No one could turn the tide, so the fall of Baling City became inevitable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the place where Xiao Milling made his fortune, Baling City has a small family of Xiao Milling generals, Xiao Milling scavenged the grain and grass from the Huguang Land and all kinds of martial arts masters and literati who took refuge in Xiao Mill.

Because of the suddenness of the attack in the night, Li Qin ordered people to seal the four gates in advance, although he did not dare to guarantee that no one would escape in the night, but Li Qin believed that there were not many people who could really escape.

Capturing the barracks, guarding the prisoners, and cracking down on some unscrupulous people who wanted to fish in troubled waters, Li Qin sent out all the 8,000 soldiers who attacked the city with him, leaving only a dozen personal guards around him to "protect".

He has so much to do. Because it was a lightly armed raid, there were not many advisers and staff members around him, so many things that could have been handed over to his subordinates had to be handled by himself now.

Such a busy night, Li Qin spent his time dealing with various documents.

When the morning sun on the second day swayed onto this land, Li Qin, who was sitting behind the table in the county hall hall, stretched his body lazily, and stayed up all night, even if his body could bear it, but his heart still felt a little tired.

However, the effect of such a busy is naturally there:

All work is arranged in an orderly manner;

All the key points in the city were guarded by special personnel;

Notices were also posted on the walls of the streets and alleys of the city;

As for the cadres who entered the city under Li Qin's command, it was obviously not enough to directly place them in the already overcrowded military camp in the city, and Li Qin could not find a suitable place for a while, because Li Qin could only let his soldiers sleep under the eaves of the city residents - of course, there were a few different considerations here.

In short, when the night of chaos passed, the apprehensive people of Baling County opened the door of their homes, and the first thing they saw was the soldiers sleeping with their weapons on their pillows at the door of their homes.

When the people saw this, they were first shocked in their hearts, and then they were a little moved. In such troubled times, it is already rare for an army not to plunder the people, let alone an army like Li Qinjun who would rather spend the night on the street than seize people's houses.

"Master Wang, this is the real Master Wang!" The people say that Baling County is Da'an.

The blockade of Baling City continued. Li Qin seemed to have a further plan, and Xiao Miao's Liang character banner was still hung on the city wall, as if nothing had happened.

By the afternoon of the next day, the main force of Li Qin's fleet arrived, and Li Qin's staff also arrived with the army, and they further refined Li Qin's arrangements and freed Li Qin from the complicated sea of literature.

As a result, Baling City became a little more harmonious.

But such harmony cannot be seen from the outside. Tight on the outside and loose on the inside, this is the current situation of the chin.

Fast forward to the dawn of the third day, and under the faintly lit sky, an army with low morale dragged in from the northwest.

This is a defeated army, Li Qin looked at it from afar with a telescope at the top of the city, and immediately understood their identity and the reason for coming here:

"This is Xiao Mill's centaur! He gave up half of his army, and in the follow-up pursuit of Nangong Haizhu and Dou Qing, he had to abandon the ship and go ashore and transfer by land.

Now, Xiao Miao's army was only one-third of his original one, and it was the last breath in their chests to be able to hold on to coming here. These soldiers are also holding on for their families. ”

"What a pity! Although I don't want to sprinkle salt on your wounds again, there is no way to do it now, so ......" Li Qin pretended to sigh sadly, but there was not a single crocodile tear on his face.

After all, Li Qin is a bit hypocritical, but not so hypocritical that he can contrived to shed tears for the enemy.

He took a step back, hid his figure behind a banner, and gave Shen Liusheng a look.

Shen Liusheng nodded knowingly.

When Xiao Mo led the team to Baling City, his guards began to call the door: "Liang Gong returns to the city, open the door!" ”

"Is it really Liang Gong?" Shen Liusheng stepped forward and pretended to look at it for a while, so he frowned in embarrassment: "Please forgive me, the sky is unknown at the moment, for the safety of Baling, please come forward and let me see some clearly." ”

"You ......" Xiao Miao's personal soldiers were so tired that he also held back the anger in his heart, he thought that he could enter the city safely, have a mouthful of hot soup to drink, and a bed to sleep in, but he didn't want Shen Liusheng to be so troublesome.

When did this thief become so well-behaved?

