Early the next morning, Xiao Ding asked the village chief of Tieniu to call the second pillar.

After a while, Erzhuzi panted and walked into the hall of the Tie Niu family. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed to Xiao Ding again and again.

As soon as Xiao Ding saw it, he had already guessed that it must be the village chief of Tieniu who told Erzhuzi about last night's incident. At this time, Erzhuzi knew that Xiao Ding understood the truth, and he was afraid that Xiao Ding would blame himself, so he kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

Xiao Ding didn't mean to blame him, but planned to ask him to come over and ask if he was willing to continue to be a guide.

So he asked: "Erzhuzi, you tricked me here and almost killed me, are you guilty?" ”

As soon as Erzhuzi heard Xiao Ding's question, he was so frightened that he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and he didn't know that his forehead was broken, and he shouted again and again: "The villain is guilty, the villain is guilty, the villain is forced by the adulterer, and it is also a last resort, please forgive the villain!" ”

Seeing Erzhuzi like this, Xiao Ding continued: "Okay, you don't have to kowtow, I'll give you a chance to make meritorious contributions now, are you willing to do it?" ”

"I'm willing, I'm willing, I don't know what kind of meritorious opportunity the adults give to the villain?" Erzhuzi finally stopped kowtowing, knelt and raised his head and asked.

"That is, you continue to be the guide of our army, and even if you lead us safely to Rongbo City, even if you complete the task, I will no longer pursue your guilt, if there is any accident on the way, then the two sins will be one, and then don't blame me for being rude!" Xiao Ding frightened.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your kindness! I will definitely help the adults bring the army to Rongbo City safely! Erzhuzi kowtowed again as he spoke.

"In that case, then you should hurry up, go home and prepare, and return to Nanchi County with me in a while." Xiao Ding said.

Breakfast was pumpkin brown rice porridge cooked by the Iron Cow Lady. Although the brown rice is a little coarse, the taste is okay, after all, you don't need to put any seasoning in the porridge. Just boil it in plain water, and it is the original porridge.

After Xiao Ding and Yue Yurou each drank a bowl of porridge, they planned to return to Nanchi County.

Before leaving, Xiao Ding instructed the village chief of Tieniu that there are still many dead snakes on the roads in the village, and they must be handled carefully, if the villagers want to eat snake meat, they must remove the snake head, and then clean it several times to avoid dipped in snake venom.

Of course, the best thing to do is not to touch it, just clean it up and bury it outside the village.

Tietou agreed one by one, he also knew that those snakes were poisonous, and the people in the countryside were no strangers to poisonous snakes, and they usually encountered them occasionally, so they naturally knew how to deal with them.

Not long after, Erzhuzi also came over with a package on his back, and his forehead was already bandaged with a cloth. The three of them mounted their horses and embarked on the path back to Nanchi County.

More than an hour later, the three returned to the county office of Nanchi County. Everyone was very happy to see Xiao Ding return safely. They all stepped forward to ask long and short questions.

After Xiao Ding walked into the hall and sat down, he told everyone about the trip.

Everyone heard that the Imperial Spirit Sect had also taken refuge in the King of Jiaozhou, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised. Especially the leaders of those Jianghu sects. Most of them have heard of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and know that the Imperial Spirit Sect is good at the Soul Sect, which can control birds, beasts, insects, etc., for their own use, which often makes people unguardable.

Since Xiao Ding is in danger of going, everyone is relieved, and the next step is to discuss the matter of entering the army. According to the report, the current garrison of Rongbo City is only three or four thousand people.

At present, there is not much left of the army under the king of Jiaozhou, most of them are guarding the border passes, and the king of Jiaozhou does not dare to transfer out easily. For fear that the Great Tobo Kingdom would suddenly send troops, if there were no soldiers guarding the border pass, wouldn't Jiangzhou be occupied by the Great Tobo Kingdom?

Listening to the two pillars, Rongbo City is located at the foot of Rongbo Mountain, backed by the mountain, only three sides have city walls and city gates, and its south side is the Rongbo Mountain.

Hearing this, Xiao Ding's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of a siege strategy. So, he immediately ordered that early tomorrow morning, he would start sending troops to Rongbo County, with Erzhu as a guide and leading the way in front.

With the two pillars leading the way, the army's march on the second day was relatively smooth, and the enemy did not arrange an ambush on the way into the mountain, or perhaps the troops of Rongbo City may not be enough.

In the evening, the army came to the outside of Rongbo City and set up camp.

There is a large open area outside Rongbo City, which is just suitable for Xiao Ding's tens of thousands of troops to camp.

Seeing the swords and spears on Rongbo City, Xiao Ding believed that the other party should have learned the news of the arrival of his army.

However, Xiao Ding didn't care too much, after dinner, after a short rest, Xiao Ding gathered all the generals and the leaders of various Jianghu sects in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Then, Xiao Ding asked Bai Qianbei and Mei Qiuyang to select a hundred people from the rivers and lakes again, carry blades, climb Rongbo Mountain tonight, and then go down the mountain from this direction of Rongbo City, enter the city, quickly occupy the north city gate, and then set fire to it, and personally lead the army to attack the city.

In fact, for the thousands of defenders in the city, in Yang Yueling's words, there is no need to mobilize the army so much, just fight directly.

However, what Xiao Ding thought was that there were so many "special forces" of the Jianghu sect that were not used, wouldn't it be a waste? Besides, if you seize the city gate first and then attack, you can also reduce the casualties of the soldiers, so why not?

So, that night, after nightfall, Bai Qianbei and Mei Qiuyang, two seniors in the rivers and lakes, led a hundred selected people from the rivers and lakes to secretly go out of the camp and climb the Rongbo Mountain on the south side of Rongbo City, and then quietly sneaked into the city from the mountain, and after going around to the north side, they suddenly launched an attack, quickly occupied the north city gate, and opened the city gate, and at the same time fired letter cannons and set fire to the enemy camp tent at the city gate.

Xiao Ding's side, leading the troops and the generals, had already been prepared, seeing the letter cannon rising into the air and the fire at the north gate of the other party, he knew that the "special forces" he sent over had succeeded, so he gave the order and the whole army attacked the city.

The thousands of defenders in Rongbo City were no match for Xiao Ding's tens of thousands of troops, and not long after the battle, the remaining more than 2,000 defenders in the city all dropped their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

So, Xiao Ding led the army and easily occupied Rongbo City. At the same time, about 2,000 surrendered troops were collected. There are also a lot of supplies stored in the city.

The commander of Rongbo City and the leader of the army were killed by the soldiers who surrendered in the midst of the rebellion, as a merit for the sacrifice.

Although Xiao Ding's troops also suffered hundreds of casualties, with the addition of 2,000 troops, his troops still maintained more than 50,000 troops.

After taking Rongbo City, although Xiao Ding was happy, he did not get carried away. He felt that this Rongbo City was flawed, and if the enemy attacked, he might also use his own methods to capture the city, so this place could not be regarded as a place to stay for a long time.

Therefore, he will continue to plan the next county seat, Jiajiang City.
