The biggest difference between Tang Xidong and everyone in this era is that he has no idea of monarchy, no fear of the government, and no foolish loyalty to the Confucian monarch.

Some just try to keep themselves and everyone around them alive.

When the officers and soldiers are coming, they must defeat the officers and soldiers, and when the rebels come, they must be driven back.

The world may not belong to him, but Luoliang Mountain belongs to him.

Therefore, there is only a counterattack in front of him, no fear, no retreat!

The officers and men who had stalled in the offensive finally resumed the offensive after resting.

This time, the other party began to change formation, and in the dense movement of human heads, Tang Xidong began to understand the other party's intentions, but he knew that the officers and soldiers leading the team knew the art of war, so he was doubly cautious in his heart!

Tang Xidong nervously and carefully observed the formation of the officers and soldiers again, and then the moment he understood the other party's intentions, his face became ugly!

The officers and soldiers began to abandon Xincheng and ignore it, and threw themselves on the side of Luoliang Mountain.

The changes I had been fearing before appeared.

When the tactics against the enemy were first formulated, Tang Xidong knew that the two city walls were both good and bad, if the other party was bent on dividing the troops, it would be powerful against the cottage, and if the opponent only focused on attacking one side, it would expose his weakness - the lack of troops in the cottage.

The reason why he appeared on the side of Xincheng was to prevent the other party from focusing on one side of the attack, and he was the bait, but unfortunately the other party's leader was really shrewd, and he actually saw through his intentions and chose the base camp on the other side.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers who adjusted the formation seemed to be preparing to attack the city wall at the foot of Luoliang Mountain.

Tang Xidong frowned, thinking in his heart.

Is the other party really preparing to attack like this, or is it ready to attack the east and west?

But soon the officers and soldiers gave him the answer.

The officers and soldiers under the new city still set up a battle line composed of sword and shield soldiers and archers at fifty paces, apparently to suppress and defend themselves, while the remaining officers and soldiers swarmed under the wall of Luoliang Mountain.

At this moment, the sword and shield soldiers and archers of the other side under the city also seemed to have drawn a part into the opposite siege team.

A shout was heard in the distance, and then the officers and soldiers began to attack the wall of Luoliang Mountain.

Helplessness and worry rose in Tang Xidong's heart.

I hope that Li Shangquan can hold on and let his backup strategy be implemented.

————

The officers and soldiers began to sprint towards the city, and many soldiers were again surrounded behind the original ladder.

Before the battle, in the face of the trench dug at the foot of Luoliang Mountain, it was impossible for Zhang Xiahai to collect his troops and wait for the officers and soldiers to fill the trench with their lives, and then advance the ladder to attack the city.

Therefore, his strategy was to call in the high shields of some of the sword and shield men, and directly let the soldiers cushion on the trench and let the ladder pass.

Under the city wall, the bow and arrow were still suppressed and covered.

The larger number of musketeers and archers fired a dense stream of marbles and arrows at the crowd hiding behind battlements and shields on the walls.

Overhead, there was the sound of officers and soldiers flying arrows colliding, and everyone on the suppressed city wall did not dare to raise their heads.

Under the city, the sword and shield bearers carried tall shields first, crossed the ditch and set the shield on the ditch so that the ladder behind could pass through.

Even so, the trenches laid out in the east of Tang Xidong still caused the officers and men to suffer a lot.

Just past one of the revealed trenches and falling straight into another.

Although there were dozens of casualties, the five ladders still advanced under the city and began to erect the ladders under the operation of the operator.

On the city wall, Li Shangquan observed the siege process under the city very steadily, after the offensive just now, the hearts of everyone in the city were a lot more stable, at least the officers and soldiers left a lot of corpses, and the officers and soldiers were not so strong that they could not fight back.

At this moment, the ladder under the city began to lean against the city wall.

Li Shangquan didn't dare to wait any longer, hid behind the battlements, and shouted: All the team members, shoot quickly!

In the previous training, each company member was already familiar with each command.

Rapid fire means that you don't need to aim, you just shoot quickly.

At this moment, Li Shangquan gave an order, and all the team members raised the crossbow guns in their hands and began to shoot quickly into the cracks of the battlements, stretching out the barrels of the guns and shooting quickly towards the city.

You don't need to adjust the angle, you don't need to aim carefully, you just need to wind up and shoot again and again.

Nearly a thousand short arrows of crossbow guns shot towards the city at a rapid pace one after another, and no one dared to look at it, but the screams under the city told them that the officers and soldiers were injured, and as long as there were casualties, the company members had motivation in their hearts, and they were shooting fast with short arrows.

