The Rebels and the Good Friends put their main forces on the north and south walls at the same time.

Unlike the cannon fodder of the Xiandeng Battalion armed with bamboo guns, this time, all the soldiers of the Volunteer Battalion and the Dharma Protector were armed with iron knives and wearing leather armor. Because of the great victory over the officers and soldiers, the morale of these elite soldiers was extremely high. The trotting rushed through the range of the trebuchet and reached the head of the city, which was strewn with corpses, and began the strongest attack since the siege.

Under each ladder, there are special rebels holding large wooden shields.

At this distance, the wooden shield alone can no longer block the arrows, but with the leather armor on the body, the double protection can block the bow and arrow almost perfectly. In addition, the wide wooden shield also had a certain resistance effect on things such as boiling water and gold juice, which greatly weakened the killing methods of the officers and soldiers.

"The castle guard has an order, and those who retreat will be killed!"

"Kill one thief, ten gold!"

Sensing the strong danger, the captains of the officers and soldiers shouted loudly while urging their men and militia to attack the thieves who climbed the ladder.

The soldiers who had previously ascended to the camp had already exhausted some of the rolling wood and stones that had been made overnight. Now, the officers and soldiers could only rely on the terrain advantage of the city wall to fight the rebels. As for those militia groups with low combat effectiveness, it is okay to deal with ordinary homeless people, and they can only fight in the face of the elite of the heavily armed rebel army. Help carry boiling water and pour it down the city.

From time to time, the screams of the infiltrators rang out, mixed with the corpses of the rebels falling from the ladder.

The resistance of the officers and soldiers failed to suppress the offensive of the rebels. The sturdy soldiers of the Volunteer Battalion soon forcibly rushed to the city wall and fought with the officers and soldiers.

In this attack alone, Chen Wu threw in three entire volunteer battalion brigades. The equipment and weapons of these people are exactly the same as those of the officers and soldiers in the city, the only difference is that everyone wears yellow scarves on their arms. When the two sides fight together, you can't really tell the difference if you don't look carefully.

Compared to the south wall side. The siege of the Good Friends became even more violent.

When their Dharma Protector soldiers fought with the officers and soldiers, they often recited the slogans of Maitreya Buddha and the Good Friends Association. As long as you see the words in your mouth and a fanatical look on your face, you can be sure that it is a thief of the Good Friends Association, and you can just greet him with a knife.

Because they have been brainwashed, the Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers fight even harder, often using a lose-lose style of play. In addition, the Good Friends Association invested 400 Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers in one go. Almost half of the elite force was dispatched, which immediately made the officers and troops at the head of the city feel a strong pressure.

Wing Captain Mo Lun must be glad that he chose to go out of the city to meet Wu'an's officers and troops two days ago. Even if only more than 100 officers and soldiers were brought back, and many of them were wounded, it still helped a lot at the moment.

Without them, in the face of the thieves' two-sided siege at any cost, it would be really difficult to defend the city defense battalion, which has already numbered less than 400 these days.

However, this time the siege. The Rebels and the Good Friends were determined.

Although the two commanders, Mo Lun and Wang Feng, personally led the team to save the scene, the officers and soldiers once burst out with amazing courage and briefly drove the rebels off the city, but the attack still did not stop. The "Green Forest Battalion" formed by Chen Wu, that is, the horse bandits who came from all over Longshan Prefecture, under the urging of the Taiping Battalion, made an impact on the city non-stop.

On coordination and military discipline. These people are much worse than the rebels, but their combat effectiveness is not weak. Especially individual martial arts.

Their appearance quickly defeated the rotating militia group, forcing the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion who had just sat down and had not rested for a long time to get up again to fight. The rebels took advantage of this time to rest and recuperate, and only after the "heroes" of the Green Forest Battalion suffered heavy casualties did they attack Longshan City for the second time.

The officers and troops, who were almost exhausted, faced this surging offensive. I had to fight desperately to block it.

The battle suddenly became fierce.

Protected by leather armor, the death toll of the Volunteer Battalion plummeted compared to that of Lushan. But even so, there are still more than 100 dead and wounded so far. Although it has not reached the point of breaking his muscles and bones, Chen Wu is no longer ready to invest more strength to fight hard, which will only cheapen the Good Friends Association who are also besieging the city.

Let alone. Fighting to this point, Chen Wu also calculated enough strength.

Although the Good Friends Association sent Xu Maodian over to "coordinate", to put it bluntly, it was to monitor the siege of the rebels, but after all, this person did not understand military affairs. Chen Wu has been attacking hard, and only at the end did he secretly release a little water, and Xu Maodian couldn't see it. But this subtle change can be felt by the officers and soldiers on the front.

The thief army on the opposite side doesn't seem to be as aggressive as it was just now!

Compared to the southern city wall, which can still be maintained for the time being, the defense line against the attack of the Good Friends is already shaky. It is conceivable which side the officers and troops should give priority to stabilizing.

A reinforcement of nearly 200 men landed at the top of the city at the most critical moment.

Among them, there are the officials of Longshan Mansion who catch quickly, the nobles and big families in the city, and even Viscount Liu Feng who personally put on armor and go into battle. They may not be as good as the officials and soldiers in Wu'an, but they are definitely stronger than ordinary militia groups, and their determination to protect the safety of their own industries and families is even stronger. The addition of such a new force almost immediately turned the tide and drove the Protector of the Good Friends back from the city walls.

