30 Ambushes on all sides, and the fall of Li Zicheng
Zhongmu County is located on the bank of the Yellow River, one of the most birthplaces of Chinese civilization, with a long and splendid history and culture, leaving many cultural monuments. Zhongmu is located between Zheng Bian, with an important strategic position, and is a battleground for soldiers of all dynasties. Li Zicheng learned about the importance of Zhongmu County when he attacked Henan and occupied it. After Li Long passed Kaifeng, the pursuers chased to Zhongmu County and did not enter, so they stationed the army in Guandu Town, the ancient battlefield. After the first battle of Kaifengdong, Li Zicheng's army of 70,000 or 80,000 was lost, and Li Long's losses were mainly about 4,000 people.
"Commander, 5,000 copies of the letter of persuasion have been copied, do you want to shoot into the city" Yang Dali hurriedly came
Li Long sat in the command post of Guandu, thought for a while, and said: "It's still early, Li Zicheng's 80,000 reinforcements from Ruyang haven't arrived yet, and I'll be talking when I get there."
"Army commander, why don't you conquer Zhongmu County and capture Li Zicheng in one breath, if you wait for the Ruyang reinforcements to arrive, won't it cause a lot of casualties to our army?" Yang Dali said
"Put a long line and catch a big fish, just now I received a report from the 800-mile expedited army that Zhang Cheng's First Army has passed through Shanghai County, and it will be able to attack Wuchang Mansion in a few days. Our army is now stronger than Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng has Zhongmu County to defend, and our army must not attack strongly, otherwise it will cause great casualties," Li Long said
"But Li Zicheng is now a turtle with a shrunken head and refuses to come out to fight our army, what should I do?" Yang Dali said
"If he doesn't come out, and our army won't attack the city, let's spend it. As long as he comes out to fight with our army in the field, he will definitely be able to completely annihilate Li Zicheng's troops, if he doesn't come out, he will wait...... After Li Jiantai on the northern line, Liu Shupei on the western line and Zhang Chengdu on the southern line were in place, they attacked Li Zicheng at the appointed time. Li Long laughed
It's too cloudy.
The army has surrounded Zhongmu County for three days, and during this time, Li Long's army did not attack or retreat, but guarded Guandu, ten miles away from Zhongmu County, and Li Zicheng did not dare to fight.
Li Zicheng's famous general Gao Yili led the 80,000 troops under the command of the starry night to come to the aid, the army has arrived twenty miles away from Zhongmu County, Gao Yigong is not Li Zicheng, and the soldiers under his command are naturally not as well equipped as Li Zicheng's soldiers, most of Gao Yigong's soldiers are cloth, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, including sickles, fences, hoes, and even people holding kitchen knives and wooden sticks. Typically a rabble.
Although it was the weather in early October, Li Long was sweating profusely, simply bare-chested, holding a saw in one hand and holding wood in the other...... There were also thirty or forty carpenters on the side, who were also working intensely.
After loading the bodies of the four thousand soldiers who died in battle into ox carts and transporting them back to Shandong, Yang Dali was playing in Guandu and watching Li Long boring carpentry.
Outside Guandu Town, soldiers have built a fortification with sandbags up to 1.6 meters high, surrounding the small Guandu Town, dozens of sentries are patrolling back and forth, and behind the sandbag fortifications there are musketeers and crossbowmen chatting. Obviously, he didn't take Li Zicheng in his eyes, and Li Zicheng's spies went back to tell Li Zicheng when they saw the deployment of the Ming army, Li Zaicheng was immediately furious, and he deceived people too much, so he didn't take me seriously, so he asked Li Guo to lead 20,000 troops to attack, but he was defeated and returned, and Li Long was killed.
After the war, the Ming army in the fortifications still went their own way, playing what they should play, and there was no sense of vigilance. The soldiers of the Ming army were also loosely defended......
Li Long and three or four carpenters pieced together the sawn planks piece by piece, gradually forming a large oval ball, a huge streamlined wooden ball. In the open space in the middle of the town were placed two large iron buckets, each connected by bamboo poles, and a sealed Laojun furnace was steaming under the fire.
