"He Renlong—"

In the camp tent, Sun Chuanting pointed at General He and reprimanded angrily: "You escaped from the battle, disturbed the hearts of our army, and caused a great defeat of our army, what is your intention?!! ”

He Renlong had already prepared his speech, and said with his fists clenched: "Your Excellency, it's not that the last general is cowardly, it's really that the enemy's firearms are too powerful, and there are more people than us, and those soldiers under my command can't resist anymore, so they will retreat." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"You-"

Sun Chuanting was angry for a while, and he felt helpless in his heart. There were too many soldiers fleeing in front of the battle, and he hadn't seen them before.

These generals, one by one, only have a small team of family members with some combat power, and the other soldiers are simply numbered.

These family members are all people's own soldiers, and they are all very precious, where would He Renlong be willing to let them be easily injured?

"If the lord has no other orders, the last general will retire first."

He Renlong sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he remained silent, arched his hand and withdrew from the camp.

"With such generals in the imperial court, how can you win the battle?"

Sun Chuanting shook his head and sighed, and then decided to write a letter and report the situation truthfully, so as to punish He Renlong.

As soon as he sent someone to send him away, a personal soldier entered the camp tent and reported: "Lord Ministry, Li Xiuwen sent someone to send a letter. ”

Sun Chuanting frowned when he heard this, and he had already vaguely guessed the other party's intentions.

For Li Xiuwen, he still has a good impression in his heart, and the other party has saved him from prison, so he will inevitably owe the other party a favor.

But the favor is the favor, and now the two camps are different, and Sun Chuanting is reluctant to have too much contact with those who rebel against the court.

When he was in prison, he could guess that Li Xiuwen must have some purpose in coming to visit him. I didn't understand it at that time, but now it's a little clear.

Li Xiuwen had two hearts, and the kindness at that time was nothing more than trying to win himself over.

Sun Chuanting really didn't guess wrong, the other party sent this letter to persuade him to surrender. What surprised him a little was that Li Xiuwen did not mention the kindness in the past in his letter.

After pondering for a while, Sun Chuanting smiled, already understanding Li Xiuwen's deeper purpose - to sow discord!

Such a small skill of carving insects, he naturally will not take it to heart. Sun Chuanting felt that the current saint was not stupid enough to be so stupid that he would be suspicious of himself because of this.

At this time, He Renlong returned to his tent.

After thinking about it, he always felt that Sun Chuanting would definitely sue him. The other party is now the governor, if the court says that he fled in front of the battle, I'm afraid the situation is a little bad!

He Renlong didn't dare to sit still, if you can sue, can't I sue?

This lawsuit has gone up, and at least it can shirk some responsibility. He Renlong felt that the imperial court was now the time to employ people, and it should not remove him from the post of chief soldier because of this incident.

At this moment, a personal soldier came in, leaned into He Renlong's ear and whispered, "My lord, Li Xiuwen has just sent someone over and sent a letter to Governor Sun. ”

"Is that so?"

He Renlong's eyes widened and he asked, "Do you know what is written on that letter?" ”

The soldier shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

He Renlong thought for a while, and felt that something was a little strange, this Li Xiuwen was going to persuade Sun Chuanting to surrender. Instead, he laughed proudly again: "Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting, this time, I want to see who can sue whom!" ”

――――

――――

Complaints are complaints, and this battle still has to be fought.

Sun Chuanting rested for a day and marched again. Li Xiuwen didn't confront him head-on this time, so he nested in the county town and started a battle to defend the city.

Under normal circumstances, the besieging side needs to have several times more troops than the other side, and it is equipped with powerful cannons to easily enter the city.

The defender of the city only needs a small number of people, and with the help of strong walls, it can defend a city.

Yanjin County is only a small city, so naturally it is impossible to have good fortifications, so it is not easy to defend it.

It's just that Sun Chuanting's troops are insufficient, and if he forcibly attacks the city, the chances of victory are not great. Unless there is a traitor in the county town who answers and opens the city gate for him.

Li Xiuwen has been killing too much recently, and it is not impossible for a traitor to appear. However, he has nearly 10,000 horses in his hands, and he can firmly control the gate of the county seat, and it is impossible for others to approach.

It stands to reason that Sun Chuanting's target can be Li Xiuwen or Kaifeng City. Since Li Xiuwen is stationed here, he can completely bypass it and go to Kaifeng City.

But he still had some scruples, the officers and soldiers of the guard were too useless, and it was impossible to transfer them to attack the city.

Among the people he brought, there were still 3,000 people who belonged to He Renlong. If he just ran to the bottom of Kaifeng City, Li Xiuwen would take 10,000 people from the Shenji Battalion to surround him from behind, and he would be wiped out.

When the time comes, don't say it's a breakthrough, I'm afraid that if I haven't shouted retreat, He Renlong should run away with his own people again.

This time it was a rapid march, Sun Chuanting did not transfer Hongyi cannons, and only had three Franc machine guns in his hands, which was obviously a little difficult to use to attack the city.

Yanjin County was originally an earthen city, which was renovated in the 26th year of Wanli, and now it is a city wall made of bricks. Fortunately, the city wall of the county town is not too high, and it is not as thick as the city wall of Kaifeng City.

After making some simple preparations, Sun Chuanting led people to the foot of the county seat. Three Franc cannons were loaded into the chariot, along with bows and arrows, several siege ladders, and improvised siege equipment such as flying hooks.

The siege equipment was fully prepared, and Sun Chuanting gave an order and began to attack the city.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The three Franc cannons were noisy, constantly spewing tongues of fire at the walls and gates.

Li Xiuwen stood on the city tower and watched the battle, only to feel that after a few cannon shots, the city wall trembled, as if it was a little unbearable and was about to collapse.

The position he was standing on now was the viewing platform on the castle tower, which was higher and farther, and it was difficult for the artillery to hit here.

"You have cannons, and I don't?"

After suffering a dark loss before, Li Xiuwen had already asked people to go back to Kaifeng and transferred the Franc machine gun. Seeing that the enemy was still so arrogant, he ordered to the soldiers beside him: "Let's also open fire and hit those chariots fiercely for me!" ”

"Yes—"

When the soldiers received the order, they went down to convey it.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The Franco's cannon on the city tower began to counterattack, stunned Sun Chuanting's men.

In the previous battle in the field, they didn't see the artillery used by the Shenji Battalion, and they thought that the other side didn't have this thing.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion had bird guns in their hands, and they took advantage of the long range and fast rate of fire, and the enemy suffered considerable casualties because they were guarding the city tower.

There is also a mace prepared on the castle tower, and once an enemy climbs up the castle tower in some places, this mace will roll down and immediately overwhelm a large number of enemies.

The mace was tied to a hemp rope, and several soldiers could pull it up with the same force. Unlike bows and arrows and birds, this thing has no consumption and can be recycled.

Safe and environmentally friendly, use it with confidence!

"Newspaper—"

A herald ran in front of Li Xiuwen with a shout, and reported: "General, the city wall guarded by the left sentry camp has collapsed!" ”

it, it's collapsing?

I know that the walls are not strong!

Li Xiuwen was full of slander in his heart, and then ordered: "Let the reserve soldiers of the Zuoye Battalion go to the top, there are so many of us, they can't beat it!" ”

"Yes—"

The herald received the order, turned and trotted away. (To be continued.) )
