The siege of Ruyang County can be said to be lackluster, because the defenders basically do not have any advantage in terms of morale, equipment and tactics, and the Xingtian army came this time, and also carried a few six-pounder guns, both in range and power, which were enough to suppress the firepower of the defenders on the city wall, and as soon as the two sides started the battle, the defenders were pressed to the point that they could not raise their heads.

Although there is a moat more than two zhang wide in Ruyang County, and the river water is drawn from the Beiru River nearby and poured into the moat, so it also creates some trouble for the siege of the Xingtian Army, but fortunately, the Xingtian Army is now fully armed, and there are full-time engineers responsible for dealing with such things.

After a day and a half of intense construction, under the cover of the firearms of the two battalions of soldiers, the moat in the west of Ruyang County was filled in several sections, and at the same time, the defenders outside the city were also cleared of the deer and horse rejection horses built by the defenders outside the city, paving the way for the siege.

In order to delay the siege of the Xingtian Army, he repeatedly sent a small group of soldiers under his command to raid the city to attack the Xingtian Army who tried to fill the moat, hoping to kill the people who helped the war, but for his counterattack method, the Xingtian Army had already been prepared, and when the Minfu was under construction, each battalion sent a firecracker team to cover in turn, and the defenders went out of the city several times to assault, under the salvo of the Xingtian Army's firecracker team, it can be said that the whole army was annihilated, so that The defenders no longer dared to go out of the city to launch an assault easily, so they could only release arrows from the city walls to the city as much as possible to stop the movement of the Xingtian army.

But now Xiao Tianjian will not be merciful, although he also sympathizes with these people and the homeless, but he knows better what he is doing and why he is doing it, so he personally ordered the soldiers to be sent to supervise the battle, on the one hand, with food as the temptation, so that the homeless people bravely stepped forward to fill the moat, and when they came back from the good work, they had broth to drink and flatbread to eat, and those who were afraid to step forward were served with big sticks, and at the same time did not give food, so that the hungry homeless people did not spare their lives at all for a piece of cake and a bowl of broth. Anyway, if you don't go up, you will be starved to death, so you are also quite hard, one by one, braving the bullets that are constantly falling on the city wall, carrying bags of earth and stones, rushing to the side of the moat, pouring the earth and stones into the moat, although there are more casualties, but they still finally complete the task given to them by the Xingtian Army.

The second high school still had a broken arrow stuck in his shoulder, and he staggered all the way from the moat to the starting point, and a soldier of the Xingtian Army patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Good man!" Well done! This is your food ration for today, take it and eat it! In addition, when you go to the medical camp behind the battle, someone will help you raise an arrow and treat your injuries! ”

Gao Er's grinning waist took a red wooden skewer from the hand of this Xingtian soldier, this red wooden skewer means that he can receive two cakes and a bowl of broth with a piece of meat, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to say, and even couldn't believe his ears, and asked this soldier tremblingly: "Does anyone else treat our injuries?" ”

"Of course! Anyone who helps our Xingtian Army, our commander said, he will never treat you badly, not to mention the good food and drink, and the injured will heal you! In the future, after our commander lays down here, he will also give you fields and land, food and clothing, and all those who have contributed to the war will be treated favorably in the future! Blessed are you! The soldier replied to him with a smile on his face.

The sophomore year of high school seemed to be in the clouds for a while, and ran to the food place in a daze, exchanged two cakes and a bowl of broth with a wooden skewer, while chewing heavily, drank the broth like a whirlwind, and finally carefully pulled the small piece of meat chop at the bottom of the bowl into his mouth, chewed carefully, tasted the aroma of meat that he hadn't tasted for many years, and even the arrow wound on his shoulder didn't feel a little painful, his eyes looked at the front of the big array, and he muttered in his mouth: "Is this true?" ……”

Before he finished his words, he fell to the ground softly, and before he could swallow the piece of meat in his mouth, he opened his eyes wide and stopped breathing, but unfortunately he never had a chance to wait for the Xingtian Army to divide the land for him, and the arrow finally made him bleed and became a victim of this battle.

Xiao Tianjian looked at the corpses of the homeless people who were carried down and buried like flowing water, his face was cold and hard, and by this time, the dead people were just numbers in his eyes, and now he, in order to achieve the goal he wanted, he would no longer feel sorry for the lives of these homeless people, who let them be born in this troubled world!

"Start the siege!" Seeing that a large section of the moat had been filled, Xiao Tianjian coldly ordered.

I could only hear a passionate trumpet sound in the array, and the impatient soldiers who had been waiting outside the city immediately roared wildly, and strode towards the city wall to the beat of the drums.

In an instant, there was a continuous sound of cannons and guns outside the city, and all kinds of cannonballs and lead pellets instantly hit the city wall like raindrops, cutting over a row of the defenders at the battlement like rice, and then dozens of sword and spearmen carrying long ladders swarmed across the moat, erected one long ladder after another, and set up on the city wall.

The west of Ruyang County was suddenly plunged into blood and fire, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the county......

Feng garrison is also considered to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he has been in the west of the city on the most fierce battle on the city wall led the troops to hold on for three days, in the evening of the third day, the Xingtian army finally attacked the city, at this time, all the will of the defenders to fight was completely destroyed, still on the city wall of the defenders and the villagers, in the face of a wolf like a tiger on the city wall of the Xingtian army generals, did not choose to lay down their arms and surrender, they simply fled directly into the city, Feng garrison also made the last effort, After seeing more and more members of the Xingtian army ascend the city wall, they finally gave up resistance and fled into the city with a few family members.

The remnants of the officers and soldiers and the officials in the city have carried the soft and their families, opened the east gate of the county seat, and the tide poured out of the county, wanting to escape from this place, in the chaos, I don't know how many people were pushed to the ground alive, and were trampled to death in the doorway, and more people were squeezed into the cold moat water under the suspension bridge when they squeezed across the drawbridge, and drowned or froze to death in the moat.

This time, the Xingtian army stormed the county seat of Ruyang County, and did not firmly encircle the county seat of Ruyang, but adopted the tactics of besieging the city according to the old method, only blocking the west gate, north gate and south gate of the county seat, but leaving the east gate to the defenders in the city.

And the defenders did not live up to the expectations of the Xingtian Army, the officials in the city after the siege began, they were all crowded in the east gate of the city, only to wait for the situation is not good, then open the city to escape, and the defenders will naturally not be desperate for this, when the West Gate side of the Xingtian Army just climbed the wall, many people lost their weapons, swarmed to the east gate, and then the east gate was opened, the people in the city immediately leaked out of the city like a flood that opened the gate, and fled to the east of the city in chaos.

However, besieging the city does not mean that they will be allowed to flee like this, after all, the Xingtian Army still has a cavalry team of hundreds of people in its hands, and Situ Liang's cavalry team has long been arranged in a forest five miles east of the city, waiting for them to break out of the city.

Seeing that it was getting late, the east gate suddenly opened, and a large number of officials and defenders began to swarm out from the east gate of the city, Situ Liang sneered, snapped a few times to tighten the saddle of the war horse, turned over and jumped on the war horse, and raised a horse lance to the sky and said: "Brothers, Ruyang City has been broken, these guys want to run, do you say it?" ”

Hundreds of cavalrymen also jumped on horseback when they heard the sound, each raising their weapons and shouting: "No ......"

Immediately, hundreds of people slaughtered out of the forest like a torrent of steel, and rushed towards the routs who had fled from the city.
