When the bandits came five hundred steps away from the city wall, Ma Rufeng ordered: "Archer, let it go!"

Four hundred arrows came out of the string, and then the archers began to shoot arrows with their hands. Each person could shoot four or five arrows, and the bandits arrived at the city.

Zhu Hongsan saw that two thousand arrows had no effect on the bandits opposite the east gate. Just like a small splash, the gap formed by the fallen bandits was quickly filled by the people around him. No one paid attention to the situation beside them. They only knew that they could just run under the city wall.

Under the city wall is a three-meter-wide moat. The river water leads to the Xishui River. A large number of refugees went to the river to throw down the soil bags on their backs. Many refugees were shot to death by the river and fell into the river and became river-filled stones.

The population base of the bandits was too large, and the three-meter-wide moat was soon filled. They finally rushed to the city. They set up ladders under the city and began to attack the city with ants.

There is a broken dragon stone every 100 meters above the city wall. The broken dragon stone is made of a thousand kilograms of huge stones. The stone is cylindrical, probably similar to a large mill in rural areas. There is a hole in the middle, with an iron chain as thick as an egg, and a winch is connected to the iron chain. Ten people must push it down from the slide, and the slide is coated with butter to reduce friction.

After the Broken Dragon Stone fell, there was a crying cry from the father and mother. Ten soldiers were pushing the winch, slowly lifting the Broken Dragon Stone up, and then throwing it down again, repeatedly trying to kill the enemy.

Zhu Hongsan saw the broken dragon stone next to him rising red and white. The red one was blood, the white one was brain, and half of his head was stuck on it. Zhu Hongsan didn't care about watching the fun now, because someone came up from the ladder.

Zhu Hongsan shouted and prepared for battle, and rushed forward with both hands. As soon as the first enemy showed up, Zhu Hongsan cut off half of his head with one knife. The guy screamed and fell down, and took a few unlucky guys on the way. Then the second one came up. Zhu Hongsan cut off one of his legs with one knife. The guy lay on the city wall and shouted. The spearmen beside him came and shot him several times to end his life.

At this time, the bandits below rushed to the city and began to shoot at the city. Zhu Hongsan's team began to suffer casualties.

Zhu Hongsan leaned down at the squadron and looked down. He was covered with blackness under the city wall. A pot of boiled hot oil fell down on the city wall not far away, and the skin was burning and the flesh was blooming. The fragrance of meat came from the wind. Zhu Hongsan smelled the skin that his mother fried when she was a child, and it was this smell.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the bandits' team. Ten carts were less than 200 meters away from the city wall. This guy was the key target. Zhu Hongsan turned around and called Wang Xiaobao and shouted: "You bring ten people, no one will take five grenade bullets. When the cart goes in front of you, throw the grenade bullet in and you must blow it up."

Wang Xiaobao took people down to make arrangements. Zhu Hongsan continued to chop people.

Zhu Hongyi is now like a demon, driving his heavy mace, knocking on the enemy climbing up the city like a gopher, just like an old woman in the countryside is driving a rat that steals. Zhu Hongyi swings out his stick and two or three people fall off the city. Zhu Hongsan follows Zhu Hongyi, killing the fish that escapes from time to time.

At this moment, the cart came to the city wall. Zhu Hongsan took out the grenade bullet and shouted: "Be careful, open the springboard and throw it away." The soldiers next to him were waiting with the fire stick in one hand and the grenade bullet in the other.

The springboard was opened, and Zhu Hongsan immediately pointed the lead and threw it into the gap. Several soldiers next to him threw it out one after another, and a total of three grenade bombs were thrown into the car box. It was the time of the melee, and no one paid much attention to the grenade bomb. Five or six seconds later, the grenade bomb exploded, and the carriage was immediately exploded. The people inside screamed and fell down, either falling to death or being killed by the blown wood fork.

Zhu Hongsan's heart moved, thinking that he was just at this time to see the power of the grenade bullet. He took one from the soldier next to him, lit it and threw it down. Zhu Hongsan looked at the mercedes.

After a while, the grenade bomb exploded, and the dense crowd below immediately exploded into five or six meters of space, and the one who was not dead screamed. Zhu Hongsan nodded. It seemed that the power of the grenade bomb was quite good against the dense formation.

Zhu Hongsan looked up at the other nine cars. Five had been blown up, and four were leaning against the city wall. A large number of bandits rushed out from it. The walls around had been occupied.

Zhu Hongsan shouted: "Zhao Guodong, take people to take back the four places. Four carts were blown up."

Zhao Guodong shouted and led his people to the nearest place. This place was already very critical. More than 200 bandits rushed up, and more people were still climbing up. The officers and soldiers were forced into the corridor and were driven down from the city wall without reinforcements.

At this time, Zhao Guodong arrived and shouted, "Five grenade bullets." Five grenade bullets flew out from the side, and the huge explosion and shock waves shocked the bandits. Ten gunmen rushed up in rows, and used guns to suppress the bandits and jumped off the city wall. A large number of bandit bandits fell to pieces. More than 20 scattered soldiers were left, and were separated by the sword, shield soldiers and officers and soldiers who were rushing up. The car was also burned.

