"Newspaper... King Xian, the Dayi border army is coming to attack, and it has now occupied Macheng."

Li Mang was laughing with the girls, only to see a messenger soldier break in.

"Where is Macheng?" asked Li Mang, who had never heard the name of this city, so he asked suspiciously.

"Tell King Xian that Macheng is one of the cities bordering Dayi in the territory of the former Jiang Kingdom," replied the messenger.

"What?" Li Mangluo stood up, and then asked again: "You mean that Dayi actually sent troops to attack our rear this time, from the territory of the original Jiang Kingdom?"

"Yes"

"Then Liu Jing didn't react at all? Isn't the eastern border a big victory? Let the border army attack Yangzhou and force Dayi to retreat?" Li Mang shouted, he worked hard to fight on the front line, and the special back road was copied, can you not be angry!

"King Xian, that... Your Majesty said that the eastern border army suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and now it is all new troops, and the eastern border is now guarded by the elite Quanzhou army of Dayi, so it is not easy to take the initiative to attack," the messenger hurriedly replied.

"Damn, how can this battle be fought, Lao Tzu just won half of Xingzhou, can't he withdraw now?" Li Mang wandered a few steps in the hall, scolding to himself.

"Your Majesty said, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, this time you have to completely scare Dayi, the country is also mobilizing supplies, I think it won't take too long, there will be reinforcements to arrive," the messenger said again.

"I'll just say... I'll just say... I said that I would fight Dawu, but now it's okay, let me fight Dayi again, I can't refuse yet, it's really..."

Fenghua waved his hand and ordered the messenger to go down, and then took a few steps forward and comforted softly: "Okay, don't be angry, this time it's the imperial brother, I'll write to scold him later, the top priority now is to solve this matter."

"How to solve it, what can be done except for help" Li Mang said angrily, and then shouted outside the hospital.

"Sanbao, pass on my order, immediately reorganize the army, set off as soon as possible, and return to the prison city."

......

At this time, the Dayi army had firmly occupied the easternmost part of the territory of the original Jiangguo, Macheng, Luocheng, and Hong'an City, and the officials sent to govern several cities before Daxing had already been killed, but the Dayi border army did not sweep the Quartet, but defended the three cities.

After the army rested for a day, Li Mang continued to lead the army to the northeast, and it was five or six days of hard work before he came to the new city in front of the three cities, after the army entered the city, Li Mang hurriedly climbed the city wall, looked at the three cities from afar, listened to the report of the spies, but he fell into contemplation.

These three cities are in a straight line, in the middle is Macheng, the left and right cities are small cities, there is no need to worry, but the two cities seem to have hoarded a lot of grain and grass, although the defenders are not much, but they actually take the people in the city as hostages, but it makes Li Mang a little jealous.

And most of the troops are still concentrated in Macheng, not attacking but defending, thinking that the original intention was to drag Li Mang here.

Li Mang watched for a long time, got off the city wall, and ordered the army to rest, but he took the three treasures into a room in the city lord's mansion, and if he didn't come out, he didn't know what he was doing.

"Sanbao, you take a few heavenly troops to infiltrate these two cities, let me inquire about their garrison, you must be careful, you must not alarm the defenders, otherwise the people in the city may be in danger"

"Yes, I'll go."

For two days in a row, Li Mang stayed in this room, and no one was seen, only Sanbao kept coming in and out.

On the third day, Li Mang finally stepped out of the door, ordered the Three Treasures to gather the Heavenly Army, and at the same time notified Shi Peng and Bai Qiu that they were here.

"After two days of investigation by Sanbao, there are 20,000 defenders in Luocheng and Hong'an City, they are entrenched in the city lord's mansion, during which there are many people, and the grain and grass are also stored in the granary in the depths of the city lord's mansion, this time the task for you is to attack the city lord's mansion with 5,000 people at night, kill all the enemy troops, rescue the people, and transport back the grain and grass, can it be done?" Li Mang came to the front of the heavenly army, and said to the stone tent and Bai Qiu who were already waiting here.

"Don't worry, no problem," Shi Feng and Bai Qiu patted their chests and reassured.

