Chapter 1193: The End of the Strong Crossbow

Outside the south gate of Linyun County, Chen Guangzong and Gu Chen looked at the fire-lit city with expressionless faces, and the expressions on their faces were extremely solemn.

It is already three o'clock now, and three or four hours have passed since the city gate was blown open, but due to the desperate resistance of the Ming army in the city, the Japanese soldiers and Japanese who attacked the city have not been able to break through the defense line of the Ming army, so naturally they cannot reach the small courtyard where Li Yuntian lives.

Not only the soldiers of the Sailor Division, but also the soldiers of Songjiangwei unexpectedly showed tenacious combat effectiveness due to Li Yuntian's presence, which greatly surprised Chen Guangzong and Gu Chen.

According to Chen Guangzong and Gu Chen's plan, the Japanese soldiers and Japanese soldiers who were attacking the city should arrive at Li Yuntian's place within two hours, which made the two of them feel a little restless in their hearts, but they didn't expect the Ming army in the city to be so tenacious.

"My lord, our army has attacked the periphery of the mansion of King Zhong of the Great Ming Dynasty, and is now fighting fiercely with the Ming army guarding there." Soon after, a fast horse came from the city, and the soldiers on horseback jumped down and knelt on one knee and shouted a loud message.

"Pass the order and attack with all your might." Chen Guangzong suddenly perked up when he heard this, and gave an order in a loud voice, he finally had good news after waiting for a long time.

However, unlike Chen Guangzong, who looked excited, Gu Chen's brows were tightly furrowed, after all, he had been fighting with Li Yuntian for a long time, so he naturally knew that Li Yuntian would definitely arrange heavy troops around the mansion, and it would take twice as long to break through the Ming army defense line in front of him, so how easy was it to capture the mansion?

Gu Chen could guess that an incomparably cruel offensive and defensive battle would break out around Li Yuntian's mansion, and Li Yuntian, as the prince of Daming, would definitely not break through easily, which meant that Li Yuntian would mobilize all his forces to fight a decisive battle with Chen Guangzong's men.

In the blink of an eye, a trace of morning light appeared in the eastern sky, and it fell on the gate tower of the east city of Linyun County under the cold night.

After a night of fierce fighting, the noisy county seat of Linyun County gradually fell silent, and the Japanese people who besieged the city and the Ming army defending the city seized this rare opportunity to rest and prepare for the final decisive battle.

The neighborhood of Li Yuntian's residence was already strewn with corpses, rivers of blood, and corpses were poured everywhere, including Japanese and Ming soldiers, as well as young and middle-aged people with weapons in their hands.

Around the neighborhood where Li Yuntian was located, the Japanese and the Ming army launched a fierce competition, and the Japanese were only more than ten meters away from Li Yuntian's mansion when they were close, but in the end they could not get close to the mansion, and were driven back by the reinforced Ming army and the people.

"My lord, those people in the city are crazy, and they are still swarming after the blades of their lowly duties have been chopped up." In a private house in the south of the city, a bloodied Japanese general knelt on one knee and reported to Chen Guangzong, who looked gloomy, that it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and that the soldiers and civilians in the city seemed to have forgotten what death was, and rushed to the Japanese soldiers and Japanese invaders.

"Rubbish!" Chen Guangzong's face turned cold when he heard this, and he kicked the general to the ground, and yelled at him with a hideous face, "This domain will give you another chance, if you can't catch the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty, you will apologize!" ”

"Hey!" The general got up from the ground, wiped the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth, bowed to Chen Guangzong, got up and hurried away.

"Damn!" Chen Guangzong smashed his fist on a big tree on the side, and he found that he had not only underestimated the soldiers of Songjiang Prefecture, but also the people in the county seat of Linyun County, and fought against the Japanese people in order to protect Li Yuntian, which in turn brought great trouble to his subordinates.

"Brother, we can only stay here for one hour at most, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the Ming army reinforcements."

Gu Chen, who was standing on the side, frowned when he saw this and reminded Chen Guangzong that according to the original plan, they should have started to evacuate now, you must know that this is in the Daming realm, and at this time, the entire Songjiang Mansion must be shaken by the battle in Linyun County, and it is not easy for them to evacuate.

What is particularly important is that the Ming naval division will definitely block the sea, and if they cannot evacuate by boat in time, then these Japanese soldiers and Japanese will be surrounded and annihilated.

"If you don't kill someone surnamed Li, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart." Chen Guangzong sneered when he heard this, took out the sword hanging from his waist, and strode out of the courtyard gate.

"This madman!" Looking at the back of Chen Guangzong's departure, Gu Chen was slightly stunned at first, and then couldn't help but burst out of his mouth, it was obvious that Chen Guangzong didn't think about the lives of those Japanese people at all, and did not leave a way for those Japanese people to retreat.

"My lord, what shall we do?" A big man stepped forward and asked Gu Chen in a deep voice.

"Li Yun's destiny should not be broken, we can't stay and accompany those widows to die." Gu Chen groaned slightly, and said to the big man with an expressionless face, "Tell our people, leave here immediately." ”

Then, Gu Chen looked in the direction where Li Yuntian's mansion was located, with a gloomy look on his face, he knew that it would be difficult to find another opportunity to assassinate Li Yuntian after this failure, maybe this was the will of heaven.

"My lord, what do we do with the rest of the explosives? Do you want to give it to the surname Chen? The big man bowed down and asked.

