"General! Yongchang City is ahead!"

A Tang army guard stretched out his finger and pointed to a tall city standing on Gaogang in the distance, staring happily on the face of the throne, and said loudly.

Huang Degong nodded, raised the Qianli Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles

He put down the Qianli Mile Mile and immediately asked the guard beside him: "Do you know that the cavalry troops in front have arrived at the city?"

"Report to the general, the Feiyazi cavalry in front of him have all arrived at Yongchang City. Following your order, General, you have completely encircled all passages outside the four gates of Yongchang City. It is impossible for the Yongchang enemy troops to escape from the city now." The guard replied with a proud look.

"Very good!" Huang Degong also looked relieved: "As long as our army blocks Yongchang City in time, the King of Gui Zhu Youlang who is trapped in it will be difficult to escape, and he will have to surrender in the end!"

Speaking of this, Huang Degong shouted loudly: "Transfer our military orders and accelerate the advancement. Be sure to arrive at the city of Yongchang as soon as possible. This town wants to make the lonely city of Yongchang surrounded by a bird and unable to escape!"

"Get orders!"

Soon, the Tang army rushed towards Yongchang City like a surging tide, and immediately surrounded this important town in western Yunnan like an iron barrel.

Seeing that the Tang army was so large and so majestic, the defenders on the city wall who were already low in morale became even more angry. They stood at the city wall, their legs trembling, and they had no idea how to deal with it next.

The head general of the city, Yongchang general Deng Kai, saw such a powerful general in the Tang army, and his heart was filled with fear and loss.

what to do?

The Tang army is so powerful and the defenders in the city are so depressed. Can this Yongchang City really be defended?

Deng Kai was in a low mood and speechless for a long time. He subconsciously looked back at Zhu Youlang and the others who fled west, but only saw the setting sun in the distant sky that was gradually falling west.

The sun sets in the west, and the master goes away, and some slaughtered troops trapped in the lonely city. For a moment, Deng Kai felt inexplicably sad.

At this moment, a line suddenly split in the Tang army formation like waves. A Tang army general wearing an eight-petal tassel helmet, wearing steel mountain-patterned armor, copper-clad boots, and a bright red cloak, was walking slowly towards the north gate under the protection of a group of brightly armored guards.

Seeing the visitor dressed like this, Deng Kai thought to himself that this person must be the leader of the Tang army.

He was right, the Tang army general was Huang Degong, the mayor of the ninth town of the Tang army. Now, he was surrounded by a group of guards and soon arrived apart from the North Gate.

At this time, a guard next to him pulled his neck and shouted to the top of the city: "Hey! Listen to the people in the city! My head, Mayor Huang Degong, wants to talk to the King of Gui in the city, please go and report it quickly!"

Hearing the Tang army's shouts, the defenders on the city became more and more frightened. They subconsciously focused their helpless and panicked eyes on the main general Deng Kai.

When he heard Tang Jun’s call, Yongchang General Deng Kai sighed inexplicably.

Alas! If King Gui Zhu Youlang had not abandoned the city and fled, the morale of the defenders in the city would not have been so depressed.

When Deng Kai was stunned, the Tang army guard had already shouted at him impatiently.

Deng Kai suddenly had a flash of thought in his heart and shouted down, "Master Huang, I am Deng Kai, the general of Yongchang. Let me tell you the truth, King Gui has left Yongchang City long ago and I don't know where to go. Don't say any words of persuasion to surrender. Deng has decided to serve the court and be loyal to the country. If you have the courage, you can send troops to attack!"

When Deng Kai said this, Huang Degong frowned unconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youlang is really a bloodless thing.

This man fled from Kunming to Yongchang, but continued to flee without shame and was nowhere to be found. As a prince of the Ming Dynasty who was responsible for defending the territory, this man's actions are despicable and ridiculous.

Now, Huang Degong saw that the Yongchang General Deng Kai was still strong-mouthed and looked like he was ready to resist to the end, and then he smiled knowingly.

Deng Kai was so stubborn that he wanted to continue defending the city when Zhu Youlang had abandoned the city and fled. I really don’t know how to evaluate this person, so it is appropriate.

