Just when Fang Jinbin was hesitating, the sound of killing outside shook the sky, crying and shouting were mixed together, the rebels did not get a strong command, they had already become a mess of porridge, scattered and fled, no one knew what they should do, and no one knew how many officers and soldiers came.

The small leaders below, without receiving the command of their superiors, began to organize looting everywhere, and many began to flee towards the east gate.

The person in charge of guarding the east gate is Fang Jinbin's younger brother Fang Jinmin, this guy is loyal to his brother, and he resolutely does not open the door without receiving an order.

The rebels finally broke out at the east gate, and with the help of some people with ulterior motives, the two sides entered a melee, and people kept falling, and the east gate was finally opened, and countless bandits ran out.

Li Jun is commanding long-range operations, ignoring the bandits fleeing from the country, for him, as long as he can set fire to Xiliu Town, then the task is completed, and it doesn't matter how many fights he runs out.

After an hour of fire, Xiliu Town almost became a sea of fire, and the officers and troops finally entered it, and the two sides fell into a melee, but because most of the bandits had fled, and the rest did not have a unified and effective command, so that in the face of the officers and soldiers, they were only slaughtered, and they were powerless to resist.

Food, armor, and weapons were all destroyed by fire, and the fire here was far more light than the fire in Red River Town. Seeing that the fire could not be extinguished in a short time, Li Jun ordered to send troops to Qingxi Town, according to the original arrangement, Shi Bao's army would return from Qingxi Town to aid Muzhou, and he happened to intercept it halfway.

In terms of numbers, there are only less than 3,000 sailors, and there are more than 30,000 rebels, which is far inferior, but this navy is on the Red River and can attack the rebels from a distance, and the rebels who lack strong crossbows cannot threaten the navy at all.

On the fifth watch, the battle in Honghe Town ended, and the ruthless Bao Xu, Yan Shun, and Yu Baosi and others launched a ruthless killing of the rebels, even Shi Jintian and Song Kai did not let go. It's just that they didn't slaughter the common people, but just plundered the wealth, and a fire was missing the town of Honghe.

The top ten rich families were looted, more than half of them were killed, and a small half was left, and even the pseudo-prince Fang Tianding was taken away by Yan Shun as a trophy in the future, he knew that this charming woman could only belong to Lord Liu, so he strictly protected it.

At least more than two million pieces of gold, silver and jewelry were pulled to Muzhou, and on the way back, Bao Xu asked Yan Shun: "Why don't you kill all of them and keep them alive?" ”

"This is what Lord Liu meant. Only these people can spread the news that Shi Bao's soldiers robbed and ransacked Honghe Town, so that Shi Bao will not be able to wash it even if he falls into the Yellow River, and in the future, he will either take refuge in the official army or flee for his life, and he will definitely not be mixed under Fang La's hands. The adult means that although Shi Bao is not a qualified general, his combat effectiveness is still very strong, and it is better for this kind of person to stay away from Fang La. ”

Bao Xu was not convinced, but he didn't know at all that even if he added Yan Shun, Yu Baosi, and Jiao Ting, he might not be able to beat Shi Bao, you must know that this guy ranked third among the eight heavenly kings under Fang La, and it was definitely not a waste of fame.

At this time, the battle in Muzhou was nearing the end, Bai Sheng's side barely encountered much resistance, and the battle ended, more than a thousand rebels who lost their weapons were slaughtered, but Liang Hongyu's side encountered the most fierce resistance, after all, there were still many rebels who did not drink, in order to survive, these people rose up to resist, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle.

The Longxiang army, which is too small in number, is very passive, although the combat effectiveness is strong, but it is still defeated and retreated, but one thing is better, that is, they have taken the main gate, and they are dead at the gate, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

At this moment, Liang Hongyu burst out with unprecedented combat effectiveness, and the willow leaf double knife in his hand flew up and down, almost every knife could result in the life of a bandit. Inspired by this beautiful general, the Long Xiang army was full of firepower, and although the number was small, it still held its ground.

Long Xiangjun fell one by one, Liang Hongyu's heart was like a knife, the first time she performed a task for her husband, she suffered such a blow, she didn't know how to report her husband's trust in her, only to report the death of the battle.

Just when there were less than twenty Long Xiang troops left under Liang Hongyu's command, Bai Sheng led two hundred Long Xiang troops to rush over, and at this time, despite the huge disparity in numbers, they still stabilized their positions.

Bai Sheng shouted loudly: "The brigade has begun to come back to help, as long as we hold on for a while, the victory will be ours." After this battle, each survivor will be rewarded with fifty yuan, and those who die in battle will receive double the pension. ”

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. At the moment when there was no way back and life and death were in danger, the Long Xiang Army burst out with unprecedented combat effectiveness.

The people of the city finally began to get out of their homes and take up arms against the rebels. The people of Muzhou are still martial, almost every family has weapons, and before facing the robbery and killing of the enemy and rebels, they could only swallow their anger silently, but now the official army is here, and with the backbone, everyone began to resist.

It was precisely because of the resistance of the people that Bai Sheng and others finally persevered until the arrival of the two hundred water army led by Li Li, and finally stabilized their position and began to counterattack and suppress the rebels.

When the sky was bright, Yan Shun and others rushed to Muzhou, and everyone joined together and began to carry out a bloody massacre of the rebels.

"Avenge the death of a brother." With Yu Baosi's shout, the full Long Xiang army strangled the rebels who were born, did not accept surrender, and killed them all.

After the overall situation stabilized, Bai Sheng said to Bao Xu: "The defense of Muzhou is handed over to you, I am going to report to Shi Bao now, and let this guy hurry up and seize Muzhou." Lord Liu, Yang Zhi, and Li Jun intercepted them halfway, at least the rebels can't get over today, as for what the situation will be tomorrow, I don't need to say, you also know. ”

If less than 1,000 people defend Muzhou and meet the siege of more than 30,000 bandits, how severe the task is, even you can figure it out with your toes. Bao Xu knows that at this time, it is useless to say anything, and stepping up preparations is the last word.

Liang Hongyu really couldn't hold on, and went directly to Queyue Tower to rest. Seeing that this beautiful general went back to rest, Yan Shun breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he brought a beauty to Lord Liu, if the main house was jealous, the consequences would be quite serious.

This dragon army has been fighting for a night and has long been exhausted, but everyone knows that it is not time to rest, so they can only hurry up and prepare for battle. At this time, all the people in the city came out, the men participated in the city defense, and the women cooked and provided logistical support.

Yan Shun sighed with emotion: "What a good common people, the bandits have to plunder and kill them." With their help, we will be able to hold Muzhou. ”

"Lord Liu is right, Fang La is a generation of heroes, and resisting the imperial court is also a righteous act. However, he could not restrain his subordinates and did not have a clear combat goal, so that the rebels became traitors, burning, killing and looting everywhere, unpopular with the people, and finally abandoned by the people. "Bao Xu, the king of the mountain, has a lot of emotion, he understands a truth, the world of those who win the hearts of the people, no matter where the army goes, cannot harm the people.

Yan Shun said: "Money occupies an important position in the war, and if Fang La's subordinates have enough military salaries, they may steal a little less. We sacked Honghe Town this time, which is a large amount of military salary, which is enough for the expansion of our Longxiang army. ”

Yu Baosi said with a smile: "This is a little bit of money, Lord Liu said, Qingxi Town has tens of millions of wealth, and the core of this battle is to use Qingxi Town to hold Shi Bao's nose, so that this guy can take care of one thing and lose the other, and toss back and forth between Muzhou and Qingxi Town, by the way, what does Lord Liu say this is called?" ”

"Guerrilla warfare." Speaking of this, Jiao Ting showed a sly smile on his face, and this guy said: "The enemy advances and I retreat - the enemy is tired and I fight - the enemy is stationed and I disturb - the enemy retreats and I chase this sixteen-character policy, as long as we use it flexibly, even if Shi Bao has tens of thousands of bandits, he will not want to recapture Muzhou." ”

"Yes, tactics are so important on the battlefield, let's stop chatting and prepare for war. Tear down the houses as much as they could, and bring the wood and stones that had been removed to the city walls. "Mu Hong temporarily acted as the commander-in-chief, in the Longxiang army, the commander was Yang Zhi, the deputy commander was Li Jun, who was mainly responsible for the navy, and the other deputy commander was Bao Xu, but this guy was obviously not good at defending the city, so Mu Hong took the command.

Bao Xu didn't think there was anything inappropriate, if he led the army to attack, he was better at it, but he was really confused about defending the city. Instead of blindly commanding without knowing what, it is better to let Mu Hong command.

Don't look at Mu Hong, who is five big and three thick, he looks like a rough man with developed limbs and a simple mind, but in fact, this guy is familiar with military books and has a lot of experience in defending the city.

Although Muzhou City is not high, the rebels do not have any siege equipment at all, as long as the defense work is arranged, even if the number of rebels is large, it will be difficult to conquer Muzhou, at least Mu Hong thinks so.

In the case that the rebels did not have siege equipment, Mu Hong decided that there was only one city gate left, and the rest were all sealed, so that the pressure on defense would not be so great, after all, the number of people was small, and it was necessary to concentrate troops to defend to ensure that Muzhou was not lost.

The city wall of more than two zhang high is relatively short, and it is no wonder that such a small county town cannot have too tall city walls. However, this city wall is built with big bluestone, and glutinous rice juice has been poured in the brick joints, which explains very much.

Although the traitors do not have siege equipment, it does not mean that they will not be built temporarily, at least the most built siege ladder, once this simple siege ladder is set up on the city, the bandits will climb up, once the bandits attack the city, then Muzhou City will not be able to defend, after all, the difference in numbers is too great.
