On May 20 of the third year of Liang Datong (the second year of Wei Yongan), in the evening, a horse flew from the east, and immediately the knight stumbled into the southern military camp with an arrow. Not long after, an envoy from Yuan Hao hurriedly rushed into the white-robed military camp, saying that the situation was urgent and asked Chen Qingzhi to go to discuss.

In the middle of the night, when Chen Qingzhi came back, his brows were furrowed, and his face was as heavy as iron. Only then did everyone know that Yuan Tianmu had urged Fei Mu to speed up the march, and had arrived at the border of Henan a few days ago. Hundreds of thousands of Wei troops did not stop, leaving Suiyang in the southeast and running straight to the beam.

In the first battle of Daliang, Yuan Tianmu did not hesitate to be injured, and the onslaught continued, and finally broke the city in two days and captured and beheaded Yuan Hao's general Hou Xuan.

The white-robed soldiers in the camp all looked at each other and were shocked: "Yuan Tianmu came so fast, killing Hou Xuan and taking the beam... In this way, has we cut off the rear road of our army? ”

"What's more?" Pei Guo snorted coldly: "Looking at the speed of its advance, it is clear that it is to take advantage of the fact that our army is blocked under Xingyang City to attack from both sides." Based on this, presumably the Yuan Tianmu Department, hmph, is already on the way to Xingyang. ”

Everyone was shocked again, and when they went to see Chen Qing together, they saw Chen Qingzhi nodding heavily, and said in a deep voice: "At most three days, if Xingyang is not captured, then our army will be attacked from the front and back, and there will be no place to die." ”

There was a sudden silence in the field, and the needle drop could be heard. In the end, they are all warriors of a hundred battles, and the white-robed army heard this "bad news" from top to bottom, although they were not shocked, and no one sighed or shouted, but they just had their own thoughts and pondered silently.

After a while, Pei Guo opened his mouth and asked, "What did Yuan Hao say there?" ”

Chen Qingzhi replied: "Early tomorrow morning, Yuan Hao will send an envoy to Xingyang City to try to bring Yang Yu down." It is the best of nature, if it does not work, it will continue to attack, day and night. ”

"Isn't Yuan Hao a fool talking about a dream?" Yang Zhong sneered: "At this time, Yang Yu's situation is very good, is he willing to surrender?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Chen Qingzhi said lightly: "I just need Yuan Hao's sentence 'Attack without stopping, day and night'." He had to send an envoy into the city, and I had no intention of stopping it. ”

Pei Guo asked again: "Then what are my plans for the white-robed army?" ”

"Tomorrow we will recall all the brothers who are scattered everywhere, and they will all go into the camp to rest and recuperate."

"Our army will not go to war tomorrow?"

"No fight!" Chen Qingzhi's gaze was leisurely, looking at the direction of Xingyang City: "Tomorrow, all the troops of Yuan Hao will fight to the death, from morning to night, all the time. Although it is not expected to be able to compete, no matter how bad it is, it can exhaust the Xingyang defenders and consume their ordnance. ”

Yu Tianshu jumped out on the side, and said angrily: "All the way here, Yuan Hao has always only hid behind to pick up cheap, hehe, he is willing to fight to the death at this time." ”

"Where is the cheap one to pick him up now?" Yang Zhong sneered: "He Yuanhao is not a fool, life and death are at stake right now, and if he doesn't fight to the death, he has to die in battle." ”

Pei Guo's voice rose again: "So my white-robed army will rest for a whole day tomorrow, then... ”

Chen Qingzhi's eyes flashed with a fine light, and his voice was like a bell: "Then early the day after tomorrow, my whole army will pull out the camp and fight to the death." If you can't take off Xingyang, then... ”

Pei Guo's eyes were blazing: "So what?" ”

Chen Qingzhi smiled suddenly, shook his head and said, "There is no 'what'." ”

"Don't think about it?" Pei Guo's words were exactly what the big guy wanted to ask. In this situation, Yuan Hao, a cadre of the northerners, naturally has no way to retreat, but the white-robed army belongs to the Southern Dynasty, so there is no need to die here, and it is a big deal to make a detour to the south early, and he can always escape back with his life.

"Don't think about it!" Chen Qingzhi said categorically: "I responded to Your Majesty in Jiankang and wanted to send Yuan Hao north to Luoyang." If you can enter Luo, then it is okay to leave or stay after that. If I can't enter Luo, then my white-robed army of 7,000 robes will have to go hand in hand under this Xingyang City, and it will be regarded as living up to Your Majesty and Daliang! ”

There was silence in the field again.

After a long time, I heard Yu Tian's urn voice again: "Seven thousand robes go to the trouble hand in hand, haha, it's fun to listen to!" I didn't say it, my old fish all listened to the envoy! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a bang in the field, and the big guys all hugged their arms and laughed: "Happy!" Joyfully! ”

Chen Qingzhi's eyes were slightly moist, and he couldn't help but sigh: "How can it be said that I am a generous and heroic person in the south?" Today I have to see you like this, in the heart of celebration... Happy, happy! ”

Only Pei Guo and Yang Zhong were a little silent.

Yang Zhong was quite unimpressed, after all, in his heart, he had always regarded himself as a northerner, so it was naturally difficult to resonate. Pei Guo turned his face and sighed secretly: Just for the face of Xiao Yan Lao'er in Jiankang City, he will ask for these seven thousand lives as a sacrifice... Happy? Heartbreaking?

。。。。。。

On May 21, Renshen Day, the sky was just dawning, Zu Ying rode out of the camp alone, held the scepter high, and had to go to Xingyang City. The head of the city put down the hanging basket and pulled it up to the city, and Zu Ying was able to enter the city and go to the military palace to meet Yang Yu.

It was about a few words, Zu Ying's face was red, and she came out, and only half of the scepter in her hand was left. Needless to say, his persuasion to surrender was in vain.

The sun rises in the east, and the dragon flag of the Nine Hundred and Seven Hundred of Yuan Hao is erected under the city of Xingyang, and the word "Wei" is written on it. Looking at the head of Xingyang City from afar, there is also a banner with the word "Wei" in the background, waving in the wind.

The drums and horns sounded, and under the city, the soldiers of the Wei army rushed to Xingyang City like a tide. Trenches, ladders, crashing wood, wheels... And so on.

On the city, the Wei army soldiers who were also standing under pressure were waiting for battle. Rolling logs, stones, arrows, crossbows, forks, gold juice... It's full.

Flying stones are like locusts, arrows are like rain, up and down Xingyang City, countless Wei soldiers and Wei soldiers are fighting in one place. The smoke and dust are billowing and covering the eyes, and the killing shouts rumble to the sky...
