Chapter 660
After saying so much in one breath, Qin Liangyu finally finished, then reached back and said: "You two, will you follow me into the city?"

Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu were both stunned. When they finally heard Qin Liangyu's invitation to enter the city, with a look of trust on their faces, they knew that Qin Liangyu was vouching for them, and they couldn't help but be very moved.

Long Zaitian immediately clasped his fists, saluted Qin Liangyu solemnly and said: "Captain Qin trusts me, Long, so much. Long must bear this sentiment in mind!"

"I, Wang Yangzu, will definitely live up to the trust of Governor Qin!" Wang Yangzu was also surprised, and then moved, he patted his chest and promised.

Those who lead the army to fight, not many people are crooked people, they are all straightforward.Of course, Qin Liangyu had evaluated the loyalty of the two of them to the imperial court and thought there would be no problem.Now that she came out to see it, she didn't find any abnormality, and she made the relationship so clear, she didn't believe that she would be mistaken.Of course, the side she showed at this time was more or less to make up for the damage caused to Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu by closing the city gate before.

Seeing the performance of the two of them at this time, Qin Liangyu smiled and said: "Okay, even if I wait for the horse leather shroud this time, the emperor will avenge us, and we will be together in the Daming Martyr's Shrine in the future, and we will live forever with the country!"

Qin Liangyu's husband's family is the descendant of Ma Yuan who was "shrouded in horse leather".Now, when he shouted these words that made the soldiers passionate, Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu both looked at each other and smiled and said: "Okay, it doesn't matter if you wrap your body in horse leather, we will see you in the Martyrs' Shrine someday!"

So, Qin Liangyu led the two soldiers into the city, and officially started the battle of defending the city of Kunming.

It has to be said that when Sha Dingzhou and the others encircled them, they were all surprised when they found that the flags of Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu were flying above the Kunming city.

In their view, the contemporary Qian Guogong did not convince them, and his methods were mediocre.Therefore, they thought that Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu would stand guard outside the city with their backs.

In fact, let alone, in the original history, Mu Tianbo was really not a capable person.After escaping from Kunming, he trusted almost no one.Knowing that Lu Yong of Ningzhou was ordered to lead the army to fight against the rebels, the official Zhou Ding prevented Mu Tianbo from leaving, and asked him to stay and fight against the rebels. After all, Mu Tianbo is the Duke of Qian, who has the duty of guarding the land and can calm down the army.As a result, Mu Tianbo suspected that Zhou Ding was deceiving him, so he killed Zhou Ding and fled to Chuxiong.

At this time, Sha Dingzhou and the others originally wanted to humiliate the two "traitors" severely, and their plan to attack Kunming after killing Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu was naturally abolished.

Chieftains from all walks of life gather under the city of Kunming, with flags of various colors everywhere.The chieftain soldiers from all walks of life are almost all over the mountains and plains, boundless. The total number is more than [-] at least, and the momentum is very huge.

However, the White Army had originally withdrawn to Kunming and had already made plans to defend in Kunming.Material reserves are sufficient and defense work is done well.With the addition of Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu's troops, the military strength was even more relaxed.Even if there were a large number of rebels outside the city, they did not panic and waited for reinforcements to arrive to suppress these rebels.

That's why, even though the court officials in the city tried to send people to ask for help and inform Kunming of the latest military situation, they didn't panic after being blocked, anyway, the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth.

Starting from February 19, 22th year of Chongzhen, the defense of Kunming officially started.

Sha Dingzhou, Wu Bikui and others used all available siege tactics, and the chieftains suffered heavy casualties. But the most successful one was in the early morning, when a dozen soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and then again was driven out of the city.

Faced with such a situation, the morale of these rebel chieftains was finally no longer as high as it was at the beginning.The extremely strong defense of Kunming City, especially the performance of the white pole army, surprised these chieftains.

Originally, they thought that the white pole army had made no progress in fighting Shadingzhou for several years, and even later, they retreated voluntarily, and their combat strength should be nothing more than that.At this time, others didn't know, but Sha Dingzhou, who had fought against the White Pole Army, knew that the White Pole Army hadn't tried their best before!
As time passed day by day, the flag of Ming Dynasty was still flying above the city of Kunming, and reinforcements from the imperial court were bound to rush to Kunming city day by day. Almost all chieftains began to worry.

At a military meeting, a chieftain finally proposed: "This Kunming city is really impossible to take down, otherwise, should we withdraw first?"

When Wu Bikui heard this, he immediately became angry. He slapped the table and shouted, "Didn't we already say beforehand that Kunming City must be taken down? If Kunming City cannot be taken down, our life will only be more difficult in the future. Who dares to say at this time?" Those who retreat are the court's internal response, deliberately shaking our army's morale!"

Upon hearing this, the other chieftains who originally wanted to retreat did not dare to speak.The chieftain who spoke just now blushed and straightened his neck to argue: "Fart, who is the spy? Didn't you see how much my son died? At least more than you, who worked hard and who didn't?" Desperate?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Bikui was about to speak when he saw Sha Dingzhou stand up and said loudly, "Okay, don't make any noise!"

