Feng Shuangli, the Zhongzhou guard of the Great Western Army, stood on the city wall at night, looking at the mighty river outside the city with mixed feelings.
The offensive of the Ming army has already begun.
Although they were still unable to open the gate, Di Sanpin, who had just been blown up and had to be transported back to Chongqing to recuperate, told him that the defenders could not hold out for long, and the ferocity of the Ming army's artillery fire was unheard of. If it weren't for the natural danger of Kuimen, coupled with the dense forts on both sides of the strait, I am afraid that it would not be able to hold even a day, but fortunately, the steep mountains on both sides of the strait made the heavy artillery of the Ming army unusable, especially the direct cannon could not be placed, and the cupola cannon was not accurate enough, otherwise even these forts would have been shattered.
"Governor, we have to plan ahead!"
The adjutant general beside him said.
"Let's wait until they get past the gate!"
Feng Shuangli said expressionlessly.
At this time, he was staring at the river, under the starlight and the full moon, the river surface of nearly two hundred zhang wide was like a silver practice, several night fishing boats were shining a little light in the net, I don't know why there was a cow out of the river, because the distance was not very clear, vaguely only could see that it seemed to be a cow, but it was a little bigger, and there was a figure on the back of the cow, maybe it was a farmer who returned late from winter ploughing!
Soon the figure merged with the undulating rocks of the river beach, which had not rained much since the beginning of winter, and the rapidly falling water level exposed a large area of the river bottom, and the boulders hidden under the water were revealed, reminding him of the dry beaches of the Yellow River during the great drought in Shaanxi.
It was because of that drought that he chose to rebel and survive.
More than ten years have passed, and now he is really a little exhausted.
"Alas!"
He sighed gloomily.
"Governor, what's that?"
The lieutenant exclaimed suddenly.
Feng Shuangli lowered his head and hurriedly walked in the direction of his finger, and then his eyes widened, because the ploughing ox that had just disappeared from his field of vision had already landed on the dock on the shore at this time, just like a charging war horse, along the road where the dock was facing the clear door, and even he could faintly hear the heavy hoof. He also found out at this time that something was wrong, this cow was too big, far bigger than he imagined, and he couldn't feel it far away before the night, but as the distance got closer, he could see it clearly, and this cow was not two horns, but only a huge horn above the cow's head, which ......
It's a rhinoceros!
What's more, on the back of the rhinoceros, there is also a man with a giant long-handled battle axe in his hand.
A terrifying legend popped into his head.
"Quick, drumming!"
He let out a sudden exclamation.
"Enemy attack!"
Then he added.
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly rushed to the war drum not far away, and at the same time as he beat the war drum, Feng Shuangli also pounced on a Furlong machine gun, hurriedly picked up the ignition rod and ignited the fire rope in the brazier on the side, and he struggled to move the Furlong cannon to aim at the target and fire at the fastest speed. But how could the rhinoceros in the wild run be so easy to hit, let alone a rotten thing like the Franco, this cannonball fell ten zhang away behind the target, Feng Shuangli did not hesitate to pounce on the other cannon, but this thousands of catties of Hongyi cannon was not something he could move at all.
Fortunately, at this time, a large group of soldiers, startled by the sound of drums, arrived.
But at this moment, the rhinoceros that ran wildly rushed to the city gate with the knight on his back, because he was facing the Yangtze River, and the river was surging a few hundred meters away, so there was no moat in front of the second gate of Tingqing and Huaibin in Zhongzhou to the south, and there was no other moat with the Yangtze River as a moat, just in Feng Shuangli's stunned gaze, the combination of the rhinoceros and the giant axe knight showed a cruel smile to them like a terrifying monster, and then roared and crashed straight into the closed gate of the urn city.
"Quick, release the arrow!"
Feng Shuangli hurriedly shouted.
Dozens of soldiers who had just arrived pulled out their strong bows at the same time, and then leaned out to aim at the target at close range and released arrows, but whether those sharp arrows were shot on the rhinoceros or the man, they quickly bounced off with the sound of hitting steel, and then the soldiers with bird guns also arrived, and more than a dozen bird guns stuck out of the wall and shot at the same time, but the monster below was still unconscious, he roared furiously against the dense bullets and sharp arrows that kept falling on his body, and the terrifying giant axe in his hand was raised high, and it was instantly cut down with a terrifying roar.
Although he couldn't see it, Feng Shuangli still clearly heard the sound of the iron-clad city gate shattering.
He looked at the monster dumbfounded.
This is a real monster.
Even the soldiers on either side of him were stunned by the furious scene, they even forgot to shoot, and they all leaned over in amazement to look at the shocking scene under the city walls, the spectacular scene of one man attacking a city, and in their petrified eyes, the monster once again raised the huge battle axe, and the rough shape of the giant axe roared down again.
"Boom!"
