"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The second ladder truck and the third ladder truck approached the western section of the south city wall one after another, put down the ladder plate on the car, and hooked the wall battlements of the city wall with a grappling hook.

With the addition of the previous one, the three ladders stood side by side, and lowering the ladder board was equivalent to building a slope outside the city wall, which could be used by the rebel soldiers outside the city to rush straight up the slope of the city wall.

To make matters worse, this 'bar' slope is a full three zhang wide.

The city wall as high as more than two zhang was equivalent to a dirt slope more than two zhang high in front of the rebel soldiers at this time, and almost lost the defensive ability that the city wall should have.

"Kill——!"

Amidst one shout, countless rebel soldiers rushed to the city walls.

Even though Xu Bai, Wang Ping, He Shun and other brigade wolf governors and team leaders led their sharp soldiers to fight hard to kill the enemy, the speed at which they killed the rebel soldiers was still not as fast as the speed at which the rebels rushed up.

"Ahh

With the death of a black tiger thief, there was a gap in the defenses, and the rebel soldiers, who were also armed with shields, forced their way out of the encirclement.

"It's broken!"

At this moment, Ju Sheng stood near the gap and saw with his own eyes that several Black Tiger Thieves were struggling to resist the rebel soldiers who outnumbered them.

He looked left and right, and then at the gap......

He knew very well that as long as he took a few hits of those Black Tiger Thieves at this time, the rebels—or those of his Changsha Volunteer Division, would be able to break through the blockade of the Black Tiger Thieves in one go and occupy a space on the city wall as a stronghold.

Considering that there is a steady stream of righteous soldiers under the city waiting to rush up the city wall with the help of ladder trucks, it is inevitable that the Black Tiger Thieves will be lost, even if these Black Tiger Thieves are the elite of Kunyang......

The city wall fell, Kunyang must fall, although he was captured by Kunyang and forced to surrender to Zhou Hu, but he could not use this credit to return to the righteous master......

"Boom."

After a flash of flickering in his eyes, Ju Sheng drew the saber at his waist, stepped forward in a few steps, and the sharp sword in his hand stabbed into a ...... The body of a rebel soldier.

『…… Huh.'

Looking at the rebel soldier in front of him who was glaring at him with resentful eyes, Ju Sheng secretly smiled bitterly.

Back to the Righteous Master?

How else did he return to the righteous teacher?

Not to mention whether the righteous teacher is willing to accept him again, Zhou Hu's words to him alone made him feel a little guilty about the righteous teacher in his heart.

He was a self-proclaimed righteous teacher, but he refused to exchange a soldier's life for six months' rations. ’

'You want to betray the only one who will accept you in your despair, and help those who turn their backs?' ’

He couldn't refute what Zhou Hu said to him that day, and he couldn't deceive his heart.

That Zhou Hu ...... He has succeeded in instilling in him a distrust of the righteous teacher.

"Plop."

The corpse in front of him slowly fell to the ground, and Ju Sheng drew his sword with an expressionless face.

“……”

“……”

Several black tiger thieves looked at Ju Sheng with incredulous eyes.

"What are you still doing?"

Ju Sheng shouted in a deep voice: "Stop the rebels back!" …… Once you let the opposite side stand firm on the wall, the city wall will not be able to hold it! ”

"Yes, yes."

Several black tiger thieves woke up like a dream, and under Ju Sheng's reprimand, they used the shields in their hands to push the rebel soldiers in front of them in the direction of the battlements.

At this time, Ju Sheng was not idle, and commanded the black tiger thief guards on the city wall loudly: "Don't always think about killing the rebels who rush up, the opposite side is not a rabble, not much worse than you, if I am the commander on the other side, I will never be in a hurry to fight with you at this moment, just force you back...... If you step back, one more of them will climb the wall, and when they outnumber you, the wall will not be kept. Therefore, listen to my command, the sword and shield hand, the sword and shield hand all step forward, don't think about killing the enemy, just make the opposite side insurmountable, spearmen, stand on both sides of the sword and shield hand, and attack the rebels on the ladder with the side......"

