319 Li Xinjian besieged the city

The camera cuts back to the Green Dragon Gate.

This is the place where Li Xinjian, the right guard of Tianjin and the guerrilla general, was responsible for the main attack.

Li Xinjian first asked his archers to shoot arrows at the city as cover.

Li Xinjian has more than 50 archers under him, who are usually kept as treasures, but they are only taken out at this moment, these archers are rare animals, and Li Xinjian is distressed when he is killed or injured.

The rogue on the city wall didn't know how powerful it was, and several people were killed by sharp arrows in an instant, so frightened that they hurriedly hid behind the wall.

Yan Xiaoer was angry, and ordered his supervisors to beat these cowards and release arrows at the city.

It's a pity that Yan Xiaoer's archers are all improvised patchwork, and the quality of the bows and arrows is far inferior to Li Xinjian's troops, and they shoot at each other for a while, and Li Xinjian only has two archers injured here, and they are all slightly injured.

The rogue on the city wall killed and wounded dozens of people.

From time to time, there were screams of arrows on the city wall, which made the other rogues tremble, and they did not dare to show their heads.

Yan Xiaoer looked angry, but there was nothing he could do.

They started too fast and too short a time to temper an elite army.

Like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they are all old men who have fought with the Great Zhou army, and the soldiers under them are all experienced in a hundred battles, the elite of the elite.

The people in Li Zicheng's old camp alone are no worse than the Tartars outside the gates, and they are even stronger.

It's just that elites need time to cultivate, and they need to invest a lot of money and possessions.

The cotton armor worn by Li Xinjian's fifty archers alone costs nearly twenty taels of silver, and it takes more than three months to build each set of cotton armor.

This is Li Xinjian's capital.

Although Yan Xiaoer grabbed a lot of silver, he didn't have time to precipitate.

When they fight, they don't have more money than anyone else, just like they rob those rich families, and the rich families have more silver, but they can't fight wars, they are just big fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

The battle instantly entered a fierce stage, and the level of both sides was not very strong, simply put, rookies pecked each other.

On the battlefield, from time to time, advancing soldiers were hit by arrows and sassal wood, and fell to the ground wailing.

Cao Youyi also prepared medical soldiers, and the wounded sergeants were carried down one by one.

Li Xinjian said with a smile: "These rogues are also local chickens and dogs, they are vulnerable, and after the city is broken, I will divide half of the property robbed by the rogues!" ”

Cao Youyi naturally has no opinion.

Because his family members are all in the overseer team, they are only responsible for sending those military households to death, and whoever dares to escape will be immediately stabbed.

One is preserving strength, and the other is looking forward to the beautiful scenery after the city is broken.

Originally, Cao Youyi wanted to join forces with Jia Baoyu to attack Xuanwu Gate, but this proposal was jointly opposed by Jia Baoyu and Li Xinjian.

Jia Baoyu didn't want to be dragged down by Cao Youyi.

Li Xinjian didn't want to bear the losses of the siege alone.

The two hit it off, and Cao Youyi could only accompany Li Xinjian to attack Qinglongmen together.

Li Xinjian promised these military households to his soldiers that as long as they could capture Qingxian, they would be rewarded with ten taels of silver!

This number is enough for these mud-legged people to work hard!

The battle heats up, and the city's rogues pour stones, wood, and gold juice down desperately.

Li Xinjian's troops were like chickens, as soon as the ladder reached the city wall, they began to climb up.

The faces of those military households were full of madness.

It's not that they're brave, it's just that the way back has been blocked, and whoever dares to retreat and run away, the knives of the Overseer are not a joke.

There is no way back, but to rush forward, at least there is hope of survival.

Yan Xiaoer was also shocked, didn't he say that the official army couldn't fight, why did this group of beggar-like troops all seem to die?

"Ignition!"

On the city wall, a lot of firewood and grass that had been drenched in hot oil were thrown down, and immediately after that, the people on the city wall began to set fire.

The oil-stained firewood and grass immediately burst into flames.

The soldiers besieging the city had to endure the burning of wood and stones, and some of them could not support it, and fell down from the ladder, breaking their bones and tendons.

A soldier fell directly into the pile of firewood and grass, and his body immediately caught fire, and he squeaked and screamed as it burned.

"Pour hot oil!"

A few strong men lifted a pot of boiling hot oil and poured it down.

Scorna –

The hot oil poured on a military household, and immediately a puff of green smoke came out, and the skin and flesh opened, and the military household fell from the ladder screaming, his eyes were already burned, and his head was full of blisters.

"Shoot the arrows!"

After Li Xinjian's archers rested, they shot arrows again.

The screams of the rogues on the castle tower came and went, one of the rogues carrying the gold juice was shot in the arm, and the other was unstable, and the iron pot filled with the gold juice rolled away.

The pungent smell and dull color of the golden juice splashed everywhere at once, and the nearby rogues were in chaos to avoid it.

There are agile people in the military household, and they jump on the city, but what they face him is a sharpened spear.

This military household turned in, and immediately waved the waist knife in his hand, but the other party's rogue was already ready to attack, and a few spears stabbed over, and the military household waved the knife to separate the two shots, but the remaining spears directly stabbed into his lower abdomen and thigh.

The military household screamed in pain, "Lao Tzu hacked you to death!" ”

However, the waist knife in his hand was too short, but Liukou's spear was more than two zhang long, and he couldn't cut the other party at all.

Several rogues pushed their spears together and pushed the military household down from the city wall.

The soldier fell from the wall, and with a muffled pop, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, his mouth was wide open, and the world in his eyes gradually turned gray.

Most of the thieves defending the city were led by old thieves, otherwise once the official army attacked the city, these inexperienced outcasts would collapse immediately.

"Someone's coming up here!"

"There's it too!"

Yan Xiaoer obviously didn't have enough knowledge of the combat effectiveness of this army, and thought that they were all old soldiers like the three major battalions in the capital that he had encountered before.

Li Xinjian didn't expect this rogue to be so tenacious.

It's not that he hasn't fought a rogue before, it's just a peasant who is about to collapse at the touch of a button.

In a short period of time, Li Xinjian's troops and the rogues defending the city suffered huge casualties.

Many of the military households who had already climbed the city wall were besieged by those rogues, and they began to jump under the city wall again, breaking their arms and legs, and they didn't care.

The rogues had the advantage in numbers, and the more they fought, the more fierce they became, even if they fought for the cost of killing and wounding a few people, they had to beat the rogues who rushed to the city wall.

Because the soldiers on both sides were not armoured, the weapon slashed into the body was a wound.

Li Xinjian's family supervision team kept driving to the city wall, but there were too many military households who fled down, even if it was the supervision team, they didn't dare to kill hard.

The first wave of the offensive ended in a draw.
