Chapter 243 Use each other
Hearing Wu Sangui's words, Li Xin was taken aback for a moment, instead of being angry, he smiled, pointed at Wu Sangui and said, "Sangui, when you grow up, you can be your own."

"Pfft!" The divas who had stopped on the top of the city suddenly let out a coquettish smile after hearing these words.At this time, the war in the city was over. Apart from the wailing of the war horses who had lost their masters, and the painful groans of the wounded soldiers, the silver bell-like voices of these divas immediately spread far away.Even a relatively stable person like Zhang Cai couldn't help laughing, not to mention Song Xiance on the side, he just laughed out loud.

"Li Xin, you, you are so presumptuous." Wu Sangui blushed furiously, pointed at Li Xin with his whip and said, "The rebels have already failed, and you are only left with a lonely city. Let's see where you can go. Go, Go after the rebels." Wu Sangui really didn't want to stay here anymore, he was afraid of being ridiculed by Li Xin constantly.Immediately, he led Guan Ning's cavalry to kill Kong Youde and the others at high speed.

"Hey, Kong Youde lost this time." Li Xin shook his head and said.

"I didn't expect Wu Sangui to be so treacherous." Song Xiance also frowned. He thought it was really the imperial army who came to kill him, but what he didn't expect was that it was not the imperial army who killed him at all, but Wu Sangui's trick. Hundreds of farmers, and then let them hold torches, in the dark, it is impossible to tell whether these people are farmers or torches. In the end, not only Li Xin and others were fooled, but even Chen was sometimes fooled.

"Treacherous?" Li Xin shook his head. If this person who was the third king of the early Qing Dynasty was a bit treacherous, he would have been eaten up by Kangxi long ago.

"But what about treachery? I really want to see how the imperial court will attack Dengzhou in the near future. Let the world see that this is how the imperial court treats meritorious ministers." Song Xiance said coldly.

"What if the imperial court issued an imperial edict?" Zhang Cai asked worriedly.

"The thieves outside have not been completely wiped out. For the sake of the people of a city, how can they open the city gate indiscriminately." Li Xin said with a smile: "Kong Youde is not so easy to eliminate, just wait! Kong Youde must have other ways .”

"Boom, boom!" There were bursts of explosions, and in the night sky, the naked eye could see orange-red light covering the night sky, and then it hit the ground fiercely, making loud noises.

"The red-clothed cannon!" Li Xin had seen the red-clothed cannon, and he had personally operated the cannon. Naturally, he remembered that the sound of the cannon was the sound of the red-clothed cannon.

"How could the rebel army have such a thing." Song Xiance and Zhang Cai looked at Li Xin and said.

"Sun Yuanhua used to train artillery in Denglai and cast a lot of cannons. I think that when Kong Youde captured Dengzhou, he transported all these cannons away. I said I came to Dengzhou City, why didn't I see them?" It turned out that the thief Kong Youde took away these red cannons." Li Xin said slightly dissatisfied.

"I'm afraid the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will suffer a big loss." Song Xiance said gloatingly.Zhang Cai and the others also nodded.

In fact, as Song Xiance said, Wu Sangui, who was attacking, did not expect that there were red cannons in the rebel camp, and nearly 200 people were killed just after a charge.This beat Wu Sangui completely sober.After some fights with Chen just now, although he defeated the opponent, he also lost nearly half of his soldiers and horses. After this cannon attack this time, Wu Sangui suddenly found that there were only nearly a hundred soldiers and horses around him. In this situation, Not to mention an attack, if people from the rebel camp swarmed out, they would be able to eat themselves clean.When he thought about how Wu Sangui would dare to attack the rebel camp here, he led the army and left without even thinking about it.

After a while, I saw a group of rebel soldiers rushing out of the camp to the west, all of them had their armor crooked and looked flustered, whoever it was if it wasn't Wu Xiang and Zu Dabi.These two guys killed Li Jiuzheng rashly. Although Kong Youde's army was confused, Kong Youde's troops were far more numerous than the opponent's. Although he couldn't help him for a while, but after a long attack and Wu Sangui's cavalry waiting for a long time, finally , Wu Xiang couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed out of the rebel camp with Zu Dabi leading the remnants of the defeated generals.Go look for Wu Sangui without mentioning it.

However, the rebel battalion lost the commander of Li Jiuzheng, and after Chen Shiyou, the general who led the cavalry, Kong Youde collected the remnants. Although there were thousands of people, their strength was much smaller.Kong Youde regretted endlessly in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have let Chen sometimes take the initiative to attack. Guan Ning cavalry is indeed Guan Ning cavalry. In this fight, although his own cavalry has the upper hand in quantity, it is much inferior in quality.Fortunately, at the end, he used the red cannon to attack the opponent, and he barely repelled him. Otherwise, I am afraid that the victory and defeat will really be decided tonight, and there is no need to fight.It's just that this battle has reached such a point that it is impossible to leave.

