"Everyone, follow me out and fight them!" Li Cheng shouted this in desperation.
Everyone was immersed in the fear of Mongolian Rao, and they rushed out of the camp together like headless flies.
The captain Shao Bu came with his personal soldiers to urge Li Cheng to go into battle. Unexpectedly, when he was a hundred steps away from Li Cheng's tent, he suddenly saw countless soldiers raising their swords and attacking him.
Shao Bu was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse: "Li Cheng is rebelling! Retreat, retreat quickly!"
He hurriedly turned his horses with his personal guards and galloped towards the commander's camp in Quanzhou. Li Cheng, this coward, had actually rebelled. Shao Bu was most terrified because the commander would surely punish him upon his return. He was now beginning to regret whether he had pushed Li Cheng too far, which had led to his rebellion.
Li Cheng and his men rushed out with a whimper. Only then did they realize that Shao Bu had actually run away in fear, which gave Li Cheng and his men a lot of confidence.
"Rush to the South Gate, break open the gate and go out of the city!" Li Cheng waved his scimitar.
More than a thousand soldiers under his command rushed out of the camp and ran towards the south gate.
There were only dozens of soldiers guarding the South City gate, but there were hundreds of archers on the city wall.
"Charge!" When they arrived at the city gate, Li Cheng and his men began to charge.
The guards at the door were still puzzled as to why this ragtag army had such high morale. But when they saw the weapons in the other side's hands, they knew something was wrong.
The guards at the city gate drew their scimitars to prepare for the enemy, while the Mongolian archers on the city wall aimed their bows at the city.
At this time, the captain Shao Bu also rushed over. He rode his horse and shouted: "Shoot, shoot! Don't let them leave the city!"
Although Li Cheng's men had poor fighting ability, they knew that they would die if they didn't rush out of the city, so everyone bravely took the lead and rushed to the city gate with all their might.
These people were not good at fighting alone, but they were good at group fights. More than a thousand people attacked the dozens of soldiers at the gate, and in an instant, the guards at the gate were hacked to death by Li Cheng's men.
At this time, the Mongolian soldiers on the city wall began to shoot arrows, and Li Cheng's subordinates suffered heavy casualties.
Confucius only had a thousand men outside the city, and he did not dare to attack the city rashly. He just made a show of force outside the city, because he did not know the situation inside the city and how many enemy troops were there.
"Qinglang, look! The Mongolian soldiers on the city wall are shooting arrows into the city." One of his coyote captains shouted, pointing at the city wall.
The old man was shocked by the Mongols's commotion. Then they heard shouts and cries of killing from within the city, and everyone was even more surprised.
"Qinglang, what should we do?" asked the subordinate.
How could he miss such a good opportunity? Confucius waved his hand and said, "Release your arrows and shoot the enemy on the city wall!"
So Kong Fuzi's Blue Wolf Second Regiment opened fire on the Mongolian soldiers on the city wall. Unfortunately, they had only brought two crossbows with them after a long journey.
The enormous power of the bed crossbow can shoot ten arrows at once, and its deterrent effect is far greater than its attack power.
Only one out of ten arrows could occasionally hit a Mongolian soldier, because the distance was too far and ordinary crossbow arrows could not reach the city wall. If the distance was too close, they were afraid of the Mongolian soldiers on the city wall, after all, the enemy's strength was unknown.
Li Cheng's men in the city also began to fight back, and archers shot at the city walls, and several Mongolian soldiers were immediately shot dead.
Confucius saw clearly from outside the city that archers inside had killed Mongol soldiers on the walls. He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that something was afoot: "Advance eighty steps and attack!"
Eighty steps, that was well within the range of the divine crossbow. The cavalry of the Second Blue Wolf Regiment rushed to the city gate, raised their crossbows and began firing at the city wall.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The Mongolian soldiers on the city wall suffered heavy casualties due to the double-sided attack. Li Cheng's soldiers inside the city had rushed to the gate and were opening it.
"Hurry, hurry, open the city gate!" Li Cheng was so anxious that he shouted, "Hurry, hurry! Open the city gate!"
Finally, the city gate slowly opened and Li Cheng's soldiers rushed out.
Confucius and his men outside the city were somewhat surprised to see the city gate open. The people of the Second Blue Wolf Regiment were already prepared for battle, and the archers aimed at the city gate again.
The soldiers who emerged all held white flags, a sign of surrender. The Mongolian soldiers on the wall were still shooting arrows at these people, and the archers of the Qinglanger Second Regiment once again aimed at the Mongolian soldiers on the wall.
"Gee!" A man who looked like a general rushed out from the crowd, Li Cheng.
"General Song, we are here to surrender! Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows!" Li Cheng shouted while running.
All is fair in war on the battlefield, and Confucius did not dare to be careless: "Put down your weapons!"
The soldiers of the Wolf Second Regiment also shouted: "Drop your weapons, drop your weapons!"
Li Cheng's skirt also obeyed, and all the soldiers who rushed out handed over their weapons and equipment obediently.
At this moment, the Mongolian soldiers led by Shaobu also rushed towards the city gate.
Li Cheng's officers and soldiers immediately panicked: "Shao Bu's troops are coming, everyone retreat! Retreat!"
Li Cheng's men rushed out of the city, and Shao Bu's Mongolian soldiers also arrived at the city gate. They blocked the city gate tightly and closed it again.
If Li Cheng and Confucius had contacted each other in advance, this would be a great opportunity, and the two of them could break through the city gate with the help of internal and external forces.
However, Kong Fuzi and his men did not know that Li Cheng would surrender, so they missed another opportunity. By the time Li Cheng explained clearly, the city gate had already been occupied by Shao Bu's men.
After Li Cheng explained his purpose, Confucius and the others finally understood.
"So, General Li has come to surrender." Confucius said after asking about the other party's purpose.
Li Cheng hurriedly dismounted and bowed: "General Kong, please don't abandon us and take us in."
Confucius was overjoyed and hurriedly helped him up: "General Li, you are truly wise to abandon the dark and join the light. Don't worry, as long as you sincerely submit to our Song Dynasty, the door of the Song Dynasty is always open to you!"
Li Cheng was initially worried that he would be treated inferiorly if he surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but he did not expect that the Song army would be so enthusiastic towards his subordinates.
Li Cheng was deeply moved and said, "General Kong, from now on my life belongs to the Song Dynasty."
Shaobu had already climbed onto the city wall with his personal soldiers. To prevent any changes, Kong Fuzi also led his Blue Wolf Second Regiment to retreat two hundred meters, and the two sides began to confront each other again.
Shaobu was seen standing on the top of the city wall, shouting to the people below: "Li Cheng, you despicable man! How dare you betray Kublai Khan!"
Li Cheng shouted loudly from the foot of the city: "Shao Bu, you bastards, this is all because of you. You treat us brothers like ants. From now on, we are the people of the Song Dynasty and we will never coexist with you, the Mongols!"
Shao Bu sneered: "Bring it up!"
I saw a group of Mongolian soldiers escorting a dozen crying family members to the city wall, Li Cheng's family.
