In Dengzhou City, Zhu Wen sat in the room, lying silently.

When I was young, a personal soldier came to report: "General, all the generals and the school have arrived, just wait for the general to come and convene a military discussion."

Zhu Wen waved his hand: "Let them wait!"

Seeing that Zhu Wen's face was unwilling, the personal soldiers did not dare to say much, so they hurriedly clasped their fists and retreated.

Zhu Wen's face was not very ugly, but it was not good-looking. In the past few days of the city's offensive and defensive battle, the Dengzhou army had once been in crisis and was almost attacked by the official army. If he hadn't dispatched troops and sent the brave troops to block the gap in time, and a monk group composed of Taoist Taoists in Zhongnan Mountain put out fires everywhere, I'm afraid that Dengzhou City would have been captured by the official army long ago, and he would not be able to sit here safely now.

The strong combat power of the official army was far beyond Zhu Wen's expectations. He originally thought that no matter how well the Pinglu army practiced well, it had never experienced wars. No matter whether it was combat power or the character of the soldiers, it was impossible to be very good. The outstanding performance was that the battle formation was not tightly connected and the cooperation between them was not skillful.

In this way, in the siege battle, large and small battle formations will reveal many flaws and lose many opportunities, giving people opportunities to take advantage of. Moreover, the siege battle is the most cruel, and the pressure on the siege is also the greatest. Just imagine that the rocks on the top of the city are rolling woods, arrows, rain and iron, and they are poured down on the head. How dare ordinary people rush up?

It is said that it is a sea of ​​swords and fires, but this is a sea of ​​swords and fires! When he sees his comrades, he falls on the ladder and falls into meat pie on the ground. When he sees his comrades die by his side, his intestines flow out. Wouldn't ordinary recruits be scared to tears?

However, what Zhu Wen saw in the past few days was the indomitable progress of the soldiers of the Pinglu Army. They were not afraid of life and death, they were not afraid of their own death, nor were they afraid of their comrades' death in battle.

It is true that as new soldiers on the battlefield, they still have too many things that they have not done well enough, many places that make mistakes, and their ability to seize opportunities is not strong enough. Otherwise, they would not have been driven down from the city wall again and again.

But this group of soldiers had a desperate momentum. No matter how many enemies there were in front of them, no matter what situation they faced, they dared to rush forward and rushed forward without any chance. They made up for their shortcomings with their fearlessness and boiling passionate blood, and the elite soldiers of the Dengzhou army fought complained in waves.

There is an eternal truth on the battlefield. Those who dare to fight are afraid of those who don’t want to die, and those who don’t want to die are afraid of those who get crazy.

Facing a group of soldiers who do not reason with you at all, no matter what the result is, no matter how you rush on your face, hold you and jump down the city, how can you fight? Fortunately, there are not many people like that, and the morale of the Dengzhou army will collapse if there are more people.

Zhu Wen has been thinking about a question these days, why are the new recruits of Pinglu Army so unafraid of death? Why are they so crazy? He thought about it for a long time but still had no answer, because the obvious answer was something Zhu Wen was unwilling to admit, that is, Li Ye was good at governing the army.

Putting aside these mixed thoughts, Zhu Wen no longer thought about it, got up and left the house and convened a military discussion with the generals. In any case, he was not a person who easily admits defeat. When he met a strong opponent, he would become stronger and stronger.

However, before Zhu Wen walked out of the door, the personal soldiers came to report urgently, saying that the government army had started attacking again.

Zhu Wen was stunned. He looked up at the night scene. It was almost time.

These days, the official army has siege the city day and night.

......

The seventh day of the siege.

The rising sun rose, and the sunset shone on the inside and outside of Dengzhou City. The formation of the official army had already been assembled. Li Ye came to the battle formation and rode his horse to watch Dengzhou City.

After these days of bloody battles, Dengzhou City has been destroyed beyond recognition. Most of the women's wall has collapsed and damaged. There are traces of blood and fire everywhere. There are almost no clean place, cracks and gaps are everywhere. Facing Li Ye's wall, the blood is washed and turned dark brown.

The soldiers of Dengzhou army stood solemnly on the top of the city, and the queues were still neat. However, in Li Ye's view, these people all had miserable faces, and obviously there was little fighting spirit left. Zhu Wen, surrounded by the generals, stood solemnly on the top of the city, and was also looking at Li Ye's side.

Li Ye slowly came to the city tower with his horse's belly, looked at Zhu Wen, and smiled and said, "General Zhu, according to my general's eyes, Dengzhou City is broken today, so you might as well come down and surrender."

His voice was not loud, but it was enough for people nearby to hear it.

Zhu Wen did not hurry or slow down: "King An, according to my general's view, you will never be able to capture Dengzhou City. You have been attacking for six days, isn't Dengzhou City safe and sound?"

Li Ye smiled and pointed at the tattered city wall: "That's it, General Zhu dares to say he is safe and sound?"

Zhu Wen's face changed, he snorted coldly, and forced himself to do something tough: "As long as King An can't attack the city, the city will be safe and sound."

Li Ye smiled and said, "If General Zhu speaks like this, I have to believe it even if I don't believe it. Speaking of which, I have a destiny with General Zhu. I have met before the war. To be honest, I admire the general quite a lot and have always wanted to have another discussion with the general. Today, this city will be taken down by our army. If the general fights to the death, I am afraid there will be no chance in the future. Why not come down and talk to us in front of the formation?"

