"His mother's, this time our Lao Tzu finally blocked Chen Bangyan in this Qingyuan County!" Under Ximen Shuai, Li Chengdong raised his horsewhip and pointed in the direction of the city wall with a sigh of relief, "This cowardice provoked our Lao Tzu to make trouble when he attacked Guangxi, and he ran very quickly, and it was very annoying!" I didn't get him blocked a few times before, but I can't run this time! Donkey, when we attack the city, we have to see this cowardice, and see how much he has a sprinkling of bones! ”

Yang Dafu, the general next to him, immediately echoed: "The marshal is right, these southern barbarians just don't know what to do, and they don't know what to do, and they will definitely let them see how powerful we are in a while!" When the time comes, don't grieve the brothers anymore, when you enter the city, you will be killed, you will be killed, you will be burned when you should be burned! Hey, you're still very polite to these barbarians who are bent on rebellion! ”

As soon as Yang Dafu's words fell, there was a burst of laughter and scolding around him, and words such as "donkey hammer" and "into his mother's hair" came and went. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing this burst of arrogant laughter, a young general beside Li Chengdong couldn't help frowning slightly. I saw that this person was about 20 years old, tall and straight, handsome-looking, and magnificent, and he was particularly maverick in a group of generals with fierce faces and rough manners. He is Li Chengdong's adopted son Li Yuanyin. Li Yuanyin's surname is Jia, is a Confucian child in Nanyang, Henan, was plundered by Li Chengdong, who was still the leader of the peasant army, when he was a child, and was adopted by Li Chengdong as an adopted son because of his talent, and then joined the army and followed Li Chengdong to fight in the south and the north. Unlike Li Chengdong and others, Li Yuanyin has been exposed to the books of sages since he was a child, and his temperament is relatively good, and he does not approve of the slaughter of innocent people. I don't know how many times I have persuaded Li Chengdong before, but it has almost no effect. Just now, he knew it as soon as he heard the wild laughter and scolding of Li Chengdong and the generals around him. The people in Qingyuan City will not be able to escape a catastrophe this time.

"Father!"

"What's the matter with my son?" The smile on Li Chengdong's face gradually retracted, and there was already some impatience in his eyes, he seemed to know what Li Yuanyin was going to say.

"After the city is broken later, please let the child lead the headquarters to enter the city first, and kill the Ming army by surprise!" After Li Yuanyin finished speaking, he sighed secretly, he originally persuaded Li Chengdong to stop his subordinates and give up indiscriminate killing, but when he thought of the powerlessness of the previous dissuasion. Seeing Li Chengdong's expression again, he swallowed the words of persuasion on his lips and changed it to take the initiative to ask for help. In this way, I hope to try to stop some unnecessary killings.

"Hahaha...... Good! Li Chengdong said with a smile, "My son can take the initiative to ask for help, I am really happy for my father!" Well, this request is granted to the Father! ”

Between words. A number of Qing army sentinels returned to report. No trace of a large number of Ming troops was found within 50 miles of Qingyuan.

"Good! Our Lao Tzu said that the puppet Ming army is a fucking turtle no matter what time it is! By the time they crawl over, we'll have already finished our work, and by the way, we'll teach those melons a lesson! After listening to the report of the sentry detective, Li Chengdong was even more proud, and after speaking, he commanded sharply to the left and right: "Pass the order, beat the drum!" Besiege! Be sure to take the city before it gets dark! ”

"Yes!"

Soon, Li Chengdong's order spread throughout the army. Rumbling war drums sounded in the east, west, and north directions. With a burst of shouts that went straight to the sky, the Qing army, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, rushed towards Qingyuan County like a tide.

……

On all sides of the city. More than 7,000 officers and men of the Ming Army and the Volunteer Division clenched their weapons and looked nervously at the outside of the city, and the shouts of generals at all levels came and went.

In view of the deployment of the Qing army outside the city, Chen Bangyan, Wang Dongri, Cao Tianqi and others also distributed the defensive forces in the city after some discussion. Among them, the western city wall was defended by Wang Dongri himself with 2,000 officers and soldiers of the headquarters; The northern wall was defended by more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of Cao Tianqi and 500 officers and soldiers of Wang Dongri's department; The eastern wall was defended by more than 2,000 volunteers under Chen Bangyan and another 500 officers and soldiers of Wang Dongri; The southern city wall was defended by the remaining 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Volunteer Division under Chen Bangyan, and the strength of the Qing army in this direction was relatively weak, and the strength of the defense on the city head was naturally less than that on the other walls.

Although Qingyuan County is not a high-rise city, only 7,000 people are still a little stretched for defense. What's more, more than half of these 7,000 people are Minzhuang who do not have much combat effectiveness and lack weapons and equipment, which is insignificant compared to the well-equipped Qing army.

