Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

When everyone heard that he could actually quote a line from Sun Tzu's Art of War, they instantly looked up to him.

He continued, "It's just right that we can't all enter the city with 35,000 soldiers."

"Let's gather up our armor, weapons, and strongest soldiers and move them into the city."

"Then, let the 10,000 weakest soldiers without armor and weapons guard the four gates."

"This is called showing weakness to the enemy."

"When the enemy army fights with the soldiers outside the city for a while and starts to become arrogant, the elite troops of the Kong family will immediately rush out from the four gates and kill them by surprise."

"By attacking them unexpectedly, we will surely defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop and enhance the prestige of our Kong family army!"

After his explanation, Kong Yinzhi and the others were excited.

As for the lives of the soldiers outside the city, they don't care.

"it is good!"

Kong Yinzhi was so excited that he slammed the table and stood up: "Let's kill the thief with one stone!"

"You are the commander of my Kong family army. You are in charge of all military arrangements!"

Seeing that his plan was accepted, Liu Zhongdi was overjoyed: "Thank you for your trust, sir. I will definitely live up to your trust!"

When Kong Hongyi heard the plan, he felt something was wrong, but he also felt that it made some sense, so he did not object for the time being.

So that afternoon, the Kong family army outside the city began to move into the city.

Zhang San and his companions were the first batch of well-equipped Kong family soldiers, so they were naturally among those who entered the city to garrison.

This made him very happy, and he encouraged Yang Tiedan and the other man in private.

"Did you two see that? What did I say?"

"As a human being, you always have to have something to pursue."

"Yesterday we were still struggling with how to enter the city when the battle started."

"Look at what happens now? Isn't the opportunity here? Hahahaha!"

Yang Tiedan and the other man nodded vigorously, and their confidence in Zhang San's grand plan instantly increased.

Chapter 496: Bastard! How do you shoot arrows?

"What! Only leave 10,000 soldiers outside the city?"

After receiving the order, Kong Zhenlai covered his dizzy head, very confused.

"Who the hell gave this order?"

"This is the order of the commander-in-chief."

"Commander? Another one with the surname Liu!"

Kong Zhenlai finally understood that no matter how outstanding he was, it was useless.

Who says Liu Zhongdi is the son-in-law of the Duke?

This relationship is much closer than that between ourselves.

My grandfather and I are distant relatives, so far apart.

If I didn't have the ability to do the job of county magistrate, I might not even be qualified to step into the gate of Yanshenggong Mansion.

This Yanshenggong Mansion...

Forget it.

Let’s wait until the rebel army arrives and look at the specific situation before making plans.

Kong Zhenlai sighed and led his troops back to Qufu City.

The next day was October 5th, the eighth year of the Tianqi reign.

The sky cleared up during the day, the snow stopped and the wind died down.

A few miles west of Qufu City, a cloud of dust suddenly rose, and a team of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came towards them with murderous intent.

The leader was Li Zicheng.

He curled up on the horse's back, his body swaying as the horse galloped.

He was leisurely chewing betel nut in his mouth.

"Uncle, Qufu County is not far ahead."

Li Guo pointed to the faint wisp of smoke rising from the white snow in the distance.

Upon hearing this, Li Zicheng immediately sat up straight and looked forward. Sure enough, there was a city standing in the snow in the distance.

"Tui......."

He spat the betel nut residue in his mouth directly onto the snow beside the road.

The old horse under the seat smelled the scent and turned his head to take a look, his eyes full of pity.

Boss! This is imported betel nut. If you don't want to eat it, give it to me like you did last time! You are wasting food......

But Li Zicheng shouted: "Give orders, after entering Qufu, do not approach the Confucius Temple or enter the Confucius Cemetery!"

"The most holy teacher cannot be insulted!"

"We are here mainly for Confucius, to clean up the mess and teach these disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial descendants of the sage a lesson, so that they won't tarnish the sage's reputation!"

"Yes!" Li Guo left to pass the order.

Chonglou stepped forward and said, "Prince Chuang, after the city is captured, what do you want to do with this Duke Yansheng?"

Li Zicheng threw another betel nut into his mouth, chewed it, and immediately a strong smell rushed into his mouth.

I couldn't help but praise: "Great!"

Chonglou: .......

What do you mean? Will it be great if we catch Duke Yansheng?

Li Zicheng saw his expression and knew that he would misunderstand. He couldn't help but smile and said, "How should we deal with him? Just ignore it. We'll see how he behaves and how I feel at that time!"

Chonglou thought about it for a moment and then felt relieved.

"Well, since we are going to rob the Kong family, we will all be cursed, so what difference does it make whether we live or die?"

"drive!!!"

Having said that, he rode his horse forward.

In the mansion of Duke Yansheng, Kong Yinzhi was sleeping soundly by the warm stove and the gauze tent with his beauty by his side, but he was disturbed by a sharp shout.

