Just as Sun Kewang's troops outside the city were about to charge, their artillery was deploying their artillery, and some had already begun to ignite.

Countless torches suddenly lit up at the top of the city, lighting up the night sky.

The outline of the whole city was revealed in the night sky, and the head of the city was like a sea of soldiers, and every face of them was illuminated by torches, and it was clearly visible, all neatly armored and fully armed.

Apparently the city was prepared.

Looking at the cannons on the battlements one by one, the black cannon muzzles have already been aimed at the people and horses outside the city.

The soldiers with torches were already ready to light the fire.

In the gaps of the cannons were countless musketeers, and then archers. Then the rolling wood and thunder stones on the head of the city piled up.

Sabre-rattling is on the verge of eruption. Sun Kewang and others outside the city were stunned when they saw this scene.

"Let these turtle grandchildren taste the power and light the fire!"

At this time, the Ming army in the city attacked, and at the sound of an order, the torches lit the fuse.

After a soft sneer, the cannon rang out.

"Knock knock...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cannons were in full swing, and their cannons were one step ahead of the cannons outside the city.

As a result, only a small number of artillery pieces were ready on Sun Kewang's artillery position, most of which had not yet been ignited, and some soldiers were busy fiddling with the crosshairs, lighting the door, and even loading ammunition, busy with these things.

The shells of the Ming army in the city flew over, and then exploded with a bang.

Ten thousand cannons were fired in unison, the ground shook the mountains, and thick smoke billowed out.

Sun Kewang's artillery was killed on the spot, some were fiddling with the photo door and were blown down on the muzzle, some were fiddling with the crosshair group photo door and were blown away, and some blew up the cannon.

Their artillery camp positions were immediately in chaos, and only a few red-coated cannons played a role.

Of course, the Ming army at the head of the city was not only aimed at their artillery positions, but also aimed at the thousands of troops and horses outside the city, and the red-clothed cannons had a long range.

Sun Kewang had already realized that he had been fooled at this time, the mutiny in the city was likely to be fake, he knew that Lin Yi was so surprising, this must be his trick, but he was already annoyed and angry at this time, and even lost his mind a little.

The 100,000 army has been pulled out, and after tossing for half a night, you can't just withdraw the troops in vain with this artillery fire, otherwise how can you save face? Where is the prestige? Especially now that his more than 200,000 men and horses are actually an alliance of three forces, of course, he Sun Kewang is also a person with a face.

Therefore, he gave an order: "Rush me!" ”

Originally, according to their plan, the 100,000-strong army launched a surprise attack, and under the cover of artillery fire, they attacked the city in one fell swoop, and with the cooperation of the elephant army, the city was in hand, but now things are unexpected, Sun Zhongwang's men and horses were blown up and scattered.

However, Sun Kewang's military order still worked, his generals Ainengqi and Wang Dingguo personally supervised the battle, cut down a few soldiers who ran around, and the situation stabilized, and then Ainengqi and Wang Dingguo personally led the team to charge, Sun Kewang's men and horses were really not afraid of death, and rushed to the city gate with earth-shattering artillery fire. Some carried ladders, some drove siege engines, and under the light of torches, they rushed towards the moat.

At this time, the muskets on the head of the city rang out, tens of thousands of self-generated flintlock pistols filled the blind spot of the range of the red-coated cannons, crackling like a fire whip, Sun Kewang's men and horses fell down in batches, but there were really brave, they rushed through the moat, but then the archers in the city were mighty, and the arrows filled the gap in the range of the muskets.

The three weapons of red-coated cannons, self-generated flintlock pistols, and bows and arrows, started from long-range strikes, and formed a dense firepower network from far and near, Sun Kewang's men and horses were unlucky, almost no one could break through the triple firepower defense line, and those who were particularly brave and took the shit luck were lucky enough to rush to the base of the city wall, but before the ladder was erected, the rolling logs and stones on the city came down and were smashed to pieces.

