"Father. :乐:文:3.し." Zuo Mengeng took two personal soldiers over and saluted Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu looked at his son and found that he was not injured, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Stay behind"

Zuo Mengeng reminded: "Father be careful, their cannon can fight two hundred steps." ”

"I know" Zuo Liangyu finally scolded: "Reckless people start a war without knowing anything, and they don't know how to die"

Zuo Mengeng didn't dare to say anything more, and obediently went to the back.

After waiting for a long time, the cavalry drove back the panicked foot soldiers from all over the place, of course, far away from Huang Desheng's barracks.

Before these infantry troops could be reorganized, Li Mu came to the front with 5,000 troops. When his troops were three miles away from here, they formed a hollow phalanx and slowly moved over to guard against being attacked by Zuo Liangyu's cavalry troops.

Li Mou stopped a mile away from Huang Desheng's military camp and confronted Zuo Liangyu's troops. Both sides remained silent, did not shout and did not send messengers.

When Zuo Liangyu finally organized the infantry army again, and the officer found the soldiers, he found that in just half an hour, the casualties of his troops reached 1,000. This is still not in pursuit, if the cavalry is sent, it will not be the whole army

After a while, Li Yan also came over with his troops. However, it is strange that Li Yan took 10,000 troops and went directly to the northeast corner of Kaifeng City.

It was the site where Li Zicheng had blown a large hole in the city wall, and tens of thousands of people were clearing the masonry and dirt there, preparing to repair this section of the wall later. Grain and wages were all paid by the government, the royal palaces, and the wealthy merchants and gentry. Before the thieves were eliminated, their net worth and lives were tied to the solidity of Kaifeng City, and no one was willing to pay if they didn't pay.

"Hey, what is this for," Chen Yongfu said puzzled. After that, he took his soldiers and went to the eastern wall.

When he passed, he heard Li Yan's soldiers under the city shouting: "Listen to the people in front, the city wall here is about to collapse, you should leave quickly."

Chen Yongfu was a little ignorant, although the city wall was only more than a foot thick, there was no sign of collapse at all. And the soldiers and artillery on it are all there, so there's no problem.

The people who cleaned up the masonry also didn't know why, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Yan's troops.

Li Yan saw that the shouting had no effect, and the people were still standing still, so he ordered: "Hit one shot first, and hit the edge of the big pit." ”

After receiving Li Yan's order, the artillerymen immediately adjusted the direction and adjusted the muzzle of the cannon to the highest to prevent injury to the people in front.

With a "boom", the iron bullet flew towards the city wall. There was a "bang", and the iron bullet smashed on the city wall. Immediately afterwards, there was a "bang", several bricks of the city were shattered, the rubble was splashed, and the loess inside was also poured down.

"Oops, it's a war, run"

"Opened fire, rebelled"

"It's besieging the city again, run."

The people were stunned for a moment when they saw the city wall being shelled, and then immediately shouted indiscriminately and fled in all directions. Some fled directly into the city gates, while others ran to the sides.

Li Yan ordered: "Aim at that big pit, if the city dares to attack, fire cannons"

The artillerymen quickly arranged the artillery, and some of the artillerymen were digging pits, and the elevation angle of their guns was not enough, so they needed to put the brackets lower to achieve the purpose of raising the elevation angle of the artillery. They assigned two guns to bombard the bottom of the pit in the city wall, and the other two to bombard the top of the pit to destroy the structure above, so as not to form an arch like a hole in the city gate.

"Close the city gate and prepare for defense," Chen Yongfu ordered loudly with a trill. He didn't expect that Li Yan would break the idea of opening the lockdown. And there happens to be such a flaw here that gives Li Yan a chance. If Li Yan rushed into Kaifeng City, he would still have good fruits to eat

But most of the soldiers were resting elsewhere, and it was not easy to survive until the thieves retreated, so they naturally wanted to relax, and who knew that they were all happy there now.

He felt that there was something wrong with the first order, so he immediately ordered his own soldiers: "Go and tell them quickly, without an order, you are not allowed to fire arrows, you are not allowed to fire cannons, and you are not allowed to make loud noises."

After a while, Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng finally appeared. They called open the east gate and came to Li Yan's army with their own soldiers and servants.

Li Yan didn't go out to greet the salutes, nor did he send people out, so he ignored these two high-ranking officials at all.

Ding Qirui couldn't wipe his face, and went straight to Li Yan's army with people, but was stopped. Li Yan's military formation was still in full swing, and he had no intention of letting Ding Qirui in.

"Li Yan, are you going to rebel" Ding Qirui was very angry and let his subordinates shout loudly.

Li Yan came to the side from the middle of the military formation, separated by a few rows of soldiers, and said loudly: "It's not that Li wants to rebel, but someone deceives people too much."

"Li Yan, don't mess around, if there is any problem, Inspector Ding and I will call the shots for you." Gao Mingheng also stepped forward and said loudly.

Li Yan sneered: "Are the two adults forcing Li's subordinates to be besieged, and Li has come from more than ten miles away, but the first time the two adults appeared, it was to make Li retreat, could it be that Li was a lowly official?"

"You have fired at Kaifeng City, we naturally can't sit idly by," Ding Qirui scolded loudly: "This superintendent orders you to withdraw immediately, don't be impatient and commit a taboo in the court."

Li Yan said disdainfully: "Since the two Shangguan have a bowl of water, there is no need for the two adults to mediate." When Li seeks justice himself, he will naturally retreat."

Gao Mingheng hurriedly persuaded: "Don't get excited, we will deal with this matter properly." ”

"How to deal with it" Li Yan asked: "Zuo Liangyu's troops innocently besieged my men, and Chen Yongfu deployed troops in the city to contain our troops. What are the two adults going to do?"

Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng were a little embarrassed, of course they already knew about such a big thing. But for Zuo Liangyu, who sent troops to besiege Li Yan, they really had no binding force. Needless to say, even the emperor didn't dare to do anything to Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu's 300,000 army was not given for nothing, if Zuo Liangyu was not satisfied, then the thieves might have an extra 300,000 well-trained army. Zuo Liangyu's army was only 25,000, but there were 300,000 under his command, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all from the thieves. So there is nothing to hesitate about when these soldiers and horses go back to be thieves.

And Chen Yongfu is just on guard at the head of the city, which is a manifestation of loyalty and bravery, and they can't blame it. So they can only put pressure on Li Yan, and someone has to take a step back before this matter can be resolved.

But they didn't expect that Li Yan, who had the lowest position, had a tougher attitude, which caught them off guard.
