Gong Chengkang came to Qingjiang with the army in the afternoon, the purpose of his participation in the righteous army was to kill the officers and soldiers, and when he thought of the relatives and villagers who died tragically, the hatred in his heart couldn't stop bursting out.

The culprit of killing his relatives is outside the city, and if he can't cut off a few officers and soldiers and behead a few officers and soldiers when he comes today, then he will come to join the righteous army in vain.

Gong Chengkang came to the city with his ten soldiers to assemble, and his superior flag officer and Baihu were already waiting there early.

After the assembly of the thousand people, Luo Donghe, the general manager of Qian, stood on a table and shouted: "Brothers, now it is our turn to go up and defend the city, the commander has an order, whoever dares to retreat will be beheaded, and I, President Qian, is no exception."

I'll talk about Luo Donghe's ugly words first, if anyone makes our thousand-man team lose face, I can't spare him first, and after going to the city, no one is allowed to be a bad seed, and whoever dares to be a bad seed is not a man.

Without further ado, come with me to town! ”

Five hundred households led their men up the northern city wall along the Luodong River.

Luodonghe's thousand-strong squad had a complex structure, with only 300 veterans from Yuanzhou, and the remaining 700 were either recruits or officers and soldiers who surrendered in the field battle outside Xiajiang City.

These days, Mo Qian has vigorously engaged in ideological activities in the army, so that this group of peasants who have just transformed from the official army into the righteous army recognize the purpose of the righteous army.

Coupled with the rigorous training they had been training for more than a month, and with the armor they had worn before, they now looked like a decent army.

As for the combat power, this thousand-strong team didn't even know what to do in Mo Qian's heart, but he really had no troops available, so he could only send the three brigades of troops to top it first.

After going to the city wall, Gong Chengkang and his squadron were assigned by Baihu to defend the most dangerous section of the collapsed position.

This section is the area where the rebels focus on defense, and it is also a place where the official army storms.

Defending this section was an old hundred households from Yuanzhou, and he led his 200 men to defend with all their might.

Within a quarter of an hour of coming up to the wall, the officers and soldiers began to attack the city.

The ten artillery pieces outside the city stopped fighting after two rounds, and the reason why they didn't fight was because Liu Liangzuo was afraid that he would really kill the king of Fengcheng hanging on the head of the city with one shot, and even if he killed the thieves, he was afraid that he would not be promoted.

Moreover, today's artillery is used too frequently, and the barrel of the gun is seriously heated, so the officers and soldiers are afraid that the barrel will explode if they continue to fight, so they can only stop the shelling.

Without the cover of artillery, the siege battle directly turned into hand-to-hand combat, and Liu Liangzuo sent another 2,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city.

These two thousand people were not sent by Liu Liangzuo in the afternoon, and they were one of the few elite soldiers in his infantry.

They had been recuperating outside the city for a long time, waiting to climb the city wall to deal a fatal blow to the thieves.

Carrying ladders and under the cover of archers, they frantically rushed towards the city wall, and a quarter of the two thousand men charged directly towards the collapsed ones.

One hundred steps, fifty steps, twenty steps.

It's finally a hand-to-hand fight!

Gong Chengkang stabbed to death one of the officers and soldiers who first boarded through the gap, and then kicked him down.

The dead officers and soldiers rolled all the way down from the gap with four or five comrades behind them.

But as soon as they rolled down, officers and soldiers filled in the positions.

At this time, there was no need for the chief to talk nonsense, and the soldiers of the righteous army frantically threw the oil, stones and other things prepared on the city wall to the city frantically, and threw the torches after pouring the fire oil, and the smoke under the city wall was billowing and there was a sea of fire.

The most fierce siege battle was still at the collapse of the city wall, Luo Donghe sent the most elite 100 people here, and the 200 people were almost all veterans and elite soldiers.

Gong Chengkang was promoted by Mo Qian to two levels because of his meritorious service in killing Fengcheng Zhixian, plus he was strong and tall, and he was soon valued by Luo Donghe, and he was personally transferred to the 100th team as the chief.

Gong Chengkang stood at the collapse of the city wall, not to mention how happy he was, he frantically stabbed the red tassel gun in his hand downward, every time he stabbed it three times, at least one officer and soldier died.

At this time, when the battle has reached the point where there is no discipline, the big guys are wielding weapons with weapons, and whether they can stab people to death depends on luck.

Gong Chengkang himself didn't know how many officers and soldiers he had killed, and the body of the red tassel gun had begun to slip because of too much blood.

He stabbed the gun down and stabbed another officer and soldier to death, but the head of the gun was stuck in the bones of the officers and soldiers, and Gong Chengkang did not pull the gun back for a while.

This time it's terrible, the officers and soldiers below have already discovered that this kid is powerful.

When the commander of the officers and soldiers found that this kid had killed at least 20 people, which was a great obstacle to the siege troops, the commander of the officers and soldiers immediately shouted: "Quick, stab him to death!" ”

More than a dozen spears stabbed at Gong Chengkang in an instant, and when Gong Chengkang saw it, he was immediately so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating.

Fortunately, a Yuanzhou veteran beside him was quick to cut off the spear in his hand with a knife and pulled him back, so that he escaped.

"You kid don't want to die, how can there be a war like you, it's crazy!"

