Chapter 438: Defeat (3)

He Renlong in Bozhou City waited until all the rebel troops entered the granary, and then he led his troops to surround it. In order to avoid the spread of the battlefield in the city and bring unnecessary sacrifices or losses to the people in the city, he can only do this.

Moreover, unlike Chen Qiyu, who can attack directly with fire in the city, He Renlong has no other way but to use bows and arrows and muskets. Then there is the real knife and real gun, which is far more tragic than the battlefield outside the city.

He Renlong was covered in blood, and the saber in his hand flew up and down, worthy of being a general under Chen Qiyu, a saber was almost invincible. The rebels on the battlefield did not have his unanimous enemy.

Since the third child found out that he had been tricked, he led his troops to break through the back door, but unfortunately the Dongjiang army had already sealed the granary. Bows and arrows and muskets directly blocked the back door, and the third man rushed several times, but failed to rush out.

However, he directly lost nearly a thousand people, and he realized that he couldn't continue to do it like this, so he turned around and fought He Renlong who rushed in. Nearly 10,000 people are fighting in the small granary, which creates a good opportunity for the third child.

Due to the lack of space, there are not many people on both sides huddled together to fight at one time, only about 1,000 people. In this way, the advantage of He Renlong's large number of people directly caused it to be invisible.

After the third child found out about this situation, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, and seemed to see the hope of breaking through. However, the combat power of the Dongjiang Army is indeed extraordinary, although the rebel army that came to sneak attack was a well-selected elite soldier, but it was still not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army, and it was defeated and retreated.

In particular, He Renlong's bravery is particularly dazzling among a group of Dongjiang troops. The third child saw him in an instant, and the reason was very simple when he captured the thief and captured the king first. The third child immediately gave a dozen of his relatives a look, and then more than a dozen people quietly approached He Renlong.

He Renlong, who was killing the enemy and was enjoying it, suddenly felt a strong wind attacking beside him, he didn't dare to slack off, he immediately turned around, and the saber in his hand swept out.

"Ding!"

The two broadswords collided with each other, and sporadic sparks immediately appeared.

The third child only felt that the arm holding the knife was slightly numb, and the big knife in his hand almost fell to the ground. With just one move, the third child knew that he was not He Renlong's opponent.

He Renlong's fierce gaze was projected on the third child's body, and he immediately realized that this person was extraordinary, at least he should be a leader.

He Renlong hesitated slightly, and two more fierce winds struck, and the third child also rushed up laughing. Two fists are hard to beat four legs, He Renlong didn't dare to go down, he rolled directly on the ground with his low body, avoiding the attacks of several people.

When he got up again, he immediately found that there were about a dozen people besieging him. He Renlong's face did not have the slightest fear, but his eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of bloodthirsty eyes.

"Look at the knife!" A loud shout erupted from the mouth of the congratulatory dragon.

He did not retreat but advanced, swung his knife and rushed straight up, and two rings of gold and iron sounded in a row.

He Renlong and the two third guards' guards staggered by, and two pillars of blood splattered out behind him. Subsequently, the two third guards' guards fell to the ground and died in a pool of blood.

The third child's eyelids kept jumping, he looked carefully just now, and the two guards were stabbed almost at the same time. And it was at the fatal neck, the general in front of him actually had such skills, and the third man suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"Let's go up and kill him." The third didn't dare to be careless, he shouted, and swung his sword at He Renlong with the rest of the people.

Although He Renlong is more impulsive and belligerent, he is not stupid in the face of life and death. Knowing that he was invincible, several people joined forces to attack. Naturally, he didn't dare to go up to kill the enemy again, only to see He Renlong suddenly turn around and run back to the camp of the Dongjiang Army.

The third child just rushed up and prepared to fight to the death with He Renlong. Unexpectedly, He Renlong, who had been fearless of death from the beginning, suddenly flinched, and everyone was in a trance, and He Renlong had already rushed up again with more than a dozen personal guards.

He Renlong was menacing, and the third child and the others immediately felt cold, and they no longer had the previous arrogance and courage. Several people turned around and ran away in unison, not even daring to make a move with He Renlong.

"Little thief, don't run." He Renlong chased after him with a knife, and he kept cursing in his mouth.

The third child and the others don't care about He Renlong's scolding, it is important to escape at this time.

Seeing that the third child and the others had quickly fled back to their own positions, He Renlong did not dare to rush in rashly, so he could only rush forward with the rest of the Dongjiang army.

The fight in the granary lasted for more than half an hour, and it was not until Chen Qiyu returned with his troops that He Renlong was able to calm down the fight.

"He Renlong, what's going on inside?" Chen Qiyu was outside the granary, and watched the gray-faced He Renlong walk out with cold eyes.

Seeing Chen Qiyu's arrival, He Renlong immediately cheered up and hurriedly stepped forward to reply: "General Qiyu, the fighting has been quelled inside, killing more than 5,000 enemies and capturing more than 4,000 people. ”

Chen Qiyu frowned: "What about the casualties of our army?" ”

He Renlong hesitated for a moment and said, "More than 3,000 people were killed and wounded......

Chen Qiyu's face sank, and he suddenly flew up and kicked over without warning: "Bastard, why are there so many casualties?" ”

"General, my subordinates are also forced to be helpless, this is in the city, and they are considering not letting these people spread in the city or endanger the safety of the people in the city. The subordinates can only seal them up in this granary, and then fight them with real knives and guns. He Renlong didn't dare to be the slightest slack, he explained to Chen Qiyu as soon as possible.

Chen Qiyu's face softened a little after hearing this, but his tone was still cold: "No matter what your purpose is, you will never be able to escape the casualties of the soldiers. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and this matter will be settled with you afterwards. ”

After Chen Qiyu finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and left on his own, leaving He Renlong with a bitter face. Fortunately, he also knew that Chen Qiyu would not really blame himself, and He Renlong felt a little comforted in his heart.

Chen Qiyu returned to the palace and immediately wrote a battle report and ordered someone to send it to Mao Wenlong quickly. And he himself did not sit idle, and after dealing with the rebel army in Xuzhou, the next thing was to directly send troops to Nanjing.

Early the next morning, Chen Qiyu hurriedly gathered 50,000 troops in Bozhou City, led by He Renlong, and directly attacked Nanjing. These 50,000 people are the vanguard, and later, Chen Qiyu gathered another 50,000 Dongjiang troops, and then he will follow.

It's only been a day, and Li Zicheng's side hasn't known about Yingshanjian's failure at all. Li Zicheng was still anxiously waiting for their arrival at Yingshanjian, however, soon Li Zicheng received news that the Dongjiang Army suddenly appeared on the border of Nanjing, and there were quite a few of them.