Yang Dali and many sergeants all saw all this, but they didn't know what it was, only stupidly watched Li Long and the thirty or forty carpenters in Guandu Town working hard.
Five days later, Gao Yigong's 50,000-strong army had already entered the city, and at this time, Li Jiantai, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Front, also led four brigades of 100,000 troops to Guandu and Li Long. Suddenly, Guandu Town was crowded, and the small Guandu could not accommodate no less than 150,000 troops. So Li Jiantai went to set up camp five kilometers west of Guandu. Originally, Li Zicheng saw that Gao Yigong's reinforcements had arrived, and he wanted to attack the Ming army, but he found out that the Ming army suddenly increased by 100,000 troops. Now it's okay, Li Zicheng became a shrinking turtle again, and refused to come out.
The airship, what Li Long is building is what he suddenly came up with, originally he was trying to figure out how to still leaflet in Zhongmu County, but now he thinks about it, if he builds an airship, he can't place bombs, so that there will be an air force. It is possible to inflict endless air strikes on the enemy.
The basic frame has been built, and the most important feature is a rigid skeleton, which is composed of a longitudinal girder with 24 long pestles and 16 frames, and uses a large number of longitudinal and transverse cables to enhance the structural strength. The outside of the hull frame is covered with a skin made of tarpaulin, and there are 17 airbags inside the hull. And the cauldron in the center of Guandu Town is used to refine hydrogen. The large iron drum is the storage space for hydrogen.
Li Long asked the carpenters to build a huge propeller, and used the principles of mechanics, levers, and gears to make a propeller that was run by manpower. One only needs to pedal in the house of an airship like a bicycle to generate power for the propeller to move forward. The diameter of the propeller is 9 meters, and several people take turns to rotate the propeller to make it pull and pull the airship forward.
At the top of the airship, a small opening is also opened, and a lid can be opened movably to release a part of the hydrogen in the case of too much hydrogen. Prevent the airship from exploding. Four feet are installed on the huge surface of the airship, which can be used to land safely.
It has been ten days since the siege of Zhongmu Xiang, and Li Zicheng saw that Li Long still did not leave, and he did not dare to go out of the city, and time was still consumed like this. And Pegasus reported that Zhang Cheng's waterway army had arrived at Lujiang and could attack Wuchang within three to five days. And Liu Shupei's army on the West Road is gradually approaching Nanyang. The Great War is about to begin
On the eleventh day of the siege, in the morning, there were no clouds and no wind. Li Long selected a ** hardcover young man to come to the airship here, and carefully explained to them how the airship operated, and he was going to conduct a test flight today.
On the same day, Li Long, Yang Dali, and many brigade-level and regimental-level officers were present to watch, and Li Long personally drove the airship into the air. Everything went smoothly at first, but after a few hours, the human propeller went wrong, and the airship had to make a forced landing on the ground, make repairs, and prepare to take off again. Who knew that the disaster was not a one-way street, but at this time, another gust of wind blew off the anchor rope of the airship. The airship slammed into a bush and was destroyed on the spot.
Since the first airship was made by Li Long himself, and the thirty or forty carpenters involved in it slowly learned how to make airships, Li Long did not participate in the rebuilding of an airship. Instead, he gave 10,000 taels of silver from the military expenses to the carpenters, so that they could go and buy wood and leather cloth. Aim to build an airship in ten days.
Ten days later, the participating carpenters summed up the experience of the last failure and rebuilt an airship. The test flights were successful, and the time spent in the air was more than 24 hours. Later, these carpenters built thirty more airships at Li Long's expense, all of which were in good performance and could be transported. So Li Long decided to set up an air force. The world's first air force was formed...... That's all for later. Let's talk about this Guandu Town first, after the test flight of the first airship failed, Li Long handed over the task to the carpenter. And I went to tinker with new things......
Regarding the battle against Li Zicheng, Li Long did not participate, because Liu Shupei on the western front had already conquered Nanyang, Zhang Cheng on the southern front surrounded Wuchang, and Li Jiantai and Li Long on the northern front surrounded Zhongmu County like an iron bucket. Li Long handed over the military command to Yang Dali, and went to fiddle with his new weapons.
