Kong Youde sat down dejectedly, that is to say, Chen Xin did not recognize Sun Yuanhua's appeasement, and would still treat them as chaotic soldiers, and he had words in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was saying.

Chen Guangfu and Wang Zideng bit their lipes and didn't speak, Li Jiucheng glanced at them and said: "Chen Xin wants to kill them all, let's fight with him, Lao Tzu has killed countless people in his life, and this life has already been earned." ”

Geng Zhongming said in a low voice: "What we didn't say, let's follow Li Da into a thousand." He paused, "But if you can not die, it is naturally good to be immortal, there is still a way now, there is no Wendeng camp in Ximen, we can withdraw from Ximen." ”

Kong Youde raised his head, "Where did you go after leaving the West Gate?" It's not the same to die for. ”

Geng Zhongming looked at a few words, "What does Chen Xin want, it's Dengzhou, don't you really want our white spoon life, what's the benefit of him with us, we have more things to grab, and the cloth and silver that can't be brought are left everywhere, and those chaotic soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers are left in the city, he Chen Xin wants to regain the land, and it will take a few rì to sweep away those chaotic people, let's take this time to leave Dengzhou, they don't have many cavalry, Lao Tzu personally led the troops to the palace, there is a sub-camp in Shimen Mountain that can be blocked for a while, here to Huangxian is full of mountains, Lao Tzu blocked him layer by layer, As long as you break through Huang County in front, we can breathe a sigh of relief and then go to Laizhou. ”

Chen Guangfu's eyes flashed with hope, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what?" ”

Geng Zhongming yīnyīn smiled, "Let's block Chen Xin in Huang County, the former army will attack Ye County, or attack Pingdu Prefecture, and then go west out of Denglai territory, Lu Zhi has Chen Xin as a thug, he dares not to appease us, who will Yu Dacheng do?" After we hit Qingzhou Mansion, if he doesn't appease us, we will attack a few more county seats, his official position is unstable, so he has to take the road of appeasement, we go to Shandong to be a soldier, and we can stay away from the camp of Nawendeng. ”

The prince clapped his hands and laughed: "It is said that you Geng Zhongming is cunning, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, and the road to death will let you find a way to live." ”

Li Jiucheng didn't make a sound, picked up his big knife and walked out of the door, and threw back a cold sentence, "Hold on to this day first, and then talk about life." ”……

Dengzhou north of the city of the sound of killing, Wendeng camp first to the grass bridge and the east and west city wall shelling, the rebel generals had to send two additional horses, Wendeng camp after a tactical deception, began to storm the east city, once the east city urn city opened, then Zhenhai Gate, Wollongong and Mishen Mountain can be connected, the troops outside the east gate can also be freed.

The attack was based on the 2,000 headquarters as the main force, and first began to clear the northeast corner, they set off from the north of the Dengzhou Bridge, and used the suspicious soldiers to contain the Dengzhou Bridge rebels, most of them were divided into zero, and the attack was interspersed with the battle group mode of the killer and the firearms team, and the flexible and changeable advantages of the Mandarin Duck Formation were brought into play, although there were a lot of the chaotic soldiers who fought separately, but they were about to collapse at the touch of a button, and the powder magazine in the northeast corner soon returned to the Wendeng camp to master, and those rebels did not think of blowing it up.

The rebels at the east gate were originally Geng Zhongming's entry, and now they have been replaced by Li Yingyuan's department, most of them are the old brothers of Wuqiao when he raised the army, but after a series of defeats in the city, their morale is far less than when they first entered the city, and now they are fighting more because they don't want the silver to be robbed of it.

There were a total of five Hongyi cannons at the head of the city, two of which were bronze cannons, and the gunners made a gap in the female wall and continued to bombard the north wall with Hongyi cannons, two of which were always aimed at the bends of the city wall, and the narrow city wall could not be dodged, which made both sides give up breaking through the city wall.

