Chapter 1: The Siege of Jinyang

Next Chapter

Kaiping is the last era name of Beiliang.

The world of Kaizhiping is the vision of the rulers of the Northern Liang, but now the Northern Liang gate lords are full of powerful and powerful, and they are each in their own way, and the Northern Liang directly rules only Liangzhou.

The Northern Liang could only use this hope to change the dynasty's declining fortune and save the precarious rule of the Northern Liang.

Jinyang Mansion is one of the few county governments that are still loyal to Northern Liang.

King Jinyang is the younger brother of the Northern Liang Emperor. The king of Jinyang was loyal to the Northern Liang, and at the same time had no way to retreat, so he had to stick to the city.

The contact between Jinyang Mansion and the Northern Liang Dynasty had long been cut off by the Wang and Li families, and they were in an isolated and helpless situation, but Jinyang had no intention of surrendering to either side.

Luo Qingshan lies in the middle of Qingzhou, and the mountains overlap each other, like stormy waves.

And Luo Qingshan has an ancient legend that the fierce beasts of the flood period can control the immortals of the sky...... They all live on the top of Luo Qingshan's clouds.

Luo Qingshan Mountain is towering, reaching into the sky, so several passes of Luo Qingshan have naturally become a place of contention between the two major scholars. And Jinyang is located in one of the passes of Luo Qingshan.

Qingzhou has been divided by the two major clans, and the two major clans are bounded by Luo Qingshan.

The north side is occupied by the Beiyuan Wang clan, and the south side is occupied by the Wu'an Li clan.

The monks of the two major scholar clans gathered, the army was elite, and there was not much difference in strength.

The two noble clans are in a state of long-term confrontation. Due to the limitations of Luo Qingshan's terrain, large-scale battles broke out rarely, mostly small-scale battles, and each side held several passes with dangerous terrain.

The city of Jinyang is not very large, but with its important geographical location, it has also become a place in Beiliang.

There are years of grain and grass stored in the city, which are enough to cope with the increasing consumption in the city, and with its natural geographical advantages, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And Wang and Li's two families, Chen Bing and Luo Qingshan, the two sides seem to have reached a tacit understanding, and they did not make a move on Jinyang, but regarded it as a buffer area.

In the third year of Kaiping, the Wang family formed an army to conquer the south and drove to the pass where Jinyang was located.

The army was stationed ten miles outside the north gate of Jinyang, completely cutting off Jinyang's communication with the outside world from Shanbei.

Although the Li family has not recently begun to impose martial law on Jinyang, the road leading from Jinyang to the south of Qingzhou has been blocked.

Jinyang City can only go down to the bottom of the mountain along an overgrown path through the West Gate, but the beasts in the mountain are extremely ferocious in this season, often cruising in the mountains and forests, and going down the mountain from the path of the West Gate is no different from sending them to death.

Over the past year or so, the war on the Western Front has been mired in a quagmire, a large number of troops have been transferred to the west, and the military strength in the south has been greatly weakened.

In order to stabilize the defense line in the south of Qingzhou, Luo Qingshan's dangerous place will definitely be strictly controlled.

At this time, Jinyang's superior geographical location has become a sharp sword hanging over the heads of Jinyang and everyone in the city.

The southern army continued to attack Jinyang City.

In the blink of an eye, it has come to the autumn of the third year of Kaiping, and Jinyang has been attacked by the Northern Yuan Wang's southern army for seven months.

Relying on the dangerous terrain and the grain and grass materials accumulated in the city for many years, Jinyang was able to withstand several attacks by the Zhengnan Army.

In the open space in front of the north gate of Jinyang City, the corpses of many soldiers are still scattered.

Last night was another brutal battle, and the two sides have not yet cleaned up the battlefield. There were still a number of torches on the ground, but they were all extinguished, and there were puffs of gray smoke.

Wang Ming stood not far from the battlefield, the smell of blood on the battlefield and the burning smell of burning reached his nose with the chaotic wind.

Wang Ming frowned lightly, and couldn't help but rub the tip of his nose in disgust.

In order to improve Wang Ming's prestige and experience, the Wang family let Wang Ming go to the southern army to serve as an overseer.

The position of overseer seems to be planning the battlefield, but in fact it is only to prevent Wang Ming from going to the battlefield himself.

Wang Ming understood the family's intentions in his heart, but if he didn't take the lead in himself, how could he improve his reputation and increase his experience.

This Jinyang City is like a king who is shrunk in a shell, and Wang Ming originally thought that it would not be easy to attack it.

