Ahhh

In the urn city of the north city gate, the fierce shouting and killing and screaming have not ended, but the bandits who can stand have been reduced by more than half.

Tie Dan's eyes were indifferent, looking at the bandits fighting below.

At this time, these bandits were all red-eyed, and they were all desperately fighting, like a group of devils who came out of hell, this is the real outlaw.

In this situation, the cruel and ferocious side of these bandits has been completely stimulated, the weak have already been killed, and the rest are relatively powerful bandits.

"Xiao Liu, how many bandits are left?" Tie Dan asked a soldier next to him in a cold voice.

"There are almost 800 people left, and it is impossible to count the exact number of people." The sergeant replied.

Of course, he could only count an approximate number, for the bandits were killed every moment, and the number had been reduced to eight hundred.

"Lord Vice-Flag, do you need to make them stop?" The soldier asked.

"It's not even six hundred, just wait, don't worry." Tie Dan said casually.

Poof!

The old ghost hacked a bandit to death with a knife, and his whole body was already soaked in blood and stained red, and his face was hideous and terrifying.

The old ghost himself is quite martial arts, and he has followed Li Zicheng's rebellion over the years, and he has even escaped death several times, and he has extremely rich combat experience.

So far, all the bandits who dared to pounce on him have been killed by him.

Here, no one could make him believe, and he didn't dare to trust anyone, all he could believe was the knife in his hand.

He had already changed three knives in a row, and the first two knives were all because of slashing, and when he saw the blade curling, he couldn't use it, so he had to change it.

"Lord Deputy Flag General, the number of people is almost six hundred." The soldier said to the iron egg who closed his eyes and recuperated.

Tie Dan opened his eyes, looked at the urn city below, there was a small piece of people standing below, and there was another corpse, and said in a cold voice: "Shoot, let them stop." ”

Bang bang bang!

The musketeers of the White Dragon Army fired several shots into the sky, and the bandits who heard the gunshots immediately stopped fighting and looked up at the city wall.

At this time, the officers and soldiers on the city wall saw the bandits below, all of whom had a pair of red eyes and murderous eyes.

Some of the recruits were taken aback when they saw the look in these guys' eyes.

"This is a bunch of murderous soldiers, killing machines, good, good!" Seeing the fierce appearance of these bandits at this time, Tie Dan said with a laugh.

"Lord Deputy Banner, the count has been completed, and there are six hundred and eight people left."

"Very well, let them lay down their weapons and come up." Tie Dan said with a smile.

"Lord Deputy Bannerman, let these bandits come up, in case they ......," a White Dragon Army commander said worriedly.

"Haha, don't worry, they can't turn back, when they return to the bandits, they will only become the target of the public, Li Zicheng will not let them go, there is no place for them to stand there in the bandits.

They can only take refuge in us, and we can give them what Li Zicheng can't give them, these people can't just eat a bite.

Now, their way back is broken, and if they want to live, they can only serve us. Tie Dan said with a sneer.

"Okay, those who are still alive, put down their weapons and come up."

The white dragon sergeant shouted loudly to the more than 600 bandits alive below, and then led someone to sprinkle a bag of sand on the oily horse road and let these bandits come up.

The six hundred and eight bandits who survived, after hearing the shouts of the white dragon soldier at this time, their eyes were still cold and calm, and they did not have much joy.

One of them put down their weapons like clay sculptures, and then one by one, like walking corpses, they walked towards the city wall through the horse road.

When these bandits walked up to the city wall, hundreds of officers and soldiers pointed their flintlock pistols and bows and arrows at them, for fear that they would dare to make a move.

However, Tie Dan's face was calm, and his eyes looked at these fierce bandits, revealing his essence.

At this time, the White Dragon Army under Li Zixiao had an infantry army, a cavalry army, and a water army, in fact, the infantry army was the largest, with a total of four battalions: 'Vanguard', 'Tiger Ben', 'Iron Blood' and 'Trapped'.

And as the White Dragon Army controls the territory and expands day by day, Li Zixiao has been against his generals several times, revealing the intention of expanding the army.

This time, Li Zixiao even gave Qi Wei and recruited 2,000 recruits in Ruzhou City, which is an example.

You must know that Li Zixiao did give his generals a lot of power in some aspects, but in some aspects, he also formulated relatively strict rules and regulations.

