For two days, the Hongyi cannon transported by Taiyuan has not yet arrived, Kong Youde is not anxious, Wu Shan defeated the Ming army in Qingyuan, and then the news that the remnants of the Ming army fled from Jingcheng in a hurry has reached Xinzhou, he now holds a cat and mouse mentality, accompanied by the defenders in the city only besieged and not attacked, he believes that it will not be long even if the cannon is not available, the city should be exhausted.

Sure enough, in the past, the city would set up cannons to shoot at the city every day to achieve the purpose of deterrence, but on this day, the city was dumb, and Kong Youde could guess with his toes that their cannons were out of gunpowder, or that there was nothing that could be used as cannonballs.

"Siege!"

At the sound of an order, the thieves rushed towards the mottled and broken city walls of Xinzhou City.

At the head of the city, Master Guo watched in despair as the overwhelming thieves used the city wall, the Ming army defending the city had been consumed to the limit, and he was not sure whether Xinzhou City would be able to withstand this wave of attacks. Soon, the thieves carrying the siege ladder ran to the city wall, and the three-zhang high ladder was firmly set on the city wall, and the thieves and ants climbed the ladder to the city. This time, Kong Youde built enough ladders to build a ladder on the city wall almost every few steps.

The Ming army defending the city was as usual with several people working together to knock down the three-zhang high ladder with a long wooden pole, but this time it was too much, and a large number of thieves climbed the city in just a moment, and quickly gathered together, and expanded to both sides in groups.

The two sides launched an unprecedented hand-to-hand battle on the city, and for a while, the flesh and blood in the city were flying, and Master Guo had long been accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, and he was ready to rush up to make up for the knife at any time with a Yanling knife. Tian Fuzhen also carried a Yanling knife in his hand, but he rushed forward without thinking about it and killed among the thieves. The Ming army was already defeated and retreated, and the addition of the main general suddenly shocked the morale of the Ming army, and forced the thieves back in one go.

The two sides are in this way in the city repeatedly tug-of-war, you go further, I take a step back, or you take a step back, I go further, and soon the city is full of bloody corpses, Master Guo finally couldn't bear it anymore, rushed forward with a knife, and joined the battle group like Tian Fuzhen.

But this time, the thief soldier seemed to be unable to kill cleanly, the more he killed, the more he killed, the more brave he became, Tian Fuzhen could feel that his Yanling knife was chopping and curling again, and the thief still had no tendency to exhaust his strength, and he had a deep premonition for the first time that this time Xinzhou City might not be able to be saved.

With this thought, Tian Fuzhen was relieved, and finally wanted to leave a name in history, he and the Ming army finally overcame the fear in their hearts and persevered to the end, martyred the country, and died a well-deserved death!

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! ”

Tian Fuzhen shouted every time he slashed out, at this time he no longer cared about slashing and smashing the sword and mace towards himself, and put on a desperate posture, the Ming army around him was deeply infected by the main general, and he also shouted a thief every time he made a knife, and in an instant, thousands of mouths on the city wall spoke in unison, killing thieves everywhere, and even Master Guo was infected, doing the final battle of trapped beasts.

Unexpectedly, the desperate posture turned out to be very effective, and the arrogance of the thief soldier suddenly became shorter, and he couldn't help but retreat step by step. However, the thieves finally had the advantage of being outnumbered, and as the fighting time grew, they forced the defenders back little by little. Tian Fuzhen's outburst just now was already the end of the crossbow, looking at the soldiers who kept falling around him, his heart was dripping blood, was he finally going to fall? For a moment, he asked himself, still unwilling.

But just when Tian Fuzhen completely gave up hope, the offensive of the thieves suddenly became weak, and even had a tendency to retreat, and he couldn't believe that a large number of thieves were scrambling to climb the ladder and go down the city.

This made Tian Fuzhen puzzled, what happened to make the thieves fall short, he believed that as long as he held on for a little longer, Xinzhou City would probably change hands. However, in the blink of an eye, the thieves were crushed, scattered and fled to the city, and once the will to fight was lost, they were immediately suppressed by the defenders. The shape shì was actually reversed at the most unlikely time.

The rumbling sound of the cannon gave Tian Fuzhen a positive answer, and an uncontrollable tear in his eyes was like the tide of a broken embankment, and the muddy old tears finally came out of his eyes, and his eyes were blurred in an instant.

"General, general, you're back!"

When Master Guo saw that he had killed the thieves and did not die, his body suddenly lost his strength, and the whole person fell crookedly on the city wall, and listened to Tian Fuzhen's indistinct voice muttering something back, back.

"Who's back?"

What answered Master Guo was the clear sound of the cannon, and he finally understood that it was the Three Guards who had returned, otherwise how could the thieves who had already attacked the city fall short and fall short when they had the advantage!

