It turned out that Gao Yanzong stole and sold ordnance, and a lot of gunpowder in Jinan City also fell into the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and it was hidden in Badouzhai and other places. The White Lotus cultists in Shandong were not proficient in the operation of firearms, and they rarely used firearms to shoot in battle, so there was still a lot of this gunpowder left. This Li Zixin is resourceful and born as a civil engineer. He came to Su Gui's camp for a few days, went around the city to check, and selected a city wall that was not firmly rooted and had been damaged in the fierce attack for more than ten days.

That night, the White Lotus Sect excavated in various places outside the city, making a gesture to attack the city with earth mountains and tunnels, in fact, the main purpose was for this section. The tunnel to be determined was dug close to the root of the city wall, and thousands of catties of gunpowder were placed in several coffins, which were ignited together at dawn. It was a real crash. Although the city wall of Jinan was built strongly, it was blasted open from the foundation by thousands of catties of gunpowder, and the entire section of the city bricks of the foundation was shattered, and suddenly it was crooked, and even vertical cracks appeared.

Then, tens of thousands of White Lotus Sect disciples who had already been ambushed outside the city shouted in unison, and they all rushed towards this section. Dozens of rushing cars were pushed by thousands of people, and the huge impact of the front of the car hit the city wall with a bang. Thousands of other people, old and weak, were forced to continue digging the city foundations with hoes and shovels in hand. There are also White Lotus cultists who set up ladders on both sides of the explosion point and climb with their lives, with a posture of destroying this morning food.

This section is not a city gate, although because it is the siege site of the White Lotus Sect, some people have been placed to monitor, but the overall defense is not strong. After the explosion, Qin Delu, who was defending the city, hurriedly sent two hundred officers and soldiers of the right guard to arrive, which was already all the reserves in his hands. But even if 200 people arrived, it would not be able to stop the destruction of thousands of people under the city.

Immediately, Yan Hong rushed to the city wall with Ziqing Shuangxia, Liang Rufei, Sun Yuerong and more than 100 Jinyi guards. Look down at the White Lotus cultists below. Zhang Qingyan's face turned pale and said, "It's me who lost my mind." Ye Zhengfei hurriedly transferred the musket team. Aim at the next row of volleys in the city. The brocade guards also desperately poured the few remaining bows and arrows down the city. But that's it. None of them could stop the White Lotus Cultists' desperate attacks.

Under the collision again and again, under the ant-like excavation, the tall Jinan city wall finally shook and collapsed layer by layer, forming a gap more than four zhang wide. Although more than seven feet of rubble of masonry was still piled up in the gap, it could no longer stop the enemy's advance.

Immediately after, he saw thousands of White Lotus Sect disciples, carrying bags of sand and soil and throwing them in front of the gap, instantly forming a slope that could be easily climbed up the gap. Then the brigade of White Lotus disciples shouted. Rush into the gap.

Yan Hong's face also changed, and he pointed tightly: "Hurry up, hurry up, quickly plug the gap!" Ye Zhengfei gave an order, and the musket team released a row of guns into the gap, and immediately knocked down more than a dozen disciples who rushed to the front. But in the gap between the shots, a large number of disciples had already entered the gap and fought with the Ming army.

After more than ten days of attacking and defending the city wall, the battle between the two sides began for the first time on the land inside the city.

When I heard that the city wall had been breached, the city was in chaos. Zhang Qingyan is in danger. He had to instruct Qin Delu and said, "General Qin, you quickly order the officers and soldiers of the right guard at the four corners of the four gates and the people under you. Stick to your own post, don't let the White Lotus Demon break through the chaos! This is for the defense of the garrison in the city! ”

At this time, Wei Guoliang had already arrived with hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Fubiao Battalion, and Wei Guoliang was the first to shout: "The men of the Fubiao Battalion, serve the country with blood, and it will be today!" "With a long knife in hand, he entered the enemy formation first, and cut down two White Lotus Sect disciples in a row. The Fubiao battalion in the back rushed up. After all, this is the strongest officer and soldier in Jinan City, and they are in a team of three or five, and they come forward to intercept. The White Lotus Cultists who rushed in were no match for them, and they were killed and retreated, huddled together in the gap in the city wall.