He replied loudly: "General Deng, after hearing you, I know that you should be a straightforward person, so I don't want to go around with you when I come today. Now I just want to tell you that even the King of Gui Zhu Youlang abandoned the city and fled, General, you will no longer be obsessed with it. It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes, so why should you serve the foolish loyalty of the Hongguang Pseudo-Chungun? Why should you die for the cowardly and incompetent King of Gui Zhu Youlang?! The general is a loyal, brave and good warlike person, and he is a rare general of this dynasty. You must not throw a secret into your future. If you can recognize the general trend, make plans early, and submit to our army, it would be a very wise move."

When Deng Kai heard Huang Degong say so directly and poked his pain point straight, he looked complicated.

He subconsciously glanced around the defenders next to him, but saw that they were looking at him with very strange and expectant eyes. Deng Kai felt even more and more uncomfortable.

Deng Kai stepped forward, held the Tuo with his hand, and said to Huang Degong: "Huang Dexie! You have also been the general of Chuyang, and you also did not serve the court. How could you rebel against the court, surrender to the rebel King Tang, be willing to be a hawk, and attack the old master from Jiangnan all the way to this Yunnan border. Are you so rebellious and not a minister, and you still have to say such a ruthless saying here? Ask yourself, do you have a clear conscience in your actions?!"

Huang Degong stroked his beard and heard Deng Kai scolding him, he felt angry.

As soon as Deng Kai finished speaking, his expression changed and he replied sternly: "Deng Kai! Since Emperor Chongxing Long Yubintian, the King of Tang supported King Yong ascended the throne and established the Anping New Dynasty. It can be said that he supported the sky with one hand. How could he make a contribution? Tell you that this town was the general of Chuyang, who was once the Hongguang pseudo-dynasty, but the town was lost and knew how to return. Anyway, he would be in time to serve the King of Tang. Now, I am so glad to come. This move is not like you. Not only do I not want to serve the New Dynasty, but I am still willing to be foolish and humble. I still want to help the Hongguang court, which is only capable of acting as a mighty and bullying the people, continue to seize territory, fight against the court, and conspire to rebel! How good do you have to say about this town like such a shameless crime?"

"You, you..." Deng Kai was not good at speaking, but was suddenly retaliated by Huang Degong and was so anxious that he couldn't speak. He pointed his fingers at Huang Degong with an angry look on his face.

Huang Degong looked at him coldly and said again: "Deng Kai, don't be anxious, let this town tell you in detail. The Tang King, since he tried his best to rescue the prince and Queen Yong in the capital, has successively supported the two emperors Chongxing and Anping. These two emperors are the orthodox Ming Dynasty. Now that the new dynasty is first established, you don't want to serve the country, but you will still steal the south and continue to support the Hongguang pseudo-dynasty and openly confront the court. Shouldn't such a rebellious act be attacked? Should you indulge yourself again

Will you wait? I think the country was in its first state and everything was difficult. The reason why it had not attacked you was because the Tang Dynasty thought about the friendship between its compatriots and could not bear to lightly attack you. I just hope you can understand the past mistakes and surrender. Who knows that the past two years have passed. You have followed your own actions in the south, establishing government officials and exploiting the people, and turning a deaf ear to the court. You have now managed this south like an independent kingdom, and rebellious behavior. How can you not attack and let go of it?!"

Huang Degong's words made Deng Kai speechless. Although he was still angry, he could see a faint look of embarrassment.

Although Deng Kai was angry, he had to admit that Huang Degong's words were actually very reasonable.

You should know that no matter how Hongguang court slandered and distorted it, the Tang Dynasty King Li Xiao supported Emperor Chongzhen's biological son, Crown Prince Zhu Ci and Yong Wang Zhu Cishu. These two characters, both in terms of bloodline and inheritance, are far more than Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Supervisor of King Fu, who seized this point to criticize himself. In fact, they hit the biggest and weakest weakness of the Hongguang Puppet Dynasty since its establishment.

Thinking of this, Deng Kai sighed and decided to end such a conclusion. He shouted: "Master Huang, your words are indeed reasonable. Although Deng is a rough man, he also understands that the orthodox throne should belong to the Chongzhen Emperor. However, King Gui treats a certain family very well. Since he ordered a family to defend the city to the death, the family will live up to its hopes. Mayor Huang, please come back, I have nothing to say to you, just lead troops to attack the city."

