Now in the past few days, not only the officers and soldiers of the Jing'an Army have a deeper understanding of Mingxiong, but also Qu Bo, Wan Jinhai, Xia Houen and other soldiers have a lot of respect for Mingxiong.

"General Hou, it is most important to organize people to repair the city wall as soon as possible, as for the soldiers of each department who need to be reorganized again, it will be troublesome for the generals to bother." After Mingxiong finished saying goodbye to Hou Ying, except for leaving some of the dead and wounded people on the city wall with his master to clean up the city wall and return to Hou Ying's command, he quickly gathered the soldiers of each department to seize the time to rest and marshall. So far, the Jing'an Army and the soldiers of Wan, Qu, Xiahou, and Qin have all suffered losses to varying degrees, especially today, the largest number of soldiers have been killed and wounded, and many hundred-household teams have been completely disabled and have to be merged and reorganized.

As for Qin Zhanshan's department, after being attacked by Li Zhenxiong, in addition to those who were captured, about 500 soldiers were finally collected, while Liu Qi's department had more than 400 people collected and were successively supplemented to other departments as supplementary soldiers. Fortunately, most of these soldiers are newly attached soldiers, and their sense of belonging to the main general is not strong, anyway, they are fighting against the Yuan army everywhere, so they have nothing to say. And those who can take the initiative to defect to the Jing'an army in the middle of the night are people who are dissatisfied with the Yuan court, and their fighting spirit can be used.

"How are you injured, can you still fight?" Mingxiong asked as he walked past a red-faced man.

The man was originally examining the effect of the wound on his shoulder, and was trying to move his arm, when he saw Mingxiong inquiring, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "You don't need to worry about adults, it's just a small injury." This person is Liu Qi's subordinate deputy Baihu Guqing, that night he and his companions suddenly attacked, rescued some of the captured Qin soldiers, and some of the soldiers who were unwilling to surrender to the Yuan court escaped from the Liu camp, and finally passed through the place where the two armies were fighting, and threw themselves under the banner of the Jing'an army.

In the past few days, he has been fighting continuously in the city, not only personally won a lot, but also encouraged his subordinates to effectively cooperate with the Yuan army to fight, and the casualties of his subordinates were significantly less, and his achievements fell in the eyes of Ji Xiancheng and Mingxiong, and he had several heart-to-heart talks with him during the interval of the battle.

Mingxiong looked around while walking, looking at the state of the soldiers around him, Lao Jing and the others happened to be near Guqing, and when they saw Mingxiong coming, they immediately stood solemnly, and ordered a few soldiers around him, quickly tidy up their clothes and armor, and saluted Mingxiong successively.

Lao Jing is the shopkeeper of the line, on personal martial arts in the Shuntian army of the hundred households is the first, and has a certain ability to organize and coordinate, in the city head of the offensive and defensive war is in danger, Lao Jing with his subordinates will be like a wolf like a tiger Yuan army several times driven down the city.

"Can you still fight?" Mingxiong made some fun of him. Both of them have lived in the county for many years, one is a hundred households in the Han army, and the other is a shopkeeper.

"If you have two pots of soju and two catties of beef in your belly, you can fight again!"

Mingxiong laughed, punched Lao Jing in the shoulder, and said briskly: "At this time, the war is in full swing, and it is not appropriate to drink alcohol in the army. ”

Lao Jing said with a smile: "A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse!" Turning his head, he saw Gu Qing still standing aside, and said again: "Today's bloody battle, Brother Gu has made great efforts, if it weren't for Brother Gu's rescue several times, Lao Mou might have confessed here!" ”

"Hey, Brother Lao laughed! Without Brother Lao's help, I would have died early in the morning! "The two of them are in charge of adjacent lots, and they have supported each other to persist to this day.

"Today, there is an enemy general with very thick armor and skilled martial arts, and he injured several of my brothers on the ladder. Otherwise, this section of the subordinate city wall may be broken by the enemy. ”

"Oh, that's the case, after this war, Gu Baihu will go together, and Ming will sweep the floor in the cold house to greet him!" The three of them said a few more words, Mingxiong inspected back and forth in the city, looked at the movement of the Yuan army camp in the distance, and saw that it was noon, and the smoke curled in the Yuan army camp. The casualties of the other side are particularly heavy today, and it is estimated that it is unlikely that there will be another battle in the afternoon.