In order to hold on longer, Chen Bangyan tried his best, and even scattered all the silver taels around him, and recruited hundreds of people in the city as reserves. But how much of a role these people who only have hoes and wooden sticks can play, Chen Bangyan has no bottom in his heart. Now, Chen's only hope is that reinforcements will arrive in time. Not long ago, he had sent a letter asking for help to Zhang Jiayu and other volunteers in Dongguan, and had already learned that the new governor of Liangguang, Yang Tinglin, had led reinforcements into Liangguang. Although the current news channel has been blocked by the Qing army, Chen Bangyan does not know whether the reinforcements have come and where they have arrived, but he can only ask for the favor of God to let him hold Qingyuan for a few more days.

……

The Qing army in the west of the city is the most powerful, and nearly 4,000 of the seven or eight thousand people are Li Chengdong's headquarters elite soldiers, almost all of them have armor and are well-equipped, all of them are veterans who have experienced many battles and are loyal to Li Chengdong.

In the rumbling sound of war drums, the black and oppressive Qing soldiers rushed over with neat steps, and the earth trembled, and the smoke and dust continued to roll up.

"Archer prepare!" At the head of the city, Wang Dongri, who was in command on the front line, shouted loudly.

Hundreds of Ming archers on the city drew their bows and arrows together, aiming at the torrent of Qing troops outside the city.

The Qing army is still advancing, and the Ming army on the head of the city can see their every move more and more clearly.

"Look, sir!" A thousand general managers beside Wang Dongri suddenly shouted loudly, "It doesn't seem to be a Tartar at the front!" ”

Wang Dongri fixed his eyes and looked at it, and sure enough, there were many people in cloth clothes in front of the black and oppressive Qing army's large array, there were hundreds of people, and there were almost no decent weapons, which formed a sharp contrast with the well-armored and well-armed Qing troops behind him. Under the threat and control of the Qing army behind him, he was carrying a long ladder or pushing a shield cart towards the city gate.

Seeing this, Wang Dongri couldn't help frowning: "Those seem to be the officers and soldiers of the righteous division who were captured yesterday!" Li Chengdong, this dog, actually remembered to use this method to attack the city! ”

Subsequently. The Qing army was getting closer and closer to the city walls, and gradually entered the range of bows and arrows on the city's heads. At this time, the cries and cries of the captured officers and soldiers of the righteous division who were coerced and controlled by the Qing army also came up.

"Brothers in the city, we are all forced, don't let go of arrows!"

"Please, don't let go of the arrows! I have an old man and a small ...... in my family."

…...

"My lord, what should I do?!" The Qian Zong shouted anxiously to Wang Dongri just now.

It has been stationed in Guangdong for more than a year. Of course, Wang Dongri could understand what the captured righteous officers and soldiers under the city were shouting, but at this time, he had no choice, if he was a little soft-hearted at this juncture. The results are bound to be catastrophic.

"What else can I do?" Wang Dongri shouted, "As long as anyone who comes to attack the city, no matter who comes, they are our enemies!" Give me arrows! ”

"Yes!" Mr. Qian, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally knows that there is no mercy at this time. Therefore, although the heart is unbearable. But he still received the order.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Dense arrows flew towards the Qing army outside the city with a whistling force. Due to the limited number of shield vehicles of the Qing army, it was impossible to achieve effective protection. However, the most dead were the prisoners of the righteous division who were coerced and walked in the forefront, these people walked in the forefront and had no armor as protection, and they had no power to resist in the face of the continuous rain of arrows shot at the head of the city, and were shot to the ground one by one, and the rest of the people in terror threw down the ladders and shield carts in their hands and fled in all directions. But he was soon killed by the Qing army behind him.

Li Chengdong was somewhat surprised by the indiscriminate shooting of the Ming army at the head of the city, but he only sneered. Soon he ordered to adjust the formation and continue to attack.

"Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!!" "Wansheng !!" The shouts of the Qing army outside the city overshadowed the tide after tide, and the chorus of seven or eight thousand people was completely extraordinary, almost shaking the sky and reaching the sky, like a continuous thunderbolt from the head.

Gradually, one by one, the long lifts were set up at the head of the city, and the Qing soldiers began to rush up. At the same time, the Ming officers and soldiers in the city also began to lift the rolling wood and stones and smash them down, or lift the boiling oil and pour it down. The frantic shouts of the Qing army suddenly appeared in bursts of screams.

