After going to the city wall, Pi Erdan hacked to death a firecracker of the Great Shun Army for no reason, and the corner of his eye swept to the side, and immediately found that he had alarmed the surrounding defenders, if he didn't solve the two remaining firecrackers in front of him, he would be surrounded by a miserable end.

"Kill!"

The red-eyed Pi Erdan rushed towards the two people in front of him, and the ammunition in the hands of the two firecrackers had already been knocked out, and now he saw the Pi Erdan holding a steel knife rushing over, and immediately reversed the firecracker one by one, holding the barrel and smashing the butt against Pi Erdan. After all, the guns of this period also had the responsibility of cold weapons, and the huge and heavy butts could also kill people.

Pi Erdan was also a ruthless man, raised a steel shield with his left hand to protect his head, and rushed forward without retreating.

Continuous "Bang Dang! Two sounds, two huge gun butts smashed on the round shield, Pi Erdan only felt a huge force coming from the shield, and the left hand holding the shield had a hot and sharp pain, and he didn't need to look at it to know that the tiger's mouth in his left hand must have broken. He gritted his teeth, and before the two people in front of him had time to stop, the steel knife in his right hand slashed fiercely.

"Ahh

A miserable scream sounded again, the body of a firecracker on the right was split off in half, and the whole person fell to the ground screaming, watching the two companions fall in front of him one after another, the last remaining firecracker finally couldn't bear it, threw down the firecracker in his hand, turned around and ran towards his companions behind him, Pi Erdan saw the enemy turn and fled, and immediately threw out the steel knife in his hand without thinking, and the steel knife that flew out stabbed into the back of the firecracker a few steps away from the back, and the sharp sword emerged from his chest, The firecracker fell silently.

He did not go to the firecracker he had just killed and pulled out his steel sword, but handed his shield from his wounded left hand to his right hand, because there were already seven or eight pikemen with spears in their hands, and it was too late to pull out their weapons.

Just as Pi Erdan held a shield and vigilantly looked at the several pikemen who were slowly approaching from the side, he protected his body with the shield and slowly retreated, his heart was also secretly bitter at this time, the three firecrackers who had just killed him had exhausted his physical strength, and if he let these pikemen bully him, he would only end up dead.

Slowly retreated to the edge of the city wall, Pi Erdan's back had already resisted the wall bricks behind him, feeling the cold and hard wall tiles behind him, Pi Erdan's heart also became cold, at this time he only had a shield in his hand, and he couldn't deal with a few pikemen on the opposite side no matter what.

Just as Pi Erdan was about to close his eyes and wait for death, several figures came out from his side, and these figures came to him and protected Pi Erdan behind him, it turned out that several soldiers under Pi Erdan also climbed the city wall, and a total of four people quickly protected their captain.

A sword and shield soldier asked loudly while on guard, "Head, are you alright?" ”

Pi Erdan, who breathed a long sigh of relief, was dressed in a big gulp, and said in a muffled voice: "It's okay, brothers, be careful, you must hold on, and wait until the brothers catch up." After saying that, Pi Erdan also looked at the place where he climbed up just now, where it was empty, obviously the people below had not had time to catch up.

The four sword and shield soldiers confronted the seven or eight pikemen in front of them while protecting Pi Erdan.

The two sides glared at each other like bullfights, and a murderous aura erupted in an instant, and soon, these pikemen lost their patience and roared in unison, and the spears in their hands stabbed at several people at the same time, and the force was extremely fierce.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

A series of heavy crashes were heard, and seven or eight spears stabbed the shields with a crisp sound, followed by a series of crashing sounds.

The main attack of the spear, as the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, the powerful attack power of the spear has always been the favorite of the soldiers in the war, and the necrotic offensive and defensive balance of the two sword and shield soldiers of Pi Erdan and their sword and shield soldiers pay attention to the balance of attack and defense, in the face of several pikemen who have occupied the peak in both number and length, they can only helplessly retreat, and what is worse is that the fierce battle on their side has attracted the attention of the surroundings, and more and more Dashun soldiers and soldiers rushed in this direction.

