When the Liukou's team came to a distance of 500 paces from the city wall, Ma Rufeng ordered: "Archers, release!" ”

Four hundred bows and arrows came out of the way, and the archers began to shoot their arrows incessantly. About four or five arrows per person were able to shoot, and the rogues reached the city.

Zhu Hongsan saw that 2,000 arrows did not have a big effect on the 50,000 rogues on the opposite side of the east gate. Like a small splash, the gap formed by the fallen rogues was quickly filled by the people around them, and no one paid attention to the situation on the side, they only knew that they could run under the city wall.

Under the city wall is a three-meter-wide moat, the river leads to the Shishui River, a large number of displaced people to the river to throw down the soil bags on their backs, and many homeless people were directly shot to death by the river, falling into the river to become river filling stones.

The population base of the rogues was too large, and the three-meter-wide moat was quickly filled. They finally rushed to the city. Set up ladders under the city and start the siege of the city.

There is a dragon stone every 100 meters above the city wall. The broken dragon stone is made of thousands of pounds of boulders, and the stone is cylindrical, which is probably similar to the large mill in the countryside. There was a hole in the middle, and an iron chain the size of an egg was attached, and a winch was attached to the chain. Ten people must push down the slide with force, and the slide is coated with butter to reduce friction.

After the Broken Dragon Stone fell, there was a crying father and mother, and ten soldiers were pushing the winch, slowly lifting the Broken Dragon Stone up, and then throwing it down again, repeatedly doing this to kill and injure the enemy.

When Zhu Hongsan saw the Broken Dragon Stone next to him rising, it was red and white. The red is blood, the white is the brain, and there is even half a piece of the head stuck to it. Zhu Hongsan can't care about the excitement now, because there are people coming up from the ladder.

Zhu Hongsan shouted and prepared to fight, and rushed forward with both hands swinging his horizontal knife. As soon as the first enemy appeared, Zhu Hongsan cut off half of his head with a knife, and the guy fell down screaming, and brought down a few unlucky eggs on the way. Immediately after the second one came up, Zhu Hongsan cut off one of his legs with a knife, this guy lay on the city wall and shouted, and the pikemen on the side came over and shot a few shots to end his life.

At this time, the archers of the rogue below rushed to the city and began to shoot at the city. Zhu Hongsan's team began to suffer casualties.

Zhu Hongsan looked down at the probe of the battlement, and there was a black pressure under the city wall. Not far away, a pot of boiling hot oil was poured on the city wall, and the skin and flesh of the hot underside were opened. The smell of meat wafts in the wind. Zhu Hongsan smelled and remembered his mother's fried meat skin when he was a child, and this was the smell.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the back team of the Liukou, and the ten chariots were already less than two hundred meters away from the city wall. This guy is the main target. Zhu Hongsan turned around and called Wang Xiaobao and shouted: "You take ten people, no one takes five grenades, throw the grenades when you open the springboard when you come to the car, you must blow it up." ”

Wang Xiaobao took people down to make arrangements. Zhu Hongsan then cut people.

Zhu Hongyi is now like a demon, taking turns to open his heavy mace. Knock on the enemies who climb up the city like a whack-a-mole. It's like an old lady in the countryside with a stick to chase a mouse that steals food. Zhu Hongyi swung out a stick, and two or three people fell into the city. Zhu Hongsan followed behind Zhu Hongyi, killing the fish that slipped through the net from time to time.

At this moment, the cart came to the edge of the city wall, and Zhu Hongsan took out a grenade and shouted: "Attention, open the springboard and throw it again." "The soldiers on the side were waiting with a fire fold in one hand and a grenade in the other.

The springboard opened, and Zhu Hongsan lit the lead for the first time and threw it along the gap. Several soldiers on the side threw one after another, and a total of three grenades* were thrown into the box of the cart. At this time, it was melee time, and no one paid attention to the small grenade * bomb. Five or six seconds later, the grenade* exploded, and the carriage was immediately torn apart. The people inside screamed and fell, either falling to their deaths or being forked to death by the blown wood.

Zhu Hongsan's heart moved, and he thought that it was just this time to look at the power of the grenade. took one from the soldier on the side, lit it and threw it down, Zhu Hongsan looked at the battlement.

After a while, the grenade exploded, and the dense crowd below immediately exploded into a space of five or six meters, and the undead let out a scream. Zhu Hongsan nodded, it seems that the power of the grenade * bomb against the dense formation is not bad.

Zhu Hongsan looked up at the other nine carts, five of them had been blown up, and four of them were leaning against the city wall, a large number of rogues poured out of it, and the four city walls had been occupied.

Zhu Hongsan shouted: "Zhao Guodong, take someone to take those places back." Four wagons were blown up. ”

Zhao Guodong shouted and led people to the nearest place. This place is already very critical, and more than 200 people have rushed up, and more people are still climbing up. The officers and soldiers had been forced into the road, and they were thrown off the city wall without reinforcements.

At this time, Zhao Guodong arrived and shouted: "Five grenades." Five grenades* flew out from the side, and the loud explosions and shock waves shook the rogues. This kung fu spearman rushed up in a row of ten, and jumped off the city wall with the guns of the rogue, and a large number of rogues fell to their bones and tendons. There were still more than 20 stragglers left, and they were divided into corpses by the swarms of sword and shield soldiers and officers and soldiers. The carts were also burned.

