(The range of the wooden cannon is less than 100 meters, and the shotgun can only hit 40 or 50 meters, which is very clear in water battles.) The first two chapters are confused, and the range of the wooden cannon is written as several hundred meters. ）

Yang Hua, the thousands of elites, came by pushing the wooden girl wall.

The wooden female wall belongs to the siege equipment, and the soldiers hide behind it near the city wall, which can be understood as a kind of "chariot" in disguise.

Seeing the wooden wall of the Chu army, the wooden cannon no longer used shotguns, but fist-sized stone bullets.

After a round of shelling, a large number of wooden female walls were cracked, or even directly shattered - Zhong Xiang's territory resources were not enough, and there were not so many cowhides, so they could only use sheepskins instead.

There is also a car formation composed of vans in front, and behind the car formation are Ming soldiers.

After the front army suffered a second round of shelling, Yang Hua decisively withdrew his troops and led his own troops to cover the retreat of the front army.

The former army commander will be Lei Dejin's younger brother Lei Detong, and he retreated in embarrassment and roared at Yang Hua: "If you rush more than ten steps, you will rush to the front of the thief army, how did you order the troops to be collected?" ”

"You can't break through the car formation." Yang Hua shook his head helplessly.

Redton asked: "Then watching Beizhai being attacked, let's not do anything?" ”

Yang Hua was silent.

They led their troops back to the castle to the west, and soon the Ming army also stopped the siege. One of the walls of the northern fort of the Chu army was attacked, three arrow towers were destroyed by hungry eagle carts, and more than a dozen wooden frames used to pour oil and gold juice were destroyed.

Then, the iron artillery concentrated on the city wall.

Yang Hua called Lei Detong to discuss: "A few days ago, your brother (Lei Dejin) came to persuade him to surrender, what do you think in your heart?" ”

"He is greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am not afraid." Redton said.

Yang Hua said: "He also has a point. ”

Lei Detong's eyes were round: "The master trusts you the most, and he will hand over the best soldiers to you, do you still want to join the enemy?" ”

"Alas, the situation is like this, and manpower can't go back." Yang Hua sighed.

Lei Detong suddenly drew his knife and looked at Yang Hua in disbelief, and he was already surrounded by Yang Hua's own soldiers.

Yang Hua had been canonized as a holy prince at this time, and he could be called one of the top generals in the Chu State, and he had always been known for his loyalty, and even Ying Xuan never thought that he could persuade this person to surrender.

But Yang Hua was indeed the first leader of the rebel army to surrender to Yue Fei.

Even when Yang Hua surrendered, his strength was second only to Yang Hua's headquarters. After he lost the battle, he quickly agreed to surrender Yue Fei and personally ran to trap Yang Qi, but failed due to leaking news.

Then, Yang Hua presented Yue Fei with a strategy to defeat Yang Qi's army......

"You really don't want to surrender?" Yang Hua asked.

Lei Detong held the knife and faced Yang Hua's personal soldiers who surrounded him, and shouted angrily: "Straight lady thief, kill your grandfather if you have a kind!" ”

Yang Hua said again: "You only need to tie your hands, and it will not damage your loyalty." Your brother has surrendered in Lujiao Village, and the Ming court will not embarrass you. ”

"Don't think!" Lei Detong roared and rushed forward, wanting to slash Yang Hua to death.

Yang Hua retreated again and again, and his soldiers stabbed him with guns.

I didn't want to kill Redton, I just planned to subdue him. But Lei Detong was extremely brave, and in the face of the siege, he was actually injured desperately, and slashed Yang Hua's three personal soldiers one after another.

Yang Hua finally got angry: "Poke him to death!" ”

More than ten guns besieged and stabbed, and Lei Detong suffered multiple injuries all over his body, but he still continued to rush towards Yang Hua.

In the end, Redton was stabbed into a blood gourd, and his eyes were round and unwilling to fall.

