C220 City Battle



C220 City Battle

Because everyone has the same opinion, so, after separating... They began to prepare for the defense of the city. Fortunately, when they attacked the county earlier... The people in the county did not resist at all. So... The things guarding the city, such as wood, rolling stones, etc. There were still some things to guard the city.    

    

At this moment, the army sent by the Imperial Court to suppress them was marching unhurriedly. In the middle of the army, there was a sedan chair. Eight muscular men were carrying it forward.    

    

"Sir, we are about to reach Mei County. Shall we set up camp first?" At this time, a man who looked like a military advisor came to the sedan chair and said.    

    

The curtain of the sedan was lifted and the appearance of a middle-aged man who was in low spirits appeared. He yawned and said, "What camp are you setting up? Those are all mud legs. What's so great about them? When my army arrives, they will definitely surrender."    

    

This middle-aged man was the commander of this battle, Ge Rui. Ge Rui himself did not have much ability. Usually, he liked to gamble and play with women. However, he had a good brother-in-law, which was why he was able to take this position.    

    

However, this fellow can't bear hardship. If he were to march normally... He would always sit in a sedan chair. This time, he heard that there was a mutt revolt here. There were more than ten thousand people, but in his mind, these people were all farmers who only knew how to farm. What was so amazing about them? Therefore, he volunteered himself. He wanted to suppress them.    

    

His brother-in-law had the same thought as him. Although he knew that the Western Army's current combat strength was no longer the same as before, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to defeat these scumbags. Therefore, he agreed.    

    

However, it was obvious that Ge Rui didn't have much experience. They were now less than ten miles away from the county town, and they hadn't sent scout yet. He also did not have any intention of stopping. He wanted to set up camp directly under the county town. When the mud men in the county town saw his army, they took the initiative to surrender.    

    

When the man heard Ge Rui's words, he didn't say anything else. In fact, he did not know much about marching and fighting. However, before Ge Rui became rich, he had followed him. Therefore, now that Ge Rui had become a general, he had also benefited from it.    

    

The main group was still moving forward slowly. As the saying went, Good. When there is a general, there will be a soldier. When there is a soldier, there will be a raging one. Ge Rui was like a bear in a nest. The army under his command could not be any better. Originally, this team still had some combat strength. Otherwise, Ge Rui's brother-in-law would not be at ease. He had asked him to lead the army alone.    

    

However, what his brother-in-law didn't know was that ever since Ge Rui led this army, he had taken the lead in gambling in the army and even made prostitutes in the camp. He had caused the entire camp to be in a foul mood. Now, there was no combat strength left to speak of.    

    

When Ge Rui brought his people to the vicinity of Mei County, he saw many people standing on the city wall of Mei County from afar. Clearly, the other party had already noticed his arrival and was prepared.    

    

However, Ge Rui did not have anything to be afraid of. It was just a bunch of mud legs. What was there to be afraid of? Moreover, many of them did not have complete weapons. Some of them even had forks and wooden sticks. He really did not know. What was there to be afraid of in such a team?    

    

"You, go forward and shout, make them surrender!" Ge Rui said to his advisor.    

    

"Yes!"    

    

After the man answered, he walked to the front of the formation arrogantly. He shouted towards the city wall, "People in the city, listen up, our Lord Ge has the virtue of living a good life. As long as you open the city gate and sneak attack obediently, we will spare your lives. Let bygones be bygones. If you don't surrender... "    

    

However, before he could finish, he heard something in the air. It was a sound that made his scalp tingle. He instinctively felt that something was wrong. Just as he turned around and wanted to run back into his array, he suddenly felt that something had pierced through his array. "Puff!" The sound of metal entering flesh could be heard. His body uncontrollably rushed forward for a long distance. After that, this sound kept coming from behind him.    

    

"How can they be like this? How dare they do this?!" That was the last thought in the advisor's mind. He had never thought that... He was just going to say something. Even if the other party refused to surrender, he should not have ambushed him. However, the other party clearly did not do as he had expected.    

    

Ge Rui looked at the ground, where arrows were inserted into the back of his body. His subordinate, who had already lost all signs of life, was also stunned for a moment. He had never thought that the other party would be so decisive and bold. However, he immediately realized that it was the other party's provocation. The other party had never thought that he would surrender. He thought about how he had wanted him to shout in person. It was just that he felt very tired standing there with his head held high. That was why he didn't shout. Now that he thought about it, he felt a little scared.    

    

"Go, all of you, attack! Those who take the lead to attack the city walls, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver. Kill them all, not a single one of them will be left alive. Take down the county town, I will allow you all to indulge for three days!" Ge Rui shouted at his own team.    

    

Hearing Ge Rui's words, everyone's eyes lit up. After indulging for three days, they could do whatever they wanted in the city. If they wanted to rob something, they could rob it. If they wanted to rob a woman, they could rob her. No one would care.    

    

Therefore, everyone did not care about the hardships they had gone through as they rushed towards the city wall.    

    

Originally, the military fighting should be very orderly. Where should they attack? As for where to feint and attack, it was all arranged. But... Ge Rui did not care about that. He directly ordered his subordinates to charge forward. That messy look wasn't much different from the performance of the people in the city. There was no sign of military attainment.    

    

Originally, the people on the city wall were a little worried. After all, this could be said to be their first contact with the Imperial Court's army. When they took over the county, there had been no resistance at all in the county, so there had been no battle at all.    

    

However, it was different this time. After all, it was the imperial court's army. Although they were confident, they had always been oppressed by the imperial court and had a natural fear of the imperial court in their hearts.    

    

However, now that they saw that the other party was the same as them, completely unorganized and messy, they naturally felt relieved.    

    

"Smash it!" The general on the city wall gave the order, and everyone threw the stones they had prepared down. They were just ordinary farmers before, so they did not have any archers. Hence, these stones, wood, and the like were their best long-range weapons.
