Chapter 89 Out of the City

The siege of Ruyang County can be said to be lackluster, because the defenders basically do not have much advantage in morale, equipment and tactics. When Xing Tianjun came this time, he also carried several six-pound guns, which were enough to suppress the firepower of the defenders on the city wall. As soon as the two sides started the war, they suppressed the defenders. I can't raise my head.

Although there is a moat more than two feet wide in Ruyang County, and the river water is drawn from the North Ru River and poured into the moat, it has also caused some trouble for the siege of the Xingtian Army, but the good thing is that the Xingtian Army is now fully equipped, and full-time engineers are responsible for dealing with such things.

In addition, Xing Tianjun came very fast. Hundreds of civilians were arrested outside the city, and a group of more than 3,000 people were arrested along the way to help the battle. The gophers led the engineering company to command these people and the new battalion soldiers who accompanied the army. After a day and a half of intense construction, under the cover of the firearms of the two battalions, He buried several sections of the moat in the west of Ruyang County, and at the same time, he also cleared the deer fortress built by the defenders outside the city, paving the way for the siege.

Feng's guard in the city, who is responsible for directing and defending, is not too stupid. In order to delay the attack of the Xing Tianjun, he sent a small group of soldiers to attack the Xing Tianjun who tried to fill the moat, hoping to kill the civilian husband who helped the battle. However, Xing Tianjun had been prepared for his counterattack. During the construction of the people, each battalion sent firearms to cover them in turn. The defenders went out of the city several times to attack. Under the volley of the Xingtian firearms, it can be said that the whole army was destroyed. In this way, the defenders no longer dared to easily go out of the city to launch an assault. They could only release arrows from the wall to the city as much as possible, so as To stop the action of Xing Tianjun.

But now Xiao Tianjian will not be soft-hearted. Although he also sympathizes with these people and the exiles, he knows better what he is doing and why he is doing it, so he personally ordered to send soldiers to supervise the war. On the one hand, he uses food as **, so that the exiles bravely come forward to fill the moat and come back after doing well. If you drink the broth, there are big cakes to eat. If you are afraid to go forward, you will be served with a big stick. At the same time, you will not be served. In this way, the hungry and anxious people will not spare their lives for a piece of cake and a bowl of broth. Anyway, if you don't go up, you will starve to death, so they will work hard, one by one at a time. Ya, carrying a bag of earth and stone, rushed to the side of the moat and poured the earth and stone into the moat. Although there were many casualties, he finally completed the task given to them by the Xing Tianjun.

There was also a broken arrow on the shoulder of the second year of high school. He staggered all the way from the moat to the starting point. A soldier of the Xing Tianjun patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Good man! Well done! This is the food you deserve today. Take it and eat it! In addition, in the medical camp after the battle, someone will help you set up an arrow and treat your wounds!"

The sophomore in high school grinned with a red wooden stick from the hand of the Xing Tianjun soldier. This red wooden stick means that he can get two cakes and a bowl of broth with a piece of meat. He was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He couldn't even believe his ears and trembled against this. A soldier asked, "Is there anyone else to treat our wounds?"

"Of course! As for the help of our Xing Tianjun, our general said that he will never treat you badly. He will not only eat and drink well, and those who are injured will be healed! In the future, after our general takes down here, he will divide the fields and give you food and clothes. All those who have made great achievements in the battle will be treated preferentially in the future! Blessed are you!" The soldier replied to him with a smile on his face.

In the second year of high school, he seemed to be in the clouds and fog. He ran to the food distribution place in a daze. He exchanged wooden sticks for two cakes and a bowl of broth. While chewed it, he drank the broth like a wind and clouds. Finally, he carefully pulled the small piece of meat at the bottom of the bowl to his mouth, chewed it carefully and tasted it. With the smell of meat that I haven't tasted for many years, even the arrow wound on my shoulder didn't feel any pain. I looked in front of the array and muttered, "Is this true? ......”

Before he finished his words, he fell to the ground softly. Before he could swallow the meat in his mouth, he stopped breathing with his eyes wide open. Unfortunately, he no longer had a chance to wait for Xing Tianjun to divide the fields for him. The arrow finally made him shed blood and became a victim of this battle. .

Xiao Tianjian looked at the bodies of the esidated people who were carried down and buried. His face was cold. By this time, the dead were just a number in his eyes. Now, in order to achieve his goal, he will no longer care about the lives of these esquated people. Who let them live in this troubled world? What!

"Start to attack the city!" Seeing that a large section of the moat had been filled, Xiao Tianjian ordered coldly.

I only heard a passionate trumpet in the array. The soldiers who had been waiting impatiently outside the city immediately roared one by one, strode to the sound of the drums and rushed towards the city wall.

In an instant, there was a continuous sound of gunfire and the sound of fire outside the city. All kinds of shells and lead balls hit the wall like raindrops in an instant, cutting a row of the defenders at the mouth of the stack like rice, and then dozens of knives and long gunmen carrying long ladders swarmed across the moat. Long ladders were erected and put on the wall.

The west of Ruyang County immediately fell into the blood fire, and the shouting of killing resounded over the whole county...

Feng Shoubei was also loyal to the Ming Dynasty. He had been leading his troops on the most fierce city wall in the west of the city for three days. On the evening of the third day, the Xing Tianjun finally attacked the head of the city. At this time, all the will of the defenders was completely destroyed, and the defenders and the countryside on the wall Braves, in the face of the Xingtian soldiers who rushed to the city wall like wolves and tigers, instead of choosing to put down their weapons and surrender, they simply fled directly into the city. Feng Shoubei also made the last effort. After seeing more and more Xingtian's troops climbing the city wall, they finally gave up resistance and fled with several family members. In the city.

The remaining officers and soldiers and officials in the city carried soft and family members one after another and opened the east gate of the county. The tide gushed out of the county and wanted to escape from here. In the chaos, I don't know how many people were pushed to the ground and trampled to death in the doorway, and more people squeezed across the suspension bridge. He was squeezed into the cold moat water under the suspension bridge and drowned or froze to death in the moat.

Xing Tianjun's strong attack on Ruyang County this time did not firmly encircle Ruyang County, but adopted the strategy of besieging the city according to the old method. It only blocked the west gate, north and south gate of the county, but left the east gate to the defenders in the city.

And the defenders did not live up to the expectations of the Xingtian Army. After the siege began, the officials in the city squeezed into the east gate of the city. They only waited for the situation to escape once the situation was not good. Naturally, the defenders would not work hard for this. When the Xing Tian Army on the west gate just climbed the wall, many people lost their weapons and a swarm of bees. He fled to the east gate, and then the east gate was opened. The people in the city immediately leaked out of the city like a flood gate, and fled to the east of the city.

However, the siege does not mean that they will escape like this. After all, Xing Tianjun still has a cavalry team of hundreds of people in his hands. Situ Liang's cavalry has long been arranged in a forest five miles away from the east of the city, waiting for them to break out of the city.

Seeing that it was getting late, the east gate suddenly opened, and a large number of officials and defenders began to flock out of the east gate of the city. Situ Liang sneered, tightened the saddle of the war horse a few times, turned over and jumped on the war horse, and said, "Brothers, Ruyang City has been broken. These guys want to run away. Can you say it or not?

Hundreds of cavalrymen also jumped on the horse's back one after another, holding their weapons and shouting, "No..."

Then hundreds of people killed out of the forest like a torrent of steel and went straight to the defeated soldiers who escaped from the city.
