And in the inner city of Chaoyang City and the city of Yacheng, the local salt and iron judge and the office of the Water and Land Patrol Academy, the officials and generals who fled here from all directions also gathered in a hurry to discuss countermeasures.

"It's good to be here."

"I can't get out of it now."

"Damn grass thief, it's coming so fast."

"Can't resist this? He also boasted that he was an official health."

"Aren't there still Long March athletes who have fought in the Southern Barbarians?"

"After all, the number of guards and guards in the city is too small."

"What can you do with just relying on these dozen or so dirt balls that have been gathered."

"Isn't there still unity and patrol soldiers in the city?"

"That's all good hands at taking people to collect taxes on weekdays, but when you meet a grass thief who doesn't want to die. and showed timidity."

"All these are of great use. Aren't we still stuck here? ”

"It is important to work together to face the situation and difficulties in front of us."

"It's still the same sentence, where are the reinforcements and reinforcements. Only with foreign aid can the situation be broken. ”

"The rest is just out of the blue, and it's out of the woods."

"What a good thing is this, my whole net worth and relatives."

"It's so easy to escape from that dead place in Xunzhou."

At this moment, the door that was suddenly confined was slammed open from the outside in a roar of scolding and shouting. When I saw the figure that appeared outside the door, the people who were discussing inside couldn't help but question and curse angrily

"Where's the bastard thing."

"Who, who dares to trespass."

"Chu Yinan, what are you going to do?"

"Captain Qiu, the tooth general and the judge are current, don't quickly retreat and apologize."

"Do you want to be court-martialed?"

It turned out that the officer outside the door was called Qiu Yinan, whose ancestor was said to be Qiu Shenji, the general of Jinwu during the Shenlong period, and now belongs to the water patrol captain of the Quanzhou Army; It's just that he has always been known for his low eyes and low color, but because of his ancestral family lineage and his high self-esteem, he has a very bad reputation among these colleagues who have been cobbled together.

In addition, he is also a typical low-class local navy in the official army. Therefore, in the temporary deliberation convened this time, there was no piggybacking or deliberately ignoring him, but I didn't want to give him the opportunity to connect and make trouble in private.

"I'm just here to borrow something from you."

And this lieutenant named Qiu Yinan showed a slightly cruel sneer

"What..."

Someone immediately showed some kind of bad premonition in their hearts.

"That is, for many children, I borrowed a way to live from you."

"The surname is Qiu, what does this mean."

"Bastard, are you trying to be a thief?"

"Bold, what to say."

Everyone immediately shouted and cursed, but some began to retreat and fear, and quietly leaned against the edge of the wall to make a gesture to avoid the limelight, and some people stroked the handle of their knives, secretly preparing to do the thing that the fish died and the net was broken.

"I don't want your net worth to die. I didn't think about the thief."

However, Chu Yinan's next sentence stunned them all.

"Just let me hand over my personal entourage, subordinates, protectors, and pro-soldiers to me."

"Instead of allowing your generation to quarrel in vain here, wasting time and delaying the last opportunity."

"Bastard, what are you?"

Several generals on the spot blew up their voices.

"Dare to tell me to wait."

"It's the other way around...

"Dog thing, you dare...

Before the last half of the words fell, I saw Qiu Yinan waving his hand, and the extremely dense humming sound and the cracking of the paper window immediately turned into the other party's incredulous expression and muffled humming; And the few generals who were also high-ranking soldiers at the scene covered the arrows pierced through their chests one after another, and struggled and screamed and fell one after another, and everyone retreated and gave way to the open space, and quickly faded out of a large pool of blood.

Then there was a clattering and smashing sound, and all the windows of the place were smashed; Everyone couldn't help but be secretly startled again, but they saw that as the windows that were shot through and smashed open one after another, there were already crossbowmen standing outside with bent bows ready to fire, waiting for Qiu Yinan's order; There are even torches in the back row with rockets lit, and it looks like they are going to catch everyone present.

"I'd like to take Captain Qiu as the leader."

Someone on the spot saw that the situation was not good

"A certain is willing to drive the guards under his command and act with the lieutenant of Ji."

Then, someone else echoed the statement.

。。。。。。。。

But in the camp outside Chaoyang City, there is another brisk atmosphere where success is imminent.

And for most of the soldiers who have participated in the attack and survived, the experience of birth and death will undoubtedly force people to become mature in the shortest possible time, or to become numb and indifferent to something.

"Baby. . . Take it easy. ”

Because of the extra scar on his forehead, Wang Jian, who looked thin and sophisticated, was also nibbling on the freshly pickled sauce radish, and at the same time, with the identity and tone of a person who had come over, he said to a stupid big man next to him who was eating hard at the soup cake strips

"I'm about to go up to the wall. It's best not to overeat. ”

"Once you run, your stomach will shake and make you feel sad."

