Eighty-six

Since Xiao Ming Wang Se Gongzi sent troops to attack Licheng, along the way, the officers and soldiers in Pingyin, Changqing and other places fled, and all the fortresses were thrown to the rogue militia behind, and there were also small-scale small spontaneous resistance, and the resistance of the local people Yong and Dingding, but they were all defeated by the army of King Xiao Ming, and most of them were uprooted by the rogue militia.

Now the road to Licheng is full of fleeing officers and soldiers and rich gentry, squires, etc., now the king of Xiaoming has not yet reached the point of fighting for the rich gentry landlords, the policy is still the method of roasting salary, these people can only give up the foundation, to the north of the direction of Licheng with many soldiers and horses, along the way Deng Dezhi Department, Zuo Mingyu Department and so on to take the lead, these two departments are better mobile, the combat power is stronger, Hu Quan's army followed, and finally Hu Haima and other departments behind the palace, the army stretched dozens of miles.

There was panic in the city right now.

Licheng, the officers and soldiers guarding the city will shout on the city tower: "You wait to turn elsewhere immediately, don't try to enter the city again, Lord Cui has an order, in order to prevent spies from entering the city, the city gate will be closed, if you don't go away, you will be treated as the White Lotus Sect demon soldiers." The official above shouted dozens of times, but there were more and more people in the city, and many exiled old Baiwa jumped to their feet and scolded, pointing to the sergeant in the city and asking to open the door, but Cui Guiyuan had already given a strict order and sent his own standard battalion to guard it, and the gate of the urn city and the gate into the city, as well as the drawbridge were not controlled by one officer and soldier, but were scattered to different officers and soldiers belonging to the three departments, in case a single general really opened the city gate in private.

Now Cui Guiyuan has transferred the field army of more than 35,000 people in the city into the city, plus the original defenders, totaling more than 50,000 out of production army, the formation of these field army chiefs, some time ago Long Shizhong proposed to take advantage of the Xiao Ming King's forward attack on Changqing Fort with the speed of cavalry, annihilation of Xiao Ming Wang's forward, one is to dampen the spirit of the militia, and the other is to assist Changqing Fort to withdraw the defenders in Changqing Fort to Licheng, and now Changqing Fort Luo Yigui is still guarding with more than 1,000 soldiers and people's bravery, blocking the forward strength of the Liuqing Militia, this plan is completely feasible and of great significance, in this way, many old babies can run away— They are now running to Licheng and even farther away, but Cui Guiyuan didn't think about it and scolded Long Shizhong, this plan couldn't be done, and then Zu Tingnian and Zheng Mingshi, the chief soldier of Mao Bing, put forward a strategy, to station field soldiers outside the city, and the defenders of the city leaned on each other, while waiting for reinforcements everywhere, this method was also vetoed by Cui Guiyuan, Cui Guiyuan's idea is to use a big stone to block the four major gates of Licheng, and then defend it, this is a negative way to play, it is the best way Cui Guiyuan can think of now, but in this way, the field army is no different from Minyong, in defending the city, It is a great waste to put the field soldiers on the city wall and throw stones and shoot arrows downward, when Li Congzhe guarded Tai'an, he did not use officers and soldiers, and there were only less than 1,000 soldiers left in Tai'an at that time, Li Congzhe caught up with the city wall with the people in the city, and under the leadership of a small number of officers and soldiers, it also played the same role.

Zu Tingnian looked at the boiling crowd below, these old Baiwa were wearing colorful clothes, some were driving carriages, some were pushing carts, women were holding children, and the donkeys held by the men were all their own property, these people were crowded in the south of Licheng, and they all pointed to the city tower and scolded, scolding Zu Tingnian for being timid, these old Baiwa did not know the system of the court, only knew that there was a big banner with the word "Zu" in the city, and only knew that the official surnamed "Zu" was not allowed to enter.

On the one hand, there is Zheng Mingshi, the chief soldier of the Mao soldiers, Zhu Wanliang, the general and the local garrison Jiang Bi, the guerrilla He Shigong, etc., these are the officers who discussed with Zu Tingnian a few days ago to ask Cui Guiyuan for salary, but in the end, Long Shizhong's relent, let everyone be defeated, and the salary was not obtained.

Zheng Mingshi said: "Do you know that the guerrilla Wang Yongfang in Pingyin surrendered, and this is the first general to surrender the rebels. He Shigong spat out a mouthful of saliva and said, "Let's mention what he does, it's very embarrassing." Zhu Wanliang said: "Now it's up to Luo Yigui, if Luo Yigui can hold it, then these old hundred babies can run away, if Luo Yigui can't keep it, these old hundred babies will all be wrapped up in the militia." Although Zu Tingnian is now a general soldier and has a higher official position, because he is a guest soldier, he didn't talk much, and when he saw that Long Shizhong had not arrived among the people below, he said: "Why don't you see Long Shizhong." Zheng Mingshi said: "He felt guilty and didn't want to see everyone, two days ago he proposed to take the initiative to raise troops to save Luo Yigui, which was also because he was ashamed." Zu Tingnian said with a smile: "There is a word, there is a word, even if there is no him, it is estimated that we will not be able to get military salaries from Lord Cui." "Zu Tingnian doesn't dare to speak nonsense now, although everyone is a military general, but maybe he said something unpleasant, so he asked people to report to Cui Guiyuan, although these generals can say it on weekdays, but they are not allowed to have Cui Guiyuan's people among them.

The old Baiwa under scolded together, Zheng Mingshi poked his head out, and yelled at the Baiwa below: "Flee north, don't be in front of the city, King Xiaoming's army is coming, presumably they will not cross the city to chase you, you run away, if it's too late, it's too late." When the people below heard this, they scolded even louder, and threw a few stones at the head of the city, but the city wall was three feet high, how could this small stone be thrown up.

Zu Tingnian said with a smile: "Lord Zheng, it's useless for you to scold like this, I have a better way, you lead the troops out to rush, and then you will say that you want to rob these people's property, and ensure that they will flee north immediately, and then they will definitely be able to escape from the army of King Xiao Ming." Zhu Wanliang said: "General Zu said that he laughed, everyone knows that now Master Cui has issued a strict order, not to allow soldiers and horses to go out of the city, and those who go out of the city will be killed, how do you want General Zheng to go out of the city." Zu Tingnian smiled: "But I forgot, when people are old, they just can't remember things." ”

The sergeants below put a few arrows, and the old Baiwa below dispersed in a hurry, some fled to the landlords further north, and some stayed not far from the city gate, expecting the officers and soldiers to suddenly open the city gate, but the sky slowly became dark, and they did not see the city gate wide open, and finally only saw the torches on the city tower and the soldiers walking around, after Zu Tingnian and a group of generals discussed, the generals who were not defending this section of the city wall returned to their own defensive areas, leaving Zu Tingnian alone.

