"Put the rope and pull us up. We are the soldiers of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Hurry up, the thief is coming up soon!"

Seeing that there was no movement in the city, Sun Wujin quickly called out their other identity.

The Duke of Wei was a garrison in Nanjing. The three camps of the Nandu and Jiangfang were all led by the Duke of Wei. His family soldiers were mostly in the three camps. Therefore, this statement is not only fine, but also makes the defenders on the city believe more.

But what Sun Wujin didn't expect was that there was still no movement in the city, and no one even leaned over to ask, which made the hundred Huai Army warriors who risked their lives to approach the city gate with Lu Si were shocked.

"These puppies are too stingy. I'm afraid they won't believe us. Master, let's rush out quickly while the rebels don't react!"

Guangyuan held the knife and pressed it against his uncle's back, looking nervously at the fleeing rebels. On the city wall not far from both sides of the city gate, a large number of rebels were still climbing the city, with guns and shouting shouts endlessly.

"Brother Lu, if they don't pull us up, this place will be dead and you must not stay!" Cheng Lin was also sweating both hands, not nervous, but just rushed over and used great strength, and his whole body was wet.

“It’s still time to leave now!”

Xia Dajun actually took a piece of cotton armor from the body of the dead on the ground and put it on his body. Although there were many rebels, he was confident to rush out. When he came, he noticed that the majority of the rebels were still the river workers, and there were not many real rebel officers and soldiers.

Therefore, as long as they dared to fight and rush as before, the mobs could not stop them. What's more, except for the rebels in the city gate area, the rest were climbing the walls and siegeing the city, and they had no idea what was happening here.

The rest of the people looked at Lu Si and waited for him to make a decision.

"Don't be anxious!"

Lu Si signaled everyone not to speak out and stay alert.

He judged that the defenders above must be discussing whether to let them enter the city, because if the defenders do not believe in their identities, they should shoot them immediately at this moment, and there is no way to go without movement.

Silence sometimes does not mean that it is a bad thing.

"Wait a little longer!"

Lu Si gritted his teeth and bet on the Duke of Wei's Mansion and the three camps of Nandu were also shocking the officials in the city. The Ming Dynasty had not yet perished!

Sure enough, after a while, someone finally leaned over and shouted: "Your soldiers from Duke Wei's Mansion are not staying in Nanjing, why did you get here?"

"We went south to the capital by the orders of the Duke of Ding's house. Who knew that your Huaiyang River engineer had rebelled and blocked the canal and robbed our official ship! If we hadn't been running fast, we would have been chopped up by those thieves!"

After Lu Si finished speaking, he cursed again, "Mom is a fool. If you know that your Huaian City is surrounded by thieves, we will not come over even if we beat you to death!"

The Duke of Dingguo Mansion and Duke of Wei were both descendants of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. There was a great chaos in the north. It was completely reasonable for the Duke of Dingguo Mansion, the same clan of the Duke of Wei, to take over the family, to take over the family, and there was no doubt.

"Twist the rope down quickly. Do you want the thief to kill us all!" Sun Wujin was a little angry when he saw that he had not thrown the rope down.

Xie Jinsheng and others also said, "This is what Lu Si told me in advance. The family soldiers of the Duke's Mansion must be different from ordinary soldiers. It is normal to have some tempers outside. If you act too honestly, you will have doubts."

"Then you guys wait!"

After the person above said this, there was no movement again.

There was no movement in the city, but Lu Si and the others were in trouble. After the rebels who were dispersed by them found that there were not many officials and soldiers who had reached the city gate, they turned around and rushed over under the pressure of the supervisory team led by Zhang Tianbao.

"Take the rope above, the thief is coming!" Sun Wujin jumped up in a hurry. He didn't want to die at the hands of his "his family".

"Oh shit!"

Lu Si also cursed. It was still too late to rush out at this time, but that really made him unwilling to accept it. If Li Shiyuan's attack failed, they would have no chance to seize Huai'an City.

"Master, what should I do? They are coming up again!" Guangyuan was also anxious.

"Push the shield cart over!"

"withstand!"

Lu Si decided to take a gamble. Everyone was stunned after hearing his orders, but no one said anything. Instead, they took action to lift various siege equipment left by the rebels at the city gate to the front, forming a semi-arc defensive fortification.

From time to time, people looked down from the city. They were surprised to see that the family soldiers of the Duke of Wei's Mansion did not run away, but were prepared to bear the rebels to the death, but still did not express any expression.

The supraor Jin Peng agreed to throw the rope down. How could the rebels be his accomplices? They came from the rebels to the city gate!

But both Huai'an magistrate Wu Daqian and Qianzong Zheng Tai said it was not possible.

The reason is very simple. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of if you are.

"I don't believe it, it's really related to the safety of the military and civilians in Huai Safe City, and you can't take risks!"

Wu Daqian was calm. He even kept the people below, even if they were really soldiers of the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, they could not let them go to the city.

Although these gangs have few people, their combat effectiveness is strong. Letting them survive under the city can consume more rebels and attack the morale of the other party, which is very beneficial to defending Huaian City.

As for whether Nandu will blame him afterwards, Wu Daqian didn't care. He was the prefect of Huai'an appointed by the court, and he was not a private official of the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Zheng Tai was half-believing and half-doubting.

The two of them insisted that Jin Peng was helpless, so he could only let someone report the matter to the Ministry and the Court to know immediately.

Under the city, the fight inevitably began again.

Although Zheng Tai in the city refused to throw the rope down, he asked the soldiers to shoot the rebels who rushed up with muskets, which to a certain extent reduced the pressure on the Huai army at the city gate.

However, the number of rebels was too large, and their small number of muskets and crossbows caused casualties to the Huai Army. Six people were hit by guns and three were shot by crossbow arrows.

"Stand!"

Lu Si held a card in his hand, and squatted halfway behind the shield car with a knife in the other hand. A "rebel" with a spear stabbed him from the gap between the two cars, but he grabbed the spear and pulled it forward violently, followed by a long knife swing.

The rest of the people were fighting to the death. The fortifications composed of shield chariots and siege equipment effectively weakened the impact of the rebels. In addition, the condescending attacks of the defenders above the city caused as many as 200 to 300 corpses to be left in advance.

If this continues, it is impossible for the rebels to strangle the Huai Army.

But an unexpected situation happened at this time - the sound of gunfire in the city suddenly decreased a lot, and people above could vaguely hear something shouting urgently.

"Master Lu, it must be Li Shiyuan who took action elsewhere. The Fujian soldiers above divided the troops to rescue him!" Sun Wujin was unlucky and his head was covered with blood. He accidentally fell and hit the corner of the shield when he was avoiding the rebels' attack just now.

After hearing this, Lu Si yelled at the crowd with a knife: "Brothers, the people in the city will not be saved when they see death. I am afraid that I will die in this Huai'an city today, but I must not embarrass the Duke of the State, and I would rather die than surrender the thief!"
