Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 569 We don't want to die

The moat outside the city of Wan County is also four or five steps wide. In addition, it is connected to the Wanshui River, and the moat water is also flowing water. Therefore, it is necessary to fill it with enough passages for the follow-up army to rush to the city wall and attack the city. , It is indeed not something that can be done in a short time.

Although Zhu Weifu, who was in charge of filling the moat, had cave carts to protect their safety, they restricted their movements within a certain range because of this, which also affected their working speed.

But relative to life, stability is the safest thing. As for the time, it doesn't matter to these auxiliary soldiers who buried the moat, as long as the chief officer on their side doesn't urge them.

So they just followed the moat filling method they had trained before, and moved slowly. After about half an hour, a section of passage had been buried on the moat.

But at this time, the city gate of Wan County suddenly opened, and a group of dead soldiers in prison uniforms who looked like criminals charged out with swords and shields in their hands.

"Kill! Go!", "Whoa, whoa, whoa!", "A certain family wants to eat your flesh and drink your blood!"

These dead soldiers shouted in confusion, and they didn't know whether it was to scare others or to encourage themselves. Anyway, they quickly ran around in a mess. It was obvious that they were not from the military, they were completely a mob.

It seems that Liu Ye selected some felons from the death row in the city, gave them promises and benefits, and asked them to act as dead soldiers to destroy those bridal chamber cars. Therefore, although the five hundred dead soldiers ran around in a mess, they seemed to be in danger. There is also a bit of ferocity in his aura.

For a while, the auxiliary soldiers hiding in the cave car heard the movement, saw such a scene, and hurriedly pushed the cave car to the side of the army and fled back. Obviously, this was the way they had trained to deal with it.

But they wanted to escape with the thick bridal carts, so naturally they were not as fast as those dead men holding swords and shields. Seeing that many dead men were about to catch up with these bridal carts.

Some of the dead men also seemed to have water and oil in their hands, which was originally contained in a water bag, but now that the water bag was cut, they wanted to throw it on the cave car.

After all, their main mission is to destroy the cave car, not just kill people. The best way to destroy the cave car is to burn it with fire. If you just cut it with a knife, you can't cut through the thick hole. house car.

But at this moment, six or seven of the more than 500 dead men suddenly poured kerosene on the people around them, and then ignited the kerosene again, but a commotion broke out among the [-] dead men. There was confusion.

Then these people began to slash and kill other dead soldiers around with their knives, shouting, "We are willing to surrender, we do not want to die, we are willing to surrender! Those who do not want to die, follow us to find a way to survive!" "

Then these six or seven people took the initiative to flee in the direction of Zhu Weijun's formation. It seemed that they didn't want to continue to be dead soldiers, but wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

The actions of these people also aroused the hearts of many other dead men who were former criminals. Soon, dozens of dead men also shouted and fled in the direction of Zhu Weijun's formation. They didn't care about destroying the cave car task.

Of course, at this time, on the side of Zhu Weijun's formation, they saw dead soldiers rushing out of the gate of Wanxian County, and probably more than a thousand swordsmen formed a shield formation to prevent arrows under the orders of the military marquis and the head of the village, and walked quickly. He rushed forward and prepared to rescue those bridal carts and auxiliary soldiers in the carts.

More than a thousand people were divided into groups of hundreds to form a circular turtle-like formation, and then they quickly walked towards the city and rushed towards the direction of the dead soldiers.

As a result, before they could get close to those dead men, the more than 500 dead men became chaotic by themselves, but it saved them a lot of effort. Therefore, the more than 500 dead men killed from Wan County [-]. Two bridal carts were splashed with kerosene and caught fire, but the other bridal carts took the opportunity to escape from the pursuit of the dead soldiers and quickly fled to the army's formation.

However, Liu Xun's defenders on the city wall also began to shoot feather arrows down the city at this moment. At first they aimed at those Zhu Wei soldiers who formed a shield formation and rushed up. Went to Feather Arrow.

This time, the scene in front of the city seemed very chaotic.

Those warriors who had been encouraged to fight for their lives suddenly encountered internal changes. Many of them no longer had the will to die, and naturally they had various thoughts at this time.

Some quick-witted people followed the first six or seven people and wanted to vote for Zhu Weijun, and some people didn't care about other things at all, just wanted to take the opportunity to escape for their own lives. Anyway, they had already escaped from the cage.

As a result, at least half of the more than 500 dead soldiers have no intention of continuing to carry out sabotage tasks.

There are still some dead men who are still thinking of doing meritorious service and atonement because their family members are in Wan County, but things are changing too fast. Even if they still want to chase those bridal carts, they are blocked by other chaotic dead men step.

Then after Zhu Wei's sword and shield hand rushed up, their chances were even less.

At this time, Liu Xun's soldiers on the city wall may not be able to distinguish which dead men still want to perform tasks. Those dead men want to escape, so they just shoot arrows indiscriminately. He died under the arrows of his own people.

As a result, the remaining dead men who did not want to leave Wan County had to flee towards the gate of Wan County.

Of course, more dead soldiers escaped from the range of the city's bow and arrow, and ran for their lives indiscriminately. Some of them really fled to Zhu Wei's army on their own initiative, and it seemed that they wanted to surrender to Zhu Wei's army.

However, among the six or seven people who disturbed the momentum of the dead soldiers at first, a few rushed to the rescue soldiers of Zhu Wei who formed the tortoise shell formation, took out some tokens representing their side, and showed their identities as the school office. Hiding in the tortoise shell formed by these sword and shield hands, to ensure that he will not be shot by the feather arrows on the city wall.

Then these school affairs offices arranged by Liu Ye to come out for interrogation, under the protection of these sword and shield hands, followed the retreated cave carts, and returned to the Zhu Weijun formation outside the range of the bow and arrow.

Of course, someone reported the news of these people to Pang Yan.

Pang Yan did not do anything special, but sent these people, along with the other dead soldiers who also followed to surrender, to the army formation where Zhu Wei was located. Anyway, these people will be handed over to Zhu Wei for disposal. up.

After sending these people away, the [-] dead men who were killed from the city of Wan County basically died or fled, and there was nothing left.

As for Zhu Wei's dozen or so cave carts, two of them caught fire, but the fire was still under control. Not long after, the auxiliary soldiers who were charged with the carts put out the flames with sand, and they could be used again...
