Seeing Chaozhou after a long absence, Liren breathed the humid air here, looked at the strange people here, and led the team to slowly approach Chaozhou City. When he came to the closed Chaozhou city gate, Zhang Hu shouted loudly to the city gate: "Hou Yang of Chaozhou has arrived, don't open the city gate quickly." ”

A head stuck out at the gate to look at it, then quickly shrank back. Another general came out and shouted loudly to the subordinates: "Hou Ye has arrived, and the last general will miss the welcome, but the last general has never seen Hou Ye, and please show your seal letter to Hou Ye." ”

Zhang Hu suddenly didn't get angry at the bottom, and scolded: "Dut! What are you, I want to see the seal of our lord, don't open the city gate quickly, if it's slow, be careful that we attack the city and kill you. ”

The generals on the city gate suddenly showed a frightened look, but immediately laughed and said: "I don't even dare to show the seal letter, return the marquis, I'm bah!" Now that you have an army, you think I'm afraid. Hey~! I'm afraid you don't know your grandfather and my skills. After saying this to Rihito, the general immediately ordered: "All beware, if there is an enemy attacking the city, if they act rashly below, shoot me arrows." ”

After the general finished speaking, he retracted his head and ignored Zhang Hu's shouts, Li Ren saw very clearly on the side, and hurriedly recalled Zhang Hu and said: "Don't be impatient, wait and see, if they don't open the city before dark, we will attack it." ”

All the Suzaku army camped on the spot, and Liren took out the crystal monocular that he had made from Wangjiazhuang a few days ago and looked at the city tower, only to see flags waving on the city tower and many soldiers. Obviously, it is the new local governor who gives himself a good look. Rihito didn't want anything else, and let them show off their might on the castle tower.

Time passed little by little, Liren had dinner and was neatly dressed, walked out of the Chinese army's tent and instructed the guards: "Send an order to the whole army, prepare to capture Chaozhou City." ”

In an instant, the whole army of the Vermilion Bird Army was ready, and the red sea suddenly flooded the back of the entire Chaozhou City, and the sound of war drums heralded the coming blood.

Standing on a small dirt slope, Rihito watched every move on the castle tower in the distance with a telescope, put away the binoculars and looked at the sky again, only to see that the sun was already burning its last glory, Rihito immediately ordered: "Trebuchet ready!" Distance from the middle of the city walls. ”

As soon as Rihito gave the order, he heard the mechanical team in his team, and each catapult made a creaking sound, and then he gave the order, "Prepare ammunition and equip ~~!" ”

Li Ren waved the Flame Blood Knife in his hand, and the captain of the mechanical team immediately ordered: "Release~~!" ”

"Bang! Boom! Boom! The deafening sound of the launch resounded throughout the land of Chaozhou, and after a while, I heard the "boom~!" on the city wall of Chaozhou~! ~~~" The sound of constant lightning strikes. The entire city of Chaozhou began to shake itself, and the people and soldiers inside felt as if the end of the world had arrived. Chaozhou Xinzhizhou, who had been hiding in the city tower on the city tower, suddenly turned pale and looked at the general who was arrogant on the city wall just now.

The general hurriedly endured his fear, and said to Zhizhou with a smile: "Don't be afraid, adult, I think she Yang Liren is the Marquis of Chaozhou, if she really beats Chaozhou to a pulp, it is not what he wants." Now these must be his hands of intimidation. ”

Zhizhou thought about it the same way, and took a deep breath with a pale face, trying to let go of the fear in his heart.

However, these lightning strikes did not stop because of the thoughts of the governor of Chaozhou, and every time the sound was like knocking on the hearts of everyone in the city.

Not long after, he suddenly heard the soldiers on the city wall in chaos, and shouted in a panic: "It's over! The walls are falling! Run, everybody! The shouting suddenly disappeared, and I listened to "Boom~!" There was a loud bang, as if the sky had fallen. The governor of Chaozhou hurriedly ran out to take a look, and immediately sat down on the ground in fright.

The walls had collapsed, and an entire section of the wall had been reduced to rubble, and the remaining soldiers were screaming on the collapsed part of the wall. The general just now also walked out of the city tower, and when he saw these scenes, his head suddenly went blank, his lips just trembled, and he couldn't believe that the miserable scene in front of him was the truth.

At this time, he heard the war drums of the Suzaku Army outside the city again, and the soldiers like a sea of red were approaching the collapsed city wall step by step. He realized that everyone was crazy today, and he was crazy. He actually shouted: "Hold the gap and don't let the Suzaku Army come in." After the order was issued, he immediately regretted it, but there was no medicine for regret in the world, and the Vermilion Bird Army and the soldiers guarding Chaozhou Town began to fight for positions at the gap. It's too late to change back to the order now, and behind the attack on the marquis of the imperial court is a punishment that he can't bear. He was completely insane, staring at blood-red eyes and wearing messy hair. He drew his sword and ran towards the gap, and shouted loudly: "The Vermilion Bird Army rebels and attacks Chaozhou City, brothers block me!" ”

Li Ren found through the binoculars that today's attack was not so smooth, and the soldiers of the Chaozhou defenders were the gaps that the guards had just opened. Seeing the soldiers on his side fall from time to time, Liren's heart became nameless, and he shouted: "Let them tear it off first, and the trebuchet will give me to continue the attack." With Rihito's order, the soldiers attacking the gap in front of them retreated in an orderly manner, and when the soldiers had withdrawn to safety, the trebuchet began its angry roar again.

