Under the stone city, it has been shrouded in a thick atmosphere of blood and fireworks.

The defense soldier Niu Er was forcibly driven away, and some cowered and hid in the crowd of each other, and walked forward slowly, holding the hand card and round shield in his hand, which could only give people a symbolic false sense of security.

Because, although even if there is this thing, it will inevitably be beaten to the end, but at least it can ensure that after the previous one is shot, it will not continue to penetrate and hit the body of the descendants, so that it will inevitably have a moment of survival and a chance of survival.

He was originally a local pimp from Jiangning Mansion, and he mingled with a group of rogue teenagers in the market all day long, forming large and small groups according to different neighborhoods, and fighting each other on the streets, and from time to time living a life of eating the last meal and not the next meal, no matter who came, it did not affect their free and easy wandering days.

Even after the Southern Dynasty Liang took over the local area, they were idle street scoundrel teenagers, and they did not receive much change and peace, until one day, the situation suddenly became tense, and they, the prodigal people in the city, were also searched out of the neighborhoods where they were hiding in waves, and sent to the army with a lasel.

For example, Yang Zhi, a stupid big man known as the "blue-faced beast" who was known as the best boxer on the street, was said to have died in the rush and couldn't even find his bones.

Before and after the two Northern Expeditions, I don't know how many people died on the way to the north, or they filled in a trench somewhere in the Central Plains; However, Niu Er's luck was slightly better, he had been hiding better because he was familiar with the situation in the place, so he was searched for it very late.

Then, with a sum of money entrusted to him by others, he bribed off the military officials who were responsible for distributing them, and was able to leave it in the defense army that had been built up in Jiangning Province; Relying on the advantage of being familiar with the local streets, he became an officer from outside the ridge in the defense army, and since then he has lived a rather nourishing life and daily life.

even relied on privately collecting money from those wanderers on the street, and during the inspection period several times a year, he recruited people to make up the number, gathered a small amount of money, and raised the powder that washes his hands and did not dry them;

It's a pity that good days don't always last much, with the end of the Second Northern Expedition of the Great Liang Dynasty, the newly appointed Jiangning stayed behind Ning Dashuai, and began to drastically clean up and rectify their local defense system, which was uneven and hid in the rear as a prestige.

For a time, the generals and officers of the former defense army, who had always relied on shortages to make profits and were good at framing scenes, were all taken down one by one and questioned for their crimes, and were replaced by some old soldiers outside the mountain who were not easy to deal with at all and who were serious in everything.

So in the end, idle characters like Niu Er were also checked out one after another, and they were listed in a separate book and were only to be sent home; This time, no matter how he drilled and drilled, he couldn't change the result;

Despite this, relying on the little net worth he has mixed up in the past few years, even if he doesn't mess around in the army, it is still enough for him to live freely for a while.

It's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, and who wants that there will be new events and accidents, and in order to gather enough and sufficient numbers of people to maintain the order of the streets, and to put him in handy, these people who are waiting to be eliminated.

So the good news was that he didn't have to retire for the time being, and now the bad news is that he, as a member of the defense army, must be driven by swords and guns to attack the "rebels" who have stolen the foothold in Stone Town.

When the sharp whistle on the wall comes to mind, it's the moment of despair when their nightmare comes.

The lead pellets that swept down from the head and head of the city rained down on the crowd of people who were rushing forward, and suddenly most of the people in the process of running turned into corpses lying on stakes.

Since a few days ago, the negotiation has turned into a sneak attack and forcible seizure by the cold man that night, and then in front of the other party who has been prepared and prepared for battle, after a painful return, it has become an armed attack by ants in the daytime.

I saw that the rows and rows of firearms were almost endless, and the soldiers and brave soldiers who had been specially selected to hold large rows and baffles were also like stacked firewood, piling up in circles on the ground near the wall.

The flowing blood soaked every crack in the stone floor on the spot,

The archers and firearms used to provide cover and suppression could not shoot back at the Huai soldiers who were hiding behind the cover, but were attracted by several rounds of fire, which disrupted the formation head-on, and hastily retreated and regrouped.

Then, the rear-guard who did not give up, and in accordance with the usual means of attacking fortifications, ordered people to levy and tie up hundreds of large vehicles with blocking plates as cover, covering the armored foot soldiers to rush to the city wall, and then they were thrown by the fire and thunder bombs and flammable materials dropped on the wall, and the people who were blown up on the spot turned on their backs, burned and were defeated

Therefore, in the end, the old and weak soldiers in these defense armies who were supposed to be eliminated were pulled up and forcibly driven to fill the trenches, so as to consume as much as possible the reserves of medicine and equipment of the Huai army at the head of the city.

