Just as Jiang Wan expected, in the next few days, although Na Xie Qi launched a fierce attack on Fengjing City without interruption, the rebel army, which had lost its sharpness, although the offensive was fierce, the pressure on the defenders was worse day by day, for three consecutive days, and in the end, even the rebel army was rarely able to attack the city, let alone break through the city gate.

By this time, Xie Qi had already understood that what the rebel general said that day was true, and the number really did not fully represent the combat effectiveness, especially after the soldiers defending the city gradually lost the panic they had when they first fought, and the progress of the siege became even more unbearable.

The afterglow of the setting sun released the last ray of light between heaven and earth, looking at the city wall that always stood like a mountain, Xie Qi couldn't say what kind of feeling it was in his heart at the moment, he only knew that wanting to break through this city seemed to have become a luxury, even if he still had an absolute advantage in his hands now, but this advantage, the facts have confirmed that the words of the rebel general before were not false, after the initial frustration dissipated, all that remained was endless loneliness and confusion.

The dilapidated city wall of Fengjing revealed a sense of vicissitudes and majesty in the setting sun, more like an insurmountable mountain in the hearts of all the rebels outside Fengjing City.

"My lord, we ......" A rebel general came to Xie Qi with a disgraced face, looking at Xie Qi's appearance, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.

has tried his best, but the combat power of the defenders of the sealed well seems to be getting stronger and stronger, and the failure to break through the sealed well for three consecutive days has made these rebel soldiers outside the sealed well lose their spirit, and they are not regular troops, not to mention that in the case of unfavorable operations, no matter how to encourage morale, even if these rebel generals do not know the art of war, it can be seen that in the current state, it is impossible to forcibly break through.

"Since the strong attack can't break the sealed well......" Xie Qi came back to his senses, sorted out his mood, and looked at the sealed well under the sunset: "Then collect the troops for the time being, surround the sealed well, and I will think of another clever plan to break the city." ”

In any case, this battle between himself and Jiang Weak, it is impossible for him to admit defeat, it is not about the qi in his heart, the granary of the imperial court is stored in the sealed well city, and the weapons and baggage are all here, which is also a very important strategic position for the entire rebel army, and it cannot be missed.

"Whoa!"

Several rebel generals were relieved, and they bowed their hands one after another, preparing to withdraw their troops, although they could not break through the city wall, but if they just besieged but did not attack, there was no problem.

Compared with Xie Qi, Jiang is weak in the past few days, but the days are good, with the curfew and other strict laws issued, the entire Fengjing City has fallen into a dead silence, every day in addition to the distribution of food in the morning and evening, the entire Fengjing is not allowed to appear in the scene of the people gathering, so that what the rebel remnants in the city want to do, naturally only have a chance every morning and evening.

For three days, the harvest was very rich, and dozens of remnants of the rebels were caught, including three large fish.

"Make Junzhi scheming, and admire it. Zhang Xuan, who witnessed how Jiang Wan forced the remnants of these rebels out step by step, had to admire Jiang Qiao's ability at this time.

"Little Doyle. Jiang Qiao smiled and waved his hand.

"Lord, now I have only caught a few dozen, I am worried that there are more rebel remnants hiding in the city, with the precedent of these three days, I am afraid it will be more difficult to catch them again. Dong Ping looked at Jiang Weakdao worriedly.

"That's enough. Jiang Wan shook his head: "If you catch too much, the government still has to take care of the food, it is difficult enough to support the people of this city, and thanks to the funding of Zhang Gong and other gentry, there is no need to trouble them." ”

Zhang Wei smiled: "It's just a few meals, and I can afford it." ”

"Really?" Jiang Qiao's eyes lit up and looked at Zhang Xuan.

"Uh......" Zhang Yu was speechless, and suddenly remembered that Jiang was weak during this time, but he was poor and crazy, if he opened this mouth, wouldn't he hit the muzzle of the gun himself?

"Zhang Gong rest assured, jokingly, with these people, they can almost repel this group of rebels and thieves. Jiang Qiao said with a smile.

"The subordinates brought all the rebels and thieves to people. Dong Ping's eyes lit up, Jiang Qiao's ability to ask questions was no lower than his ability to fight, and he couldn't wait.

"The rest of the minions are just little ones, and they can't ask anything, but the three big fish, and I'm going to interrogate them tonight, and they'll be able to do us a great favor. Jiang Qiao waved his hand and smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, I'll drink this cup first." ”

The three rebel thieves were forcibly pressed to the ground by several wolf-like county guards, looking at Jiang Weak, who was sitting on the main seat of the public hall, the three of them struggled frantically, and one of them roared: "Dog officer, even if you die, you don't want to betray the heavenly father." ”

"Okay!" Jiang Qiao stroked his palm and praised: "What this official admires the most is a strong man of integrity like you." ”

"Hmph!" the rebel general who was named craned his neck, disdainful of Jiang Qiao's praise.

