In the early morning, the sun shines through the dense forest, and the sudden rise in temperature shrouds the forest in a fog.

Soldiers sat in twos and threes, holding iron lunch boxes and drinking hot porridge.

Before camping yesterday, the scouts captured two deer, and this morning, the soldiers ate venison porridge.

An abundance of starch and protein will give these fighters energy for the day.

After a while, the soldiers, who had finished drinking the porridge, washed their lunch boxes by the stream, and then packed up their personal belongings and assembled in platoons.

After a pillar of incense, groups of soldiers began to pull out one after another.

Today, I had to rush to Tongzi Town, which was seventy miles away, and I had to eat lunch on the road.

Last night, at the daily routine platoon meeting, the platoon commander had already explained to each soldier the route of today's march, climbed a mountain, and waded two rivers, and everyone was mentally prepared.

Let every soldier know his or her own tasks, this is what Zhu Youzhen specially requested at the beginning of the founding of the new army, so that every soldier knows his own importance, and can stimulate the subjective initiative of soldiers.

Although Lu Xiangsheng didn't understand it at first, the spirit of the soldiers who were not afraid of hardship and tiredness during this march also made him understand the benefits of doing so.

Soon, the team passed through the jungle, and in front of it was a gentle slope, and the soldiers turned on their horses, and the speed of the march was immediately much faster, and it should be no problem to reach Tongzi before the sun set.

Just when the new army was marching out, hundreds of miles away in Guiyang, a bloody battle soon began with a war drum.

Yesterday, the rebels had already attacked the city wall, and the morale of the rebels seemed to be a little higher, and even the big tent of the Chinese army had advanced a mile, and a banner of Anzi had also rushed to the position of the front.

"Whether you can defend the city or not is today."

On the city wall, looking at the rebels who were surrounded by black pressure, Lu Qin's hand holding the knife trembled a little.

Looking at the position of the rebels, today is rushing to break the city, a hard battle is inevitable, if it wins, then Guiyang should not be able to break the city within a month, if it is defeated, it is a dead city broken.

After the horn of the siege sounded, Wang Yan and Shi Yongan also climbed the city wall, and when they saw the siege army with twice the number of people than yesterday, their hearts suddenly cooled.

"Wenchang? How good is that? ”

Wang Alkali was cold, and called Lu Qin's words, and yesterday's side by side battle made the relationship between the two a lot.

"My lord, success or failure is up to today!"

Lu Qin didn't say much, but Wang Yan already understood, and without saying much, he hurried to the government to arrange for Ding Zhuang in the city to go up to the city wall.

Unlike sieges, defending a castle does not require a high degree of professionalism, as long as you have the courage to move rolling stones and wood, or help boil water and oil to boil gold juice (boiling stool), you can effectively kill and damage enemies.

The 4,000 soldiers in the city are inferior in number to the 60,000 rebels outside the city, but if 10,000 strong men are added, at least there is not much difference in momentum.

Moreover, the rebels are not all professional soldiers, many of them are also natives captured from the stockade, and compared with the Han people in the city, they have more experience in hunting.

According to Ruchin's estimates, the number of real soldiers in the rebel army is estimated to be no more than 20,000.

In an instant, the drums of war flickered, and groups of sergeants accelerated sharply to the sound of the drums, running towards the city wall.

Unlike the rebels who besieged the city yesterday, the sergeants who went into battle today were obviously much more fierce, not only the bows and arrows were sharp, but the thorns on their faces alone looked extremely terrifying.

Under the cover of bows and arrows, the elite rebels wearing soft armor and holding rattan shields quickly forced to the city during the interval between the fire of the tiger squat cannon.

Compared with yesterday's rebels, today's soldiers are obviously much smarter, and there are rules for when to charge and where to dodge.

After a while, a series of ladders were erected, and then a strong man with a broad shield took the lead, and the vine armor soldiers followed, stepping on the ladder and attacking the city wall.

