() Su Tiancheng was taken aback when Liu Shiliang caught the living creature and brought it to him.

He didn't expect that Liu Shiliang led the scouts and actually caught a living man, and he was also a scout of the rogues.

The rogue who was caught looked a little young, no more than 30 years old.

Su Tiancheng waved his hand, he didn't have extra time, he had to interrogate as soon as possible.

"Three questions. First, how many troops do you have in total? Second, are you from Zijinliang? Third, is Zijinliang leading bandits to attack Yingshan County?"

The rogue's body trembled for a moment, unexpectedly, this lord is so young, and the most terrible thing is, this lord seems to know everything.

"Dog officer, don't come here. His head is off, and he has a scar as big as a bowl. You can kill him or cut him up. I won't say anything."

"You have a backbone, you have nothing to eat, and you want to survive, so you will rebel. It seems that you are still the backbone of the rogues, obsessed with obsession. Anyway, I don't want to waste time. I will give you a stick of incense time. If you want to speak, speak up. If you don’t want to say it, pull it out and chop it up.”

"Officer Dog, I won't say it, you killed me."

"Forget it, since you want to die, I will give you a chance, Liu Shiliang, first cut off his ten fingers, then cut off his toes, and then cut off his arms and thighs, so that he can be tough to the end."

The face of the rogue turned pale. It would be a joy to chop off his head with a knife, but it is too painful to suffer such torture.

"Officer Dog, it's inhumane, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go."

"Hmph, what are you? What qualifications do you have to say such a thing? This officer can make your life worse than death. This officer has changed his mind and doesn't want to kill you anymore. If he keeps you, aren't you stubborn? Watching this officer destroy the bandits , After that, the officer will track down your identity and find your family members, at that time. Let's see what else you can say."

With a smile on his face, Su Tiancheng said this evil lightly.

The rogue's body began to tremble violently. If his parents were implicated, he would be unfilial.

Not long passed, the situation changed quickly, and the rogues began to answer questions.

The rogues who entered Yingshan County this time were led by Zijinliang himself.There are more than 1000 people. Because of many fierce battles in Shanxi, after entering Henan, they were unable to gain a foothold due to insufficient food and grass, and the prefectures and counties along the way.Strictly guarding the city and fortresses, the common people did not support it, and it was difficult to collect food and grass. Many people have already dispersed, after entering Huguang.Almost to the point of desperation.

Zijinliang is worthy of being the leader of the rogues, and organized a big gathering of the 36th Battalion in Shanxi. <>He made a decisive judgment. Since Henan and Huguang are tightly defended, then Nanzhili's defense must be loose. Yingshan County, which is close to Huguang, is the best target. As long as the county is captured , Get the supply of food, grass and silver, quickly evacuate, enter Huguang, fight a bloody road, go directly to Sichuan, Sichuan is a country of abundance, it is easy to supply food and grass.

Regarding the choice of Susong County and Yingshan County, Zijin Liang also gave an explanation. Susong County is not far from the Fucheng and the guards. If it cannot be attacked in a short time, reinforcements will come and it will be difficult to deal with it, and it will be difficult to retreat. , Yingshan County is different. It is far away from the capital city and the guard. Even if the reinforcements arrive, it will take a long time. After the county is captured, they can easily evacuate.

Zijinliang's judgment was good. After the rogues went to Yingshan County to investigate, they found that the defenses here were not generally lax, and they were simply unprepared.

This also boosted the morale of his men.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the rogues entered Yingshan County, and a whole day passed, but no one was alerted.In the early morning of the second day of the first lunar month, Zijinliang made another decision. The sergeants acted openly, leaving [-] infantry in a town seven miles away from the county seat, and the remaining [-] cavalry and [-] infantry all went to attack Yingshan County.

The time to attack the county seat starts at noon.

Zijin Liang was still alert, and there were many scouts walking around. If he found anything unusual, he would report it immediately. There were more than [-] scouts scattered in the four directions.

The captured rogue traveled the farthest, and was about to go back to the town, but unexpectedly met Liu Shiliang and the others. Caught off guard, two of them were beheaded and one was captured alive.

The time has come to Weishi, that is to say, the rogues have already attacked the county for an hour.

"General Sun, according to our current marching speed, how long will it take to reach Yingshan County?"

"My lord, move forward at full speed, and it will take another two hours to reach Yingshan County."

"That is to say, when the brigade arrived in Yingshan County, it was already after Shen time in the afternoon. At this time, the bandits had already attacked the city for two hours."

"My lord, this subordinate thinks that Yingshan County's resistance for two hours should not be a big problem."

Su Tiancheng shook his head.

"Not necessarily. Zijinliang is fully prepared. It is definitely necessary to quickly take down the county seat of Yingshan County. However, we have no good way. We can only speed up and rush to the county seat. The scouts should pay attention. If you meet scouts sent by bandits along the road, you will be killed without any hesitation, and try not to leak any news."

