The horn sounded again.
Liang Zhongshu and others on the city wall were still excited about repelling a Liangshan attack.
When they heard the sound of the horn, they couldn't help but feel startled and hurriedly looked outside the city.
I saw a group of shield soldiers coming out in front of the Liangshan Formation, all holding large shields, blocking the people behind them tightly without exposing any gaps.
As for what the shield soldiers were covering, they couldn't see clearly from the tower.
They could only vaguely see that they seemed to be very large and heavy, because it took several people to push to push one of them.
"What are they doing?
What are those soldiers pushing?"
Liang Zhongshu quickly asked Li Cheng next to him.
Li Cheng also looked down without blinking.
When he heard Liang Zhongshu's question, he shook his head and replied, "My subordinates don't know, they are too blocked and can't see clearly, but no matter what it is, as long as we stick to our own style of play, We will definitely not let them attack the city."
After listening to Li Cheng's words, Liang Zhongshu thought that he had "repelled" a Liangshan attack just now, and he felt a little relieved.
"Everyone is ready, string up the arrows, bring up the stones, rolls and logs.
They will all listen to my command and act in unity.
The thieves must not be allowed to get close to the city wall," Li Cheng shouted loudly to the soldiers.
If we go by the normal routine, there is nothing wrong with Li Cheng's arrangement.
Use bows and arrows when far away, and throw stones when close.
This is a classic way of defending the city in ancient times, but today is destined to be a day that breaks Li Cheng's conventional cognition.
Fan Rui and others each held weapons and led the shield soldiers to protect Ling Zhen and other gunners.
The artillery was very heavy, and each gun was pushed by ten soldiers.
Even so, it took a lot of effort to move forward every step.
"Stop."
When the artillery was pushed to a distance of about two hundred meters, Ling Zhen gave the order.
This distance had been calculated by Ling Zhen long ago.
Any closer would easily hurt people, and would also be easily hit by the defenders' bows and arrows. , the power of the wind cannon will decrease further.
Ling Zhen ordered his men to line up the four wind cannons, aiming at the Damingfu city gate at angles and heights.
After everything was adjusted, Ling Zhen ordered the loading of gunpowder and cannonballs.
At this time, everyone on the city wall also saw the true face of the artillery, but their knowledge of the artillery was limited.
Liang Zhongshu asked, "Is this a trumpet?"
Li Cheng is indeed a man who has experienced the battlefield for a long time.
When he saw the artillery clearly, although he was a little surprised, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After hearing Liang Zhongshu's question, he quickly replied, "Your Excellency is right, this is indeed a trumpet cannon." , judging from their intention, it seems that they want to use this cannon to attack the city."
"Oh, is it useful to attack the city from such a long distance?"
Although Liang Zhongshu was a magistrate, he didn't know much about military affairs.
"Sir, I don't know why, I have a bad feeling when I see these cannons.
In order to prevent unexpected events, your Excellency and Governor Wang will temporarily retreat to the city.
It won't be too late to come back after the subordinates have defeated the bandits."
Li Cheng said He felt uneasy in his heart.
Liang Zhongshu's heart skipped a beat after hearing what Li Cheng said, and he hurriedly said, "This is the best.
I'll leave this place to Superintendent Li."
After that, he hurried down the tower with Prefect Wang.
"Yang Zhi, you are responsible for commanding the archers, Suo Chao, you are responsible for commanding the soldiers to throw stones."
Li Cheng knew that the battle was about to start, and made arrangements again.
"Follow your orders," the two people who had been following Li Cheng said loudly.
Ling Zhen, who was outside the city, had made all preparations at this time.

He turned back and glanced at Lin Chong behind him.
Lin Chong nodded when he saw him.
"Light the fire!"
Ling Zhen received Lin Chong's signal and gave the order loudly.
"Chi" Four wind cannons were ignited at the same time.
"Cover your ears" Ling Zhen knew that the sound of the artillery was loud, so he reminded Fan Rui and others loudly.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom" four loud noises came out one after another.
Fan Rui and others were the first to bear the brunt.
Although they were notified by Ling Zhen in advance and covered their ears, their ears were still ringing because of their gross underestimation of the sound of the cannon.
Li Cheng and others on the city wall were so frightened by the huge sound and powerful impact that they turned pale because they were unprepared.
Some of the timid ones were paralyzed on the city wall.
"The city is broken."
As the smoke from the city gate dispersed, I don't know who on the Liangshan side shouted first, and then Qin Ming shouted, "The city is broken, cavalry camp, charge."
"Kill!"
Five thousand Liangshan cavalry shouted at the same time, and then rushed towards the gate of Daming Mansion.
"Charge the whole army and crush Daming Mansion!"
Lin Chong shouted when he saw that the city gate was blown open.
Following Lin Chong's order, everyone behind him rushed forward desperately.
The defenders on the city wall also reacted at this time.
Yang Zhi hurriedly ran to Li Cheng and said loudly, "Sir, the city gate has been blown open.
There is no point in us guarding here.
We must withdraw immediately."
"Hateful" Li Cheng punched the city wall hard, and then shouted, "All the troops are going to the city, follow me to the city to fight against the bandits."
After saying that, he ran towards the city wall without looking back.
Yang Zhi and Suo Chao followed quickly.
The moment the city gate was breached, the four Shi Qian people who had been observing the situation in the city hurriedly ran towards the prison.
They didn't expect Lin Chong to break through the city gate so quickly.
They originally wanted to find an opportunity to set fire to the city and try to cooperate inside and outside.
However, they didn't expect that Lin Chong was too fast.
They didn't give the four of them time to perform.
They only charged in two rounds.
It is really a myth that the city gate of Daming Mansion was breached.
The four people quickly arrived at the prison.
At this time, Daming Mansion was already in chaos.
People were running everywhere, including defenders and civilians.
They were crying and shouting, one after another.
The cell door was still locked, but there was no prison guard outside the door.
Maybe they ran away as soon as they heard the city was breached.
Shi Xiu cut off the chain with a knife, then kicked the door open and entered.
The prison was very dark and damp, and there was a musty smell as soon as you entered.
The other three did not hesitate and rushed in directly following Shi Xiu.
As soon as he entered the door, Shi Xiu yelled, "Yuan Lu is outside, Yuan is outside!"
At this time, Officer Lu was sitting in his cell.
When he heard someone calling him, he quickly got up and ran to the cell door to check.
"Xiao Yi, I'm here."