I never thought that this war would drag on for seven months.

As soon as Wang Ming thought of his brother's indifferent face, he could think of the contemptuous eyes at that time, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of anger in his heart.

The so-called heroes in troubled times, Wang Yu, the general of the Eastern Great Army of the Northern Plains Army, is the leader of the younger generation of the gate lord clan in this troubled times.

In the war of annexation of the gate lords before Kaiping in the Northern Liang, Wang Yu came to prominence, and he was the youngest and most talented general.

In the past few years, the territory of the Wang family has expanded rapidly.

Where Wang Yu led the eastern army of Zhendong, the army was scattered like birds and beasts, and the gate lords who resisted in the north of Yuanzhou and Qingzhou were crushed one by one, and even the gate lords and clans who returned to Shun were also driven out.

Wang Yu admired Bai Qi of the Warring States Qin Dynasty the most, and caused countless killings. Therefore, the world calls it "villain slaughter".

The clan of the gate lords who were under the control of the Wang family were terrified when they heard Wang Yu's name, and they couldn't sleep at night.

Wang Ming is Wang Yu's younger brother, and both of them are descendants of the Wang family.

Wang will be five years younger next year, but Wang Yu has already made contributions on the battlefield at Wang Ming's age.

But Jin Yang couldn't take it for a long time, Wang Ming could only sit in the camp all day, listen to all kinds of information, and then nodded after others made plans.

Wang Ming looked at the Jinyang City Gate not far away, and the people on it were walking back and forth like ants.

Wang Ming's heart couldn't help but burn with a strong desire to conquer, and the army restrained his family elders, and he had returned to Yuanzhou a few days ago to discuss important matters.

Wang Ming looked at the army behind him, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, this is the feeling he wants.

"Overseer Wang, the battlefield is too dangerous, please sit in the tent and let us go to attack. Next to Wang Ming stood a middle-aged man, powerful and wearing a light armor.

"General Zuo, we have been attacking for seven months, have you ever seen any masters in this Jinyang City. Wang Ming smiled slightly, "With my realm, those soldiers can't even hurt my fur." Besides, I haven't fought for a long time, and my body is going to rust off. ”

"Before leaving, the General told him not to let the Overseers go into battle. General Zuo took a step forward and blocked in front of Wang Ming. "Please ...... it back"

"General Zuo. Wang Ming looked down at the ground on the ground, due to frequent trampling, there was a thick layer of dust, and when he stepped lightly, he raised fine dust: "Everything you have is given by the Wang family, and I can take it back at any time." ”

Wang Ming walked forward, but General Zuo did not block it, but turned sideways slightly and let him walk over.

The army behind followed closely and walked towards Jinyang City.

Wang Ming stood on the battlefield, the smell he smelled before was several times stronger, Wang Ming took a deep breath: "I am Wang Ming, the overseer of the Southern Army! Our army reinforcements will come soon, if you surrender openly, I am willing to represent the Wang family, and I will not kill them all, but if you resist to the death, our army will definitely break through Jinyang!"

After Wang Ming shouted, he felt refreshed, looked at the army behind him, and his pride and ambition increased sharply.

Wang Ming looked at the dense figures on the city tower, although he couldn't see his expression, he must have been terrified.

At this moment, an arrow suddenly flew out of the city gate!

Wang Ming smiled slightly, his right hand was wide open at the flying arrows, and the black vitality fluctuated, escaping a black mist in front of him.

But the arrow was not affected in the slightest, and went straight through the body, bringing out a string of blood flowers, and Wang Ming fell to the ground, and the gorgeous light armor on his body was covered with a layer of fine dust that was stirred up when he fell to the ground.

......

The western part of Wonju is adjacent to Wing State.

Yizhou is the largest state in Northern Liang, and Yizhou is not a monopoly, but the three major clans jointly control it.

A year ago, the three families took the lead in waging war against the western part of Wonju, and the Wang family was defeated one after another.

Finally, Wang Yu was sent to lead the family's newly formed Zhendong Army to fight. Although Wang Yu has outstanding ability, the combined strength of the three families is too strong, and in several battles, each has its own victory or defeat.

The two sides have recently died down, but the front remains tense.

Wang Yu personally guarded the western part of Yuanzhou, which slowed down the pace of expansion of the Wang family to a certain extent.

A military tent on the western front of Yuanzhou.

