Chapter 645 Cessation of Nanyang and Xiangyang in exchange for troops
Outside Dengzhou City, Li Jiyu's army, soldiers and wilderness, and cannons lined up to bombard Dengzhou.
At this time, fifty red cannons fired accordingly, and balls of gunpowder rose up, and shells roared out, smashing the city walls.
A more than ten pounds of iron bullet hit the city tower, and directly eliminated a corner, and bricks and tiles hit the city wall.
Under the continuous blast of the red-clothed cannon, the city walls of Dengzhou were already full of holes.
At this time, on the top of the city, the guards squatted behind the battlements, and the shells kept hitting the city wall, and the wall bricks were broken and peeled off, revealing the rammed earth wall inside.
Suddenly, with a loud "boom", a city wall that was several feet long was unwilling to endure the shelling, collapsed and rolled up smoke and dust.
At this time, in the wilderness, Li Jiyu was stationed under the banner of Daqi, laughed loudly, and roared with a sudden sword: "Kill me!"
In the wilderness, among tens of thousands of troops, drums sounded, and nearly 10,000 soldiers pushed hundreds of sanctuary bridges and cloud ladders, charging around the field.
More than three thousand elite Cao's soldiers rushed directly to the collapsed place and into the rolling smoke and dust.
At this time, the soldiers set up a floating bridge on the moat, and the siege people crashed into the smoke and dust in the sky. Only a few falling arrows shot from both sides, which could not stop the army's charge.
The soldiers of Cao's camp rushed up and climbed up the wall along the collapsed city wall. The densely packed soldiers covered the slope.
Several soldiers climbed up to the high place and just poked their heads out, their sharp spears stabbed towards them.
"Ah~" screamed, and the soldiers who were stabbed fell down with screams. The soldiers behind immediately rushed up and fought back with weapons, chopping down the defenders above.
The offensive and defensive sides fought desperately at the collapsed place, constantly exchanging deaths.
The defenders occupied the territory, and Cao's troops who were sieging the city continued to roll down the slope.
Li Jiyu waved his hand from time to time and increased his troops to the collapsed place. Cao's camp archers gathered under the city and shot arrows behind the city walls, causing heavy casualties and unscheduled.
In the fierce battle, the rolling corpses gradually raised. Under the continuous attacks of Cao's army, the rest of the defenders could not support them. The defenders on the back of the slope suddenly ran away and fled behind them.
The soldiers of Cao's camp immediately flooded the earth like mercury and kept pouring into the city.
Under the banner of the big crow outside the city, Li Jiyu stood on a horse and stared at Dengzhou City.
Suddenly, the city gate creaked open, and Li Jiyu couldn't help laughing, "The army attacked and attacked the city!"
"Kill!" The soldiers of Cao's camp shouted, whistling and rushed towards the city gate, and the army poured into Dengzhou city in one fell swoop.
At dusk, the battle in Dengzhou City has ended.
The Cao's army who attacked the city cleaned the city and then welcomed Li Jiyu into the city.
At this time, surrounded by the brigade generals, Li Jiyu came to the county munition, stepped on the blood mud that reached the instep and entered the temporary festival hall.
"Hahaha!" Li Jiyu laughed and said, "After taking Dengzhou, you can take Xinye in the south and break Nanyang in the north. Li Guo can't jump around for a few days. Gao Huan wanted to use a manifesto, but he scared me and stopped me from unifying the great and surrender. It was really a delusion."
Many soldiers and generals in Cao's camp smiled and agreed, but they felt a little upset.
After all, Liang State was domineering, not a day or two. Gao Huan interfered in the internal affairs and supported Li Guo's opposition to Chang'an, which really made many generals in Cao's camp popular, but everyone did not dare to take Gao Huan's words seriously.
Previously, Gao Huan issued a manifesto declaring that Hunan was the sphere of influence of Liang State. Whoever moves Hunan He Tengjiao is declared war on Liang State.