For example, in terms of recruiting new soldiers, all generals led by the White Dragon Army are not allowed to recruit new soldiers privately, and all laws and regulations on recruiting new soldiers must be approved by Li Zixiao.

Moreover, all recruited recruits must go through the recruit battalion under the control of Wei Hong, and independently complete the training and assessment before they will be assigned to each battalion.

And this time, Li Zixiao bypassed the new barracks and gave Qi Wei the privilege of recruiting 2,000 recruits alone, which shows that Li Zixiao's idea of expanding the army is already very obvious.

And Tie Dan will inevitably join the infantry army in the future, and Li Zixiao may divide him into the four major infantry battalions.

But at this time, when Tie Dan saw these fierce bandits, a bold idea popped up in his heart, maybe he could bring out a new infantry battalion in the White Dragon Army!

As soon as the idea of Tie Dan came out, it was out of control, and instead of joining the other four major infantry battalions, it was better to bring out a battalion by himself.

And if you want Li Zixiao to agree to him to set up another battalion, you must have the characteristics of their battalion.

Like Liu Chong's good defense of 'trapped camp', Li Tianba's good battle of 'Tiger Ben Battalion', etc.

At this time, he thought in his heart that he might be able to use these bandits as a foundation to establish a new battalion that has always been fearless of death and as fierce as a wolf.

"The villain Li Huai, nicknamed 'Old Ghost', thank you for the general's grace not to kill, I am willing to follow the general from today onwards, I will become the sharpest blade in the general's hand."

After the old ghost saw the iron egg, he knelt down directly and said in a calm voice.

After hearing the old ghost's words, Tie Dan had a sneer on his face, he knew that the words of these fierce bandits could not be fully believed.

But at least at this time, the old ghost's propaganda to him is sincere, because he has no choice.

"Very well, old ghost, you will be glad that you can get lost and turn to the light, but there is one sentence you said wrong.

From now on, it is not me who you will be loyal to, but the general of my family, and you can be a knife in my hand if you want to.

But you must always remember that from now on, you will be a dog under my general, as long as you perform well, it is not impossible to be promoted to a knighthood in the future. ”

Tie Dan said coldly to the old ghost.

"Yes, the villain knows, I am willing to be a dog under General Li in the future, but I will only obey the general, and I will bite whoever the general asks me to bite!"

The old ghost said on his knees.

He understood his situation, killed Ma Tiancheng, and he couldn't go back to the bandits, so he could only take refuge in the White Dragon Army.

Since you want to be a dog for others, you must have the consciousness of being a dog to be a dog.

Hearing the old ghost's words, Tie Dan nodded with satisfaction, at least the old ghost in front of him is still more knowledgeable about current affairs, can see the situation clearly, and understands his own situation.

Tie Dan didn't expect this guy to be so loyal to him at this time, anyway, he was using these guys in the first place.

As long as they follow the White Dragon Army in the future and taste the sweetness, they will willingly serve the White Dragon Army.

In fact, in the hearts of these bandits, there is not much resistance to breaking away from the bandits and joining the official army, and there is even a trace of hope.

Do you think these bandits really want to rebel? But as long as they live, they will not rebel.

Although at this time, the people of all parts of the Ming Dynasty were living a miserable life, and they hated the court very much in their hearts.

But if they were given a choice between rebellion and being an official soldier, most of the people would still choose to be an official soldier.

Perhaps only heroes like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are unwilling to be subordinate to others and want to be superior.

At this time, Tie Dan saw that many of the more than 600 bandits behind him were injured, so he said: "Xiao Liu, take them down, wash them, and then let the medical soldiers bandage the wounds of the injured."

Then take them to a good meal, and then arrange a place to stay so that they can sleep well, and when they wake up, I will bring them to me. ”

"Thank you, General." The old ghost said respectfully.

………………………………………………

Just when the iron egg settled these situations in the north, and the other half, the battle at the south gate had already begun.

Qi Wei transferred more than 200 musketeers from the White Dragon Army, plus a group of officers and soldiers he selected from the city who could play with bird guns, and as soon as they were taught a little, they would use flintlock pistols.

At this time, there were more than 600 musketeers, all of whom were already in position in the arrow tower and the enemy tower, all holding their breath, waiting for Qi Wei's attack order.

On the city walls on both sides, there are more archers and pikemen, and the eight tiger squatting cannons have also been placed at the head of the city, and even several large boxes of iron-shelled mines have also been transported.

