Chapter 131 The Death of Guard

But for these people, what is this? In order to go back to their own land in the jurisdiction of Xing Tianjun, and in order to have a full meal today, this life is so worthless. What's more, Xing Tianjun has a word first. If these exiles who have recently flooded into the territory of Xing Tianjun want to have a place to settle down, this time to help the war is the most At least, if you don't work hard, I'm sorry, you can go wherever you want, but if you work hard, you will eat meat. In this world, you can eat a mouthful of meat, even if it's worth dying. Therefore, no matter how the officers and soldiers in the city are shooting arrows, they can't stop these people from carrying a steady stream of people. All kinds of earth bags rushed to the trench and poured the earth into the trench.

Several rough and ugly trench bridges were pushed to the side of the trench by many people, pulling the thick hemp rope. The folded trench bridge immediately creaked up. No matter how the officers and soldiers in the city could not stop them, they could only hear a rumbling and muffled sound, and several trench bridges hit the city. On the trench, several wooden bridges were immediately built on the trench.

Then more people used it to pour the soil of the soil bags on the wooden bridge. The officers and soldiers wanted to ignite the trench bridge with rockets, but after laying this layer of soil, the rockets that fell one after another were extinguished.

The three-pound guns that were originally fired from a long distance were also pushed by the gunners of Xing Tianjun to the outside of the city wall. They directly raised the muzzle and aimed at several defenders' artillery furnishings on the head of the city and opened fire.

The defenders' guns just cast quickly became mute under the attack of the desperate gunners of the Xingtian Army, which frustrated the morale of the defenders again. In addition, rows of birds coming towards the wall for free, the defenders on the wall could hardly raise their heads.

Looking at the smooth progress of the war in front of him, the expression on Xiao Tianjian's face relaxed a little. After a long time of secret preparation, Xing Tianjun's current ability to attack the city can be said to have advanced rapidly. He has long been unable to look at the city and sigh as before. Although Ruzhou City is also a strong city, it is under his command of these tough generals. Under the organization, it is only a matter of time to capture it, and the resistance will and equipment quality of the defenders can now be said to have completely lagged behind his Xing Tianjun. If his Xing Tianjun can't take it in a city like this, then he and his generals should really find a piece of tofu and knock it down.

So when he saw this, Xiao Tianjian already knew that there would not be much suspense in the war. Just looking at when the defenders in the city collapsed, the battle would be over.

From the beginning of the war in the morning, each battalion continuously put its troops into the battlefield. In the afternoon, even the officers and soldiers of each battalion had the ability to replace the people in front of them for dinner. The defenders in the city were miserable. From the beginning, they were suppressed by the Xing Tianjun, which was still under the situation that they had an absolute advantage. He was still beaten unspeakably. Fortunately, He Zigang and other defenders were more or less bloody. Although they knew that they had no hope of winning this battle, they still repeatedly urged the soldiers to fight back, so that the defenders did not collapse on the spot.

When He Zigang led his troops to resist in the city until the afternoon, he even carried the 5,000 taels of silver he had already got directly to the wall and put it in front of the officers and soldiers on the spot. He vowed that as long as he killed a thief army, he would immediately rewarded ten taels of silver and cash it directly on the spot.

In this way, it brought a little morale, which made the officers and soldiers who had been soft and wanted to escape at any time more or less excited, which could block the attack of the Xing Tianjun.

But after all, this morale will not last long. After the Xing Tianjun made a little adjustment and launched another attack, the officers and soldiers lost a lot of interest in killing thieves and receiving rewards. Some people understand that although they tried to kill the enemy, it was clear that this battle was doomed to lose and received rewards. What's the use of gold? Instead, it makes trouble for himself. After the thief enters the city, he can kill them.

Seeing that the sun had turned west, Xiao Tianjian looked at the two armies that were still fighting fiercely on the city wall. Tietou sent a big chair and asked Xiao Tianjian to sit down to supervise the battle.

Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and said, "Take it away! The soldiers are fighting in blood. How can I sit and watch them sprinkle their blood! Today, the battalions are doing quite well. As soon as they cheer up, they will attack the city today. When the brothers attack the city, it will be too late for me to sit down again!"

After hearing Xiao Tianjian's words, the generals were even more excited. Everyone saw that the resistance of the defenders was getting weaker and weaker. Several of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army attacked the city, but they were barely blocked by the defenders. Everyone saw that the defenders were at the end of the crossbow at this time, so Li Shuanzhu and Luo Li When the generals asked to fight one after another, they would personally lead their troops to make a final attack on Ruzhou City.

