In the middle of June 135 of the new calendar, the 20,000 troops of the Kingdom of Egus and the 20,000 troops of the Republic of Bujin arrived in the south of Liangyue City, and on June 22, the reorganized Byronsburg army also arrived in the south of Liangyue City and joined the armies of the two countries. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The troops of the Byrensburg expedition consisted of five regiments of Byrensburg and five regiments of Hope City, two engineer regiments that had been reorganized, as well as an independently formed musket unit, and the "lord's escort regiment" of 2,000 men, which had been reorganized in early June, with a total strength of about 15,000 men.

Counting the people, the three armies converged with a total number of more than 100,000 people, the commander-in-chief was Maier, and the lieutenants were Salin and Yanhe. Neither the Kingdom of Egus nor the Republic of Bukin had taken command, but had placed their armies and civilians under the management of Mer.

Myr's wives and concubines were all left in Byronsburg because they wanted to raise children. He Yan Xinye couldn't hide her belly because her belly was too big, so she could only make her pregnant public and raise a baby with her wives and concubines.

Before the expedition, Alice sent Ista to Mair and sent Lulu with the army. Mel understood what Alice meant, and when he saw that his wives and concubines had not stopped him, he knew that they had reached a tacit understanding, so he could only acquiesce to them to follow him. On June 25, the coalition forces officially marched towards the hinterland of the Xiaohu family.

On the day the troops marched out, Wei Lin and the Wei family, who had been arrested for resisting the raid of their homes, were sent back to Shangjin County and handed over to the people of Shangjin County for disposal. In the afternoon of the same day, the new principal of Shangjin County could not withstand the pressure exerted by the people and sent Wei Lin and the arrested Wei family members to the guillotine.

However, Wei Xu was not one of them. Although he was also a member of Wei's family, and he did not surrender to Meier, in early June, Dai Yong personally came to Bairensburg with a petition from the people of Limi City, hoping that Meier would open up to Wei Xu, so Meier did not send Wei Xu to Shangjin County with him.

Wei Xu and his loyalists were kept in a wooden hut on the southern outskirts of Byronsburg, where they were guarded by the city guards. The city defense sent fifty men to watch over the captives and provide them with three meals a day, as Mer had commanded. Dan Yunhe persuaded Wei Xu to escape from prison many times, but Wei Xu did not agree.

"Yunhe, what if we escape from prison?" Wei Xu said with a wry smile, "This is Byronsburg, we don't know each other well, and even if we escape, no one will help us." Even if we get out of here, what will we do? Limi City has been lost, the Wei family is finished, there are more than a dozen of us, do you still want to recapture Limi City with these people? ”

It is not an impossible task for a dozen people to take over the city. There are no walls in Limi City, and Wei Xu and they can enter the city at will as long as they disguise their identities. With Wei Xu's popularity in Limi City, it is not a problem to mobilize one or two thousand people to rise up and resist.

But what about after that?

Wei Xu only has one Limi City, and even if he can defeat Mai's army again and again, there is still little hope of turning the tables around. Although Wei Xu is a general, he can also understand the aspirations of the people. The Wei family has lost the hearts of the people, and without the support of the people, what if Wei Xu can fight again? Even if Li Mi City is loyal to Wei Xu, the people of Li Mi City will die one day. As long as Maier still has the hearts of the people, Wei Xu has no chance to turn over.

What's more, there are two generals under Meier who are enough to suppress Wei Xu, although Wei Xu is a general, but he is still a little too tender compared to old fritters like Salin and Yanhe. Wei Xu felt that as long as he was given another ten years, he would definitely be able to catch up with the two generals under Maier, but the problem was that Maier could not give him this time.

After Dan Yunhe tried to persuade Wei to escape from prison again to no avail, the city defense army brought them food and water. The man who carried out this task was Yan Zhiheng, and after the child in his sister's womb was gone, he was determined to do something for Myer. He Yan Zhiheng felt that he had no talent, so he went to serve in the city defense army according to the arrangement made by Maier before. Originally, Maier wanted him to start as a grassroots officer, but Yan Zhiheng didn't want to be specialized, and became an ordinary soldier in the sequence of the Byronsburg City Defense Force.

Because of his poor physical fitness, He Yan Zhiheng could only help in the kitchen at first. He exercises every day, and his body is much stronger than before. Now he can carry out patrol tasks with other soldiers, because of his simple personality and generous shots, he is very popular with everyone.