followed by a strange laugh, but a large number of Shandong Green Forest people also rushed in through the gap. The first one was Zuo Shenlei's second master, named You Gui, who shouted in his mouth: "Break Jinan City, gold and silver women can get it casually!" Brothers, kill! ”

Yan Hong was furious, and Liu Lian said: "You command the Jinyi Guard, quickly step forward to intercept, Hugh calls these thieves rampant!" Liu Lian said: "Who will guard the chief?" Yan Hong said: "There are two heroines Xia Zhang, I don't have to be afraid here." Go quickly, if you don't kill these thieves, no one will survive! ”

At this time, Sun Lie also came with more than 200 people from the green forest, shouting: "I am Sun Lie of Flying Tiger Village!" It's all Shandong, how can you help the Mongolian Tartars kill their own people! ”

You Gui smiled cruelly: "Old Man Sun, you fell in love with the thick legs of Yan Song's family, but you didn't give the brothers a way to live, no wonder the brothers were rude!" Sons, opened Jinan Mansion, and did not seal the knife for three days! "Those bandits have already been diverted, and all that is left behind is the collusion between Tiexin and the White Lotus Sect. Besides, the current situation is that the White Lotus Sect has the upper hand, and at this time, Sun Lie's so-called name in the rivers and lakes will naturally not play much role.

So in the gap in the wall in the west of the city, the two sides fought fiercely. On the side of the officers and men, the number is smaller, but the individual combat effectiveness is stronger. Although the White Lotus Sect has many soldiers and horses, the combat effectiveness of the divine soldiers is very average. In addition, Liang Rufei quickly advanced and retreated to slash and kill the enemy, and there was a nearby Minzhuang team to respond, so the two sides fought on a par for a while.

After another moment, He Bingzhong, the general of the Beijing camp, led more than 100 Beijing soldiers to arrive, and the rest of the Fubiao battalion also came one after another, and the Ming army had the advantage again. Liang Rufei took advantage of the chaos to rush out, with a dart in his knife, and killed three or four leaders of the rebel bandits in a row, causing chaos in the bandits along the way. Although the number of White Lotus Sects on the periphery was large, they were limited to the gap, and they couldn't all rush in at once. Some of the teams tried to climb on both sides, but were blocked by the right guards of Jinan in the city, so they fell into a disadvantage.

Yan Hong stood only a hundred steps away from the gap, and in addition to the purple and blue twin hero guards, there were only a few brocade guards around him. The purple-clothed Chang'e held the hilt of the sword in her hand, her wonderful eyes widened, and she only looked at the place of the melee. Zhang Qingyan turned his eyes to Yan Hong from time to time. I saw Yan Hong's expression nervous, and his eyes only followed Sun Yuerong's figure left and right, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings. She said to Yan Hong: "Qincha, while the enemy army has not rushed in at this moment, hurry up and mobilize the people to plug the gap." Otherwise, this city will not be able to hold it! ”

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a horn outside the gap, the sound was thick and long, but it was full of strength, like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring. Zhang Qingyan's face changed: "It's not good, it's a tartar!" The Tartars are going to charge! ”

As soon as the words fell. Mongol soldiers wearing iron helmets emerged from the gap. Soon rushed down the pile of masonry. Join a warband. These Mongols were muscular, ferocious, wielding long knives as if they were armoured steppe wolves. Ordinary soldiers of the Fubiao Battalion and Jing soldiers, although they can also be called good hands in the Ming army, when they meet them, they are less than a few rounds, not killed. It's an injury.

The White Lotus Sect, who was originally at a disadvantage, was helped by this elite army and suddenly reversed the situation. The Mongols rushed in all the way, killing the Ming army and retreating. Under the onslaught of the Mongols, the Ming army's defensive line around the gap was loosened step by step, and more and more White Lotus disciples also took the opportunity to enter the city from outside the city.

