Chapter 100 appears

"Whoosh", a heavy arrow flashed across the bridge deck, knocking down a rebel who appeared at the head of the bridge

Geng Zhongming, who was a hundred steps away from the south bridge, scolded, Li Jiucheng's face was ruthless, and the family members he sent went for half an hour, only recruiting three hundred soldiers, these people were bulging in their arms, their faces were full of reluctance, and in less than a moment they dispersed dozens of them, and he had to send more than ten family members to guard the surrounding intersections, forcing these people to prepare for a second attack.

Li Jiucheng already knew that the situation on the other side was not right, and his initial intention of sending people to break through the pass was to force Wang Bingzhong to show up, but the opposite side stopped him and did not let him go, and the front team was killed by seven or eight arrows on the bridge, and the rest of the people retreated in chaos. Geng Zhongming then sent someone to negotiate, and a man who claimed to be Wang Bingzhong's family member came from the bridge, and agreed to go to Wang Bingzhong immediately, but never allowed other troops to go to Beicheng. Li Jiucheng was angry and sent his family to rush hard, but the opposite side fired the cannon directly, although there were only the second general and the Franco, but the bridge was narrow and there was nowhere to avoid, and it was immediately beaten back, and from this time on, as long as the opposite side saw a figure, he would release arrows.

However, this time it was found that the troops on the opposite side were only a few dozen, and Li Jiucheng sent people to continue to gather men and horses, while letting the more than 100 people behind him prepare to attack again.

Under the persecution of the family with knives and guns, more than 100 rebels came to the street in a hurry, Geng Zhongming stood on the side of the street and said loudly: "Knock down the bridge for Lao Tzu, walk on the ice and go over, as long as you rush over, the north side will let you rob, each person will share a big house, and the women are all yours." ”

The rebels immediately became agitated, they were all bitter haha, they had always envied those rich families who lived in deep mansions, and after the chaos, they were just bent on grabbing silver, and when they heard the officials say that they could divide the mansion and women, their morale immediately rose.

Geng Zhongming continued: "If you want silver and women, you have to work hard, whoever just retreats to the south, they will all be killed, you only have to go forward, there are only dozens of people over there, and the left and right are dead, desperately there is a rich and noble, all for Lao Tzu to kill." ”

Li Jiucheng and Geng Zhongming's family members flashed out of the street corner and shot arrows at the grass bridge, and at the same time on the bridge shè heavy arrows, a group of rebels rushed to the bridge under the stimulation of the treasure woman, hissing and shouting and rushing towards the bridge, and some of the clever ones bypassed the alley, jumped from the river into the frozen river, and rushed to the opposite bank.

The rebels quickly rushed to the bridge, the barricades on the bridge were thirty steps away from the bridgehead, the people on the bridge kept hitting the dense crowd with heavy arrows, and some people kept rolling and falling to the ground, and the excited crowd stepped on the comrades on the ground without stopping, approaching a distance of about twenty paces, as long as they entered the close combat, the family behind them would be thrown into battle.

Geng Zhongming waved his hand to summon Ding to attack on both sides of the bridge, there was a violent explosion on the bridge, puffs of white smoke rose in front of the rebels, and the iron bullet of the second general broke the first rebel soldier into pieces, and the almost face-to-face artillery hit made the rebels have a feeling of shaking the mountains, and the two big furlong machines shot a pound of iron at a rate of five rounds per minute, and the iron bullet easily tore all the human bodies that were touched at close range, and the stump and flesh at the head of the bridge flew, and the front row of the rebels seemed to be swept by the meat grinder, and the split human body fell all over the ground. The hellish sight shattered the rebellious rebel offensive, and the rebel soldiers retreated in horror, and the rear of the Jiading Governor slew the first soldiers to retreat with broadswords and maces.

Geng Zhongming's face was covered with blood, and the surging rebels in front of him were blocked by the corpses on the ground, and the family next to him stabbed the fallen people on the ground with a long spear.

