The rebel army was covered by tens of thousands of displaced people under the four city walls, and the Taiping camp of a few hundred people was difficult for the officers and soldiers to find as long as they were concealed and moved.

If you really use this method, at most one hour, Lushan can be broken!

"After all, it's just a small city, and the organizational strength of our rebel army is not comparable to other rebel rebels." Chen Wu was not surprised that the Volunteer Battalion attacked the city, and while continuing to watch the battle, he said to Mo Guohao, who was not far from him, without looking back: "Lord Mo, what do you think of my Taiping Righteous Army?" ”

"They are all prisoners of the thief army, what are you talking about?"

Mo Guohao, the former light infantry wing commander of Longshan Mansion, smiled bitterly.

Probably from the time he was captured, he had put life and death aside, but his "thief army" was undisguised, and immediately made several nearby guards who were staring at him furious.

Originally, Chen Wu wanted to call this military attache to his side, but they always objected, worried that Mo Guohao would be unfavorable to Chen Wu. This is true even after repeated searches to confirm that he is not armed with any weapons. Now hearing that contemptuous word, several guards immediately looked at Chen Wu, and as soon as he nodded, he immediately cut down the unknown wing captain.

However, Chen Wu was not easily provoked.

He smiled unmoved, waved his hand to let a few guards retreat, and said to Mo Guohao, who was a little stubborn: "Left and right are just a title, it doesn't matter what it's called." So, Wing Captain of Longshan Mansion, from the perspective of your profession, how am I, a soldier of the Volunteer Battalion? ”

was called so, but he was still calm and unangry, and now the leader of the thief army is really a little capable.

Mo Guohao thought about it, and he didn't hide it, and said honestly according to his own thoughts: "Dirt chickens and dogs, vulnerable!" ”

"Arrogance!"

Chen Wu didn't say anything about the evaluation of these eight words, but Xu Shizhong stood up dissatisfied.

Although he had only joined the rebel army not long ago, Chen Wu treated him differently and entrusted him with important tasks as soon as he came up. In addition, Chen Wu's righteous army is indeed a bit extraordinary, and his feeling for the righteous army is still very good. And these soldiers of the Volunteer Battalion, who he Xu Shizhong helped train, put in a lot of effort, and Mo Guohao criticized him like this, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "It's a pity that the 'elite' officers and soldiers of Longshan Mansion were defeated by such a thief army." ”

"That's because I fell for your tricks."

Mo Guohao snorted coldly, unconvinced.

"I can't say wrong about this evaluation." Chen Wu interrupted the conversation between the two and explained slightly: "However, Mo Guohao must not know that this Taiping Righteous Army was founded by me and General Dian Yong because they could not bear the tyranny of the officials of Yicheng. As for the volunteer battalion, it was first built after the Changshan Town uprising, and there were only a few hundred people at that time, and it was temporarily expanded to more than 1,000 people after the capture of Yicheng, and even the formation was not good. Thanks to Brother Xu Shizhong, he helped train like this. ”

In just a short paragraph, it illustrates the roots of the Taiping Righteous Army, which undoubtedly surprised Mo Guohao.

He looked at Chen Wu again, then looked at Xu Shizhong, who was still a little unhappy, and said in surprise: "You mean, this volunteer battalion was officially formed after Yicheng was breached?" ”

"Exactly!"

Xu Shizhong nodded proudly.

After receiving confirmation from the other party, Mo Guohao was a little speechless. How long has it been since Yicheng was breached? Being able to train a group of mud-legged farmers to be decent is not ordinary, and it can even be described by the word "great talent". In other words, is the Taiping Righteous Army really self-made?

Are you sure it wasn't a conspiracy organized for years in advance?

Where did those two stone throwers come from?

Mo Guohao was shocked in his heart, not knowing whether he should believe it or not. But there was one thing he understood, Chen Wu's attitude was completely different from that of other captured officers and soldiers, and he should have made his own idea to surrender.

A mere army of thieves also wants to recruit the highest military attache of a prefecture?

Should I say that I am too confident, or I am too arrogant!

