Cao Yingmao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gou Xing's eyes, and Song Ye didn't dare to stay longer, and left in a hurry after eating a few more pieces of meat.

After Song Ye left, Cao Yingmao slapped the chopsticks on the table with some dissatisfaction: "This kid, he couldn't even afford to wear pants when he was poor, if we hadn't helped us from time to time, I would have starved to death." Now it's shaking, and he doesn't even give us this face. ”

"How can you ask him to give us face, and continue to report to us behind Grandpa Guo's back?" Gou Xingma squinted at him, "According to me, it's already very good that Song Ye can help to this extent this time, is it possible that you still want him to betray the grandfather of the country?" ”

"Hey...... I'll say what you say, Lao Gou. ”

Rao is Cao Yingmao has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, and he was also taken aback, "I said Lao Gou, don't talk nonsense, when did I let him betray Grandpa Guo." If this spreads, Grandpa Guo will have to peel off my skin. ”

"You know you're scared, too."

Gou Xingma snorted lightly, "You are a brainless person, it is already interesting enough for Lao Song to help us get here, what would you think if you were your own soldiers and your subordinates?" ”

After Cao Yingmao was scolded, he was silent.

Yan Di also said: "Okay, I said Lao Cao, Lao Gou, don't toss." If you want me to say, let's not think too much, since Grandpa Guo reuses that Li Yan naturally has his ideas, we just need to cooperate well as our subordinates, why do you want to do those useless things? And I want to warn you, some things can be done in moderation, if you go too far, let Grandpa Guo know, and you will know the consequences. ”

Cao Yingmao snorted: "I don't necessarily want Grandpa Guo to take back his life, I'm just worried that the scale of our Jiangning Army has been expanding over the years, and with more and more outsiders, we, the old people who first followed Grandpa Guo, have become more and more scattered all over the country."

Think about it, Lao Geng, Lao Chu, Chen Tian, Li Ge, Xu Li and others all went to Fujian and Nanyang, and Grandpa Guo also rebuilt the Fujian Navy Division in Fujian, gathered a large number of newcomers, and now began to reuse Li Yan, a rogue general, according to this situation, where will there be a place for us old people in a few years? ”

"Okay, I know what you're worried about." Yan Di shook his head: "But I think your worries are superfluous, Grandpa Guo is actually a nostalgic person, if he has the opportunity, he will never be stingy to pull us old brothers, but the premise is that you can keep up with Grandpa Guo's footsteps, if you really can't keep up, Grandpa Guo can only abandon you, if you want me to say, it's useless to resist people just by engaging in those crooked ways." ”

Cao Yingmao was silent, of course he understood what Yan Di meant.

With the continuous development of the Jiangning Army, the scale is also expanding, and Yang Feng needs more and more manpower, it turns out that the teams of the Jiangning Army can no longer meet Yang Feng's needs, in this case, Yang Feng naturally turned his eyes to the outside, like this time Li Yan's addition is the best example.

Li Yan's joining should be a danger signal, Cao Yingmao and the other people who followed Yang Feng at the earliest immediately developed a deep sense of crisis, which was the reason why they became hostile to Li Yan.

"Okay, don't think about it too much, how can we people guess about the majesty and strategy of Grandpa Guo. Anyway, I decided on one thing, it's right to follow Grandpa Guo in this life, don't think about anything else, Grandpa Guo will not treat us old people badly. ”

"Well, I think so too, let's not think about it so much, it's true to go back and tidy up our respective barracks. Otherwise, if Li Yan, the thief's general, finds fault, I am afraid that it will not only be as simple as losing face, but also bear the anger of the grandfather. ”

"I think General Yan is right."

"I think so too, we soldiers don't have to think about those crooked things, we try our best to fight our own battles and it's over."

"Okay, these days Lao Tzu is pretending to be a grandson, just don't think about anything.!"

Cao Yingmao replied stupidly, and helplessly picked up a large piece of mutton and ate it in a big gulp.

It is said that after Li Zicheng surrounded Hangzhou Mansion, he did not attack Hangzhou Mansion at the first time, but sent a message to the officials in Hangzhou Mansion to ask them to surrender within a limited time, otherwise they would not stay until they took Hangzhou Mansion in the future.

Faced with the threat of Li Zicheng and tens of thousands of thieves outside the city, Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, did not hesitate at all, and immediately expressed his refusal, and the next day, the 70,000 army led by Li Zicheng began to attack the city.

May 29, 9th year of the Apocalypse

This was the seventh day of Li Zicheng's attack on Hangzhou Mansion, and puffs of smoke drifted from Qingbomen to Yongjinmen, with a pungent smell of gunpowder and a smell of blood.

As far as the eye can see, the wilderness outside the Qingbo Gate seems to be a formation of intrusive troops covering the earth, and on the periphery are groups of cavalry and horses whistling.

Outside the three city gates of Qingtai Gate, Genshan Gate, and Qingchun Gate, there is a large array composed of 20,000 troops, staring at them with fierce eyes, and the purpose of these 20,000 troops is to contain the garrison forces of these three city gates and prevent them from sending troops to support Qingbo Gate.

It seems that after suffering so many defeats, and Li Yan's education in recent times has not been in vain, his command and strategy level have been greatly improved.

However, what Li Zicheng is most proud of is that through his command these days, the entire city of Hangzhou has been beaten to the death of his 70,000 troops, but relying on the more than 20 artillery pieces on the city wall, the officers and soldiers defending the city have persevered to this day.

"Quick...... Rush up! The king has an order, who can rush to the city to reward five hundred taels of silver, and the official voice is level three, everyone! ”

Under the city wall, a thief in iron armor waved the weapon in his hand, desperately encouraging the rogues to rush forward. Behind him, a rogue carrying siege equipment such as ladders and shield carts was gritting his teeth and desperately rushing towards the city wall.

"Boom ......"

The artillery on the top of the city opened fire, and one after another slashed at them.

The rogues who charged were either torn in two by the cannonballs, sending scarlet flesh flying everywhere, or a huge bloody hole appeared in their bodies, and their bodies were almost broken in two. Or the whole thigh, the whole arm is broken, the blood gushes out like a fountain, the severed limbs are fleshy, and the blood mist is filled, which is particularly bad in this hot summer.

"Don't be afraid, keep rushing, as long as you rush to the top of the city, we will win."

In the face of the artillery fire of the officers and soldiers defending the city, the invading army also appeared particularly tenacious, and generals such as Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, and Li Laiheng also personally supervised the battle.
