It was the rickshaw driver who picked up Huai Sheng at the city gate that day and sent him to the West Street of the City God's Temple. From the information he brought back, everyone learned a lot about things outside the city, and the arrangement of the opponent gradually became clear.

This time, the Zodiac Xi'an Mansion made a big move, the city was the great grandmaster, and some of the political secretaries and judges released the prisoners, captured Yongfeng Cang, and the main force should join forces to seize Yongning Gate, and then attack the Qin Wangfu after welcoming the people from the outside.

Outside the city is arranged by the master Gan Xing and the right son of the great protector Fa Luo, and militarily it is the general Cheng who is in charge. General Cheng and Gan Xing attacked Yongning Gate and Nanguo Gate respectively, and Luo Youzi went to seize the warehouse of Shudian.

In addition, some people led by the Dharma Protector Ma Ziqian to seize the Baqiao to meet the people who rose on the east bank of the Bahe River, and after the rendezvous, they attacked the Tonghua Gate, the east gate of Lintong or Waikou City, which was mainly to contain the role of the defenders of Waikou City.

Shen Yu sent his lieutenant Sun Qi to disguise himself as a merchant and go out of the city with his entourage and chariots and horses to coordinate the battles of various departments, while the governor Yamen sent Lu Rui and Li Tiedao to assist.

After the gates were closed, all the city walls were under martial law. The armies of the avant-garde and the rearguard went up to the city, and the city was as usual, and even the red mansions were still open as usual.

One hundred and eight drums were beaten on the drum tower, and the city-wide curfew began. According to the judge's sentence, under the guidance of patrol inspection and local arrest, they entered from multiple alleys and surrounded Gedan Temple.

Several lieutenants in brocade clothes came forward to knock on the door, and after a while, they came out with three monks with shackles and shackles, got into a car, and drove quickly towards the outer city.

From this point on, a large number of officials, patrolmen and regimental drills appeared in the city, and the catchers entered the alleys under the protection of force, and constantly took people away.

Some were sent to Waikou City, others to the Judge Prison, and the lower ones were sent to the Prefecture and County Prisons.

At first, the people of the Zodiac did not notice it, but when the number of people who were taken away increased, some people panicked and reported it, and everyone realized that the government was arresting people in a planned and purposeful manner, so they began to cause an uproar.

Unexpectedly, the government was also obedient, and someone immediately came out to stop the arrest of the officials and servants, and ordered a retreat to avoid contact.

The people of the Zodiac Sect were inexplicable, but after the tandem, they found that the people who were arrested were all backbones, and they immediately realized that something was wrong.

Xicheng began to take to the streets to smash shops, besiege the Chang'an County Government and the Xi'an Mansion Office, and then some people rushed to the Department of Justice and the Department of Administration, everything was not in an orderly manner as planned, but it finally began.

The people in Dongcheng panicked when they couldn't find the great master, and some people said that they saw that many of the people who were arrested were sent to Changle Gate, and everyone guessed that they were arrested and imprisoned in the governor's yamen or military camp in Waikou City.

Under the anger of the crowd, people flocked to Changle Gate, only to find that it had already been prepared to meet the attack.

After the crossbow shot, the officers and troops of Chang'an's right guard surrounded them, and a massacre began, with thousands of people falling in front of Changle Gate.

The right guard Qianzong ordered to clean up Dongcheng, and fires began to break out in several places, and the Dongcheng regimental training and inspection department were dispatched to search and extinguish the fire while searching.

At this time, a team of government officials quickly surrounded Kaiyuan Temple with the cooperation of the Wing Dragon Guard and the regimental training, and arrested the four fake monks from Gansu.

Although the price of two deaths and four injuries was paid, the complete capture of these four people is a big gain!

Hearing the noise in the city and seeing the firelight, the Zodiac believers gathered outside the city were all surprised, but they didn't expect the people inside to do it in advance!

Caught off guard, they had no choice but to respond, and General Cheng decided to launch it in advance and immediately attack Yongning Gate!

The problem is that they started first, and when the sound reached the outside of Nanguo Gate, they didn't know what was going on, thinking that they had been discovered by the officials and soldiers in advance, and some people were so frightened that they were about to leave, and the morale of the army was a little shaken.

Fortunately, the herald rushed to tell him that it was the South Gate that had started the fight first, so that this side would also be launched. When Gan Xing heard this, he ordered a fire, and the whole army rushed to the banknote factory in Chitou.

It must be said that the thousands of torches raised in the big night are quite spectacular, Zhao Jingzi looked at it from a distance, and he didn't even need a telescope to see it clearly!

couldn't help sneering, and told the Duanjia brothers: "You see how horizontal the family is, don't even cover it up, just show us!"

Duan Fang said that when the artillery rang out, they would be honest. Duan Yan said:

"My lord, I see that although they are numerous, they actually lack experience in battle formations, let's wait a while and don't fight with them first, just use the guns, the black goo rumble they are in the light and the dark, and guarantee that these people will not be able to bear it after a few rounds of guns.

