First, the rebel siege was just a small fight.

No one wants to be the first bird, everyone is afraid of Li Xiuyuan, and at the same time, they are also testing the attitude of the Heavenly Palace.

Therefore, even if the garrison is weak, as long as the enemy does not want to take it, it is impossible to take it.

But now, the rebels are determined to take Jinling City this time, even though it is a weapon and poor armor, but relying on the advantage of a large number of people, as well as the invincible momentum of the self-rebellion, it is enough to make the defenders of Jinling City, who have been absent for a long time, tremble.

A rebel army attacked the city.

The soldiers, civil and military officials, and the people in Jinling City were all terrified.

The sound of shouting and killing under the city wall was endless, and all kinds of sounds were intertwined, shaking the sky.

In the midst of the battle, there was a sinister aura and blood qi rising to the sky, enveloping the sky over the entire Jinling City.

This kind of blood and evil qi is that the ghosts and gods must also retreat, otherwise they will be rushed by this blood and evil qi, and even the gods will be injured, and even fall into the mortal dust.

Yang Shang, who was in charge of defending the city, had already retreated to the yamen with the guards at this moment, away from the direction of the city wall, and the task of defending the city was handed over to the defenders here.

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the rebels had already begun to climb the city walls with all kinds of rudimentary siege ordnance.

The defenders retreated one after another, and they didn't even want to fight.

If it weren't for the fact that these defenders had no way to retreat, and inspired a little blood bravery, this city would not even need to be defended, and it could be handed over to others.

"Lord Qianhe, the rebels have already attacked the city wall, we can't stand it if we continue like this, let's retreat. An officer repelled several rebels, covered in blood, and shouted with a steel knife in hand.

Zuo Qianhu was armed with two knives and killed all the way above the city wall, and all the rebels everywhere fell to the ground screaming, either with their limbs cut off or their heads cut off.

"Kill~!"

Zuo Qianhu became more and more courageous, like an invincible general, one person made the thieves on the city wall frightened, and even gave up the plan to attack this city wall, and turned to attack another city wall.

"Ridiculous, as a military general, we should fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the court, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death? Even if we die, we have to defend the city and die, and now if we escape, isn't this an escape from the battle? If you want to leave, I will be the first to kill you. Zuo Qianhu shouted angrily, waved his double swords, and more than a dozen rebels fell on the city wall in an instant.

For a time, the nearby defenders won a great victory.

With a fierce presence like him, it is enough to cheer up the three armies.

But it's a pity that he is only a thousand households, he can't live in an official position, he can't manage many people, and he has no prestige, so he can only protect a section of the city wall, but not the entire city.

"Yes, kill the enemy with the adults. The officer gritted his teeth, followed behind Zuo Qianhu, and fought bloodily on the city wall.

Some people fought desperately, and some people thought they had escaped.

"Run, the thief army is strong, we can't beat it. "Some of the defenders, frightened, abandoned the walls and fled into the city.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan's mansion in the city.

Qingmei stood anxiously in the lobby at this time, asking about the situation outside: "Mr. Li Linfu, how is the situation outside, are the rebels coming to attack the city?"

In a dark corner, Li Linfu's figure appeared, his face was calm, and he stroked his beard and said: "Now that the connection with the outside has been severed, the thief army is besieging the city, such a momentum even the ghosts and gods have to retreat, and the ghost king in the mansion does not dare to act rashly, but, according to the current momentum, within an hour, Jinling City will be breached, and within two hours, the rebels can be seen outside the mansion." ”

"This, how can this be? My husband hasn't come back yet, if I don't do something, won't I lose my husband's trust?" Qingmei said.

"Madame, don't worry, Childe has already sent a letter to the ghost before, Childe's 8,000 cavalry has already set off, if everything goes well, he will dare to arrive before the rebels break the city. Li Linfu said.

He wasn't impatient.

Because some things depend on the number of days, and at this time any intrigue is of little use.

If the number of days is still there, Li Xiuyuan will naturally be able to arrive.

If it is the will of heaven and the city is ruined, then there is nothing to say.

"Madam, why don't you go out and help defend the city. Suddenly, Xing Shan, who was staying in the house at this time, couldn't sit still a little and arched his hand.

Li Linfu shook his head and said: "You are a rare marksman, at this moment, defending the city with the power of one person, it has little effect, and it is more important to stay in the house to protect the safety of the house, the war is chaotic, before the rebels do not attack, there must be people in the city who will take the opportunity to make trouble, there are few living people in the house, although we and other ghosts and gods can protect the mansion, but sometimes they must be restricted." ”

"Everything is still waiting for the good news of the son, when the son arrives with the troops, it will naturally be the time for you to go to the battlefield, you can rest assured, your skills will not be buried." ”

Hearing this, Xing Shan could only retreat and continue to wait tormentedly.

However, in the yamen.