The Yidu army used the camp of the Shuntian army in the north of the city to repair and build new camps, and the Yuan army camp completely blocked the north of the city. He also ordered a Yuan army to seize Qubo's camp, repair and consolidate it, and then completely blockade the south of the city. In this way, the roads between Linqu County and the outside of the city were completely blocked by the Yuan army. Li Zhenxiong's troops used the remnants of the Jing'an army to garrison them.

From time to time, reinforcements from various counties outside the Yuan army camp arrived and stationed; A large number of auxiliaries and servants were busy inside and outside the camp, unloading and stacking the grain and grass they had to transport, the wounded and sick had to be rescued, the camps had to be repaired, and the personal captures of the generals had to be taken to their respective hometowns one by one.

When he returned to the camp, he also ordered the troops to go and eat by themselves. Today's war failed to achieve a breakthrough, and he was a little unhappy at first, pacing back and forth in the tent alone.

Seeing that the main general's face was not happy, Li Zhenxiong, Yin Wanhu, Mr. Jiang and others did not dare to leave, everyone stood on both sides, and no one wanted to speak out. After Liu Qi officially voted for the Yuan, the existing remnants are less than five hundred, although Yidu Road promoted him as the deputy governor because of his merits, and gave him five hundred acres of land, but Liu Qi has no foundation in Yidu Road, so he consciously stood at the end of the column after entering the account, lowered his eyebrows, and did not say a word.

"Is there any news from the Juzhou camp?" He also frowned and asked. Since the battle between the two armies the day before yesterday and all the Shuntian troops were driven to the city, they also sent people to Pegasus to the south to go to the camp in Juzhou to inquire whether there was any news of the Jing'an army going south, and by the way, they also reported the situation of the battle in Linqu. If the Messenger has a good journey, there should be news of him today.

An adjutant general hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Back to my lord, there is no news so far." The little one sent a horse yesterday and today. There is a horse exploration report, found that Linqu to the south of about fifty miles, there have been traces of a large number of people and horses passing, and then went into the mountain, has sent a horse to follow the thief's trail trail, I believe that there will be news in the near future. ”

This news is not new, and yesterday a horse probe reported these discoveries. It seems that they also know that the road to the south is tightly blocked by the officials and soldiers, and it is difficult to pass, so they went into the mountain, but they don't know how to move. It's just that today, neither the scouts who tracked them down nor the soldiers who went south to the Juzhou battalion have turned back.

No news is bad news.

Although Yidu had already informed the Juzhou camp, and the Juzhou camp also had several messengers coming over from different roads every day to report the situation, Linqu had not delayed so far, and he was not sure in his heart at first!

He was also worried in his heart, and suddenly heard a faint shouting and scolding outside the tent, and he became even more irritable, and blurted out: "Who is making noise outside?" ”

A personal guard immediately went out of the account to inquire, and after a while, he came in and announced: "My lord, it is not our soldiers, but the thief leader Qin Zhanshan is imprisoned in the back tent, and when he saw our army returning to the camp, he laughed loudly!" ”

was also slightly stunned, these days have been attacking the city continuously, and he has put almost all his energy on the siege, as for this Qin Zhanshan who was captured by Liu Qizhen at the beginning, he has been imprisoned because he refused to surrender, and he wanted to be sent to Yidu City to declare his military exploits after breaking the city.

Liu Qi listened to this, his body didn't dare to move slightly, and his head hung lower. He repeatedly persuaded Qin Zhanshan to no avail, and he was scolded and returned, which was already unhappy. Today, Liu Qi led his troops to attack the city not only in vain, but under the angry scolding of the soldiers of the Shuntian army at the head of the city, his subordinates lost their fighting spirit in shame and were soon driven off the city. Although he didn't punish him first, he didn't have a good face.

"Isn't this thief repentant?" also word by word. Jiang Bin also came forward to solicit it, but to no avail.

