When the rebels began to disperse, the trebuchet was useless, and Yang Zhi ordered to stop shooting at the rebels, but to quickly adjust the trebuchet, the goal was to guard the city gate and ensure that it was not breached by the rebels' battering ram.

Rebels can scatter in all directions, but battering rams need to be protected, and if the soldiers are scattered, the huge and slow-moving battering rams will be hit by catapults and scrapped.

This guy made the most brainless, but seemed the wisest decision in this guy, that is, to use his men to attract the opponent's trebuchet, and exchange the lives of soldiers for the safety of battering rams.

The catapult was once again powerful, the boulders kept dropping, and the rebels were constantly smashed, and after an unknown number of rounds of attacks, the battering ram finally came under the city gate and began to attack.

Seeing that the battering ram had reached the city gate, Yang Zhi shouted: "Jiao Ting, Yu Baosi, you two lead two hundred soldiers down, once the city gate is conquered, then block the enemy in the city gate hole."

With Jiao Ting, Yu Baosi led two hundred dragon troops to rush down the city, and there was finally a hole in the defense of the city, and rebels began to kill the city, although there were only hundreds of people, but it was enough to bring chaos to the defense of the city.

At this time, Mu Hong and the others were killed, this guy rushed to the front first, the mountain axe in his hand was like cutting leeks to harvest the head of the rebels, under his inspiration, the brave and fierce Long Xiang army finally killed the enemy and regained control of the main city wall.

Bao Xu organized his soldiers to throw a lit oil canister under the head of the city, and finally burned the battering ram, but the city gate was also seriously damaged, fortunately the rebels only had one battering ram, otherwise, the city gate would not be able to be defended.

The first day of the attack can be said to be a tentative attack, for Shi Bao lost more than 2,000 soldiers, and finally figured out that there were less than a thousand defenders on the city, and the city gate was greatly damaged, in this case, it can be said that the first day of the attack was successful, as long as the second day, a little more effort, maybe you can win a big victory.

Although the city gate was damaged, but there was no new battering ram, temporary delay, Shi Bao quickly made a decision, the next day, all the strength to attack the city, and then the soldiers will carry the wood to hit the city gate that has been seriously damaged, it is a big deal to send a few more groups, as long as the city gate is conquered, then there is a ninety percent certainty to take Muzhou.

After defending the city for a day, less than 100 soldiers were damaged, and the casualties were not large, but the city gate was seriously damaged, which made everyone feel worried.

Yang Zhi convened a meeting of the generals, he didn't want to go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "Compared to everyone, everyone already knows that the city gate is seriously damaged, and it will not be able to hold it tomorrow, but you don't have to worry, what you want is that you can't hold it, or rather, I don't plan to guard the city gate at all." Tomorrow, the head of the city will still be guarded by the Long Xiang army, and the command will be handed over to Mu Hong. Bao Xu and I, sitting in the city and waiting for the arrival of the enemy army, Jiao Ting, Yu Baosi, you lead the army to defend the city gate, until noon, even if there is only one person left, you can't retreat. After this battle, even if he lent Shi Bao ten guts, he did not dare to invade Muzhou again. ”

Although there were 2,800 reserve troops that did not enter the battle, there were at least 7,000 rebels, and everyone really couldn't figure out where Yang Zhi got his confidence, but everyone was embarrassed to ask, so they could only actively prepare for war.

On the third day, after breakfast, the rebels attacked again, this time there was no routine, and there were no tactics, seven thousand rebels pressed on the whole line, and launched an attack on Muzhou City in layers, Shi Bao pressed the formation in the back, and the rest of the army was all pressed up, but Xie Fei mainly attacked the city head, and Shi Qun mainly attacked the city gate.

As soon as the battle began, it became white-hot, and the attacking team was promised to loot for three days, which means that they could loot and kill at will for three days. With this reward, the group of guys rushed forward like chicken blood, fell down a batch, followed the next batch, and the latter stepped on the corpses of the people in front of them, and soon there were mountains of corpses under the city.

Mu Hong is responsible for defending the city, he doesn't know the true purpose of Yang Zhi, he just knows that the power to defend the city, and he must not lose the city, you must know that this kind of city defense war, once the city head is lost, it will indicate defeat.

Mu Chun, Tong Meng, Tong Wei, Li Li and others all entered the battle, this time they were defending the city in sections, once the rebels killed the city, they would fight back with all their strength to kill the enemy.

After an hour of onslaught by the rebels, the broken city gate finally collapsed, and after the rebels were met by a dense array of arrows, and after hundreds of corpses were dropped, the brutal and bloody street fighting finally began.

Yu Baosi and Jiao Ting, the two giant-like fierce generals, one uses an axe and the other uses a hammer. The soldiers used shields as cover to prevent the two men from being attacked by cold arrows. In general, the rebels still have few bows and arrows, otherwise, even if they have a shield defense, it is difficult to be foolproof.