Yang Hua immediately led the troops out, gathered Lei Detong's cronies, and said to these people: "General Lei has surrendered, I don't have the face to see you again, quickly put down the weapons and wait for the opening of the city." ”

The cronies looked at each other, and for a while they couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

After a long confrontation, someone finally said: "Even if you want to surrender, you should say it in person, and we will only listen to his orders!" ”

Yang Hua said: "General Lei is loyal and does not want to meet you. ”

"Fart, you must have killed the third brother!" These cronies have come back to their senses.

"Kill!"

Yang Hua closed his eyes and turned to leave.

For a while, arrows rained down, and then swords and spears fell again.

After dealing with Lei Dejin's cronies, those small soldiers can't turn the storm anymore.

Yang Hua did not allow anyone to enter or leave the castle, and while sending his henchmen to contact Bai Qi, he personally went out of the city to Nanpu.

The defender of Nanbao is called Chen Yao, who followed Yang Qi to the last battle in history, but chose to defect in front of the battle when he was besieged, and kidnapped Zhong Ziyi, the son of Zhong Xiang, to surrender to Yue Fei.

"Not much to say, you and I have been brothers for twenty years," Yang Hua said straight to the point, "Dingzhou is gone, and many of the old brothers' clansmen will have to live under the Ming Dynasty in the future." The master will undoubtedly be defeated, is Brother Chen willing to surrender? ”

Chen Yao was stunned: "The Holy Father is cheating me?" I have no intention of surrendering. ”

Yang Hua said: "I just killed Redtong. ”

Chen Yao was shocked, neither refused nor agreed, but walked around and struggled.

After a long time, Chen Yao said: "My brother (Chen Yuxin, deputy general of Nanpu) is afraid that he is unwilling to surrender. ”

"You lured him in and tied him up," Yang Hua summed up his experience and came up with an idea, "Tie him up when he enters the house, so as not to fight and be forced to kill his brother." ”

Chen Yao was entangled there for a long time, but after all, he sighed and called his cronies to make arrangements.

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhong Yi, who personally guarded the North Fort, suddenly found that the West Fort and the South Fort had all changed their flags.

Bai Qi, Yang Hua, and Chen Yao sent troops to besiege Zhong Yi on three sides.

Yang Hua made meritorious contributions, and even came to the city to persuade him to surrender: "Prime Minister, Dingzhou is gone." Although your whole family has moved to Changsha, what about your clansmen? Many of them are still in Dingzhou! Many of the prime minister's subordinates are from Dingzhou......"

"Archery!"

Zhong Yi was furious and wanted to hack Yang Hua to death with his own hands.

The arrows flew, and the soldiers used their shields to protect Yang Hua and retreated.

Yang Hua rode to see Bai Qi again: "Marshal, please lend me those siege equipment." The marshal's heavenly soldiers only need to make a feint in the north, and the last general will definitely lead his troops to take the city first in the west. Even if you fight your best to the last soldier, you will take this fort! ”

Bai Qi thought for a while, then nodded and took Yang Hua's hand: "Everything depends on the general." ”

"If you can win the trust of the marshal, the last general will bow and die with all his might!" Yang Hua took the opportunity to show his loyalty.

After this person left, Bai Qi couldn't help but complain: "This is a real villain." Surrender not to mention, but also lead troops to attack Zhongyi. ”

Ying Xuan still feels incredible: "How could he have descended? ”

Wang Yuan asked, "Is this Yang Hua extremely famous?" ”

Ying Xuan said: "It's not just excellent, it's just righteous. Zhong Xiang led the army to the south, and the rest of the elite were handed over to Yang Hua, and even the soldiers in Zhong Yi's hands were not as good as him, which shows how much Zhong trusted him. This Yang Hua's surrender is already bizarre, and he still has to lead troops to attack Zhong Yi, and many of the generals we have surrendered have not turned their faces as ruthlessly as him. ”

Bai Qi muttered, "It's not bad that the villain can use it." ”

Soon, Bai Qi and Chen Yao's troops feinted to attack the north and south, and Yang Hua led the elite to sacrifice their lives to attack the city.

