The army outside the city besieged the city so urgently that they even burned the lamp to fight at night. It was obvious that they were eager to break the city.

However, the more this happened, the more determined the troops in the city were to resist.

During the day today, not only did the great general Gao Yingzhi come to the city wall in person, but at dusk when it was the most dangerous time, even Gao Yingde's second son Gao Yingrui, who had just been on the throne for a few days, appeared on the city tower wearing a full set of crowns and asked the defenders on the spot.

The young officers and soldiers made a promise that after defeating the enemy, everyone would jump to three levels on the spot.

At the same time as the official was appointed, countless gold, silver and copper coins were carried up the city wall in baskets and arranged like a hill. The reward for killing a soldier was as much as the reward for killing a general. The reward was for holding the guard for a day. The price was clearly stated and no one was deceived.

Anyway, the Gao Group in the city is not short of money now. The treasury has been accumulated for many years. This time, so many powerful families have been confiscated. For powerful people like the Dong family and the Bai family, the accumulation of money in the family treasury is not much less than that of the treasury.

If you don’t spend money generously now, when will you wait?

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. This is clearly reflected in the current Shanchan Mansion. With such a high reward, many young men in the city have volunteered to join.

Of course, if there are no necessary reinforcements from outside, there will be no city that must be defended within.

The soldiers in the city are so brave. Naturally, they also know that on the border, the tens of thousands of the most elite border troops are in the hands of General Gao Yingxiang. At this moment, the border troops are rushing back. As long as the elite border troops arrive, the troops outside will

These mobs gathered from various places must be a scene of collapse.

There is money, official position, and visible victory!

How could the defenders not fight tooth and nail!

Not to mention the officers, big and small, even the ordinary soldiers had red eyes.

After this battle, as long as you can survive and follow the emperor's will, you will get rid of the fate of a low-level pawn and become an officer.

More importantly, there is a change of dynasty!

From the power of the dragon!

These are the capitals that will be developed in the future.

The real army in the city was less than 10,000, and the rest were young men recruited temporarily. Shanchan Mansion was able to withstand the more than 100,000 troops Dong Xian had gathered outside the city. Moreover, the army in the city,

There are actually more and more fighting styles.

The young men attracted by the huge reward, after a few days of fierce fighting, can survive and become old pawns.

And with each passing day, the morale of the soldiers in the city became higher and higher.

Because every day the city announced where General Gao Yingxiang's reinforcements had arrived.

Although the city didn't actually know it, it didn't stop them from telling nonsense to inspire the soldiers' fighting courage.

If they hadn't been held back by the army on the Guizhou Road at the border, Gao Yingxiang's border troops would have appeared on the battlefield by now.

Gao Yingzhi, the great general, was not unworthy of his fame. He arranged his troops in formation and tried his best to defend the city. He could also guess that Gao Yingxiang would definitely try every possible means to lead his troops to return reinforcements.

What he is more worried about now is how to solve the internal problems after Gao Yingxiang returns and defeats Dong Xian's troops?

Can he watch his younger brother become emperor?

Even if he could, Yingrui would dare to let an elder brother who was stronger than him in everything hold military power?

But it’s not like establishing an emperor is just playing house, so why can’t we just change him when the time comes?

If you do this, where is the dignity?

Headache.

Wu Ke leaned against the city wall with his sword in his arms. One day ago, he signed up to join the battle as a young man. Because of his bravery, he was promoted to squad leader in just half a day, leading more than a dozen soldiers.

There was a fierce battle during the day. Wu Ke killed more than ten enemies with a knife in his hand and was rewarded with ten taels of silver. Now this dusty silver cake is lying in his arms!

During the battle, Wu Ke would not show any mercy to the people outside the city. It was a fight to the death. If you didn't kill him, he would kill you! Of course, the most painful thing for Wu Ke was that he couldn't fully demonstrate his abilities.

Qingzhuang, you kill people so neatly and with so much experience, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious.

Therefore, Wu Ke had to be very careful about the process from being unfamiliar to becoming more proficient.

Therefore, Wu Ke could only allow himself to suffer a moderate injury. At this moment, the knife on his left arm was pulled, and there was a dull pain again.

I had a good gold wound medicine in my arms but it couldn't be used. I could only simply tie it with a cloth strip, but the blood was still leaking out!

After fighting during the day and resting for half the night, Dong's army outside the city finally stopped in the middle of the night, and their army was rotated up again to be on guard.

End it quickly!

In this way, you can go home!

My goal is too big. There may not be anyone in Dali who doesn't recognize me, so it is impossible for me to continue to lurk in such a thing. Moreover, with my current identity, it is impossible for me to do such a risky thing.

