"Crazy, crazy!" Zhang Chao stabbed to death a refugee who poked his head out from behind the female wall with a sword, and when he saw Zang Hong rushing over, he hissed: "Is it the child who leaked the secret?" ”

"What secrets does he have to leak?" Zang Hong glanced at Zhang Chao speechlessly.

"So what's going on?" Zhang Chao also knew that he was talking nonsense, let's not talk about how much the kid knew? Even if it was really the other party's meticulous work, he didn't have the ability to make these tens of thousands of people go crazy and attack the city, frowning and saying: "If it goes on like this, Qu Yang is afraid that it won't be able to support it for a few days." ”

If these homeless people say that their strength is vulnerable, but they are crazy like now, after all, they have a numerical advantage, they are so desperate to rush up, the morale of the defenders is still second, and more importantly, those young people who have been shown to come have been frightened by this momentum.

If these people retreated, in this case, how could those three or five hundred county guards alone be able to stop these crazy hungry people?

Fighting, fighting is momentum, before tens of thousands of displaced people gathered around, just a wave of arrow rain can make them chaotic, in this case, even if there is a huge difference in strength, no one will be afraid, but now it is different, these people don't know what evil they have hit? Zhang Chao saw an unarmed homeless man climb up with his own eyes, without any extra movements, just biting the neck of the defender, and what flashed in his eyes was not hatred or anger, but a desire that Zhang Chao had never seen before, a desire for food!

Perhaps in the eyes of these people, the soldiers defending the city have become food, and in the face of such an enemy, Zhang Chao was a little panicked.

"For the time being, there is no way, I can only hold on, this kind of momentum, but it can no longer be stopped, as long as I keep it today, I am afraid that tomorrow will not be able to be like this today." Zang Hong held the sword in his hand, and his expression was a little solemn: "As long as you hold on to today, there will be a way to reverse the tide of the battle." ”

"How to reverse?"

"Mess with their hearts!" A flash of fierceness flashed in Zang Hong's eyes, and he stabbed a Taiping Sectist down the city with a sword!

"What's the mess?" Zhang Chao breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice.

"Hang a cloth on the city wall, as long as you are willing to surrender, you can not blame the past, and give grain, but you need to take the head of a Taiping disciple to come!" Zang Hong smiled.

"How many of these tens of thousands are literate?" Zhang Chao shook his head when he heard this, this strategy is not very reliable.

"There are still some, the most important thing is the Chen family." Zang Hong held the sword in his hand, looked at the dense crowd outside the city, and smiled: "It's a test." ”

"A ten-year-old child!" Zhang Chao is not hopeful about this, what can a ten-year-old doll do?

"But what he's done so far, a lot of people can't do." Zang Hong said with a smile.

Another wave of onslaught, Zhang Chao no longer cared about theorizing with Zang Hong, and began to wander with his sword.

……

In the Taiping army's array, looking at the city wall that had almost been breached several times, Zhou Fang couldn't help laughing: "Okay, good, pass on my military order, divide the army into four units, encircle on all sides, before today, launch a fierce attack, be sure to break through this city!" ”

The morale of the generals was also brought up by the momentum of today's army, and they responded to the order one by one, and each went to command the men and horses and divide the troops to attack the city.

The defenders at the head of the city were desperately resisting, and suddenly felt the pressure relaxed, Zang Hong frowned and looked outside the city, but saw that the Taiping army outside the city began to divide into a large number and went to the other two sides.

"Not good!" Seeing this, the county lieutenant was shocked, turned his head to look at Zang Hongdao, and said: "Zang County Order, the thieves are going to divide their troops to attack the city!" Our army is under-strengthened, and it may be difficult to resist! ”

"Good thing!" Seeing this, Zang Hong was overjoyed and said: "The thieves don't know the art of war, they are surrounded on all sides, there is no way out of the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city have no way out, when you resist desperately, you are stationed here, 100 people are in me, I will mobilize the people in the city to go to the city!" ”

"Whoa!" After hesitating for a moment, the county lieutenant nodded in agreement, and ordered a group of men and horses Yu Zang Hong, Zang, Zang Hong led the men and horses down the city wall quickly, and went to the city, but did not go to other city walls to garrison or find people, but just placed the men and horses near the government office to protect the government office, and then recruited an entourage to the city to persuade the rich families in the city to help defend the city.

Previously, Zhang Chao and Zang Hong invited the gentry in the city to defend the city together, but most of them were unwilling, but now looking at the posture of the Taiping army, once the city is broken, it is not only the government office that suffers, but they also have to be unlucky, in this case, even if Zang Hong does not say it, these people will take the initiative to help, after all, if Quyang is broken, the most unlucky person may not be Zhang Chao as the county commander.

After a while, the wealthy gentry in the city got the news that the Taiping Sect was surrounded on all sides, the defenders could not resist the enemy, many city walls were lost, and even some Taiping Sect people rushed into the city.

At this time, there is no need for Zang Hong to say anything, those rich and wealthy gentry spontaneously took their families and enemies, more than hundreds, and as few as twenty or thirty people, although not as good as the imperial army, but much stronger than ordinary people, Zang Hong appeared at the right time, helped to plan the plan, and finally before nightfall, these Taiping cultists who entered the city were exterminated or expelled from the city.

After this battle, these rich gentry did not dare to hide their private interests anymore, each handed over the soldiers of their families, to assist in defending the city, at the end of the day, although the county guards of the city suffered heavy losses, but Zang Hong and Zhang Chao in the hands of the troops did not decrease but increased, just these rich gentry sent more than 900 people, plus the people in the city learned that the Taiping Sect had surrounded Quyang on all sides, volunteered to help, overnight, recruited more than 6,000 people, most of the men in the city went to the city.

"If this was the case, how could we be today?" Everything was done, it was late at night, looking at many burned houses and corpses in the city, Zhang Chao sighed, if these people actively cooperated at the beginning, why did they fight so hard? Perhaps before the Taiping Sect became a trend, it was able to completely defeat this Taiping Sect army.

"If it weren't for what is happening today, how would they do their best?" Zang Hong sat down a little tired, shook his head and smiled, some things, judging from the results, may be simple, but human nature is often greedy and selfish, and if it doesn't come to this point, there will always be people who are lucky.

"Now that there are enough troops, can you take advantage of the situation to attack?" Zhang Chao looked at Zang Hong and asked.

"The county guards are less than two hundred, and the men and horses sent by each family to defend the city are acceptable, if it is an attack, it may not be useful, if you want to raid, you should use the elite, how can Quyang be elite at this time?" Zang Hong shook his head, the Taiping army is a rabble, and their side is not much worse, defending the city is okay, but if they go out of the city to attack, those people will not be able to use it in the first place, and if the remaining more than 1,000 people are not able to find it, it will be easy to go out of the city and return to the city.

"According to what I said, if the Taiping Sect misses today, there will inevitably be chaos inside, and the Chen family will always be useful." Zang Hong smiled and patted Zhang Chao's shoulder, then turned his head and walked out.

"Where is Ziyuan?" Zhang Chao got up and said.

"I'm sleepy!"