………

In the midst of the chatter and laughter of the leaders of the rebel army below, the volunteer battalion has completely stabilized its position and repeatedly fought with the officers and soldiers at the head of the city. Although he was once driven down from the city by the officers and troops led by Lu Baihu, as Chen Wu changed the three major teams of the rebel army and continued the uninterrupted wheel war, the officers and soldiers who were not in good shape began to show fatigue.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Chen Wu hesitated for a moment and decided to abandon his plan to attack the west.

If it is used now, and then attack other cities, the officers and soldiers may be able to take precautions. As for the moment, he has decided to use the Lushan battlefield as a place for military training.

Soon, a new order was issued.

Another battalion of volunteers assembled and climbed up to the top of the city along the ladder left by the previous rebels for reinforcements.

The reason why more people were not sent was because Lushan was a small city, and more than 1,000 officials, soldiers, and militias and the rebels were crowded together at the head of the city, and it was already a little impossible to show it. Sending more people up will not have enough room to play, but will add to the chaos. To deal with this kind of city, you can break through lightly by fighting with wheels and constantly consuming the body of the defenders.

The addition of a new force has boosted the momentum of the rebel army, and it has also greatly increased the pressure on the Lushan official army.

After the last remnants of the official army were consumed, the tide of battle began to tilt rapidly to the side of the rebels.

The city of chaos.

Seeing that the shape was not good, the Qian County Order of Lushan could no longer take care of it, and hurriedly ordered people to transfer all the defenders of the other three city walls to deal with the attack of the frontal thief army. At this time, as long as Chen Wu casually sent a large team on other city walls, he could directly break the city. But now, he just pretended to turn a blind eye and let the officials and soldiers act.

He was not in the slightest worried about the outcome of this battle.

The officers and troops defending the city in Lushan can really fight the city defense battalion of 100 people, even if it is bad, it is better than a completely inexperienced farmer. In the previous battles, they had already lost a lot. Transferred from the other three city walls, it was just a group of trembling group exercises that had been frightened by tens of thousands of homeless people outside. Even if they join, the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers will not be improved much. Inexperienced and more likely to be killed, the increasing number of deaths only further weakened the morale of officers and soldiers, spreading confusion and fear.

Another point worth mentioning is that due to the lack of military robes and brave clothes, many people who have not had time to change their clothes in a hurry for the hastily assembled city defense regiment training.

Most of these people from the city and nearby villages and towns were unknown, and it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe in the panic. The Volunteer Battalion is different, although Chen Wu has not yet had time to change his uniform, but everyone in the Righteous Army has a yellow scarf wrapped around his arm, and each team has also clearly told him before the siege that as long as there is no yellow scarf, it is an official army and can be killed at will. In another case, the militia in Lushan would definitely be able to notice, but in the chaotic battle, they were already frightened, and they only felt that there were thieves everywhere, where would they have the time to subdivide these?

The obvious identification of friend and foe further magnified the advantage of the rebels.

"It seems that the heat is almost over."

Seeing that the officers and troops in the city were in chaos, Chen Wu had a smile on his face, and ordered the fifth brigade of the volunteer battalion to be dispatched, and by the way, a group of wounded people were replaced. These volunteer battalions that have been wounded and have experience in fighting and attacking cities can become the main elite of the rebel army as long as they recover from their injuries and have a little training.

After the preparation of tea time, as the captain of the fifth brigade of the Volunteer Battalion, Shi Yuanliang was ordered to climb to the top of the city.

Since the officers and troops had lost their unified command, he led a team of henchmen and killed several soldiers of the city defense battalion without much effort, further cutting through the defense line of the officers and troops. As long as they can kill another group of useless militias in front of them, the people of the fifth brigade will be able to join up with the previous rebels and completely capture a section of the city wall. At that time, the officers and troops of Lushan will really have no ability to resist.

For now, it's no longer difficult to do that.

Without the leadership of the soldiers of the city defense battalion, the remaining militia groups in the nearby villages looked unmotivated. If it weren't for the chaos in the city, and there was no safe place, I am afraid that they would have fled long ago. The most important thing is that these regiments do not have armor like the soldiers of the city defense battalion.

As the captain of the Volunteer Battalion, Shi Yuanliang has armor. Moreover, his standard leather armor was personally issued by Chen Wu as a reward, and it was his private property, and even after the battle, he would not regain unified maintenance like other rebels. With such a reliable protective gear, Shi Yuanliang fought extremely bravely, and hacked to death an enemy in front of him with a few knives.
