After a month, in Yiyang County, Henan Prefecture, on the city wall, the armor was fierce, the officers and soldiers were waiting for it, and Tang Jitai, the county magistrate, was standing on the city gate tower in armor, looking into the distance with a solemn face, and a partial general next to him asked: "My lord, look at this posture, there are nearly 100,000 people in the chaotic army, can we hold it?" Moreover, most of the officers and soldiers of Henan Mansion have been transferred to Beijing to resist the Qing army, even if we light the wolf smoke now, and the nearby garrisons see it, they may not necessarily rescue us. ”

"Don't worry, once Governor Xiong Wencan receives the urgent news from our side, he will definitely send troops to support......"

However, before Tang Jitai could finish speaking, he was interrupted, and he was in the direction of Jinping Mountain, with a panicked look on his face, and exclaimed: "My lord, what do you see that thing is?" Kong Ming lantern? ”

At this moment, Tang Jitai was dumbfounded, and he didn't care about the panic of prejudice, so which is Kong Minglan? Huge suspended objects kept drifting towards Yiyang City, and the smoke was steaming, and there could be vague figures on it.

"It's not good, it's an enemy attack, quickly let the archers prepare, shoot it down, don't let it float over Yiyang City!"

Tang Jitai shouted, he already had a judgment in his heart, knowing that Yiyang City was not guaranteed, and the partial general also reacted, and said anxiously: "My lord, we don't have a magic crossbow, all of them are ordinary bows and arrows, those things are suspended so high, and the archers are also powerless~!" ”

Dense hot air balloons floated in, dozens of them, slowly approaching the west gate of Yiyang City, and finally suspended in the air.

When the guards of the city were in chaos, suddenly, many bottles and cans fell on the hot air balloon, dense like rain, countless.

Bang bang bang....

The bottle and jar were broken, and then the aroma of wine overflowed, covering the entire west gate of Yiyang City.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Bing fired ten thousand arrows from the rebel army outside the west gate of Yiyang City, the arrows were emitting fire, mixed with black smoke, and shot on the city wall.

Without rolling logs and stones, no oncoming rain of arrows, and no powerful red-coated cannons, the rebels rushed to the city wall without any scruples, erected a ladder, and left no longer in any way, just waiting for the fire to be gone.

At the same time, the hot air balloon has floated to the sky above the inner city of Yiyang City, slowly lowering the height, and a thick rope hangs down, followed by a famous Li Jiajun, who moves very neatly and smoothly, landing on top of the house, wearing a bow and arrow, holding a big knife or a long sword, meeting one after another, and going straight to the west gate.

All this came so suddenly, happened so briefly, almost did not give the city defense battalion time to react, when they reacted, when they acted quickly, a large number of Li family troops had gathered in the city, there were hundreds of people, and they killed the West Gate together!

Boom boom...

In the midst of the sound of fighting, the city gate was slowly opened, making a dull sound, the fire on the city wall had long been annihilated, and countless Li family troops rushed to the city head, completely controlling it in their hands.

Li Zicheng rode a horse and slowly walked towards Yiyang City, his brows were slightly furrowed, but his expression was not very good, Lu Shiyi on the side explained: "Boss, in these days, we have been in Tongguan, Ruxiang, Shaanzhou, Lingbao, Lushi, Chongyang, Gaomen Pass and other places, almost all of them rely on the inner should open the city gate, most of the state capitals and counties in Henan Prefecture have almost got this news, and the officials and generals guarding the city have made countermeasures, strengthening the vigilance of the city gate, increasing the patrol force on the street, and the personnel in Yiyang City have almost no chance to make a move. ”

"According to you, our next action will be more difficult, and Neiying will hardly be able to play a role?" Li Zicheng asked lightly, and then said: "The fierce fire oil that Mr. Song got from Sichuan has been almost consumed, and the hot air balloon will not be used a few times." ”

"Boss, it's not quite, as long as Yongning is taken, the forty-eight villages of Bears Ears Mountain can be easily conquered, and when the time comes, all the obstacles around Luoyang can be cleared." After Lu Shiyi responded, he calmed down, and then added: "Due to the close proximity to the Bishan base area, places like Yanshi, Xin'an, and Baofeng, we have much more internal personnel, as long as the army presses the border, the internal personnel can independently seize control of one of the city gates, and accept us in." ”

"Moreover, in the past two years, the Bishan base area has also used various methods to allocate firearms to the internal personnel, as long as the firearms are displayed, a large number of officers and soldiers guarding the gate can be eliminated in an instant, and they will be blinded, so as to seize control of the city gate."

"Well, that's good."

Li Zicheng replied lightly, showing a look of satisfaction, nodded slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then said: "Pass my order and inform all the internal personnel that their task is no longer simply to respond to the siege of the city, as well as to assassinate the guards and officials in the city." ”

"Yes, Boss!" Lu Shiyi responded, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but praise: "In this way, assassinating those officials and generals who defend the city, the city is self-defeating, and it is better than storming the city gate, which greatly reduces our casualties." ”

At this time, Li Zicheng turned around, looked at Gu Junen, and said solemnly: "We must do a good job of propaganda, everywhere, before attacking the city, we must tell the people in the city that we will only kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, not the people." In this case, we will encounter much less resistance. ”

A few days later, Yongning County was broken, in the huge open space of the west pass of the city, a large number of people gathered, more than 100 people were tied in the center of the field, kneeling there, there were both the officials of the imperial court, Wu Tailie, and more than 100 local squires, as well as Zhu Cai, the king of Wan'an.

At this moment, in front of all the people, a public trial is underway, and these magnates in the court, with the accusation of a famous person, the body of the squire and magnates kneeling there trembled, and his face turned to ashes.

In this huge public trial, there was not only the joy of getting revenge, but also the whimper of revenge, and the excitement of seeing the hope of future life, the onlookers looked solemn, especially Li Zicheng walked slowly and came to the sentencing platform, and the surroundings instantly quieted down.

"Prepare for execution, and behead these tumors in the township!"

Click...

The head moved, the head rolled to the ground, blood sprayed in the air, and Li Zicheng's voice echoed around again, resounding in everyone's ears.

"Folks, those notices in the city are clearly written, but if you don't get the money, grain and land, if you are greedy, please go directly to the yamen set up by our Li Jiajun to complain, within ten days, there is no reply, you can go directly to Li Jiajun's station to respond. When the time comes, once it is found out who is making trouble, no matter what his position is in Li Jiajun, he will be cut to the people and punished twice! ”

As soon as the words fell, the people kept shouting at the same time.

"Facing the King... No food... Rise to the king... No food... Rise to the king... No food..."
