Lee House.

"Listen to the people inside, we are the Beijing camp guarding the security of the capital, and now we are arresting the rebels under the military order of Wu Weihou, and quickly open the courtyard gate!"

Under the orders of the bearded general, the previous Qianhu who had been beaten in the head came to the door of the mansion and shouted loudly while pressing the knocker on the door hard.

"This is Li Hanlin's mansion, and if you want to enter, you need to get the emperor's permission." Immediately, a man's voice came from the courtyard.

"The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the crime of rebellion is unforgivable.

The Qianhu had already responded, and when he heard this, he shouted at the courtyard, "You better open the courtyard door, lest we break in!" ”

"The matter of rebellion is very important, and it is not up to Marquis Wu Wei to decide, and now that the prince is in charge of the country, seeing that the prince Jun ordered our Li Mansion to naturally let people out." The male voice in the courtyard followed closely and rejected the request of the thousand households.

"In that case, then we're welcome." Hearing this, the Qianhu turned his head and glanced at the bearded general behind him, saw that he bowed slightly, and then shouted into the courtyard with a straight face.

"This is Li Hanlin's private residence, without the emperor's decree or the prince's decree, all those who attempt to break in will be regarded as thieves with bad intentions!" Not to be outdone, the male voice in the courtyard replied.

"Go up and see what goes inside." Hearing this, the Qianhu waved his hand at the soldiers on the side, and gave an order with an expressionless face, wanting to explore the reality in the courtyard, but he did not know the defense of the Li Mansion at this time.

The soldiers had already prepared the ladder, and one soldier climbed up the wall along the ladder and stretched his head to look inside.

"Mom!" Immediately, the soldier let out a scream and slipped off his chair.

At the same time, a long arrow whistled against the soldier's scalp and flew past, so frightened that he was in a cold sweat and almost peed his pants.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, the Qianhu hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the soldier who was lying on the ground moaning with a frown.

"Senhu-sama, the courtyard ...... The yard is ...... It's all people! The soldier stood up and rubbed his ass with a palpitating sigh.

"All people?" The Qianhu was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and he asked urgently, "Is it the new army?" ”

"Yes, their uniforms are different from ours." The soldier thought for a moment, then nodded, although he couldn't see the color of the uniform at night, but the style was still clear at a glance.

The Qianhu realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked over to the bearded general and reported to him that there was a new army in the courtyard.

The bearded general frowned immediately when he heard this, he never expected that there would be a new army in the Li Mansion, which complicated the situation, which meant that he could not enter the Li Mansion smoothly, and he would have to go through a bloody battle.

For the bearded general, he is not willing to go to war with the new army, he is Zhang Guang's confidant general, so he naturally knows something about the new army, knows that the new army's combat effectiveness is not bad, and the officers and men of the new army will not surrender, so it will be an extremely bloody scene.

"Knock the door open!" However, the matter has come to this point, the bearded general has no other choice, and after a deep groan, he pointed to the closed courtyard gate gloomily and said, he must carry out Wu Weihou's order.

"Bump!" Hearing this, the Qianhu immediately waved his hand at the soldiers who were already preparing to hit the wood.

The soldiers then lifted the bumper wood, shouted the trumpet and banged the gate, and knocked the closed courtyard gate open in three or two clicks, after all, the courtyard gate was made of solid wood, and naturally could not withstand the impact of the siege equipment such as the bumping wood.

"Rush in!" Seeing this, the Qianhu drew his waist knife, pointed at the courtyard gate, and shouted at the surrounding soldiers, "Whoever catches the mastermind will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!" ”

"Kill!" Hearing this, the soldiers raised their weapons one after another, and rushed into the courtyard gate with a shout, they had already received the order of the bearded general, the female dependents in the Li Mansion belonged to the mastermind and must be captured alive, as if they had seen the silver of the white flowers.

"Put!"

In the courtyard, the soldiers of the new army drew their bows with arrows, forming a fan shape around the courtyard gate, and the people in the front two rows used shields to set up a defensive position, and the soldiers in the back three rows drew their bows with arrows.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......

When the soldiers of the new army heard this, they immediately let go of the bowstring and pulled the bowstring, and the arrows flew towards the soldiers of the Beijing army who rushed into the courtyard gate with a whistling sound, like wheat swept by a sickle, and in an instant they wailed and poured a large piece, and the archery skills of the new army were the best in the Ming army.

Obviously, the attacking soldiers did not expect to be attacked by such a sharp bow and arrow, and the three rows of new army archers took turns shooting in an orderly manner, thus forming a continuous fire.

This made those Beijing soldiers have no power to fight back at all, and they quickly retreated outside the courtyard gate in panic, after all, no one wanted to die in vain.

"What's going on?" The bearded general thought that he was going to rush into the Li Mansion in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect the person who rushed in to escape so quickly and embarrassed, and his face suddenly sank, he had never encountered this kind of thing before.

