"Quick, push the ladder away"

"Roll the wood, beat the stone, throw the wood, beat the stone."

Seeing the enemy climbing the city, the low-level officers of the government soldiers on the top of the city quickly shouted loudly. The government system of the Great Sui Dynasty had only been established for two years, and Wanrong County was not a border. Most of the government soldiers had no combat experience. When they saw the enemy rushing up with a hideous face, they couldn't help but be afraid. Some even subconsciously wanted to turn around and escape. Fortunately, most of the grassroots officers had participated in one or two wars. Under their desperate urging, these new soldiers stabilized their positions.

The huge rolling wood fell from the city wall several feet high. Before it landed, the strong wind caused by the giant trees whistled down. The Puzhou army in the air made various strange screams and hid in them. Although they were cavalrymen, they were carrying out many siege battles. Such counterattacks on the top of the city were hardly threatening them.

"Bang." The huge tree that fell to the ground and splashed countless dust.

"Crack, Crack." Although the people dodged, the ladders on the city wall were inevitably hit by giant trees and stones. Several ladders with poor quality had cracked, and then broke into two pieces. The Puzhou army on the ladder screamed and fell to the ground.

"Ah" When the soldiers in the city threw the rolling wood under the city, they didn't prevent them from protruding too much, but were shot by the Puzhou army under the city and fell backwards from the city. Bang, and the bang fell under the city wall several times. Arrows from both sides came and went, and some of the arrows hit sparks in the air. The number of soldiers in the city had the advantage and were condescending, but they were so suppressed that they couldn't raise their heads.

A Puzhou army skillfully avoided the rolling wood thrown from his head, and turned over and stood at the head of Wanrong County. He wiped a single knife from his hand from the neck of a panicked mansion soldier. With a "wow", blood flowed out of his neck. The mansion soldier made a sound of horror and horror, and fell to the head of the mansion.

"Long live! Long live!" Seeing one person climbing the city wall, the Puzhou army under the city cheered like a tsunami, and more people began to follow behind and snatch it up, "Kill!" Several Puzhou soldiers held single swords and drove the spear that stabbed them, and killed several people in a row with skillful movements. All the soldiers next to the cloud ladder were shocked and began to retreat step by step. A gap was suddenly opened in the city.

Miao Meng was anxious: "Hold on, drive them down." He rushed up with his confidants who had the best relationship with him. But in just a moment, the confidants had fallen into a pool of blood, and even he was killed and retreated step by step. Only then did he realize that he usually used to deal with some gangsters, but in fact he was arrogant, he, the county magistrate, could not even beat an ordinary soldier on the top of the city.

Yang Yong led 300 guards to stand behind the city tower to watch. These people stayed here to regain their energy and wait until the opponent was tired of siege and then left the city to determine the victory. However, there must be one premise, that is, the government soldiers alone can block the enemy's siege. Yang Yong naturally did not dare to completely place his hope on the government soldiers, and all these guards were also ready to participate in the battle at any time.

"Your Highness, the enemy is coming!" Liu Hu reminded from the side.

Although Yang Yong thought that the mansion soldiers might not be able to stop the opponent's attack, he did not expect that the city wall would encounter a crisis so quickly. He secretly felt glad that most of his guards had been replaced from the valley. Seeing that dozens of Pu soldiers had already stepped onto the city wall, Yang Yong knew that he could not wait any longer and turned around and said, "Qu Aiqing, you can take a hundred guards to drive them down first."

"yes."

Qu Tutong waved his hand behind him, and a hundred prepared guards took big steps, followed Qu Tutong and rushed towards the wall that was broken through by the Puzhou army.

Liu Hu and Duan Da were very envious of Qu Tutong. They were originally eager to try, but without Yang Yong's permission, they had to stand honestly behind the city tower to watch the battle.

"Doway! Dodge." One hundred guards were holding spears and lined up in a tight formation, as if a torrent of steel, crushing forward, shouting loudly while walking. Unfortunately, some of the soldiers who were panicked by the Puzhou army still hit the ground first, and were immediately skewed into meat skewers.

"Ah." The screams of the companions in front finally reminded the soldiers behind him, and quickly went to the side and moved the road ahead aside.

Dozens of Puzhou troops on the top of the city were trying their best to expand their foothold on the city wall, chasing the soldiers beside them, crying and calling for their parents. Suddenly, the front was empty and the enemy was separated from both sides. The Puzhou troops were overjoyed and were about to pursue him. When they saw a forest of guns rolling over, they couldn't help but be stunned. What is this?

"Kill!" The two armies were fighting, and then you were in a daze. Just as the Puzhou army was delaying, a gun team composed of 100 guards had already come over and raised their guns and stabbed them. In an instant, the Puzhou army in front found that there were gun shadows on both sides and fronts, and the only one who retreated back was able to retreat slightly was immediately stabbed into a hole.