"Damn Li Xin, just watching from above, watching us both fight on the ground, I feel comfortable, really hateful." Mao Chenglu yelled loudly with his arm hanging in the big tent.

"Will his attack play any role?" Geng Zhongming snorted coldly: "If he doesn't come to attack, we are already doing well."

"Don't he know the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold?" Mao Chenglu sneered: "Even if the imperial army wiped out us, so what? The next one is Li Xin? Could it be that he can stop the tens of thousands of imperial troops with his thousands of troops? attack?"

"He can't stop him, so he must have other avenues." Kong Youde pondered: "In this situation, unless Li Xin confirms that the court will not dare to do anything to him, it is just a gift to send him out of Dengzhou, because Li Xin Xin is not like us, we are rebels, but interest is a meritorious minister. How many people in Shandong have not received his favor. Killing Li Xin, I am afraid that those people will not agree. There is another possibility , that is, Li Xin has already had other schemes to save him. But I can't think of any way he can do it?"

"Could it be that the army was dispatched from the grassland?" Geng Zhongming asked suddenly.

Kong Youde's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said, "If you want to send troops from the grassland, you have to make arrangements in advance. From here to Liaodong, it takes half a month to go back and forth. It's time again, the army is mobilized, and it is absolutely impossible to reach Dengzhou without a month or two. Li Xin's army may be able to wait for ten days and a half a month, but it will definitely not wait for a month or two. I am afraid that the matter is also under discussion, and there will be a response within ten days. The most important thing right now is us."

"We really can't do it, so let Jiannu pick us up. Or we might as well enter the Henan area at this time, make a big mess, and then say, either become a member of the rebel army, or look for opportunities to go Take refuge in Jiannu." Geng Zhongming rolled his eyes and said, "I used to be very optimistic about Jiannu, but now it's different. There is Li Xin on the grassland, who is about to unify the grassland. Lin Danhan is not his opponent, and Jiannu may not be either. His opponent, once we really surrender Jiannu, we may be killed by Li Xin one day. What do you think?"

"You want to rely on Li Xin? You are delusional. Li Xin will not take us in, and even kill us immediately." Kong Youde said disdainfully: "You know that Li Xinming knows that he is entangled with the soldiers and horses of the court. The imperial court will not let him go, but in this situation, does he still stick to Dengzhou and block our way? Because he hates us, or those who try to betray the Han nation, he has always boasted The second is Huo Qubing, how can such a person spare us? So he would rather risk being blocked by the imperial court in Dengzhou, but also block us in Dengzhou and prevent us from going to Jiannu? So he is going to seek refuge with Li Xin The people who are in this position should die as soon as possible! This guy is really ruthless, he is ruthless to the enemy, but he is also ruthless to himself."

"What should we do now?" Mao Chenglu asked nervously.

"Wait, shrink the big camp and get closer to Dengzhou City." Kong Youde rolled his eyes, suddenly thought of an idea, and said with a smile: "Since Li Xin doesn't want to come out, then we will go up, I don't believe it, our big brother Transferring Ying Wang under the city means putting one's own life and death under the opponent's bow and arrow."

"Isn't this going to be destroyed by the opponent?" Someone disagreed.

"Destroy? No, although Li Xin really wants us to die, but we have to wait until then, so that we can just rest there, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will only think that I have reached an agreement with Li Xin , won’t come to attack us, and won’t attack Li Xin until we figure out our relationship with Li Xin, that’s why Li Xin won’t shoot us.” Kong Youde said quite confidently.

"Right now, maybe there is only this way." Geng Zhongming also thought about it, and found that in fact, getting rid of this way can prevent the imperial army from continuing to attack, and there is no other way. Nodding, he immediately led the army to move the camp towards Dengzhou City overnight.

Li Xin in the city was just about to rest, but he didn't want Zhang Wu to report that Kong Youde had moved the camp to Dengzhou City, and asked if he should shoot with a crossbow.

After Li Xin heard this, he burst into laughter in surprise, and he quickly understood what Kong Youde meant, and said with a smile: "Forget it, that's it! As long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack, we will let him go! It’s good for one person to help us share the pressure of the imperial army.”

Sure enough, when Wu Xiang and others returned to Wu Sangui's camp, when they were about to reorganize their troops and horses to attack the rebels, some spies reported that the rebels had moved their camp to the foot of Dengzhou City, but they were not attacked. Withdraw the troops and return to the camp, and order Pegasus to tell Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian.
