The Bozhou rebellion lasted for more than half a year. From the momentum at the beginning, to the stalemate between the two sides, to the final retreat, the situation was as expected by the Ming Dynasty. After the Qi court turned its attention here, Bozhou could no longer withstand it.

The Qi army was supplemented by the county soldiers of Bingzhou and Yizhou, and was dominated by a Longxiang army directly under the imperial court. They attacked from three sides and approached Bozhou County. In a month after the full counterattack, most of the territory of Bozhou had fallen into the hands of the imperial court.

In Liyang County, Yu Xiu'e shrank behind the walls and looked at the situation under the city from time to time. In the sky, countless stones were flying everywhere. Above the city top, the city tower had long been destroyed, and everywhere was filled with stones flying from afar.

Liyang County was the last place to resist before Bozhou County. Bozhou could not be preserved. This is an unchangeable fact, unless the Ming Dynasty began to intervene in Bozhou on a large scale, but this is not in line with the current strategy of the Ming Dynasty. After the two sides signed a peace agreement, it was an unchangeable fact that Liyang was still fighting desperately to resist because he wanted to gain more time for the retreat of Bozhou County.

The one who was responsible for the defense in Liyang was the three thousand Ming troops led by Yu Xiu'e. The one who attacked Liyang was the most elite Long Xiang army, the Qi army. This was also the first time that the Ming army met the most elite army of Qi on the battlefield.

Yu Xiu'e fought with the Qi army, but the one who fought with her at that time was the border army of Qi. The Longxiang Army of Qi was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor of Qi. Whether it was equipment or combat effectiveness, it was better than the border army. After fighting for three days, although he defended Liyang, Yu Xiu'e also fought very hard.

The stone bombs in the sky were still flying endlessly, and Yu Xiu'e simply turned over and lay down. How many trenchers have Qi Ren built in the past few days? After a few days, the city walls were beyond recognition, and some places were already very broken, and they were built with sandbags to block the gap.

After the last stone bullet bounced on the ground a few times, a mountain-like shouting sounded. Yu Xiu'e climbed up and followed the big sword that was placed aside. Qi army was already very close to the city wall.

There was no need for her to give her a tip. On the top of the city, the fish nets were pulled apart, and the silk skin and the stones on it were torn apart, revealing the scarred thunder fire below. In order to resist the stone bombs, layers of fish nets were pulled up above these thunder fires, and the silk cloths were all pulled out. These things naturally could not completely block the stone bombs, but they could effectively reduce the attack power of the stone bombs. The shells of the thunder fire were made of iron, and the damage caused to him by losing most of the thunder fires was limited.

"Start!" The officer's hoarse roar came from behind. Then the roar of the thunder fire sounded, and dozens of thunder fires roared at the same time, and almost no other sound could be heard on the city wall. Countless stone bullets instantly flew from the top of the city toward the Qi army attacking under the city.

Because he had decided to give up Bozhou City, most of the Thunderbolt Fires in Bozhou City had been moved to Liyang, so the defensive strength here was far beyond Qi Jun's estimate.

The most powerful attack power of the Thunder Fire is actually their iron bombs. However, in order to pursue the rate of fire, it naturally gave up the iron bombs and switched to stone bombs. Anyway, there are many stones on the top of the city now, and it can be used directly after a little polishing. Among the dozens, only two or three are still firing red iron bombs.

After three days of battle, Long Xiangjun was already quite familiar with the performance of the Thunderbolt Fire above the city. The reason why he made so many trenchers was to kill these Thunderbolt Fires, but now it seems that the effect is not good.

Yu Xiu'e looked at the Qi army under the city and shook her head at the attack effect of the Thunderbolt Fire above the city. The Qi people created quite a few simple Mengchong cars. The soldiers hid under the Mengchong cars and approached the city wall. The stone bullets shot from the Thunderbolt Fire fell on the roof of the Mengchong cars with the thickness of the bowl. Apart from making some sounds of bang, they basically could not kill the enemy in large quantities. The ones that really caused huge damage to the enemy were the burning iron bullets.

As long as the iron bombs land on these Mengchong cars, they will either be broken or cause a fire, forcing the Qi people to escape from the Mengchong cars.

Unfortunately, the storage of iron bullets is limited. Before the Qi people launched the general attack, Yu Xiu'e didn't want to show her last trump card.

Behind him, the soldiers were frantically clearing out the messy stones and debris above the city wall. A crossbow machine was moved out of the tunnel cave and installed on the city wall.

"Prepare for battle!" Yu Xiu'e shouted sternly.

