The firelight and axe shadow at the city gate swayed wildly, like a group of demons dancing wildly. And the chaos in the city is also difficult to eliminate for a while, the ghosts and ghosts appear again, like a hundred ghosts walking at night, people and horses are fighting endlessly under the light of the flames, ordinary people all close the door, listen to the sound of Jin Ge Iron Horse, trembling in the dark night waiting for the dawn of the cessation of the war.

There are many inconveniences in the night melee riding horses, Dian Wei, who is in charge of patrolling the defense of the city at night, has abandoned his war horse, holds a long knife, and fights loudly, and his loud voice is like a thunderstorm at night, frightening the horses to neigh and avoid the road, and the chaotic army hesitates to retreat.

Dian Wei's beard was like a halberd, and his tower-like figure splashed a lot of blood, coupled with the double iron halberds on his back, he looked like a killing god in the firelight. He wiped a handful of blood beads from his beard with a long knife in his hand, and asked the guards beside him:

"How's the granary going?"

"The number of rebels attacking the granary is not large, most of them are firing rockets, trying to ignite firewood and create chaos, the soldiers guarding the granary are alert, the grain and grass that were ignited by the rockets have been extinguished, and the rebels are taking advantage of the night to disperse into the city, and they are still creating riots in the city!"

"A little ants, don't worry about them yet, where is there still a large rebel army in the city, have the soldiers sent from the official temple come back?"

"There are still a large number of rebels and patrolling soldiers in the streets west of the city, and the two sides are falling into a scuffle, and there is a fire outside the west gate, I am afraid that a rebel army is attacking the city. And the returning soldiers reported that the official temple was also besieged by the chaotic army, and the military order of General Zhonglang was not clear for the time being! ”

"What about the military horses?"

"The military Sima ordered all departments to guard the camp, don't give the rebellious army an opportunity, the camp has sent soldiers and horses to gallop to the city gate and the official temple!"

"There are fires everywhere in this city, there must be rebel armies scattered in all directions, and the leader of the rebel army must be killed as soon as possible, and the rebellion can be quelled, you all come with me!"

Dian Wei's thinking is different from Meng Tu, in his opinion, in this kind of chaotic night battle, it is more necessary to take the initiative to attack, cut through the chaos quickly, and blindly passively and strictly defend, but it will create opportunities for the chaotic army to make chaos.

As soon as he beckoned, he asked the soldiers to lead his mounts, then turned over and rode towards the streets of Xicheng, and the soldiers around him understood Dian Wei's fighting style, and did not dissuade them, and they rode their horses or walked quickly.

In the dark night, Dian Wei didn't have to scruples, rode his horse and galloped, rampage through the streets of the city, and soon followed the sound to the streets west of the city where the scuffle was still going on.

The streets were fought at night, and the usual formations had no effect, and the soldiers fought separately, nothing more than shieldmen in front of them to defend against arrows, spearmen to assassinate each other, and archers to climb the inner walls of the streets, condescendingly, and shoot the enemy with arrows.

The rebel army originally came to the west gate, but the streets in this area were the most densely populated place for patrol soldiers, and at first they were able to rush through when they encountered the patrol soldiers of Shiwu, but after encountering the assembled brigade of patrol soldiers, the two sides fell into a state of confrontation.

The night battle of large-scale men and horses, on the contrary, will be more chaotic, the two sides are deadlocked, each relying on the inner wall, street corners to fire arrows, forming a formation, after the horse came close, the reins of the horse, while waiting for the men and horses to follow, while carrying the shield, observing the soldiers of both sides caught in the melee.

The armor of the rebel army is the same as that of the soldiers in Linjin City, the only difference is that a strip of cloth is tied on the left arm that has been torn off the clothes on the body.

Under the firelight, Dian Wei had gathered fifty or sixty soldiers behind him, he pointed to the enemy troops on the side of the battle, and said:

"We are now in the southeast, northwest is the rebellious army, they have strips of cloth tied to their arms, I will clash first, you follow, all with short soldiers to throw spears, give up spears, bows and arrows, and make a noise, be sure to beat the rebellious army with one blow!"

After finishing speaking, Dian Wei didn't say anything more, dismounted and abandoned the long knife, replaced the shield and iron halberd, and brought a number of halberds around his waist, and then shouted violently, strode towards the chaotic army in the northwest, and the other soldiers also clamored up, each holding a short soldier, throwing spears, and shouting "Kill the thieves in peace" and rush up.

The rebellious archers on the inner wall were originally shooting at the patrolling guards, but suddenly rushed out from the darkness to kill a group of men, and hurriedly turned the arrows and aimed at Dian Wei, who was the leader of the charge.