"Although this thief is greedy for money, he is stubborn and resists the king. It is estimated that it was only today that we saw our army's results in battle that we made a disrespectful speech. Mr. Jiang saw that the faces of the people in front of the account were embarrassed, so he replied. After all, he has a high status in Yidu Road, except for Yexian, only he has a side seat, and the rest of the generals are standing on both sides.

"Order all the departments to rest after dinner, and after two hours, attack the city overnight! Push this stubborn thief to the front of the battle, behead the public, and sacrifice the flag! "Don't hesitate for the first time, and give orders continuously.

Everyone in the tent was shocked, today since the morning has been attacking the city continuously, it has been two hours, the damage of each department is not small, and the physical strength and energy have been exhausted, even if they rest after eating, the fighting spirit of the army is no longer full, especially seeing the many bloody wounded soldiers snatched back by the various departments, not only the soldiers are a little depressed, but also many hundreds and thousands of households are also cold. Now everyone just wants to rest in the camp, lick the wounds on their bodies, and talk about something tomorrow.

Tian Hui had a pain in his waist at this time, this was when he climbed the long ladder near the city, he was blocked by the Shuntian soldiers, and finally stabbed at the same time with several spears, and had to jump down from the city with a scream when he could not avoid it, because he was covered with leather armor and heavy armor, although the spear head was sharp, it only stopped through the outer armor, but he fell from a height, and his body fell on the corpse under the city, and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood on the spot. Fortunately, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately twisted his body and took advantage of the situation to roll a little, otherwise the internal injury would be even worse.

Since participating in the battle of Linqu, Tian Hui wanted to overpower Meng Qing in the limelight, these days Tian Hui encouraged his subordinates in many ways, morale was greatly boosted, he also killed several people in the city, but the soldiers of the Shuntian army were very desperate, and finally drove the righteous army that had rushed to the city several times with the geographical advantage.

Tian Hui didn't know that the person who used a gun to penetrate his armor was Gu Qing.

"The army has just finished fighting, and the soldiers are tired, why don't the generals reorganize the army and fight again tomorrow? Besides, the Qin thief was originally going to Yidu to sacrifice prisoners, and the Ming canonical punishment was to show the prestige of the imperial court. Mr. Jiang asked slowly.

Ye Xian sneered: "I am tired of the enemy, if I don't take advantage of the situation to attack the city, the thief army will repair most of the city wall after one night, and then it will cost more soldiers' lives." As for the Qin thief, it is just a grass bandit ear, I regard it as a soil dog, and the two armies will cut it in front of the formation, and it will lift the hearts of our army! Looking at the faces of the generals on the left and right, he also laughed and said: "The city is just a thief with ears, which can be destroyed overnight, and you are also battle-hardened generals, how can you be the shrunken general today?" ”

also spoke aggressively, and some people under the tent immediately couldn't stand it, and then a member of the Han general came out of the column proudly, and asked Zhan to say: "A certain person has followed the adult for a long time, and I don't know how many times I have broken through the sword mountain and the sea of fire!" Today, the thieves are trapped in the lonely city, but the trapped beasts are still fighting, barking when they are dying. Although a certain person is not talented, he is willing to lead an army and go to the city first! ”

Everyone looked at it, it was Dong Biao, a thousand households of the Han Army on Yidu Road. He is also a fierce general in the first account, and then he is also in Linqu in World War II, because it is the righteous army gnawing bones in the past two days, so his department is still complete, and he also spoke in public first, Dong Biao couldn't help but come out of the ranks.

"Kill chickens with a knife, and our department is also willing to be the forerunner!" This person is Meng Jiaqi, the fourth son of Meng Qing, who is at the bottom right of Meng Qing, and when he saw Dong Biao coming out to ask for battle, he also responded. The Meng rebels have suffered great losses under the Shuntian army, and Meng Jiashan was killed by Yu Zhilong, and the shame has been churning in Meng Jiaqi's heart.

These two people first went out to ask for battle, and the other generals naturally couldn't be silent anymore, and they also came out to ask for battle. also turned his anger into joy first, and laughed: "If you are united, why worry that the thief army will not be destroyed?" Everyone, go back to the headquarters, wait for a rest after eating, and wait for the military order! ”

After the generals gave the salute, they went out of the tent, leaving only Mr. Jiang Bin sitting quietly on the side.
