It can only be said that the timing of the rebels discovering Liu Zeqing's army entering the city at that time was too coincidental or too unfortunate.

At that time, Kong Youde and Li Yingyuan led the rebels to resist the Ming army's siege in the west and north of Dengzhou City, while Geng Jingzhong led the rout army to retreat to Shuicheng in the east of Dengzhou City to prepare to board the ship.

At this time, the rout of the rebels also basically gathered here in the water city in the east, and entered the water city one after another. And because the people in Dengzhou City were basically killed by the rebels, the center of Dengzhou City became an empty city at this time. And the rebels who saw the Ming army entering the city were the soldiers at the tail of the rout army who retreated to Shuicheng.

So on the one hand, the rebels discovered Liu Zeqing's army relatively late; On the other hand, the rebels didn't know exactly how many Ming troops had entered the city, nor did they know how they had entered the city, so after a burst of shouting, the rebels in the city were suddenly in chaos.

All the rebels didn't even think about gathering their troops to retake Nancheng, they all wanted to withdraw to and hold Shuicheng as soon as possible, board the ship as soon as possible, and leave this damn Dengzhou City.

And knowing that the rebels had discovered their own entry into the city, and the Liu Zeqing troops who had entered the city were no longer hidden, they publicly displayed their banners, and shouted at the same time: "We have attacked Dengzhou City!" Kill all these traitors! ”

And Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, who were in command in the rear, were still frowning and nervously waiting for Dengzhou City to be breached. But at this moment, there was a loud commotion in Dengzhou City, which made the two coaches unable to figure out the situation in the city for a while.

At this moment, the spy Pegasus, who was observing near the southern city of Dengzhou City on the front line, arrived, and before he could wait for the horse to stop, he jumped off his horse and knelt down and said, "Two adults, you have already attacked Dengzhou City!" It's already in the southern city of Dengzhou! ”

On the battlefield. The kind of spies who act as the eyes and ears of the coach are all cronies around the coach. And this spy is Zhu Dadian's family. So there was some crying in his voice, this spy knew that it was not possible to besiege Dengzhou City for a long time, and the pressure on his master Zhu Dadian was quite great now, and now that he had broken through the city, he would have made a great contribution. And as a master and servant, the entire Zhu family will receive great glory and benefits.

"Zhu Neng, you have been with me for so long, and you are still so breathless, this city will be broken sooner or later, what's so strange?" Zhu Dadian opened his mouth and reprimanded. But he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Dadian asked again, "Which general's troops attacked the city first?" ”

The family named Zhu Neng was not affected by Zhu Dadian's reprimand at all, he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Look at the banner is General Liu's troops!" ”

Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian both glanced at each other in surprise, but they all reacted immediately, and Zhu Dadian immediately arranged: "Okay!" Asked Liu Shen to defend the southern city. If Dengzhou is broken today, it will be the first credit to protect it. In addition, it was rumored that the general soldiers of Qiu and the general soldiers of Jin were also transmitted. Ordered it to intensify its siege. Make no mistake! ”

After issuing the order, Zhu Dadian glanced at Gao Qiqian and asked him if he had anything to add. Gao Qiqian was also excited, and he also shouted in a sharp voice: "Also tell General Liu that if Dengzhou City is captured today, the miscellaneous family will protect him as a general soldier." The other generals will not be killed if they are not killed. Don't look at the old miscellaneous family who was easy to talk to, today he will definitely want his head. Tell all the people again, the governor and the miscellaneous family will not take anything from the city. and all the sons and daughters who invaded the city! ”

Gao Qiqian has been a military supervisor for a long time, and he has a lot of experience in inspiring and motivating the army, so his remarks are also to the point.

For Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, although they didn't treat Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing as military attachés of the coalition army, they were also the commanders of the entire Ming army first. Therefore, no matter which Ming army attacked Dengzhou City first, the two of them would always be unable to run away, so at this time, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian did not have any prejudice.

At this time, Kong Youde happened to repel an attack by Qiu Lei, and when he heard the shouts in the city, "The official army has entered the city!" Later, at first he thought that the northern city was broken by the Liaodong army. It wasn't until the rebels who inquired about the news told that it was Nancheng that attacked the official army, that Kong Youde understood that the Ming army was going to play with two wings today!

So, Kong Youde immediately grabbed a rebel military attache beside him and asked him to lead 200 soldiers to Nancheng to intercept him. As soon as the rebel military attache left, Kong Youde ordered his own captain: "Throw down all the things on the city wall, and we will immediately retreat to the water city." ”

After hearing the order, the rebel soldiers in front of the West City seemed to be crazy, and set fire to the swarm of bees and 10,000 enemies on the city wall, and threw them off the city wall. At the foot of the Xicheng city wall, there was suddenly smoke, flames, and rockets flying wildly. Although the Ming army had already evacuated the city wall at this time, the casualties were not large, but seeing the situation at the foot of the west city, in a moment or three, no Ming soldiers dared to approach the west city wall again.

