Chapter 371 People's hearts are not yet satisfied (Part 2)

Outside Jiangning City (Shangyuan County), in Shitou Town, Zhang Yu, the third general of the town navy, looked at the crowd of thieves surrounded by mountains and fields with dry mouths. Some regretted volunteering to lead troops to guard the local area.

Since the thieves have been able to fix the flaws here, it is obvious that the Dongshan Shou, Danyang Town, Moling Town, Qishui Town, etc., which were stationed by the Tutuan Army and the town envoys, have disappeared without any consciousness in their own unconscious process.

Now there are only three thousand soldiers and horses in Jiangning City, mainly Shitou City, of which only one thousand are the Zhenhai camp soldiers he brought. The rest are all the local garrison soldiers and united children. In addition, the volunteers and brave soldiers who were temporarily recruited from tens of thousands of local households were only five or six thousand defenders.

Although he had defeated several waves of thieves who came to attack and harass him repeatedly, in the face of the surging thief tide, their roughly repaired Jiangning County was just an isolated island in the vast ocean, or a loose reef between the torrent.

The soldiers guarding the city standing beside him were all weak and their hands and feet became weak. As the saying goes, if there are more than ten thousand people, there are more than ten thousand straw thieves appearing everywhere in the mountains and fields.

The dust and smoke they had swept were completely submerged, and the green and green new blooms on the roads outside the city; and all the whole vision was dyed with a dim tone,

Moreover, these thieves were very different from those who had defeated before, with ragged clothes, only slashed bamboo, pickaxe handle, wooden fork and hoe tip; at least they all had decent weapons and protective gear; and according to a unified shape and style, they were arranged into marching troops that were loose or compact, but clearly spaced.

And at the center of these thieves, the armor light reflected like swim scales in waves, and from time to time, flickering between these vast and silent crowds; this is a sign of the strong and elite soldiers among the thieves.

"This...this...this...this is the old camp soldiers from the thief headquarters. There are even horse teams mixed in. I'm afraid that the big thief is still waiting in front of the formation."

An old military academy of the army also sighed in sarcasm.

"The next one is probably not an arduous death battle..."

"Whether it is a death battle or a bloody battle, we have been deeply grateful to the country for a long time, and there is no reason to be left to die..."

At this moment, Zhang Yu finally came to his senses and said to the left and right remedial style.

"I know the power of horses from afar, but I can see loyalty and kindness in danger, so let these thieves see the interests of the court's military. I have sent someone to ask for help from Danshu. When I heard the news of Zhenhai camp, it will be the time for those who will fall."

Then he added to the defenders who still had little reaction.

"All the soldiers in the city rewards when facing the enemy will be doubled, and the beheading and seizure will be calculated separately, and the next day will be settled; after retreating from the enemy, all the accumulated debts will be compensated, and I will ask for another reward from the Jieya."

"I hope everyone will work hard to kill the thieves..."

Only then did someone shout one after another, and then from uneven Linlin Luoluo, one after another to an impulse and yelling loudly in unison; finally, the morale of the army was a little weak and low, and the morale of the army was inspired and excited in disguise.

With the sound of the enemy's trumpet and the rising battle flags under his command, the city wall, which was originally silent in front of the enemy's situation, ran around as if it was awakened and boiling, and became busy.

"Take the charcoal and boiling water to the city,..."

"Quickly remove more houses on the edge of the city and cure more cannon stones and wood for my camp..."

"I want more tincture oil, since then, private lights are prohibited in the city."

"Quickly hold all the raw ash to the city to fill the cans, and your hands and feet are neat."

"Prepare more hooks, fork handles and long axes to prepare for the popularity of thieves to climb the city,"

"Just add water to the water tank and wooden trough, and it will be too late to set fire to the thief."

At this time, the thieves under the city finally stopped and paused their feet outside the city, and pushed out many large trucks from it like a wave of waves. On these large trucks, there were many blood-dried heads with mosquitoes and flies flying, and they were dumped on the ground one by one and piled up into several small hills, and were inserted into correspondingly seized flags with vaguely visible surnames and numbers.

This stern scene suddenly suffocated the officers and soldiers on the city. Then, thick log pillars cone into the soil and the slightly ropes with leather pockets on them also appeared in front of the defenders on the city with the thieves who had made a retreat. However, they were various whirlwind cannons that had been initially popularized among the rebels.

