Song Dynasty

Chapter 189 The Troubled Lu Benzhong
It was already late at night, and Kong Xian and Kong Lin had been surrounded for more than two hours.

The enemies outside didn't know what kind of confusion they had committed, so they lit the lanterns, so that their every move fell into Kong Xian's eyes.

Relying on the favorable location and the divine arm bow, he suppressed the enemy so tightly that he couldn't lift his head.Moreover, judging from the posture of the dental soldiers, they didn't seem to have any fighting spirit. They just lowered their heads behind the ruined walls, rushed forward a few steps after hearing the order to attack, and retreated after eating two arrows.

Kong Xian fought for a long time, and felt that he was really a bit of a man in charge, and Wan Fu couldn't open it.At the beginning, he was still a little afraid, but he barely supported it with the hatred in his heart.Up to this moment, the fear was gone, and the whole person was relaxed.

He looked back at Kong Lin who was winding the string behind him, after all, she was just not a weak girl.How powerful is the power of the divine arm bow, at this time she was already staggering, and she couldn't hold on anymore.

Goodbye, her fingers have been cut by the bowstring and wrapped in sackcloth, with red liquid oozing out of it.

After stringing the crossbow, Kong Lin picked up the knife that her elder brother had chopped off and sharpened it vigorously on the bluestone floor tiles on the ground.

The sweat fell drop by drop, and it accumulated in a puddle in an instant.

Kong Xian felt a pain in his heart: "A Lin, you have worked hard too, let's rest for a while, I am here!"

Kong Lin didn't speak, just shook her head, and her hands moved faster.This little girl has not spoken since her mother passed away, which shows the extent of the pain in her heart, she just keeps busy to make herself forget all this.

The sound of sharpening knives can be heard all over the world.

"Sister, stop grinding, stop grinding." Kong Xian stretched out his hand to grab it.

"Let me go!" There was a stubborn gleam in Kong Lin's eyes.

At this moment, suddenly, a booming sound from the wall interrupted their conversation.

Kong Xian's body trembled, and he couldn't figure out where the sound came from.

Suddenly, Kong Lin called out: "Brother, the thieves are digging the wall, hurry up."

She immediately picked up a crowbar and ran to the place where the sound came from, prying hard on a wall brick.

"Let me do it!" Kong Xian snatched the iron rod, and with all his strength, unloaded one of the blue bricks.I saw that the walls were full of planks.

It turned out that Kong Yanzhou's Xingyuan was originally the house of a rich family in the city.The houses of famous families in the south lived in a concentrated family, and in order to prevent theft, a layer of wooden boards would be sandwiched in the walls.At night, if a thief digs a wall, once it hits a wooden board, it will make a loud noise, and it will spread far away, using the sound transmission principle of later generations of physics.

On the other side, the enemy was still digging, the planks shook slightly, and the rumble was even louder.For a moment, Kong Xian felt a little at a loss, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, there was a "swoosh", and the loud sound of wind echoed in the room.

A crossbow shot out of the string and shot directly through the wooden board.

It was Kong Lin who shot the arrow. The power of the divine arm bow was so great, and it was fired at close range, and it shot through the wooden board in an instant.
There was a fierce scream outside, and then someone yelled: "Lao Lin has been shot by an arrow, go back, go back!"

"A Lin!" Kong Xian looked at his sister in astonishment.

Kong Lin's petite body trembled slightly, but her face was full of determination: "Brother, it seems that you and my brother and sister are going to die here today."

Kong Xian felt sore: "A Lin, I promised my mother that I would protect you, and I will do what I say."

Kong Lin shook her head: "Brother, you don't need to comfort me. I know what's going on outside. Don't worry, even if I get to that point, I won't blame you. Even if I get to the ground and see my mother, I will feel at ease. She said go."

Kong Xian's tears fell down.

Just as he was about to cry, a pancake was stuffed into his mouth, followed by his younger sister's firm voice: "Brother, don't cry, your eyes should be used to see the thieves outside, don't be blinded by tears. Eat fast, eat enough You will have the strength to fight. Even if you and my brother and sister die, we will have to drag two thieves to hell together."

"Well, I want to be strong, I want to be strong." Kong Xian bit the pancake hard.

He had been preparing for today's situation for a long time, not only filled the room with weapons, but also moved in a large vat full of water in advance, and baked more than [-] catties of pancakes.

The two brothers and sisters stopped talking and just ate pancakes.

……

Outside, seeing a few soldiers digging the wall back, Kong Yanzhou yelled: "A group of idiots, go to a few more teams and dig in several directions at the same time, and I dug through this house."

After a period of rage, he regained his composure, and a veteran of the field returned.Street fighting like this is no stranger to him, so it's nothing special.Because of the terrain, there is no way for troops to start street fighting. You can only throw small groups of soldiers into the narrow terrain, and the sacrifice is huge.

To successfully deal with the enemy, the best way is soil work.Aren't you hiding in the house? I just tore down the wall and knocked down the guards. Let's see how you can hide?
Hearing this, Lu Benzhong hurriedly suggested: "General Kong, you can't do it!"

Kong Yanzhou: "Why can't you do it? What's your opinion?"

