Li Huaixin stared at an iron cannon in front, his face faintly pale.

Although he didn't count it carefully, there were dozens of iron cannons that could be seen in his sight. With so many iron cannons, it was difficult to withstand several cannons in Xinpingbao's city wall.

The guard on the top of the city stood beside Li Huaixin and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what should we do next?"

"What can I do? defend the city." Li Huaixin said angrily.

He is a general of Xinpingbao. Once Xinpingbao is captured by the tiger flag, he will be responsible for losing his territory. If no important officials in the court come forward to protect him, he will definitely be imprisoned in the future.

He also knew his situation, and his only backer was General Zhang Huai, which means that there would be no important officials in the court to protect him. If Xinpingbao is lost, it will become inevitable to go to prison.

"Can we defend it? The troops outside the city were defeated by the Beilu army." The guard said worriedly.

Li Huaixin said with a dark face: "You must guard even if you can't defend it. Do you think the people with the Tiger Banner will let us go after taking Xinpingbao? Don't dream, they are rebels and want to rebel, unless you want to rebel with them."

The guard shook his head quickly and showed that he would not rebel with the tiger flag.

"Where is the cannon! Come on, send it up." Li Huaixin shouted loudly.

Facing the dozens of iron cannons set out outside the city, he knew that only the cannons could compete with them.

"Go and urge me." said a personal soldier who was protecting Li Huaixin.

Li Huaixin nodded and said, "Go and go back quickly, I'm afraid they will attack the city soon. If it's too late, it will be too late."

"Yes." The personal soldiers agreed and turned around to find the cannon.

Not long after, the five generals were pushed to the top of the city, and they were dispersed one by one, and the muzzle reached outside the female wall.

"Why are there just a few doors?" Li Huaixin asked with an ugly face.

The personal soldiers who came back with several cannons said, "Report to the master, there are only these cannons left in the city, and the others... have been sold to the tiger flag."

When he spoke, the personal soldier showed embarrassment.

As early as when the Tiger Flag built a Dunbao in Daheihe, the Tiger Flag bought a batch of nominal waste cannons from Datong with silver. At that time, the Tiger Flag had a good relationship with the Datong generals. In addition, it gave cash silver, which made many generals sell the cannons in their hands to the Tiger Flag.

"Damn it, I knew it would be today, so I wouldn't sell them any cannons." Li Huaixin slapped the female wall and cursed hatefully.

The personal soldiers next to them did not speak.

He remembered that when he was selling cannons, Li Huaixin happily accompanied the tiger flag to buy cannons and drank several glasses of wine.

"Sir, this gun is probably not available." A man who was working on the firearm came to Li Huaixin.

Li Huaixin frowned and said, "Isn't the cannon good? Why can't it be used?"

The always-off said with a bitter face: "To be honest, these cannons are rusted. Fire cannons will explode and easily hurt their own people."

"Isn't it just a little rust, just wipe it clean. Don't bother me about this little thing." Li Huaixin said in dissatisfaction, and waved his hand to signal the other party to retreat.

He only has these few cannons, and he has no choice but to use these few cannons to defend the city.

There was no way to do that, so I could only go back and find a way.

At this time, the personal soldiers next to him said, "Sir, the tiger flag has opened a shop in Xinpingbao. It is better to send someone to take the shopkeeper and the clerk of that shop. Maybe they can threaten the people outside the city."

"Yes, you reminded me right. I almost forgot these people." Li Huaixin said, "You should take a team of people to the city now, and you must capture the person to the top of the city."

"Yes." The personal soldier agreed and turned around and fell down the city wall.

Li Huaixin stood on the top of the city, looking worriedly at the soldiers with the tiger flag outside the city, sweating all over his palms.

He had no idea about defending the city, but he knew he had to keep defending.

"Sir, someone is coming from the city." The guard next to him reminded.

Li Huaixin looked out of the city.

From the direction of the battle formation of the tiger-shaped flag, a few cavalry came out and galloped under the wall of Xinping Castle.

"The person on the top of the city is General Li Shen." The person on the horse off the city shouted loudly to the top of the city.

Li Huaixin looked down at the city with a high apology and said, "I am the general of Xinping Fort Li Huaixin and Zhao Yutu, your tiger-shaped army surrounded Xinping Fort and wanted to rebel? You are not afraid that the court army will clear you in the future."

"Don't wait for the future. Zhang Huai had already led his troops to Lingqiu not long ago. Unfortunately, he was defeated by my boss. He didn't say that he had lost his troops and generals, but finally escaped back to Datong Prefecture in shame." Zhao Yutu said, looking up at Li Huaixin on the top of the city.

Hearing this, Li Huaixin's hand slid on the female wall and fell forward.

The personal soldiers standing beside him were quick-witted and hurriedly grabbed him so that he did not plant the city wall.

"Sir, he may be lying to you. The soldiers and horses with the tiger flag are on our side. They have been empty in Lingqiu for a long time. Maybe the General has successfully suppressed the rebellion at this time." The guard on the side reminded in a low voice.

"Yes, you're right. The tiger-shaped flag is empty in Lingqiu. General Zhang will definitely succeed in suppressing the rebellion." Li Huaixin repeated it as if he was cheering himself up.

Zhao Yutu under the city wall did not wait for Li Huaixin's response, and continued, "Mr. Li, I'm not here for anything else this time, I just don't want to kill more. I hope you can offer the city to surrender, I can make the decision to save your life."

"I want to deceive me into exchanging the city. You are blinded by the tiger flag. I am loyal to the court and would rather die in battle than surrender to you traitors." Li Huaixin said coldly.

Zhao Yutu, who was under the city, heard Li Huaixin's words and said lightly: "Sir, don't be busy refusing first. Give him a stick of incense to consider. After one stick of incense, my army with tiger flags will attack the city."

After saying that, Zhao Yutu brought people back to the army with a round of horse heads.

"I want my official to surrender and dream." Li Huaixin spat at the city.

As a general of Xinpingbao, a third-rank military general in the imperial court would rebel with the tiger flag unless he was crazy.

The personal soldiers who went to the city to arrest people ran back from the city.

When he came to Li Huaixin, he bowed and said, "Sir, the shopkeeper and the clerk in the Tiger Flag Shop have all escaped. The subordinates have found it and asked. The man left the city early, and the things in the shop have not moved, and they have all stayed in the shop."

Li Huaixin narrowed his eyes and said, "They are willing to give up so much goods when they say they are thrown away. They are really rich and powerful."

"What should we do next?" asked the personal soldier next to him.

Li Huaixin said: "If you pass the order, everyone will go to the top of the city. As long as you guard Xinpingbao, I will personally ask for credit for them."

There were still some soldiers in Xinpingbao City. After receiving the order, they all climbed to the city wall to defend the city.

A stick of incense passed quickly.

Chen Xunping looked at Xinping Fort in front of him and said, "It seems that Li Huaixin is so tough, so let's fight. Xinping Fort can't stop our soldiers with the tiger flag."

"I'll send an order to the artillery team and hit the city a few rounds first." Wang Yuncheng said to Chen Xunping.