The county seat of Yingshan County is already in jeopardy.

The magistrate never expected that the preparations for the rogue bandits were really sufficient.

The ladders had been prepared a long time ago. When the pawns started to attack the city, they held shields to guard against bows and arrows. After a few rounds of arrow rain, the damage caused was very small. Seeing that many rogues had already reached the bottom of the city wall.

The power of boiling water and boiling oil is not small. When the rogues added a ladder and began to climb up, the boiling oil and boiling water went down, and there were bursts of howls, and the surrounding area was filled with a smell of meat.

This move greatly shocked the bandits.

It's a pity that boiling water and boiling oil are limited, and it takes time to burn. The rogues don't care about losses. The time interval between each round of attack is not long, and the archers of the rogues are also very powerful. They have shot and killed many people. Sergeant guarding the city.

Zijin Liang looked at the besieging sergeant, falling down again and again, his eyes turned blood red.

He didn't expect that Yingshan County's resistance was so tenacious. Seeing someone climbed the city wall, it was a pity that they didn't last long. Before the soldiers behind could go up, they were killed and their bodies were thrown off the city wall.

The city wall of Yingshan County is not very high, the highest point is only three meters, so it is said that it is easy to break through, but more than an hour passed, and three charges were organized, all of which were defeated.

I have already lost hundreds of sergeants, although the sergeants of Yingshan County who guarded the city suffered even greater losses.

These people are the backbone of Zijinliang, and they are determined to follow the rebellion. After the fierce battle in Shanxi and the raid in Henan, they have been in a disadvantageous situation for a long time, and being able to stay shows that they are not afraid of death, and their bones are strong.

How could Zijinliang not be furious after attacking a small Yingshan county with such a huge loss.

The drumbeat of the attack was still there, and Zijin Liang suddenly made a decision to temporarily stop the attack.

He has already discovered that the defense force of Yingshan County is at the end of its strength.

At this time, I don't need to be too anxious, let the sergeants take a good rest, readjust, and then launch a general offensive to take Yingshan County in one fell swoop.

Ginger is old and spicy.

Zijin Liang suddenly stopped attacking, and the brigade began to eat. On the surface, it was to let the officers and soldiers defending the city rest and make adjustments, but in fact it was not.

The magistrate of Yingshan County is bleeding, his morale is buoyant, the bandits are desperately attacking the county seat, and the soldiers defending the city have forgotten their fear. If they can't kill the attacking bandits, they will die, so they can't think of anything else. But once the attack is temporarily stopped, this kind of fear will spread rapidly, greatly damaging the confidence of the sergeant.

The most terrible thing is that these sergeants guarding the city are not regular soldiers. ability.

The loss was too great. Nearly 200 of the 400 sergeants of the inspection department were killed in battle. As for the government servants and the temporarily recruited young men, the loss was even greater. They didn't know how to avoid the rain of arrows, and many of them were shot. The number of people is close to [-], and it is too late to count the injured.

There are corpses everywhere, many people are moaning, and the morale of those who clean up the battlefield is also low. At this time, they really feel fear. Not long ago, these people were alive and kicking, and now they are dead. I don’t know what is left on the city wall. How long can the next sergeant last.

Retreating is impossible, and at this point, retreating is a dead end, and the only option is to go all out.

The pessimistic atmosphere spread on the city wall, and the words of encouragement did not have much effect.

The biggest problem is that they have no reinforcements, so they can only defend to the last man.

Everyone understands that this moment will eventually come, it's just a matter of time.

When the rogues were eating, everyone on the city wall also gathered.

Zhixian's face was pale, and he clasped his fists and spoke to the crowd.

"Soldiers and soldiers, the rogues invaded our Yingshan County. Thanks to your tenacious resistance, we repelled many attacks by the rogues. It is very good. Next, the rogues will definitely launch an even more violent charge. We have to fight to the death. If the rogues Breaking through the city will ruin lives, our family will be humiliated, our property will be plundered, and there will be no eggs under the nest. This officer and all the soldiers will stick to the city. As long as one of us persists, we will never allow the bandits to harass the county."

These words contained helplessness, but Zhixian didn't know what to say. Without reinforcements, he couldn't deceive everyone.

At about three quarters, the rumbling drum sounded.

This time the attack was completely different. Thousands of rogues swarmed in. Looking down from the city wall, it was densely packed. It seemed that Zijin Liang had the chance to win.

Some of the sergeants guarding the city wall began to tremble.

Just when they were still in fear, rounds of arrow rain flew over to cooperate with the rogues who attacked the city.

There was a scream, and many soldiers guarding the city were unable to dodge and were shot by arrows. . . (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