Sun Kewang's men and horses launched three attacks successively, and they were not able to attack the head of the city, in contrast, the first charge had the best results, and the spirit of the generals was also sufficient, and their cannons still had a much starting effect, but the next two times, their cannons were blown up, and the firepower was pressed down, and these soldiers failed to rush through the moat, so they were beaten back. The general Ma Yuanli was wounded, and several middle-level generals of Yunnan Tusi were also killed.

Then the day dawned, and there were dead bodies everywhere outside the city, killed by cannons, struck by muskets, hedgehogs shot by bows and arrows, stoned to death by wood and stones in the city, drowned in the moat, trampled like mud by men and horses, and slain by their own men because of their poor charge.

The wide, deep moat was filled with dead bodies, blood spilled out of the river, and the smell of water mixed with the smell of roasted paste permeated the morning air.

However, the Ming army in the city did not move, they were full of energy and high morale, which formed a strong contrast with the fatigue of Sun Kewang outside the city.

At this time, Song Xiance, Gao Guiying and Li Yan appeared in the city, Li Gongzi was also young, his cloak full of armor flew in the wind, looking dashing, the three commanders saw Sun Kewang on the horse not far from the city, and couldn't help laughing on their backs, "Hahaha......"

The laughter spread over the city.

Li Yan pointed at Sun Kewang and shouted: "Sun Kewang, why did you stop, Lord Jianguo is strategizing, the brothers have been here for half the night, you have only attacked three times and you can't say it's fun, come and come and continue to continue, the more fierce the better, hahaha......"

Sun Kewang was so angry that he vomited blood, but he didn't dare to attack anymore when he was angry, these three attacks have lost tens of thousands of horses, and the number of people has not been counted yet, but the preliminary estimate will not be less than 30,000.

The artillery is basically paralyzed, the situation in front of us is obvious, and if we continue to attack the 100,000 troops, we will fight them out, but the key is that it is difficult to achieve the goal even if we fight with 100,000 troops.

But how can this be, the mutiny in the city is really fake?

This is Song Xiance at the head of the city, telling him the truth: "Commander Sun doesn't have to be frustrated, you commanded this battle well, if you want to blame, you can only blame our Lord Lin for being too anticipating the enemy like a god, the mutiny in the city has long been quelled, and the thief Gao Jie and others have already been subdued."

Song Xiance's words were even more annoying, Sun Kewang couldn't understand the reason, he was so anxious that he smoked, and finally had to collect troops and return to the camp with Mu Tianbo in disgrace.

The Ming army was not tired at all after fighting in the middle of the night, it may be the excitement of winning the battle, especially these horses in Chengdu, these days they have even suffered defeats, and they were forced to the city by Sun Kewang's men and horses and did not dare to fight, and even provoked and made trouble, they were all full of pockets, and today can be regarded as a round of eyebrows.

Seeing Sun Kewang leaving in embarrassment with the remnants of the defeated army, they cheered with knives and guns at the head of the city, and some jumped straight up like children, shouting and shouting, lively like the New Year, angry and angry.

After Sun Kewang's men and horses walked away, the city gate was wide open, and a Ming army went out of the city and began to clean up the battlefield, take care of the spoils, pass through the moat, and strengthen the city defense......

Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and Song Xiance went down to the city to report the results to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi, who had been asleep for a few hours, had already gotten up energetically, washed up, and had eaten breakfast.

In the second half of the night, there was such a battle outside the southern city, Lin Yi could even sleep, this was mainly because he was in his chest, and he didn't worry about any mistakes at all, he had long expected what kind of results would be, and someone came to report early in the morning, he had already mastered the basic situation, and when Gao Guiying and others reported to him in detail, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, this battle outside the south of the city was a by-product, because Lin Yi had expected in advance that if there was a mutiny in the city, the outside of the city would definitely take advantage of the fire to rob overnight, so he arranged this one when quelling the mutiny, Sun Kewang was really fooled, and the battle in the south of the city did not delay the quelling of the rebellion at all, and this battle was quite fruitful, and the Ming army annihilated Sun Kewang's tens of thousands of thieves at a small cost of casualties.