"The tank was invented in Britain during the First World War, when the tank was converted from a tractor and installed with one 7.7 mm "Maxim" machine gun and several 7.7 mm "Lewis" machine guns. But now it's a little harder to make a tank. Not to mention that there is no engine, not even a machine gun. Hey, it's better to make an armored fighting vehicle. You can use the old steam engine as a power:"
The world's first steam engine was invented by the Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria in the 1st century, but it was nothing more than a toy. Li Long knew this, and he had seen this kind of air spinning ball on the Internet.
A real steam engine requires a sealed boiler, an air intake pipe, a speed regulating mechanism, a raft valve, a cylinder, a piston, a connecting rod, a crankshaft, and a flywheel.
But to make a steam engine, it is necessary to have industry as a support, and the current Guandu Town has nothing, and it cannot be designed at all, so this calculation can only be stranded. After returning to Shandong, with the support of this powerful industry and manpower, I believe that it will not be a problem to manufacture a steam engine.
On the twenty-fifth day of the siege, the world's first airship was successfully produced, and after the test flight, the effect was very good. Li Long decided to personally fly the airship to Zhongmu County and drop anti-leaflets. At the third watch of the same night, Li Long took twenty people to load five thousand leaflets, and after filling the airship with hydrogen, the huge airship slowly rose to thirty meters in the air, and then ten of them stared hard at the pedals, and the large propeller began to run, Li Long stood on the top of the airship and grasped the steering wheel, and the airship flew towards Zhongmu City.
The newly designed airship is fast in the strength of ten people. It took less than twenty minutes to reach the sky over Zhongmu County. The following is Li Zicheng's military camp and Gao Yi's military camp, and there is a residential area nearby, and the residential area has turned off the lights and rested, but Li Zicheng's military camp is still bright. Countless pieces of paper flew into the streets and alleys of Zhongmu County in this quiet night. The airship then left silently.
The twenty-sixth day of the siege. As soon as the morning dawned, countless people, soldiers, officials, Li Zicheng's generals, and local squires walked out of their homes one after another. Picking up the printed paper without numbers, the literate Xiucai read: "The thief Li Zicheng is guilty, first, Li Zicheng is a peasant without foresight, he insulted Emperor Chongzhen who hanged himself, and chilled the hearts of the people of the world. First of all, burn the Taimiao of the Ming Dynasty and call all the ancestors and ancestors of Zhu Ming to get out! To put it nicely, to hold a "funeral" for Emperor Chongzhen, in fact, the "courtesy" he gave was not enough to disgust people. "It was lifted with a door panel and packed in a willow coffin, and as soon as it stopped outside the Donghua Gate, it stinked in three days. Where is this funeral? It's like sending Hanako, which is similar to "throwing corpses".
This is fatherless and motherless, and the six relatives do not recognize it.
Second, torture and plunder the former ministers of the former dynasty, slaughter and torture innocents. In fact, there were also high-ranking people in the peasant regime, but the supreme leader could not be stopped from having a clear mind. For example, Li Yan, a famous general under Li Zicheng, he has long been frank and advised: "Win people's hearts without killing"; Li Zicheng didn't take it to heart. Under his instruction, the rebels, the peasant army began to arrest people, raid homes, extort, and loot on a large scale, and the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty became "Tang monk meat". In a word, take the money! This is called "subsidy", and the price is clearly marked: "100,000 in the middle hall, 70,000 or 530,000 in the Jingtang brocade of the ministry, 530,000 in the Taoist department, 321,000 in the Hanlin, and thousands of subordinates and subordinates." "When he couldn't get out so much money, he was tortured to death. Liu Zongmin rushed to make 5,000 sets of clamping sticks, which are known as the "ancestors of torture instruments", this thing makes people tremble at a glance, let alone be tortured? "Whoever tortures a hundred officials...... Clamping and branding, extremely vicious, never dead. This is disloyalty and unfilial piety.