Suddenly, the officer in charge of leading them burst into a thin spring of blood, and the sound of fried beans and firecrackers sounded again at the head of the city, which suddenly shocked their guards in all kinds of panic and rushed to retreat.

Looking at the frightened crowd that receded like a tide, and the corpses they left behind, most of them were pushed down and trampled to death by themselves.

"It's just a bunch of cowards."

At the head of the city, Yang Zhi, the deputy captain of the regiment nicknamed "Blue-faced Beast", who was once Niu Er's old man, also sneered and put down the horizontal knife in his hand to command the salvo, and picked up a multi-barreled handcuff again.

"There's no decent manpower left."

Then he turned to the left and right.

"Go back and bring me more bamboo."

"To deal with these guards, just burn some firecrackers."

"There's no need to spend any more money on them."

There are not many other things in this huge stone town, but the thick bamboo forest used as a gardening decoration is full of countless results.

At the end of Yang Zhi's line of sight, in front of the fortifications and defensive lines that had been constructed, the defeated defenders had been re-intercepted, and several heads were cut off on the spot, and they were forcibly regrouped.

Then, in turn, he picked up something else, and the timid ones were driven up again. It's just that Yang Zhi saw it in the mirror, and couldn't help sneering again.

"Are you planning to pile up dirt and climb the city?"

"It's a shame that they're bothering to do so."

Immediately, he said to the flag official beside him

"Blow the trumpet and whistle right away."

"Prepare for free fire."

"Pay attention to saving the sub-medicine. Find a worthy target and then fight. ”

Often unknown

After another half an hour, Chang Weiming, the deputy envoy of the left-behind division who was supervising the battle in the rear, only felt that he was going to be angry by these guards who accompanied the capital;

He is one of the few generals in the country, and the leader of the New Beiren Party, Sun Jingbang, a close figure from Sun Zonggang's pocket, and he can be regarded as a fairly knowledgeable general, but his luck is not good, and he is still hovering in the class of the commander in the crusade.

It wasn't until his benefactor and old boss came out to retake charge and preside over the situation that he was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Quan Stay-behind Division, a position that only ambassadors and ministers can be qualified for in Fang Town; Therefore, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of him, he can only go all out and perform desperately.

But as the so-called is that he has been fighting horses for most of his life, he has faced all kinds of enemies and allies; But I have never seen such a brazen and greedy army that is afraid of death, no wonder that after the head of Ning took over the Jiangning Mansion, the first big move was to rectify these defense troops.

This time they behaved even more unbearable, and they didn't go far at all; As long as the sound of the city's head is sounded, someone will fall, and he will hurriedly drop the burden in his hand and immediately turn like the wind on the spot, hoping that his father and mother will not give birth to one more leg, and everyone will turn into a scud and a road wandering god, and rush down with a fearless momentum;

As a result, the main offensive sequence that he had originally arranged to follow up was congested in the middle of the road head-on. Then, after delaying for a moment and the fighters, they finally dredged the direction and route of the attack, and as a result, they were given all kinds of dirt bags discarded halfway, and the irregular undulating high and low obstacles were created, and the pit was covered with blood.

After these three times, no one is willing to "fight together" with these puppeteers who are not willing to pay for their lives;

However, what is even worse is that their slackness and laziness have even begun to affect and affect the new force brought by these field assignments.

Especially in the case of a sunny day and a hot season, and the long battle has not even been able to touch a single hair on the side of the city wall, it is even more annoying and unbearable.

Then, the water and heatstroke medicine that Jiangning Mansion was supposed to provide were never fully prepared, which inevitably made these people who rushed forward lightly and were ordered to enter the city to quell the rebellion even more complaining and criticizing.

Thinking of this, Chang Weiming became more and more emaciated and his chest was stuffy, and then, suddenly, he clutched his chest and fell down, and couldn't help but cry out from the left.

"Permanent Vice"

"The deputy envoy."

"The Lord."

Then, someone noticed that a cloud of blood quickly dispersed under his robe, and turned into a terrible roar.

"There's an enemy attack."

。。。。。。。。

And a moment ago, in the outer Guocheng Fang near Stone Town, Quan Liu, a veteran hunter who had covered the camouflaged felt cloth, also prostrated on the roof of a barn full of soot and the smell of guano.

Slowly moving the special firearm with elongated legs, aiming at the back of a helmet and armor wearing a vermilion coat on the high platform in the distance, he exhaled lightly and slowly buckled his hair, and then saw that the target seemed to be hit sideways by something, and suddenly leaned towards something and fell to the ground.

Then someone rushed out nearby to support him, and he hurriedly carried it down, leaving only a series of thin blood lines spilled on the lookout.

Then, the camps and battle lines that were besieging Stone Town suddenly became commotion and excitement as if they had exploded.