"These people should be the last combat power of Longshan Mansion!"

Chen Wu, who got the news, and Wang Huifang, who was under the north city wall, coincidentally made the same judgment.

The reason why the internal response of the Good Friends Association has not been launched for a long time is that they have appeared.

Once this reserve force is also in the fight, the Good Friends will be able to do it again.

………

The all-out siege of the city on the first day finally came to a halt with the reluctant defense of the officers and troops.

Seeing the main formation under the city Mingjin withdrawing troops, and the thieves withdrawing from the city like a tide, all the officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Many of them were too tired to support their bodies, and sat on the edge of the city wall, dressed in thick clothes, oblivious to the corpses of their comrades and the disgusting smell of blood.

Despite the difficulty of defending the city, there was no joy on the faces of these people, only deep exhaustion.

Everyone knows that the attack of the thieves will continue, and today is just the beginning!

The night appeared imperceptibly, bringing a touch of coolness to the scorching weather. In the city guard, Zhang Qisheng, whose eye sockets were sunken, was racking his brains and discussing with his henchmen how to deal with tomorrow's siege. And in the dark. The people of the Good Friends Association lurking in the city also became active, plotting the big thing to start the next day.

Also on the same night, the news that the 2nd Garrison Brigade of Wu'an was ambushed in Xiayang Valley and almost completely wiped out reached the county town of Wu'an.

Qian Boming, the governor who was playing leaf cards with his favorite concubine, was called out of the rouge pile by an urgent report. Since he had instructed him not to come and disturb him when he was in the inner house, it was night again. Qian Boming's heart was a little dissatisfied. But after hearing the news of the emergency, his body shook violently, and the previous bit of annoyance had already been thrown out of the clouds, replaced by shock and disbelief.

"How is that possible? How is this possible! ”

His voice was almost out of tune because of his excessive surprise.

"Back to the Governor, the soldiers who rushed back to report the news are outside, do you want to kiss ......?"

Before the attendant's words were finished, he was pushed away by Qian Boming. In a hurry, Qian Boming, who has always paid attention to demeanor, didn't even bother to change his clothes. Step by step, he rushed outside, and finally ran up. I don't know if it's because of the light of the wind lantern, the attendant always feels that Qian Boming's face is white and scary.

He didn't dare to say more, so he trotted all the way to catch up with Qian Boming, and led the way to the living room in the front yard of the Governor's Palace.

Here, Qian Boming saw Hu Weide, who was a dusty and wolf.

Because he had seen Qian Boming a few times, he was gobbling up the refreshments on the table, and he quickly swallowed it and got up to salute. Because the swallowing was too hasty. Hu Weide almost choked on the dim sum, and coughed violently several times before he recovered his breath.

Qian Boming knew that this person must be hungry. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a gaffe. In normal times, he will most likely be gentle and comforting to buy the hearts of the army. But when he learned about the major events of the Second Garrison Brigade, he really didn't feel that mood, and simply asked, "What happened in Xiayang Valley?" ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, here's how it ......"

Hu Weide started from the thieves who destroyed the Anping Third Bridge and burned the ships along the coast; Including the period when the messenger of Longshan Mansion was in an emergency, the officers and soldiers left their baggage, marched lightly after a detour, and were ordered to stay guarded; And finally a few days later. The Wing Commander of the 1st Wing sent people back to the detention point and brought news from Xiayang Valley.

Knowing the changes in Xiayang Valley, Hu Weide, who was shocked, rode directly on a mule carrying grain, and rushed back with the two overnight, and forcibly recruited a horse from a chamber of commerce on the way. It's a pity. The bodies of the two officers and soldiers who were traveling together jumped to the limit. One of them died of a violent illness on the road, and the other also fainted after entering Wu'an due to heat stroke.

Only then did Hu Weide come to the Governor's Mansion alone to complain.

"The three wings of the 2nd Garrison Brigade, including six hundred cavalry, are all wiped out!"

This bad news, like a thunderbolt from the sky, beat Qian Boming on the spot.

That's a full 3,600 officers and soldiers!

In the whole of Wu'an, there are only two garrison brigades, plus a light cavalry wing.

Damn Ding Ziming, what does he eat? Such an obvious strategy to lure the enemy into light will actually be fooled! And that Lin Anluo, in vain he usually prides himself on being smart, and he is still a person with eight major valves, but didn't he fall for the tricks of the thieves?

Damn it! Damn it!

For a while, Qian Boming was almost mad at this bad news.

After serving in the county town of Wu'an for a few years, it was not easy to open up a little situation under the pressure of the Lin family, and gradually mastered part of the military strength. As a result, because of a gang of anti-thieves, several years of hard work were in vain.

And that's not all!

After recovering a little from the initial anger, he realized that the first thing he had to face was the pressure of the Lin family.

Is Lin Anluo dead?

Hu Weide didn't know, and neither did the officers and soldiers of the First Wing who were sealed outside the valley. Although he wished that guy would be burned to ashes, Qian Boming knew that if Lin Anluo really died, the Lin family would inevitably be half angry and half borrowed, which was very detrimental to his rule in Taiping County.

Also, without the Second Garrison Brigade, what will he Qian Boming do to continue to quell the rebellion? (To be continued......)
