When Li Chengdong encountered the first attack, he was indeed a little unexpected, and he fought with the Qing army at the gap for a quarter of an hour before the Qing army was repulsed.

For this, Li Chengdong lost more than 1,000 people.

He couldn't help but gasp, the Tartars were really ruthless in fighting, and they dared to fill people up like this, and he was reluctant to replace them, if he was there, he would probably give up.

"My lord, the Tartars are coming up again!"

One of Li Chengdong's subordinates shouted.

Li Chengdong scolded: "Rush up!" ”

After saying that, he rushed forward with his troops again.

A series of screams sounded, and the soldiers who rushed up with Li Chengdong suddenly fell a large piece, and Li Chengdong himself also had several arrow feathers inserted in his body, he couldn't help but feel a little undead, hiding behind a stone brick end wall and observing it carefully, only to see that under the reflection of the torches at the head of the city, there were many Tartars hidden, constantly shooting arrows at the gap.

The Tartar's arrows were so fierce and accurate that it was difficult for Li Chengdong to raise his head for a while.

The captives took the opportunity to touch it, and one by one the soldiers holding swords and shields rushed into the gap with skillful movements and agility.

"Kill!"

Li Chengdong shouted, and hundreds of soldiers under him were killed, but after a few rounds, they were all killed.

This made Li Chengdong swallow a mouthful of saliva, the Tartar knife was skillful, and the cooperation was very tacit, and he was killed in the blink of an eye with more than a hundred soldiers.

Gritting his teeth, he let the next group of soldiers rush forward, and most of the soldiers were killed in a few blows, and the rest retreated into the city, while the captives had already occupied most of the gap, and were calling for follow-up troops to come back.

Li Chengdong waved his hand again.

One of his cronies immediately persuaded bitterly: "Your Excellency can't rush anymore, if you continue to rush, our old brother will die." ”

Li Chengdong scolded him: "Ma, I said that there is a ball!" It's all with Lao Tzu. ”

After saying that, he drew his sword and rushed forward, this time simply dispatching his most elite personal troops.

The soldiers were indeed a little stronger than ordinary men, and they actually knocked the Tartars back a few steps, almost driving them out of the gap.

But at this time, the Tartars suddenly rushed up with reinforcements. Li Chengdong's personal soldiers suffered heavy losses and retreated one after another.

Li Chengdong saw that the left and right were retreating, and he couldn't help himself, and he fought and retreated under the protection of several personal soldiers. Finally fled into the city.

The Tartars finally made their way to the inside of the wall, but in front of them were a pile of obstacles, rafters, carriages, and even tables, chairs, and benches, almost anything they could find nearby. All of them are clogged up here, clinging to the gap to form a semi-circular defensive circle.

After Li Chengdong retreated to the defensive circle, he found that his soldiers had fled by several thousand, and there were less than 2,000 people left behind.

"My lord, I'm afraid this city can't be defended, and the Tartars must have dispatched elite soldiers!"

The cronies said to Li Chengdong.

Li Chengdong couldn't help but nodded.

"Otherwise, let's withdraw, my lord, everyone has run out, and it's not a way to fight like this. It's better to go back and clean up and take back all the soldiers! ”

Li Chengdong nodded again, already a little shaken.

A handsome offspring. Wearing iron armor and carrying a steel knife in his hand, the young general who rushed to kill Li Chengdong just now frowned.

"Dad, you can't give up halfway. We all fought off the Tartars once, and this time the Tartars are afraid that they will come to an end, and they haven't been beaten for half a day. is holding it up, it's time for Li Benshen to change us. ”

The cronies shouted: "Hmph, it's light, wait for Li Benshen to change." Our brothers are all dead. ”

Li Benshen made up his mind at this time: "Then withdraw." It's not that I don't want to play, everyone is out of the ball, I have to go back and straighten out the troops. ”

The young general hurriedly said: "Dad, don't forget Uncle Yang's military law!" ”

The cronies snorted: "Uncle Yang." Uncle Yang counts as a ball. When our brothers were killing, he was still wearing open crotch pants. It's not that you took shit luck and brought the prince back from Beijing, he's a hammer now! Others are afraid of him, but we can still be afraid of him. Can he still dare to kill us? ”

At this time, the Tartars seemed to be attacking again, and a dense rain of arrows came over. The soldiers hiding behind the defensive circle were caught off guard and were shot one after another.