Zu Tingnian looked at the figure in the darkness below, it was the old Baiwa who was not willing to leave, and wanted to wait for the city gate to open, Zu Tingnian sighed, now he can't, the righteous son Zu Zehai on the side stepped forward and said: "Father-in-law, Lord Cui is so law-abiding, we can only defend and not fight back, if the militia is determined to besiege the city, our grain and grass will eventually run out one day, what will happen?" Zu Tingnian said: "I also know, so I inquired about the grain and grass, and I think I can also carry it until the opposite side of the army has no grain and grass." Zu Zehai said: "Father-in-law, we don't build acropolis, small fortresses, or rejecting horse ditches outside the city, this kind of fighting, I heard that Lord Cui still wants to block the four city gates, and the reinforcements can't be connected at that time, how can this be made." Zu Tingnian said: "What do you know, Cui Guiyuan is most worried that others will say that he doesn't know soldiers, this Cui Guiyuan is a big mistake with all the soldiers, and it is the way to speak." But when it came time to really fight, he didn't know anything, he only knew that he would defend the city after the method of Zhang Xun of the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't know that this method was based on the method of completely unable to fight head-on, and he did this, just to show that he knew the soldiers, if you ran to him and said this, he would inevitably hold a grudge, and he would definitely be sent out to die. ”

Zu Zehai's face darkened, and he said, "Father-in-law, when I think of doing things under such a person, I feel a sense of injustice in my heart. Zu Tingnian said: "You are still young, you have not experienced the closure of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion back then, it was really bloody and bloody, from the time of the first emperor began to suppress the military generals with civil ministers, when I was young, whether it was to fight the female straight or to fight the Turks, not to say that our Great Zhou soldiers can be one soldier ten, but one is still okay, our Great Zhou soldiers and the same female direct soldiers, The Turkic soldiers meet each other, there is no need to be afraid at all, but in the past 20 years, I have watched the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not as good as day by day, and the current army of the Great Zhou Dynasty often has to be three or four times larger than the opponent before they dare to confront the female straight and Turkic soldiers head-on. ”

Zu Zehai said: "Father-in-law, doesn't the emperor know? If the emperor hands over the power of mobilization, the right to command troops, the right to logistics, grain and grass, and the power of strategic decision-making to his father-in-law, the militia will not last for three months. Zu Tingnian smiled: "You are still young, you don't know some things, who do you say this world belongs to?" Zu Tingnian suddenly changed the topic and talked about it elsewhere, Zu Zehai didn't understand it for a while, and said: "The world is naturally the emperor." Zu Tingnian said with a smile: "What you said is exactly, the world belongs to the emperor, the emperor is most worried, in fact, it is our generals, of course the emperor knows that using civilian officials to manage the army will make the combat power decline, but put the power on the generals, the emperor is not at ease at all, so he stripped us of the power to transfer troops, formulate strategies, and logistics, he is not worried about fighting one or two small defeats, he is worried that we have won a big victory, and there is no reward for it, and it will take over the world." Zu Zehai was puzzled: "How can there be an emperor who doesn't want to win a battle, if the emperor wants to defeat the battle, then what else can we fight, anyway, the emperor doesn't really want to win the battle." Zu Tingnian said: "The emperor still hopes to win, but he wants to win, and he wants to hold all the power in his own hands, you remember, this world is the emperor's world, we do it according to the emperor's will, it is inconvenient to worry too much, I saw how many amazing generals died at the hands of the sword and pen scribes, you said that I can defeat the exile army in three months, hum, if those people still have one or two, three days can go straight to the lair of King Xiaoming." Zu Zehai said: "But what should we do if we are defeated?" Zu Tingnian said: "It doesn't matter, if I don't win the battle, it's simple for us to live, with my decades of experience, can't we still run away? Zu Zehai lowered his head and claimed to be.

Changqing Fort dozens of miles away from Licheng, the circumference of this fort is only three miles, the height is not more than one zhang, and it is not built up with bricks, just piled up with mud, a dozen rainwaters, it will flow a lot of mud from the wall, now this earthen wall has been washed by water one ravine after another, half a brick can not be seen inside, it is all black mud, the money for repairing this fort was divided between the eunuchs of the prison army and Cui Guiyuan, of course, the officials of the cabinet department and the officials of the Licheng Department of the Ministry of Justice, but also established a seriously shrunken project, completed the task。

Luo Yigui is now more than sixty years old, from the age of a soldier in his teens, he, the garrison officer, is the same generation as Zu Tingnian, he has experienced the era of the greatest military exploits of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when he was just a small army commander, in the Great Purge incident did not harm him, after decades of accumulation of qualifications let him finally become a garrison.

A hundred households below stepped forward and said: "Lord Luo, this wall can't withstand the rush, the small one looks at it, it's full of mud, if the other party uses a rushing car, as long as he rushes to the bottom of the wall, a pillar of incense can dig down the wall." Luo Yigui shouted: "What about the crossbow machine in the fort, drag it out, why don't you drag it out." The hundred households made a difficult look on their faces and said, "There are only some old armor bows and arrows in the warehouse, and there are no ballistas. Luo Yigui said angrily: "Bold, Ben will clearly see on the list that there are forty crossbow machines in the warehouse, eight hundred black-backed bows, one thousand bright helmets, one thousand heavy armor, and three thousand stones with thick faces, why don't you drag them out." The hundred households whispered: "My lord, that's the number on the books, in fact, we only have more than 400 black-backed bows, only more than half of the armor, and only a little more than one-third of the grain and grass." Luo Yigui's face turned pale, he pulled out his knife, and wanted to behead the hundred households under him, but he didn't do it after all, he also knew that it was not only the fault of the hundred households guarding the warehouse, but most of it was lost when it was transported, even if he was killed, it would be useless, thinking of this, Luo Yigui sighed: "You go down, send down all the things in the warehouse, don't drink the blood of the soldiers." "That Hua Baihu is an old man under Luo Yigui, and when he heard this, he kowtowed, and went down.

Luo Yigui looked back, dozens of his own soldiers were wearing helmets and armor, following behind him, behind the wall, the soldiers and the people also began to wear armor on their bodies, although some people ran, but most of these people's families are in Changqing Fort, and they can't run away if they want to run.

