"I am willing to follow the general to kill all the barbarians!"

Little Six and the others roared angrily.

"Is there any fire oil? Give them some power!"

Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Qi Shizhong asked.

The arrows were used up a few days ago, and now there are no more.

"No more, not a single drop left."

Little Six replied.

No more, that's a pity.

Qi Shizhong felt a little regretful, the effect of fire oil on killing the enemy is still very good, the most important thing is that there are not many people on their side, pouring fire oil can plug a little gap, and the pressure is greatly reduced.

"Kill, take Yanran City, let's have a carnival for three days!"

Husar looked at the city wall in the distance, he could already see that there were not many people on it, so he let out a smirk.

He knew that the opponent could no longer withstand the repeated attacks.

The more and less kerosene is put, it should be gone depending on the situation, that is, the opponent of the arrow is gone.

They rushed over, and the other party didn't shoot arrows enough to explain the situation.

Seeing this situation, he was ecstatic in his heart.

This Yanran city is within reach.

The Jurchens began to climb up the city wall, and then the handover of soldiers began.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the defending city, which was short of troops, had already begun to retreat in just a moment, and the city walls had already begun to fall.

Even though Qi Shizhong was brave, he couldn't withstand so many Jurchen attacks.

Husar looked overjoyed, and rode his horse towards the city, knowing that the city had already been captured.

Seeing this scene, Qi Shizhong had a look of misery on his face.

The Jurchens gradually overwhelmed them, and the city walls began to change hands.

But at this moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes was suddenly heard, and a cloud of dust and smoke billowed in the distance.

Chapter 6 Seventeen is a talent

The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and smoke and dust billowed in.

Among the smoke and dust, an extremely huge banner loomed in the middle.

"Are reinforcements coming?"

Qi Shizhong didn't know what was going on in the distance, but listening to the sound of horseshoes and looking at the panicked Jurchens, he felt as if they were his own reinforcements.

Xiao Liuzi's face was full of disbelief, how could it be possible, didn't he say before that there would be no reinforcements?

Why are reinforcements here now?

Little Six's face was full of disbelief.

But Husar under the city wall was frightened.

He could clearly see from his horseback that there was a big Chinese character written on the flag on that side.

With such a banner and such a charge, it was easy for him to think of an army, the Xuanshui Army!

It's the Xuanshui Army of Star Seoul!

Husar took a deep breath, only feeling his scalp go numb.

Are you kidding, he is hitting Yanran City, Yanran City of Chengzhou Kingdom!

What is this star Seoul doing?He saved Yanran City?Isn't this the city of Cheng Zhou?Do you have a half-dime relationship with him?

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Husar didn't have time to think too much, the army of Xinghan City is coming, run quickly!

The Zanda clan led an army of hundreds of thousands, all of which were wiped out by the opponent. There are only so many people on my side, and none of them can escape if they don't run away!

Husar, who was already terrified when he saw Xing Hancheng, didn't dare to think too much, so he turned around and ran away.

The rest of the Jurchen tribe didn't dare to stay any longer, they had also seen the power of Xinghan City, and they dared not ignore it at this moment, as they ran faster one by one.

They were running fast, but the Jurchens on the city wall were a little overwhelmed and extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they didn't dare to bother anymore, and ran towards the city wall one after another.

It's just that Qi Shizhong and others, how could they let them go like this, seeing the reinforcements coming, everyone suddenly became brave several times.

The Jurchen tribe was defeated like a mountain, and the Jurchen tribe on the city wall, seeing that everyone behind them had run away, did not have the courage to fight at all, and started to flee one after another.

A few of them fell directly to the city wall because they didn't catch them well.

And when they managed to get under the city wall, they saw the cavalry from Xinghan City had already arrived, waved their hands without saying a word, and just slashed with a knife, splashing a pool of blood.

Qi Shizhong and the others looked at it at this moment, only then realized that the flag of this cavalry was actually a Chinese character.

"This is"

Qi Shizhong was stunned. He thought it was Cheng Zhou's reinforcements, but now that he looked carefully, it didn't seem to be the case.

The armor of these cavalrymen glowed with a pitch-black cold light, and their entire bodies were covered in iron armor. The spears in their hands were extremely long, but extremely sharp.

"General, this seems to be a soldier from Xing Seoul."

He Qi, the standard bearer, took a step forward, looked at it and said something hesitantly.

"What does it mean, that is, the current dynasty of the Han people is only Chengzhou and Xinghan City. Chengzhou does not have such an army. No matter how you look at it, there is only Xinghan City."

Little Six wiped his face, and opened his mouth in response.

The Jurchens in the distance had already run far away, and it was difficult for the heavy armored cavalry to chase them, so Cheng Xue gave up her plan to pursue them.

"Open the city gate!"

Cheng Xue raised her head, and immediately stood under the city wall. It seemed that the other party was condescending, but in Cheng Xue's tone, it seemed that Cheng Xue was the one who was on top.

Such arrogance made Qi Shizhong a little uncomfortable.

"General, what should I do?"

When Xiao Liuzi and the others heard the words, they all turned their heads to look at their own general. As far as the current situation is concerned, the only way to do it is to open the city gate.