Li Yingyuan didn't put many troops in the northeast corner, most of them were unorganized miscellaneous soldiers and rebels, they were quickly defeated or defeated by the Wendeng battalion, the Wendeng battalion did not close their retreat, all the way to the east, these chaotic soldiers fled to the east gate like water.

Li Yingyuan set up multiple barricades on the north side of the examination institute, and set up three barricades in front of and behind the streets on the east side of the examination institute, each of which had one or two general cannons or furlong machines, which he also learned from the Wendeng camp, and used this method to delay a lot of time in the Zhenhaimen combat Chinese camp. But because he had not been on the defensive for a long time, he had not had time to pile up firewood everywhere like the Wenden camp.

The attack of the Wendeng camp had begun for half an hour, and the guns and artillery on the north side of the examination institute were endless, and they were slowly approaching to the south.

After another quarter of an hour, groups of routs fled from the north, screaming in panic as they fled, and Li Yingyuan grabbed one and asked, "How far is the Wendeng camp?" ”

"No, I don't know, they have cannons, and a lot of them are killed with one shot."

Li Yingyuan threw away the entry and let the gunners of the barricade prepare to fire, some of these gunners were the original standard battalion gunners, and some were to catch the chaotic people to fill the number, because after the chaos, many gunners also went to loot, and they could not return to the original army for a while, so they could only be assigned to one old gunner per gunner, and they only knew how to fire the guns, and they were far less skilled than the Hongyi gunners who were trained by Franco.

The figure of the red sè soon appeared in the street ahead, their white spoon military uniforms and red sè were brighter than the ordinary Ming army, and the scattered soldiers found the barricade on this side, and they scattered to this side and struck it with firearms.

Before Li Yingyuan could speak, the general next to him slammed and roared, Li Yingyuan's ears were buzzing, and the other Francos and Bird Guns were also put up, and there was a smoke of gunpowder in front of the barricade.

"Hurry up, load quickly!" Li Yingyuan urged, a group of improvised gunners hurriedly began to load, the Wendeng battalion on the opposite side was still firing, through the smoke you could see the red sè gun flames, cāo as a few times as a long machine to change the good sub-gun, just after the change was quickly put on, even those archers did not stop messing around.

When the general's cannon was finally replaced, the gunner hurriedly lit the primer, and there was smoke again in front of the battle.

Li Yingyuan suddenly heard the sound of dense running on the opposite side, and secretly screamed in his heart, and hid behind his family in a flash, more than a dozen short-handled axes and javelins whistled to split the white smoke, knocking several gunners to the ground, and then the spearheads of several spears appeared on the barricade, stabbing at the gunners here, and the red military uniform was faintly visible in the smoke.

The gunners, who had suffered heavy casualties, shouted and fled to the rear. Li Yingyuan took his family to retreat more than ten steps, and loudly ordered the waiting soldiers behind him to rush forward to fight hand-to-hand.

Hundreds of old brothers flocked up under the leadership of Jiading, and the two sides began a bloody battle on the barricades, these all of the veteran soldiers were quite combative, and the Wendeng camp was in a stalemate for a while, Li Yingyuan was rejoicing, suddenly there was a gunshot behind him, he turned his head in surprise, only to see a group of rebellious soldiers escaping from the examination courtyard, while shouting "Wendeng camp is coming!" ”

Li Yingyuan came to the gate with his family, only to see a group of soldiers from the Wendeng camp appear in the examination institute, they scattered the rebels inside, and were advancing through the examination room to the south, and the panicked wolves fled to the east gate of the examination institute.

A family member ran out of the examination institute and said to Li Yingyuan: "Run quickly, they used cannons and sassalwood to collapse the north wall for a long time, and many soldiers rushed over from there to copy our back road." ”

Li Yingyuan patted his head, he only arranged to guard a few doors in the examination institute, but he didn't expect Wendeng Camp to directly break the wall, and now it has become a flank outflank.

This shout in the examination hall alarmed the veterans in front, and the panic of the attack in the rear quickly broke the morale of the veterans.