Third, if it is excusable to vent personal anger on corrupt Ming officials, then attacking innocent people has completely exposed the "banditry" of the peasant army. They did begin to take advantage of the fire to loot, the so-called "murder is not in vain, and most of the soldiers plunder the people's property". Looting is not counted, and a new policy is stipulated: "Let five families raise one thief, indulge in prostitution and plunder, and the people will be overwhelmed with poison and hanged to death." ”
Fourth, Li Zicheng is an upstart, absurd and corrupt, worse than the Zhu Ming court. Including Li Zicheng, the first to pull the woman. Despite the fact that there is a Yuan and Mrs. Gao, Li Zicheng still hopes to take a concubine, and as soon as he settles in the Forbidden City, he will arrange this matter. , his general Liu Zongmin is even more absurd. Unpopular. Li Zicheng released water to flood Kaifeng. Millions of soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng Mansion were buried in the flood, and millions of people were slaughtered, because Li Zicheng had no way
Fifth, I can't get the city, and I won't let others get it -- this is a typical peasant mentality. The people living under his rule did not have a good life, and even a precarious day. Are you willing to be Li Zicheng's obedient people?
The general army that came to be ordered to conquer Li Zicheng was Li Long, the governor of Shandong. This person is benevolent and loves the people, is an honest official, and is the governor of Shandong personally appointed by Emperor Chongzhen, and a thief general. On the first day that Governor Li sent troops to Henan, he defeated Li Zicheng's army of 70,000 and killed Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu. Hit Li Guo hard. Li Zicheng led the remnants of more than 1,000 people to flee back to Zhongmu County. Niu Jinxing, the rebel thief, not only lowered the city gate and let the Li thief enter the city, but also implemented the policy of white terror, and 80,000 reinforcements from Ruyang rushed to Zhongmu County overnight to fight to the death with Governor Li. At present, outside Zhongmu County, Governor Li's troops are 110,000, Li Jiantai's troops are 150,000, and Wuchang in the south has been conquered by Zhang Cheng, the general of Li Long, the governor of Shandong, Zhang Cheng led an army of 200,000 to the north to kill, and Li Long's army Liu Shupei fell to conquer Nanyang with 200,000 troops. The army is coming towards Zhongmu County.
The reason why the governor Li Long besieged and did not attack was because he thought of the safety of the lives and property of the people in the city, did you want a wreck of rogues to occupy your city, to occupy your wives and children, and to usurp your property? After three days, if there is no change, the army will storm the county seat of Zhongmu"
"God, there are as many as 660,000 imperial court troops, how can Li Zicheng be an opponent if he attacks him." Someone calculated an account for Li Zicheng.
"The accusations of Li Zicheng that the governor of Shandong said are indeed true, and I have heard people say,,,,,,,," Some people began to discuss
"Wang Wu, what do you say our uprising is for? Is it just for the glory and wealth of Li Zicheng alone, now that the governor of Shandong has come, he has certified that he loves the people, and it is better for us to ......" There are many soldiers in the army whose hearts have floated.
"Be quiet, don't let Mr. Qian hear it, we'll be killed," the little officer began to come over to stop him.
"Why whisper, if his Li Zicheng's army is really good to the soldiers, we won't make a small mistake last time, and we will be punished for three days and not allowed to eat."
"Indeed, what can we do?"
"It's better for us to turn against him Li Zicheng and go to the officers and soldiers."
"It's easy to say, this Li Zicheng has hundreds of personal soldiers, how can you and I rebel?"
"No,,, two brothers, I have heard what you have to say, and we have decided to do it tonight," replied a soldier from another battalion
"How?"
"So, so ,,,,,," The seeds of rebellion began to sprout......
In the county seat of Zhongmu County, Li Zicheng was reading a book, and Li Dingguo hurriedly came, holding the anti-policy book in his hand, and put the anti-policy book on Li Zicheng's case after the ceremony. After Li Zicheng saw it, he suddenly suffered a wound attack and vomited a mouthful of blood. swallowed and said: "Dingguo, you go and see, what is the situation of the military in the barracks, if anyone dares to rebel, there will be no forgiveness for killing"
Li Dingguo thought as he walked: "It's all your Li Chuangwang's killing, killing ,,, led to the death of hundreds of people, so there is today's crime and rebellion book, even if I obey the order to kill those who have the heart of rebellion, what can I do, the heart of rebellion begins to sprout, and it will only become more and more chaotic......"
