The intensely shining white light fell instantly, making people unprepared, accompanied by the loud noise caused by thunder and lightning rubbing the air.
"Boom...hole..."
The sound of lightning striking something.
At this moment, people in the distance outside the city wall could clearly see a bolt of lightning that was like a huge shining fire snake, twisting in the air and descending, and then struck down on the city head with lightning speed.
"What's going on?" No one around Zhang Yicheng realized what happened, and their eyes flashed white for an instant. It wasn't until the person who recovered his vision from the bright white eyes looked at the scene in front of him that he asked in disbelief.
The Zhang Yicheng in front of him was lifeless. A moment ago he was still shouting, but now he just opened his mouth and stared.
I saw that his hand was still raising the knife towards the sky, but the wisps of smoke coming out of his body showed what he had experienced. Several Qing soldiers behind Zhang Yicheng seemed to have been implicated by him. At this moment, they all softened and fell down.
The powerful lightning strike instantly heated up the rainwater falling on the city wall. The several siege green soldiers not far in front of Zhang Yicheng could completely feel the heat transmitted from the city wall.
"This is..." Looking at Zhang Yicheng who was still standing there, the siege green soldiers who were still holding their swords on guard asked in disbelief.
"This is..."
There was a small sound of air breaking, and there was another burst of shining white light.
"Boom...hole..."
There was another sound of lightning striking.
At this moment, Zhang Yicheng, who was still standing with his sword in the air, finally fell to the ground slowly with the lightning strike.
However, just as he was about to fall to the ground.
"Bounce...hole..."
Another bolt of lightning roared down.
At this moment, Zhang Yicheng could finally fall to the ground.
I saw that his hand was still holding the knife tightly, but the hair and skin on his body were burnt, like black coal. The clothes on his body even showed signs of being burned, but the fire was quickly extinguished by the rain falling from the sky.
If Zhang Rui saw this scene in front of him, he would sigh: Don't pretend to be cool, otherwise you will be struck by lightning.
The powerful current once again heated up the rainwater on the city road. In addition to the heat brought by the rainwater, people next to Zhang Yicheng's body could feel the numbness in their legs due to the current.
The scene is eerie and quiet
"Wow..."
The strong wind whipped up a burst of heavy rain, and the crackling hits on people's faces made people feel pain.
"God helps suppress the bandits, and heaven destroys the Qing Dynasty..."
At this moment, the soldiers of the siege green camp facing Zhang Yicheng heard a cry from behind.
"God helps suppress the bandits, and heaven destroys the Qing Dynasty..."
Before many people could hear the previous words clearly, another burst of sound came out.
Regardless of whether it was a divine help or not, this slogan was enough to boost the morale of the troops attacking the city to an unprecedented level.
"Kill..."
The siege soldiers of the green camp clenched their sword handles, feeling stronger than ever before. They yelled and rushed to the defenders in the city wall to fight with them.
On the other hand, the Qing soldiers on the city wall road looked more confused, not knowing what to do at all. Just when some people were preparing to fight to the death, they heard a voice not far away from them:
"I surrender, I surrender..."
Surrendering Qing soldiers kept spreading from Zhang Yicheng's body. At this time, the green battalion soldiers and the bandit-suppressing troops who were attacking the city no longer had any concerns about anything else, and quickly occupied the city wall along the way.
The defenders surrendered so quickly that it was unbelievable. For the defenders who knelt on the wall and blocked the way, the attackers even had to kick a way out.
"Quick...quick...come and help, call the city gate." Mr. Qian, a Green Camp soldier who quickly seized the city gate, shouted loudly to the Green Camp soldiers following him.
"Yes... sir."
With the addition of manpower, the wood, sand and stones blocking the city gate were quickly moved away.
"Squeak..."
The heavy city gate finally opened slowly with the combined efforts of everyone.
Looking at the opened city gate, Li Ziju, who was still a little worried at first, finally felt relieved.
What Hao Yikang said before is not unreasonable, although they have not yet received news of Qing reinforcements. However, once they received reinforcements from the Qing army, it meant that they were already in danger.
Compared with the Qing army, their bandit suppression army can only be said to be a lone army. Once their attack on the city is blocked and surrounded by the Qing army, it will take at least two months for reinforcements to arrive here.
Without the protection of the city wall, under the combined attack of the Qing army, no matter how brave the bandit suppressors were, they would be defeated.
Li Ziju felt that since he had joined the bandit suppression army, he no longer expected that the Manchu Qing court would forgive him. Just as the officers of the bandit suppression army said, Wu Sangui must have contributed a lot to the Qing Dynasty, but in the end, the Tatar emperor forced them to rebel, and a family was destroyed.
I want military success but not military success, I want military merit but not military merit. If the Manchu and Qing court had won, and he could still be alive, then he would be a ghost.
The city guard general is dead, the city gate is opened, and it is only a matter of time before Yanping City is captured.
Once Yanping Mansion is captured by the bandit suppressing army, the entire northwest of Fujian will be completely exposed to the bandit suppressing army. The remaining Qing army in Shaowu City was isolated and difficult to support, which was no longer a concern.
This method of suppressing the bandit army and driving out the green camp to fight against the green camp has achieved quite good results along the way. Not only does it reduce our own casualties, but we can also continuously absorb some high-quality troops.
This is exactly the same as the method used by the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty to use the Han army to fight the Han people. It's just that things have changed. The Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, which were said to be invincible at the time, now appear so fragile under the sword of the bandit suppressing army.
After Fujian is captured, the bandit-suppression army will definitely march into Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Once the bandit-suppressing army can capture Nanjing, the richest place in the world will be in the bag of the bandit-suppressing army. At that time, the bandit suppression army had revitalized the entire situation and had the capital to compete with the behemoth Manchu Qing Dynasty in the world.
Every time he thought of this, Li Ziju couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
In the eyes of others, being able to defend may be very good, but Li Ziju believes that he should have better achievements. Under the Manchu system, Li Ziju could only accept his fate, but the arrival of the bandit suppressing army gave him different hope.
Gambling is inherent in everyone. It may be safer to bet after the situation is stable, but it will never be more profitable than taking the risk. What's more, Li Ziju didn't think he would lose the bet.
The rain finally stopped slowly.
As the rain stopped, the fighting in Yanping Mansion also slowly stopped. Zhang Yicheng's "accidental" death accelerated the defeat of the Yanping Mansion defenders. At this time, there were no soldiers and horses fighting in Yanping City.
Yanping Mansion was captured by the bandit suppressing army with unexpected results.
When the news reached the capital, the officials were shocked, and some even wanted to accuse Zhang Yicheng of "immorality."
