Even though the gates were wide open and the city was lost, Linzi officers and soldiers still carried out tenacious defense in the city.
There is no other way, what is behind them is their home, their wives and children, their children, and the things they cherish.
Even though many people know that this kind of resistance is ultimately in vain and is nothing more than delaying it for a little longer.
So the fighting continued, and the two sides entered into an even more brutal close-quarters fight.
The sky gradually darkened.
Immediately, Wang Zheng waved his hand, and bunches of torches were lit one after another.
The officers and soldiers who saw this scene were all ashen-faced.
This is a night battle.
This is what Wang Zheng had in mind.
Since you are caught by surprise, you have to work hard!
Even if it is a tough battle, with the support of the system, the Heavenly Army's physical strength is better than that of ordinary people, and now their morale is greatly shaken. Regardless of fighting spirit or physical strength, they are sure to win.
What's more, at this time, he had secretly rotated down the Tianzhu camp to calm it down.
Even if the other three heavenly armies really want to fight until they are exhausted, I am afraid that most of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side will die from exhaustion.
With such confidence, the sound of drums continued to sound.
At this time, the fresh troops brought by Xu He and others continued to attack the flesh-and-blood defense lines built by the government troops in several other places.
As the tug-of-war continued, the alliance army, which was superior in both numbers and elite combat power, became increasingly advantageous.
Of course Wang Zheng didn't always watch.
It's rare that there are so many people on the opposite side and the area is so densely packed.
Just in time to brush up on long-range weapon proficiency, which is the most difficult to improve.
This is a rare practice point where you don’t have to think about your aim, let alone aim deliberately.
As Wang Zheng kept repeating his movements, the javelins drew straight silver lines one after another, and they rushed into the crowd on the opposite side like a dragon out of the sea.
One after another, the bodies of officers and soldiers were nailed to the ground.
A little sour.
Let’s cum here today.
Looking at the number on the system panel where the proficiency level has reached 31, Wang Zheng moved his shoulders, bent down again, leaned back, and moved...
Throw!
Whoosh
The body of a big man wearing armor on the opposite side shook violently, and then he fell backwards and fell to the ground.
He didn't even have time to scream, and he died immediately.
When Wang Zhengruo realized something, several soldiers around the big man saw his fallen figure and the blood blossoming from his chest. Their faces were stunned for a moment, and then they shouted subconsciously.
"Uncle Dub is dead!"
It turned out to be a centurion.
This shout made Wang Zheng understand.
It also caused the officers and soldiers who were already struggling to support themselves to completely collapse.
People's hearts are completely shattered.
As countless figures fled hastily towards the inner city, not long after, cheers of victory came from several other sides at the same time.
At this moment, Linzi's outer city fell completely into the hands of the Allied forces.
...
The defeated soldiers fled to the inner city, triggering a chain reaction.
Failure, death, military chaos...
Countless shadows shrouded the hearts of all Linzi people.
So the people panicked and every house closed its doors;
The traders were in a hurry and everyone was running around.
The wealthy gentry were shocked and couldn't sit still.
After hearing the news, the officials all swarmed towards the governor's mansion.
Offering wine and offering wine, King Yi leads the way.
The ground that had just rained heavily was still wet and was so slippery that he almost stumbled into the governor's study.
"Master of the Palace, Master of the Palace! Something bad has happened!"
"The yellow turban bandits have entered the city!"
At this time, Xu Xuan was sitting upright, holding a piece of bamboo slips and planning how to plan the city's supplies and supplies so that he could last longer.
When he heard Wang Yi's words, he was so lost in thought that he didn't even react at the first moment, he just looked stunned.
The next moment, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"What are you talking about?"
He kicked aside several cases, strode forward, and grabbed Wang Yi's lapel.
"Can you say that again!"
"Master, the thieves took advantage of the rain to make a sneak attack. Just now, the three city tops in the north were lost one after another. There are more thieves lurking in the city. Just now... they even opened the city gates!"
"What!"
Hearing this, Xu Xuan's eyes widened: "Where is Li Jiayuan!"
"Li Duwei led the army to camp during the first wave of bandits' vanguard offensive. After that, not to mention himself, even his personal guards were nowhere to be seen. Now the city is full of bandit refugees. I'm afraid..."