Come and do it.

After taking charge of the current situation, you can return to Guiyang. The remaining work will be handed over to other people in the department to complete.

After all, it will probably take several years to complete Futai's vision of completely taking over Dali.

Although I slept for the first half of the night, I still felt heavy sleepiness at this time. Before dawn, it is always the darkest moment, and of course, it is also the most sleepy time.

Looking outside the city, there was silence.

But Wu Ke knew that extreme silence was abnormal.

At this time of year, you should at least be able to hear the chirping of insects or the passing sounds of birds and night owls, but there is nothing. It can only mean that there are things hidden in the darkness that are difficult for the human eye to detect.

.

The fierce battle during the day turned the outside of the city into a complete ruin.

At this moment, among the countless dead bodies lying, sitting, and standing, I don’t know how many are alive!

According to the agreement, the opponent's infantry should not be too far away from the city wall at this moment, and their cavalry should also be waiting in the distance at this moment.

Seize the outer city gate, and then there is such a fatal place as Wengcheng!

He stood up and looked back. At this moment, the inner city gate was open, and someone was setting up some traps inside. During fierce battles, the outer city gate would sometimes be opened deliberately to lure the enemy.

Enter Wengcheng, then close the door and beat the dog.

People are so irrational sometimes.

Even though they knew that opening the city gate out of nowhere was bound to be a scam, they still couldn't help but rush in under the impetus of successive attackers, and then welcomed the baptism of death in Weng City.

In such a narrow place and such a dangerous city, those who enter will have no other way out except death.

Wu Ke knew that the general named Sheng at the north gate was planning to go out like this tomorrow.

Because during the day, Beimen suddenly experienced pressure several times greater than before. If the enemy came again tomorrow, he was prepared to give his opponent a good taste of what hell is on earth.

Normally, such a tragic scene would keep the enemy at bay for several days.

Wu Ke heard Wang Zhu and others say that on the battlefield in Hebei, they often encountered such things. The smell of human flesh was enough to make even a murderous guy smell other meat for many days.

The smell will make you vomit.

Looking up, under the light of the torch, dark clouds were pressing overhead, as if they could flatly knock people to the ground at any time.

The weather is hot and dry, and I feel depressed.

Wu Ke counted the time, then held the knife and slowly swung towards the winch at the gate of Wengcheng.

When passing by a sergeant, he pursed his lips at him, and he nodded knowingly.

At this time, there were about twenty of our own people at the North City Gate, some in their early thirties, but they were killed in a fierce battle during the day.

It's ironic to say that they sneaked into the city, originally planning to open the city gate for the friendly forces outside the city at night. However, during the day's battle, because their cowardice could not be used, they were attacked on the city.

The enemy was hacked to death.

Of course, there are also people who die from stray arrows and other accidents.

The battlefield is so unpredictable.

Wu Ke saw the general named Sheng, and heard that he was from Sheng Hong's family. Sheng Hong jumped over the dragon gate this time. Because he was the first to abdicate and forced Duan Zhengxing to abdicate, he became one of the hottest and most powerful guys in the city. Of course,

He is also one of the most hated people by these people outside the city.

The general surnamed Sheng was pointing near the winch, seeming to be arranging something. From time to time he would lean over and say something to Wengcheng. There were four or five guards beside him.

Wu Ke took another look at the inclined staircase leading to the city. On the base of the city wall below the inclined staircase, there were hundreds of soldiers sleeping against the wall, including dozens of his own people.

When the time comes, it will be up to these people to guard the inclined ladder.

Wu Ke held his sword in his hand and walked forward steadily. His target was naturally that General Sheng, and then there was the winch. If he destroyed the winch, the stone gate in Weng City that weighed more than a thousand kilograms would be destroyed.

It can no longer be dropped and closed.

At the north gate, the man surnamed Bai approached the soldier who was holding the winch at the city gate. He pulled out a dagger from his waist and put it on the opponent's back. Then he covered his mouth with one hand and wiped the opponent's throat with the other. With a muffled groan, the soldier fell to the ground.

.

At the north gate, they followed the same pattern, and in an instant, several defenders fell to the ground. After taking a deep breath, the man surnamed Bai raised a torch and waved it in the air a few times.

At the same time, several other people suddenly exerted force and began to turn the winch.

The heavy city gate began to be slowly lifted.

Just as the city gate began to rise, shouts suddenly erupted outside the city. On the battlefield that had been motionless before, countless figures suddenly jumped up from the ground, and they charged towards the city gate.
