Standing on the steps of the lobby of the General's Mansion, Liu Jianye listened to the cries of killing outside the city and clearly felt that the Ming army's attack on the city was a weak bluff.

Immediately he stamped his feet: "You little King Ding, you have tricked me, but you don't really attack with all your might to help me out, you are going to kill me."

The brother next to him reminded: "General, King Ding thinks we are returning to the city. Maybe that bastard Dang Shouyi didn't attack us, so King Ding only made a test attack. We have to inform them that we have rebelled."

Liu Jianye suddenly realized that, yes, although King Ding had planned to harm him, he had not made an appointment in person, so he was not sure. He launched an siege outside the city just as a test. This doesn't work, I have to tell him that I was harmed by him.

"Come here, set fire to the lobby of the General's Mansion, and notify outside the city that we are rebelling. Let King Ding seize the opportunity, and we will cooperate internally and externally to capture Taiyuan City."

In the blink of an eye, the lobby of the General's Mansion burst into flames, reaching into the sky.

Lu Mou really had no plan to attack Taiyuan to the death. His original plan was to sweep the surrounding areas and let Wu Sangui leave a force to monitor Taiyuan.

When the surrounding areas are completely captured, the isolated city of Taiyuan will finally be obtained naturally, but it will take time.

But this time, he set a big trap for Liu Jianye. If not for the sincerity of the ancients, he really didn't realize it. He actually returned to Taiyuan City calmly. If Liu Jianye goes away, he may be in bad luck.

Bullying honest people is a crime.

However, in order to enhance the effect, Lu Mou decided to add more firepower and ordered Wu Sangui's entire army to attack the city in a posture agreed with Taiyuan. This can be regarded as a try to hit three poles with or without dates.

Wu Sangui spent so long that while sending Guan Ning to sweep around Taiyuan, he also made preparations to attack Taiyuan.

He had built enough siege equipment and was waiting for Taiyuan to be completely isolated before launching a siege.

Therefore, although Lu Mou's military orders were issued hastily, they were also dispatched with great force. The soldiers shouted, pushed the ramming carts, pushed the arrow towers, carried the ladders, shouted to kill, and with the firm steps of old ladies with little feet, they began to attack the city aggressively.

However, my throat was broken by shouting, and I saw that after three steps of charging, I almost rushed to the Taiyuan moat, but there was still no movement in the city.

Lu Mou was discouraged and disappointed. It seemed that he had always miscalculated, even though he had always planned to trick everyone. The party is not stupid to keep its righteousness.

Alas, it’s because I’m doing things too smoothly, I’m proud, and I’m too confident. Honest people are not that easy to cheat. Forget it, the time is not yet ripe for a real attack on the city, so let's plan for it slowly.

So, he raised his hand: "Ming——"

"Your Majesty, there is a fire in the city, and the general's palace in the city is burning." Standing on the high watchtower, the observation post observing the movement in the city shouted a report below.

Lu Mou was overjoyed when he heard that his plan to bully honest people was successful. Immediately ordered: "Beat the drum and order the entire army, including Guan Ning, to dismount and attack the city with all their might."

Hundreds of large drums beat together, it was really earth-shattering. Wu Sangui did not expect that the regent's plan was so successful, and his whole body was shaking with excitement. The opportunity is fleeting, so why not attack the city with all your might.

He shouted an order from his horse: "General Guan Ning, all dismount and attack the city." Still feeling that this was not enough, he raised his horse and galloped in front of the army, shouting while galloping: "Brothers, our response in the city has been launched. La. Work harder, cooperate inside and outside, and win Taiyuan in one battle."

Lu Mou also climbed on Dahei and led Dabai in front of the battle formation: "Kneel off the city bravely, and whoever gets to the city first will be rewarded with a thousand silver coins and promoted to the third level. Brothers, be reborn for the Ming Dynasty and charge forward."

The roar of hundreds of drums instantly ignited the blood of the soldiers. When they heard that there was an internal response in the city, they immediately became full of confidence in taking Taiyuan. The stimulation of a thousand silver dollars filled their bodies with strength, and their promotion to the third level immediately made them salivate. Yes, when you upgrade from soldier to company commander by level three, you can eat two dishes per meal.

