At night, the city of Hangzhou is like a ghost, the fires in many places have not been extinguished, half of the sky burned by the firelight is red, the smoke is billowing, the sky seems to be a little impatient, the layers of dark clouds do not see the starlight, and it is going to rain again.

Xiao Ming got the alarm, the rebels sent troops overnight to surround the iron factory, originally planned to run away, now can't run away, since you can't run away, then fight, Xiao Ming is not too worried, he is still a little confident in holding the iron factory, the reason is that the outer wall of the entire iron factory is more than one zhang high, all of which are built of refractory bricks of the turtle mountain kiln factory, and there is an arrow tower every other distance, the wall is laid according to three layers, and the wall can stand people, and the condescending guards can completely block a hundred.

The people of the iron factory knew in their hearts that they were now guarding their homeland, and if they were lost, the consequences would be serious, and the people who had suffered like purgatory for two days were also the backbone of the city.

In close combat, Xiao Ming believed in his physical strength, although the Demon Sect rebels were numerous, but the army was discouraged, they were still thinking about robbing and killing people again, then they could still fight, and they did not have any heavy equipment that could threaten the iron factory, and the safety of the iron factory could still be guaranteed in a short time.

I'm afraid that the other party will be stalked, Xiao Ming and they won't be able to get out, and they will be trapped and die inside after a long time, this is Xiao Ming's biggest headache now, if you want to save thousands of people in the city, it seems that you need to go through a huge sacrifice.

Looking at the large number of torches and lanterns outside, and the heads of the rebels densely packed high and low, Xiao Ming was estimating the opponent's attack method and rhythm, and he had to hit the opponent to the maximum extent in the weak link of the opponent's attack.

Sure enough, as Xiao Ming expected, the rebel attack began...... The shielded sergeants lined up in a row and slowly pressed forward, and the archers in the back row shot rockets into the sky to launch a projectile attack on the ironworks, and one after another rockets fell into the ironworks like meteors, igniting the houses and killing people.

The houses of the iron factory are basically made of yellow mud and blue bricks, and very little wood is used, which is supposed to focus on fire prevention, and only the craftsmen's quarters and sheds in the back row can be lit, but the personnel in this have been withdrawn, and the rebels' round of rocket attacks did not burn anything at all, and the wounded personnel are limited, and the tiger guards and Song troops inside the wall also began to counterattack, throwing a large number of bows and arrows at the rebel positions.

"Whoosh!" The rain of arrows in the air continued, and the two sides injured each other, but after the rebels' shield wall was pushed closer, the soldiers behind let out an earth-shattering shout of killing, poured out from behind the shield wall, and rushed towards the wall with a ladder.

At this time, the guards of the iron factory began to use crossbow arrows, and the black god crossbows all hit the first gear of rapid fire, three salvos, which has a new model made by Xiao Ming, and the device of the eccentric wheel is really too demanding on the material, so Xiao Ming created an accessory, a kind of square arched iron plate, which is installed in the crossbow arrowhead, so when the crossbow string is loaded, you can step on the crossbow head with your foot, which is convenient for rapid winding.

Dense crossbow arrows were sprinkled from the wall to the rebel charging team, the sound of arrows entering the flesh came and went, a large number of demon rebels were shot to death, and the front of the rush was only five or six meters in front of the wall, and they were shot down, the rebels were extremely poorly equipped, few of them wore armor stomachs, most of them were just thick winter clothes, and even if they wore armor stomachs at such a close distance, it was useless, so the rebels suffered heavy casualties, a thousand people charged, and four or five hundred people died at once, and the rest of the people retreated in panic and fled back to their own formation.

The leader of the rebel army shouted and cursed, and even raised his sword to cut people, which was the only way to contain the decline, and then mobilized more shield bearers to replenish it, set up a tortoiseshell-like formation in front, and then slowly pushed forward.

The number of casualties dropped sharply, the rebels' shields were extremely thick, and the crossbow arrows were nailed to the shields, but the personnel behind them were fine, only the arrow towers on the walls could shoot the people behind the shields at an angle.

Soon the rebels relied on the shield to move to the wall, and a fierce battle ensued, and the rebels tried to break down the wall with their weapons, but when they were frustrated, they turned to the gate, and the crowd crowded and pounded the gate of the ironworks.

The gate of the Chengxi Iron Factory is wrapped in a layer of iron sheet outside, and three thick square wood are used to make bolts inside, and there are generally iron chains around, but the rebels gather more and more people at the door, and they are actually using giant logs to hit the door, it is estimated that the door is broken in an instant, the tiger guards and the Song army have been on the wall and the rebels are in close combat, and the rebels are constantly cut down the wall, but there are more and more people who come up, and the crossbowmen under the wall are also involved in the battle, and they continue to shoot the rebels on the wall with bows and crossbows.

Suddenly, there was a "rattling sound of iron chains, the rebels who were banging on the door suddenly pounced, only to see that the gate was opening, couldn't help but be overjoyed, screamed and rushed to the door, the rebels behind did not know why, thought that the door was broken, and began to squeeze in, in a short time, a large number of rebels poured into the door, but saw that there were more than a dozen carts in the courtyard behind the door to form a semicircular defense, behind the spears like a forest, suddenly flattened at them, a large open space in front of the semicircular defensive position, now crowded with dense rebel soldiers, As soon as these people shouted to kill, they saw a black wooden barrel rolling in front of them, and the fuse on one side was still smoking......

