The night covered the land, the howling north wind whispered in the ears like a girl's whimper, and the wail of the coyote in the mountains and forests in the distance added a bit of gloom to the night.

Peng, a clay pot hit the ground, the crisp body of the can suddenly split, the oil filled in it splashed in all directions, and a little flame fell on the oil, and suddenly ignited a sea of fire, the flames rolled, driving away the night.

After the uprooting of Daqing Town, the Green Forest Army and the Security Army totaled more than 7,000 soldiers and horses turned down, and surrounded Jishui Town, but Jishui Town is not comparable to Daqing Town, as an important ferry terminal on the Huai River, salt cargo distribution center, here are businessmen gathered, and there are many rich families.

It can be said that this water town has been like a small city, covering an area of extremely wide, although the town still has no city wall, but outside the town has dug out a ditch as a temporary moat, connecting the Huaishui, and the stone and wood houses of the large families in the town of the water collection town, it is to build the road defense line, the only fly in the ointment is this, the town of the water town is long and narrow, long from east to west, narrow from north to south, but it is to make the blow a lot wider.

However, Sima Yuan also placed a heavy guard here, with five battalions of elite, plus thousands of militiamen, the strength reached 4,000, and the defense of Jishui Town could also be assisted by two warships on the Huaishui River, although this warship was an old warship that captured the old Huaishui Legion, but it was two Xiaolou warships.

The two catapults on the two warships can become the mobile batteries of Jishui Town, protecting the east and west side of the street, not to mention, even the narrow area in the north, can be taken care of, although the attacking Green Forest Army and the security army also have catapults and other sharp weapons, but compared to the small building ship that is easy to move, it is much inferior, in the process of shooting, it can be said that it has suffered a lot.

Attacked several times in the north of the town of Jishui. In the end, he didn't even enter the town, but lost no less than a thousand people. Fortunately, Pang Qingshan, the leader of the Green Forest Army, is not a reckless and unscrupulous person. Seeing that the water collection town was difficult to attack, he immediately made adjustments and ordered people to cut down trees everywhere, intending to build a batch of giant shields. Shield carts, vans to assist in attacking towns.

The flames burned brightly. A flame zone was formed outside the town of Catchment, not only as a new line of defense, but also as a way to prevent invading enemies from attempting to attack at night. The north of the town is ready for battle. The dock area, on the other hand, was busy enough, and under the torches, ships were crammed, seemingly chaotic, but retreating in an orderly manner.

Compared to Daqing Town, which does not have much wealth. The wealthy water-collecting towns were rich in the fortune of merchants who made their fortunes selling salt. However, each of the owners who spent a lot of money, naturally, could not be left to each other, and adhering to the idea of plucking the feathers of the wild goose, these rich families wanted to leave, and they had to pay a lot of charter fees, but this was not much more painful than their thousands of furniture and the family that could fill the cabin.

And as early as before, the massacre in Pangu Town spread rapidly, so this panic also made this plucking extremely smooth, and even some people took the initiative to come up and pay more charter fees, in order to be the first to leave here.

Peng, Wang Fatzi kicked the small table in front of him, his face trembled, and said loudly: "We must take Jishui Town tomorrow, if we can't take it, the whole town will be empty, what is the purpose of our two families, just for a broken town, what's the use of asking for it!"

Wang Fatzi's territory is not adjacent to this Jishui Town, so after the seizure, this is Pang Qingshan's territory, and he agreed to send troops together this time, but for the wealth in Jishui Town, after all, it costs money to raise soldiers, their kind of private army, the imperial court is even more indestructible, all rely on their own support, if the people of Jishui Town go empty, he will lose a lot this time.

In these years, no money is a bear egg, rich is the uncle, the following soldiers, you are short of a month's salary, don't want to instruct the move, and if you die in battle, you have to ask for how much compensation, Wang Fatzi can't lead the troops to fight, but the ability to settle accounts is first-class.

"Brother Wang, don't be impatient, aren't we already preparing, in addition, judging from today's situation, there are many soldiers and horses defending the other party in Jishui Town, although Brother Wang's catapult is a siege weapon, but there are mostly stone houses in Jishui Town, and it is impossible to break it at once like Daqing Town!"

"This time it can only be done with real guns and real knives, at this time, we can't help but preserve our strength, how about this, you and I will each send twenty earth spirit masters, and then recruit three hundred dead soldiers each, concentrate on attacking one place, as long as we can tear a hole in the water collection town, when the time comes, the army will rush up, with our numerical advantage, we can't take the water collection town!"

Wang An pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, just do as you say!"

Knock knock, the earth-shattering drums sounded in the open suburbs, the Green Forest Army, the security army who rested all night out of the camp tent one after another, outside the town to open a fight, and compared to yesterday, in the array, it is to launch a dozen ugly carts, although these carts are rough, but they are rough skin and thick flesh type, especially the big wooden shield in front of which is directly tied by rough wood, unless it is a large magic crossbow can be shot through.

"Attack!" The six hundred dead soldiers selected by the two families, as well as forty earth spirit powerhouses, were mixed in, relying on these dozen or so carts to advance towards the front little by little, and behind the six hundred dead soldiers, the only archers in the two armies also began to step forward, ready to provide them with some remote assistance.

However, Jishui Town, obviously a hornet's nest, is completely disproportionate in terms of long-range strength, and there is no comparison in quality, especially on the cargo ships from the south to the north, they are not empty ships, but they are carrying countless arrows, as well as more than 30 large and small bed crossbows temporarily drawn from the rear army, this is still Jishui Town, there is really no place to place more large offensive and defensive equipment, otherwise it is not a problem to double the more.