A personal soldier behind him shouted, "Uncle, they are here." ”

A torch came from the darkness in the distance, the front was the cry of the homeless, the forward was Zuo Mingyu, Hu Quan's art of war was to drive the refugees to attack the city, but now Zuo Mingyu thought about it, Changqing Fort should be empty, he passed a few small forts on the road, and the people inside had already gone to the fort to be empty, according to Zuo Mingyu's idea, he would hit Licheng today.

Luo Yigui said: "Go to the wall, don't let them rush over and close the door." He roared, the gate of the fort was closed, and the soldiers who were given bows and arrows were all on the wall, and now their families are all in the fort, although they hate Luo Yigui for detaining their families without consent and preventing them from escaping, but now he also knows that if the wandering militia is allowed to enter, everyone will die.

The hundred households and ten households took the guards to the earthen wall, and seeing that the flowing fire on the opposite side was getting stronger and stronger, Luo Yigui said to the relatives around him: "After the three arrows are shot, you will immediately rush over with me." A pro-soldier shouted: "Uncle, let's take the son away, I heard that Wang Yongfang has been lowered in front, let's not surrender, but there is no need to work hard for this court that does not pay money every month." Luo Yigui said angrily: "What nonsense, don't you see, in the past two days, more than 50,000 refugees have fled from Changqing Fort to Licheng, these people are afraid that they have not gone far, we stay here for a while, the more people can escape." The soldier wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Zuo Mingyu had already rushed down several forts today, and when he saw that the Changqing Fort in front of him seemed to have no fire, he said with a smile: "Are there still officers and soldiers who want to resist and can't resist?" He called a captain in front of him and said, "If you take someone forward, you will say that those who descend will not be killed." The captain should claim that the refugees in front of him were crowded under the fort and could not enter, and there was some confusion for a while, the captain of the army led a group of cavalry, rushed forward, if there were refugees who dared to stand in the way, they would be killed immediately, and the captain rode to the front gate of the fort and shouted: "King Ming has an order, if you surrender, you can ......" Before the words were finished, a cold arrow flew from the darkness with a "whoosh" sound, hitting his forehead.

Then the overwhelming arrows came over, the refugees in front cried and squeezed backwards, the gate of the fort suddenly opened, dozens of horsemen shouted and rushed out, the wall was suddenly brightly lit, illuminated brightly, Luo Yigui grabbed the front, and shouted: "Kill with me." ”

In the early morning of the next day, in Hu Quan's handsome tent, Hu Quan looked at Zuo Mingyu kneeling below with a gloomy face, and there were two rows of generals on both sides.

Hu Quan said: "You said that there are thousands of people in Changqing Fort, and Luo Yigui personally led the troops to kill them. Zuo Mingyu below bowed his head and said: "That's right, that Luo Yigui repaired the small castle tightly, in the night, the small one was first attacked by him for a while, and then he rushed out with his family, and those chaotic people also rolled back, disrupting the formation, and the small ones in the dark did not dare to fight at night, so they retreated." ”

Hu Quan said: "Originally, this morning, we should have gone to Licheng City, but because of you, we have to stay here for one more day, you say, what should we do?"

Zuo Mingyu Khan below came out, and Hu Quan just didn't say the word "chop".

Deng Dezhi below stepped forward and said: "Hu Shuai, it's better to let General Zuo make meritorious contributions, these days General Zuo has attacked and killed in front, captured a lot of forts, and made a lot of contributions, if he beheaded General Zuo for a while, is it too unfair, and now is the time to employ people, it is better to give General Zuo a chance." The generals on both sides stood up one after another and pleaded with Hu Quan, Hu Quan looked at the meaning of everyone, and knew that if he beheaded Zuo Mingyu, it was not impossible, but it would inevitably make everyone uncomfortable, so he said: "Within one day, you must capture this fort, and I will camp outside Licheng in the afternoon." Zuo Mingyu said loudly: "If you can't attack it, the young general will come to see you." ”

Zuo Mingyu went out of the camp gate, and immediately waved his troops, Zuo Mingyu had a total of more than 4,000 people, and more than 800 horsemen followed him, yesterday was of course because Luo Yigui was surprised, but also because there were only some horsemen around him at that time, and the brigade was not around.

Now that all the battalions under his command have arrived, and thousands of people have already arrived, Zuo Mingyu said: "Pass the order, the whole army will be dispatched to surround Changqing Fort on three sides, and I will capture this fort immediately." The soldiers below took the order and left.

The sun rose, and in front of the gate of Changqing Fort, there were corpses on the ground, which were the corpses left last night, most of them were the corpses of the fleeing Baiwa, and there were also many corpses of the wandering militiamen.

Zuo Ming originally only thought about a quick impact, but Yu didn't bring much siege equipment, but now he saw that he only brought many bows and arrows and long ladders on the left and right, thinking that Hu Quan was pressing tightly behind, and if he was a little careless, he asked him to find an excuse to behead, and ordered: "Attack the city immediately, the first one to attack the city wall will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." The soldiers below responded in an uproar, and the drums behind them sounded, and the besieging militia only carried a short ladder, and rushed towards the opposite earthen wall. The word banner is displayed, Luo Yigui stands behind a coffin, that is he moved his own coffin, he is over sixty years old, the family has already prepared for him longevity, usually do not use, but the soldiers are dangerous, the morale of the soldiers of the Changqing Fort is not high, the original other officials of the Changqing Fort are also running away, only Luo Yigui is left, Luo Yigui in order to show his determination to fight to the death, ordered the family to move the coffin to the wall, stand at the highest place, and set up his own flag, his garrison flag is only nine feet high, but it is the only flag representing the court in Changqing Fort, but it is not。

Luo Yigui poured the wine in the big bowl in front of him into his mouth in one gulp, and said loudly to the family in the back, the people and soldiers under the wall behind: "They are about to kill in, as soon as they kill in, our old parents and young sons in the family will let them kill, and the wives and daughters in the family will also let them rob the scourge, and even the graves of our ancestors will be ruined, you tell me, do you agree?"

The crowd below boiled, and a young man shouted, "No." And more and more roars arose, and everyone raised their hands, some with only forks, some with hoes, and most of them without weapons, and now the crowd was excited, and all of them cried out.

