Although Zhang Xianzhong endured the killing intent of Luo Rucai, the bloodthirsty intent in his heart had risen, and it was difficult to calm down, and after returning to the harem, he was angry, and many eunuchs and palace maids would immediately fall to the ground if they made him uncomfortable with just one action, and they also violently killed a beautiful concubine.

The night is gone, and a new day has arrived.

"Boom boom" The Ming army is still continuing to bombard the city wall of the East Gate, and the city wall of the East Gate will be destroyed if there is only one more day and one night of bombardment!

Li Dingguo frowned tightly, his heart full of sorrow.

Because of the huge losses in the first battle last night, many of the strategies he had originally thought of could not be implemented, and he had to think of another strategy, but one thing remained the same, that is, the Ming army must cut off the road from which the Ming army transported shells from Lizhou City.

As long as the city wall of Chengdu does not fall, Li Dingguo has full confidence to hold Chengdu, so that the Ming army can not attack it and retreat in spite of the difficulties, so that the Great Western Kingdom will not be destroyed!

"It seems that I will only succeed if I go out and direct the operation myself!" Li Dingguo was silent for a while, and then said suddenly.

Others were either incompetent or unsuitable, and Li Dingguo decided to take action himself.

On the same day, after Li Dingguo reported to Zhang Xianzhong, he quietly left Chengdu.

Li Dingguo came out single-handedly, no one brought, in order not to startle the snake, Chengdu's soldiers and horses are absolutely impossible to use, fortunately, there are still the last 10,000 troops in Meishan can be mobilized, this is a backup of Li Dingguo, but unfortunately now it has to be used in advance.

Half a day later, the artillery fire of Yinglong's army weakened.

As Li Dingguo originally expected, the shells of the artillery battalion of the Yinglong Army were attacked by Li Dingguo many times when they were on the march, and some shells were damaged.

"Commander, when will the shells from Lizhou arrive!" The artillery battalion general asked.

"According to the news, it will be at least half a day." Zhou Cao replied.

Lizhou is two or three hundred miles away from Chengdu, and although people were sent back to Lizhou the day before yesterday to transport artillery shells, it takes two days to march and at least two days to transport artillery shells for such a long distance.

"Commander, will there be any accidents after such a long journey?" Han Hu suddenly asked on the side.

"It shouldn't be, the news of the transfer of artillery shells is very secret, except for a very few people, no one knows, and most of the thieves are gathered in Chengdu City, and there are almost no thieves on the line from Chengdu to Lizhou, it will not be such a coincidence." Zhou Cao shook his head, although he said this, there was obviously some uncertainty in his tone.

After all, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, especially in times of war, you have to be cautious in everything, and a little accident may cause heavy losses.

"Commander, I think it's safe to send someone to pick it up." Han Hu proposed.

This is the safest way!

Zhou Cao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, you take five thousand Ying Long Army to Shiqiao Town to meet you, and you must make sure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

Han Hu immediately lit up 5,000 Ying Long troops and quickly rushed to Shiqiao Town to receive the cannonballs that were transported.

After Han Hu left, Zhou Cao thought about it, since it was for the sake of safety and precaution, then the artillery battalion should also stop the shelling immediately and keep the last remaining shells first, according to Zhou Cao's estimate, the last remaining shells should still be able to hold out in a big battle like last night.

When Zhou Cao and Han Hu didn't know, Li Dingguo had long expected that Ying Long's artillery shells were not enough, so he quietly left Chengdu a few days ago, and was leading people to ambush in an unknown place at the moment, and now Han Hu was only bringing 5,000 Ying Long's army to go, I'm afraid it was too late.

In the end, Li Dingguo cannot be underestimated, as long as he is a little careless, he may be caught by the flaw, and it will be too late to regret it.

In a place not far from Shiqiao Town, Li Dingguo really arrived here with an army of 10,000 and was ambushing at a place where Lizhou to Chengdu must pass.

"General, the team of the Ming army transporting shells is here!" With the shout of a general of the Great Western Army, a Ming army of about three or four thousand people appeared on this road with hundreds of carts of things.

Li Dingguo smiled, he concluded that the carts escorted by this Ming army team must be loaded with boxes of gunpowder and shells, and he was full of confidence that as long as the shells could not be transported to Chengdu, the possibility of the Ming army wanting to break through Chengdu was extremely small.

"Kill!" When the 3,000 Ming army entered the ambush site, Li Dingguo did not hesitate to order an attack.

"Kill" tens of thousands of Western troops flanked on both sides.

"Enemy attack! Protect the shells! The general of the Ming army shouted.

The 3,000 Ming army immediately formed a formation to resist.

The two armies fought fiercely, and compared with the Ming army, which was only 3,000, the Great Western Army had tens of thousands, occupying an absolute advantage.

Although the Ming army resisted desperately, it was unfortunately not Li Dingguo's opponent.

In less than half an hour, most of the 3,000 Ming troops were killed and wounded, and only the last few hundred were still resisting, and nearly 10,000 Western troops surrounded them.

"Surrender! Hand over what you're escorting, and I'll keep you from dying!" Li Dingguo said to the last remaining hundreds of Ming troops.

If there is no need, Li Dingguo is still unwilling to cause too much killing, after all, his purpose is only to protect the Great Western Kingdom and protect Zhang Xianzhong, not to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

"Don't think!" The general of the Ming army who led the 3,000 Ming troops to escort the cannonballs was Qin Liangyu's cronies, who were quite bloody, and knew that if he did not surrender, he might die, but he still hardened up and did not surrender to Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo didn't want to waste time, there was only one chance, since the remaining Ming troops were unwilling to surrender, then he had no choice but to kill.

"Kill!" Li Dingguo coldly ordered!

The remnants of hundreds of Ming troops were soon wiped out, and hundreds of truckloads of shells and gunpowder all fell into Li Dingguo's hands.

Li Dingguo ordered the soldiers to pry open several boxes, and the contents were exposed.

"Sure enough, it was shells and gunpowder!" Li Dingguo really said so, he did not expect wrong, the remaining artillery shells of the Ming army in Chengdu were simply not enough to collapse the city wall of Chengdu, as long as no new shells arrived, after the shells were used up, the artillery of the Ming army in Chengdu would become scrap metal.

Li Dingguo ordered his soldiers of the Great Western Army to push all the hundreds of carts of shells to a bottomless valley, and push all the things on the carts down to destroy them!

After intercepting this batch of shells, Li Dingguo did not return to Chengdu immediately, but took the remaining 8,000 soldiers of the Western Army under his command to the direction of Lizhou City, and he wanted to completely block the transportation channel of the Ming army.

The Ming army was destroyed by a batch of shells, and it is likely that another batch will be transported, and he must appear at any time like a ghost, intercept at any time, and in any case, let the Ming army not be able to transport the shells, and retreat in the face of difficulties!

The Great Western Kingdom must be saved!