"Master! Master! Something terrible has happened! The enemy troops are coming! The enemy troops are coming!"

Kong Yinzhi woke up from his dream in shock and unexpectedly pushed the beauty beside him aside, causing a wave of ups and downs.

He asked in panic: "The rebels have already entered the city!!!"

"No, sir. The enemy army is still a mile or two away from the west gate."

Kong Yinzhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

If we can’t get into the city, then everything is fine!

There are still more than 20,000 elite troops in this city!

When he came to his senses, he found that the servant had rushed directly to his bed. He got angry and kicked him down.

"Get out! You don't even have the right to come into my bedroom!"

The servant felt aggrieved. This was not an urgent military situation... He quickly crawled out of the dormitory.

The rebels were already at the gates of the city, and Kong Yinzhi no longer had the heart to sleep, so he immediately got up and got dressed.

Just in case, he put on a suit of armor and then ordered all the officials to gather in front of the west gate tower to observe the enemy.

When he, Liu Zhongdi and others arrived at the top of the city wall, Li Zicheng's army had already arrived three hundred meters away.

Looking at the thousands of Kong family soldiers blocking the west gate moat, and looking back at the elite troops in the city ready to attack at any time, Kong Yinzhi felt relieved.

"With the Kong family army here today, Qufu has nothing to worry about!"

He patted Liu Zhongdi on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job. After this battle, the whole world will know the reputation of our Kong family army! I will ask the court for credit for you!"

Liu Zhongdi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Lord Taishan! How dare I take credit for it? Lord Taishan remained calm in the face of adversity and made strategic plans. This is my greatest achievement in the battle!"

The father-in-law and son-in-law flattered each other, and Kong Zhenlai, who was standing behind, couldn't stand it anymore.

A few hundred meters away, Li Zicheng and his men had plundered so many cities, but this was the first time they saw so many soldiers forming a battle array outside a city.

Li Guo asked: "Uncle, how do we take this city?"

Li Zicheng chewed betel nut and said: "What should we do? Just do it!"

"Zhonglou, Gao Yigong, you two take your elite troops and charge first to test their strength."

"I obey your command!" After saying that, the two men led their elite cavalry to charge towards the Kong family army under the city gate.

Kong Zhenlai was sharp-eyed and was the first to shout, "Look, the enemy didn't set up a battle formation, but rushed straight over!"

Kong Yinzhi was shocked and quickly shouted to Liu Zhongdi: "Quick, quick, tell the soldiers outside the city to stop them! Act according to the original plan!"

Liu Zhongdi was also very nervous and immediately sent someone to pass the message.

"Shoot the arrows! Use the bows and arrows to hold the fort!"

As soon as the order was given, the five hundred archers on the city wall immediately drew their bows and shot arrows.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

After a burst of sporadic arrows, there was a wailing outside the city.

Few of these rookie archers could shoot a hundred meters away. Their arrows were crooked and either hit the open ground or pierced their own soldiers.

Kong Yinzhi was quite happy when he heard it at first, but when he looked carefully, he realized that his Kong family soldiers had stabbed themselves, and he couldn't help but get furious.

"Asshole! How do you shoot an arrow?"

But what made him even more angry was yet to come.

When thousands of enemy soldiers rushed over, the Kong family soldiers under the city actually ran away to both sides very naturally and cooperatively.

A large path was left open, allowing the enemy army to reach the suspension bridge directly.

“This…this, this…”

Kong Yinzhi and Liu Zhongdi were shocked. They never expected that their Kong family army would just leave without any resistance or obstruction.

Kong Zhenlai and Kong Hongyi couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh upon seeing this, then quietly went down the city wall.

By the moat, Gao Yigong saw several people wearing official uniforms on the city wall, and immediately pointed his gun at them.

"Who on the city wall is the bastard called Duke Yansheng? Come out and speak!"

Kong Yinzhi was furious when he heard this: "How dare you disrespect me!"

"Shoot him! Shoot him to death!"

At the order given, another rain of arrows shot down.

Gao Yigong, Chonglou and other generals, sitting on their horses, just casually waved their swords and guns a few times to block the few arrows shot at this side from the city.

"Hahahaha, what the hell is the level of this archer!" Several people looked at each other and laughed when they saw this.

Chapter 497 Do you remember, Confucius once said!

The Kong family army of 35,000 people sounds very impressive.

But when the fighting really started, the gap between them and the Qin army was completely exposed.

All the way from Shaanxi to here, the Qin army still retains the original group of members.

The men in Qin are least afraid of hardship.

As long as they have food to eat and can see hope of survival, there is nothing they dare not do.

Unscrupulous businessmen have been killed, corrupt officials have been chopped off, and even the royal palace has been smashed.