The soldiers were a little surprised. Shen Liusheng's reputation is not very good among Liang Jun, greedy for money, lustful, unruly, and completely a villain. Everyone also sees him as a villain. Such a villain suddenly changed his nature, which really made everyone stunned for a while.

"Lord, you see?" The pro-soldiers did not dare to specialize, and reported Xiao Milling at the moment.

Xiao Mo frowned slightly, feeling strange in his heart. However, he didn't think too much about it, and then the horses split up and walked to the city, shouting at Shen Liusheng at the head of the city: "Xiao Mo is here, don't you open the door yet?" ”

This time, Shen Liusheng did not answer.

Xiao Mo only listened to a strange long laugh, which sounded on the head of the city, and then saw that all the green flags with the characters of Liang on the city were put down, and the red flags with the characters of Wu appeared on the wall. Countless expressionless soldiers with muskets in their hands stood behind the battlements, aiming their black muzzles at themselves.

"Not good!" Xiao Mo was shocked and wanted to turn his horse back and escape.

At that moment, someone in the city shouted: "Fire!" ”

I heard a popping sound of fried beans behind him, and countless lead bullets were shot at him overwhelmingly.

"Damn! Li Yuanhua, you bastard! Xiao Mo scolded, raised his cloak, and dodged, trying to get out of the area covered in bullets.

But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be faster than the lead that swooped down. Although the cloak raised on his body blocked most of the lead for him under the infusion of true qi, a few shots still hit his body. The strong kinetic energy caused him to roll a few times, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment, splashing a cloud of smoke and dust.

And the mount under him was beaten into a sieve with a wail.

"Lord!" The soldiers behind Xiao Mo exclaimed.

"I didn't ...... I'm fine! Xiao Mo stood up with a disgraced face, covered several wounds between his chest and abdomen with his hands, and frowned slightly.

He glanced hatefully at the young man who was already standing in front of Shen Liusheng on the wall, suppressed the annoyance in his heart, changed his calm face, and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency is really a good means, so you can take my Baling City." Looking at Your Excellency's appearance, you must not be a general in Li Yuanhua's army, how can you take refuge in me! I appoint you as the forward marshal of the Great Beam. ”

"Haha!" The man on the upper floor of the city burst out laughing as if he had heard something funny.

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, knowing in his heart that it was impossible for him to persuade that person.

He still wanted to explain what the scene said, so he listened to Shen Liusheng behind the man step forward and stand up: "Xiao Miao, you can see clearly with your eyes wide." This is Wu Gong in person, you have eyes and don't know Mount Tai. Now that my Great Wu Heavenly Soldiers have arrived, they have seized your Baling City and copied your hometown. You're a lost dog now. If you don't get off your horse and surrender quickly, when? ”

"What? Then Li Qin? So young? Xiao Mo couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.

Since the person above is Li Qin, his own struggle has become a stupid thing that makes people laugh.

Xiao Mo lowered his head at the moment, turned around and returned to the formation, and sold his back to Li Qin.

For some reason, Li Qin did not go out of the city to pursue, but ordered someone to shout behind Xiao Mijun's back:

"Brothers of the Liang Army, your lord has failed, and it is impossible for him to make a comeback! If you don't want to fight any more, you can go away. Now the city of Baling is all right, and your relatives are waiting for you at home. Put down your weapons and reunite with your family. ”

The sound shook all over the world, wave after wave, and everyone in Xiao Mill's army heard it. They couldn't help but be slightly stunned, looking at each other, and their hearts were touched.

"What?" And when Xiao Mo heard such a shout, he still didn't understand the strategy used by Li Qin. At the moment, everyone knows that his lair is occupied, and he can't even refute it, so he can only grit his teeth with hatred and turn a deaf ear to it.

At the moment, Xiao Mo led the troops to continue south, during which many soldiers fled. There were more than 20,000 people in the department, and after three days, there were only less than 8,000 left.

Because he was afraid that Li Qin's sailors would go south from Dongting Lake and seize the surrounding counties, he didn't even dare to go to Luo County, so he could only continue southward and breathe a long sigh of relief when he arrived in Xiangyin.

At this time, Xiao Mo got the news that the general under Li Qin's command was named Li Jing, and he led his troops south at the same time as Li Qin led the army westward.

