On the north gate tower, Yang Hu sat at the head of the town and ordered his soldiers and horses to give a fierce blow to the officers and soldiers who were actively carrying sandbags and pushing carts full of earth and stone to build a siege channel on the moat. Although the progress of the officers and soldiers was very fast, several wide earth and stone dams had already crossed the moat, the officers and soldiers also paid for it. At a considerable price, at least three or 400 officers and soldiers died under random arrows.

Yang Hu is not worried about the siege of the officers and soldiers. What if the officers and soldiers have set up the passage on the moat? I still have a large number of archers available, and there are enough people to roll wood and stones waiting for the officers and soldiers. Once the officers and soldiers officially attack, I will give them a huge surprise.

Yang Hu didn't care about the fire in several places in the city at all. It was just some hidden people who took advantage of the chaos to set fire to disturb the hearts of the army. These guys were obsessed with it. In the past few days, their men were searching for them and cut their heads in public after they were all captured.

But soon after, Yang Hu suddenly felt something was wrong. He stood at the head of the city and looked at the fire at the south gate of the city, and there was a faint roar. Although the distance was far away, Yang Hu could still distinguish the sound of firearms. Yang Hu also had firearms, and there were dozens of captured officers and soldiers, but all of them were arranged in On the walls of the west and north of the city. Guarding the south gate is his cousin Yang Xiong. Because the attack direction of the officers and soldiers is two places in the northwest, it is enough for Yang Xiong to guard the city with 3,000 soldiers and horses at the south gate, and he does not need any firearm assistance at all. Where did the roar of firearms come from now?

The puzzled Yang Hu immediately sent someone to check. In less than a cup of tea, he saw hundreds of people running from the south. Yang Hu saw the tall but clumsy figure of the leader and immediately recognized Yang Xiong and quickly ordered people to allow them to approach the north city wall.

Yang Hu poked his head down on the tower and shouted, "Yang Xiong, you are not stationed at the South Gate. What are you doing here?"

Yang Xiong was embarrassed and looked up and cried, "General, the south gate is broken."

"Ah?" Yang Hu almost fell down the tower. Seeing that the generals and soldiers near Zuo were listening with surprise and ears, he was afraid of causing panic and hurriedly shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. Come up and talk."

Yang Xiong also realized that shouting that the loss of the south gate would disturb the hearts of the army. He hurriedly climbed up the tower and entered the stone house of the tower. Yang Hu split his head and said, "What's going on?"

Yang Xiong said with a sad face: "I don't know where hundreds of officers and soldiers came out of the city, all holding powerful firearms. Before we could react, we were attacked on the wall."

Yang Hu was a little sure that there were only a few hundred officers and soldiers, and there was nothing serious about it. He shouted and scolded, "Fool, you have 3,000 people under you, so what if the firearms are powerful? You must be greedy and afraid of death. Besides, are you sure that those are officers and soldiers? The four cities are closed. Do they have wings to fly in?"

Yang Xiong hurriedly said, "It's indeed officers and soldiers. The leader claimed to be the commander of the officers and soldiers, called Song Nan; and they were more than a few hundred people. After occupying the city wall, they threw down thick ropes and led thousands of ambush soldiers under the city to climb up to the city. I really couldn't resist it, so I quickly came to deliver letters."

Yang Hu was shocked and said angrily, "You mean that thousands of officers and soldiers have entered the south gate?"

Yang Xiong nodded repeatedly.

Yang Hu gritted his teeth again and asked, "You are unable to stop hundreds of officers and soldiers? Do you still let them lead a large number of soldiers into the city?

Yang Xiong shouted, "I...I..."

Yang Hu kicked Yang Xiong and scolded angrily, "What do I want you to use?" After saying that, he reached out and pulled out the knife around his waist. He didn't wait for Yang Xiong to react. He cut Yang Xiong's face with a knife, and then cut down several knives in a row, blurring Yang Xiong's flesh and blood with his head and face.

The guards around him were so scared that Yang Hu dragged Yang Xiong's body out of the tower and shouted at the soldiers near to the left: "Yang Xiong lied about the military situation and left his post without permission. He was immediately executed by me. The south gate is as solid as gold, and the officers and soldiers also put wings..."

When he finished speaking, he only heard the sound of 'boom'. Everyone looked at it and saw thousands of people under black pressure on the north street under the city. The red armor and yellow helmets came down like gods down to earth one by one. Hundreds of people in front of them shot everywhere with firearms, and the soldiers under the city were bombarded with their heads and cried for their father and mother.

Yang Hu's heart was cold. He stretched out his feet and kicked Yang Xiong's body down the wall and shouted, "The archer is ready."

Half of the thieves aimed their bows and arrows and arrows at the inner side of the tower. The officers and soldiers in the city were also shrewd and did not approach. They only stopped outside the range of the bows and arrows. A tall officer came out of the crowd and shouted loudly, "Listen to the people in the city. The Ming Dynasty is here to suppress the thief governor, except for the heads of the thieves. People are pardoned for the crime of thieves. You need to immediately put down your sword and surrender to sincerity, but if you are obsessed with it, you will not be forgiven.