Batch after batch of rebels fell, and it is not known how many people died, and at noon, the rebels finally attacked the city, and at this time, Mu Hong also received an order to retreat.

Jiao Ting and Yu Baosi also began to retreat step by step, and the rebels slowly entered the city of Muzhou.

Street fighting begins.

Only when they entered the street battle, Shi Qun and Xie Fei knew that entering the city did not mean that they had conquered Muzhou, on the contrary, it seemed to have entered a death trap, there were cold arrows everywhere, there were traps everywhere, it can be said that every step forward, they had to pay huge casualties, and this kind of casualties seemed to be not much less than defending the city.

Despite the huge casualties, the rebels were outnumbered and advanced slowly, and in the afternoon, the rebels finally reached the city, at this time, the officers and troops no longer retreated, and began to counterattack, and the bloody battle was more brutal, and the casualties were greater.

Shen Shi, countless thousand stone ships appeared on the Red River outside the city of Muzhou, and the trebuchet began to roar, smashing into the rear army of the rebels, and it was Shi Bao who supervised the battle in the rear army, this guy suddenly understood that it was not to conquer Muzhou at all, but the trap laid by the other party, to kill his own men to the greatest extent.

The cavalry, the ghostly troop cavalry finally appeared, and the cavalry shot arrows from afar, slaughtering the rebels as if they were chasing prey.

Withdrawing the army, Shi Bao really didn't know what the official army still had, and he finally gave the order to retreat because he didn't want the whole army to be wiped out.

The withdrawal of troops is a failure, and the defeat of the army is like a mountain.

When the sun went down, the rebels disappeared without a trace. The casualties in the city were also huge, less than 400 of the 800 Longxiang army remained, the 200 Longxiang army also suffered more than 50 casualties, and the 2,800 Xiangjun army borrowed from Pan Qi suffered more than 1,000 casualties. However, the gold and silver treasures transported from Honghe Town should have exceeded two million, and it should be said that a windfall was made.

There is one thing, Yang Zhi didn't know, there were only a few hundred rebels who fled back to Qingxi Town in the end, and what was even worse was that Shi Bao, the third master among the eight heavenly kings under Fang La, was missing, and no one knew where he went.

The borrowed army is to be returned, but the navy army that Li Junqiang has taken away must stay, because there are still 8,000 rebels in Qingxi Town, and there are more than 10 million pieces of wealth, which are 100% to be taken away.

It is not difficult for Liu Zhenglong to take Qingxi Town and take away tens of millions of treasures, but how to place this treasure has become the most troublesome thing, it is obviously unrealistic not to take it away, but it is not safe to put it in Muzhou, and Fang La's army will come sooner or later. It is too far to send it to Xiaohuanggang, and Xiaohuanggang is a cottage after all, and when he is not there, if the government goes to check it, he can't stop it. At this time, he realized that without a territory of his own, it was impossible to do anything easily.

When thinking about this tens of millions of treasures, Liu Zhenglong thought of Zhu Mian's treasure, now it is fifteen, if nothing else, Zhang Shuye should take Hangzhou, and it is still too late to go to Hangzhou.

Liu Zhenglong's final idea is to turn tens of millions of wealth into real estate, anyway, after the war in Hangzhou, a large number of ownerless land, ownerless shops, it can be said that the price is scary, as long as he converts this wealth into land, a few years later, once the imperial court moves south to Hangzhou, then he is the world's largest rich businessman, and he is definitely a rich country.

Of course, in Hangzhou, you not only have to buy land, but also do a lot of things, but before going to Hangzhou, it's time to think about arresting Zhu Mian. For Liu Zhenglong, taking Muzhou is not a credit, as for Fang La's wealth, it belongs to private individuals, and taking Zhu Mian is the primary task, and it is also what the official family must complete.

Although, the defense of Muzhou is over, but Li Jun did not enter Muzhou City with the navy, for him, all this has just begun, the highlight is in Qingxi Town, only by transporting that treasure out, can it be regarded as a real success.

Yang Zhi, Bao Xu and others took the rest of the Long Xiang army on the warship, and of course, those gold, silver and jewelry were also brought. When he was on the boat, Li Jun was a little puzzled, and he asked Yan Shundao: "The small Honghe Town can be scavenged for two million guan, it seems that the top ten richest people in that town are too rich, so is the whole Jiangnan full of gold?" ”

Yan Shun smiled bitterly and said, "That's that simple! That old lady Song is not only the richest man in Honghe Town, but also one of the three richest people in Jiangnan, the so-called top ten richest people have gold, silver and jewelry worth two million, of which more than one and a half million are from their family. Otherwise, why did Fang La want his daughter Fang Baihua to give his son as his wife, and why did he let his daughter Song Baimei be the crown princess. ”

"The crown princess?"

"Don't think about it, it's for the eldest brother, you can find your goal with peace of mind." On this issue, Yan Shun is very principled, Song Baimei must be handed over to Liu Zhenglong, as for whether the eldest brother receives the house by himself or is allowed to marry to other brothers, it is not his concern.
