"Qi Niu is now brave, far better than old age."

A little farther away, Shi Jingyan followed Yu Guozhen's side, smiling and laughing. Of course, he will not be jealous of Qi Niu, on the contrary, he feels very glorious, because Qi Niu is actually his disciple.

"This is the last glory of personal bravery, but unfortunately, Shi Weng also looked at it, artillery, firearms, if used properly, sooner or later will replace spears and broadswords and become the main weapons in the battlefield. At that time, Lao Niu's strength and kung fu can only be used to play in his spare time. ”

"The old man thinks that being able to kill the enemy with less effort is the true meaning of martial arts." Shi Jingyan said with a smile: "But what the little official said is that in the future, a rough person like Lao Yu who eats on knives, guns and sticks will be afraid that he will have no work, and now he can still come in handy, and Lao Yu will fight!" ”

He is a simple man, and he does not have a long-term vision, but even this will, if he is a little more fair-minded, he will be able to judge the usefulness of gunpowder weapons for future wars, and will not do the same thing as some Tartar chieftains who wear the skin of "holy kings" to prohibit and seal firearms.

Hearing that he asked for battle, Yu Guozhen also smiled: "I am about to use the power of Shi Weng." ”

While the two were talking and laughing, the second round of artillery bombardment began again, this time with six guns fired at once, and because the two large fires in the north and south were well illuminated, the bloody shelling situation made this street completely become a bloody hell.

This time Zhang Kewang was not so lucky, a bullet was inserted into his arm, although he was wearing armor, but the bullet still tore a bloody wound on his shoulder.

"Go!"

He looked around, both sad and desperate, the other party's round of artillery bombarded his subordinates nearly 100 times, and they didn't want to deal with it, the other party would continue to use artillery and muskets to harvest!

"Rush with me!"

This time, he didn't stay behind, but rushed to the front first, and when he saw Qi Niu's figure, he rushed straight to this side.

"Shh

Qi Niu took the whistle around his neck into his mouth, and then blew out three long and two short sounds, and behind him, dozens of guards of the teaching team immediately formed a formation, blocking the artillery and musket queue.

At a distance of more than ten zhang, Zhang Kewang rushed to it in a blink of an eye, and behind him, Liukou also realized that it was time to fight hard, so they rushed one after another. Seeing that they were approaching, suddenly, behind the artillery, there was a sharp sound of locks.

"Da Di Da, Da, Da!"

"Kill!"

The guards reflexively carried out a counter-charge towards the thieves, in the sound of the lock, their counter-charge appeared extremely sharp, Qi Niu took the lead, but in the alley, he did not use a horse lance, but a long knife, almost half the size of a door, which was originally used to give the horse forage, but in his hands, it became a sharp weapon to plunder human life.

A knife swept out, Zhang Kewang was also brave, blocked with a vertical blade, and then the whole person was knocked out, Qi Niu's knife was not weakened, and a thief beside him was broken into two, and the intestines flowing out of the abdominal cavity also flew out, just smashing the other thief in the face.

Qi Niu chased after Zhang Kewang with a cruel smile, and the thief also rushed up and protected Zhang Kewang, but the big knife was like a dog's head in Qi Niu's hand, and the thieves were half a cut in half, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten rogues were cut to the ground by him.

The thief wanted to attack Qi Niu after going around to the side, but the teaching team on Qi Niu's side firmly protected his wings with a strict formation, and no matter how the thief attacked, he did not waver in the slightest. With Qi Niu as the arrow, the teaching team formed a cone formation and rushed towards the most thieves.

The narrow streets once again limited the advantage of the thieves' large numbers, and to the south of them, Shi Jingyan had already mounted his horse, and the horse lance in his hand was glowing coldly in the firelight.

"Changshu Shidian is here, let's die!"

Shi Jingyan shouted angrily, and his horse rushed forward, and behind him, dozens of guards also followed and began to assault!

For the thieves who were on the verge of collapse, this was the last straw that broke the camel's back. They met an elite that knew how to use firearms intensively, and this elite also possessed the courage and ability to assault in melee combat. Such a force is almost the first to come close in this era, and only rely on personal bravery and a large number of thieves, where can they compete with it!

Some of the thieves in the collapse let out a final cry of despair, some looked like dead fish and waited to be killed, and some threw their weapons and knelt with their heads in their hands. Among them, kneeling is obviously the majority, anyway, these habitual thieves, kneeling and surrendering three or five times, not seven or eight times, in their opinion, temporarily surrendered, and then reversed is like a common thing.

"Dazhu, Wu Ya, take the musket team to the city to support." Yu Guozhen looked at the tall pillar beside him who was eager to try and ordered.

Ye Wuya was directing the battle on the opposite side, so he wanted to use the lock to pass the order to him, and the tall pillar immediately went up to the city wall. There were originally some guards at the head of the city, who were fighting fiercely with the thieves who were trying to climb the city outside the city, and the arrival of the musket team made them get strong reinforcements, and after a row of muskets, the thieves outside the city temporarily retreated, they were originally going to enter the city through the city gate, but now they did not have the tools to climb the city wall, and most importantly, they were cut off from Zhang Kewang by the boulders falling from the city tower, so they could only go back to rest and wait for the organization to fight again.

