At the time of crisis, but saw that several men were killed in the city, the first two were seven feet tall, holding a bronze lance and a hammer that shook the sky, really like two gods, and the hammer in their hands waved, that is, the Mongolian soldiers ate it, and they had to break their tendons and fractures. The rest of the people were also vigorous, each with a sword to fight in the battle formation, and in a short time they killed five or six Mongolian soldiers and dozens of White Lotus disciples. Yan Hong could see clearly that this was the Zeng brothers and others of the Loyalty and Righteousness League.

Immediately after, the white shadow on the city wall flickered, and a person flew down from top to bottom like a big bird, and the momentum was about to fall in front of the horse of the Mongolian thousand-commander Bala. Nabala was also brave, and the long knife in his hand swept sideways, and he was about to cut off this man's waist. But the man was in the air, and with a flick of his left hand, he just pressed Bala's wrist and blocked the castration of the long knife. Before his feet landed, a sword light had already slashed away. Barak wore an iron helmet and heavy armor, but the man's sword slashed through the gap in the armor. Nabala was also battle-hardened, and when he saw that it was not good, he hurriedly leaned back, and the whole person rolled off the saddle on his back. Rao was like this, and he was spared the disaster of the three-pronged break, and the blood on his neck had already spurted out, and he screamed loudly in pain. The man in white was about to fire another sword, and the Mongol soldiers on the left and right had already poked their spears in unison. The man sneered and shouted, "This Tartar general has been killed by me!" "And he took hold of a rope that hung down from the city, and flew up again. Several Mongol soldiers shot arrows, and he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

This person is the leader of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance, and Shao Jing "sees a thousand swords". At this moment, the soldiers were in danger, and he couldn't care about being calm, intending to sneak attack from the city and kill the Mongol generals in one fell swoop. Who knew that the Mongol army was very vigilant in the war. Although Shao Jing's martial arts are world-famous. After all, it was still a little worse. Failed to take Bara's life.

However, this blow alone forced Bara's guards to and from the left and right to send him out of the walls. And Shao Jing's shout, how can the Mongolian soldiers and White Lotus Sect who are fighting determine whether it is true or false? As soon as he heard that the Mongolian commander had been beheaded, his morale was naturally greatly depressed. The morale of the Ming army was high, everyone fought bravely, and only killed the enemy army and fought and retreated. That Ye Zhengfei led the musket team and used the ammunition saved a few days ago. Without hesitation, they hit the enemy one after another. Under this onslaught, some of the enemy troops rushed into the wall, and the rest withdrew. The Ming army took the opportunity to firmly occupy the gap in the city wall.

But how can the enemy be willing to rest? After a while, the commander of the Thousand Commanders came again, driving away the White Lotus Cultists and the Green Forest rebels, and attacked the gap again and again. The Ming army had to plug the gap and fight a bloody battle. One team was exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, and then another team stepped forward. At the same time, Yun Chuqi dispatched some people to strengthen the gap, while stepping up to plug the gap. On one side, two barriers were built behind the gap. I did my best before and after, and I didn't let up at all. A gap in the wall several zhang wide. Suddenly became Shura Purgatory, and the corpses of the two families were piled up.

Later, the four major families of Guo, Lihong, and Liu in the city also led their headquarters to come to reinforcements. Although the long-term employees of these large families have not undergone any formal training, they have always eaten well and are strong, but they are also a force at this time. It was later expanded from the victims according to Yan Hong's instructions, and at least the standard knives and guns provided by Yan Hong were also obtained in his hands. In addition, the four major families originally had a group of martial artists with good kung fu as the core, and the participation of this group of people was also an important support for the defending side.

In this way, all sides are fighting together. Sometimes the White Lotus Sect rushed to the gap for a while, and the reserve team had to be mobilized again, regardless of life or death, and fought for many lives to drive the enemy out of the city again. After repeated tug-of-war until dusk, the enemy finally withdrew his troops again.

The fierce battle in Jinan for half a month is the most tragic today. The corpses of the two soldiers and horses at the gap were almost piled up to the level of the gap, and blood gushed out, and in some places it was ankle-deep. The corpses of the Mongols alone counted more than fifty within the walls, which was quite amazing for the Ming army.

