Chapter 262
Yancheng diverted the water from the Shahe River and flowed into the moat.

The rebels filled the river day and night, and by virtue of their superior numbers, they filled a large section of the river in less than six days.

Outside the city walls, tens of thousands of rebels threw boxes of soil and bags of gravel into the moat, causing turbid waves to turn the river water into a muddy yellow.

The Dashun court has just been established, and the army does not yet have a complete logistics system, and the equipment is basically seized before.

Although Li Zicheng has a workshop in Guanzhong to make equipment, it can barely meet the equipment and consumption of the main force of the Fifth Battalion. Local troops like Zhao Mingchong can't get much equipment all year round.

There are not many arrows in the city, and after shooting, they can only fight hand-to-hand. Yancheng did not try its best to prevent the rebels from filling the river, but planned to save the arrows for use when defending the city.

In the wilderness outside the city walls, countless figures of rebels continuously transported the soil to the river, one after another wheelbarrows connected together, the flow of people shuttled, overlooking from the air, like ants moving house, the scene is magnificent and spectacular.

During the process of filling the river, the vast majority of people were safe, and the defenders on the city did not shoot indiscriminately. Only at the last moment when the moat was filled with soil, sporadic arrows were shot down from the city. Soil, planted together in the moat.

Han Jiadi, Li Jiyu, and Liu Xuan rode on their horses, holding the reins in their hands, watching the rebel soldiers fill up a large section of the moat, and they were all quite satisfied with the progress.

"I think it's okay!" Li Jiyu said to the two of them: "Yan City is too close to the second year of high school, we should take it as soon as possible. If the second year of high school comes to help, we will be attacked by inside and outside."

"Medium!" Han Jiadi nodded, "Now we have filled more than 100 zhang, so stop filling the river and prepare to attack!"

Liu Xuan also agreed: "Then we will seize Yancheng first, and then use it as a base to attack Runing. I heard that the Runing Mansion in the second year of high school is very rich. Let's take it and divide his property and property equally." The territory, the strength will definitely double. Haha~~~~~~"

The horns of the rebel army sounded, and the people who filled the river retreated like a tide, leaving only baskets scattered in the wilderness and scattered corpses.

Not long after, a large group of figures holding various weapons gathered two miles outside the city.

The soldiers shooting arrows on the top of the city stopped shooting with bows and arrows in their hands, and looked at the rebels assembled in the distance with serious eyes, feeling heavy pressure in their hearts.

Zhao Mingchong looked at the moat that had been filled up. The original wide river channel was only left near the city wall, and there was still a trickle.That's because the rebels were afraid of falling rocks and trees, so they didn't fill it up. Moreover, the river became a small stream, which no longer affected the siege, so there was no need to fill it up.

Once the moat was filled, the city wall lost the protection of the moat, and the rebels could basically rush directly to the city and erect ladders to climb.

Zhao Mingchong looked stern, and waved his hands, "Get ready to defend!"

The drums of "dong dong dong" sounded, and the tens of thousands of rebels assembled outside the city suddenly let out a roar, and the army rushed towards Yancheng like a tide.

The rebels launched the first attack, and more than ten thousand rebels, led by Li Jiyu, aggressively attacked the northern city of Yancheng.

The drums and trumpets of the rebels blared, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. The rebels in front carried nearly a hundred long ladders, ran barefoot, and rushed towards the city wall like a tide.

During the time when the rebels filled the river, Zhao Mingchong was not idle. He stepped up the deployment of the city defense and prepared a large number of defense equipment.

At this time, Zhao Mingchong personally commanded the city, and the arrows that were originally saved, now rained down, shooting at the rushing rebels, and the rebel soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.

But without the resistance of the moat, the rebel soldiers quickly rushed to the bottom of the city, erected ladders one after another, and climbed up roaring.

All of a sudden, rolling stones and trees fell from the top of the city, and arrows intertwined above and below the city like rain. The rebel soldiers screamed and fell from the ladders, and the offensive and defensive sides fought fiercely.