"If you accidentally vomit out, it's in vain. It's going to cost you your life. ”

"Besides, if there is any injury without eyes, it is good that you have to be treated for your life."

"Don't drink much soup, don't rise in a hurry, it's going to be fatal."

"When the whole team is in the meeting, remember to ask for vinegar ginger, dried green plums or other spicy spicy seeds in your mouth. It's not easy to think about anything. ”

"The weapons issued must not be three inches away from the hand, and the bits and pieces on the body must be fastened.

"Especially the shoes should be tight, and the legs should be tied just right,"

"It's better to wrap a few more cloth straps on your hands. If you hold it firmly, it won't stick to other slips. ”

"If you want to have your life to stay, eat a few good meals in the camp. You have to listen to me. ”

In the midst of some chatter, I finally waited for the whistle of the whole team; Once again, they checked each other's weapons and equipment, and the whole head was painted with cang-blue hats, kettles, dry food, etc., and began to set off with the sound of a team and a fire

After another half a ring, in the sound of the whining flute, their team began to trot, through the cleared doorway, and officially entered Chaoyang City; Again, the troops were divided into several ways

Among them, Wang Jian's road climbed up the inner staircase to the top of the city, moved away one obstacle after another and stuffed materials along the aisle on the wall, and went to the section of the city wall where the official and military flags were still planted.

However, as if they had gone all out but pounced, they had hardly encountered much decent resistance, and under the banners of the officers and regiments, there were often only messy and trampled pieces of waste all over the ground; Occasionally, there are small groups of enemies who rush out of the corner that they don't know is overlooked.

It's just that their morale and physical condition are very bad, and although they are punished with a little courage by a momentary surprise, they can easily collapse after facing the rebels; Therefore, Wang Jian's team had no chance to get bloody, and had already captured another gatehouse, and also collected and surrendered dozens of defenders who had lost their fighting spirit;

On the contrary, the men and horses who were attacking the city heard the sound of fierce battles one after another; It was only when he found a few ragged prisoners from a stinking cave that he heard a shout outside.

"Eh. So it rained."

Wang Jian felt the wetness on his face; Then they scattered and began to look for shelter from the rain, or something to shelter from.

。。。。。。

The sudden heavy rain certainly brought a lot of trouble to the defenders of the city, but it was obviously a greater obstacle to the attacking side. For example, bows and arrows that are used as a means of long-range destruction will lose their sufficient charge due to moisture and become soft and loose, and the arrows will only fall softly and fall closely.

Especially when besieging the city defense, it is necessary to step on the mud and rain that flows down, and push all kinds of siege equipment up a slope to reach the city wall. The defenders, on the other hand, only need to fire arrows at these severely slowed targets under the shelter of the canopy.

Therefore, the attack on the inner wall on the half-slope was halted for the time being, after a few rushing cars and a hundred casualties; And wait for the next step in the dismantling process of the projection device. But in the cities of this era, the dirt roads that soaked in mud as soon as it rained became the biggest trouble for all kinds of heavy transport vehicles and projection equipment.

But at this point, the head Wang Pan did not show any anxious or nervous color, but emphasized it to his subordinates, such as "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it"; Then, from time to time, in the name of discussion, the leaders of them were anxious to go over for a small meeting, and on the pretext of appreciating Zhou Huai'an's craftsmanship, they continued to contact each other by eating and drinking a meal.

From this, Zhou Huai'an knew that for the rebels who lacked heavy equipment and professional equipment in the long-term mobile warfare, in fact, there were not too many opportunities to directly storm the city, but it was more time to use long-term siege methods to mobilize and clean up the surrounding officers and soldiers;

Especially now, after a good sweep and looting from the surrounding area, the materials and personnel are still relatively sufficient, and there is no interest and willingness to persist in the assault from the top down.

Although Zhou Huai'an felt that something was wrong with this, he couldn't say why for a while. I can only try my best to help and fill in the gaps within my own duties. For example, a large number of rain gear and waterproof cover he prepared before, timely medicines collected along the way, moisture-proof and damp-proof materials, etc., can come in handy.

However, the next night, he was suddenly woken up by someone who was hurrying, and he heard a noise and commotion everywhere near and far.

When he walked up to the lookout post with a rain cloth on, he saw that on the other side of the tributary of the Longjiang River, in the camp located in the south of the city, most of the fire, which originally looked a little dim in the rain and fog, had disappeared, but all kinds of noise and shouts were intermittent.