Rulin's spear shrank back, and the corpse strung on the tip of the spear suddenly pounced on the ground. The sound of footsteps came, and the spear forest continued to crush forward.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" The Puzhou army in front shouted in a crying voice. Faced with such a tight forest of guns, the single sword in their hands did not pose any threat at all, except for the archers in the distance, and they were only killed. However, the soldiers climbing up behind couldn't figure out the situation for a moment and rushed forward desperately, leaving the people in front of them with no way to retreat.

"Kill!" The retracted spear stabbed forward again. Seven or eight Puzhou soldiers who had no time to retreat could only watch the other party's spear pierced holes in their bodies, blood splattered out, and then their eyes turned black and fell down.

The Puzhou army climbed up behind quickly discovered that they were facing a forest of guns. If they did not retreat, they would only become dead souls under the gun. Many people had no time to go down the ladder and had to jump down the wall and break their legs. Soon the Puzhou army on the city wall was cleaned up, leaving only more than twenty corpses with caves. The soldiers behind the palace were shocked and took the opportunity to occupy the city again, smashing various wooden rocks to the bottom of the city, smashing many Puzhou army that had not had time to retreat and rushing to the tomb.

"What's going on?" Liang Shiyan saw dozens of people climbing into the city and was about to command the follow-up team to follow up, suddenly the soldiers who had just entered the city seemed to be ghosts and retreated desperately. Some even jumped down from the city without hesitation.

Xue Moer and others also looked at each other. They could not see anything under the city, so naturally they didn't know what had happened.

"Stop the troops!" Seeing that this wave of offensive could no longer continue, Liang Shiyan felt sorry for the casualties of his subordinates, and hurriedly issued a command to withdraw the troops.

The sound of "clang, clang, clang" sounded, and the Puzhou army under the city quickly carried the still-intact ladder and retreated. The city wall immediately bursts of cheers.

Liang Shiyan counted the number of people who retreated, and was so distressed that he fainted. Only one hundred elite soldiers could retreat were left. Many of the 150 people were injured, and there were probably only one hundred people who could continue fighting. In other words, the short siege time just now had almost nulls of one-fifth of his combat power.

In fact, the Puzhou army suffered minimal losses during the siege, with only a dozen casualties, most of which were minor injuries. The other nearly 100 casualties were basically caused by Yang Yong's escorts in a short time. More than 20 Puzhou soldiers died directly under the guards. Others were injured because they jumped out of the city and were unable to move. Some were killed by the rolling wooden stone thrown from the city when they retreated and were injured when they were fired from behind by the defenders on the city.

Liang Shiyan led an officer who attacked the city and asked, "What happened in the city and why did you retreat?"

"Return to Duke of Zhuang, there are ambushing troops, there are ambushing troops on the city!" The officer was still scared when he remembered the spear like a forest in the city.

After listening to the officer's narration, looking at the city wall of Wanrong County ahead, Liang Shiyan cursed: "Damn it, the little Wanrong County dares to stop me, and I swear to strait Wanrong."

"Sir, it seems that the situation is not right. Why are there such elite soldiers in Wanrong County? Is it because Zhang Xu is already in the city?" Xue Moshou's face became serious, but he immediately shook his head: "No, it's impossible. If it were Zhang Xu, he would not need to plot against him. He could stop him from leading his troops along the way. If it were not for Zhang Xu, who else... Could it be the prince?"

Liang Shiyan was shocked: "You mean the prince wants to kill me?"

"Yes, only the prince has many elite soldiers and guards. In the past two days, the humble position has made Wanrong County Magistrate confused. He did not expect this level. Lord, let's withdraw the troops. It's still time to retreat to Puzhou."

Liang Shiyan suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Hurry up, bring that notice."

"Sir, what announcement is it?" the personal soldier asked inexplicably.

"It's the report with the official seal of the prince brought back the day before yesterday."

"Yes." The personal soldiers immediately searched in a package and finally found a copy of the imperial edict that Yang Yong sent to the counties, indicating that Liang Shiyan rebelled and asked the counties to organize troops to Wanrong to rescue the prince and encircle and suppress the rebels.

This edict was occasionally intercepted by the Puzhou army from a messenger. However, after Liang Shiyan was plotted, he was filled with anger and wanted to quickly build siege equipment to capture Wanrong County. He ignored the edict at all. Now he picked it up and read it again. The content was completely dominated by the prince.

Liang Shiyan and Xue Moer looked at each other. They originally wanted to be the crown prince, but they didn't expect that the one who counted them was also the crown prince. Liang Shiyan suddenly shuddered. So, the crown prince knew from the very beginning that they had rebellion.