"Soldiers, it's time to kill the enemy and serve the country! Sacrifice your life for the country, and you have no regrets in dying! Wang Dongri drew his saber and shouted loudly. What followed was a tsunami-like response from the surrounding soldiers: "Kill the enemy!" "Kill!!" "Kill !!" ……

……

At the same time, the fighting in the direction of the East Gate and the North Gate gradually entered the white heat. In these two directions, the Qing army's method of attacking with prisoners achieved far more results than in the west of the city. Because the officers and soldiers of the Yishi and Cao Tianqi troops who defended the city and those who were captured were almost all fellow villagers, and many of them were related to each other, it was difficult for them to shoot indiscriminately like the Ming army of Wang Dongri, and their equipment and training were far inferior to the regular Ming army of Wang Dongri, which made the Qing army's offensive smoother.

The scales of the battle were already tilting in favor of the Qing army.

……

The fierce offensive and defensive battle lasted for several hours, and by the time the sun was setting in the west, the situation on the battlefield finally changed radically.

With bursts of cheers, the east gate was first broken by the Qing army of Shifu Department, and the 2,000 officers and soldiers of the righteous division defending the city almost collapsed, and the more than 500 Shaozhou Zhenming troops as the core force were also consumed in the fierce battle with the Qing army. Under the raging green flag, more and more Qing troops invaded the city.

Immediately afterward, the same scene happened at the North Gate.

Although the officers and soldiers of Shaozhou Town defending the west gate could continue to support, the east and north gates had been broken, and Wang Dongri was worried that he would be outflanked by the Qing army, and he was unwilling to abandon Chen Bangyan and Cao Tianqi, who were still resisting, to break through alone, so he had to lead the army to retreat to the city and meet with the remnants led by Chen Bangyan and Cao Tianqi near the county government in the center of the city.

"General Wang, why don't you break through? It's a Jedi here, what else are you coming from? Seeing Wang Dongri, Chen Bangyan couldn't help but ask loudly. He knew that with Wang Dong's Japanese combat strength, although he could not reverse the overall situation, it was no problem to find the weak point of the Qing army to break through, but he unexpectedly led the army to retreat to the city to come and fight with him.

"My lord is righteous, how can the last general do the treacherous thing that has been accused by others and break through alone?" Wang Dongri cut the railway.

Chen Bangyan was stunned for a moment, sighed, and sighed deeply: "The general is righteous, and the official admires it very much!" ”

Wang Dongri stepped forward to help Chen Bangyan up: "Lord Chen doesn't have to be like this, the Tartars rushed up, killing the enemy is the first priority!" ”

"General Wang's generosity and righteousness are also seen by the last general!" Cao Tianqi hugged Wang Dongri deeply, and shouted at the officers and soldiers of the headquarters around him, "Brothers, if you have eggs, follow me to die here!" Kill one Tartar is enough, kill two and earn one! ”

"Kill!!" The surviving Ming soldiers and the officers and soldiers of the volunteer division shouted together, and their voices were extremely tragic.

At this time, there were only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers left in Shaozhou Town gathered around Wang Dongri, and the rest were divided by the Qing army in various parts of the city, and Chen Bangyan and Cao Tianqi were only a few hundred people left each. Inspired by leading figures such as Chen Bangyan, Wang Dongri, and Cao Tianqi, the last resistance force in their early 3,000s still stubbornly relied on the surrounding buildings to resist the Qing army's attack.

Soon, almost all the surrounding streets and alleys resounded with the rapid running sound of the Qing army and the earth-shattering shout: "Step on Qingyuan!" "Capture Chen Bangyan alive!" "Capture Wang Dongri alive!" "Capture Cao Tianqi alive!" ……

Houses were gradually invaded by the Qing army, and the helpless wails and screams of the people were heard, and some houses had even begun to burn.

Chen Bangyan never expected that the Qing army would attack the city in less than half a day. Seeing the green flag in the nearby sky rushing towards the center of the city, his eyes showed a look of determination, and he silently drew his sword. 、

……

"Hahaha...... His mother's! Under the banner of the Qing army commander outside the West Gate, Li Chengdong laughed proudly, "Our Lao Tzu took Qingyuan in less than half a day." Chen Bangyan's trouble-making melon cowardly finally has no way to live! ”

"Of course, there is a big handsome, no matter what kind of southern barbarians are scattered, there is only one way to die!" Du Yonghe, the deputy general next to him, also laughed and agreed.

Li Chengdong was about to answer, but suddenly heard an abnormal roar from the northeast of Qingyuan City, and then there were bursts of screams and shouts in the cheers of his own army.

"Into his mother's hair! What are Zhang Daoying doing with those melons? It's not even a good thing like that! Could it be that the gang of cowards in the city broke through? Li Chengdong couldn't help but scold. (To be continued.) )
