Chapter 295: Breaking the City
Early on the morning of the third day, the soldiers guarding the east gate heard another shout. But they ignored it, the daily noise was annoying, and most of them continued to sleep, too sleepy.
Some of the timid soldiers, feeling that something was wrong, looked out of the city, startled, and shouted.
In two days, Li Guo ordered people to build countless long ladders, and at this time, Li Guo concentrated more than 2,000 people to attack the east gate only. When the Ming army found them, the ladder had already been set up at the head of the city, and someone was climbing up.
The Ming army got up one after another, most of them were still in a daze, only one hundred Ming troops were guarding the east gate, and the rest were all people who were pulled to help defend the city.
The ordinary people who were defending the city wall were forced to come, and they were all panicked and at a loss for what to do. But these people were faintly feeling in their hearts that it would be good if the red lady from outside the city entered the city.
In the past few days, Li Guo not only harassed the Ming army defending the city outside the city, but also did enough propaganda work. What "after entering the city, do not disturb the people!" "Just to rescue the Li Yan officials who are sympathetic to the people! "What only catch the dog, the county makes Song Cheng alone!" "As long as you surrender, no one will be killed." Wait a minute.
But the slogan that shouts the most and is the most effective is "Open a warehouse and release grain!" ”
In the year of the catastrophe, there is no better than "opening a warehouse and releasing grain!" This sentence can stir people's hearts even more, although the people living in the county are still living well.
Therefore, seeing that the attack began outside the city, some of the people at the head of the city had already reversed their pace and prepared to flee.
Of course, some Ming soldiers came to their senses in a panic and instinctively wanted to knock down the ladder on the head of the city.
At this time, among the people besieging the city, a man in white and a woman in red were particularly conspicuous. That is Li Guo and the Red Lady.
Li Guo knew that his strength could not be discharged. Put away the red tassel gun and draw the waist knife. Take the lead and climb a long ladder and attack upwards.
The red lady took the red rope from her waist and skimmed it at the head of the city. In just one moment, the grabbing on the rope hooked the head of the city. The red lady pulled the rope, kicked two steps on the city wall, and jumped into the air with a force, like a red phoenix soaring in the fire. Floated into the air.
The people in the city and the city were stunned, and they all stopped moving, watching the red lady fly up to the city like a fairy.
Although the city wall of Qixian County is only a few meters high, the red lady's light kung fu is really amazing!
The red lady stood on top of the city, and shouted coquettishly, "Put down your weapons, don't kill those who follow!" ”
Li Guo also suddenly jumped up to the city from the long ladder, slashed over a Ming soldier beside him with a knife, and yelled, "Kneel!" Lao Tzu Li is here! ”
Looking at more and more people climbing the city wall, looking at the god-like Li Guo and the red lady. The people defending the city and the Ming army threw away what they were holdings, fell to their knees, and begged for mercy.
Qixian was thus breached, but it did not fall into chaos.
The brothers of Deyi Ban led the more than 100 cavalry on Jigong Mountain to patrol around the city. Zab is in charge of managing these people.
Don't look at Zabu's age, but Li Guohujun's rules are kept in mind. Zabu personally led a team of horses and slashed down seven or eight villains who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob. The city began to be in order.
After saying that the warehouse is opened and the grain is released, it is natural to talk and count. Wang Tiekou was under Li Guo's previous meticulous guidance. In the future, the people who will attack the city in the county seat of Qixian County will already be distributed according to the village tunlijia, and the grain will be distributed from village to village. There is no mistake. The people of the city had to wait for a share of the grain.
Li Guo and the Red Lady personally went to catch the culprit, Song Cheng, the county commander of Qixian County.
That Song Cheng was sinister and cunning, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he had already rushed to the prison first, and he ordered someone to pull Li Yan, who was stuffed with rags in his mouth and tied tightly, out of the prison. Song Cheng personally took a knife and put it on Li Yan's neck.
Seeing this, Li Guo was furious, ran forward with his eyes widened, and said angrily, "No one dares to threaten in front of Lao Tzu!" Put down the knife and leave you a whole corpse! ”
Song Cheng's face turned pale, trembling all over, and said, "It's okay to put the knife down, but I beg the good man to spare the life of the dog below!" ”
Li Guo was furious and took a step forward.