"Inform the general that Wang Dujun's army was wounded by stray arrows during the siege this morning, and unfortunately died of his wounds. General Zuo of the Southern Army half knelt in the tent and bowed his head to pray.

"What did you say?!" The man in the tent got up suddenly: "How could my brother be injured by a stray arrow!"

"Returning to the general, the arrows in the Wang Inspector's army have been tempered with vitality, and the arrows are coated with poison, and the Wang Inspectors are bleeding after being hit by the arrows, although many people in the army have instilled vitality, they have not protected the lives of Wang Inspectors. After General Zuo finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent became solemn for a while, and General Zuo's head pressed down again.

"My brother is already in the Heavenly Realm, who can hurt him, in the garrison of Jinyang City, can there be a master above this realm?" The man in the tent frowned, and the vitality around his body fluctuated, making the atmosphere in the tent extremely depressing.

"Our army attacked in July, and we have not seen a master above the heavenly realm sitting in Jinyang. The fluctuation of the vitality emitted by this arrow is not strong, but it is more special, and it can break the protective vitality. According to the information collected, most of the arrows and weapons in the city were cast by historians. The vitality attached to the arrows in Wang Overseer's army should also be made by historians. ”

"Historian?"

"The Shi family is a family of casters in Jinyang, and their refining techniques are superb, and they can integrate vitality into weapons and arrows to enhance their lethality. The food and grass materials in Jinyang City are becoming increasingly scarce, and the Jinyang defenders must be at the end of the strong crossbow, and this arrow should be specially created to target our generals. General Zuo told the news he knew: "This arrow is too abrupt, and our army really did not expect it. I didn't stop Wang Overseer's army from going to the battlefield, but I actually caused Wang Overseer's army to die unfortunately!

General Zuo's tone trembled a little, and the atmosphere in the account became more and more solidified. The yellow lights flickered constantly.

"General Qin, this place is under your control for the time being, and I will take care of some family affairs. The man turned around and picked up a dark spear behind him, and the moment he held it, the body of the spear was covered with bursts of black mist, and everyone in the tent only felt that a chill rose from the depths of their souls, which looked particularly cold.

"General Zuo, it's none of your business, let's go. ”

The two walked out of the tent one after the other.

A moment later, the 5,000 Zhendong Army ran on the official road to Jinyang.

In the night, like a black dragon, it rushed straight to Jinyang.

These 5,000 Zhendong Army are all pro-troops who followed Wang Yu's eastern expedition to the west!

In Jinyang City, the historian.

"Father, according to the soldiers defending the city, the general who was killed by poisoned arrows in today's chaotic battle was Wang Yu's younger brother Wang Ming. According to Wang Yu's temperament, he will definitely come to take revenge, and this city will not be able to be defended sooner or later! We should think of a way to escape as soon as possible. The young man standing in the room looked anxious.

"Where to flee, the territory of the Wang family? or the territory of the Li family? The only place to run in the west of the city is guarded by the defenders, not to mention, the prince treats us well, and there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, which is not safer than defending the city. As far as I know, Wang Yu has been stationed on the western front of Yuanzhou for more than a year, and the war is tight, and he will definitely not be able to get out. The middle-aged man sitting on the Taishi's chair did not look up, but just rubbed the ring in his hand.

"Father, if you stay in the city, you will definitely die!

"If you want to escape, you have to wait until winter, when fierce beasts are dormant in the mountains, and the patrol soldiers of the Wang family and the Li family will definitely reduce the number of patrols. We took the opportunity to flee to the south of Qingzhou. ”

"Father's ......"

The door was suddenly pushed open.

"Father!" The man saw the two people in the room and smiled slightly: "The third brother is also here." ”

The man known as the third brother bowed his head slightly: "Big brother." ”

"The army outside the city has gone mad! The attack was so fierce that the defenders of the city were moved to the north gate. The general had important matters to discuss with his father. ”

"Hmm. The middle-aged man stood up and gently brushed the robe on his body, "You two hurry back to the foundry and hurry up to build weapons." ”

With that, he hurried away.

The young man known as the third brother sighed slightly, "Big brother, it is a matter of time before Jinyang is captured, and we must think of a way to get out." ”

"Our Shi family has lived here for generations, and the foundation of the family is here, how can we leave easily. ”

"Even if the eldest brother is determined to defend Jinyang, but the eldest brother still has children, he can't let his wife and children die here!"

The room fell silent for a moment, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

The young man, known as the third brother, frowned, turned and left the room, but instead of going to the foundry, he walked straight to the west gate.
