At the head of the city, the sound of weapons clashing and the shouts of soldiers were already intertwined, obscuring all other sounds.

And when the top of the city began to enter a stalemate, the enemy troops below began to attack the city gate again. But this time, the Huashan army at the head of the city had no way to stop it, because they were all pinned down by the enemy troops who landed in the city.

"Fortunately, this gate has been strengthened first, and they can't break it for a while! However, the problems in the city must be solved quickly! Li Xin found this, but he didn't panic, and after looking around, his mind turned sharply.

Judging from the surrounding situation, although there were several places that were broken through by the enemy, they did not have an advantage on the city, and under the brave counterattack of the Huashan army, the enemy in many places had already been beaten down the city wall.

"It's getting dark!" Seeing that there was only a line of sunset left in the sky, Li Xin subconsciously said.

Then, he called the herald, who had been following him not far away, and gave a new order. Soon, the reserve team, which was originally waiting under the city, finally came out at this time.

These people were a little different from the soldiers fighting in the city, because they were not holding swords, guns and weapons, but long bamboo poles, and a tree branch was firmly tied to the end of this bamboo pole.

As soon as they came up, they began to move. The soldiers, who were originally fighting the enemy, blocked them behind and blocked the enemy in front of them. And the soldiers of these reserves quickly stretched out the bamboo pole in their hands out of the city and against the siege ladder, and five or six people or even a dozen people worked together to fork the bamboo pole outward.

"Not good!" An enemy soldier who had just ascended the city suddenly saw this strange scene, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but soon realized something. He screamed, and the next moment he felt as if he was flying through the clouds, and involuntarily moved away from the city wall.

"Bang bang bang....!" The sound continued to sound, and a large amount of dust was stirred up on the ground, and one after another siege ladders were pushed off the city wall and fell backwards. The enemy soldiers who were originally following behind the siege were unable to avoid it at this time, but they were killed by these siege ladders, and those on the ladders were injured even more.

Under such circumstances, the city head, which was originally fiercely fighting, suddenly quieted down at this time, because everyone had no opponent and lost their goal. The situation, which was already somewhat unfavorable to itself, suddenly reversed at this moment, and those enemy troops who climbed to the top of the city, although they escaped the fate of falling, were drowned in front of the Huashan army, which was dozens of times their size, without even turning up a wave.

"Hehe, General Li thought of this method is really good, if we knew that it would work, we should have taken it out and used it a long time ago, and it wouldn't hurt a lot of brothers!" While the soldiers at the head of the city were happy, someone said.

"You know what? We have bamboo poles in our hands, not iron. General Li deliberately waited until the sky was blurry, so that the enemy could not see clearly before we could achieve this goal. Otherwise, the other party can see it clearly, let's stretch out a bamboo pole, and you will watch it when he will do it? I'm afraid I'll cut off this bamboo pole with a knife! Didn't we come up in vain? Of course, the man's words were quickly refuted by others.

"Smash it hard for me, so that none of these siege guys can go back!" Above the city gate, a small captain picked up a stone at this time, and then threw it down fiercely, shouting.

On the enemy's side, Zhu Lin and Dong Xiu were on horseback, and they were still discussing whether to fight at night tonight. As a result, before a result could be discussed, I saw that my own soldiers had fallen from the city one by one, and those siege ladders were even upside down and hit their own people directly.

"It seems that the thieves in the city not only have martial arts, but also resourcefulness, and actually opened our siege ladder." After being silent for a while, Dong Xiu spoke. Obviously, he didn't expect such a scene, especially judging from the fierce battle in the city before, it seems that it shouldn't end like this.

"Pass the order, Mingjin retreats! Retreat two miles and set up camp! Zhu Lin had a dark face and did not answer his words, but gave a new order.

"Dangdangdang......!" Soon, a crisp sound was heard, and the enemies under the city receded like a tidal wave. Before leaving, even the corpses on the ground were carried away, and the other party did not seem to be worried that the people in the city would attack them.

In fact, Li Xin in the city did not intend to stop them, after all, in such a hot weather, if these corpses were allowed to stay below, they were afraid that they would soon stink and be prone to epidemics. Neither is this a good thing for both warring parties.