Hearing the huge momentum of the rebels, the news of the rout that had already come from the front line one after another, made this Yang envoy sent by the imperial court a little collapsed at this moment.

"Report, Lord Yang, the thief army has attacked the city wall. ”

"Report, Lord Yang, the thief army has taken half of the urn city, and our army is withdrawing from the urn city. ”

"Report ......"

Admiral Yang turned pale with fright at the moment, and said tremblingly: "This, so fast? The walls of Jinling City are so tall, doesn't it mean that it won't be a problem to defend it for a year and a half?"

Several civil officials next to him were also frightened.

They didn't expect the tall and sturdy walls to be so fragile.

40,000 people defend a city, and it stands to reason that the enemy can defend the city even if he sends 400,000 people to attack the city, and it has only been a few hours.

But what they didn't know was that no matter how strong the city wall was, it had to be guarded by soldiers who dared to fight, and if they used some soldiers who fled from the wind, even if the city wall was ten times stronger, it would be captured.

What's more, there is no owner in the army, there is no commander in the city, and all the soldiers are scattered.

Envoy Yang is so greedy for life and afraid of death, and the people below naturally can't afford the courage to fight the enemy.

"My lord, the rebels are about to attack the city, what should we do now?" said a civil official with a trembling voice: "As soon as the rebels enter the city, we, the officials of the imperial court, will first be beheaded and sacrifice the flag." ”

"Yes, I don't need you to say it, of course the official knows, of course he knows. Envoy Yang was also very flustered and at a loss.

Suddenly, another civil official said cautiously: "Anyway, Jinling City will be breached sooner or later, why don't we surrender the city, maybe we can save our lives." ”

Surrender of the city?

Yang Shang's envoy trembled, and his eyes flickered.

Available outside the city.

"Chief, our men have already stormed the wall, but in an hour they will be able to enter the city and take the southern wall. A subordinate came to report.

Shi Hu rode on his horse and frowned at the siege that was progressing very smoothly, and felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

It was so smooth, and it made him feel suspicious.

"Where the hell did this Li Xiuyuan go? Do you really want to sit and watch Jinling City being breached? No, this is absolutely impossible, this Li Xiuyuan is an extremely difficult guy to deal with, he will never give up Jinling City and the Heavenly Immortal Palace to admit defeat, it's really unpleasant, where did this human saint come from so many strange skills, learning the immortal sword doesn't count, and he can't calculate where the position is. Shi Hu furrowed his brows, a little hesitant.

If Li Xiuyuan does not appear, the gods in the Heavenly Palace will not appear, and his plan to take the city and force the two sides to fight each other has failed.

Not only will you fail, but you will also be in danger in public.

Now he is the leader of the rebels on the side of the famous town, as long as he takes Jinling City, the purpose of the Heavenly Palace has been achieved, and when the time comes, whether it is the imperial court or the Heavenly Palace, will he be allowed to live?

Shi Hu knew very well that now he was just a pawn.

Although the scenery is immeasurable for a while, I already have a plan in my heart for the future.

The tiger's eyes swept away.

The defenders on the city wall are indeed retreating, many rebels have already attacked the city wall, and it is only a matter of time to take Jinling City.

"Order, slow down the siege speed, and let the other leaders take the lead in Jinling City first. Shi Hu thought for a while, so he could only slow down the move first, and then talk about it after a while.

He vaguely felt that before the city was broken, Li Xiuyuan would have a movement.

"Report, tell the chief, a senior official named Yang in Jinling City, with a group of civil and military, shouted that he was willing to go out of the city to surrender, and said that the leader should temporarily stop attacking. At that moment another subordinate came on horseback.

"Surrendered?"

Shi Hu's eyelids jumped, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something.

"Boom ......"

A rumbling roar, like a great river rolling, and like the thunder in the sky, came to this place.

Even though he was sitting on his horse, he felt a tremor coming from the ground.

And the sound is getting closer and louder.

He looked quickly, and immediately his eyes froze, but he saw a ray of golden light on the ground in the distance, shining like the first sun, illuminating the entire battlefield.

However, when Shi Hu saw it clearly, he saw that where the golden light was, it was actually a cavalry wearing golden armor, holding a spear and a treasure knife hanging from his waist, rolling and killing.

"Is it finally here....... Li Xiuyuan. ”

Shi Hu grinned, his whole body became excited, and he shouted: "Withdraw the troops, the enemy has reinforcements, all the troops are withdrawn." ”

"Haha, Lao Tzu is about to start watching the tiger fight, I don't believe that those immortals in the Heavenly Palace will look at the victory in hand at this moment, and are willing to withdraw, today's battle, Lao Tzu is happy to lose. ”

Then he raised his arms and began to withdraw quickly with his army.

"Knock! knock!"

The drums of the withdrawing army were heard, and the thieves who had already killed the city wall and were waiting to rush into the city to burn and loot were now suppressed.

The form is so good, why did you withdraw the troops?
