Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! An earth-shattering thunderbolt came, and Li Guo's fifty huge tiger cannons began to erupt.

The first wave of fifty huge cannonballs smashed accurately on the city wall of the south gate of Guangzhou Prefecture, accompanied by thick smoke and dust, and the huge sound was mixed with the cracking sound of the city wall bricks, which was endless.

Bricks and rubble were flying, and there were no living people on the tower of the south gate.

But this is not the end, the roaring artillery sound came one after another, wave after wave, and Li Guo's artillery team fired five waves of shells in a short period of time!

When the last wave of shells hit the city wall, the 300-meter-long wall boomed and fell, filling the sky with smoke and dust.

Li Riye, the pacification envoy of Guangdong, who was not leaving the city gate, was almost stoned to death, and stood up in a panic with the support of the guards.

Li Riye had never fought, he was startled by the situation just now, listening to the sound of war drums outside the city, and the roar, Li Riye almost peed his pants in fright, he sat down on the ruins and shouted, "Hurry up, put the white flag on, let's surrender!" ”

Li Guo's soldiers were about to charge, but they saw a white flag suddenly erected in the city.

Li Guo scolded: "These guys, toast and don't eat and drink!" Stop the attack first and see what happens? ”

After a while, I saw a few people crawling out of the collapsed city wall, walking out of the city, also holding a small white flag in their hands.

As he got closer, Li Guo found that it was the messenger sent by Li Riye three days ago.

When the messenger walked in front of Li Guo, before the messenger could speak, Li Guo shouted, "First, you sue Li Riye and the officials in the city. Unconditional obedience! Remember! They are not surrendering to me, they are obedient. Second. Lao Tzu did not rebel, they obeyed me not turned their backs on the Ming Dynasty. Lao Tzu has raised enough money and salary, but he still has to leave. Thirdly, to sue them, I Li Guo still retains their positions. Fourth, if they don't obey, after an hour, Lao Tzu will attack! Moreover, Lao Tzu wants to slaughter the city! ”

The messenger was so frightened that he didn't dare say a word, but turned around and ran. Hurry up and inform Li Riye.

Gu Ying on the side asked, "Master Tiger, we have never had such conditions before, those officials of the imperial court, which one should not be killed!" But now we're going to let them go, how is that? ”

Li Guo smiled and said, "You still haven't understood, war is also politics." We sent troops this time, and we didn't kill these officials in the prefectures, counties, and provincial cities, which was originally for people to see. ”

"For people to see? Who is it for? "Gu Ying really doesn't understand.

"When we attack a certain place. The local officials surrendered, we don't kill. In this way, when we attack another place, the officials of that place are likely to surrender. This is called bloodlessness. Besides, why don't we raise the banner of rebellion? It's to let these officials have a step down, in fact. These dog officials are also greedy for life and afraid of death, but when it comes to honor. Some people are not afraid of death. Li Guo explained, "However, the people's anger is particularly great. It's still going to be killed. ”

Gu Ying nodded, as if she understood a little, but asked again, "Master Hu, do you say that Li Riye will surrender?" ”

Li Guo smiled and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

Gu Ying also smiled, "They will definitely surrender, the power of these fifty cannons is even terrifying for me to see!" ”

"Hahaha! That's right. Li Guo laughed

In the city of Guangzhou, the various officials who had long gathered to pacify the embassy had long been arguing, quarrelling, and discussing.

Li Riye waved his hand and stopped everyone's conversation: "Everyone, what kind of system are you arguing about?" ”

"But my lord, this is a war or a surrender, what should I do, you take a charter!" An official asked.

Everyone stopped talking and listened to what Li Riye said.

Li Riye frowned, "Charter? What charter? I tell you, we can only obey Li Guo, of course, we are not surrendering, we are obedient. ”

"But sir, isn't this different?"

Li Riye glared at the man who spoke, "The same fart!" Of course it's different! If Li Guo is a rebel thief, we will naturally fight to the end! Be loyal to my Emperor Chongzhen, and be loyal to my Ming Dynasty! But I am still familiar with Li Guo, and he came to Guangdong across the border this time, I think it is also a last resort. ”

"As a last resort?" I didn't get it.

"Hmm!" Li Riye stroked his long beard and began to make excuses for his surrender, "Everyone has also heard that Li Guo has never received a little military salary in Guangxi, and in the past few years, he has spent a lot of money on his expedition to the east and west. Therefore, I think Li Guo is just for money and food this time. ”

"Then let's find a way to raise money for Li Guo, and let Li Guo withdraw the army, won't it be over?" An official came up with an idea.

"Alas! I am also to blame for this, Li Guo did ask for silver at the beginning, but according to the inspector Wu Weidao, he ignored the safety of the people in the whole city, and even fought without authorization, which attracted Li Guo's shelling. Presumably you all went to the south gate to see, and in a short burst of shelling, thousands of soldiers defending the city were killed, and even the city walls were knocked down, which was tragic! That Wu Weidao was killed and he was also asking for himself! Li Riye sighed.

"What does the envoy mean, that is, we will obey Li Guo?" An official asked.

"For the sake of the life of the people of Sangzi, we should be obedient to Li Guo at this time. Besides, Li Guo's army is strong, let's not be reckless and touch its edge! At this time, Li Riye thought of using the safety of the people as a pretext.

"No! Life and death are small, but fame and festival are big, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death! It should be fought to the death with that Li Guo! A different voice came out.

Li Riye swept his eyes over, it was the official surnamed Zhang in Guangzhou, Li Riye snorted coldly, "Lord Zhang is so impassioned!" Okay, now that Wu Weidao was killed by Li Guo's cannon, you want to rescue the people of Fucheng. Now Li Guo has hundreds of thousands of horses outside the city, and the big swords and guns are ready, you go! You go and lead the soldiers to kill Li Guo! ”

Immediately, the pusher didn't even have a fart.

As a result, in the city of Guangzhou, led by Li Riye, the pacification envoy of Guangdong, officials at all levels have reached an agreement that they want to temporarily obey Li Guo, but this is not called surrender!

So, Li Guo himself didn't expect that the attack on Guangzhou Mansion would be surprisingly smooth. After the envoy returned to the city, only half an hour later, the white flag on the city of Guangzhou was hung again.

But Li Guo was afraid of fraud, so he sent in a few hundred people first. It turned out that Li Riye surrendered sincerely. Therefore, Li Guo ordered Zhang Ding to rush into the city with 5,000 cavalry and take charge of the security in the city.

In accordance with Li Guo's instructions, Li Riye ordered more than 10,000 officers and soldiers guarding the city to go out of the city and accept Li Guo's adaptation.

Li Guo organized them in the Chinese army, and the 50,000 people in the Chinese army were mixed armies from Malacca and Annam, which were now renamed the Fourth Mixed Army, and with the newly formed Ming army in Guangzhou, there were 60,000 people.

At this time, the rear army of the cow's grass was organized into the third army.

Speaking of which, Li Guo now has four armies and 130,000 people. (To be continued......)
