Guo Chengdong looked at the crowd that was flustered again, and could only order to his own soldiers: "Go find our people, let them lead people to find the place where the army is entering the city, and block them!" Let them burn the ladder of the invading army, and never let the invading army come up! ”

"Yes!" A few of the soldiers agreed and immediately ran towards the walls on both sides. Guo Chengdong himself, on the other hand, loaded his guns and ammunition, and began to look for them on the city wall. Don't look at the shouting of the soldiers and people in the city, but it was all panicked and false, and when they heard someone shouting that the enemy was coming, they also followed the shouting and ran around, in fact, they didn't see where the enemy was at all. So they had to find out for themselves where the enemy had landed in the city.

Although the city is in chaos now, it is not completely helpless. Due to the increased production of bombs, they could have twenty bombs stored in every ten battlements. It was impossible for the invading army to erect two long ladders between the ten battlements, otherwise their men would be too concentrated under the city, resulting in a large number of casualties. So these twenty bombs can also play a considerable role.

Guo Chengdong led the only two remaining soldiers and advanced in the panicked crowd. They did not have time to stop the panic of the army and civilians, they had to find the enemy's position as soon as possible and prevent the enemy from ascending the city, otherwise everything would be out of control.

Finally, in the middle of the two torches, where the light could barely reach, they saw a man who had just jumped from the battlement to the wall.

Guo Chengdong immediately approached with his own soldiers, wanting to get rid of this intruding soldier. But as soon as they got a few steps closer, a black figure suddenly stood up from behind the sandbag, and the spear stabbed directly at Niu Hong, a soldier who was walking in front. Niu Hong was completely defenseless, and the spear pierced directly through the chain mail, stabbing deep into his abdomen.

Guo Chengdong subconsciously turned his handcuff and immediately pulled the trigger. There was a "bang", and the intruder immediately fell down with a scream. He left the handcuff without ammunition on the sandbag, and immediately went to draw his sword, but at this time, the intruder who had just come up rushed over with a shield and a waist knife.

Another of his own soldiers immediately stepped forward and calmly stabbed his spear at the enemy. He stabbed not in the chest and abdomen, but in the thigh of the enemy, where there was no protection.

When the intruder saw the danger, he immediately restrained his sprint, blocked the spear with his shield, and struck the barrel with the back of his sword, trying to pick the dangerous spear away.

But at this time, Guo Chengdong held a long knife in both hands, rushed forward with an arrow step, and stabbed the enemy in the chest. At this time, the shield and waist knife of the invading soldier went down to deal with the spear, and the door in front of his chest was wide open. He had no choice but to dodge. However, he was trying his best to block the spear, and his center of gravity was already forward, and it was difficult to change his movements for a while, so he could only tilt slightly to the left.

With a thud, Guo Chengdong's sharp long knife pierced through the armor of the intrusive army and stabbed into his right shoulder. The intruder ducked backwards in pain, and the shield in his left hand unconsciously lifted upward. At this time, the spear that had just been blocked stabbed by lightning again, and hit the intruder in the abdomen. At this time, the army seemed to be pulled out of his spine, and instantly screamed and withered.

Guo Chengdong quickly withdrew his long knife, ignoring the injured soldiers, and ordered: "Go and hold there!" ”

After that, he hurried around to find a place to place the bomb. Fortunately, the location chosen by Chuang Jun was very close to the location where the bomb was placed, and Guo Chengdong found it after a while. He took out the fire medium and lit a bomb fuse. But instead of striking immediately, he watched as the lead burned. When only a third of the fuse remained, he gently threw the bomb out.

A "boom" explosion sounded in mid-air, and the soldiers who were entering the city at this time were affected by the explosion, and the soldiers who were about to go to the city did not dare to move on the ladder, and the waist knife in their mouths was also thrown away due to fright. And the breaking army in the middle position was directly swept down by the shock wave.

Guo Chengdong continued to drop two more bombs, and when he saw that there was no intruder army coming up closely, his nervous mood calmed down a little. After observing the situation under the city walls, he dropped the bomb on the enemy's dense area, allowing the bomb to be used to the fullest.

In the rumbling explosion, the intruder soldier with only one shield left finally showed his head carefully. He knew that the defenders at the head of the city were already prepared, and he did not dare to come up. But the rumbling explosions below continued, and the bottom of the ladder seemed to have been hit, and he felt so swaying on it that it seemed that it might be blown up and fall at any moment, and he had to climb to the top of the city.

But as soon as he showed his head, he saw a spear stabbing at him. He used his shield to fend off. But it was accompanied by a cry of "Kill!" The spear's stab was blocked and came again as soon as it was blocked, and it was extremely powerful. He tried to tilt his shield to protect himself and keep the spear slipping away.

However, he only held out a few times, and was forced by great force to not grasp the long ladder, but with a long cry of fear, he fell from the top of the city five feet high.

Guo Chengdong poked his head out to observe again, and saw that the thieves under the city had been dispersed, and there were no soldiers on the long ladder. He couldn't wait for the oil to come for a while, so he began to arrest the soldiers and Minzhuang who were running around nearby one by one, and ordered them to guard here.

He took a torch and threw it down, shouting to the soldiers and people who had been captured: "See for yourselves, the thieves below have been dispersed, and no one has come to the city!" All you have to do is stay here and drop bombs at the thieves when they gather again. Some came up, as they did during the day, and picked them down! There aren't many of them, they haven't attacked yet! The bombs will be replenished in a moment, you don't have to worry. ”

The soldiers and civilians cautiously looked down and saw that what the officer said was true. Looking at the chaotic surroundings again, it seems that the people who are screaming and running around are their own people, and they don't even see a single thief.

Guo Chengdong saw that these people had already settled down, so he then ordered: "You help appease these cowards, and I will ask you for credit after dawn." ”

After asking the names of several people, he settled Niu Hong, a pro-soldier who had lost his breath, and took the only remaining pro-soldier to other places for reinforcements.

As time passed, amid the sound of explosions, Li Zicheng's troops near the long ladder scattered and fled. Then their long ladder burst into flames in the night, dispelling the darkness around them and making the bombs falling from the city more accurate.

Li Zicheng watched from a distance as one long ladder after another was ignited, and he knew that this night raid, which had been pinned on high hopes, had failed, so he had to give the order to retreat. He also sensed that it seemed that this kind of conventional siege was not effective, and that other methods should be used.