"Okay, your bold action, I will send Liu Ming and Liu Lang to cover you, as long as Macheng in the middle dares to send troops to support, I dare to wipe them out" Li Mang said hatefully.

"Yes"

"Then let's act tonight, let's go, I'll go find Liu Ming and Liu Lang," Li Mang said and walked out.

In the barracks outside the city, Li Mang summoned the two brothers and ordered directly: "Rest during the day, tonight night you two each bring 300,000 troops to ambush outside the east and west gates of Macheng, as long as the Dayi border army dares to go out of the city, I will drag him and kill him, understand?"

"Yes," the two bowed, and replied solemnly.

"Go, go rest"

After Li Mang's explanation, he returned to the city again, climbed the city wall, and waited for the night to come.

At night, in the mansion of the lord of Luocheng, a person who looked like a general was dragging a beautiful girl from an ordinary family in the city into the hall, laughing loudly as she walked, looking extremely hateful, and the girl had obviously been beaten, and at this time she was covered in injuries and dying.

This scene happens almost every night, Macheng has a large population, after the army settled, the population of Macheng was driven to the two cities, which made Luocheng and Hong'an City overcrowded for a while, many people could only sleep on the street, and many girls' families had to show their heads, so it was inevitable to be targeted by these villains in the Dayi border army.

This is the reason why Li Mang has not gone out for two days, he is afraid that he can't help it, so he directly led the army to level this Luo City.

Although the girl was already weak, she still resisted desperately at the last moment, her throat was already hoarse, and she could only let out a faint cursing cry at this time.

Where did the general care, Wu Zi savagely tore her clothes, and in the hall of the city lord's mansion, the general actually took off his military pants directly, wanting to do that bad thing.

With a "bang", the general's body that wanted to lie down suddenly straightened, and the girl who was crying suddenly felt a lot of hot liquid dripping from her neck, and the general also let go of the hand that was confining herself. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw that the general, who was about to insult him, was holding his neck with his hands, his eyes were wide open, and blood was flowing down his palms, dripping straight down his body.

"Ah" The girl was frightened by the scene in front of her, and opened her mouth to shout, but her voice was already hoarse, how could she make a sound?

I saw a black-clothed and masked man throw the general's body aside, then turned his back and whispered: "Girl, stay here, stay a little longer, and when we have dealt with those Dayi villains, we will come to pick you up and go out to reunite with your family", and then the man in black walked out.

The girl suddenly asked in a dumb voice, "Who is the benefactor?"

The man in black paused slightly, and then continued to walk out, but his voice still remained: "The Heavenly Army under the throne of Daxingxian, a very ordinary soldier."

Such assassinations took place all over the city, and as long as there were enemy troops, the heavenly army would be everywhere, and how could such an army with loose discipline and no conviction be compared with the heavenly army? Not to mention 20,000 people, even 100,000 people would not be enough for the heavenly army to kill.

In a short time, the 20,000 enemy troops in the city were all wiped out, and then the 5,000-day army gathered in the city lord's mansion, loaded the enemy's grain and grass, and then marched out of the city. Along the way, there were a lot of ordinary people bowing to them and thanking them, and even many people took the initiative to help them push the cart until they were sent out of the city gate.

The general situation of Hong'an City is the same, the heavenly army is dispatched, naturally there is no accident, and it is also loading out of the city at this time.

After the Heavenly Army returned from completing the mission, Li Mang was overjoyed, and immediately ordered again: "Sanbao, summon Liu Ming and Liu Lang, the army is besieging the city, and I will trap them alive."

Sanbao had been listening to the news of the two cities for several days, and what he had seen and heard in the city had already made him angry, and tonight he had collected a little interest, and when the army besieged the city, he would definitely let the 500,000 army not return.

Liu Ming and Liu Lang led the army to ambush for more than an hour, and now they heard that the task of the two cities was going well, and King Xian ordered the siege of the city, so they were also very happy, and beckoned the army to rush to Macheng. After a short time, he and his younger brother converged in front of Macheng, only to see that the long dragon that besieged his city before the month ago was unfolding again, and after a short time, he surrounded Macheng in the middle, but this time there was no opening.