Li Chengdong finally relented: "Hmph." Go, no matter what. As long as we have soldiers in our hands, even if the emperor comes, he won't dare to do anything to us. As far as he Yang Chao is concerned, that is, to scare those bear soldiers, we are not scared. ”

After saying that, he hurriedly retreated with his soldiers.

The young general stomped his foot and could only follow.

Not far behind are many male 500 elite soldiers, who are waiting for the battle, he is acting as a reserve to prevent Li Chengdong from blocking the Tartars in case he will rush up in the end.

As a result, he didn't wait for Tartar, but waited for Li Chengdong.

"Mr. Li! How dare you be frightened and flee before the battle! ”

Many men couldn't help shouting, and the soldiers under them formed a dense array, blocking Li Chengdong deadly.

Li Chengdong snorted coldly: "Hmph, you know a ball, the hair hasn't grown, and you're shouting in front of your father and me." Get out of the way! ”

Many men refused: "Lord Yang has an order." Those who escape from the battle will be killed! ”

Li Chengdong was annoyed: "Your lord still doesn't believe it." ”

As he spoke, he kicked away a soldier in front of him, rushed in with the people, and immediately passed through the thin single-story wall formation of many men, and fled into the dark streets and alleys.

Many men frowned, but he never dared to make a move.

"Go and tell the adults that Li Chengdong is escaping, please show the adults!"

A number of men pulled a soldier past and ordered.

Then he looked at the Tartar who was climbing over the obstacles, and with a loud shout, he led the people to rush up.

Yang Chao couldn't help frowning when he received the news of Li Chengdong's escape.

"Zhao Kang, you take two hundred people to find Li Chengdong, bring him to me, dare to resist, and kill him!"

At this time, Zhao Kang had returned to the urn city to rest, his soldiers were outside the hidden soldier cave at the root of the city wall, and Zhao Kang directly kicked the city to obey Yang Chao's orders, and after getting Yang Chao's order, he immediately went down to the city to arrest Li Chengdong.

Yang Chao was more concerned about the battle situation under the city, and at this time, the Tartars seemed to have a dead heart, that is, to rush in from which gap, and he was determined to rush into the city in one go.

But fortunately, after Li Chengdong escaped, many men made up for it in time, and a burst of rushing and killing knocked the Tartar back to the gap, and then Li Liang arrived with a batch of tiger squat cannons, and completely knocked the Tartar out.

At least we had to keep it until dawn, because there were too few soldiers in the city. If you let the Tartars go into the city to fight at night, I'm afraid there is no chance of victory.

"Order Li Benshen to continue to guard the gap and not let a Tartar enter the city!"

Yang Chao continued to order.

"What please Lao Tzu? Don't go! ”

Li Chengdong found a land temple to live in. A few soldiers found a sheep, and as soon as they were about to roast it, Yang Chao's soldiers arrived and said that he should go to see Yang Chao.

Li Chengdong knew that there would be nothing good to see Yang Chao in this matter, so he immediately refused.

Zhao Kang snorted: "General Li shouldn't make it difficult for the lower officials." ”

Li Chengdong sat on the ground with a golden knife. His face was pale, he had suffered heavy losses, although his men had already gone to look for him, but at least half of the soldiers had fled, and it was really hard to say how much he could recover.

"Don't make it difficult for Lao Tzu!"

"Then the lower official is welcome."

After Zhao Kang finished speaking, he was about to draw his sword, and the two hundred ironclad elite soldiers behind him immediately raised their spears.

At this time, the young general immediately stood up and persuaded: "Dad, why don't you go for a trip." The retreat of our army was also a last resort. Admit your mistake to Uncle Yang. To put it mildly, there is a loopback in this matter! ”

At this time, Li Chengdong had less than a thousand people in the temple, and the others were sent out to find food and people.

