In the inner city of Yanling City, Gao Ba, the Hailing Town Warrior, was already staring at the city in a hurry and in vain, and the army of thieves surrounded him was like a forest flag. His heart was also filled with cold waves.

As the chief figure who came to fight against the three thieves in response to the call of Zhou Bao, the governor of Zhenhai, he came to fight against the thieves; the general convener of the Turkish Group in Taizhou. He still didn't understand why his troops and horses suddenly broke down and were defeated at this city.

Compared with Dong Chang, who cares about and favors the countryside and is eager to destroy the thieves; or Zhang Quan, who is determined to win the great achievements of Zhenhai Institute, he is a kind of person who weighs both; because his quality is more mixed than these two, and he has more corresponding demands and thoughts.

Therefore, after the troops were divided from Changtang Hubei, he immediately rushed north to attack the fallen Yanling City; but after he wanted to take this position, he used this opportunity to respond to Zhang Quan's troops who were rushing to help the Dan disciples, and he was somewhat waiting for an opportunity to get a chance to rescue him.

However, along the way, it became the beginning of his disaster and nightmare. First, he was harassed and sneak attacked day and night. Sometimes he suddenly shot arrows from the riverside, and sometimes he was ambushed with a small stream of supplies. At night, he turned into a thrown sultry bottle and a constant harassment.

However, in the face of such a difficult stop and stop, he always had to spend a lot of time on alert and march against the enemy. Although he had many troops and a large lineup under his command, he could not grasp the traces of the other party coming and going like the wind or advancing with evidence, and could not effectively curb and counterattack.

Although he quickly found a way to set up an ambush and used the baggage team as bait to annihilate some of the thieves who attacked the thieves; however, these thieves did not think of killing and seizure, nor did they sting in the consumption of arrows and equipment, and they also had enough mules, horses and boats to carry them.

Although he successfully repelled several times, the other party became more cunning and hidden; he even ambushed and attacked the garrison soldiers who had been chasing them without regard for orders; and piled hundreds of heads on the side of the road. Soon, this annoying formation quickly became exhausted and slowed down in a short period of time.

But then more bad news spread. Because under the perpetual cruelty and rampage of these thieves, most of the powerful households, gentry and clerks along the way were dead and fleeing, but they could no longer provide any cooperation or help to the officials and soldiers.

Although he then indulged his subordinates to clean up and slaughter the mud legs of these farmland industries several times, he took the opportunity to occupy these rural basic pillars and the Jishan Family, and he took revenge and vented his anger for these unfortunate countryside bases and the Jishan Family. However, he still failed to improve his current situation of having nowhere to raise money, so he could only divide his troops and privately think that the troublesome situation of the capital army.

Later, he had to decisively abandon the troops whose morale and fighting spirit were already useless; and he made them step by step rely on the farms, set up garrisons and police whistles along the way, and suppressed those restless mud legs.

Now he finally won't become completely blind and deaf, and he has improved his marching process and gradually compressed and eliminated the thieves' constant activity spare time. However, after he arrived at Yanling City with a somewhat tired and dispersed army, less than half of the troops at the beginning.

Despite this, he still divided a leisurely new force among more than 10,000 troops under his command and launched an attempt to attack the city gate with temporary wooden platoons and long ladders. As a result, he did not see the expected hard fighting and perseverance; the thieves on the top of the city just fired a few rounds of arrows, and then abandoned and fled one after another before fighting with the official army.

So they also raised their morale and rushed in along the unexpectedly taken down the city gate; but found discarded food, supplies and wealth all over the ground, scattered along the streets and overturned vehicles.

So at this moment, Gao Ba could no longer restrain or contain them. The leaders of the town soldiers and the Beibing Group who entered the city first personally led their soldiers to fight for each other's gains, and even spread to the city's willful plundering.

He could only send his confidants to live in the city gate, and personally led the team to forcibly drive out and open up a road from the chaotic soldiers; and rushed straight to the relatively narrow inner city in Yanling City.

However, when he easily seized and occupied the empty inner city, he felt something was wrong, and the city gate where he was originally guarding suddenly rose with fireworks. The other city gates were filled with killing sounds, as if thousands of troops were fighting together, and he was shocked to his left and right subordinates, looking at each other and being shocked.

The Turkish army was even more unbearable when the other soldiers were scattered in the city for money and goods. With the dragons without leaders and fighting on their own, they were almost defeated and driven out of the city yards. Everyone was dressed in disarray or carrying large and small bags, and like a flock of pigs and sheep who were panicking, they were successively dispersed and killed on the streets.

