“Ha~~”

He Jin stretched and smiled: "Who doesn't want to be a flower world at the foot of the mountain? Who would want to hide in the mountains? Look at Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong is so free and happy, but we have to worry about ourselves. Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong are one, and we can't stand it, let alone these two people are in Fengyang and the other in Anqing. As long as we dare to go down the mountain, we can come here in three or five days. Don't blame me for increasing the ambition of others. We are indeed not opponents."

Lin Yangcheng smiled and said, "Brother, second brother, there is good news."

"Oh? Say it quickly!"

He Yilong urged.

Lin Yangcheng smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of Li Xin?"

He Yilong and He Jin looked at each other.

He Yilong pondered and said, "It seems that there is a little impression. I heard that this person was a scholar in Qi County and was defiled by the county magistrate and was imprisoned. Hongniang organized his troops to save him. The two of them took their troops to join Li Chuang. They might be a little unhappy. They left shortly after, they wandered all the way to Gaoyou and captured the city. However, there were too many such people and they couldn't last long. Why did they remember to talk about him?"

Liu Xiyao smiled and said, "Huang Degong is leading his troops to Gaoyou!"

"oh?"

He Yilong and He Jin stood up at the same time, their eyes dying.

He Jin said: "If this is the case, Liu Liangzuo is surrounding Zhang Xianzhong with Zuo Liangyu, and Huang Degong will not come back for a while, then we can go down the mountain to get a vote. It is better to attack Huoshan County, break the county town, and let the brothers open their lives!"

He Yilong didn't say anything, and walked back and forth with his hands on his back. After a while, he shouted: "What are you fighting? The small county town is so poor that it sounds like a jingling. If you want to fight, you can beat Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui)!"

"Luzhou?"

The three of them exclaimed in unison!

"good!"

He Yilong nodded vigorously: "From us to Luzhou, it's only 400 miles away. He also pulls Lao Huihui, gathering tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and it takes five or six days to arrive. Luzhou only has the strength of one guard at most. It's not difficult to attack. If you rob it again, when we return to the mountain, he will only be able to eat my fart!"

“Hahahaha~~”

The three of them burst into laughter.

"I'll call Lao Huihui!"

Lin Yangcheng hurried away.

...

Three days later, Huang Degong mobilized the cannons again at the corner of the northeast city wall, and there were a large number of Folang machines and tiger squat cannons as backups.

Gao Guiying suddenly realized: "It turns out that Huang Degong has no moves. He fought hard and used artillery to bombard the repaired city wall. Although it has been repaired, it is not very strong. He is planning to destroy the city wall with a group of cannons."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Don't underestimate Huang Degong's counterattack. He will never retreat until the last time of despair. Everyone is ready to face the most difficult moment. Now everyone is down."

Everyone left one after another. In a moment, a flag in the official army waved, and several cannons fired. Then the cannons became louder and louder, shaking the sky and earth, and dozens of cannons kept setting off.

Because the revolutionary army was at a disadvantage in firepower, Li Xin gave up the idea of ​​fighting against Huang Degong. His tactics were to waste. On the basis of preserving the vitality, Huang Degong could not bear it and looked for an opportunity to turn defeat into victory. At the same time, he also wanted to appease the people in the city and evacuate the residents along the walls into a safe area, minimizing the impact on the people as much as possible.

One by one, the shells were shot out from the muzzle, and many hit the city walls, and some crossed the city from the air and shot into the city. The shells were intertwined and made a horrifying sound. More shells hit the original gap, and the city walls continued to collapse, becoming a steep slope and a gentle slope.

After a series of cannons, the infantry swarmed out and rushed up the slow slope against the wooden boards with wet quilts. The city's Folang machine and the tiger squat cannons roared, and clusters of bullets hit the city. The musketballs were arranged in a linear array and shot at the gap. However, the government troops attacked decisively without retreating, and died, climbed up another group, attacked for a while. The government troops killed many casualties at the gap in the city wall, temporarily stopped rushing and retreated.

Taking advantage of this, dozens of red cannons fired at the city one after another, and the shells continued to hit the gap. The revolutionary army's red cannons also began to shoot at the Ming army's artillery positions. However, the number was insufficient, and there was no way to suppress the artillery fire outside the city. After a moment, the artillery fire outside the city suddenly stopped, and the Ming army infantry that had just retreated rushed up like a tide.

Both sides were fighting for the gap. Dozens of official troops had climbed up, but there were a roulette of guns, which were directly shot into sieves, but the one behind followed closely. Seeing that the Ming army would not retreat, no matter how they fired or shot with guns, it was useless, so Li Xin winked at his left and right.

The personal guards flapped the flag.

On both sides of the gap, the revolutionary army soldiers pushed the clay pot containing concentrated sulfuric acid directly down. The clay pot shattered while rolling down, and the sulfuric acid splashed everywhere. Then it was bombarded with the red cannon, splashing the acid liquid out of a larger range. Many Ming soldiers were stained with sulfuric acid and rolled in pain.

Huang Degong noticed this situation and waved his hand again.

The official army artillery fired again, and shells flew up to the top of the city to attack the people guarding the city left and right. The battlements were smashed one by one. Any soldiers who could not retreat were killed by artillery fire and the sulfuric acid tank could not be thrown away.

The battlefield situation returned to its original state, with fierce confrontation between the two sides, with heavy casualties and no concessions.

"Commander-in-Chief, should you block the gap?"

Zhang Quan asked Li Xin.

Zhang Quan's soldiers were infantrymen. In the revolutionary army sequence, he found that their use was getting smaller and smaller, and he felt very depressed. He also wanted to be valued, and at the same time he had a knot. After all, when he was in prison, Li Xin was almost hanged by him. Although he dared not have the idea of ​​betraying Li Xin, he wanted to make more contributions to dilute the impact of that matter on himself!

Li Xin turned his head and looked at him, pondering: "There is no need to let the brothers die. Anyway, the Ming army can't rush over. After this battle, we can get a long rest period, so I want to expand the scope of the musket regiment and transfer your infantry regiment to the musket regiment at that time."

"Get orders!"

Zhang Quan was shocked and then he clasped his fists.

Li Xin smiled and patted Zhang Quan on the shoulder. His eyes were both pure and trustworthy. Zhang Quan's nose suddenly felt sore. Nothing needed, everything was gone.

The battle continued. At nearly noon, the official army launched several fierce attacks, rushing towards the gap without hesitation, but never breaking through the revolutionary army's musket team. The expected hand-to-hand combat never started. After all, no matter how fierce the red cannons were, there was a range limit, and the shells could not hit the musketeers.

Because there were too many people dead, blood flowed like a river along the slow slope at the gap, and the corpses rolled under the city, piles of them, and the top of the city were also full of corpses, and there was no time to transport them away.

Huang Degong clearly felt that the spirit of the entire army had gradually faded away without the attack of three attacks, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Huang Zhentai, stop the troops."

Shi Kefa could also feel that the situation was not good, so he turned to persuade him.

"The Emperor..."

Huang Degong hesitated.

Shi Kefa took a deep breath: "All responsibilities shall be borne by our department. Then Li Xin is indeed a general. Your Huang Degong's soldiers are among the few elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. You can no longer let the soldiers die in vain!"

"Caofu!"

Tears oozed out of Huang Degong's eyes.

"Get back!"

Shi Kefa urged with a stern face.

"Retreat!"

Huang Degong shouted fiercely, and in that voice, there was both the depression that could not be defeated by Li Xin and the sincere admiration for Shi Kefa!
Chapter completed!