When Zhao Guodong saw that there was no problem in this place, he led people down to kill him. After seeing that the danger was lifted, Zhu Hongsan followed Zhu Hongyi to find a bargain.

In fact, the first wave of bandits looked at the large number of people but their combat effectiveness was not good, because these bandits were all farmers in the first half of the month, and they were all hoes in their hands. This time, they were only treated as cannon fodder by Luo Rucai, who used it to consume the city-defense materials of the official army.

The person in charge of the east gate was Luo Rucai's general, who was the one who was the border army of Shaanxi and Gansu. Later, the commander could not pay the food and pay, so he incited the soldiers to mutiny, killed the commander and then surrendered to Luo Rucai. After the eighty-nine years of war, he also became Luo Rucai's confidant.

He saw below that the cannon fodder troops had already attacked, and the battle was pretty good. He ordered the 10,000 old battalion distributed to him to be dispatched and he must take down the East Gate before noon.

The bandits in the Wan Lao Battalion are different from other cannon fodders. They are basically veterans who have fought for several years. In addition, they are well fed and have enough energy. After going out, they immediately howled and rushed up.

Zhu Hongsan felt the pressure suddenly increased. He didn't have much effort before, but now the bandits can actually fight him. You should know that Zhu Hongsan's people are all holding horizontal swords, and they will hit the bandits one by one.

As the battle was already noon, Zhu Hongsan looked up and looked around. There were more than 20 people around him, all fighting to fight against the bandits. Looking at the entire East Gate defense line in the distance, there were gaps everywhere. Now the battle has moved from the edge of the squadron to the corridor on the city wall. If this continues, there are too many enemies. Zhu Hongsan shouted: "All those with grenades can hear clearly, each person has three, and they will be rushed!"

This time, there were nearly a thousand grenade bombs thrown out. There was immediately a cloud of smoke on the city wall, and a large number of bandits were killed and injured. When Ma Rufeng and Zhao Guodong saw that they had the chance, they brought a counterattack and knocked the bandits down the wall.

Zhu Hongsan gasped and lay down on the top of the city to look down. The first wave of attacks retreated. There were dead bodies everywhere under the city walls, and some were still moaning below. Their own people also suffered heavy losses on the city walls. At the beginning, there were more than 200 people around him, but now there are less than 100 people, half of them are lost. Look at the same thing around him.

Zhu Hongsan thought that these bandits were so powerful, they were not much worse than the official army. Luo Rucai’s 300,000 people would have to unify the world directly like this.

Zhu Hongsan was surprised by the combat effectiveness of the bandits. The opponent was even more surprised. There were only more than 2,000 troops left by his 10,000 old battalion troops. Most of them were killed by the thunder of the sky on the city just now. When was the thunder of the sky in the official army so powerful?

Bomba Tiansheng was so angry that so many people were killed, mainly because the dead had not yet captured the city gate, and ordered the killing of two small leaders to be depressed. Just as he was about to issue an order to continue siege the city, Luo Rucai ordered people to send an order to stop siegeing the city first, and the loss was too great.

Seeing the bandits returning to the camp one after another, Zhu Hongsan knew that today was over. He sat on the ground for a while and organized the rescue of the wounded.

Zhu Hongsan himself was not injured, mainly because he was protected by Zhu Hongyi. Zhu Hongyi was not healed, his body was covered with blood, and the three layers of heavy armor on his body were already broken. However, because he was protected by armor, he was not injured in the vital area, and the main wounds were all on his limbs.

Fatty Qian didn't know where he got out of it. He was healed, not injured at all, probably because he was hiding there. Zhu Hongsan didn't want to bother with him.

At this time, Zhao Guodong and Ma Rufeng came over. Zhao Guodong said, "Sir, I just looked at our losses. Now there are less than 300 people who can stand, more than 200 wounded soldiers, less than 100 people who do not affect the activity, and more than 300 people have died."

Zhu Hongsan felt half of the casualties when he heard that he was suffering from casualties. He was half gone on the first day. He would have to finish the whole game tomorrow.

Ma Rufeng said: "The official army is even more miserable. There are still 500 left in two thousand people, most of which are injured. However, the bandits also suffered heavy casualties and more than 20,000 corpses under the city. The last one who came up was Luo Rucai's old camp elite. They also died a lot, more than us."

Zhu Hongsan asked: "How many grenade bullets are left?"

Zhao Guodong replied: "We bring five thousand with us, and there are more than two thousand five hundred left."

Zhu Hongsan nodded. The grenade was enough, but the manpower was not enough. At this moment, Tong Yangjia came up and saw Zhu Hongsan coming and said, "Lord is okay, are you?"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "How is it down there?"

Tong Yangjia said, "The south gate was almost broken. The two thousand households guarding the city were all killed in battle, and most of the officers and soldiers were injured. Now it is Jin Shenghuan's son guarding the south gate. The north gate is almost the same, and more than half of the five thousand people died. The lord's grenades gave them were used. I'm going to leave the remaining two thousand grenades. The Ximen is okay, no one attacked the city. In an emergency, Jin Shenghuan transferred five hundred defenders from the Ximen, and now there are only five hundred people left to guard the Ximen."

Zhu Hongsan said: "It's okay, as long as the city is not destroyed."
