Kong Luan squinted at Xing Yidao, and said in his heart, how did this iron-blooded man who usually can't see any heart suddenly become like this.

However, when he said this, Kong Luan also understood in his heart that although Xing Yidao had recently made some mistakes due to psychological reasons, in general, he still couldn't erase those great feats he had made.

Yuan Zongdi was ordered by Li Zicheng to increase the defense of De'an Mansion, but he did not obediently do things, and entered Runing with 100,000 soldiers and horses and took the initiative to find the Shandong army.

According to Shunbing's previous urine, these 100,000 people must have been filled with water, don't say whether there are 100,000 people, anyway, one thing can be sure, it will definitely not be less.

Speaking of which, he only joined the Shandong Army last year, and he is still a foreign general, although he is now an adjutant, but the credit he has made in the past six months is nothing compared with the punishment.

Xing Yidao fought two bloody battles in Dengzhou and Guide, and each time everyone thought he was dead, but in the end he survived and bought enough time for the Shandong army's counterattack.

Just like Zhu Wenzheng, the general who fought in Hongdu at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he had a very high prestige in the Shandong army.

I didn't know about the previous Dengzhou incident, and I could only hear about it from other people's ears, but he had personally experienced the battle of Guide Mansion.

Tortured to defend the city, killing like a bloody man, almost dying of exhaustion on the battlefield, but still not taking a step back, it can be said to be a turning point in this battle.

If Anton Hou didn't trust his loyalty and ability, he would naturally not give him such an important place as Tuocheng.

The two bloody battles and the great feats on his shoulders have proved that Xing Yidao has excellent command skills on the battlefield and has a calm and calm mentality.

At this time, if there is less punishment, can you suppress those generals in your lineage, of course, the answer is no.

Thinking of this, Kong Luan stood up and said:

"That's it! I immediately rushed to Shangcai with 10,000 people to stabilize the situation, and smash all those demagogic ones out and chop them up and feed them to the dogs, but the city of Runing Mansion still depends on the criminal lord to sit in the future! ”

Xing Yidao glanced at him a little confused, nodded, and didn't say much,

Seeing him like this, Kong Luan also knew that it would be useless for him to persuade him again, so he could only remind the staff officer with his eyes and signal to take a step to speak.

When the two of them came to the door, Kong Luan said to him in an eager tone:

"Staff Officer Li, at this time, the master of the punishment must not fall, otherwise he will be exploited by the thief, once our side can't hold on, don't say that Hou Ye's plan to go south will be ruined, and even Guide and Shandong Liufu are also in danger!"

This Staff Officer Li can be selected and sent by Li Yan and others, naturally he is loyal to Wang Zheng, and he has some real talents, and after hearing this, he knows that Kong Luan has selfish intentions.

But Kong Luan said this clearly, and he didn't hide it, and it seemed that it was indeed a time of great urgency.

Staff Officer Li knew Kong Luan's position, he was in the position of Guide and Shun army, and it was impossible to surrender, because Li Zicheng would definitely cut him with one sword.

So for him, the only backer who can keep his net worth is Wang Zheng, and the only place that can change his future is the Shandong Army, and this big tree must not fall.

Staff Officer Li understood everything in his heart, and immediately looked back at Xing Yidao, who was squatting there holding his head, and nodded quietly.

Kong Luan clenched his right hand into his left chest, made a military salute solemnly, and said in a deep voice:

"After Shangcai is stabilized, the last general will rush back immediately, Staff Officer Li, you must persuade the main general, please!"

After speaking, Kong Luan turned over his horse and went straight to the barracks.

Later, Staff Officer Li and Xing Yidao talked a lot, but Xing Yidao couldn't listen to it, and sat there all day without knowing what he was thinking.

Until the middle of June, Yuan Zongdi's army came to the city of Runing Mansion.

Before the start of the war, the thieves took the helmets of the slain Shandong soldiers and showed off their guns back and forth, and scolded them for all kinds of ugly things, with the purpose of breaking the morale of the Shandong army.

The soldiers of the Shandong Army, you look at me, I look at you, they are all sighing, the main general has not had any military orders for a few days, and they are all a little confused.

The leader of the thieves in the city seemed to see something, and ran back with a few laughs.

Yuan Zongdi immediately ordered the siege of the city, and more than 30,000 people of the Shandong army and the Shun soldiers who claimed to be 100,000 started a fierce battle again.

Suddenly, he gripped the hilt of his knife.

"What Staff Officer Li said is right, what Kong Luan said is right, these thieves are not qualified to let me be punished and sink like this."

Speaking to himself, Xing Yidao looked at a military general behind him fiercely, and shouted:

"General Chuanben's order, the firearm battalion will go to the city, light artillery and heavy artillery, and the bird gun team, aim and fight again, hit hard!"

The general looked at the torture knife in astonishment for a while, and only then did he react when he reminded him again, and he was full of excitement, and he made a military salute vigorously, and shouted loudly at the pacesetter behind him who was also a little surprised:

"What are you still doing in a daze, the Lord will have an order, and the firearms battalion will enter the city!"

"Firearms Battalion Ascends the City!"

It didn't take long for the city walls to be filled with this kind of exuberant sound of orders, and the pacesetters spread this order to the ears of every soldier.

The firearms battalion, which had already been prepared, pushed the gun carts, took the bird guns and climbed the city wall, stood in a row, and let out a deafening roar in the face of the black thieves under the city.

In an instant, the cannon at the head of Runing Mansion rang out.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Although the armor of the Shun soldiers has changed over the years, the homeless people and ordinary foot soldiers are only equipped with leather armor and waist knives, and it is still difficult to resist the bird guns and artillery of the Shandong army.

The power of the general cannon is huge, the gunner replaces the solid lead bullet and loads it with loose bullets, and when a shell is launched into the sky, it often turns into several lead bullets and smashes down, leaving a blood pit on the ground.

Although the range is not far, the rate of fire is fast and easy to transport, and it can exert its greatest power in close city defense battles.

It didn't take long for the shouts of the Shun soldiers to turn into a terrible howl, and just when they were trembling, they heard the sound of the city gate "creaking" open.

Looking up, the soldiers and horses of the Shandong army lined up in a neat array walked out of the city with an indomitable momentum, steel guns like a forest, and shining armor were connected.

Xing Yidao rode in front of the horse, he suddenly beckoned, and said quietly:

"The reason why there is today's situation is all the fault of the general, but my Shandong army can't let these young people look down on it, after this battle, the general will ask the Hou Ye for guilt!"

Speaking of this, Xing Yidao pointed the knife forward in his hand, his eyes were like an eagle having found its prey, and he said coldly:

"Shandong Army, array!"

"Drink!"

Immediately after, after a simple change, the soldiers of the Shandong Army quickly formed a conical formation, put the tiger spear in their hands behind their backs, took out the axe and spear, and rushed forward.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The two sides were close to each other, and even the auxiliaries in the city were moved by this battle situation, picking up the swords and guns on the ground and rushing out to help in the battle.

......

A few days later, Kong Luan, who was still in Shangcai rectification, received a report from the pacesetter, although the pacesetter was tired and out of breath, but he was ecstatic.

The chief general of the Wengzhou Mansion of the Shandong Army led 30,000 regular soldiers with a knife, broke more than 60,000 soldiers led by Yuan Zongdi, and beheaded 12,000.

It is said that in this battle, all the morale of the Shandong army was like a rainbow, and under the leadership of the torture knife, they confronted the Shun army head-on, and the thieves knew nothing about the axe and gun array, and they were immediately crushed at the touch of a button.

The Shandong army pursued relentlessly, the corpses of the soldiers were all over the field, scattered and defeated, the general Niu Wancai died in the hands of a knife, and the commander Yuan Zongdi was seriously injured by him and fled.

Hearing the news, Kong Luan was a little out of shape, and he almost didn't hold the knife in his hand.

"What do you say, kill Niu Wancai, cut Yuan Zongdi to serious injuries, and 30,000 people went out of the city to defeat 60,000 Shun troops!?"
