(A 4,000-word chapter, continue to collect it?) ）

When they saw that the Xingtian Army had already left the camp and lined up, Li Zicheng's subordinates couldn't help but squint at the Xingtian Army, there was a look of disdain and envy in their eyes, the people who despised felt that the Xingtian Army had too few troops, but the envious people were feeling hot for the quality of the Xingtian Army's equipment, but no matter what, the morale of these Li Zicheng's troops was still quite good, and they were waiting for Li Zicheng's order to attack the city one by one.

After examining the situation of the two armies, Xiao Tianjian took the initiative to ride his horse and rushed to Li Zicheng to discuss the siege of the city with Li Zicheng.

"General Xiao came just in time, today we will join forces, we will definitely break through this Longzhou City with one drum, as long as we take Longzhou City, even if Nahe Renlong returns to Longzhou to help, it will be too late!

General Xiao's department has just arrived here, and he may not have built siege equipment yet, so this siege will be handed over to Li's department to do a good job! I also hope that General Xiao can support our troops on the side, and once the officers and troops in the city go out of the city to attack and disturb our siege, I also hope that General Xiao can lead his troops to respond and repel them? I don't know what General Xiao thinks? As soon as Li Zicheng saw Xiao Tianjian leading the crowd out of the camp and took the initiative to come over to meet him, he took the initiative to discuss with Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian was afraid that Li Zicheng would use his Xingtian Army as a gunman and let them take the lead in attacking the city, when he heard that Li Zicheng took the initiative to let the Xingtian Army under his command take the lead and support Li Zicheng's troops to attack the city, it could be regarded as being in the middle of the attack, so he nodded and agreed: "Since General Li Chuang has been arranged like this, then it is better to be respectful than obey!" Please rest assured that Xiao will not disappoint Li Chuangjiang! ”

Li Zicheng also belongs to the kind of person who is more cheerful, and after bowing his hand to Xiao Tianjian, he said: "Then there is General Lao Xiao!" Our artillery is limited, I see that your department has a lot of firearms, and I also ask your department to suppress the firearms of the officers and soldiers in the city first, and Li immediately led his troops to start attacking the city! In order to break this Longzhou city in one go! ”

Xiao Tianjian didn't talk nonsense, and after nodding his head in agreement, he returned to his team and assigned the task, Huang Shengqiang's artillery team as a lineup, quite excited, and secretly made up his mind to show his face in this battle, so that those mutant people under Li Zicheng's command could see the power of their Xingtian army.

So after he received the order, he immediately shouted, strode back to his artillery team, and shouted: "The brothers have listened to Lao Tzu! Our general has an order! Let our artillery team go first, and show the officers and soldiers in the city how powerful we are! It's all up to you, don't embarrass our Xingtian Army!

Push the cannon up to Lao Tzu and set it up! ”

The soldiers of the artillery team came to the spirit as soon as they heard it, and now they are attacking Longzhou City with the legendary Li Chuang, no one wants to blacken the face of the Xingtian Army, starting from the new barracks of the Xingtian Army, the instructors have been instilling in them every day about the honor of the Xingtian Army, no one wants to drop the chain at this time, so that people will look down on their Xingtian Army, as soon as they heard Huang Shengqiang's order, these artillerymen immediately took off the mules and horses that dragged the cannons, and moved their artillery towards the city with both hands and feet.

Yang Yulin on the city held the battlements and looked at the new group of mutant soldiers outside the city, and when he saw them pushing or lifting so many cannons from the formation, his heart suddenly began to sink.

Yang Yulin is a subordinate general of He Renlong, two days ago from Baoji County, news came from Baoji County, saying that Gao Yingxiang led more than 10,000 troops to Baoji County, Baoji County is weak, worried that Gao Yingxiang's troops will not be able to withstand the onslaught of the people's army, and sent people to Longzhou to ask for help from He Renlong.

Unlike the last time Fengxiang Mansion Duan Youzhi sent someone to ask He Renlong to send troops to Huangyang to suppress bandits, this time Baoji County was attacked by Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the mutant army, and He Renlong could no longer refuse, otherwise, once someone impeached him and sat back and did not save him, then this crime is really not small, He Renlong can not afford such a crime, so after getting the news of Baoji Zhixian asking for help, He Renlong did not dare to slack off, and ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses on the same day, and rushed out of Longzhou to Baoji County to help.

But He Renlong also kept an eye on it, for fear that once he left Longzhou, other mutant troops would come to attack Longzhou again, so when he left, he left a thousand soldiers under his command to garrison in Longzhou City, and the leader of this thousand officers and troops was Yang Yulin, the commander of the thousand officers under his command.

