Wei Yan also frowned deeply when he heard Zhou Budo's words, these rebels had no formation discipline at all, and the defense of the west and south was also instinctive by the soldiers on both sides, while the east seemed to have been deliberately ordered not to allow defense.

In the rebel camp with a messy formation, this kind of subtlety is difficult to detect, and he almost concealed himself, but he did not escape Zhou Budo's eyes.

"They are waiting for Zhang Ren's army." Zhou Budo said affirmatively.

Zhang Ren did not travel thousands of miles to bring back the army, but as the first general in Yizhou, he was loyal to Liu Zhang, and it was impossible not to rescue Chengdu, nor could he not arouse the vigilance of the rebels.

Zhou Budo and Wei Yan were worried, originally the rebels of the Shi clan did not notice themselves, they should be the enemy and I am dark, but now I know that the Shi clan has reinforcements all the way, but they don't know where they come from at all, and they suddenly become the enemy and I am clear.

The inner city fell, and Zhou Budo had to attack, but that still couldn't avoid the threat of reinforcements from the rebels, and the rebel reinforcements were like ghosts, so that Zhou Budo and Wei Yanka were here, not daring to make any moves.

"The rebels are really hateful, Zhang Ren must be able to detect that the rebels have reinforcements, but they are still facing the same predicament as us, even if they bring the troops to Chengdu, they can only stare at the rebels attacking the city, if the rebels really attack the inner city, do we attack or not?"

Wei Yan was also embarrassed, attacking, the reinforcements came out, under the attack from both sides, his 8,000 miscellaneous army will be destroyed, if he doesn't attack, will he watch the inner city fall?

Zhou Budo wiped his face. The first time he encountered something that made him so embarrassed, he said for a long time: "General Wei, we have no choice, if the inner city is broken, we must attack." ”

The inner city is the key to this war, and all armies are centered on it, and whether they can put down the rebellion or not is in this move. Hold on, the situation in Yizhou will not deteriorate, and it will not be able to hold. The whole situation is collapsing, and if you give up the inner city in order to protect yourself, it is putting the cart before the horse.

What's more, isn't it just for Liu Xun's stupid wood to do so much?

If you want to die, you should die before him.

"Let's wait for a while, let's see how long the inner city can hold out, let's not move easily, the praying mantis catches cicadas. Now the three armies are trying to be yellow sparrows.

The rebels are in Ming. General Zhang Ren did not appear, but everyone knew that on the way to the arrival, the rebel reinforcements were guarding against Zhang Ren.

Now we are the only ones in the darkest places, and at the last minute, if the rebel reinforcements still don't show up, we will have to make a desperate bet. ”

Wei Yan nodded silently, his expression solemn.

……

On the fifth day, the soldiers of the inner city and all the young men, with tenacious perseverance and all means. Hold on to this moment.

However, this was already the limit, and there were less than a thousand of the five thousand soldiers left, and it was not even possible to assign two people to each battlement, and all of them were wounded, and most of the young and strong men had been lost, and these people had already held out for a day and a night without reserves, exhausted.

Seeing that the rebels were retreating again, everyone collapsed on the walls.

The women who cooked delivered food to the sergeants one by one, but everyone had a hunch that this was the last meal they had eaten, Huang Quan and Wang Fu had already gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person, Wang Fu was weak and was kicked down by the rebels, and now he still feels that his stomach is churning, and he has no appetite at all.

Huang Quan has some superficial martial arts, struggling to kill the enemy, injured in more than ten places, and his whole body is covered with bloodstains, last night because there were too few people, there was no preparation, everyone did not dare to be careless, and they all spent the night in the city.

Huang Quan held the sword, rested against the wall, the wound on his back was bleeding, stained with the stone wall behind him, and he didn't notice it when he slid down the wall, Wang Fu covered his stomach and walked over with difficulty.

"Lord Huang, the fifth day has arrived, Zhang Ren and Zhou Budo have not appeared, do we still have hope?"

Huang Quan shook his head with difficulty and smiled bitterly: "Now that we are waiting, can we have any other choice than to repay the ancestor with death?" As long as the rebels attack, let's go to heaven to see the Lord. ”

Wang Fu bowed his head in frustration, and glanced at the distance again, Huang Yue took Liu Xun to lean against the city, the two of them had not left here for several days and nights, and they rested in the Tibetan Soldier Cave at night.

Huang Yue was eight months pregnant, Huang Quan and Wang Fu were worried about her safety and wanted to persuade her to leave, but Huang Yue did not listen, and Huang Quan and Wang Fu were not easy to persuade again.

