The north gate of Qiantang is still closed, and there is no sign of opening the door. The remnants of the Heavenly Division Army that attacked the enemy camp could no longer hold on, there were pursuers in the rear, and there were obstacles in the front, and sooner or later they would not be able to withstand being trapped in the middle ground. Many of the foot soldiers who retreated to the city wall first couldn't help but shout loudly to open the door and open the door, and there was a tendency to collapse, but the damn Fuzhou soldiers bit the back tightly, did not rush to attack, and did not collect troops to return to the camp, clearly with bad intentions, if the city gate was opened at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But it can't be because of ignoring the comrades under the city, that would have a big blow to the morale of the army, and the people sent out were all the elite of the Heavenly Master Army, and they were completely lost in the first battle, and they couldn't explain to Du Mingyu and the Heavenly Master Army.

Liu Yan stood on the wall, his eyebrows locked, he underestimated Qiu Yuan, thinking that this time the stealing camp was nine out of ten, even if it could not be completed in one battle, at least it could greatly damage the enemy's vitality, but he didn't expect it to be the tricky situation in front of him.

Yangzhou, an important town of the country, cannot be underestimated. The Fuzhou soldiers have lost the most warlike Mo Yundu, and it is still such a hard bone to gnaw, it seems that it is necessary to report to the little god, if the war in other counties goes well, we must hurry up and send more troops to Qiantang.

However, that's all for later, this hard bone in front of you, no matter what the cost, must be gnawed down, eaten up and wiped clean, and not even a little residue can be left.

Only in this way can we lure the Chinese army sitting in Jinling to go out and kick off this good game of chess with the world as a game!

"Archer!"

Liu Yan ordered to go down, and the heralds waiting on the left and right galloped at the head of the city with the order flag in hand. A moment later, a large number of archers appeared behind the battlements, and the sharpshooters first shot five arrows to measure the range and distance, and then opened their bows and threw them, a dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the sharp sound of the hammer pierced the sky, making people shudder.

Li Erniu is a captain of the Yangzhou Prefecture Army, only nineteen years old, because of his great strength and fear of death, he was promoted to the commander of the army after only five months as a soldier. This time he went out with the army, he has been holding back his strength to make a head, and when he is promoted, he will increase his salary, so that he can go home and marry a daughter-in-law who is easy to give birth to. The old lady can't see it, as a filial son, he must let the old lady close her eyes and hug her grandson, so the first to attack Qiantang, Li Erniu is going to decide!

Their team's attack sequence is not very advanced, although everyone obeyed the military order and did not rush too fiercely, maintaining a complete offensive front, but the road was slippery in the dark, Li Erniu held a long knife, followed behind his comrades, and killed three lone thieves in succession, the bloody breath was like a leech, crazy to drill into the mouth and nose, there was only one thought in his mind, kill, kill, kill!

I don't know how long it took, Li Erniu felt that the noise around him seemed to be a little quieter, and it was no longer so crowded, and he suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that he had reached the forefront of the pursuit.

Through the torches, he could clearly see the face of the thief soldier of the Heavenly Master Army, green, dark, and rough skin showed that he was also a child of a peasant family, with a trace of fear and panic in his eyes, and it was estimated that he was not a veteran who often went to the battlefield.

With blood on his face, I don't know if it's his own or someone else's, the knife in his hand hangs diagonally on the side of his leg, and he can feel his whole body trembling from a few meters away.

Li Erniu grinned, the young thief was a little confused, he didn't know why this bison-like sturdy guy was laughing, and then his neck hurt, and the blood in the sky filled his eyes, and then he didn't know anything.

Four!

Li Erniu happily counted the heads, and killed two more, the heads of the six armor soldiers could be upgraded to one level, which was enough to do a long time, so there was no need to rush to the advanced city, after all, although the merit of ascending first was great, it was too dangerous, and if you couldn't die inside, who would take care of the old lady?

Li Erniu casually cut off the left ear of the corpse, which is also called 聝, and used it to replace the first rank as a performance appraisal for military merits. He licked his lips, just as he was looking for his next target, when he suddenly heard the screams of his comrades.

"Spread out, spread out!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly......"

"You can't retreat, rush forward, rush to the range of the longbow, and you can live!"

"Shieldman, shield, raise the shield!"

Li Erniu was full of excitement, almost his hair stood on end, his head was not raised, he took the knife into his arms, rolled on the spot, pulled the corpse of his companion and covered his body, and luckily avoided the first wave of arrow rain. But a few people in the same army were not so lucky, three of the four fell to the ground and died, not far from Li Erniu, he could even see Li Shi from the same village was shot in the eye by an arrow, and it came out of the back of the head, and the blood stained his head and face, and the death was unbearable.

