"What the hell?"

Most of the auxiliary soldiers who had little experience did not react for a while.

Only the sentry commander and a few auxiliary soldiers thought of the same weapon——

"careful!"

"He is an enemy of ten thousand people!"

While shouting a reminder, the sentry commander immediately rushed towards the city gate.

His words just fell.

The high-precision black powder grenade thrown by Helianyue exploded above the heads of the auxiliary soldiers!

boom!

There was a loud explosion, and the lethality exploded.

Countless pieces of broken porcelain, iron pieces, and small iron nails were shot in all directions, and with the air waves of the explosion, they sank into the bodies of the auxiliary soldiers.

It should be noted that these auxiliary soldiers only wore the cheapest cloth armor.

Several of the nearest auxiliary soldiers were directly blown to the ground.

People around him were also injured by the fragments ejected from the grenade explosion.

There was a sudden howl!

The remaining auxiliary soldiers also scattered in panic, and it was difficult to organize resistance for a while.

The few guards who followed Helianyue originally wanted to throw grenades, but when they saw this, they put them away and went up to kill Helianyue with their short knives.

They were the elite selected from thousands of rebels, and had undergone ten days of special training by Liu Sheng.

At this time, rushing into the panic-stricken auxiliary soldiers was like a wolf entering the flock of sheep.

As more guards from the Shengjie Battalion rushed over, the auxiliary soldiers who remained at the south city gate were quickly killed.

Even the sentry commander who was a veteran of the Ming Army was killed behind the city gate by He Lianyue.

Only a dozen auxiliary soldiers who initially fled in other directions survived.

"Quick! Open the city gate!"

Helianyue greeted.

Immediately, seven or eight strong personal guards came. Together with him, he moved the pillars behind the city gate, opened the five door bolts, and pushed open the heavy city gate.

The whole process took at least five or six minutes.

He Lianyue originally thought that officers and soldiers would come to stop him, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

They thought that it was because the magistrate of Wuyang County and the camp's defense arrangements were not comprehensive enough, and there was no reserve team left to deal with critical situations, that allowed them to complete the originally dangerous task so easily.

Little did he know that Pan Hong actually arranged a reserve team.

And there are two.

The first reserve team was more than a hundred policemen and government officials led by Dian Shi.

The second reserve team is the guards and servants of each large household, which may have thousands of people in total.

It's a pity that Wuyang Dianshi is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

He learned from the government officials who came to report that a group of thieves had appeared in the city, and they were suspected of being infiltrated by thieves.

They urgently summoned dozens of government officials and prepared to go to the south city gate for rescue. At the same time, they notified the Fang family, the leader of the big families, and asked the Fang family to bring the guards and servants of each big family to come to the rescue.

As a result, halfway down the road, I met a few auxiliary soldiers who had managed to escape.

Hearing from the auxiliary soldiers that the South City Gate had been captured by thieves, and that the thieves had weapons of "mass destruction" that could defeat tens of thousands of people, Nadian Shi was immediately frightened.

He did not pick up the knife and run away.

Instead, he sent people to the city wall to inform Pan Hong of the matter, and at the same time, he wanted to wait for the Fang family and other big families to bring people to support him.

After waiting for a short while, the reinforcements from the big family organization did not arrive, but a shrill shout came from the south city gate——

"The city is broken!"

···

Boom boom boom!

After a round of Tiger Crouching shelling, Pan Hong emerged from his hiding place, holding his sword and slashing at a rebel swordsman who was about to climb the city wall.

But he was blocked by the rebels with shields.

Pan Hong was about to kill him with all his strength, but a shower of arrows was thrown from the city!

"Lord be careful!"

Pan Cheng quickly pulled Pan Hong away and subconsciously protected him under his body.

But he might as well have shot an arrow into his neck from a tricky angle!

Pan Hong felt Pan Cheng's body stiffen and knew that he had been hit by an arrow. He couldn't help shouting: "Cheng'er?!"

"grown ups···"

Pan Cheng wanted to say something, but he only said two words, then he stared and died.

At this time, cheers came from downstairs of the city gate, and shrill shouts rang out from inside the city.

"The city is broken!"

"Run!"

A captain of the rural soldiers came over and said anxiously: "Mr. Magistrate, the thieves have arranged internal agents to open the south gate and invade the city. What should we do now?"

"What to do?"

Pan Hong murmured, placed his youngest son's body on the ground, and raised his sword.

He bowed far away in the direction of the capital, and said with tears in his eyes: "Pan Hong, the magistrate of Wuyang County, has lost his city and his land. I am ashamed of your majesty. Now I can only die to apologize!"

After saying that, he swung his sword and killed himself!

···

After capturing Wuyang County and controlling three city gates, Liu Sheng rode into the city surrounded by his guards.

Because this was the third county town captured by the rebels, they had experience in many things. After entering the city, all aspects of affairs were clearly arranged.

I saw every household on the street with their doors and windows closed, and only groups of rebels patrolling along the street.

Declare that no one can go out.

Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to rob or rape a woman will be beheaded on the spot after being caught.

As for the county government office, the warehouse and the weapons bureau in the northwest, they have all been controlled by the rebels.

Not long after Liu Sheng entered the county government, Peng Youyi and Yang Heqing, the two chief generals in the siege, and Helian Yue, who led the Baisheng Jieying guards to open the city gate, came to see him one after another.

After seeing a few people, Liu Sheng asked first, "What are the casualties in each battalion?"

Peng Youyi said: "In our first battalion, 27 people were killed, 30 were seriously injured, and 56 were slightly injured."

His face didn't look good.

The first battalion only had a total of 600 men, and the number of casualties was close to %.

Speaking of which, he felt nothing about the first two surprise attacks to capture Queshan and Suiping. After this battle against Wuyang, he realized how difficult the siege was.

Yang Heqing looked much calmer.

He and Lady Hong and others rebelled in Xinyang Prefecture at the beginning of the year and fought in various places. Although they had not attacked the county seat, they had attacked many fortresses head-on, and they had long been mentally prepared for the casualties in siege battles.

In addition, the fourth battalion did not suffer as many casualties as the first battalion.

He cupped his fists and said, "For the record, leader, 23 people of the fourth battalion were killed, 21 were seriously injured, and 45 were slightly injured."

He Lianyue's expression became much more relaxed, and he continued: "The sentry I led, one person was seriously injured, four were slightly injured, and no one was killed."

Liu Sheng nodded slightly after hearing this and said: "The treatment level of our medical soldiers is very limited. We should immediately ask the doctors in the city who are good at treating gold wounds to diagnose and treat the injured soldiers and try to save the lives of the wounded soldiers."

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's all go fix it individually."

Fighting is not only dangerous, it is also strenuous.

Therefore, the 100 men from the First Battalion, the Fourth Battalion, and the Victory Battalion who were responsible for the siege were all arranged to repair and rest after seizing the city.

The defense of city gates, city walls, warehouses, ordnance bureaus and other places were taken over by Min Yong, the Fifth Battalion and the Guards.

After Peng Youyi and the others left, Liu Sheng led dozens of guards to the county government warehouse.