At this time, the rebel military attache who went to intercept the reinforcements of Nancheng also retreated. They were reinforced along the southern wall. However, as soon as he turned to the southern city wall, he was shot by a burst of small cannons and firearms from the Ming army and the rebels anyway, killing and wounding more than 20 reinforcements of the rebels at once. As soon as he saw that the situation was not good, the rebel military attache immediately turned and fled.

As soon as he saw Kong Youde, the military attache shouted loudly: "Marshal Kong, more than 1,000 officers and troops have entered the city, we can't stop it, let's withdraw quickly, otherwise we will be cut off, and we will all have to explain here!" ”

Kong Youde scolded in his heart. He not only secretly scolded the war for not going well, but also secretly scolded the rebel military attache in front of him for not knowing each other. Why do you make such a loud statement? Are you afraid that other rebel soldiers will not hear it? Isn't this disturbing the morale of the military? If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Kong Youde would have wanted to pull out a knife and cut this guy on the spot.

But it's useless to get angry now. Kong Youde forcibly suppressed his anger and shouted: "Retreat to Shuicheng in an orderly manner, who dares to mess up, my old Kong's knife doesn't know him!" ”

But who will obey Kong Youde's orders at this time? The rebel soldiers scrambled down the wall, and some of them jumped off the wall in a panic like headless flies, and their result must have been tragic anyway.

Kong Youde couldn't care about the others, he got off the city wall and rode on his horse, and galloped towards the water city first. And Geng Jingzhong was still righteous, and he also sent a team of family members to come over to respond. Fortunately, the Ming army that attacked the southern city did not stop it at first, so most of the rebels on the western city fled back to Shuicheng.

And Li Yingyuan's Beicheng is bitter. When they heard the shouting, they happened to be under siege by a wave of Liaodong troops. Of course, the Liaodong army outside the city also heard that the Ming army broke Dengzhou City, so those Liaodong troops were like a chicken blood needle, entangled the rebels who stayed in Beicheng, and attacked Beicheng without stopping.

At this time, Li Yingyuan was sweating. When the two armies were fighting, Li Yingyuan's rebels could not retreat, otherwise, they would collapse immediately. Although the rebels on the north city wall all seemed to have erupted in a small universe, withstanding the fierce attacks of the Liaodong Army one after another, their resistance was also to the limit.

And Liu Zeqing's army, which attacked Nancheng, also surprisingly remained calm. The number of ladders is limited, so the speed of climbing into the walls through the ladders is not fast.

And these Ming troops who entered the city were divided into two. One team will open the city gate, and the other will take care of the rebels who are Huang Qiqi anyway, or these rebels will be anyway in the future, which is a bit big.

At this time, Chen Zhongzhi led more than 200 Ming troops to climb the city wall, and when he saw that the rebels in Xicheng were retreating in the direction of Shuicheng under the leadership of Kong Youde, he asked Huang Qiqi and Song to divide some rebels anyway to block the retreating rebels together.

However, Huang Qiqi and Song General were tactful and resolutely rejected Chen Zhongzhi's order. Weishenme, is that? Because Huang Qiqi and Song Jiang are always afraid!

At this time, there was no Red Cross Society in the Ming Dynasty, and the disposition of the defeated side depended entirely on the mood of the victorious side. And the military attache of the Ming Dynasty is notorious, and he has done all the things that kill the good and take the merits, and borrow a few rebel heads to add some military merits, which is not a trivial matter!

Besides, there are more than 700 rebels anyway, and this number is too large to be able to sell for a good price. So how could Huang Qiqi and Song General divide their troops to intercept Kong Youde's rebels? If you want them to defend the southern city, if you want them to take the initiative to attack and fight hard, then you have to think about it.

At this time, the only military attache of the Ming Army who could make Huang Qiqi and Song General trust was Wu Shigong, at least Wu Shigong asked for so many benefits, so he should also help. So there is a ridiculous phenomenon, Wu Shigong's performance as a black-hearted profiteer has made him a moral saint in the hearts of the rebels anyway.

Of course, Chen Zhongzhi didn't dare to push too hard, but watching Kong Youde's rebels flee, he was also so anxious that he jumped on his feet. There was no way, so he immediately contacted Wu Shigong to enter the city to negotiate with Huang Qiqi and Song Zong. But Wu Shigong, who received the news from the front, how could he enter the city at this time?

Unless the southern gate is opened, and the Ming army has taken control of the southern city, Wu Shigong will enter the city. Besides, Wu Shigong also discussed with Liu Zeqing early in the morning, it is absolutely impossible for them to eat the entire Dengzhou City by themselves, so it is better to control Nancheng honestly. As for the fleeing rebels, there are other Ming troops anyway. Let them wear out their strength. Anyway, the first credit for breaking Dengzhou City today is always Liu Zeqing's!