"Those who retreat die, and if you can't get off the bridge, you have only one way to die." Geng Zhongming shouted loudly, and the family members formed a two-story human wall, using large swords and spears to drive away the rebels.

The rebels on the verge of life and death howled with exhaustion, huddled together in the middle, and a small number of jīng gods broke down and slashed through the crowd, trying to find a way out.

The rebels on the bridge attracted firepower, and the people who went down from the river banks on both sides began to step on the ice and run to the opposite bank, archers appeared on the railing of the grass bridge, and used heavy arrows to hit the rebels who were cautious on the ice, and the screams in the river were endless, and the rebel soldiers could not run fast on the ice, and the others panicked after being hit by the shè around them, and some people kept falling on the ice.

The rebels on the bridge finally rushed to the barricade again with the help of the family, and the defenders of the bush were weakened by fire, and they again rushed twenty paces.

Li Jiucheng, who was supervising the battle behind, thought that he would definitely rush to the other party this time, but there was a sudden crisp sound of fire crackling on the bridge, Li Jiucheng clearly saw that the heads in the front row were rapidly reduced, followed by a shè strike, and the sound of musket shè on both sides of the bridge also sounded, and many rebels fell on the ice.

Li Jiucheng listened to the sound and asked Chen Guangfu beside him with a little doubt, "What kind of fire gun is this?" Why hasn't Lao Tzu heard that there is such a firearm in Dengzhou Town? ”

Chen Guangfu also showed a dazed expression, but a family member next to him trembled and said: "Little, the villain has heard it, it seems that the self-generated firebird gun used in the Wenden camp on Shenmi Island is this sound." ”

"Camp Wenden?!" Li Jiucheng and Chen Guangfu showed surprise at the same time, and Li Jiucheng grabbed the collar of the house suddenly, "What you said is true?" Have you ever been to Mijima? ”

The family was startled, and hurriedly replied: "The villain was originally from Phi Dao, my younger brother was in the camp of Chen Dusi, and he followed Zhang Tao to the island when he was on Mi Island, and the guns used by the soldiers of the Wendeng battalion were like this. ”

Li Jiucheng turned his head to look at Chen Guangfu, and Chen Guangfu confirmed: "He is indeed from Phi Dao, and he came to be my family after being on Mi Island." ”

The muscles on Li Jiucheng's face trembled, the three words of Wendeng Camp seemed to stab him in the sore spot, and the words that Sun Yuanhua said appeared in his ears again, he looked at the chaotic soldiers on the bridge who turned on their backs, and said: "That is to say, the people on the bridge are from Wendeng Camp." ”

Chen Guangfu hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Seeing that they are so calm, it is not something that ordinary people can do, I'm afraid...... It's really Navenden Camp, this, how is it good? ”

At this time, the rebels at the bridgehead finally collapsed completely, Geng Zhongming was swept back by the rout, he came to Li Jiucheng's side out of breath, Li Jiucheng fiercely squeezed out words from his mouth to Geng Zhongming and Chen Guangfu who had just retreated, "Chen Guangfu arranged for your subordinates to guard the Ying'en Gate, and notified Prince Li Yingyuan to come here, let Kong Youde guard the south gate and send reinforcements, Geng Zhongming, you arrange for your subordinates to guard the chūn Shengmen, whoever loses the city gate Lao Tzu will cut off anyone's head, and you yourself will immediately take your family to collect the people of the department, Geng Zhongming, you attack the north gate from Dengzhou Bridge, Wang Zideng and Chen Guangfu both bring troops here, the number cannot be less than five hundred, and bring some general artillery and Furlong machines. ”

Geng Zhongming looked at the sky and said: "Master Li, the sky is almost dark, the black light is blind and I am afraid that I will hurt my own people, the Wendeng camp is far away in Ninghai Prefecture, more than two hundred miles, and we can't get to it without walking on the ice and snow road, so we don't have to rush for a while." ”

