Suddenly, a man wearing a black gauze and a civilian uniform appeared in the city and shouted outside the city, "Presumptuous, how dare you shout like this here? Is it possible that you are the person under the supervisor's account, and I dare not condemn you?
The man who pretended to appease the official looked up and saw that it was a civil official. He immediately guessed that this person must be the person in charge of Fengxiang City. Maybe he was the head of the family. Although he scolded the dog official in his heart, he still pretended not to make a bad appearance. He quickly hugged his fist and said, "Who is the adult?"
"I am Li Bingcheng, a magistrate of Fengxiang!" The civil official standing on the tower replied loudly.
"It turned out to be Lord Li, I'm offended! The little one didn't know that Lord Li was here. He was so offended by what he said just now, but the little one was really helpless. After all, he had his life. The governor asked me to escort these people back to his hometown and pass through here. He needed food here. I hope Lord Li won't delay, so as not to let these chaotic people cause trouble. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be big. People can't absolve themselves from the blame! I hope that adults can send out the food as soon as possible to feed these people. After they are full, it will be a good morning!" This pretending appeasement official was also a clever man. He pretended to be respectful and said to Li Bingcheng in the city.
Li Bing pretended to be difficult and said to the city, "I'm afraid it won't work!" Recently, there have been a lot of local bandits, and the ground is not calm. Although you are right, I dare not be careless. After all, these people outside the city are just subdued. If I open the gate, once I am taken advantage of it, the county will immediately die, and I am a great crime!
Therefore, I dare not open the gate easily! However, I also know that you are in a dilemma, and I know that this matter is of great importance. Well, you take some people with you. I make people put down the hanging basket and let you wait for you to enter the city. After ordering all the grain, you can take the food out of the city, so that you can do both. If you can, you bring people up. If not, then I can only focus on guarding the city! Even if the governor is to blame, I am not afraid that I can't explain it!"
Many people standing under the city heard Li Bingcheng's words clearly, and many people involuntarily turned their eyes to Li Zicheng's position. Li Zicheng secretly scolded, 'The dog officer is really cunning!' But there is nothing he can do. It seems that it is impossible to easily deceive Fengxiang's gate this time.
Li Zicheng's thoughts turned around, and immediately made up his mind. He secretly called a subordinate named Tian Hu and whispered to him. Tian Hu nodded, immediately found more than 30 people in the crowd, asked them to hide the knife under the clothes behind them, and strode out of the crowd. The pretending appeasement officer whispered a few words.
"Since Lord Li said so, the small ones are also understandable. After all, there are so many exiles outside the city, but Lord Li can understand that they are not worried, and the small ones are not difficult for Lord Li. In this case, the small ones can take some people to the city to receive grain! The little one picked out 35 people to go to the city with him. What do you think of the adults? The pretending appeasement official looked up and shouted at Li Bingcheng on the tower.
Li Bingcheng looked at the more than 30 people standing out, with a sneer on the corners of his mouth, but he still answered, "Of course, it's best to do this. Everyone is not embarrassed!" Come on, get off the hanging basket and pull these people up!"
In a short time, more than a dozen hanging baskets were lowered from the wall. The "Mr. Liu" sat head in a hanging basket. Then the people led by Tian Hu also sat in the hanging basket. The officers and soldiers above shouted their horns one after another and pulled them up. Then they put down the hanging basket and pulled out the rest of the people one by one. Go up the wall.
Li Zicheng stared nervously at the movement on the city wall. He estimated that the number of officers and soldiers defending the city here was not large, and Tian Hu was also a tough general. This time, more than 30 people who chose to go to the city were good at it. As long as the officers and soldiers in the city were not well prepared, after they entered the city, they suddenly made trouble. More than 30 people were completely In order to control the gate, as long as these people open the gate for a moment, then he can rush up and rush into the gate. At that time, Fengxiang will naturally become his bag.
Although Li Zicheng's abacus was jingling, he did not expect that everything he had already been seen through by Li Bingcheng in the city.