The Ming army itself was, of course, even worse. Liang Rufei, Sun Yuerong and others were injured, but it was okay. Yun Chuqi brought 15,000 people here, and after fighting for most of the day, more than 6,000 people were killed and wounded. He Bingzhong's Beijing battalion team still had more than 160 people in the first half of the month, and more than 70 people were killed or wounded in today's battle. And Wei Guoliang, who led the Fubiao battalion, fell into the encirclement of the Green Forest rebels in the melee, with three knife wounds in his body, and he was strongly supported. When the enemy retreated, he threw away the knife in his hand, stumbled, and fell to the ground, passing away. The elder brother of the two leopards of the Ban family in Feihu Village was also killed by the Mongols in the melee. More than 2,000 family members sent by the four major families also suffered six or seven hundred casualties in the melee.

The Ziqing Shuangxia guarded Yan Hong, and he also fought fiercely for a long time, although he was not injured, he was tired enough. On Xia Zisu's purple shirt, countless blood stains were splashed, and he barely supported it with a long sword in his hand. His chest rose and fell violently, his hands and feet trembled slightly, and he lost his strength.

Zhang Qingyan's body seemed to be a few points weaker than that of his senior sister, and when the enemy retreated, he fell weakly. Thanks to Yan Hong for holding her in time, she didn't let the beauty fall to the ground. The beauty is in her arms, but the jasmine-like body fragrance that I had the privilege of getting close to in the Cixi Valley in the past is now only a pungent smell of blood. Zhang Qingyan was supported by Yan Hong, and he didn't struggle, only his jade face was blushing, and he gasped softly: "Qin Cha smiled." ”

Yan Hong didn't have any intention of taking advantage of it at this time. He understood that if the second daughter hadn't given up her life to protect her, she was afraid that she would have been hacked to death. He said urgently: "Children of the rivers and lakes, there is no need to have so much red tape." Your sister saved her life before the battle today, great kindness, Yan is unforgettable. You should hurry down and rest, and I will command them to make some fine tonic to replenish your body, so that you will not lose your vitality. As he spoke, he helped Zhang Qingyan to sit on a stone before he let go of his hand.

Zhang Qingyan waited for Yan Hong to let go, but he struggled to stand up, and his body shook again. It wasn't until Yan Hong stretched out his hand to support her for the second time that he said with difficulty: "Today's battle has heavy casualties, so I still have to discuss the military situation first, and I can hold on." ”

Yan Hong was greatly moved in his heart, and said angrily: "What is Zhang Nuxia talking about?" Today's bloody battle has made your delicate women tired like this, which has made me embarrassed. Military affairs can no longer make you work hard. Someone's coming. Hurry up and help the two heroines down to rest. "Turn your head. only to find that Sun Yuerong had already left with Sun Lie.

As usual, troops were left to patrol the city. Especially after the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp were arranged in the gap, all the civil and military forces in the city gathered in the meeting hall of Xingyuan, and everyone's faces were quite ugly.

Zhang Qingyan went down to rest for a while, ate something, and still insisted on coming to the council hall and said: "Although a bloody battle has temporarily blocked the gap today, but the sandbag masonry is used to temporarily block it, if you talk about the degree of solidity, it naturally can't be compared with the intact city wall. If the enemy mobilizes the artillery bombardment tomorrow. I'm afraid that this section will be destroyed again. Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize heavy troops to defend the gap, and prepare various earth and stone materials. ”

Qin Delu said: "In today's battle, the damage is too great, and if you defend it tomorrow, it is up to you whether you can hold it or not." I don't know what kind of reputation the army is doing here, it is said that it should have arrived a few days earlier, and there is no news at all! ”

Ye Zhengfei also said: "Anything else is okay, the Mongols rushed in today in order to beat them." The gunpowder in our city has almost bottomed out. I don't think I can survive tomorrow. ”

