At dawn, countless black shadows quietly approached the city wall of Zitong City, and simple wooden ladders were erected on the city wall.

Everyone squatted on the ground, and Zhao Junsheng whispered to Li Bao and Jiang Hui: "Li Bao and I will take the lead in attacking the city, and Jiang Hui will stay below to command the homeless young people to support!" ”

Jiang Hui hurriedly said: "Wait, now the homeless people are all headed by me, if I personally lead people to attack the city, it will be more morale-boosting!" ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "No, after all, the homeless people have not been trained, if there are no brave people to take the lead, they don't have the courage to attack the city, you can control them if you stay below, neither I nor Li Bao can do it, so it's decided!" ”

Jiang Hui had no choice but to agree to stay below and command the homeless young men to support the Dragon Guard.

Zhao Junsheng asked one of the imperial guards to carry a long log, this kind of thorny fir tree grows in the mountains very slowly, thin and long, and the wood is tight and strong.

Zhao Junsheng handed it to Li Bao, "I'll take the lead, you and a few people use this wood to send me to the city wall, I'll go up and kill a vacant land first, and then you quickly climb up to the city to support me!" ”

Li Bao immediately said: "Of course, the ministers will do the lead, how can I let Your Majesty do it, let those old ministers know, I'm just afraid that life will be difficult!" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled: "Okay, but you kid be careful, don't capsize in such a small battle!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" After Li Bao finished speaking, he stuck the big axe into his waist, and then grabbed the end of the long log.

Zhao Junsheng and a few Dragon Guard soldiers hugged the other end of the long wood, Li Bao took a few deep breaths, turned his head and raised his hand to Zhao Junsheng to signal that he could start, and then hugged the top of the long wood tightly.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at all the prepared Dragon Guard soldiers on the left and right, raised his hand and waved, and then shouted: "One, two, three, up"

Several people exerted force at the same time, and pushed forward together with the long wood, Li Bao rushed forward quickly with the other end, rushed to the city wall and kicked his feet, and the whole person was supported by Zhao Junsheng and others with wood and ran onto the outer wall of the city wall.

I saw Li Bao holding the wood and running on the city wall with his feet, and in two breaths, he was pushed up to the city by the wood, and he let go of the long wood and fell on the city.

The two Liu Songbing, who heard the movement, yawned and got up to check the situation, only to see a black shadow falling from the sky, a cold light flashed, and the two heads rose to the sky, blood splashed.

This scene happened to be seen by a Liu Songbing who opened his eyes, and immediately shouted in fright: "Ah-enemy attack-"

The battle at the head of the city began, and the dragon guards under the city walls quickly climbed the wooden ladder one by one to climb towards the city.

Zhao Junsheng ran to the section of the wood to save it, and waved to the soldiers behind: "Quick!" ”

Several Dragon Guard soldiers immediately riveted enough strength to push Zhao Junsheng forward, Zhao Junsheng rushed forward quickly with the wood, he kicked off the wall, his feet continued to step on the wall, and a breath of time was sent to the city by the Dragon Guard soldiers below.

Zhao Junsheng let go of the wood, and while his body was still in the air, he pulled out his war knife and slashed it, and the two Liu Song soldiers who were about to sneak attack Li Bao from behind were cut to the ground by him.

After Zhao Junsheng landed, the war knife in his hand kept swinging and chopping, and the heads and arms rolled down, and blood splashed out.

A large distance on the head of the city was killed by him and Li Bao, taking advantage of this time, a large number of Dragon Guard soldiers climbed the city wall, and they quickly formed a battle formation of three or five people to fight with Liu Song's army on the city wall.

The defenders of Liu Song, who were in the most difficult state, were killed by surprise, one by one still don't know what was going on, the city was killed by the displaced people outside the city on the city wall, they were panicked, lack of organization, and were led by Zhao Junsheng and Li Bao respectively to rush to kill, with heavy casualties, and in a moment's time, even the city tower was captured by Zhao Junsheng and his people.

Li Bao took the other dragon guards to clear the Liu Song army on the other city walls, Zhao Junsheng led hundreds of people to consolidate the success, guarding the stairs leading to the city wall in the city, and the Liu Song army who came to reinforce one by one was hacked to death and rolled down.

Jiang Hui, who was outside the city, saw that the city tower had been captured, and immediately ordered the homeless young men in a loud voice: "Everyone follow me to climb the ladder to support the brothers in front!" Hurry up, there is a lot of food in the city, and only by defeating the soldiers in the city can we get food and live! ”

Under Jiang Hui's instigation and leadership, thousands of displaced people flocked to the city wall, climbing the wooden ladder like ants one by one.

As more and more homeless people climbed the city wall, the momentum became more and more huge, and the defenders in the city were all frightened and panicked, and their combat effectiveness could not be exerted forty percent.

Li Bao led the Dragon Guard to clear the defenders on the city wall as quickly as possible, and then led the men and horses to join Zhao Junsheng.

The two immediately led the Dragon Guard and Jiang Hui to lead thousands of homeless young men to rush down the city wall and kill the city.

"Kill—"

Liu Songjun, who was guarding the city gate, had already been hacked to death by Li Bao and his people, and after the city gate was opened, countless homeless people poured into the city, and the entire Zitong instantly fell into chaos.

