It was just dark, and the walls of Anqing Mansion were already brightly lit, and the sounds of officers shouting were heard everywhere.

"Hurry up... I'll cheer me up. If the bandits rush up the city wall, we will all become ghosts under the sword."

"Zhang Heizi, if I see you again, you dare to hide and sleep while on duty, and see that I won't peel you off!"

Accompanied by shouting, the soldiers guarding the city were forcibly cheered up, but perhaps the officers also knew that the morale in the army was not good now and did not dare to force them too much. After all, the enemy was in front of him, and he was the one who was unlucky to cause a mutiny.

As time went by, it was late at night. Not only did the people in the city have fallen asleep, but even the people on the city wall began to doze.

Needless to say, the young and strong man is working for a day during the day and guarding the city at night. It is impossible to say that you are not depressed. As the saying goes, the emperor is not a bad soldier, but these people have been summoned for several days. They are exhausted every day, and they can't even eat enough to eat, so they will get angry.

As for the soldiers, although Wang Shoubei said that he would make up for the owed salary these days, it would be fine if he heard that it would not rain. Even the rice balls mixed with half of wild vegetables were eaten every day, and the porridge they drank could reveal the figure. Only when the morale was so high was high.

The torches on the city wall were still burning, one by one illuminating the surroundings of the city wall. The soldiers guarding the city and the young men also lit a bunch of bonfires on the city wall, and then groups of people gathered around the bonfires to keep warm.

Of course, this is not allowed, but who cares? The weather is so cold that if you don’t even allow the fire, at least a large area of ​​people on the city wall will fall down tomorrow.

Beside a bonfire, five soldiers and four young and strong men gathered around a bonfire. Everyone looked at the bonfire with a dull look at the bonfire and were lying on the ground to sleep, while others were whispering.

A young soldier wearing a mandarin duck war jacket asked a sergeant next to him, wearing a cotton armor, a helmet on his head and a waist knife hanging around his waist, and said, "Tao Wu, when did this bandit attack the city? It's been several days, why didn't there be any movement?"

The sergeant asked without raising his head: "It's not good if there is no movement. Are you just thinking about fighting the thieves?"

The young soldier said embarrassedly: "That's not the case. Didn't the garrison say yesterday? If a bandit attacks the city, killing one bandit will have two taels of silver rewards, and killing five will give you an official promotion.

I guess that although I can't beat you, if I use the city wall, I might be able to achieve this goal. I have heard that all the thieves are hard to eat, haha, and there are not many who can fight at all.

If five thieves can really kill, it will be a reward of ten taels of silver. Then I will ask the matchmaker to go to Xiaotao's house to say kissing. What do you think?"

"laugh……"

The sergeant sneered and looked at the young man with a hint of childish look on his face and longing for his eyes said lightly.

"Xiao Liuzi, let me tell you this. Not to mention whether you have the ability to kill five thieves, even if you can kill them, are you sure you can get the silver reward?"

"No?"

The young Liuzi widened his eyes.

"The garrison said it in person in front of everyone, how can it be false?"

"hehe……"

Facing Xiao Liuzi's innocent words, the Chief Soldier could only answer with a sneer.

After a while, the sergeant looked around and found that most of the people around him were asleep, and the remaining one or two were dozing off. Then he lowered his voice: "You kid are just a elm brain, and you don't even look at it. What are we eating these days?

This is almost like pig food. There is no trace of the promised reissue. What does the garrison give to reward silver? Will he sell his wife and daughter to us? Your kid's mind is just not open-minded. If you weren't my neighbor, your mother would beg me to take care of you when you were in the army, I wouldn't bother telling you about this. Remember to use your brain first when you encounter any future. Do you understand?"

"Well……"

The young soldiers then suddenly realized that there are so many ways to reward emotions.

He was about to say something thankful, but he seemed to hear something coming from below.

He calmed down and listened for a while, and quickly said, "Head... there seems to be a sound outside."

"sound?"

The sergeant listened for a moment, then stood up in surprise and walked behind the battlements. Looking into the distance, he could only see a dark area, and there was no way to see anything.

He thought for a while, and fired a torch from behind the battlements and threw it hard into the distance. The torch drew an arc in the air and fell more than a hundred steps away.

"Bang..."

The burning torches fell on the ground and splashed countless Mars. With the help of these Mars and the torches that were still burning on the ground, the commander and the little Liuzi beside him suddenly saw that in the range of the fire, a group of figures of refugees wearing leather armor, cotton armor or ragged clothes were completely exposed.

Seeing this situation, even the sergeant was stunned for a moment, and then a shrill roar rang on the city wall: "No, the bandits are going to attack the city!"

“Double ding…”

Accompanied by the rapid sound of bells, the entire city wall boiled like a pot of boiling water. Countless sleeping soldiers were awakened, and torches were thrown down from the city wall. With the help of the fire, the soldiers on the city wall were horrified to find that countless figures emerged from the darkness in the night. These people made incomprehensible roars and rushed towards the city wall with ladders.

"Bang……"

A cloud ladder that was more than 20 meters long hit the city wall heavily, and the six steel hooks at the entrance of the cloud ladder were also stabbed into the city wall by inertia.

"Brothers, come on... and rush in... and kill all the dog officials inside!"

With the angrily shouts, a celebrity refugee began to climb along the ladder to the evening.

The counterattacks that can be made on the city wall are just sparse arrows.

"Kill..."

There were soon shouts of killing sounds on the city wall.

Faced with the attacks of bandits, the counterattack of the defending officers and soldiers seemed powerless. In less than half an hour, several dangerous situations appeared on the city wall. If it weren't for the emergency rescue of the guard Wang Quan and his servants, the city wall would have fallen.

Hundreds of meters away from the city wall, Li Zicheng, Li Yan and others were watching the siege battle with concentration under the crowds of dozens of old camp guards. Looking at the city head that was in full swing, Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction. Judging from his experience, the morale of the officers and soldiers at the city head was not high, and the fall of the city was only a matter of time. By the time Anqing Mansion was taken down, his army could expand again.
