Lu Xiangsheng naturally did not rush to reincarnate, but wanted to rush the bandits in Linfen City to reincarnate. He was very serious about siegeing the city, but the bandits on the city wall were mocking him with the mentality of watching the show, so when he suddenly moved, the bandits on the city wall became in chaos.

After all, the bandits were prepared for a long time. After panic, they were gradually rectified. Rows of giant shields appeared on the city wall, and huge rocks were thrown into the sky. "Swoosh swish swish swish" most of the huge rocks fell in the empty space. Occasionally, they could only cause the well rail to be smashed. It is not enough to smash a stone on the well rail, but the catapult can only aim at one range, and it is very troublesome to adjust the range, so it has almost no way to move the well rail.

Fortunately, the well railing was not a siege car, so we could not directly attack the city wall. We stopped when we were still two hundred steps away from the city wall. The sword and shield soldiers below began to hide behind the well railing, while the musketeers crawled directly onto the well railing.

Seeing the musketeers climbing up the well railing, raising the musket but not firing, a burst of laughter broke out from the city gate tower at the north gate. This King of Yan Lu is really sick. He always uses this trick, and now he is stunned. We have a giant shield, how can your musket stand me?

Lu Xiangsheng's next move almost made the thief chief on the city gate tower laugh and suck the ground. He actually led tens of thousands of spearmen and rushed towards the city wall with a ladder!

My forehead is like kidney dropping, this King of Yan Lu is not crazy!

However, they couldn't laugh immediately. As soon as Lu Xiangsheng rushed out, a roar sounded from the Ming army formation, "Boom boom boom" a row of shells flew towards the city wall and accurately hit the neat shield wall.

For a moment, wood chips splattered everywhere and blood soared. The musketeers opened fire, and the bandits carrying rolling stones and mulberry trees behind the shield formation were knocked over.

The bandits on the city wall were panicked. Although there were not many shells flying over from below, they were all concentrated in the section of the city wall in front of King Lu. Now there were no people standing there. If King Lu rushed up, it would be amazing.

The bandits on both sides were driven by the little leader and squeezed hard into the middle, and in a short while the hole was blocked. However, another row of shells flew past, and another gunshot was heard, and the middle was empty.

The bandits on the city wall were frightened. No matter how the little leader urged him, he just refused to move in the middle. Just kidding, didn’t you see a corpse like a sieve on the ground? You still squeezed it out, don’t you seek death!

They were afraid of death, but Lu Xiangsheng was not afraid of death. At this time, he had already led a group of spearmen to rush under the city wall. The sword and shield soldiers behind the well railing also followed. The spearmen put the ladder on the city wall. Lu Xiangsheng led a group of sword and shield soldiers to climb up the city wall without hesitation.

He basically encountered no obstacles in this period, because the above were emptied by artillery and muskets twice, and no one dared to come over yet. Lu Xiangsheng quickly climbed up the city wall. At this time, it was too late for them to come over.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish," a blade light lit up, and countless heads fell to the ground. King Lu Yan began his essential work: harvesting the heads.

He was lucky in this section, but not so lucky in other places. The bandits on the city wall hid behind the giant shield and threw the rolling stones down and the wood. For a moment, the number of casualties in the Ming army increased step by step. Except for the few ladders in the Lu Xiangsheng section, no one else rushed up the city wall!

The bandits on both sides were driven toward Lu Xiangsheng by the little leader. The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army around him began to fall down one by one. He was about to be left alone. Even if he was the real King of Hell, he could not withstand the bandits coming like the tides on both sides! The situation was in danger!

The roar of the artillery sounded again, and the shield formations on the twenty cloud ladders on both sides of Lu Xiangsheng were shot. The sound of muskets followed, and countless thieves carrying rolling stones and wood were shot and killed. The twenty cloud ladders were instantly lined up with the Ming army climbing up. Countless Ming troops rushed to the city wall, and Lu Xiangsheng finally gained a foothold on the city wall.

The artillery moved to both sides again, and more and more Ming troops rushed up to the city wall. Although they were still far from capturing the entire north wall, the entire situation could no longer be reversed.

The bandit leaders on the North Gate City Tower were collectively stunned when the cannons fired. Can the cannons be moved at will? How did King Lu move the cannon here!

The dispersed support of the artillery behind confirmed their conjecture. The artillery can really move at will and can be accurately shot. How can I play this? Muskets and cannons are simply invincible!

The bandits looked at each other with a wry smile. Finally, the Zijin Liang King ordered helplessly: "Get away."

............

Lu Xiangsheng slashed and slashed wildly on the city wall for a while, and suddenly felt that the swords and guns in front seemed to be getting looser and looser. When he cut over the last thief in front of him, he looked up and saw, "Damn, the thief chief banner on the city gate tower disappeared, and they all ran away!"

Lu Xiangsheng was so angry that he shouted: "Come."

A few personal guards walked out of the Ming army behind him, knelt on one knee and said loudly: "I'm here."