"This man...... Who is it? ”

Or there are black tiger thieves who don't know the details of Ju Sheng, looking at each other.

Just when these people were confused, Xu Bai took the lead in shouting: "Everyone, listen to the orders of the commander of the Ju camp!" ”

Xu Bai, who has rich battlefield experience, immediately realized that Ju Sheng's command was correct, and took the lead in corresponding Ju Sheng's command.

With the support of Xu Bai, the brigade wolf's commanders and team leaders also responded one after another, and they changed their original tactics and resisted the rebels' offensive according to Ju Sheng's command.

The effect of this change was obvious, and the Black Tiger Thief Brigade Wolves, who had to retreat again and again, began to gradually regain the lost area, squeezing the rebels who had rushed up the city wall into a small area, and they could not break through the encirclement.

The rebels on the city wall could not advance, so naturally there was no extra space for the follow-up rebels to gain a foothold, and the endless rebels behind could only stand on the ladder and do things in a hurry.

"Give me death!"

Raising a sword and stabbing a rebel soldier to death, the black tiger thief Benmu Liu Tu, who was in charge of the western section of the city wall, kicked the corpse in front of him away, wiping the sweat and blood from his face while looking at Ju Sheng who was giving orders with a shocked expression.

Born as a bandit, he has little experience in tactical command, and his only merit is bravery, so he has only one plan to defend the city: that is, to kill all the enemies.

But obviously, for the rebels who have ladder carts today, his plan is obviously not applicable, because the killing speed of the black tiger thieves under his command is not as fast as the rebels rushing up the city wall.

This led to a scene in Fang Cai, when the battle had just begun, and the black tiger thieves under his command were forced to give up an area, causing more and more rebels to climb the city wall, until Ju Sheng Yue took his place to command, and this scene was changed.

A former rebel general who surrendered to him in Kunyang corrected his mistakes in command......

Coincidentally, as if noticing Liu Tu's gaze, Ju Sheng turned his head to look at Liu Tu, and saw that the latter was staring at him intently, and a little embarrassment appeared on Ju Sheng's face.

Looking at the battle situation around him, which had gradually stabilized, Liu Tu nodded slightly at Ju Sheng, and in an instant, he once again rushed into the crowd with his sword raised, roaring and slashing at the rebel soldiers who were desperately pushing outside with shields in hand.

"Did he acquiesce? Acquiesced to my command?'

Looking at Liu Tu, who took the lead in killing the rebels, Ju Sheng instantly understood the meaning of Liu Tu's nod.

This made Ju Sheng feel a little lucky.

Because he could see at a glance that although this Liu Tuyong was brave, he really lacked experience in tactical command, and if the other party quarreled with him over this, the situation on the city wall would probably be ugly.

Fortunately, the other party was wise on this point and did not consider the matter of 'overreach' at all.

Merely......

Turning his head to look at the rebel soldiers who were trapped by a group of black tiger thieves, Ju Sheng felt a little helpless in his heart.

He used to be a member of the Changsha Volunteer Division, but today he has to be the enemy of the soldiers of the Changsha Volunteer Division......

But Ju Sheng had no choice, he knew that he could no longer return to the righteous teacher, and now he could only offer his loyalty to Zhou Hu. If Kunyang dies, he will be captured by the Changsha Yishi again......

Looking at the attitude of the generals of the Changsha Righteous Division who secretly executed the thirty captured soldiers of their own side a few days ago, it can be seen that the Changsha Army, which claims to be a righteous division, is actually not as righteous as they claim - in this regard, Zhou Hu is much more sincere than those people.

"Ahh

Ju Sheng was awakened by a scream, the scream of a rebel soldier who had fallen from the ladder and fell below the city.

Ju Sheng took a deep breath and said loudly to boost morale: "Okay! Very good! That's it! …… As long as they are blocked, their follow-up people will not be able to come up......"

But this is not the solution to the underlying problem.