When the leader of the alliance spoke, he always had to give some face, and the scene became quiet.

Seeing this situation, Sha Dingzhou smiled, and then said to the others: "Everyone, in fact, Kunming is difficult to attack, and we should all know it well. But as long as Kunming is captured, the Mu family has accumulated hundreds of years of wealth. It’s all ours. According to the previous agreement, whoever attacks the city first, whoever contributes the most, will get the most wealth! This point remains unchanged.”

At this point, he saw that the other chieftains were not particularly excited, so he knew that these chieftains were not stupid, and knew that if they wanted that wealth, they must at least conquer the city of Kunming.But this Kunming city is so difficult to fight, it has already dampened their desire for those wealth.

So, he said with a chuckle: "Everyone, before we set off, the lord of the alliance has already expected the strength of Kunming City, so he has already made preparations. Soon, this Kunming City will be destroyed!"

Even Wu Bikui was a little surprised when he heard what he said so confidently. Looking at him, he thought to himself, it seems that the loss of troops on Sha Dingzhou's side is not much. So they are waiting for an opportunity?

"Leader, what preparations have you made? Come and listen!"

"Since we are prepared, why didn't we say it earlier and let us lose our troops for nothing?"

"..."

There were various voices among the chieftain crowd, but no matter what, after what Sha Dingzhou said, there was still an atmosphere.

Sha Dingzhou was not angry at the harsh voices of some chieftains. He just waved his hands and said: "In today's world, the most powerful siege weapon is heavy artillery. And the best siege artillery comes from Xiyi, which is far away." It has a longer range and more power than the artillery at the top of Kunming City..."

As soon as he heard his words, before he finished speaking, a group of chieftains started shouting.

"Who doesn't know this? But, where do we get such artillery?"

"That is, if there is such a thing, the city wall will not move, so it will collapse if it collapses?"

"..."

After hearing this, Wu Bikui immediately thought of a possibility.Sure enough, before he finished speaking, he saw Sha Dingzhou glance at his military adviser, and then said loudly: "Everyone, there are still allies on the side of the allies of the leader, that is, the red-haired Hongyi, Their Hongyi cannons are very powerful and powerful. At the suggestion of the military adviser, the leader of this alliance has borrowed them a long time ago. Now, they will soon arrive in Kunming."

What he said was Annan's side.Now Annan is divided into two forces, the North and the South, which is called the Zheng-Ruan dispute in history.Among them, the Zheng family over there is supported by the Dutch, while the Ruan family in the south is supported by the Portuguese and has been fighting for many years.

The ally Sha Dingzhou mentioned was actually the Ruan family in the south.

At this time, hearing his words, all the chieftains couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Is there really a Hongyi cannon?"

"It is said that this kind of red barbarian cannon can be destroyed for dozens of miles in one cannon. It is an artifact sent from heaven. This Kunming city will undoubtedly be destroyed!"

"Aren't you saying that the more powerful the red barbarian cannon is, the heavier it will be? Our roads in Yunnan are difficult to navigate. Are we really lucky?"

"..."

Listening to their surprises, Sha Dingzhou was very pleased with the feeling at this moment, and after a while, he smiled and said: "If it wasn't for the difficult road, I wouldn't have announced this matter so late. Don't worry, although there are only three Hongyi cannons, after arriving in Kunming City in three days, it will be the end of those officers and soldiers in the city!"

"It's worthy of being the leader, good!" The chieftain who has a good relationship with Sha Dingzhou immediately shouted, "Then the money of the Mu family should be dominated by the leader!"

"Yes, if the alliance leader hadn't prepared for a rainy day, he actually borrowed the Hongyi cannon. Otherwise, when would Kunming be captured? It would be right for the alliance leader to pay more for food!"

"..."

Wu Bikui was a little dumbfounded. At this time, he couldn't help but complain, why didn't his allies have Hongyi cannon?If they want to fight the New Year, didn't they completely annihilate the Folangji people? They were so powerful, but they didn't even have a Hongyi cannon?
After Sha Dingzhou announced the news, these chieftains naturally stopped attacking the city and waited for the Hongyi Cannon to finally arrive.

On the top of Kunming City, Mu Tianbo waited for the grain fields, but he didn't see that the rebels were no longer attacking the city. He couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that these rebels know that they can't take down Kunming City, and now they are powerless to attack the city!"

Qin Liangyu shook his head when he heard this, and said a little pessimistically: "The Duke should not be too happy. Although these chieftains are no longer attacking the city, they have no intention of retreating. On the contrary, their morale is high. Looking at the old man, I am afraid they have nothing to rely on." , Turn around or not attack, once attack again, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight!"

Hearing this, Mu Tianbo went to carefully observe the situation of the rebels outside the city, and found that it was exactly as Qin Liangyu said, and his heart sank immediately.
