"The city is Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of Zhang?"

Liu Ximing took the megaphone and shouted loudly directly to the city.

Zhang Xianzhong and the others had already turned their horses around, and when they heard Liu Ximing's voice, coupled with his faintly exposed literati dress, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly became a little interested.

"Interesting", a smile appeared on Zhang Xianzhong's yellowed face, "No official gentleman is willing to talk to me, the leader of the thief." ”

"Hahaha", Sun Kewang and the others laughed in all directions.

"Let's go, go over and have a look", Zhang Xianzhong turned the horse's head back with a smile and slowly walked towards Pengzhou City.

"Grandpa, be careful, Fan Da said that the shotguns and artillery of the officers and soldiers in this city are extremely far away." , Li Dingguo saw that Zhang Xianzhong was a little careless and hurriedly reminded him.

On the city wall, Liu Ximing watched Zhang Xianzhong stop two hundred meters away, and felt a little pity in his heart.

He was a little unwilling to probe and said, "Please also ask Leader Zhang to answer at a hundred paces." ”

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter from the opposite side, and Zhang Xianzhong's voice was shouted by a group of knights in unison to the south gate.

"My king said that it is very good to talk here, and we don't want to be shot."

"Bastard, it's so fine", Yu Yongkai and the others, who had already taken their guns, had to quietly put the guns away when they heard the sound.

Liu Ximing frowned, and said loudly towards the city: "Your Excellency has come from afar, presumably you are already sleepy and lacking horses, and now that Hou Dudu's army is behind, why should Leader Zhang stay here, if you don't fight the horse and go north, I can promise that our army will definitely not pursue." ”

There was another burst of laughter from the city.

"Boy, say it so that you know, a small broken city like you, has always begged grandpa and me not to attack, you are so good, you even dare to say such a thing as letting us live, Lao Tzu sees that you don't want to live."

Liu Ximing's heart was full of waves, "Leader Zhang doesn't need to scare me, if you want to come to collect the Yuanjiao, you have also been included in the camp, how can the combat strength of our army be no longer bragging." ”

"I'm just reminding Your Excellency that our army doesn't need to hold out for ten days and half a month for so long, I think there will be two or three days of effort, and Hou Dudu's army will arrive, and then it will be up to you to see how you escape."

The neat voice of the city suddenly turned into a series of chaotic shouts and scolding, and Liu Ximing's words obviously took the sore feet of Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Liu Ximing continued as if he didn't feel anything: "By the way, so that Leader Zhang can know, can you see my big boat on the river?" ”

"I don't brag about it, each of my ships is equipped with dozens of cannons, and a cannon can erode more than ten miles, and I go all the way to Shunqing along the river, do you think I can run faster than my big ship?"

"Into your mother's"

"Your grandma's melon cowardice"

Sun Kewang and the others scolded Liu Ximing when they arrived, but Zhang Xianzhong's furious face showed a trace of solemnity, so he really had to guard against it.

Liu Ximing quietly listened to the shouting and scolding of the city and weakened, and when he saw Zhang Xianzhong silent for a long time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

That's what I want.

Although he was confident that he could resist Zhang Xianzhong's army, he was afraid that this guy would flee in the direction of Shunqing in a panic when he was caught between the front and back.

Just in case, he took the initiative to show his strength and cut off Zhang Xianzhong's plan to go down the river in advance.

Of course, going to Shunqing is not only down the river, but with the protection of the fleet, even if the thieves break into Shunqing City, he has the ability to stop them.

At the same time, the north and south gates are under the coverage of the fleet's artillery fire, and Zhang Xianzhong can only attack from the east gate if he wants to attack the city, and the defensive pressure on him and He Duan will be greatly reduced.

Zhang Xianzhong thought for a long time before shouting to the city, "Boy, you remember this person, do you dare to use your name?" ”

"Liu Xi, a member of Shunqing Mansion, ordered Liu Wujiang to be also, what is there to fear!" , Liu Ximing pulled his shirt back and said categorically.

Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong turned around and left silently after hearing that he had signed up, Liu Ximing's brows furrowed again.

He looked at Yu Yongkai, Mu Jingnan and the others beside him, "Strengthen your vigilance tonight, you can't prevent them from jumping off the wall in a hurry, and send a message to He Guerrilla to make him pay attention too." ”

"Night fights? Can these bandits do it? ”

Mu Jingnan was a little puzzled, not everyone could play the night battle these days, not to mention anything else, night blindness alone was a big problem.