Nodding slightly: "Then listen to you." But even if you admit your mistakes, Lao Tzu is not wrong. ”

As he spoke, he glared at Zhao Kang and strode out of the small temple, and the others behind him wanted to follow, but the young general stopped them. went out to chase Li Chengdong alone.

Soon they went up to the city wall and saw Yang Chao.

Li Chengdong stood arrogantly in front of Yang Chao, squinting at Yang Chao, looking fearless.

"Li Chengdong! Are you guilty? ”

Yang Chao snorted coldly.

"We don't know what the sin iss."

Yang Chao said: "Escape." Is there such a thing? ”

Li Chengdong said: "We're leaving, but it's not running away, let's go back to collect the soldiers and horses, and we still have to kill back." ”

Yang Chao said in a deep voice: "Li Chengdong." Gao Jie treats you well, and now the Tartars are only in the city, and you don't want to avenge Gao Jie. actually escaped from the battle, Gao Jie's bones are not cold, you still deny it! ”

The young general walked out at this time, hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Yang Haihan, my father-in-law has no intention of escaping, but the soldiers are scattered, so he is looking for the rout soldiers first, and he is fighting to the death with the Tartars!" ”

Yang Chao didn't listen: "I have a word first, and those who escape from the battle will be killed." It's useless to say more, but the official commands the army, and only the evil remnants are not guilty! ”

After speaking, he waved his hand: "Drag Li Chengdong down and cut it!" ”

After speaking, a few personal soldiers pulled Li Chengdong and left.

Li Chengdong only found out at this time that the matter was getting bigger.

"Yang Chao, you dare to kill me! You dare to kill me! I can't spare you! ”

He had been dragged to the door while scolding.

At this time, Li Chengdong clung to the door frame of the urn city: "Uncle Yang, we were wrong, let's have a chance to atone for our sins." I'll take someone on it, and I won't run away this time. ”

Yang Chaoli ignored it, but asked the young general in front of him, "Who are you?" ”

The young general looked depressed, he didn't expect his stepfather to be really dragged down and killed, he never thought that Yang Chao would kill the general, if he knew this, he would definitely not persuade his stepfather to come.

Seeing that the young general didn't speak, Yang Chao snorted.

"What about you? Didn't hear me! ”

Zhao Kang immediately kicked the young general.

Only then did the young general react: "The villain Li Yuanyin is Li Chengdong's righteous son." ”

Yang Chao nodded: "It's okay." You go back now to collect the troops and horses of Li Chengdong's headquarters, and for the time being, you will be in charge, and continue to guard the gap, if you are on the run, don't blame the military law of this official! ”

Li Yuanyin didn't dare to object, and went away with a worried face, and Yang Chao asked Zhao Kang to lead his troops back with him.

In the gap under the city, Li Benshen and many men plus the gunners brought by Li Liang repelled the Tartars three times, and the Tartars temporarily retreated.

The fighting subsided for the time being.

At this time, Shi Kefa sent someone to deliver food.

After the battle began, Shi Kefa took Liu Zhaoji's army to kill pigs and sheep to prepare for the labor army.

Yang Chao was eating, and suddenly Gao Jie's widow, Mrs. Xing, sent someone to invite Yang Chao over.

Yang Chao did not hesitate, explained, and then led people down to the city to find Mrs. Xing.

The biggest reason why Yang Chao was able to command the rest of Gao Jie, the only army with some combat effectiveness, was that he accepted Gao Yuanjue as his righteous son, but in fact, under the banner of Mrs. Xing and Gao Yuanjue, so Mrs. Xing's face still had to be given.

As for what Mrs. Xing is looking for Yang Chao, Yang Chao guesses that it is probably related to the fact that he wants to kill Li Chengdong, Li Chengdong is a general under Gao Jie, and he is a brother who was born and died, and it is natural for Mrs. Xing to intercede for him.

But Yang Chao didn't plan to agree, so he decided to go over just to appease Mrs. Xing. (To be continued.) )