Li Dingguo did not go to the barracks, but went directly back to his camp, he only hoped that the soldiers of his battalion were not rebelled. is saying that he, Li Dingguo, is also very good to the soldiers, unlike Li Zicheng's
"On the contrary, we are no longer serving as soldiers for Li Thief, we are all going to Shandong Li Long, where there are Tian Zhong and food, and they can be paid as soldiers and soldiers, who wants to suffer the crime of birds here" The matter was finally recognized by the thousand presidents. Four or five officers of Li Zicheng's battalion of the thousand general rank were looking for the thousand general officers of the Niu Jinxing battalion and Ruyang. Immediately fifteen or sixteen thousand officers gathered.
"Okay, Brother Liu, I'll go back and organize the people, let's gather at the north gate of the city, kill together, and defect to the officers and soldiers."
"Without further ado, I'll go"
More than a dozen thousand general officers returned to their thousand general barracks one after another to organize the army, and the soldiers also saw Li Zicheng's crimes and the benefits of the Ming army written in the rebellion book, and they all thought about what to do? At this time, some officers came to take the lead, and one by one, like dragons going out to sea, joined the ranks of resistance.
"What,,, soldiers mutinied," Li Zicheng slapped the table and said angrily after spitting out a mouthful of blood
"King Chuang, now I can only break through from the south gate and rush out, the green mountains are here, I am not afraid of no firewood" Niu Jinxing came in from outside the door with a bloody face to want Li Zicheng to report the news, and then persuaded Li Zicheng to retreat.
"No, there must be a way. It can't be withdrawn," Li Zicheng insisted
Suddenly, there was a sound of weapons fighting outside the door, coupled with incessant screams. Then I saw a team of Li Zicheng's personal soldiers retreating while fighting, and they had already retreated to the gate. Niu Jinxing once again gave up his hand to persuade: "King Chuang, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave."
Li Zicheng only came back to his senses at this time, and only then did he know that it was completely over, there were soldiers mutinied inside, and there were 600,000 troops outside. It's hard to fly. But everyone has a chance to survive, and Li Zicheng is no exception.
Under the protection of dozens of highly skilled guards, he left the county government and went all the way to the south gate of the city.
In the Li Long camp in Guandu Town, after the scouts detected the news that there was already a great chaos in Zhongmu City, Li Long began to deploy personnel to arrest Li Zicheng.
"Hutong, you take 200 special forces soldiers and 3,000 soldiers to the east gate of Zhongmu County quickly, Hu Yi, you take 200 special forces and 3,000 soldiers to quickly rush to the west gate of Zhongmu County. Yang Dali, you took 200 special forces and 3,000 soldiers to the south gate of Zhongmu County, and I personally led the army to the north gate. Division Commander Li Jiantai, you take the troops and horses of your headquarters to Wuchang Mansion in Huguang, and join Zhang Cheng in Wuchang, everyone will carry out their own orders" Li Long ordered the deployment
At this time, Yang Dali was guarding the south gate of Zhongmu County with 200 special forces and 3,000 soldiers (500 smoothbore guns, 500 crossbowmen, and 2,000 sword and shield soldiers). Suddenly, the gates opened, and a group of men and horses were killed from inside. At the head of the list was Li Zicheng, followed by more than a thousand soldiers in black armor. Behind the black-armored soldiers were countless peasants and rebels, armed with sickles, hoes, shovels and other weapons, chasing and killing a thousand black-armored soldiers. The black-armored soldiers fought and retreated, even though the combat effectiveness of the black-armored soldiers was amazing, but more than 100 million elephants were killed, and although the combat effectiveness of the peasants and the rebel army was not strong, it was better than the number of people. The black-armored soldiers were still retreating.
Yang Dali knew Li Zicheng, and in the first battle of Kaifeng, Yang Dali led the special forces to chase and kill Li Zicheng, but unfortunately let Li Zicheng escape. Now it's time for enemies to meet, which is really a narrow road to meet, and the brave wins.
