Countless soldiers were waiting at the head of the city in the heavy rain, and perhaps their opponents were sleeping peacefully in the camp on the opposite shore, but they did not move a single step.

Cheng Xiaolian and they tightened their nerves, every breath and moment was a test for them, their hearts were suffering greatly, and every breath of time seemed to make them question their hearts, whether this decision tonight would affect the overall situation of this battle.

At this moment, the soldiers under the city suddenly shouted: "Enemy attack!" ”

In the heavy rain, this sound was quickly drowned, but for Cheng Xiaolian and them, it was like a heavenly sound, so the rapid war drums were immediately beaten, and the soldiers at the head of the city immediately cheered up, and then hundreds of soldiers went down to the water along the ropes at the head of the city.

Perhaps because of the rain, they felt that the river was much warmer than usual, and they lifted their spirits and swam towards the iron rope with their special short swords.

Geng Jingzhong's monk Zhixin is also miserable, since getting on the boat, it began to blow and rain, coupled with the turbulent water in the river, they were made of meat and vegetables, and finally found the right direction, the speed of the boat could not be raised, and they could only sway towards Qutang Pass.

By the time they reached the iron rope, they had already become a complete soup chicken, and the shout in the water made Geng Jingzhong's heart half cold.

The army of the Ming Dynasty on the opposite side was able to quickly send someone to check the situation in this situation, not to mention anything else, the general is definitely a soldier who can use soldiers, thinking of this, Geng Jingzhong suddenly had an idea, if he can really lay down Qutang Pass, he can take this general for his own use, if he can sincerely attach, he must be a good helper.

But at this time, there is no way back, if you go back like this, I am afraid that the morale will really plummet. Moreover, in this kind of weather, the artillery and lights of the defenders are all out of force, and this is the time of day in the battle, which must be grasped.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted loudly: "Kill into the pass, enter Sichuan and don't seal the knife!" ”

The meaning of this sentence is that as long as you enter Sichuan, you can grab anything you see and take it as your own, Geng Jingzhong has no way, if you take advantage of this opportunity to kill the pass, you have to slowly consume it with the people in the pass, and then you may not be able to consume whom. Besides, the land of the two lakes is not Fujian and Guangdong after all, even if they are willing to consume it, it is estimated that there is no place to get food.

When I came, I didn't think about it so much, thinking that I could kill them in Sichuan, who knew that a Qutang Pass would keep them out for so many days, and now the people of the two lakes have offended Guang, and it is not easy to change the image for a while.

When his soldiers heard that they would not seal the knife in Sichuan, their eyes were red, which proved that as long as they could enter the pass alive, future generations would not have to worry about eating, so they immediately began to desperately dismantle the iron cable.

There was thunder in the sky, blood was rolling in the water, Cheng Xiaolian stood on top of the city without an umbrella, in his words, since the soldiers were in the rain, he could also be in the rain.

He said this is not reckless, he has not been pampered since he was a child, he has been a servant in Zhufu for a long time, and with the army fighting in the south and the north, it can be said that his physical fitness is not bad compared to the average soldier, at this time the difference between holding an umbrella and not holding an umbrella is very big, from the fanatical eyes of the soldiers behind him, Yang Youcai saw a thing called trust.

The fierce battle in the water lasted for two hours, the sound of the rain became smaller, the battle below was not over, many corpses on the water surface had floated away with the river, and more than a dozen iron cables had been removed.

Geng Jingzhong's credit for a life in exchange for a rope was dismantled, the iron ropes in front of Geng Shang's coalition army were less than ten, and the corpses of Geng Shang's coalition army also floated past thousands of bodies, the soldiers in the water of the Daming Mountains and Rivers army were already a little tired, even if people don't move in the water and let you kill, it takes a lot of effort to kill so many people, and it will take a lot of fighting to kill.

Without the suppression of artillery and bows and arrows, the Geng Shang coalition army finally broke out with amazing combat effectiveness, and a soldier returned to the bottom of the pass: "Your Highness, the brothers are almost unable to hold on, they have already dismantled more than half of the iron cables." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Qin Yue: "Mingjin." ”

Their people can go down more, but if they go down to a few thousand people, in this water, once the enemy army is poisoned, let alone Qutang Pass, the city behind them can't hold it, so Cheng Xiaolian can only put down a few hundred people to fight.

Qin Yue also understood Cheng Xiaolian's worries: "Mingjin! ”

The soldiers in the water quickly withdrew, but they didn't suffer much damage, firstly, the ability of the Geng Shang coalition army in the water was not as great as theirs, and secondly, the mind of the Geng Shang coalition army was on dismantling the iron cable, and the mind of fighting with them was weak, so they naturally did not have much damage.

Some of these people could no longer climb the city wall, and they could only climb to the top of the city wall by being pulled by their comrades, and when they reached it, they immediately collapsed to the ground.

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Qin Yue: "Immediately find someone to help them go to rest, and let the Huotou Army prepare ginger soup, and everyone should drink it." ”

These people were helped down, Qin Yue beckoned, and another group of people came over: "Try your best to stop them from removing the iron cable." Remember, when you have three iron cables left, you can retreat with all your might, otherwise the ropes on the castle will be removed. ”

"Remembered." These soldiers knew that they would have to withdraw at that time, otherwise the ropes would be useless and the boats would swarm in, and with these ropes, they would be able to climb up directly.

Soon these people went down to the water again, towards the iron rope, Geng Shang coalition army side is not comfortable, they have not encountered such a tenacious enemy for a long time, since the three feudatories raised troops, according to the strategy of Geng Shang and the two families, they will never fight when they encounter the Manchu Eight Banners, they can run, and they will be beaten to death when they encounter the Han army, it has always been smooth sailing, which Cheng would have thought that he would encounter such a difficult bone in this kind of place.

Just as they were about to continue to dismantle the iron cables, another group of soldiers rushed up, and it could be seen that this was no longer the same batch as before, because they were all alive and vigorous, and it seemed that they were definitely in the desperate posture just now.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Geng Shang coalition army were a little worried, these people are simply here to fight desperately, the way of fighting is not fatal, even if they die, they have to bite off a piece of meat, although they can have countless gold and silver in Sichuan, but the premise is to live to Sichuan, if they are killed here, what gold and silver treasures do they say.

Everyone involuntarily took a step back, and this retreat was half a sigh of relief, and everyone had the intention of retreating in their hearts, and some people even thought that maybe they couldn't enter Sichuan at all.
