Just when Li Xiuwen was busy rebelling, due to Yang Sichang's arrangement error, all the troops of Jinan Mansion were deployed in Dezhou, resulting in the emptiness of Jinan's troops, and the Qing army went straight to Jinan from Linqing and broke through Jinan.

However, this time, due to the fact that the White Lotus Sect rebelled, it had already looted once, and the Qing army did not get any advantage in Jinan.

The robbery of the White Lotus Sect is still targeted, and basically the looting is the landlord class, and it will not harm the common people. The Qing army was different, they couldn't grab much money, so they looted the population on a large scale, intending to bring it back as slaves.

Subsequently, when Li Xiuwen was busy occupying the territory, the Qing army returned to Tianjin Wei, and Hong Chengchou could only lead his troops to chase behind people's buttocks, and he failed to fight a few battles.

The Qing army fought back, and Zhu Youzhen ordered again that the Beijing division should be under martial law.

These days, Zhu Youzhen's face has become a lot haggard. The civil unrest that finally calmed down made the White Lotus Sect stir it up like this, and it suddenly became a pot of porridge again.

That's not all, Li Xiuwen went out with the Shenji Battalion, originally planned to quell the chaos, but he didn't expect to rebel in the end, which is really unfavorable for the passing years!

Zhu Youzhen finished reading a fold, and when he picked up the next one, he found that it was Cao Huachun's.

He opened it and saw that it was the third time that he had asked for his resignation.

"After three times in a row, begging for permission to return to the hometown, do you want to leave me so much?"

Zhu Youzhen slapped the fold on the case, and sighed in his heart: "Even my companion Cao Daban doesn't want to follow me anymore." Am I so unpopular now? ”

He was silent for a while, picked up this note again and looked at it, put it flat on the dragon book case, lifted the imperial pen, and fulfilled Cao Huachun.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong—"

A eunuch trotted in with Feng Zuoshu in his hand, and before he could speak, Zhu Youzhen had already frowned and reprimanded: "What's the matter, what kind of system?" ”

"Yes—"

After the eunuch reprimanded him, he suddenly slowed down and came to the front to report: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xianzhong is in Gucheng again!" ”

"What ?!!"

Zhu Youzhen was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he had just pulled out his hand to deal with Li Xiuwen, and Zhang Xianzhong turned against him again!

His vision blurred for a while, and after all, he couldn't suppress the fishy sweetness in his throat, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell down as soon as his eyes were dark.

"Your Majesty—"

"Kill—"

In Yanjin County, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Sun Chuanting's siege campaign lasted for a long time, but he couldn't capture Yanjin County, and there were more and more casualties among men and horses, which made him very anxious. Obviously, the city wall has been destroyed by artillery, but it can't be hit.

He looked down on Li Xiuwen a little, thinking that the other party was just a fledgling boy and would not have any ability to lead troops.

Now, Sun Chuanting knew that he was wrong, very wrong.

Li Xiuwen's defensive strategy makes a lot of sense. With the 10,000 men and horses of the Shenji Battalion guarding this Yanjin County, he didn't dare to venture easily. In the other case, the opponent relied on firearms and only defended on the city walls, which avoided the shortcomings of close combat.

If this battle continues like this, even if he breaks through the county seat, the casualties will definitely be not small. If he waited until that time, Li Xiuwen would have to transfer Kaifeng's soldiers and horses to reinforce him, wouldn't he have to return defeated?

Thinking so, Sun Chuanting summoned the herald and planned to order a retreat.

"Boom-"

"The gates are broken—"

"Quick, rush—"

Before Sun Chuanting's order could be issued, the city gate in front was actually blasted after repeated artillery fire. Listening to the shouts of the soldiers in his ears, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and changed the order: "The whole army will go to battle and attack the county seat!" ”

"Kill—"

The morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted and flocked to the city gate. This time, even the long-legged general He Renlong took the lead and rode his horse to the front.

On the city tower, Li Xiuwen was indeed a little panicked.

A previous city wall collapsed, and he could also rely on the advantage of troops to temporarily suppress the enemy's momentum of attacking the city. After all, the county seat is not big, and it is impossible for all 10,000 people to lean against the city wall, and wherever it collapses, there can be reinforcements.

Now that the gates are broken, it is not easy to do.

When the wall collapsed, the enemy had to climb up through the gap, but when the gate was broken, they could rush in. Although it was only a broken urn outside the city gate, and there was a city gate inside, it also put his side at a disadvantage.

The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the defense of the city, and built urn cities in various local prefectures, prefectures, and county towns to defend against possible foreign invasions.

Li Dong's cavalry battalion was arranged under the city, divided into small teams to control the various city gates, and control the situation in the city to prevent the people from running out of the streets.

With this arrangement, once there is a loss, it is good to rely on the advantage of the cavalry and rush to it quickly.

The enemy is menacing, and Li Dong has less than 3,000 cavalry in his hands, so I am afraid that he will not be able to stop it for long. Li Xiuwen didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took the right battalion down the city tower to reinforce it.

At the city gate, there were constantly enemies pouring into the urn city, and Li Dong led people to cover and kill inside, and the two sides fought for each other, and started a fierce battle.

Li Dong has now grown into a tiger general, and there is no ambiguity in killing enemies on the battlefield.

In hand-to-hand combat, the bird gun could not play a role, so he pulled out the chopping knife at his waist and skillfully swung it, slashing the invading enemy in front of him. Although the space in this urn city is a little smaller, it is enough to accommodate dozens of soldiers to fight in it.

The battle for the city gate lasted for most of the hour, but Sun Chuanting's men and horses were never able to attack it, and the casualties continued to increase. He can see that the group led by Li Xiuwen are all tigers and wolves, and they are not inferior to his thousands of elites.

It's no wonder that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have already undergone two years of training, and they are not a group of rabble. Coupled with Li Xiuwen's preferential treatment of the soldiers, they all dare to fight the enemy, how can they be compared with the ordinary army?

Several very brave enemies entered the city gate, and before they had time to rejoice, they let the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion guarding the rear be slaughtered.

Li Dong's face was covered with blood, and he was fighting with the enemy in the urn city. But the blood was all from the enemy, and he only suffered some skin wounds.

The battle lasted until the evening, and Sun Chuanting still couldn't capture this small county town, but the casualties had exceeded one-third.

In desperation, he had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army.

Seeing the enemy retreat like a tide, Li Xiuwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It was really thrilling just now, if you continue to fight like this, this county town will probably not be able to hold it." ”

However, he was also a little relieved in his heart, people like Sun Chuanting, without deserters, actually failed to get a bargain from themselves, which is already a very proud thing.
