Chapter 207 The Rebels Attacked the City
"what do you mean?"
Zhu Ming turned around and looked at Xu Miaojin, and asked in confusion.
In fact, he was also wondering why Jinghui led 3,000 men and did not attack the city when their morale was high.
Those bandits did not attack the city when the city defense was tight.
This is really unacceptable.
"They are in good order and their morale is not low."
Xu Miaojin looked at the soldiers under the city and said in a deep voice: "So, it's not that they don't have the courage to attack the city and are forced to stay there, but they are waiting for an opportunity to attack the city."
"As for what you're waiting for, I don't know."
Xu Miaojin said this and also shook her head.
She had just arrived here and was not familiar with the military situation here, so what she said was just a guess.
Zhu Ming wanted to ask something else when a cannon shot was heard from the city.
Zhu Ming and Jinghui reacted almost at the same time when they heard the cannon fire.
The soldiers behind Jinghui also reacted and were ready for battle.
"Brothers, follow me to attack the city!"
The signal he had been waiting for finally came. Jinghui stopped talking and pointed his spear.
The three thousand soldiers immediately rushed towards the city wall.
In just a moment, the city gate, which had been filled with a murderous atmosphere just now, suddenly became filled with deafening shouts.
"Archers, shoot!"
Zhu Ming's expression changed sternly, and with a command, thousands of arrows were fired.
The people under Jinghui are different from the previous thieves.
These soldiers were already well-trained elite troops, and siege and capture of strongholds was part of their training.
Amid the hail of arrows, several ladders were also set up on the city walls.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill!"
Before Zhu Ming could say anything, Xu Miaojin let go of Zhu Ming's hand, snatched a bow and arrow from the side, and shouted.
He drew his bow and shot a rebel who was about to climb up the city wall.
In this military formation, she not only did not show any fear, but instead acted like a well-trained general.
Even Zhu Ming was shocked when he saw this scene.
This Xu Miaojin is indeed the daughter of a general.
"Why is there another fight outside the city?"
The shouts and cries of killing instantly spread throughout the entire Shanxi City, causing the officials in the government office, who had finally calmed down, to panic again.
They were all scholars and were naturally afraid of military fighting.
We just defeated a group of bandits a while ago, and now they're coming again in just two days?
"Don't panic!"
Liu Yingshan stood up, waved his hand, and spoke to calm the panicked officials.
"Master Liu, why aren't you in a hurry? If they invade us, you and I will just be fish on the chopping board."
However, other officials did not buy Liu Yingshan's calmness.
It's okay to let them compose poems and play tricks, but it's impossible to deal with these soldiers.
Even the officers and soldiers who were in charge of guarding them became nervous.
The more they talked, the more panicked they became, and they simply rushed towards the gate.
At this moment, even if it were an offense against Zhu Ming's orders, the worst that could happen would be losing one's official hat.
But if the army comes in, it will be hard to say what will happen. We might even lose our lives.
Upon seeing this, the officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop them, and the two groups of people crowded together and pushed each other.
The entire government office was in chaos.
Snapped!
A wooden stick hit an official directly on the back, knocking him to the ground.
Noticing the commotion here, the noisy officials turned around with shocked expressions.
I saw Si Jin and Chen Ling standing there, still holding the wooden sticks they had used to hit people.
If it weren't for the close relationship between Si Jin and Zhu Ming, the emperor's grandson, and the presence of Jinyiwei Chen Ling, these officials would have wanted to beat Si Jin up at this moment.
"Just be patient."
Si Jin looked at these officials coldly, his expression still sullen.
"The Royal Guards are here. Anyone who pushes in disorder can be killed."
Si Jin finished speaking briefly, as if she suddenly remembered something, her face changed, and she immediately ran out of the government office.
All the officials watched Si Jin leave, and no matter how angry they were, they didn't dare to say anything more.
"You can try to run away. The embroidered spring sword in my hand will not cost you your life."
Chen Ling looked at these officials with disdain and simply found a seat to sit down.
He just threw the embroidered spring knife in his hand to the ground, and scared all the officials.
Everyone knows the reputation of the Jinyiwei.
There are so many important officials in the capital, and the Jinyiwei have killed them all. What are they?
"Wang Xing, immediately have the soldiers from other city gates come to support us."
The officers and soldiers under Jinghui's command were the defenders of the west side of the city, which was currently unguarded.
Wang Xing had only a thousand men under his command, and they were stretched to the limit under the siege of these rebels.
Seeing that more and more ladders were erected on the city wall, Zhu Ming had no choice but to ask Wang Xing to transfer more troops.
The other bandits had suffered heavy casualties while attacking the city, so it was impossible for them to take advantage of the situation and rob the city now.
Can the troops at the other three city gates be transferred here?
"Yes!"
Wang Xing also knew that the situation was urgent, so he just responded and retreated.
"You guys, follow me!"
Xu Miaojin ignored all this at the moment, and ordered the Jinyiwei behind him to kill the rebels who were rushing up the city wall.
"Danger, come back quickly!"
Seeing this, Zhu Ming didn't care about anything else and followed with the guards around him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Miaojin had already drawn his sword, and with a flash of cold light, he had already killed a rebel.
On this battlefield, Xu Miaojin's bravery was fully demonstrated.
The skills that Zhu Ming had demonstrated before came in handy at this moment.
"Do you know how dangerous this place is?"
Zhu Ming led his men to Xu Miaojin's side, dispersed the rebels who were about to surround Xu Miaojin, and immediately frowned and reprimanded them.
Charging into the midst of this rebel army like this is truly a life-threatening move.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you."
Xu Miaojin responded immediately, but did not take Zhu Ming's rebuke seriously.
Now that she was in the mood to kill, she couldn't care less.
Zhu Ming also knew that now was not the time to reason with Xu Miaojin. He had to drive these rebels away before doing anything else.
I don’t know when other reinforcements will arrive.
The two sides fought from morning to afternoon, and everyone was exhausted.
Zhu Ming couldn't even hold the knife at this moment.
If the people at the other city gates had not sent troops to support, this city gate would have been breached by now.
"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"
Zhu Ming frowned. Both he and Xu Miaojin's clothes were soaked with blood.
"kill!"
A loud noise suddenly came from behind the rebels, causing the rebels, whose morale had already been low, to become uneasy.
"Soldiers, reinforcements are coming!"
Noticing the rebels' abnormality, Zhu Ming also gathered his courage and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.
The reinforcements that I have been waiting for have finally arrived.