At this moment, Kong Youde under the city also panicked, "Where to put the cannon?" Where to put the guns? ”

According to Kong Youde's knowledge, there could be no Ming army within a radius of hundreds of miles, but the sound of the cannon was deafening, and he saw that the thieves in the city had been routed for thousands of miles, and today's siege battle was a complete failure, and the mood was extremely defeated, so he had to order the troops to be withdrawn, and at the same time let people figure out what was happening on the periphery. The thief soldiers on the inner and outer three layers surrounded Kong Youde in the center, making him unable to see the situation outside, and he suddenly had an illusion that he seemed to have lost control of this thief army, and he had lost control of everything......

Kong Youde's feeling is very accurate, the thieves on the periphery have indeed begun to scatter and flee, one of the reasons is that a Ming army with scarlet battle flags suddenly appeared in the south, and they formed an unprecedented phalanx, shouting in unison, and they are approaching step by step. At the forefront of the phalanx was a cannon that could shoot hundreds of shells with one shot, firing a cannon every few steps, and killing and wounding one after each shot!

But I saw that the scarlet battle flag was embroidered with a big plum character. Kong Youde's pupils shrank sharply, and he seemed to have seen the most terrifying and unbelievable thing in the whole world. He roared over and over again in his chest, impossible, impossible, Li Xin had already escaped from Jingchengkou, how could he return to Xinzhou again?

Despite his 10,000 disbelief, the Three Guards had advanced close enough to the thieves, only to see them halt their advance, followed by a sudden barrage of muskets, one, two, three...... The battlefield was filled with smoke that barely stretched out your fingers.

The thief army was caught off guard, and could not organize an effective counterattack at all, so they began to rout, scattering and fleeing, no matter how Kong Youde restrained him, no one listened to his orders, let alone fought against the Ming army.

Looking at the thieves who were scrambling to flee for their lives, Kong Youde only felt a chill, it was over, this time he was completely defeated, but he didn't expect to lose to the surname Li in the end! Running for his life mattered, and he only used the blink of an eye to change from fighting to the death to fleeing for his life.

Kong Youde mixed in with the thieves under the escort of a small number of personal soldiers in a vain attempt to quickly get out of the battlefield, don't look at the more than 20,000 people under his command, now the chaos is trampling on each other, and the casualty rate caused is not much worse than the attack of the Ming army.

The Kongzi banner fell down again in the rout of thousands of troops, and I don't know who suddenly shouted.

"Prince Kong is dead, Prince Kong is dead!"

Kong Wangye is Kong Youde's nickname in the thief army, everyone calls it so in private, Kong Youde knows it, the thief soldiers heard that the main general has died, and then see that the general flag has really fallen, and he doesn't dare to fight, but he was angry and smoked, and shouted loudly: "I am Kong Youde, I'm not dead, don't mess up, don't mess up, don't mess up!" ”

No one paid attention to Kong Youde's shouting in his throat, he looked up to the sky and sighed, after all, the army was defeated like a mountain, the big thing is gone, run for your life!

This Ming army was Li Xin's Three Guards, and they successfully avoided Wu Shan's pursuers, crossed the deserted mountains, and finally returned to the city of Xinzhou. Tens of thousands of thieves were in a mess, and it was not so easy to escape even if they were huddled together, so they became the ready-made human targets of the musketeers of the Three Guards Army. With each salvo, a large number of people fell in the midst of the dense bandits.

Under the double blow of muskets and cannons, some thieves soon couldn't bear it, knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender, begging for forgiveness from the Ming army and sparing their lives. However, Li Xin did not give the order to stop firing, and the platoon guns of the Three Guards continued to fire round after round. Now he can't stop even if he wants to, and once he stops shooting, he is likely to be hit by those headless flies, and then it will be dangerous.

Therefore, it is not that Li Xin is fond of killing, and the non-stop shooting is not only to kill the enemy, but also to protect himself.

The battle, which was akin to a massacre, did not end until the sun went down, and a large number of thieves died under the city of Xinzhou, while a large number of thieves surrendered. They finally let Kong Youde run away, and Lu Jiu chased him for dozens of miles with his cavalry tail before returning, but he still failed to catch his shadow.

Looking at the bloody Tian Fuzhen, Li Xin's voice couldn't help but choke a little.

"I'm late!"

It is precisely because of Tian Fuzhen's self-sacrifice that the Three Guards Army was able to open up the situation in Shanxi, and so far tens of thousands of enemies have been annihilated, which will surely bring great trouble to Liu Guoneng. Master Guo, who was overdrawn, was in tears, and he was able to escape, he could no longer suppress his tears of excitement, and pulled Li Xin to tell him about the dangers of the past few days.

A plan has already taken shape in Li Xin's mind, and returning to Xinzhou is just the beginning...... The people of Xinzhou City had long since fled, and he decided to completely blow up the walls of this important town when he left, and must not fall into the hands of thieves again......

Suddenly, someone asked to see Li Xin outside the city, and this person brought a message and a token, which surprised everyone, the king of Jin was still alive, and he was taking refuge in Lan County in the northwest at this time. What this person relied on was a seal, so Li Xin immediately went west to protect the King of Jin!