The people here are all the elite of Xing Seoul City, how many people are there on their side?In fact, there is not much difference between not opening the city gate and opening the city gate.

Hearing this, Qi Shizhong also had a look of embarrassment on his face. After all, he is the defender of Chengzhou Kingdom. If he opened the city gate for the rest of the people like this, he might be suspected of surrendering to the enemy.

Chengxue below was a little impatient at this moment.

"What are you waiting for? If I hadn't rushed to help you, you would be nothing more than a corpse right now, and even the people in the city would be slaughtered. Han soldiers don't attack Han people, but if you are obsessed with it, don't blame me for taking action!"

Chengxue still admired the other party quite a bit, and instead of abandoning the people in the city, she led the soldiers to stand firm for a long time.

Those who do this for generals should be respected.

But respect is respect, the other party can't be so ignorant.

Without Lu Chensheng's intentions, this city would no longer exist.

"Oh, open the city gate."

Qi Shizhong hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand helplessly.

It has already reached this point, and I am powerless to resist the other party, plus what the other party said, there is no need to be so stubborn because they are all Han Chinese.

It is not a bad thing to die in the hands of barbarians to defend the country, but it is somewhat aggrieved to die in the hands of one's own family.

What's more, he has already died once, and he was saved by the other party after all.

The gate of the city opened, and Chengxue led the army into the city.

Qi Shizhong led the soldiers to stand on both sides, looking at the soldiers entering the city, his eyes were full of envy.

Looking at the other party, looking at himself, the gap in this equipment is too big, it is simply helpless.

Their equipment is nothing more than leather and a little iron, and the knives in their hands are already blunt.

Looking at the opponent, the cutting edge of the lance was still brand new, with a hint of coldness.

"Which of you is Qi Shizhong?"

Cheng Xue rode on the horse, and looked down at the remaining people.

"I'm."

Qi Shizhong stood up and responded directly.

Cheng Xue couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard the words, "So it was you, who led 500 people to defend the city for nearly two months, and you are a genius. Star Seoul currently lacks generals, are you willing to surrender?"

Surrender?

Qi Shizhong was stunned when he heard this, but he never thought that the other party would persuade him to surrender.

To be honest, generally speaking, Xing Seoul City does not accept those ministers or generals who surrendered.

From Lu Chensheng's point of view, these surrendered people made it impossible for Lu Chensheng to fully trust them. These people have already been stained once.

However, this Qi Shizhong led 500 people without retreating, and swore to defend Yanran City to the death, which moved Lu Chensheng's love for talents.

Facing an enemy several times stronger than himself, being able to hold back the enemy for two months is a brilliant record.

Most importantly, Lu Chensheng admired the other party's tenacity to die.

Little Six and the others turned their heads, wanting to see how their general would answer.

Qi Shizhong's face was full of embarrassment, "The last general will eat the salary of the state of Zhou, eat the king's salary, and be loyal to the king."

"Xinghan City has a higher salary, and will never give up what kind of soldier. The family members of soldiers who die in battle will be taken care of by the court. A soldier who dies in battle will receive five taels of silver."

Chapter 6 Tax Bank

There are five taels of silver?

Hearing this, Little Six and the others were stunned.

None of them thought that Xinghancheng's allowance was so high, and according to the other party's intention, it seemed that there was much more than that, and there were other cares and the like.

"What the general said is a lie? The last general has never seen such a high amount of money in any court."

Qi Shizhong frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt on his face.

I can't allow him to stop questioning, what is the concept of five taels of silver?It is several times more than the silver they received from the state of Zhou!

Seeing that the other party had some doubts, Cheng Xue felt a little displeased, but after thinking about it, she was right.

It's normal for someone like the other party to come from the countryside without seeing the world.

She also served as a soldier in Cheng Zhou State with the general before, and she also knew how the money of Cheng Zhou State was. Now it seems normal that the other party doesn't trust her.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xue felt relieved.

"The shirts were distributed by people in the army. Unfortunately, many soldiers were killed in battle before. How could it be wrong to distribute the shirts by people in the army? People in the army will never be greedy for Brother Mo's shirts. .

This general was also a member of the Zhou Kingdom before, and he will never deceive you about such matters. "

Having said that, Cheng Xue paused for a moment, glanced at the soldiers in front of him, saw the armor and weapons on their bodies, and sighed in his heart.

For the frontier soldiers, such equipment really makes people sigh.

Maybe she wouldn't feel anything if she didn't follow Lu Chensheng, but now her vision has improved.

"You should think about it carefully. Cheng Zhou is gone, and even his own people are unwilling to rescue. There is no need for such a dynasty to exist."

After finishing speaking, Chengxue rode into the city. Yanran will return to Xinghan City from now on. She wants to clean up and garrison here.

Qi Shizhong listened in a daze, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Is Cheng Xue a soldier of Cheng Zhou?

Thinking about it carefully, he has also heard that the treacherous general Bai Yi led a team of troops to rebel, which caused quite a stir back then.

Looking at it now, Cheng Xue seems to be a quite famous general under General Bai Yi.