There's a lot of talk going on. But he saw that Zhang Jingzhai came to Licheng County and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Yun Chuqi has urged the people to be strong and barely fill the gap in the city wall. The double earth ramparts inside the gap have also been basically completed. Mr. Yun is still continuing to strengthen and supervise the removal of soil and rocks for tomorrow's battle. ”

Hai Rui nodded and said, "Very good, I have worked hard for Mr. Zhang Lao County Ling and Mr. Yun." that the strong of the people shall not toil all night. There is still a big war tomorrow, so it's important to recuperate. ”

Zhang Jingzhai hesitated, and then said, "It's just ...... This people fled greatly. ”

Yan Hong was stunned, Nani? The faces of the officials also changed. He Bingzhong asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zhang Jingzhai said: "Hey, I think it's a bloody battle in the daytime, there are too many casualties, and the people in the strong team are all recruited by disaster victims, and some people are cowardly." In this way, they spread ten to hundred, and they infected each other. Mr. Yun said that the people in the fifteenth battalion are strong, and the dead and wounded today are not counted, and the rest have fled six or seven out of ten. ”

Yan Hong thought to himself, this is no wonder. I heard Gu Fatzi say that if a team suffers many casualties during a war, it is easy to collapse and flee. What's more, although these people are used as soldiers, the slogan when recruiting is strong. It has only been a large-scale escape until today, and Yun Chuqi's eldest brother's art of war is already very proud. However, now in this Jinan city, the main force defending the city is Minzhuang, and Minzhuang has fled so much, how can this battle be fought?

The acting commander of the right guard of Jinan, Qin Delu, shouted early: "Escape? Surrounded by white lotus thieves on all sides, where can they flee? It's nothing more than hiding in the streets and alleys. According to me, tonight I will light up the soldiers and horses, and search alley by alley. At this life-and-death juncture, how can they be allowed to escape? ”

Ye Zhengfei also sighed: "These men are really, if they are beaten into the city by the Mongols, everyone is also a dead word, isn't it too late for you to escape now?" It's better to pick up a knife and gun and follow the desperate effort. ”

Hai Rui said, "That's it." When the people were recruited in the first place, there was something wrong with it. This bloody battle to defend the city should not have been borne by them. Now if they want to run, let them do it. For I say, "When the fortifications are repaired tonight, let all the remaining men be dismissed, so that they may not be burdened." ”

Qin Delu muttered: "In this way, this Jinan can't be defended?" ”

He Bingzhong said: "Lord Qincha, it's not that his subordinates are afraid of death, but it's really hard to say whether Jinan City can hold on to it tomorrow." If the Chin Cha falls into the city, it will not only destroy the dignity of the court, but also be a disaster for us and other civil and military people. The last general thought that it would be better for Qin Cha to try to leave quickly. ”

Zhang Jingzhai, the magistrate of Licheng, also arched his hand and said: "What General He said is indeed reasonable. Now the border army has not come for days, and Jinan is difficult to defend. A few Qincha still prepared early, so as not to come to an end, and they were busy. ”

As soon as these words were opened, everyone suddenly said a word to me, and they were all discussing breaking through and running away. Qin Delu suggested that the soldiers who are capable of fighting in the city should be concentrated and open the south gate tonight to break through. It is expected that the siege of the thief army outside the city will focus on the west and north sides, and now there are no less than two or three thousand soldiers in the city who can fight. As long as the three Qincha are escorted out of the city, these civil and military officers who remain in the city, even if they die in battle, their families will have a care.

When they were arguing, Hai Rui seemed to be an outsider, as if he did not hear the words of these people, but looked at the account book in his hand, and counted how many ammunition, arrows, and soldiers were still in the city. After waiting for Qin Delu to say his idea, Hai Rui raised his head and glanced at Qin Delu in a daze. Just this glance made Qin Delu's chrysanthemum tight.

Then Hai Rui lowered his head again, then looked at the account books, and only said one sentence in his mouth: "Since this official is ordered to tour the east, he will be stationed in Jinan." Anywhere else, nowhere else. I want to see the knife of the White Lotus Sect bandits, can cut someone's head in the sea? (To be continued......)
