A few days later, an army of 30,000 men, led by General Zhongliang, set out from the military camp in Xiping County and went to Yinping Pass to deliver it to General Fu Wei, and then rushed to Xiping County to fight King Liang.

Paying close attention to King Liang's behavior was arranged by Zhang Taibai, so the 30,000 troops were noticed by the scouts sent by Zhang Taibai less than two days after they set off, and immediately sent a messenger Pegasus to Qingzhou.

After receiving the letter, Zhang Taibai immediately found Lixian Liang to discuss the matter of raising troops.

"Big deal, King Liang has moved his troops, 30,000 soldiers and horses are rushing to Yinping Pass, I speculate that as soon as these 30,000 soldiers and horses arrive, King Liang will personally lead his troops to attack and merge with the state." Zhang Taibai guessed.

"With the identity and prestige of King Liang, it is also the desire of the people to directly enter Gyeonggi Province to attack Lai'an City, why do you need to do more?" Li Xianliang asked.

"You think he doesn't want to? Not only does he want to, I want to! Who in the world doesn't want to sit in that position. Not to mention that the city wall of Lai'an is high and the city is thick and difficult to attack, after all, there is an emperor in Lai'an City, although the people have a difficult life, but it is also a peaceful life, if it is directly attacked in Lai'an City, it will inevitably be attacked by a group, it is better to slowly figure it. Zhang Taibai explained.

"Earlier you said that we will move as soon as Liangzhou moves, but now that Liangzhou has moved, what should we do?" Li Xianliang then asked.

"Wen Qian sent money and food to various ministries to buy weapons, equipment and equipment, has the matter been done?"

"It's all ready, but the siege equipment can only be built by yourself, the weapons and armor have been distributed to them, and we only have siege ladders at present, which are still built in secret." Li Xianliang said helplessly.

"That's enough, do you know why I chose these three cities?" Zhang Taibai asked with a smile.

"Because they're easy to attack?" Li Xianliang said uncertainly.

"This is just one aspect, why was Emperor Taizu able to dominate the world, Beihai, Qi County, Donglai County, three counties, can be each other's corners, and it can also let us have no worries, there is a Lancang River in the north, if you want to go south, you can only take Gyeonggi Road, the east is the East China Sea, we need to guard against only Yangzhou in the south and Jizhou in the west." Zhang Taibai continued,

"I have carefully explored these three cities, although they are county seats, but they are not military counties, the business is prosperous, there are not many garrisons in the city, it is easy to attack, and these three counties are the most remote in the North Sea, and they are far away from Donglai of Qi County, and they will definitely be able to go under strong attack."

"Okay, the North Sea is captured by me, and I will take the lead, how about it?" Li Xianliang rubbed his hands, "It's suffocated these days, training recruits all day long, or building siege ladders." ”

"I still have a selfish heart, this first battle, I want my lord and I to personally lead the troops there." Zhang Taibai said.

"It's good to let those people below know who the real lord is." Li Xianliang nodded.

"You see that, too?"

"Well, my brothers have high hearts, otherwise they wouldn't be called thieves." Li Xianliang said.

"When the lord attacks Beihai, the enemy army will inevitably let Qi County and Donglai County send troops to rescue, your soldiers are divided into two roads, one way to wait for Qi County, Donglai sent troops for half a day, immediately capture these two counties, and the other way, guard the road that must be passed, and wait for the night when they set up air defense to attack the camp at night, and annihilate and rescue the enemy army in one fell swoop." Zhang Taibai gave orders.

"Good!" Lixian Liang received the order and left.

After Zhang Taibai left Xianliang, he went to see Meng Liu alone, and when he opened the door, he saw Meng Liu reading the book of soldiers.

"Liangzhou has already mobilized troops, and we are also leaving." Meng Liu said.

"When are you leaving?"

"Three days later, lead 20,000 troops, I will go with you!"

"Good!"

"This battle is the first battle of our army, and this battle must be won, and it must be won beautifully!" Zhang Taibai said, "Our banner has been ready, Brother Zhuang estimates that he will return in the next two days, and the person who carries the banner is Brother Zhuang, Zhuang Ran." ”

"Brother Zhuang is also coming?" Meng Liu said happily.

"Yes, ten days ago, I sent a message to him, and three days later I sent troops to Beihai." Zhang Taibai said and left the room.

Three days later, Meng Liu rode first, Zhang Taibai on the left, Zhuang Ran on the right, and the team of 20,000 people behind him were basically foot soldiers.

Two days later, they arrived at Beihai City.

"Stop! Who are you? Dare to come to the North Sea! The commander of the city stood above the city and shouted.