"General, there are a lot of archers in them, and it will be difficult for us to rush in." A military attache of the Beijing army, who had been hit by an arrow in his shoulder, did not bother to pull out the arrow, and reported to the bearded general with a pale expression.

"Archers?" The brows of the bearded general suddenly frowned, the new army was reorganized on the basis of the Ming army that came back from Liaodong, so its archery skills were naturally powerful.

"Knock down the courtyard wall and let the shield bearer clear the way, the general will not believe how many new troops can be hidden in this courtyard." Then, a sinister smile flashed on the corner of the bearded general's mouth, ready to eliminate the new army in the courtyard with the advantage of troops.

With this order of the bearded general, the shield bearers in the Beijing army were immediately transferred, and at the same time, the soldiers of the Beijing army on the street hummed and demolished the courtyard wall facing the Li Mansion, and the courtyard wall soon collapsed due to the large number of people.

It was only at this time that the bearded general saw the situation in the courtyard of the Li Mansion, and saw that the soldiers of the New Army had already shrunk back the defensive line and leaned against the buildings in the courtyard to defend.

Among them, soldiers with shields in their hands gather under the building, while the archers are on the building, so that they can shoot condescendingly.

The bearded general was taken aback when he saw this, this was the last thing he wanted to see, the soldiers of the new army relied on the geographical advantage to put on a stubborn posture, so they would undoubtedly fall into an offensive and defensive battle, which was very unfavorable to the attacking Beijing army.

"Kill!" The bearded general wanted a quick victory, so he frowned and pointed at the new army in the courtyard, and gave a loud order.

"Kill!" When the soldiers of the Beijing army at the scene heard this, they immediately waved the weapons in their hands and rushed into the courtyard, and a fierce battle began.

"Put!" On the roof, when the soldiers of the Beijing army who had rushed into the courtyard reached the firing range, a shout came from the new army archers on the roof.

In an instant, there was a rain of arrows in the courtyard, and the shieldmen of the Beijing army who rushed into the courtyard put their shields on their heads, trying to avoid the attack of this rain of arrows.

However, the truth was beyond the expectations of those Beijing army shield players, and the arrows fired by the new army archers actually pierced their shields in such a short distance, and those arrows that were not blocked by the shields made the Beijing army shield players who were hit by the arrows scream and fell to the ground, and Hula fell to a large area.

The soldiers of the Beijing army who followed behind did not stop, shouting and stepping on the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and continued to rush forward in the face of the attacks of the archers of the new army, after all, they were the elite under Zhang Guang, and they knew that if they stopped now, they would only become a living target for the archers of the new army.

The fire of the new army archers on the roof was incessant, which made the soldiers of the Beijing army pay with their lives and blood for every step forward.

Although the archers of the new army gave a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the Beijing army, the soldiers of the Beijing army were outnumbered, and they still rushed to the front after leaving a group of corpses.

The new soldiers in front of the room were already in battle, and their shields were large rectangular iron shields, like the Roman soldiers, in a "turtle phalanx", that is, shields were used to protect the front and top of the procession, and they looked like a turtle retracted into a shell.

When the soldiers of the Beijing army approached, the soldiers of the new army in the phalanx suddenly stretched their spears out of the gap between their shields, like a hedgehog covered in thorns.

It was the first time for the soldiers of the Beijing army to encounter such a thing, so they couldn't take precautions, so the soldiers of the Beijing army in front of them were stabbed with spears one after another, and they fell in a pool of blood with panic.

The soldiers of the new army in the phalanx kept pumping their spears outward, like a hedgehog covered with thorns, causing the approaching Beijing soldiers to fall down one after another.

Faced with the threat of spears, the soldiers of the Beijing army who rushed to the front subconsciously put the shields in their hands on their chests to resist.

Unfortunately, they became the target of the new army archers standing on the rooftops, screaming and falling from the arrows.

The soldiers of the New Army are like a high-speed machine, running very delicately, methodically killing the soldiers of the Beijing Army who rush in.

After a period of chaos, the corpses of many soldiers of the Beijing army fell in the courtyard, especially near the new army formation in front of the house, and the corpses were either stabbed to death by spears or shot by bows and arrows.

This greatly damaged the morale of the attacking Beijing soldiers, making them gradually lose the will to fight, and they did not know who led the way, and the Beijing soldiers who entered the courtyard suddenly retreated like a tide, scrambling to leave the battlefield, leaving only the wounded Beijing soldiers to the ground groaning and wailing in pain.

The bearded general's face became extremely gloomy, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was extremely ugly.

He had already seen everything that was happening in the courtyard, and he thought that the soldiers of the Beijing army could use their numerical superiority to break the formation of the new army in one go, but in any case, he did not expect that two or three hundred people were killed and wounded, and even Mao'er of the new army's formation was not injured.

However, the bearded general seemed a little helpless about the current situation, and like the soldiers of the Beijing army, he also saw this new tactic of the new army for the first time:

The shield formation of the New Army soldiers was like a hedgehog, and it was difficult to approach, let alone "bite", with the assistance of the New Army archers on the roof.
