Listening to Ma Yan's words, the eyes of everyone in the city suddenly flashed with a little hope.

Seeing that there was an improvement, Ma Yan hurriedly continued: "Folks! Taishou-sama is a great person! Tax exemption for military households, so that the villagers can have a good idea! I think you should feel this more deeply than I do! My Ma family is not short of grain from those 50 acres of land! ”

There was some anger in everyone's eyes, and Ma Yan continued: "But I, Ma Yan, am willing to follow Lord Taishou!" What about you? If you let the Black Mountain thieves enter the city, not only will it be a good day at the beginning, but your land, your property, and even the life and death of your wife and children will be in the hands of a gang of thieves! When the time comes, you will have nothing, or you will be killed by thieves, or you will die like the countless outcasts who have died in this city! At best, it's just a matter of dying a day early or a day later! ”

Several young and strong auxiliaries shouted angrily: "What the young master of the Ma family said is true! Horizontal and vertical is death! It's better to fight with these thieves! ”

"Fight! Fight with the fuck! A large crowd immediately chimed in!

Ma Yan was overjoyed and said, "Okay! Since everyone dares to kill thieves! My Ma family slaughtered pigs and sheep tonight to reward all the villagers! ”

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! ”

The crowd cheered in unison, and the morale was high!

The black mountain thieves had already surged up in a blink of an eye, the arrows in the city were exhausted, and the boiling water was not burning, so they could only watch the thieves lean on the root of the city! The only way for the soldiers and civilians of Guangnian to be a thief in the region at this time was to tear down the big logs and beams of each house and use them as rolling logs to smash down the city wall! The thigh-thick log smashed into the crowd of thieves, and suddenly there was a terrible howl that made the hair stand on end!

The Montenegrin thieves were also desperately attacking at this time, regardless of casualties! Thousands of horse troops are cruising outside Guangnian City, as long as anyone dares to take a step back, they will be beheaded immediately!

At this time, many of the Black Mountain thieves who were besieging the city, many of them were croppers who were digging and eating in the fields a few days ago, and now they have a bag of black scarves on their heads, and they have become Black Mountain bandits, they wear a variety of clothes, and the weapons in their hands are also quite simple, with guns and spears. But more than that, it's kitchen knives, hoes, rakes, iron pots! The only thing that is the same is a tattered clothes, all of them are skinny, but everyone's eyes are full of scorching light, since retreat is also death, as long as they rush to the city wall, there is hope, the homeless thieves are all in the spirit of twelve, and rush forward like crazy! The defensive pressure on the city has increased dramatically!

There was only a limited amount of rolling wood on the city's head, and the siege thieves were as many as locusts! And they were obviously attacking desperately, even if the rolling logs and stones above their heads rained down, a large area under the root of a city wall was quickly filled with dense crowds! Ladder by ladder on the city wall!

The soldiers and civilians defending the city struggled to push away the ladder, but there were too many Black Mountain thieves standing under the city, a cloud ladder was pushed away, and several more cloud ladders were erected on the city, after such repeated seesawing, finally, the dense Black Mountain thieves began to climb the city wall!

A fierce white-knuckle battle unfolds in the blink of an eye! Wenyuan's military household system played a role again at this time, and thousands of soldiers and civilians worked hard again! Only by withstanding the attack of the thieves can they keep their property from being robbed by the thieves! In order to keep a glimmer of hope for life just brought by the tax-free system!

There is only one belief in the hearts of thousands of military households, they cannot be defeated! If you lose, you're nothing!

Yu Poison looked at the tenacious defense of the soldiers and civilians on the Guangnian city wall, and for some reason he felt an indescribable irritability in his heart, he saw with his own eyes that many people who were not soldiers jumped off the city wall with the enemy in order to block the siege of the army! He saw with his own eyes that many people were seriously injured and fell to the ground, and they were desperately biting like crazy!

Guangnian is only three or four thousand soldiers and civilians, but he actually blocked the repeated attacks of more than 20,000 of his people! And caused more than 2,000 casualties on our side! If it weren't for Xiao Shuai personally stepping forward to supervise the formation and strictly ordering the retreat to the latter's death, the siege army would have already collapsed and retreated at this time!

How much courage does it take, and what is it that gives these people such a strong faith?

