Qiu Bai shook his nose unnaturally, and walked on the city wall for two hours, his mouth and nose were already filled with the smell of corpses, as the rebels continued to attack the city day by day, more and more corpses under the city wall piled up, if you don't deal with it, I'm afraid there will be a plague.

Worried, he couldn't help frowning his eyebrows, at this critical moment, Feng Changqing's condition worsened, and he coughed up blood just after dawn yesterday, so that he couldn't support Shangcheng, so he had to lie on the bed. Fortunately, when he first infiltrated the city, Feng Changqing's identity was just a Sima, and all the military power led by the prison guards was in the hands of Zhang Yan and Qiu Bai. This guard rate is already the last force that Shi Chaoqing can use.

If it weren't for Zhang Yan and Qiu Bai controlling the rate of the superintendent guards after the reorganization, in order to control the soldiers and horses with complex factions inside and outside the city, Fan Yangcheng would have fallen long ago. Now, under tremendous pressure, Shi Chaoqing has gone deep and handed over all the military and political power to the palace staff, which is indeed a manifestation of self-preservation psychology and distrust of foreign ministers. But at this life-and-death juncture, it is time to unite all the factions that can be united, and it is undoubtedly a bad move to keep people out of the door like him.

However, Qiu Bai didn't care if Shi Chaoqing could last long, as long as Fan Yangcheng could hold on until the arrival of Hedong soldiers and horses, it would be enough, and at that time, the internal and external attacks, and the fall of Shi Chaoyi was just around the corner.

Knock knock!

The sound of war drums was steep and loud, Qiu Bai didn't even feel too surprised, Shi Chaoyi's rebel army's siege of the city began again today, and even Zheng Jing, who had always been timid and fearful, was already accustomed to this.

"Shi thief, Shi thief took his life to fill the city today, he, how can he have so many people to send him to death?"

"It's not surprising, Shi Chaoyi must have recruited a lot of stragglers around Fanyang, and then drove the people who had time to flee in the future to attack the city, anyway, it was not the elite main force that was consumed, even if 180,000 horses were killed in battle, or even several times that, what did it matter?"

Shi Chaoyi's rebels attacked the city extremely fiercely, and the rebels guarding Fan Yang began to lose their morale after the initial insistence on the past, after all, they were a rabble, there was no strong core figure, and almost everyone from top to bottom was full of pessimism about the future.

Therefore, Qiu Bai's real concern was the increasingly unstable morale in the city, and at the beginning of the defense of the city, the national guard rate could still kill people and stop the riots. However, since the day before yesterday, the killing has had little effect, and more and more people have openly rioted in the streets, and there have even been incidents of looting and arson for several days in a row. He had always suspected that this was the act of Shi Chaoyi's henchmen hiding in the city, with the aim of causing panic in the city and breaking the morale of the defenders from within.

Now, the purpose of these people has obviously been achieved, and the soldiers and horses of the various factions are becoming more and more obvious to be in line with the yang and yin, and only by his continuous efforts to do everything in detail can the defense of the city continue. Even since yesterday, the defenders guarding the gates have all been replaced by the core men of the prison guards.

However, the rate of supervising the national guard is also improvised, even if the military spirit is relatively stable, its combat effectiveness is not much lower than those veterans who have been fighting all year round.

Zheng Jing lowered his voice, leaned in front of Qiu Bai, and said carefully:

"The last general has long been prepared, but as soon as the king of Hedong arrives, he will immediately change his banner anyway......"

Suddenly, a series of arrows shot up, Qiu Bai hurriedly pushed away Zheng Jing who was talking with his head down, and he hid behind him again, and then lay down, even if the arrows didn't have long eyes, they shot Zheng Jing first.

This change scared Zheng Jing out of a cold sweat, if it weren't for Qiu Bai's quick reaction, I was afraid that this time he would have to be shot into a hedgehog.

"Qiu, Qiu Changshi, Xie, Xie, life-saving grace!"

Qiu Bai stood up expressionlessly, didn't even brush off the dust on his body, and only said very coldly:

"Save you because you are beneficial to the community, otherwise with your crime, even if you are shot to death, you will not be innocent!"

"Yes, yes, what Qiu Changshi has learned is that he will die in the end, and he will definitely correct his attitude and be a person who is beneficial to Changshi Jun!"

There was another rain of arrows under the city, and the defenders of the city moved at this time, although slowly, but mechanically repeating what they had to do every day, and it was impossible for the rebels attacking the city to easily go to the city. Qiu Bai lowered his body, hid his whole body behind the strong woman, and smiled at Zheng Jing:

"What's the use of being good for me, you have to be good to the court!"

Zheng Jing was also not slow, and followed him to sit on the corridor of the city wall, with his back against the battlement.

"The last general must abide by the teachings of Chang Shijun and be a person who is beneficial to the court!"

In fact, Zheng Jing also understood that it was precisely because he still had something to use that the imperial court would accept him anyway and grant him an official position. Otherwise, a living Zheng Jing must be more useful without Zheng Jing's head, at least the head of the rebellion can warn the world of how sad the end of the rebellion is.