Yang Yulin is now Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old, is Wu Juren in the Wanli period, after joining the army, he followed He Renlong as a general, so many years all the way from the general flag officer to the current thousand general office, although after more than ten years, but the size of the battle array has gone through dozens of times, and it is more victories and fewer defeats, can be regarded as a member of He Renlong's command.

The reason why Yang Yulin was left in Longzhou City by He Renlong is mainly because Yang Yulin is known for his skillful bow and horse fighting, and at the same time, because he is steady and good at using firearms to defend the city, so he has always been valued by He Renlong.

Yesterday, when Li Zicheng led his troops to Longzhou City, Yang Yulin had already figured out Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's plan, they wanted to use the strategy of transferring the tiger from the mountain, and Gao Yingxiang led the troops to besiege Baoji County and transfer the main troops and horses under He Renlong to Baoji County, and then let Li Zicheng lead his troops to take Longzhou City.

Yesterday, Li Zicheng led his troops to take advantage of the emptiness of Longzhou City's troops to conquer Longzhou City in one fell swoop, but Yang Yulin immediately asked Longzhou Zhizhou to order nearly 2,000 villagers to be summoned in Longzhou City and outside the city, and cooperated with nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers under his command to defend the city, and repelled Li Zicheng's several attacks in a row, so that Li Zicheng lost the first battle and failed to take Longzhou City.

And before dark last night, Yang Yulin received a message from the scouts, saying that another road of mutant people was rushing towards Longzhou City, and they could reach the outside of Longzhou City before dark.

Yang Yulin did not pay attention to this news at first, because in his opinion, the city of Longzhou is strong, and the strength of the city is not a gap, the number of officers and soldiers plus the strength of the township is close to 3,000, and the weapons in Longzhou City are abundant, which is enough to block the attack of these people's army.

Yang Yulin did not fight with the Changing People's Army in the first two years, of course he knew the strength of the Changing People's Army, plus this time Gao Yingxiang and his Zhulu Changing People's Army were newly defeated in the Carriage Gorge not long ago, and the losses were very large, it was impossible to recover their strength in a short period of time, and the Changing People's Army had a reputation for extremely poor combat effectiveness, and it was very bad at attacking tough battles, only with this Li Zicheng's thousands of soldiers and horses and the new two thousand Changing People's Army, Yang Yulin thought that even if He Renlong did not lead his troops back to Longzhou City in time, He can also lead his troops here to resist the attack of Li Zicheng's group of mutant people's army.

But today, when he saw the situation of the new mutant army outside the city, he began to get nervous, because he saw at a glance that this mutant army was different from other mutant army, he went to the city early in the morning to pay attention to the situation outside the city, from the beginning of this new mutant army out of the camp, he found that this mutant army showed a strong discipline, and the behavior reflected the quality that only elite soldiers and horses can have, and basically could do the order and prohibition, although their strength was not much, only more than a thousand people, But the quality of the equipment far exceeded that of many mutant militias he had seen before, even compared to the quality of the equipment of the officers and soldiers under his command, he had never heard of such a mutant army before.

So he immediately pointed to the new mutant army and asked his subordinates who did not accept the news this time: "What is the origin of this mutant army?" Why haven't you heard of it before? ”

The Ye Bushui under his command immediately replied: "Qi Qi Qian, this mutant army is the Xingtian Army, which has been very famous in Fengxiang recently!" This time, for some reason, they got involved with this thief (Gao Yingxiang), and they should have taken refuge in the thief! ”

"Xingtian Army? Is it the pole that defeated Feng Xiangwei twice in a row in the area of Huangyang? I heard that they also broke through Lijiazhuang and slaughtered the Li family? Yang Yulin frowned, remembered the name of Xingtianjun, and asked about that night.

"Yes, it should be them! Speaking of which, Feng Xiangwei is really tight, he was actually defeated twice in a row by such a pole, and every time he let this Heavenly Army win more with less, what a group of fools! Speaking of which, the Li family is really miserable, the Zhuangzi was broken by this Xingtian Army, and the whole door was slaughtered, if it weren't for someone in the Li family who was an official in Beijing, I'm afraid the Li family would be desperate this time! That night did not stop shaking his head and said.

"The Li family deserves it! Last time, our general passed through Huangyang and wanted to ask the Li family to give some money and food for the labor army, but the Li family didn't pull out a dime, and they called us and others bandits! said that he wanted his son to join our general in Beijing! Later, our general had to send a sum of money to the man surnamed Li, so it was a problem! Now they deserve to be slaughtered! A general manager under Yang Yulin immediately said.

