Kong Youde sat on the chair, his triangular eyes gloomily flashing.

What he was afraid of was not Zhou Zheng, but the 100,000 army that Zhu Dadian then supervised.

Kong Youde had defeated the officers and troops in a row in the first few months, and he didn't take them seriously at all, but the 100,000-strong army had to think of countermeasures, and he couldn't rush head-on.

Kong Youde was thinking about it, when suddenly a soldier came to report and said, "My lord, two thousand cavalry are coming, staying five miles outside the city and blocking the west gate!" ”

Kong Youde's eyes were cold, and there was anger on his face.

Chen Dacheng hated us in his heart, and said angrily: "My lord, Zhengyun will inevitably underestimate us this week!" With only 2,000 men, he wants to block us, so the general asks me to give me 2,000 men, and I will kill all these cavalrymen! ”

Although Kong Youde was angry, he did not lose his mind, and said lightly: "How long will Zhou Zhengyun's main force arrive?" ”

The scout who reported said: "My lord, if you travel overnight, you will arrive a day at the latest." ”

Kong Youde pondered for a moment, looked at the Chen family brothers, and said: "Zhu Dadian's army will arrive in three days at the earliest, you two prepare it for me, as soon as Zhou Zhengyun's army arrives, I will eat them and give Zhu Dadian a dismount!" ”

"The last general commands!" Chen Dacheng and Chen Jiucheng responded loudly, looking confident and full of confidence.

Kong Youde's triangular eyes flashed with blood, looking in the direction of Jinan from afar.

He didn't take Zhou Zheng seriously, and was full of ambition to break Zhu Dadian. As long as he defeats Zhu Dadian, he will be able to gain a complete foothold in Shandong, fight against the Ming court, and even establish himself as the king!

But Zhou Zheng's army came faster than Kong Youde expected, or rather, Zhou Zheng's artillery was faster than he expected!

At noon the next day, 1,000 artillery men appeared ten miles away from Laizhou Prefecture.

Cao Bianjiao looked at the artillery commander and said: "Later, you will set up the cannon, and then open the cannon directly, the general's cavalry will respond in the back, if the rebel army goes out of the city, there is no need to panic, the general's cavalry will strangle them as soon as possible...... If you can't do anything, remember to blow up the cannon before you run! ”

The secret guard who always comes from Wei Xizhuang is definitely trustworthy. He raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "General Cao, don't worry, we have kept the training manual in mind, and there is no ambiguity, it will ruin the big thing of Lord Courtyard!" ”

The Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, often called the Imperial Palace, is similar to the 'Taichang' of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace.

'Courtyard' refers to Zhou Zheng, who has the title of Imperial History of the Imperial Capital.

Cao Bianjiao nodded and said, "The situation is like fire, don't delay." ”

With another hand, he began to look for a suitable place for the shelling, and at the same time prepared to carry the cannon and gunpowder.

It didn't take long for Mr. Jiang to find a suitable 'mountain' two miles away from Laizhou Mansion. With difficulty, the cannon was transported, the position was adjusted, and it was aimed at the Laizhou Mansion from afar.

These actions were almost all in the line of sight of Laizhou Mansion, and Kong Youde quickly learned the news.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at the hill from afar, it seems that you can see the officers and soldiers carrying the cannons.

Chen Dacheng's expression was gloomy, and he said, "My lord, I didn't expect Zhou Zhengyun to move the cannon here." ”

Chen Jiucheng said directly: "My lord, you can't let them open fire, the lower officials went out of the city, robbed their cannons, and used them to defend the city for us!" ”

Kong Youde is not a fool, the corners of his face twitched, and he said: "The cannon is bulky and difficult, it shouldn't come faster than the main force, where is Zhou Zhengyun's army?" ”

An adjutant general stepped forward, hesitated, and said, "After they crossed the Sand River, they seemed to have disappeared and found no trace." ”

Chen Dacheng and Chen Jiucheng's expressions changed, and they said, "Could it be that Zhou Zhengyun has already arrived, and he is ambushing outside the city?" ”

Kong Youde's triangular eyes were gloomy, and he said: "This is nothing, I'm worried that Jin Guoqi, Chen Hongfan and others are also about to arrive." ”

Chen Dacheng and Chen Jiucheng's faces were slightly gloomy, they only had 20,000 people here, if Zhu Dadian's 100,000 troops came, they could be trapped to death.

