Huang Fuyi trembled his hands and took over the information sent by the soldiers, every article, every sentence made Huang Fuyi feel heavy, Chen He died of illness, the capital fell, Ji Changyou died in battle, Li Zhen was killed, and the Empress Dowager was captured, each of which was a steel knife that cut Huang Fuyi's heart bloody.

Huangfu couldn't help but cry...

"The old man is ashamed of the first emperor!"

"General, what should we do now?" A subordinate general asked cautiously.

"Back to Beijing!"

Huang Fuyi put down the information in his hand and made up his mind that all the food and grass supplies in Ganping City were provided by the Jingshi, and now that the Jingshi has fallen, the grain and grass have been broken, and he must return to Beijing to recapture the Jingshi, and take the Queen Mother and His Majesty back from Cao Zhuo's hands, it is expected that Cao Thief will not dare to hurt the Queen Mother and His Majesty, at most the two will be imprisoned.

As long as these 50,000 soldiers and horses are there, Da Zhou will not be able to die...

What's more, half of the 50,000 soldiers under his command are from the Jingshi, if the news of the fall of the Jingshi comes, it will definitely cause chéng rén's heart to fluctuate and morale to be lost, even if he can suppress it, but how long can he hold on?

Back to Beijing!

Must go back to Beijing!

"Tell me to go down and set up a suspicious array at the head of the city! Let's go back to Beijing overnight! Huang Fuyi ordered.

"Subordinates obey!" The ministry will give up.

The next day, Cao Zhuo's general Yuan Poyu felt that there was something strange about the city, and sent people to the city to check, only to find that the city was empty, and then he took Ganping City without blood, but Yuan Poyu did not dare to act rashly, because he was afraid that this was Huang Fuyi's strategy, and deliberately lured himself out of the city to pursue, and then set up an ambush, so Yuan Poyu took a very safe way, sent a few small teams of men and horses to explore the way, and the army did not move, waiting for news.

On the capital side, the Cao army, which had already received Cao Zhuo's order, began to plunder everything that could be plundered even more frantically, such as money and grain, craftsmen, women, etc., in preparation for the return to Xizhou.

Liu Ming saw all this in his eyes, thinking that the little emperor was killed by Cao Zhuo, and the Empress Dowager He was raped 0.0 lewd, and finally couldn't hold back the anger, Cao Zhuo has changed, the original corporal Lixian was polite and polite, and it set off his current madness, Cao Thief is not dead, and the world is unstable.

Liu Ming knew he had to make a choice.

On this day, Cao Zhuo convened the generals to discuss the matter, and Cao Zhuo sat on the main seat and asked, "How much money and grain have been collected now?" ”

Cao Meng replied: "Lord, Luo is worthy of being the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, rich in private assets and goods, and there are many wealthy merchants, and now thousands of households have been confiscated, and thousands of assets have been plundered, which can be used in Xizhou for several years!" ”

"Good! Good! ”

Cao Zhuo clapped his hands happily, "Xizhou is desolate and sparsely populated, and millions of people from Luodu can be moved to Xizhou, Cao Meng, this matter is up to you!" ”

"Don't worry, the lord will definitely handle this matter properly!"

Cao Zhuo nodded and looked around at the generals: "Is there anything else to do?" ”

Liu Ming came out of the queue and bowed his hand and said: "Lord, there will be something important to start at the end!" ”

"What?"

"Dare to ask the lord, the world is shabby, who is the crime?"

Cao Zhuo's face suddenly turned cold: "General Liu, what do you mean by this?" The world is swaying, and the sin lies in Ji Yuanwu! ”

Liu Ming stood up, his eyes were resolute, and he scolded angrily: "The world is shaking, and the sin lies with Cao Zhuo!" ”

Pulling out a short dagger from his arms, he stepped forward quickly, and stabbed Cao Zhuo angrily, Cao Zhuo saw this, and hurriedly overturned the case in front of him, blocking Liu Ming's fatal blow.

Liu Ming stepped forward again, about to kill Cao Zhuo, but he didn't expect Cao Zhuo to catch Liu Ming's arm at once, twist it hard, only to hear a "quack", and directly twisted Liu Ming's arm!

Liu Ming screamed miserably, and bǐ shǒu fell to the ground, at which point Cao Meng finally reacted, and a sword stabbed into Liu Ming's back, piercing out of his chest.

Liu Ming's face turned gray in an instant, pink bubbles swelled in his mouth, and he muttered, "It's a pity..."

Fall to the ground!

Cao Zhuo looked at Liu Ming, whose eyes were gradually dimming, and was furious, grabbed Liu Ming's collar, and scolded: "Liu Ming, I treat you well, why are you against me?" ”

"Ahem!"

Liu Ming coughed up a large pool of blood in his mouth: "You are so cruel and unkind, I can't wait to divide your five horses to thank the world!" I just didn't expect... You are hiding so deeply, you know how to fight..."

