Chapter 240 Entering the city
After the old man in red robe fell down, there was a chaos on the top of the city.
"This Li Xiake knows magic! He pointed an arrow and Lord Zhang fell down!"
"Shoot the arrow! Don't let him get close!"
These people were unable to understand the scene just now. I don’t know why Li Xiake’s bow and arrow had not been shot out, so Lord Zhang fell to the city wall. With their insights at this time, they could only contact the magic, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why this situation occurred.
The officers and soldiers on the top of the city were also in chaos. Under the command of the commander, they bent their bows and arrows and shot at the people under the city.
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Guards were prepared at this time, but there were not many casualties, but they retreated dozens of feet.
"Dare you still dare to resist?"
Li Xiake looked at the officers and soldiers on the city, couldn't help laughing, and immediately ordered his subordinates to "Let the people from Shenji Camp push our cannons over! Is this person guarding the city deliberately funny or sincerely create trouble? He doesn't know how powerful our cannons are? How can a mere city gate stop the bombardment?"
Cao Shaoqin said, "Maybe it's because of other intentions?"
Li Xiake smiled and said, "What is he trying to do? Do you just think it's fun?"
Under his command, the soldiers of Shenji Camp quickly pulled more than forty cannons under the city. After adjusting the angle, part of the cannon muzzles aimed at the top of the city and part of the cannon gate.
There was a riot on the city wall again.
A man in armor leaned over from the top of the city and shouted, "Li Xiake, do you dare to shell the capital? What is the difference between you and a rebel? You are the one who left Beijing to quell the rebellion. Have you become a rebel now?"
Li Xiake laughed loudly, "Wang Yanping, you are so brave. You always kneel down to salute when you see a certain family. Today, you are hard-working, right? You are so brave! Zhou Huaian's 100,000 troops have been eradicated by me! It's ridiculous that you idiots still think that a certain family has lost a battle. What kind of defeated army have you seen? "
He took out the bow and arrow again and said lightly, "I will give you a stick of incense. You open the city gate. I will not blame you for this matter. If you are still obsessed with it, I will settle the accounts with you after I enter the city!"
The city suddenly became quiet.
At this time, the group of people standing on the city had time to carefully look at the army led by Li Xiake, but these troops were disciplined and walked in an orderly manner, without any defeated soldiers. What was particularly obvious was that they pulled out forty-seven cannons, but now they still pulled back, not even a single one.
You should know that this cannon must be at least two or three thousand kilograms when transporting it. When the two sides fight, the army led by Li Xiake will be defeated and it will be impossible to care about these cannons when they escape.
Many people on the city wall saw the scene when these cannons were pulled out. They knew that the animals were walking slowly to pull the cannons. Now even the forty-seven cannons were pulled back intact. It can be seen that Li Xiake and others were fighting with the rebels. Even if they were defeated, they would not be defeated miserably.
Moreover, looking at the morale of the soldiers under the city, it didn't seem like they were defeated. The row of people on the top of the city were a little panicked and looked at each other in a stern manner. The two officers who were leading the army looked at each other, and a bearded man whispered, "Did he really defeat the rebels of Zhou Huaian?"
Another old man with white beards snorted, pulled out the long sword around his waist, and whispered, "How powerful is Zhou Huaian coming from the east? Datong and Taiyuan two important towns can't stop him. How can Li Xiake stop them?"
When he said this, his face was gloomy and said, "There is no turning back when the arrow is drawn. Even if Li Xiake really defeats Zhou Huaian, we can only defend the capital. If he is allowed to enter the city now, all of us will not have a good end..."
puff!
Before the old man could finish his words, a cold light flashed suddenly, and the next moment, there was a blood hole in his throat. The old man covered his throat with his hands, his eyes burst, and he fell to the sky.
Buzz!
After the cold light passed through the old man's throat, it was nailed directly to the city wall. Looking closely, it was a canine-toothed barb arrow. At this time, the entire arrow shaft had already shot into the city wall, and only the white feather behind the arrow shaft was still outside.
The bearded officer was so scared that he suddenly fell down and hid in the battlements. After shaking, hissing, "Li Xiake, didn't you say you would give us a stick of incense to consider time? Why did you kill Lord Zhou now?"
Li Xiake under the city wall slowly lowered his bow and said lightly, "I changed my mind! One stick of incense lasts too long, I'm too lazy to wait outside. Either you open the door now or be killed by me. You can choose two paths yourself."
He chuckled and ordered the subordinates behind him, "Children, let these men on the city see our archery skills!"
During the three years of governing the Chaogang, Li Xiake taught many good players in the Jinyiwei and the East Factory. These people were first-class in terms of their immediate skills and their combat skills. Now, after Li Xiake's teachings, their cultivation has further improved.
After hearing Li Xiake's orders, more than 100 black flag soldiers came to the front of the formation and bowed to Li Xiake. Then, they looked up at the top of the city. More than 100 people bent their bows and arrows and shot at a group of officers and soldiers on the city wall.
In an instant, the sound of breaking through the air sounded at the same time, with a huge harsh sound. The feather arrows turned into phantoms and headed straight to the defenders at the top of the city.
The cavalry took action, and it was rare that they were uniform. From the salute to the bend of bows to the shooting of feather arrows, these more than a hundred masters were as if they had been tempered thousands of times. The movements were neat and without any deviation, which was shocking to see.
At this time, they were under the city, a distance from the city wall, and were already outside the range of the archers on the top of the city wall. The difficulty of these hundreds of archers under Li Xiake's men was to shoot feather arrows to the top of the city under such circumstances is imagined.
Among the masters trained by Li Xiake, there are only a hundred people who can achieve this level, and there are still a few more skilled people in front of him. They are still watching in the capital at this time, but they should take action now.
Puff puff puff!
Blood splattered on the top of the city, and people screamed and fell from the top of the city from time to time. Thrilling shouts and howls were endless. The officers and soldiers standing in the first row of the city, under the rain of arrows under Li Xiake, almost no survivor was shot through by sharp arrows and died in a bad life.
There was a chaos at the top of the city, and the surviving officers and soldiers behind were running left and right like flies. Even if the guards scolded him, they were still panicked and could not calm down.
After a while, the city gradually became quiet. After a group of archers stood on the battlements, they began to shoot arrows under the city. However, the bows and arrows were not powerful and the range was not far. Except for a limited number of feather arrows that could shoot in front of Li Xiake and others, the rest disappeared before the target and fell to the ground.
Just these people were shooting arrows at the city nervously, the sound of "Zhazaza" sounded, and the suspension bridge on the city gate was actually put down in the horror of the defenders at the city gate.
More than a dozen big men riding tall horses and wearing embroidered red robes ran out of the door, guarded both sides of the city gate, and shouted loudly, "Please enter the city by the governor!"
Li Xiake laughed and pointed his spear at the city gate. "Okay, come into the city!"