The "boom" arrow hit the shield, making a muffled sound, Dian Wei's arm sank, and he had already strode under the cover of the night, approaching the formation of the rebels, he shouted, his right arm waved towards the inner wall, and a halberd had been thrown towards the nearest rebel archer, who could not dodge in the height, and fell down from the inner wall.

Dian Wei took advantage of the gap where an archer fell, walked sideways, blocked several spears with his shield, and threw a halberd to solve a rebellious archer, but he ran quickly, tripped over a corpse in the dark, and his tower-like body fell forward, and the soldiers who rushed up suddenly lowered their spears, and the archers fired arrows in his direction, and suddenly the sound of arrows in flesh and blood was heard.

Seeing that this suddenly killed killing god fell to the ground and was hit by an arrow, the chaotic army suddenly cheered, and the corporal under the command of Dian Wei, who followed the rush to kill, also exclaimed again and again, and did not avoid the arrows and fought forward, approaching the chaotic army, wanting to rescue Dian Wei who fell to the ground.

"Wait, wait!"

Several soldiers held shields to resist the arrows, and on the other hand, they reached out to pull Dian Wei on the ground, and after the tentacles, they only felt a blur of flesh and blood, and in a hurry, they only heard a familiar shout.

"This damn roadblock corpse, the harm is almost in the hands of these pawns."

Dian Wei broke free from under the corpse, covered in blood, looking terrible, he had just tripped over the corpse, the bows and arrows of the chaotic army, spears and spears, he had no time to dodge, he could only rise to the divine power, the corpse to the body, the fire faintly, everyone did not pause to distinguish, only felt that the arrows, spears broke into the flesh, flesh and blood splashed, and he would definitely die.

Dian Wei's beard was stained with blood, in fact, he was only slightly injured, he smiled, and got up with the iron halberd and shield again, at this time, the patrolling soldiers had also taken advantage of the momentum of Dian Wei's soldiers to rush and kill, converged, and killed the enemy army from both directions.

"Let's go, get on the horse, I'll go to the official temple!"

Dian Wei, who had just escaped death, ignored the minor injuries on his body, he looked at the defeated rebel army here, and he couldn't raise the interest of chasing and killing again, so he let the other patrolling soldiers go to chase and kill, and he turned to greet his own soldiers and continued to go in the direction of the official temple in the northeast corner.

···

Linjin City, official temple.

The gate of the official temple has been broken by the candidate Bai Bo's old department with a striking wood, the door latch has been broken twice, and the earth and stone blocking the door behind it have also fallen down in a loud voice, and the excited candidate soldiers screamed, threw down the collision wood, and held the blade, and were about to rush into the official temple.

After all, the official temple is not as good as the city with high walls and deep ravines, although Ganling commanded the soldiers to shoot the rebels desperately, but they could not stop the rebels from fearing death, desperately shielded the left and right with shields, and then made concerted efforts to hit the gate of the official temple.

It's just that the moment he stepped into the gate, the soldier who wanted to rush in with the shield was hit by an arrow in his lower body, and the severe pain hit him and couldn't stand, but he was rushed to the ground by the soldiers who poured in from behind, and the soldiers behind were also killed and injured by a large number of arrows and spears from all sides, and after a small amount of breakthroughs, they hit the shield of the sergeant of the official temple.

Without this barrier at the gate of the official temple, the soldiers in the official temple are already inevitably going to intersect with the chaotic soldiers who rushed in.

Ma Yunlu's archery skills are very good, although she has been covered by one of the remaining guards outside the hall, but she is still holding a bow and arrow, and continues to fire arrows, shooting and killing the enemy.

It's a pity that Ma Yunlu, who has outstanding archery skills, has also become the direction of the archers of the rebellious army, and a soldier guarding her was hit by a stray arrow, shot in the neck, and was killed directly, and with the gate of the official temple being breached, the soldiers who opened bows and arrows on the wall were also withdrawn, forming a team formation to resist the chaotic army that rushed in.

Gan Ling would not let Ma Yunlu come forward to fight, but she still couldn't bear to watch, and continued to hold a bow and arrow, looking for an opportunity to shoot the enemy. From Pingyang to Pi's, and then from Pi's to Linjin, they crossed the river, all the way to the west, far away from the countryside, fighting desperately, and had long become a man who was not afraid of death and licked blood with a knife.

This time with the candidates to make a rebellion, most of these chaotic troops are old departments, or dissatisfied with the strict military law in the Hedong Army, or want to live the kind of outlaw and wanton life again, in short, they all have the idea of fighting for glory and wealth, and if they don't enter now, they will die, so no one shirks and hesitates, and they are bent on fighting, wanting to capture the official temple, capture Ganling, and use him to control the entire Linjin City.

The courage of this group of rebels has exceeded Ganling's imagination, he saw the candidates who shouted loudly in the chaos and commanded the rapid attack, frowned, he has seen it, and also verified why in just a few days, rumors can spread in the city and the army, and tonight's rebel army is familiar with the road, and can take advantage of the location of the roads in the city to make chaos and set fires.