This is tantamount to giving Sun Kewang a head start, and getting rid of Gao Jie's rebel army, Zuo Liangyu is also obedient, the stubborn disease and cancer have been removed, and the "counter-revolutionary" in the team has been eliminated, which can really be described as double happiness.

This battle was so skillfully planned and fought so beautifully, how could Lin Yi not be happy? However, the fly in the ointment is that there is no news from Xu Dingguo's side, and Li Chengdong, the rebel boss, is still on the run, but Lin Yi believes that it is only a matter of time before he is caught, and he must still be in the city.

Therefore, Lin Yi praised several generals such as Gao Guiying, Li Yan and Song Xiance.

The third general hurriedly said: "I don't dare to invite credit, it's all the genius of the prison lord, and the ministers are just doing their duty, why bother?" ”

Lin Yi asked them to go back to the camp to rest and reorganize their horses, in order to fight again, because the battle with Sun Kewang had just begun, and this was at most a prelude.

……

Rewind time by a few hours.

Li Chengdong witnessed Xu Dingguo kill Gao Jie and then surrender to the officers and troops who surrounded them.

Li Chengdong saw that the general trend had gone, and he couldn't stop beating his eyelids. But he didn't choose Xu Dingguo's routine, because it was too risky, and he didn't know if he could save the dog's life.

Of course, he had his own strategy, and in a hurry, he screamed and fell in a pool of blood, and I smeared other people's blood on her face and pretended to be dead.

When the other soldiers were about to go away, he got up from the pile of dead men, and crawled with him, and went to these dark places, such as dog holes, and ditches, and over walls.

He was born as a thief, and this is his profession. So it quickly disappeared into the night......

Gao Jie's camp.

Xing's body has been uncomfortable for the past few days, so Gao Jie didn't let her participate in tonight's operation, and there was a maid and a maid to accompany her in the tent, and a sentry was sent outside the tent to protect her.

If something so big is going on in the city, who can sleep? Even if some didn't know the inside story, they were awakened by the rumbling of gunfire and the earth-shattering shouts of killing.

I don't know if it's good or bad, I'm waiting here.

Xing was lying on the bed, and the maids and maids were also sitting in the room, and their hearts were all up and down.

It was at this time that Li Chengdong came.

Everyone present was frightened, including these generals outside, because Li Chengdong was covered in blood at this time, especially the face that was not good-looking, but now it seems that he has studied it, his face is covered with blood, and he is carrying a steel knife.

Who is not afraid of such a look, in the middle of the night?

After all, these soldiers were still bolder, recognized Li Chengdong, and hurriedly saluted him, all wanting to know some news over there.

Li Chengdong ignored them and strode inside.

This is Xing's sleeping tent, and outsiders, especially men, are not allowed to trespass without Gao Jie's order.

But Li Chengdong is an exception, he doesn't know how many times he has been to Xing's room, some Gao Jie knows, and some Gao Jie doesn't know.

He is Gao Jie's confidant and favorite general, right-hand man, and has a special status in the army.

However, when Gao Jie didn't know it, he entered Xing's sleeping tent, which was also very low-key.

Li Chengdong couldn't take care of it much now, and in the middle of the night, he came in straight in the middle of the night.

He would never have dared to be so presumptuous before.

But now when he looks at this posture, no one dares to stop him.

Li Chengdong suddenly broke in, but the maids inside were frightened, some screamed, some fell, and then they saw who it was.

"Get out of here, all of you!" Li Chengdong was unceremonious, as if he was the master here. When these maids saw that the momentum was not right, they all came out tremblingly, but they didn't dare to go far.

Xing Shi inside also heard that something was wrong, and turned over and sat up from the bed. I happened to see Li Chengdong coming in.