Cao Zhuo clasped Liu Ming's head with his big hand, twisted it hard, Liu Ming's neck bone was broken and died, Cao Zhuo looked at Liu Ming, who had been killed by himself, and threw it to the ground casually, and said to the guard: "Drag it out, feed the dog!" ”

Then he looked at the other generals: "You all go down!" ”

"Yes!"

All the generals did not dare to stay longer, and quickly retreated.

And Cao Zhuo stayed in the hall for a long time.

......

"What!?"

Chu Ying sat up in surprise and asked loudly: "You said that Liu Gui broke through Wenxian and Baoshan and led the army to Liaocheng?" ”

"Yes!" The commander bowed his head deeply.

"How is this possible? There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Baoshan Wen County, how could they be captured by 3,000 people in Leyang District? ”

Ling Bing hurriedly said: "General Qiyu is not only Liu Guibu, but also the five thousand soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu!" ”

"Impossible, Guan Yu's general flag is still erected in the Dongyu army!" One of the generals didn't believe it at all and asked loudly.

Chu Ying staggered a few steps and said to the generals: "We have been tricked, and we have fallen into Liu De's plan to attack the west!" Liaocheng is in danger! ”

The generals were in an uproar: "What should I do?" ”

"Liaocheng is broken, then our Liaoyuan will be finished..."

Chu Ying stood up and paced back and forth: "Even if Liu Gui and Guan Yu keep hurrying day and night, they can't make up for the fact that the road is far away, not to mention that there are several county towns blocking it, and each county has at least hundreds of soldiers and horses, which can completely delay them for some time. It's just that Liu De will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, and he will definitely follow our army with all his strength in an attempt to destroy us, so we must leave a team of men and horses to stop the Dongyu army in Liaoyuan, generals! Who wants to take on this great responsibility! ”

"This..."

The generals glanced at each other, no one dared to come forward to agree, the Dongyu army was strong, if they stayed, maybe it would be a dead end, and no one wanted to take this unlucky errand!

Of course, Chu Ying knew what these generals thought, sighed, and scolded in his heart: "What a group of wine bags and rice bags!" The lord is so courteous. ”

Then Chu Ying added: "This general only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to support Liaocheng, and the remaining 30,000 horses are more than enough to hold Liaoyuan as long as they are properly commanded..."

Chu Ying turned his head to look at one of them and said, "Chezhuang, it's up to you to defend the city!" ”

Che Zhuang got up and responded: "The last general will take the order!" Please rest assured that the general is in the city! ”

Chu Ying nodded, Che Zhuang is a general promoted by himself, although his official position is low, but his character is tenacious, everything can be completed without discount, it is not comparable to that group of old fritters, as long as he strictly follows his orders, it will not be a problem to hold Liaoyuan City.

Then Chu Ying looked at the other generals and counted the people, "Yu Wei, Wang Kai, Xiao Bu, and others will follow me to Liaocheng, and the rest of the people will follow Chezhuang's orders, guard Liaoyuan City, and wait for General Ben to come back!" ”

"Yes!"

The rest of the generals responded in unison, although some veterans were dissatisfied with Chu Ying's appointment, but because of Chu Ying's prestige, they could only accept his appointment, but what they thought in their hearts, I don't know.

......

How could the movement of the 20,000-strong army conceal Dongyu's sentinels?

Liu De soon learned about the mobilization of the army in Liaoyuan City, so he immediately summoned the generals and Xu Shu and Xun Yu to discuss the military aircraft.

Liu De put his hands on the desk and said to everyone: "Chu Ying hurriedly led the troops away in such a situation, according to my guess, it should be General Liu Gui and General Guan!" At the very least, it is already approaching Liaocheng! ”

Xu Shu said: "What the lord said is very true! Since Chu Ying wants to leave, then we have to keep him! ”

"The current defender is Chu Ying's cronies, named Che Zhuang, although Che Zhuang is excellent in martial arts, but his qualifications are shallow, Chu Ying actually takes him as the main general, I don't know if he has nothing to do or is dizzy..."Xun Yu analyzed to everyone.

When the two armies confronted each other, the Dongyu army had already roughly understood the generals under Chu Ying's command, and of course Chu Ying would also go to explore the ability of the generals under Liu De's command.

"Maybe there's no way around it!" Liu De also smiled.

Xun Yu continued: "As long as we exert a certain amount of pressure, there will be contradictions in the city, and I am afraid that Chezhuang's ability will not be able to suppress those veterans!" ”

"Good!" Liu De ordered: "From today on, the army will begin to attack the city, and take Liaoyuan City within three days, General Gongsun, and when you take Liaoyuan City, it is time for your department to start exerting its strength!" ”

"Please rest assured! The last general will not disappoint the lord! Gongsun Qi knelt down on one knee and bowed to Liu De.

"Inform Chen Qi and Jiang Lin to start attacking Lankou and Wuqiu!"

"Yes!"

The actions of the Dongyu army are very fast, it should be said that this day has been waiting for a long time!

