The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 613
A row of cannonballs roared across the sky, and smashed heavily on the east wall of Lintong City. After the continuous loud bang, gravel splashed and iron sheets flew horizontally, the defenders on the top of the city fell instantly. a lot.

At this time, a thick layer of corpses had already fallen on the top of the city, and there was a thick layer of greasy bloodstains all over the road paved with green bricks, and there were countless splattered bloodstains on the walls on both sides. There are many incomplete parts that were broken out by the shell.

The defenders didn't dare to show their heads at all. Many people just held their heads tightly, shivering behind the wall with their weapons in their arms, praying that they would survive.

As for Song Xiance, the guard, he didn't even have the courage to climb to the top of the city, but hid in the Lintong county office with a pale face and shivered.

He had already promised Di Qing, and sent his son Song Siming to contact him overnight, expressing his willingness to help Di Qing take Xi'an City as an insider.

But he didn't expect that what Di Qing said about the fake fight between the two sides would be so violent.

In less than two hours since the cannon was fired in the morning, there have been ten emergency reports from the top of the city, and two guards at the east gate have been replaced, and both of them were killed by the cannon.

The third guard just hid in the east gate tower and did not dare to come out, for fear that he would follow in the footsteps of his two predecessors.

Generals are so afraid of death, let alone other soldiers?
Therefore, the final scene was that the cannons of the officers and soldiers under the city kept bombarding the city head, but the city head had no firepower to counterattack at all, and put on a posture of resignation.

"Father, why does this official army seem to be fighting for real? Isn't it a good show?" Song Siming rushed in angrily and asked loudly.

"I'm not blind, I can see and hear, what are you doing so loudly?" Song Xiance scolded his son angrily.

"Father, do you think Di Qing has changed his mind? He won't really plan to capture the city and block us all in Lintong City, right?" Song Siming was reprimanded by Lao Tzu, his voice was a little softer, but still said worriedly.

"No, we won't do him any good if we die here. We are more useful alive. How many officers and soldiers are there outside the west gate?" Song Siming shook his head.

"There don't seem to be many officers and troops outside the west gate, only a small number of cavalry patrolling there." Song Siming said.

"That's good, that's good. Di Qing doesn't seem to intend to break the contract. I think he's attacking the city so violently for King Chuang to see. The more violent the attack, the less suspicious we will be." Song Xiance breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.

Song Siming suddenly realized.

"You gather all our people at the west gate, so that they don't go to the east gate, and the others go to the east gate as much as possible. We will break out and go to Xi'an tomorrow evening." Song Xiance stood up and walked around twice, then said to the son commanded.

"Baby takes orders." Song Siming agreed and left after taking orders.

Outside the city, in Di Qing's Chinese army camp, Di Qing stood in front of a huge map and looked at it seriously.

Such a fierce artillery attack on the city was actually intended to act for Li Zicheng who was hiding in Xi'an, and the other was actually a warning to the Song family and his son.

Tell them, if you have any other thoughts, then even if you really hide in the iron wall, you can't escape our shells.

"General, good news, good news." A young general, Xing Xing, came in hastily from outside the big tent, holding a letter in his hand.

"What good news? But it's from the West Route Army?" Di Qing turned around and asked.

The person who came was Di Qing's Central Army Chief Sima Muyi, who was in charge of all military orders in the army, drafting and delivering documents and other matters.

"The general knows things like a god. It was sent by General Baishan of the West Route Army." Mu Yi smiled and handed the letter to Di Qing with both hands.

Di Qing took it, checked the sealing sealant, and then used a knife to pick open the envelope, and quickly read it.

After reading it, he laughed and said: "The West Route Army has now reached Qianxian County, a hundred miles north of Xi'an, and should be able to reach the North Gate of Xi'an in two days, just in time to encircle Xi'an with our army."

Mu Yi was also overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "This is really a happy event. With General Baishan's West Route Army encircling us, although the city of Xi'an is big, it can be surrounded by us like an iron bucket. Even if Li Zicheng wants to run away There is nowhere to escape."

