Wang Fugui took all this into his eyes, and his stomach was as if it was overturning.

Although he used to be a pig-killing butcher, he often had a white knife in his belly and went out with a red knife.

But killing people and killing pigs are completely different feelings.

Seeing so many people being shot into hedgehogs, Wang Fugui almost fainted.

These rebels who killed thousands of swords would force the strong men to fill the trench, but they hid behind and shrank.

Wang Fugui had no good feelings for Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, and now he hated him so much that his teeth were itchy.

What is the ability to show off your own power? If you have the ability to take your soldiers to fight the Tartars!

Wang Fugui clenched his fists and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

The Shence Army's Xiaoguo Camp has limited troops, and it seems even more stretched to spread on the city walls on all sides.

In desperation, Chen Fu had to recruit young and strong men from the city to help defend the city.

Fortunately, Jining Prefecture is also a big province, with more than 100,000 people in the city, so it is still easy to recruit thousands of young and strong people.

Under the urging of the soldiers of Xiaoguo Camp, these young and strong people brought a large number of city guard equipment to the city head through horse paths.

Rolling wood, beating stones, gold juice, tung oil and a large number of arrows.

Chen Fu even ordered people to move the only four crossbows in Hyogo to the top of the city.

Although this thing is not as sharp as cannons, it is still very effective in dealing with intensive sieges.

Although there are no heavy artillery like the Red Cannon in Jiningzhou City, there are still several three-pound cannons.

Chen Fu ordered people to divide these guns into the city walls around and provide firepower support.

The strong men who were driven to fill the trench had never seen such a posture, and they threw away the chickens and buses in their hands and fled with their heads.

But as soon as some of them escaped back to the formation, they were chopped to the ground by the soldiers under Liu Liangzuo's command. The remaining people were so scared that their faces were pale and forced to return to the moat and run towards the moat.

The three-pound cannon was ignited and shot at these strong men. Although the solid cannon would not explode, it could jump up repeatedly after the first lag and cause a second or third kill, that is, a jump. The bed crossbow was also pulled, and the huge crossbow arrow tore a hole in the dense group of strong men, causing great damage.

Liu Liangzuo, who was observing the battle situation on Xiaotugang, frowned.

The situation is very different from what he thought.

He thought that the Shence Army was just a flowery manner like the Jinyiwei, and would be distracted from the siege of so many people. Who would have thought that these soldiers had shown extremely high qualities and execution ability, mobilizing all resources that could be mobilized for defense?

To siege the city, you must fill the moat.

But according to the current situation, it is not easy to do this.

There were no heavy artillery in Liu Liangzuo's army, so it was impossible to blast the city walls of Jiningzhou.

Things got frozen here.

Liu Zeqing coughed and said, "Old brother, why not let's change the way we play."

Liu Liangzuo turned his head and said in suspicion: "Brother Zeqing has a good way?"

"Take the corpse into the river!"

Liu Zeqing said without any emotion.

The water system is crisscrossing around Jining Prefecture, but the drinking water of the people in the city comes from a small river that winds into the city from the southeast direction.

This small river passes through the Shuimen and enters the city. The water quality is clear and can be used directly.

Liu Zeqing's idea was to throw the body into this river and pollute the water source.

Once the upper reaches of this river are polluted, the parts that flow into the city will naturally not be spared.

There may be a lot of grain stored in Jiningzhou city, but it is impossible to store much water. They are all taken immediately.

If they were normal, they could also go out of the city to get water from the Grand Canal and Fu River.

But now Jiningzhou City is surrounded by a group of people, and the defenders in the city can only get water from this small river that flows into the city.

There are two choices before them.

Either drink water contaminated by the corpse or endure thirst.

Under normal circumstances, people will become weak if they don’t drink water for two or three days. At that time, the combat effectiveness of the defenders in the city will definitely decrease. It will be much easier to fill the moat and siege the city.

Liu Liangzuo was overjoyed and thought to himself that Liu Zeqing was really a wonderful person.

"This plan is very good. Let's just take a pot and cut off the firewood. They will die of thirst!"

The plan has been decided, and the next step is to implement it.

The dead men were everywhere. The soldiers of the Er Liu tribe dragged these corpses into the small river leading to the Water Gate.

Some of the strong men were not dead yet, so they grinned and took a knife.

Chen Fu saw all this.

He clenched his fists tightly, his face cold.

"General Chen, these two rebels throwing their bodies into the river is really vicious!"

Seeing this, Wang Fugui gasped.

They must be stopped!

Chen Fu said in his heart.

But what should I do?

...

...

"Master, we have already figured it out. The Green Camp under Zu Kefa's command only has 30,000 troops, all of which were the official troops in Henan at the time."

In the Suizhou General's Office, Li Chengdong clasped his fists and reported to Gao Jie.

Gao Jie raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it really only the Green Camp soldiers?"

"I dare to use my superiors to guarantee it!"

Li Chengdong said resolutely.

"good!"

Gao Jie was overjoyed and stepped forward and ordered: "Send orders to cook at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning and start at 5 o'clock tomorrow. I want to capture Zu Kefa alive, dig out his pair of eggs and stuff them into the buttocks."

Since the Qing army in northern Henan was really so small, Gao Jie naturally would not miss the great opportunity to make achievements.

"Abide by the order!"

Li Chengdong resolutely took the order.

"Henan has been through war for a long time and has been full of holes. The Tartars have taken rebellious actions, issued two cool orders for land enclosure and fleeing law. Wherever the king's army arrives, prefectures and counties along the way will surely open cities to welcome the general!"

Li Chengdong is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has a unique ability to flatter.

In just a few words, Gao Jie praised him as if he was descending to earth.

Although Gao Jie didn't show anything on his face, he was very happy.

"If I can conquer Kaifeng this time, I will definitely praise you in the good news that I will report to Nanjing."

Gao Jie has always been optimistic about Li Chengdong. In his opinion, this person looks very much like himself when he was young and dares to act.

Although his nominal heir was his son Gao Yuanzhao, he also understood that his son was weak by nature and it was difficult to carry this burden on his shoulders.

My nephew Li Benshen had some tricks, but he was too cruel and lacked energy.

Looking at it, Gao Jie still thinks that Li Chengdong is the most suitable.

Although Gao Jie is in his prime now, he cannot completely ignore the plan for his funeral.

After all, leading troops to fight is extremely dangerous. If he dies in the battlefield one day, the 40,000 to 50,000 troops under his command will not be dispersed.

After thinking about it, Gao Jie thought it was a good way to recognize Li Chengdong as his adopted son. It was an ordinary thing for military generals to recognize his adopted son in the late Ming Dynasty. This move was also very common in the peasant army. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong recognized many adopted sons. In this way, he could conquer everyone to lead the entire army. As for Gao Yuanzhao, he could also inherit the title and become a noble lord. With the assistance of Li Benshen, he would probably not be much worse.

Of course, Gao Jie has not finally made up his mind. He is going to wait a little longer. If his son Gao Yuanzhao gets enlightened, he naturally prefers that his parents and children can inherit his legacy alone.