Luo Yigui pulled out a young man in front of him, this young man was wearing a green coat, dressed as a scholar, with a frightened look on his face, and shouted: "Father, father ......" Luo Yigui should not say: "This is my Luo Yigui's only son, I Luo Yigui only had a son at the age of forty-seven, now I will pull him out, everyone is optimistic, I Luo Yigui, either keep this castle, or, the family will die in this castle." His voice spread far away, everyone recognized this beautiful scholar is Luo Yigui's son Luo Wuche, Luo Yigui's lifelong dream is that his son won the top prize, so he gave his son a "five cars" name, hoping that his son will learn to be rich in five cars, since he was a child, he didn't want his son to take the road from the military money, so he made money, sent his son to the school, and spent a lot of effort to change the military status, everyone in the castle thought that Luo Yigui sent his son away, and didn't want Luo Wuche to stay here, Luo Yigui shouted: " Can we hold it?" all the soldiers below shouted: "Hold it, hold it." ”

The rogue militia quickly rushed to the wall, this earthen wall is not strong, the rogue militia has only had the experience of fighting a small fort before, the biggest siege battle is to fight Tai'an City, the result has not been defeated, but Changqing Fort is just a fort, and the local strong clan of the fort militia has been beaten countless times, and some local strong squire's fort is stronger than this Changqing Fort, but they have all been beaten down, so they still have experience in dealing with this kind of fort.

The militia below rushed to the bottom of the wall, the ditch of the wall was not repaired, Luo Yigui did not have the manpower to repair, let alone time to repair, the militia easily rushed over, threw down some bags of ashes to fill the ditch, and then rushed over on three sides, and did not enter the three walls There was a "ding, ding, ding......" alarm, this is in an emergency, Luo Yigui yelled at the arrow behind him: "Shoot" The people on the earthen wall of the fort poked their heads out, opened their bows, and shot at the displaced people below, and now the officers and soldiers have been peaceful for a long time, many people have not fought, and the archery does not know how to shoot the other party's small leader, often the archers panic, they only shoot ordinary soldiers, many people also bounced to their own hands, fortunately, the militia members below do not have the financial resources to wear armor, otherwise the effect is worse, some of the militia below are crazy to take all kinds of things to dig the wall, and some of them set up short ladders in low areas, and the people behind hold the lower half of the ladder, so that the ladder is not pushed down by the soldiers guarding the fort, and the people in front are desperately climbing up, carrying the weapon on their backs or holding it in their mouths。

On Luo Yigui's main wall, a ladder was steady, and there was a barb at the top of the ladder, hooking the mud above, and then I saw that the ladder was constantly shaking, that was because the people below were desperately climbing up, and a Minyong pushed the ladder hard, but did not push, and when he wanted to work harder, a rogue militia below had already exposed his head, and the rogue militia waved his knife with one hand, and the Minyong covered his neck and fell to the ground, and the rogue militia immediately jumped on the wall and slashed to both sides, trying to hold this piece and let the people below rush up, and then several ladder hooks hooked the mud wall, and obviously more people rushed up。

Luo Yigui pushed away his son who was blocking in front of him and shouted, "Get out of the way and hide aside." He carried a one-zhang long gun and carried his own machete, he was an old soldier, a veteran army who had conquered Mobei when he was young, and knew that wearing an armor in such a narrow air was not allowed to move, so he was naked, and rushed over, and the family members behind him also rushed over, the small leader-like wandering militia wore a red turban on his head, and was wielding a knife to cut people, and now there were already a few people behind him who followed, and what he had to do now was to put more people on the city wall.

A Minyong panicked backwards, was bumping into Luo Yigui, Luo Yigui was annoyed, both hands pushed, the Minyong pounced on the small leader of the militia, suddenly the white knife entered, but the red knife has not come out, a spear suddenly stabbed over, the small leader yelled, wanted to get out of the way, but still did not let go, was pierced through the chest by a shot, Luo Yigui worked hard, picked up the body of this small leader, danced twice, the family behind him also roared, rushed to the rush of these militiamen, Luo Yigui's family members are also brave people in the Zhou soldiers, and immediately cut these few militiamen to cry dad and mother, after the first few were cut down, The next few saw the murderous image of this group of officers and soldiers, turned around together, and jumped off the earthen wall, no matter how high the earthen wall is, it will not be nothing if it falls, and then the family members overturned the top of the ladder again, and there is no problem in this section.

Luo Yigui just wanted to take a break, and a family member shouted: "Uncle, that side is attacking again, Luo Yigui shouted: "Then what are you waiting for, kill me with me." "A crowd of people squeezed through the earthen wall and killed the men who had captured them on the other side.

When it was noon, the itinerant militia still did not rush to the wall.

Luo Yigui's family members are also half dead, and now they are all injured, they have driven down the displaced militia on the wall dozens of times, and later the militia and the military households have become more and more courageous, and the incident of jumping off the city wall with the militia has happened more than once.

Now the lower militia has just retreated, and they also have to eat, originally Zuo Mingyu wanted to take the fort and seize the food in the fort, but he didn't want to fight it at noon, Zuo Mingyu had to stop even if he didn't want his subordinates to stop, and the militia had to eat before they could go into battle.

Luo Yigui nibbled on the steamed bun in his hand, this is a dog meat steamed bun, there is a military family in the city who wants to lead the dog to the wall to bite the enemy, it is said that his dog has always been very vicious, but in fact, the most vicious thing in the world is that people are not dogs, facts have proved this, the dog is usually very able to bite, but after it was really led to the city wall, the dog was so frightened that he whined, Luo Yigui saw someone on the wall leading the dog, he laughed angrily, and ordered the dog to be killed, and the meat was eaten by the soldiers.

Behind is the women to break the bun steamed buns sent up, now Luo Yigui does not plan to save food, let everyone eat enough, this matter should be done by people such as eunuchs in the army, let the civil officials in charge of logistics do it is normal, this is the rule under the normal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now the Changqing Fort is small, there are no eunuchs to supervise the army, and a limited number of civil officials have fled, now there is only one official Luo Yigui in this fort, he should be benevolent, first the grain of each family is forcibly collected, and then divided into five warehouses, divided into troops to garrison, now his son Luo Wuche is calculating the number, doing these things。

Luo Yigui drank a well water, the coolness of the well water made him feel more comfortable, he moved his body, just now he was slashed on the back by the leader of a rogue militia, and cut off a piece of the boss's skin, which is still oozing blood, but it has been covered.

Now the people and the military households are fighting more and more bravely, especially under the leadership of Luo Yigui himself, seeing the militia being driven down again and again, and the militia and military households saw their daughter-in-law and family members behind them.