"For the righteous man, if the official extorts a confession by words and deeds, it is an insult to the name of the righteous man. With a warm smile on his face, Jiang Qiao pulled out his sword, walked down from behind the table, and stabbed the sword into his chest little by little under the stunned gaze of the rebel general.

Jiang Weak's sword is not fast, others can see Jiang Weak's sword piercing into the opponent's heart little by little at a constant speed, but Jiang Weak's face has always had a warm smile that has never changed, and he is smiling very happily, the rebel general is swinging his body wildly, trying to break free, and his mouth is even making a terrible scream, which makes people even feel immersed.

"My sword is not strong, if I meet a good kendo, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk a few times. Jiang Qiao admired his painful expression and smiled: "But this official has a lot of experience with the human body, he knows where the pain is the most, and he will not kill you directly, but he can make you worse than dead, and let you die painfully!"

"What are you asking!?" the rebel thief roared in pain.

"I don't want to ask anything. Jiang was unmoved and continued to stab his sword.

The angry scolding and screams finally turned into a cry of pleading, this sword, Jiang weakly stabbed for a quarter of an hour before piercing the opponent's body, blood and sweat flowed all over the ground, the rebel general lay on the ground like a fish about death, his body that had lost his strength twitched unconsciously on the ground, but his face had a sense of relief satisfaction, and even a little smile, but this weird smile made the hearts of everyone present chill.

Jiang Wan beckoned, and a county official trembled and handed over a handkerchief.

Wiping the sweat on his head, Jiang Miao smiled: "This interrogation is sometimes a hard work!"

Zhang Wei swallowed his saliva, he regretted coming to watch it a little, even Dong Ping, who had followed Jiang Weak for many years, was pale, and he didn't even dare to face Jiang Weak's smiling face.

Jiang Wan turned his head, looked at the other two rebel leaders who were also pale and said with a smile: "The official's favorite thing is hard bones, I hope the two of you don't disappoint the official." ”

"Envoy, we are willing to surrender, please make the monarch merciful!" Before he was still the leader of the rebel army who regarded death as home, but at this moment his face was pale, and he took the initiative to kneel in front of Jiang Wan with trembling, kowtowing like pounding garlic and begging, they watched the death process of their companions throughout the whole process, although they did not feel the pain, but the suffering of their companions and the relieved smile before death completely destroyed their hearts.

What kind of pain does it take to see death as a relief? They don't know, and they don't want to know.

"There is no need to surrender. Jiang weakly shook his head in disappointment, sat back at the table, looked at the two of them and said, "How do you contact the outside of the city, have you ever had contact with you and the others recently?"

"Return to the envoy. A rebel leader wanted to answer, but was stopped by Jiang weak.

"Come one by one, you answer first, pull him down, and the official will ask the same question later, if what you two say is wrong, believe me, I will teach you to regret that your mother brought you into this world!"

Dong Ping understood, and hurriedly instructed several county guards to take one person out of the court, leaving only one person kneeling alone in the hall.

"Say!" Jiang Qiao pulled out the sword again, and used the bloody tip of the sword to pick the dirt between his fingernails, the smile on his face was no longer there, and he said indifferently.

"This villain doesn't know that the person in charge of liaison in the city has always been the leader of Pei. ”

"So, you're useless?" Jiang Wan sat up and looked at this person with a smile.

"Yes...... The villain knows where the leader Pei is, and he also knows where the other fourteen leaders in the city are, and now in the city, there is a total of me...... Five hundred and seventy-six rebels were not captured. ”

"Then speak up. Jiang Miao said indifferently: "You should know that if any person's name or position is different from the other, both of you will die, and you will die very miserably." ”

"What the villain said is not false. The leader hurriedly promised: "The big leader of Pei is named Pei Feng, who was originally a ranger of Yang Xie Juyi, and he is quite brave......

"Wait, you said that person's name is Pei Feng?" Jiang Qiao suddenly interrupted, Pei Feng's name, it was very familiar.

"Yes, it's Pei Feng. ”

Next, this person told Jiang Wan everything he knew, he was already a high-level rebel in the city, before the rebels started, he was the person responsible for contacting all parties, and after the incident, he was also a more powerful person around Xie Qi, except for how to contact outside the city, he knew a lot about the rebels in the city.

After asking some details in detail, Jiang Wan asked this person to stay and detain him temporarily, and asked another person to be brought in for questioning, and the information obtained was basically the same before giving up.

"It should be correct!" Jiang Wan stood up and said.

"I'm waiting for such a tight check, I don't want so many rebel remnants. Zhang Yu also stood up and sighed: "Fortunately, the king issued a strict order in time, so that he has no chance to take advantage of it, otherwise once these more than 500 people suddenly attack, it will not be difficult to capture a city gate!"

In the end, Zhang Yu was also afraid for a while.

"What is the lord going to do, will he immediately send troops to encircle and suppress Pei Feng and the others?" Dong Ping looked at Jiang Qiao.

"Don't move him for now. Jiang Wan shook his head: "Let them jump out to help us by themselves." ”