At dusk, the corpses left by the rebel army receded like a tide.

Zhao Mingchong couldn't help but feel his heart tighten when he saw the blood soaking the city, and there were corpses and injured soldiers everywhere.

If the rebels continue to drive away the young and strong men and horses they coerce into attacking the city, Yancheng will certainly not be able to hold on for too long.

"Captain, the person we went to Runing for help has returned!" A soldier hurried to the top of the wall.

Zhao Mingchong was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "Bring it here quickly."

Not long after, a soldier was brought in and knelt down on one knee, "I told the captain, General Gao promised to send troops, and said that within three to five days, he would reach Yancheng!"

Zhao Mingchong was overjoyed, but worried.

Now that Li Zicheng has been defeated, his prestige is not as good as before. The rule of the Dashun court in various places has also collapsed, and there is a tendency for princes to rise together.

There were rumors in the army earlier that Gao Yihuan invited Wang Tizhong to attack Xiangyang, deliberately killed Wang Tizhong, and then annexed his troops.

That was when Li Zicheng was in full swing, now that Gao Yihuan came to rescue Yancheng, would he take the opportunity to eat him?
It is rumored in Yuzhou that Runan Gao's second elder brother is righteous to his brothers and evil to his enemies.If he doesn't follow, will he also die in battle inexplicably like Wang Tizhong?
Zhao Mingchong belonged to Bai Wang, and Bai Wang had favored him, but he had already asked Bai Wang for reinforcements, but Bai Wang didn't care about it, and Gao Yihuan couldn't blame him for taking the city of Yan.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mingchong said to the people: "The situation is urgent, I'll ask someone to write a letter, you have to work hard again, rush to Luoyang overnight, and give the letter to Bai Shuai."

At that moment, he called the scribe and dictated a few words. After the scribe wrote it down, he was sent to Luoyang immediately.

The rebel camp outside the city, Li Jiyu and others were discussing in the camp after the one-day siege was over.

"Based on today's attack, I can't see that Yancheng can be taken in three days." Liu Xuan said confidently.

Han Jiadi nodded, "Today we only attacked one side, so we were driven down by the intruders. Tomorrow when we attack the city, Brother Li will continue to attack from the river fill. Brother Liu and I will pretend to attack the east and west cities, leaving the south city untouched. , the intruders will definitely escape from the south city. I will ambush another army on the road, and Zhao Mingchong will be captured."

A few people laughed, and suddenly the curtain was lifted, and a leader came in in panic, "Generals, it's not good, the spies found a group of people, bypassing Yancheng, heading for Xuzhou."

"What?" Han Jiadi stood up in shock.

Xuzhou is his old nest, and most of the food, grass and supplies of the three families are placed in Xuzhou. He is planning to run Xuzhou wantonly like Cao Mengde and build a career.

Liu Xuan was also surprised, "Whose team? How many people?"

Li Jiyu didn't wait for Xiaoxiao to speak, and scolded angrily: "You don't need to ask, it must be the grandson of the sophomore in high school!"

Xiao Xiao clasped his fists and replied: "The troops came from the south, there are more than 3000 people, they should be from Runing!"

Since everyone wanted to fight Runing, they naturally knew that they would fight Gao Yihuan, but they didn't expect Gao Yihuan to kill him before taking Yancheng, and the decisive battle came a little too soon.

Before Yancheng was captured, Gao Yihuan's soldiers and horses suddenly came, which made Han Jia upset for the first time, "Gusun came up with a trick of black tiger's heart, which made us care about one thing and lose another. This Yancheng can't be fought anymore. You have to find Gao for a World War II first."

Li Jiyu said: "It is impossible to have only 3000 people in the second year of high school. There must be a large army coming."

Han Jiadi was deeply convinced, and hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up, immediately send out spies to the south to find out the movements of the sophomore~~~~~~"