Zhang Xianzhong of Daxi held many soldiers and generals, and did not believe in this evil and insisted on attacking Hunan. As a result, the Liang State declared war immediately.
Not long after, Gao Huan personally led a large army to fight westward, first fighting with Zhang Xianzhong at Poyang Lake, and then fighting decisively in Wuchang. In the end, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in a row.
If it weren't for the Qing army and Li Jiyu's attack, Zhang Xianzhong would not have been able to protect Jingzhou and would have been driven into Sichuan by Gao Huan.
Now Gao Huan speaks again, and many generals in Cao's camp say that they are not worried, it must be fake.
However, the Cao army could not give up the plan to eliminate opposition armed forces and unify the country just because of Gao Huan's manifesto.

Xinye City, Li Guo Daying.
At this time, a team of scouts came from the north and rushed into the front of the camp.
"The military situation is urgent, and I need to report to the supervisor!"
The soldiers guarding the camp gate quickly moved away from the horse-rejecting stake, the scout turned over and dismounted, and ran into the camp quickly.
In the camp, in a large tent covering an area of two acres, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin and others were standing in front of the map, discussing the current situation.
"Li Laiheng has already gone to Liang State. Will that boy Gao Huan send troops?" Liu Zongmin said with a dark face.
Li Guo had a gloomy face, "This matter is not accurate! The Gu Wang knew Gao Huan's thoughts! He had been refusing to send troops, but was actually waiting for the Gu Wang to surrender to him."
Liu Zongmin said angrily: "That boy Gao Huan is daydreaming! He can't even think about it if he wants to annex us!"
When many generals of Shun Army heard the words, they lowered their heads, their cheeks bulged, and their expressions were solemn.
Now Li Jiyu is in great power, and they are alone and alone. With their own strength, they cannot repel Cao's troops, and they cannot attack Guanzhong and overthrow Li Jiyu's rule.
If there is no foreign aid, then they only have three ways to go.
First, he fought against Li Jiyu and eventually died in battle.
The second is to surrender to Gao Huan, and the third is to surrender to Zhang Xianzhong.
If you surrender to Gao Huan, you will be protected by the powerful Liang Kingdom.
Western and Shun countries are both regimes established by the peasant uprising army. Many generals of the Shun army surrendered to Zhang Xianzhong and would feel more at ease.
At this time, everyone in the tent was talking. Liu Fangliang picked up the tent and said anxiously: "The State Supervisor, Dengzhou has fallen!"
When Li Guo and others heard the words, they were silent when the tent was in the middle of the tent.
The fall of Dengzhou was actually expected by many generals of the Shun Army, but they had no choice but to do anything about it.
This is the sorrow of the weak in troubled times. They knew in their hearts, but could not rescue them, so they could only watch Li Jiyu capture Dengzhou.
At this time, the tent was silent for a moment, and Liu Zongmin said in a deep voice: "The country supervises, you still have to ask Gao Huan for help. If Gao Huan sends troops to fight Li Jiyu, we can see the time and the fisherman will benefit!"
Now the only hope for the Shun Army is to send troops to fight Cao's army.
If both sides suffer losses, then the Shun Army can take advantage of the situation to attack, defeat Li Jiyu, and take the opportunity to enter Guanzhong.
Liu Zongmin wanted to use Gao Huan, but Gao Huan refused to send troops.
Li Guo said with a gloomy face: "The Lone King has sent envoys to ask Gao Huan to send troops several times, but Gao Huan has refused. What can the Lone King do?"
Liu Zongmin said: "If it really doesn't work, I will ced Nanyang and Xiangyang to Gao Huan's son. He refused to send troops. Isn't it because we didn't give the conditions he wanted? Now as long as we defeat Li Jiyu like the Liang army and regain the land of Guanzhong, I thought we could ced Nanyang and Xiangyang to Gao Huan in exchange for the Liang Kingdom to send troops!"