After a while, as these rotating columns that were shaken and swirled, they suddenly flew out many stones of different sizes like a strong wind, but they were thrown and hit the ground near the base of the wall. Only a few fell on the low parts of the wall and on the city gate, making puff and aggravated sounds.

This result made the official army who was waiting for the battle on the city wall stunned, and then suddenly burst into deliberate laughter. Then they soon couldn't laugh. Because as these whirlwind cannons were constantly re-adjusted, more heavy stones came out and started to fly up to the city wall, and then ping-pong and swept across the chassis, and the officers and soldiers standing behind were blown to the back, screaming in tears, or they could not speak out before they could make a sound.

At this time, a number of triangular houses were pushed out among the thieves, and the rushing cars with stone-like sharp cones hitting their heads began to slowly advance towards the city gate under the cover of a large row with wheel hubs. Only then did the official army wake up like a dream, and they leaned out and bent their bows and arrows to face the rushing cars, shooting fire arrows with smoke marks.

Unfortunately, whether it was the car or the large row of wheel hubs, a layer of soaked and thin quilt was attached in advance, and the dirt was covered with dirt. Therefore, no matter how many or dense the fire arrows fell on it, they could not ignite it as they wished.

"Stop, don't waste arrows anymore..."

Seeing this, Zhang Yu felt something was wrong and hurriedly shouted. It's a pity that most of the defenders in the city had seen such a thief battle formation, and they were very happy to shoot. After all, hesitated and delayed the orders he sent for a while.

Then, in amid the beat of drums and the whistling wind, the archer arrow arrays that had been attracting but were not fired among the thieves burst out with fine arrow rains, and poured on the people and things on the city wall like a splashing rain; it was like a layer of fine hair growing on the city wall centered on the gatehouse.

The defenders who stood up and shot their heads but couldn't dodge were also shot and penetrated them. They leaned down with shrill screams, or fell backwards. There were also a few who were nailed to the edge of the city wall but did not die, and they just knew how to cry out there and cry out loud.

At this time, there was a gong sound, and many light-armed bare-armed thieves holding firewood bales suddenly rushed out of the row. After a jog that was accelerated rapidly, they threw the firewood bundles in their hands into the moat full of shallow mud. A temporary road that had been filled and paved back and forth between several backs and forth, barely allowing the rushing car to step through.

After a few breaths, as the rushing car rushing into the door hole made the first impact sound, the rolling stones falling from the city wall, the boiling water and hot oil were poured into the most intense white heat in a flash.

However, in the following fierce battle, the government troops gathered on the gatehouse tried boiling water, boiling oil, sprinkling ashes, burning fire, and heavy blows, and found that most of the rushing cars standing among the fireworks were still standing still.

And under the quilt and mud that had been dried, burnt and evaporated, and the broken leather, the black luster that only this metal panel had; although it seemed that the pit had been smashed by the fallen object, it still firmly protected the crowds of people moving below.

At this moment, the officials and soldiers in the city also felt something bad. They held the group signs and braved the rain of the sky, pushing a large jar of red charcoal to the side of the wall, and then tried their best to raise and pry it out of the cliff;

Below them, Shiniu, who was a member of the mountain team of the Yimao team, was also lit with a special phosphorus-headed fire-guiding device. The turret was fixed and blocked by the turret itself, and the lead wire of a short-body horn wide-mouth cannon was fixed and blocked on the city gate.

With a faint tremor, dust rolled upside down from the doorway rolled; the rebel soldiers gathered behind the row and shot at the top of the city, as if they were greatly inspired, and the joy and thunderous rush in without any hindrance.

With the panic and noise on the top of Jiangning city, the two-character flag representing the official army was cut off and swayed in the air for several times and disappeared.

"The earth tanks are successful in combat, and the plan is completed..."

Zhou Huaian, who witnessed all this from afar, couldn't help but think in his heart that the man-powered iron frame and steel roof chassis and the special door opening cannon are enough to face most situations in the entire era.

"Is this taken down?"

"It's so easy..."

The several rebel leaders who followed him to watch the battle looked confused and stunned.

"Fortunately, I'm not humiliating my fate..."

Then, Wang Tianming, who was covered in fireworks, held a large flag with broken half and delivered it to Zhou Huaian in his hand, and said loudly.
