Dengzhou City, where soldiers and horses gathered, has been waiting for war or peace.

"Kong Shuai, after these days of fighting, our troops have not only not decreased, but have become stronger."

"Kong Shuai, we now have 15,000 infantry troops and 3,000 horse troops, ready to listen to Kong Shuai's orders at any time." Li Jiucheng reported to Kong Youde in front of the battle.

"Okay, get the brethren ready." Kong Youde nodded with satisfaction and said.

At this time, Sun Yuanhua's voice came from the city wall of Dengzhou. "Please ask General Kong Youde under the city to come out and talk about it."

When Kong Youde heard this, he looked up at the city wall.

"Kong Youde is here." Kong Youde shouted loudly towards the city wall.

Seeing Kong Youde talking below, Sun Yuanhua couldn't sit still, and immediately shouted to Kong Youde in person.

"Youde, I'm Sun Yuanhua. I asked you to go north to support the border army, even if you make any mistakes, you shouldn't break the jar and be a thief. Sun Yuanhua still expressed the complaint in his heart.

"Lord Sun, I'm really sorry, we all know that you are a good official, we Liao used to live with Mao Shuai, but Mao Shuai was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, a traitor, if I hadn't been taken in by Lord Sun at that time, we don't know how many people would have starved to death in Liaodong."

"But one yard is one yard, although Lord Sun is a good official, but up to the imperial court, down to the local officials and people, they all treat us as outsiders, beggars, and stray dogs, and we are discriminated against, bullied, and suppressed."

"This time, I obeyed Lord Sun's military orders and galloped to the north, along the way, the soldiers were not well fed and clothed, and some soldiers finally couldn't help but steal the people's things, I punished the soldiers, but the soldiers finally couldn't bear it, and I could only comply with the soldiers' calls and raise troops to resist today's unfairness." Many of what Kong Youde said are also true, and when it comes to it, Kong Youde also recalls those painful experiences, and he can't help crying while talking, looking like a victim.

Sun Yuanhua also listened to it, and seemed to feel that he was guilty and a little ashamed.

"Youde, I know that you are forced to do so, everything is still to be discussed, as long as you put down the blade, I will write to the court to clarify the reason to the emperor, I believe that the emperor will definitely spare you and other sins." Sun Yuanhua was there again.

"Lay down your arms? Can you be exonerated from sin? I'm afraid that if I just lay down my weapon, it won't be long before I will be settled by the Autumn Queen. ”

"Lord Sun, don't waste your tongue anymore, if Lord Sun opens the door to welcome me and wait in, you can also avoid a sword and a disaster, if you resist to the end, it is inevitable that the sword will have no eyes, and the jade will be burned." Kong Youde also had a showdown and did not surrender.

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he also felt a burst of despair, and it seemed that this battle was inevitable.

So he fell and then retreated, and no longer engaged in a war of words.

Seeing that Sun Yuanhua no longer spoke on the city wall, Kong Youde also retreated to the army and prepared to command the army to attack the city.

"Pass on my commander's order, ninety percent, you personally lead the infantry army of 5,000, as the vanguard of the army to attack the city, be sure to take Dengzhou City, after taking Dengzhou City, I will reward all the soldiers." Kong Youde announced the order to siege the city.

"You have to order, Kong Shuai rest assured, watch me capture Dengzhou for Kong Shuai, and let Kong Shuai drink a few cups inside." Li Jiucheng also said arrogantly.

After finishing speaking, Li Jiucheng ordered 5,000 infantry troops, carrying all kinds of siege equipment built over time, and making final preparations before the siege.

The defenders on the city wall saw that Lord Sun failed to persuade him to surrender, and saw the continuous movement of the army under the city, so they knew that the battle was about to start, and they also kept putting the rolling stones in place, and set up a cauldron to burn the oil.

Finally, after the two sides put on a full posture, the war is also on the verge of breaking out.

"Brothers, take out the majesty we had in Liaodi and Phi Island back then, let this group of raw soldiers in Shandong who have never seen a war go to war, and see how our Liao soldiers fight." Li Jiucheng licked his lips and clamored for his soldiers.

"Roar, let them see how good we are, and see if they can deduct our food." The other soldiers also shouted angrily, wanting to vent their grievances of lack of food and clothing in Shandong after leaving their hometown.

"Attack." Kong Youde saw that his morale had been baked, so he waved his hand and issued a military order to attack.

"Roar, roar, roar." The Liao soldiers, under the leadership of Li Jiucheng, began to carry the ladder to the city wall.

These Liao soldiers have been in war for a long time and are used to licking blood from the knife edge, and this kind of siege battle will not make them too excited for them now.

They calmly held the sword in their hands, carrying the cloud ladder that had just been built on their shoulders, thinking about breaking the reward of Dashuai Kong after breaking Dengzhou, and for a while they felt that they were back in a trance when they followed Mao Shuai to attack the coastal cities of the Jin Army from the shore of Phi Island, but this time it was their own Ming brothers who were waiting for the city.

At this time, Xilao Jing and other Franco-machine people also went to the head of the city and participated in this war, preparing to bombard the rebels under the city with artillery.

"Oh God, so many rebels are coming to us under the city, may God give me strength." The Sylao Sutra drew a cross and muttered in his mouth.

After drawing the cross, the Xilao Sutra began to concentrate on the adjustment of the artillery, and there are now hundreds of artillery pieces of various types placed in the city, and the Ming soldiers who have been well trained in artillery are also doing the final adjustment of the artillery.

"Alright, let's test fire." After adjusting the Xilao Sutra, one of the red-coated cannons in the city, it was decided to test fire a cannon first.

The soldiers who heard the order did not slack off, and immediately lit the fuse of the artillery.

"Boom, knock." After a loud bang, a solid bullet shot out nearly two miles away, and smashed into Li Jiucheng's formation impartially.

Although the solid bullet does not have a large killing range of the flowering bullet, it is also very powerful, and the bullet grazed a soldier who was carrying a ladder, and the soldier lost an arm in an instant, and the bullet was undiminished and smashed three people one after another before it stopped.

"Ahh A bitter cry came.

"Damn, it seems that the cannon in the city really can't be underestimated."

"Tell the brethren to start picking up the speed and stop being stunned and get a few more rounds of shelling." Kong Youde naturally knew that there was artillery in the city, but they fought with the Jin army before, and the Jin army was in short supply of artillery, so naturally they had not suffered much from artillery.

On the city wall, after the test cannon, the satisfied Xilaojing immediately lowered the remaining seven red-coated cannons on this side of the city and opened fire.

For a while, the roar of artillery on the city wall rang out one after another.

A round of red-coated cannons fired a salvo, except for two that deviated, the others all hit the enemy formation steadily, stirring up the enemy for a while.

Of course, such a high artillery hit rate is also inseparable from the training of this group of Franc robots.
