As the night wore on, the small gathering in the pavilion had dispersed, and there was no one in the wilderness, and although the extinguished fire was still a little warm, there was no light in the fire. The fastest update This time Mao Wenlong and Li Dingguo's private meeting made both parties very satisfied, and they also had a deeper understanding of each other.

Heroes always sympathize with each other, and Li Dingguo's heroism and straightforwardness have left a good influence on Mao Wenlong. And Mao Wenlong's charm also left a lingering influence on Li Dingguo, for a moment, he felt that Mao Wenlong was a real decision-maker, if the Ming Dynasty was in charge by him, it might be much better than today's Chongzhen.

Early the next morning, Li Dingguo's eyeline came to report that the Japanese had gathered ten miles outside the city of Ningguofu. If nothing else, a surprise attack on Ningguofu City will be launched at any time after half a day.

Li Dingguo waved his hand back from the messenger, and then treated it indifferently, not worried about the arrival of the Japanese at all. His performance made Wu Chengen very anxious again: "General Li, do you have any way to deal with it?" ”

Li Dingguo held back his eyes at Wu Chengen, and said lightly: "No, we don't have to pay attention to the Japanese coquetts, naturally someone will give them a head-on blow." And all we have to do is to defend the city of Ningguofu and not let the Japanese invade the city. ”

Wu Chengen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he remembered that Li Dingguo went to make an appointment with Mao Wenlong last night. Although Wu Chengen doesn't know what Li Dingguo and Mao Wenlong talked about after they met, judging from Li Dingguo's confident performance at the moment, it is not difficult to guess that there must be something going on between the two.

Thinking of this, Wu Chengen's heart suddenly felt unhappy, Li Dingguo is now Chongzhen's person, and he must be on his side. However, Li Dingguo openly met with Mao Wenlong because of the Japanese affair, and also reached some unknown deeds, Wu Chengen had to wonder if Li Dingguo had been bought by Mao Wenlong. Or has Li Dingguo turned around and defected to Mao Wenlong?

No matter which path Li Dingguo chooses, it is not what Wu Chengen and Chongzhen are willing to see. Thinking of this, Wu Chengen suddenly felt a little anxious in his heart, he felt that it was necessary to report the situation here to Chongzhen truthfully and let him make up his mind.

In the afternoon, Li Dingguo personally climbed the city tower, and outside the north city gate, a dense army of Japanese invaders could already be seen stationed three miles away. Judging from the formation it has set up, the number of its soldiers and horses should be around 10,000.

With so many Japanese invaders, this is the first time Li Dingguo has seen that in the past, when the Japanese invaded the villages of the coastal people, the number of them generally did not exceed two hundred. And this time, there were about 10,000 Japanese invaders at once, which shows that he himself really angered the Japanese invaders.

In fact, the Japanese did not have so many soldiers and horses, and on their positions, it can be seen that more than half of them wore clothes that were different from the regular Japanese soldiers. And those people are actually horse gangs on land controlled by the Japanese invaders, who usually occupy the mountains on land as kings, rob money and grain and hand them over to the Japanese invaders.

And this time, Li Dingguo completely angered the Japanese Kou, and asked them to directly gather all the people nearby at any cost. In order to kill Li Dingguo, a thorn in the eye who does not take them as a widow. Only by killing Li Dingguo will the prestige of the Japanese robbers not be damaged, and those bandits who defected to them will continue to obediently submit to them.

"The Woko never attack a city directly, that's not their forte. General Ben wants to see how the Japanese will attack Ningguofu City this time? Li Dingguo put down the binoculars in his hand and showed a confident smile on his face.

In the observation just now, Li Dingguo did not find any siege equipment in the position of the Japanese invaders. How do they attack the city empty-handed, Li Dingguo is indeed very curious.

Although he looked down on these Japanese robbers in his heart, since the Japanese robbers dared to come and call out, if he didn't have two brushes under his hands, Li Dingguo obviously didn't believe it. Therefore, on the surface, he despised the Japanese invaders, but in terms of defense, he did not fall behind at all, and he was even much more rigorous than when defending against the attack of the Dongjiang Army.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The horn of attack suddenly fluttered over the position of the Japanese Kou, and the three thousand foot soldiers of the three phalanxes raised their spears and strode into the city of Ningguo with the horn of attack.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately ordered: "Prepare the archers, and after the Japanese invade the hundred steps, immediately release the arrows." ”

In the face of the Japanese who had never been at war, Li Dingguo had no foundation in his heart, so he did not dare to hold it up at all. He strictly followed the rules of the art of war to make any defense, and did not dare to exceed the slightest.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The sound of the life-threatening trumpet became more and more urgent, and the greater the pace of the march, the faster the advance was made. In the blink of an eye, the phalanx of the Japanese Kou had reached a distance of 100 steps outside the city of Ningguofu, which was within the range of the archery of Li Dingguo's subordinates.

Before the word "release ......" was issued, Li Dingguo was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw that the three thousand Japanese soldiers who had just rushed up actually stopped at a distance of 100 paces, and then they flashed countless muzzles of fire and gun.

"Boom ......"

There was no hesitation in the gunfire of the fire tong, and in the moment when Li Dingguo was stunned, he immediately shot.

In the roar of gunfire, countless bullets flew up the tower, and the unsuspecting archers immediately became targets. A single salvo caused numerous casualties among Li Dingguo's subordinates.

The cries immediately echoed over the towers, and the archers who were on the stand were immediately met head-on.

Li Dingguo's face was pale, then blackened and reddened, and he was angry and anxious, so he immediately ordered to fight back. The archers on the castle tower quickly returned fire as ordered, but they had long lost their previous momentum, and the bows and arrows shot out were scarce. And I saw that the bows and arrows on the castle tower did not seem to have the effect of killing the enemy when they stopped a hundred paces away.

"Boom ......"

No sooner had the bow and arrow attack passed, and the Japanese began to fight back again. This time, Li Dingguo did not do the previous time, he immediately ordered the whole army to hide behind the battlements, so that there were no more large-scale casualties.

However, this seems to be what the Japanese invaders want, and when Li Dingguo and the others were hiding, the Japanese army immediately made new moves. More than 1,000 would-be pirates suddenly crossed the fire gun array, and threw flying hooks in their hands towards the city wall.

A rope ladder was attached to the back of the hook, and it was clear that this was a great weapon used by the Japanese to attack the city. The continuous gunfire of the fire system continued to suppress Li Dingguo and them, so that they did not dare to fight back, and most of the Japanese who threw the hook frame to build rope ladders had been completed during this period.