After yesterday's fierce battle, the defenders of the city also had experience, and the two Ming soldiers carried a two-meter-long wooden log to hide behind the female wall, counted three in their hearts, and then threw it down the ladder.

The two-meter-long and two-hundred-pound piece of wood rolled down the ladder, just sweeping away several rattan armor soldiers on the ladder, and the ladder was also pushed down.

In front of two experienced defenders, the rebel elite attack was declared a failure.

The Han people are good at building cities, and they are even better at defending cities, the ancestors built cities to defend against wild beasts, and the people today build cities to defend against invaders.

In front of the three-zhang high city wall, any brave army can only be filled with human lives.

Before attacking the city, no matter how strong the soldiers are, they will not be able to exert their combat power.

Han people are smart, and a city can keep the people of a city safe, which is intimidating to invaders who covet the prosperity of Han people.

From Yanshan to Yungui, from Longyou to the seashore, the cities have allowed the sons and daughters of China to firmly occupy this land for thousands of years, and no one can shake it until hundreds of years later.

But now, the city of Guiyang is a little precarious.

The rebel offensive continued unabated, and the shortcomings of the lack of soldiers defending the city were gradually revealed, and after a morning of fierce fighting, Li Erlin's two arms were sore, and Sanshi's bow was no longer satisfied.

Li Erlin didn't know how long he could hold out, maybe the next moment, he would be cut down to the ground by the rebels who attacked the city wall.

There were not many comrades around him, and his small flag was shot in the throat by a bow and arrow in the last round of attack by the rebels, and without making any sound, he died with a whimper.

The trumpets of the distant attack were raised again, and bands of soldiers were sent out again, stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and rushing towards the city walls.

Li Erlin was a little devastated, and after a morning of fierce fighting, hundreds of dead bodies under the city still did not slow down the rebels' offensive, but seemed to be red-eyed, and even ignored the arrows, screaming and rushing up.

At this time, the three general cannons in the city, one exploded, one was too hot to operate, and more than ten tiger squat cannons were also half dumb.

Ruchin patrolled the city walls, the fatigue of the soldiers was obvious, and whether he could survive today, Ruchin had no hope.

4,000 sergeants against 60,000 rebels, it has far exceeded his expectations to hold on to this day, and whether he can continue to hold the city depends on Ding Zhuang of Wang Su's organization.

When it was time to go into battle, Lu Qin nodded at Wang Yan, and then with a bang, a team of Ding Zhuang wearing Ming army uniforms quickly rushed to the city wall.

The 5,000 Ding Zhuang instantly packed the city wall, which was only guarded by more than 3,000 people, to the fullest, and the new military uniforms and bright swords and guns reached the eyes of the rebels besieging the city with a shout of "kill" that shattered the sky.

How could the Ming army still have 5,000 fresh troops?

Such questions instantly filled the minds of the besieging rebels, and the offensive also stalled in an instant.

The selection of the front stagnated, and An Bangyan and Hao Chongming in the Chinese army also noticed the abnormality on the city wall.

The Ming army appeared again, which made An Bangyan, who vowed to attack, hesitate.

In two days, the army has suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and An Bangyan, who is tired from the siege of the city, is also in his eyes.

Although the Warlord team also used it, if it really couldn't break the city, An Bangyan couldn't cut down all the soldiers.

The battle has become white-hot, both offensive and defensive sides are holding on, and at this time the battle is whose willpower is stronger.

And the new 5,000 soldiers of the Ming army made the willpower of the rebels fall to the bottom in an instant, and the hesitant army at this time has already shown this.

"King Liang, withdraw the troops, there is no hope of attacking it, save the lives of the sons, there is still a chance."

Yu Chongming looked at the hesitant An Bangyan and stepped forward to admonish.

"Alas!"

An Bangyan sighed when he heard this, and then waved his hand unwillingly.

Soon, the sound of gold sounded, and the rebels who had just rushed within the range of their bows and arrows were relieved and hurriedly retreated.