There was a choking sound, Li Jiucheng's sword had been put on Geng Zhongming's neck, and he scolded Geng Zhongming loudly: "Lao Tzu asked you to sentry in the three directions of the southwest and east in the morning, you *** said that the sentry horse did not come back, and now the people of the Wendeng camp intercepted me at Caoqiao, then Chen Xin must not be far from here, and most of them are going to enter the city from the north gate, you all know what Chen Xin is, he is a person who even Governor Sun dares to frame, if you don't bring foot soldiers here in half an hour, we will all die without a place to be buried, no matter whether it is dark or not, today rì will definitely lay down the Zhenhai Gate." , otherwise I don't know how to die, who would dare to continue looting and be beheaded immediately!! ”

Geng Zhongming's face turned pale with fright, and he and Chen Guangfu both ran to their mounts, jumped on their horses and hurried towards the east gate.

Li Jiucheng stared at them and disappeared at the intersection, turning his head and about to force a group of newly arrived rebels to attack from the ice, when he suddenly found that there was already thick smoke billowing on the opposite river bank, and the red sè fire was swallowing on the bank, and at the same time, a firework rose at the Zhenhai Gate, bursting out a red sè in the sky.

Li Jiucheng looked up at the fireworks, he was even more sure that Chen Xin was not far away, and some terrible thoughts gradually appeared in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Chen Xin, you are really ruthless." ”

He said to the head of the house: "Take your men to attack the bridge deck immediately." ”

"My lord, they have guns and cannons, let's rush over like this, your family will lose a lot."

"You have to go after you die, and if you can't beat Zhenhaimen today, it's not a matter of losing a lot." ……

Under the black canopy, the flames on both sides of the grass bridge were raging, Li Tao carried a wounded teammate to retreat from the grass bridge, and another special service member threw a torch on the barricade, and the barricade stained with tung oil suddenly burst into dazzling firelight, and the corpses of both sides next to the barricade were also engulfed in flames, emitting the scorching smell of the human body after burning.

A steady stream of rebels gathered from all over the city to the north of the city, the barricades of the grass bridge repelled several attacks by the opponent under the insistence of the soldiers, the three artillery pieces were hot, could not play a role, the soldiers could only use their own flintlock pistols and cold weapons to defend, after the firepower weakened, the rebels continued to attack the barricades, and the bloody hand-to-hand combat made the Wendeng battalion guarding the bridge have lost nearly half.

Several large Francos of the rebels appeared in the southern street, and at the same time a battle broke out at the Dengzhou Bridge in the east, and the rebels began to attack the north gate from the eastern city.

Li Tao decisively abandoned the grass bridge, set fire to the barricades to prevent the enemy from attacking, and they had stored a large amount of tung oil in various intelligence stations in advance, which had been splashed everywhere along the riverbank before noon, when the fire spread and even the ice in the river began to melt.

As soon as Li Tao ran off the grass bridge, rebels began to fight flames at the barricades, and some rebels stabbed the stones on the barricades with spears, preparing to open the passage. Without looking back, Li Tao carried his wounded comrades-in-arms along Zhenhaimen Avenue and fled northward, while other members of the action team lit piled firewood along the street, and the fire quickly spread to the wooden corridors along the street.

There was a loud bang on the grass bridge, and a huge flame exploded, and a thick cloud of white smoke spread out from the flames, and the rebels who were fighting on the bridge were knocked down by the flying stones, and the undead were screaming loudly on the ground, and the rebels in the distance covered their faces and slammed like headless flies.

The rebels who led the troops staggered off the bridge, stood in front of Li Jiucheng, shook his body a few times, and said: "My lord, a cloud of lime has burst out over there, and the brothers are blinded." He threw himself to the ground with a thud.

"Chen Guangfu, your people will follow." Li Jiucheng went to look at the general on the ground, but just gave Chen Guangfu a faint order, Chen Guangfu was shocked by the tragic scene on the grass bridge, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "The lime smoke has not dispersed, this ......"