Yu Guozhen sighed, feeling a little sorry in his heart, his trap was originally intended for Zhang Xianzhong. Among the rogues, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are the most troubled. Although Yu Guozhen did not believe in the so-called Zhang Xianzhong's slaughter of Sichuan - after Zhang Xianzhong's death, his subordinates still relied on the Sichuan border to fight fiercely against the Manchu Qing for ten years, if they were really slaughtered by Zhang Xianzhong, how could there be such a possibility. But everywhere Zhang Xianzhong went, there were remnants of the people, and there was almost no construction, and this kind of rogue habit was undeniable.

But it's not bad to be able to catch Zhang Kewang, this person should be Sun Kewang, who later left his name. Yu Guozhen thought that Zhang Xianzhong took a child in his early ten years old as a righteous son and took him to the north and south, and suddenly felt that he was somewhat similar to himself in this regard, except that he accepted a righteous son, and only taught him the strategy of destruction, he accepted the students, and in addition to teaching them destruction, he also taught them the art of construction.

"Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen, who is Yu Guozhen, come out and fight with me!"

Zhang Kewang led the people to be pressed by Qi Niu step by step, and soon retreated to the city gate, at this time, he saw clearly that blocking the city gate was a huge cage, which contained tens of thousands of catties of boulders, which were hung on the inside of the city gate by a winch. After they entered the city, although they also sent men to rob the city, there were not many people who went up to the city, and they immediately found the wooden fence, so they ignored the large cage.

Seeing this, he knew how wrong it was for him to choose Simon to break in. At this time, he was in a desperate situation, and he did not think of surrendering, but wanted to have a final duel with Yu Guozhen.

Yu Guozhen heard his shout and smiled slightly.

"You shouted, you wanted to catch a real roe deer, and you caught a raccoon by mistake." He said to the guard next to him.

"I wanted to catch a real roe deer, but I caught a raccoon by mistake! I wanted to catch a real roe deer, but I caught a raccoon by mistake! ”

The surrounding guards didn't know what they meant for a while, but Yu Guozhen had an order, so he naturally shouted. Zhang Kewang heard this, and after being stunned, he understood the meaning, "Zhenroe" refers to Zhang Xianzhong, and "Qianxi" refers to him whose original name is Sun Kewang!

In a rage, he rushed to this side, but at this time, there were rows of gunfire at the head of the city, and the musket team at the head of the city was condescending, and began to shoot at the most dense place of thieves.

Only Zhang Kewang was still standing alone, he looked around, his heart was desolate, he never expected that the first time he was alone was when he was defeated and killed.

"Yu Guozhen, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"

He slashed his knife at the neck, and with a sharp pull, blood gushed out of the knife, and the body fell to the ground.

"This guy is surnamed Lie, and he originally wanted to be taken prisoner...... But also, if you change to an old man like a thief, I'm afraid that I will surrender immediately when I see that the situation is not good. Yu Guozhen said casually: "Okay, the rest of the people, all bundle up, and send someone to report their safety to Senator Shi...... Well, by the way, I told them that if you want to do more credit, you can go out of the city to attack the enemy. ”

Yu Guozhen has no intention of covering everything, this time he has defended the city so far, almost all the goals he wants to achieve have been achieved, he has trained soldiers, made meritorious contributions, and gained enough prestige.

Moreover, this battle only eliminated Zhang Kewang, and did not capture Zhang Xianzhong. Even Yu Guozhen can't guess Zhang Xianzhong's next reaction. He had a vague idea in his heart that Zhang Xianzhong might not have regarded Wu'wei County as one thing at all, and his real goal was not Wu' Wei County.

For Zhang Xianzhong, he never cares about the gains and losses of one city and one place.

"Yes. What to do with the captives? ”

"Escort into the camp first, wait for screening, kill those who should be killed, and apprentices who should be killed." The corners of Yu Guozhen's mouth curved slightly: "As for Zhang Kewang's corpse...... Let's give it to Shi Kefa together, and let him see how to share the credit. ”

Yu Guozhen is not afraid of Shi Kefa's embezzlement of credit, Shi Kefa's ability may not be very good, but this bit of character is still there. He must have come to find himself at that time, and the two discussed how to decide on the distribution of merits.

Gao Dazhu answered, and then ordered a guard to go to the yamen to deliver the message.

At this time, in the yamen, Shi Kefa still kept his composure, and in the sound of cannons, guns and fighting from the west city, he sat down and began to write a testament.

In the testament, he reviewed his experience of fighting with the Liukou, summed up several lessons, and then put forward a lot of suggestions in a wordful manner, the first one is still the same old-fashioned, you must appoint a righteous gentleman, as for who is a righteous gentleman, of course, it is the Donglin lineage. In order to strengthen the persuasiveness of his suggestion, Shi Kefa also deliberately recalled the "merits" of his teacher Zuo Guangdou and others when he fought with the eunuchs, but did not mention it at all, and only after the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he captured and killed Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop.

Half of the testament was written, but he didn't wait for the thieves to come to the door, Shi Kefa felt that God gave him a chance. Luo Zhimei and Yan Jue, on the other hand, couldn't sit steadily, they had already gone out to see it several times, and then returned to Shi Kefa's side, pulling and pulling the white silk hanging on the roof beam, hesitating whether to hang themselves up now.

At this moment, there was finally a commotion at the door, Luo Zhihai and Yan Jue thought that the last moment was coming, and they had tears in their eyes, and then said goodbye to each other, putting the white silk around their necks.

Then, they heard a shout from outside: "Victory, victory, Yu Gongzi ambushed the thief Qu Zhang Kewang and succeeded, we won a big victory!" ”

As soon as the two of them were excited, they accidentally kicked over the stool under their feet, and immediately hung on the beam and danced with their hands.