Every time the rebels attacked, Huang Yue took Liu Xun to stand silently at the head of the city, and the soldiers saw that the pregnant Huang Yue and the young lord were not afraid of death, and they all fought with all their might, which is the real reason why the inner city can hold on to the present.

However, manpower is sometimes poor, and at this time, it is really a dead end.

"We can die, but the young lord can't." After being silent for a long time, Wang Fu suddenly said in a positive voice.

"Most of the foundation left by the lord is still there, and we can't give up completely because of the fall of Chengdu, as long as the young lord is here, Huang Yueying, Fa Zheng, Wu Ban, etc. can still be twisted into a rope, can avenge us, and can continue the great cause of the lord, otherwise, a plate of scattered sand, our efforts in the past two years will be in vain."

Wang Fu said, his face was full of sadness, thinking back on the past two years, it was his busiest, and he was the most proud of the two years, although he was the busiest county order in the world, but it was not the most fulfilling county order, this is not exactly what he was looking forward to for the benefit of the people?

Now seeing that all the efforts for the ordinary people have been in vain, how can Wang Fu not be heartbroken.

Huang Quan looked at Wang Fu for a while, and said quietly: "Lord Wang, do you want to do what Zhou Budo said?" ”

"Do we have a choice other than that?"

Huang Quan looked at Wang Fu fixedly, suddenly supported his body with his sword, and knelt down in front of Wang Fu, with a bang.

"Huang Quan thanked Lord Wang for his kindness on behalf of the first lord and the young lord, and I will tell the young lord that if he succeeds in revenge one day, Lord Wang will be the first person in the Meritorious Pavilion."

Huang Quan said and kowtowed to Wang Fu, Wang Fu hurriedly grabbed Huang Quan, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Huang, we are all people who want to be loyal to the Lord, what are you doing?" We are both former ministers of the first lord, and we are all drawn by the first lord, if Lord Huang has an heir, I believe Lord Huang will do the same. ”

Huang Quan looked at Wang Fu. Suddenly sadness came from it, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "How unfair the sky is, don't you see that the ancestor is the common people, and he has exhausted his efforts to help the Han people?" Why did he let the traitor succeed and not even give him five years of time? The British lord died young. Loyal and good, where is the way of heaven? ”

Huang Quan looked up to the sky and shouted, causing internal injuries. A mouthful of red blood spat out, and the surrounding soldiers all looked at Huang Quan silently, with the same grievances in their hearts.

This kind of grievance made them completely forget about life and death, and prepared to die for the next attack of the rebels.

"General Deng." Huang Quan summoned Deng Xian, who was covered in blood, and Wang Fu stood aside with a six-year-old child, whose innocent eyes looked at Liu Xun, who was the same age as him.

Huang Yue said to Liu Xun: "Xun'er, you go and comfort the soldiers for their injuries." ”

Liu Xun glanced at Huang Yue. Nodded and went.

After Liu Xun left. Huang Quan said to Deng Xian: "General Deng, you go and arrange to pile up firewood, grass and oil in the pastoral mansion, and the general will ......."

Huang Quan Senno sounded for a while, and finally felt that the words were stuck in his throat and couldn't come out: "Bring Huang Yue and Wang Hong in, and then you send a loyal and reliable person with good skills to hide with the young lord, if the city is broken." A fire burned down the pastoral house. ”

Huang Quan said the last sentence, his voice was low and resolute, he turned his head, his eyes were red, Huang Quan, who had never shed tears since he could remember, couldn't help but leave a tear.

Wang Fu and Huang Yue were expressionless.

Wang Fu's son Wang Hong understood Huang Quan's words at this time, and said loudly: "You want to burn me? Why, I don't want it, I don't want it. ”

"Daddy, they're going to burn me, you usually hurt Hong'er the most, you save me, Daddy, you save me." Wang Hong tugged at the corner of Wang Fu's clothes, and tears flowed down.

Listening to his son's cry, Wang Fu's heart was like a knife, but his face became more and more resolute, and he pushed Wang Hong to Deng Xian, and said in a straight voice: "Hong'er, listen, we are the lord's courtiers, the lord is in trouble, we should be loyal to death, we can't cry, we are not allowed to cry, do you hear it." ”

Wang Fu scolded loudly, and the more he scolded Wang Hong, the louder he cried: "But I don't want to die, I don't want to die, Daddy, I don't want to die." ”

"Drag it away." Wang Fu shouted to Deng Xian, listening to his son's cry, Wang Fu lay on the wall, cried bitterly, his eyes were black, and he fainted to the ground.

Huang Yue stroked his stomach and silently followed Deng Xian, only by burning him to death with Wang Hong could he paralyze the rebels and let Liu Xun escape.

For the sake of her husband's great cause, what is it for herself and the child in her womb?

