Losing the Heart

Yi Tusheng's army advanced fifty miles outside Qingyang Prefecture City. Tian Ji asked to stop and set up a camp. Yi Tusheng smiled and said, "This time I will use cannons to kill them all. The distance of fifty miles is too far, and it is not suitable for the cannon to advance forward. If you push forward thirty miles forward, then set up camp. I understand that Li Qingshan, a stray dog, has no strength to fight back."

The army continued to advance, but just after ten miles of advance, the spy came back to report: "Your Majesty, the road ahead has been destroyed. Every mile, a trench that is one person wide is dug, and it is impossible to pass through." Yi Tusheng said puzzledly: "Digging a trench every mile, you will be full! What can that work? Put a wooden board for me and keep moving forward."

"Slow down!" Zu Dashou said: "Your Majesty, you are confused. They dug trenches not to block our infantry and cavalry, but mostly to block our cannons. Even if they are boarded, the cannons cannot pass." Yi Tusheng suddenly said: "I almost forgot that Li Qingshan is playing this trick."

Tian Ji laughed and said, "It's a big deal that he can think of it. He spent so much manpower and material resources to do this trick. At most, it would be to delay our attack time. Let's fill all these trenches. What's the big deal?" Yi Tusheng said, "Otherwise, I think Li Qingshan is a slowdown. He might want to buy time to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, so he can give him time. If Li Tianxing is stubborn and does not accept the persuasion, I will kill his army with cannons, so that I can save me from running so far to the Jinglu Guard." Tian Ji said, "What the prince said is very true."

Yi Tusheng ordered Qi Bingzhong to lead 50,000 soldiers to fill the trenches continuously. Fortunately, there is no need to take risks in filling the trenches, but just to work hard. The army is temporarily stationed fifty miles away, waiting for the progress of filling the trenches. The power of the 50,000 troops is great. The trenches were filled in just two days. Yi Tusheng ordered the entire army to continue moving forward.

"Your Majesty, Yi Tusheng's troops have filled the trenches. Now he has arrived twenty miles outside the city to get a village. The number seems to be quite large, with a total of 100,000 people." A spy returned to Qingyang Prefecture and reported to Li Qingshan.

As soon as the spy left, another spy rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, Yi Tusheng's troops have arrived at the city. There is a general who is fighting at the city. Please decide."

"Yi Tusheng is so hateful. He actually wants to kill me. I will go out to fight him to the death." Li Qingshan was furious and was about to come out. Qiu Ba immediately stopped him and smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. The enemy has just arrived at the city and is as powerful as a rainbow. It is not good for our army to go to the city to see the situation first." Li Qingshan nodded and said, "Okay, the generals will come to the city to watch the formation."

Li Qingshan brought a group of generals to the top of the city and looked down. He saw Yi Tusheng's soldiers and horses set up formations outside the city. Countless battle flags were connected into a sea of ​​flags. The sound of shouting and killing came like a tide of shocking momentum. Yi Tusheng was wearing black light armor and stood proudly under the cover of the commander, infecting the entire Ming army with a confident smile. Among the neat human walls, there were piles of giant objects covered with white cloth, and I don't know what it was.

"Have Li Tianxing's reinforcements not arrived yet?" Li Qingshan couldn't help but feel a little numb when he saw the formation below that was extremely powerful. Since he was defeated last time, he has no longer had the confidence he had before. The seeds of failure were planted in his heart and could no longer be driven away. Qiu Ba seemed to see through Li Qingshan's thoughts and hurriedly said: "Li Tianxing's army will arrive this afternoon at the latest, so the king can rest assured."

Under the city, a general of the Ming army snatched out, holding a spear, shouting for battle. It was Yu Chen. Yu Chen who was bitten by a poisonous snake at the head of Pingyang City last time. He felt cowardly. This time, he had a lot of energy to get the opportunity to be a pioneer from Yi Tusheng.

"Li Qingshan, you turtle shrank, dare you come down and fight to the death with me." Yu Chen circled his horse and pointed the tip of his gun at Li Qingshan and cursed loudly.

Qiu Baxiao said, "The king doesn't need to show off his courage with him. Before Li Tianxing's reinforcements arrive, we don't need to go to fight, so let him scold him. I'm just worried about Yi Tusheng's Divine Martial Cannon!" His eyes passed through the layers of human walls and fell on the giants covered with white cloth.

Zu Dashou said angrily: "What nonsense do you mean to him? Just use the Shenwu cannon to destroy the city and blow them all to death." Yi Tusheng looked at the top of the city and shook his head and said: "It seems that Li Tianxing's reinforcements have not arrived yet. If Li Qingshan is killed now, Li Tianxing's team will definitely turn back halfway. If you wait a little longer, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Yi Tusheng suddenly shouted at the top of the city: "Li Qingshan, I am Yi Tusheng, the regent of the Ming Dynasty. I am now on behalf of the court and on behalf of the emperor to tell you that if you are willing to give up rebellion and surrender, I will guarantee you high-ranking officials and wealth in this life. If you resist stubbornly, at most half a month or at least five days, I will definitely let you die and die without a place to bury yourself. You should consider it carefully today. Today is just a lesson. I will not be so polite when I send troops again next time."

"Yi Tusheng, please stop talking nonsense. I have inherited the will of heaven and imparted people's hearts, and there are countless experts to help me. In the future, I am destined to unify the world and ascend to the throne and become emperor. If you are a smart person who knows the current affairs, you should immediately turn against and surrender, otherwise your death will come."

Yu Chen raised his gun and cursed: "The little thief actually dared to be rude to the prince. When I kill into the city, I will kill all your gangs and crush you to ashes, so that I can relieve my hatred." Qiu Ba waved his hand and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!" At the top of the city, thousands of arrows were fired at Yu Chen. Yu Chen had been on guard for this hand, waved his iron spear to knock down the arrows one by one, turned around and flew back to the camp, and shouted: "Li Qingshan, you are just a turtle with your head. You don't even dare to take a step in the city gate, and you still want to dominate the world. You might as well go home and take your children."

Yi Tusheng laughed and ordered: "Today I just show Li Qingshan strength. Now let's retreat and chant Jin withdraw the troops." In the military formation, the sound of chant Jin was loudly heard. The Ming Dynasty army was in order, and the back team turned into front teams and retreated back. The sound of tens of thousands of people stomping on the ground shook slightly. Li Qingshan's face changed drastically.

Qiu Ba and Cha Potian exchanged their eyes, and their eyes showed contempt. They thought to themselves: Li Qingshan seems to be finished, his spirit is gone, and he can never do anything big. He should find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise the 40,000 to 50,000 people will soon be destroyed in his hands.
