"If you don't level the earthen wall of the official gou, we will die on the left and right, and the city is full of relatives and elders, swear to ask the army, how to do it?!"

Li Jiucheng is brave and extraordinary, even if he was besieged by the Ming army in Dengzhou City, he still refused to accept his fate, just went out of the city to fight with all kinds of military horses, and the Ming army retreated again and again, relying on the support of the city's artillery, the Ming army could only shoot with artillery,

Tens of thousands of people were sent to build towering earthen walls on all sides of Dengzhou City, and then stationed troops and horses from all walks of life to defend the city, changing the Ming army's field battle to the strength of defending the city, but even so, it was embarrassed by Li Jiucheng, and even sometimes, it had to be defeated.

"Don't agree, kill the thief!"

At this time, the rebels in Dongjiang Town, Dengzhou, saw that the Ming army was besieging the city and killing the local soldiers and civilians, so they all moved forward bravely and refused to admit defeat easily.

"Kill!"

But on the other side, the counterinsurgency army of Dongjiang Town, which was also fighting to the death, led by the chief military officer Huang Long himself, more than 2,000 dead soldiers, swarmed to block the gap to prevent the rebels from destroying the earthen wall and destroying the artillery.

"Generalissimo, let's stay away from the city wall, the artillery in the city can't hit here, and the official army has a large army to come to reinforce it, let's retreat a little bit and lead them to the city to fight again."

Mao Chenglu was also stained with a lot of blood, but he looked worriedly at the Ming army that came up from all directions, almost several times as many times as them, so he was also a little afraid, after all, the Ming army had fought with them for half a year, and now it has gradually become proficient, and it is no longer the army that was about to collapse back then.

But Li Jiucheng was really unwilling, he finally broke the Ming army under the earthen wall, and seeing that he could destroy all the artillery, An Neng easily retreated. So he roared, and swung his sword forward,

"Hugh has to say more, and kill me with me."

"Poof. Burst~! ”

At this time, Li Jiucheng, who was followed by a large number of personal guards, was particularly conspicuous among the fighting soldiers, and the artillery was placed on the earthen wall. Trembling with fright, eight or nine out of ten people even wanted to run away, but Peng Youmo personally brought people up to block it, and ordered people to pack up the artillery, turn the muzzle, and fire at the place where Li Jiucheng was.

"Kill the thief with a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, and whoever takes half a step back without an order will kill Wuhe~!"

When he personally drew his sword and slashed to death the two gunners who tried to escape, no one dared to run away from the four or five artillery positions on this side. Under Peng Youmo's strict orders, they are easy to fight at the so-called thief position, but unfortunately the cannon has no eyes, and they don't know where to hit when they are discharged.

"Reload, reload, quick!"

Peng Youmo stretched out his head to take a look, and saw that the cannon hit the side of the crowd, bringing a burst of bloody rain, but he didn't hit the thief's head. Immediately slapped his thigh in frustration, and continued to order his subordinates to quickly load, and he leaned out himself, comparing the positions and angles of the two sides with his hands. But at this moment, a lead bullet came up from under the earthen wall.

"Bang~"

It turned out to be a rebel in Dongjiang Town, and when he saw the cannon firing on the earthen wall, he was immediately angry, and when he saw that it seemed that a court general leaned out and peeked, he was even more angry. The few cannons just now were all fought in the most fierce places, and after going down, there were more than a dozen casualties, including those of the Ming army and the rebels, how could he endure it.

"Ah~! I hurt me~! ”

Thanks to Peng Youmo's good luck, this shot was originally aimed at him to expose half of his head, but he didn't think that half of his head could not be seen clearly, so he leaned out a little bit, and since then, the entire upper body has been blocked by the earthen wall, and it is also thanks to this, this shot was only hit in his shoulder, but when he saw the bullet part, a ball of blood exploded directly, and the penetration of this lead bullet was still not enough, and it was directly stuck in it and did not penetrate it.

"General, how is this good?"

When the soldiers under his command saw it, they immediately panicked, and they came up to try to carry him away, but Peng Youmo has gone crazy today, and coupled with the seduction of the thief leader who still fights to the death below, how can he easily retreat if he wants to kill the thief and make meritorious contributions,

So with a push of his hand, he waved back all the soldiers who met him, and with another uninjured hand, he held the knife in his hand, and shouted to those fearful generals, "This general doesn't even want his own life, who dares to take a half step back and try." ”

He still had a bleeding wound on his body, and with this face that was about to eat people, everyone was immediately frightened, so no one dared to continue to retreat, and thought that he would not retreat even if he was a general, what could they complain about, so the speed of loading the cannon was faster.

"Phew, where did someone shoot the artillery, it actually hit my side, Mao Chenglu, you take someone to kill me, be sure to destroy all these artillery,"

Li Jiucheng was also frightened by this round of shelling, if he deviated by half a point, I am afraid that he would not be spared, but the more this happens, the more it proves that the artillery threat on this earthen wall is threatened, and now it is only four or five tiger squat cannons fired, there is such a might, if the eight general cannons transferred from other places by the imperial court fire together, will they still have a way to live?

