Chapter 218 Fire, fire at me

Xie Lian and Zhu Wancheng were ashamed and angry when they heard this, but they were not good at answering.Especially Xie Lian, if he hadn't firmly believed that Kong Youde would surrender, such a thing would not have happened. Not only has he failed to surrender, but more importantly, he himself has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and his life and death are in his own hands.

"Bah! You traitor, General Liu Yulie's tens of thousands of troops are about to arrive, and Guan Ning's cavalry is about to enter Shandong. Rebel, you won't be too arrogant to the end." Zhu Wancheng spat viciously at Kong Youde.Although he was in a desperate situation, Zhu Wancheng's integrity was not lost.

"Haha, Mr. Zhu, who did I think you were counting on? It turned out that you were counting on that stupid guy Liu Yulie. If it wasn't for them, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come out to accept the surrender!" Said: "Liu Yulie is such a fool, even if he has an army of [-] in his hands, we are not afraid. He is arrogant and cowardly, how can such a character be our opponent. Emperor Chongzhen is also blind, and let such a person Come to lead the army, don’t you think this is a ridiculous thing? As for the Guan Ning cavalry, do you think the current Guan Ning cavalry is still the Guan Ning cavalry of Yuan Chonghuan’s time?” Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde on the other side laughed loudly laugh it out.

"Hmph, Mr. Liu may not be your opponent, but what about General Li Xin?" Zhu Wancheng sneered and said, "The emperor ordered General Li Xin to manage Shandong. General Li Xin is invincible, and now he has captured Dengzhou. The back road is blocked, and there are enemies in all directions. Kong Youde, do you think you can escape now? According to my suggestion, if you surrender at this time, you may still save your life. Otherwise, as long as Li Jinglue leads the army to Laizhou, It's hard for you to die even if you want to." Zhu Wancheng had a look of disdain on his face.

"Yes, yes, Li Jinglue has already occupied Dengzhou, Kong Youde, it's still too late for you to surrender." Xie Lian stopped scolding Li Xin at this time, and instead showed hope on his face.

"Li Xin?" Li Jiuzheng's face suddenly showed a trace of panic. He was also a general in Liaodong, and he had seen how powerful Jiannu was. When fighting Jiannu, the ratio of five to one was already very high. It was extremely difficult to defeat Jiannu. , but Li Xin did it, which shows how powerful Li Xin is.The appearance of such a person in Shandong is definitely not a good thing for Li Jiuzheng who rebelled.

"Haha. Li Xin." Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming looked at each other after hearing this, and saw each other's worry from each other's eyes, but Kong Youde laughed loudly and said: "Although Li Xin is very powerful, he has no soldiers in his hands." Ma. What's more, it's hard to say whether he will save you or not. As the governor of Shandong, he is in charge of the entire Shandong affairs, especially the surrender like us. He has not had time. Respond, you just did it, you obviously didn’t take him seriously, do you think he will save such a subordinate? What’s more, I have you, I can occupy Laizhou, and if I have Laizhou, we will still be afraid of a Li Do you believe me? Zhu Wancheng, you are so naive."

"Hmph, you want to use us to occupy Laizhou. You are delusional. I, Zhu Wancheng, would rather die than submit. I will never let you, a traitor, succeed." Zhu Wancheng spat fiercely at Kong Youde.

"If you don't agree, it doesn't mean that Yang Yufan doesn't agree. If Shangguan falls, he deserves to die." Kong Youde said disdainfully.He rode forward and shouted loudly towards the top of the city: "Yang Yufan, now Xie Lian and Zhu Wancheng are in my hands. If you want to survive, open the city gate quickly. Don't worry, I only want Laizhou City, as for you , you can leave Laizhou with Xie Lian, I will not make it difficult. If you don't agree, don't blame me for missing the old love and killing the two of you."

"General Yang, I, Zhu Wancheng, was born as a member of Daming, and died as a ghost of Daming. To eat the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. With my own body, I can save hundreds of thousands of people in Laizhou, and die in a suitable place." Zhu Wancheng raised his head and said loudly.

"Yang Yufan, Xie Lian and Zhu Wancheng are Shangguans. If these two people die, even if you are alive, the Emperor Chongzhen may not be able to spare you. You should think about it." Kong Youde sat on the horse and said casually.He wasn't worried that Yang Yufan wouldn't open the city gate. With Xie Lian and Zhu Wancheng in his hands, if he didn't open the city gate, someone would come to settle accounts with him in the future.

"General, what should we do now?" Standing behind Yang Yufan, Peng Youmo asked nervously.At this time, he secretly rejoiced that he did not go out of the city with Xie Lian, otherwise, he would have been captured by Kong Youde at this time.Xie Lian and Zhu Wancheng, one is the governor of Shandong and the other is the governor of Laizhou, so they are naturally the targets of blackmail, but they are just a general, and if they are caught by Kong Youde, they will be killed by the other party if they fail, so they made a fool of themselves. There is no chance of bargaining for the target of killing chickens and monkeys.