"Oh, that's right. It seems that this kind of mediocre person like Zhu Youlang, the King of Gui, has been able to win you over, and can make you work so hard." Huang Degong sneered and said in a deep voice: "General Deng, the situation is stronger than that of others. In the current situation, your troops are surrounded by our Tang army, and there are no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, so it is difficult to escape. In today's battle, the outcome is decided, so why should General Deng continue to fight? What's more, your troops are trapped in the lonely city and are in a hurry to fight. Regardless of the morale or morale, how can they be our opponents? To be honest, this town has a kind heart and cannot bear to commit murder. So they came to the front to call you. You must seize the opportunity and recognize the situation."

Deng Kai laughed bitterly, but said with a sarcastic voice: "Don't say it again! My soldier said that I would surrender to the thief Li Xiao, but I must not! Tell you that my soldier is highly valued by King Gui, and even treats me like a relative. With such kindness, Deng will definitely revenge himself! The ancients, Yu Rang, avenged the Lord, and did not hesitate to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi. Deng must also spread all his passion for King Gui! Don't talk nonsense, if you have the ability, you will come to destroy the city. Deng will be waiting for the cleverness in the city!"

"Okay! If you have a way in heaven, you don't go, and if you have no way in hell, you will come! Since you are seeking death, the town will fulfill you! You have gone to the eighteen levels of hell, but don't regret it!"

Seeing Deng Kai so stubborn, Huang Degong smiled coldly and a ferocious look flashed on his face. He didn't say much, and immediately pulled his horse back to the formation with the guards. At the same time, Deng Kai also snorted coldly and hurriedly went down from the city, preparing to arrange all the young and strong people in the city to come to guard the city together.

It was getting late at this time, and the Tang army arranged for soldiers to camp and rest outside the city. Outside the Yongchang City, there were lights of the Tang army, and there was a busy atmosphere.

Seeing the Tang army's camps around, they still surrounded Yongchang City like an iron barrel. Yongchang General Deng Kai's heart was very heavy.

He knew that his words with the Tang Army General today had blocked all his retreats, and now he had to fight to the Tang Army to death.

Deng Kai sighed softly, and then subconsciously looked west.

The night was dull, and the west was dark, and there was no sight at all.

Deng Kai thought to himself that perhaps at this point, King Gui Zhu Youlang and others fled westward, and they should have reached the Tengyue territory.

Deng Kai was right. Zhu Youlang and others have indeed entered the Tengyue territory. They are lit torches and continue to rush on the mountain path overnight, heading straight to the fortress of Zhanda Tusi.

King Gui Zhu Youlang sat alone on his horse and was surrounded by guards. He was dressed in a mess and dejected manner, but he looked back at the dark background in the east from time to time.

He kept thinking in his heart how terrible it was for the Tang army to encircle the lonely city Yongchang into an iron bucket.

What's even more pitiful is that Deng Kai, the general of Yongchang who was abandoned, is still fighting for himself to defend the city. I don't know how long this general who is so loyal to him will eventually be able to hold on to Yongchang City.

This General Deng Kai is really defeated by him.

Zhu Youlang felt mixed feelings and sighed secretly. However, he did not dare to stop for a moment, and hurried westward, thinking that he would arrive at the fortress of Zhanda Toast as soon as possible before he could rest.

What Deng Kai did not expect was that he thought that the Tang army would come to attack the city the next day, but he did not expect that three days passed and the Tang army had no movement outside the city.

The reason why the Tang army has not attacked the city was because he was waiting for the heavy artillery to successfully arrive from Kunming City.

After all, the roads in western Yunnan are difficult to move, rugged and steep, and artillery transportation is even more difficult. If the front army did not explore the way, it would be too dangerous to let the artillery troops move forward. Therefore, Huang Degong decided to wait until the main force of the entire army arrived at Yongchang City first, and then let the artillery troops and a group of auxiliary soldiers come here in the next few days.

As soon as the artillery arrived at noon that day, the Tang army's siege officially began.

The defenders on the city wall were frightened to see that in the deafening horns and the rumbling drums, 90 steel heavy dragon beating guns with silver gray light were slowly pushed to about a thousand meters outside the Yongchang city gate by the Tang army gunners before stopping.

Next, the Tang army gunners began to fix the gun frame, adjust the firing angle, load gunpowder and shells, and soon prepared for the battle.

These 90 heavy dragon guns lined up along the city wall north of Yongchang City, majestic and majestic, with a spirit of sweeping across the world. The black muzzle was like countless thick penis pointing straight towards the high Yongchang City Wall opposite.