All the ten thousand thieves and soldiers in the city were tongue-tied and looked at each other. They could see the fear and strangeness in each other's eyes. Yang Hu shouted, "What are you doing? Do you believe what the officers and soldiers say? Ma San immediately killed them for me. Whoever dares to retreat and fear the enemy will kill them immediately.

A thief leader in the city responded loudly, urging thousands of thieves in the city gate to approach. The officers and soldiers in the front row aimed at the approaching thief soldiers and waited closely. One of the officers and soldiers slowly stepped out and raised his hands and shouted, "Yang Hu, the leader of the thief, come out to speak."

Yang Hu shouted at the top of the city, "Who the mother are you?"

The tall officer beside the man shouted, "Don't be presumptuous. This is Lord Song Nan and Song, the governor of the Ming Dynasty."

Everyone stared at this young man who was neither tall nor strong. Unexpectedly, this man was the commander-in-chief of the imperial court to suppress thieves, which was very different from the imagined majestic and fierce impression.

Yang Hu shouted, "What the mother's governor, a dog officer? If it hadn't been for you dog officials, how could we rebel?"

Hou Dabiao was about to scold. Song Nan waved his hand to stop him and said loudly, "Yang Hu, don't put gold on your face. Look at what you have done. Since the incident, it has been burning, killing, looting and raping * all the way is simply worse than beasts. It has harmed countless people. You still have the face to teach me a lesson."

Yang Hu sneered and said, "*, we are doing the way for heaven. The court forced the people to have no way to live. Naturally, we will rise."

Song Nan sneered and said, "Do you walk for heaven? You are just for your own selfish desires; there are indeed mistakes in the court policy, but it's not your turn to walk for heaven. You don't deserve it.

Yang Hu scolded angrily, "The dog official naturally speaks for the court. We are sworn enemies. It's better to have a big war."

Song Nan sneered and turned to the thief soldiers at the head of the city and said loudly, "Listen to the soldiers in the city. I know that you have been coerced into the army and can't help it. Unlike the real rebel thieves, I reiterated the attitude of the court for the last time. Except for the first evil, all the thieves will be forgiven. Don't blame. There are indeed mistakes in the court's policy, but the emperor has decreed to change the line. After extermination of the rebels, the court will benefit the people and divide the fields to reduce taxes. You no longer have to worry about losing your livelihood. I guarantee in the name of the governor of suppressing thieves, and I will never lose my words today, otherwise you can curse me Song Nan. But the ugly words are in the front, and they are still obsessed with following Yang Hu's chaos. They will never be tolerated by anti-thieves.

The soldiers were silent, but their hearts were ready to move, especially those whose families had been harmed but had to be trapped by thieves. They were even more determined to wait for the opportunity to turn against the water, and their eyes of others were strange.

How can Yang Hu not know the lethality of Song Nan's words? If the leaflets and shouts scattered into the city a few days ago were only in the hearts of most of the involuntary rebel soldiers under him, Song Nan's promise in person as an official will set off a storm.

"Kill them, kill them all, Ma Saner, what are you waiting for?" Yang Hu roared loudly, pulled a strong bow from a soldier beside him, and shot a quick arrow at Song Nan below.

Song Nan sneered and shouted, "A dog who doesn't repent when he dies." After saying that, he raised his hand and fired a shot, and the arrows flying from the air immediately fell to the ground. At the same time, Song Nan waved his hand, and the guards around him immediately shot more than a dozen flames and arrows into the sky.

The arrow dragging the tail of the flame rushed into the night sky with a harsh whistling sound. At the same time, more than a dozen arrows were shot from the officers and soldiers outside the city, which was a signal to launch an attack.

A cloud arrow, thousands of troops come to meet!

The shouts of the siege of the city sounded in an instant, and thousands of troops and horses rushed to the city like a tide. The 3,000 brocade guards led by Song Nan and Hou Dabiao in the city wall also launched an attack under the city, and the war started in an instant.

While Lu Wan launched an attack outside the North City, the siege outside the West City also began at the same time. Xu Tai's army surged. Qi Yanming, the leader of the city's leading thief soldiers, was commanding the defense. The inner side of the city gate was in chaos. Wang Yong led 2,000 Ti horses to kill in the air, which immediately made Qi Yanming dumbfounded.

The war is fierce and short. The thief soldiers are originally an irregular army, and there must be a clear gap between them and the regular army. At least 5,000 of the more than 15,000 thieves on the two walls are the coerced people. When the ladders of officers and soldiers outside the city leaned against the city wall and the soldiers flocked up to climb up, these coerced soldiers Then he began to turn against the water; Niu Dali took a group of soldiers who defected and said, and many thief soldiers took off their clothes and put them on, and followed Niu Dali to attack the thief soldiers.

Half an hour later, the city wall has been full of officers and soldiers and anti-go soldiers. The sporadic resistance on the city is still continuing. Some of the thieves are unwilling to surrender. They are a group of people who really want to rebel, and there are indeed a large number of people. This is the reason why the rebel army was able to be as powerful as a broken bamboo at the beginning, not because there was no mass foundation at all, but because they blindly strengthened their strength and dried up later, and also implemented a scorched earth policy for the people who did not support rebellion, which led to anger and resentment.