Zhu Wen's expression was still changing: "When King An wants to destroy the city, I am still saying the same thing, and I am delusional. As for King An who wants to have a discussion, I will not hide it from it. I admire King An, so it is better for King An to come up. We set up cases on the top of the city, discuss the world, and chat and laugh, which is also a beautiful story. What is King An's intention?"

Li Ye laughed: "I heard that the general is the best in the three armies, so why don't he even have the courage to leave the city? I promise you that we will meet before the army and will never take action."

Zhu Wen said: "If you have the ability, come up."

Li Ye: "If you have the seed, come down."

"Come up!"

"You come down!"

Li Ye and Zhu Wen spat at the same time, cursed the coward, and then stopped talking to each other.

Li Ye returned to the formation and looked around the Pinglu Army battle formation. The soldiers looked firm and their eyes were like iron. Each of them exuded a strong fighting spirit. Their eyes fell on Li Ye, and they were filled with heat.

Li Ye couldn't help but feel slightly moved when he looked at this young and brave face.

He spoke slowly, and his voice was heard far away: "Since the Yellow Thiefs riots in the Central Plains, the mountains and rivers have been broken, the people have been displaced, and the war has been endless. The country is miserable and the country has fallen. This is a true man who is bloody in the battlefield, killing the thieves and serving the country, and is loyal and righteous! You are all passionate men. Since joining the army, they have practiced day and night, and are not what they are doing today? Good men should carry a three-foot sword, make unparalleled achievements, report to the country, report to their parents, leave their names in history, and give them their wives and children, and praise them to future generations!"

Li Ye pulled out the horizontal sword and said with a passionate tone: "A man does not show his ambition, and he is born with an eight-foot body! Now the bandit is right in front of him, Dengzhou City is right in front of him. I want you to answer this coach, what do you want?"

The three thousand wolf teeth were the first to roar in unison, raising the world: "Kill the thieves to serve the country, kill the thieves to serve the country, kill the thieves to serve the country, kill the thieves to serve the country!"

The Lu army yelled in unison: "Kill the thieves to serve the country, kill the thieves to serve the country, kill the thieves to serve the country, kill the thieves to serve the country!"

The 160,000 official troops shouted in unison: "Kill the thieves to serve the country, kill the thieves to serve the country, kill the thieves to serve the country!"

The shouts and shouts were like stormy waves, and in the formation of the official army, outside the three walls of Dengzhou City, they were rising and falling one after another, echoing endlessly.

At this moment, everything is silent, the sky is fading, and only the passionate man is determined to kill the thief!

The defenders at the head of Dengzhou City all turned to fear when they saw this. Some people could not even stop taking a few steps back, and could not even hold the spear in their hands. Even Zhu Wen and other generals also showed horror in their eyes.

Li Ye turned his horse's head and faced the city of Dengzhou, which was broken in blood and fire: "Today, I, Li Ye, will kill the enemy side by side with all the soldiers, and will not retreat even though I have bloodshed! In today's battle, there is only a front and no way out! If you die together, you will be wrapped in a body with you and others; if you live together, you will be driven directly to Chang'an with you!"

With a horizontal knife pointed forward, Li Ye shouted: "Send the order to attack the city!"

"Shipman: siege the city!" The commander's soldiers galloped away, the horses galloped, the dust flew, and rushed around the formation.

"Shi Ling: Siege!"

"Shishou Order" siege the city!"

The sound of the command spreads from afar and reaches every square formation accurately.

"Woooo!" The dull and heavy horn sounded.

"Dong, dong!" The majestic drummer waved the drumsticks and smashed them hard on the war drums. The drum sounded one after another, captivating and reaching the depths of the soul.

The soldiers walked as they listened to the drums, and the iron armored ocean divided into neat square formations and approached Dengzhou City in three directions.

Their steps were in line with the beat of the war drums, and it seemed that even their heartbeat was consistent with the sound of the war drums. Hundreds of war drums were thundering in unison, and only the drums exploded between heaven and earth.

Every time the soldiers took a step, the sound of iron armor rings and pants sounded together, and the sound of golden spears was exciting.

"Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong!" The drum sounded heavier and denser, and the soldiers' steps also accelerated, and the movement of the square formation was orderly and accelerated.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!" When the sound of war drums exploded like a rainstorm, countless soldiers from three formations suddenly burst out with earth-shaking shouts of killing. The neat military formation instantly turned into waves, rushing towards Dengzhou City like a tide.

At this moment, the earth was shaking, and even Dengzhou City seemed to tremble. Only the surging wave of iron armor was left. It could destroy the city and draw villages, move mountains and fill the seas, kill gods and Buddhas!

The two armies have been fighting for several days, but one day, the soldiers of Dengzhou army at the top of the city were as frightened as they are now. Seeing the iron armor of the government army rushing towards them, many of the archers at the top of the city couldn't help but tremble their hands, and even the arrows could not be stabilized. No matter how the generals scolded them, some people kept shaking all over, and some even couldn't control their fingers and let the iron arrows fly out first.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Seeing the waves of the government troops hit the city, loud shouts from the generals and schoolmen sounded at the head of Dengzhou City. With the dense sound of strings, iron arrows shot out, forming dark clouds in the air and landing in the array of officials.

The arrows shot on the shield, making a bang, some were bounced away directly, some were stuck in the shield, but more were inserted into the ground. Some soldiers were shot into armor, and they stopped moving, but immediately continued to run.
