Chapter 221： retreat

The tragic offensive and defensive battle began. Because of Gree’s promise, the siege party had a very high morale for a while, and they wanted to enter the city, but the morale of the defender was even higher. One is because they had a long time before. Oppressed by the imperial court, they now have a chance to take revenge. Naturally, they will not be soft. Another reason is that they also know that they are doing a beheading business. Once the city is broken, all of them will be There will be no good end, all, they have no other choice, they can only fight desperately to prevent the opponent from breaking the city.

The morale of both sides is very high. The defenders in the city cannot compare with the regular troops outside the city because of their poor weapons and equipment. However, they are the defenders of the city and occupy a good position. Therefore, for a while, the two sides are equally matched. , There is no winner or loser. Although the siege party can occasionally go up to the head of the city, it will soon be defeated by the defenders in the city.

Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, even though Ge Rui was anxious, he could only retreat in gold and fight again tomorrow.

"Damn, I finally retreated!" The leader of the enemy standing on the head of the city, watching the densely packed soldiers outside the city fade like a tide, he touched the blood on his face.

When the war was urgent, even he personally went to battle. His martial arts were originally higher than those of ordinary farmers. Coupled with his identity as a leader, he could still significantly improve everyone by fighting in person. Combat effective.

"Yes, the army of the court is different. They all say that they have no combat effectiveness, but their strength is not weak." said a person next to it.

"They are fighting so bravely because they are facing people from peasants like us. You throw them on the battlefield to the north and try? You are guaranteed to escape faster than anyone else. Bah, shit, this group I only know the guy who fights in the nest." Someone said disdainfully.

This is also true. The imperial army has lost consecutive battles in the battlefield to the north. They are completely on the defensive. Even so, they can't hold them in many cases. At this time, they have already been occupied by Zifeng Nation. The city is over.

However, these soldiers did not dare to fight against the troops of other countries, but they were not afraid in their hearts to suppress the insurgents in their own country. In this way, their strength naturally came into play.

Chief Qiu looked at the enemy army outside the city and frowned. He found that he still underestimated the strength of the court's army, although their current strength had dropped severely, and the battle against Zifeng Nation was also a victory. Less loses more, but there is still an advantage in fighting against these farmers under his leadership.

Of course, this is also related to the strength of the troops under him. Most of these people under him are farmers before and have not received any training at all. Moreover, weapons and other things are very lacking. Many people Still fighting with farm tools, what kind of strength can such a team have?

It was really a miracle to be able to take down the county seat before.

However, Chief Qiu will not sit still. He knows what he is doing now. Once caught, others will have the opportunity to surrender and survive. However, as the leader, the opponent will definitely not let him go.

Therefore, he must find a way to repel the enemies in front of him as soon as possible.

Soldiers outside the city were already camping one after another. Looking at the other side's scattered barracks, Chief Qiu's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had discovered other opportunities.

"Old Chu, let everyone eat and rest first, choose the elite at night, and go out of town with me." Chief Qiu said to the people around him.

"Out of the city? Why are you out of the city?" Lao Chu asked suspiciously. He was also inclined to fight against each other before, but after this previous battle, he also understood that there was still a gap between them and the other party, even if It was with the help of the city wall, and they were fighting very hard. Now they are going out of the city, isn't it looking for death?

"Of course it's killing people. Okay, don't worry about so much. You will know when the time comes." Chief Qiu said.

"Okay." Lao Chu also knew that his mind was not so flexible, so he didn't even ask.

"Damn, I'm so mad, these **** mud legs!"

In his camp outside the city, Ge Rui was losing his temper. He thought that as soon as his army arrived, the mud legs of the rebellion would surrender obediently, and he would be able to achieve his reputation. Then let his brother-in-law help with activities. The official position may be improved a little bit.

However, he did not expect that those **** guys in the city were so arrogant, killed himself so that the people who shouted would not speak, and he relied on the city wall to block his team from entering the city, fighting for so long. He hadn't breached the city wall and had lost a lot of his men, which made him very annoyed.

Of course, he also saw that the people in the city are not as strong as the people he brought. The reason why they can hold on now is that they insist on insisting on a breath of energy. In his opinion, breaking the city is Sooner or later.

"Come here, bring wine!" Ge Rui shouted loudly, a little annoyed.

It didn’t take long for the soldiers to come in with a jar of wine. It is said that there are restrictions on drinking in the barracks, especially when they are still fighting, so you shouldn’t drink. However, Ge Rui is obviously about these. I don't care. In the military camp, he does more extraordinary things than this, and it is not uncommon, and the soldiers under his men have long since been surprised.

Ge Rui slapped the mud, and suddenly a strong smell of wine floated out. It didn't take long for it to fill the entire camp. Ge Rui closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Suddenly, his face was full of intoxication. Even if he hadn't drank it yet, he felt that his whole person was already ecstatic.

"Good wine, really good wine, such a good wine, under the old man's hands, is a waste." Ge Rui said.

It turned out that this bottle of wine was not bought by him, but snatched it. On his way here, he passed by a small county town. At that time, he accidentally discovered that an old man made such a good wine by himself. It was also in his heart. The big move, because the court stipulated that private individuals were not allowed to sell wine, so he took advantage of this to grab the wine that had already been brewed directly from the old man. That’s not the case, he paid it back. Forcing the other party to hand over the formula, obviously he didn't want to drink it only once.

The old man was killed during the conflict with his men. Ge Rui didn't care about killing an ordinary person. This was not a big deal. All he cared about was what he gained.
