Jinling City.

The rebellion in Jiangnan has lasted for more than a month, and the situation in the city has become more and more serious. Whether day and night, all the armors can be seen everywhere in the city. The entire army of officials holding weapons is cruising and patrolling from time to time. The ordinary people almost never leave their homes. The prosperous famous cities and towns in Jiangnan have become depressed.

Officials at all levels in the city were like ants on a hot pan, and they didn't know what to do. Some people asked for the Governor several times, hoping that he would send troops to quell the rebellion quickly, but they were dismissed by the Governor's words in a few words; some people tried to bypass the Governor's yamen and used their own rights to organize troops to quell the rebellion, but they were found out after the matter was a little bit obvious, and then all positions were taken away and placed under house arrest.

The power of the governor as a chief official was fully reflected at this moment. The orders were issued one by one. Not only the officials and the generals, but also the generals who led the troops could only obey the orders and did not dare to make any decisions. Even the governor Xiang Fantian, who held military power, did not dare to send troops on his own initiative. Instead, he went to ask for battle for several consecutive days, but was rejected every time.

Today, he didn't know how many times he asked Governor Wen for a fight in January, but the result was the same. Without saying a few words, he was served tea and sent away. This made Governor Xiang's face even more gloomy when he came out, and the confidants on both sides were even more worthless: "Governor, what does Governor Wen mean? Now there are constant rebellions in Jiangnan. As a local governor, it would be fine if he didn't lead the army to quell the rebellion, why didn't we allow our country to serve, so we might as well..."

Before he could say it, he slapped the confidant in the face and immediately scolded Brahma: "Shut up, you can comment on this matter at will? Since I am a subordinate of the governor, I should obey the orders! Even if I am confused about some of his decisions, I can only persuade him and not take action. You all understand that no one can complain in private. If you dare to violate it again, you will be engaged in military law!"

A wave of reprimand made the trusted people on both sides silent, saying yes, and did not dare to say anything more. They followed their own generals and rode their horses away from the governor's yamen. Their conversation at the yamen was naturally immediately spread to the Governor Wen Ming.

After hearing the report, Wen Ming did not react very clearly. He just nodded slightly, said "I understand", and sent the person away. Until he was the only one left in the room, he muttered softly again: "Towards Brahma..." and then stood up and came to the wall hanging on the topographic map of the huge Jiangnan city, his eyes constantly patrolling above.

This map is surprisingly consistent with the map on Zhao Chenghuang, and it should be from the same version. However, there are some red dots on it. At this time, as Wen Ming added a few more red dots, more than half of the hundreds of Jiangnan cities on the map have turned into eye-catching red.

"In January, half of the Jiangnan wall has been taken down. Then in another month, does it mean that the entire Jiangnan will fall? With the usual reaction speed of the court, I am afraid that it will take at least one and a half months to send troops. Is it still too late?" Wen Ming murmured, looking at the map in front of him, and fell into deep thought, without any sorrow and joy.

...

"Kill... Kill the city! General Guan has an order. Those who climb the city first will reward ten thousand taels of silver, and can be granted ten thousand houses and kill them!" Accompanied by the sound of war drums, the urging shouts made the soldiers of the riots who were still ordinary people or victims yesterday screamed excitedly as if they were injected with chicken blood, and launched a new round of fierce attack on the small county town of Huating.

This is the third wave of rebels' frontal attack against Huating County in just a short time. Although the previous two waves of siege were defeated by the new soldiers defending the city, the enemy's military strength they faced this time was the total of the siege troops in the previous two times, with a total of seven or eight thousand people, which was enough to surround the entire small county town and launch a fierce attack from three directions at the same time.

Fortunately, Huating today has also undergone great changes with the efforts of Li Ling and the people of the county - the originally low and damaged city wall has been repaired, and the city wall is at least three meters high enough to block the enemy's footsteps; and the defense power in the city has also expanded from five or six hundred new recruits at the beginning to more than two thousand.

These two thousand people are naturally mostly young and strong men. However, in terms of military discipline and combat power, they are naturally unable to compare with the new recruits who have been trained before. However, with the determination to guard their homes, they all fought bravely. At least with the help of the city wall and the help of a considerable number of bows and arrows and wooden and stone weapons, they still guarded the county town firmly.

Looking at the rebels who were surging again, Li Moyun, Chang Fan and others couldn't help but lick their dry lips, and then shouted loudly: "Defend home, defend Huating, fight to the death, today!" The defenders in the city also roared the same roar. After the enemy stepped into the attack range, a rain of arrows flew out, covering the hundreds of chaotic troops in front.

