Chapter 152 The Death of Li Jiucheng

Yu Xiaotian shouted twice in a row to keep up, which was a very rare thing in front of the army, so the Yu family did not dare to neglect it. The reserve team shouted wildly and rushed towards the wall.

And the artillery immediately heard the order, used artillery, pointed the muzzle at both sides of the place where the wall was fighting fiercely, and began a rapid fire.

The shell roared like the laughter of death and hit the city wall, rushing from both sides to the rebels at the lost place. Even if they were cut to the ground like mowing grass, the rebels killed and injured Chen Ji on the wall.

Li Jiucheng shouted loudly and led his own soldiers from the direction of the gate tower to the scene of the accident. A shell flew over. Li Jiucheng was completely unprepared and was hit by a shell. This shell was not a 12-pound gun, let alone a 24-pound heavy gun, but the smallest-caliber gun among the artillery of Yu's army. A shell fired from a six-pound gun.

Li Jiucheng was directly cut off by the roaring shell, and his upper body fell to the ground with a plop, and his lower body actually ran two steps forward before falling softly.

Li Jiucheng was hit by a shell from his waist, and the intestines and internal organs in the whole abdominal cavity immediately flew away from his body, and an intestine was still hanging on the neck of a relative soldier next to him, causing the soldier to exclaim.

This is simply the waist cut of the cannonball version. Li Jiucheng's upper body fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, he was not dead for a while. He didn't know where the knife was lost. He lay on the ground and screamed like a pig. He twitched in pain, pulled his scattered internal organs in panic, trying to stuff his internal organs back into half of his body, and towards the lower half. He climbed there, leaving a wide scarlet blood road behind him.

His own soldiers were also stunned and didn't react for a while. What should they do? They just looked at Li Jiucheng, who had become half, and climbed towards his lower body, but they didn't know what to do.

Li Jiucheng screamed all the way, climbed all the way to the front of his lower body, stretched out a hand, and grabbed one of his legs tremblingly. Then he lay on his back to the ground and suddenly shouted, "What a retribution! ......”

When the retribution was not finished, he swallowed his last breath with his eyes open.

"All handsome... All handsome... All handsome don't die! They are all handsome..." It was not until this time that his own soldiers reacted and rushed to Li Jiucheng's side and cried loudly.

As soon as he heard that Li Jiucheng was dead, the heart of the rebels suddenly collapsed. It was said that Li Jiucheng's position among the rebels was higher than Kong Youde. In fact, this rebellion was secretly provoked by Li Jiucheng. Otherwise, Kong Youde would not have finally chosen to rebel.

And after the rebellion began, Li Jiucheng took advantage of his prestige among the rebels to become the control of the rebels, while Kong Youde was still under him and wanted to obey his orders.

The biggest culprit of this Denglai Rebellion is actually not Kong Youde, but Li Jiucheng, and this hero Li Jiucheng has finished his life today, and his life is also remarkable. Before the rebellion, he was the main general of the Dongjiang army who followed Mao Wenlong and followed Mao Wenlong in Liao. The battle in the south and north of the Eastern Peninsula has made a lot of achievements.

But after Mao Wenlong's death, Li Jiucheng could not be reused by Yuan Chonghuan. He was excluded from the Dongjiang army and finally defected to Sun Yuanhua, but this man was very ill. He was good at gambling, and he was lustful. Sun Yuanhua gave him money and asked him to go to Malaysia to buy horses. He went with money. After that, he played with women, gambled, and was cheated and lost the money.

On his way back to Dengzhou, he didn't know how to explain the matter to Sun Yuanhua. He happened to encounter Kong Youde being forced by Wang Xiangchun's family in Wuqiao County, so he used Kong Youde's men to force Kong Youde to rebel and try to force the court to muddle through a mutiny. .

This Denglai Rebellion caused huge losses to Daming, destroyed the layout of Daming in Denglai, destroyed the entire army and military system of Denglai, and also caused a political and economic catastrophe in the whole Denglai region. Countless people died because of this catastrophe.

But now Li Jiucheng was killed by Yu Jiajun and died on the wall of Dengzhou.

As soon as Li Jiucheng died, the rebels in the south of the city immediately became in chaos. Chen Guangfu, the rebel general, learned that Li Jiucheng was dead, so he took over the command and continued to summon the rebels to resist. However, Li Jiucheng's death made the rebels collapse and morale fell sharply. Yu's army took the opportunity to expand the results on the wall and launched a fierce attack on both sides of the wall. The rebels On the wall, it is retreating, so that more and more soldiers of the family have been able to climb this wall.