What you eat is not food, it is authority, dignity, and honor for your ancestors.

The entire army, including horsemen, cooks, and even a few civilians, rushed forward. Taiyuan City launched frantic attacks from all sides without priority.

Countless ladders were thrown on the moat, countless soldiers rushed across the moat, countless ladders were erected on the top of the city, and countless soldiers climbed up. In the blink of an eye, the entire Taiyuan city wall lost its original color of blue bricks and turned into the dark red of the Ming army's mandarin duck coats. In a short time, it was dyed dazzling blood red by the blood. Now the Taiyuan garrison has dispatched 5,000 troops to suppress Liu Jianye, and the remaining 12,000 troops are distributed on the city wall with a circumference of more than 7,000 meters. There is already a serious shortage of troops.

The fusiliers standing under the city wall, as well as the soldiers on the archery tower that was one section higher than the city wall, kept firing at the bandits who wanted to throw stones and shoot arrows, and the bandits running on the city wall. Let their losses be no less than those of the Ming army attacking the city.

And just then. Seeing the fire in the General's Mansion, the Jinyiwei spies hiding in Taiyuan City immediately took action. It doesn’t matter whose house it is, just click on it.

And those merchants and gentry who were forced to pay by the bandits became even more ruthless. Anyway, my family is already ruined, so if I want to build a dilapidated house or shop, I should light it on fire.

Immediately, fires and smoke broke out everywhere in Taiyuan City. There were shouts of kill everywhere.

Outside the city, there were desperate sieges and shouts of killing, while fires broke out everywhere inside the city, and the shouts continued. Liu Jianye became even more determined and led his brothers to defend the general's mansion. He encouraged his brothers loudly: "Brothers, King Ding of the Ming Dynasty, no, our regent is attacking the city with all his strength to support us. We are killing the thieves. As long as we insist on destroying the city with our army, I will ask for a reward for our brothers."

The thief shouts to kill the thief, which is a strange thing in the world.

But at this time, Liu Jianye's department already regarded himself as an official soldier.

While marching in cooperation with Lu Mou's army, they saw how the officers and soldiers were treated, what they ate and drank, and how much they were paid. And looking at myself, the clothes and equipment are still the same as before. They were tortured and paid, but all the proceeds went into Dang Shooyi's pocket, and everyone still had no money. Although three meals a day are guaranteed, they are not as good as pig and dog food. Everyone has been complaining for a long time.

In fact, when they returned, some soldiers did not want to come back and wanted to defect to the Ming army directly.

One is that his eldest brother Liu Jianye is so loyal that no one can bear to betray him, and the other is that the Ming army doesn't seem to take a fancy to his group.

But even if you can't join the Ming army in the end, returning to your hometown with the reward and contracting the land for farming is still a very attractive option.

Under Liu Jianye's encouragement, his brothers became more motivated and fought harder.

On the other hand, Party Shouyi is now in dire straits.

The battle here cannot be fought for a long time, and even if the city top calls to kill Zhentian, it is impossible to mobilize troops from the city gate to quickly deal with this place, nor can it mobilize troops from here to go to the city for reinforcements.

There were fires everywhere in the city, shouts of killing were heard, and no one knew how many rebels there were.

I grit my teeth and mobilized a hundred-man team here to suppress the rebellion in the city. I don't know if they were annihilated or if they saw that the situation was over, they simply dispersed and ran away, never to be seen again.

Just when he was at a loss, suddenly, a huge cheer from the Ming army rang out from outside the southern city wall, and a faint and orderly shout came: "Go up, go up, the city is broken."

There were cheers here, and then there were uniform cheers from the east: "Step on the city, step on the city."

Dang Shouyi staggered, and his eyes couldn't help but darken. It was over, he had messed up the matter, and the city of Taiyuan was destroyed.

Street fighting? Don’t even think about it. Now there is fire and smoke in the city, and there is no telling how many rebellions there are. If you want to hide in a courtyard and fight with the Ming army in the streets, the rebellion in the courtyard will be able to wipe out you first in the blink of an eye.

Street fighting requires a mass base.

Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet: "Bring the gold and silver -"

The gold and silver are all in the general's mansion. "Forget it, call all the troops and we'll break out from the west gate." (End of Chapter)