"The enemy has finally retreated, and I thought I wouldn't have rested tonight!" Seeing this scene, everyone in the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Big brother, you have chosen the right time at this time! At this time, their morale has fallen, and it will not be easy to fight again, and when it is getting late, they can only retreat first. Zhou Tong walked to Li Xin's side and said happily.

"Today is just a small scene, tomorrow is the real test. Tonight, the two of us take turns to defend the city, you keep the first half of the night, I keep the second half of the night, and the brothers who are fighting in the city today hurry up and eat and rest. Li Xin didn't look happy, looking at the little fire outside the city, the other party had already begun to camp, so he said.

"Yes, I'll arrange it!" Zhou Tong's expression froze, and he hurriedly turned around and went down.

Li Xin came down to the city, first went to the place where the wounded were for a while, and after telling the doctor to do his best to treat them, he visited the wounded one by one. Then, he hurried to the east gate to inspect it. Not surprisingly, the battle there was already over, and the enemy had retreated to Tongguan, apparently, the last time they were cut off in the middle of the night, they became much more cautious.

"Looks like you're in a much better situation here than I thought!" After looking at the city, Li Xin said to Li Erhei.

"This is thanks to that Fu Yun, if he hadn't been too cautious in using his troops, I wouldn't have been able to fight so easily. It seems that he was really scared last time! Li Erhei said with a smile.

"In short, don't take it lightly, maybe this is what the enemy did to show us! Be careful at night and don't let those guys sneak up! Before leaving, Li Xin specially instructed.

After this trip, it was not long before midnight, Li Xin returned to the top of the city, hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of wheat rice, and then rested against the city wall.

After Zhu Lin and the others retreated, they set up a large camp two miles away from the city.

"Today's siege is a complete failure, we lost two or three hundred people, and finally killed the city, and the result was defeated! What a wreck! In the middle of the Chinese military tent, Dong Xiu said angrily.

"We underestimated the other party, and originally thought that with our superior forces and full attack, we would be able to take down the city gate in one go, and then enter the city. The situation of this battle was indeed as you and I thought at the beginning, who would have thought that it would come at the end! The thief leader was quite scheming, and he must have prepared these methods a long time ago, but he only used them suddenly at night, so that we were caught off guard. Zhu Lin's face looked a little better now, and after asking the soldiers who had landed in the city, he could understand what was going on.

"Not bad. But that's fine, today we can be regarded as having some knowledge of these anti-thieves. Tomorrow, we'll do it all over again, but we still have to guard against them pushing the ladder with a bamboo pole! Dong Xiu nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said.

"I'm afraid that the simple siege method is not very effective, I think, we should have more means. Since these thieves have occupied Huayin County for so long, they should be ready, and our siege situation should not be as unexpected as they expected! Zhu Lin pondered for a moment and said.

"What can you do?" When Dong Xiu heard this, he immediately showed an interested look.

"Report, the two generals of Qiqi, the order of Fuxi County has come to reward our army with many things!" Just as Zhu Lin wanted to speak, the guards outside the tent came in to report.

"Oh, this Shixi County Order is quite familiar, let him leave his things, and people can go back!" When Dong Xiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing and waved his hand.

"Wait, bring in the Nafuxi County Order!" Zhu Lin seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly stopped it.

"What are you?" Dong Xiu asked with some puzzlement.

"I have something to ask him!" Zhu Lin did not elaborate.

Soon, the Fuxi County Order appeared in the account. The person who came was an elegant-looking man, about fifty years old, wearing an official uniform, and at first glance, it really gave people an extraordinary bearing, and people couldn't help but feel awe-inspired.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, this temperament was broken.

"The order of Fuxi County has seen the two generals, and I heard that the two generals came here to kill the thieves, so the lower officials specially prepared some things to reward the army, and asked the two generals to accept them!" I saw him bending over and saying in fear.

He is a county order, and his official quality is not too low, and the civil and military affairs belong to two systems, and more importantly, he and the other party are not under the jurisdiction of the same governor, so they shouldn't be like this. Clearly, he was putting his attitude very low.

"The county commander has a heart, and I am here after being ordered, so as to calm the place and protect the people. It was a great relief to be able to have the support of the prefectural magistrate! The army is simple, please sit down with the county commander! Zhu Lin nodded and said lightly.
