At the north gate of Xiuwu City, the arrow rain is like a shuttle, mixed with firelight, shuttling towards the city, like a meteor shower. Seemingly inspired by the siege of the Li Jiajun, the archers of the city defense battalion soaked their arrows in wine and shot at the flying dragon chariot to return fire.

Of course, there is also the Li Jiajun who is pushing the giant wood under the city, constantly hitting the city gate, and he is not spared.

For a time, the casualties of the Li Jiajun rose sharply, and there were miserable howls everywhere in the city, and there were also painful cries from the flying dragon chariot.

Eventually, under the fierce attack of the city defense battalion, the arrows seemed to be inexhaustible, and the Wyvern chariot retreated. Not only that, but the Wyvern Chariot is being dismantled at a rapid pace, and the fire on it is being extinguished!

At the same time, Tian Jianxiu and Li Zicheng were still standing on top of a flying dragon chariot, quietly watching this scene, the flying dragon chariot quickly retreated, and the Li family army was like a low tide sea, retreating to a place a hundred meters away from the city gate, before stopping, dodging the arrows of the officers and soldiers on the city wall.

"Boss, the Wyvern Chariot is now retreating, will it affect the actions of the brothers in the city?"

Tian Jianxiu's gaze went back and forth between Li Zicheng and Xiu Wucheng, waiting for the latter's answer, faintly anxious and anxious.

"Don't worry. Their action was very successful, Gao Yigong and Dang Shousu should have entered the city and were rushing to the north gate. ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Tian Jianxiu to say anything, Li Zicheng put down the binoculars, handed it to the latter, and added: "Look at it, it should be them coming." ”

Tian Jianxiu froze slightly, then reacted, his face was happy, and he hurriedly took the binoculars, put them in front of him, and looked at the city, full of antimidity and excitement, and his movements were extremely neat.

I saw that a large number of people came to the north gate of Xiuwu City, almost all of them were holding torches, and according to rough estimates, there were two or three thousand people.

There were so many soldiers gathered in Xiuwu City at once, who else could it be if it wasn't the Li family's army? Unless, the other city gates have no city defense battalions, and all the officers and soldiers abandon them to support the north gate.

However, is such a thing possible?

Especially getting closer and closer, with the help of everyone's firelight, Tian Jianxiu saw more and more clearly, and strengthened his judgment, and at the same time, an indescribable surging excitement appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Boss, it's really them, it's Dang Shousu and the others!"

As soon as Tian Jianxiu's words fell, the sound of fighting came from the north gate of Xiuwu City again, getting louder and louder, more and more tragic, but Li Zicheng suddenly turned around and left, and was about to go down the inclined ladder of the flying dragon chariot, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Xu, let's go down." There is no suspense in this battle, and they should soon take the city gate, open the gate, and welcome us in. ”

In an instant, Xu Xiake understood and knew why Li Zicheng said this? As he followed, he replied, "Yes, Boss." The subordinates will now go and transfer some men and horses, get ready, and immediately take over the money and food of the yamen after entering the city. ”

After Li Zicheng and Xu Xiake got off the flying dragon chariot, Tian Jianxiu was still holding a telescope, looking at the battle on the city wall, watching with relish, his face was full of red light, and he couldn't help but say to himself excitedly: "Well done!" That's right, that's how it should be, let these turtle grandchildren taste the taste of being covered in a rain of arrows! Made, just a few moments later, many brothers were injured in the Wyvern Chariot. ”

Thundered...

With a long muffled sound, the north gate of Xiuwu City was opened, and without any order, the Li Jiajun, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately rushed in, like a flood that broke the embankment, unstoppable, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall all surrendered, threw down their weapons, squatted aside, and the rest of the people were all killed.

Not long after, within the county office, above the hall, Li Zicheng stood there, dressed in velvet clothes and armor, listening to the report of the generals.

"Boss, the fire in the northwest area of Xiuwu City has been extinguished, and the brothers are relocating the people who haven't had time to escape yet."

"Boss, my subordinates are fortunate to be alive, the fire in the southwest area of the city has been extinguished, and the brothers are helping the people clean up the ruins."

"Boss Qiyu, the same is true for the southeast region!"

......

Hearing these reports, not only Li Zicheng was relieved, but even Xu Xiake breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the fire was under control, and the losses of the people would be much less.

After the generals finished speaking one by one, Xu Xiake took a step forward, opened an account book, and said slowly: "Boss Qiyu, the silver and grain of the government have been counted clearly, and 100,000 taels of silver and 1,000 stones of grain have been seized. ”

Hearing this, all the generals in the hall were in high spirits and excited, and they were all gearing up, eager to go and see it immediately.

Gao Yigong was even more excited, his face was flushed, and he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Hehe... Boss, with so much money and food, the brothers don't have to worry about food for at least a month! What's more, there are also those rich merchants and magnates in the city, and their families also have a lot of grain and silver. ”

Although Li Zicheng's face was calm, not sad or happy, his heart was very shaken! 1,000 stone of grain, that's nearly 200,000 catties, Li Zicheng never thought that a small Xiuwu City would be so rich?

Immediately, as soon as he thought of this, Li Zicheng ignored Gao Yigong's words, secretly suppressed his ups and downs, turned to look at Tian Jianxiu, and explained: "After all the people in the city are persuaded to return, immediately close the four city gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." At the same time, Captain Tian, you can arrange to divide the Li Jiajun into three teams, and the three teams will stand guard in turn and take turns to maintain law and order in the city. ”

"Yes, Boss! Liu Fangliang, Wu Ruyi and others have already done the matter of persuading the people back. It is believed that in the name of Li Jiajun outside, the departed people will return soon. As for the security of the city, the last general will do it, and let the brothers take turns to rest. ”

Tian Jianxiu clenched his hands into fists, and after finishing speaking, he was about to turn around and walk away, but was stopped by Li Zicheng: "Captain Tian, wait a minute, after a while, I have other things for you to do." ”

Tarumi stopped his steps, retracted his feet, and stood aside.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng looked at Xu Xiake and said loudly: "Mr. Xu, you immediately select some people, make dozens of cauldrons, and after dawn, cook porridge for those people who have suffered from the fire and distribute it to them." ”

"Okay, boss." Xu Xiake bowed, agreed, then stood up straight, and added: "Boss, according to the custom, the subordinates will set aside a part of the seized grain and distribute it to the people of the city. ”

Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, and didn't say anything more, but turned to say: "Okay, except for Tian Jianxiu, everyone should go down and have a good rest, after dawn, there are still many things to do." ”

"Yes, Boss."

Everyone agreed, and then left one after another, without any hesitation.

After everyone left, Tian Jianxiu paced, standing in the center of the hall, standing opposite Li Zicheng, with a puzzled look in his eyes, very puzzled, everything had been arranged, what else did the boss have to do, he had to let himself stay, or the two of them talked alone.

Although he thought so in his heart, Tian Jianxiu didn't say anything, but looked at Li Zicheng honestly, waiting for the other party's orders.

"Jianxiu, in the past two days, you have to prepare, screen out some people from those brothers who came out of the base, let them disguise themselves, dress up as ordinary people, and stay in this Xiuwu City and live."

Tian Jianxiu was stunned for a moment, even more puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Boss, the intelligence system we established has already been lurking in Xiuwu City, do you still need to do this?" ”

Li Zicheng shook his head, and then explained: "Jianxiu, these people are different from those lurking people, their task is to live in Xiuwu City and guard weapons. No one is allowed to enable them without my command. ”

"Guarding weapons? Boss, what weapons are guarded? Tian Jianxiu immediately grasped the point and asked instead.
