Sure enough, as Li Xingzhi expected, after Sun Degong was massacrated in Tongli Town, he immediately attacked and advanced eastward along the area of Mapengdian, and before that day, the whole army arrived in Liu Lizhuang Town.

When the people of Liu Lizhuang Town heard that Donglu had carried out a terrible massacre in Tongli, they had already fled for their lives from the town like frightened birds, only hundreds of old and weak people, because their homeland was difficult to move, coupled with old age and decrepitude, they thought that they were also half of their bodies about to enter the earth, Donglu thought that they should not embarrass themselves, and insisted on staying in the town.

However, the red-eyed Zhengbaiqi Han army didn't care whether they were old and weak, and after entering the town, they raised their butcher knives again.

The corpses of the people of Liu Lizhuang Town, who were lucky, were scattered in the streets and alleys of the town, and the smell of blood on the roads was disgusting.

As it was getting late, Sun Degong decided to rest the whole army in Liulizhuang Town for a day, and then reorganize the army to enter Gaoyang tomorrow.

Liu Lizhuang Town originally had a city wall, and the Qing army did not need to rebuild the camp, and the people in the town either fled or were killed, and they moved in casually, and Sun Degong naturally lived in Liujiawu Fort.

Due to the continuous battles, and yesterday's tossing under Xin'an City for a day and a night, Sun's braided soldiers were actually very tired, and after leaving the corresponding military horses to garrison the gates, the remaining Qing troops soon fell asleep.

The news of the Qing army's entry into Liulizhuang Town obviously could not be concealed from the sentinels of Lijiazhai, and after Li Xingzhi and Li Rui joined forces, they immediately took advantage of the night to rush directly to Liulizhuang Town.

The night is as cool as water, and the breeze is cool.

More than 400 soldiers of Lijiazhai soon arrived at a forest about a few miles away from the east of the town.

There was a lesson from the night attack by the Xin'an Ming army, and the Qing army obviously strengthened its defense this time, the walls of the town were lined with torches, and the mobile patrol posts were also constantly patrolling back and forth along the city walls.

The caution of the Qing army, this is what Li Xingzhi expected, after all, they had just been burned down by Lu Liangzhi yesterday, but Li Xingzhi's purpose tonight was just to harass the Dongyu and make them exhausted.

The tiger squat cannon is not heavy, only more than 400 catties, and the firing range is only about one mile, so it is very convenient to transport, Li Xingzhi's artillery team is deployed at the front end of the woods, almost one mile away from Liu Lizhuang Town.

Approaching the sub-time.

Li Xingzhi said to Li Rui: "Let's start!" ”

"Fire!" Li Rui waved his hand and gave the military order to attack.

The artillerymen, who had long been prepared, skillfully lit the fuse on the Tiger Squat cannon.

"Bang, bang, bang......!"

The six cannons spewed out a breathtaking fire at the same time, and the rumbling cannon sound was like thunder, and several iron bullets weighing about two catties mixed with a terrible whistling sound streaked across the sky, and then fell heavily on the city wall, and the fragments of masonry and stone on the city wall flew everywhere.

"Enemy attack, go and report to Lord Zhangjing!"

The pigtailed soldiers in charge of patrolling were shocked, they still remembered the attack on the camp by the Ming army last night, and now the sound of artillery from outside the city clearly told them that they had been attacked again.

"Where's the gun? Hurry up and pass on the order of the general of this chapter, and all the armies will be on alert immediately! ”

In Liujiawu Fort, Sun Degong and others, who were sleeping in clothes, were also awakened by the rumbling cannon, and they turned over and got up, hurriedly putting on their armor while giving orders in a hurry.

The pigtailed soldiers camping in the houses would have been awakened by the sound of the cannons as well, but they would have been at a loss due to the continuous march.

Lang Shaozhen, Wang Jin, Lu Guozhi and other generals also hurriedly rushed into their camp, and then shouted that they immediately went to the city to be on guard, because the cannon outside the city did not stop at all, and there would even be patrolling Han soldiers who were killed by the cannons on the wall.

"Hurry, hurry, light the torches, hurry up and light the torches, all armies are on alert to prevent the thieves from attacking at night!"

Sun Degong, who had finished his armor, waved his sword, rode his horse, and led a team of guards straight to the east gate of Liu Lizhuang Town.

Liu Lizhuang Town is not big, and the time for half a pillar of incense is less, and Sun Degong has already taken a group of guards to the city gate tower at the town gate.

However, something that made him depressed happened, the cannon outside the city stopped, and from the city gate tower, there was a darkness in the distance, if it were not for the dozens of broken bricks and wooden squares scattered on the city gate tower, and the Han army that was pierced through the chest by the cannon, and the dead could not die again, Sun Degong would not have believed that the party had been attacked.

Sun Degong frowned and said: "There are no less than five or six artillery pieces of the Ming thieves, I think it is the Ming thieves of Xin'an who are following and attacking our army at night, Lang Shaozhen, you go and inform the sons and daughters, let them camp on the city wall tonight, Lao Tzu wants to see who dares to touch our tiger whiskers." ”

"Wow! Minions take orders! ”

Lang Shaozhen hurriedly learned the etiquette of the Manchurians, gave Sun Degong a thousand, and turned his head to convey the military order.

Sun Degong's department has been in Liaodong for a long time, and these soldiers are all begging for a living on the tip of a knife, and it is not difficult to stay at the city wall.

Soon they lit fires on the walls, and then sat around them and dozed off.

Sun Degong did not dare to return to Liujiawu Fort, but took his son into the city gate tower to rest.

Because they were so sleepy, they had hardly slept since they had been burned down by the Xin'an garrison last night.

However, just after they fell asleep, the sound of artillery in the east of the town broke the silence of the night, and the rumbling cannon sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the Han army of Zhengbai Banner, who had just fallen asleep, turned over in shock, and then rushed to the battlement with a nervous face.

Sun Degong was obviously also annoyed by the sound of the cannon, and walked out of the city gate tower with a knife on his face with an angry face.

Sun Youguang, who followed closely, said hatefully: "Father, the boy will take the cavalry out to kill all these damn Southern Barbarians." ”

Wang Jin said: "My lord, in the night, we can't figure out the truth of the thief at all, if they have an ambush outside the town, then what can we do?" ”

Sun Youguang sneered: "When did the Ming thieves have the courage to fight with us in the field, according to the general's estimate, this group of Ming thieves must be the defenders of Xin'an, now it is just a bluff, we have six hundred cavalry, why are we afraid of the Ming thieves setting up ambushes." ”

Sun Degong also agreed with his son's opinion, if this gang of Ming thieves is not driven out, will the officers and soldiers of the already side have to rest, and how many Ming troops can there be in Xin'an? With the two Niu Lu cavalry under his hands, the Ming army has an ambush, so what is there to fear?

He immediately ordered: "Wu'er is commendable, this chapter Jing will help you with Lang Shaozhen, even if you can't destroy the Ming army, you must drive them out, otherwise we will not be able to sleep and eat." ”

Sun Youguang and Lang Shaozhen suddenly received the order, and hurriedly went down to the city with knives to order troops, preparing to attack the Ming army outside the town.