Li Yingyuan was careless, the defense line was already difficult to hold, he never thought that he could still put in the horse to block the large number of plagiarists in the examination institute, he didn't even care about riding the horse at the moment, mixed in the chaos of the army and fled to the second barricade, the back two barricades were also chaotic because of the attack on the flanks, Li Yingyuan cut over the blocking road under the escort of more than a dozen families, rushed through the second barricade, the front of the rout was more, making the street congested, Li Yingyuan was anxious, he planned to return to the urn city, where it can be attacked and defended, it will definitely be able to hold on for a while, after surviving the white death, Think of other ways in the evening.

A group of people were running wildly in the street, and suddenly there was a loud noise in the wall of the courtyard, and the courtyard wall on the right burst out of bricks like raindrops, and the bricks swept over, and the rout soldiers in the street fell down one by one, wailing and screaming, and the street was filled with smoke and dust.

A large hole was broken in the wall of the examination hall, and the wall above the entrance of the cave also collapsed, and some red figures appeared in the gap, facing the street in a chaotic manner, and then there were shadows jumping into the street, trying to cut off their retreat.

Li Yingyuan knew that they must be carrying that kind of small cannon, and if they were cut off, they would be dead, so he shouted at the moment, and turned left with his family into an alley, he personally opened the way with a waist knife, cut down the few slower routs in front of him, and fled to the east gate with their white spoon corpses.

The gunfire in the north continued, the defense line built by Li Yingyuan was broken layer by layer, the Wendeng battalion tactically opposed the road, the mandarin duck formation had a high tactical flexibility in narrow places, they constantly pressed from the street, and then the squad interspersed to disrupt the rebel defense line, the four-pounder cannon advanced with the assault team under the push of the gunners, forming a tactical group with artillery as the core in the big streets, and in the small streets and alleys, the killer team assault was the mainstay, constantly interspersed behind the rebels, causing the rebels to waver and collapse layer by layer. The combination of the two forces made the rebels unable to fight back, and the defensive line was shattered in less than an hour.

He hurried to the city of Chūn, which was still in the hands of the rebels, and there were many retreating rebels around the tower, scurrying around like headless flies.

Li Yingyuan left behind to put the general manager into the horse at the city ladder, and when he saw Li Yingyuan coming over, he hurriedly said: "Li Dajin, why did you lose so quickly." ”

"You go and try." Li Yingyuan scolded angrily, and said to the general: "The Wendeng camp is coming soon, hurry up and gather the defeated soldiers, let's guard the urn city." ”

After Li Yingyuan finished speaking, he led the family Ding Shun the city ladder upstairs, and only settled down on the city wall, the urn city is self-contained, only the city walls on both sides and two city ladders can come up, the north side is guarded by Hongyi cannons, the Wendeng camp is not steel and iron bones, it can't be beaten, the south side is still in the hands of Kong Youde, Li Yingyuan only needs to guard the city ladder.

He hid behind the female wall and panted repeatedly, his breath was slightly even, and he looked into the city, in front of him was the straight and wide Chūn Shengmen Street, the bustling street of Rì was in ruins, the street was full of corpses, and many shops on both sides were burned and collapsed, presenting a black sè background.

The defeated soldiers continued to pour into Chūn Shengmen Street from the north, and there were still a few barricades on the street, but Li Yingyuan had no hope for them at this time, there were countless streets and alleys on both sides of Chūn Shengmen Street, and according to this style of play of the Wendeng camp, he could easily outflank the barricades, and he did not think that those soldiers could desperately hold on. Once Chūn Shengmen Street was cut off, the east gate was left with only the city wall to the south as a retreat, but Li Yingyuan was not too worried, thinking that the city wall would be difficult to cut off.

After only a few moments, white smoke from muskets appeared at the intersection of the examination hall, and the sound of gunfire came from the barricades, and the two barricades escaped without surprise, and the slightly more determined rebels fired birds at the entrance of the alley and in the store, and the street was as lively as the New Year.

