Two days later, on this morning, five miles away in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, at the bend of a dense forest, Huo Xiong's team emerged, gradually revealing its full lineup, and slowly headed towards the east gate of Chengdu City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huo Xiong and Qu Kun walked side by side, located in the front of the middle of the team, and when they walked, Qu Kun did not forget to say: "Commander Huo, according to the last report of our lurkers in Chengdu City, it is confirmed that the guard in the city is none other than the former Qing Dynasty's minister of economic strategy, Le Bao. All the defenders in it together amounted to about 80,000 men. ”

"However, although they are numerous, they are not very well equipped, and their weapons are mostly broadswords and spears, and the number of people with bird guns is less than 30,000, and the number of red-coated cannons is only a hundred. And, for unknown reasons, just a few days ago, the garrisons outside the city were withdrawn one after another. ”

At this moment, Huo Xiong looked straight at Chengdu City in front of him, the east gate was closing, and the Qing army on the city gate tower was in a commotion, constantly waving flags, wolf smoke was filled, and the police were called.

Listening to Qu Kun's final confirmation of the information, it was not much different from the previous one, so he said lightly without looking back: "Hmm... In this way, there are 20,000 defenders at each of the four gates of Chengdu City, and there are only 25 red-coated cannons. I didn't expect God to help us at this time, those garrisons actually evacuated one after another, if we are lucky, maybe we can capture that old boy alive! ”

"Hehe, Commander Huo, since this is the case, don't give the order to go down, let the soldiers capture Lebao alive, and let this first-class feudal official of the former Qing Dynasty be our prisoner, so as to invite credit to the emperor~!" Qu Kun echoed.

"Hmm~No~" Huo Xiong immediately shook his head to reject this proposal, and then said in a deep voice: "For me, every soldier of the Kongtong Army is my baby bump, not to mention killing one, even if you hurt one, I am very sad!" Ordering to capture Le Bao alive will inevitably tie our soldiers, and in this way, the casualties will rise significantly, I don't want to do such a stupid thing~! ”

At this time, Ruan Yuan on the other side seemed to think of something, and said with emotion: "The army commander is right, issuing such casualties will only increase the casualties of the soldiers in vain, and there is not much benefit." Like Emperor Jianwen of the former Ming Dynasty, he was indecisive and issued an edict not to hurt his uncle Zhu Di. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Ming main forces were killed by Zhu Di's tens of thousands of people and lost their armor, and they turned on their backs. ”

"In the end, Emperor Jianwen ended up running away from home, committed suicide in the South China Sea, and the throne was seized by his uncle Zhu Di, hey......"

......

As he spoke, Huo Xiong's army had already crossed a three-mile journey and stopped at a place two miles east of Chengdu City.

At this moment, Huo Xiong did not immediately order the siege of the city, but waved his hand and ordered: "Release a signal and inform the airship troops that they can act." ”

With a whoosh, a fire shot into the sky, making a sharp sound, like fireworks in the night, exploded at high altitude, and immediately a red fog appeared, suspended in the air, so eye-catching and dazzling, exceptionally clear, and could be seen clearly from miles away.

At the same time, Chengdu City, on the tower of the East Gate, the flags were unfurled, and the tense atmosphere of the imminent war was pervasive, and the defenders of the city were hiding behind the city walls, secretly looking at the direction of Huo Xiong's army, and there was a whispering of discussion.

"Hey, what's wrong with these thieves? How did it stagnate? Looking at the posture just now, it is obvious that it is going to attack the city, it is really strange, and there is no movement at all now. ”

"MD, who knows what these thieves are doing? After making such a big battle, it suddenly stopped, and when all of our people came, we had to teach these people who dared to rebel a hard lesson! ”

"Hey, brothers, it is said that these thieves brought so many people, wouldn't it be just to show off their might outside the city and set off fireworks in broad daylight?"

"Hahaha..., don't say it, maybe it's really possible~!"

......

At this moment, Lebao was also on the tower of the city gate, and next to him stood Mingming, his henchman, the man on his right hand. Holding the binoculars, he observed Huo Xiong's team, with a puzzled look on his face, and muttered to himself: "It's really strange, these thieves are about 30,000 people, and they actually dare to attack Chengdu City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Well... No, since ancient times, it has been a taboo for soldiers to stop their troops at the end of the battle, don't these thieves even understand this military common sense? ”

However, Mingming, who had been standing there quietly, frowned deeply, and said worriedly: "My lord, judging from the march of these anti-thieves just now, the queue is neat and orderly, it is obvious that these anti-thieves are different from those of the White Lotus Sect in the past, they advance and retreat in a measured manner, they are disciplined, and the place where they are stagnant is just outside the range of our red-clothed cannons, things should not be so simple." As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons, and there must be something greasy in them! ”

Hearing this, Le Bao's body was shocked, and then he put down the binoculars, looked straight at the brightness, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think will be boring in it?" ”

Mingliang shook his head, also puzzled, but, looking at the red smoke that gradually dissipated, he said affirmatively: "My lord, those anti-thieves stopped moving, but they set off a firework, making a striking red smoke, if the humble position is not mistaken, the cat is on this red smoke, it is very likely to be some kind of signal, maybe there are other anti-thieves waiting for the opportunity!" ”

Le Bao's heart moved, nodded thoughtfully, seemed to have figured out something, and immediately ordered: "Inform those officers and soldiers to stay still and guard the other city gates, so as not to fall for the tricks of these anti-thieves, these anti-thieves in front of them are likely to be a fish, wanting to attract our attention, so as to gather all the forces in the city at the east gate." ”

After Le Bao gave the order, Le Bao said approvingly: "My lord, it is very likely that once most of the forces in the city are concentrated at the east gate, the other three city gates will become our weak points in defense, and it will be difficult to resist the fierce attack of the thieves. ”

"This trick of the lord is the most secure, with the dangerous terrain of Chengdu City, the city is high and easy to defend, plus 6,000 bird soldiers and 25 red-clothed cannons, only with these 30,000 or so troops, the anti-thieves don't want to break through the east gate."

Le Bao smiled, and the bright words said to his heart, which was exactly his intention, faintly a little complacent, not as bleak as just now, and the tension and urgency of the war were about to break out.

At this moment, Le Bao's smile disappeared, and the old face stiffened in surprise, raised his right hand in a daze, pointed to the east, and said distractedly: "That~ What is that?" ”

Looking in the direction of the coach's finger, Mingliang was suddenly dumbfounded, only to see hundreds of oval-shaped objects floating in the air, like a ship and not a ship, covering the sky and the sun, slowly coming. For the ancients, this scene was simply shocking, as if they saw a flood beast, and they were all stunned, stunned by this scene in front of them!

However, whether you believe it or not, everything is happening, and those strange objects continue to fly over, which is Huo Xiong's airship troops.

In any case, Le Bao is a veteran of the battlefield after all, and he is used to seeing many big scenes and can withstand the test. Despite the shocking and unbelievable things in front of him, Le Bao quickly woke up from the shock and immediately realized that the situation was not good, far from what he had imagined, and that the thieves were not using a maneuver.

Immediately, Le Bao did not hesitate, calmly looked at the unknown flying objects, which were still more than two miles away, and calmly shouted: "All the bird guns obey the order, aim the muzzles of the bird guns at the sky, and once those unknown flying objects approach, come to the sky above the city gate, shoot immediately!" ”

Lebao's shouting was like thunder on the ground, and it exploded in the ears of the defenders, immediately waking them up from their shock, and then in a panic, they picked up the bird gun and aimed it at the sky, waiting for the airship to approach. Almost without command, the archer immediately draws his arrow, attaches it to a hard bow, and is able to bend his bow and shoot an arrow at any time.

Obviously, Huo Xiong's airship troops discovered all this, and one by one the airships began to climb, and when they flew to the sky above the east gate of Chengdu City, they were nearly three hundred meters high, which was already outside the range of birds and arrows. The airship continued to fly, penetrating deep into the hinterland of Chengdu City, and began to spread.

At this moment, there was a great turmoil in Chengdu, and the people in the city were terrified, and regarded the airship as a divine object from the sky, what did it portend?

All of a sudden, as the first common people prostrate on the ground, kneeling there, one after another, a large number of people began to kneel there, constantly kowtowing, as if pounding garlic, and there were still words in their mouths: "God bless ~ God manifests!" ”

Bang bang bang ...

Whoosh...

The defenders' birds and bows and arrows were tilted towards the sky, constantly attacking, the arrows were as dense as rain, and the bullets were like wasps, but even so, there was still no achievement, and the fur that could not be injured was still not the slightest, and the airship passed by so easily and leisurely, as if entering a no-man's land!

The airships continued to go deeper, and when the last dozen airships were suspended above the east gate, lined up horizontally, and stood still, suddenly, these dozen airships were like hens laying eggs continuously, and many objects fell on their abdomen, either smashing on the city wall or falling near the city wall.

Boom boom boom ....

In an instant, a violent explosion suddenly appeared, making a rumbling sound, deafening, as if it was about to tear the heavens and the earth, like a beast that was constantly roaring, roaring the heavens and the earth, making people's bodies tremble, and the thick smoke of gunpowder filled the air, completely covering the east gate.

At this moment, Huo Xiong's 30,000 army is still standing still, as if he is waiting for something? At this moment, all the airships that went deep into Chengdu City stopped, distributed all over the city, the airships were slowly descending vertically, and when there were still dozens of meters from the ground, suddenly, ropes emerged from the belly of the airship, and they went down, and then, one by one the soldiers wore gloves in both hands, holding the ropes, and slid down quickly, just like a god soldier from the sky.

When the rumbling explosion sounded, the people on the street fled in a hurry, and at this time the building was empty, and there was no one on the street. If those people were still there, they would still be prostrate on the ground like they did just now, constantly kneeling and worshipping, not knowing what else they would be muttering.

The airship soldiers simply landed on the ground neatly, one fell to the ground and rolled over, withdrawing from the ground, holding a submachine gun, vigilant around, all the movements were done in one go, smooth and natural, quite skilled, and the cooperation was also very tacit, one after another, methodically, in order, making a dull sound of trampling the earth.

Bang bang bang ...

Immediately afterwards, the airborne troops of the airship did not stay any longer, holding submachine guns in both hands, taking the company and platoon as a unit, alternately covering and cooperating with each other, scattering in all directions, and for a while, in the city of Chengdu, the gunfire was loud, one after another, just like firecrackers during the New Year, and the sound of explosions was everywhere.

Da Da...

Bang bang bang....