Gong Chengkang has as much battlefield experience as a veteran of Yuanzhou, he relies on brute force to fight, plus he is tall and big, his arms are long, and the attack distance of wielding a spear is much longer than that of ordinary people.

Gong Chengkang didn't have time to thank the veteran, he threw away the barrel of the gun that had been broken in half, pulled out the saber from his waist, and rushed forward again.

The soldiers of the rebel army fought repeatedly with the officers and soldiers at the collapsed part of the city wall, and the officers and soldiers left more than 200 corpses, but they still could not attack the city wall.

Liu Liangzuo, who was watching the battle from a distance, was itching at the root of his anger at the moment.

"His grandmother's, how can these anti-thieves be so able to fight, pass the order, and add another thousand soldiers!"

Liu Liangzuo also sent the last thousand soldiers and horses who had not been dispatched, and he was bound to take Qingjiang in one fell swoop before dark.

Qian Dayou, who was guarding the city on the city tower, also discovered this, and he immediately sent someone to report this information to Mo Qian, who was in command under the city.

When Mo Qian heard this, he knew that the critical moment of the battle had arrived, and he said to the herald: "Tell Qian Dayou, desperately defend me, and give me an order, and the first brigade will send six hundred veterans up to help defend the city!" ”

"Yes!"

The 3,000 men and horses of the 1st Brigade lost as many as 1,000 men in the afternoon after a fierce battle, and half of the remaining 2,000 men and horses were wounded.

Now that the siege war has reached the most critical period, Mo Qian does not dare to send the surrender troops and recruits of the third brigade up, so he can only send the veterans of the first brigade upwards.

When the six hundred veterans heard the order of the commander, they took their weapons and went up to the north city wall without thinking.

The northern city is lively, but the eastern city is extremely deserted, Yi Jiu led five hundred people to idle on the eastern city wall, he listened to the sound of fighting in the northern city, his heart was itchy, and he couldn't wait to take his weapons and fight in the past.

But Mo Qian gave him an order to guard the east gate to prevent Liu Liangzuo from sending people to attack.

Liu Liangzuo wanted to attack the city on all sides at the same time, but he didn't have the ability, and the troops were insufficient, so it was good to be able to storm the city wall with all his might.

And he also had to take care of the King of Fengcheng tied to the head of the city, and ordered to bypass the section of the King of Fengcheng when attacking the city, after all, if he accidentally killed the King of Fengcheng, he couldn't afford this responsibility.

Zhu Changwei was tied to the head of the city, looking at the city wall more than a foot high under him, he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart.

Since he was a child, he was afraid of high places, and he didn't even dare to be afraid of a ladder, let alone a city wall that was so high.

The crotch of his pants was wet and dry, dry and wet, and I don't know how many times, Zhu Changwei was tied to the city and hung for half an hour, and saw that the corpse mountain and sea of blood no longer vomited, because his stomach had already vomited.

Zhu Changwei's whole face was blackened by the smoke and fire under the city tower, and he muttered in a delirious voice: "Water, water, give water to this king!" ”

The rebel soldiers who were resting next to him heard him shouting for water, and couldn't help laughing at him: "I have become a prisoner, and I still think that I am the prince, it would be good to be alive, and I still want water." ”

When Zhu Changwei heard this, he couldn't help but look down, he looked up at the officials and soldiers outside the city, and thought that they would quickly break through the city to rescue him.

But he saw all the vicious battles just now, the officers and soldiers outside the city died wave after wave, and Qingjiang County was like an iron bucket, but it couldn't be attacked.

Zhu Changwei was a little desperate, he tried hard to break free from the rope, but the rope showed no signs of loosening.

The officers and troops soon organized another attack, this time the interval was very short, not even a stick of incense.

The officers and soldiers who had been assigned more men once again desperately climbed the city wall, and the fiercest battle was still located in the gap where the wall collapsed.

This time, there were four or five hundred more officers and men than just now, and the 100-man squad in charge of the gap soon became insufficient.

Gong Chengkang, a reckless man, was also a little exhausted after killing more than a dozen officers and soldiers, he held a long knife in both hands and cut off the head of an officer and soldier, and opened his mouth to say: "Damn, why aren't these rabbit cubs afraid of death!" ”

The veterans also found that the current wave of besieging people was different from the one coming from the front, and the officers and soldiers besieging the city in front of them, once hundreds of people died, they would not be able to resist wanting to retreat, but at present, this wave of people had suffered at least a hundred or dozens of casualties, but there was no sign of collapse.

Qian Dayou also noticed that something was wrong, he transferred Mo Qian to his five hundred veterans and immediately divided two hundred people to guard the gap and reinforce Gong Chengkang's team of 100 people.

With the addition of the veterans, the gap was temporarily held again, and the officers and soldiers lost another 200 corpses and retreated.

At this time, the corpses in the entire gap were piled up, and the city was full of corpses, the corpses of the rebels and the officers were stacked together, and the blood and water flowed from the corpse mountain into the filled moat, and the blood was red and bloody.

The battle lasted until the evening, Liu Liangzuo still failed to take Qingjiang County, at the end of the unitary hour, the sky had just fallen into the night, and suddenly a fire broke out six miles behind the official army, and the fire went straight to the sky.

The rebel soldiers who were defending the city saw half of the sky illuminated by the firelight.

The officers and soldiers who were besieging the city also suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and everyone looked back and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Oh no, the camp is on fire!"