Li Zicheng rushed out of it with a thousand black armor, and Yang Dali at the door had been waiting for a long time, and five hundred crossbowmen and five hundred smoothbore guns fired a salvo, and Hula shot a large area. Li Zicheng was also hit by an arrow in the arm, and he was injured and fell off his horse. Immediately, black-armored soldiers came up to protect Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng's black-armored warriors are all the elite of the elite, each with strong martial arts and a big height. After Yang fired a volley, the black-armored warriors immediately began to counterattack, not giving the crossbowmen and smoothbore guns time to shoot here. Because Yang Dali blocked the gate, the soldiers were relatively close to the city gate. As soon as the black-armored warriors rushed like this, the crossbowmen and smoothbore guns immediately had no time to shoot and retreated.
Yang Dali shouted, "Crossbowman, smoothbore guns retreat." Sword and shield soldiers go forward! ”
As the crossbowmen and muskets retreated, the swordmen and shieldmen held their shields with one hand to form a wall of shields and pushed them flat. Immediately, he collided with Li Zicheng's black-armored warrior. There was a loud bang, and the shield hit the shield. The shields of the Black Armor killed in battle were all hardwood shields wrapped in iron sheets. And Yang Dali's ordinary sword and shield hand is just an ordinary wooden shield. Immediately, the shield in the hands of the soldiers in the first row was shattered by the shield of the black-armored warrior. Then the black-armored warriors slashed, and the knife players fell in rows.
Yang Dali saw that these black-armored warriors were unusual, they were well-equipped and their martial arts were strong. It's not at all that ordinary knife players can withstand, if you still insist on using knives in your hands, which can only be a one-sided trend, and you can't catch Li Zicheng,
Yang Dali asked the scouts to ride back to Guandu to rescue Li Long, and at the same time put the special forces on top. He also held the long sword and killed it first. With the reinforcement of special forces, the situation on the battlefield began to improve. 200 special forces. 200 shields wrapped in steel, 200 swords. Immediately, the black-armored warriors retreated. Yang Dali waved the long sword in his hand and opened the bow left and right, even if the shield of the black-armored warrior was strong, it could not block the blow of the special forces old A like Yang Dali, the shield was split by the long sword, and the momentum of the long sword did not decrease, directly making the black-armored warrior split in half. Brains, intestines flow all over the ground.
Suddenly, a general was killed from Li Zicheng's black army, wearing a black robe and a golden helmet. It turned out that this person was Niu Venus. He held a spear in his hand and stabbed Yang vigorously with a fierce shot. Yang Dali felt the wind in his ears, knew that there was danger coming, dodged sideways, turned around and slashed horizontally. It's going to the head of the bull Venus. Niu Jinxing is also a battle-hardened veteran, and as soon as he lowered his head to dodge, he avoided the long sword that Yang Dali slashed over. The two fought to a draw in the first round. Yang Dali rode his horse back to his military formation, and Niu Jinxing also returned to the back of the black-armored warrior.
But behind the black-armored warrior there was also a military general covered in brass armor, and Yang Dali didn't know him. This person is Li Dingguo. Li Zicheng is a famous general in the army. 、
The battle lasted for an hour, and the black-armored warriors were unable to advance a single step despite being attacked on their backs. Among the corpses on the ground, except for Yang Dali's sword player, Yang Dali's knife player, there were almost no corpses of a few black-armored warriors. After glancing at the battlefield, Yang Dali felt that he could reassess the strength of Li Zicheng's black-armored soldiers. The combat power is really terrifying.
At this time, the voice of the army was suddenly heard from the north, and the deafening footsteps were getting closer and closer. Yang Dali sent someone to see who it was. When the scout returned, he said, "Yes,,, yes, the feudal knight on foot is here." 、……、”
Oh my God, Yang Dali was surprised. Li Long was really righteous enough, and in order to deal with the black-armored warriors, he actually sent the most powerful walking feudal knights. After the Bufeng soldiers arrived, Yang Dali knew that there were not many Bufeng soldiers who came. That is, more than two people. But Yang vigorously believed in the strength of the Bufeng warriors. These two are enough to kill all the black armor without losing a single person.