One of the family members below said: "Uncle, next time they will definitely dig the wall, look over there." This Ding pointed with his hand, a wall platform that was about to collapse was in front of Luo Yigui, and the officials of the staff department gave full play to the spirit of being greedy, if it wasn't for the way that the militia thought of the ant annex city at the beginning, I was afraid that this section would have been dug up now, Luo Yigui said: "What's so difficult about this, when your uncle was young, he followed several governors to fight outside the plug, and he encountered this situation a few times, although you are a family member, you don't know how to deal with this situation, so it's okay." After a while, the family went down to find someone and began to arrange.

Zuo Mingyu was so anxious that his eyes were red, while Hu Quan and the others looked at him coldly, seeing that his subordinates had finished eating, Zuo Mingyu stood up and shouted: "You guys don't get up, hurry, hurry up, this time we are going to dig down their earthen walls, use both sides as cover, pretend to seize the wall, do you hear?" His own soldiers had already begun to pick up leather whips and beat people, and the wandering militiamen sitting on the ground stood up again, picked up their weapons, lined up, and prepared for the next impact.

A trombone sounded, Zuo Mingyu didn't do anything about the siege on three sides this time, he attacked from the face, and the two sides began to set up ladders to the wall again, and also sent archers and archers, and some soldiers picked up large shields, raised them on their heads, and covered the people with iron pickaxes below to dig the wall.

Luo Yigui's flag also waved, and the people who rushed to the wall were first smashed with many stones, and then the boiling water was poured down, this was already summer, and the boiling boiling water fell down and poured on the people, many people screamed in pain, and a soldier's hand holding a shield was drenched, he screamed, threw away the shield in his hand, jumped on the ground a few times, and shook his hand fiercely, not wanting to be suddenly smashed with a big stone on his head, and then a few arrows came down, and he and several people behind him were lying on the ground.

The people above continued to shoot arrows at this section, throwing stones, and drenching boiling water, and the people in this section also desperately raised their shields to resist the stones and arrows above, or from time to time someone was shot down, drenched by boiling water and screamed, and even began to pour asphalt on it, as soon as this terrifying play was poured down, he immediately smelled a smell of meat, and several militiamen screamed, and their miserable howls could be heard in Zuo Mingyu behind the battle, if Luo Yigui had a lot of asphalt that could be drenched, then these people did not dare to approach the wall.

These unlucky ones fell to the ground and died, and the besieging militia retreated some, but Zuo Mingyu's own soldiers forced them up, cut down some, and began to dig this section regardless of casualties.

The wandering militia below screamed wildly, shouting, "It's going to collapse, it's going to be carried...... "This section of the wall shook a few times, and it looked like it was going to fall, and when it was going to fall, it would bury people, and when the wandering militia saw that this section was about to fall, the people in this section immediately ran backwards, so to speak, and they scattered in a hurry, and the people on this section of the wall that were about to fall also ran away, and they didn't want to be buried in the sand.

In the eyes of everyone, this section finally in the sound of "boom", slowly poured a paragraph, the militia in order to cut down this section, the sand and gravel of this section have been dug a lot, many of the sand and gravel to pick back the militia were shot to death on the way to transport the soil, because they have no more cover, if it is an army that can fight well, there is no problem with this person, they poured people and handed people to the back with sand and soil, but this wandering army has not yet reached this level, and the porters were shot to death.

Seeing that the wall had collapsed for a while, Zuo Mingyu had a relaxed smile on his face, and Hu Quan on the side also seemed to be relaxed.

After the dust cleared, the wandering militia shouted and rushed inside, and after a while, a group of people had already rushed in, and Zuo Mingyu behind had a relaxed smile on his face.

But he didn't laugh right away.

The officers and soldiers on the walls on both sides of the collapsed city lined up and threw bags of sand and gravel one by one into this section, apparently they had premeditated, and then the people who rushed in did not seem to be going well, and the sound of killing in the fort was loud.

In front of Zuo Mingyu's eyes, that section of the wall that had only collapsed a little bit became slowly rising, Luo Yigui took his family to fight in this section again, this time there were many more people who followed him, and they were condescending, taking advantage of the terrain, blocking the crowd of people who were impacting into two sections, Zuo Mingyu looked at the wall increasing a little bit but there was no way at all, the people who impacted made Luo Yigui retreat, they rolled back, completely ignoring their companions who broke into the fort.

Zuo Mingyu's eyes were so anxious that they were about to bulge out, and he shouted to the soldiers around him: "Rush with me, I don't believe it, I can't break through this paragraph." The pro-soldiers behind him originally wanted to persuade him, but when he saw his face, he didn't dare to say anything, Zuo Mingyu took dozens of pro-soldiers and rushed towards the flow of people who came back.

A cold arrow flew over, right in Zuo Mingyu's chest, he fell off the horse, the helmet fell into the dirt, the person on the wall was not stupid, seeing him rushing over, and he was a general, there is a reason not to let go of arrows, now Luo Yigui has not many arrows, he handed these bows and arrows to his own soldiers, the soldiers are naturally different from Minyong, naturally know which one to shoot, Zuo Mingyu is wearing a big red robe, a little red in the ten thousand black bushes, there is a reason not to shoot.

The militia dispersed in a hurry, and several of Zuo Mingyu's personal soldiers dismounted and carried Zuo Mingyu up, and then used their backs to block the bow and arrows, and rushed back to the camp.

Hu Quan sighed and said, "This Luo Yigui is really tough. ”

In front of Changqing Fort, the militia threw weapons, armor, and a few flags, and of course many corpses, retreated, and the fort went up to make a cry of joy, the people guarding the fort won the battle, of course, they had to cheer, Luo Yigui stood at the head of the wall, looked at the chaotic soldiers who fled backwards in front of him, and sighed: "If the cavalry was still there, it would be covered up at once, and it would be able to rush to the opposite camp at once, but now we have less than a hundred horses, and there are only so many cavalry soldiers, so we can only drive them out." The following family said: "Uncle, we finally defended it, presumably they didn't dare to attack." Luo Yigui smiled bitterly: "We just defeated a small group of people, look over there." Pointing to the camp of the wandering army on the opposite side, he saw one camp after another, and countless camp tents were erected, and they were very lawful, and they were horns against each other, and each battalion was divided into separate camps, and the horsemen and infantry were separated, and then he said: "The other side has only sent a tenth of its troops to attack in all directions, but I am afraid that we will not be able to hold it for an hour." The family said: "Uncle, if we go, we still have many horses to protect you and your son, and I think we can get up." Luo Yigui said: "In order to cover the hundreds of babies who fled north, I sacrificed thousands of people in this fort, my conscience is already uneasy, but now I want to leave them alone to escape, how can I do it, I should die with these thousands of people, so as to be worthy of them." He looked at the sun and said: "It's getting late today, if they attack the city at night, there will be a lot of inconvenience, the militia will besiege us to death today, and tomorrow will launch a general attack, you take a few people, tie up the son, and send him out of the city immediately, I don't show favoritism in my life, I will do it once when I die, I am sorry for his mother." When the family members below heard this, they immediately went down the wall, quietly took the few remaining family members, and went to tie up their son-in-law.