"As soon as the person rushes, they disperse, and they will immediately rush to Lao Tzu."

Under Li Jiucheng's fierce gaze, Chen Guangfu had no choice but to call the head of his family and let him lead the troops to continue the attack.

Chen Guangfu's family leader couldn't help but dry his throat when he looked at the blazing Zhenhaimen Street in the north, but he had no way out, Li Jiucheng had already made it very clear that retreating was death, and Li Jiucheng's own family members also took turns to fight.

"That thing in the white sè is lime, and when you get there, you rush over with your eyes closed." The leader of the house drove a group of soldiers and rebels into the street, gave them a loud command, and then rushed to the bridge with a leading shout, and when he reached a lime-filled place, he hurriedly glanced at the ground by the light of the fire, remembered the location of a few large stones, and then quickly closed his eyes and rushed over.

"Ahh

The head of the house fell to the ground with a sharp pain in his feet, clutching his feet, and the rioters and rebels rushing in behind him screamed and fell into a ball at the same time.

"It's a ghost arrow, stop, stop."

The head of the house was pressed under the two of them, and his hand had already touched something on the ground, which was a string of four-cornered thistles, but the rebels on the ground were howling loudly, and the rebels who were squinting behind could hear it, more and more people fell on him, and some of the rebels who stepped on the people on the ground stepped on the ghost arrows in front of them, and the bridge was suddenly full of people holding their feet, they all dropped their weapons and rolled up, and then more ghost arrows stabbed other parts of the body.

In a panicked scream, more than a dozen figures rushed out of the alley of Zhenhaimen Street, and they used the fire guns in their hands to send out a fierce Qi shè at the layers of people on the bridge, and blood arrows sprayed out, and the chaotic rebels immediately collapsed, howling and turning around and fleeing, those figures quickly rushed over, wielding their blades to kill the wounded rebels on the ground.

Li Jiucheng's face was already blue at this time, the group of people in front of him would not exceed 100 people, but their tactics were very flexible, and their cooperation was very tacit, yīn scheming and tricks were endless, anything could be used as a weapon, and the arsenic and other drugs in the pharmacy were also thrown by them in the fires on both sides of the river to create poisonous smoke, and he could only fill it with human lives, and now it was completely dark and had just laid the grass bridge.

"Wang Ziden, your people."

The prince was quite fierce, he had already seen the fire, pulled his helmet, and rushed across the bridge with his own men and horses, Li Jiucheng saw them cross the bridge this time, and gave a sigh of relief, at this time, a red sè firework rose on the tower of Zhenhaimen City, and Li Jiucheng's eyes followed the trajectory of the firework, until it exploded into a red sè fireworks.

The muscles on Li Jiucheng's face twitched, he was still not sure where Chen Xin would appear from, but the Mishenshan camp was a key, they had been stationed there for more than ten days, the camp was strong, as long as they could stick there and echo with Dengzhou, they could add great difficulty to the Wendeng camp, but he didn't know if the reinforcements sent by Kong Youde had arrived at the camp.

At this time, the head of his family said in a panic: "My lord, there is also a fireworks in the south. ”

Li Jiucheng turned his head suddenly, and a red sè fireworks really broke out on the southern sky, and it was in the direction of Mishen Mountain, he didn't have time to talk to Chen Guangfu and other generals, and rushed to the bell tower with a horse's belly, he galloped to the bottom of the bell tower, jumped off the horse without waiting for the horse to stop, and climbed up the top floor of the bell tower along the stairs all the time.

Li Jiucheng, who stopped at the top of the platform wall, couldn't wait to look to the south, and suddenly his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, the fire on Mishen Mountain was dotted, the lit tent was on fire, the light point of the fire shè kept shining, and on the flat ground between Mishen Mountain and Kui Mountain, a fire dragon was winding towards the east city wall.
