Although Ma Tiancheng didn't expect that there would be an urn city in Ruzhou City, this did not have a big impact on him, and now that he has gone to the city, he must act if there is an urn city or not.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if he has an urn city or not, you go and open the door." Ma Tiancheng whispered to his subordinates.

Everything went smoothly, Ma Tiancheng led people to successfully climb the Beicheng District of Ruzhou, led by fifty veteran bandits, with clean movements, to get rid of several officers and soldiers defending the city.

So that they were able to enter the first urn city smoothly, and several guards in the doorway were lying on the table and falling asleep.

They touched it lightly, and then with one move, they grabbed the guards by the throats, covered their mouths, and slashed their knives directly through their necks.

These guards of the city did not react at all, and they were killed in their sleep.

"Go and open the door."

Ma Tiancheng shook off the blood stains on the knife and whispered to his subordinates.

Several veteran bandits hurried over, operated the winch to lower the drawbridge, and then opened the north gate to let the rebels outside.

However, when those excited bandits rushed in, they were as angry as Ma Tiancheng, and they didn't have a chance to rush into the city, because there was still a city gate inside.

Ma Tiancheng had no choice but to take another fifty old bandits, turn into pioneers, and continue to walk along the passage on the city wall to the next urn city.

The remaining 3,000 bandits were all gathered in front of the first urn gate, waiting for Ma Tiancheng and the others to open the door.

More than 3,000 people stood in the small first urn city, crowded and unable to get through.

At this time, Qi Wei, who was in the arrow tower of the city gate of the second urn city, was staring closely at the infiltration of those bandits.

"General, the bandits have entered the first urn city."

A personal soldier ran to Qi Wei's side and whispered.

Qi Wei nodded calmly and said, "I know, don't worry." ”

Ma Tiancheng and these bandits never expected that not far from them at this time, there was an elite army of officers and soldiers in Weng City, waiting for the order to kill them at any time.

What war is, war is deceit.

Qi Wei stood in the gate tower of the second urn city, looking at it coldly, at this time, the first urn city was crowded by the bandits, and a trace of murder flashed in his eyes.

"Signal to the others that you're ready to act."

Qi Wei attaches great importance to these bandits and does not have the slightest contempt.

Although he caught the spy sent by Li Guo, he didn't know from the spy that Li Guo was going to attack from that city gate and feint from that city gate tonight.

This made Qi Wei have no choice, so he had to secretly arrange people and horses at the city gates on all sides.

Among them, he thought that the direction in which the bandits might attack was almost north, so he personally led his troops to the north gate.

Hearing Qi Wei's order, a personal soldier next to him was excited, lit the lantern, and then raised it and shook it towards the arrow tower at the north gate.

On the north gate tower of Ruzhou City, there is an arrow tower, but just now Ma Tiancheng was in a hurry to seize the city gate and let the bandits outside in, so as soon as he got on the city wall, he went down to the city gate.

After killing a few guards pretended to be death row prisoners, he hurriedly opened the door and released the bridge, and did not even send anyone to search the arrow tower.

In the four-story arrow tower of the north gate, Xu Lincheng leaned behind the arrow hole, staring at the arrow tower opposite without blinking.

"Lord Flag, it's on, the lantern is on." A soldier next to him shouted excitedly in a deep voice.

"I saw it too."

Xu Lincheng replied, then waved his hand and whispered to the soldiers behind him: "Go, put down the jack gate, hurry up." ”

Then, a team of white dragon soldiers in the arrow tower immediately walked down quickly and quietly.

The bandits didn't know that they had built an urn city behind the fort gate, and naturally they didn't know that every gate in Ruzhou City, except for the urn gate, the rest were set up with two gates.

In the city gate hole, the front section is an iron-clad wooden gate, and there is a hidden, heavier iron-clad wooden gate behind it, also known as the 'jack gate'.

This door is usually put away, relatively secret, and once it encounters the enemy, it can be put down, this door is straight down from the top, to put it away, very troublesome.

Once the 'gate' at the back falls, it is extremely difficult to rise, and it must be pulled by more than a dozen people to pull the winch to rise.

The design of this gate was more out of the need for counterattack, deliberately letting the enemy into the urn city at a critical time, and then lowering the gate to close the door and beat the dog.

"Haha, the enemy is in the urn, it's time for us to come out, and we're going to close the door and fight the dog."

A White Dragon Army captain said excitedly.

There was a loud bang, and the gate had fallen.

The hundreds of bandits were also startled when they heard the sound behind them, and when they turned their heads to look, they found that they had all become turtles in the urn.

"Ready!"

At this time, Xu Lincheng also took dozens of white dragon soldiers and soldiers to stand up from the arrow tower and shouted.

On this arrow tower, Qi Wei arranged more than sixty people, each of whom was equipped with flintlock pistols or bows and arrows.

Because these white dragon soldiers are not the soldiers of the professional musket battalion, they belong to the infantry army, but even these infantry soldiers of the white dragon army also know how to put their guns.

They also train how to use flintlock pistols when they train recruits, and the flintlock pistol is relatively simple to operate and easy to learn.

Of course, they could not compare with the musketeers in terms of rate of fire, ammunition loading, shooting accuracy, etc.

But at this time, in the face of the bandits densely packed in the urn city below, they didn't need to aim at all, they just put their guns down.

Of course, there are also more than 20 white dragon soldiers, who do not like to use flintlock pistols, but instead hold bows and arrows, ready to shoot arrows at the urn city below.

In this regard, Xu Lincheng did not have a hard requirement, his subordinates used it easily, let them use it, as long as it was convenient for them to kill the enemy.

At this time, Ma Tiancheng was walking towards the second urn city tower with fifty old bandits, preparing to open the damn second urn city gate.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind him, and he couldn't help but turn around, and soon in the urn city behind, there were panicked shouts from those bandits.

"The City Gate...... How the gates of the city were suddenly closed. The unknown bandits, screaming, a commotion.

"It's not a gate, it's a gate, there's another gate inside, and we're trapped."

"Oh no, it's a trap!"

Ma Tiancheng heard the shouts of the bandits behind him, changed color, and roared angrily.

At this moment, in front of the horse road leading to the city wall, suddenly a figure shook, and then a group of soldiers holding large shields had blocked the horse road that could be climbed up the city wall.

"Fire, fire!"

Ma Tiancheng was still in a daze, and there was already a shouting order from the White Dragon Army officer to 'fire and release arrows'.

Then there was a burst of projectiles, and the rain of arrows hit, and Ma Tiancheng hurriedly drew his sword.

But on that narrow road, even those arrows that were shot were difficult to dodge, not to mention that the projectiles fired by muskets could not be stopped at all.

In the blink of an eye, there were several old bandits around Ma Tiancheng, who were shot and fell.

It was Ma Tiancheng's life that was big enough, and there were several bandits in front of him, and he blocked two bullets for him, so that he didn't die.

Under the cover of the remaining dozens of veteran bandits, Ma Tiancheng blocked and retreated, and was finally driven off the horse road and forced back into the urn city.

"Big brother, we're in ambush." An old bandit soldier followed behind Ma Tiancheng and shouted anxiously.

Ma Tiancheng's face was ugly at this time, he didn't expect that he had experienced all the winds and waves, but today he capsized in this small gutter.

"Monkey, you take someone to find a way to raise the 'gate', and the rest of me will rush up to the city wall."

Although he was defeated, Ma Tiancheng did not admit defeat at this time, and he quickly thought of a way to break the game.

At this time, the only way out is to kill the horse road leading from the urn city to the city wall, as long as they can kill the city wall, they still have a chance to win.

In Ma Tiancheng's opinion, since they have already come in, how can they still stop them with just one horse road, although the horse road is defended, can it be as difficult to attack as the city wall?

As long as he leads people to charge to the death, he can kill the city wall again, and then he will let these officers and soldiers know what it means to steal chickens and rice.

"Big Tiger, bring someone with me and kill the horse road."

Ma Tiancheng shouted, and a group of bandits behind him responded in unison, the more critical they encountered, the more likely the rebels were to burst out of their fierce nature.

Qi Wei in the second urn city tower looked coldly at the chaotic bandits below at this time, and the corners of his mouth were full of disdain.

"General, the bandits are about to rush up."

"Hmph, I expected them to do this." Qi Wei raised his hand and said, "Pour the oil on fire." ”

A group of recruits had already pushed several large oil drums to the side of the road of the city wall, lifted the lid of the barrels, and began to pour barrels of fire oil onto the road.

The oil flowed down the stone steps of the road, one step at a time.

Ma Tiancheng took the lead in rushing up, but as soon as he rushed a few steps, his feet slipped, his body was unstable, and he fell into a, and the bandits behind him were similar.

A large amount of oil poured down, making the steps on the road already extremely slippery, and the oil was still leaking down, like a flood that burst the embankment, flowing into the first urn city.

"General, do you need to continue pouring oil, or do you need to ignite the fire?" A pro-soldier next to him asked Qi Wei.

"Don't pour out the oil or rush to light the fire, but let the brethren practice marksmanship and archery." Qi Wei sneered.

Following Qi Wei's order, the herald raised three red lanterns in the back.

In an instant, the soldiers on the city wall and the arrow tower rained down arrows, and many bandits gathered under the horse road were hit by arrows one after another.

Ma Tiancheng touched a handful of oil on the ground, and his face changed suddenly: "It's fire oil, go back." ”

Ma Tiancheng was taken aback, you must know that on the city wall above, many officers and soldiers are holding torches, if they throw a torch down.

The fire oil on the road will be ignited in an instant, and they will all be turned into roast suckling pigs.

Whoa!

Ma Tiancheng took hundreds of bandits, and soon retreated and was forced back to the urn city.

With only a little oil, the officers and soldiers cracked their plan to rush to the city wall.

At this time, Qi Wei looked at the three thousand bandits trapped in the urn city, and then saw that there was no trace of a single bandit outside the city.

Qi Wei knew that he had guessed wrong, the north gate was not the main direction of attack of the bandits.

"Tiedan, I will leave you five hundred soldiers and hand over this place to you.

The bandits are likely to attack at the other gates, I'm going to take the town, the overall situation is decided here, and I'm sure you can do it well. ”

Qi Wei said to Tie Dan.

"Don't worry, general, I'll leave it to me here." Tie Dan responded excitedly.

Tie Dan is Quartz's apprentice, and he has been following Li Zixiao before, acting as a guard, but before Quartz, he put Tie Dan and the monk down to practice, and has the heart to reuse them in the future.

After all, compared to this kind of guard who has been by his side for so long, Li Zixiao still trusts him very much.

Li Zixiao gave them a chance to experience a little, if they are really capable and can take charge of themselves in the future, it will be even better.

The monk was assigned to Xu Wei and stayed in Yiyang. And Tie Dan was assigned to Qi Wei's men and stationed in Ruzhou City.

Originally, Tie Dan was very depressed, the monk was left in Yiyang, at the forefront, there must be a chance to make meritorious contributions, and he was assigned to Ruzhou City, and it is estimated that he will not be able to fight at all.

But what made Tie Dan excited was that this bandit didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and came to attack Ruzhou City, and now Tie Dan didn't have a chance to make meritorious contributions.

Moreover, Qi Wei also understood Li Zixiao's intentions and intended to cultivate iron eggs, so of course Qi Wei had to give him a chance.

This time, it will also be the first time that Tie Dan has led the troops alone, although the basic situation of this battle has been decided, and the rest is just the end, but Tie Dan is still very happy.

"General, what should you do with these bandits?"

Just as Qi Wei was about to leave, Tie Dan asked.

"You're in charge of it yourself, you're the commander in charge here, but I'll just tell you, we don't have that many men to take prisoners.

Those who can use it for me stay, and those who can't use it for me don't need to exist. When Qi Wei said this, his tone was so cold that the surrounding soldiers trembled.

Since the last time Qi Wei talked to Li Zixiao, he has completely corrected his mentality.

