In order to strengthen the defense, Liu Zhengfeng made a lot of horse-repellent horses and wooden tribulus bones at the city gate in advance, which were originally placed outside the city to prevent the Yuan army from attacking, but now they are all placed in the city by Mingxiong to block the Yuan army. Fortunately, the Yuan army that entered the city in the early stage had few bows and arrows, although there was a big difference in the number of men and horses on both sides, but on this not very wide street, no matter how many men and horses could not be used, there were only fifty or sixty people fighting each other on the confrontation line.

Several anxious Yuan soldiers wanted to refuse to climb over immediately, they brandished their swords and guns to remove the weapons on this side, howled, with the help of their companions' squatting bodies, stepped on the shoulders of their companions and stepped on the stakes, jumped hard, and jumped into the opponents one after another, Mingxiong did not say a word, drew his sword forward, and personally fought with him.

The first person in the Yuan army was a brand head, tall and broad-shouldered, with a big waist and a round waist, dancing a steel knife in his hand, and before his body landed, he volleyed down two opponents and won a foothold for several Yuan troops behind.

Mingxiong's steel knife slashed obliquely, like thunder, running to the neck of this pawn, the man was proud, glimpsed the knife shadow flying over, startled, quickly raised the knife to meet the frame, in an instant, the two knives flew up and down, ping pong hit each other eight or nine times, and the steel knife hit countless sparks.

Mingxiong was a little anxious, the knife in his hand became more and more sick, and his body moved like a goshawk fighting a tiger, the head of the brand was known as a hero in the army with a brave body, and he also had some martial arts. After all, his martial arts skills are limited, and the competition between the two armies is mainly based on a sharp spirit, which is not as good as Mingxiong's immersion in martial arts for more than ten years.

Seeing a flaw in his opponent, Mingxiong exhaled and opened his voice, from top to bottom, slashing Huashan, hitting the opponent's shoulders on both sides several times, forcing the pawn to twist his body to block and dodge left and right. He was already tall and big, and his body posture was inevitably a little out of balance in his eagerness. Mingxiong took the opportunity to slash down, his wrist forced, the blade was close to the opponent's steel knife, and he vigorously wrapped and twisted, causing the opponent's steel knife to involuntarily slide outward, revealing a flaw in the middle.

With a brush, Mingxiong quickly slashed on his neck, the knife passed through the blood, and the head of the brand covered his neck with one hand, but the splashed blood gushed from his fingers, and his body lost strength and gradually fell to the ground.

Mingxiong had already bypassed him, and together with his subordinates, he cut down several pawns who jumped over together just now, restoring the situation just now where the two armies were fighting each other across horses.

After these Yuan soldiers were killed, most of the Yuan soldiers behind them lost their color, and they no longer dared to follow the brand, and they also became shy when facing Mingxiong.

However, after a stick of incense, nearly 100 people have been killed and injured on the street, but some of the rejected horses have also been destroyed and removed by the Yuan army, thus revealing some gaps, especially the Yuan army that has detoured from both sides has begun to appear on the two wings of the Shuntian army, and the two sides are even more chaotic.

Mingxiong looked at the situation and knew that he had begun to lose his geographical advantage by continuing to entangle and block here, so he shouted loudly and ordered to slowly retreat and withdraw to the city gate thirty paces later.

The city gate was open for a hundred paces, and Mingxiong had already placed a circle of rejection horses in front of him, and once again arranged it into a simple defensive formation.

Mingxiong abandoned the steel knife that had several gaps, and took a spear from his own guard, so that everyone would not retreat by relying on the obstacles. There were more than 40 archers on the city wall, and they condescended to shoot arrows at the vanguard of the Yuan army. The Yuan army continued to pursue and charge with shields, and was bound to take this city gate in one fell swoop.

Many soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city wall, trying to break through the obstacles along the side of the city wall, and climb the stairs to the city wall, but they were faced with a pile of rocks falling down, and they were smashed to the point where the ghost cried wolf, and the bones were broken and the tendons were broken, and they had to retreat. There are many large stones on this city wall for defense, as long as the Yuan army is close to the throwing range, it is to usher in a stone rain.