In the terrifying impact, the fragments of the city gate shot out from the hole in the city gate behind them like scattered bullets, and at this moment even they felt as if the city wall under their feet was shaking, but then a third loud bang followed, this sound was somewhat special, as if a huge thing had fallen, and then before they could react, a roar sounded behind them. All the soldiers of the Western Army hurriedly turned their heads, and saw that the terrifying monster suddenly stepped on the fallen and broken city gate, rushed out of the door hole of the urn city, and then crashed into the gate of the main city wall, and at the moment of impact, he raised the giant battle axe high, and smashed it down with a roar.
The terrifying impact rang out again.
But at the same time, the sound of the city gates opening was also heard.
Obviously, he had mastered the art of smashing the city gates, after all, this thing was nothing more than a thick layer of iron-clad wooden planks, and the back bolts were locked, whether the city gate or the door bolts, it was just a joke in the face of the impact of four hundred kilograms of steel.
Then the monster turned its head to look at Feng Shuangli behind him.
An eerie smile appeared on his face in the firelight.
"The people of Zhongzhou, the Holy Driver of the Ming Emperor has arrived, and he is about to come out and divide the fields!"
Then a thunderous roar sounded.
This voice was extremely loud, as if the voice of a real god, almost instantly spread throughout Zhongzhou City, which was actually only five miles in circumference, and was not even as big as Ningyuan City, and at the same time, in the countless streets and alleys in Zhongzhou City, those people who were also startled by the sound of drums also poked their heads out, and in the chaotic movement of the defenders in the city, some people quietly picked up swords, shovels, and even hidden swords, and began to gather silently in the eyes of mutual tacit understanding.
"Put the jack gate!"
On the city wall, Feng Shuangli roared desperately.
And at the same time, the faint sound of shouting and killing came to his ears like the waves of the Yangtze River flood.
Feng Shuangli raised his head in astonishment.
At the mouth of the Shenxidu on the opposite side, bamboo rafts continued to rush out, like slender arrows, on the silver river surface with the help of the water flow swept rapidly, straight to the dock on the north bank, all the bamboo rafts were attached to the black figure, on the largest bamboo raft, a figure with a spear standing proudly, although he couldn't see clearly in the far moonlight, but he still recognized who it was in an instant.
"Qin Liangyu!"
Almost all the Western soldiers on either side of him who saw this scene were screaming.
It was clear that they were also familiar with this figure, this old man who had been fighting them for three years.
"Boom!"
A terrifying crash sounded for the fourth time.
With the fragments of the jack gate sprayed backwards from the hole in the city gate, the monster finally rushed into the city, and then the giant axe in his hand swept, like sweeping away a bunch of toys, sweeping the oncoming Western cavalry out, the defenders on the city wall didn't care about Qin Liangyu who crossed the river outside, and turned their heads to shoot at him, bullets and feathered arrows kept crashing into him and the rhinoceros, but without exception they were all bounced off by the solid armor.
And the monster continued to swing the giant axe back and forth, that is, the simplest of sweeping back and forth, but all the cavalry that stood in his way turned into fragmented rotten flesh and flew out the moment they touched the giant axe. Even the rhinoceros under his seat was as furious as him, and the giant beast that kept roaring, with its head down, used its huge horn to constantly provoke one war horse after another and then threw it out directly, or simply tore it open and trampled it directly under its hooves.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Western cavalry that blocked the attack collapsed, and they were frightened by the battle beyond their imagination, and they did not hesitate to turn around and run.
It's not people.
Nor is this something that humans can overcome.
And the monster sprinted straight for the nearest road.
A hurried Furlong cannon burst into flames at him, and the giant axe in the latter's hand immediately crossed the way, and the sound of the cannonball hitting the axe surface sounded, and the spark burst into the cannonball, and he only shook violently, but still unscathed to urge the rhinoceros to rush up the wall.
"The Son of Heaven is here, who dares to be an enemy!"
He stood on the wall with a great axe and shouted like a god descending from the sky.
Those soldiers of the Western Army looked at each other blankly, and soon one of them threw down his weapon and fell to the ground tremblingly, and then more and more soldiers of the Western Army knelt down, even those generals also knelt down, and only Feng Shuangli was left on the entire city wall, he looked at this scene helplessly, and then looked outside the city. The nearest Ming soldiers had already arrived at the city, and the red-clothed soldiers with bayonets and those white-pole soldiers rushed to the city gate, and Qin Liangyu's figure in the crowd was particularly eye-catching.
Only then did he turn his head and drop the knife in that majestic gaze.
"The criminal people, the puppet of the Great Western Kingdom, the military governor Feng Shuangli, knock to see Your Majesty."
He fell on his knees on the wall and prostrated himself.
"Get up, take your men and hand over all your weapons, and wait in the barracks for disposal!"
Yang Feng, who was riding on a rhinoceros, said.
At this time, at the city gate at his feet, the first soldier of the Dangkou Army had already rushed out.
