Tongjia Silk Manor outside Zunyi City, in a magnificent mansion, Zhang Tiande and others are deliberating, everyone at the banquet is full of ambition and high spirits, there is no sense of defeat in the siege of failure, and now it is like a hungry wolf who has just eaten a sheep, licking the blood on the side of his mouth, looking for the next prey.

The old boss said: "Big brother, now that the brothers are full of food and drink, you can take advantage of the high morale to continue to attack the county seat, I am willing to be the vanguard and fight Zunyi City for the brothers!" Other bandit leaders, big and small, also spoke out in agreement.

It turned out that these people heard that there were only four or five hundred soldiers who could fight in Zunyi City now, and they immediately wanted to pick up a soft persimmon and pinch it, and they wanted to break the city and plunder the property.

Zhang Tiande knew what the three of them meant, he pondered for a while, and said: "The three brothers should not be underestimated, tomorrow leave five hundred people here to guard the slaves and goods, and the rest will follow me to attack Zunyi, although Zunyi is small, we must go all out." ”

Seeing that Zhang Tiande did not agree, the second child was slightly disappointed in his heart, thinking that this piece of fat meat was afraid that it would fall into Zhang Tiande's hands again, because according to the rules, whoever broke through the county seat first, and the distribution of goods afterwards would make the most profits, and they bandits could only follow behind and drink some soup.

The second child secretly made up his mind, when it comes to attacking Zunyi, he must be the vanguard, take the lead in breaking the city, and get the biggest benefit, they have been attacking Zunyi for two or three days now, presumably the Qing army is also deploying troops, and must rush to grab enough goods and slaves before the Qing army comes, and return to the nest.

The robbers who tasted the benefits couldn't wait, and early the next morning, they pulled out the village and set up camp, Zhang Tiande left five hundred white turban soldiers to guard the plundered people and property, and he led the army to kill Zunyi County again, and killed Zunyi City in half a day.

Looking at the familiar second brother of Zunyi City in front of him, he said: "After our robbery and killing in the periphery, those ordinary people and squires must have already gotten the news, and now they should all be hiding in the county town in front of them." ”

Zhang Tiande said: "The second brother is reasonable, this time we will fight quickly, without further ado, let's start attacking the city now." ”

The second child stood up and said, "Big brother, I am willing to be a pioneer." ”

The third child also stood up and said, "Big brother, I am also willing to be a pioneer." ”

Zhang Tiande thought for a while, and then said: "Since the second child took the initiative to ask for help, then it will bother your department, and when the third child arrives, you will lead the army to release arrows to the city to cover the siege." ”

Wu Yunlin stood at the head of the city, looking at the enemy army under the city, the tension that had been surrounding his heart a few days ago was swept away, and he didn't have the tension of waiting to die at all, and now he just wanted to fight vigorously, he looked at the bandits swarming and ordered the gunners to prepare to open fire.

The second child looked at the city in front of him, and heard that there were only a few hundred officers and soldiers inside, as long as he gathered his strength and attacked with all his strength, he was still very sure that he would take this small city with one charge.

Thinking of this, he immediately issued an order, led all his three thousand elite soldiers, pushed the ladder, the siege vehicle, and held the blade, and rushed towards Zunyi City frantically, and behind them, it was the archers of the third child who desperately shot their bows and arrows towards the city.

The soldiers at the head of the city immediately picked up the wooden shield to resist, only to hear a ding-ding-ding-ding, I don't know how many arrows only shot on the wooden shield, because the distance was too far, and it was shot below, when the bow and arrow flew to the city, the strength had weakened, but occasionally there would still be a miserable cry of the soldier being shot by the bow and arrow.

Wu Yunlin shouted: "When the enemy army is two hundred steps away from the city wall, the artillery fires, reloads the scattered bullets, and the target is the enemy archers!" ”

Gradually, the enemy was getting closer and closer, and Wu Yunlin saw that all the enemy archers had entered the best attack range of the artillery, so he shouted: "Open the cannon!" "Twenty-five gunners aimed at the enemy archers, lit the arquebuses at the rear of the cannons, and heard a loud bang, thousands of projectiles flew out, and the archers who were advancing were as if swept by a gust of wind, and more than 200 people were knocked down in an instant.

The artillery is extremely powerful, the stone projectile hits the body, and no armor can protect it, after a burst of cannons, I saw the archers who were still in a pile just now, and now the flesh and blood are blurred, falling to the ground, not only that, stumps and broken arms can be seen everywhere, as well as bloody intestines and internal organs, scattered all over the battlefield.

The third who was sweeping the formation behind was startled, he didn't expect that there was still artillery in this Zunyi County, didn't his grandmother say that it was all broken, his own thousand archers, he lost one-fifth of it at once, but at this time, he couldn't give up, he could only press it up, as long as the city was broken, these archers were not sacrificed in vain.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, and it was the Wu Baiming archers team who rushed up, it would take a while to recharge after the cannon was fired, and he had to take advantage of this time to kill and injure more enemies as soon as possible.

Nearly 1,000 archers released arrows at the same time, the momentum was amazing, Wu Yunlin waved his hand again, and the 100 musketeers under his command and the 200 officers and soldiers defending the city took turns to shoot at the city according to the content of daily training.

At the moment, they were firing in groups of three in turn, aiming at the bandits and archers who were swarming. Although the archers kept moving, the success rate of the musketeers' shooting was much lower, but in the continuous shooting, each time the projectile was fired, dozens of enemy soldiers would fall in response, and after a few rounds of shooting, the bandits had not yet climbed the city wall and suddenly put down more than 600 archers and more than 500 bandits.

The third didn't expect the enemy muskets to be so sharp, half a day's effort, his own archers lost seven or eight hundred people, under the pain of the flesh, he hurriedly ordered the archers to withdraw, without the cover of the archers' bows and arrows, Wu Yunlin's musketeers no longer had any scruples, and went all out to bombard the bandits under the city.

The muskets were condescending, and the attack was more powerful, and the dense muskets rang out in bursts, and the siege soldiers suffered heavy losses, and from time to time someone was hit in the body by the musket, and fell to the ground wailing.

The siege bandits are getting closer and closer, and the musketeers are now almost able to miss a shot. The musketeers stood at the head of the city, and as soon as they fired, most of the enemy soldiers were shot in the body, either dead or wounded.

Zhang Tiande has been on the battlefield for a long time, seeing that the situation is not good, he immediately made a decision, and hurriedly ordered the second child to withdraw his troops, the second child was beaten dizzy, and was already a little blind, and he did not react for a while, after getting Zhang Tiande's order, he woke up like a dream, and knew that he could not rush up to the enemy as a target in vain, so he shouted loudly and ordered his subordinates to withdraw their troops.

The soldiers at the head of the city saw the enemy retreating, their morale was greatly boosted, and they constantly aimed at the enemy's back, firing continuously, and the bandit soldiers paid the price of 100 lives before finally escaping from the range of the muskets.

Wu Yunlin will not let go of this group of invaders easily, just when they thought they were safe, the cannon at the head of the city had been reloaded again, the gunners brushed and lit the fire rope, the cannon roared, this time it was still loaded with scattered bullets, countless projectiles flew out, and took the lives of hundreds of bandit soldiers. The rest of the bandits were like frightened rabbits, and after a wild run, they finally withdrew out of the range of the cannons, and at this time, there were only more than 1,000 men left in the second child, and some of the wounded, and the second child also lost six or seven hundred archers.