He fought several battles with Lin Shihong, and won a complete victory in each battle, and then attacked the four counties of Poyang, Luling, Linchuan, and Yichun under Lin Shihong's rule, forcing Lin Shihong to retreat in a corner of Nankang.

Now Li Jing has 100,000 troops, stationed in Yichun, can enter Nankang in the south, and Changsha in the west, which is completely a situation of outflanking us.

"It seems that Li Yuanhua wants to completely sweep away the heroes in Jiangnan this time." After receiving such astonishing news, Xiao Miao, who had a headache, summoned all the generals under his command to gather in the county hall to discuss the next steps.

"Baling is gone, will we go south to Changsha next, or go west to Wuling?" Xiao Mo asked everyone's opinions directly.

"Lord, I suggest we go to Changsha." Dong Jingzhen, the right marshal under Xiao Miao, said loudly, "Wuling Nagada, except for the barbarians, is far inferior to Changsha for us at the moment. If we can gain a foothold in Changsha, then we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. ”

"But if we go to Changsha, we will have to face the tripartite forces of Li Qin, Li Jing, and Lin Shihong. Whether it's Li Qin or Lin Shihong, they don't deal with us! It's not easy for us to gain a foothold in Changsha. Xiao Mo thought about the current situation and sighed involuntarily.

Lin Shihong was the defeated general of his own subordinates, and he took Yuzhang County from him at the beginning, and the two could be described as old enemies.

And Li Qin is completely new hatred, now Li Qin is newly victorious, and he has arranged a large army in the north and east of him, and the news is very worried, Li Qin will call desperately.

"At that time, Lin Shihong will not save me from death, and let me face Li Qin's soldiers alone, which will be terrible." Xiao Mo understood this, so he was afraid of going south to Changsha.

But he also had to admit that going to Wuling was also a bad choice, Wuling is located in the west of Xiangyin, also on the edge of Dongting Lake, and it also belongs to the scope of Li Qin's naval division.

Wuling is not a big city, and Xiao Mo feels that such a city may not be able to withstand the bombardment of Li Qinjun's artillery several times.

"Damn, I don't have anywhere to go?" Xiao Mo was distressed by this: "Changsha and Wuling are not good places. ”

His brow furrowed tightly, and the furrows were connected so tight that they could kill a fly.

"Is the lord worried about Lin Shihong?" Zheng Wenxiu, who was on the side, looked at Xiao Miao's frowning brows and tried to guess.

"Lin Shihong is a hero, although he has been a little downtrod in the past two years, his backstage is still very powerful. This guy was born in a demon sect, and he has a lot of ghost methods, so he always has to be careful when dealing with him. Xiao Mo whispered.

Xiao Mo is the second leader of the Baling Gang, and he has a lot of cooperation with the Demon Gate Yin Kui Sect, and he is also clear about some of the characters in the Demon Gate. He naturally knew that Lin Shihong was really a pawn of the Demon Gate in the south.

"Since Lin Shihong is a hero, he should be able to understand the current situation. Now that Li Qin is so powerful, if we don't support each other in a group for warmth, I'm afraid that Li Qin will be defeated.

Lin Shihong was on the mission of the Demon Gate, and he definitely didn't want to do that...... So, as long as we send someone to convince him, we should be able to get his support.

With Lin Shihong joining forces with us, Li Qin must not dare to act rashly. Li Qin's attack on Jiangnan was to ensure the safety of his flank before Du Fuwei conquered Jingling. After all, Li Qin is going to compete with Du Fuwei.

Therefore, as long as we can support it for a period of time and sit and watch Li Qin go north, we will also have a chance to take a breather. ”

As a man of resourcefulness, Zheng Wenxiu listened to the information revealed by Xiao Mo and made an analysis of Lin Shihong and Li Qin.

"So...... Are we heading to Changsha? Xiao Miao's eyes widened.

"Only by going to Changsha can we have a chance. Somewhere else, we're really finished. Zheng Wenxiu said categorically.

Listening to the two generals under his command make the same judgment, Xiao Mo understood what decision he should make. At that moment, he stood up and clapped directly: "Okay, then let's go to Changsha!" ”