They will not have the courage of the Kaers!"

Zhao Jingzi nodded: "At the beginning of the charge, you take the guard company to cut off its tail, and the ugly whirlwind commands the artillery to beat them hard, and then we go down to capture the prisoners!" After speaking, he commanded all the people to line up and advance in the direction of Qujiangchi.

Li Dan went to the city to watch the battle with his wounds, and saw that the enemy's long line of torches rushed directly to the banknote factory, and soon the sound of "crackling" firearms shot sounded from that side.

"Hongsheng and they exchanged fire." He muttered, turned to Yang Yi and nodded, "Go ahead, be quick!" Watching Yang Yi salute and run down the city, Li Dan ordered: "Let Gao Cang set off, and the cavalry wait."

As he was talking, suddenly there was a commotion behind him, and Lu Jiu shouted, "My lord, there is a fire in the city!" Li Dan looked back and said with a sneer:

"Don't worry, it's just an attempt to divert their attention. In addition to the standard camp in the outer city, there are also Xi'an Left Guards, the Inspection Department and the regimental training, and these people can't help it."

He believed that Yang Wu and Shi Dajun were available at any time with a battalion of people, and the small waves could not make much movement.

The key now is Liu Hongsheng, who withstood it, attracted the enemy, and enabled the other troops to complete the encirclement, so that the tide of the battle could be fundamentally reversed.

Thinking of this, he turned his face to look at Tongyuanmen. As long as Du Shiji and the workers of Weinan came to stabilize the situation in Lintong, he could pull the cavalry back to the southern battlefield!

But the direction of Lintong is now dark, and there is not even a single fire.

Cao Jun noticed his gaze and comforted him softly, "Maybe they don't know that this is already happening, don't be in a hurry and wait." Li Dan nodded.

Suddenly, a messenger came: "The thieves have attacked the governor's yamen."

"Didn't the left guard move?" Cao Jun was surprised and asked, "Why did they rush to the yamen?"

"Cao Zhongjun, we don't know how to do it." The herald hastened to reply, "It is as if the thief had come out of the ground and caught the brethren by surprise."

"What?" Lu Jiu was anxious: "My lord, let me go back and have a look!" This fish belly (Yu Liang) is a good hand at reconnaissance, and I'm afraid it's not enough to fight one-on-one!"

Due to the exhaustion of the generals, the defense of the governor's yamen was handed over to Wan Siyou and Yu Liang, who were responsible for the security of the periphery and the internal affairs respectively.

No one expected that there would be thieves in the yamen, thinking that this was an easy job, and he was not happy to leave Yu Liang behind. I never thought that the thieves would be able to dig through the tunnel to bloom in the center.

Li Dan was also a little unable to sit still, he felt that it was his own negligence. "Lao Lu, you leave a class for me, and bring the rest of the people with you!"

"Okay!" Lu Jiu ran away, there were Ah Ying and Wu in the yamen, Young Master Li Cunshi, who was sticking to him every day and riding a big horse, and Yutong, who had already pointed out to him as his daughter-in-law, none of these people should be missing!

"Leave one class, and the rest will follow me to kill the thief!" He opened his eyes like bells and yelled at the teachings that stood silently under the city.

Liu Hongsheng was standing behind the walls of the banknote factory at this time, directing the battle.

Due to the special nature of this factory, safety was the primary concern, so it was originally designed as a fortress, and the core complex was in the fortress proposed by Li Dan.

The location of the Chitou factory site itself is composed of rolling hills, and Li Dan decided to make full use of the original terrain.

The top of the hill was flattened to form a small fort with a three-foot-thick battlement and a female wall, which resembled a horse's face, and a parapet with a shooting hole connected it to the next fort, and each was within the range of each other's firearms and crossbows.

At the center of each fort is a stone block, with ladders leading up and down to underground communication trenches protected by arched cement prefabricated elements and earth, which allows soldiers to fight at various heights.

It would have been difficult for the enemy to capture this vast fort with seventy-three small forts without thousands of casualties.

And the most terrible thing is to use these hills

In the valley, the builders built a winding moat.

The defenders could gradually retreat through the trenches, retreating all to the upper forts, and then opening the gates to flood the lower trenches to form a moat, and the gates were located in the depths of a little-known communication trench.

Even if the opponent had captured all the trenches and the small forts, they had not yet achieved their goal, because the two gate towers had not yet been captured, the top road that could be walked around the city had not been captured, and the various defensive points in the city had not been captured.

When it was first built, no one understood why it was designed in this way, and when Liu Hongsheng faced the thousands of people gathered outside the outer Hao, he didn't understand why he only gave himself 400 people to guard.