At this time, Yang Yufan's face was also tangled, his superior was captured by the enemy, whether to rescue or not.If you save Laizhou, you will lose it. If you don't save them, these two people will be killed by Kong Youde. When the court finds out, you will still be in bad luck.

"Yang Yufan, I'll give you a cup of tea to think about it. If you haven't responded within a cup of tea, then don't blame me for being cruel." Kong Youde said triumphantly.

"This?" Yang Yufan was extremely annoyed when he heard this, he snorted violently, and punched the city wall with a fist, blood was all over his fist, but the pain was unknowable.

"Yang Yufan, listen, I am ordering as the governor of Laizhou to take over the city defense of Laizhou. Now, fire at me." Zhu Wancheng raised his head and said loudly, "Fire at me, fire at me." After walking around the entire battlefield, the faces of the frightened people changed drastically, and they looked at Zhu Wancheng one after another.I have never seen such a lunatic who actually wanted to die, even Xie Lian who was on the side was surprised.

"Zhu Wancheng, you're crazy." Geng Zhongming saw the madness on Zhu Wancheng's face, his expression changed immediately, and he whipped the horsewhip fiercely in his hand, instantly a blood stained his right cheek.

But Zhu Wancheng didn't seem to feel the pain. His eyes were red, and regardless of the escort of the rebel soldiers behind him, he roared loudly: "Yang Yufan, I, Zhu Wancheng, deserved to die. For the sake of Ming Dynasty, I, Zhu Wancheng, are not afraid of death. Are you afraid of anything? You are not worthy to fire for Yang Taibao's son, I order you to fire."

Yang Yufan's face was crimson on the top of the wall, and his tiger eyes were full of struggle.The handsome face had a painful expression, and Peng Youmo's eyes widened in anger.But I don't know what to do.It's okay for these two people to fight, but it's very difficult to deal with this kind of thing.

"Yang Yufan, Peng Youmo, fire, fire." Zhu Wancheng roared loudly.At this moment, it seemed that the entire battlefield was his voice.

"grown ups."

Seeing this, the guarding soldiers on the top of the city couldn't help crying loudly.Zhu Wancheng is different from other people. Like Xu Congzhi back then, he didn't know how much he had suffered and contributed to the preservation of Laizhou. Captured, for the people of Laizhou, in order to maintain their integrity, let Yang Yufan fire without hesitation, which is quite rare in this special era at the end of Ming Dynasty.

"Yang Yufan, you haven't opened the city gate yet, do you really want Xie Lian and Zhu Wancheng to die in front of you?" As time went by, Kong Youde became more and more impatient, and there was still a trace of fear in his heart.

"Rebel, your plot will not succeed." Zhu Wancheng cursed while looking at Kong Youde with a vein popping out of his neck.

"Gag his mouth." Kong Youde raised his whip and pointed at Zhu Wancheng.Seeing a soldier jump off the horse, he was about to gag Zhu Wancheng's mouth.

"Yang Yufan, fire me. Ugh!" Zhu Wancheng roared loudly when he saw this, but in the end he only moved and there was no sound, but from his struggling movements and the anger in his eyes, it was enough to show his thoughts .

"Yang Yufan sends you off respectfully." Yang Yufan looked at Zhu Wancheng whose mouth had been gagged, lowered his head, took off his helmet from his head, and said in a low voice.

"Congratulations, my lord." Peng Youmo also took off his iron helmet with tears in his eyes.The other soldiers did the same, but there was a burst of crying from the top of the city.

"Not good, retreat quickly, retreat quickly." Kong Youde saw it clearly, his heart skipped a beat, he couldn't help roaring loudly, turned his horse and galloped back.

Before Li Jiuzheng and the others could react, they saw the sound of "cannon firing" from the top of the city, and instantly heard bursts of roars, and saw flames popping out of the top of the city, but it was the Ming army who ignored the lives of Xie Lian and Zhu Wancheng , Blatantly fired.

"Hurry up, let's go." Li Jiuzheng obviously didn't expect Yang Yufan to be so bold, and he didn't care about the lives of Xie Lian and Zhu Wancheng at all. When he was hit by a cannonball, he looked panicked, and he didn't care about Zhu Wancheng and others.As the chief general, he never expected, let alone the soldiers under his command, that after one shot, there would be countless casualties and screams.In the smoke of gunpowder, these rebels trampled on each other, causing countless casualties. If there was a fresh army that never came from behind at this time, it would definitely defeat Kong Youde without any effort.Unfortunately, there were no such troops in Laizhou at that time.

The sound of the guns was rumbling, flames flew across the entire position, iron and stone bombs ravaged the entire position, the rebels screamed in the cannons, and bursts of gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire position.Although Kong Youde and the others were out of the range of the bow and arrow, they were within the range of the cannon. These guys ran away for their own lives, so they didn't care about other people.Those soldiers are even more so, the life of escape is the most important.
