Li Zhicheng, the county commander of Shanyin County, heard that Zhang Xianzhong led an army of 200,000 to kill, and he was so frightened that he ran home, packed up the gold and silver, and ran away with his wife and concubine.

Wei Wenshan is one of the first batch of people who graduated early from the Royal Academy and hurriedly participated in the scientific examination. The Son of Heaven has decreed that those who abandon the city and run away will be beheaded, and those who surrender the city will be beheaded all over the house, and the left and right will die, he can only fight, in case the bet wins, the future is bright.

As the leader of a county, Li Zhicheng wanted to abandon the city and escape, he did not hesitate to cut people down, took his place, ordered the city gate to be closed, pacified the people, and desperately recruited young people to strengthen the city fortifications.

As the third-in-command, the county lieutenant Qu Bo originally had the idea of running away, but seeing that Wei Wenshan was so ruthless, he could only stay and lead the whole city to catch the fast yacha and the young and strong to defend the city.

Shanyin County is a small county seat, there is no garrison, usually more than 30 fast officials are responsible for maintaining order, wartime only to convene young and strong to form a county soldier to guard the county, Zhang's army has already spread all over Shanxi, coupled with Wei Wenshan's intention to publicize, demonize Zhang's army, the name of Zhang Demon King frightened many people, but also aroused their determination to defend the county.

The city gate has been closed, it is forbidden to enter and exit, you can't run if you want to, surrender is death, and your wife and daughter are humiliated.

Wei Wenshan is just a scholar, all he learned in the Royal Academy is about the knowledge of people's livelihood, but he was forced into a desperate situation, but also stimulated his potential, all the weapons in the county inventory were distributed to the nearly 2,300 county soldiers who had just been assembled, plus some of the nearby landlords and gentry Haoqiang took their families to hide in the city, they raised a lot of family members, and Wei Wenshan used both soft and hard methods, got these family members, joined the county soldiers, and made up the number of 3,000 so-so, and at the same time used both soft and hard, forcing the trenches to donate a sum of military expenses.

There is no artillery, just a dozen inferior muskets that will explode at some point, and the rest are all cold weapons such as swords, clubs, iron forks, bows and arrows, etc., worried that the city defense weapons such as rocks and driftwood are not enough, and the people even dismantle their own door panels, beams and wood, and carry them to the head of the city as a weapon to defend the city, in order to be able to hold the county seat, Wei Wenshan wildly opened empty checks, and when the war is over, the demolished or damaged houses will be rebuilt free of charge, and those who kill a thief will be rewarded with two taels of silver, as long as they hold for two days, reinforcements will definitely arrive, and all kinds of flickering, The people became more and more determined to defend the city.

Sun Kewang was anxious to take the county seat, and after arriving at the county seat of Shanyin, he did not order to rest, so that the soldiers hurriedly built dozens of long ladders and began to attack, he only had more than 3,000 troops under his command, and could not trap the county on all sides, but only besieged and attacked the north and west city gates.

The art of war, encircling three queyi, means to let go of one gate, so that the defenders feel that there is hope of escape, and will not desperately defend the city, he will now let go of the southeast two gates to let the soldiers and civilians defending the city escape, but he doesn't know that the four city gates were sealed by the acting county order Wei Wenshan with stone sandbags, if you want to die, everyone will die together, and if you don't want to die, you will fight hard.

Zhang Xianzhong only has more than 3,000 cavalry, but they are all veterans who have experienced many battles, and they can be regarded as one of the ace elites in his hands.

The elite veterans who are quite well-armed and equipped to storm the city with the vigor of consecutive victories can be a huge pressure on the county soldiers defending the city. All the county soldiers are poor people, usually farming, only occasionally training in their spare time, weapons and equipment scum, combat power and Zhang Xianzhong's elite cavalry is not at the same level at all, the only advantage to rely on is the city wall of the county, relying on the large number of people, with the determination to protect the family from humiliation, the militia who climbed up was cut down with knives, stabbed down with guns, smashed stones and rolling wood, and repelled the two fierce sieges of the people's army.

