The originally quiet Yangliu County Town, with the sound of low shouting, suddenly the dark streets were instantly lit up.

A large number of soldiers and servants quickly rushed to the city wall, and immediately fought with the bandits at the head of the wall.

The bandits' surprise attack caught them off guard, and this time they were careless, but it doesn't mean that their strength is not good.

After solving the bandits who opened the city gate, the soldiers who rushed out first stabilized their positions and cooperated with each other.

The bandits on the city wall, who were killed by them, gradually gained the upper hand, and they barely stabilized the situation.

The fierce battle that broke out on the city wall was naturally watched by the bandits who were preparing to storm the city.

The surprise attack has been discovered, and there is no point in sneaking around.

In the shouts of several bandit leaders, a large number of bandits behind them no longer hid their whereabouts, and quickly divided their troops into four directions, pointing directly at the four gates of Yangliu County.

It's not that they don't want to storm the front door in one go, this style of play is more stupid.

The defense of the main gate is often the strongest, piling everyone up at one gate, and it is impossible to open it at all.

Anyway, there are many of them, and they will divide their troops into four ways and attack with all their might, and the chance of being breached will be much greater than storming a city gate.

Their troops were divided into four routes, and the soldiers in the city, their forces were also dispersed, so that the bandits attacking at the main gate were relieved of a lot of pressure.

The bandits, like a tide, came in an instant, they roared, and in the rear, more than a dozen medium-sized catapults slowly pushed out.

More than a dozen boulders, with great power, slammed into the city wall, although the city wall was still solid as a rock, but everyone could feel the power of the boulder's projection.

As it approached, the arrows and feathers in the sky were overwhelming, and at a glance, it was clear that they had not received professional training, and half of them were missed.

But even so, the pressure on the soldiers in the city was not small, and they actively counterattacked while defending, and the two sides were inextricably fought.

At this time, Huo Cheng stood on the city wall and rushed to the front line, his face pale.

He never thought that the real target of this group of bandits would be Yangliu County.

Dare to attack the county town, what is the difference between this and rebellion, this group of bandits is too bold.

Can they not be big, everyone has weapons in their hands, everyone who rushes to the front, everyone is wearing armor, the rear catapults, and the crossbowmen are all equipped, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a group of troops.

The number of about 10,000 people, with all his strength attacking Yangliu County, is still very likely to be taken.

Once the city of Yangliu County is breached, not to mention his fate, the people in the city will suffer.

When the time comes, the city will be sacked, and with the high and thick city walls, it will be difficult for anyone to come, and it will be completely possible to occupy the city as the king.

They can be so bold, don't think about it, they definitely have support behind them, even if there is no support, it is a tacit acquiescence.

Yangliu County guards this position, but it is a piece of fragrant bread, and many people are quite red-eyed, and everyone wants to insert their own people into it.

Unexpectedly, he was cautious for more than ten years, and finally he was calculated.

Huo Cheng is to blame for this matter, who asked him to cooperate with the Qingcheng County Guard, and sold Su Qi'an in order to save his son's life.

"Maybe that's providence." Huo Cheng's face was full of complexity.

But this complex emotion quickly converged, and directly translated into a face full of majesty.

He held a long sword, took the lead, stood on the front line, and while killing the enemy, he organized soldiers and servants to counterattack.

The bandits of 10,000 people attacked the city, which made him feel more pressure, but Huo Cheng was definitely not a person who sat idly by.

Even if he dies in the end, he will die on the city wall, no matter how he says it, he is also a cool man, and he is also bloody.

With the order given, the only ten catapults in the city immediately counterattacked.

On the city walls, at various commanding heights, a large number of crossbowmen, under the cover of shield bearers, kept counterattacking.

After the bandits on the city wall were eliminated, the soldiers poured oil and logs under the wall.

The bandits who climbed the city wall wailed and fell from the city wall one after another.

The stubborn counterattack of the soldiers in the city frustrated the progress of the bandits' siege for a while.

The bandit leader who commanded in the rear looked at this scene with a serious expression, looking at the bandits who kept falling from the city wall, he did not give the order to retreat.

On the contrary, under his compulsory order, a large number of bandits in the rear, pushing siege vehicles, pushed towards the city gate, apparently intending to forcibly attack the city.

They dared to attack Yangliu County in a grand manner, in addition to their extraordinary courage, they also received support behind them.

But this support is not obvious, and it is a tacit acquiescence.

They are allowed to siege the city, but there is a time limit, a maximum of one night today.

If they can't take Yangliu County in one night, they will not only be punished, but it will be difficult for them to leave.

Although Jiaozhou is in chaos, this kind of chaos is under control, and it is unprecedented to gather 10,000 people and storm a county town like tonight.

If you don't do it quickly, it's easy for things to get out and it's easy to get bigger.

On the territory of Jiaozhou, bandits are absolutely not allowed to be so rampant, this is a provocation to Daliang officials, even if Li Kang wants to protect them, he has to kill a group of ghosts for the dead.

Therefore, since they chose to attack Yangliu County, they had to play with their lives, and if they couldn't take it, they would be the ones who would suffer.