Luo Yigui stood up, the people below gave way to him, Luo Yigui rushed to kill in front, with a knife wound on his body, naturally he was respected by these people, and everyone had a lot less resentment about Luo Yigui's family members at the beginning, and these people actually knew in their hearts that they lost the fort and fled, did not block the militia, and fled north with the Baiwa who fled north, so the militia behind them immediately caught up, and the result was that tens of thousands of old Baiwa and the people in the fort were the ghosts of the militia, but when the disaster came, everyone had selfish thoughts in their hearts, and always felt that they had that glimmer of life, maybe they could escape, I didn't want to organize to resist, but Luo Yigui forcibly took care of the military households and Minyong's family in the fort, and forcibly let everyone fight, at first he naturally hated Luo Yigui, but after seeing Luo Yigui take the lead in killing the enemy, these simple people began to forgive Luo Yigui again.

Luo Yigui walked to the women's and children's camp at the back, and said to the people around him: "How many children are there?" Baihu, who had been scolded by him, stepped forward and said: "There are about two hundred, all of them are under fourteen, and we are all on the wall." Luo Yigui smiled: "You did a good job, but now there is a more important thing to do." The hundred households said: "My lord, please say, the little one has been an official for many years, and the first time I saw an official like an adult, the adult rushed to the front, and it was not impossible for the little one to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire." Luo Yigui said: "No, no, we blocked the militia for a day, presumably the hundred babies who fled to Licheng have let Master Cui enter Licheng, as long as they enter Licheng, the tens of thousands of Baiwa can live, and it will be meaningful for us to keep this day." Baihu bowed his head and said: "Yes, what do you want me to do?" Luo Yigui said: "When it gets dark later, you take your cronies and children, go north and east, and quietly go out of the city, don't let people find out, if people find out, people will definitely be unstable." Baihu exclaimed: "My lord, this ......" Luo Yigui said: "We killed and injured thousands of people today, how can King Xiao Ming let go of this city full of people, he will definitely slaughter the city, these children, are all hope, don't let them die, you think of a way, take them out, can live one by one." Baihu opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it, Luo Yigui said again: "You also know, we will hold out until tomorrow morning at most, and the militia will definitely besiege from all sides early tomorrow morning, and Changqing Fort will definitely be lost, this fort will be lost after all, and one night will be enough for you to take the children away." Baihu didn't say anything, just nodded: "The little one remembers, the little one fights for his life, and he won't let these children lose one?"

Luo Yigui walked among these children, there were only these hundred households around him, and suddenly he grabbed Luo Yigui with one hand, and a voice cried and shouted: "You ate my family's ashes, I want you to compensate me, I want you to compensate me." "The children are kept in a heap to be guarded so as not to injure the children in the fight, and the grass factory is set up on this piece of land, which is covered with the children's heads in case the cold arrows come down, and the children's parents are outside.

Luo Yigui thought about it, remembered that it seemed to be this family, his father led the dog to the earthen wall, and wanted to let the dog bite the militia, but the people on the battle array were ten thousand times more vicious than the dog, the dog saw the human slashing and killing on the wall, slashing and stabbing the gun, and wanted to kill the opponent as soon as possible, and there could still go up and bite people, at that time Luo Yigui ordered the dog to be killed, not wanting this to be the child's domestic dog.

Luo Yigui squatted down and said, "Child, don't worry, when grandpa repels these bad guys, I'll send you a good dog." The kid shouted, "Are you telling the truth?" Luo Yigui said: "Naturally, it's true, grandpa's military law is like a mountain, unless grandpa is dead, it will definitely be done." The child immediately laughed, and Luo Yigui asked, "What's your name?" The child said, "My name is Yunyan, the flower of the clouds, and the words of words." At this time, the child's parents rushed in, the child's father was a Minyong, and when he saw Luo Yigui, he was about to kneel, Luo Yigui said: "Don't kneel, get up, it's so vain from there now." The child's mother took the child's hand and kept saying: "The child is not sensible, adults should not be surprised......" Luo Yigui waved his hand and took Baihu out of the grass factory.

At night, as soon as the darkness fell, he saw that the camp of the rogue militia on the opposite side was brightly lit, and many places were obviously building siege equipment, Luo Yigui said to himself: "If the governor is still there, and the elite soldiers of the year are there, you people also want to rebel." Thinking of some of the past, he shook his head, if the elite soldiers of the year were still there, they would have attacked the camp at night, where the other party was allowed to be arrogant in front of him.

An old man below stepped forward and said, "My lord, Hua Baihu quietly took the children and left, without alarming anyone else." Luo Yigui said: "That's good, now what we can do has been done, tomorrow I'm afraid that the right side will suddenly clear the fort, presumably they can enter Licheng tonight, the city wall is high, and the militia can't break it." Lao Ding said: "My lord, we only slept on the wall tonight. Luo Yigui said: "You bring the rest of the family, let's go to the wall and take a look." ”

Attacking the city at night is very easy to hurt their own people, especially the side with a large number of people, maybe an arrow will shoot out to the head of their own people, and the advantage of the number of people on the side with a large number can not be brought into play, so Luo Yigui concluded that the other party will not attack at night, and Luo Yigui has only dozens of elite soldiers in his hands, if the thousands of people guarding the city under him are elite, he will attack the camp instead, because the night battle is often the better when there are fewer people, the better the soldiers, but with the level of the people and soldiers who defend the city, as soon as they get out of the gate of the fort, they will be separated in the dark night, so Luo Yigui does not dare to go out of the city to attack at night。

The people were sleeping on the wall in various positions, and a pair of young men and women quietly hugged each other in the darkness in the distance, trying not to make a sound, but listening to their panting Luo Yigui also knew what they were doing, if it was usual, Luo Yigui would naturally scold, and even arrest them, but now he has no such idea.

Luo Yigui took people around, looked at everyone's sleeping appearances, returned to the drum tower, leaned on the wall, and slowly fell asleep with the alarm clock on one side.