Then Song Cheng immediately put away the knife and put the blade against Li Yan's neck, "Good man, since you don't spare the little one, the little one has to die with Li Yan." ”
Li Guo was hesitant, in the name of saving Li Yan, but Li Yan was killed, which didn't seem good. But if Song Cheng, the bastard, is released, Li Guo will not be reconciled.
At this time, Song Cheng pointed his knife at Li Guo, "Hero, you retreat, I will not be polite to Li Yan if you go further!" ”
Before he finished speaking, the knife in Song Cheng's hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Li Guo looked at it, and a sharp grab hooked Song Cheng's wrist, and a gorgeous red rope was attached to the scratch. The red lady looked at Li Guo with a smug look on her face.
Li Guo stepped forward and slashed at Song Cheng, "Your grandmother, dare to threaten Lao Tzu, don't you know that Lao Tzu hates others the most?" ”
That Song City was cut down to pieces, and it would not be able to survive for a long time.
Li Guo turned his head and nodded at the red lady. The red lady brought Li Guo more surprises than again, killed Zhao Tuanlian, who made the double hammer, jumped into the air to the city head of Qi County, and hit the knife in the hand of Song Cheng of Feizhi County, this little woman is amazing? What's that name? Martial arts master! This red lady is an out-and-out martial arts master!
Thinking that sooner or later he would accept the martial arts master red lady in front of him, Li Guo couldn't say how happy he was.
At this time, Li Yan had already been loosened by Li Mu and pulled out the rags stuffed in his mouth. After listening to what happened, Li Yan stepped forward, clasped his fists with both hands at Li Guo and the red lady, and thanked him for his salute. "Thank you two, if it weren't for the two of you who came back to save me, I might have died in Huangquan, the great kindness of the two, although death is not enough to repay."
Li Guo said angrily, "Since you and I are called brothers, there is no need to thank you." Besides, I, Li Guo, have made an oath to eradicate the injustices in the world, even if we don't know each other, I can't ignore it! ”
"Li Guo? Which Li Guo? Li Yan asked.
The red lady glanced at Li Guo and said to Li Yan, "This is the hero who killed the Tartars outside the gate and fought Annan in Guangxi, the white tiger Li Guo!" ”
Hearing that the Red Lady called herself a hero, Li Guo was overjoyed, and his weight became heavier and heavier in the Red Lady's heart.
When Li Yan heard that the person in front of him was Li Guo, his body was shocked, and then he gave a deep salute, "Oops! I really have no eyes to recognize General Lee, forgive my sins! Expiation! ”
Li Guo pulled Li Yan up, and suddenly had an idea in his heart. That is to leave Li Yan here.
Because Li Guo himself is going to take the red lady back to Guangxi, but what should I do about the people, things, and things here? Let Li Yan take care of it. Moreover, Li Guo wanted to pacify the world, and he was ready to contact Li Zicheng, leaving Li Yan to help Li Zicheng rebel in the north, and his pressure in the south would be less. In addition, Li Yan and the Red Lady were a little confused in the original time and space, and Li Guo didn't want Li Yan to stay by his side.
The idea is certain, Li Guo was polite to Li Yan, "You and my brother, don't be formal." Li Yan Gongzi is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, I, Li Guo, have long known your name and have always admired it. ”
Li Yan looked like a wolf just now, but when he saw Li Guo loving him so much, he couldn't help but be moved, "General Li has a heavy army in his hands, and he is really an immortal hero!" Now, I am so grateful for being so polite to me in white clothes! It can be seen that General Li is really an extraordinary person, and he is remarkable. It's just that he is humble and incompetent, although he wants to follow the work of dogs and horses, he is afraid that he can't be caught. Li Yan said sincerely.
Li Yan has read poetry and books since he was a child, and has also practiced some martial arts, but he was implicated by his father Li Jingbai, and he has no fame, and he is not even a showman. But after all, Li Yan is a scholar, and he also has the arrogance of a scholar at that time, that is, if you are polite to him, he is even willing to give you his life, which is called the death of a confidant. Seeing Li Guo so humble to himself, Li Yan's heart had already been convinced. In addition, the county order of Qi County was killed in front of his eyes, and he couldn't get out of it, so it was better to follow Li Guo.
After listening to Li Yan's words, Li Guo smiled slightly, which was exactly what he wanted, what he wanted was such an effect, and he praised Li Yan even more in his words.
Seeing this, Li Yan was even more sincerely frightened, and sincerely surrendered. (To be continued......)