The bandit leader quickly gave an order to anyone who could break through any of the four gates as quickly as possible.

The reward is 5,000 taels of silver, and after the city is broken, there is the qualification to give priority to plundering, under this heavy reward.

These bandits, each howling, attacked the city with all their might.

All of a sudden, the situation that was still in balance just now, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the upper hand gradually tilted towards the bandits' side.

There was no way, even if the soldiers in the city resisted very stubbornly, but under the absolute numerical superiority, they eventually showed a decline.

The counterattack just now, gradually, was directly and passively defended, and the soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties, at least more than a quarter.

And because of the dispersion of troops, except for the main gate, which is a little better, the other three city gates are all precarious.

Huo Cheng commanded, but he also knew that if it continued like this, it wouldn't be long before the city gate would be breached, but he had no choice.

Just now, he had already sent a message to ask for support, but far water could not quench his thirst, and even if this kind of distress letter was received, I am afraid that most people would not be able to acquiesce to it, waiting to see him die in the city.

Now Huo Cheng regrets it a little in his heart, in order to save his son's life, he buried the lives of the people in the county, which made Huo Cheng very guilty.

He roared, anger written on his face, and the long sword in his hand kept swinging at the bandits who rushed to the wall.

At this juncture, Huo Cheng gave the last order, vowing to live and die with the county town!"

Soon after the order was given, news came that the weakest northern gate had been breached, and a large number of bandits rushed in.

Huo Cheng's eyes were red, and with the available soldiers, he rushed to the north city gate, intending to make a final resistance.

But when he was determined to resist to the death, suddenly, a subordinate ran over and hurriedly said with joy.

"My lord, good news, we have reinforcements, just now, when the North City Gate was broken, thousands of soldiers suddenly appeared outside the city, and they directly dealt with all the bandits who rushed into the city."

"What... What! You say it again."

Huo Cheng's face changed, he was very excited, the north city gate was broken, he was ready to die, who knew that it would only take a few breaths.

It was a flip directly, and it was difficult for anyone to keep their composure.

The subordinate was equally excited, and he nodded again and again, "My lord, this is true, reinforcements have appeared at the North City Gate, and the crisis at the North City Gate has been resolved."

"And the reinforcements that rushed in have already divided their forces and headed for the remaining three city gates, and we are holding them for now."

"God bless the county town of Yangliu." Huo Cheng's face showed a smile, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take me to see the reinforcement commander, I want to thank him well."

Huo Cheng didn't know who the reinforcements were at this moment, but this did not prevent him from thanking him.

Yangliu County was in a precarious position, and it suddenly came out at this time

Now all the way to reinforcements.

Even if it is a priest and a native, as long as he helps, Huo Cheng will keep this kindness in his heart, which is really a great kindness.

In fact, there is no need for subordinates to lead, the reinforcements that came in from the north city gate, after the division of troops, the reinforcement commander led people towards the main gate.

If you want to solve the crisis of Yangliu County, you have to coordinate the forces of the entire county, and the main gate is where the headquarters of the entire county town is located.

Huo Cheng walked a few hundred meters or so, and finally met the reinforcement commander.

With a smile on his face, Huo Cheng just walked up to express his gratitude to the person in charge, and the moment his eyes looked at it.

The smile on his face froze suddenly, because the reinforcement commander was none other than the most unlikely Su Qi'an.

"You!" Huo Cheng's eyes widened, and there was a thick disbelief on his face.

He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Compared with Huo Cheng's shock, Su Qi'an seemed much calmer, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth and said.

"Hehe, Huo Junshou, I didn't expect that this reinforcement would be me, I surprised you."

Huo Cheng came back to his senses, his face was complicated, he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su Qi'an.

"Okay, now is not the time to explain to you, I still beat this wave of bandits back, and I'm explaining to you."

Huo Cheng also understood the importance of the current situation, he nodded, and took Su Qi'an to the main gate city wall.

"Huo Junshou, this time it is under the full command of Benhou, you don't have any opinions."

"Hou Ye Su said with a smile, no matter what Hou Ye asked the lower officials to do this time, the lower officials will fully cooperate, and they will never say a word."

Huo Cheng looked serious, what he said was not a lie, and if he didn't say anything else, he rushed that Su Qi'an could rescue Yangliu County, which was enough for Huo Cheng to fully cooperate.

Huo Cheng is not a fool, and neither is Su Qi'an, he can suddenly appear here, presumably most of them already know about the situation this time.

It stands to reason that if you are someone else, you can sit back and wait for Yangliu County to be breached, and then wait for the bandits to loot and relax their vigilance, or gather enough manpower.

When the time comes, it is the best policy, but Su Qi'an did not do this, and led the army to rescue him, regardless of his previous suspicions.

rushed to this affection, which made Huo Cheng both moved and ashamed.

If the crisis in Yangliu County can be resolved this time, from now on, Huo Cheng will definitely take Su Qi'an as the leader.

As the old saying goes, the icing on the cake is gratifying, but it is the most precious thing to send charcoal in the snow.
