After beating the drum three times, Xu Jie suddenly decided to cancel the decision of all the patrol teams on the street, so that the coalition forces of the gentry and wealthy families who were preparing to riot planned to annihilate all the patrolling teams by surprise, and the plan to weaken the defending troops in various ways was completely bankrupt, which caught the coalition forces hidden in the alleys and ready to make a move.

The original leading brother once again poked his head out of the alley, looking left and right, the streets and alleys were quiet, it seemed that even the dog felt the danger, and he didn't know where to hide for a long time, and the whole street, and even the entire county, gave people a feeling of dead silence and horror.

Turning his head to the cronies behind him, Xiao Sanzi, he said, "What time is it?" Why hasn't there been any news outside the city? ”

The third son listened to the sound on the drum tower in his ears, and then lowered his voice and said: "The third watch is coming soon, and according to the agreement, the attack outside the city is about to be launched." ”

The eldest brother took a deep breath and whispered to the 270 coalition forces behind him: "I will say it again now, this is a desperate battle of the major families, if anyone dares to be lazy and slippery, my supervising team will be unceremoniously slashed on the spot, and now I order, as long as the shouting and killing outside the city is together, all the people must follow me to rush to the south gate, seize the south gate at all costs, and let the coalition forces outside the city come in." ”

There was no answer behind him, only a nervous whirring voice, in this dead night, it seemed so weird, like a demon from hell.

Cao Meng pressed the command knife on his waist and nervously patrolled the city wall. A big war is absolutely inevitable, now just haven't lifted the lid, I don't know when this big war will break out, in the fierce south wind, there seems to be only the howling of the wind between heaven and earth, and there is no other sound, which is indeed nervous and uneasy, and the uncertain danger is the most nervous.

And at this time, in this darkness, not far from the south gate, suddenly there was a little ghost fire-like light flickering, and this little ghost fire immediately made Cao Meng's pupils shrink violently: "Here, everything has begun." ”

That little ghost fire, in the whistling cold wind, slowly divided into two, two into four, just in the blink of an eye, it has formed a prairie fire to the sky, and finally formed a sea of torches outside the city, I don't know how many enemies there are in the dark, but there is no need to determine, the reality has appeared in front of you, it is much better than staying in the uncertainty all the time, but it is just a soldier to block the water to the earth, everyone is really swords, and the last one is a real gun.

Cao Meng's adrenal glands began to secrete violently, an inexplicable excitement before the battle, which made him energetic, and he involuntarily twitched, and the waist knife on his waist shouted at the soldiers around him: "The archers are on standby, and the pikemen are on full alert, we have to let these rabble take a look, our Lu family army is invincible in the world." ”

As his military order was issued, the 250 soldiers in charge of guarding the south gate shouted together: "Fight to the death and not retreat, fight to the death and not retreat." ”

Yes, now on this section of the city wall, there are only 250 soldiers, and a thousand soldiers have gone out of the city with Zhang Yan, and the four gates of the entire county town are only guarded by a few thousand soldiers, and they are divided into each section of the city wall, and the strength is pitiful, but even this thin strength is deafening and full of confidence at this time.

Just after Cao Meng gave the order, there were suddenly bursts of noisy shouts and killings in the county town, and in the dark alleys, ghost-like figures continued to rush onto the streets, the enemies one after another! According to their original arrangement, some rushed to the county office, some rushed to the county office's warehouse, but more of them rushed to the city gate holes of the four city gates, and their purpose was to cooperate with the companions attacking outside the city to seize the city gate.

Xu Jie and Cao Meng had long expected that there would be an enemy response in the city, but the strength in their hands was indeed weak, and it was impossible to cope with this huge change, and they didn't know how many rebels there were in the city. The city can be left to chaos, as long as you hold the city wall and meet the Zhang Yan army that will turn over and kill not far away, then although the entire county is lost, it is equivalent to no loss.

But at this time, seeing the black and oppressive crowd in the city, Cao Meng couldn't help but take a deep breath, he was really a little shocked, he really didn't expect that there would be so many rebels in the city! In the blink of an eye, the street in front of the city gate was paved.

However, Cao Meng was shocked, but he was still confident in guarding the city gate and welcoming the return of Zhang Yan's army outside the city.

The reason why Cao Meng is so confident is that the street in front of the city gate is narrow, and as long as he has a hundred brothers, he can completely block those rabble. The tactics of the three-fold gun formation have been tested in the last Zhao family war, and it is indeed a sharp weapon for defense and attack, and the 150 brothers in the city, with the cooperation of the lord's longbow, can hold out for an hour.

So Cao Meng ordered one after another: "Light the beacon fire, release the news to General Zhang, the hundred spearmen guarding the city gate will immediately line up in a three-fold formation, I don't care how many you are, you must do whatever it takes, hold the city gate hole, all the soldiers in the city, don't care about the battle of the city gate, go all out to deal with the enemy outside, now our goal is to hold out for two hours and wait for General Zhang's reinforcements to come back." ”

Hundreds of brothers agreed together, and the dry wood that had been poured with fire oil outside the city gate tower was immediately ignited by the torches, and the fire that soared to the sky immediately illuminated the vast world and spread the danger of the county town far away.

The south gate is the key attack direction of the coalition army, and here, there are 8,000 coalition troops, led by Ding Mao, the most capable nephew of the Ding family.

Ding Mao is the rising star of the younger generation of the Ding family in addition to Ding Li, in the previous family fights, he not only showed courage and fearlessness, but also acted resolutely, calm and witty, and won the favor of the old family owner.

In fact, in terms of trust, it is deeper than the too good Ding Li, so this time the commander of the army to seize the county seat, this heavy responsibility was naturally handed over to this Ding Mao.

Looking up at the thuding beacon fire on the city gate, Ding Mao's expression couldn't help but change: "It's not good, our original plan has made a mistake, that Zhang Yan who went south to quell the chaos is definitely not fooled, he must be hiding somewhere outside the city, ready to lead us to launch, and then come to an inside and outside cooperation." ”

Ding Mao was able to make such an accurate judgment, which really surprised the people around him, because from the unusual action of the enemy suddenly igniting a beacon fire, all the people with a little brain felt the danger here, so they stared at Ding Mao nervously one by one, waiting for his decision.