Lu Xiangsheng said in a whistle: "Send an order to ask General Cao Wenzhao to lead 30,000 cavalry to pursue, guerrilla Li Mingfu, Zuo Guangxian, Cui Zongyin, and Li Guoqi each led 10,000 musket soldiers and then supported him, telling Cao Wenzhao not to fight too fiercely, and not to force him when he encounters stubborn resistance, and wait for the musket soldiers behind him to support him."

The guards bowed their hands and quickly climbed down the ladder and sent orders.

Lu Xiangsheng lost no troops during this siege, but he did not achieve any results. After only capturing Linfen City, all the bandits ran away.

He was very depressed, but Cao Wenzhao was very happy. There were many masters in the bandits, such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others, who were famous for escaping. As long as they wanted to escape, you would not want to catch up with them.

These people have the specialty of escaping, but other thieves did not. Cao Wenzhao was so comfortable to capture. He ran a lot of people for one or two miles, and then caught a lot of people for one or two miles. He chased him from Linfen to Yicheng without any resistance. He basically surrendered after he surrounded him.

The guerrilla general Li Mingfu and others behind him became professional escorts. As soon as they walked one or two miles, cavalry came to inform them to escort prisoners. As soon as they walked one or two miles, cavalry came to inform them to escort prisoners. They went back and forth several thousand at a time. They didn't know how many bandits Cao Wenzhao had captured, but they just kept escorting them, and they couldn't finish them!

Cao Wenzhao finally encountered resistance when he chased Yicheng. The thief leader Wang himself used his own, Gao Yingxiang and others fled into Yicheng. They gathered nearly 100,000 people, which was not something Cao Wenzhao could deal with. He could only lead his army back to Linfen with regret.

Lu Xiangsheng was not depressed at this moment. Seeing the more and more prisoners outside the city, his face smiled like a flower. Whether it was caught in the city or outside the city, as long as it was caught. He originally thought that this time he had been working in vain, he received the consolation prize of Linfen City, but he never thought that Cao Wenzhao could catch so many bandits for him, and he was afraid that there would be more than 100,000 yuan, and he would catch more than half at a time. How could he be unhappy?

When Cao Wenzhao came back and told him about the situation of the bandits, it was a big deal. All the remaining bandits gathered in Yicheng, and there were still more than 100,000. No, they could not give them a chance to breathe, otherwise they would get up again in a few months.

So, early the next morning, he left behind the 30,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry led by Cao Wenzhao to stay in Linfen to guard the prisoners, and he himself brought musketeers and artillery, a total of 100,000 troops to rush straight to Yicheng.

This time he was even more unlucky. Before he arrived in Yicheng, the scout came to report. Wang Ziyong and others fled again, all fled to the mountains where Shanxi and Henan were handed over!

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but look up at the sky. Could it be that he didn't look at the almanac when he went out? Why couldn't even catch a bandit? If he had known, he would have sent Cao Wenzhao to come. That guy was so lucky that he would chase him all the way and pick him up all the way, and he could easily pick up more than 100,000 prisoners!

The bandits fled into the mountains, and Lu Xiangsheng had to give up the pursuit. There were wood everywhere in the mountains and the artillery could not be carried in. When they met the bandits, the musketeers could only be used as spearmen. He did not have any advantage over the 100,000 to 100,000. Moreover, those bandits were used to hiking into the mountains, and when they arrived, they were like going home. It was almost impossible to defeat them in the mountains.

Fortunately, the main force of the bandits was either captured or fled into the mountains. There were not many bandits in other cities in Pingyang Prefecture, and it was a good time to recover. So he personally led 50,000 troops to take over Yicheng to prevent the main force from counterattacking. The remaining 50,000 troops were sent south of Linfen and west of Yicheng to recover the cities occupied by the bandits.

After everything was arranged and the person was quiet, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly realized that he had not reported the victory to the emperor. It was not his fault. Since yesterday morning, he rushed all the way from Hongdong to Linfen, personally led his men to attack for a while, and took down Linfen City. The bandits ran away, but the city had to be accepted and arranged to arrange defense; when he was almost busy, the prisoners were sent over in batches, and they had to arrange people to guard and to arrange people to check and register. After these were done, the day would pass. The next day he went straight to Yicheng again. Although he didn't even see the bandits, he was also inevitable to accept and arrange defense. After finishing the work of Yicheng, he had to arrange people to recover other cities. After all these were arranged, he would be fine for the time being, and then he remembered to write good news to the emperor.

For Lu Xiangsheng, who was born in a Jinshi, writing a good news was naturally very simple. He wrote down the situation in Linfen and Yicheng in a few strokes. He still felt that he was still unsatisfied. He summarized his use of muskets and artillery in the siege and wrote it on the good news, which made people send it to the post station and promptly send them to the capital for 300 miles.

Zhu Cijing received the good news from Lu Xiangsheng as soon as he returned to the capital. He was naturally very happy. He originally thought that Lu Xiangsheng would have to be stalemate with the bandits for several months before he could take Linfen down, but he didn't expect that he would even take down Linfen and Yicheng so quickly. As for the bandits that Lu Xiangsheng was worried about to escape into the mountains and suppress them, he was not worried at all. It would be nice to escape into the mountains. Shanxi was almost troubled, so it was time for them to go to Henan, a severely affected area of ​​the royal family.