"That's all! I could have seen that you guys were eager to have a try! Since you don't want to be in command, then go up!" Xiao Tianjian smiled and waved his hand.

The generals immediately cheered and roared one by one with their own guards. This attack can be said to be the most violent in a day. How could the battalions and generals not work hard when they saw that even their officers rushed up themselves?

So the Xingtian army were like tigers going down the mountain, roaring and rushing towards the city wall...

He Zigang gasped heavily. At this time, his voice was already hoarse. He could only roar when he opened his mouth. He could no longer make the kind of scolding in the morning. Looking at the bodies of the defenders all over the wall and the wounded soldiers lying in the pool of blood who had not died, He Zigang was bitterly Looking at the end outside the city, there was a sea of people outside the city under the sunset. The feathers on the helmet were shaking under the city, rushing towards Ruzhou City like a huge wave. He also knew that today's battle had come to an end.

He Zigang asked himself that he was not a greedy person who was afraid of death, but this thief army was really too strong. No matter how he supervised the war, the thief army always maintained a strong fighting spirit. After retreating, he quickly organized another group. He rushed to the wall fiercely one by one. He couldn't figure out why the thief army was so brave and difficult. Do they really don't take their lives?

Seeing more and more long ladders being put on the wall, many soldiers of the Xingtian Army held shields. Ants attached to these long ladders and climbed up crazily. He Zigang sighed, and finally threw away the waist knife that was already full of gaps in his hand and slowly sat on a pile of rubble.

Two injured men rushed up and held He Zigang and shouted to him, "Your excellency! Let's go! It can't be stopped! It really can't be stopped!"

He Zigang retreated the two families hard and said in a hoarse voice with a wry smile, "Is it true that Daming is really doomed? Why is this thief army so fierce? Who else in the world can stop them? Let's go! I, He, didn't give you glory and wealth. Go down and find a place to hide! If you have a good life, you can vote for the thief army. At least you can get rich! Let's go! Let's go!"

The two family hesitated, but they also knew that even if He Zigang wanted to leave now, he might not be able to leave, so both of them knelt down, kowtowed a few times to He Zigang heavily, and then turned around and rushed down the wall and fled towards the city.

He Zigang looked at the two men who had gone down to the city, struggled to stand up, picked up a knife from the ground, walked to the edge of the wall with a sad and angry face, raised his hands and shouted, "Come on! I, He Zigang, am here! Come all towards me!"

At this time, a fierce soldier of the Xingtian Army climbed up the wall from a ladder not far away, glanced at the officers and soldiers who were fleeing the wall one after another, and caught He Zigang who was not far from him. From He Zigang's armor, he recognized at a glance that this man must be the main general of the officer and the army, and the most important general. So with a ferocious smile on his face, he jumped up the wall, and the eagle rushed to He Zigang with a knife.

He Zigang was hoarse and roared and fought with the tough man of the Xingtian Army. He Nai, the tough man of the Xingtian Army, held a knife and a shield in one hand. Several times, he blocked his blade with a shield, and he was entangled with him. As more and more people from the Xingtian army rushed up to the wall, He Zigang was very He was soon surrounded by the men of the Xingtian Army. In a short time, he suffered many knife wounds, but He Zigang was still like a crazy tiger on the wall and rushed left and right to the soldiers of the Xingtian Army. He was a vicious tiger who couldn't hold back the wolves. After a moment, several long guns stabbed into his body, and his face was fierce. The cruel-expression of Xing Tianjun jumped up and waved a knife. He Zigang's movement suddenly stopped. A blood arrow spewed out from his throat, and his whole head slowly tilted over. This knife almost cut off his whole head, leaving only a layer of skin on the back of his neck still connected to his body...

Poor Zhao Tianci, who was still running around in the city and constantly urging the officers and soldiers on the other side of the city wall to go to the south of the city to support. In the end, he could not escape the end of being captured. Originally, when Zhao Tianci learned that the city was broken, he still wanted to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty and die with Ruzhou City, but when he held his trembling hand in his hand. When he was holding the Qingfeng sword, he couldn't get down and cut his neck. Finally, he watched the rushing Xingtian army surrounded him. Someone knocked off the sword in his hand and rushed up and tied him with a rope and put it down on the ground.

When the defenders in the city conquered the south gate of the city, the defenders in the city basically gave up their resistance. Some people opened the east gate of the city and fled out of the city. More of them were blocked in the city, knelt down by the roadside, abandoned their weapons and knelt down for surrender.
