Li Wenzhong didn't listen to Lan Yu's words, and after calming down, the painting halberd attacked again.

Li Wenzhong's martial arts are not as good as Lan Yu, and now he has lost his move, and he has no sharpness. Although the attack again is as hard as a child, there is no need to be afraid.

Lan Yu respects Li Wenzhong's ability, and although he is now in a different position, he is still unwilling to take his life.

Li Wenzhong scolded: "You shameless boy, turning your back on the Lord and joining the enemy, you are turning your back on the Lord and surrendering to the enemy, where are there so many high-sounding reasons!" ”

Lan Yu parried Li Wenzhong's attack, and then said while fighting: "Is it grandiose? General Li said that I had turned my back on the Lord and defected to the enemy. Which lord do I carry and which enemy do I vote for? ”

Hearing this, Li Wenzhong couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

After all, Zhang Wuji is now today, which is recognized by everyone in the world. Now that Lan Yu is obeying orders under the control of the Son of Heaven, where can it be regarded as "surrendering to the enemy"? If it is said that he betrayed the master, Zhu Yuanzhang followed Guo Zixing's father and son to swear in Butterfly Valley that day, and voluntarily respected Zhang Wuji as the "King of Ming", the co-lord of the world. Guo Zixing and his son are still the original Mingjiao members. Zhu Yuanzhang is also subordinate to the Ming Sect, and if you want to count it now, it is Zhu Yuanzhang who is the master, not Lan Yu.

Lan Yu saw that Li Wenzhong was at a loss of words, and his momentum weakened a lot.

Lan Yu continued: "My brother-in-law and I followed Guo Dashuai back then, Guo Shaoshuai. Guo Dashuai's father and son belonged to Mingjiao and were loyal to Mingzun during his lifetime. My brother-in-law and I are naturally the children of Mingjiao. The children of Mingjiao naturally respect Mingzun as the master. Now I'm just back under the banner of Mingzun, where can I be considered a betrayer? I think it's a betrayal to stay with you! ”

"You!" Although Li Wenzhong was angry, he really didn't know what to say at the moment.

Lan Yu continued to mend the knife and said: "Speaking of betraying the Lord and defecting to the enemy, I think he Zhu Yuanzhang is." Back then, he was just a begging monk, Guo Dashuai took him in and accepted him as his righteous son, and even married his righteous daughter to him. He was given the name 'Yuanzhang'. If it weren't for Guo Dashuai's support, how could he Zhu Chongba have today's rippling territory and hegemony? ”

"But how did Zhu Chongba repay Guo Dashuai? At that time, the young marshal and us were besieged by the Yuan army led by Tokhtar in Heishiji. I covered my brothers many times to break through and go to Jinling City for help. But he always stood still, so that the young marshal died in the battle, and he pretended to come to rescue the remaining brothers. ”

"If you say that you turn your back on the enemy and join the enemy, he Zhu Chongba is the first. Guo Dashuai was not kind to him during his lifetime, but in order to seize power, he killed Guo Dashuai's only son. And those brothers who fought with us in a bloody battle were also ambushed by the Yuan army because of his own selfishness, and died on the battlefield. ”

Lan Yu said with a slight complaint at this point: "Hmph! That is, the brother-in-law's head is a little elm. just let go of the monstrous wealth at your fingertips, and be loyal to such wolf ambitions. Relying solely on the righteous relationship between the brother-in-law and His Majesty, even if he can't tear the soil and seal the territory to ask for a prince, he can also seal the lintel of the glorious gate. ”

Hearing what happened to Guo Tianxu, Li Wenzhong had no momentum, and even felt a little weak-hearted.

If it is said that the only thing they have done against their will in their lives is to indirectly kill Guo Tianxu.

Although Li Wenzhong is a relative of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is the core figure of Zhu Yuanzhang's Huaixi small group. However, the Huaixi faction was favored by Guo Zixing's father and son before.

When Zhu Yuanzhang didn't move before, they all knew it and pretended to be confused. But Li Wenzhong and Xu Da, these affectionate generals, are still a little unbearable.

Hearing that Guo Tianxu's matter was told on the spot, Li Wenzhong's fighting spirit was completely lost.

After parrying with Lan Yu for a few moves, he rode back.

Seeing the general's flag retreat, the soldiers of the Wu army suddenly lost their will to fight, and they all followed the banner and abandoned their armor and retreated to the rear.

And Lan Yu didn't take advantage of the victory to cover up the past.

Because Lan Yu knew that there was no point in killing these routs, and the immediate priority was to destroy the siege engines that might threaten the city.

As long as there are no these siege equipment, no matter how many people on the other side are, they will not be able to capture the tall and strong city of Suzhou. Moreover, as long as they insist on holding on for a few months, and wait for the reinforcements of Liu Dashuai in the Central Plains to arrive, then the form will be reversed immediately.

Seeing that Li Wenzhong had retreated, Lan Yu also immediately gathered his troops, and then with a wave of the overlord gun in his hand, he rushed towards the camp where the Wu army had placed siege equipment.

The main general was defeated, the morale of Li Wenzhong's troops was low, and the infantry had a natural fear of cavalry, and Lan Yu was invincible again. It didn't take long for the infantry guarding the siege equipment to be scattered.

Without the support of the infantry units, the men and soldiers who used these equipment could not put bayonets on the "cannons", and when they saw the rushing cavalry, they immediately fled.

Seeing everyone fleeing, Lan Yu did not like to fight, and immediately ordered the cavalry under his command to destroy these siege equipment quickly, and everyone took the leather bags they were carrying immediately.

Those leather bags were originally used by the cavalry to hold water and wine, but in order to destroy the siege equipment outside the city, Zhao Min Ming purchased burning tung oil in the city and poured it into these skins.

The cavalry was blessed with the speed of their horses, and their speed was very fast, so they sprinkled the tung oil on the siege equipment in three or two strokes. Then he threw down the fire fold he was carrying.

When tung oil encountered fire, it was ignited instantly, and then the black smoke of the fire consumed these siege equipment in an instant.

After retreating from defeat and preparing to regroup, Li Wenzhong saw Lan Yu burn the siege equipment in front of his formation, clenched his fists, and shouted "It's over" in his heart.

is also a top general, Li Wenzhong also knows the role of these siege equipment in this battle. Now that these siege equipment have been burned, even if they can take Suzhou City, I am afraid that they will have to come back with huge casualties. Moreover, without the help of these instruments, it would be impossible for them to take Suzhou City, which was personally controlled by Mingzun, in a short period of time.

What they lack most now is time. Because not all wood is suitable for battering equipment. If you have to rebuild a device after it has been burned, it will be very time-consuming, laborious and costly.

Money and strength are nothing, they really don't have much time.

Before coming, Zhu Yuanzhang also got a tip.

That is, the two main forces of the Ming army in the Central Plains have also turned back to the south non-stop and came to rescue Zhang Wuji, who was trapped in Suzhou City.

Moreover, Li Siqi personally led the elite cavalry troops under his command, and arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River ahead of the infantry troops to meet Zhang Dingbian and Zhao Pusheng.

If it weren't for the fact that the cavalry was not good at attacking fortifications and couldn't break through the fortifications near Jinling City, I am afraid that they would have already handed over to the troops under Zhu Yuanzhang.

And the main force of the Ming army led by Liu Futong has been returning for nearly a month at the slowest time, if the main forces of the Ming army in the west and the west are all reinforced, then it will no longer be Mingzun who will be swallowed by the whale, but them.

If they didn't take Suzhou City in half a month, go north in time to help, and consolidate the Yangtze River, then they could only wash their necks and wait for Zhang Wuji to come and kill.
