Zhuang Zigu threw out his meteor hammer!

A meteor hammer with a chain as long as a hammer!

The Meteor Hammer also has a spear tip on the top, which not only has a violent impact effect when hitting an enemy, but also has a stabbing effect!

But Zhuang Zigu this time was just to shoot the javelin of the Flying Dragon Thirteen!

"Ding ......."

Unsurprisingly, Dragon Thirteen's javelin was knocked flying by the Meteor Hammer!

Since the javelin is too light and the meteor hammer is too heavy, the meteor hammer continues to fly towards Dragon Thirteen after hitting the flying javelin!

"Boom ......"

Between the lightning and flint, Dragon Thirteen does not retreat but advances!

The horse lance in his right hand was handed out, and the meteor hammer was entangled, and in an instant, the meteor hammer was wrapped around the lance rod and spun around!

However, at this time, his left hand was not idle, and a javelin was thrown out like lightning!

At this time, Zhuang Zigu had to use an iron gun to block!

The two of them staggered!

According to the previous plot, Long Thirteen will not pay attention to Zhuang Zigu, but continue to move forward, but Zhuang Zigu can use a meteor hammer and an iron spear to shoot his two javelins one after another between the rabbit and the falcon, showing a strong cavalry combat ability, if such a person is not dealt with by himself, then his subordinates will have a large number of casualties!

He twisted the horse's head, and as expected, Zhuang Zigu also turned around, after the battle just now, he finally realized that the thief army in front of him was really extraordinary, especially this person just now, he was able to not retreat at all under the blow of his two long weapons!

However, when he turned around, he saw a shameful scene.

I saw that the man had already carried the horse lance behind his back, and there was an extra horse in his hand!

"Bang ......"

As a person from later generations, Long Thirteen did not have the slightest martial arts plot in his heart, killing and injuring the enemy in a short time is the royal way, although Zhuang Zigu is a person he admires in later generations, but it is far from reaching the point where he pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade on the battlefield, no matter who he is, as long as he is in front of him, he will be killed!

Just a foot away, a newly built riding spear, the one of Long Thirteen was rifled by him himself!

A gun hit the head of Zhuang Zigu's war horse, and at this time, Zhuang Zigu's one-long meteor hammer happened to be thrown out again, but with the sudden fall of the war horse, he also fell to the ground!

This time, Long Thirteen didn't pay attention to him, but continued to kill all sides!

......

With the arrival of Dragon Thirteen, the battle in Mingjiang Town was soon over.

This time, Long 13 dispatched 1,700 cavalry here, cavalry of this scale, not to mention thieves, even the official army did not have a single general soldier who could take it out, plus He Jin and Liu Xiyao's cavalry joined the battle group, the three divisions of the official army that had long been out of formation collapsed in an instant.

The rest of the time was a full field of pursuit, and Long Thirteen didn't bother to do this, but rode his horse to a dirt bag and watched the battle unfold.

......

Zhaocheng County.

After the Fen River flows out from the eastern foot of Guji Mountain and the western foot of Taiyue Mountain, it is the serious Jinnan Plain before that, and Zhaocheng County is stuck between the Fen River and the remaining veins of Taiyue Mountain, and the first-class post road of Daming (the post road leading to the capital of the provincial capital) also has to pass through the county seat, although it can also be detoured, but it is surrounded by hills and streams, and it will be ambushed if you are not careful.

Therefore, if the army wants to go south, the nail of Zhaocheng County must be pulled out.

However, Zuo Liangyu is the deputy general of Changping, and his men and horses are the most in the encirclement and suppression of all the departments of the official army, reaching as many as 3,000 paces, he let Li Guoying take away a thousand paces, and there are nearly 2,000 by his side!

What's more, after the Fen River arrived here, it was dug an aqueduct on the east bank to form a moat, which surrounded the county town of Zhaocheng, causing Zhaocheng County to seem to be on a core island.

If it was the troubled times of the Great Schism, this moat was obviously wide and deep, but now it is in the Ming Dynasty, deep in the interior, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty when the bureaucratic system had long been decayed, the moat had long been in disrepair, and it still looked very wide, but in fact, the river was less than half a meter, and it was very silted.

That's it, with the current regulations of the Dragon Thirteen Little Brigade, there is no difference between ravines and baiters, and it is impossible to bury it with human lives.

In this way, the county seat of Zhaocheng actually became a city that was almost impossible to capture, and the more than 100,000 men and horses of Long 13 could only go south from the valley between the remaining veins of Taiyue Mountain and Huo Mountain in the east.

In this way, the enemy can be calmly deployed in a targeted manner, and the risk of small and strong brigades will increase exponentially.

Dragon Thirteen is obviously not going to stop there.

As mentioned earlier, the county seat of Zhaocheng is actually on an island in the middle of the river, the north and south gates are connected by suspension bridges, and the same is true for the east gate, only the west gate facing the Fen River is different!

It's a water gate!

At this time, the Fen River, starting from Taiyuan City, can be navigated all the way to the Yellow River when the water is abundant!

Materials from Sichuan and Guanzhong can be transported all the way to Taiyuan City through this waterway! Then we will arrive in the capital by land!

In later generations, due to the rapid increase in population and serious water diversion and irrigation, the navigation of the Fen River began to decline, but at present, the Fen River is still a river that can pass through boats!

