The east was covered with fish belly white, from the pontoon bridge to the north, you can see the soldiers of the Northern Army who died on the ground everywhere, and many people are still shirtless and barefoot, and their deaths are unknown. The three northern military camps were called to be burned clean, and the fire spread, affecting the pond fish, and the four or five adjacent camps were burned to the ground.

On the high-headed horse, Er Zhurong's face was very uncertain--- yesterday he was still "blowing and shouting" in front of Yuan Ziyou, saying that he was going to cross the pontoon bridge and storm the city fortress of the river bridge, but he didn't want to go to night, the white-robed thief who killed the sky didn't know what bear-hearted leopard gall he had eaten, but crossed the river and burned all the way, his army was negligent in defense, and the casualties were very serious.

There was a sentry kneeling in front of Erzhu Rong's horse, trembling, and he couldn't speak: "Qi... Qiyu Tianzhu, the white-robed thief not only burned several camps of our army, but also... I also went to Heyangwu and set another fire, and the boats that I had searched for a few days were burned. There were no more than three or five ships left. "Although Er Zhurong said that he wanted to storm the river bridge and fortress, he still collected a lot of boats as a backup, and now they are all destroyed, if he wants to gather the ferry again, he is afraid that he will not be busy for ten days and a half months.

Er Zhurong's face was pale, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Yuan Tianmu on the side hurriedly asked, "Where is the Heqiao City Fortress, is there any progress?" However, it was Er Zhurong who suddenly heard that the white-robed army was coming, although he was not shocked, he also taught Er Zhuzhao to lead the army to counterattack the south bank in his busy schedule, and see if he could take advantage of the situation to seize the Heqiao City Fortress.

The kneeling sentinel said with a sad face: "The city fortress of Heqiao is very well guarded, and Yingchuan Gong (Erzhu Zhao) has several unfavorable attacks, and he accidentally fell into the river, and ate several mouthfuls of muddy water, although he was saved ashore, he has caused a fever, and now he is lying in the camp vomiting and diarrhea, and he is bedridden. ”

Yuan Tianmu gasped: "Yingchuan Gong has suffered such a big loss... Could it be that there are still white-robed thieves in the city of Heqiao? ”

"I didn't see anyone in a white robe." The sentry scout hung his head and was dejected: "However, the guard of Heqiao City claims to be called Yang Zhong, and I heard that he is also a white-robed thief, and he fought back and forth in the city last night, and he is really brave." ”

Hearing that Er Zhu Zhao returned in vain, and almost lost his life, Er Zhu Rong was so angry that his phoenix eyes widened, and his shoulders trembled. The generals behind him looked at each other: How many years have it been, and Tianzhu has never been like this...

The sound of Suo Suo was faintly heard in the Wuchuan army array, but it was a few brothers who were talking to each other. Dugu Xin lowered his voice and said, "Then the guard in the Heqiao City Fortress is not Brother Zhong'er?" ”

Da Da, Da Da, a ride like flying. When he got closer, the knight jumped off his horse and his face was full of panic: "Enlighten the Heavenly Pillar!" The white-robed thief... The whereabouts of the white-robed thief have been discovered! ”

Erzhu Rong's voice was as deep as iron: "Speak! ”

The knight knelt on the ground, hung his head, his forehead almost pressed against the sand, and his voice trembled: "The white-robed thief... The white-robed thief robbed... Captured the North Middle City, and is now defending the city. ”

Everyone was taken aback, and the impatient ones blurted out: "It's miserable, isn't that the loss of most of the money and grain?" ”

It turned out that the progress of the northern army was too smooth before, and Er Zhurong realized that the river was about to be crossed, so he taught to gather all the grain, grass and baggage in the Beizhong City, which was the closest to the big river, so it was the most convenient to dispatch and allocate himself. He never thought that the white-robed army would dare to "defy the disapproval of the world", and only a few thousand people would counterattack the north bank, and they actually took Beizhong City in one fell swoop.

The grain and utensils in Beizhong City are piled up, and now they are all in the hands of the white-robed thieves, so you can imagine what the white-robed thieves will look like when they open the treasury of the Beizhong City. On the other hand, in their own army, even if they are pieced together, the food storage is not enough for a month's expenses.

When Yuan Ziyou heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and sighed: "This time it was Tianzhu's negligence." ”

With a sad face, Er Zhurong laughed angrily: "White-robed thief! Chen Qingzhi! Good, good, good, it's a character! Today's sky is high and cool, just in time for the big war, so I'll go and meet him for a while! With a whip of the whip, he shouted: "If the defender of Beizhong City has died in battle, find the corpse, and crush the bones and scatter ashes!" If he is still alive, Ling Chi will be executed and the three clans will be exterminated! ”

。。。。。。

At the head of Beizhong City, Chen Qingzhi laughed: "Xiaokuan, you see, Beizhong City was easily taken down, and the grain and grass in the city are enough to eat for a few years, but you say, can we defend this city?" ”

Pei Guo was dumbfounded, and secretly sighed that Chen Qingzhi's luck was amazing.