Zhao Junsheng pulled Li Bao over and said loudly: "Quickly take someone to find food and protect all the food!" ”

"Understood!" Li Bao agreed, and ran quickly towards the city with hundreds of people, and the houses of the big landlords of the Shi clan were knocked open, and a large amount of grain was moved out.

Countless houses in the city became the scene of robbery, and the homeless people became wild beasts one by one, but all the food was turned out.

By the time Zhao Junsheng arrived at the Taishou Mansion with hundreds of dragon guard soldiers, the Taishou Mansion had already been in chaos, and the officials, officials and soldiers inside were like headless flies, and they were killed by Zhao Junsheng and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Officials such as the Taishou, the county commander, and the county lieutenant had already slipped away under the protection of their entourage when the city was broken.

After Zhao Junsheng took control of the Taishou Mansion, seeing that the homeless people were about to lose control and were about to turn into beasts one by one, he immediately sent someone to find Jiang Hui.

"Now we must set up a law enforcement team, we can't let these displaced people rob like this, the people in the city are innocent, and it is the responsibility of the government not to provide disaster relief, and the fault is not the people! Go and gather some young men, give them weapons, keep them in order, and arrest them if they come across robbery, murder, or humiliation of women! ”

Jiang Hui also realized the seriousness of the situation, if he connived at these homeless people to burn and loot like this, these people would definitely lose control, "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

The homeless people are just homeless people after all, even if they are organized by Jiang Hui to become a law enforcement team, there is no deterrent, and they can't do anything to the homeless people who rob and kill, and in the end Zhao Junsheng asked Li Bao to take the Long Wei Army to suppress them, and only after killing a group of people can they be regarded as suppressing those homeless people who are about to lose control.

After all the displaced people outside the city poured into the city, the city of Zitong was already overcrowded, and there were displaced people sitting under the eaves of the streets and alleys, and a large number of displaced people were also crowded into some empty houses.

In order to maintain order, Li Bao led the Long Weijun and the homeless youths organized by Jiang Hui to drive out the homeless people in the houses where local residents lived.

Lin Jinghui came to the Taishou Mansion to find Zhao Junsheng, and reported: "Your Majesty, the officials of Zitong have all run south, and the news will soon reach Fu County, and Liu Songjun of Fu County will definitely be on guard!" In addition, the displaced people have searched a lot of food from the mansion of the big landlord of the Shi clan in Zitong City, which is enough for tens of thousands of stones, with these grains, the displaced people have the hope of survival, and will no longer be controlled by us to attack the city at the risk of death, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult for us to use the displaced people to easily take Fu County! ”

After listening to Lin Jinghui's report, Zhao Junsheng sighed: "It is not benevolent and righteous to use the displaced people to conquer the city, and it is time to stop!" But now that so much food can be found, it can be regarded as giving these homeless people hope to find their lives! Later, call Jiang Hui and ask him to organize the homeless young people to maintain order, distribute the food to the homeless, and let them go to southern Sichuan to find a way! ”

Lin Jinghui promised: "Yes! ”

"Wait, send someone to find out the garrison situation in Fu County, I will know the specific news in the past two days!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng led people to the city, and met Li Bao and his people were patrolling to maintain order, and the courtyard of a large mansion next to it was messy, and there were many corpses lying there, with blood stains everywhere.

Zhao Junsheng walked in and took a look, Li Bao said: "This is the Wang family's house, the Wang family is a big family in Zitong, and it is quite powerful in the Liu Song Dynasty, the homeless people rushed in and clashed with the Wang family's guards, the two sides fought each other, after the guards were killed and dispersed, the Wang family was slaughtered, and none of them were spared, and the homeless people found 3,000 stone grain from the house!" ”

It's already happened, and it's useless to say anything more. Zhao Junsheng said: "Send people to bury these corpses, clean up the yard, and other looted houses, all of them must be cleaned up!" ”

"Yes, the minister has already sent someone to do it!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "What about Jiang Hui?" ”

"Didn't you say that you were going to distribute food to the displaced people and let them go to southern Sichuan to find a way? Jiang Hui took people to count the amount of food! ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded.

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng, Jiang Hui, Li Bao and others presided over the distribution of grain to the displaced people, preparing to let them take the food to southern Sichuan to beg for a living.

The place where the food was distributed was just outside the south city gate, Jiang Hui stood on the city tower and said loudly to all the displaced people: "Folks, we had to break through Zitong City in order to survive, and there is indeed food in this city, but for the sake of food, we have broken through this city, causing many people to die, if we don't leave, the court and the local government will definitely send troops to kill us, so everyone can no longer stay!"

We will give everyone 15 catties of food, according to the capitation, 15 catties for adults, 5 catties for babies, 10 catties for children, and everyone who receives food will take the food to the south until they find a way to live! Alright, let's start putting the grain now! ”

The displaced people lined up to receive the grain bags one by one, and the people who received the grain went south, one by one, seventy or eighty thousand displaced people, Zhao Junsheng, Jiang Hui, Li Bao and others took most of the day to dismiss all of them, and the grain was also completely distributed.

Just after sending off the last group of displaced people, seeing that it was not early, a cavalry rode over from the city to report: "Report - Liangzhou's 3,000 town garrisons and 10,000 escort cavalry have arrived ten miles north of the city!" ”
