At this time, Xue Hongqi was chasing hard, Liu Chenggong and Wang Xi in front of them also fled urgently, and there were several cavalry soldiers around them, who also twisted over to shoot arrows, but Xue Hongqi also chased a group of horse bandits behind him, and also used arrows. The archery skills of both sides are bad enough, you shoot me, and you miss. I shoot you, and I don't hit.

Chasing and fleeing all the way, Xue Hongqi brandished a scimitar and shouted loudly: "The dog official is here." ”

Xu Renjie in the distance was worried about Xue Hongqi, turned his head to look, but saw a piece of green smoke rising from the head of Runing Mansion, like a spark shining, he was shocked: Not good, cannon.

"Xue Hongqi, run...... There is a cannon aimed at you......" Xu Renjie shouted anxiously, but it was too far away, and the cry could not be transmitted at all, in fact, at this time, there were still people roaring and neighing on the battlefield, and it was chaotic, not to mention that it was so far away, even if it was close, it was necessary to shout loudly in order for others to hear what he said.

Xue Hongqi didn't know that the danger was approaching, and he was still rushing forward.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud "boom" from the city, and because the position was too close, Xue Hongqi's jujube red horse was startled, and his body in a hurry bowed and jumped up. Xue Hongqi was lifted by the war horse, and the eyes that were originally looking straight ahead were also raised, and his eyes fell on the city, only to see the green smoke rising from the city head hundreds of zhang away, this is the scene after the cannon roared, she was surprised in her heart: where is the cannonball? Where did it fly? Didn't you already bombard me?

She felt it, her body was still there, her hands and feet were fine, she was still jumping off the war horse, and the horse bandits who followed behind her were also shouting. It seems that no one was bombed, so where did the shells go? Her eyes finally fell back to the front, and a pair of cherry lips couldn't help but open, turning into an O-shape,

I saw Liu Chenggong, Wang Xi, and a group of family soldiers around them, who were running desperately in front of her, all staggered and fell into a ball. It turned out that just now, a cannonball roared and smashed into the middle of them, and this cannonball did not directly hit Liu Chenggong and Wang Xi, but smashed into the body of a personal soldier. Smash him to the point of bursting his brain. Then the cannonball overturned the man's horse, sending it flying sideways and crashing into the other.

The sheer force overturned the other horse, and the horsemen flew out. Bumped into Liu Chenggong. Wang Xi next to him was startled. Out of anger, he reached over and wanted to support Liu Chenggong, but the force of the collision was so huge that Wang Xi couldn't support it at all. Several people fell off their horses together, the war horses were surprised, tilted their heads and collided, and bumped into other people, and the soldiers around them were implicated, you hit me, I hit you, and fell to the ground at once.

When Xue Hongqi saw this scene, he only felt unbelievable and couldn't understand it! Who is this cannon hitting?

Zhu Youqiao at the head of the city also opened his mouth wide, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when he figured out what was going on, he jumped up suddenly: "Artillery, who are you bastards fighting?" ”

The artilleryman ran to the ground with an aggrieved face: "Lord Wang, the cannon can't hit the ...... accurately"

"You can go to the left, you can go to the right, where is it not good? Why did you hit two generals? Zhu Youqiao was sweating profusely: "If they are bombarded to death, who will command the defense of the city?" This king does not wait for the thieves to kill you, but first screws off your dog's head. Come on, drag down this traitorous bastard and cut it down. ”

rushed left and right, dragged the artilleryman backwards, and the artilleryman cried loudly: "Wronged, the prince spares his life......" The voice gradually faded away, and finally became inaudible.

Xue Hongqi saw Liu Chenggong and Wang Xi fall to the ground, and wanted to go over and make up for it again, but he looked up at the cannon on the head of the city, and thought in his heart: This cannon didn't hit me, maybe the next cannon will hit, God knows where this cannon will hit, this place is not suitable for a long time, I better retreat.

She reined in her horse and returned, and the group of horse bandits behind saw that she finally turned around, and they were all relieved, and laughed together: "The eldest sister is really strong in martial arts, and she cut down two enemy generals in the chaos......

Xue Hongqi said: "Can this be counted as my cut?" ”

The horse bandits laughed: "Of course, if it weren't for the eldest sister chasing after with a knife, they wouldn't have beaten with cannons, and they wouldn't have hit their own people, of course, this must be the credit of the eldest sister." ”

At this time, the officers and soldiers outside the city had been killed and cried and screamed everywhere, Zhu Youjiao tightly closed the city gate to prevent them from retreating, and the officers and soldiers crowded under the hole in the city gate and slapped the city gate hard, but Zhu Youjiao in the city was worried that the thieves would rush in when the officers and soldiers entered the city, and insisted on refusing to open the door.

Zhu Jun didn't press too hard, because after all, there were cannons at the head of Runing City, and if they pressed too hard, Zhu Youjiao's madman would ignore the officers and soldiers under the city, and order artillery to be fired indiscriminately, and arrows would be fired indiscriminately. Zhu Jun retreated on his own, resting his ranks, taking care of the wounded, collecting the dead, and at the same time picking up the equipment discarded by the officers and soldiers on the battlefield.

