The number of rebels is huge, and those behind have not had time to react to what is going on. They only saw the city gate open in the chaos, and tried to rush in. However, as soon as they reached the opening of the city gate, they encountered artillery fire again. , and the vanguards went the same way.

The leader of the vanguard of the rebel army was standing leisurely on the horse, and suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable when something fell on his face. He touched his face twice, and before he could figure out what was going on, he was attracted by the gun in front of him.

The night was dark, and the red-clothed cannons kept coming. The leader of the rebel army was a half-baked man who took up the post temporarily. The battle depended on the large number of people. Waves of artillery fire burst out of the air, blasting a terrifying gap in the rebel phalanx, and the leader realized something was wrong.

Before he had time to scold his mother in the street, he saw a soldier rushing towards him.

"—Report! The opponent set up the Wujin giant cannon, and the vanguard army lost! More than half of the casualties!"

The leader was stunned, and said angrily: "Let the vanguard army withdraw! Continue to bombard the city!"

Before he finished speaking, another rebel soldier came up to him in a blink of an eye: "My lord, it's raining, and the fuse of the gunfire is damp. Forcibly igniting it may cause the bomb to explode."

The leader wiped his face belatedly, and suddenly discovered that what was dripping on his face just now was actually rainwater.

The flames of war were everywhere, and the smoke filled the air. After these two sentences, the raindrops that had been scattered just now seemed to merge into a continuous line in an instant.

The leader was a little out of breath, grabbed his sword and got off his horse. It looked like a damp shell was about to explode—there was an arch under the city gate, which was not sheltered from the wind but from the rain, and Pei Wenyuan's Wujin cannon happened to be set At this stall, I was lucky enough to avoid the rain.

One side is misfired while the other side is in full swing, as if because of this rain, the advantages and disadvantages have been lost in an instant.

The two rebel soldiers who reported the letter just now seemed to see the leader's reluctance, and followed the leader one from the left and the other from the right.

The person on the left saw that the leader was in a panic, so he said, "My lord, I have a plan."

The leader didn't turn his head back, and looked forward with his neck stretched, wishing to stare back at the two cannons with those eyes that were comparable to copper bells.

"Fuck away!"

The one on the right glanced back lazily, his eyes turned, and he looked at the person on the left, exchanging glances.

There was a bang, and the flames shot up into the sky. The red light from far and near happened to illuminate his pair of peerless peach blossom eyes.

"Look, my lord." He pointed his hand to the far back, and there was a storm and lightning under the black clouds that overwhelmed the city, but after that, it was faintly like dawn.

In his busy schedule, the leader turned around to look, but saw nothing. Before he had time to curse, he was pierced face-to-face by a dagger through the well-forged breastplate of his armor.

He opened his eyes angrily, and he only saw the lazy half-smile under the soldier's hat, and then he collapsed and was supported by the man with lightning-like hands, forcing him to look like he was still standing.

The soldier standing on the left side of the corpse, pointing to the distance, withdrew his hands and said in a low voice: "To capture the thief, first capture the king..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the soldier on the right, with the brim of his hat raised, with handsome features and handsome features, he was His Majesty the Emperor who should be far away in the capital.

"Catch the thief first, catch the king first, and curse the man first." Li Chengzuo took the wrong sentence, looked at the other person's speechless expression, smiled wickedly, looked at the raging battle ahead, and then looked at it The thunder billowed from behind, and the corners of his lips curled up silently, "Luo Wanchuan has been on the water all year round, and the weather is so accurate this time around, it's not bad for a moment... You little boy is fighting at the border so it's all due to luck Brain? No wonder the Khitan idiots always take advantage of it, he's still young, tsk...Look at this posture, we won't be here today, he's out of bombardment, is he going to use himself to fill it?"

"..." The soldier on the side was speechless for a moment, and raised his hat, revealing a slightly tired but still elegant and handsome face, it was Jiang Xizhu, "At this time, he still has the intention to run on others... To enter is the Limin retreat to the capital, he You have to pick a guard."

Li Chengzuo's half-smile is not clear: "Tsk... Jun Chi, you really understand him. If I guard Chaoge, I will definitely not be as mother-in-law as this kid..."

Before he finished speaking, a cannon fired from behind seemed to have borrowed the fury of the wind, carrying nine days of thunder and fire from the gate of Chaoge City, and the cannon blasted to the front. The blood-stained soil exploded together into tragic dregs under the strange weather.

Behind the sky did not open because of the torrential rain, the wind and clouds were constantly turbulent, and among the rolling clouds were lightning flashes that pierced the night sky, followed by lightning from the nine heavens that split the scorched earth.

The successive explosions and lightning strikes were very harmonious, as if some evildoer had provoked the wrath of the heavens and the people.

Li Chengzuo: "..."

Li Chengzuo supported a corpse that was not completely stiff, and he himself was a little stiffer than this thing, and it took a long time to relax his numb ears: "Tsk... that's what Qin Guogong means..."

However, before he finished speaking, Jiang Xizhu interrupted him.

On the battlefield where the flames of war raged, the prime minister looked carefully at His Majesty the Emperor, and said earnestly: "The old man said that children who brag will be struck by lightning. Hasn't Your Majesty heard of it?"

Li Chengzuo: "..."

His Majesty the Emperor almost didn't mention it in one breath.

Jiang Xizhu patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, hurry up and think of a way to make these people mess up and retreat. When they fight until dawn, the casualties will be much greater than imagined now. In the end, we are the ones who are worried."