Gradually, a chill began to rise in Yu Poison's heart, and reason told him that he should give up the siege to avoid greater casualties, but when he thought that if he retreated at this time, the countless goods, money and food in the city would be obtained by the three black mountains of Lei Gong, Li Damu, and Baique Gate behind him.

MD, what is a dead point person? As long as you break through Guangnian, you can gather thousands of young people! Yu Poison gritted his teeth and ordered someone to urge Xiao Shuai to take the city wall as soon as possible!

Under the order of Xiao Shuai, thousands of horse troops dismounted together, followed by the black pressure of the thieves rushed to the city wall, Ma Yan, who was standing on the head of the city, saw a trace of despair in his heart, the giant deer has been repeatedly plundered by black mountain thieves over the years, how can he not know the power of these horse troops? Is he really going to die in this Guangnian city today? Could it be that the Ma family is going to be ruined today!?

Sure enough, with the addition of those Humming horse army, several places on the head of the city were suddenly lost, and more and more black mountain thieves poured onto the city wall.

Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, the thieves were like bloody hungry wolves, and their eyes flashed with wild madness! I saw that above the city on three sides, there were thieves wrapped in black turbans, and there were fewer and fewer defenders and civilians wearing Han military uniforms.

At this moment, although the soldiers and civilians defending the city were completely desperate, no one was willing to retreat easily, because behind them, it was their small family, and retreating meant that there was nothing!

But at this time, the black mountain thieves were like a raging tide, killing wave after wave, and they couldn't kill at all, and the city was full of corpses that were lying all over the city, and the sticky blood flowed all over the ground at the head of the city, and it was slimy to step on it. "Kill! Kill! Every time Ma Yan swung a knife, he would make a nervous roar, he was already almost crazy, beside him, a team of auxiliaries only killed more than ten people, and on the opposite side, there were forty or fifty black mountain thieves with fierce eyes and swords waving at each other!

Ma Yan's iron armor is very conspicuous, at this time he was besieged by three horse soldiers again, although he has been familiar with martial arts since he was a child, but he can fight hard for a day, and the three horse soldiers on the opposite side have been waiting for work! Left and right, although try to resist! Gradually, the elephant has been defeated!

Defeated!? Is it just lost? I'm not reconciled! Ma Yan shouted in despair in his heart!

At this moment, a low sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the west of the city! Ma Yan looked to the south of the city, only to see a dirt slope in the distance behind the dust! It looks like thousands of troops are rushing this way! I saw a soldier wearing bright light armor, holding a halberd, turning out of the hillside first, under the afterglow of the sunset, the body seemed to be integrated into the red and bloody remnant sun, as if reflecting countless dazzling lights, as if the gods descended to earth, and then a large banner turned out from behind the dirt slope, and countless ironclad sergeants rushed over with shouts!

Ma Yan couldn't control his tears of excitement anymore, and looked up to the sky and cried: "Reinforcements have arrived!" Taishou-sama has come to save us! ”

Countless people in the city also cried and shouted, "Lord Taishou is here!" We are saved! ”

The morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city was suddenly boosted, and they were still exhausted just now, as if they were reborn! Little by little, the thieves who entered the city were squeezed off the city wall!

The morale of the defenders was like a rainbow, and the Black Mountain thieves were panicked, they could have taken the city in just a moment, and they were demoralized when they heard that the official reinforcements arrived, if it weren't for the officers around them, many people would have fled for their lives!

What to do? This problem is now urgently placed in front of the poison. Is it to fight, or is it to flee?

Fighting, if it is bleak today, how many officers and troops are there who come to help? Two thousand? Three thousand? Or five thousand?

Just look at the dust in the sky, to say the least, it is more than two thousand! If in peacetime, he is not afraid of thousands of officers and soldiers, and with more than 20,000 combatable soldiers under his command, what does it matter if there is a frontal battle? But now, he only has 500 old battalions, 300 horse troops, and more than 1,000 foot soldiers left! The rest of the people all stormed the walls! More than 20,000 women, children, old and weak, are harvesting grain and grass, but letting them resist the officials and soldiers will only make the situation worse!

Escape, he is really reluctant to give up the fat that is almost in his mouth, and if he loses this opportunity, all the previous efforts can be regarded as wasted!

But he saw that the subordinates at the head of the city were retreating one after another, and the supporting army seemed to see their own great strength, and the soldiers pointed directly in their direction!