Aggressive, aggressive, the arrows in the sky are something that makes the Green Forest Army, the security army quite unforgettable, the siege of the city before, at least no less than six or seven hundred brothers fell directly on the way to charge, although they finally rushed to a place only more than 20 meters away from the town, but was blocked by a ditch, and left more than 200 corpses, before they were defeated and retreated.

Listening to the crisp sound of the big wooden shield in front of them, the hearts of these soldiers were much more relaxed, although there were still countless arrows flying down on both sides, sticking into the ground, like arrows and grass, people couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit. But with this wooden shield .......

The soldiers were still thinking about it, and suddenly there was a bang. There was an explosion from the huge wooden shield. And the wooden shield, which was more than a foot wide, actually pierced through a crossbow arrow as sharp as a big toe, and the sharp arrow of the giant crossbow arrow pointed directly at the tip of the nose of a soldier hiding under the shield, only a little. He was shot in the head.

This blow made the hearts of these dead soldiers almost jump out: "Even this crossbow can't penetrate this wooden shield." There are also terrible birds, and when we get to the edge of the town, we will follow those masters. Kill it in one go!"

It is said so. Those soldiers who were worried suddenly calmed down, yes, they couldn't even shoot through the crossbow arrows, what else was there to be afraid of.

"Lord Staff, the other party dispatched a lot of earth spirit powerhouses, and the front line of the moat was broken. The soldiers on the other side continued to kill, and Captain Zhao asked the staff to send troops to support. Retake the line!"

"If you lose it, you will lose it, hit the flag, and use the No. 2 plan!" Sima Yuan stood in the middle of the town, and the makeshift command tower could almost overlook the whole town here, so Sima Yuan saw the fierce battle in the northeast.

"Retreat!" Zhao Yingwei, who was unable to fight with his two fists and four hands, was embarrassed, and suddenly there was a gong sound in his ears, Zhao Yingwei suddenly waved his fists, and there was a sound of breaking the air from his fists, not to mention, on the cyan fist, more than a dozen small wind blades shot out, and hit the difficult high-level earth spirit on the opposite side.

Zhao Tianhao is also at the level of earth spirits, but he is only at the middle level, but in the face of the high-level earth spirits on the opposite side, he is not lagging behind, of course, this is also due to the fact that he is not only an earth spirit, but also a physical body has also cultivated to the level of a martial artist, becoming a member of the dual cultivation of spirit and martial arts, and his strength has risen sharply.

But there are too many earth spirit powerhouses dispatched by the other party, and his subordinates can't stop the opponent's assault at all: "Retreat!" Zhao Tianhao roared loudly, he was not slow at all, and when the other party parried, he turned around and ran, the earth spirit warrior of the wind system, but he was the best at escaping, and he was smeared with oil under his feet, and he swooped out more than ten meters away.

The captains of this battalion all ran away, and the soldiers of the Chu army, who had just struggled to support, instantly lost their previous stubborn resistance, retreated in defeat, and fled in embarrassment, and after defeating the defenders, those dead soldiers, earth spirit masters, continued to rush forward and kill in the town.

"It's broken, it's broken, haha, pass on my military order, the army will go out, take Jishui Town, everyone will be rewarded!" Wang An looked at the gap that had been breached, and immediately laughed and shouted loudly.

And Pang Qingshan also knew that the opportunity was rare, and he did not hesitate to invest in the main force, and thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly headed like a sea, like a big wave towards Jishui Town.

In a sparse forest not far from the two armies, most of the trees had been cut down into siege engines, and all that was left was a single stake, and a large patch of withered yellow grass and shrubs, and there were hardly many people hidden here, but seven or eight people could still hide.

"Senior brother, the enemy army is all killing Jishui Town, shouldn't we make a move!"

Mu Chen looked at the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound in the distance, and said with a grin at the corner of his mouth: "It's time for us to take action, let these guys see the power of our East Imperial Gate!"

"Okay, just wait for the senior brother to nod, junior brothers, don't keep it, how many puppets have been taken out, and now I will use these rich people to build the prestige of our Seven Heroes of the Imperial Gate!"

Mu Chen looked at these younger generation of Yumen disciples, but he was full of emotion, the born calves are not afraid of tigers, and these guys can be regarded as catching up with a good time, in the past, it takes a lot of effort to cultivate a disciple in the East Imperial Gate, and there is a limit to the number, and it is difficult to expand.

But since climbing to the Great Chu, in addition to the main island on the sea, the East Royal Gate has also established a branch in Chuzhou, provided qualified students by the Great Chu, and provided the East Imperial Gate needs to make various materials for the puppet, under this strong support, the East Royal Gate from the scale of several generations of less than 1,000 people, directly has more than 5,000 disciples of the big school, although there are not many disciples who can be born at present, but when the calculation is timed, not two or three years, there will be a large number of disciples of the East Royal Gate to join the Great Chu army.

And what is the most powerful thing in the East Imperial Gate, it is not the so-called earth spirit strength, but the unique method of the Eastern Imperial Gate Imperial Puppet, sprinkling beans into soldiers, because there are many disciples now, so as long as the materials are sufficient, like him, it is not a problem to control thousands of puppets at a time, of course, this kind of control can only be rough control, if you want to completely control a puppet, he can only control seven or eight.
