Ming Zuo

Chapter 397 Revenge
The city wall was blown down, and Laizhou City lost its most important means of defense.

But the soldiers and civilians in the city had no time to think about it.

The offensive and defensive battle has been fought for so long, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and it has long been an endless blood feud.

When Yang Yufan was still awake, Du Speng Youmo had already acted.

"Come with me and plug the gap."

When Peng Youmo brought people to the gap, the vanguard of the rebel army had already rushed into the city, and the leader was Chen Shishi.

The last time the city wall collapsed, it was the two of them who fought for their lives at the gap.Now that the enemy meets, he is particularly jealous.

Looking at the scattered troops around Peng Youmo, Chen sometimes showed a hideous look.

"Kill me!"

He personally rushed to Peng Youmo with his own soldiers, and wanted to kill this great enemy with his own hands.

Peng Youmo didn't have any fear.

Anyway, the city wall has been broken, he has no way to escape, only to fight to the death.

But Peng Youmo's soldiers were too few, and as soon as they fought, they were defeated by the rebels.

At a critical moment, General Li Jing came to reinforce and barely maintained the front.

However, when Peng Youmo breathed a sigh of relief, he did not notice that the rebels had brought the tiger squat gun to the gap, and aimed the muzzle here.

After more than a dozen thunderbolts rang out, Peng Youmo and Li Jing were all shrouded in dust.

Chen was sometimes very vicious, ignoring the comrades who were mixing with the defenders, and the artillery fire went down, and the defenders' defense line collapsed immediately.

The morale of the rebels was boosted, and they rushed into the streets and alleys of Laizhou like a flood from a sluice gate.

Only then did Yang Yufan come down from the city wall.

But the city was completely chaotic. He couldn't give orders at all, and he couldn't organize his troops. He could only rush around with the people around him.

The soldiers and civilians in Laizhou City did not give up their resistance, and they would inevitably die if they surrendered anyway.

The two sides began the most brutal street fighting.

The eunuch Xu Deshi, who was in charge of guarding the East Gate (Chencheng Gate), and Laizhou Prefecture Tongzhi Kouhua led more than [-] soldiers and civilians, and they were stuck in front of Donglai Academy.

All armed with long guns, they did not give in an inch, pushing, crowding, and rebels stabbing each other.Soon, a wall of corpses was piled up on the street.

Xu Deshi was a eunuch, but he was braver than anyone at this time, screaming and shouting.

"We old and young masters can't retreat, we are fighting with dog thieves."

He and a eunuch are so heroic, the Laizhou military and civilians are greatly encouraged.The person in front falls, and the person behind makes up for it.He persisted for more than an hour, but he didn't let the rebels go any further.

Kong Youde then entered the city, and seeing the stalemate here, he immediately called in archers, climbed to the roofs on both sides, and shot arrows at the defenders from a height.

Xu Deshi was shouting and fighting, when an arrow struck from the air and penetrated his chest.

The dense wall of people in the defending platoon made the archers of the rebels not need to aim at all, but only needed to shoot arrows.

After several waves of arrow rain, the defenders were less than a hundred people.

Kou Hua was like a hedgehog, still standing at the front.He had lost so much blood that he couldn't even lift his arm.

When the rebels rushed up, he was still muttering and shouting to kill, and then his head was chopped off by the rebels, and he died heroically.

The resistance of the military and civilians in Laizhou was very tenacious and tragic, but I have to say that the absence of Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian had a huge impact.

For example, Zhu Wannian was the official stationed at the South Gate (Jingyang Gate). He died outside the city, and there was no leader in the South Gate.

The soldiers and civilians on the city wall were working hard to defend the enemy outside the city, but the rebels came from behind.Under the enemy's belly and back, he immediately became a mess.

The rebels from outside the city poured into the city wall more and more, and the resistance became weaker and weaker.

In the end, the li-long city wall was full of the corpses of the defenders.Both men, women and children, all suffered by the rebels.

The West Gate (Wuding Gate) where Yang Yufan was stationed was the furthest away from the collapse of the city wall. When he got down from the city wall and rushed to the Drum Tower in the city, he collided with the rebels head-on.

There were not many personal soldiers around Yang Yufan, and he was soon surrounded.

He was fearless and fought bravely, and dozens of rebels died under his sword.

But no matter how brave a person is, his strength will be exhausted.Just as he was desperately fighting, the sound of hoofs was like thunder in the distance, and a steed rushed past him in an instant.

The knight on the horse held an iron spear and pierced his chest with lightning speed.

The warhorse was castrated unabated, and led him back all the way, and finally collided with the wall of the Drum Tower.

The head of the iron spear pierced into the wall, and also nailed Yang Yufan to the wall.

Even so, Yang Yufan still wielded his sword and wanted to fight.