Xing was also taken aback, but after all, he was a martial artist, and he had been in the army for so many years, and he talked a lot about killing, and he was bold, and he recognized Li Chengdong at a glance.

This big beauty, her red little face was full of consternation: "Ah you? …… Commander Li, why are you here? Gao Jie: How are they? ”

"Oh, madam, it's urgent...... Li Chengdong briefly said the previous situation, the flowers in the situation are discolored, messed up, the husband's rebellion is now killed, and the sky is about to fall for a woman.

Li Chengdong whispered a few words in Mrs. Xing's ear.

Xing Shi forced herself to calm down, after all, saving her life was important, and she felt that this was the only way, so she hurriedly walked in the maid outside.

These maids were terrified.

Then he found a set of servants' clothes and Xing Shi changed them into. Then she took off her clothes and found a beautiful little maid for her to change into, and gave the maid gold and silver jewelry, and let them take the valuable things in the account as they pleased.

But these maids and maids now have a premonition that something is not good, and they are crying one by one.

Li Chengdong glared, clicked and cut down two, and the remaining maids were so frightened that they were schizophrenic, and some of them pulled a library and didn't dare to speak out anymore.

Xing only brought some gold and silver with him, and put on makeup to look like an ordinary person. At this time, it was Li Chengdong who also took off his military uniform and changed into the clothes of a servant.

Someone outside set up the car, and the little maid and two mothers-in-law in his new clothes were stuffed into the car, and the curtain was lowered, so that the group of generals outside protected the car and fled for their lives.

Now these generals also know that Gao Jie's troops are defeated and will die, and Lin Yi's men will soon come to them to settle accounts.

These soldiers and horses protect the maid and the woman, fleeing for their lives like a lost dog......

Of course, Li Chengdong and Xing didn't care about these people, Jin Cicada broke out of his shell, each brought a steel knife, and rushed out of the camp from the other direction.

As soon as the two of them went out, countless Ming troops drove to surround this large battalion, and then Xu Dingguo led people to launch a three-foot search overnight, and the carriage, the generals, and the maids and women were all controlled by the Ming army......

After leaving the camp, the streets were full of troops, and Li Chengdong and Xing did not dare to take the avenue, so they could only drill into the alleys, take the small paths, and hide in those abandoned ancient buildings, not daring to come out like rats.

But soon they found out that it was not safe either, because the Ming army was searching for them everywhere, and if they were blocked inside, it would be a dead end.

Li Chengdong thought of an idea, and two days later, at night, Li Chengdong and Xing came to the residential alley in the north of the city and chose a residence.

The two of them jumped on the wall, letting Xing lie on the wall to let the wind blow, and Li Chengdong fell and jumped into the courtyard with his legs floating.

This yard has a total of two courtyards, a total of 5 people, the front yard is a street shop, usually do some small business, but now these two days a war, the door is closed, there is no business, the old couple and son and daughter-in-law are young, and a three-year-old baby live in the backyard.

Li Chengdong jumped in and touched the thief's head and brain, and came to the backyard. The backyard is three upper rooms and three wings.

At this time, the lights were on in the upper room and the wing room, and Li Chengdong had just arrived at the window of the wing room and wanted to take a look inside, when suddenly the upper room door rang, and an old man came out of it.

Li Chengdong hurriedly hid, but he was still swept into the shadow by the old man, who was in his 50s and had good eyes.

"Who?"

"Me, old man, don't you even know me?"

Li Chengdong saw that he was discovered, and he couldn't hide, so he clenched the steel knife in his hand and put it behind him, promising to come to the old man.

Of course, the old man didn't know him, and it was Hei Tian who was staring at him, Li Chengdong was in front of his eyes, and the cold light flashed, and the old man screamed and fell in a pool of blood.

"What's wrong with you, old man?" The old man's wife was in the back room, and when he heard the sound outside, he thought that the old man had fallen, so he hurried out to see what was going on.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he didn't see what was going on, and Li Chengdong had already arrived in front of him.

