"You mean Sun Yuanhua and they took the bait?" In the camp tent, Kong Youde, who had not slept all night, waited until Zou Hai came back to report the news.

"Yes, Kong Shuai. Sun Yuanhua took the bait, but it was not that there was no one who understood, and the chief soldier Zhang Keda was very opposed to letting us into the city. ”

"But fortunately, Sun Yuanhua, a nerd, didn't listen to Zhang Keda's advice, but assigned Zhang Keda directly to Shuicheng to guard." Zou Hai told the story of what happened in the city in detail.

"That's not strange. Sun Yuanhua, a scholar, naturally thought that things on the battlefield were simpler. ”

"Zhang Keda is a good general of Shandong refugees, and this time Sun Yuan himself assigned his good generals to Shuicheng, which can be regarded as clearing the obstacles for us." When Kong Youde heard the news of Zou Hai's return, he happily walked around the tent and couldn't sit down.

"In this way, I will continue to attack the city tomorrow to confuse Sun Yuanhua, and when you wait until the evening, you will proceed as planned, enter the city, secretly connect our brothers, and prepare to welcome us into the city." Kong Youde is also impatient, thinking that tomorrow will come soon.

……

On the second day, Kong Youde, just like the first day, was under the city wall of Dengzhou, ready to attack the city.

And the defenders on Dengzhou City no longer have the tension of yesterday, but are more calm and confident to watch the enemy troops under the city assemble.

Kong Youde's side also firmly believes that the child can't be caught by the wolf, today's siege battle, although Kong Youde is a play, but he has also made a lot of money, and he is still 5,000 foot soldiers under his command, carrying all kinds of siege equipment to carry out a serious siege.

This time, Li Jiucheng was still standing far behind the siege array, commanding the siege from afar.

Many of Kong Youde's soldiers have vivid memories of yesterday's siege, and they are also a little resistant and afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the military order was like a mountain, and they could only bite the bullet and carry the door panel that was dismantled nearby, hoping to protect themselves from being hit by artillery.

"Woo ......" After both sides of the war had deployed their troops, the horn of the attack came from Kong Youde's Chinese army.

"Hurry up, all move, ready to attack the city, Kong Shuai said, which of you can be the first to attack the city wall, Kong Shuai will mention it in a row, and reward a hundred taels of gold. Li Jiucheng was behind the big formation, riding on a horse, urging back and forth to inspire the soldiers to charge.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

Hearing such a high reward from Kong Youde, these people only thought about the gold and high official position of Huang Cancan, who was loved by everyone.

"Brothers, the siege is coming." I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and thousands of soldiers also began to muster up the courage to slowly approach the city wall.

However, what awaited them was still the cannon port of the black hole in the city wall.

From the moment the rebels came into range, the artillery on the walls began to roar incessantly.

Suddenly, the crackling sound of cannons and the screams of mourning all over the field played a war symphony under the city of Dengzhou.

"The enemy is within a mile range. "Lu Weiluo was also calmly commanding the artillery team at this time, and bombarded the rebels who entered the effective killing range under the city.

The shells fired by the Francophone were all in pieces, like a goddess scattering flowers.

The rebels at the front were either killed by the rubble in the artillery fire, or they hid behind the door panel, and their hands were numb from the shells falling on the door panel.

This time, Kong Youde also pretended to be very similar, even if he endured huge casualties, he never spit out the order to retreat.

Finally, after enduring the indiscriminate bombardment of unknown theories, some soldiers finally came to the city and set up ladders to be the first soldiers to climb the city wall.

After setting up the ladder, the soldiers scrambled to climb up one by one.

However, on the city wall, the burning hot oil and gold juice have been waiting for the rebels to climb the ladder, and at the moment when the ladder is on the city wall, the defenders on the city wall have spilled the hot oil and gold juice.

"Ahh The rebels who were splashed all fell from the ladder.

After falling off the city wall, even if you don't fall to your death, you will die of painful festering because the hot wound cannot be treated.

Money is good, official positions are wonderful, but if there is no life, it becomes meaningless.

The falling accomplices reminded every rebel that this Dengzhou city was not so easy to conquer.

This time it was the same, the rebels who had been attacking for a long time and had no hope of attacking finally broke up in large swaths after someone took the lead.

When Kong Youde saw this, he could be regarded as having finished watching this warm-up drama, and the next night's drama was the focus of Kong Youde's attention.

……

In the evening, the selected hundreds of people, after a short lecture, led by Zou Hai, quietly moved towards the city wall.

Familiar with the road, Zou Hai came to the city wall again, but the difference is that yesterday there was only Zou Hai himself, and today Zou Hai is followed by a full 300 rebels.

"Is Master Sun here?" Zou Hai asked as he walked towards the city.

"Zou Hai, this official is here, are you doing well?" Sun Yuanhua has also been waiting on the city wall for a long time.

"My lord, everything is going well, what I brought this time are brothers who are dedicated to adults, please open the city gate quickly." Zou Hai shouted to Sun Yuanhua with a pleading voice.

"Zou Hai, don't panic, I'll let you come up." Sun Yuanhua hurriedly appeased Zou Hai.

After speaking, Sun Yuanhua waved his hand, and saw hundreds of explanation baskets thrown out of the city wall.

"Zou Hai, in order to be careful that Kong Youde, the thief, secretly follows you, so this is a strategy, you will go down and go to the city quickly." Sun Yuanhua explained to Zou Hai and the others.

When Zou Hai saw this formation, he also understood that Sun Yuanhua was still a little vigilant, and it was really difficult for him to think of such a method.

However, Zou Hai didn't come to steal the city at this time, so they didn't care about such a way of entering the city.

"Lord Xie is thoughtful." Zou Hai saluted Sun Yuanhua with his fists in the city, and then the first one sat in the frame, pulled the rope, and motioned for the city soldiers to pull him up.

So the soldiers in the city took great pains to pull the 300 "anyway" rebels under the city to the city.

"I'll thank Lord Sun again for saving his life, and I will go to the soup and fire in the future." The hundreds of people who pulled up knelt down in front of Sun Yuanhua one after another, crying and howling to show their loyalty.

"Okay, it's good to come back, it's windy at night in the city, you can go down to the city to rest, there is a rest camp prepared for you in the city." Sun Yuanhua nodded, helped Zou Hai and the others up, and then arranged their accommodation with a smile.

"Thank you, sir." Zou Hai and the others also wanted to go into the city to connect them well, so they no longer talked to Sun Yuanhua in the city.

When he walked down the city wall, Zou Hai saw that the door hole and under the city wall were full of soldiers defending the city.

"This Sun Yuanhua, the place where the heart and eyes should not grow is not long, and the place where the heart and eyes should not grow blindly." Zou Hai sneered, and followed the guided soldiers to the resting place. Baidu: The latest chapter of "The Ups and Downs of the Late Ming Dynasty" is free to read for the first time.
