Chapter 97 Entering the City (Subscription Request)

When Lu Yuan saw the bows and arrows on the city wall, he had already given the order to charge at Shi Lincheng.

The soldiers behind him were so hungry that their eyes turned red. As soon as they got the order, they all rushed towards the city gate without caring about their lives.

There were no more than fifty archers on the city wall.

The soldiers were at the front, holding wooden shields made from woodcuts in the mountains and forests.

Those arrows could not cause any harm to the soldiers below.

Many of those people in the city who were drawing bows and arrows were even constables.

Being able to draw a bow is already good enough, there is simply no other means of dealing with it.

When the arrows they shot became more and more frequent and still had no effect, there was a look of fear on their faces.

"Bang~!"

"Bang~!"

"Bang~!"

The soldiers carried three huge logs and rammed the city gate again and again.

After more than ten sounds.

“Boom~!!”

The city gate collapsed.

Two thousand soldiers, with their weapons raised high and red eyes, charged into the city like hungry wolves.

At the gate of the city, hundreds of county soldiers and constables were so frightened by the murderous looks of the Tianxing Army soldiers that most of them lost their fighting power.

Either being hacked to death or being directly disarmed.

Shilin City has not encountered banditry for a long time. They are just people who maintain order and make a living.

These nearly 2,000 soldiers had fought their way from Youzhou to Yunzhou, and then to Muzhou. They had experienced nearly a month's trek and had fought and escaped several times with bandits and elite government troops. They were no longer new soldiers from Youzhou.

At this time, they had been hungry for three days and were fearless. They would kill anyone who dared to stand in their way.

The hundreds of soldiers guarding the city wall would almost certainly collapse if they were hit.

Many soldiers had already rushed towards the county magistrate and archers who were giving orders on the city wall.

Soon, sounds of hacking and screaming for mercy were heard on the city wall.

Lu Yuan stood in the distance and watched the battle.

Only when he saw his pawns had rushed to the city gate and broke into the city wall did he approach the city wall step by step.

It's just a county town, and the soldiers there seem to be not on the same level as the soldiers of the generals in Youzhou and Yunzhou.

There was no need for him to take action against such weak soldiers.

Your own pawns can be completely crushed, and this can also train their combat effectiveness.

The fighting soon stopped, and Lu Yuan, holding a spear, stepped into the city gate.

In Shilin County.

Pairs of barefoot, shirtless figures, carrying swords and spears, with blood on their bodies, walked on the streets.

The people in the city all closed their doors and almost no one dared to stick their heads out to check.

Perhaps many people are still unaware of the county magistrate's previous troop mobilization.

But the north gate was broken open, and the sound of fighting and killing startled almost everyone in the city.

These people had no idea what was going on. After a panic, they all went into their houses, protecting their wives, daughters and elderly people, and closed the doors.

In the room, they prayed that the bandits would not enter their house.

At this time, the hungry pawns all had clear goals and headed towards the shiny brick and tile mansions.

He kicked the tightly closed door open with two kicks and walked in with a murderous look on his face.

Once he entered the yard, he rushed straight into the kitchen.

Whatever he caught he would stuff into his mouth.

If I came across any chickens or ducks in the backyard, I would cut their necks with a knife and then boil water in the kitchen to pluck their feathers.

Several people gathered around to clean it and put it directly into the pot to steam it.

The wealthy merchants who were hiding in the bedroom and even the hired guards who heard the noise were so frightened that they all shrank their necks and dared not come out of the house. A fairly good courtyard house.

The house at the deepest part of the yard.

A middle-aged man, holding a kitchen knife, protecting his wife and daughter.

Although the man looked a little panicked at this time, he still held the kitchen knife firmly and pointed at the door of the room.

His beautiful daughter and wife were both staring at the closed door with horror on their faces.

Bandits are coming in!
He even kicked open their gate!

They could even hear someone rummaging through something outside!
In such troubled times, bandits and robbers are not uncommon.

It's only in Muzhou that the situation is better because there are generals from the imperial court in charge.

Even the Tianxing Army further south.

It is said that it will also clean up some evil gangsters.

Therefore, they only heard about the brutal acts of those bandits.

But I have never encountered this before.

Now, bandits have come to kill them, and their faces turn pale when they think of what might happen to them.

There were several footsteps outside the house.

Subsequently.

With a "bang", the door was kicked open.

Two pawns with red eyes rushed in with swords in hand.

The two pawns were shirtless, their eyes were shining, and they even had saliva dripping from their mouths.

He rushed straight towards them.

The two women screamed in fright.

The middle-aged man looked fierce, picked up a kitchen knife and chopped at one of them.

But the pawn dodged the knife light with just a slight move, cursed "fuck" angrily, and kicked the man to the ground.

After being kicked to the ground, the man still held the knife tightly in his hand, got up, and continued to chop at the pawn.

However, before he could stand up completely, a knife shadow hit his hand.

He felt pain in his hand, cried out, and fell to the ground.

Holding his wrist which was red and beginning to swell.

Just now, he was hit by the back of the knife, so his palm was not broken.

But it was still red and he no longer had the strength to hold the knife.

"Damn it!" One of the soldiers was furious and raised his knife to chop at the man.

However, the knife he was about to chop was blocked by the knife of another pawn with a "clang" sound.

The pawn shook his head at the pawn wielding the sword.

The pawn looked at the man who had attacked him and fell to the ground with hatred, and shouted:
"Get out!".

The man felt pain in his hand, but he said nothing. He just glared at the two soldiers angrily.

His wife and daughter are still here. Even if he dies, he will protect them. How could he leave?

The other soldier turned around and said to the two women who were running around in fear:

"You guys get out too."

After saying that, the two soldiers sat down at a table full of food in the middle of the room, behind where the three men had just hidden.

Just grab the rice, vegetables and meat on the table and stuff them into your mouth.

This sudden action confused the three owners of the house.

It wasn't until I saw the two people at the table wolfing down their food and soup that I suddenly understood.

The other person's shining eyes just now were not looking at the two women in the room, but because he was extremely hungry and wanted to eat the food on the table.

The man's wife and daughter also understood what was going on at this time. They stood up and helped the injured man out.