The two of you say a word, I say a word, it seems that this offensive and defensive battle has nothing to do with them, but this situation did not last long, and the sudden situation made them have to draw the horizontal knife on their waists to join the battle to defend the city. Because, the rebels of Shi Chaoyi under the city actually climbed the city wall, and the defenders were finally slow to move and failed to attack this wave.

Although Zheng Jing did not act cowardly after Qiu Bai, his whole face was already frightened and turned white, but Qiu Bai, who was half a head ahead of him, was accustomed to this, and he had fought countless battles to defend the city in Hedong, even if it was not uncommon for Hu Bing's rebels to break into the city, but he persevered.

Because of this, Qiu Bai's composure is by no means pretended, there are more than 100 Changqing soldiers around him, with these people as the backbone, it can be said that he is invincible, invincible and unbroken. Within a quarter of an hour, all the rebels of Shi Chaoyi who had climbed the city wall were killed by the wall.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the river of dirty blood, Zheng Jing smacked his lips, only to feel that his throat was on fire, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"This, this ......"

He only felt that everything in front of him was like a dream for a hundred years, and just now his heart had hung in his throat, and he could almost spit it out with one mouth.

Qiu Bai inspected the corpses of the rebels closely, and said secretly: The soldiers used by the rebels in this assault are almost all the elite of the rebels, and they are no longer the rabble used to fill their lives, and it seems that the day when they will launch a final attack is not far off. With this discovery, Qiu Bai became more and more anxious, what was Lu Jiedu and Du Fujun doing, and after half a month in a row, why didn't he hurry up and send troops to Hebei? Do you really want to see this great opportunity missed?

Of course, this is just what he thinks in his heart, even if he doesn't easily confide a word to Feng Changqing and He Chang, let alone Zheng Jing who is at both ends of the rat's head next to him.

"Rest assured. Today is just a fluke for the thieves, as long as the soldiers use their lives to repel the anti-thieves, once His Majesty's army comes back, victory is at hand!"

Qiu Bai shouted loudly, the word "Your Majesty" really shocked people's spirits, and the soldiers and generals in the city had just repelled the attacking Shi Chaoyi rebels, and immediately shouted and echoed:

"Your Majesty is back, invincible!"

For a time, morale rose instead of falling.

Zheng Jing wiped the sweat from his face, but he didn't want to wipe the blood on his hands all over his face, as if he had just crawled out of the pile of dead people.

"Hey, if Your Majesty is here, look at me for such bravery, I won't be a general on the spot......"

He immediately realized that he had lost his words, the so-called "Great Yan Tianzi" was just an arrogant rebel in the Tang Dynasty, and it was really inappropriate for him to speak like this. However, he saw that Qiu Bai didn't seem to pay attention to what was wrong just now, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time secretly reminded him to chase the opportunity, and from now on, he must be cautious and cautious.

Suddenly, only the drums under the city were heard again, and this time even Qiu Bai was taken aback. At this time, He Chang also rushed over with his entourage on the eastern section of the city wall, and when he saw his solemn face, he could know that the situation where he had just come was not better.

"Qiu Changshi, the traitor has attacked the city with an elite, it's not good today!"

He Chang didn't think as much as Qiu Bai, and expressed his worries in person. This frightened Zheng Jing again, and he couldn't help but glance out of the city, and when he saw that the neat military formation under the city was different from before, he couldn't help but feel terrified. He looked at Qiu Bai again, but saw that this Changshi Jun didn't seem to feel strange, as if he had known it for a long time, and he realized that Qiu Bai must have realized this a long time ago, but he didn't say it in public.

Qiu Bai saw that He Chang was so anxious, and he knew that today's situation could not be taken lightly, this person was Feng Changqing's henchman, and he Feng Changqing went from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, and then to the Saibei, and fought for nearly 20 years.

He Chang also realized his gaffe, so he pulled Qiu Bai aside and said with a worried face:

"The rebels are attacking from all sides today, and only He knows that no less than five positions have been stormed on the city wall. If you don't want to think about countermeasures, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be scattered!"

"What does Changshi think, how to deal with it?"

He Chang stomped his foot fiercely and sighed:

"If Doctor Feng hadn't been seriously ill, why would you and I be so careless today!"

complained, but Qiu Bai was shocked that He Chang's square inch was already in chaos, and this chaos was not because Shi Chaoyi's rebels attacked the city with an elite main force, but because Feng Changqing was seriously ill. It's not surprising to think about it, He Chang has followed Feng Changqing for nearly twenty years, and the relationship between the two has long exceeded the relationship between the main general and his subordinates, if it weren't for Feng Changqing's dying life, what else could make the generals who had been born and died on the battlefield for nearly twenty years panic?

Thinking of this, Qiu Bai calmed down, he already understood that he was too pessimistic because of He Chang's panic just now, thinking that the battlefield situation was unfavorable, and with common sense and experience, as long as there was no chaos in the city, it would never be easy for the siege thieves, even if it was Shi Chaoyi's elite thieves.