Lu Benzhong said loudly: "General, next to the house of the Major General are the yards of the wives. If you dig the walls from all directions, it is not good to startle the wives. If people know about it, it will not be good for the general's reputation."

"This...how about setting the fire to burn that little beast out?" Kong Yanzhou pondered, although he was a beast.But people still have to face, Kong Xian's room is surrounded by the yards of other concubines.If the walls are dug from all sides, and these big soldiers come and go in and out of the concubine's room, how can I save my face?What's more, old man Lu said this in front of everyone.

Lu Benzhong said again: "You can't let the fire go, the sky is dry and the things are dry, and there is already a shortage of water in the city. The wind is strong today, and if the fire burns up, I'm afraid it can't be controlled. Maybe the general's entire shaft will be burned to nothing. Where do you live when?"

Kong Yanzhou: "I just need to find another place."

"The general's words need to be discussed." Lu Benzhong said seriously: "So many people have died in this city, and the corpses are everywhere. It's very dirty. Where can I find a clean place to avoid the plague. Besides, the fire Come together, in the middle of the night, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable, if the battalion is blown up, we will be finished."

"It's reasonable." Kong Yanzhou nodded: "Since we can't dig walls and holes, and we can't set fire to them, why don't we get some punching carts and door-sealing carts?"

"The general is wrong again. These defense equipment are all placed on the city wall, and they are heavy. How can they be moved in a hurry? Besides, if the equipment is removed, how can the Sizhou army resist it once the Sizhou army attacks?"

Kong Yanzhou felt impetuous when he heard that, and shouted: "It doesn't work, it doesn't work, what are you going to do? Could it be that we just watched the little beast run amok over there, but there is nothing we can do?"

Lu Benzhong saw that his eyes were full of hostility, so he knew not to overdo it, and hurriedly said: "If you don't call the craftsmen to come here to remake a few plug-door knife carts, it will only take an hour. By the way, you can also make red carts." One."

Having said that, he pointed to his side, "If you build an archery tower here, don't worry, Kong Xian will not be able to last long without water and food in the house."

Kong Yanzhou thought it was true, nodded, and told the soldiers to go down to prepare, and then shouted: "Archer, come here, shoot at the door and window for me?"

With an order, dozens of bows and crossbows were fired at the same time, and the feather arrows as dense as migratory locusts instantly occupied the eyes.

In a blink of an eye, the opposite window was shot to pieces.

Lu Benzhong suddenly shouted: "Stop, stop, stop."

All the soldiers withdrew their hands and looked at Lu Benzhong inexplicably.

Kong Yanzhou yelled angrily: "Old man, what kind of tricks are you playing, is it over yet?"

Lu Benzhong hurriedly said loudly: "General, I can't shoot any more. It's not that the old man is worried about shooting Kong Xian. Think about it, General Kong Shao is hiding in the room and holding a strong crossbow to resist, but the feather arrows in his hand must be limited. One shot is one less. Now you give him a rain of guns and arrows, and you have to beware of Kong Boyuan coming to borrow arrows from a grass boat."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all stunned: there is such a saying?
Kong Yanzhou cursed: "Damn it, what are you talking nonsense about, straight mother, you think I'm a fool?"

At this time, suddenly, Kong Xian's clear voice came from inside: "Thank you, General Kong, for the arrow."

Then, with a whoosh, an arrow shot out.

Hearing the sound of breaking through the air, Lu Benzhong couldn't control where it landed, and immediately hugged his head and shouted: "It's out, it's out, run!"

In the dark night, people are most afraid of being shocked by the army. One man raises his arms, and ten thousand men respond.Everyone was not in the mood to fight this battle, so they shouted at the same time and ran away.

It took a long time for Kong Yanzhou to gather his troops again.

At this time, his face was already distorted with anger, and he said bitterly: "Okay, okay, don't rush to shoot arrows, let's finish the siege equipment first."

When the craftsmen came over and prepared the wood and iron nails for making the equipment, another hour passed.

As the sky gradually dawned, Liu Fu ordered people to reward the soldiers with wine and food.

Kong Yanzhou's shoulders were swollen and painful, and his head was a little dizzy. When he touched it with his hands, he felt a little hot.But at the same time, the vest was slightly cold, and goose bumps couldn't stop popping out.

He knew that his wound was inflamed, and it was normal to have a fever.

He had asked the doctor to wash the knife wound on his shoulder with clean water, and then stitched it up and applied medicine.If it wasn't for the fecal poison that Kong Xian vomited from the knife edge, even the inflammation would not have occurred.Although it is a bit troublesome now, with my strong body, I will be fine after taking two doses of medicine and the fever subsides.

However, the feeling on the body is really uncomfortable.In particular, the swelling and itching went up along the meridians of the shoulders and neck to the temples, causing pain on one side of the head.

He was a little unbearable, just ate bowl after bowl of wine, and soon became very drunk.

Strange to say, although the body is uncomfortable, the internal fire is extremely strong.

Thinking of Kong Lin's graceful figure, the heat in her lower abdomen could no longer be contained, especially after knowing that she had no blood relationship with him.
