The general, surnamed Tong, didn't care at all about his comrades' teasing of him, and snorted a few times, gradually allowing him to find the source of the smell.
He crouched down, his palms groping for the ground, and soon he felt his palms wet, as if he had touched some viscous liquid.
Then, he sniffed his fingers, which had been stained with the viscous liquid, towards his nose, and his face changed in an instant.
The next moment, the general, surnamed Tong, turned around and ran backwards, and shouted loudly: "General, we have been tricked. ”
Call!
At the moment when the general surnamed Tong Ming shouted, torches lit up on the entire north city wall of Xuzhou City, which instantly illuminated the surroundings.
The Ming soldiers who were setting up the ladder and preparing to climb the city wall along the ladder were all stunned at this time and looked up at the city wall.
"Ignition!"
With a shout from one of the White Dragon Army generals on the city wall, the white dragon general on the city wall quickly ignited the fire oil on the ground with a torch.
Whew!
When the oil was lit by the torch, it quickly burst into flames and turned into a fiery serpent that descended the city walls and spread rapidly down the castle.
At this time, such fire snakes were as many as dozens on the city wall of Xuzhou, and quickly spread to the city, and then the city was suddenly separated by a wall of fire.
And the Ming soldiers led by Liu Zeqing were separated and surrounded by fire snakes under the city.
"Gunner, fire. Musketeers, free fire. Grenadier, throw iron-clad mines! ”
Then, the White Dragon Army guard on the city wall gave the order again.
Boom Boom!
Bang bang bang!
Immediately, the guns and cannons on the city wall of Xuzhou were loud, and fireworks flashed, emitting a pungent smell of gunsmoke.
"Ahhh
Immediately, there were bursts of miserable wails under the city wall of Xuzhou, and the Ming soldiers who were hit by shrapnel or lead bullet fell down piece by piece.
The musketeers of the White Dragon Army on the city wall of Xuzhou quickly reloaded their ammunition and then fired at the dense crowd below the city.
And those grenadiers were even more crazy, they lit the iron-shelled mines, and then threw them one by one into the crowd of Ming soldiers and soldiers under the city, and exploded.
And due to the division of the fire walls under the city, many Ming soldiers can't escape if they want to.
This was a massacre, and the Ming soldiers on the city wall couldn't even resist.
After a short period of time, the Ming soldiers under the city broke down one by one, and they had no intention of fighting at all, only thinking about escaping from here, or disarming and surrendering to save their lives.
"General, the enemy army under the city has collapsed, and shooting like this will only increase the enemy's casualties.
It is better to open the gates of the city, send troops out of the city, and let them disarm and surrender. ”
On the city wall of Xuzhou, there were generals of the White Dragon Army who really couldn't stand it, this was a massacre at all, so they stood up and suggested to the city guard.
"Well, it's okay, send troops out of the city!"
The guards could also see that these Ming soldiers under the city had already collapsed, so they agreed to open the city gate and send troops out of the city to disarm them.
"Put down your weapons, squat on the ground with your head in your hands, and don't kill those who descend!"
The roars of the soldiers of the White Dragon Army resounded on the city wall.
Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers under the city, after hearing the shouts of the soldiers of the White Dragon Army on the city wall, threw the swords and guns in their hands without hesitation, and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
A moment later, the gate of Xuzhou opened, and a group of white dragon soldiers rushed out of the city gate, escorting all the Ming soldiers who surrendered into the city.
At this time, Liu Zeqing had already led a team of Ming soldiers to escape from Xuzhou City.
Liu Zeqing, as the chief general of the first army, could not rush to the front, so when the fire was lit on the city wall of Xuzhou, he knew that he had a plan and decisively retreated as soon as possible.
Most of the Ming soldiers in the back also survived.
But they looked at the front surrounded by a wall of fire, and then they were frantically shot by the musketeers and grenadiers of the White Dragon Army, and the soldiers who were killed were all cold and frightened.
In this case, the will of the soldiers under Liu Zeqing's command has collapsed, and he has no intention of fighting, and Liu Zeqing continues to lead the troops to stay, but it is useless, so he simply leads the troops to retreat.
In this battle, Liu Zeqing came full of confidence, ordered 50,000 elites, and prepared a night attack from the north and west of Xuzhou, cooperating with King De's internal and external actions.
But as a result, they fell into an ambush by the White Dragon Army, and less than 30,000 of the 50,000 troops came back.
Even the 30,000 Ming soldiers who fled back have all collapsed their wills, let alone fighting, if the defenders in Xuzhou City pursue them at this time, they will definitely flee frantically.
Don't think that there are few soldiers and horses in the White Dragon Army in Xuzhou City, but at this time, even if a thousand White Dragon soldiers are chased, these Ming soldiers will never dare to fight, and will only flee.