At this time, due to the war, the four gates of Zhaocheng County have been closed, and the floodgates of the Water Gate have also fallen.

However, there are no absolutes. qδ.o

Just as the battle in Mingjiang Town in the east began, a large group of boats drove from the upper reaches of the Fen River.

Since Lingshi County and Huozhou in the upper reaches are in the hands of Xiaoqiang Brigade, the owners of these ships do not know themselves.

"Boom ......"

There was an alarm at the west gate.

Then a ship about three zhang long, about one zhang wide, and about one zhang high, without sails, and no sailors could be seen on the surface, ghostly sailed into the water gate!

At this time, the Daming Water Gate is an iron fence, and it is the only place where there is no jack gate, because if you want to destroy this gate, you must first have the opportunity to swim into the water gate.

The iron fence is composed of ten horizontal and ten vertical iron fences, each of which has a thickness of one inch, and the holes formed between each four iron fences cannot even be passed by children.

Such an iron fence is naturally extremely heavy, and it also requires a winch to raise and lower, and the ends of the iron fence are stuck in the stone cracks, and it is almost impossible to break it.

Due to the tense war, Zuo Liangyu let all the ships sail into the dock in the city and anchor in the past few days.

"What's the use of such a ship coming in?"

All the people on the city wall of the West Gate think so, including Zuo Liangyu, who has already arrived here, right now, in addition to him, there are also his generals Wang Yuncheng and Hao Xiaozhong, these people are all from Liaodong, and naturally they know the power of the Water Gate, and they can't help but ask questions when they see the ship coming in.

That Hao Xiaozhong was known for his cunning, and after reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he smiled and said, "Dashuai, does the thief want to follow the example of Wang Rui in the late Three Kingdoms period and burn the iron fence with a fireboat like burning the iron chain?"

Wang Yuncheng also smiled: "Most of the iron fence is underwater, only about a foot is exposed, even if it is burned, what is the use, do they want to swim through that one foot of gap?"

Zuo Liangyu also smiled and said, "We have arranged a large number of archers on the dock, even if they can swim over, since they are still on the water, wouldn't they be living targets?"

After a while, I could only hear the water gate, and there was a muffled sound at the water gate, as if the ship was stuck at the water gate.

Hao Xiaozhong continued: "The thieves obviously set the oars in the bottom compartment and entered the water gate by paddling, but unfortunately, even if they could enter the water gate, I really can't think of how they could break the iron fence!"

As he was talking, Wang Yuncheng suddenly shouted, "Wait and see!"

Zuo Liangyu and the others looked at his fingers, only to see reed pipes coming out of the water gate, a total of six, as if they could move, moving towards the confluence of the waterway of the water gate and the Fen River.

"Archery!"

Zuo Liangyu suddenly thought of something, and immediately gave an order.

"Xiuxiu ......"

A rain of arrows shot at those positive

In the middle of the moving reed pipe, a man surfaced, with an arrow stuck in his back, and the river near him began to slowly turn red.

"I see"

Na Hao Xiaozhong continued: "The thief used a reed tube to insert it into his nostrils to breathe, and then lurked in the water to swim, but unfortunately once the arrow was submerged in the water, he would have been unable to breathe, otherwise he would have shot them all to death!"

A large number of arrows killed one person, and then the rest of the people quickly swam to the boats on the Fen River, and after receiving them, the boats began to sail downstream.

"Why is that? Did they just send a boat for me to see......

"Boom ......"

Just when Zuo Liangyu and the others were puzzled, there was an earth-shattering roar from the water gate!

This roar is familiar with firearms, including Zuo Liangyu, has never been heard, in Liaodong, thousands of pounds of Hongyi cannons are not uncommon, the roar produced when it is fired is already discolored, but compared to this loud sound, it is dwarfed.

Let alone......

After this loud sound that seemed to shake the ground and the mountains was released, the entire West Gate city wall and city gate tower collapsed!

All the generals who were watching from the city gate tower, including Zuo Liangyu, were buried in the rubble!

At this point, the fool guessed that the ship must have been loaded with a large amount of gunpowder.

Yes, this is the only magic weapon that Long Thirteen uses to deal with Zhaocheng County.

A thousand catties of good black powder were all loaded on that ship, and when it was stuck in the narrow water gate, although it was black powder, the power generated by its explosion was still enough to completely blow up a section of the city wall!

At that moment, the boats turned around again and re-entered the Pratunam River!

In the violent explosion just now, not only did Zuo Liangyu, Wang Yuncheng, Hao Xiaozhong and other army generals all be killed, but the flying stones and bricks also knocked down a large number of archers near the Watergate Pier!

The huge amount of stones, bricks, and earth that fell down instantly covered the waterway and formed two gentle slopes on both sides of the water gate!

A large number of small and strong infantry troops disembarked from the ships, and they stepped up the gentle slope of the city wall with tiger cannons, muskets, and spears!

At this time, the Ming soldiers who were not killed by the bombing were still in a dizziness and were easily captured by the Xiaoqiang Brigade.

And when the Ming troops from other places rushed over, as soon as Li Zhanchun, the commander of this battle, put out the bodies of Zuo Liangyu, Wang Yuncheng and others who had been dug up, these people abandoned their weapons and surrendered without saying a word.

Li Zhanchun occupies Zhaocheng County!