Yang Yulin sneered and said: "No wonder after the Li family was slaughtered this time, the Duan prefect sent a letter asking us to go to Huangyang to suppress the bandits, but General He refused to agree, and the Li family is to blame!" Hum! ”

As soon as Yang Yulin's words fell, the general's face changed color, and with a frightened look, he pointed at the Xingtian Army under the city and shouted to Yang Yulin: "President Yang Qian! Not good! Look at it, there are so many cannons on this pole! This is in trouble! ”

Yang Yulin looked at the general finger, and was immediately shocked: "How can they have so many cannons?" ”

That night, he didn't accept it, but a smart man immediately said: "By the way, this Xingtian Army has defeated Feng Xiangwei twice in a row, and it is estimated that these cannons should have been dropped by Feng Xiangwei's official army!" This is in trouble! ”

Yang Yulin pursed his lips and stared at the Xingtian Army who was raising the cannon, and at the same time glanced at the noisy Li Zicheng's military formation, gritted his teeth and punched heavily on the city plate and scolded: "Jiao Tong, you quickly go and turn the general's cannon around, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle today!" You must first suppress the cannon of this Heavenly Army, otherwise Li Thief will definitely lead his troops to take the opportunity to attack the city! In addition, gather the artillery in our city, and be sure to suppress them! ”

The officers and soldiers on the city wall were busy, and a group of officers and soldiers shouted and transferred a cannon to the city wall on this side, and began to busy loading and loading.

Huang Shengqiang commanded the soldiers of the artillery team to retreat to a distance of 100 paces outside the city, stopped, waved a small flag and began to direct his artillery to load.

The gunners of each gun immediately followed his instructions, and began to load the ammunition into a sub-gun, which was arranged behind the side of the Furlong cannon, and someone lifted a sub-gun, and forcefully put it into the tail of the Furlong cannon, carefully aimed at the gun chamber, and installed the sub-gun in place.

In fact, the firing of the Furlong cannon is not simple, because of the casting, there will be some gaps between the sub-gun and the mother, if you are a little careless, if you do not load the sub-gun in place, once the cannon is fired, the gas of gunpowder deflagration will leak out from the combination of the sub-gun and the mother, which will often burn the gunner who operates the gun, serious and even killed, and what is more terrible is that sometimes it will even cause an explosion, in that case, the gunner will suffer, so it is not a simple matter to operate the Fran gun, The gunner of the loader is the most skilled among the gunners, and it is necessary to avoid such accidents as much as possible.

And those tiger squat cannons are not needed for the time being, after all, the range of tiger squat cannons is very limited, and a hundred steps away cannot pose any threat to the enemy troops on the city wall, if it is too close, it is the bird guns and strong bows in the hands of the defenders in the city will cause great casualties to the gunners, so Huang Shengqiang is naturally not stupid enough to let the men who operate the tiger squat cannons carry the cannon to the city to die.

After the five Furlong machines were loaded, Huang Shengqiang immediately waved his arms and shouted: "Open the cannon!" ”

The gunner then picked up the red-hot iron hammer from the charcoal basin next to the cannon and pestled it into the fire door of the gun.

Only a few loud booms were heard, and several clouds of smoke immediately rose in front of the artillery emplacement, and several projectiles immediately whistled and smashed into the city wall.

Five iron pellets smashed heavily on the city wall, causing bricks and stones to fly on the city wall and battlements, causing the defenders on the city to exclaim, for them, suddenly the mutant army outside the city would have so many cannons, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to their morale.

When the defenders in the city were exclaiming, the soldiers and generals of Li Zicheng and Xiao Tianjian's departments outside the city collectively let out a shocking cheer.

Xiao Tianjian nodded with satisfaction, the first round of firing of his artillery team really gave him a long face, not to mention that all five cannons were fired, and they were also very accurate, and they collapsed two battlements on the city head, and the remaining two also hit the city wall not far from the battlements, leaving two deep craters on the blue brick city wall, and the rammed earth city wall core was exposed under the collapsed city bricks, and only one cannonball flew into the city, and I didn't know that it fell on the roof of the unlucky man's house.

Li Zicheng saw that the Xingtian Army had begun to fire cannons, so he pulled out a sword from his waist and shouted: "Brothers! Rush! ”

Countless rebels immediately carried the ladders that had been prepared, pushed a few freshly made trench carts and rushed towards the city wall, the first wave of the rebels who launched the attack was more than 800 people personally led by Liu Zongmin, a general under Li Zicheng, and these more than 800 people rushed out of Li Zicheng's large array one by one shouting like a tide.

Yang Yulin turned his head and roared at the panicked subordinates in the city: "What are you afraid of? It's just a few broken cannons that scare you like this! Jiao Tong! Is the general artillery ready? ”

The general named Jiao Tong shouted not far away: "Ready, Master Qianzong!" ”

"Fire! Kill these thieves! Yang Yulin yelled at Na Jiaotong.
