There were bandits entering the city. Qu Wei heard about it and quickly organized troops to put down the chaos.
At this time, someone came to report that an army was coming to kill the county government, and the number of people was no less than several hundred. Everyone was shocked that so many thieves had entered the city. Everyone thought that the city gate had been captured, so they advised Qu Wei and his men to take shelter temporarily and then choose an opportunity to break out.
Qu Wei said: "The people guarding the city gate are all elites in the army. Even if there is a surprise attack from inside, they will not be able to lose the city gate so quickly. This bandit must be an inside guard in the city, and at this time, there are thieves outside the city." The army should not have entered the city yet. If our army escapes at this time, the situation will be irreversible."
Qu Wei personally led hundreds of people to kill the bandits.
Quwei was born as an Orion, holding five strands of steel, and his soldiers rushed into the bandit army like tigers descending from the mountain.
Although Mao Su has good intentions, he is just a local tycoon and can only disrupt things with chaos. When it came to actual hand-to-hand combat, a group of thieves were of course not as capable as Qu Wei's soldiers who fought hundreds of battles, so they were quickly killed and routed.
Qu Wei also ordered the troops to pass orders to the city, and no one was allowed to go out, and then ordered all the ministries to clean up the thieves and bandits in the streets.
Although the number of bandits in the city was large, the main force of the bandits was killed by Qu Wei outside the county government office. Therefore, these defeated bandits ran around in the city, were blocked in various streets and alleys by the Sui army, and were finally completely eliminated.
There was chaos inside the city, and there was no idleness outside the city either.
When Zhu Xie saw the city on fire and the city full of shouts of killing, he knew that Mao Su had launched an attack in the city. Zhu Xie didn't wait for Mao Su to open the city gate, and ordered his men to kill towards the north gate immediately.
The North Gate is the most important city gate and bears most of the siege pressure. There were 2,500 defenders in the city, including 1,000 at the north gate alone, commanded by Yingyang Sima Cao Qin.
There was an incident in the city, and Cao Qin immediately ordered his soldiers to defend on both sides. When the rebels arrived, Cao Qin ordered his 300 elite men to stop the rebels, and he personally led the remaining soldiers and civilians on the city wall to defend against the rebels outside the city. Cao Qin knew very well that the bandits in the city had no stamina, and that only the rebels outside the city were the real enemies.
Therefore, although the shouts of killing were loud at the city gate, as if there were thieves and bandits in all directions, Cao Qin had a firm gaze and was not moved at all.
Sure enough, Zhu Xie took advantage of the chaos to rob the city, and saw the bandits sneaking across the moat and approaching the city wall. Cao Qin gave an order, and the bows, arrows, stones, rolling logs, and gold juice from the top of the city poured down like rain on the city, catching the rebels by surprise.
Zhu Xie did not expect that the city's defense was so perfect and the defender was so shocked. He knew very well that relying solely on Mao Su's internal response would not last long, so he did not dare to wait any longer and urgently ordered his soldiers to board the city. The two sides started a tug of war on the city wall.
At this time, Qu Wei, who was in the city, heard that there was chaos in the north gate, so he left some soldiers and strong men with Li Hui and ordered him to continue to clear out the bandits in the city. He personally led 200 people to the north gate to provide support.
The bandits inside the north gate are fighting fiercely with the Sui army.
Mao Su's son Mao Yi personally led the attack to the north, but he did not expect the Sui army to be so powerful. He was in a state of despair. Hearing that the Sui army reinforcements were coming from behind, he was shocked and wondered where the Sui army's reinforcements would come from.
But at this time, Qu Wei had already reached Mao Yi, and saw him stabbing Mao Yi in the middle of the chest, making three holes. Mao Yi screamed and died in front of others.
As soon as Mao Yi died, everyone no longer had the will to fight and soon became like birds and beasts.
At this time, soldiers also came to report that the rebel Mao Su fled back home after his defeat. The Mao family had been captured by the Sui army, and Mao Su was also beheaded by the Sui army.
Looking at Mao Su's head, Qu Wei was overjoyed and ordered his men to throw the heads of Mao Su and Mao Yi from the top of the city.
