The siege of the southern city was commanded by Liu Zongmin, and most of the thieves such as Li Guo, Hao Shaoqi, and Gao Yigong were ordered under their accounts, and they were commanding all departments to attack the city.

Seeing that the troops continue to climb the wall and fight desperately, the officers and soldiers are in a hurry, although they resist stubbornly, but for a time there is nothing to do, the firepower of both sides, the strength is equal, the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, at this time it has reached a critical juncture, if they can take the south gate in one go, Taiyuan City will be broken.

Like Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, as the commander of the southern city, sat in the rear of the battle, paying full attention to every move on the city, and his generals had already crossed the moat to the front of the battle to command the siege of the city.

So when Chang Yu's thousands of men and horses suddenly came from Yichun Gate, Liu Zongmin didn't notice it at all, and he didn't even notice the thieves who were attacking the city close at hand, how could all of a sudden the officers and soldiers kill him.

There are too many thieves!

Li Zicheng took the Yichun Gate of the East City and the Great South Gate of the South City as the main attack gates, so in this section of the city, there were dense thieves screaming like chicken blood, and they were not afraid of the huge stones and trees on the city to swarm the siege......

Chang Yu led thousands of cavalry, from Yichun Gate around the city wall along the moat to the west of the horse swinging a knife, slaughtering non-stop, but when he was about to reach the small south gate, he attracted Liu Zongmin's attention.

Sure enough, it was still a bystander, and Li Guo and the others in front of the battle didn't notice it.

"Whose man is that?" Liu Zongmin was shocked and yelled.

"It's an officer and soldier, right?" There were pro-soldiers around him who wondered.

"Fart"

Liu Zongmin roared angrily: "Where did the officers and soldiers come from, jumping down from the city, the heavy troops at the east gate are attacking the city, could it be that these officers and soldiers flew over their heads......

"General, general, officers and soldiers came out of the east gate, and King Chuang ordered the Zhenshan battalion to support ......" At this moment, Li Zicheng's herald arrived.

What the! Liu Zongmin lost his color, he was really an officer and soldier, how could the officers and soldiers suddenly come out......

He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it.

There are fifty or sixty thousand horses at the east gate, and Li Zicheng even ordered the Zhenshan battalion to support, which means that the situation remains critical, and there are already officers and soldiers killed here, so it is possible that Zhang Nai on the east gate can no longer withstand it.

Liu Zongmin suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, which was a particularly bad feeling.

"Quickly pass Li Guo, resist the people and horses at the small south gate, you ...... Go find Luo Hu...... : Liu Zongmin was a little panicked.

Seeing that the fierce battle in the city was in full swing and it was difficult to distinguish between them, suddenly the officers and soldiers went out of the city from the east gate, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

This is Zhou Yuji, the general leader of the officers and soldiers who are directing the counterattack in the city.

Zhou Yuji at this time on the west side of the small south gate to organize a counterattack on the thief army's covering firepower, seeing the fierce battle in the direction of the south gate, the thief army continued to climb the city, the situation was precarious, but for a time there was no other good way to retreat the enemy, can only as Chang Yu said, first counterattack the thief army's firepower from the flank, delay its attack on the city, and buy time for the officers and soldiers in the city to kill the thief army who have landed in the city.

And he believes that Chang Yu is in the town of the Great South Gate, with the belligerent virtue of killing gods, the thief army wants to take the Great South Gate soon, and there is no doubt that the two will reach the sky, as long as the two of them cooperate tacitly, one is hard to resist, one is a side attack, and a little time can solve the danger of the Great South Gate.

After all, the thief army has been attacking the city for more than an hour, and after several waves, it has long been exhausted, although it still looks fierce at this time, in fact, it has already been at the end of the crossbow, gritting his teeth and holding his last breath, once he can't take the city for a long time, his strength has been gone, and he will inevitably retreat.

Therefore, the officers and men only need to grit their teeth to resist this last wave of storms and rains, and victory can be seen.

The question is whether or not they can withstand the tsunami of the bandit army.

I really want to fight side by side with that kid, the thief army is falling into a stream, and seeing the fierce melee in the direction of the city head of the Great South Gate from afar, Zhou Yujiton feels arrogant, and his whole body is full of fighting spirit.

Suddenly, he inexplicably felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong for a while......

Killing sounds!

Zhou Yuji suddenly realized that the rhythm of the killing sound under the city was not right with before, and he was puzzled, so he walked quickly towards the city wall, raised his eyes, and suddenly looked stunned.

The sound of killing under the city shook the sky, and a group of men and horses came from the east to kill the thief army and rushed left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, the thief army fled for its life everywhere it went.

