In the houses in the town, the New Army soldiers listened to the shouts of killing outside and knew that the Jianlu had begun to attack the town. Their eyes were shining brightly, and they were eager to try. They wanted to rush out immediately and join the fighting, so that they could give an explanation for their hard work to come to North Korea and give an explanation to the emperor's expectations.

Cao Bianjiao was also a young man. Hearing the sound of fighting, he also had the same impulse. But after discussing with Lu Xiangsheng in advance, he said to the people in the house, or to himself: "Our ultimate goal is that batch of grain. If we attack now, although we can be happy, the Jianlu will run away if they can't defeat them. It is very likely that the food on the way will be burned, and we will not be able to save it in time. Therefore, if we want to participate in the war, we must wait until the food is transported outside the town!"

Feng Dehua also played his role as division supervisor at this time, and also said to the people in the room: "I believe that Mr. Zhongcheng will definitely be able to block Jianlu's attack. You all hold it back for us, and when the time comes to go to war, let the Dongjiang Army Look, the new army is invincible!"

"The new army is invincible!" After hearing this, the soldiers in the room clenched their fists and responded in agreement.

At this time, outside the wall, Jianlu's main siege force received the order, and they all spread out, without formation, and ran towards the wall as fast as possible. On the official roads and in the fields, there were densely populated Jianlu. Looking at this momentum, a timid opponent would definitely be frightened and pale, and his fighting power would be compromised.

However, the Ming army currently defending is the two thousand Ming army selected by Lu Xiangsheng from the Dongjiang Army. The most important thing is that each of them knows that there is a new army in the room behind them. He dug a hole here and was waiting for Jianlu to jump into it. Therefore, although Jianlu showed such a strong momentum, none of the Ming troops on the wall were panicked, and instead tried their best to kill the enemy.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw the situation outside the town, he sneered and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows.

The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded densely, and the crossbow arrows were shot out in parallel, like a wave of waves facing the rushing Jianlu.

"Puff puff puff" sounds continued, and the running Jianlu fell down one by one. Unable to hold back their momentum, they rolled forward and fell to the ground. They either stopped moving or were holding on to their wounds and struggling to death.

Many of the Jianlu behind them were blocked by those who fell to the ground in front of them, and were also hit by rolling gourds, but most of them were able to stand up immediately and attack again. Although there were casualties, Jianlu did not cower during the attack. They were still charging.

On the wall, the crossbowmen were still shooting, and some of the charging Jianlu fell to the ground. But after all, Jianlu's charge was spread out. Even if someone fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, many people would eventually rush to the wall and join the fight. Suddenly, the pikemen inside the wall felt the pressure.

In the distance, Duduo kept watching and saw that many of his men were shot by powerful crossbows, and his face became gloomy. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Governor Denglai did have a lot of powerful crossbows in his hands, and they were very powerful.

After seeing the main force attack, Duduo looked up at the sky and ordered the archers to come forward and shoot arrows into the town regardless of the cost to interfere with the Ming army's support on the wall.

This order requires skilled archers. Otherwise, if the power of the bow and arrow is not well controlled, it will be easy to injure friendly troops attacking the wall. Other armies may not have such archers, but Duduo's men have a group of such archers.

So, behind the siege troops, the Jianlu archers stepped forward again, took up the bow string, raised the angle, and shot the arrow.

"Puff puff……"

"ah……"

Lu Xiangsheng heard the voices coming from time to time around him and frowned as he watched the Jianlu archers move forward again. At this time, the powerful crossbowmen were shooting at the Jianlu who charged over to attack the town, so that they could kill the enemy most effectively. But if those Jianlu archers are allowed to shoot and injure themselves, the casualties of the men guarding behind the wall will also increase a lot.

At this moment, Gao Yingyuan next to him suddenly said: "Your Majesty suggested that some of the archers of the new army can be used. Jianlu is already on the verge of a tiger, and even if he knows that there is something wrong with the troops in the town, he will not withdraw."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he turned to look at him and knew that he should report the situation of the war here to the emperor in the capital in real time. When he thought about this, he said nothing and immediately ordered some archers from the new army to join the battle.

The archers of the new army are all sharpshooters drawn from the border armies. In terms of personal skills, except for a small number of the best archers among the Jianlu, the other Jianlu archers are no match for the new army archers.

Therefore, as soon as the new archers joined the battlefield, the Jianlu archers who were shooting arrows unscrupulously were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

This situation immediately surprised Duduo, who was commanding from the rear. He couldn't help but blushed and said: "How come the Dongjiang Army still has such powerful archers?"

The powerful crossbowmen were enough to give them a headache, but with the addition of a group of archers, the attack was so powerful that the casualties increased significantly, which was a bit too much for Dodo to bear.

He felt sorry for the archers and had no choice but to let them retreat. After all, the Ming army archers were protected by walls, but there was no cover on his side, so it was really a disadvantage for them to shoot at each other.

Then, Duduo ordered his men to beat drums to increase the intensity of the frontline attack.

Suddenly, the sound of "dong dong dong" drums became more rapid. Jianlu under the wall heard it and the attack became more intense. When one Jianlu was poked down, another Jianlu immediately stepped on top. There were even brave Jianlu who threw away their shields, saw the right moment, grabbed the protruding gun head, and pulled it out hard, or pulled out the spear, or even the man and the gun.

Continuously thrusting outwards, the spearman of the Dongjiang Army soon felt his arms were weak. Gradually, some of the Jianlu on the wall attacked the wall. However, with the cooperation of the powerful crossbowmen, when they saw the Jianlu on the wall, they immediately shot him down with an arrow. Therefore, although it was dangerous, Jianlu was not allowed to attack the town.

In just a short time, many powerful crossbows were damaged due to too fast firing rate and frequent use. The Ming army behind the wall was no longer just spearmen, but other soldiers with weapons had also moved forward. Those Ming army soldiers who were injured or killed in battle were carried to some large houses in the town by full-time soldiers. The New Army has full-time medical officers who are busy here, treating the wounded.

This battle was very fierce from the beginning. This level of intensity was unprecedented for all Ming armies, including Lu Xiangsheng. Jianlu's strength is indeed well-deserved!