Zhao Guodong saw that there was no problem here, and led people to kill him. After Zhu Hongsan saw that the danger was lifted, he followed behind Zhu Hongyi to pick up the leak.

In fact, the first wave of rogues looked large in number but their combat effectiveness was not good, because these gangs were all peasants in the first half of the month, and they were all hoes in their hands. This time, he was only used as cannon fodder by Luo Rucai, so as to consume the materials for the official army to defend the city.

It was Luo Rucai's general who was in charge of the east gate, and this guy was originally the border army of Shaanxi and Gansu. Later, when the commander could not pay the salary, he instigated the soldiers to mutiny, killed the commander, and then voted for Luo Rucai. After eight or nine years of war, he also became Luo Rucai's confidant.

He saw below that the cannon fodder troops had already attacked, and they were fighting well so far. The order was given to the 10,000 old battalions assigned to him, and he must take the east gate before noon.

The rogues of this 10,000-old battalion are different from other cannon fodder, they are basically veterans who have fought for several years, plus they eat well and have enough physical strength, so they immediately howl and rush forward after going out.

Zhu Hongsan felt that the pressure was greater, he didn't have much effort before, but now he can press himself to fight. You must know that Zhu Hongsan's people are all horizontal knives, and they are stabbing the broken iron pieces of the upper class one by one.

It was already noon after fighting, Zhu Hongsan looked up and looked around, there were still more than 20 people next to him, all desperately resisting the rogue. Look at the distance the entire east gate defense line has been breached, and now the battle has moved from the battlement to the corridor on the city wall. It can't go on like this, there are too many enemies. Zhu Hongsan shouted: "All those who have grenades* have heard clearly, three per person, hurry up!" ”

This time, there were nearly 1,000 grenades * bombs, and the city wall was immediately filled with smoke, and a large number of rogues were killed and wounded.

Zhu Hong gasped for breath, lying on the head of the city and looking down, the first wave of attacks was repulsed. There were dead bodies everywhere under the walls. There are also those who are not dead moaning down there. The city wall also suffered heavy losses, at the beginning there were more than 200 people around him, now there are less than 100 people, half of which is lost. Look around and it's pretty much the same.

Zhu Hongsan thought that these gangsters were so powerful, and they were not much worse than the official army. Luo Rucai's 300,000 people would be like this, and they would directly unify the world.

Zhu Hongsan was surprised by Liukou's combat effectiveness here. The bombardment on the opposite side was even more surprising, and there were more than 2,000 people left in his 10,000 old battalion troops. Most of them were killed by the earth-shattering thunder at the head of the city just now. When did the heaven-shaking thunder of the official army become so powerful.

Crashing the sky and killing so many people, the main reason is that the dead people haven't taken the city gate yet, so they ordered to kill two small leaders to get angry. Just about to issue an order to continue the siege, then Luo Ru ordered someone to send an order to stop the siege first, the loss was too great.

Seeing that the rogues returned to the camp one after another, Zhu Hongsan knew that today was over. Sit on the ground for a while and get up to organize the rescue of the wounded.

Zhu Hongsan himself was not injured, and he was mainly protected by Zhu Hongyi in front. Zhu Hongyi is not good, his whole body is covered in blood, and the three layers of heavy armor on his body are already broken, but because of the protection of the armor, he has not suffered any injuries, and the main wounds are on the limbs.

The fat man didn't know where he got out, he was fine, he wasn't hurt at all, he probably went where he was hiding. Zhu Hongsan didn't want to deal with him either.

At this time, Zhao Guodong and Ma Rufeng came over, and Zhao Guodong said: "Sir, I just looked at our losses, and now there are less than 300 people who can stand, more than 200 wounded soldiers, less than 100 people who are slightly injured and do not affect their activities, and more than 300 people who are dead. ”

When Zhu Hongsan heard that half of the casualties had been killed, his heart twitched, and it was only the first day, and half of it was gone. I'll be done tomorrow for another day.

Ma Rufeng said: "The officers and soldiers are even worse, there are still 500 of the 2,000 people left, most of whom are wounded. However, the rogues also suffered heavy casualties, and there were more than 20,000 corpses under the city. The last ones to come up just now were the elites of Luo Rucai's old battalion, and they also died a lot, more than us. ”

Zhu Hongsan asked, "How many grenades are left?" ”

Zhao Guodong replied: "We brought five thousand, and there are more than two thousand five hundred left." ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded, the grenade * bomb is still enough, but there are not enough people. At this moment, Tong Yangjia came up, saw Zhu Hongsan coming over and said, "Is the lord okay?" ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "How about below?" ”

Tong Yangjia said: "The south gate was almost broken, and the two thousand households defending the city were all killed, and most of the officers and soldiers were killed or wounded. Now it is Jin Shenghuan's son who is guarding the south gate. The north gate is about the same, more than half of the 5,000 people died, and the grenades * bombs given to them by the lord were all used, and the remaining 2,000 hand grenades * bombs that I had to leave were all gone. The west gate is ok, no one is attacking the city. In an emergency, Jin Shenghuan transferred 500 defenders from the West Gate, and now there are 500 people left to guard the West Gate. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "It's okay, as long as the city is not broken." ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he should have run away in his heart, and it would be enough to stay any longer.