As he said this, Wang Yi looked sad and his tone was sighing.
"died?"
Xu Xuan took a breath of air.
Don't panic!
He quickly reminded himself, then took off the hanging sword and looked at Wang Yidao:
"Why are you panicking? The thieves are attacking the city from the north. Even if the city is broken, we are still some distance away. If we have time, we should immediately organize all the troops to defend the inner city!"
As the former capital of the Qi State, Linzi City itself has three urban areas, the outer city, the inner city and the palace city.
The palace city is located in the southwest corner of the outer city. It was the place where the kings and important ministers of Qi State once lived. It is also where the county seat of Xuxuan is now.
"Now there are at most four to five hundred people left, Mr. Fu Zun!"
Wang Yi said with a wry smile: "Today, Captain Li sent all the city defense officers and soldiers who had been on patrol to defend the city, and almost all of them were killed or injured."
"How is this possible?" Xu Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "What about the militia, the generals' group and the private soldiers of the salt merchants?"
"Even these groups of men and horses add up to six or seven thousand?"
"Don't mention it." Wang Yi looked miserable and murmured:
"They were originally arranged to provide support under the city wall at any time. Unexpectedly, as soon as the thieves captured the city, they dispersed in all directions. If they hadn't stood by and watched, the situation would not have deteriorated to this point in an instant!"
Hearing this, Xu Xuan was furious. He opened and closed his lips several times but was speechless.
The next moment, his vision went dark. His body swayed and he almost fell down.
He held onto the wall to hold himself up, and it took him a while before he yelled.
"fool!"
It was the wealthy families in Linzi City that Xu Xuan was scolding.
Regardless of whether it is a militia group, a general group or the dead soldiers of salt merchants, they are basically organized by them.
The leading leaders are basically from aristocratic families.
Li Jiayuan had previously proposed that he arrange for generals from Linzi to manage all the troops, but was rejected by the other party.
Thinking that the other party would provide people and bring their own equipment, although Li Jiayuan insisted repeatedly, Xu Xuan was finally persuaded.
After all, in Xu Xuan's view, everyone is now prospering and losing.
This group of people with a great business and great interests are also extremely afraid of bandits entering the city, and there is absolutely no possibility of any internal rebellion.
But what Xu Xuan never expected was that these people would ignore the overall situation and be so short-sighted and stupid!
According to what Wang Yi said, when they saw that the city was lost and the bandit army was strong, these people did not go to fight and support them, but turned around and ran away?
Is this running?
Is this the one-third of an acre of land that was taken by the henchmen of those wealthy families to protect their own homes?
How ridiculous and sad!
Don’t these people understand the principle of nest covering and egg breaking?
If we can't stop the bandits from raiding together, then if we separate, wouldn't we be seeking death?
Lieutenant Li, I regret not listening to you!
Xu Xuan raised his arms and raised his eyes with anger. His heart was filled with pain, anger, shame, and urgency. He also thought about the collapse of the situation, the death of the general, and the retreat of the soldiers.
Linzi City was attacked by a group of refugees for the first time in hundreds of years!
The 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were raging in the Qing Dynasty and never invaded Linzi. Now that I am the county governor, I have fallen into this situation...
If I am so incompetent, how can I see Zhou Mu?
He suddenly screamed and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
Immediately, the tall and thin body fell to the ground.
"Fu Zun, Fu Zun!"
Seeing this, Wang Yi was very anxious and quickly stepped forward to help him, but his tentacles felt cold.
Look over again.
However, Xu Xuan, who was in his prime, suddenly looked much older at this moment, and his face no longer had the majesty and high-spiritedness of the past.
The fair and handsome face was extremely pale at the moment, and the bright eyes were dim.
a long time.
Xu Xuan broke free from Wang Yi's hand and struggled to stand up alone.
Can’t fall down now!
Linzi has been lost, things have reached this point, and there is nothing to change.
But I absolutely cannot allow this group of thieves to continue to grow in power, lest Zhou Mu become troubled by the bandits!
Thinking of this, his eyes drifted into the distance and changed several directions.