"No, the person surnamed Chen is a madman, and handing it over to this kind of person will only cause casualties." Gu Chen shook his head and said with a serious expression, "Hide those explosives, and they may come in handy one day." ”

"My subordinates understand." The big man bowed his hand to Gu Chen and replied in a low voice.

Gu Chen still had the last batch of explosives in his hand, which he originally wanted to use in the battle to attack Li Yuntian's hiding place, but judging from the current situation, this batch of explosives was no longer useful, and handing them over to Chen Guangzong would only kill and injure some soldiers and civilians who protected Li Yuntian.

Chen Guangzong soon learned about Gu Chen's departure, and he didn't care much about it, so he sneered disdainfully and continued to command his men to launch a final attack on the soldiers and civilians guarding Li Yuntian.

For Chen Guangzong, Gu Chen's role was only to blow up the city gate of Linyun County, and the soldiers who participated in the attack were all Japanese under him, so Gu Chen's departure did not weaken his strength, but only made Chen Guangzong despise Gu Chen's personality in his heart, thinking that he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Under the personal supervision of Chen Guangzong, the war in the county seat of Linyun County was ignited again, and the Japanese people rushed to the defense line of the Ming army and civilians in the city with the weapons in their hands, and the two sides were soon entangled together, and the screams and wails came and went.

"Lord Wang, this attack of the Japanese people is menacing, and the Lord must prepare early." More than half an hour later, the sky was already bright, Lin Xin pushed open the door of Li Yuntian's room, and reported to Li Yuntianyu, who was standing in front of the window looking at a big tree in the courtyard.

Because Chen Guangzong put all the troops at hand into the battle this time, it was difficult for the Ming army and people to resist, and after a bloody battle, he retreated to the street only twenty or thirty meters away from Li Yuntian's mansion, so Lin Xin had to come to talk to Li Yuntian.

"Suppress the guards, the enemy has now reached the end of the crossbow, and they must be beaten down by this morale." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, turned his head and instructed Lin Xin, "In addition, send a signal to tell the soldiers and civilians of the whole city that the whole line is counterattacking, and this king will close the door and beat the dogs to encircle and suppress them in the city." ”

"Subordinates obey." Lin Xin bowed when she heard this, turned around and walked away quickly, and soon three red signal flares screamed from the courtyard into the sky, and then three beautiful fireworks bloomed in the air.

"Brothers, it's time to fight back, kill!" After seeing the fireworks in the sky, the military attaches of the Ming army rushed to the warring Japanese with their weapons, which made the soldiers and civilians in the city suddenly boil, and they followed behind like a tide to launch a charge.

The Xiaowu Army has been established for more than ten years, and not only the army of the Wutang family, but even the guards of the Ming Dynasty know that once Li Yuntian orders to attack on all fronts, then even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front, they must rush forward, otherwise it will be a cowardly battle and will be judged by military law.

In fact, the melee in Linyun County has continued until now, and the emotions of the Ming army and civilians have already been mobilized, and their minds are in a state of high excitement, which makes them forget the fear of death for a while.

Li Yuntian stood quietly at the window looking at the big tree in the courtyard, he was not ordering the establishment of a military and civilian counterattack for no reason, after a night of fighting, those Japanese soldiers and Japanese soldiers were exhausted, and their morale gradually declined, while the fighting spirit of the Ming army and civilians was still high, after all, they knew that reinforcements were coming, so they could maintain high morale.

Therefore, Li Yuntian decided to give the Japanese soldiers and the Japanese soldiers a head-on blow, as long as their last morale was defeated, then the melee in the county seat of Linyun County would come to an end.

Li Yuntian is no stranger to the situation in front of him, from the ambush of the Han King in Heiniu Town to the later battle of the ancient city of Dunhuang, he has experienced too many soldiers in the danger of the city, so he has already been in danger and not surprised.

Moreover, Chen Guangzong had now exhausted his hole cards and could no longer pose a threat to Li Yuntian, so Li Yuntian naturally would not worry about the development of the battle situation.

"Lord, we can't stand it, let's withdraw." In the face of the counterattack of the Ming army and civilians on the whole front, especially the sharp attack of the guards around Li Yuntian, the Japanese who had become the end of the strong crossbow could not resist and soon suffered a rout.

"Li Yuntian!" Chen Guangzong was less than a hundred meters away from Li Yuntian's mansion at this time, and he could clearly see the bricks on the courtyard wall, but unfortunately he couldn't take a step forward, because the front was full of soldiers from the Ming army, his fists were clenched together, and he looked at the mansion with gritted teeth, he didn't expect that the surprise attack he had spent so much effort planning would fall short, which really made him unwilling.

"Lord, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, and the little ones will escort the lord to evacuate, as long as the lord can kill the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty one day." A Japanese general standing behind Chen Guangzong with a bandage on his left arm stepped forward and persuaded Chen Guangzong in a deep voice, it was obvious that they were no longer able to kill Li Yuntian.

"Withdraw!" Chen Guangzong gritted his teeth, and a word burst out coldly from his mouth, although his behavior was crazy, he was not a madman after all, and he knew that if he continued to fight, he would be trapped and die in Linyun County, so the gains would outweigh the losses.

As the injured Japanese general said, he still has a lot of power in the Japanese country, there is no need to fight Li Yuntian in this place, as long as he can escape with his life, there is still hope for revenge.

With Chen Guangzong's order, the crowd of Japanese people at the scene escorted him to flee outside the city, which meant that his sneak attack would end in failure.
