ps: It seems to have been passed on by mistake...... Revised

The reason why these new pawns appeared on the front line of the city wall was that Gu Shan also considered it. There are a lot of righteous soldiers in Wu County, but the real old soldiers and soldiers are less than 10,000 people, and the remaining more than 10,000 new soldiers and the young men who have been recruited and can become soldiers have also undergone training, but after all, they have not experienced the real bloody battle and cannot become real soldiers.

Although the Jieyi Army now has an absolute upper hand in terms of the number of troops, Gu Shan does not dare to guarantee whether the other prefectures and counties around Wu County will send people to support, and whether the border army of the Qi army in Liyang Mansion in the north will send troops to help. Therefore, Gu Shan hoped that the more soldiers under his command the better, so as not to be unable to deal with it when the matter came.

At this moment, the Wuxian Jieyi Army has the upper hand both in terms of strength and other aspects. In that case, why not take advantage of this time to train your corporals? It also avoids a shortage of troops in hand when the situation is bad in the future. In addition, the next actions of the Jieyi Army also need more soldiers to complete.

The battle between the two sides soon began, and the city wall near the 'gate' was always the key point of the battle between the two sides. For the Qi army, taking the city 'gate' can quickly open the city 'gate'. The rushing car of the Qi army also appeared under the city 'gate', but how could the sealed city 'gate' be easily knocked open?

On the edge of the north 'gate' tower, the Qi army attacked the most 'fiercely', and the first to come up were the 'elite' of the Qi army's 'elite'. To call them soldiers is to say that they are madmen. These Qi soldiers, they can even ignore life and death, they staggered up the ladder, trying to occupy the edge of the city wall, so that more companions could climb up. Although the Jieyi soldiers were suppressed by the Qi army's offensive at the beginning, the archers of the Jieyi army took advantage of the situation to raid and make meritorious contributions one after another, and 'shot' a lot of the Qi soldiers in Shangcheng, which made these new soldiers not frightened for a while. Coupled with the encouragement of some veterans and the command of the officers, the Jieyi soldiers quickly reacted, mustered up their morale, and started a 'fierce' 'hand-to-hand' battle with the Qi soldiers on the edge of the city wall.

"Die!" Ji Tong, who commanded the archers, also brandished the horizontal knife in his hand at this moment, and killed four 'elite' soldiers of the Qi army in a row, and took back the area in front of him that had been occupied by the Qi soldiers for a short time.

"Afraid of what? The Qi sergeants, like us, also have two eyes and two hands. None of them are afraid, so what are you afraid of? Kill me, let the Qi army dogs and cubs see, my righteous army is not a rabble. Think about your family, think about their lives now, if we lose, it's all gone, there's nothing left. Several civil officials in the city also began to roar loudly, boosting the morale of these new soldiers. I have to say that sometimes, some words of encouragement are not small, and many of the new soldiers in the city, that is, some young and strong people, also began to pick up the weapons around them and fight back against the Qi army with the soldiers.

"The fourth!" One team led a fierce knife to slash a Qi army officer who had killed and injured several of his own soldiers, and then grabbed the opponent's sturdy corpse and smashed it down. I only heard a crisp sound of "creaking", and the ladder that was crawling full of Qi soldiers and soldiers and had been smashed many times was smashed in an instant. As a result, needless to say, the Qi soldiers on the ladder smashed down in a daze, knocking down a large number of their companions below, screaming and groaning continuously. However, this righteous army leader didn't have time to look at the situation below, and turned around and fought with a veteran of the Qi army, and the horizontal knife in his hand collided with the opponent's scimitar continuously, splashing a series of sparks.

Not far from Ji Tong, Lin Zhan, who was originally a captain of the Qi military academy and later returned to the Righteous Army, also wielded this short-handled battle axe and a 'fine' iron round shield at this moment and fought with several Qi soldiers and soldiers. Obviously, these Qi soldiers have recognized this former Shangguan and now defected, so they fought very fiercely. Moreover, these Qi soldiers seem to have gathered several good men in the 'door' and are ready to beat him in groups. Fortunately, the place at the top of the city wall was narrow, and the area where the two sides fought was not large, so that these old soldiers of the Qi army could not cooperate perfectly.

"Lin Zhan, you traitor, today is your death!" A strong man who looked like an officer roared fiercely while frantically waving the long knife in his hand.

"Haha...... If you want my life, do you deserve it? A group of lost dogs who have lost their nest are not qualified to talk to Captain Pontus. Lin Zhan sneered as he faced the battle. Because the city wall was full of 'melee' battles, the personal guards around Lin Zhan could not come to assist in time, and they were restrained by other Qi soldiers and soldiers more than ten meters away, which made Lin Zhan fight very hard. After all, it is not easy for one person to face a group of people. Especially since the other party is still a good player, this makes Lin Zhan very careful. Isn't there a saying, 'messy' punch to kill the master?

"Lin Zhan, you damn it!" Hearing Lin Zhan say this, such an officer was immediately furious. However, Lin Zhan found an opportunity and waved the round shield in his hand violently, smashing the opponent's legs and legs. Immediately, this brave officer rolled on the ground in pain, and a new pawn of the Qi army rushed up not far away, trying to take advantage of him, but in the end, he was stabbed in the middle abdomen by this Qi army officer, and then stabbed him fiercely, pulling him to the ground. In the end, it was a Jieyi Army archer in the rear who noticed the problem here, beat the water dogs, and 'shot' the officer with two arrows in a row, so that he gradually stopped moving.

Of the remaining four Qi soldiers, two were successively 'shot' and killed by the archers of the Jieyi Army in the rear. But the other two dodged the archers' shots. Subsequently, with the "chaos" and "chaos" of the warships, the archers in the rear could no longer directly aim at them, after all, in the "chaos" battle, after being blocked by someone in the view, they did not dare to 'shoot' casually, and if one was not good, they might 'shoot' at their own side.

The two Qi soldiers pestered Lin Zhan to the death, as if they wanted to kill Lin Zhan for the loss of Wu County and Lin Zhan's betrayal, and even in the 'engagement' battle, the two did not care about their own casualties. However, Lin Zhan naturally will not fight to the death with the other party, be careful everywhere, and stalemate with the other party. However, the kung fu of these two Qi army soldiers is very strong, and Lin Zhan is also unable to win it for a while, and he cannot win it for the time being. And Lin Zhan had been fighting for a long time before, and he was also a little tired at the moment.

"Come and help, this is the big defector Lin Zhan Dog Thief, let's kill him together!" In the midst of the fierce battle, a group of sergeants found that there were three more people waiting for the city wall not far behind them, and immediately said urgently.

As soon as they heard that this was Lin Zhan, who had lost Wu County and made himself homeless, the three Qi soldiers immediately pounced and prepared to besiege Lin Zhan.

Bitter also! When Lin Zhan saw that three more people were killed, his face suddenly turned bitter. The previous battle had exhausted him and he couldn't hold on, and if there were a few more, there would be a real problem.

"Dead ......" However, before Lin Zhan could worry about these problems, the three new soldiers were quickly killed by one person with a knife. When Lin Zhan saw it, it turned out to be Ji Tong on one side. After Ji Tong killed the three people, he immediately swung his knife and killed the two Qi soldiers together with Lin Zhan.

"Thank you, General Ji, for saving ......"

"What kind of rescue, here, they are all brothers, it's useless to talk more, go up together, kill them......" Ji Tong laughed, and waved the horizontal knife in his hand to kill the place where the cloud ladder was reached.

Lin Zhan's heart was hot, and he also brandished a battle axe to rush up, and together with Ji Tong, he killed a Qi soldier who had just landed in the city. Suddenly, Lin Zhan felt that it was not a bad thing to take refuge in the Jieyi Army, at least, it was more comfortable in the Jieyi Army than in the Qi Army. He was 'forced' by the Zhao Army Flying Eagle Guard to surrender to the Righteous Army, and the incident was also a helpless move, and he was pulled into the water by the people of the Flying Eagle Guard. Now, though, he doesn't feel resentful.

Ji Tong and Lin Zhan joined forces, and under a burst of swords and swords, they killed several Qi soldiers who had climbed the city before the cloud ladder, and beat them back to the city.

"Go down to you!" Ji Tong saw the opportunity, and kicked out the cloud ladder in front of him with a kick in the past, and Lin Zhan also cooperated with a shield to smash it. The two cooperated under the rule, and even knocked the ladder away from the city wall, although the two cooperated very well and the strength was also great, but for the ladder full of people, it had no fatal effect. But after seeing that the ladder was kicked off the city wall, it stood in the air with a shaky 'desire', wanting to continue to fall on the city wall, but also wanting to land in the open space outside.

"Inward! Hold it down......"

As soon as the Qi soldiers on the ladder saw that the ladder they had climbed directly began to erect, they immediately shouted hurriedly, and then Qi Qi exerted force inward, so the ladder swayed, wanting to lean back against the city wall.

"Want to come back? Let's get out of here honestly! Lin Zhan shouted violently, and the 'fine' iron round shield in his hand was smashed out by him, just hitting the top of the cloud ladder. Under the force of the round shield, the ladder slowly tilted outward, and the Qi soldiers on the ladder were shocked and hurriedly changed their movements, but it was too late.

"Not good...... Don't ...... "Poof! ”

All the Qi soldiers who were still on the ladder suddenly shouted, but the ladder would no longer act according to their wishes, and finally went down weakly. As a result, the ladder and the soldiers of Qi on the ladder all fell into their companions, swords collided with each other, and several people died in an instant, and the rest were either dizzy or smashed with stars. Before he could fully wake up here, another ladder was pushed out, and suddenly a long bloody path was smashed in the crowd. The soldiers who fell, or the soldiers who were hit on the ground, everyone was drenched in blood and screaming.

"Not bad!" Ji Tong laughed loudly, "Fortunately, this ladder was made by the Qi soldiers and soldiers in a hurry, and there is no barb, otherwise, if you want to do this, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”

Ji Tong and Lin Zhan's behavior was naturally discovered by others, and then, Gu Shan also saw the situation, and hurriedly ordered the pikemen to push the spear out against the cloud ladder with the spear in his hand. The archers 'shoot' the soldiers of the city, the sword and shield soldiers defend in the first line, and the pikemen push down the ladders, and for a while, these people cooperate extremely perfectly. In just half an hour, the ladder on the city wall was destroyed. Some ladders were pushed several times until the ladders were smashed and could no longer be used. These ladders are not made of steel, and if they are smashed again and again, is there no bad reason?

"Who is the one who is in charge of the attack? Did he not even care about the 'life' of the soldiers under his command? Seeing that after most of the hundreds of ladders were destroyed, the Qi army was constantly killed by the defenders under the city wall and still did not stop attacking, Ji Tong couldn't help but sneer.

Lin Zhan threw away the missing tomahawk in his hand, replaced it with a horizontal knife, and looked out of the city, there were really a lot of Qi soldiers outside the city, and the city walls were densely packed with their figures, like black 'colored' ants in an ant nest. Ladders were constantly being pushed down, smashing a long bloody path underneath, but more ladders were re-erected and leaned back against the city wall, and more Qi soldiers continued to climb up those remaining ladders. Because there are a lot fewer ladders, the Qi soldiers outside the city are also gathered everywhere.

Therefore, many of the righteous soldiers and those who were accustomed to the battlefield did not need to be near the edge of the city wall, but only needed to stand inside the city wall. Constantly throwing stones down can cause damage to Qi soldiers. At the base of the city wall, it was already a blurred piece of flesh and blood. The dead and wounded overlapped, and those who could move danced among them, continuing their frantic assault. There were many Qi soldiers and soldiers, and there were also many corpses, trampling on each other, and they had long turned it into a hell on earth. The ladder is constantly being pushed down, and it is constantly being erected, and it is being pushed down, and it is erected again, and so on.

"Alas...... The main general should be Shen Tu Lie, the guard who was driven out of the city by us, and at the same time, he is also Shen Tuxiong's brother. Thinking about it, because of the loss of Wu County, Shen Tulie was under a lot of pressure, and he wanted to take back Wu County to prove himself. It's a pity, it's a pity for these Qi soldiers. How can a general who can't even have a stable mind be in charge of a siege battle? Lin Zhan had already seen the banner of the main general on the opposite side, and said with a dull face.

