Ping'an Town, Shoujiang's Mansion

A black-armoured, embarrassed general staggered into the lobby, looking at the eldest grandson Yuting who was sitting and wiping his sword, his eyes flashed with resentment and sorrow, and he screamed miserably.

"General, the southern city is lost."

"What."

Hearing this, Changsun Yuting, who thought that the situation was under his control, was startled, and the sword he was wiping in his hand almost cut off his left palm.

However, at this time, General Changsun didn't care about these trivial matters, he threw down the sword in his hand, rushed to the front of the general in a few steps, grabbed the other party's collar, and roared with a red face.

"The Jin army in Nancheng is just a feint, how can it be lost? What about Zhou Tianwen, where did he die? ”

"Zhou Duwei has been martyred."

The general smiled sadly, staring at the top boss in front of him with a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes, and his voice became a little trembling from excitement.

"Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Jin army repeatedly stormed the southern city gate, and there were cavalry archers outside the city who burned the southern city wall with rockets.

The strength of the southern city is limited, Zhou Duwei led people to resist the Jin army to the death, and on the other hand, he sent a large number of troops to control the fire in the southern city, and finally lost to the Jin army to attack, the city gate fell, Zhou Duwei led his personal guards to fight to the death with the Jin army that entered the southern city, and died bravely...... Martyrdom. ”

In the end, the general fell to the ground, which was not only a grief for Zhou Tianwen's death, but also a way to cover up the irrepressible resentment in his eyes towards the eldest grandson Yuting at this time.

No one is a fool, this partial general of the Zhou army has been fighting with Zhou Tianwen, and he knows better than anyone who is most responsible for the fall of Nancheng and Zhou Tianwen's death.

He didn't dare to raise his head, not because he was afraid of the power of the eldest grandson Yuting, but because he was afraid that he couldn't help but draw his sword to avenge Zhou Tianwen............

…………

Sun Yuting, the chief of the complex psychology of this partial general, had no way of knowing, and all he was thinking about at this time was that the Jin army was attacking the city.

Until now, the strategic-minded General Changsun was still incredulous about the Jin army's battle plan.

"How is it possible, why didn't the Jin army use the trick of luring the enemy, but directly captured Nancheng, which is in line with the way of using troops."

The eldest grandson Yuting wanted to figure out this problem, but unfortunately, the situation in Ping'an Town was no longer waiting for anyone, and when he was stunned, the soldiers outside the door came to report.

The Jin army divided troops from the south city, along the major official roads in the city, straight to the corners of the granary, during which the city was constantly set on fire, and now nearly half of the city in Ping'an Town was filled with black smoke, and it was about to become a sea of fire.

Hearing the words of his own soldiers, Changsun Yuting finally reacted, turned around and took the sword that he had just thrown to the ground, and strode out, shouting loudly as he walked.

"The general ordered that all departments immediately intercept the rebellious Jin army in the city, suppress the fire, and defend the granary."

"Yes."

A group of heralds went to give orders, and the eldest grandson Yuting rode on his mount under the escort of his own soldiers, gathered the people and horses of the headquarters of the general's mansion, and was about to go to the granary to support, but he was stopped by someone after just a few dozen steps.

"General, the granary north warehouse was raided by the Jin army, the defenders fell after being defeated, the Jin army set fire to the grain, and the north warehouse ...... It's over........."

“………”

Hearing such bad news, Changsun Yuting felt as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and the whole person was stunned in place, with a trace of fear in his eyes.

What he feared most finally happened............

…………

As the granary guard, Changsun Yuting knew very well in his heart that even if the entire Ping'an Town was destroyed and all the defenders were killed, as long as the granary of the army was kept, then he would have no merit.

Therefore, the southern city fell, although the eldest grandson Yuting was flustered, he did not behave at a loss, the Jin army burned the city, and the eldest grandson general was able to give command orders even though he was frightened, all because he knew in his heart that things had not yet reached the worst.

Until now, hearing the fall of Beicang, the eldest grandson Yuting finally became afraid.

To know. The granary of Ping'an Town is mainly divided into three warehouses: middle, south and north, the north and south warehouses are mainly stored, and the middle warehouse manages the entry and exit of grain and grass.

In other words, in the case of not entering and exiting the grain and grass, there is no grain in the middle warehouse, so nearly ninety percent of the grain in Ping'an Town is in the north and south warehouses, and now the north warehouse is burned, which is equivalent to the loss of half of the grain and grass of the Western Zhou army.

As the chief general guarding the granary of Ping'an Town, nearly half of the army's grain was burned, which was a big crime, enough for Sun Yuting to be cut off ten times.

"No, I want to save myself."

Under the persecution of death, Eldest Sun Yuting's eyes were red, and his brain was running extremely fast: "What is stored in Beicang is the grain of hundreds of thousands of people in the army, and the amount is so large that it is by no means easy to burn in a short time.

Now taking advantage of the fire just starting, the food damage in Beicang is limited, and the rapid rescue can also recover most of the losses, as long as half of it can be saved...... No, if I keep a third of the food, the general will be able to spare my general's life for my father's sake.

Yes, that's it, go to Beicang to save food, and you can save as much as you can. ”

…………

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Yuting hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to turn around and go to Beicang to rescue, and at the same time ordered the herald to summon the nearby Zhou army and all go to Beicang to rescue.

Changsun Yuting gave this order, and the rest of the people didn't think that the general who had just reported to him that Zhou Tianwen had died in battle couldn't help it, he ran to Changsun Yuting and knelt down in front of the horse, and tried his best to persuade him.