Under the city, Qi army, who had already passed the range of the thunder fire, rushed out from under the Mengchong car and carried a series of ladders toward the city wall. Several striking cars that survived the violent attack of the thunder fire were also approaching step by step. The dozens of powerful crossbows installed on the siege car would shake violently every time they were launched. The crossbow arrows pierced deeply into the city wall and landed on the ground. These crossbow machines pose a great threat to the Ming army above the wall.

"Strong crossbow, cover and shoot, knock them out for me." An officer roared. Just now, several Ming troops were strung into blood gourds by crossbow arrows flying from a siege car. "Aim at them and hit them one by one."

Above the city, several powerful crossbows raised their noses. Unlike the Qi army's powerful crossbows, the Ming army's powerful crossbows fired three at a time, with a much closer range, but the firing rate was faster. In fact, the Ming army's weapons all have one thing in common, that is, they pursue the speed of shooting, such as strong crossbows, such as crossbows, and such as Thunderbolt Fire.

Dozens of powerful crossbows roared away, and a siege car closest to the city wall swayed, making a squeaking sound, and collapsed with a loud scream of Qi soldiers on the car.

The sound of bang kept ringing. They were Mengchong chariots hitting the city wall with huge impact. The entire city wall seemed to be shaking. Ladders were put on the city wall. The Qi army under the city braved the rainy crossbow arrows, holding a shield in one hand and a steel knife and an iron spear in the other, climbing towards the city head. From time to time, someone was shot and screaming and lifted down from the ladder.

"Axe, putter." An officer was yelling.

The strong soldier rushed up with his axe, swung his axe hard, slashed the hook on the ladder, and then pushed the ladder one by one, and then pushed the ladder one by one. Dozens of soldiers roared and exerted force, pushing the ladder far away from the city wall. Qi Jun, who was on the ladder, fell down from the ladder like dumplings.

Yu Xiu'e stood on the top of the city wall with her armor. The Ming army's combat system was quite complete, and the officers of each department took their own responsibility, so she, the supreme commander, did not need to inquire about everything. Her role at this time was more to boost morale. However, it is extremely rare to stand on the top of the city wall like her in a big red cloak.

Of course, she also attracted arrows like locusts.

She was too lazy to deal with ordinary feather arrows. The arrows flying from afar came to her place, and the force was basically extremely small. When she shot on her armor, she could not even scratch her it, except for a few jingling sounds. Only when a crossbow arrow flew over her occasionally, she would wave her big knife and cut it off.

The general is brave. He has such a ruthless general standing on the top of the city. Moreover, when this general was still a woman, the Ming army above the city naturally had a huge ambition of hormones, and they all seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.

In the distance, General Zhang Heng, the commander of the Qi army, stared at the swaying red cloak above the city wall, and his mouth twitched a few times. As of now, he naturally knew the identity of the other party. Although he was under the banner of Zhou Shuguang on the city wall, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were fighting against him. He knew very well.

In the past few days, the blow to his confidence has been huge. The 10,000 Longxiang Army, and the young and strong recruited along the way, his military strength was as high as 20,000, but he was blocked outside Liyang City. After several days of attack, he found nothing, but was killed and injured. Liyang was like a reef in the sea, although it was shaking, but it was standing.

"This woman is named Yu Xiu'e. She was originally from our Daqi family, but later married Huang Hao, a Ming native, who was called a monk under the command of Emperor Qin Feng of Ming. She is now the head general of the Ming army's Ruijin Camp." Around her, a general who was familiar with the Ming army's organization introduced in a low voice.

"I care who she is." Zhang Heng shouted: "Send a few people to mingle among the soldiers and kill her."

"General Zhang, as far as we know, Yu Xiu'e's martial arts cultivation is extremely high, at least at level nine. There is no master in our army who can kill her." A helpless voice came from beside her. "Sending someone to assassinate her is simply to add military achievements to her."

After hearing this, Zhang Heng sighed helplessly: "I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking. If I could send me a master of the grandmaster, Li Yang would have taken it."

Everyone around them is silent. The masters of the grandmaster are not cats and dogs. They come when they can be called and go when they call them.

"Attack the city, attack the city!" Someone cheered loudly, but then the voice became hoarse again. After the red figure descended from the sky like a flying general, he was killed one by one at the top of the city.

The first wave of attacks quickly ended without success, and the attacking Qi army retreated like a tide, leaving only a single wreckage under the city.

"Prepare for the second round of attack." Zhang Heng said with a pale face: "The two county soldiers from Yizhou, Bingzhou are about to arrive at the city of Bozhou. If they are asked to arrive at Bozhou first, we don't need to ask for our Long Xiangjun's face. Let's find a rope to hang it."