Of course, the security team and the workers' self-defense force in the factory have been armed, and there are thousands of people to help defend it, but ......, he once looked at the sloping ramp and swallowed his spit, muttering in his heart whether this city was not completed, or was it cut corners?

The iron-clad suspension bridge creaked up with the help of mules and gears in the gate tower. The thick iron cable was specially ordered from the Luoyang Iron Factory, and the knife and arrow shooting were useless, which made him feel at ease.

The thief on the opposite side walked to the drawbridge and pointed fingers. The trench was only seven feet deep, and there was no obstacle in it except for the newly grown grass, and on the opposite bank was a sloping beachhead and a large uphill slope, which seemed to be able to reach the top with a single charge.

"It's called the wall?" Someone laughed insolently. Liu Hongsheng's heart hung again.

"Vice-seater, it looks like the enemy is going to attack here?" Said a company commander. Liu Hongsheng's position is the deputy regimental commander of the standard battalion, so everyone is used to calling him "deputy seat".

"Let the brethren go into the firing positions, they won't keep us waiting long." Liu Hongsheng gritted his teeth and finished speaking, and pulled out the self-generated short gun in the gun sleeve: "Tell everyone to listen to the whistle and then fire, don't waste ammunition!"

"Yes!"

Several officers of the security team appeared behind him: "Mr. Liu, what do you think we are doing?"

Liu Hongsheng pointed to the artillery on the gun emplacement: "Three brothers were left in each gun position to help transport cannonballs and gunpowder, and the rest of the sword and shield men guarded the entrances of all the cantonment caves, and the spearmen went up the walls on both sides.

Behind the gate, the musketeers erected a ring of protective walls with sandbags, ready to be used as a line of defense when the gates were breached." He knew that the 300-strong security team had only 100 guns, and that those men had only hit fixed targets.

"If there is a loss to the people I have brought, I will draw someone from among them to make up for it." He said.

Sure enough, the other party used the drawbridge where the trench was narrowed as the main point of attack. They screamed, yelled, and shoved forward, holding all sorts of different guys in their hands, their faces twisted in the firelight.

At this time, Liu Hongsheng suddenly found that he was in a good position, condescending! Eh, is it also an uphill slope down there?

As soon as he recalled the road he had traveled when he came, he suddenly realized that two hundred steps away from below was a back attack, and Li Sanlang did it on purpose!

In a flash, the crowd had already overflowed the trench and rushed to the opposite bank. The small concrete-walled plaza between the two gate towers was filled up in an instant, and people looked around at a loss.

Some people used knives to cut down the fallen iron gates, and some hit the concrete walls of the gate towers with sticks, and many more looked down at the flat and solid ground with blank expressions.

The whistle blew, and a fire shot out from a six-foot-high hole above the tower, followed by a loud explosion, and everywhere there were blood splashes as people screamed and fell.

The artillery firing position also fired, and a large number of shotguns flew out, hitting a fan-shaped surface. The firebolts kept firing, and the people below let out "Ah............h The shouts.

The four who escaped the catastrophe saw this tragic situation and ran away in fright. The sound of artillery and guns continued, and the figures in front of them were gradually covered by the smoke, and some people in the tower coughed loudly.

The bamboo flute sounded, and the cannon and gun stopped ringing. A group of soldiers who had given themselves 10,000 guns and ammunition went to the shooting hole to take over their posts, and they saw hundreds of corpses lying down in front of them, spreading all the way to the other side of the trench.

The smell of blood wafted everywhere, and many people rubbed their noses, their hearts beating suddenly.

"Eh, drip!" A security guard who was left behind looked at the scene outside the shot hole and his legs trembled: "Luck, luck

I didn't stay with them."

"Have you opened your eyes?" The cannon commander took a sip of the gourd, laughed and stuffed it into his hand:

"What is this, you haven't seen what the Lao Tzu fought on the battlefield in Liaodong, that's a miserable one! Later, it took three days to bury the body!

Now you know why people say that our standard camp is the strongest army in the world, right? That's not blowing it out!"

After two or three rounds, Liu Hongsheng was relieved. Oh! It turns out that this castle designed by Saburo is used like this? This guy's brains are really ......!..

He has been following Li Dan for a short time, and every time he fights by his side, he always learns a lot when he thinks about it.

Liu Hongsheng secretly pondered, although he knew a few words and knew some kung fu, his ability to fight was much worse!

He remembered that Dan Ge'er had said to himself earnestly: If people don't make progress, the nine cows can't pull it, and the key lies in themselves. Only those who make progress forever can have more opportunities!

Liu Hongsheng thought that Li Dan would definitely need manpower to serve as governor this time, and this was a good opportunity to perform.

Now it's a Xi'an Mansion, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo are so big, I don't know if it's possible for me to ask San Lang to recommend this time, to be a thousand presidents or even guerrillas?

When he thought about it, his mind was full of life, and he wanted to fight this battle more and more!

"Come on, don't be stingy with tickets if you like this book!"