At this time, on the pile of bricks and tiles in the gap of the city wall, a strong man on horseback appeared, who was the Mongolian commander Bala. He wears an iron helmet and heavy armor. Pointing to the city in the city, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, you have already lost." Or quickly drop your weapons and obediently serve us Mongol warriors as slaves. Otherwise, I will crush you all to death in chariots, and sell your women and children to the Western Regions!" With a wave of his whip, he swept away a cold arrow that had been shot at him from the top of the city.

Sun Yuerong was struggling to fight with several White Lotus Sect disciples, and when she heard the smug shout of this Mongolian thousand-master, she was furious and shouted, "The little master has split you!" With a slash of the Devil's Head Knife, he knocked down the current White Lotus Cultist, and then strode towards Bala. However, before he took two steps, he was stopped by several Mongolian soldiers. The combat power of these Mongolian soldiers was much higher than that of the White Lotus Cultists. Sun Yuerong is one against three, and she will no longer be able to take advantage.

Bala laughed strangely: "Wu Na Nan barbarian woman, seeing that you have long legs and big breasts, you are a child who can give birth, it is better to be a female slave with Uncle Bala, Uncle Bala spoils you well!" "Then take off the carved bow, and the ground is an arrow. The Mongols are skilled in riding and archery, and this Bala is a well-known warrior in the clan, and his bow and sword skills are better than his peers. Sun Yuerong was originally entangled by three Mongolian soldiers, and when she eagerly caught a glimpse of the feather arrow, when she hurriedly dodged, her left shoulder was early, and she couldn't help but snort softly.

Yan Hongzao saw that his eyes were bursting with fire, and he shouted: "Hurry up and save her!" "Stride over. The Purple and Green Twins have to move quickly to keep up. But seeing Liang Rufei rise and fall a few times earlier, he rushed to the middle of the battle group, waved his left hand twice, and the two Mongolian soldiers fell to the side. Liang Rufei stretched out his hand and pulled Sun Yuerong, and then retreated sharply to the back of the circle. Between this advance and retreat, the Mongolian soldiers on Bala's side fired several arrows in unison, but Liang Rufei's right arm was also bruised.

At this moment, the Mongols led the offensive of the White Lotus Cultists and the Green Forest rebels, and it became more and more fierce. The various units of the Ming army struggled to support it, but they had to retreat step by step. A group of Mongolian soldiers even killed Yan Hong. The two swords of the purple and green heroes came out together, attacking and defending synchronously, and in a short time, they killed several enemies in a row. However, the Mongolian soldiers were extremely brave and still wielded swords to kill, and Xia Zisu and Zhang Qingyan had to fight hard in order to protect Yan Hongquan.

And the entire front of the Ming army is also gradually collapsing. Once the defense line is completely torn apart, even if the combined forces of the White Lotus Sect and the Mongols completely control this gap in the city wall, there will be no suspense about the destruction of Jinan.

At the critical moment, he heard the sound of the urn and shouted angrily: "Brothers Minzhuang, Jinan is safe, in this move, kill quickly, and fight with the Tartars and demon thieves!" Brothers in the fourth and fifth battalions, build a barrier! Immediately after, it was at least tens of thousands of people shouting in unison, "Fight!" "It was Yun Chuqi who led a large group of people to rush over like a tide, swords and spears like a forest, and suddenly fought with the enemy again.

It's just that the individual combat effectiveness of the people is worse than that of the White Lotus Sect divine soldiers, let alone against the bandits in the Green Forest. As for in front of the Mongols, it is even less worth mentioning. Although relying on a bloody and brave spirit, he actually pushed the enemy back dozens of steps, but under the swords of the Mongols, there were also many people who shed blood and ambushed the corpses.

At this moment, the two armies were fighting behind the gap, and one moment you rushed over, and the other I ran over, killing and wounding countless men and horses. The clashing of weapons and shouts of killing were deafening, and the corpses on the ground were almost covered with corpses. If the White Lotus Sect wins this battle, then Jinan City will also be broken. Another three to four thousand strong people hurried to carry earth and stones, and built a barrier behind the gap in the city wall. For a while, the materials were not ready, so the house on the adjacent side was directly pulled down. However, looking at this momentum, how can it be so easy to repair the barriers?