Outside the south gate of Ruzhou City, the bandits led by Li Guo thought that the south gate was quiet, and thought that it was a feint attack by Ma Tiancheng in the north city, which attracted the attention of the defenders in the city.

Everyone was snickering, carrying the staircase and climbing the wall, full of excitement.

Generally speaking, if you want to attack a city, you must have siege equipment, you need to have trench trucks, ladders, hitchhikers, and even half-cut boats, ramming cars and breaking city hammers.

Li Guo's camp also brought a group of craftsmen this time, including craftsmen recruited from the homeless people, as well as craftsmen who were coerced during the previous siege of the city and land.

In Li Zicheng's army, there is a specially set up artisan battalion, which is responsible for building various siege equipment for the army of thieves.

However, Li Guo thought that he was unprepared to attack it, and Ruzhou City was unprepared, so he only made a feint attack plan and temporarily made a batch of cloud ladders.

As for the other large siege equipment, he simply didn't have time to build it.

Looking at the bandits under his command, they had already stepped on a dozen wooden ladders erected on the trench, crossed the ditch, and gathered under the southern city wall.

And many bandits have begun to step on the ladder to climb the wall, and Li Guo's hand holding the handle of the knife is white due to excessive force.

He was completely excited, as long as he could really take Ruzhou City, this time Li Zicheng personally conquered Ruzhou, he would be a great hero.

The more than 2,000 bandits at the front had almost all crossed the trench at this time, and a large group of them gathered under the ladder, waiting to climb the wall.

It's just that there are too many bandits, but there are too few ladders available to them, so that under each ladder, there are a lot of bandits lined up at this time.

Chen Mingwu was wearing a copper foam nail cotton armor, with an eight-petal bright helmet on his head, and his strong figure, coupled with iron armor, made him look more powerful.

Chen Mingwu came to join the White Dragon Army when Li Zixiao returned from his northern expedition to Tatars last year.

Subsequently, with his excellent martial arts, he also knew how to write and hyphenation, and was appreciated by his superiors, and at this time he had been promoted to a military commander, and his subordinates were in charge of more than a dozen elite white dragon troops.

He had a pair of cowhide boots on his feet and two double-edged battle axes in his hands.

There is also a waist knife in his waist, a two-handed knife on his back, and a bow and a bag of arrows in one side.

The two axes in his hand have already been sharpened, this is a steel axe made of fine iron, sharp and incomparable, the axe is cut on both sides, each weighing five catties.

Such a heavy axe, ordinary people have to hold it in both hands, but he has one in one hand, which shows how strong he is.

Chen Mingwu is not only superb in martial arts, but also very good at archery, he was assigned to the 'Tiger Ben Battalion', and after staying in Ruzhou City, Qi Wei even formed an assault team.

Their thinking is very simple, that is, after the battle has begun, the crisis will be filled there, and those who need support will go there, and if the enemy attacks the city, they will drive it head-on.

It can be said that those who can be selected as commandos are all the elite of the elite, and they must rush to the front when attacking, and the defense must be replenished to the place where the enemy has the most at any time.

The twelve soldiers under Chen Mingwu were all carefully selected, all of them were strong in martial arts, brave and good at fighting.

"Captain Wu, the bandits are coming up, why don't you start fighting?"

At this time, a soldier next to Chen Mingwu sat on the ground with his back against the battlements, quietly waiting for orders.

Leaning against the battlements, they could clearly hear the sound of the ladder on the wall colliding with the city wall from time to time, which was the movement of the bandits stepping on the ladder and climbing the wall.

Listening to the voice, it became clearer and closer, and many white dragon soldiers also clenched the swords and guns in their hands.

"What's the hurry, there are so many bandits, and you will cut them down when they come."

Chen Mingwu licked his lips, he was not nervous about the upcoming battle, he was not afraid, only expectant.

Although killing a bandit at the moment, there is no reward of twenty taels of silver for killing a true Tartar as stipulated by the White Dragon Army last year.

After all, these bandits can't be compared with those elite Tartars, but they can kill more bandits, and there are also rewards.

And for officers like them, it is more important to accumulate merit, seniority, and honor, which is the main reference for their promotion in the future.

Fighting, he is eager to fight.

He desperately wanted to make a contribution, revive the lintel of his Chen family, and wash away the shame of his grandfather.