The reason why the Longxiang battalion can often engage in night assault training is because of the logistical supply guarantee of Liujia Village, and every soldier is a big fish and meat every day, and there is no lack of nutrition at all, these bandits?

Liu Ximing said to the officers around him with a whole face, "Don't be careless, at the moment, our army's artillery fire is sharp, if you are the commander of the enemy army, what will you do?" ”

"Find a way to avoid the range of the artillery or render our artillery ineffective."

Li Jingsi said with a puff in his chest.

"Hahaha, that's right", Liu Ximing gave Li Jingsi an approving look.

"At the moment, there is a chance that our artillery will be ineffective, except for the night, Zhang Xianzhong is not a stupid person, otherwise he would not be able to take the official army to play a small half of the Central Plains and be safe."

Mu Jingnan's face turned red, and he beat his chest and saluted, "Well, I'll arrange it right away." ”

"There's movement"

"Here comes the people, ready to shoot"

With Liu Ximing's reminder, Zhang Xianzhong's actions in the camp obviously couldn't hide from the soldiers defending the city.

In the dark night, only a little starlight was casting, but the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion could still faintly see the figures dangling in the open space outside the city when they looked over.

Originally, Liu Ximing and He Duan discussed that He Duanbu would guard the east gate, and Long Xiang Ying would guard the south gate and north gate.

But after such a day today, Liu Ximing felt a little unsafe, so he simply sent another regiment of troops to the east gate to assist in the defense.

Zhang Jingliang, as the commander of the regiment, squatted under the horse face of the city wall like other soldiers.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the thieves, there were still some torches on the walls, and the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion had to be careful not to raise their heads, so as not to be seen by the thieves under the city walls.

"Throw incendiary bombs," Zhang Jingliang shouted.

Five sparkling white phosphorus incendiary bombs were thrown from different areas of the city walls to the city base.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

After a few muffled thunders, five clusters of dazzling white light lit up under the city walls, as if to illuminate the entire battlefield, accompanied by terrible screams.

Zhang Jingliang stretched out his head and took a look, and found that hundreds of thieves had reached about twenty steps under the city wall carrying the ladder.

"Shoot," he shouted at a group of soldiers, and he himself picked up the dragon and shot under the city wall.

The sound of crackling shots immediately rang out at the top of the city, adding a bit of noise to the already noisy battlefield.

At this time, Zhan Shun and others under He Duan's subordinates also reacted, and hundreds of soldiers with bird guns and bows and arrows also followed and shot under the city wall.

With the white phosphorus incendiary bomb as a lighting aid, the thieves under the city walls realized that most of their people had fallen before they could react to what was going on.

The rest of the people were hesitating and not knowing whether to advance or retreat, when they suddenly heard a burst of trumpets from the rear of the camp, followed by a shout to the sky.

Zhang Xianzhong and a group of leaders kept staring at the direction of the city wall, and the darkness behind him was densely packed with thieves who were ready to follow and attack.

Who knew that not long after the talents from his side were sent out, five dazzling lights began to burst out under the city of Pengzhou, exposing everyone to the eyes of the city at once.

Seeing that the thieves who had run under the city wall were slaughtered like chickens, Zhang Xianzhong had to be all the hair, and directly ordered everyone to attack the city.

"Fuck the thief, I don't believe it, can't beat such a small city?"

After such a while, Liu Ximing, He Duan and others had already rushed to the east gate from the county office.

Seeing that all the heads of the people were rushing towards the city wall, He Duan's legs were weak and he almost didn't collapse to the ground, but fortunately, Liu Ximing quickly pulled him down.

This guy has been stationed in Shunqing Mansion City for more than half a year, and he has long been fat and strong, Liu Ximing only felt that his hands were sinking and it took a lot of strength to help him up.

"Brother He, the thieves are just a momentary bravery, you should first restrain your soldiers and horses, and wait for the crowd to get close before shooting."

"Yes, yes, yes, just listen to you, brother."

He Duan's old face flushed, fortunately Liu Ximing was here, otherwise wouldn't he lose an adult in front of his subordinates, it seems that these days are really too comfortable.

"Have the artillery arrived?" Seeing He Duan go away, Liu Ximing looked at Mu Jingnan with empty eyes.

"It's already here"

The artillery unit was already stationed in the center of the city, and it didn't take much time to get over.

"Let the fairy cannon prepare to fire, and let the bullet point go farther away."

As the herald ran quickly to give the order, the roaring cannon suddenly suppressed the shouts on the battlefield.