Li Chengzuo wiped the rainwater from his face with his hands, lifted the collar of the corpse, and threw it on the horse. He grabbed the reins and turned the horse's head smoothly.

The steed was frightened, regardless of whether the leader on its back was alive or dead, it immediately galloped madly in the rain.

Li Chengzuo didn't care about Jiang Xizhu's ingenious words of running, he saw the way out, as if he had encountered the impending chaos, and led him out of the refugee rebel army quickly.

"—The leader has escaped!"

"—The leader fell off the horse!"

"—The leader is dead! He was killed!"

"—Run!"

"—Retreat! Retreat! Retreat ahead!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Pei Wenyuan didn't know how many cannons he had fired. He had to say, aside from his tragic mood, the Khitan people's Wujin cannons were really enjoyable, especially when it rained heavily. The unilateral bombing was exhilarating.

In fact, he was only one step away from running out of ammunition. When he turned his head to ask for reloading, he obviously felt the hesitation of the soldiers around him, but at this moment, the scouts came to report.

"General, the rebels have retreated!"

Pei Wenyuan was taken aback: "What?!"

"General, the leader of the rebel army was assassinated when the army was in disorder, and the opponent had more than half of the casualties, so he retreated at this time!"

Pei Wenyuan was stunned for a long time by the sudden news. When the soldiers around him began to cheer, he was still thinking about whether to "take advantage of the victory" or follow the "poor bandits don't chase after". , and finally realized belatedly that Chaoge had managed to hold on to this night of fierce fighting.

The soldier was still a child in the middle of the seventeenth or eighteenth year. After such a thrilling night, he cried and laughed in front of Pei Wenyuan: "General, retreat! They are retreating!"

The heavy rain washed the battlefield in the smoky night, the smell of gunpowder and the blood of casualties were still mixed with the smell of damp soil.

The thunder became quieter, and the clouds in the sky slowed down visibly with the naked eye. The lightning in the clouds split the dark clouds covering the sky inch by inch, and it was a little short of the time when the morning glow filled the sky. After the clouds were split, Finally revealed the rare ray of light after the gloom all night.

Pei Wenyuan looked out of the city through the open city gate. The battlefield that was foggy due to the rain all night silently devoured hundreds of millions of lives, but at this moment, only the rain was left to wash away the peace of the world.

After confirming that the rebel army really had no tendency to make a comeback, Pei Wenyuan suddenly relaxed, hesitated for a moment, reached out and patted the shoulder of the crying and laughing soldier: "Thank you, pass on the order to clean up the battlefield!"

The torrential rain was small, but the sky was still not clear. The water in the moat pool outside Chaoge City seemed to overflow the embankment. The temporary bridge built by the rebel vanguard last night was crumbling after being bombarded by Pei Wenyuan. He went out of the city in person. Look, the commander cleaned up these leftovers, so as to avoid being taken advantage of, and ordered the people to quickly count the casualties.

His head was dizzy from staying up all night, and his face turned pale even after being drenched in the rain. I don't know if it was the ash from the gunfire or the muddy water splashed by the rain on the armor. It wasn't that God helped in the end. A rain silenced the opponent's guns, and the leader of the opponent who gave orders died inexplicably in the battle. He didn't know how to win this battle with no way out.

Tired to the extreme, all he had to do was stretch his breath. At this moment, Pei Wenyuan felt a little bit of the heart to sit down on the ground, but before Shao General Pei could do nothing, he was crying and laughing for him. The soldiers who sent the order ran over from outside the city in the sparse light rain, and ran to the gate of the city. Unexpectedly, their feet were unstable, and they stepped into the soft mud and fell head-on into the muddy water.

Pei Wenyuan's face was smeared by the muddy water splashed by the soldiers for no reason. He couldn't laugh or cry. He wanted to help him, but found that the child was so dirty that there was no place to touch him. I had to find an opportunity to teach him to be more stable, and saw the soldier wipe the muddy water on his face, and stood up by himself.

Soldier: "General! Two prisoners of war were found outside the door. They claimed to have come to surrender and wanted to see you."

Pei Wenyuan frowned: "No, just lock it up!"

The soldiers had anticipated his reaction, hesitated for a moment, and said, "General, they said that you must see him, because they killed the leader of the rebel army last night."

Pei Wenyuan glanced at the soldier's serious eyes very speechlessly, and said to himself that you can believe whatever people say, you are really foolish, whoever sees it counts, I will send King Qi to heaven with a cannonball.

General Pei Shao had just defended the city, and finally felt in the mood to talk nonsense, but it was not easy to show it in front of his subordinates, so he could only continue to be serious: "Be careful of the other party's spies to confuse the public, and guard them strictly!"

After finishing speaking, he walked away.

However, within two steps, Pei Wenyuan suddenly remembered something, was taken aback, and suddenly turned around: "Wait!"

The soldier just got up and ran out, when he called him, he made a sharp turn and came back, just happened to step into the pit just now, and fell like he knew the way.

Pei Wenyuan couldn't bear to look directly at him and took two steps back, but he didn't delay: "Bring those two people here!"

The soldier couldn't remember the pain when he fell, and he didn't know why he changed his mind, but he still rushed to go.

The two were brought quickly.

Pei Wenyuan thought of the luck of winning last night, it was indeed like a blessing from God, the "reinforcement army" who originally thought it was Concubine Song finally saw a clue, when the two of them showed up, he was stunned, his knees softened, and he knelt down .