He shouted at Liu Tu: "Liu Benmu? Liu Benmu? Liu Tu! ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Tu responded from a distance.

Ju Sheng shouted loudly: "Although the rebels are blocked, the physical exertion of the soldiers in such a competition is too great......

“…… Let's keep it simple!! Liu Tu shouted impatiently while killing in the distance.

Taking a deep breath, Ju Sheng shouted loudly, "Oil! I need oil to destroy the ladder truck outside the city! ”

"You sent someone to urge yourself! …… I authorize you to command, Lao Tzu is not available here now. Liu Tu shouted in the distance.

Hearing this, Ju Sheng immediately instructed several old guards behind him who were acting as his guards: "Hurry, go and urge, the city wall needs oil." ”

"Urging...... Whom? ”

Several old soldiers looked at each other, they had just defected to Kunyang, how could they know the situation in Kunyang.

"Brotherhood!"

Ju Sheng remembered the name, but the question was, how did those old soldiers know who to look for?

In desperation, Ju Sheng could only order: "Go to the city gate tower!" Go to the city gate tower to urge! ”

"Yes!"

Only then did the old soldiers wake up, turned around and ran towards the city gate tower, and after a while, they ran to Sun Xiu, who was in charge of the battle situation in front of the city gate tower, and clasped their fists and said: "General Sun, the commander of the Ju camp ordered me to come and ...... to urge the oil."

Sun Xiu frowned and glanced at the two former rebel soldiers and asked, "What about Liu Tu?" ”

An old soldier clenched his fists and said: "The western section of the city wall is now commanded by the Ju Battalion Marshal, and Liu Tu and Liu Benmu handed over the command to the Ju Battalion Marshal." ”

"Huh?"

Sun Xiu was shocked, walked quickly to the side, and looked at the western section of the city wall from afar.

To his surprise, the battle situation in the western section of the city wall was more stable than he imagined.

"Then Ju Sheng, is it really a rebellion against Kunyang?"

Sun Xiu felt a little incredible, he still felt that Zhou Hu's approach of recruiting Ju Sheng was too risky.

Just as he was thinking, the old soldier hesitated and urged: "General, that oil ......"

"Where's the oil?"

Sun Xiu replied angrily, and immediately, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said in a deep voice: "You wait until you go back and tell Ju Sheng to tell him to defend the city wall, as for the oil, I will send someone to urge!" ”

"Yes!"

Several old soldiers hurried away.

Looking at the backs of these people leaving, a little anxiety appeared on Sun Xiu's face.

He unconsciously turned his head to look at the city gate tower behind him, because there, the resourceful leader of the Black Tiger Thieves was discussing something with Chen Cai, the archsteward of the Brotherhood......

And this is in the city gate tower, on a table, Chen Cai stared at the map of the city spread on the table, while listening to Zhao Yu's request to him.

"Grand Chief, do you really want to do this?" After listening to Zhao Yu's request, Chen Cai hesitated and said.

"It's a last resort."

Zhao Yu said calmly and firmly: "The appearance of the ladder cart has made the role of the city wall minimal, with the existing soldiers on the city wall, we can defend it for the time being, but the price of such a hard defense is to let our elite and the rebels consume each other, and the number of rebels far exceeds ours, and the final result can be imagined." …… Rather than this, it is better to hold the consciousness of abandoning half of the city and drag the rebels into street fighting, and our side is better at fighting with small forces than the rebels who are good at attacking with large forces. …… All in all, I command you to be ready at once, here, here, here...... On each street and alley, an earthen wall is set up every ten zhang. I'd like to see how many of the rebels sacrificed tens of thousands of troops to take the southern wall, and how many sacrifices there are for these streets! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Cai hugged his fists and left.

Looking at Chen Cai, who was leaving, Zhao Yu let out a long breath and looked intently at the map of the city in front of him that he had drawn by himself.

He will make the rebels outside the city understand that even if he breaches his Kunyang wall, it does not mean that he Kunyang can be captured.

The ensuing street fighting will become a lingering nightmare for tens of thousands of rebels outside the city!
