"You're desperate? You're so close to the face? If it explodes, half of your head will be gone!" Zhao Peng was not happy for killing a thief, but he was suddenly scolded. Zhao Peng turned his head and saw that the person who scolded him was still the one who just scolded him.

Zhao Peng searched a little about the memory left in his mind, and then he remembered that the man in front of him was Gao Wencai, a Jinyiwei Qianhu stationed in the imperial city. Gao Wencai defended Xuanwu Gate in his original time and space. After the city was broken, the whole family committed suicide by committing suicide. However, most of the senior officials of the Jinyiwei either surrendered to the rebel army or had long known where to go.

Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was missing, and probably had run away long ago. At this time, Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, had already shamelessly surrendered to the Chuangjun and became a shameless traitor. Not long afterwards, the Qing army entered the pass, and the Chuangjun retreated, and Luo Yangxing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became three ministers.

Due to Luo Yangxing's surrender, the remaining Jinyiwei suffered heavy losses, either surrendering to the Qing army or being captured and killed by the Qing army.

Zhao Peng, who only has half a bucket of water history, certainly would not know these things, and he didn't have time to think about it so much. At this time, he only knew how to reload and shoot mechanically. Every time the bird gun in his hand sounded, a thief fell in a pool of blood. He had just been scolded by Gao Wencai, and he no longer dared to aim his face at the target, but his head was away from the barrel of the gun, which could almost be said to be a shooting without aiming, but even so, he still wiped out a thief with one bullet. After firing about ten bullets, the barrel of the gun was very hot and could no longer shoot again.

So Zhao Peng picked up a pair of bows and arrows from the ground, pulled out the bow, and put on a heavy arrow. He loosened his fingers and shot a heavy arrow steadily. A scream came from the city. A thief without any armor protection covered the feather arrow inserted in his chest and slowly fell backwards.

Zhao Peng kept setting his bow and arrows, shooting out one feather arrow after another. Each arrow flew out, taking the life of a bandit soldier. However, after shooting more than twenty arrows in a row, he felt his arms were sore and it was difficult to pull the bowstring again. So he threw the bow and arrow, picked up the bird gun from a fallen Jinyiwei, and continued to load and shoot.

There were actually not many soldiers and horses at the Jinyiwei and the Imperial City Office at the top of the city. In addition, the armed eunuchs organized temporarily could not stop the large thieves approaching the city wall. Soon, simple ladders were set up on the top of the city, and groups of ragged bandits began to climb up the city ladder along the cloud ladder.

Zhao Peng, who was a soldier in his previous life, also knew a little about the ancient methods of defending the city. If there was a wolf tooth on the top of the city at this time, it would be very comfortable. The Yasha pole with long nails rolled down the ladder, and as soon as it rolled, a large number of siege people fell from the ladder; the wolf tooth pole hit the city down from the top of the city, it was like a string of candied haws and fell off the ladder. Moreover, these two weapons were tied to the winch with ropes. After being smashed, they could be pulled up and reused.

Unfortunately, there is neither yaksha nor wolf teeth on the top of the city, nor even the gray bottle to defend the city. After all, no one has been able to attack the imperial city yet until the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, there is a lot of hot gold juice on the top of the city and a lot of tincture oil tanks. There are many palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial city, plus the Jinyiwei and Yulin Army, you can get a lot of raw materials for producing gold juice every day. As for tincture oil, there are naturally a lot of tincture oil. On weekdays, the lamp oil used for lighting in the imperial city was collected and poured into the clay pot to make a tincture oil tank.

"Pour!" With a loud shout, the two eunuchs guarding the city scoop out a large spoonful of gold juice from a large pot with "scented fragrance" and poured it down the city.

"Ah!" A series of heart-wrenching screams came from the city. The hot gold juice poured on the refugees without any armor protection. The tattered clothes could not stop the nourishment of the gold juice. The hot gold juice penetrated into the flesh. The refugees who were climbing the ladder were blooming and screaming one after another, falling from the ladder. The city was filled with a strong stench of gold juice.

"Smash!" Another loud shout came from the city. Several eunuchs picked up the tinder oil tank, opened the lid, stuffed a piece of gauze into the can, lit the gauze and then smashed the tinder oil tank down the city.