Zhu Youjiao saw that they had no intention of pressing, so he hurriedly opened the city gate, took back the defeated army, and at the same time sent someone out to pick up Liu Chenggong and Wang Xi to go back, these two fell from the horse, and actually fell into serious injuries, their bodies could not move, they could only talk and eat, and it was impossible to heal in ten days and a half months. Zhu Youqiao was frightened, without a military general to defend the city, how could he, an idle prince, guard Runing? So he sent more than a dozen horsemen to the north and south to ask for help from Xuchang and Xinyang respectively.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not send someone to intercept his messenger for help, and let him go out of the city at will, but just surrounded Runing and put on a posture of planning to attack the city at any time. One day later, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Chuang general Li Zicheng, Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Cao Cao Luo Rucai and others led the main force to arrive, 50,000 troops surrounded the city of Runing, surrounded the city three layers inside and three layers outside, and Zhu Youjiao's messenger finally couldn't get out.

When the idle prince saw that the thieves were so powerful, his face turned black with fright, and he didn't even dare to go up to the city again.

The thieves held a military discussion again and invited Zhu Yuanzhang to come over to discuss.

During the banquet, Gao Yingxiang said: "The officers and soldiers of Runing Mansion were defeated by Brother Zhu in a battle, we have already carved a small hole in the encirclement network, and now this city does not need to be attacked again, just go around the city and go east, what do you think?" ”

From Runing to the east, you can return to Anhui, and Gao Yingxiang can turn around a few more big circles.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Brother Chuangwang, at this time, only a small hole has been opened in the encirclement network, and as soon as the officers and soldiers of the north and south roads are combined, this small hole will have to be filled in immediately, and what you have to face is still an army of 70,000." ”

"And what do you think?" Gao Yingxiang did not dare to despise Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion.

"Tear the hole wider!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed his finger on the map: "Zhu Youjiao's heart for self-protection is very heavy, a few days ago, he has sent more than a dozen horses out to ask for help, and soon after, Zuo Liangyu in charge of Xuchang and Ai Wannian in charge of Xinyang will both come to the rescue of Runing, let's have the oldest siege tactics to send reinforcements." ”

Gao Yingxiang heard Zuo Liangyu and Ai Wannian, his heart trembled: "The surname Zuo is not easy to do, and the surname Ai is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if the two of them arrive together, when there are tens of thousands of horses, plus the defenders of Runing Mansion are desperately fighting out, the inside and outside should be combined, and our army may not be able to encircle and send reinforcements, if the battle is stalemate, they bite it, as soon as Lu Xiangsheng's main force arrives, we will have to be defeated again." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "It's very simple, don't pay attention to Zuo Liangyu, just play Ai Wannian all the way." ”

"Ignore him?" Gao Yingxiang was slightly shocked.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't move the camp without permission, just let the camp remain as it is now, only leave 20% of the army to operate in the camp, my army will stay to surround Runing Mansion, and your main force will all go south and ambush Ai Wannian on the way, as for Zuo Liangyu who came from the north, just let him come." ”

Gao Yingxiang calculated slightly, with the battle of the four men and horses of King Chuang, General Chuang, Lao Huihui, and Cao Cao, it is not difficult to eat Ai Wannian, the key to the problem is that after they leave, can the people who stay deal with Zuo Liangyu, if Zuo Liangyu and Runing defenders come out together, break through Zhu Bajun with the fastest speed, and then go south to beat their ass, then they will be caught between Zuo Liangyu and Ai Wannian.

Gao Yingxiang thought so in his heart, and his face was naturally revealed.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't worry, Zuo Liangyu can't come." He spoke lightly, but he had a certain majesty that made people have to believe it.

He dragged Zuo Liangyu and Runing garrison here, and let Gao Yingxiang and others ambush Ai Wannian, and those who didn't understand thought that he had taken over the burden, because everyone thought that Zuo Liangyu was more difficult to gnaw than Ai Wannian.

Lao Hui Ma Shouying is a man who values righteousness, and when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang take the initiative to take Zuo Liangyu, he was immediately in awe, and came forward to give Zhu Yuanzhang a big salute: "Brother Zhu is trying his best to carry the heavy burden, but let me wait to pick up the cheap, your righteousness, bow down." ”

Cao Cao and Luo Rucai also came up and said a few good words, expressing their admiration for Yunyun, only Li Zicheng was alone and sneered beside him, he waited for everyone to finish speaking, then he came forward and hugged Zhu Yuanzhang and asked: "After the war is over, will Brother Zhu go to the east with us, or will he go back to Shaanxi?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him deeply and said in a deep voice: "I'll go back to Shaanxi!" ”

Li Zicheng sneered: "Before Zuo Liangyu arrives, if you flee back to western Shaanxi first, won't the back of our army be exposed to the enemy?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces were shocked, only Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "I will definitely return to Shaanxi, but it must be after you defeat Ai Wannian and get out of the encirclement, if you violate this word, you will not die." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang dared to say this, naturally he had his plans, because he knew that Zuo Liangyu was a warlord who was more warlord than He Renlong, and after Gao Jie's words, Zuo Liangyu would be more cautious than He Renlong, and would no longer easily fight with the thief army. So he asked Gao Yingxiang and others to stay in the camp to confuse the enemy, Zuo Liangyu came here, and when he saw the camp of 50,000 troops, he would not dare to attack, just like under Luoyang City, he would stand by and watch, and would not come to fight with Zhu Jun. There will be no war on his side at all, but Gao Yingxiang and they will have a good fight when they meet the brave and brave Ai Wannian, and everyone doesn't know why, even Li Zicheng thought that he would escape the war in the west, who knew that he was fighting such an abacus.
