Chapter 19

Hua Zheng was flipping through the system in the palace and planning his future development direction. Recently, he has successively achieved two main task goals: "The territory population reaches 10,000" and "The territory farming area reaches 15,000 acres" and "The system points have reached 1,941 points.

At this moment, he suddenly received a system message:

[Temporary mission "Rescue Su Daji", Su Daji and his father are now being hunted down and are fleeing to the mouth of Yishui River, rescue them and safely escort them back to Yousu. The reward points for completion of the mission is 300]

Seeing this message, Hua Meng jumped up from the floor, shocking the pigeon chamber manager who was entering the hall.

"Report to the Lord, the pigeon furnished received a letter from the whistle castle, which was from the whistle castle from the mouth of the Yishui River." The pigeon furnished manager said quickly after calming down.

Hua opened Jinbu and looked at it, then hurried to the military camp.

...

One hour, or two hours ago.

More than twenty Su warriors fought hard, wielding the short spears and axes in their hands frantically. They were all the guards of the king and the most brave elites in the country of Su. The intestines of a soldier flowed out and raised the axes with the last strength. The axes fell down and were hitting the back of the Chong Kingdom soldier who was fighting with others, and then fell to the ground with his master.

Chong Bohu rushed forward with a quick step, raised the bronze sword in his hand and stabbed it into the neck of the last soldier Su standing. He wiped the blood on his face, looked at the two carriages away, and said with a ferocious face: "Carriage will chase after you first, and the rest will follow you."

Wu rushed out in a carriage and chased him along the Yi River.

...

The mouth of the Yihe River, in the outpost fortress of Xiaguo.

The sergeant Xia Yan had just handed over lunch, and each person had a bowl of white rice porridge, a corn ball, a piece of pickled salted fish, and a few slices of bacon. After each soldier received his own portion, he went to the big pot where he cooked wild vegetables and picked up a few chopsticks and wild vegetables.

Xia Yan was a slave who was bought by Xia Kingdom and was given several acres of land in Bei Village to cultivate, and then signed up for the Hu Ben. He won military merits in the battle of Xia Kingdom conquering Ru River Valley and was promoted to sergeant commander, obtained the surname Xia, and managed the entire outpost twenty-five people.

At this time, he was drinking rice porridge, thinking that he could win more military achievements to get his wife. He had a land and a wife and children who could drink this white rice porridge from time to time, and his life would not be in vain.

Just as he was about to finish his meal, the soldier on the watchtower suddenly shouted loudly: "There is something!" Xia Yan drank the remaining porridge in one sip, threw the bowl on the ground, and climbed to the top of the city wall in a few steps.

The two chariots were racing, not far from the castle. He looked closely and found that it was the two people who looked noble in the morning who were contacted by the two Su people, but their large number of escorts disappeared.

Xia Yan turned his sight further and found that there were five chariots behind him, obviously chasing the people in front.

The two chariots had already arrived at the city, and he heard the luxurious middle-aged man and a beautiful girl who was as beautiful as a fairy, shouting to him.

"Let us in...there are evil people behind us, we are friends of your king..."

He quickly passed his mind and made a decision.

"Open the city gate and welcome them in." He said to the soldiers on both sides.

...

When the gate of the Shubao Castle at the mouth of the Yishui River opened, the carriage behind it had already chased to the front of the door. But they did not dare to act rashly, because Su Daji and his daughter had been protected by the ten Xia Kingdom tigers who had left the city. Without any words and deeds, their bodies and armor, as well as the three-foot round shield in their hands and the heavy bronze sword were enough to shock the dozens of Chongguo soldiers.

The Hu Bens ignored the questioning of the soldiers of Chongguo, and just stood up their shields and swords, posed a defensive posture, protected the two chariots behind them, and stepped back to the fort step by step, and then closed the city gate tightly.

The soldiers of Chongguo had to wait patiently. After a while, a large group of people and the king Chongbohu arrived. However, they did not notice that a gray pigeon rushed into the sky from the fort and flew south.

"It's unreasonable. Someone is building a city here..." Chong Bohu said angrily. Then he ordered someone to shout. Xia Guohu Ben, who was stationed at the outpost, was still silent. This was not their own opinion, but acted according to the emergency response process formulated by China.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Chong Bohu walked around the city twice, confirming that there was no possibility of many troops in the city. He ordered a decisive order: "Siege the city."

These more than 300 people followed their master to hunt, without siege equipment. Seeing that the city wall was not tall, they could climb to the top of the city by stacking three layers of human ladders. So they were divided into three groups and rushed to the foot of the city wall to start "building human ladders".

"Those who climb over our city walls will die!" Xia Yan warned. Everyone paused for a moment, and after hearing Chong Bohu sneer and said "Continue", they began to climb again.

At this time, Xia Yan divided the 20 people into four groups, each with three Hu Ben Shield Guards and two Hu Ben Shooters, each guarding a city wall. The other five were used as mobile teams.

"Kill" Xia Yan gave a counterattack order. Four tiger shooters appeared at the mercedes, poked out their bodies slightly, and quickly shot their own arrows at the three groups of "people piles". After screaming a few times, the three groups of people fell to the ground.

This attack came suddenly. When the archers of Chongguo under the city reacted and shot arrows at the top of the city, they had already flashed behind the battlements of the city wall.

When the human ladder was "built" again, the last lesson was learned. The Chongguo archers opened their bows at the top of the city, and shot arrows as soon as the other party showed up. But this time, the Xia Guo's Tiger Bing Shooter never showed up again.

The three heads that had just been exposed on the battlements were pierced by several bronze swords that had been stabbed over. They didn't even wail. After a few thrusts, three corpses fell to the ground from the air that was more than two battles high.

"Don't just attack this side. There are not many people on the other side, and they can't handle it if they attack together." Chong Bohu said in a furious commander.

The crowd under the city immediately divided into more than a dozen strands, scattered to the walls of various sides of the Shoubao, and began to attack together, setting up more than a dozen ladders. However, the ending was that they could only give heads to the other party. After squatting behind the battlements, the Hu Ben Shield Guards wandering along the city walls kept killing the soldiers of Chongguo who had emerged.

"Master, if this continues, our people will be exhausted gradually. Let's build siege equipment first, sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of wood." A close confidant advised Chong Bohu.

"Well... Let's stop the troops for the time being." Chong Bohu said depressedly.

In this era, the so-called siege equipment was to cut down branches and tie them into simple ladders with hemp ropes. Or cut down a relatively large log and hang it with a rope to use it for siege hammers.

After working until dark, Chongfang finally built more than twenty ladders and a siege ram.

Everything was ready, Chong Bohu called the order, and the soldiers rushed towards the city wall with ladders and began to climb upwards. More than a dozen strong men also rushed to a city gate with hemp ropes and carried large logs, and began to hit the gate with the sound of the trumpets.
