Chapter 22: Raid on Xiangcheng The power of shaking the earth

Not far away, Xiao Tongde was now completely frightened, and he couldn't believe that his general could make such a big movement with just a few buttons, this is the real earth-shattering, even if he was far away, he felt the violent shaking of the earth, and his ears were even completely unconscious!

"What are you doing? Dog, run! ”

Just when Xiao Tongde was in a daze, Zhu Jie had already run in front of Xiao Tongde, and shouted angrily, this kid is a little silly, since the explosion was successful, why don't you hurry back and ride a horse and prepare to command the battle?

"Ahh Yes, yes! Yes, General! ”

Xiao Tongde barely reacted from the shock, nodded hurriedly, turned around, and ran towards the back.

Later, when several thousands of households were pondering what means the general would use to collapse the city wall this time, two loud noises came, followed by flames!

Wiped it!

The general actually did it!

Several thousands of households are battle-hardened generals, so naturally they are no strangers to explosions, such a violent explosion, if it can't break the city wall of a small county town, then it's hell!

Several people barely suppressed the horror in their hearts, and roared angrily: "Order, the whole army will go out, charge, and directly attack Xiangcheng!" ”

Thousands of cavalry rushed towards Xiangcheng like a mad rush!

Xiangcheng, Li Zicheng is sleeping, this time in order to rush to the aid of Baofeng, sent out 20,000 cavalry elites, 60,000 infantry elites, 80,000 troops, mutual support, even if they encounter an ambush, as long as Liu Zongmin and Li Guo are not dizzy, they can also defeat the opponent, smoothly gallop to help, and even deploy properly, a few words to defeat the Ming army may not be impossible.

But Li Zicheng didn't expect that at this time, someone would be so bold as to dare to attack Xiangcheng!

Just when it was sweet, two violent explosions completely woke Li Zicheng from his dream!

Li Zicheng jumped up and roared angrily: "Come on, come on, what's going on outside!" ”

As he spoke, Li Zicheng had already come to the door, pushed the door open, and saw that the west was still in flames, and the miserable screams kept coming into his ears!

"King Chuang, King Chuang!"

A guard rushed in and said urgently, "King Qizuo, I don't know what is going on in the direction of Xicheng, there was a violent explosion suddenly, and a large part of the city wall was blown down, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties!" ”

West Side? Explode?

Li Zicheng was stunned for a while, there is no gunpowder in Xicheng, and all the gunpowder and ammunition in the army are in Beicheng!

"Are you sure it's Xicheng?"

Li Zicheng asked.

The guard said bitterly: "King Chuang, don't you know if you look at this firelight, isn't this the direction of Xicheng......"

Just when Li Zicheng was surprised, a burst of rapid horses' hooves came over.

Thousands of cavalry launched a surprise attack together, where can the momentum be small? The whole earth is trembling!

"Not good!"

Li Zicheng has been a great enemy for a long time, and he reacted when he landed, the sound of horses' hooves, and the cavalry sneak attacked!

An ominous thought flashed through Li Zicheng's mind!

"Quick, immediately send an order, all departments immediately rearm for battle, it must be a surprise attack by the Ming army!"

Li Zicheng secretly regretted it in his heart, he was a little too big, and transferred 80,000 main forces in one go, but he didn't transfer another part of the troops from the periphery to defend the city, and now the strength of the entire Xiangcheng is only about 10,000 people, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled second-line troops, such a lineup wants to deal with tonight's enemy raid, but it is a little difficult......

Of course, it is difficult, and now Zhu Jie is commanding five or six thousand cavalry to launch a fierce attack on Xiangcheng!

The city wall on the west side of Xiangcheng was blown down by a miniature bomb for more than ten zhang in one breath, and almost none of the invading troops on the city wall survived, even if they were not killed, they were also killed or stoned to death in fear, and this area has become a vacuum in defense!

By the time the nearby intruders reacted and ran over to block the gap, thousands of cavalry were already close in front of them, and a few miles away, for the cavalry who charged with all their might, it was just a blink of an eye!

One by one, the cavalry of the Ming army was majestic, and under the horrified gaze of the breaking army, they jumped over the collapsed city wall, entered the city, and began to launch a thunderous offensive against the breaking army!

At this time, the army had already been in a mess, and it was impossible to resist the offensive of the Ming cavalry, and under the crazy offensive of the cavalry, it collapsed at the touch of a button, and fled in all directions.

As soon as Li Zicheng's order was given, a guard stumbled over!

"Chuang Wang, Chuang Wang, the big thing is not good, the Ming cavalry raided the west city of Xiangcheng, our city wall collapsed mysteriously, and was swarmed by the cavalry, we couldn't resist the attack of the Ming army at all, and the entire Xicheng had fallen into the hands of the cavalry......"

"Ahh

Li Zicheng was shocked, although he had already made some mental preparations, but such a bad situation was still out of Li Zicheng's imagination, and as soon as he conveyed the order, the Ming army had already occupied Xicheng!

"King Chuang, King Chuang!"

Li Yan and Song Xiance hurriedly ran over.

"King Chuang, the cavalry of the Ming army is unstoppable, we rushed to the battle, we can't resist it at all, I'm afraid this Xiangcheng can't be saved......"

Li Yan said astringently.

Li Zicheng was furious and shouted: "! Why can't you stop it? Could it be that our tens of thousands of troops are eating dry food? Rush up to me all of them, even if it is death, you must withstand the attack of the Ming cavalry, and Xiangcheng will definitely not be lost! ”

"King Chuang, even if we are desperate, we can't keep Xiangcheng, these damn Ming troops, they used so much gunpowder, and in one fell swoop blew our city wall out of a gap of more than ten zhang, and the cavalry swarmed in, where can the infantry in our city resist, King Chuang, we only have to retreat first, if we don't retreat, I'm afraid that we won't be able to run if we want to......"

Song Xiance's face was full of bitterness, until now he didn't understand how the gunpowder of the Ming army was buried under the wall of Xiangcheng, and if he wanted to blow down such a large area of the city wall, it was impossible to do it without two or three hundred catties of gunpowder, but the righteous army didn't even notice it before!

It's hell alive!

Internal? It's impossible, the entire Xiangcheng is under the control of the rebels, where does the internal response come from? And even if there is an internal response, it is impossible to bury hundreds of catties of gunpowder under the city wall without knowing it!

Li Zicheng said angrily: "Retreat? Old Song, you let me retreat? How did Lao Tzu withdraw? In this Xiangcheng, there is two months' worth of grain and grass for our army! This is our lifeline! You say, how to withdraw! ”
