。 About 5,000 rebels were completely suppressed under the city wall, and the space under the city wall was limited, and they could only be crowded together, which greatly facilitated our army's killing, and every wave of arrows and rolling logs and stones of our army would take away a large number of rebels.

In the face of the harsh blows of our army, the rebels were almost frightened, they even gave up climbing, dozens of ladders were erected on the city wall alone, not long ago, a large number of soldiers were attached to them, and soon these ladders were also knocked down and smashed.

In order to meet their own soldiers, the follow-up rebels also fought desperately, one by one, regardless of the bombardment of our artillery, frantically rushed to the city wall, and finally more than 2,000 people broke through the blockade of our army and drove under the city wall. Most of the firearms in the hands of these people are three-eyed guns and crutch guns that can be used continuously. As soon as they reached the city wall, they opened fire, and many of our soldiers who were holding rolling logs and stones were hit......

The battle continued into the afternoon, and the rebels still did not capture even an inch of the wall. Obviously, the rebels were unwilling to stop there, and they were like iron men, tireless and undaunted by death, unleashing one assault after another on the walls.

Our army's gunpowder has been exhausted, and everyone has to pick up bows, crossbows, spears, and rolling wood and stones to tear down the rebels.

After more than an hour, our army had only more than 1,500 troops still able to continue fighting, and I had to order that 1,000 men should be transferred from Zheng Hongyi, the commander of the military guard who was a reserve, to participate in defensive operations.

The sky was dark and tore up for a day, and the last ray of sunshine news was in the west, and King Cheng, who knew that it was impossible to capture the city wall today, finally ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Looking at the retreating rebels, I finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief. I had expected the motivation of the battle, but I didn't expect it to be so intense, and I even suspected that the capital might be lost today. Fortunately, our army has won! Maybe it was only a short-term victory, but after this battle, I have more confidence in the future battles.

After counting the results of the battle, the casualties of our army were very staggering, and the original 3,500 people stationed in the garrison, plus the 1,000 people who came up, reached a total of 4,500 people. But when the rebels retreated, only 1,600 remained!

I was secretly annoyed that if there was enough gunpowder, our casualties would be many, much less.

The rebels also paid an even heavier price, with rough estimates putting casualties at least fifteen thousand or more.

Not long after, Cai Mingbo led his subordinates to take over the defense, and the soldiers who had fought for a day could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and staggered down the city wall. They didn't even feel the pain when they broke their heads and bled out, and fell asleep directly. Several soldiers walked over and helped them back to the barracks.

I hugged Luo Rou and Xue'er, dragging my lead-filled feet towards the arrow tower.

Wei Dayong, who was covered in blood and had a blade in his hand, immediately followed.

"Dayong, you have worked hard to go and have a good rest!" I reached out and patted Wei Dayong's shoulder and said with concern.

Wei Dayong's face did not have any waves, and he stood straight: "Yes, my lord." The villain is outside the arrow tower, if the adult has any instructions, just call the villain! ”

I didn't care about him anymore, and walked into the arrow tower with Luo Rou and Xue'er. After a while, there was a heavy snoring sound from inside the arrow tower.