"I am Zhang Taibai, the great heavenly master of the Taiping Sect, the world is suffering, the immortals gave me immortal arts, let me go down the mountain to do morality to save the people! Let Beihai Taishou Niu Wen open the door and beg to surrender, don't go against the way of heaven! Zhang Taibai said on horseback.

"Taiping? Haven't heard of it! Get out of here, or ... Before the man could finish speaking, a sharp arrow pierced his head.

Meng Liu turned his head and saw Zhuang Ran holding a bow, and the arrow had been nailed to the city.

Everyone panicked in their hearts, and someone hurried to report to Taishou.

At this time, the Beihai Taishou was indulging in lust in the mansion.

"My lord! My lord! Big things are not good! Big things are not good! The Taiping army led troops to the city! They also said ... And also said ... The general defending the city said in a hurry.

"What else?" Niu Wen stood up and asked.

"He also said that the adults should open the city and beg for surrender." The general said tremblingly.

"Lie to me too much! How many enemy troops came? Niu Wen asked angrily.

"Looks like it's about 20,000." The general replied.

"It's only 20,000 people, what are you afraid of! Defend the city for me! Niu Wen shouted.

"Yes!"

Niu Wen hurriedly got dressed and went to the hall, and all the generals in the city were arguing in the hall, and stopped the noise after seeing Taishou Niu Wen.

"Who can defeat me from the enemy?" Niu Wen yawned and sat on the desk.

"The last will go!" A man underground stood still and said.

Niu Wending looked at it, and the man's name was Ma Cang.

"Okay, then you will lead the troops into battle." Niu Wen said with a smile.

Outside the city, there were endless shouts and scolding, and Meng Liu held the green dragon halberd in his hand and shouted: "Who dares to fight with me!" A group of shrunken turtles! ”

At that moment the gates of the city opened, and a rush rushed out of the city.

"Who is coming? Why don't you get off your horse and be bound, surrender to our army, and spare your life! Meng Liu said with a smile.

"You and other rebellious ministers and thieves are also worthy!" Ma Cang shouted angrily, and then slapped his horse and rushed towards Meng Liu with a big axe, and Meng Liu immediately slapped his horse and rushed over.

The two immediately fought together, Meng Liu took the lead in attacking, a halberd poked at Ma Cang's heart, Ma Cang picked up the halberd with a plate axe, Meng Liu missed a blow and slashed the halberd in a circle, Ma Cang stood up and blocked it, and then lifted the plate axe and split it down, Meng Liu hurriedly raised the halberd above his head to resist this plate axe.

The two opened the posture and fought together again, Meng Liu deliberately sold a flaw, put his left shoulder to the horse cang, the horse cang really hit the plan, wielding the plate axe to split, Meng Liu held the halberd end, blocked the plate axe with the halberd handle, and the horse passed, the halberd end crossed the neck of the horse cang, blood flowed, Meng Liu took advantage of the situation to turn the long halberd and kill the horse cang!

The defenders of the city immediately closed the gates and hung up the battle free signs.

"Report, General Ma Cang fought with the enemy general, and was beheaded by the enemy general!" The guard said to Niu Wen.

"This... Defend the city! I'm going to ask Qi Jun and Donglai for help! As soon as Niu Wen heard that his warrior Shihe had been beheaded, he immediately panicked and hurriedly asked for help.

"Yes!" The guards left the hall.

"How many defenders are there in the city?" Niu Wen asked.

"There are 30,000 defenders, but the enemy's morale is high, if they attack the city strongly, I am afraid that they will not be able to defend it for long." The next general said.

"My lord, I'm willing to go and kill the general!" Ma Hao stood up, "I want to avenge my brother!" ”

"This..." Niu Wen muttered in his heart, your brother has been beheaded, you go?

"My lord, please let me avenge my brother!" Ma Hao knelt down and said.

"Okay, then let you meet the enemy!" Niu Wen said.

"Open the city and beg to surrender, spare you from dying, otherwise I will take the city and kill everyone except the people!" Meng Liu's confidence increased greatly after he beheaded the horse warehouse.

"The enemy will be killed! Give my brother back! Then another general rushed out of the gate, armed with a long sword.

"Look for death!" Meng Liu held the halberd and slapped the horse to kill the past, Ma Hao slashed over with a horizontal knife, Meng Liu's side halberd blocked the knife, but he was numb by the shock.

"Not good!" Zhuang Ran said worriedly. Zhang Taibai also sweated for him at this time.

Meng Liu blocked this knife and then also raised his halberd to chop, Ma Hao blocked it with a horizontal knife, Meng Liu turned around with the power of bouncing back, and overturned Ma Hao from the bottom to the top, Meng Liu took advantage of the moment when Ma Hao was overturned and dismounted, and a halberd poked Ma Hao's heart.

Meng Liu killed the Ma brothers in the first battle, which was terrifying!
