Chapter 366 Kicked to the iron plate

Chapter 36

The cavalry scouted in all directions to inquire about the news. At four o'clock, the dark gongs in Xin'an County made people panic, and the sleeping soldiers got up and climbed to the top of the city one after another.

Half an hour later, on the dark horizon in the north, a long dragon composed of torches quickly poured down the city. After a while, the open land in the north of Xin'an County became a sea of torches. Dark shadows stood under the torches one by one. When the sky was bright, the thieves launched a fierce attack without mercy.

The thief soldiers still took the usual raid. The experience of Lian Kexiong County and Rongcheng told them that there were only hundreds of county defenders, and there was no need to consider anything else. They drove away the strong men as cannon fodder for the first echelon, and the rest of the people and cats could be conquered by rushing behind. In less than an hour, Xin'an County can be held in their hands. .

The team attacking west was led by Liu Qi and Zhao Crazy. Zhao was brave and Liu Qi had many tricks. The two cooperated tacitly, which was also the reason why Liu Liu let these two men command the West Road Rebels. The two also lived up to expectations that less than 4,000 people in Liankexiong County and Rongcheng County surged to nearly 6,000 after capturing the two counties, which was only the result of catching strong men in the county. If they had enough time, they could sweep the towns and villages inside and outside the county one by one, and at least double their troops.

After capturing the two counties, not only the growth of people's hands, but also the level of military equipment. A few days after the incident, even when there were 4,000 people, there were only hundreds of people with blades in their hands. The rest of the people could only hold wooden sticks, grass, forks, kitchen knives, firewood knives and other simple blades, and there were only a dozen sets of armor. Fortunately, the Bazhou guards sent thousands of armor blades and dozens of war horses, but even so, at the time of division, Liu Qi and Zhao Yu had only 600 sets of armor blades, only a dozen horses, and the rest were still wearing ragged clothes and holding various weapons.

However, after breaking Xiong County and Rongcheng County, hundreds of sets of armor blades were looted, and hundreds of horses were also robbed. Dozens of large cars were also found in Xiong County's armory, which suddenly made Liu Qi and Zhao Qi's confidence rise sharply. More than 50 ox carts were piled up with grain and gold and silver to go south with the army. Some of them were rewarded. They won consecutive battles and morale. It's soaring and uncontrollable.

Along the way, if it hadn't been for the uncomfortable crying of the 2,000 strong men caught, Liu Qi and Zhao Yu would have been able to sing on horseback.

At this time, Emperor Zhang has disappeared. At this speed, after going south to sweep all counties and towns in Henan, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will reach. At that time, it will be easy to capture the big state capital. After that, it will drive the little emperor Zhengde off the throne, and then it will be a woman every day. Sleep casually, spend money casually, and be full of wine and meat.

Liu Qi and Zhao Yu did not pay attention to the Xin'an County on the south road at all. They led 3,000 people to attack the west wall and the north wall respectively, betting that whoever breaks through first will sleep with the most beautiful woman in the city.

At the beginning of the siege, the intelligent insurgent generals have summed up a routine from the limited experience of attacking the city. The cannon fodder captured by the pioneer rushed under the city wall carrying simple ladders and claw ropes. Once the low wall was hooked by the ladder with iron hooks and hooks hooked up the city head, victory was immediately. The purpose of these strong men who were driven away by the swindler's knives and guns is to absorb the bows and arrows of the officers and soldiers in the city, and arrange the ladders and grabs to attack the city, and then... Then they can go to die.

Next, things will be simple. It's only a matter of time to climb to the top of the city. The thin troops in these small counties can't be stopped at all. Once there is a breakthrough, it will be done.

However, this time, things became a little big. Liu Qi, who was responsible for attacking at the west gate, clearly saw only a few defenders at the head of the city in the morning fog of dawn. After ordering the cannon fodder to charge, he suddenly found that there were dense defenders on the wall. Then, the locust-like arrow rain poured down a nest. Come on, cannon fodder is a large number of people.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people in Xin'an County? Liu Qi opened his mouth and asked several temporarily promoted rebel generals around him.

"I don't know, it's impossible." The Rebel generals wore ill-fitting armor and shook their heads like rattles.

"Go to General Zhao and have a look. Are the defenders in the city concentrated on the west gate wall? This made the madman Zhao pick up a bargain. Liu Qi shouted.

A Rebel general flew to the north of the city. Before he could find Zhao Yu's figure, he first saw the cannon fodder hurriedly holding their heads and fleeing back, and then he saw the dense defenders of the city hidden in the pale blue sky.