When Lu Junyi saw Yan Qing's figure, he was very excited and called loudly.
"Master" Yan Qing had been here once, so he knew Lu Junyi's cell.
He ran over quickly and cut off the chain with a knife, and then said, "Master, hurry up.
Master Lin from Liangshan has led a large group of people to rescue the master.
At this time, it has been breached."
"The city gate" When Lu Junyi heard this, he felt happy and helpless at first, and then said loudly, "Let's go home with me first.
I'm going to kill that couple."
Yan Qing first introduced Shi Qian and the others to Lu Junyi.
Lu Junyi said, "I won't thank you for your kindness.
Please allow Lu to repay you in the future."
The three of them were polite, and then followed Lu Junyi to quickly kill him at his home.
Lu Junyi's family, Li Gu also knew that the Liangshan army had breached the city gate at this time, and was hurriedly packing up his belongings with Jia, preparing to go out and hide.
They knew that Lin Chong came specifically to save Lu Junyi, so once Lu Junyi was rescued, the two of them were determined to It won't end well, so it's better to leave first.
But things went counterproductive.
Before they could finish cleaning up, the door was kicked open, and Lu Junyi walked in with a waist knife in his hand and a murderous look on his face.
"You two thieves who are worse than pigs and dogs, where are you going to run?"
Lu Junyi cursed loudly when he saw the two people packing their things.
At this time, Li Gu was already frightened and said tremblingly, "Master, have mercy on me.
I was also confused for a moment and failed to resist the temptation of the madam, so I did something stupid.
I realized that I was wrong.
Please forgive me."
After saying this, He began to kowtow to Lu Junyi.
"Li Gu, you villain, you actually said that about me."
When Jia heard that Li Gu said that she had seduced him, she immediately cursed loudly.
"Hmph, stop acting.
You two birdmen are not good people.
Look at the knife."
After Lu Junyi said this, he went up and chopped off Li Gu with a single blow.
Seeing that Lu Junyi had really killed Li Gu, Mrs.
Jia was so frightened that she screamed "Ah", and then hurriedly crawled to Lu Junyi's side, hugged Lu Junyi's thigh and cried and begged, "Sir, spare my life, please remember me for serving you for so many years."
For your sake, spare my life.
From now on, I will be a slave and a maidservant serving the master."
After hearing this, Lu Junyi burst out laughing and said, "If I had known this, why would I have killed Jia with a single blow?"
When several people saw that Lu Junyi had killed both of them, they stepped forward to congratulate them and said, "Congratulations to the officer for getting his great revenge."
Lu Junyi regained his emotions and said to Shi Qian and the others, "Lu was able to escape with his life today and avenged his grievances only because of the help of Liangshan heroes and his three brothers.
Lu is deeply grateful."
After saying this, he bowed deeply to the three of them. bow.
The three people hurriedly helped Lu Junyi up, and then Shi Qian said, "Without further delay, Yuanwai will pack things here first.
I will go to Brother Lin to report the situation.
After that, Shi Qian said to Shi Xiu and Yang Lin, "The two brothers will stay here to protect you.
Come on, Yuan Wai, lest our soldiers don’t recognize Yuan Wai and cause misunderstandings.”
Shi Xiu and others nodded to express their understanding.
In fact, Shi Qian asked Shi Xiu and Shi Qian to stay, not only because they were afraid of misunderstandings, but also because they were afraid that Lu Junyi would take advantage of the chaos to hide, because Lu Junyi's helplessness happened to be caught by Shi Qian when he was in prison.
After Shi Qian ordered the two of them, he quickly ran out the door.
At this time, Lin Chong had already led the army into Daming Mansion.

The moment the city gate was breached, the defenders lost all morale.
If it weren't for the prestige of Li Cheng and others, they might have been defeated long ago. .
However, this situation did not last long.
As Qin and Ming led the cavalry battalion into the city, the morale that the officers and soldiers had finally gathered was completely destroyed again.
"Sir, this can't be done.
Let's protect Mr.
Zhongshu and retreat."
When Suo Chao saw the officers and soldiers starting to flee, he said to Li Cheng anxiously and loudly.
"Retreat, hurry up and protect Mr.
Zhongshu."
After saying this, he led Yang Zhisuochao and some more loyal soldiers and quickly ran towards Liang Zhongshu's mansion.
However, as the Liangshan army continues to enter the city, the possibility of their escape is slim:
