As those heavily armored sword and shield men gradually approached the city wall, several brocade-robed men on the head of the city became more and more anxious.

Although they are not professional soldiers, and they have never fought or anything, they know very well that once those pseudo-Tang thieves rush to the city, then everything will be over.

The last time Fengjiazhuang was breached, although there were not many casualties, the food and other property were looted, so that the steward of Fengjiazhuang was greatly punished by the city lord's family at that time, and now I don't know where to wash the toilet.

This time, if Fengjiazhuang is broken again, can they still end up well?

It's impossible, even if you survive under the command of the pseudo-Tang thief army, you won't be able to explain it to the main family at that time, and if you don't do it well, you will follow in the footsteps of the previous steward and go directly to the toilet.

But it was useless for them to be anxious, the young men of Fengjiazhuang at the head of the city did not dare to poke their heads out to fight back, they could only watch the puppet Tang thief army cross the moat, and then gradually approach the city, and at this time, these bandits also began to run.

More than thirty bandits in thick armor didn't care about the formation at all, but rushed forward in a swarm, and no one cared about any tight formation in this kind of charging when every second counted.

At the forefront was Butcher Chen, who not only wore heavy armor and held a shield and a pig-killing knife, but also carried a long ladder on his shoulder with another bandit.

They soon rushed to the bottom of the city, and then did not hesitate to erect the long ladder and erect it on the city, at this time the Fengjiazhuang Qingzhuang on the head of the city was also bold, ready to lift stones or wood and throw them down, but as soon as they leaned out, they were hit by lead bullets into a hornet's nest.

Just as Butcher Chen's heavily armored sword and shield men were charging, Wang Danxu also ordered the musketeers and archers to step forward, and at this time they were on the other side of the moat, and the straight-line distance from the city wall was only thirty meters.

At this distance, not only does the penetration power of bows and muskets increase greatly, but more importantly, it can increase the accuracy.

The distance of 30 meters is already quite a considerable hit rate for the arquebuses of the Huangzhushan bandits, you must know that in the previous head-to-head duels, the last round of bullets fired by the musket team before launching the final charge was only about 20 meters away.

Now, in order to better cover Butcher Chen, they directly entered a distance of thirty meters, and they didn't dare to say where to hit at this distance, but the hit rate was still quite impressive.

Now anyone in the city dares to come forward, and it immediately attracts the fire of musketeers or archers.

So much so that Fengjiazhuang on the head of the city was young and strong, so he could only hide behind the head of the city, and then lift the stone directly and throw it down, but in this way, it is strange that he can hit people without looking at people throwing them.

The people in Fengjiazhuang at the head of the city were powerless to resist, and they also let Butcher Chen and them successfully set up the long ladder, and then one by one the bandits were holding a long knife in their mouths, holding a shield on their heads with one hand, and grabbing the long ladder with the other hand and quickly climbing towards the city.

When Butcher Chen and the others began to climb the wall, Wang Danxu also ordered the musketeers and archers to stop firing to avoid accidental injury.

At this time, the young men of Fengjiazhuang at the head of the city finally dared to stand up and throw stones down, splash boiling oil or boiling water, and some people wanted to cut off the iron hooks on the long ladder to prevent Butcher Chen from ascending the city.

But it was too late, and the wall was just a battle high.

Even if there is no long ladder at this three-meter-high height, as long as there is something to climb on, these bandits can rush directly to it.

If you want to really stop Butcher Chen's approach, the best chance is on the way they charge, once they let Butcher Chen and them get close to the city wall, with this three-meter-high city wall, it is impossible to stop Butcher Chen's pace.

The first to rush to the city was not the Chen butcher who rushed to the front before, it was not that he was slow, but that he ran too fast, plus he was already tall and big, so he knew that he was a huge threat at a glance, so many people in Fengjiazhuang threw stones at him.

The forced Chen butcher had to raise his shield and dodge at the same time, and this delay, the honor of rushing to the city first was snatched away.

The first to rush to the head of the city was a bandit who was also tall, and his face under the helmet was still a little immature, and he was estimated to be eighteen or nineteen years old, but his arms were powerful.

He held a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and after climbing up to the head of the city, he blocked a spear that stabbed at him, and then regardless of the long knife that another Fengjiazhuang young man slashed at him, he took the knife with his armor, and at the same time he directly swung out a knife, that is, he split a Fengjiazhuang young man in front of him in half.

After that, he turned over, raised his shield and slammed into the Feng Jiazhuang knife hand that had slashed at him before, and immediately knocked the man down, and the long knife in his hand did not fall, and once again swung away a spear that stabbed at him.

At this time, another Huangzhushan bandit who followed him also climbed to the top of the city, standing side by side with him to resist Fengjiazhuang's young and strong counter-attack.

Time passed bit by bit, and it didn't take long for five or six armored bandits from Huangzhu Mountain to climb up at the head of this small city, and they relied on the heavy armor on their bodies to forcibly advance to both sides of the city, and in this process, the young men of Fengjiazhuang were defeated and retreated, and in less than thirty seconds, at least seven or eight people fell on the head of the city.

And by the time all the armor-clad sword and shield men climbed up to the top of the city, several brocade-robed men in Fengjiazhuang had already secretly left the city wall, and they didn't know where they had gone.

Li Xuan, who was in the rear, saw that the heavily armored sword and shield men had rushed forward and established a solid position, and the follow-up spearmen were also constantly rushing forward, he knew that this siege battle had entered the end.

Even if the other party is a regular guard army in the Ming army, it is difficult to resist dozens of armored bandits, not to mention that the other party is just a group of ordinary tenants.

In this era of cold weapons, once a soldier in heavy armor rushes up, it is basically difficult to resist if the enemy army does not have the same heavy armor unit to fight.

The reason why Western firearms were able to develop at the same time was because of its great penetration of armor.

The Fengjiazhuang Qingzhuang on the head of the city is losing and retreating, just a moment's effort, the Fengjiazhuang Qingzhuang on the city head can no longer be seen standing, they are not all dead and wounded, but most of them have fled, and there are not many who were really killed and injured by the bandits in Huangzhushan, at most a dozen.

After capturing the city, the next battle did not need to be described in too many words, they opened the city gate, and then the large troops of the Tang Dynasty King Division entered one after another and controlled all the city walls.

The scattered Fengjiazhuang Qingzhuang was unable to resist at all, and many people simply threw away their weapons and fled home to become good citizens.

For these fleeing Fengjiazhuang young and strong, the purpose of the Tang Dynasty Wangshi is not to kill and injure many people, but to break through Fengjiazhuang and then take the grain away.

Because they were worried that the Ming army in Longhua Town would come, Li Xuan and the others did not delay even a second, and after capturing Fengjiazhuang, they immediately began to carry the grain in the granary.

At this time, Li Xuan and the more than 200 young and strong people brought out showed their value, and they began to carry large bags of grain, some with carts, some directly with their shoulders, and in less than an hour, the granary of Fengjiazhuang was emptied.

In order to avoid the continuous fierce resistance of the young tenants in Fengjiazhuang, Li Xuan and the others did not go door-to-door to collect grain, they directly robbed the granary in the village and began to evacuate.

Grab and run, this is a strategy that Li Xuan has long formulated, if they hesitate and stay in a certain place if they are active outside the mountain, then they will be surrounded by the Ming army if they are not careful.

For the sake of safety, it is the best choice to grab and run.

This batch of grain, which takes hundreds of people to be able to transport, is enough to alleviate most of the food crisis in Huangzhu Mountain, deep in the mountains.

With this batch of grain, Li Xuan and the others don't have to go there to rob the grain, they can concentrate on the next major task, which is to contain the Ming army and prevent them from having a chance to enter the mountain.

Because the safety of the grain was too important, Li Xuan did not let the baggage team escort the grain back alone, but personally led the main force to escort the grain all the way back to the mountain.

He didn't believe that the Ming army would watch the grain they plundered Fengjiazhuang, and then swagger back to Huangzhushan.

It is very likely that the Ming army will take action, but what specific actions the Ming army will take is not something that Li Xuan can know.

That night, in Longhua Town, Diao Leixun listened to the messenger from Fengjiazhuang, crying and saying that Fengjiazhuang was broken and all the grain in the granary was robbed, and his face was quite ugly.

"Damn, why is this Fengjiazhuang so unbeaten, it has only been broken in half a day!" Diao Leixun was a little annoyed, and he knew that he would bring someone over directly in the afternoon.

He had already learned that the puppet Tang thief army had appeared in Fengjiazhuang in the afternoon, and immediately sent someone to Zhengtai County to report the news and ask for reinforcements at the same time.

According to his original plan, Su Jiakang will arrive with the men and horses of Zhengtai County tomorrow, and when the time comes, after joining him, the total strength will exceed 1,000, which is enough to leave those bold pseudo-Tang thief army in Fengjiazhuang.

But what he didn't expect was that this Fengjiazhuang was so easy to be breached, although Fengjiazhuang was small, but it also had a wall of a zhang high, and its protective ability was far better than those ordinary villages, he thought that Fengjiazhuang should not be a problem to drag those pseudo-Tang thieves for a day or two.

But the reality is that it was only half a day's work, and the pseudo-Tang thief army broke through Fengjiazhuang, and then robbed the grain!

This leaves him with a dilemma, should he catch up?

If you pursue, it is a bit risky to be alone with a thousand households, but if you don't chase, will you watch them transport so much grain back to the mountains?