But the effect was very poor, Yang Hua's troops were originally extremely combative, but at this time they were unwilling to contribute to the siege. After all, it was a sword swing at a former friendly army, and it was okay if they didn't defect.

And the morale of the troops under Zhong Yi's command is almost zero, and the impact of the surrender of friendly troops is too great.

Many middle-level officers in the Chu army have begun to waver in their thinking, because their hometown is Dingzhou.

This is the meaning of Bai Qi hitting Dingzhou first!

Zhong Yi's lieutenant is called Hu Yuan, what does this person say? In history, before Yue Fei could get out of the horse, Hu Yuan directly surrendered to the Song army and killed Ying Xuan and Chen Yuxin.

Hu Yuan was able to make Zhong Yi a deputy general because he belonged to bringing capital into shares, raising troops to fight down a county and then defecting to Zhong Xiang.

He never believed in Manichaeism, but his title was that of a holy marquis!

After repelling Yang Hua's two attacks, Hu Yuan looked outside the city and thought for a long time.

Immediately, Hu Yuan brought a few personal soldiers to see Zhong Yi, and opened his mouth to scold: "Yang Hua, a straight thief, the master trusts him so much......

Hu Yuan's scolding of the traitor immediately made Zhong Yi relax his vigilance, and Zhong Yi's personal soldiers did not stop him.

Scolding and scolding, he had already walked in front of Zhong Yi, and Hu Yuan suddenly pulled out his knife and hijacked Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi's martial arts are not very skillful, and when he was defenseless, he was put on his neck with a knife by Hu Yuan, and reprimanded in horror and anger: "You dog thief will not be able to surrender to the enemy?" ”

Zhong Yi's personal soldiers threw rat traps, and they didn't dare to step forward around them.

The personal soldiers brought by Hu Yuan took the opportunity to go over to protect Hu Yuan.

Hu Yuan sighed and said: "Prime Minister, my hometown is in Cili County, and your hometown is in Dingzhou, but now they are all occupied by the Ming Dynasty." If we can stick to this year, we have all done our best, is it difficult to stop if we have to fight the old brothers? ”

"Traitors seeking glory, don't make excuses for yourself." Zhong Yi sneered.

Hu Yuan was also angry, and said as if venting his resentment: "When I raised troops against the Song Dynasty, I couldn't live anymore, and I wanted to follow Master Zhong to seek wealth and prosperity together." ”

"But what has happened in the past two years? The floating wealth and land I got were all taken away by Daming in my hometown. My wife, wife and children were also separated during the defeat, and their lives and deaths are still unknown. ”

"When I got here, Master Zhong only gave me a house, and the land was rewarded with more than 300 acres. Let's not talk about these, the grain grown by my tenants has to be handed over to the Great Chu Imperial Court, and there are only a few left throughout the year. ”

"The brothers who rebelled with me are nearly half dead, and I have nothing to reward them. Many of my soldiers were like me, and their families were scattered in Cili County when the army was defeated last year. They are also human beings, and they are also homesick, and Master Zhong can't give them a head start......"

The more Hu Yuan spoke, the more angry he became, and the personal soldiers he brought were also red.

They are all from Cili County, their hometown was occupied by Li Bao last year, and many of their families were separated, and they didn't want to go back all the time. I used to think about killing back, but now I want to surrender and go back to my hometown.

As soon as his anger was vented, Hu Yuan shouted: "Quickly give the order and open the city gate!" ”

Zhong Yi closed his eyes and didn't speak.

Under the protection of his own soldiers, Hu Yuan carried Zhong Yi to the city gate, and shouted to the soldiers along the way as he walked: "If you surrender, you can go home, Daming has shouted over there, they will not kill prisoners and surrender." Don't move, wait to go home and plant, the rice at home will be harvested if you don't irrigate it! ”

One after another, many generals came with troops.

Some generals were furious, but many more were relieved, and this protracted war finally did not have to be fought.