Xu Hai, as the director of the manufacturing department, also went out of the city with the army, and has been desperately making siege equipment in the past few days, if it drags on, even if Chu Ying has an army of 50,000, he may not be able to resist Liu De's attack.

Several ladders, siege vehicles, and dozens of trebuchets were all pushed in front of Liaoyuan City, and they were already prepared.

"Start the siege! Trebuchet, put! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dozens of stones flew towards the head of the city like a torrential rain, hitting the city, the gravel splashed, the dust flew, although the accuracy of the trebuchet was worrying, dozens of stones, only a dozen smashed on the city wall, and even only two unlucky eggs were hit by the rubble.

However, trebuchets still play a major role in siege warfare, which can greatly demoralize the enemy, destroy the city walls, and give the enemy a great deterrent.

Sure enough, as expected, under the attack of the trebuchet, the enemy's defense on the city wall was completely disrupted, and of course, there were several trebuchets at the head of the enemy army, and they began to counterattack the Dongyu army.

But this counterattack had no effect, but made the Dongyu army's trebuchet gather fire to knock out the trebuchet at the head of the city of Liaoyuan.

Unfortunately, in addition to the lack of accuracy, the trebuchet body is also very easy to damage, but after several throws, several trebuchets are completely damaged and cannot be used.

Liu De saw that the trebuchet had basically played its maximum effect, so he ordered: "The archers release their arrows, and the whole army will attack the city!" ”

The order flag waved, and more than a dozen heralds quickly passed Liu De's military orders to the generals.

The army began to storm the city...

Dian Wei, Xu Hu, Peng Yue, the three generals of the Dongyu army with the highest force value personally led the army to attack the city, Liu De had the protection of the guard battalion, and it was safe, so Dian Wei and Xu Hu were sent up, just to be able to quickly break through the city.

Gongsun Qi led 4,000 cavalry to wait on the side for a long time, although Gongsun Qi was very anxious, but he knew that it was not the time for him to attack, and when he broke through Liaoyuan City, the task of pursuing Chu Ying's army would be handed over to Gongsun Qi's department. In the siege battle, no cavalry was needed.

The Dongyu army also began to release arrows to cover the siege of the city, and the defenders of Liaoyuan were not to be outdone, and the archers fought back, and from time to time, the soldiers of both sides were shot by arrows and died on the spot!

Dian Wei held a huge shield on the ladder and took the lead in killing, Dian Wei carried the double iron halberd behind his back, held the short halberd in his hand, and the big shield was protected in front of him, and when the big shield was filled with several arrows, Dian Wei had also reached the top of the city, and several Liaoyuan soldiers held spears and stabbed Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was not afraid at all, the big shield shook hard, smashing the pikemen to the ground, the halberd kept throwing, shooting several people, and then pulled out the double halberd, the halberd danced, and the heads of the two were cut off in an instant.

......

This offensive and defensive battle lasted for a whole day, Liu De saw that the sky was getting dark, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw the troops, and the Dongyu army retreated like a tide, and a small team of soldiers waved the white flag to collect the dead Dongyu City soldiers, which was a convention on the battlefield, and generally no one would stop these soldiers. One is moral, not to make soldiers violent in the wilderness, and the other is to prevent the occurrence of plague.

After Liu De's big battle, although he did not go to the battlefield in person, the high concentration of spirit also made Liu De tired, but Liu De did not go to rest, but convened the congregation to continue the discussion.

Liu De lay on the main seat and said, "Dian Wei, you are the first to kill the head of the city, how do you feel?" ”

Although Dian Wei was the first to kill the head of the city, and even killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers in a row, because there were too many enemy troops, and the Dongyu soldiers could not immediately rush to the head of the city, Dian Wei had no choice but to retreat.

Later, he led his troops to charge and kill several times, but did not achieve the initial effect, and was repulsed several times.

The blood stains on Dian Wei's body had not yet been wiped off, and he said: "Lord, the soldiers of Liaoyuan City are not as good as the soldiers of our army, but the defense is quite intensive, but the main general of the army still has some rules." ”

Peng Yue also said: "If the enemy army has always been at this level of defense, although it is a matter of time before we capture the city, I am afraid that the losses will be even more..."

Xun Yu thought for a moment and suggested, "Lord, why don't we try to lure the enemy out?" ”

"What's the plan?"

"Continue to bombard the city with trebuchets for half a day, and then place the trebuchets in the weak spots of our defenses to see if the enemy forces sneak up on the trebuchets! If they come to sneak attack, it will be up to General Gongsun to keep them! ”

"And what if they don't go out of town?" Liu De asked.

"If you don't go out of the city, I'm afraid that the morale in the city will drop sharply, and I don't believe that the soldiers with such low morale can exert their full combat effectiveness!"

"In this way, according to what the military advisor said, General Gongsun should make a good response! Then I ordered Xu Hai to organize craftsmen to make trebuchets overnight, and the more they built, the better, and I want to smash Liaoyuan City to pieces! ”

"Yes!"

The generals shouted in unison.