"Child, my mother is sorry for you." Huang Yue's tears flowed down.

All the loyal and brave men in the inner city were all listed at the head of the city, and some officials who were still in the attic, Wang Ti Qin Mi also came out, picked up the weapons of the dead soldiers on the ground, and prepared to meet the last attack of the rebels.

The rebels attacked again, and the resoluteness of the soldiers on the city wall made the rebels palpitate, and at this moment, the city wall suddenly became white, and countless gold, silver and jewels were sprinkled, shining in the sun.

The rebels were suddenly red-eyed, and they went up to rob them, and the generals hurriedly restrained their troops and launched an attack on the inner city.

But this is also what Huang Quan and Wang Fu can do in the end, this is at most to slow down the siege of the rebels, and at the same time let the rebel soldiers pick up these jewels, which can also make it easier for Liu Xun to take revenge in the future.

And the inner city is still undefendable.

The rebels attacked the head of the inner city, the rebels were not aligned, and the defenders were so high that they could delay the battle, but the defenders were too few, and they were still broken through by the rebels everywhere.

Zhou Budo and Wei Yan looked at each other, and they both knew that this was the most critical moment, and if they didn't launch an attack at this time, they could only sit back and watch the inner city fall.

"Divide into two groups, one group to attack, one group to stay, wait for the rebel reinforcements to come out, and the remaining army will be killed." Zhou Budo said succinctly.

Wei Yan nodded, the eight thousand army was not much, if it was divided into two batches, it would definitely not be able to take the rebels' Chinese army, but now there is no other choice, and it can be delayed for a moment.

Just when Zhou Budo and Wei Yan divided their troops and were about to order the flag to be raised, suddenly a soldier came to report: "Report to Zhou Gongzi, General Wei, soldiers and horses are coming all the way to the east of the city, playing a banner, about 5,000 people, and there is a road of soldiers and horses chasing behind, there are nearly 10,000 people, and the two armies are killing in the city one after the other." ”

Wei Yan: "Zhang Ren? ”

Zhou Budo: "The rebels really have reinforcements. ”

The rebels besieged the inner city. The defense of the inner city was stubborn, Yin Yuan did not divide his troops to defend the city, Zhang Ren ignored the pursuers behind him, led the army to kill the rebels, and the army followed all the way behind.

Zhou did not suspect that Wei Yan looked from afar, and the rebels besieging the city withdrew from the battle under Yin Yuan's order. Facing Zhang Ren, the rebel reinforcements behind followed closely and surrounded Zhang Ren's army.

Zhang Ren didn't care. Take the lead and go straight to the city.

Zhou Budo knew Zhang Ren's thoughts, Zhang Ren wanted to lead the army into the inner city and enter the inner city for defense, this was no way.

Obviously, Zhang Ren also sensed that the rebels had reinforcements, and he was afraid that he had already arrived outside the city, but he did not move until the inner city was about to fall.

It was impossible to raid the rebels, and Zhang Ren had no choice but to retreat. Fight your way into the city. Strengthen the defense of the city, hoping to drag on a little longer.

"Now that the situation is clear, we can't have any scruples, General Wei, do your best and kill." Zhou Budo said coldly.

Wei Yan nodded, a blood-colored banner was raised high on the roof of the building, and craftsmen poured out from everywhere, killing the rebel Chinese army together. Wei Yan jumped from the second floor with a big knife and led the army to take the lead and kill the rebel army.

Zhou Budo rubbed his hands and watched the battle nervously.

He didn't expect the rebels to pop up so many people, the number of rebels reached 40,000, and Zhang Ren and his own army combined were only more than 10,000, and on one side there were craftsmen, and on the other side were local troops, which was not much stronger than the rebels, and this victory was really difficult to grasp.

"You have become a general, and the general will lead 30,000 horses to kill back, and you will be captured before you can tie your hands." Wei Yan shouted, carrying a big knife to kill the rebels, and the craftsmen also shouted.

As soon as the rebels saw Wei Yan, they were startled first, because they heard that Zhang Ren led 30,000 soldiers and horses to kill back, and Wei Yan's army emerged from various lanes and houses, and they didn't know the number, and the army was immediately in turmoil.

"Don't panic, don't panic, Wei Yan is lying, do you see clearly that these people look like an army? Zhang Ren's army was still thousands of miles away in the western grasslands. ”

Yin Yuan rode on his horse and shouted loudly.

Some people heard it clearly and reluctantly engaged in the battle, but many people who didn't want to rebel in the first place were suddenly at a loss, holding their weapons and looking around blankly, Wei Yan took advantage of this moment to kill Yin Yuan, the big knife slashed horizontally, and the heads were cut off one by one, like a broken bamboo, and they were about to kill the Chinese army, the surrounding rebels were frightened, and Yin Yuan was shocked.