And the weapon in his hand has long been lost, but he can only helplessly hide behind his companion and secretly anxious, looking at the soldiers who are constantly rushing to this side, Pi Erdan, touched his body indiscriminately, and soon touched a cold cylindrical object on his waist, his heart was suddenly happy, how could he forget this thing.

He didn't have time to think about it, he immediately took out this thing and held it in his hand, and took out a fire fold and blew it a few times, and soon the fire fold lit up, just when Pi Erdan was doing these things, several companions who were fighting fiercely with the Dashun army in front of him were outnumbered, and two of them were injured to varying degrees, and the formation of the four companions was about to be broken.

Seeing that your matter was urgent, Pi Erdan couldn't take care of it much, and put the fire fold on the cylindrical object, and soon a sneering sound sounded, and then Pi Erdan yelled: "Brothers, hurry down and prepare to explode!" ”

After speaking, he threw the things in his hand towards the pikemen of the Dashun army, and then immediately turned around and ran back two steps before lying on the ground with a dog gnawing mud, and the faces of the sword and shield soldiers immediately changed greatly after hearing the words of Pi Erdan, and they all fell to the ground after a tiger leap backwards.

"Boom!"

A deafening loud bang sounded behind them, because Fang Cai Pi Erdan threw the thunder of the Great Zhou Army, although this extremely primitive grenade was only filled with black powder, but because of its large charge, the power of the explosion of two catties of black powder was also very amazing, and the layer of iron wrapped outside was turned into dozens of fragments with the explosion and flew around.

After the explosion, the seven or eight Dashun soldiers who had been huddled together had disappeared, leaving only a pile of minced meat on the ground, and the large sky-shattering thunder that exploded under their feet had already blown them into the sky.

And less than ten steps away from them, Pi Erdan and several of his subordinates didn't know where the weapons in their hands flew to, at this time their heads were like 10,000 flies screaming collectively, the whole person's ears were buzzing, and it was difficult to even stand up, and dozens of steps away, dozens of Dashun soldiers who were startled by the explosion also stood in place in fear, looking at the smoke rising in front of them and not daring to come over for a while.

After a long time, Pi Erdan shook his head vigorously, slowly got up, he shook several soldiers around him, and after these soldiers were shaken awake, they also took out the thunder on their waists, and took advantage of the short opportunity when the surrounding Great Zhou soldiers were frightened to ignite the earth-shaking thunder in their hands and threw it around.

"Boom Boom Boom"

A series of explosions sounded on the city wall, flying fragments, and the debris stirred up by the explosion gave the defenders on the city wall a huge damage, making it a mess within dozens of steps around Pi Erdan and others, and there were traces of the explosion everywhere.

The efforts of Pi Erdan and others were not in vain, and during this time, dozens of Great Zhou soldiers climbed the city wall.

"Well done Captain Pivu! After the war, the official will ask for credit to the prince for you! A general also climbed up, and he patted Pi Erdan's shoulder and complimented.

As more and more soldiers climbed the city wall, the Great Zhou army finally occupied a section of the city wall, and more and more Great Zhou soldiers climbed the city wall, and they began to attack the surrounding area under the command of a hundred generals.

The situation here was seen by Pang Gang, who was watching the battle from behind, with a clairvoyant mirror, and Pang Gang's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he shouted loudly: "Okay!" Tell Cheng Kai to speed up the attack, don't give the thieves a chance to breathe, as long as the south gate is captured, Yanjing City will be ours. ”

With Pang Gang's order, the attack on the south gate also increased, and after gaining a firm foothold, Cheng Kai immediately mobilized a battalion of riflemen to also go up to the city wall, and after a while, bursts of gunfire began to sound on the city wall