In the distance, I saw that the banner of "Erzhu" was overwhelming, but the clouds and wind were light on the city. The morale of the white-robed army is high, everyone is full of confidence, and the word "afraid" does not exist in the chest at all.

Er Zhurong came to the front of the battle, set up a big plan, ordered the drums to beat, and the first battle of Beizhong City started immediately.

The northern army poured into the city wall, the momentum was terrifying, and the white-robed army saw it in their eyes, as solid as a rock, and did not move at all. As far as they approached, the arrows above and below the city were like locusts, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the fight was inexorable.

This battle was lively, but in fact, the pressure on the white-robed army at the head of the city was very small. Everyone had already erected countless covers at the head of the city, not to worry about cold arrows under the city, but when they saw the gap, they just lifted the cover and knocked down the rolling wooden stones that took advantage of them, and smashed how many ladders they had for him.

Occasionally, the Northern Army would jump on the battlements, and the white-robed army was well-trained, in groups of three, one crouched in front of him and swung his sword to cut the enemy's lower plate, and the other two stood behind and stabbed the opponent with spears. Although the move is simple, the effect is extraordinary, the northern army soldiers jumped on the city, they were already unstable on their feet, and most of them were in a hurry after being attacked, either being cut down or poked down from the city.

In the final analysis, the northern army still came in a hurry, the siege equipment in the army is insufficient, and the soldiers have not many ways, so they have to carry the ladder that can be rushed out to climb the city, many of the ladders are too short and narrow, and they can't even take the head of the city--- it's no wonder, they all think that it will be more difficult to turn back and attack Luoyang, who would have expected that the north bank would jump out of the North Central City so hard? In addition, Er Zhurong was too angry, and he didn't think much about it, relying on the large number of people to hurry over, full of eagerness to win back a game, and the preparation was inevitably lacking.

So from morning to noon, the northern army attacked three times, leaving more than 1,000 corpses behind, and retreated. The white-robed army at the head of the city thundered with joy, counting casualties, and the loss was only about 30 people.

It was just after noon, the drums of the Northern Army sounded again, and the second battle broke out again.

This time, Er Zhurong personally beat the drums, and the morale of the Northern Army soared and flocked to it. The white-robed army was well organized and calmly responded to the battle.

From noon to unitary hour, the final result was almost the same as the first battle, the northern army came surgingly, retreated in a sloppy manner, and lost nearly a thousand soldiers.

It was getting late, and there was no time for dinner, and the third battle was fought in Beizhong City. Yuan Ziyou advised Er Zhurong to say: "The number of attacks is unfavorable, and the army's spirit has been shaken. It's getting late, so it's better to stop here. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Er Zhurong only thought that Yuan Ziyou was mocking himself, so he ignored the other party with a cold face and ordered a fierce attack.

The soldiers of the Northern Army were already frustrated, and they all cried and mourned when they heard the order, but they were forced by the power of the Tianzhu, so they had to fight spiritually. But at this time, the ladders are almost consumed, so how can we talk about attacking the city? Many people took the flying hook and hung it in the city, and the white-robed army in the city saw it clearly, but wielded a sharp blade and easily cut off one by one. Not long after, the city was full of Northern Army generals with broken heads and broken legs.

Er Zhurong sighed hatefully, brushed his face, and ordered Mingjin: "Hurry up overnight to make siege equipment, and fight again tomorrow." ”

Tomorrow, after dark, a fourth battle was fought. However, it was Erzhu Shilong who proposed to attack at night, and Erzhu Rong praised him for his "good courage", and immediately allocated him 3,000 people who dared to die to go and give it a try.

The northern army rushed to the city, and suddenly heard a bang on the city, followed by a great firelight, and countless torches were lit. It turned out that Chen Qingzhi had prepared a hundred bronze mirrors early in the morning, and at this time, the fire was illuminated, and it was as straight as day.

The northern army was caught off guard, and was dizzy for a while, unable to open their eyes at all, and in the eyes of the white-robed army at the head of the city, they were good arrow targets that were stunned in place. The sound of bangzi became louder and louder, and the feather arrows in the city were shot down intensively, and the northern army could not avoid it, with heavy casualties, and more than half of the effort was lost in a moment.

Erzhu Shilong was hit by an arrow in his arm, and his blood flowed for a long time, so he led the remnants to flee back to the camp in a panic, and did not dare to say the word "war" again.