After Tian Hu took people to climb the wall, he looked around and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The dog officer who should have come to greeted them, when he saw that they had already reached the city, he suddenly retreated behind the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers on the wall were all very bad-looking and not good. Yi's eyes looked at them, and the officers and soldiers on both sides of the city wall were also surrounding them with knives, guns and crossbows.
Tian Hu stared and shouted, "What does this mean? Why don't you send the food! But so..."
"Shut up! What do you want to do when you wait for hidden weapons to come to the city? You are a group of bandits, and you really deserve to kill! I actually want to cheat me! Come on, take down these damn bandits to me. Those who dare to resist, kill them without mercy!" Li Bingcheng, who hid behind the officers and soldiers, suddenly shouted violently, interrupted Tian Hu's words, and ordered Tian Hu and his party to take down.
At this time, Tian Hu realized that the other party should have seen through their identity. He shouted in his heart that it was not good, so he did not dare to hesitate. He reached out and took out the hidden knife from under his clothes behind him and shouted, "Brothers, do it quickly!"
As soon as his words fell, the rest of his men who followed him to the city were also shocked. They quickly drew knives from behind and rushed to fight with the officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers in He Naicheng were already ready. As soon as they launched, a group of crossbowmen who surrounded them immediately pointed the crossbows at them and opened their bows and arrows one after another. For a moment, the arrows flew across and shot into the crowd of Tian Hu and his party.
When Tian Hu and others came up, in order to hide their identity, in addition to bringing a short knife, it was impossible to bring a shield, and it was impossible to wear armor. Although Tian Hu and his men were very fierce, they were shot by the officers and soldiers with arrows at such a close distance. They had no chance to fight back at all. The arrow was hit, scolded and screamed and fell to the ground.
Poor Tian Hu has been following Li Zicheng to fight south and north for several years. His work is quite good, but under such circumstances, the archers of the officers and soldiers have already stared at him as the leader and focused on shooting arrows at him. Even if he gives birth to three heads and six arms, he can't stop such a dense rain of arrows, just a little resistance. Two arrows shot at him were knocked out, and several arrows were shot into his whole body in an instant. He staggered on one knee and fell on the wall.
"Dog officer! I won't let you go! I'm going to kill you!" Tian Hu cursed and struggled to stand up and pounced on Li Bingcheng, who was hiding behind the crowd. However, as soon as he stood up, a group of officers and soldiers with knives and guns swarmed up and surrounded the remaining people in the middle. The knives and guns were raised together to kill them.
Tian Hu had no chance to resist at all. He was pierced into his body by several long guns at the same time, pierced him several times, and suddenly sprayed a mouthful of blood, and his body slowly softened. The knife in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. Looking at the people who followed him, they were also stabbed to the ground one after another, including the one who pretended to be An. The man who touched the official was also hit by several arrows, and was stabbed on the shoulder by the officers and soldiers, and fell into a pool of blood.
Li Zicheng led the crowd to wait outside the city, expecting Tian Hu to lead people to control the gate. However, when they saw Tian Hu and his party go to the city, the head of the city was suddenly in chaos, and then shouting something shook the sky, and an angry scolding and scream spread to the city.
Li Zicheng's face changed and he shouted, "It's not good! Let's be fooled by dog officials!"
As soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, several cannons in the city suddenly spewed out a flame and raised a piece of gunpowder smoke. The sound of rolling cannons suddenly spread all over the world. Several shells then fell into the crowd of Li Zicheng's subordinates outside the city, and suddenly opened several bloody roads in the crowd, and the broken meat of the person who was shot. Blood soared into the air, and pieces of flesh and blood splashed out everywhere.
Then a row of officers and soldiers who were already prepared and the brave crossbowmen stood at the mouth of the stack, shot at the bottom of the city with arrows one after another, and the firecrackers and bird guns also began to sound at the same time, and the arrows and cannons fell into the crowd of Li Zicheng outside the city one after another, and there was a ball of blood fog.