"Shen Tu Lie?" Ji Tong was stunned, "The Wu County guard who was kicked out by us?" No wonder so! ”

Yes, at this moment, Shen Tulie's face in the rear was extremely 'gloomy', and he had already forgotten everything else, and only remembered to take it back to Wu County. As for casualties, they were no longer on his mind.

The low sound of the horn echoed between heaven and earth, and the earth-shattering drum sounded in the head and under the city. Arrows, crossbows, stones, and torches flew down the city, turning it into purgatory. The righteous soldiers and archers in the city were fighting with longbows, and the Qi soldiers under the city were also risking the arrows and stones that passed by at this moment, frantically rushing towards the city wall.

As time passed, it became more and more difficult for the Qi soldiers to enter the city. In addition to the gradual reduction of its ladders, more importantly, the new pawns of the righteous army in the city began to grow slowly, and those old pawn reserves also appeared from time to time to help. Even some young and strong people bravely threw stones at the city at this moment, so that the casualties of the Qi soldiers were getting bigger and bigger, while the casualties of the defenders were getting smaller and smaller.

Gu Shan quietly looked at the entire battlefield, his face had the original tranquility, and it slowly became soothing, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Obviously, as time went on, the more courageous it became, and gradually gained the upper hand. What's more, most of these defenders are new soldiers and young and strong people, real veterans, and they haven't fought much. It can be said that after this battle, the Jieyi Army will increase by nearly 10,000 'elite' soldiers, and the comparison of the strength between itself and the Qi army will gradually begin to shrink. Of course, all this is in the land of Yangzhou. No matter how strong the Jieyi army is, it can't be compared with the entire Qi army.

Indeed, in the middle of the battlefield, at this moment, the Jieyi Army has gained the upper hand. Outside the entire northern city, countless arrows, stones, and torches flew in all directions from top to bottom, from bottom to top, up and down, left and right, in a scattered form. Every time you meet a lottery winner, you will turn up a small blood-red 'wave' and 'flower', leading to a terrible cry. The vast majority of casualties were borne by Qi soldiers, but there were also some Jieyi soldiers who unfortunately died in battle, and from time to time they also drew the same trajectory, planted the city wall, and then were submerged.

Under the city wall, outside the city gate, the Qi soldiers of the brigade still hit the city gate with a rushing car, although there were arrows falling on the city tower, but they were still stubbornly facing the city gate, especially the crack of the city, colliding, receiving, colliding, and retracting the ground to carry out forward and backward translation movements, making an unpleasant and piercing metal collision loud sound. It is a pity that the inside of the city 'gate' has been blocked by a mountain of sacks, although there are constant collisions of sasswood outside, but the city 'gate' is basically not moving. Even if they smashed the gates, they would still not be able to enter the city. However, the Qi soldiers outside did not know, so they continued to work hard, and continued to dream of knocking the city 'gate' open.

The sun gradually rose, and the whole battlefield began to look a little hot, even the cool breeze that kept blowing could not reduce the restless hearts of the soldiers on both sides. The ladders of the Qi army were constantly pushed up, and then erected, and then pushed again, and then stubbornly erected again, and the ladders were repeated and back and forth, until they were smashed by the rolling stones of the city or broken in place. Despite this, under the military order of Shen Tulie to continue the offensive, the Qi soldiers still rushed to this dangerous tool one after another and fought to the death with the Jieyi army. Even Gu Shan had to admire these soldiers.

Shen Tuxiong, who was in the middle of the Chinese army, looked at the siege battle ahead with a gloomy face, and did not issue any other military orders for the casualties of thousands of soldiers. By noon, almost all of the 4,000 Left Route troops were lost under the city walls. Only then did he say coldly to the herald: "Give Shen Tulie an order to withdraw his troops!" It's a festival righteous army, it's really powerful! However, if you occupy the general's territory, you don't want to occupy it. ”