However, this time the rebels obviously had the experience of failures several times. Faced with the oncoming arrows, they no longer had the same degree as before, nor did they rush forward again, but suddenly stopped and set up huge shields.

Although there were a few screams mixed in the sound of the shield in the tuk arrows, the damage of the arrows on the city was suppressed to the lowest point. Just as the rain of arrows stopped, the horn sounded, and the siege team composed of thousands of people rushed up like a whirlwind. They quickly rushed past more than a hundred steps, and then the soldiers carrying the ladder also chased them and decisively headed to the city.

A city offensive and defensive battle that was more dangerous and cruel than the previous two battles began. The defenders used limited means to continuously attack the enemy below. The stones as big as millstones and thick rolling woods rumbled down. Often, a piece of enemy troops could be knocked down with one roll, with countless casualties. However, as soon as the enemy was defeated, a new enemy on the other side rose and rushed up screaming.

Although they did not have too exquisite and sharp siege equipment, under the temptation of the ten thousand taels of silver and the illusory marquis of ten thousand households, the soldiers of the chaotic army still had their eyes red and their voices, regardless of casualties. One person fell down, and the people around him did not even look at him, and continued to rush forward; a ladder was pushed down, and the soldiers attached to the top landed together. Someone next to him grabbed the ladder, continued to hit the ground, and continued to attack.

Such a crazy fierce attack was something that the defenders in the city, including Li Moyun and others, had never encountered. The defenders felt unprecedented pressure. In a flash, a corner would be attacked by the chaotic army.

Fortunately, Li Moyun and the others are very good at personal martial arts, so even if there are any omissions, they can arrive in time to fill in the loopholes.

At this time, with a few screams, three bloody generals climbed up to the top of the city. With the roar, one of the generals with huge axes even swung his weapons and cut over the three soldiers who were about to attack him, allowing him to successfully stand firm at the top of the city.

Li Moyun, who had just guarded the gap, heard the movement and glanced at him. He let out a long roar. The man had already rushed over and rushed towards the guy. Unexpectedly, his opponent was not simple this time. He only took a step to the side and then passed by his condescending sword. At the same time, he also took the opportunity to cut down a defender with one knife, causing a significant flaw to appear on the city.

This is a master! Li Moyun immediately understood, and the momentum that I wanted to pounce again stopped, his eyes locked on the other party, and he shouted: "Are you a member of the Luotian Sect?"

The strong man was really serious. He grinned and said loudly: "Luotian Sect tells Xiang Dingkui! You can no longer defend this city!" As he said that, he completely ignored Li Moyun not far away, and quickly retreated to the rear. He thumped a few times, knocked down several defenders behind him, and followed the rebels below to climb up at an astonishing speed.

As he said, as such a high-ranking and powerful figure climbed to the top of the city, the pressure on the defenders increased sharply, and people continued to fall down, and the blockade of the enemy below was no longer effective.

Li Moyun also understood the other party's thoughts at this time. A sharp light flashed in his eyes. After a sharp roar, the person had already rushed out again. The sword light rotated and flew straight into the other party's neck. The speed of this knife was more than three points faster than before, but it showed its true strength.

Chang Fan and others who had already cooperated with him did not make any reservations at this time. They shouted and all went to fight against the enemy who came to the city. Although their martial arts were far inferior to Li Moyun, they were much stronger than ordinary people or soldiers. At this time, they tried their best and actually killed more than ten enemies in the upper city, temporarily stabilizing the vacancy.

On the other hand, Li Moyun's battle against Ding Kui had some problems. The latter was really slippery. When he saw Li Moyun rushing back, he did not fight hard, but quickly turned around and killed other soldiers, which scared everyone away. After seeing his fierce killing method, ordinary defenders knew that they were not his one-to-one enemy.

But in this way, they became a burden to hinder Li Moyun's pursuit, making him unable to dodge his best, and he slowed down and watched the enemy continue to move forward and disrupt the entire city defense line.

Only one person disrupted the entire defense line on the city. If it were in a real army, it would be completely impossible. I am afraid that after this rush, Ding Kui would have died under the sword. But at this moment, these newly trained soldiers and generals were unable to obstruct him because of fear, and it would be a sign that he could sweep the whole city with one axe.

Wherever he went, it would inevitably lead to chaos in the defenders on the top of the city. In this way, as the enemy below came to the city, Li Moyun could only put out the fire and killed the enemy, and the distance with him became wider and wider.
