There are many factors that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield, morale is one of the main conditions, the subordinates of the flying monkey were frightened by the terrifying lethality of the thunder and the continuous dense rain of bullets, coupled with their own literacy and other reasons, morale fell to the freezing point, one by one threw away the weapons in their hands, rushed to escape, and infected the whole army like a plague, the entire rear battalion collapsed like this, big and small leaders, soldiers, and people were like ant colonies that blew up their nests, scattered and fled.

Tan Biao led the army into the camp, set fire everywhere, set fire to the camp tents, grain and grass, and then quickly retreated.

Ainengqi was supervising the battle on the front line, received an urgent report from the flying monkey, was startled, and hurriedly led the army back to help, but it was too late, the defenders of the rear camp had collapsed, the soldiers scattered and fled, and then the camp caught fire.

"I'm ...... angry" Ainengqi roared, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and fell from the horse, he must have committed Huo De Xingjun in the past few days, and burned his camp tent and important military supplies such as grain and grass twice in a row in two days.

All the leaders panicked, and hurriedly summoned the army to help, and no one paid attention to the siege of the city, and the pressure on the south gate suddenly disappeared.

"Reinforcements are coming."

"Okay, it burns well, haha."

The soldiers and civilians who fought hard at the head of the city also saw the rear camp of the Zhangjia army on fire, all cheered loudly, and their morale was greatly boosted, and Ainengqi's elite subordinates heard that the reinforcements of the Ming army had arrived, and the rear camp of the square was on fire, and the billowing smoke covered the sky and the sun, and they panicked.

The company commander in charge of commanding the south city gate estimated that Ainengqi's troops would not attack the city in the short term, and when he heard that the west city gate was tight, he immediately divided a small part of his troops to rush to reinforcements, and at the same time spread the news of the arrival of reinforcements to boost the morale of the other side.

The battle at the West City Gate was extremely tragic, and the elite troops invested by Li Dingguo fought fiercely, which caused great pressure on the soldiers and civilians defending the city.

Zhang Xianzhong personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, and saw the siege of Li Dingguo's department, he was greatly satisfied, depending on the situation, at most another wave of attack can break the city, the damned Shanyin County made him lose a lot, after the city is broken, he will slaughter the city for ten days, and kill everyone in the city.

was happy, Sun Kewang's subordinates fled back in embarrassment, reporting the ambush by the main force of the Ming army, the battle process, of course, it had to be exaggerated, otherwise if he escaped back like this, he would not die under the guns of the Ming army, and he would have been cut off by Zhang Xianzhong.

"What about Sun Kewang?" Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback, his face was gloomy and frightening, according to the normal foot estimate, the independent battalion of the Royal Guards commanded by Gao Jie will arrive at noon tomorrow at the earliest, where are the reinforcements? He wanted to ask Sun Kewang for clarification.

"Leader Sun has ......"

"Suspend the siege and put the whole army on alert."

Zhang Xianzhong was entangled for a while, and issued an order to suspend the siege of the city, ordering the army to assemble and guard against the killing of officers and soldiers.

Li Dingguo was also shocked when he learned the news, even if Zhang Xianzhong did not order the withdrawal of the army, he would postpone the siege, although it was a pity, but in this case, it was best to defeat the reinforcements of the Ming army first, and then consider the siege.

The frenzied siege of the Zhang family retreated like a tide, so that the soldiers and civilians defending the city were all relieved, everyone was exhausted, but their faces were full of happy smiles, reinforcements had arrived, and finally there was no need to be afraid.

Li Liancheng grinned, cheering up the soldiers and civilians defending the city while reminding them to step up their rest, although the reinforcements arrived, they could only confront the Zhangjia army on the periphery, and only after the victory could the county seat be truly lifted, so the Zhangjia army would still attack the city, and they could still only rely on their own strength to defend the city.

It's not that he poured cold water, he knows in his heart that there are a lot of so-called reinforcements like his battalion, at most only one battalion of troops arrived, and the heavy weapons are still behind, a thousand people against the 200,000 troops of the Zhangjia army, the pressure is huge, and a lot of them can only be harassed by cold attacks, disrupting Zhang Xianzhong's siege deployment, reducing the pressure on the county, they have to hold out at least until tomorrow morning, of course, if Zhang Xianzhong does not attack the city overnight, they will be relaxed this night.

"Don't worry, I know that Gao Shuai has not given up on us, and everyone is confident that they will hold on until Gao Shuai's main army arrives."

The county soldiers and the people grinned happily, patted their chests and assured that Gao Dashuai would not give up on us and was doing his best to help, and the people of the whole city were grateful to Gao Dashuai, and they were all reassured, and they promised to defend the city until the arrival of Gao Dashuai's main reinforcements.

Li Liancheng, Wei Wenshan, Qu Bo and others were all relieved, and while letting the soldiers and civilians defending the city step up their rest, they organized the people to repair and strengthen the damaged city wall fortifications, continued to demolish houses, carry stones, wooden planks, beams and wood, stack sandbags, build simple fortifications one after another, and build the entire small county town into a military fortress.

Zhang Xianzhong ordered the siege to be suspended, the whole army was assembled on alert, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to search for reinforcements of the Ming army in Shanyin County, however, the scouts sent out had not yet come back to report, and the bad news that the rear camp of Ainengqi's southern camp was ended, and important military supplies such as grain and grass were burned first came, which made him so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.

He doesn't care how many people he loses, it's all cannon fodder numbers, but the grain and grass really hurt him, he gritted his teeth and greeted the eight generations of Ai Nengqi's ancestors, and after two days in a row, the camp was served by others, and the grain and grass were burned, why don't you deliberately want to be angry?

Sun Kewang's body was also carried over by Ainengqi's subordinates, Zhang Xianzhong and other big leaders took a look, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, although the death was not very miserable, but the chest and abdomen were full of blood holes, which was still strange and scary.

"Brother Sun, you died so miserably, don't worry, I will slaughter the city to avenge your blood hatred!"

Zhang Xianzhong cried a few times, gritted his teeth and swore an oath, and then ordered his subordinates to bury Sun Kewang Haosheng, as for Sun Kewang's remaining 2,000 elite subordinates, all of them were accepted, this is the last good thing that Sun Kewang helped him do after his death, in return, it is also appropriate to bury Sun Kewang in a good life, and then transfer the original leaders and big leaders of the elite cavalry that were incorporated into the elite cavalry, and replace them with his henchmen and cronies, and firmly control this elite cavalry in his hands.

After Tan Biao led his troops to burn Ainengqi's rear camp, he immediately retreated, but did not retreat into the woods, but rushed to the eastern camp of Zhang's army.

Ma Yuanli, one of Zhang Xianzhong's henchmen and generals, heard that the rear camp of the Nanda camp was attacked, the grain and grass were destroyed, and the losses were heavy, he did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly postponed the siege of the city and made every effort to defend the camp.

The night before was attacked by the Ming army, all the important military materials such as grain and grass were burned, and Zhang Xianzhong scolded him fiercely, and finally got a little food, and then was burned by the Ming army.

Tan Biao saw that Ma Yuanli stopped attacking the city, and the goal had been achieved, so he immediately led his troops to retreat into the woods.

At this meeting, Zhang Xianzhong was urgently holding a military meeting in the army, and important leaders such as Ai Nengqi and Ma Yuanli wanted to lead the army to stick to the camp and strictly prevent the Ming army from sneaking attack, so they could not come to the meeting.
