The people behind applauded in unison, the ancients saw a lot of this method of demolishing houses and fighting fires, and were very familiar with them, and when they saw that the house had collapsed, they immediately rushed up with buckets and began to pour water on the wood, and those who did not have buckets began to remove the relatively light flammable materials such as wooden planks on the ground. Soon, the house was demolished to an empty shelf, and the empty pillars were drenched with water.

At this moment, the adjacent house was already on fire, and soon it became a huge bonfire, and the people began to splash the other house of the brothers who were not allowed to demolish it, and the walls and columns were wet, and some people brought ladders and climbed up to splash water from the roof.

The two brothers, of course, knew that this was to save his house, and while thanking him gratefully, they were busy carrying water and splashing the house.

The other people who were fighting the fire saw that they were demolishing the house on one side to isolate the fire, and they immediately demolished the house on the other side, but because of the separation belt, the fire could not continue to spread, and finally gradually extinguished. The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there were still many fire points in the city, and Zuo Shaoyang was about to go to fight the fire when he heard someone behind him whispering: "Zuo Gongzi!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly looked back, but it was Sang Xiaomei, her hair was messy, her face had become a big cat, and her dress was dirty, only her eyes were bright and she looked at him: "Thank you, Zuo Gongzi." ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Thank you for what I did?" ”

"If you hadn't led everyone to tear down the house to stop the fire, my tea shop would have been finished......"

"Hehe, this is for you, and for all of us, no need to thank you!"

Miao Peilan pointed to the flames in the distance and said, "Brother Zuo, there seems to be a big fire on the city wall, can you help?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Okay! ”

Sang Xiaomei said: "I'll go too!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang pushed her: "Don't go!" Just take care of this side and don't come back from the ashes! So saying, he ran away with the people.

The group of them ran under the city wall out of breath, and it was already a sea of fire! Several water hook trucks are spraying water here to fight the fire, it turns out, the whole city of water hook trucks are concentrated in this area, no wonder there are fires in other parts of the city, and I didn't see the water hook trucks of Yamen rushing to it.

Many people are fighting fires here, mainly soldiers and yamen people, who are going around dismantling the isolation belt, and they know that they are well-trained and should be specialized in firefighting.

He looked up at the city tower, and saw that the city tower was densely packed with soldiers, and some people, constantly smashing down the wood and rocks, and from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and fell down screaming. Above the city wall, swishing arrows flew in from outside the city, cut the arc, and nailed to the roofs and ground under the city towers.

At this moment, suddenly, they saw a fire dragon flying from outside the city wall, crossed the city wall, drew an arc, and flew towards their heads. Zuo Shaoyang was startled, and when he looked at it, the fire dragon was a sharp arrow like a spear, and the arrow was tied to something, it was burning, dragging a long flame, and it was falling in the direction of the two of them!

"Be careful!" Miao Peilan screamed, grabbed him, and ran under the eaves of the street. The crowd also hurriedly scattered and hid.

The huge rocket fell from the sky, and it was thudging in a few steps away from where they were! Like a long torch suddenly growing on the ground, it burns brightly!

At this moment, Zuo Shaoyang saw a rocket in the distance, sliding in a fiery arc, leaping over, landing on the roof of a house dozens of steps ahead, penetrating through the roof, revealing only a small section of the fire dragon outside. Smoke soon rose from the house, and then flames rose and the roof was quickly burned through.

Zuo Shaoyang was stunned, he had never seen this kind of weapon, but the only ancient military knowledge told him that this was probably launched by the enemy outside the city with a winch bed or something like a winch bed of one of the large siege devices, this huge bow crossbow used a winch to pull away the giant crossbow and fire this kind of feathered arrow similar to a spear, and the arrow was tied with a flinch.

Fortunately, the firing range of this kind of bed crossbow is relatively limited, and it can only shoot to about 500 meters at most, deducting the safe distance of about 200 meters outside the city, and if it is shot into the city, it will only reach a range of more than 200 meters. Perhaps for this reason, only the area behind the city walls was set on fire.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Hurry up and help put out the fire!" ”

A group of people rushed to the fire, but when they got closer, they were stopped by a group of soldiers: "What are you doing? ”

"Help put out the fire!" Left Shaoyang Road.

"There are enough people fighting the fire, you can help us carry the wounded! When I went up to the city tower, I found that there were injured ones, and I carried them down and sent them to the square at the entrance of the yamen! Watch out for enemy arrows, though! Thank you! ”

"Okay!" Zuo Shaoyang took Miao Peilan and others to carefully dodge the sharp arrows falling from the sky. Come to the stone steps of the castle tower and run up the stone steps.

The soldiers on the tower of the city were struggling to meet the enemy, shouting and killing all day long, and many of the soldiers who were lying on the ground screaming and screaming were already motionless and dead. The ground was littered with blades.