Chen Guangfu saw that the situation was not good and did not dare to retreat. He desperately supervised the battle, forcing the rebels to go up the wall to block the attack of Yu's army. The two sides continued to fight to the extreme blood on the wall.

At this time, the eastern part of the city wall of the south gate suddenly shook violently. A section of the wall was like the back of a dragon. It suddenly came back and arched upward. The originally strong wall was suddenly covered with spider web-like cracks.

But this wall was only slightly arched upward, and then immediately fell back. Almost in an instant, a huge muffled sound came out of the ground, and this wall collapsed like a landslide.

In almost a few seconds, a wall of about 50 meters turned into a pile of ruins and collapsed, causing a huge gap in the originally very complete wall.

Yu Xiaotian stood in the army outside the city and observed the wall that was rising a huge amount of dust, so he clenched his fist, shrank back to his waist, bent his legs and made a strange posture, shouting, "Okay! The engineering company has finally made some achievements! Haha! Beautiful!"

He then burst into laughter, his proud look was full of words, and he couldn't hide anything.

It turned out that when the family army launched the siege of the city, the engineering company was also thrown into the battlefield by Yu Xiaotian. This was the first time that the engineering company cooperated with the infantry to attack such a strong city.

The engineering company is another trump card in the hands of Yu Xiaotian. Before that, it was rarely exposed and was not conspicuous in the army.

Usually, they are mainly responsible for camping or paving the way for artillery or heavy soldiers, which seems to be basically auxiliary soldiers.

But this army is basically composed of some miners. What are miners best at doing? Of course, they can dig holes. They can't do anything else. Digging holes is their job.

When attacking the city this time, the engineering company went into battle and carried two cave cars. Under the cover of other arms, they attacked under the wall of Dengzhou and brought the cave car straight to the city wall.

The cave car is equipped with thick wooden boards on three sides, and a layer of iron sheet is wrapped on the top, which is very strong, just like a dirt tank. No matter how the rebels throw rolling stones, it will not work, but the engineers can work safely below.

At the foot of the city wall, they quickly dug into the ground with some professional tools, and then hollowed out the foundation at the foot of the city wall and dug into the city wall.

Although the rebels also sensed the movement under their feet, they had no choice but to suppress the rebels on the wall, so that they could not lean to observe the situation below, let alone take any measures against the two cave cars.

The rebels also poured some boiling oil, but they could not stop the engineers from continuing to dig holes. The rebels threw down torches and ignited hot oil, but the cave car was still covered with sand and could not burn the cave car for a while.

Later, the fire was extinguished by the Yu family army, and the rebels were even more helpless.

After the family's army attacked the other side of the wall, the rebels on this side were transferred there, so that the rebels on this side had no choice but to take the engineers below.

It took the engineers several hours to dig a big hole at the foot of the city wall.

Then the engineers carried a large number of explosive bags from behind. Of course, these explosives were still packed with some *, but they were tied up very strong and pressed. Compared with the historical siege of the peasant army and put gunpowder in coffins or wooden barrels, such explosive bags were much more powerful.

And these engineers have also received professional training and know how to place explosive bags and how to seal them so that they can maximize their power.

In fact, the weight of the gunpowder they used was not much, only about two or three hundred catties, but when it exploded, it still achieved quite good results.

The strong Dengzhou city was unexpectedly blown down more than 50 meters wide by the engineers, which is equivalent to breaking the Dengzhou city on the spot.

Many rebels on the city wall were stunned on the spot when they exploded. Some people were so shocked that their legs were broken. When the wall collapsed, many rebels were buried alive in the ruins on the spot. For a moment, the rebels were even more frightened and made a sound of exclaim.

As early as an infantry battalion waiting outside this wall, the battalion commander saw that the engineers had exploded successfully and the wall had collapsed. He immediately shouted wildly, pulled out his waist knife and roared, "Brothers, put on the bayon knife! Come with me!"

As soon as the roar fell, the battalion commander rushed out first. More than 1,000 officers and soldiers behind him immediately followed, shouting loudly one by one, rushing towards the gap...

The street fighting in Dengzhou City lasted for two days. The street fighting was quite cruel. Both the enemy and we paid a considerable price, because the rebels knew that the court would never forgive them today. Once Dengzhou was lost, they would only have one way to escape to Dongjiang Town.

After Kong Youde learned the news of Li Jiucheng's death, he officially took over the whole rebel army and became a veritable rebel marshal, but now he is not happy about this matter at all.

(Today, I will continue to pay special thanks to the three old brothers who laugh at the west wind, the eagle's martial arts, and the South-south language!)