The sound of "Ding Ding Ding ......" sounded anxiously, Luo Yigui stood up suddenly, and in his dream, his son was admitted to the top prize and became a daughter-in-law, and then hugged his grandson and watched the children running all over the yard.

It's just that I'm finally awake.

Luo Yigui looked at the lineup on the opposite side, and took a breath of cold air, the military horses on the opposite side were so strong that he couldn't see the edge at a glance, which made him seem to have returned to the military parade when he went out to Mobei decades ago, but he was one of them at that time, but now he was standing opposite him and was his enemy.

The trumpets of the opposing side sounded in unison, and the army pressed forward, and the dust rose half of the sky, and suddenly stopped when it reached the land of a stone's throw.

A middle-aged man wearing armor suddenly arrived at a stone's throw away from the fort under the cover of several rogue militiamen with big shields, and the man shouted: "Uncle Luo, I'm Wang Yongfang, do you still recognize it?" Luo Yigui took a closer look, it was Wang Yongfang who he looked at growing up, he thought he was dying in front, but he didn't want to surrender to the enemy, and his heart was on fire at the moment, and he scolded: "You traitor, what are you doing in front of my battle, do you want to send him to death?" Wang Yongfang shouted: " Uncle Luo, come down, King Ming is very good to the brothers who have surrendered, as long as you surrender, you will be an official as usual. Luo Yigui scolded: "Traitor, where did your conscience go, I have been friends with your father for decades, he has been upright all his life, how can he teach you such a rebel, come up quickly, let me shoot you an arrow, and discipline you for your father." Wang Yongfang shouted: "Uncle Luo, why do you work hard for this worthless court, it is better to vote for the Lord, the Lord will let you take charge of the army alone, I know Uncle Luo, you have always dreamed of expeditioning to the desert, as long as the Lord wins the world, he will definitely sweep away the land that does not obey the king, and Uncle Luo's heart can also be repaid." Luo Yigui's eyes widened angrily, and he scolded: "Don't talk to you more, you come to take your Uncle Luo's life, I see what face you have to meet your father." He stopped talking to him, and Wang Yongfang, opposite the Wandering People's Army, shouted a few more times, trying to impress Luo Yigui several times, but Luo Yigui ignored Wang Yongfang.

After a while, a flag suddenly rose on the opposite side, and the flag with the inscription "Surrender Luo Yigui" was waving in the wind, and the rogue militia also specially sent people to wave the flag, and a cavalryman carried the flag and ran along the fort. In a short time, the fort was run in a circle, and almost everyone saw it.

Luo Yigui scolded: "The thieves are deceiving, but they want to break the hearts of our army, how can I surrender to these thieves." The subordinates who called one side took a large piece of white cloth, and when they saw the blood of a dead man on the ground, they stained it with blood, and wrote on the white cloth: "Surrender Wang Yongfang" four big characters, and said to the soldiers on the side: "You also wave this flag, run along the wall, and run three times, so that the people on the opposite side can see it." "Some soldiers have already taken the flag and started running.

Hu Quan, the camp of the militia militia, saw this scene, and was unhappy, thinking that this small fort would surrender immediately, but he didn't expect a hot face to stick to a cold ass, and ordered with a cold face: "Siege the city, order the armored pacesetters to attack from the main gate, Ben Shuai wants to slaughter the city, and this Shuai wants Na Luo Yigui's head." The militia below responded.

In the sound of the horn, rows and rows of armored soldiers came to the front of the formation, a trombone, tens of thousands of light arrows flew into the sky, in the mild summer morning jumped on a group of arrows with white tails, they flew into the sky, and then fell to the ground, and then another wave rose, one after another wooden shield cart pushed out, except for the cart, all were armored pacesetters, they looked calm, followed behind the shield cart, rushed to the weak wall, these armored soldiers to the wall and the people on the wall to shoot, the people have not many arrows, plus most of the armor pacesetters are good archery, the wall was shot dead more people。

Groups of diggers came up, and they were digging the walls as they had done yesterday, but now there was no more boiling water or asphalt, and the supplies were almost used up yesterday.

The rogue militia surrounded the fort and attacked on all sides, not long after, all four shouted urgently, Hu Quan hated Luo Yigui aroused the morale of the defenders, hit the morale of the rogue militia, of course, to suppress it, not long after, there are a few signs of being dug down, and there are a few people on the wall, these rogue militia on the wall are Hu Quan's armor pacesetters, naturally different from yesterday.

Luo Yigui took his few remaining family members, and rescued him around, there were fewer and fewer people around him, and he was injured more and more, when he was fighting with a rogue militia on the wall, there was a "boom", and the masonry under his feet suddenly loosened, and it turned out that there were also people digging the wall in this section, Luo Yigui was distracted, and a spear with a red tassel suddenly stretched out from the crack in the shield in front of him and pierced his right calf.

At this time, this section of the wall was about to collapse, and the people on the left and right dispersed, even the enemies who were fighting with Luo Yigui also retreated, flashing to both sides, but Luo Yigui couldn't move anymore, he was hit by a kick in the leg, pierced a hole, and couldn't lift his feet anymore, and now it can be said that he is dragging his legs and walking.

A man in the back shouted: "Lord Luo, pounce on him and drag him." But before he could do it, Luo Yigui and a pile of sand and gravel sank into it, half of Luo Yigui's body was buried in the sand and gravel, and his upper body was still standing, and the dust was all over the place, fascinating people's eyes and making it difficult for both sides to see clearly.

Luo Yigui coughed a few times, his hair and clothes were full of dust, and it took him half a day to see things clearly, and his hearing was restored.

Luo Yigui came to his senses, looked around, and now there were killing sounds everywhere, the rogue militia had not only dug up one place, but now they had rushed into the fort, and he could see that a team of rogue militiamen in armor were slashing and killing the women who were boiling water and cooking, killing them crying and shouting for their mothers, and fleeing in all directions. Some of the people on both sides resisted, some threw their weapons and armor and fled, scattered, and the banner standing in the center was also cut down.

All he heard in his ears were the roars of killing, begging for mercy, and the neighing of horses, dozens of pacesetters in armor approached him in front of his eyes, looking at him carefully, this veteran had just slashed and killed more than a dozen elite soldiers in armor, and he was an opponent that should not be underestimated.

Luo Yigui sighed, and said in his heart: "I don't know if the children have escaped?" Seeing the approaching armored soldiers in front of him, Luo Yigui saw a broken knife not far from his body, so he laboriously pulled the knife into his hand, and several approaching wandering militiamen took a few steps back, as if they wanted to draw out an arrow to shoot him, Luo Yigui waved the broken knife with his hand, pointing at the armored soldiers in front, and now they had opened their bows and mounted arrows, ready to shoot him.