Di Qing nodded and said with a smile: "You write a letter to General Baishan for me, asking him to lead the West Route Army to besiege the North Gate and West Gate of Xi'an, and our army to attack the East Gate and South Gate. Whoever occupies Li Zicheng's palace first will be invited Drink good wine for three days and three nights."

Mu Yi smiled and said: "The general obeys orders, so I will write a letter now. I hope that when the general wins a good wine, his subordinates can also enjoy the food."

"That's indispensable, when the time comes, there will be enough drinking." Di Qing laughed.

Mu Yi quickly took orders and left.Not long after the letter was written, after Di Qing read it, he sealed it with a seal and sent it out.

When Baishan received Di Qing's letter, he had just won the county seat of Qian County.Once in the county, the city of Xi'an is completely exposed.

"Okay, it may not be so easy for General Di to win my wine. I ordered the whole army to rest overnight and set off for Xi'an City early tomorrow morning. When the time comes, General Di won the good wine and you all have a share." Bai Shan laughed boldly, Said loudly to the generals under his command.

"No!" Everyone excitedly promised in unison.

Di Qing "attacked" Lintong City with a fierce offensive for two days, and the sound of the violent explosion was heard even in Xi'an City fifty miles away.

Waves of horse scouts shuttled back and forth, conveying news from the front line.

"Report! The official artillery artillery was extremely fierce, and the Lintong defenders suffered heavy casualties."

"Report! The government and army are still bombarding. The east gate of Lintong is already dilapidated and may collapse at any time."

"Report! The east gate of Lintong was breached by the official army. The official army broke into the city and fought fiercely with our army."

"Report! The officers and soldiers are powerful, and the defenders of Lintong were defeated and fled one after another."

"Report! Prime Minister Song led a team of troops to break through from the west gate, smashing through the encirclement of the official army, and they are heading towards Xi'an City at this time."

"Report! Prime Minister Song has already arrived at the city, requesting to enter the city."

"Report! Prime Minister Song received an order outside the palace, saying that he would enter the palace to plead guilty to His Majesty!"

A series of messages flowed to the desk of Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun Kingdom.

In half a year, Li Chuangwang, who was originally a strong and heroic man, has now turned into a frustrated man with gray temples and a gloomy expression.

"Prime Minister Xuan Song, come in." Li Zicheng slumped on the back of the throne and waved his hands weakly.

Not long after, Song Xiance, who was covered in blood and in a panic, stumbled in and walked in quickly. When he saw Li Zicheng, he knelt down and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, I am not good at defending the city. I lost Lintong. I came here to plead guilty to your majesty. Please treat him I'm going to die!"

After speaking, he fell to the ground and cried.

"Old Song, get up, get up. What are you doing? My Dashun country is exhausted, what can you do alone? Get up, I don't blame you, but I want to reward you." Li Zicheng waved his hand and said , with a smile on his face, but the smile was full of exhaustion and depression.

"Come here, take one of my most beloved Nanhai night pearls and give it to Prime Minister Song to show my heart to reward loyal ministers." Li Zicheng ordered an old servant serving beside him.

Song Xiance stopped crying, looking at the forced and cheerful face of the person in front of him, he felt sore in his heart, and he hesitated for a moment.

But in the next moment, his heart became hard again. I can't let our Song family die with you.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for the grace of heaven. I am willing to take the crime and do meritorious service and guard the east gate for Your Majesty. As long as I am alive, I will not let an officer enter the city. If the officer wants to enter the city, they will step on the body of the minister." Song Xiance knelt down and shouted.

"Okay, okay, okay! After all, Prime Minister Song is my most trusted old minister. I know that everyone in the world has betrayed me, and you will not betray me. I will leave this east gate to you. Come on." , serve wine and food, I want to have a good drink with Lao Song."

Li Zicheng applauded and laughed, but the old servant quietly wiped away his tears.