The first wave, the second wave, the third wave......

The rain of arrows continued to fall on the dividing line between the warring sides, but this kind of large-scale projectile could not achieve accurate killing, and there were also many armor soldiers of the Heavenly Master Army who also fell under the arrows. Although the price was heavy, it also succeeded in separating the Fuzhou soldiers and the Tianshi army, and at the same time, the city gate was opened, and 500 armor soldiers rushed out, waiting for work, and the Fuzhou soldiers who fought were caught off guard. The more than 100 cavalry, which had almost no casualties, immediately turned and rushed forward, harassing the perimeter and flanks, and successfully covering the remnants of the foot soldiers into the city.

Qiu Yuan commanded the army to attack tentatively, feeling that it was difficult to break through the defense line of the Heavenly Division Army in a short time, and there was a lack of large-scale siege equipment, so he slowly shrank his troops and returned to the camp.

In this night battle, both sides did not exert all their strength, and immediately separated after careful contact, the Tianshi army suffered more than 300 casualties, ninety percent of them were foot soldiers, and the Fuzhou soldiers only suffered more than 30 casualties.

And Liu Yan was able to decisively send people to steal the camp when the Fuzhou soldiers were not firmly established, which shows that he is bold, and if something goes wrong, he can also discuss the pros and cons in an instant, and the strong man breaks his wrist, showing his decisiveness. Standing high in the city, if the command is determined, he can also be called a general, which is not much inferior to Qiu Yuan's prudence.

Early the next morning, Qiu Yuan erected the handsome flag, issued instructions, boosted morale, and built a light and simple wooden and bamboo flying ladder, and waited until the afternoon, from the north gate and the west gate at the same time to launch an attack, with the west gate as a feint, the north gate as the main attack, regardless of casualties, in order to conquer the city in one day.

The first to ascend, give slaves and maids eighty mouths, silk color thousand paragraphs, money 100,000, and two levels of promotion!

Li Erniu was lucky to pick up a life last night, and his army no longer existed, so he was assigned to another army as a captain, and his merits for killing the enemy were also recorded, and he would be rewarded for his merits when the battle was over. Hearing the many rewards in the military order, Li Erniu only felt that his head was hot, his eyes were red, and he didn't care about the luck and fear of secretly feeling the rest of his life after the catastrophe this morning, and immediately found the chief and asked to be a pioneer. Shi Chang scolded him, kicked Li Erniu to the ground directly on the buttocks, and whipped him with a whip.

This chief fought ineffectively last night and was reprimanded by name, if nothing else, Li Erniu will take over his position, so he held back a breath of anger in his heart, and did it all with his strength.

Li Erniu curled up with his head in his arms, his angry lungs were about to explode, he could knock Shi Chang down with one punch, but he didn't dare to fight back, the army was strict, and the following crimes were capital crimes, so he could only endure it, and he had to endure it!

The old lady in the family is helpless, if her head is lost by the marching law, the old lady can't even get a pension, it will be a big loss!

It happened that Qiu Yuan was passing by on inspection, and when he saw this scene, he sent someone to inquire, and learned that Li Erniu had asked for battle, and he praised his bravery very much, and found out that he had killed four thieves last night, and asked him to replace the post of chief who beat people on the spot, and transferred him to serve in the main attacking army.

There were a total of ten Fuzhou soldiers in this campaign, and the vanguard was a well-known warlike division in the Governor's Mansion, second only to Moyundu of the former Governor Liu Quan.

"Li Erniu, you want to be a pioneer, but you have to lose your head, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid!" Li Erniu wiped the whip marks off his face and said loudly: "When you are a soldier and eat food, you want to seek wealth and officials, and if you are afraid of death, you will not come to join the army!" ”

"Good!" Qiu Yuan himself is a rough martial artist, and he likes a wild and untamable man like Li Erniu the most, so he took out his sword, threw the scabbard to him, and said: "Reward you, if you can climb first, then reward this sword of Ben Shuai!" ”

Li Erniu bowed to the ground excitedly, and had the idea of repaying death in his heart.

In the afternoon, before the time came, the war drums shook the sky, and 15,000 Fuzhou soldiers rushed to the north and west gates, and Qiu Yuan only left a reserve of 5,000 people, showing his determination to become a benevolent if he did not succeed.

The bloody battle in Qiantang is officially on stage!

Xu You sat in the room, listening to the shouting and killing sound in his ears, and leisurely sipping tea. An Yuxiu was a little restless, and in an instant, she had already gotten up three times, walked to the window and looked in the direction of the city gate, her pretty face was full of worry and anxiety.

"Lang Jun, when will the help you said come?"