Sun Kewang didn't expect that the county soldiers in the county town would be so tenacious and desperate, defending the city and not retreating, two rounds of attack, more than 300 casualties among his subordinates, making him so angry that he screamed, and ordered his henchman Zhang Dewang to personally lead the army to launch the third round of attack.

Although Wei Wenshan is a scholar, he roars at the head of the city with a long sword in his hand, cheering up the county soldiers, desperately stimulating their fighting spirit, and it is precisely because of his example that the county soldiers who have more casualties than the people's army still fight tenaciously, defending the city's head position and not retreating, and the militia who climbed up were torn into a ball until they fell.

On a long ladder, several militiamen who were climbing up were scalded by the hot oil sprinkled on the city, and fell down with screams, but fortunately the city was full of a thick layer of corpses, and they did not fall to their deaths, but the unlucky ones only broke their hands and feet, but they also lost their combat effectiveness.

A county soldier stood on the battlement, holding a big stone and smashing it down, the militia on the long ladder was smashed to the head and bleeding, screaming and falling off the long ladder, before the county soldiers had time to cheer, a stray arrow shot, hit the chest, and fell down the city with a miserable scream.

The soldiers on both sides fought bloodily, and all of them were killed, but the lack of training, even if the county soldiers with scumbags and weapons and equipment occupied the advantage of the city wall and had a numerical advantage, they suffered more casualties than the civilian army, and if it were not for the belief in protecting their wives and children from being humiliated, I am afraid that they would have collapsed long ago.

Zhang Dewang stuck a machete in his back, held a shield in one hand, and climbed an escalator in the other, and his leading soldiers greatly inspired the other militiamen, one by one roaring and rushing to the city, braving the stones and rolling logs thrown down from the city, erecting a long ladder, and climbing up bravely.

Zhang Dewang hit a beam that he smashed down with an iron shield, and continued to climb upward, another big stone roared and smashed, he gritted his teeth and raised his shield, and with a bang, the big stone bounced off and fell under the city, and his entire left arm was also numb from the shock, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to climb up.

Climbing to the top, he used an iron shield to block the falling steel knife, pushed away the spear that stabbed him, and a stray arrow shot at him, hitting his left shoulder socket, so painful that he roared angrily, held the wall battlement and jumped up to the city, pulled out the machete inserted in the back and slashed wildly, cutting down two county soldiers, and the rest were shocked by his fierce momentum, and no one dared to step forward to meet them.

"Brothers, for the sake of not being humiliated by your wife and children, kill them."

Wei Wenshan, who was standing on the side of the city, roared loudly, desperately trying to boost morale, he was also shocked by Zhang Dewang's fierce momentum, but there was no way out, he could only fight hard.

Zhang Jiajun's military discipline is too corrupt, Zhang Da Demon King's name is too scary, so that those county soldiers are afraid and afraid, but also force them to a desperate situation, the wife and children at home are their curse, swear to protect, immediately someone roared, rushed up with a gun, Zhang Dewang swung his knife and slashed, cut off the spear, rushed up with a knife, cut off one of the county soldiers' legs, and then flew a kick, kicking people over, the county soldier spurted blood and fell to the ground, lying motionless in a pool of blood.

"Second brother, I'll fight with you."

A county soldier let out a sad roar, rushed up with a gun, and the county soldier who was cut down was his second brother, who just said a family affair last month, preparing to get married at the end of the year, but at this moment he died tragically under Zhang Dewang's knife, which made him sad and angry, and he was afraid that he had left it behind, and rushed up bravely.

Courage is good, but the battlefield is so cruel, Zhang Dewang is not only battle-hardened, as powerful as an ox, but also has good martial arts, cutting off the spear with a knife, splitting people in half with the situation, and blood spraying on his body and face, making him look more and more hideous and terrifying.

The remaining county soldiers were so frightened that they threw away their spears and turned to run, but one of them ran too fast, tripped over the corpse under his feet, and fell into the city with a scream.

"Hahaha...... Uh......"

Zhang Dewang couldn't help laughing wildly, and a sharp pain suddenly came from his lower abdomen, which made his wild laughter stop abruptly, and when he looked down, he found that his lower abdomen was revealing half of the spear head, which was ...... What's going on?