The Yuan army was in a hurry, urging all the troops to move forward desperately, and then ordered the concentrated archers to counterattack, and the arrows on both sides came and went, and each side suffered casualties.

The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty were either busy moving obstacles, or fighting with the Shuntian army before rejecting the horses. In the melee, many Yuan troops suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. It's normal to fall a few people, but it's quite weird to fall down one after another, and Qianhu took a closer look at the light of countless torches, and there were all green bricks paved here, and I don't know what it was on the ground, giving off a faint fragrance, and stepping on it was slippery.

"It's oil!" Qianhu just flashed in his mind, and suddenly saw dozens of rockets shooting down from the city wall, and the Yuan army below saw the rockets coming, so they naturally dodged one after another, but the rockets landed, and they actually ignited pieces of fire, forming a sea of fire several zhang wide and more than ten zhang long along the outside of the rejection horse a few steps away!

The fire was so rapid and loud that the robes of many pawns on the street were soon burned, and the pawns were so startled that they wailed and jumped, and ignited some of their companions around them. From time to time, many altars and jars were thrown from the top of the city, which contained the contents of the fire oil, and when the containers were broken, the fire oil splashed and flowed everywhere, causing even greater flames.

Injured by the flames, all the Yuan troops retreated one after another, the fire became bigger and bigger, the flames were more than one person high, and the heat wave was scorching, and they did not dare to walk through the fire area on foot.

It turned out that Mingxiong had dumped dozens of barrels of fire oil on the outside in advance, and when he retreated, he dumped part of the prepared fire oil behind him, and after using the rejection horse to attract a large number of Yuan troops to entangle on the outside, he then burned them with rockets, which could not only burn the Yuan soldiers but also temporarily stop his attack.

Hundreds of Yuan troops crowded a hundred steps away from the city gate, helpless to watch the flames rising in front of them, and the subordinates who wanted to detour from both sides of the city wall were also repelled by the stones. The Yuan army was so anxious that they jumped to their feet, this delay was at least a pillar of incense, and they heard the sound of fighting in the city rearing in the rear, if they couldn't capture the city gate before the thieves came with reinforcements, I am afraid that tonight's battle for the city will be overwhelmed! As for Daru Huachi in the army, his face was even more pale, and he kept urging him to attack as soon as possible.

Afraid of something, through the raging fire and the wide open city gate, the Yuan army could already faintly see countless people and horses outside the city rushing towards the city.

In the dark field outside the city, Ji Xiancheng personally led more than 1,000 soldiers to rush to the camp of Wan Jinhai and Xiahou.

After the Yuan army began to launch, the scouts of the Jing'an army outside the city and the patrol soldiers of each team found out one after another and immediately reported back to Ji Xiancheng. Ji Xiancheng quickly summoned Chang Zhi, Luo Cheng, Hou Ying, Sun Xing, etc., and told them all the news, because there was a military order that could not be disarmed in the early stage, the non-commissioned officers in the battalion were soon armed with knives and guns, and they were ready to go.

"Order Captain Sun Xing Sun to lead a section to the south city gate to support, drive out the Tartars in the city, the south city gate must not be lost! After arriving, everything listened to the general's dispatch. ”

"General Luo led the headquarters to Wan and Xiahou to attack the enemy army!"

"Gao Shang, high school lieutenant, immediately gather all the personnel of your department, all carry weapons, and stay in the camp for the time being, to ensure that the large battalion is not lost, and be ready to respond at any time as a reserve!"

"Master Fang, now that the Yuan army is attacking, its target has not yet reached the military dependents of the various departments outside the city, and I also ask Master Fang to quickly organize the evacuation of the people outside the city, as for the young and strong, they will gather together, enter the camp and stand by, and temporarily under the command of the senior lieutenant."