Li Zicheng and his men were caught off guard and immediately suffered a big loss. Dozens of people fell in an instant. The rest of them quickly retreated one after another. They were expelled from the city wall and retreated hundreds of steps outside the city. However, dozens of bodies were left under the city and several injured people lay in a pool of blood and screamed loudly.
In a short time, dozens of long guns were erected in the city. There was a bloody head on the tip of each long gun. It was not someone else, but the head of 36 people, including Tian Hu, who was sent by Li Zicheng to seize the door. Their headless bodies were lifted up by the officers and soldiers and were thrown directly from the wall and fell heavily. On the solid land under the city walls.
"Damn dog officer, he actually cheated us! Pass the order, forcibly attack the city for me, and take this city to avenge the Tian brothers!" Li Zicheng retreated from the city wall under the protection of Li Guo and others. He stood outside the city and shouted loudly to attack Fengxiang County.
For a moment, the sound of killing outside the north gate of Fengxiang County shook the sky, and the sound of cannons kept ringing. The two sides launched a fight. The rebels also took out the hidden bows and cannons one after another, set them up and opened fire on the wall. It was difficult for the two sides to kill for a while.
He Nai Li Zicheng came to Fengxiang County this time. He originally planned to open the city gate and then seize the county. He did not prepare any siege equipment at all, so even if it was to attack the city, he could only temporarily piece together some simple equipment, which could not take advantage of it at all.
Even if there were many people led by Li Zicheng, the officers and soldiers were condescending and completely occupied the advantage of the location. Li Zicheng could not attack the wall at all, but he paid a heavy price of casualties in a short time, and the morale of the rebels suddenly fell a lot, especially It was some newcomers who had just joined the group and did not dare to come forward at all. Li Zicheng launched three strong attacks in a row, but it was ineffective at all. Every time he was beaten back by the officers and soldiers waiting in the city. He failed to stick to the edge of the wall and had to retreat temporarily.
No matter how angry Li Zicheng is, this time their plan to come to Fengxiang County has gone bankrupt. Looking at Li Zicheng, who was furious, Gu Junen, who came with the army, slowly walked to Li Zicheng and said to Li Zicheng, "General, don't lose your calm because of anger. Gu thinks that he can't continue now. The strong attack went down. I didn't bring the siege equipment, and the army has just experienced a defeat in the carriage gorge, and the army is unstable. If we continue to attack here, we are bound to lose a lot. I hope the general will think twice and go back. Don't be angry! Let the brothers die for nothing!"
Li Zicheng gradually calmed down at this time. He was angry that he not only failed to deceive his opponent this time, but also fell into being fooled by his opponent. He gave Tian Hu and more than 30 good people to the officers and soldiers for nothing, so he just lost his calmness and ordered to attack Fengxiang County. Now he saw several times in a row. The second strong attack didn't get any advantage. If you continue to take care of Jun En, you will only lose soldiers in vain, and it is impossible to capture Fengxiang County.
After figured out this point, Li Zicheng sighed heavily and nodded, "Sir, you are very right. If it goes on like this, you really can't conquer Fengxiang County!" So, from the gentleman's point of view, what should we do now?
After thinking about it for a moment, Gu Junen said to Li Zicheng and said, "Gu came here with the general this time. Along the way, he heard from the newly collected soldiers that there was a pole in Yanyang County, which recently came to Fengxiang Prefecture, known as the Xing Tianjun. It was very powerful. Some time ago, they defeated the largest gentry Zhuangzi in Fengxiang, and then even Two defeats of the officers and soldiers of Fengxiang Mansion made the officers and soldiers of Fengxiang Mansion unable to fight!
Since our army is short of food now, we might as well go to Liyang County and get in touch with the Xing Tianjun on the road. Maybe we can get some help from them! If it goes well, in the name of the general and the king, maybe they will submit to the general. Even if they refuse to invest in the general's account, they will not sit idly by in the name of the general and the king!
Even if the worst thing is that they are unwilling to give us some grain, then our military strength can sweep away the large households in Yanyang, and we can still get a lot of grain for our military use!"