Old Man Yan, who was sitting in the middle military vehicle, had been closing his eyes to recuperate, and at this time he also opened his eyes and shouted loudly to Yin Yuan: "Patriarch Yin, you go to the left flank, I will attract Wei Yan here, and the army will be handed over to you." ”

Yin Yuan glanced at Old Man Yan with emotion, slapped his horse and fled to the left wing, and at the same time as Yin Yuan fled, Old Man Yan, who was in his seventies, arched out of the car like a rabbit and fled to the right wing wrapped in the chaos.

Wei Yan quickly killed, and with a single sword, he flew away the Luo Gai car that Old Man Yan was riding, and the car rolled in the air a few times, and flew towards a bunch of rebels, and more than a dozen rebels were all knocked to the ground.

Wei Yan didn't stop, Yin Yuan rode on a horse, the goal was big, Wei Yan chased after him, all the way to the rebel soldiers, there was no enemy.

"Thief, where to go."

Wei Yan burst into a shout, and the big knife was thrown at Yin Yuan, hitting Yin Yuan's back, a knife passed through his chest and abdomen, Yin Yuan suddenly planted the horse, and Yin Bai, who was far away in the crowd, suddenly changed color, he had no intention of fighting, so he hid far away, and only rushed over when Wei Yan killed Yin Yuan.

But the rebels were suddenly attacked, and they were already panicked, and Yin Boka couldn't get through the crowd, and just more than ten meters away from Yin Yuan, he saw his father being pierced with a knife.

Yin Yuan's angry eyes did not turn to Wei Yan, but to the old man Yan who stepped on the war horse in the distance, he heard the shouts of the old man Yan, how the old man Yan betrayed his father He also saw it, Yin Bai's big fist squeaked.

"Did you see that? Wei Yan is only a few thousand people, not our opponents, everyone kill, glory and wealth are here in one move, kill. Old Man Yan roared on his horse, and the sound was like a bell.

"Kill Wei Yan and Zhang Ren, Feng Yizhou General, worship Chengdu Marquis, kill." The leader of the reinforcements of the rebels shouted.

The leader of the rebel reinforcements is the two brothers of Shangyong Taishou Shen Tan Shenyi, since Liu Zhang was released from Shangyong, the two brothers have lived at the foot of Mount Emei with many exiled people, relying on the property they brought from Shangyong, running a business, and hating Liu Zhang in their hearts.

As soon as Liu Zhang died this time, Shen Tan immediately decided to rebel, and there were many people who were exiled by Liu Zhang at the foot of Mount Emei, they all hated Liu Zhang, and when they heard that Liu Zhang was dead, they celebrated with their crowns, and under the call of Shen Tan, they used financial resources to buy a lot of people and unscrupulous people who were willing to serve, and gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Chengdu.

It takes a certain amount of time for Mount Emei to get to Chengdu, and it also takes a certain amount of time to organize the army, so it is impossible to participate in the initial siege, just as Yin Yuan and Old Man Yan are worried that Zhang Ren will gather troops and horses, Shen Tan Shenyi immediately delineated his own task, which is to intercept Zhang Ren.

It's just that Shen Tan Shenyi and Yan Old Man Yin Yuan didn't expect that there would be reinforcements from Zhou Budo and Wei Yan all the way, so they suffered a big loss, and at this time they came to their senses and immediately commanded tens of thousands of troops to turn around again and kill Wei Yan and Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren had already arrived at the city at this time, and originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to flank the rebels, but at this time, he saw that the rebels of about 20,000 had restored order, and the flanking attack was in vain, so he could only turn into the city.

At the head of the city, Huang Quan, Qin Mi, Wang Ti and others were overjoyed to see the two reinforcements arrive, but when they saw that the rebels still had the upper hand, they became worried, so they hurriedly opened the city gate and let the army enter the city.

Outside the city, Wei Yan was under pressure alone, with only a few thousand craftsmen behind him, dealing with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the momentum alone had already scared these craftsmen back, seeing that the army was unstable, Wei Yan was forced to order the withdrawal of the army.

The rebels were in hot pursuit, and at this moment, Yin Bai suddenly took more than a dozen people, followed the rebel torrent and approached Old Man Yan, and squeezed in front of Old Man Yan.

Old Man Yan had learned Yin Yuan's lesson, and had ordered the children of the Yan family to protect him firmly, Yin Bai couldn't get any closer, picked up his bow and arrow, and shot at Yin Yuan's white-bearded head. (To be continued.) )