Although his body has become strong, He Yan Zhiheng knows that his courage is still too small. In order to exercise his courage, he took the initiative to take on the task of delivering food to the captives. Wei Xu's entourage were all five big and three thick, and their eyes at Yan Zhiheng were very unfriendly. Mel also forbade the city guards to tie them up, so they could attack and speak at any time.

When he first came to deliver food with Yan Zhiheng, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't even say a whole sentence. Now he seemed very calm, he put down the wooden barrel full of dry food, walked through Wei Xu's personal entourage, and took away the wooden barrel that contained the staple food of the previous meal. In addition to him, there were two soldiers who delivered food, one was responsible for delivering water and the other was responsible for delivering food.

The other two left directly after completing the task, but Yan Zhiheng did not leave immediately, but asked the captives at the door, "Do you need anything else?" ”

Wei Xu shook his head, and Yan Zhiheng was about to leave when he saw this, but then Wei Xu spoke.

"Meyer? When is Byron ready to kill me? ”

He Yan Zhiheng listened to Wei Xu's words, turned around unhurriedly, and smiled slightly.

"Lord Maier is kind-hearted, he won't kill you."

"How is my second uncle and the others?"

"Sorry, no comment."

After saying goodbye to Yan Zhiheng, he bowed slightly to the captives, and then left the wooden house.

Wei Xu was very surprised by his wording and polite attitude, he thought that He Yan Zhiheng was just an ordinary soldier, and mistakenly thought that the soldiers in Meier's army were all of this quality, so he showed a helpless wry smile.

You don't lose unjustly, you don't lose unjustly......

Wei Xu is not making excuses for himself. In the first battle of Limicheng, he did not make any mistakes in arranging the troops, but he didn't know that there was a secret passage that could lead to the top of the mountain, so he fell for Yanhe's plan, so he was not convinced. But after becoming a prisoner of Byronsburg, he saw the strength of Byronsburg, and then he was slowly convinced.

The Byronsburg Army was very well armed, and most of this equipment was purchased by the Theological Society. After the emigration was over, the Theological Society began to collect weapons and equipment from its members and catechumens, who cooperated with each other to hand over all their weapons and equipment, so that Meier's regular army would have sufficient weapons and equipment.

Some of the remaining weapons and equipment were captured by Maier from the Black Shrine, some by Yishan from Liangyue City, some by Euris from the Kingdom of Augustus, and some by the Ilibians who sent them. All in all, from the founding of Byronsburg to the present, Mayer has hardly purchased weapons and equipment from official channels.

At the same time, the quality of the soldiers of the Byronsburg Army was not ordinarily high, and the soldiers were very visible and had been rigorously trained. When Wei Xu was captured by Yanhe and returned to the battlefield, the 3rd Regiment of Byronsburg happened to join the battle. They went around to the flank of the Kamijin Prefectural Army, first conducted a round of flat fire with bows and crossbows, and then formed an infantry phalanx with squadrons as units, and methodically slaughtered the morale-shaking Kamijin Prefectural Army.

Danyunhe's battalion was the most elite battalion under Wei Xu, but even Danyunhe's battalion quickly collapsed under the attack of an infantry squadron of the 3rd Regiment of Byronsburg, and only dozens of people around Danyunhe were still desperately resisting. If it weren't for Yan He who captured Wei Xu back, Dan Yunhe would probably have died on the battlefield.

After the battle, Yan He released all the prisoners except Wei Xu and his entourage, and Dan Yunhe was also released. But Dan Yunhe insisted on staying with Wei Xu, so Yan He followed his wishes and took him as a prisoner.

In fact, Dan Yunhe did not really be loyal to Wei Xu, in the final analysis, he was just playing with his temper. thought that Dan Yunhe wanted to leave the twenty-ninth village with Yan He, but Yan He didn't want him. Now that he saw Yan He again, he had become her defeated subordinate, which made Dan Yunhe's heart very complicated.

He really wanted to go back to work under Yan He, but Yan He looked at him and didn't care, because she didn't care if Dan Yunhe went or stayed. Dan Yunhe saw that Yan He didn't care about himself at all, so he lost his temper and deliberately showed that he was very loyal to Wei Xu in front of Yan He, but Yan He still turned a blind eye to him.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dan Yunhe both admires and loves Yanhe. As early as when Dan Yoon-ha was serving at Nami Castle, the officers who served with him often joked about him, saying that he had a crush on Yanhe. But at that time, everyone was just joking, but they didn't want Dan Yunha to really have that kind of idea at that time. Dan Yoon-ha, who was poked out of his heart, had a big fight with the joking officers, and after that, the matter became known to passers-by.

