The addition of young and middle-aged people suddenly alleviated the danger of the city tower, and the remaining soldiers of the Beishan Battalion who resisted to the death also showed excited looks, and each gave up their lives to die and rushed to the front.

Wang Jiu and the others, infected by the fierce battle in front of them, were red-eyed again, and fought with the bandits who climbed the city tower.

The young man behind him picked up the weapons of the dead soldiers and quickly joined the battle, although they did not know how to use the weapons correctly, but with their high fighting spirit, with the assistance of the soldiers of the Beishan Battalion.

In less than a quarter of an hour or so, the bandits on the castle tower were slaughtered, and the people once again stabilized the situation.

The bandits who desperately climbed towards the castle tower fell from the ladder one after another from the countless stones and logs that fell down.

With the help of the people, about twice as many stones and logs were transported than before, and even though the bandits were not caring about life and death, they continued to suffer casualties in the face of a steady stream of fierce counterattacks that had already gained a firm foothold, and finally retreated temporarily.

On the tower of the city, looking at the temporarily retired bandits, Wang Jiu and other people shouted and cheered, their faces full of joy.

Even if they were injured, they were not so excited to see the large number of bandits temporarily withdraw, after all, this was the first time they had repelled the bandits head-on, which gave them hope.

The cheers of the people, Li Chongxiang showed a smile on his face, and glanced at Su Ji, and there was a deep admiration for Su Qi'an in their eyes.

If it is said that leading troops to fight a war relies on superb strategy, then taking the people as one of the links and letting the people take the initiative as reinforcements to help is not only a test of resourcefulness, but also a control of people's hearts.

It can be said that Su Qi'an's control and application of people's hearts have reached a certain point of supernatural understanding.

The two glanced at Su Qi'an in the crowd, retracted their gaze, and then Li Chongxiang walked out and said to the people who contributed to this battle.

"In this battle, you can not be afraid of danger and help each other, and Benzhou is here to express my gratitude on behalf of King Yu."

"Lord Zhou Mu is polite, Changping is our home, if we watch the bandits run rampant, we are still indifferent, then we are still human."

"That's right, Brother Jiu is right, my lord, then we will all obey your command until these bandits are completely driven out of Changping."

Li Chongxiang was quite relieved by the opening of the crowd, and the reason why they fought on the front line under great pressure was to awaken the resistance of the local people.

If you want to quell the rebellion in Zhongzhou, it is useless to rely on them alone, mainly relying on the local people, only with the participation of the local people, no matter how chaotic Zhongzhou is, there can also be a time for pacification.

The power of the people, at critical moments, under special guidance, can often exert great strength, which is also one of the steps of Su Qi'an's plan to discuss with them.

Although there is a great risk, but fortunately, it was done in the end, don't look at this battle only woke up the people of Changping County, but the effect is huge.

The efforts of the people of Changping are like a fuse, which will be seen by the people of all counties and let them know that the so-called bandits are not as terrible as they imagined.

If you want to live and live the peaceful life you used to have, there is no other way but to resist.

If the previous announcement called on the people to resist, many people waited and watched, but the first battle of the people of Changping was the best example.

I believe that it will not be long before earth-shaking changes will take place in Zhongzhou, and if it weren't for Su Qi'an's boldness and carefulness, this would never have been possible.

Originally, according to the meaning of Su Ji and Li Chongxiang, they wanted to make this matter public, on the one hand, to publicize Su Qi'an's achievements, and on the other hand, to improve Su Qi'an's prestige, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

But when this matter was planned, it was stopped by Su Qi'an, the reason is very simple, although he is temporarily safe in Zhongzhou now, Zhongzhou has never been his foothold.

Only by returning to Xizhou, gathering a group of subordinates, and raising troops to counterattack is the right thing, and if it is publicized at this time, it will completely expose Su Qi'an's traces.

When the time comes, Su Zhe and Su Tai in Kyoto will definitely send people to assassinate them, and then they will bring trouble to Zhongzhou.

The best way now is to conceal all traces of Su Qi'an, take advantage of Su Zhe and Su Tai's accession to the throne, and seize power in Kyoto, and quell the turmoil in Zhongzhou as quickly as possible.

In order to prevent Su Zhe and Su Tai from getting involved in Zhongzhou in the future, a large number of militias must be established in Zhongzhou, which is why Su Qi'an let the local people participate in the war.

Only the people in various localities have the heart to protect their homeland, establish a militia, at least have a certain combat capability, and cooperate with the regular army, even if the number of Zhongzhou soldiers is small, they can rely on the local militia to stabilize their position.

The reason why the militia was established was also for Su Ji and Li Chongxiang, after all, the militia was an organization that appeared more or less in Daliang, and its predecessor was a private soldier who guarded the homes in the hands of the major magnates, but it was strengthened by Su Qi'an and changed its name.

An organization like this, even if Su Zhe and Su Tai find fault in the future, it is not easy to say anything, but once the people are wantonly expanded into the regular army, it will give Su Zhe and Su Tai a reason to attack.