Nearly 100 officers and soldiers under the city fell under the short arrows, and many of them dodged again and again, although their own people not far behind them were trying to cover and shoot and suppress the city, but they still couldn't change the short arrows on the city to fly down.

The rhythm of the officers and soldiers was again disrupted.

After the officers and soldiers were in the rear, Zhang Xiahai's face became ugly again, after all, half of them were composed of the families of merchants in the city, and they would not dare to die and obey orders like the guards he brought out with his own hands.

In desperation, he gave the order again: the sword and shield hand went up with the shield.

So the formation of the officers and soldiers changed again, and one by one the sword and shield men no longer covered the archers behind them, and the two of them began to march towards the city with heavy shields on their heads.

At this moment, the ladder has been erected, and there is a shield on the head to block the arrows, and one by one the sword and shield hands stepped on the shield above the trench, crossed the trenches that had lost their effect, and climbed the ladder.

The officers and soldiers finally began the real siege battle.

In the distance, Tang Xidong looked at the officers and soldiers who were climbing up with shields on the opposite ladder, his face tightened, and he watched intently.

This is where the real test comes.

On the city wall of Luoliang Mountain, Li Shangquan saw that the opponent's sword and shield hand was pressing, and his face also tightened.

While directing the company members to change the city crossbow to attack the officers and archers who were not covered by sword and shield hands in the distance, he reminded everyone to pay attention to the city head, and once the enemy showed his head, he would give the other party a hard blow.

The defender of the city opened his bow with his bow, and the archers in the distance suffered casualties in an instant.

A thick crossbow bolt flew into the crowd of archers, and in an instant, a figure flew into the air and smashed into the air against the comrades behind him.

Often after the arrow falls to the ground, blood splashes, and the person is no longer saved, the scene is bloody, so that the onlookers retreat timidly, and after dozens of people are pierced by the crossbow arrow and die on the spot, the formation of the archers is instantly scattered.

Zhang Xiahai looked at the crossbow arrows shot from the city, there was fire in his eyes, but he was extremely helpless in his heart, without a sword and shield hand, casualties were inevitable, with a sword and shield hand but no one could attack the city wall, looking at the sword and shield hand queue facing the new city behind him, Zhang Xiahai gritted his teeth, or did not order the transfer, and now he can only count on the soldiers on the cloud ladder to attack.

Liu Jucai squatted on the ground nervously, still holding the crank of the blower in his hand, the nervous siege made him forget to move his hands and feet in place, the whole hands and feet were a little stiff, listening to the cheers of the company captain Li Shangquan, Liu Jucai knew that the officers and soldiers were going to attack, his heart was beating rapidly, it seemed that he was about to jump out of his throat, his breath was short, and his hands and feet became disobedient to the command.

His eyes were glued to the battlements in front of him, and he kept fantasizing that the next moment a face full of blood and hideous would emerge from there.

Liu Jucai felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, and the nervousness had sealed his entire body, making his mind sluggish.

Just when he was a little distracted, suddenly his eyes flashed, and a face really appeared on the battlements, that face was full of sweat, there seemed to be no blood and no hideous, that face seemed to be the same as himself, with the same tension and fear.

The two faces were facing each other, and they were a little stunned for a moment, and the officers and soldiers who attacked the city seemed to have imagined that there would be a young man squatting on the ground on the city wall, with a nervous and frightened face, and he didn't expect that the other party was holding a strange thing in his hand.

I was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, the officers and soldiers showed a trace of hideousness on their faces, and the long knife in their hands slashed at Liu Jucai, and Liu Jucai was also shocked in his heart, and subconsciously shook the crank in his hand desperately.

Then, a stream of white powder erupted from the mouth of the wooden pipe, facing the faces of the officers and soldiers.

After a scream, the figure that had just appeared fell from the city and disappeared in front of Liu Jucai's eyes.

Liu Jucai blinked, feeling like he was in a dream just now.

There was another pain in his head.

"Haha, you kid did a good job, cheer up and spray these dog officers and soldiers fiercely." Zhang Sanshi's happy voice came from his ears.

Liu Jucai raised his head stupidly, and a stupid smile was also on his face, but a trace of calmness slowly appeared in his eyes.

It turned out that the officers and soldiers were also afraid, and it turned out that the officers and soldiers were not strong and could not be killed.

There was a hint of firmness in my heart.