"This general will lead a part to block the north city gate, all the kings, General Meng Fei trusts, we are shouldering the burden of Linqu's safety, and this is the time to kill the enemy! Gentlemen, work hard! ”

Everyone in the tent saluted and said: "But if you are sent, dare not obey your orders!" Then they went out of their accounts, lit their departments, lit torches, and rushed to their respective targets.

The two fire dragons went from the Jing'an army camp to the south of the city and the north of the city, and at this time the war had started, and there was no need for the troops to hide at night. The two teams lit torches and flew away in the night.

Ji Xiancheng is brave and wise, and he has a city government in his heart, when he was in the mountains, Yu Zhilong had ordered him and Zhao Shi to quietly behead all the soldiers of the Meng Righteous Army who were unwilling to surrender in the hidden places of the mountain pass, this matter is not only unknown to outsiders, but also unknown to many people in the Jing'an Army.

These dirty jobs are not good for Zhilong to come forward in person, but Ji Xiancheng is a suitable candidate.

Since being subsumed under Yu Zhilong's account, the two have had the opportunity to talk many times. Ji Xiancheng was able to know Yu Zhilong's mood and ambition more deeply than others.

Liu Zhengfeng is ambitious and talented, and the gap between him and Yu Zhilong is getting bigger and bigger, and there is gradually a sense of constraint. Yu Zhilong, because of his shallow initial prestige, although the Jing'an Army was the strongest, temporarily restrained his edge for the sake of the overall situation, and was careful to make friends with the generals. After the victory in Linqu, the mutual suspicion between the two is doubtful in the eyes of those who have a heart.

Since Liu Zhengfeng can't support the wall with the mud, and he has no deep friendship with himself, Ji Xiancheng, Qian Zheng and others can't help but have ideas.

Previously, Ji Xiancheng had quietly probed Zhao Shi's tone in private for this matter. Zhao Shi listened to it and stood for a long time, and finally came up with a sentence: The enemy is currently inappropriate! Do this with caution, out of your mouth, into my ears, and never spread the word!

Fortunately, Zhilong finally made up his mind this time, secretly planned to do his thing, and simply completely resolved the contradiction with Liu Zhengfeng. Zhao Shi and Ji Xiancheng naturally have no words.

The attack of the Yidu Yuan army was within the expectations of Zhilong, Zhao Shi, Ji Xiancheng and others, after all, it was impossible for Yu Zhilong and others to hide from the enemy and me for many days when they went south, according to the pre-war deduction, as long as Linqu City could hold on for four to five days, Yu Zhilong and others could solve the camp of the Southern Yuan army, and then rush back to the rescue.

If you don't take more military horses with you, how can you strengthen the determination of the Yuan army to attack quickly?

If the strength of the Shuntian Army does not decrease and the battle situation does not appear critical, how can Liu Zhengfeng have an accident?

Speaking of which, how to grasp this degree really made it difficult for Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi, and the strength of Linqu's soldiers could not be greatly weakened, otherwise they would not be able to hold on for a few days. After thinking about it, the two decided to take about 2,000 soldiers and horses, as for Liu Zhengfeng, he was not at ease, worried that Yu Zhilong would never return, or he would be proud of his miraculous achievements, so he specially ordered Yu Shichang to follow, but it was just to accompany monitoring and share merit.

Zhao Shi was willing to ask himself to stay, but Yu Zhilong considered it again and again, and still asked him to accompany him, one of the southern contacts still needed Zhao Shi to go out in person, and the other did not want Linqu to change in case of a change, which would dirty Zhao Shi's name

In case this matter is exposed afterwards, this black cauldron should be carried by Ji Xiancheng

Since Ji Xiancheng is willing to give the order, it means that he has an awareness in his heart, this is an opportunity and a challenge, he knows that he is close to each other, and he can't compare to the intimacy between Zhao Shi and Yu Zhilong in any case, but since Yu Zhilong chose him as the main general left behind, it means that Ji Xiancheng has entered the inner circle around Yu Zhilong.

Now there is a night attack by the Yuan army, and the situation inside and outside the city is urgent. Let's look at my methods! Ji Xiancheng was secretly chattering at this time.