Chen Dacheng's heart was cold, and he said, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

Chen Jiucheng said: "My lord, even if Zhou Zhengyun arrives, there are only more than 10,000 people, we can easily defeat him, and we can't give him a chance to bombard us." ”

Although Kong Youde knew that Zhou Zheng had some reputation, he didn't expect it to be so difficult, and this set of methods made him very uncomfortable.

"It seems that Zhou Zhengyun is not in vain, unlike other officials and soldiers. Chen Dacheng, give you 2,000 people, and give me a test out of the city. Kong Youde said in a deep voice.

Chen Dacheng hesitated a little, but still responded: "Yes!" ”

Soon, Chen Dacheng led 2,000 people and went straight to the hill where Zhou Zheng's artillery was still transporting artillery.

Cao Bianjiao kept staring at the west gate, seeing it clearly, sitting on the horse, silently estimating the distance.

After a stick of incense, Cao Bianjiao suddenly said in a deep voice: "There are three ways on the left, middle and right, and one is missing from the three around, kill all these rebels for me!" ”

"Kill!"

Cao Bianjiao's 2,000 cavalry rushed out like a roaring mountain forest, and quickly rushed towards Chen Dacheng's 2,000 men.

The most terrifying thing about the cavalry was mobility, two thousand people divided into three roads, went around to Chen Dacheng's front, right side, and rear, and strangled them on three sides.

Chen Dacheng's military heart was suddenly in turmoil, and Cao Bianjiao only charged twice, which made Chen Dacheng collapse and flee in embarrassment.

At the head of Laizhou Mansion, Chen Jiucheng looked embarrassed, and said to Kong Youde: "My lord, the last general will go to answer." ”

Kong Youde looked up at the small hill, and then quietly swept his eyes in other places, and said lightly: "I can't save it." Command, dodge the cannons. ”

Chen Jiucheng looked hesitant, and could only watch his eldest brother's remnants flee in all directions chased by Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Bianjiao chased after Chen Dacheng, and his eyes kept staring at the capital city of Laizhou, seeing that Kong Youde did not send someone to save him, he secretly sneered in his heart.

With such time, thirty cannons were quickly erected, and the artillerymen prepared gunpowder while correcting them, ready to bombard the capital city of Laizhou at any time.

Half an hour later, the artillerymen lit the fire.

The explosion in Laizhou Mansion came as scheduled.

Due to the relatively close distance, the cannons fired out all the flowering bombs, these bombs were extremely powerful, thundering loudly, blowing up the Laizhou Mansion like an earthquake, and the smoke was billowing out, and the fire gradually rose. People are terrified and terrified.

Kong Youde and the others hid in a secret room, listening to the explosion outside, and their faces sank like water.

In the face of an artillery siege, only artillery can counterattack, and if not, then it can only be beaten.

Or, you can go out of the city and destroy the artillery.

But now Zhou Zhengyun's 15,000 people have mysteriously disappeared, and I don't know where. Jin Guoqi and Chen Hongfan were also eyeing not far away, and they didn't dare to go out of the city.

Chen Jiucheng gritted his teeth and said, "I have never been so aggrieved!" ”

The other people's faces were not good-looking, but they didn't speak, and their eyes all looked at Kong Youde.

Kong Youde's expression was flat at this time, and he said: "Zhou Zhengyun is in the capital, and he has never been defeated in the field battle with the Jin army in Youtun, which of you wants to try?" ”

Most of the people here have already decided to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and take refuge in Jianlu, listening to Kong Youde's words, they naturally dare not say that Jianyu can't do it, so they can only keep silent.

was silent, and his expression became more and more unsightly.

Kong Youde was not angry in his heart, Zhou Zheng not only had cavalry, but also artillery, and now he was playing the hand of disappearing, which completely made him sit on wax!
