

Although there was a moment before, it was indeed on the verge of going crazy.

But Zhang Rao's timely meritorious deeds made him less angry, and he noticed something after he woke up.

This Pengcheng County Lieutenant is indeed a capable person. He can see through his schemes, so he immediately responds and prepares.

How many pools can store water?
When Wang Zheng thought about it, he was unprepared to burn the house just now, and the mistake he made was that he shouldn't light the firewood together.

Just do it in batches, draining the enemy pool before they have time to add.
The gate of the city can be broken by the sky fire!
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng stared coldly at the county lieutenant on the top of the wall, feeling ruthless in his heart.

I must beat you!
Looking around, he immediately ordered, and then went to gather all the firewood and dispatch troops.It is divided into five groups, and the doors are burned in turn.

Even though Zhang Rao had already rushed up the tower, half of the six ladders that had just been transported from Xiao County were destroyed by this effort.

The remaining two planes have not yet broken through the enemy's defense.

Xu Fang's side is also the elite of the Heavenly Army, and he is a fourth-rank soldier. His military strength will never be weaker than Zhang Rao's. If he goes to the city, he is very sure.

It's just that Wang Zheng has made a decision.

Tonight, he still has to light this fire!

If you don't let me burn, I just want to burn!

Of course, this isn't all a recent insistence.

Now Zhang Rao was rampaging and killing at the top of the city, and indeed swept out an area, and more than a dozen soldiers climbed up.

However, the defenders on the opposite side were approaching with a large number of people. After a long battle, they either fell into a stalemate or were forced to go down.

On the contrary, if the city gate can be breached, it is more suitable than occupying the top of the city.

The number of their own family is superior, and there are cavalry, and the combat power of a single soldier is also better than that of the Pengcheng defenders.

Once the opponent loses the geographical advantage, the help of equipment will also be greatly reduced.

At that time, there will be soldiers lost and experience gained.

Then you can really let go of your hands and feet, and the whole army will press on!
And the Pengcheng army will end up being crushed!