Mao Chenglu ran over, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't stop laughing.After grabbing a long spear, he stood where Yang Yufan couldn't reach, and stabbed him on the body one by one.

Yang Yufan turned into a blood gourd, still staring at the tiger's eyes, cursing endlessly.

Yang Yufan's personal soldiers desperately tried to save them, but after all, the number was too small, and they were all chopped up in the end.

Mao Chenglu had been teasing enough, and then he ordered: "Set me on fire and burn this bastard to death."

The rebel soldiers brought rapeseed oil and poured it all on Yang Yufan. Then a rocket was fired, and a generation of famous generals fell into the sea of ​​​​fire and eventually became grievances.

At the North Gate (Dinghai Gate), the inner eunuch Zhai Sheng and Laizhou Tongju Ren Dong were still fighting hard to keep the city wall intact.

"Lord, look!"

Ren Dong turned around in amazement, but saw that the Drum Tower had been surrounded by raging fires, and the dark plumes of smoke were like dragons soaring into the sky.

In a city, the drum tower must be in the center.Once it is damaged here, there is no need to say what it means.

Zhai Sheng crawled over, one hand was broken.

"Master Ren, what should we do?"

Ren Dong wiped his eyes, knowing that things were impossible, and shouted, "Open the city gate and break through!"

Thousands of soldiers and civilians on the entire northern city wall are no longer desperately defending the city.Now they are desperate to find a way to survive.

The north gate was opened, and before the rebels could be happy, Ren Dong and Zhai Sheng rushed out with the defenders.

This group of people was like a mad tiger, and they suddenly drove the rebels to pieces.

By the time Geng Zhongming came over, they had already reached the shore of Yeshui.

"Surround them."

Under Geng Zhongming's order, the rebels began to squeeze in from all directions.

There are fewer and fewer people around Ren Dong and Zhai Sheng. If this goes on, everyone will die here.

But there was nothing they could do except fight hard.

"Sir, cross the river."

A woman ran over and yelled at Ren Dong.

Ren Dong wiped the blood from his face and said with a wry smile, "I can't make it through, we're all going to die here today."

The woman grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Sir, can you avenge our Laizhou elders in the future?"

Ren Dong didn't understand why she said that.

But when he saw the woman's movements, Ren Dong completely froze.

I saw the women, old people, and children who were protected by the men behind them, all walking towards the middle of the river, arm in arm.

Thousands of people did not say a word, their footsteps were extremely firm.

There is a river as a moat, but people's hearts become smooth.

Soon, the rolling river water was completely blocked by countless corpses, and crossing the river was finally able to do it.

The people who were still alive wiped away their tears as they followed this human-human passage to escape the siege of the rebels and reached the opposite side of the Tuck Water.

The rebels chased to the river and were also stunned by this scene.

Geng Zhongming looked at the old and young women and children who were hugged tightly until death, and he used to regard them as pigs and dogs. For some reason, a cold air rushed to his mind from the soles of his feet.

Ren Dong was the last to cross the river. Looking at the lives that were alive not long ago, he knelt down by the river on the spot, and kowtowed with those who were still alive.

When he got up, across the river, he stared at a pair of bloody eyes, as if he wanted to firmly remember Geng Zhongming's appearance.

"Geng Zhongming, wait, I, Ren Dong, hereby swear in front of all the elders of Laizhou, I must eat your flesh and drink your blood in this life. If I don't take revenge, I will serve all men as slaves and women as slaves. Prostitutes, eternal life can not be detached!"

Geng Zhongming was frightened by the suffocating suffocation, and he stopped unsteadily.

He watched Ren Dong and Zhai Sheng go away with the surviving Laizhou soldiers and civilians.

It was not until the early morning of the second day that the fighting in Laizhou City gradually ceased.

The distraught rebels almost killed the city.

Of course, the Laizhou military and civilians who resisted to the end also caused huge casualties to the rebels.

With more than [-] casualties, the rebels are also very tired, and they are tired of even venting their anger to kill.

But in any case, before the world-famous Guan Ning army arrives to break through Laizhou, the rebels finally have no worries and can prepare to fight with all their heart.

Under such circumstances, a small flag ran to Kong Youde.

"Master, there are a few people who want to ask to see you."

Kong Youde swallowed the meat in his mouth, and said with a savage smile, "I only thought of surrendering at this time. Is it bad to bully me with the Dongjiang knife?"

The little flag hurriedly said: "Those people said that they blew up the city wall."

"kindness?"

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others were quite surprised and said, "Let them come over."

After a while, several civilians were brought forward, and they fell to their knees neatly.

"Caomin Bu Shiren pays respects to the commander."

Kong Youde looked at the other party and saw that Bu Shiren was young, but there was a shrewdness hidden in his expression.The rest of the people were dressed as servants, and their trembling appearances were not worthy of attention.

"You said you blew up the city wall? Tell me, what did you do?"
