Chapter 205 Attacking Deng County

The two men carried the water tank and strode over. As I walked closer, there was a fragrance from far away that hit my nostrils. It was obvious that it was a jar of wine.

The old man was even more confused. Just now the young master said that his words were worthless, how could he exchange them for a large vat of wine?

The two men carried the wine jar into the house and handed it to Yang Shucheng. Yang Shucheng was overjoyed when he saw it.

Yang Shucheng personally took the boy to the Ban River and cast a net to catch fish. Today's luck was also very good. After a few nets, more than a dozen yellow croakers were caught.

The two went home and ordered their family to kill a hen and stew it slowly in a casserole. They also ordered the fish to be cut open and stew it in a casserole.

When the sun turns to the west, the casserole chicken and casserole yellow croaker soup are brought to the table. The alluring aroma will make your mouth water.

No, that Zhang Yike came along with the scent.

The family got a new set of bowls and chopsticks, and Zhang Yike sat down. He and Yang Shucheng started drinking.

In this way, reading, practicing swordsmanship, leisurely time passed easily, and a few months passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was early autumn.

At this time, news came from outside the mountains that after Li Zicheng fled to Shaanxi, the Qing soldiers pursued him all the way. Li Zicheng could not hold on in Shaanxi, so he had to come towards Henan again.

When he arrived in Henan, he commanded the army to attack Luoyang City.

At this time, the king of Luoyang, Wu Shiguo, had been killed by Tong Yuhui, and he became the king of Luoyang.

While Li Zicheng was besieging Luoyang, Tong Yuhui surrendered to the Qing soldiers. The Qing soldiers cooperated with him and surrounded Li Zicheng's army, killing Li Zicheng and leading the remaining soldiers to break through and escape, heading towards Nanyang.

Yang Shucheng inquired and found out that Li Zicheng also had his savior Li Xing, as well as his confidante He Jinhua and Fang Xiaoli. I wonder how they are doing now?

When Yang Shucheng thought of them, he became anxious and immediately prepared to leave the mountain.

That Zhang Yike was upstaged by his apprentice Tong Yuhui, and he didn't want to come out.

Yang Shucheng went to Wang's house to say goodbye. The Wang family is supervising the construction of a house, and they are not allowed to go out.

Therefore, Yang Shucheng came out of the mountain one man and one horse.

After walking for several days, they walked out of the Shangluo area and went outside the mountains. When they inquired, they found that Li Zicheng was defeated in Luoyang, fled south, and was now gathering in Deng County.

Yang Shucheng ignored the fatigue and rode towards Deng County.

After walking on the road for several days, I arrived outside Deng County City and saw a large group of sergeants attacking Deng County City from a distance.

Yang Shucheng rode up to the front, and it was Li Zicheng's troops who attacked the city.

Yang Shucheng informed his name and was soon passed into the camp. He met Li Zicheng who had proclaimed himself emperor. He was much older than before, but his face was still so resolute and his eyes were still so firm, revealing his stubborn character and unwillingness to admit defeat. Come by nature.

Upon inquiry, it was found that Mrs. Gao had been shot dead by Qing soldiers while covering the evacuation of the logistics troops.

After a while, He Jinhua and Fang Xiaoli also came to the military camp. He Jinhua had changed a lot. In addition to his heroic appearance, he also looked tired, but Fang Xiaoli was still as gorgeous as ever.

After some conversation, it turned out that two of the "Shangshan Four Righteousness" also died, one was the boss Zhu Ying, and the other was the third boss Zou Cheng. The second oldest Ren Qunce and the fourth oldest Bai Yuyao are left.

After a while, Chen Shaoyong also came in with an arrow wound. His apprentice Jiang Wen was also killed by Qing soldiers when they attacked Luoyang.

Li Zicheng suffered heavy losses. He lost the foundation of Xi'an and could not attack Luoyang. He was chased by Qing soldiers and fled all the way to Deng County. He could only capture Deng County as a temporary resting place.

There were constant shouts of killing outside, and Yang Shucheng followed them to the city. The soldiers here also knew that there was no way to retreat, so they bravely moved forward, setting up ladders on the city wall, and brave soldiers climbed up one after another.

There was not a single guard on the wall. At this time, the soldiers here were almost climbing to the top of the city. They saw a row of defenders pouring out from above. When they pushed the ladder, these soldiers climbing up the wall fell down from the air like dumplings. " Ah...", the screams were endless.

But Li Zicheng's soldiers had no way out. After rescuing the wounded soldiers, they stepped on the dead bodies to attack the city for the second time.

At this time, a shout came from the barracks: "The cannon is coming."

I saw a group of soldiers from the rear pushing out two cannons. The soldiers here saw a burst of blowing.

The soldiers hugged the two cannons and pushed them straight to the city wall. They loaded the gunpowder and lit the fire. With a sound of cannon, the shells rushed straight towards the city wall.

There was a "boom" and a big hole was made in the city wall. The soldiers shouted and rushed towards the entrance of the city. The guards inside the hole were waiting for work. A burst of arrows shot out. The soldiers were hit by arrows one after another and were seriously injured. They had to Return defeated.

The second cannonball was fired, and with a "boom" the hole in the city wall was blown even bigger.

At this time, a general shouted: "Whoever rushes in first will be rewarded heavily."

Hearing this, another group of soldiers were organized to rush towards the city cave. People on both sides started fighting at the entrance of the city cave.

Swords and swords flashed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams soared into the sky.

After a meal of fighting, Dashun soldiers finally rushed into the cave.

The subsequent army entered subsequently. Deng County was a small county and there were not many defenders inside. The army entered and was quickly wiped out.

Some Dashun soldiers guarded the city and the county magistrate captured him and took him to Li Zicheng's barracks to receive the reward. Li Zicheng did not interrogate him, but took him out and beheaded him.

The army entered Deng County. Li Zicheng worked in the county government office.

After this battle, Dashun soldiers lost more than 400 people, all of whom were killed in the city. There were not many people inside. Li Xing begged for the lives of the people, so he did not kill the people.

Treating the injured soldiers and rewarding the brave soldiers, I was busy all afternoon, and I didn't even have dinner in my mouth.

More than 200,000 troops could not enter the small county town and could only be stationed on a hill outside the city.

Then they buried the pot to cook. After dinner, it was already midnight. After a busy day, the soldiers got into the tents to sleep. The lanterns were shining, but the military camp was already quiet.

When I got up the next day, spies had already reported to the camp, and a small group of Qing soldiers came to kill them. There were more than a hundred people in total.

Yang Shucheng thought to himself, more than a hundred Qing soldiers dared to attack an army of 200,000? Let's see how he attacks.

Yang Shucheng and Li Xing stood on a high hill and looked north. They saw a flat river to the north and a line of smoke billowing from them.

This is the vanguard of the Qing soldiers. They all ride on tall horses, carry swords on their waists, and carry bows and arrows on their backs. They run to the hilltop like a gust of wind.

I saw a Han general running up to the front alone and shouting loudly toward the mountain: "The bandits on the mountain surrender quickly, or I will kill you all without leaving a trace."

Li Xing was furious. He dared to challenge an army of 200,000 people by himself! He drew out an arrow, drew the bow to full capacity, and shot the arrow. With a "swish" sound, he shot straight at the Han general.

The arrow was as fast as a meteor, but the general still stood there stunned, unaware that death was imminent.

Seeing the arrow coming in front of him, an arrow flew out from the side and shot Li Xing's arrow to the ground.

Unexpectedly, there is such a sharpshooter among the Qing soldiers!