"Eh, soldiers, kill with me~!"

Mao Chenglu knew that his persuasion was ineffective, so he could only take the people around him and start to fight against the earthen wall, the rebels in Dongjiang Town, in fact, knew in their hearts that in front of the general cannon transferred by the imperial court, they were defeated only sooner or later, and even if they broke the earthen wall of Nancheng and destroyed the two artillery pieces left here, what could they do!

But the rebels suddenly exerted their strength, which still shocked the Ming army and made them relieved, and Mao Chenglu immediately made a decision, and took two hundred dead soldiers to climb the earthen wall with ropes and ladders, and began to chase and kill the fleeing Ming army, but even he didn't notice that at a distance of forty or fifty steps to the west, several tiger squat cannons that were struggling to be loaded had adjusted their angles and were ready to fire.

And the most important task of the dead soldiers led by him was to attack and destroy the two solid general cannons protected by the Ming army, so the time was repeatedly delayed, and the dead soldiers led by him were also dragged by the Ming army around the general cannons, and they had no time to take care of other directions.

"Ah~!"

And the more than a dozen rebels in Dongjiang Town, when they tried to destroy these tiger squat cannons to the west, they couldn't withstand the attack of the guards led by Peng Youmo's side, and after killing these soldiers who tried to stop them, Peng Youmo was even more anxious, and now the rebels have gone up to the earthen wall, if they don't fire artillery, there will be no chance.

"The one who is feared by the thief army is the artillery, now the gap is the army of Dongjiang Town, there will be no worries in a moment, Wu Sangui, you take five hundred men and horses to get off the wall and block the rebels' offensive for me from above, I will lead the troops and horses here to be ready to respond at any time."

At this time, on both sides of the southwest side of the earthen wall, a large force of cavalry appeared at the same time, where thousands of horsemen, the violent sound of stampede galloping, can be clearly felt on the earthen wall, but fortunately, the person who came was the Liaodong Guanning Iron Cavalry who came up to reinforce it, and the ancestor Kuan led by him went to the bottom of the earthen wall, and he knew the general trend with a sweep, and immediately ordered Wu Sangui's subordinates to reinforce the earthen wall, after all, they relied on it for a living, and the artillery that attacked the city was the most important thing!

"Whoa!"

Wu Sangui had a resolute face, wearing silver and bright armor, after receiving the order, he turned over and dismounted in a chic manner, and hundreds of horses behind him also jumped off the horse in an instant, all of them jumped off the horse, and the whole action was as natural as drifting clouds, without any extra action, which shows the elite of this horse.

"Thieves must not be allowed to damage the artillery, or everything will be over."

Wu Sangui is divided into the urgency of the matter, and now the main force besieging Dengzhou City is not the tens of thousands of Ming troops placed below the city, but the eight general cannons specially transported from the Beijing Division, each weighing 1,000 catties, transported continuously for a month with four oxen, before it was barely sent to the front line, each cannon weighs more than 10 catties, hitting the city, it is a depression, and it is really a siege weapon.

Li Jiucheng continued to go out of the city to engage in battles, and he was also afraid of this, once the Ming army gained a firm foothold, he only needed to fire outside the range of his own artillery, and he could break through Dengzhou City, and the rebel army, which would only have more than 30,000 people, would not be able to defeat the main force of the Ming army mobilized from all over the country in any case.

"Kill!"

"Destroy this artillery."

Wu Sangui, who went up to the city wall, met Mao Chenglu, who was desperate to destroy artillery, and immediately knew the other party's plan, so there were no extra words, and the two strongest Liaodong soldiers and horses in the world fought together like this, and both sides fought to the death, because no one knew that they had no way out.

Mao Chenglu had already destroyed a big general cannon before Wu Sangui came up, but the threat of the other one was also huge, so he had no choice, he had to block this invading enemy, so that the remaining people had enough time to calmly destroy this huge threat.

"Hurry up~ Aim quickly, shoot another shot, fire another shot, you must kill him."

Peng Youmo was already completely crazy, the huge pain of the wound was destroying his body and mind, even if it was autumn now, but his forehead and body were covered with sweat and stickiness, but now he couldn't care about this, so he just ordered the gunner to raise the tiger squat cannon, block the back with a huge wooden flail, and then aimed at a certain thief in armor at the bottom and ordered to fight left and right.

He didn't even know who that person was, but he knew that the thieves who looked at the guards around this person were all wearing battle armor and holding the most sophisticated weapons, and there was not even a Ming army that was their enemy when they fought, so in the same way, Peng Youmo also recognized him wholeheartedly to fight.

"Puff~Puff~!"

"Ah~"

The inclination of the angle, the huge recoil of the artillery fire, even directly wounded one of the Ming soldiers who opened the artillery...... (To be continued.) )