The news of the defeat in the battle at the South Gate soon reached Li Zicheng's ears, and a bloodied commander stumbled to Li Zicheng and reported: "King Chuang, it's not good, the Great Zhou army has attacked the city wall, the brothers can't stand it, and the brothers under the villain have been killed and wounded." ”

"Dead and wounded?" Li Zicheng's face was already able to scrape off a layer of ice, his right hand held the hilt of the treasure knife at his waist, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Since your brothers are all dead, why are you still alive!" ”

The stammering man had to distinguish, "I"

A cold light flashed, and the commander was killed on the spot by Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng held the sword that was still dripping blood, and said coldly to Li Guo on the side: "Brother Li Guo, you are responsible for the defense of the South Gate, and now that it has been attacked by the enemy, then you will take it, if you can't take back the South Gate, you know the consequences!" Li Zicheng's words were full of determination.

Li Guo also knew that now it was time for the life and death of the Dashun army, and if he could not recapture the South Gate, the fate of the Dashun Army was almost doomed, and he laughed miserably: "King Chuang, I have been following you for ten years, you can rest assured, if you can't take back the south gate of the city wall after a stick of incense, you will not see the humiliation in the future." ”

After speaking, Li Guo took a spear from the hand of a subordinate behind him, and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Brothers from the left camp and the right canal, come with me, if we can't take back the city wall, we will die there together!" ”

After speaking, Li Guo took the lead in running over with a gun, and behind him were thousands of Dashun soldiers armed with various weapons, and a fierce siege and defense battle began again.

At the same time, after occupying a section of the city wall, hundreds of riflemen also went up the city wall under the cover of sword and shield soldiers, once hundreds of riflemen lined up in formation, it was very terrible, with the bursts of guns rang out, countless Dashun soldiers who rushed towards them fell in a pool of blood, just like that, as more and more people went up to the city wall, the place occupied by the Great Zhou army was also like a snowball getting bigger and bigger.

Time passed slowly, and there were more and more gaps broken through by the Great Zhou army, if you look down from the sky, you can see that countless soldiers wearing black armor occupy more and more places, and due to the limited space on the city wall, the soldiers in brown armor in the city have an advantageous number, but they can't all go up to the city wall to defend, so that they are becoming more and more passive, and there are more and more places lost.

"King Chuang, our people can't hold it, let's retreat first, Li Guo was also killed in battle just now!"

On the tower of the city gate at the south gate, Liu Zongmin, who was out of breath, ran to Li Zicheng, and his left hand was hung up at some point, wrapped in a cloth tape.

"King Chuang, the south gate has been broken through in many places, our people and horses can't hold it, King Chuang, let's talk (retreat) first!" Liu Zongmin, who was in a hurry, accidentally said the black words when he was a beard in the past.

Seeing Liu Zongmin's panicked expression, Li Zicheng reprimanded calmly: "What are you panicking, we still have an army of more than 100,000 people, we still have a chance to rebel, as long as our soldiers use their lives, we can't annihilate that Pang Gang here, as long as we defeat Pang Gang, who else can stop us in the world!" ”

Song Xiance saw that Li Zicheng had lost his eyes like a gambler who had lost all his money, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, and stood up and said: "King Chuang, now that the southern city is about to be lost, let's take advantage of the fact that we still have troops in our hands, and quickly organize people to break through, so that Qingshan will not worry about running out of firewood!" ”

After listening to Song Xiance's words that also agreed with Liu Zongmin, a trace of hesitation flashed in Li Zicheng's eyes, and he turned to Niu Jinxing and said, "Master Niu, what do you think?" ”

At this time, Niu Jinxing was also frightened by the battle situation at this time, and when he heard Li Zicheng's inquiry, he gritted his teeth and said: "King Chuang, Song Junshi is right, now the situation is not good, let's hurry back to Shaanxi to make a comeback." ”

Seeing that his subordinates, whether they were generals or military divisions, agreed with the retreat, Li Zicheng still hesitated: "But now that the enemy army has blocked the city gate, how can we rush out?" ”

Seeing that Li Zicheng was still suffering from gains and losses, Li Yan on the side sighed secretly in his heart, and kept sighing that he didn't find out that he was a person who could afford to take it but couldn't put it down.

