Is this a siege?

For the first time, Li Zicheng really saw what siege warfare was.

He and his old eighth team were so beaten by artillery fire that they couldn't raise their heads.

By the time they reacted, the Ming army had already climbed the city wall.

They are like hungry wolves, devouring the lives of the city.

"Guys, get out of here!"

Li Zicheng realized that Jiazhou could not be defended, and decisively ordered a retreat to preserve the vital force.

The rebel soldiers followed him, retreated from Xicheng, and went straight to the mansion of the great boss.

At this time, I didn't get stuck in the mud and panicked.

He saw Li Zicheng running and hurriedly inquired about the situation.

Li Zicheng said: "Big brother, Jiazhou can't hold it." The officers and soldiers have landed in the city and are coming towards us, so run. ”

As soon as they heard that the official army was coming, the women behind them were so frightened that they were blank.

They were forced to commit themselves to the thieves.

Compared with the officials and the bandits, they are even inferior.

Thinking of his possible miserable situation, the women pulled him to the mud and begged him for help.

If it doesn't get dirty, it's shaking and it's about to fall apart.

Li Zicheng drew his sword: "You all be quiet!" ”

When the women saw the bloodstained Yan Ling knife, they took a few steps back.

"What are you doing, don't put the knife away." Don't stick to the mud and scolded.

Li Zicheng put away the knife angrily: "Big brother, decide quickly." ”

"Oh." Only then did he react, "I'll pack up my things, and let's go to the south gate together." ”

"Ahh Li Zicheng was speechless for a moment.

Don't worry about the mud, turn around and take the woman to pack up.

Li Zicheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

At this time, Li Guo ran in.

He was covered in blood: "Second uncle, things are not good." The officers and soldiers, led by the people, have already slaughtered here. ”

"What?" Li Zicheng didn't have time to ask in detail, and rushed directly into the inner courtyard.

didn't get muddy and wanted to scold, but was grabbed by Li Zicheng and pulled outside.

She was followed by a woman with a burden, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

"Big brother, I'm sorry."

Li Zicheng stuffed the mud into a carriage.

The women boarded the carriage one after another, squeezing the small carriage to the ground.

Li Zicheng hurriedly asked the old eighth team to give up their horses for them to ride.

"Second uncle!" Li Guo shouted.

"Don't say it, let's go." Li Zicheng didn't have time to explain.

A group of people rushed straight to the south gate in a mess.

After converging with the Zijin Liang and the remnants of the two-winged tiger, they rushed out from the south gate.

As soon as they left on the front foot, Wang Chengen arrived with the Ming army on the back foot.

Wang Chengen looked at the mud-free residence called "Dashuaifu" and couldn't help but be speechless.

In just a few months, Bu Muddy has built a sizable house for himself.

The only pity is that the level of non-mud culture is limited, and the mansions built have a hint of rustic atmosphere inside and out.

"Master, the cavalry who were ambushed at the south gate came to report, and they saw that they were not stained with mud and fled from the south gate with the thieves."

The family came in to report.

"Did the cavalry get any catches?"

Wang Chengen didn't care about the thieves fleeing south, he had expected it.

"No, the cavalry did not pursue." The family reported it.

"Why don't you chase it!" Wang Chengen was furious.

"He Renlong, who commanded the cavalry, said that he was ordered by the governor."

Jia Ding whispered.

Wang Chengen's sky-high anger was extinguished at once.

Not everyone can handle civil officials.

The cavalry lurking at the south gate spared the fleeing peasant army.

A group of frightened peasant troops, led by Li Zicheng and others, fled south to a place called Zhangjiayan.

It faces the Yellow River on one side and the mountains on the other, and is 60 miles away from Jiazhou.

Finding that there was no official pursuit, everyone fell to the ground and could no longer stand up.

"Humph! If we had run early, we wouldn't have done this. ”

The two-winged tiger was so angry that he chopped stones with his knife.

Bu Mu said depressedly: "How did I know that the enemy was so powerful, and he actually used artillery." When we get a foothold, let's have a few guns to play with. ”

The two-winged tiger looked disdainful.

In his opinion, if you don't get mud before, you don't have money to buy horses, and you won't build cannons in the future.

Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly.

Li Zicheng lay on the ground, listening to the ground with his ears, and his face changed greatly.

"Not good, there is a large force of cavalry in the north."

Li Zicheng shouted.

When everyone heard this, they were all panicked.

"There are so many cavalry, it shouldn't be that the officers and soldiers are chasing after them."

The voices that don't stick to the mud are trembling.

"Whoever it is, we have to withdraw." Li Ziguo said conclusively.

"Ah, we're almost exhausted."

Don't get stuck in the mud and said, "How to run!" ”

Li Zicheng looked at his eldest brother like this, and felt very uncomfortable.

Thinking of the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, he gritted his teeth: "Old Eighth Team, follow me to block the cavalry." ”

Li Guo and other members of the old eighth team struggled to get up.

They followed Li Zicheng, faced the source of the "earthquake", and walked over with their heads held high.

Li said: "Second uncle, we can't stop the cavalry." ”

"Who said we were blocking the cavalry."

Li Zicheng said: "We just need to contain the cavalry and give the eldest brother time to escape." ”

In the absence of support, it is completely impossible to block the cavalry by the flesh.

Li Zicheng is not so stupid.

He led the old eighth team through the forest, and when he saw the cavalry marching in the procession, he picked up a stone and threw the cavalry.

"Come here, you official dogs!"

"Your grandfather is here, and he has come to arrest us."

The peasant army shouted and shouted on the hill, attracting the attention of the officers and soldiers.

Li Bei saw it and said to Ma Ke: "You take the cavalry to pursue without mud, and I will take the infantry into the mountains to catch this group of thieves." ”

"A thief is cunning, and he must not be lured into the depths of the enemy." Marco reminded.

"Huh...... We just need to contain it. ”

Li Bei chuckled, waved his hand, and led the infantry out of the queue.

Seeing the infantry of the official army coming, Li Zicheng led the old eighth team to the mountains, led the Ming army deep into the mountains, and then waited for an opportunity to annihilate them.

However, he miscalculated.

Li Pei just restrained him, and was not in a hurry to march at all.

The army marched like a wall, step by step.

Instead, Li Zicheng was dragged in the mountains, unable to join forces with the mud.

On the way to escape, Bu Mu was pursued by the Marco cavalry and suffered heavy losses.

He kept fleeing south, and Marco kept chasing south.

In the blink of an eye, he fled to Fort Wu.

Wubao was originally a county town with tens of thousands of household registrations.

I didn't think I could replenish it here, but I found that there was no one in the city.

While he was wondering, a large number of officers and soldiers surrounded Wubao.

The one who commanded the siege was none other than Hong Chengchou.

Outside the city, the Chinese army tent.

Hong Chengchou sat upright on a chair and received the messenger who did not get muddy.

"Our leader said he was willing to surrender. He only asked the adults to give him a way to live, and the leader was willing to give up all his possessions. ”

The messenger who does not stick to the mud kneels on the ground, and behaves in good order.

"It's a must. He didn't surrender, the official killed him, and got the jewels anyway. ”

Hong Chengchou held his head high and didn't look at the envoy.

"What do you mean...... Your Excellency," the messenger asked with a shudder.

"Listen! There are two barbarians under his command, the Two-Winged Tiger and the Zijin Liang, and the official must see the heads of the two of them before he is allowed to surrender. ”

Hong Chengchou said sharply.
