In the early morning of the eighth day of October, the sun rises in the east, the wall and foot outside the city of Xintai, a golden wild chrysanthemum swaying in the cold wind, the blood stains left on the wall in the fierce battle yesterday have dried and turned into pieces of black and brown spots, and the iron spear shot by the bed crossbow is still firmly nailed to the city wall.

Knock knock knock......

The sound of thick war drums sounded, and the Ming army rushed out of the camp like a tide, and stone throwers, bed crossbows, siege vehicles, artillery, and arrow towers were slowly pushed to the front of the battle......

"Siege!" With the commander of Huang Qi's sword, the artillery of the Ming army roared and sprayed flames, the tipping bucket of the stone thrower drew a terrifying arc, and dozens of hundreds of pounds of boulders roared and flew up to the city, and then released its terrifying destructive power, wantonly harvesting human lives.

"Rush, kill!" The Ming army shouted and pounced on the city wall, like ants climbing with apes, and struggled to attack the city.

The thieves defending the city desperately threw stones down and poured hot oil, or shot arrows and stabbed them with long bamboo spears, in short, they did everything possible to knock down the Ming troops who climbed up.

More than a dozen arrow towers were pushed to the vicinity of the city wall by the Ming army, each arrow tower carried thirty archers, the arrow tower was very high, higher than the head of the city, those archers stood on the arrow tower and condescendingly shot the thieves on the head of the city.

The archers of the thieves on the tower of the city began to fight back, and the archers of the Ming army shot at each other, but seeing the rain of arrows, the thieves were constantly shot, and the archers continued to fall from the arrow tower......

Boom......

The artillery of the Ming army aimed at the city gate and bombarded it, and the solid bullets blew up the heavy city gate into potholes, but it could not blow it up, and the thieves had completely sealed the city gate from the inside, and the sacks filled with sand and gravel were nearly ten meters thick.

The fierce battle lasted for almost an hour, and finally the Ming army with a siege vehicle landed on the top of the city, leading the hundred households to lead more than 20 brothers to fight bloodily, holding the defense line to the death, covering the Ming army behind to enter the city.

The commander made Huang Qi overjoyed when he saw this, and ordered the archers on the arrow tower to focus on covering this small group to kill the Ming army at the head of the city, and personally beat the war drums.

Knock knock knock......

In the agitated war drums, the Ming army broke out a wave of rapid offensive, and the Ming army continued to successfully climb the city, gradually, more and more Ming troops climbed to the top of the city, and the offensive and defensive battles turned into face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, and the battle became more tragic, and there were constantly severed limbs and stumps falling from the city......

In the Chinese army camp of the Ming army, the dragon flag of the Xuanhuang regiment representing Qincha was waving in the wind, and next to it was a slightly shorter banner with the word "Xu".

Under the banner, Xu Jin was wearing a cyan six-grade official uniform, standing on horseback calmly, five hundred brocade guards were clustered around, and there were two thousand Yanzhou guards in the battalion.

The five hundred cavalry led by Qi Jingtong were also in the camp at this moment, and there was no place for them in the siege battle.

Half an hour later, the head of the city has basically been occupied by the Ming army, and as far as the eye can see, the dense turns are all wearing mandarin duck battle jackets and wearing standard hats of the Ming army.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu Lu Song said happily: "Congratulations to Lord Xu, the overall situation has been decided." ”

It is said that Lu Song is the father of Lu Bing, who served as a staff in Xingwangfu before, and later entered Beijing from Long, and was named Jinyi Wei Qianhu, this time with Qin sent out of Beijing for disaster relief, he almost died in the previous flood that lacked embankment, and he disappeared for a while and came back alive, but he was a lucky guy, and Xiao Huai is still missing.

Xu Jin showed a relaxed smile on his face, the city has been occupied, and it is only a matter of time to take Xintai City, however, Xu Jin has a faint sense of unease, and it seems that he ...... It's a little too easy, and it takes less than half a day to grab the city.

Xu Jin pondered his deployment carefully, and asked himself if there was anything missing, or if he was too worried, Zhao Quan couldn't afford to invite you into the urn.

At this time, Huang Qi had already led the generals to the head of Xintai City, commanding the troops to pursue, and at the same time letting people clean up the sand and gravel blocking the city gate.

After these sacks of sand and gravel were emptied, the city gates, which had already been torn apart by artillery bombardment, collapsed, and the Ming troops outside the city immediately swarmed in, and at the same time, Anton Wei in the east of the city also attacked the city and started a street battle with the thieves.

"My lord, my subordinates have asked to fight!" Qi Jingtong rode his horse to Xu Jin and shouted for orders to fight, the city gate opened, and finally there was a place for their cavalry.

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Quasi!" ”

Qi Jingtong immediately turned his horse's head, led five hundred cavalry to rush out of the barracks, entered from the city gate with high fighting spirit, and slashed in Xintai City.

Zhao Quan stood on the roof of a residential house, looking at the Ming cavalry rushing across the street, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he took out a firework and launched it into the sky.

Zhao Quan was waiting for this opportunity, the Ming army even sent cavalry, so the defense force around Xu Jin was the weakest, at this time, Senior Sister Xue rushed with three hundred cavalry, and the chance of killing Xu Jin was extremely high, and he also left a back hand, and Wang Tang's five thousand reinforcements are estimated to be coming......

Zhao Quan's plan is not bold, and it is very risky, first using Xintai City as bait to "deceive" most of the Ming army into the city, and then use surprise soldiers to "behead" Xu Jin.

If this plan can succeed and kill Xu Jin, Zhao Quan feels that even if he loses Xintai City, it will be worth it, and then the Ming army will inevitably be in chaos, and he can recover the losses with interest, and then drive south to occupy the rich Nanzhili region.

……

In a forest less than three miles north of Xintai City, hundreds of war horses were tethered under the trees, leisurely eating the surrounding leaves and weeds, while three big men were lying in the grass to rest.

Xue Bingxin held the long sword in her arms, leaned on the trunk of a tree and closed her eyes to recuperate, her long eyelashes drooping, and the sunlight leaking from the branches and leaves shone on her smooth and snow-white face, like a layer of enamel.

It is said that after Xue Bingxin led the team to quietly leave Laiwu City in the early hours of last night, she arrived at the north of Xintai City before dawn, but she has been lurking in this forest waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

"Commander Xue, a signal has been sent from the city!" A thief in charge of reconnaissance hurried into the woods to report it.

Xue Bingxin opened her eyes suddenly, and said coldly: "Get on the horse!" ”

"Get on your horse and get ready to attack!" Cavalry centurion Lei Jun shouted sharply.

The three hundred men immediately unreined and turned on their horses in a murderous manner, drawing their sabers in a cold light.

Xue Bingxin gave an order, and the three hundred horsemen immediately rushed out of the grove, killing the south of the city like a lightning speed, and the soldiers pointed directly at the banner of Qincha.

When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom.

Today is the eighth day of October, but the field is still full of golden wild chrysanthemums, which have been crushed into dust by the iron hooves of the horses...... Kill, kill, kill!
