"Kill!"
Roars, screams, the clashing of weapons, and the tearing of flesh and blood with blades, echoed back and forth on the Qing'an County Town city wall, irritating everyone's ears.
Whether it was the bandits who rushed up the city wall or the soldiers guarding the city wall, they were all caught up in a crazy fight.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Following a series of muffled sounds, several bandits flew out like kites with broken strings, blood spurting out from their mouths.
It was Ye Xiangming that knocked them away. The county magistrate was holding a Soaring Dragon Mace as thick as a child's arm. His body was covered in blood. It was hard to tell whether it belonged to the enemy or his own.
Suddenly, a strong figure silently rushed behind Ye Xiangming, holding a dagger in his hand and stabbing Earth Spike at his lower back like lightning.
At this moment, Ye Xiangming should have been fighting fiercely for a long time. His physical strength and internal strength have been severely consumed, and his reactions will inevitably become sluggish. When he senses danger, it is already too late to dodge.
call out!
At the critical moment, an arrow shot through the air and hit the attacker's right eye.
Through his head!
Ye Xiangming, who had narrowly escaped death, turned around and nodded towards Wang Chen who had saved him.
He didn't express his gratitude or anything because he was already numb.
The siege of Qing'an County Town by the army of rogue bandits has lasted for five full days. Wave after wave of bandits have repeatedly attacked the city wall, seemingly endlessly.
Today, under the city wall, there are a large number of corpses piled up densely.
Because the high temperature caused corruption, and the defenders poured a large amount of gold juice, the smell was extremely unpleasant.
Many thieves rushed over under the scorching sun, and when overwhelmed by the smell, they vomited bile on the spot!
The corpse of the stray thief actually consolidated the city defense of Qing'an County Town, which is a hellish joke.
However, although Qing'an County Town was still stable, the defenders also paid a heavy price, with nearly two thousand casualties.
The siege strategy used by the rogue army is actually very simple. In the early stage, cannon fodder is used to consume the materials used to defend the city, such as arrows, rolling stones, wood, gold juice, etc.
Then they continued to use cannon fodder to consume the physical strength and endurance of the defenders.
When the time is right, they will dispatch their elite forces to launch a strong attack and establish victory in one fell swoop.
Relying on this tactic, the rogue army has captured three counties, which can be said to be very effective.
Over the past few days, Qing'an County Town's defense force has been weakened a lot, the supplies of defense materials have plummeted, and people in the city are panicked, showing signs of instability.
However, the county magistrate Yu Heqian was responsible for recruiting materials and personnel in the city while stabilizing the situation, while the county magistrate Ye Xiangming clung to the city wall and led Garrison Army to repel the endless bandits.
The rogue army has been defeated many times in the past few days, and the two sides have reached a stalemate.
Woo~
The horn sounded, and the bandits who failed again retreated hastily.
What is surprising is that the rogue bandits did not send any more troops to continue attacking the city defense. Even the main camp retreated a mile back, and there seemed to be signs of waning.
But Ye Xiangming did not take it lightly. He took advantage of this rare opportunity to organize personnel to repair the city defense, treat the wounded and dispatch supplies, and was always ready to continue fighting to the death with the bandits.
When they arrived, a bandit carrying a white flag came out of the camp and walked all the way to the bottom of the city wall.
Ye Xiangming signaled the archer not to shoot and see what kind of medicine the opponent was selling in his gourd!
Just listen to this bandit shout loudly, "My king has a letter to send to County Magistrate Yu!"
He shouted three times in a row, and his voice was so loud that it was heard clearly by everyone inside and outside the city wall.
Ye Xiangming hesitated for a moment, then signaled a soldier to put down the bamboo basket and asked him to put the letter in the basket.
After the letter was hung up, Ye Xiangming held it in his hand but did not open it. He ordered in a deep voice, "Please quickly invite County Magistrate to come over to discuss important matters!"
He guessed that the rogue army wanted to negotiate peace with itself because it couldn't chew the bone of Qing'an County.
The matter is so big that Ye Xiangming dare not overstep his authority.
Yu Heqian rushed over after receiving the news, took the letter from Ye Xiangming and opened it in public.
After reading the contents of the letter, the county magistrate couldn't help but sneered, and then handed it back to Ye Xiangming for reading.
Ye Xiangming was speechless after seeing it, and gave it to Wang Chen again.
Because the content of this letter is related to Wang Chen!
This bandit army calls itself "Ping Tian Army", and its leader is "King Ping Tian" Li Zili. In his letter, he proposed a condition for peace talks to Yu Heqian.
That is, as long as Qing'an County sends the head of Wang Chen, Ping Tian Army will immediately evacuate the Qing'an County domain and guarantee that it will not intrude again in the future.
Wang Chen's head is the condition for retreating!
Yu Heqian sneered, "Only a three-year-old child would be fooled by this clumsy trick of killing people with a borrowed knife. This ordinary thief really treats me as a fool!"
After five days of fierce fighting, the rogue army failed to capture the city wall. In addition to the desperate resistance of the garrison soldiers, Wang Chen played an important role in it, and his contribution is obvious to all.
With a strong bow, Wang Chen killed hundreds of elite rogue bandits. He specialized in dealing with the leaders and masters of the rogue bandits, and the results were outstanding.
As long as Wang Chen and Ye Xiangming stand on the city wall, no matter how many bandits rush up, they will be beaten down!
That "King Ping Tian" Li Zili obviously hated Wang Chen, so he came up with this strategy to sow discord.
Yu Heqian said to Wang Chen, "Mister Wang, don't worry, the thieves' tricks will not succeed. As long as you guard Qing'an County, you will be the first to succeed!"
This County Magistrate used honorifics to Wang Chen.
Wang Chen smiled and nodded.
Ye Xiangming didn't say anything. He grabbed a longbow from the archer next to him, aimed an arrow at the famous thief waiting under the city, and released the bowstring without hesitation.
"Ah!"
Screams suddenly sounded.
This thief covered his ears and ran away with his head in his arms - his left ear was shot through by Ye Xiangming!
This is the best and most direct response.
As a result, the next morning, the enraged bandit army launched an unprecedented attack. Many sections of the city wall were in emergency. It was only thanks to Ye Xiangming and Wang Chen who rescued them back and forth that they withstood the enemy's offensive.
On this day, Qing'an County suffered over a thousand casualties!
However, Ping Tian Army, which suffered even greater losses, showed no sign of retreat. Instead, it pushed the camp two miles forward, assuming a posture of breaking the city at any cost.
The most troublesome thing is that the supplies for the defenders are basically at their lowest, especially arrows. Even if the craftsmen in Official Workshop work overtime Add Points, they cannot keep up with the consumption rate.
The population of the county is only tens of thousands, and the casualties have exceeded 3,000, and they are all soldiers and able-bodied people.
Although everyone is not in a state of isolation, the atmosphere in the city is becoming increasingly depressing.
People are even more panicked!