Li Yingyuan waved his hand, and the bird on the city tower lit the fire rope and aimed at the street below the city tower, and a group of defeated soldiers poured out of an alley forty steps away, all their white spoon armor and weapons were lost, and they crossed the street without their lives.

A group of defeated soldiers all ran towards the entrance of the alley, and a group of soldiers in Red Army uniforms rushed out of the street where they had just escaped, shooting guns and arrows at the fleeing defeated soldiers.

"Hit!" Li Yingyuan roared angrily.

Dozens of birds were fired in unison on the women's wall, and the housekeepers were also throwing arrows in a mess, and the Red Army uniforms fell down, and after a moment of panic, they found the horses on the city tower, and an officer gave a loud order, and they took advantage of the time of loading upstairs to drag back the dead and wounded on the ground.

Li Yingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was helpless further away, the bows and arrows could not be hit, the general was inaccurate, and the Hongyi cannon was too far away, and the high elevated city could not hit most targets.

He could only watch as the red sè on the streets of Chūn became more and more visible, and the two barricades were occupied by them, and they continued to attack south through the streets, and the defeated soldiers on the streets who could not escape knelt on the side of the road and kowtowed to beg for mercy, and then some soldiers of the Wenden battalion tied them up and threw them on the ground.

Li Jiucheng set up two barricades at Mifen Bridge, where there were hundreds of veterans from the time of Wu Qiao's uprising, as well as more than a dozen large and small artillery pieces, so Li Yingyuan was not too worried about the Wendeng camp taking zhōngyāng directly from the east.

What he is most worried about now is that the Wendeng battalion will storm the grass bridge, once they occupy the position from the book bridge to the bell tower, then all the rebels in the city will be divided, fortunately, there is no gunfire there, it should be that the Wendeng battalion is under-armed. This also makes the east gate even more important, if the east gate is lost, Wen Deng, who is deployed in Wollongong, will be able to enter the city to participate in the attack, and then it will be decided, Li Jiucheng has already called in to pass the message over, let him keep a good family, if he agrees to break through at night, he will have to rely on these jīng rui to accompany him, that is, they may become thieves again.

Just thinking about it, a gunshot rang out not far from the city, and a group of more than 20 defeated soldiers fled to the street, they were in tatters, bloodstained, including several leg wounds, dragged by the others to run, the leader was ready to go to the south side of the alley, turned his head and saw that there were rebels on the city tower, shouted a few times to the back, a group of people turned into the city ladder and came up, and quickly chased out a few Wen Deng soldiers with fire guns, Li Yingyuan hurriedly ordered the bird gun hand shè attack, Wen Deng soldiers hurriedly stopped, found a shop to cover, They came out in turn to shoot at the city walls.

The defeated soldiers who were being chased supported each other to climb the city wall along the ladder, and hid in a ball on the side of the urn city, Li Yingyuan called a family member and said, "Let them hurry up and help throw bricks and stones." ”

A moment later, there was a loud gunfire under the city, and groups of Wendeng soldiers appeared in the streets, and there were also musketeers in the courtyards and alleys near the city walls, and Li Yingyuan estimated that there would be as many as five or six hundred.

The rebels in the city were firing arrows and birds, and the miscellaneous soldiers prepared stones, fire bottles and ash bottles, and the Wendeng soldiers approached layer by layer with the cover of the streets and houses.

Seeing them approaching the city ladder, Li Yingyuan shouted, "The stones and trees are ready, and this ...... is stoned."

Before he could finish his sentence, a violent musket suddenly erupted in the position behind him, and the city was full of screams, and the bird and the family fell down more than ten times in unison, and immediately another round of shè blows, and the defenders of the city fell into complete confusion in the smoke.

Li Yingyuan's leg was wounded, he sat down against the female wall, and looked in the chaos, more than 20 defeated soldiers who had just gone to the city changed their wolf appearance, and were drawing their respective blades to fiercely slash the surrounding rebels defending the city, and the Wendeng soldiers under the city also swarmed up from the city ladder, Li Yingyuan couldn't help laughing miserably, "It's also that move." ”