One by one, black gunpowder bombs fell into the gap, and one by one the Chaozhou defenders were thrown into the sky, and the corpses were blown up beyond recognition. Blood was everywhere, and every inch of the gap was stained red. The entrails of the soldiers' corpses were scattered everywhere. During the interval of a wave of catapult attacks, the soldiers defending the city saw a scene of Shura that they had never seen in their lives, the first one vomited, the second one vomited, and all the soldiers, including the general who had just issued the order, invariably threw up the ruined city wall.

This was just the beginning of Rihito's anger at the death of his own soldiers. Rihito ordered loudly: "All stone throwers are loaded with incendiary bombs." ”

With his order, the stone thrower was loaded with the sulfur incendiary bomb independently developed by the Vermilion Bird Army, at this time, Chen Lin and Zhang Lei hurriedly ran to Liren's side and clenched their fists and said, "Please stop the attack!" ”

"Oh! Why is that? Rihito asked, a little annoyed.

Chen Lin didn't manage people's face, and persuaded loudly: "Please look at the people of Chaozhou City, don't attack with incendiary bombs for the time being." ”

Zhang Lei said helpfully: "Lord! For the sake of the people, please don't use Molotov cocktails for the time being! ”

Although Li Ren was angry, reason still barely stood up, closed his eyes fiercely, and then agreed: "Okay, for the sake of the people of Chaozhou, I won't use incendiary bombs." But~! After saying to Chen Lin and the others, he immediately ordered: "Replace the incendiary bomb and install an ordinary bomb." ”

Chen Lin knew that Liren's anger had not subsided, and he couldn't say anything, only Zhang Lei was helpless. Zhang Lei shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, and the two of them stood calmly in front of Liren and looked at the direction of Chaozhou.

There were small mushrooms rising from the gaps in Chaozhou City, and the tragic cries reached Liren's ears far away. Rihito just watched and listened to everything mercilessly, and with his expressionless face, only the mechanical team of the entire Suzaku Army was struggling to let out a "squeak, boom, boom." sounds. ”

Looking at Zhang Lei's eyes, everything seemed so weird, calm as if it was a special rehearsal between the two parties.

After a long time, the soldier in charge of the lookout ran to Liren's horse and arched his hand: "Lord Qiqi! White flags were raised above the towers, demanding negotiations. ”

"Hmm!" Rihito picked up the binoculars and looked at everything on the castle tower for himself, only to see a white flag made of sheets waving in the wind above the castle tower. After putting down the binoculars, Rihito ordered, "Stop attack~!" The mechanical team's catapults gradually stopped their roar.

Everything was quiet, only the wind was still blowing, and the governor of Chaozhou City personally escorted the culprit to the front of Liren, and Zhizhou saw Liren and was immediately frightened by his murderous aura like a tiger and fell to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Ye Zhengxin, the governor of Chaozhou, has seen the Marquis of Chaozhou." ”

"Why do you close the gates of the city and prevent our army from entering the city?" Li Ren raised his horsewhip and asked angrily.

Chaozhou Zhizhou's body suddenly felt like chaff, and he didn't dare to raise his head and tremble and said: "This is not the attention of the lower officials, it's all him!" Saying that, Chaozhou Zhizhou stood up hard and pointed to his back.

Li Ren followed the expectations of the Chaozhou Zhizhou, and saw a general who was already incompletely armored, and his head was full of smoke and fire

Kneel there with your hands behind your back. Rihito asked sternly, "Why are you attacking my troops?" ”

"Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished." The general's eyes shone sharply, and he was stunned, and looked up at Rihito who was riding on a horse.

Li Ren looked at this general, thinking of his dead soldiers, and suddenly became angry. He jumped off his horse and whipped the general twice. shouted angrily: "Who are you assigned by to make things difficult for Benhou for no reason, causing the loss of Benhou's people." Say it~! ”

The general unyieldingly raised his head that had been whipped off by the horsewhip just now, and scolded with hatred: "Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished." After saying this, the general looked at Liren sharply, and did not speak.

Liren still wanted to whip him twice, but Zhang Lei said on the side: "Master Hou, please hand him over to me, and make sure he speaks." After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he walked to the general's side and removed the general's chin in one fell swoop. At the same time, he said: "Sample! I also want to bite my tongue and kill myself. ”

Li Ren waved his hand to signal Zhang Lei to escort the prisoner to retreat, and then he looked at the new governor of Chaozhou and asked, "Why did he do this?" No one instructed it, I don't think so. You know what to say as soon as possible, or before I find out, it will be too late. ”