Among the batch of white waves that surrendered to Yan Xing, Yang Feng's original status was the highest, but Yang Feng, who was not ambitious, was also feared by the Xiliang army, and he and the candidates were weakened in strength, and were transferred to Pi Shi and Xihe, acting as the vanguard of the leading formation.

In the army under Yan Xing's command, although the military discipline is declared, but it is also clear rewards and punishments, if you can win a military merit, you may not be able to stand out again, and the candidate has always had this idea in his heart.

Until the day Yang Bong found him.

Taking refuge in Li Dao and Guo Yan, offering the cities of Xihe, obtaining glory and wealth, and the power of soldiers and horses has also risen, which is faster and better than looking for military merits under the command of Yan Xing, Gan Ling and others, but it also has to take huge risks.

But the candidate was originally a strong background attached to Bai Bo, and the two interests were in front of him, and he was inclined to win wealth and glory, but he was soon persuaded by Yang Feng and chose the road of raising an incident and offering the city.

Although Gan Ling, Meng Tu and others noticed in advance that the incident was different from the original plan and became hastily raised, it was not only their soldiers and horses who were confused and hesitated by this hasty raising of troops, but also the soldiers and horses in the city who fell into chaos are also clear proof, perhaps, some of them also listened to their own rumors and planned to sit back and watch the situation change.

The candidate has now commanded his old troops to break through the gate of the official temple, and victory is close at hand, he continued to call for the soldiers to step up the attack, hoping to be able to attack the official temple immediately, but at this time, there was a sound of gold from the official temple.

Jin Ji, that is, the Diao bucket used by the sergeant of the army, Diao Dou copper has a handle, can accommodate a bucket, the body is basin-shaped, there is a three-legged thin handle under the upward curve, and the mouth is flowing. In the army, the sergeants can cook food during the day, and at night they can beat to patrol the watch.

The voice of the golden watchman, one slow and four fast, was repeated several times, but in the ears of the candidates and others, it was like a muffled thunder explosion, which shocked people's hearts.

Listening to the sound of the golden watch, the hour has passed.

For the candidates for the uprising, the passage of time was as if their lives were passing, and in this dark night, they were able to bluff, use the location of the streets to block the soldiers and horses in the city, and set fire to create more chaos.

But if they can't attack the official temple or control the whole city before dawn, then these chaotic soldiers will soon be surrounded like turtles in the urn, and when the sky is bright and the city gate is closed, there is no way to escape, and there is nowhere to hide if you want to hide, and it is inevitable that you will be defeated.

The candidate's heart was suddenly in turmoil, he rushed out of the barracks, then divided the troops to create chaos, and finally went to the Guan Temple, how much time was spent in his heart and there was no clear grasp in his heart, and his heart was agitated under the desperate bet, only feeling that time had flown by, where could he still distinguish the hour, he could only put it to death and come back to life, and shouted desperately:

"Now the sky is about to dawn, only by capturing the official temple, we can have a glimmer of life, two or three sons, rush in with me!"

Under the danger of the candidate, he chose to take the lead in the charge, he held a knife and a shield, and rushed forward bravely with more than a dozen personal guards, and rushed into the official temple in one fell swoop, but he was also greeted by a spear and a sharp arrow, but the candidate was wearing armor and holding a shield, and there were personal guards and subordinates, but he was not shot, but with the momentum of this new force charge and the encouragement of the main general, his soldiers glowed with a more fiery fighting spirit.

In the official temple, the formation formed by the Ganling guards and soldiers was rushed to a crumbling position by the candidates, and the candidates rushed forward bravely, splitting two spears, and the guards around him took the lead, poured into the gap, struck left and right, and tore a hole in the formation, and the spears stabbed out, and the chaotic army behind also shouted and poured up.

Gan Ling stood in front of the hall, commanding his personal guards and soldiers to line up to resist the impact of the rebel army, at this moment seeing the formation shaken, there were only a few guards around him, and there were no other reserves, so he could only change into a long knife and stride towards the rebel army.

The guards around Ma Yunlu also rushed forward, and at this moment she was the only one standing in front of the hall, she looked at the soldiers on both sides who had fallen into a desperate fight, gritted her teeth, and pulled out the bow and arrow again, she ventured to aim at the crowd, holding her breath and concentrating, and her ears seemed to sound again the muttering of her father when she learned to shoot as a child, and then fell into an ethereal state.

I don't know how long it took, but she heard only a bang in her ears, a bowstring sounded, and arrows shot out in her hand, and then calm returned, only for a moment of chaos in the chaotic army.

At this time, Ma Yunlu also returned to her current state, she tilted her ears slightly, and the stirring sound of Jin Ji sounded in the official temple again.