What kind of situation is this, seeing that the city is in chaos, Zhou Yuji also didn't react, and even thought, could it be that someone in the thief army is against the water, yes, it may be that the original army and general are against the water.

But it's unlikely to think about it.

Just in doubt, suddenly the soldiers around him shouted, pointing due east, Zhou Yuji looked up, and was startled, a large number of thieves fled in the southeast, and a large number of pursuers could be seen in the darkness......

Who can tell me what happened, let Zhou Yuji, who has always been as steady as Mount Tai, also hold his head with his hands and look confused and unable to calm down.

"Reinforcements, they must be reinforcements"

There are pro-soldiers.

Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? There are only a few thousands of people in Yanmen Pass? No way!

Reinforcements from Datong Province? Or which of the emperors of Beijing City sent a personal guard......

Zhou Yuji pounded his head vigorously, and he really couldn't figure it out.

"Lord General Soldier, it's Lord Factory Supervisor" A herald sent by Shi Sheng finally found Zhou Yuji!

Holy! Zhou Yuji immediately felt that the world was spinning, this dead eunuch ......

Immediately, Zhou Yuji lay on the wall, looking at the melee with anger on his face, trying to find the figure of the dead eunuch, but there was chaos below, and the torches flickered and dimmed, and the line of sight was not good, so he couldn't find the guy at all.

Daring! Daring!

Zhou Yuji gritted his teeth, Chang Yu's move really angered him, when the thief army attacked the city, he dared to open the city gate without permission, what a dangerous thing this is, this dead eunuch simply took the lives of 100,000 people in Taiyuan seriously!

"The factory governor together with Yang Zhenwei and He Chengxin, two generals, led four thousand cavalry to kill out from Yinghui Gate, and raided the thief army outside Yichun Gate from the side, the thief army was in chaos, and the general army should open the city and lead the troops to kill the enemy, and under the front and rear attacks, the thief army broke and fled......"

The herald made a long story short, but it made Zhou Yuji angry, angry, surprised and happy, angry that Chang Yu acted without authorization, angry that several generals were still wading into troubled waters with him, and even Ying Shisheng also participated, shocked that the soldiers were in danger, and happy that it was effective, and the Yichun Gate thief army broke and fled!

"General, look...... The thieves ......" the soldiers shouted again.

Zhou Yuji frowned and saw that the city was already in chaos, and Chang Yu's sharp blade had passed through the small south gate and went straight to the direction of the big south gate, causing panic everywhere he went, which made the offensive of the thief army stagnant.

What's more, behind this sharp blade, there is also a machete, a large corps that should be flourishing at the right time!

Ying Shisheng really didn't expect that such a fierce thief army during the siege of the city could suddenly be so vulnerable, and before his army could completely leave the city, those thief armies began to break and flee.

In fact, these thieves have already been exhausted after an hour of fierce battle, and when they saw the cavalry who suddenly came over, their shock was far greater than that of Zhou Yuji, and they couldn't understand what was going on, how could they have the heart to fight again, and when the army of Ying Shisheng was killed out of the city, there was only one word in his mind, escape!

The wind was high and the night was dark, and there were all the sounds of killing, these thieves had already lost their souls, so no matter how Zhang Nai tried to stabilize his position, he fell short in the end, and even before Luo Hu's Zhenshan battalion came to help, he was already defeated and fled in all directions.

Seeing that the thief army was like this, Ying Shisheng sent a group of men and horses to chase and kill Zhang Nai's deserters, and then personally led the main force to follow Chang Yu's sharp blade to the southern city.

It's just that when Chang Yu's sharp knife was not inserted into the Great South Gate, his progress was blocked, because at this time, not only Liu Zongmin behind the formation noticed him, but also Li Guo and other generals who were supervising the battle by the moat also discovered this mutation.

Of course, when they first found out, everyone was shocked in their hearts, but after all, they are all veterans of the battlefield, and they reacted as quickly as possible, that is, to intercept this team.

If this cavalry is allowed to kill under the Great South Gate, it will cause irreparable consequences to the thief army, and the results of the night will be in vain!

Li Guo was one of the few brave and resourceful generals in the thief army, and he was as surprised as everyone at first, but he quickly reacted that this group of men and horses came from the east, which meant that the east gate was ...... Then he looked eastward, and confirmed what he thought.

Officers and soldiers This is a risky move, but it is very effective, the only person who can dare to take such a risk is the dead eunuch, after all, with Zhou Yuji's steadyness, it is absolutely impossible to do such an unreasonable thing.

"Hao Yongzhong, go intercept that team, it's your old friend who is here, Luo Hu is going to support him" Li Guo yelled and began to send troops to surround Chang Yu.