He told himself in his heart that from now on, he was just a loyal general under Li Zixiao, a knife in Li Zixiao's hand.

He believed that Li Zixiao could lead them to build a great cause in this troubled era and recreate a peaceful and prosperous world, for which it was necessary to sacrifice. It has to be paid.

Just like Li Zixiao said, before dawn, it is always the darkest.

From that day on, Qi Wei felt less of a woman's kindness and more ruthlessness.

After hearing this, Tie Dan immediately shouted: "Yes, General, I understand, I will deal with it." ”

Then, Qi Wei left the north gate of the city and returned to the city in front of more than 1,000 officers and soldiers.

"Keep firing, shooting."

Tie Dan stood on the city wall, looking coldly at the bandits in the urn city below, who were being ruthlessly attacked.

In this urn city, there was no place for these bandits to hide, and in the face of the projectiles and arrows shot from above, the bandits fell one after another.

Tie Dan looked at the crowded, densely packed hundreds of bandits, his face was full of smiles, there was no slightest nervousness, there was no easier battle than this, it was even easier than the rake during training.

Musketeers and archers stood on tall turrets or walls, shooting at their targets through arrow holes.

After a burst of explosions and arrows, the smoke filled the air, and the bandits below also fell in large pieces.

"Raise your shield, raise your shield."

Although Ma Tiancheng kept shouting and raising his shield, it didn't have much effect.

These bandits were not originally good at frontal formations, they relied more on avoiding the real and relying on wandering operations.

And this time, they were going to sneak attack, and they didn't prepare many shields at all, but unfortunately it's too late to regret it now.

These bandits are now fleeing like a swarm of rats in the small urn city, but no matter how they escape, they can't escape.

And at all times, they had to face the fire of archers and musketeers in the arrow towers on both sides, as well as on the east and west walls.

Many of the bandits under the command of Ma Tiancheng are veteran bandits who have been in battle for a long time.

But today, their ferocity, their cruelty, can only be blocked by more ruthless walls, they are attacked by officers and soldiers at will, but they can't do anything back.

The roads on both sides of the urn city were empty at this time, but the bandits did not dare to rush forward, it was really the fire oil that scared them.

But if you continue to wait, you will still wait for death slowly, and there are some outlaws who can't help but rush towards the road.

"Throw torches." Seeing this scene, Tie Dan said coldly.

The soldiers on the city wall threw the lit torches into the horse road, and in an instant, the narrow road brightened up, and the fire oil suddenly burned.

And the dozen or so outlaws who rushed onto the road became a burning man inside, and a terrible scream sounded, but before a few screams, they fell into the fire, and soon became a charred corpse.

The raging flames on both sides reflected the panicked bandits in the urn city.

"Keep shooting." Iron Egg gives the order.

In the desperate screams, many bandits in the city could not bear the pressure of this death, and abandoned their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, but the iron eggs on the city wall were unmoved.

After a burst of gunfire and arrows, the sky above Beicheng was filled with a strong smell of whistle smoke and a strong smell of blood, and the two smells were mixed together, which was extremely unpleasant and even disgusting.

In the urn city, there have long been corpses full of ambushes, overlapping and overlapping.

Ma Tiancheng and the 3,000 bandits he led paid a heavy price for their underestimation and carelessness.

"Stop it all!"

After a while, Tie Dan raised his hand and asked the surrounding soldiers to stop shooting.

At this time, in the urn city, almost half of the 3,000 bandits had been killed or wounded, and those who were not dead hid under the corpses of the deceased to avoid shooting.

"Okay, the bandits below, listen, now I will give you a chance to live, but anyone who is still panting, let Lao Tzu stand up."

Iron Egg shouted.

However, in the urn city below, no bandits dared to stand up from under the corpse.

Tie Dan's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Okay, since you don't want this way of living, then Lao Tzu will send you on the road." Someone come, pour all the oil down. ”

"General, don't fall, don't fall! Let's step up. ”

As a result, as soon as the sound of the iron egg fell, a voice was heard below, and a bandit leader crawled out from under the corpse and shouted at the iron egg on the city wall.