Li Chengdong stretched out his hand and stuck the old woman's neck, and the old lady was suddenly attacked, and she couldn't shout when she stabbed her hands and feet.

The knife in Li Chengdong's right hand stabbed into the old lady's body at once, blood splattered in the dark, and the old lady's body was soft, Li Chengdong let go of her, and the body collapsed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, it was two lives.

However, the scene of Li Chengdong killing the old lady happened to be seen by the son and daughter-in-law of the West Wing.

The daughter-in-law was so frightened that she lost her pulse and collapsed to the ground.

My son is still a little bloody in his 20s. As soon as he saw the thief who had come, he had killed both of his parents, and he let him go.

took a kitchen knife from the kitchen, rushed out coldly, and got down to the black shadow in front of him, scolding and slashing wildly.

The young man really had a momentum, and this random slash really hit Li Chengdong. Li Chengdong had just finished killing someone, and he was unprepared for someone behind him, so he dodged left and right in a panic, but he was still stabbed.

This knife slashed to the back of the head, because the cut was missed, it was still a kitchen knife, this knife was okay to cut vegetables, but it was not so sharp when cutting people.

Therefore, this knife was not fatal, but it did not hurt Li Chengdong to death, and his face was covered with blood in the dark.

Li Chengdong gritted his teeth and swung over, and the poor young man screamed, fell in a pool of blood, and the kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Li Chengdong didn't understand his hatred and chased after him. He slashed at the young man on the ground more than a dozen times.

The pain in his head was unbearable, and he tore a piece of blood from the deceased and wrapped it around his head, feeling better. At this time, the lights in the wing room suddenly went out, but the cry of a child could be heard.

Li Chengdong carried a bloody steel knife and kicked the door open.

Lighting the fire sickle, he found that a woman inside was already shivering in a corner with her little son in her arms.

She covered the child's eyes, crying and shaking her head, but she couldn't say a word, which meant begging Li Chengdong to let him go and not kill them.

At this time, Li Chengdong was already mad, and when he saw that this young woman was still a little beautiful, he snatched the three-year-old child over after a while, and said with a hideous face: "If you want me to spare you, you can take off your clothes."

The woman had no choice but to endure the humiliation with tears in her eyes, and stripped off all her clothes, revealing her snow-white and crystal skin.

But this little son kept crying, and Li Chenglong stabbed him to the ground with a knife.

The woman saw her son lying in a pool of blood and screamed and threw herself at her son like crazy, and was pushed to the ground by Li Chengdong, but she struggled, and Li Chengdong nailed her to the ground with a knife, and the blood was wild.

At this time, Li Chengdong ignored it completely and took off his pants......

After Li Chengdong finished venting, he saw that the woman had already lost her breath.

Li Chengdong pulled out the knife, carried the blood-dripping steel knife inside and outside the courtyard again, went around the upper room and the side room, and found that there was indeed no one, and then went to the front yard to call Xing Shishi in.

The two men dug a big pit in the courtyard, buried all five bodies, and then the two of them lived in the backyard.

After three days, calm was restored in the city, and there was more business in the streets.

Xing has now become a housewife, but she still can't hide her beauty, which is enough to make Li Chengdong crazy.

After another cloud* rain, Xing asked Li Chengdong how long he wanted to stay here?

Li Chengdong's head was wrapped like a spindle, and he said that it would definitely be completed in the next two days, and when the two of them went out of the city, everything would be safe.

Xing nodded in agreement, and at this moment, suddenly there was a big chaos in the front yard, and a fierce slamming of the door sounded.

"Open the door, open the door quickly......"

The two of them froze on their faces, quickly took the steel knife in their hands, flashed behind the door, and looked out through the window.

Soon a group of Ming soldiers broke into the door, and the generals led by them were fully armored and straddling their waist swords, and Li Chengdong was frightened when he saw this person......