Miao Peilan picked up a round shield from the ground and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang: "Brother Zuo, take the arrow!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang took it, and before he could say thank you, he heard a sound of it, and an arrow happened to be inserted in the shield he held in front of him, and it hit his arm numbly, and he was secretly lucky in his heart. was about to give the shield to Miao Peilan, but seeing that she had already taken up another shield, she turned back to Li Dazhuang and the others: "Everyone be careful, hurry up and find a shield to defend yourself!" Then check the wounded on the ground, and if you find that you are still panting, you will carry them down the tower, and you must pay attention to safety! ”

Everyone took their shields from the ground and began to look for the wounded.

Zuo Shaoyang had never seen a war in ancient times, and now he finally had the opportunity to experience it for himself, where would he let it go, holding a shield and trotting to the battlements in front of the city wall, and carefully probing to look down.

At this glance, his heart was beating wildly, and he saw that the open space under the city wall was densely packed with enemy soldiers, shouting in a queue to shoot arrows at the city, some soldiers raised their shields as cover, and the rest of the soldiers carried ladders on the city wall and attacked the city. Under the city tower, there are already many corpses lying horizontally.

At the beginning, Zuo Shaoyang was very frightened, hid and watched for a while, and suddenly found that the rebels under the city did not seem to attack with death, most of them were waving flags and shouting and shooting arrows upwards, however, the rebels did not use large siege equipment such as siege towers to attack the city, only more than a dozen winch bed crossbows, which were set up below to shoot rockets into the city. Why are tens of thousands of enemy troops besieged below, and there are only a few thousand officers and soldiers in the city, if they attack strongly, they can definitely break the city. But why didn't the enemy storm the city?

A thought popped into his mind, - Could it be that the rebels are just feints?

What is the purpose of the rebels' feints?

Zuo Shaoyang couldn't figure it out, he was not good at military affairs, so he naturally didn't understand what tricks the enemy was playing, and it was important to save people.

Miao Peilan has been following behind Zuo Shaoyang, helping him to cover with a shield. Zuo Shaoyang naturally didn't want her to let a big girl carry these wounded soldiers, so he handed her the shield and asked her to hold two shields to cover and check the injured soldiers one by one.

Many of the soldiers were wounded by arrows, some were wounds from swords, and the wounds were bleeding profusely. Bleeding from arrow wounds is relatively small, so save the wounded with sword wounds first.

However, Zuo Shaoyang originally came to fight the fire this time, but he didn't expect to bring Jinchuang medicine and hemostatic bandages, and it was difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, so she could only tear off the placket of the wounded soldier and bandage the wound, but there was no hemostatic medicine on these cloth belts, the small wound was okay, and the big wound couldn't stop the bleeding at all, especially the wound that hurt the blood vessels, the blood bubbled out like spring water, and in a moment, the wounded couldn't do it. I could only watch the wounded die.

Now the only way to do this is to send the wounded down as soon as possible and let the military doctors deal with them. Zuo Shaoyang quickly checked, and chose the wounded who were more seriously injured and bleeding more, and who were likely to be saved, to bandage them first, and then carry them down the city tower.

Below, Li Dazhuang and more than a dozen other migrant workers had already found a lot of door panels and other things, and the two of them carried a wounded soldier to the yamen of the state capital. Zuo Shaoyang and Miao Peilan kept transporting soldiers from the city tower, this task was much more dangerous, although Miao Peilan was very flexible and reacted quickly, but the sharp arrows under the city were shot from different angles in a fan shape, she could take care of this side and not that side, she was really a little in a hurry.

At this time, a woman in white came out of the steps of the city tower, wearing a veil and holding two rectangular infantry shields in her hands, and ran to Zuo Shaoyang with her waist to block the arrows for him.

Zuo Shaoyang looked back, but it was Bai Zhihan.

It is rare that she is a six-grade Beijing official's daughter, and she actually risked death to block arrows for herself, although Zuo Shaoyang was very uncomfortable when she saw that her delicate face was still cold as frost, he still said: "Thank you!" ”

Bai Zhihan glanced at her and didn't speak.

The two women's four shields basically blocked the sharp arrows shot up from several angles under the city, and Zuo Shaoyang calmly rescued the injured soldiers. After a while, the shield in the second girl's hand was already full of sharp arrows.

Although Zuo Shaoyang judged that the enemy army was likely to feint, there were still enemy troops attacking the city tower and engaging in white-knuckle battles with the defenders.

Just as Zuo Shaoyang was bandaging the wounds of a wounded soldier and walking towards the stairs of the city tower on his back, several enemy soldiers rushed up the city tower along the ladder and jumped down and pounced on them! The soldiers defending the city here had been killed by sharp arrows flying from below, and they could not fill the vacancy for a while, and were picked up by the enemy.

Seeing that the enemy soldiers were holding shields and holding steel knives screaming and rushing over, Zuo Shaoyang was blocked by the shield and couldn't see, but Bai Zhihan saw it, his face turned white with fright, he grabbed the shield with both hands and screamed, subconsciously took a step back, was mixed with the corpse on the ground, the two shields got out of his hands, his hands were grabbing and dancing in the air, one foot kicked upside down, he fell to the sky with all four feet, and even the gauze on his face flew.

It turns out that the posture of the beautiful woman falling down is as ugly as that of ordinary people.