Once an army collapses and loses its will to fight, even if it is a group of ordinary people chasing after them, they will not dare to fight, and will only flee in a hurry.
They have become frightened birds, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.
"How so? Why did they have an ambush earlier! I can't be defeated, I can't be defeated! ”
On the way to escape, Liu Zeqing rode on a horse, roared unwillingly, and refused to accept this defeat.
"Damn Zhu Youshu, it's all him, Ben will fall for him!"
At this time, Liu Zeqing blamed all the faults on King De Zhu Youshu, and he didn't care about King De's status as the prince, so he called him by name and cursed.
And the German king Zhu Youshu had already chosen to take people to escape as soon as Liu Zeqing was ambushed.
King Zhu Youshu knew that after Liu Zeqing was ambushed in Xuzhou City this time, his desire to break through Xuzhou City was completely ruined.
Next, as soon as Li Zixiao's reinforcements arrived, Liu Zeqing washed his neck and waited for Li Zixiao's blade.
At this time, of course, King De resolutely chose to protect himself, and fled back to Jinan overnight with his people.
He didn't go to see Liu Zeqing either, King De didn't have to think about it to know that Liu Zeqing hated him to death at this time.
At this time, if King De went to see Liu Zeqing, he would be cornered if he said that he was not good, and Liu Zeqing in despair would be clicked.
In fact, the German king Zhu Youshu didn't understand in the end why their night attack failed this time.
His people had already succeeded in the rebellion in the city, but why were they the ones who failed in the end!
King De ran away, and tens of thousands of troops under Liu Zeqing were scattered overnight, and Liu Zeqing had less than 3,000 men and horses around him, and returned to the camp overnight.
But as a result, what Liu Zeqing never expected was that in his big camp, there were more desperate things waiting for him.
When Liu Zeqing led a group of remnants of the army to defeat and returned to the camp, he was suddenly surrounded by the camp's own men and horses.
"Zhou Wei, what are you going to do?"
A confidant general beside Liu Zeqing yelled at Zhou Wei.
"Isn't it already clear!" Zhou Wei rode on the horse, sneered, and said.
"Zhou Wei, you dare to betray your lord, do you want to die?"
A Ming general beside Liu Zeqing glared at Zhou Wei angrily and reprimanded angrily.
And Liu Zeqing's face at this time was as black as the bottom of the pot, staring at Zhou Wei without saying a word.
"General Sun is wrong, the general and the brothers are also for self-protection, so they have to fear adults.
As long as Lord Liu gives the order for your subordinates to lay down their weapons, this officer guarantees that he will never hurt the Lord General and the generals. ”
In the face of the reprimand of several henchmen and generals on Liu Zeqing's side, Zhou Wei was not afraid, and the entire camp was his men at this time.
And Liu Zeqing has less than 3,000 remnants around him, and he is already surrounded by his men and horses, so he has nothing to fear.
"You are planning to capture this official and ask for credit from that Li Zixiao."
Finally, Liu Zeqing, who had a black face, finally spoke after a long time, his eyes staring at Zhou Wei, eager to swallow him alive.
"Don't blame the chief soldier, it's really my lord, your trip to attack Xuzhou has made the heavens angry and resentful, and it is unpopular with the people.
I can't bear to look at the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command, and follow the chief soldier to the dark, so I have to rein in the precipice, so as to advise the lord. ”
Zhou Wei's words were very tactful, but they sounded so straightforward to Liu Zeqing.
In fact, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to tell Liu Zeqing that you lost this battle, and Lao Tzu was not willing to die with you, so he had to capture you and ask Li Zixiao for credit.
If Liu Zeqing can successfully break through Xuzhou in this battle, Zhou Wei will never betray.
"Okay, what a Zhou Wei, I didn't expect this official to be planted in your hands today."
Liu Zeqing laughed angrily and said.
"General, we'll cover your killing."
There was Liu Zeqing's henchman general next to him, and he said to Liu Zeqing at this time.
"No need, let the soldiers lay down their weapons and surrender."
It's just that after Liu Zeqing, who was disheartened at this time, laughed, he also said to his henchmen.
Because, in the current situation, it is impossible for them to kill at all, it is better to save the last face.
"Guerrilla Zhou, I'll go with you, I hope you keep your word.
These generals under the command of this official, I hope you don't embarrass them for the sake of the robes. ”
Liu Zeqing looked at Zhou Wei and said.
"Rest assured, the commander-in-chief, I promise to do what I say, as long as the adults follow us, we promise not to hurt the generals in the slightest."
He hugged his fists at Liu Zeqing and said.