With the crisp sound of the turbulent oil tank breaking, a "screaming" sound from the city, and countless refugees who were catching fire all over the fire were wailing heart-wrenchingly in the fire, dancing and making creepy screams, struggling in vain, and finally falling into the sea of ​​fire.

Even the refugees who jumped into the moat could not be spared. They were originally grilled by the fire and were subjected to heat and poison, and then jumped into the cold river water. They were hit by the cold air again, and the heat and poison attacked the heart and were soaked by cold water. Even if they could escape from the moat alive, they would die of serious illness in a few days.

The bows and arrows and bird guns in the hands of the thieves also shot violently at the top of the city. Raindrop-like arrows and projectiles flew up to the top of the city. Many soldiers and eunuchs who had just completed the attack at the city screamed and fell down. But the living people were still fighting hard. At this time, Zhao Peng didn't care about loading the bird guns, but picked up the tinder tank, ignited it and threw it into the city.

With the strong resistance of the defenders, the two rounds of attacks of the bandit army were repelled, and the city was filled with dead bodies and wounded soldiers. However, there were too many bandits, and the defenders at the city were seriously insufficient, so it was difficult to completely prevent the bandits from climbing to the city.

After fighting fiercely until dawn, he finally saw a thief's head emerging from the battlement of the city wall. Seeing that the thief was about to jump into the city, Zhao Peng picked up a spear from the ground and stabbed it out with a fierce spear.

The spearhead penetrated deeply into the eye sockets of the bandits. The powerful force pierced the skull of the bandits with the spearhead, and the bloody perseverance came out from the back of the bandits' head. Zhao Peng pulled it hard, and the spear pulled out with a blood arrow, and the bandits' body rolled down from the ladder.

Another thief jumped out of another battlement and jumped into the city. The thief soldier wore a light yellow felt hat and a big red cotton armor covered with bubble spikes. He looked obviously a surrendered Ming army soldier. The thief soldier held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. After jumping onto the city, he began to slash and kill the soldiers guarding the city frantically.

It is obvious that the great Han generals with silver-shaped gun tips are not fierce opponents of the thief army at all, and the armed eunuchs who were temporarily pulled over to defend the city were even worse. In a blink of an eye, the bandits cut down six people around, and the large groups of bandits behind were still climbing towards the city along the ladder.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Peng quickly stabbed the bandit with his spear.

The bandits blocked the spear's sting with their shields, and then rushed forward with force. Zhao Peng, who was holding the spear, couldn't stand firmly, and the spear could not pierce the shield. If the bandits were allowed to stick to their bodies, the spear of the hard pole would be even more useless. Zhao Peng had to throw the spear away and drew out the Xiuchun sword and slashed at the bandits.

The two fought together, and in a blink of an eye, they played more than ten moves without a winner. In fact, Zhao Peng's military power was far higher than that of the bandit soldier, but he had no shield on one hand. He was obviously at a disadvantage against the sword player. If he had a shield in his hand, it would be equivalent to the force value being doubled. He could not break the spear with a single sword, and the sword card could break the spear. The disadvantage of lacking a shield made Zhao Peng, whose martial power value was far higher than that of the bandit soldier, could not take the thief for a while.

Seeing that the thief behind was about to climb to the top of the city, at the critical moment, Gao Wencai rushed out from the side, a javelin flew out, and pierced into the bandits' neck.

The second bandit soldier had already jumped onto the top of the city. Zhao Peng threw down the Xiuchun Sword, picked up a long-handled axe from the ground of the city, and slashed it out with an axe.

The bandits blocked with shields, but the big axe cut the bandits and shields into two pieces like chopping firewood.

Several Jinyiwei came up, and with the cooperation of Zhao Peng and Gao Wencai, they blocked the bandits who were climbing the city behind.

"I finally got rid of the thief!" Zhao Peng breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could stop and breathe a sigh of fear, he heard a series of screams of horror under the city: "The city is broken! The city is broken!"

"The city is broken? How could it be?" Zhao Peng was shocked. The thief army had clearly not controlled the city wall yet. How could such a strong city fail like this?