"General, the North Warehouse has fallen, and the rescue will not help, the top priority is to defend the South Warehouse with heavy troops, and wait for reinforcements to come to help."

This made the eldest grandson Yuting a little hesitant, but after all, it was the desire to save food and save his life that prevailed, and he waved the sword in his hand and shouted at the general.

"Beicang has hundreds of millions of grain in stock, it is the blood and sweat of the subjects of the DPRK, as a guard, how can he watch it being burned by the enemy and sit idly by, Beicang will be saved, you quickly give way, don't delay time."

Where was the general willing to move, knelt on the ground and shouted: "General think twice, keep the south warehouse, even if the north warehouse is burned, our army still has a warehouse of grain and grass supply."

And the general heavy troops galloped to the north warehouse, the Jin army was treacherous, it is very likely to attack the south warehouse, if the south warehouse is lost, both warehouses are lost, and our army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers will have no food to fight again. ”

The partial general cried blood, but the eldest grandson Yuting had already made up his mind, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he asked the pro-soldiers to fork away, and took care of himself and led his troops to Beicang to rescue.

Looking at the eldest grandson Yuting and his entourage, who were gradually moving away, he lay on the ground and smiled sadly with tears: "Zhou Duwei's martyrdom preface to the loss of peace, the crime lies in the eldest grandson, in my opinion, the evaluation is indeed light, if I am defeated in this battle because of food, the whole department is the responsibility of the eldest grandson Yuting!" ”

After that, the general struggled to get up and walked along a path to the outside of the city, he was going to go to the general pass to complain to Ji Linbing, he wanted to ask for an explanation for Zhou Tianwen, for all the defenders of Ping'an Town, and for the hundreds of millions of army grain and grass in the granary.

Ping'an Town, Beicang

Yan Kui's clothes and armor and face were covered with dust, but his expression was extremely excited, he rode on the red flame horse, holding a torch in one hand and a mace in the other, and commanded his cavalry loudly.

"Burn it for me, burn it hard, don't let go of any gaps, throw fire oil and hay where you can't light it, and you must burn this granary to me."

"Report."

Just as Yan Kui was concentrating on directing the Jin army to set fire, a member of the army came to report that a large number of Zhou troops were moving quickly in the direction where they were.

"What did the other party say?"

Hearing that the Zhou army was coming to help, Yan Kui's first reaction was that the reinforcements from Luo County had arrived, and his mood was a little nervous in an instant.

"The banner is 'Eldest Sun', it was killed from the city, and it should be the defenders of Ping'an Town."

The ministry general understood Yan Kui's concerns and immediately informed him of the situation.

"The defenders of Ping'an Town? It's impossible, since you know that Beicang has fallen, why do you have to divide troops to help, could it be that this team doesn't know the news from Beicang? ”

Yan Kui was a little confused, but he still quickly pressed his doubts, no matter why the other party came, now Beicang has not completely formed a fire that cannot be extinguished, and it is reasonable to let this Zhou army get close to the rescue now.

"How many of our people are there in Beicang now?"

Yan Kui turned around and asked back, and his own soldiers stepped forward to answer: "There are about two thousand people left behind, and the rest have followed General Chang to attack Nancang." ”

"That's enough."

Yan Kui smiled faintly and threw the torch in his hand into the flames of the granary in front of him: "Just drag this Zhou army for half an hour and wait for the fire in the north warehouse, even if the gods want to extinguish the fire, then we will retreat, and they won't be able to save much food, left and right." ”

"Yes." The nearby Jin cavalry drank together.

"Send a thousand men with me to meet the enemy, and the enemy will continue to set fire here, and after about half an hour, he will retreat south at the sound of the trumpet."

"Yes."

The horse's hooves rumbled, and without much effort, Yan Kui took a thousand cavalry Pegasus to kill the eldest grandson Yuting who had always come to help.

……………

When his own army arrived, the Jin army not only fled without hearing the news, but came to meet it with a weak force, which greatly surprised the expectations of Changsun Yuting.

But soon, General Changsun understood why this cavalry of the Jin army, which was no more than a thousand, dared to have the confidence to attack the Zhou army, which was several times their strength.

This is a group of elites who are by no means weaker than the white feather flying cavalry under the command of King Li, and even the eldest grandson Yuting feels that the combat strength of the Jin army in front of him is slightly superior.

Especially the main general on the other side with a mace, he is simply an animal, and under the flying mace, there are countless souls.

I didn't expect the Jin army's combat power to be so high, so that the Zhou army, which was not prepared for this, was firmly controlled by the Jin army with a small number of troops at the beginning of the short battle between the two sides, from the eldest Sun Yuting to the ordinary soldiers, who were killed by the Jin army and retreated.

If it weren't for the superiority of the Zhou army's strength and the fact that the Jin cavalry could not launch the maximum cavalry charge effect in the city, I am afraid that the battle would have been divided.

Of course, although the Jin army is fierce, its strength is indeed scarce, and at the same time, it lacks combat strength for a long time, and its physical strength is not as good as these defenders of Ping'an Town, who have just participated in the frontal battle.

As a result, after the initial three-plate axe of the Jin army, the Zhou army bottomed out under the command of Changsun Yuting, gradually stabilized the situation, and began to counterattack, using the terrain and troop advantages to encircle and suppress the Jin army.

The tide of the battle began to turn around............