Immediately, Liu Zeqing was captured by Zhou Wei, and all the soldiers under Liu Zeqing were disarmed.
At this point, before Li Zixiao led the army to Xuzhou, Liu Zeqing led an army of 80,000 to attack Xuzhou this time, which was over.
Liu Zeqing was arrested, and other soldiers and horses from all walks of life also bled under the city of Xuzhou, and they didn't want to fight for a long time, which was exactly what they wanted.
On May 10, Li Zixiao led 10,000 White Dragon soldiers and horses to land at Xuzhou Wharf by boat, and then successfully arrived at Xuzhou City.
After arriving in Xuzhou City, Zhou Qing reported the battle of the past two days to Li Zixiao.
"Hou Ye, this morning a guerrilla general named Zhou Wei in the west of the city sent someone to send a letter, saying that they had captured Liu Zeqing and were willing to surrender to Hou Ye."
"Oh? There is also this kind of thing, haha, I didn't expect Ben Hou to hear such good news just after he arrived in Xuzhou.
You send someone to pass on that Zhou Wei and ask him to take Liu Zeqing into the city. ”
After Li Zixiao heard Zhou Qing's words, he was also slightly surprised, and then he laughed and said.
Half a day later, Zhou Wei personally escorted Liu Zeqing into Xuzhou City.
"The last general, Zhou Wei, visited the Hou Ye."
"You are Zhou Wei?"
Li Zixiao sat in the hall of the mansion, looked at Zhou Wei who was saluting below, and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Master Hou, the last will be Zhou Wei."
"You arrested Liu Zeqing?"
"Yes, Master Hou."
"Why did you betray your boss and surrender to Benhou?"
"This ......, Master Hou, and Mr. Liu were also confused for a while, and they were deceived by traitors to make such a big mistake.
I really don't want to watch General Soldier Liu, and he is going deeper and deeper on the wrong path, so he has no choice but to stop General Bing in this way. ”
Zhou Wei said.
"Well, that's a good reason."
Li Zixiao in the lobby, hearing Zhou Wei's answer, couldn't help but nodded, and his impression of Zhou Wei changed slightly.
Although, Zhou Wei captured Liu Zeqing alive and took the initiative to surrender to him, which was a good thing for him.
However, in the bottom of his heart, Li Zixiao is very disgusted with this kind of person who betrays his boss for glory and betrays his boss.
But at this time, Zhou Wei did not take the initiative to fall into the trap for Liu Zeqing, but in his words, he meant to exonerate Liu Zeqing.
It shows that this person is not the kind of villain who sells his master for glory and wealth for the sake of glory and wealth, perhaps out of his own future plans, he let him arrest Liu Zeqing alive.
People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, Liu Zeqing is a big ship that is about to go silent, Zhou Wei wants to protect himself, and it is understandable to do so.
"What about Liu Zeqing?"
"Back to Master Hou, the chief soldier is outside."
"Bring him up."
"Someone, bring it."
A moment later, Liu Zeqing was escorted up by two white dragon sergeants, Liu Zeqing at this time did not wear armor, was dressed in cloth, and did not yell angrily, but was very calm.
"Mr. Liu, don't come unharmed, let's meet again."
Li Zixiao said with a smile.
"Li Zixiao, you are less hypocritical and benevolent, you become a king and lose a villain, this time it is the official who is defeated, the official has nothing to say, if you want to kill or chop, listen to the respect.
However, even if you kill the official, you can't hide your rebellion.
This official sent troops to Xuzhou this time to follow His Majesty's will to eradicate you, a chaotic minister and thief.
It's a pity that the official underestimated your strength, and you failed to do so, and you lost the emperor's grace. ”
Liu Zeqing stood in the lobby of the mansion, glared at Li Zixiao, and scolded.
In the face of Liu Zeqing's reprimand, Li Zixiao kept smiling, did not get angry, and listened quietly.
"Mr. Liu, you have a sentence that is right, become a king and lose a villain.
You fight, you do lose, and you lose.
Ben Hou originally planned to take Shandong in two years, but I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry and make a move on Ben Hou first.
This time, you led an army of 80,000 to attack Xuzhou, do you know how many defenders there are in Xuzhou?
4,000 people, Benhou only left 4,000 men and horses in Xuzhou City, and your 80,000 army was defeated in the hands of Benhou with only 4,000 people. ”
"Impossible."
After Liu Zeqing heard Li Zixiao's words, he suddenly became excited and roared loudly.
In fact, Li Zixiao knew that these words made him difficult to accept.
It was true that he was defeated, but he really couldn't accept that he was defeated by 80,000 troops to just 4,000 people.
If Li Zixiao's words are true, then this battle will become a lifelong shame for him and a laughing stock for future generations.
