"Yes, Master."

The attendant outside the door replied, but at this moment, a thunderous explosion suddenly erupted, rumbling, making Hou Xun's cup fall off.

"What's going on?"

He said something, then stood up suddenly, his face changing drastically.

He saw someone stumble and break into him and said in a panic: "Master, it's a cannon!"

Hou Xun's heart trembled and said in panic: "Architecture? Where can I shoot? Are the thieves coming?"

Just as these words were said, another thunder exploded, and Fengqiu suddenly became like a pot of boiling water, and became a mess. Hou Xun was extremely frightened and shouted: "Go away quickly, go!"

Even my wives and concubines were not caring about me, so I ran away.

At this time, the head of Fengqiu City was already ruined. Under the city, four 12,000 soldiers and horses were arranged in a forest. Two hundred small and exquisite tiger squatting cannons were shining with a faint golden light, and they continued to spray out fierce sparks. In the smoke of gunpowder, the cannons as thick as bowls flashed and thundered, crossing hundreds of meters of distance, smashing the city walls and rocks, falling into the city, and the houses were filled with holes.

The Ming army on the top of the city cried and howled, with heavy casualties and no counterattack could be organized.

The tiger squat cannon fired three rounds in a row, and with a rumbling sound, it collapsed the Fengqiu city wall, revealing a huge gap, and the shelling was stopped. Then the gunmen with a pale gray armor crossed the cannon formation and crushed towards the gap in the city wall with neat steps.

Fengqiu is just a county town, and the city wall is far from comparable to a heavy city like Kaifeng, regardless of its height, thickness and width. In addition, the political situation in the late Ming Dynasty was declining and the finances were difficult, and Fengqiu's wall had not been repaired for many years. Hou Xu stationed his troops here and did not think about spending money to repair it.

With the power of the tiger squat cannon improved by gold and yuan alloy, in fact, after the first round of artillery bombardment, the city wall was already shaking. Three rounds of artillery bombardment were just a force.

The soldiers were armed to their teeth, except for a pair of eyes, and there was no flaw on their bodies. The spearmen erected a light golden spear and pressed over in a row. A distance of hundreds of meters passed in an instant. The spearmen were in front and the spearmen were behind, covering each other and following up quickly.

The crackling gun sounded first to kick off. As soon as the Ming army, who escaped by luck behind the city wall, showed up, they were greeted by a platoon of guns.

The spearmen rushed into the city along the gap, stabbed the spears and stood firm in their positions. Some spearmen quickly moved away the ruins of the collapse of the city wall, and the spearmen immediately rushed into it.

After a moment, the city gate opened wide.

Then the cavalry went out, and the horse's hooves rumbled, trampling on the earth and slashed in from the city gate.

The shouts of killing were loudly buzzing, and the roar of muskets were mixed with countless screams. The Ming army that had just gathered in the city was immediately severely injured.

After several rounds of guns, the gunmen who rushed into the city from the gap expanded their positions. The gunmen quickly gathered into a square formation and advanced like a wall. The spears were stabbed in rows, and the Ming army was defeated in an instant.

Then a group of gunmen gathered together and spread out in cooperation with each other, spreading along the alley like a spider web.

The cavalry rushing in through the city gate first shot a round of gunfire, defeating the Ming army gathered on the main street, then lifted the sword and rushed in.

Blood and screams filled the entire city, and Fengqiu, who were still holding on to the Ming army, hid at home and shivered.

The Ming army could not even organize a decent counterattack. Under the impact of Ying Yi's army, they fell to the ground one by one, leaving behind broken limbs and broken arms.

Even some brave ones were completely useless to hit Ying Yi's soldiers' armor with a musket. At most, the person who hit him took a step back or left a little invisible mark on the armor, and was crushed by the army and his soul flew to the end.

Even muskets are useless, let alone swords, spears, swords, and slashes, and jingles, and at most a little spark appears.

Ying Yi rode his horse into the city, trampling on the flesh and mud, with a expressionless face. The shouts of killing had gone far away and went deep into the depths of Fengqiu. In the broken limbs and arms, some Ming troops who abandoned their weapons curled up into a ball and shivered, as if they were welcoming the arrival of a king.

On both sides of the street that has become a bloody river, occasionally doors quietly open a gap, revealing their fearful eyes.

"Prepare to clean the battlefield."

Ying Yi said lightly.

...

Hou Xun took his wife and concubine in the carriage and fled to the north of the city in panic. Behind him, the generals of the two towns of soldiers also ran wildly like crazy, and the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. Hou Xun's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and his mouth became ashen.

"Master, the North Gate has arrived!"

When Hou Xun heard this, he took a long breath: "Hurry, get out of the city!"

As the city gate creaked open, Hou Xun and several carriages rumbled past the city gate, and then ended abruptly!

Driven by inertia, Hou Xun almost knocked out and couldn't help but be furious: "What's going on!"

There was no response outside the car.

Hou Xun lifted the curtain and stopped.

...

Ying Yi sat upright on the Taishi chair and looked very quiet.

In the hall, Zheng Wu was reporting on the battle situation.

"...beheaded more than 15,000 people and captured more than 6,000 people... Anmin notice has been posted, and it has not violated the people at all..."

At this time, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside the door, and Wang Yisheng pressed his sword and walked in first.

Zheng Wu just finished the report and stepped down. Wang Yisheng stepped forward, beat his chest and fist and said, "Lord, Hou Xun and the soldiers and generals of the two towns have all been arrested!"

Ying Yi smiled at this time: "Okay, bring it in."

Wang Yisheng turned around and went out. After a moment, more than ten people were pushed into the hall.

The leader was an old man with a pale face. Judging from his image, if he looked frightened, he would have a bit of literary temperament, but his shrunk appearance clearly had no charm.

Sure enough, as soon as this man entered, he fell to the ground and shouted: "God of life, General, General!"

Seeing this, the other generals and officials also called for forgiveness.

Ying Yi frowned, and Wang Yisheng hurried forward, kicked some mournful people to the ground with a few kicks, and shouted: "Stop!"

Suddenly he was silent.

"Which one is Hou Xun?" Ying Yi asked lightly.

The old literati kowtowed quickly and said, "I am, I am."

Ying Yi nodded: "I look like it. Your backbone is like mud and timid. Who is it if it is Hou Xun?"

Hou Xun hurriedly said, "The general's eyes are as sharp as torch, and his eyes are as sharp as torch!"

Ying Yi laughed: "Take it out and kill it."

Hou Xun was stunned and screamed in pain: "General, please spare me, spare my life. I still have some use, but I still have some use!"

Ying Yi waved his hand: "It's unpleasant to see, let's take it down and kill it."

Wang Yisheng responded, waved his hand, and soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed in, dragging Hou Xun and others up and walked out. Letting struggle and scream, it would be useless.

Ying Yi had no sympathy at all.

At this time, Qian Yue entered.

"Master."

Ying Yi waved his hand and said, "Sit."

Qian Yue bowed and said, "These cartilage..."

"Kill them all." Ying Yi said.

Qian Yue said: "It's not all about cartilage."

He said: "The last one will bring a hard bone."

"Oh?" Ying Yi was stunned for a moment: "There are still hard bones?"

He saw someone being pushed in. When he saw Ying Yi, he didn't bow, held his head up and looked at him sideways.

"Who is this?"

"The magistrate of Fengqiu County is here, Ying thief, don't be arrogant!" The man groaned and shouted.