Seeing that Li Zicheng was still hesitating, Niu Jinxing was anxious, and hurriedly said: "King Chuang, don't hesitate, as the so-called loss of land and people, people and land, you must not be confused, as long as we can return to Shaanxi and then rectify the soldiers and horses, we still have a chance to come back, if you are worried about the interception of the Great Zhou army outside the city, we can break through in four directions at the same time, as long as we can highlight the seeds of our righteous army, it will not be broken." ”

Li Zicheng looked at the outside of the surrounding city wall again, and found that the surroundings were still in chaos at this time, with his eyes of many years of practice, he knew that Niu Jinxing They were right, although he still had 100,000 troops in his hands, but if he didn't break through as soon as possible, he would really all fold here.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng finally made up his mind, stomped his foot violently and said, "Okay, let's break through immediately." Lone decided that we were divided into four ways to break through, Jiexuan, Dingguo, Shaking Flag, and each led a road to break through from the east, south, and west directions, and Lone and Niu Army Divisions and Song Army Divisions broke through from the north gate, and everyone broke through to Xi'an after breaking through! ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, everyone immediately got off the city wall and hurriedly prepared to go, and half an hour later, all the nine gates of Yanjing City suddenly opened, and countless soldiers wearing gray-brown armor poured out like a torrent. The actions of the Dashun army startled Pang Gang, who was commanding the army to attack the city.

Anxious, he immediately changed his order: "Quick, order all legions to defend their own directions, extremely block the enemy army, and never let the thieves escape, who let Li Zifan take him and ask!" ”

With Li Zicheng's breakthrough, the original siege battle quickly turned into a big melee, with hundreds of thousands of horses fighting in a circle of dozens of kilometers. The Great Shun Army desperately wanted to rush out, while the Great Zhou Army was desperately struggling to reach the gap, and for a time the battlefield was dark and the moon was dark.

The melee lasted until the evening, and except for a small part of the Dashun army that broke through, more than 30,000 of the remaining 100,000 troops were killed, and the rest of the nearly 100,000 surrendered.

Pang Gang stood on a big cart, Lu Kuanliang led thousands of guards to surround the surrounding hundreds of steps, looking at the posture of those guards, even if a mouse wanted to approach Pang Gang, they had to agree.

A knight with a small red flag on his back galloped over, and the surrounding guards looked at it and asked him to come over, this knight came to Pang Gang and dismounted before and after, knelt down to Pang Gang, and reported loudly: "Report, General Huang came to report, the Second Army completely annihilated 30,000 horses in Liu Zongmin's rear camp outside the east gate, and Liu Zongmin himself has been killed by General Huang because of his stubborn resistance!" ”

"Got it, let's go down!" Pang Gang waved his hand calmly and let him go down.

"Report! General Cheng came to report that he had surrounded and annihilated all the men and horses of the thief's right battalion outside the south gate, and killed more than 20,000 people including the thief general Li Dingguo! ”

"Report! General Bin came to report that he had completely annihilated the men and horses in front of the thieves outside the West Gate, and captured more than 20,000 thieves such as Hao Shaoqi! ”

The good news was reported to Pang Gang one by one, but Lu Kuanliang, who had been by Pang Gang's side, noticed that his boss's face did not show much joy.

Lu Kuanliang couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, why was the prince still not very happy after annihilating so many thieves, at this time Pang Gang asked the knight who came to report the news:

"Is there any news of the thief leader Li Zicheng?"

The knights shook their heads one after another: "Lord Qiqi, there is no news of the thief leader so far!" ”

Pang Gang's brows slowly furrowed, if Li Zicheng was really allowed to escape, it would be endless troubles
