Chapter 240: The Sin of Immorality

The intense white light fell in an instant, leaving people unprepared, accompanied by a loud noise caused by thunder and lightning rubbing against the air.

"Boom... hole..."

The sound of a lightning bolt striking an object.

At this moment, people in the distance outside the city wall could clearly see a thunderbolt like a huge shining fire snake, writhing in the air and descending, and then slashing down the city with lightning speed.

"What's going on?" None of the people beside Zhang Yicheng reacted to what was happening, and their eyes flashed white in an instant. It wasn't until the person who had recovered his sight from the brightness of his eyes looked at the scene in front of him that he asked in disbelief.

Zhang Yicheng in front of him was lifeless, and he could still shout a moment ago, but at this time he just opened his mouth wide and stared at his eyes.

I saw that his hand was still raising the knife to the sky, but the wisps of smoke coming out of his body were telling what had happened to him. Several Qing soldiers behind Zhang Yicheng also seemed to have been implicated by him, and at this moment they all softened their bodies and fell.

The powerful lightning strike instantly heated the rain that fell on the road surface of the city wall, and several siege green battalion soldiers not far in front of Zhang Yicheng could fully feel the heat transmitted from the city road.

"This is..."Looking at Zhang Yicheng, who was still standing there, the siege green battalion soldiers who were still raising their knives and vigilantly asked with some disbelief.

"Z..."

There was a small sound of air bursting, and then a burst of shining white light.

"Boom... hole..."

There was another sound of lightning strikes.

At this moment, Zhang Yicheng, who was still standing with his knife in his hands, finally fell to the ground slowly with this lightning strike.

However, just as he was about to fall to the ground.

"Jump... hole..."

Then a bolt of lightning roared down.

At this moment, Zhang Yicheng could finally fall to the ground.

I saw that his hand was still holding the knife tightly, but his body was scorched, like black charcoal. There were even signs of burning on his clothes, but the fire was quickly extinguished by the rain falling from the sky.

If Zhang Rui saw this scene in front of him, he would not sigh: Don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be forced to make thunder.

The powerful electric current once again heated the rain on the city road, and in addition to the heat brought by the rain, the people next to Zhang Yicheng's body could feel the numbness in their legs passing through the current.

The scene was eerie and quiet

"Wow..."

The strong wind whipped up a torrent of rain, crackling and smashing on people's faces.

"God helps to suppress bandits, and the sky destroys the Manchu Dynasty..."

At this moment, the siege green battalion soldiers facing Zhang Yicheng heard a shout behind them.

"God helps to suppress bandits, and the sky destroys the Manchu Dynasty..."

Before many people could hear the words clearly, another voice was heard.

Regardless of whether there is really a heavenly help, this slogan is enough to make the morale of the siege men and horses unprecedentedly high.

"Kill..."

The siege green battalion soldiers clenched the handle of their swords, feeling the strength they had never had before, and rushed to the front of the defending soldiers in the city wall road with shouts, and fought with them.

On the other hand, the Qing soldiers on the city wall road were more at a loss, and they didn't know what to do at all. Just as some people were about to make up their minds to fight to the death, they heard a voice not far from them:

"I surrendered, I surrendered..."

The surrendered Qing soldiers of the city continued to spread from Zhang Yicheng's corpse. At this time, the green battalion soldiers and bandit troops who were besieging the city no longer had any doubts about anything else, and quickly occupied the city wall all the way.

It is unbelievable that the Qing soldiers who defend the city surrender quickly, and for the Qing soldiers who kneel on the road wall to block the way to the city, they even have to kick the siege to open a way.

"Quick... Fast... Come and help, and call the gates. A green battalion soldier who quickly seized the city gate shouted loudly to the green battalion soldier who followed him.

"It's... My lord. ”

With the addition of manpower, the wood blocking the city gates, the sand and gravel were quickly removed.

"Squeak..."

The heavy city gate finally opened slowly under the joint efforts of everyone.

Looking at the open city gate, Li Ziju, who was still a little worried, finally put his mind at ease at this moment.

The question that Hao Yikang said before is not unreasonable, although they have not yet received news that there are Qing reinforcements. However, as soon as they received reinforcements from the Qing army, it meant that they were already in danger.

Compared with the Qing army, their bandit army can only be said to be alone all the way. Once their siege was blocked and the Qing army was encircled, it would take at least two months for the reinforcements to reach here.

Without the protection of the city wall, under the combined attack of the Qing army, no matter how heroic the bandit army is, it should be a sure defeat.

Li Ziju felt that since he had fallen into the bandit army, he no longer had the luxury of expecting the Manchu court to forgive him. As the soldiers of the bandit army said, Wu Sangui did a lot of credit to the Manchu Qing Dynasty back then, but the result was not that the Tartar Emperor was forced to rebel and a family perished.

I want to have a record without a record, and I want military merit without military merit. If the Manchu court wins, he can still live, and then there will be ghosts.

The defender of the city will be dead, the city gates will be opened, and it is only a matter of time before the city of Yanping Mansion is captured.

Once Yanping Mansion is taken by the bandit army, the entire northwest of Fujian will be completely exposed to the bandit army. The remaining Qing army in Shao Wucheng was isolated and difficult to support, and there was no need to worry.

This method of expelling the green battalion and fighting the green battalion by the bandit army has achieved quite good results along the way. It not only reduces the casualties of the other side, but also continuously absorbs some high-quality soldiers.

This is exactly the same as the method used by the Manchu Eight Banners to fight the Han people with the Han army. It's just that things have changed, and the Manchu Eight Banners, which were known as invincible in the past, now look so fragile under the sword of the bandit army.

After Fujian is taken, the bandit army will definitely enter Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Once the bandit army can take Nanjing, the richest place in the whole world will be in the pocket of the bandit army. At that time, the bandit army also revitalized the whole situation and had the capital to compete with the behemoth of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Every time he thinks of this, Li Ziju can't help but be happy in his heart.

In the eyes of others, it may be good to be able to be guarded, but Li Ziju thinks that he should have better achievements. Under the Manchu system, Li Ziju could only accept his fate, but the arrival of the bandit army made him see a different hope.

Gambling is in everyone's nature. It may be safer to place a bet when the situation is stable, but it will never be more risky. What's more, Li Ziju doesn't think he will lose the bet.

The rain finally stopped.

As the rain stopped, the fighting in Yanping Mansion slowly stopped. Zhang Yicheng's "accidental" death hastened the defeat of the defenders of Yanping Mansion. At this time, there were no soldiers and horses fighting in the city of Yanpingfu.

Yanping Mansion was captured by the bandit army with an unexpected result.

When the news reached the capital, the Beijing officials were shocked, and some people even wanted to accuse Zhang Yicheng of "immorality".