The rebels obtained the heads of Mao Su and his son and presented them to Zhu Xie. Zhu Xie was shocked. He never expected that the Sui army in the city was so powerful. Once Mao Su and his son died, he lost his internal response and it would be even more difficult to attack the city again.
At this moment, Zhu Xie's rear army was in chaos. It turned out to be a sudden attack by the Sui army.
Chen Jingzong from Mount Li saw a fire in the city and knew something was going on. He immediately ordered his troops and horses to fight down the mountain, and happened to encounter the rear of the rebels.
Chen Jingzong was a new savage who wandered to Jiangdong and was introduced into the army by Huang Mingxiang. He has always been brave and brave, and is a rare general in the arresting department. Chen Jingzong held a spear and rushed into the rebel army. The thieves and bandits could not stop him, and there was chaos. Chen Jingzong rushed back and forth like a god.
Seeing the setbacks before and after, Zhu Xie knew that the good opportunity to break the city had been lost. Although his troops had many people, their combat effectiveness was not strong. If they forced a field battle, they would easily lose, so he ordered the entire army to retreat.
Qu Wei in the city was also in a hurry to clean up the bandits in the city. He ignored the pursuit and watched Zhu Xie retreat.
After Zhu Xie withdrew his troops, he immediately ordered the entire army to encircle and suppress the Sui army behind him. Although I don¡¯t know the number of the opponent, the opponent is behind me, is a serious threat.
Chen Jingzong killed for a while, and when he saw the rebels returning, he immediately ordered a retreat. Although he relied on his bravery, he never thought that he could defeat the enemy with only 500 men.
Chen Jingzong took advantage of the chaos and returned to Mount Li.
Zhu Xie turned around and attacked Lishan again, but after attacking for a while, he suffered heavy casualties. After all, his troops were not good at night fighting and had to retreat.
Without the secret move of the Mao family and his son, the morale of Zhu Xie's rebels plummeted. The rebels are not good at attacking cities, let alone Wuxi City, which is so tightly guarded.
Zhu Xie had no choice but to command his troops to attack Lishan, first to clear away the constraints around him, and then to attack Wuxi City. But Lishan is a mountain range with nine peaks, steep terrain and rugged terrain. Taking advantage of the terrain, Chen Jingzong did not fight Zhu Xielang, but continued to contain Zhu Xie's troops.
For several days, the rebels did not make much gains.
After Mao Su and his son were killed in the city, Qu Wei killed all the families suspected of rebellion and captured countless people. And with the death of the Mao family father and son, the forces that originally intended to rebel have long since become frightened, and they dare not have any ideas.
Li Hui and Qu Wei also took this opportunity to completely control Wuxi City.
Zhu Xie stayed outside the city for more than half a month and gained nothing except occupying a few hills. Zhu Xie had the intention of retreating. A small city of Wuxi was still difficult to break. Wu Jun's strength was far beyond his imagination. Staying under the city of Wuxi would only increase casualties along the way, which was of little significance. Moreover, the rebels had raised their troops with bloody courage and were not good at fighting hard. Today, in the bloody battle under the city of Wuxi, everyone suffered heavy casualties. They had long lost their previous fierce momentum. Zhu Xie did not dare to stay here anymore, which messed up the morale of the army.
At this time, news came from Qu'a in the north that Lu Kai and Zhu Lang defeated Zhao Liu'er, and their followers gathered. Zhu Xie was happy and surprised. He was happy that Jian had eliminated the threat from Zhao Liu'er in the north. However, this time Lu Kai won a great victory, but he suffered a defeat at the gate of Wuxi, which caused a big change in the situation and strength balance within the rebel army. Especially since there are tens of thousands more people under Lu Kai's command, the master-slave relationship between the two might be interchanged.
Zhu Xie can give up his status for the sake of victory, but he will never give up actual control of the army. Therefore, Zhu Xie ordered his troops to retreat overnight, preparing to join forces with Lu Kai and others.
Qu Wei was always cautious. Although he saw Zhu Xie retreating, he did not pursue him and allowed him to leave. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