The foot feudal knights were not very high in battle in history, and the equipment was not as good as Li Long's training, and the infantry warriors in history were only heavy soldiers wearing plate armor and long swords, and did not undergo brutal training. Because the steps of Europe are all from aristocratic backgrounds. Training that was too brutal would cause the nobility to resent it. However, Li Long's Bufeng was wearing a stronger plate armor, and he was invulnerable at all. And the physical strength is amazingly good.
When Yang Dali saw that Bufeng was coming to join the battle, he ordered the sword player who was being killed by the black armor to retreat, and the crossbowman began to shoot parabola. Just shoot, you can't hurt your own people. ,
The power of the crossbow is beyond the armor of the black-armored warriors. After a wave of shots, a large number of people fell down, many people were shot in the eye and shot in the neck. Even if it hit the chest, the armor on the chest could not block the power of the crossbow, and it still shot through the armor, and the crossbow arrows with power buzzed into the armor of the black-armored soldiers.
At this time, the Bufeng soldiers rushed up, and with the addition of the Bufeng soldiers, the special forces seemed a lot easier. The battle began to reverse, and there were more than 400 infantry fighters and special forces. On average, dozens of people die by the sword every minute. The battle began to heat up. Not to be outdone, the black-armored warrior brandished his sword and slashed at Bu Feng's body, and the hard steel armor suddenly made the black-armored attack ineffective, and the ensuing long sword pierced the chest of the black-armored warrior with a single sword. The black-armored warrior died with a suspicious gaze. I can't believe that there are more powerful samurai than our black armor. The team of 400 men rushed straight towards the roller. Plus the help of the crossbow. The number of black-armored warriors is getting smaller and smaller. 、
Li Zicheng had been shot unconscious and could not command, at this time Li Dingguo behind him had the right to command, seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, it was impossible to rush out of this city gate, and shouted: "Retreat, withdraw to the city!" ”
The remaining black-armored warriors retreated while fighting, protecting Li Zicheng, Li Dingguo, and Niu Jinxing to retreat into the city. Although the black-armored warriors are not the opponents of the Bufeng warriors and the special forces, they still have great strength to deal with the peasants and rebels behind them. Dozens of people, like dozens of lions, fought a bloody way back into the city.
Li Dingguo yelled: "Close the city gate, quickly"
Five or six black-armored warriors shouted and tried to close the city gate, but the step seal outside the gate rushed towards the city gate with their invincible defense. The crowds were at the gates of the city. Li Dingguo will definitely not be able to close the door when he sees it like this. Commanding a few black-armored soldiers, he said, "You guys, go and push the knife cart over."
The knife cart is the weapon used to defend the city, and once the gate is knocked open, it is the gate of activity. You can also throw things out of a small window. The knife cart can also be used to plug the gate, and is used to block the city when the gate is attacked. There are 24 steel knives on the front knife wall, and when used, the cart can be pushed to the gap in the city gate, which can not only kill and injure the enemy, but also block the enemy's arrows and stones. In this way, it is difficult for the other party to climb and form a barrier to activity. The knife cart is an extremely sturdy two-wheeled vehicle, the body of which is almost the same width as the city gate, and is usually between three or four zhang; There are three or four layers of wooden frame in front of the car, and each layer is fixed with a number of sharp knives, and the car body has a long wheel; The enemy broke through the city gates, and dozens of hundreds of soldiers pushed knife carts to block the city gates
The number of black-armored warriors is getting smaller and smaller, and it is impossible to make dozens of people push the knife cart. The fighting outside the door continued, and Bu Feng kept squeezing inside, and the black armor was filled with people. One by one, the black-armored warriors were killed.
At this time, one or two knife carts loaded with 24 steel knives suddenly rushed over from the black-armored warriors, trying to use inertia to pierce the defensive armor of Bufeng. Yang Dali had already seen the knife cart that Li Dingguo had asked someone to launch, and hurriedly commanded: "Bufeng soldiers, retreat quickly, don't take a step forward"
The order and prohibition is the military regulation of the Shandong army, even if the Bufeng soldiers are very happy to kill now, but they do not dare to disobey the orders of the commander. The hula ran away as soon as it was gone. The knife cart was also blocked at the gate of the city in an instant.