Even if the two of them were blamed in Da Liang, on the surface, the two of them were still the so-called legitimate heirs of Da Liang, and it was with this identity that they gave the two of them a justifiable reason to send troops.

Either the states obediently surrendered, or they were attacked as rebels, this is the confidence of the two.

Therefore, in order to protect Zhongzhou from infringement in the future, at least to make the second king feel jealous, the establishment of a militia is necessary.

Of course, this matter has to wait for the end of the Battle of Changping to be carried out little by little.

At the moment, the bandits have withdrawn, but only temporarily, and they know better than anyone how important it is for them to take Changping County.

Therefore, now is not the time to relax, Li Chongxiang after thanking him, immediately ordered the young and middle-aged to enter the various posts of the city tower, and the rest of the people actively prepared stones and logs, ready for battle at any time.

And those bandits who withdrew their troops, as Su Qi'an expected, had no intention of withdrawing at all.

In normal times, perhaps the offensive was frustrated and they withdrew, but now, once they withdraw, what awaits them must be the end of the world.

The two commanders were angry in the city, and the large troops on both sides also came quickly, if they did not rush to the front, Changping was occupied by the other party, and the rear could only lead the large army to face the hard bar.

This kind of casualty must not be seen in any case, so no matter what, even if all their bandits of thousands of people are wiped out, they must take Changping City in front of them.

The retreating bandits were quickly stopped by several bandit leaders, and without saying a word, they raised their knives and fell, killing the first few people.

Viciously said to the bandits, "Hundreds of people can't beat them, they're all fucking a bunch of useless waste!" I can't even take down a small county town, bastard, and now I still want to run, can I run away? ”

"Fucking cheer up Lao Tzu, if Changping can't take it, I don't need to say the consequences, you all know, this time a few of us will personally lead you to charge, if anyone dares to take a step back, I will definitely cut off his head."

"Fucking listen to my orders, rush to Lao Tzu, and kill these untouchables!"

After the words fell, several bandit leaders took the lead, jumped up, rushed to the front, and the bandits who were stunned in place came back to their senses, looked at the overseers holding bows and crossbows not far away, their faces changed, and they knew that if they took a step back, not to mention their heads to kill them, those crossbowmen who supervised the battle would shoot them absolutely unceremoniously.

Anyway, it's a death, it's better to die on the battlefield, and it's good to pull a few people on their backs.

The bandits gritted their teeth, made up their minds, shouted, and quickly followed the bandit leader's footsteps.

In the siege battle just now, they suffered at least 1,000 casualties, and this time, except for the supervising team, the rest of the people did not stay, and they poured out, bound to take the small Changping County in front of them.

The bandits poured out, and everyone on the city tower saw it clearly, and everyone's faces were tense, holding the weapons in their hands, waiting for the order, and launching a charge at any time.

As time passed, seeing the bandits pouring out of the nest approaching the city tower again, the battle between the two sides was about to break out again.

Suddenly, in the middle of the air in the distance, a low and melodious horn sounded, both sides were stunned, and the first to come back to his senses was Su Ji, who was rarely out of shape, and said excitedly.

"It's our reinforcements that have arrived, our reinforcements!"

After a while, the bandits who launched the offensive clearly felt that the ground around them began to shake, and the noisy sound continued to come from all directions from small to large, from far to near.

Before the figure could be seen, immediately after, the surrounding sky was covered with a rain of arrows shooting at great speed.

The bandit leader looked at this scene and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, defend quickly!" ”

The shield-bearer quickly rushed forward, and although he resisted most of the arrows, after a round of rapid fire, countless figures appeared in all directions.

These people wore armor, held halberds, their faces were gloomy, and every step they took was neat and consistent, with heavy footsteps, and from a distance, a sense of solemnity came to their faces.

"It's over! It's a Zhongzhou soldier! ”

Some of the bandits shouted the name in despair.

The soldiers who can stay in Zhongzhou, and fight with them for a few rounds, and live to the current Zhongzhou soldiers, are the real elite.

To be honest, if they didn't have a huge numerical advantage, they would definitely not want to encounter this group of killing gods.

Looking at the number of appearances, the Zhongzhou soldiers that appeared this time are a large army, even if they don't come out, but they are about the same.

"What about our reinforcements? Are they all fucking dead! ”

Some bandits couldn't help but scold, they couldn't have imagined that the large troops on both sides were actually Zhongzhou soldiers who came in advance, and their reinforcements couldn't even see a ghost.

Feeling the momentum exuded by the Zhongzhou soldiers, some bandits couldn't stand it anymore and ran towards the rear desperately.

Someone took the lead, and fear spread in the ranks, and the bandits who finally gathered were like an anthill encroaching on the embankment, constantly collapsing.

Even if several bandit leaders killed and kept slashing and killing the escapees, they couldn't stop this trend of escape, especially at this time, the city gate of Changping County, which was closed in front of them, suddenly opened.

Under the sound of killing shouts, the bandits who were surrounded in the middle, the only little resistance left in their hearts, immediately dissipated, and began to flee in a large area.

The bandit leaders also showed a look of despair when they looked at this scene, they knew that if they lost, not only did they lose, but they were afraid that they would not even be able to save their lives.