For a moment, screams and scoldings and begging for mercy were heard, rippling in this small-scale city; the bodies that fell and rolled on the ground, the blood flowing from the ground, and the goods that were scattered again; but no one bent down to inspect and pay attention;

These bandits who suddenly came out and gathered in the streets lined up in the array of swords and guns, and bows and crossbows, stepped past without hesitation; like rolling iron streams gathered from all directions, where the inner city with the final resistance was located.

At this time, Gao Ba discovered that everything in the inner city was not good; not only were the door bolts and rollers destroyed, but even the canals and wellheads in the inner city were filled. This was clearly the rest of the arrangement, please let me get into the dead end.

However, he did not show any discouraged look, and instead said to his subordinates happily:

"These thieves were tied up by us. It's up to us to find out where Dong (Chang) Ba Du got the correct letter, that's when those people were destroyed."

Seeing his promised behavior and the promised rewards, he finally settled down the warmth of the people under his command for the time being.

But when he drove his subordinates to use all his strength to congestion the inner city's doors and the soil and rocks he found temporarily to block the enemy from the outside. He began to work hard to deploy defenses on the low and narrow city.

"No. No. No...Okay, the general...Yanei...Yaneidu..."

Another subordinate in charge of searching for the state yamen, rushed over and stuttered.

"What's wrong with Yanei? Didn't I ask you to take someone to remove some materials to use?"

Gao Ba couldn't help but shouted in anger:

"The edges and beams and pillars of the inner yamen are filled with firewood and a lot of grease is also given... "

"What,"

Gao Ba couldn't help but grab the other party and said sternly, but his heart sank like a falling from an ice cellar.

However, the rebels from the inner city calmed down and fell into a temporary quiet that made people feel uneasy; then there was a dull clanging sound. And the waiting and watching wardrobe could not help but shout.

“In the sky…”

“There is something in heaven…”

"Be careful, the thief's stone cannon..."

Then Gao Ba saw many things with burning smoke, passing through arcs and falling into the buildings in the inner city, shattering and splashing large pieces of sparks, which turned into evaporated flames and thick smoke.

In the outer city, on the edge of the special catapult and crossbow. General Lang from the Second Army and chief clerk of Gaozhou Su Wuming also breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to the two leaders of the war-supporting rebels standing beside him:

"It's so good, the overall situation has been decided."

As his voice fell, a loud bang sounded in the inner city gate. However, the doorway that was originally blocked was pushed down and overturned from the inside out, and many figures holding up the group cards and baffles were rushed out; and they tried their best to rush towards the array and defense line defended by the rebels.

“It’s coming just right.”

Su Wuming couldn't help but exclaim.

"In addition to the appearance team and the fire-sucking soldiers, brothers will follow me to kill the enemy..."

As his voice swayed, it turned into a violent whistle. In an instant, many rebel soldiers with crossbows and bent bows stood up on the roofs and walls near the inner city gate. At the moment when the whistle came to an abrupt end, they covered and submerged the officers and soldiers who rushed out of the city gate with waves of arrows and arrows.

A moment later, this vain and desperate counterattack and breakthrough operation declared a complete failure with the corpses piled up on the ground and a few crawling figures with a little groaning in pain.

However, at the other end of the inner city, the only one that has no city gate and is closest to the north of the outer wall. Gao Ba, who was easily dressed up, and more than a dozen loyal soldiers, took advantage of the smoke that kept floating out of the city as a cover; everyone covered their mouths and noses with wet wipes, carefully but not daring to come out, and slowly walked down one by one from the marquee at the wall.

"It's our credit for this..."

Li Guer, the guard of the team, who was wearing a hanging body and leaning on swords, guns and crossbows, was squatting not far away, and said to his follower Wang Yanfu.

"I'm afraid I'm hitting a big fish... I'm ready to blow the whistle..."

.........

Under Dantu City, the preliminary preparations and engineering arrangements for besieging the city have been completed;

In front of the five city gates facing the west, southwest, southeast, and east, there are many earth platforms and watchtowers that are built high and almost close to the city wall, and their trenches and walls connected in a crisscrossing are also stacked in depth and appearing in front of the defenders.

Before some of them were exposed to the pit and fortifications, some of the bodies that had not yet been cleaned up were already scattered; some were small groups of investigators and messengers who wanted to rush out of the city, and some were fugitives who were deliberately released.

Of course, for Zhou Huaian, who was in charge of the central army of the besieged camp and showed his face from time to time, sometimes his subordinates showed unexpected ability, which was also a rare trouble and trouble.

For example, because of the unplanned transition performance and results, the expected enemy was driven away; and the plan to lure the enemy into depth and drag down its momentum, gather and annihilate it or break it up separately was a failure.
