"Science? What's that?"

Zhou Huai'an's eyes were blank and he muttered to himself, although he didn't think that he would definitely succeed in leading the army to rebel this time, but he never thought of a defeat like today.

At that time, when the army from outside the pass entered the pass, after the two major battles of Datong and Taiyuan, it was very firm Zhou Huai'an's confidence in the victory of the army, this time he originally wanted to be stationed in Changxindian, in order to attack Beijing City the day after tomorrow, but Zhou Huai'an never thought that things would develop to this point.

When he conquered Datong and Taiyuan, he also gathered many people in the rivers and lakes to assassinate important generals of officers and soldiers, and succeeded several times, so it was so easy to attack these places.

But after all, his murder was a sneaky assassination, and it was still reasonable, but today, Li Xiake was unreasonable and extremely arrogant and rode alone on a horse to step on the company camp, and directly captured the king and killed the commander.

He has been in the army for many years, and he has never seen such a fierce person, it is said that Li Cunxiao led eighteen people to occupy a big city, but that is just a legend, and now Li Xiake is really just one person, and he killed the important generals under his command, this is no longer a legend, but a real thing.

After Li Xiake rushed out of the military camp with Zhou Huai'an, Zhou Huai'an knew that his army would be defeated, and even his own commander was captured, and the rest of the important generals were also beheaded by Li Xiake.

At this time, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that his army would not be defeated too badly, and it was best to have the possibility of retracting, but when the artillery of the Shenji Battalion fired shells, this glimmer of hope also disappeared.

Before the Ming Dynasty, there was actually artillery, but that kind of artillery was very impractical and played a limited role in large-scale battles, so until now, the imperial court did not pay much attention to these firearms, although Zhou Huai'an had been in the army for many years, it was the first time to see such artillery.

This kind of power that caused the city to collapse made him in a trance, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"If there is such a sharp weapon to defend the city, what team in the world can capture Beijing City?"

He was a little distracted: "Li Xiake, who made such a sharp weapon?"

At this time, the 100,000 troops of the Jingying Guard had already dispatched 50,000 to chase and kill the remnants of the defeated generals, and there were still 30,000 to clean up the mess, and the remaining group of people remained unchanged, closely guarding Li Xiake, Cao Shaoqin and others.

Li Xiake did not move forward with the army, but just rode on a horse to watch the battle of the army, he has already made such a show, and the rest of the limelight should also let his officers and soldiers come out.

After hearing Zhou Huai'an's words, Li Xiake shook his head and smiled: "Brother Zhou, if I say that this cannon is something I asked people to improve, do you believe it or not?"

"Cannon? I believe what you say! Before you, I had never seen such a sharp weapon, and this kind of thing only appeared after you took charge of the government, so it can be seen that this thing is indeed related to you. Li Xiake, you have such a sharp weapon, why don't you equip it in the Nine Sides of the important land? If I knew that the imperial court had such a sharp weapon, I would not have taken the liberty of causing an incident!"

Zhou Huai'an's face was pale, and his eyes were blank: "Did you deliberately lure us over to catch them all?"

Li Xiake smiled and said: "Deliberately seducing you? You are also worthy of Brother Zhou, you rebelled, in fact, it was just a disease of scabies for me, it was nothing, as long as I had the heart, Li could kill you, I don't know if you believe it or not?"

Zhou Huai'an nodded dumbly: "Yes! With your current strength, you may not be able to stop a million troops alone, but it is easy to kill the generals, you should really look down on us!"

Li Xiake said: "Yes, I have so many things to do in the capital, and I haven't had the energy to pay attention to you, but I didn't expect you to take yourself more and more seriously." To put it mildly, Brother Zhou, what is the difference between you anti-thieves and local chickens and dogs in Li's eyes?"

The iron gun in his hand was raised, and the tip of the gun pointed to the battlefield ahead: "If you are here today, don't think about leaving, if you don't kill you, how can you show Li's means?"

On the battlefield in front, it was simply a one-sided massacre, many rebels directly threw away their weapons, squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and then were trampled into meat by the cavalry team, and some of them resisted stubbornly and were divided into pieces by random blades, and the situation was already out of control.

Li Xiake's voice sounded faintly in Zhou Huai'an's ears: "I'm worried about how to wipe out a group of scholars in Jiangnan, I didn't expect Brother Zhou to be so cooperative, when I need it most, lead the troops to rebel and enter the pass, hehe, there is such an excuse, when I kill people, it is also justified." ”

Zhou Huai'an was shocked, looked at Li Xiake, and his lips trembled: "You...... This is your real purpose? What does my army have to do with the Jiangnan Shi clan this time? Don't kill good people indiscriminately!"

Li Xiake looked ahead and said softly: "Brother Zhou, we are all people who understand, and Ming people don't say dark words, where did the military pay come from when you started the army this time? Who provided the military rations? Who supported you behind the scenes? In fact, as long as you check these behind-the-scenes, you don't need to carefully check at all to find out who they are. ”

"You are defeated this time, and none of them can escape! If you don't kill people, it seems that they still don't have a long memory!"

Zhou Huai'an said loudly: "Aren't you afraid of chaos in the world?"

Li Xiake said strangely: "Isn't it a great chaos in the world now? You have said that I am a traitor who does all kinds of evil, and as a traitor, what does this world chaos have to do with me?"

Zhou Huai'an: "...... Li Xiake, are you humiliating me?"

Li Xiake was even more curious when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Huai'an, who was kneeling on the ground: "Brother Zhou, of course I'm humiliating you, you've been kneeling for so long, haven't you reacted? I'm just humiliating you!"

"You ......"

Zhou Huai'an was furious, frightened and angry, stared at Li Xiake with wide eyes, suddenly snorted, and fell to the ground with blood.

Li Xiake disagreed, and waved his hand: "Come on, lift Brother Zhou up, take good care of him, you must eat and drink well, after all, you know each other, don't abuse him!"

A few soldiers ran over and bowed and saluted, admiringly: "My lord, you are so benevolent!"

Li Xiake laughed: "Go! Take good care of him!"

After Li Xiake broke into the barracks and killed the rebel generals and captured Zhou Huai'an alive, the rebels were defeated, and now they were bombarded by artillery one after another, and they had long lost their fighting spirit, and were killed by the soldiers of the Beijing camp guard, and the rest were all taken prisoner.

In this battle, from Li Xiake riding alone on horseback to the company camp to clean up the battlefield and return to the capital, during the period of not even a day's effort, when the sun set and the sky was dusk, the 100,000 troops of the Beijing camp guard surrounded Li Xiake and returned to Beijing.

When I arrived at the edge of the city of Beijing, I saw that the city gate was closed, and the city was full of defenders, and when I saw the army coming to the city, there was a commotion at the head of the city, followed by a rain of arrows.