However, Yanhe is obviously not one of the "passers-by". She didn't have any interest in the Ira people in the twenty-nine villages, and even now, there were only a few people of the other race who could make her interested, and there was only one one of the different races and the opposite sex who could make her happy. But Yanhe's impression on Maier was too bad, so until now, Maier only regarded her as a more important subordinate.

After lunch that day, Changrong took several guards from the official evaluation committee and accompanied Dai Yong to visit Wei Xu in the wooden hut where the prisoners were held. In fact, this task should not have been carried out by her, but after the territorial expansion, the officials of Bairensburg were very busy, and only the official appraisal committee was relatively idle.

Dai Yong wanted to visit his lord, so he went to ask Yu Changnian, Yu Changnian wanted Yu Mingli to send a few people to accompany him, but Yu Mingli said that he wanted to sort out the materials sent by the new territory, except for the subordinates who maintain the law and order of Bairensburg on a daily basis, others were either sent to the new territory to form security forces and city defense forces, or were training recruits, in short, no one could spare time.

In desperation, Yu Changnian had no choice but to find Changrong, hoping that she could take Dai Yong to visit Wei Xu. In fact, there are few people under Changrong who are idle, but at present, Bairensburg really can't draw manpower, and Meier is quite optimistic about Dai Yong, and it is difficult for Bairensburg to refuse his simple request, so Changrong can only reluctantly lead Dai Yong to visit Wei Xu.

Chang Rong was the first to enter the door. Wei Xu heard the sound of the door opening, subconsciously looked over, and then his eyes were completely attracted by Changrong. It has been more than a year since the last time I saw Changrong, but Wei Xu has not forgotten her. At the moment of "reunion" with Changrong, Wei Xu felt that this must be the arrangement of fate. This young man, who fell in love with an older and beautiful woman as soon as he saw it, instantly fell under Changrong's puzzled gaze.

However, in Changrong's perspective, she only saw a young man who seemed to have not eaten for several years, but suddenly saw a pot of stewed meat, so that his eyes lit up, and he seemed to be about to drool. When Dai Yong saw this young man, he walked over with tears in his eyes, knelt in front of him with a plop, and kowtowed three times in a row. But the young man does not exist in the contemporary Yong, and his eyes have been looking at Changrong.

I didn't expect this Wei Xu to be such a bad person!

Changrong had long forgotten about seeing Wei Xu, and in her opinion, this was the first time she had seen Wei Xu. When she saw that Wei Xu actually ignored the loyal Dai Yong, she felt disgusted with him.

Dai Yong wanted to report to Wei Xu about the situation in Limi City, and after he spoke, Wei Xu finally noticed him. But Wei Xu went straight to Changrong, asking her long and short questions, but Dai Yong only coped with things. Wei Xu's entourage felt very chilled when they saw that he looked at women more heavily than loyal ministers.

Of course, the most chilling one is Dai Yong, who came from afar, and did not hesitate to whisper and beg for someone to see Wei Xu. Seeing that Wei Xu didn't want to take care of himself at all, he left the wooden house in frustration. Changrong didn't want to deal with Wei Xu, but when she saw Dai Yong leaving, she also left the wooden house with people.

Wei Xu forgot the identity of his captive and wanted to chase him out, but it was not yet time to let him out, and it was impossible for the city defense soldiers guarding the gate to let him out. Wei Xu argued with the soldiers of the city defense army for a few words, and saw that Changrong was about to go away, so he put down the guards outside the door in three or two clicks and chased after Changrong. Changrong heard the movement behind him, turned around vigilantly, and just saw Wei Xu stepping over a city defense soldier lying on the ground and groaning, running towards him.

Changrong thought that Wei Xu was going to escape, so he led someone to meet him. Wei Xu saw Changrong turn around, thinking that she was finally willing to talk to herself, so she was overjoyed, and quickly stood in place and tidied up her hairstyle. But before he could show a confident smile, Changrong's fist smashed over.

At this time, the reinforcements of the city defense army also arrived, and they swarmed up and pressed Wei Xu, who was stunned by Changrong's punch, to the ground. To their surprise, although Wei Xu "escaped", his entourage stayed honestly in the wooden house. The city guards threw Wei Xu back to the wooden house, nailed the door shut, and sent more people to guard it.