Zhao came to Liu Qi's west gate anxiously. Their eyes were full of panic. Is it possible that the officers and soldiers have blocked the way south? Now there is nowhere to go. I regret that I should have been delayed for two days in Rongcheng County. It would be better if I went straight from Dawang Town to the south.

Liu Qi was still calm and asked Zhao Yu, "How many people are estimated to guard the city on your other side?"

"When there are thousands of people."

"I estimate that there are thousands of people on my side, that is to say, there are only 2,000 defenders in the city."

"Two thousand? How much do you know in the city? Brother, we have kicked to the hard bone. This is the main force of the officers and soldiers.

Liu Qi bit his lips and watched the cannon fodder turn upside down and be put down by the officers and soldiers at the head of the city. There were only dozens of ladders and ropes on the head of the city, which was not enough to attack the city at all. He was a little discouraged and was about to discuss with Zhao Yu to retreat and make a detour. Suddenly, the city shining in the morning sun shone. Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and suddenly However, he shouted, "No, madman, what kind of soldiers are those soldiers in the city?"

Zhao Yu squinted and saw that most of the soldiers on the top of the city were red and yellow, and their armor was extremely gorgeous, which was not the armor of the officers and soldiers of the guard at all. Next to them were two or three hundred county soldiers in gray rattan armor, and the rest were people who smashing down with stones with bare hands.

"That's the armor of the brocade guard. Damn it, the brocade guard helps defend the city? Where did so many brocade guards come from in this broken county?

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Crazy, do you still need to ask? It must be the people sent by the Baoding government. Have you seen that the people have been transferred to the city wall? It can be seen that there are no more soldiers and horses in the city. If you die, we will be rich.

Zhao Qi was stunned and said, "What's the wealth? They are about to be beaten into dogs. At this time, there are at least 500 casualties. Seventh Master, aren't you crazy?

Liu Qi contemptuously said, "You know a hammer. Jinyiwei's weapons are the best. I heard that they all have an embroidered spring knife, which can't be worn by ordinary people. Think about it. After we attack here, we stripped their armor, matched them with their embroidered spring knives, and rode their horses. How majestic it should be. I wanted to be a brocade guard when I was a child, but unfortunately There is no chance. I can wish for it this time."

Zhao Yu licked his lips and said, "I'm really moved when you say that. You're right. They are only a few people. We have 6,000 people, which consumes them, but the casualties are too great."

Liu Qi said, "Wounds? If you capture a few more counties, won't you come back? If you go back to your north, we will attack the city no matter what.

Zhao Yu promised to drive back to the north wall. Under the pressure of the governor's army composed of bandits, the repulsed rebels launched an attack again. A Rebel general led people to drive the cannon fodder forward. The two strong men were frightened by the arrows just shot down from the city and spread out on the ground and were still by the Rebel general. Ling did not hesitate to wield the knife and cut him to death on the spot. Once he started, he would be stabbed by the one who ran a little slowly, and everyone would be stabbed. Everyone was forced to advance and retreat.

If you rush forward or there is a way to live, if you don't rush, you will immediately die on the spot. The two harms are lesser than each other. Naturally, you have to rush forward and live for a while.

Driven by the big knife and spear, thousands of thieves rushed under the city wall. Thousands of scattered scattered soldiers covered the open space under the city. The defenders at the head of the city obviously did not have enough firepower. In addition, there were only a dozen arrows carried by each person. The warehouse of Xin'an County was slow to talk about arrows, and even a stone was not predicted. Although the brocade guard flag school tried their best to launch arrows, it finally made a large number of thieves pour under the city wall.

More than 100 simple ladders were put on the head of the city, and hundreds of grabs were thrown to the head of the city. The thieves shouted and climbed to the top of the city. If the wall less than two feet high is not disturbed, dozens of breaths can climb to the top. The situation is extremely critical.

The defenders at the head of the city could no longer shoot arrows. They had to cut off the ropes with knives to deal with the thief soldiers climbing on the ladder. They also had to guard against the shooting of sporadic thief soldiers and arrows. After a cup of tea, several places of the west wall and north wall were lost. Dozens of thieves climbed up on the top of the city and fought with the defenders.

Song Nan stood on the tower above the gate of the north city, and the cloak behind her was hunting in the wind. Instead of lifting the embroidered spring knife in her hand to participate in the battle, sheath of her income slowly, and her slender fingers put on the things around her waist.

Wang Yong, a thousand households in the Qinwei camp, came forward and whispered, "Your Excellency... can't stop it!"

Song Nan sighed and shouted, "Let's do it!"