Dozens of heavy arrows flew over, Luo Yigui's body bounced, it was an arrow shot at him, a moment later, Luo Yigui lowered his head, and the broken knife in his hand also fell to the ground, and now he became a blood gourd, and his body was full of arrows. Before I was unconscious, I only felt that I had turned into light and merged into the ocean of light, and I secretly said in my heart: "I am worthy of my heart after all." ”

Several rogue militia rushed up, and a big knife slashed at the corpse's neck, cutting off his head, and the rogue militia shouted with joy: "Luo Yigui is dead, Luo Yigui is dead......

Changqing Fort fought for two days and was finally laid.

Hu Quan looked at the head presented below, and said coldly: "Marinate this head, and every time you go to a city in the future, you will show it, so that the officers and soldiers who defend the city in the world can take a look, what is the fate of resisting our army?" Deng Dezhi said loudly: "Marshal, this Luo Yigui is also a good man and loyal minister, it is better to give him a decent person and let him be buried in peace." Hu Quan slapped the table and shouted: "Fart, only those who are loyal to our army are heroes and loyal ministers, and those who are against our army are corrupt officials and evil people, if you say this again, even if you are the Lord's henchman, I will push you out and behead you." Deng Dezhi's face was pale, and the generals on both sides had different faces, and Deng Dezhi didn't dare to speak.

Hu Quan said again: "The Golden Rooster Department is about to slaughter this city, Hu Haima, you take those officials who surrendered, Wang Yongfang, Shi Tingzhu, Shi Dayong, these people, all go to the front of the battle to have a look, and see what other dissenting intentions they dare to have." Hu Haima walked out of the camp in response, and the camp did not speak for a while.

Hu Quan said: "It's all scattered, immediately march to Licheng, Deng Dezhi, you are the forward, if you can't go to Licheng City this afternoon, I will engage in military law." Deng Dezhi didn't dare to disobey, bowed his head and walked out.

Deng Dezhi arrived at the camp gate, and took over Zuo Mingyu's errand, Zuo Mingyu was hit by an arrow, and now he is still lying on the bed, Deng Dezhi will order himself to be a part, as a striker, he is much more meticulous than Zuo Mingyu, to arrange to explore the horse to find out the left and right, and to report to his subordinates on time, these Zuo Mingyu can't do it.

Seeing that the sweeping king in the same camp was walking out, Deng Dezhi shouted: "Sweeping king, why don't you go back to the whole army to advance, but where are you going?" Hu Haima called a group of demotes, and now he is going to the fort to see the killing, I will go to see what can be fished, and now there is still a period of time before the army is allocated, you also bring dozens of personal soldiers to take a look, to see if there is anything good to pick, and it is better than outsiders. Deng Dezhi didn't want to go, but when he saw that there was nothing to do, he had a trace of the idea of being able to save the surrenderer, so he said to the soldiers behind him: "You call fifty soldiers, let's go to the fort to have a look." ”

Deng Dezhi and the sweeping king each brought people to the side of the fort that was breached, the fort broke a few big holes, and the dead bodies lay on the ground in various postures, Zuo Mingyu saw the corpses lying on the side of Luo Yigui's big flag, all of which were killed to protect the flag, and there were people on both sides, but now they have made a view of the ceremony, Hu Haima brought many officials, such as Wang Yongfang, Shi Tingzhu, Shi Dayong, these people to the platform together, and did not avoid the corpses under their feet, so they stood there.

Seeing Deng Dezhi coming, a group of demoted officials showed a humble look on their faces, and Hu Haima was not high because he lost the battle, and his current status was not high, and he didn't dare to be contemptuous when he saw Deng Dezhi, and beckoned him to his side, and the sweeping king asked a group of people under him to clean carefully, not even letting go of the clothes on the dead people, and the sweeping king brought the most people, and it was also the longest than cleaning the battlefield.

A group of wild dogs in front of him were biting a headless corpse, the corpse was not dressed, and it could be seen that it was the corpse of an old man. Hu Haima said in a low voice: "It's Luo Yigui's, the marshal wants to order Li Shun to feed Luo Yigui's body to the dogs, isn't it being fed now?" Deng Dezhi stood up suddenly, and was about to speak, when the sweeping king grabbed him and shouted: "Brother, don't shout, if you let the marshal know, you will feel good, and besides, this matter will be caused to the lord, and the lord is afraid that you will be blamed for many things, and he will not stand on your side." Deng Dezhi stood up and watched Luo Yigui's body being pulled around by several dogs, but finally didn't say anything.

The officials didn't dare to say anything, this time they brought them over, just to let them see the tragic situation of not surrendering, a person rushed in from the gap, it was the golden rooster Li Shun, Li Shun's soldiers tied a team of people with ropes, and pushed in from the gap, these are the people who escaped when the fort was broken, so that Li Shun caught.

Hu Haima said to the demoted officials: "You are optimistic, if you don't surrender, this is the end." ”

The degraded officials didn't dare to speak, and Shi Tingzhu smiled cautiously: "What the general said, they resisted the heavenly soldiers, and they died innocently." Wang Yongfang rushed forward and said, "The little one is willing to kill these people with his own hands and show his loyalty to King Ming." The later demotes also expressed their positions.

Li Shun said: "Cut them." Deng Dezhi saw a woman, broke free from the rope in his hand, and fled to a shed, not wanting to be killed by a soldier behind her, so he caught up and dragged her out of the shed, and dragged her upside down with her legs upside down, dragging dozens of steps, and then thrust a knife into her abdomen, lest she not die.

After a while, it was calm, only the soldiers were still checking whether there was any pretending to be dead on the ground, and when they saw that it did not look like they were dead, they made up for it with a knife or two, and checked it very carefully.

Deng Dezhi stood up and said, "I'll move forward immediately, look at yourself, I'll go first." ”

The sweeping king smiled at Hu Haima and said, "He's like this, don't be surprised." ”

Deng Dezhi returned to his camp and said to the left and right: "Immediately march, don't stop, let's go to Licheng immediately." The generals below saw Deng Dezhi's expression, and did not dare to ask more, Deng Dezhi gave an order, the sergeant got on the horse, and the infantry behind was in a rapid marching army column, and drove out of the camp.

Running out of the gate, a team of more than 3,000 people pulled out a long smoke dragon and disappeared from view.