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the improved "big grenade" was still terrifying, and the fireball directly formed devoured all the people above the clearing, and the sky was full of stumps and broken arms and incomplete human bodies, and a large smoking pit was left in the clearing.

The untouched rebels ran back like rabbits, "Oh no, run, Thor is powerful again!" The terrified rebels still remember the impression of a few days ago, and this kind of earth-shattering roar can make them remember it for a lifetime, "Master Thor always stands on their side, and he fights a fart fight!" Hurry home and be careful when you walk in the future, you may be struck by lightning! ”

The rebels at the gate poured in like a tide, and retreated like a convulsive, and the tiger guards poured out from behind the cart to quickly kill the remaining stupid rebels, and then closed the gate again, and even the rebels on the wall were shaken down and surrendered, and this wave of attacks was fought again.

After that, the rebels after a few hours of rest, but under pressure from above, had to attack, and then the rebels changed their offensive strategy, knowing that the other side had a big killing weapon, no longer focusing on a large-scale strong attack, but using elite raids, respectively, sent up several waves of death squads, also repelled by the iron factory, the two sides have killed and injured each other, and they have been holding each other.

The rebels seemed to be waiting for reinforcements, so they stopped attacking, and as dawn came, Xiao Ming's fears finally appeared, and the rebels of the brigade rushed to reinforce and brought catapults, and it seemed that the ironworks were about to be unable to be saved.

The situation is urgent, Xiao Ming summoned people to discuss countermeasures, if he sticks to the iron factory at the end, once the iron factory is breached, he has to arrange personnel to break through, and when the time comes, everyone will be scattered, each with people and people to break through, Xiao Ming arranged manpower, himself, Yang Zhen, Luo Wen, Gongsun Sheng, Su Bi Song Wu and others are among them, everyone is in a heavy mood, but there is no way.

Just now, there was news that the family of an old man surnamed Sun, who had withdrawn to the iron factory, knew that the iron factory would be lost in a while, and only the young and strong of the 20 or so people remained, and the rest of the old and weak, women and children all committed suicide, and they did not want to fall into the hands of the rebels again.

The tragic things stimulated Xiao Ming's nerves, and a deep sense of powerlessness enveloped him, he didn't want to see such things again, the career he worked hard for was collapsing in front of him, what was the point of everything?

Xiao Ming sat on the steps in pain, his heart was like a fire, he only felt that his mouth and tongue were dry, and a soft sigh came from behind him, Xiao Ming didn't dare to look back, he knew who it was, a slender figure sat next to him, handed him a water bottle, Xiao Ming took it silently, but did not speak.

"When I break through in a while, I'm going to follow you!" In the gloomy tone, there was firmness, and he continued without waiting for Xiao Ming to answer: "It's the same as the last time you saved me." ”

Xiao Ming turned his head and looked at Shen Bei'er, a smile appeared on his face, he was very moved, and secretly swore in his heart: "In the future, no matter what, we must have enough strength to protect those who should be protected, to protect such a beautiful woman in front of him, he is willing to pay any price for this!" ”

- The rebels' attack finally started at breakfast, the stone-throwing cart threw fireballs into the ironworks, the fireballs were all bundled together with incendiary materials, and poured fire oil, the huge fireballs smashed on the buildings in the ironworks, and immediately disintegrated and scattered, splashing wherever there was a sea of fire, in a moment, the ironworks were on fire everywhere, the smoke blinded the eyes, and the people kept coughing, and the ironworks finally burned, this time it was really ruined!

Xiao Ming stood on the wall with the tiger guards under the rain of arrows like locusts, constantly killing and injuring the rebels, while waiting for the last moment to come, once he couldn't stand it, he detonated the "big grenade" at the door and in front of the courtyard, and at the same time everyone was divided into several groups, and blasted a few gaps in the wall with powder kegs, and then led the people to break through.

This is really a tragic picture, the screaming people burned by the flames, the shouts of the rebels attacking, the roars of the tiger guards and the officers and soldiers are intertwined, and the sky is stained red with blood and smoke!

At this moment, the rebels' camp suddenly panicked, and the large group began to retreat, and they turned out to be like fleeing, ignoring the attacking companions, and there was a lot of noise, and a large number of people ran back.

This is simply a self-destructive result, the attacking soldiers are still willing to fight, turn around and run, and constantly people are shot down by crossbow arrows, regardless of it, leaving behind the weapons and armor all over the ground, siege equipment and a large number of corpses, and run away in a moment.

This scene made the people in the iron factory look stunned, what the hell is going on? Could it be that something is going on behind the rebels? Or is there another reason? All right! One way or another, the enemy retreated, defeated! We finally saved the ironworks, and everyone couldn't help but cheer, and many people left tears!

But the fire has now become a great threat, all the people mobilized to put out the fire, several wells lined up with people, but the fire is still a drop in the bucket, the rebels threw in the fireball almost burned the yellow clay wall on the outside of a blast furnace into a pottery wall, you can see how powerful the fire oil they poured in!

But God still helped, just when everyone was rushing to put out the fire, a muffled thunder came, and then it turned out to be "boom......! "It began to rain,

"Oh my God's eyes! Haha......!" The crowd was ecstatic!

The heavy rain washed away the smoke and bloodstains, and everyone finally extinguished the fire with the help of God, looking at the devastated iron factory and the anxious people, Xiao Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
