It is located at the corner of the confluence of Weishui and Huanghe rivers, and here in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a small princely state named Qiuguo. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, the two younger brothers of King Wen of Zhou were respectively named the monarchs of the East and West Kingdoms, and Yu Zhong was named the East and the West of Xingyang.

Thousands of years have passed, and the Tucheng has long been renovated, changed the address, and rebuilt the Yucheng City, which is a military important place in Fufeng County.

After dawn, the three generals Tuoba Rui, Sima Qiu, and Shen Lu took the 6,000 men and horses counted by Hou Junji, dressed in the robes of the Tang army, pretending to be embarrassed, and fled towards the bank of the Huang River.

There are spare boats and rafts along the river, ropes across the river, etc., to cross the river quickly.

Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the patrol battalion on the opposite bank immediately interrogated them in a loud voice.

"I am Tuoba Rui, the deputy general of Chen Cang's defense of the city, as well as Sima Qiu and Shen Lu's generals, Chen Cang City was attacked and broken by a sneak attack, and we waited for a hard battle to fail, and it was difficult to save, so I could only abandon the city and flee, and I wanted to cross the river."

The soldiers on the other side of the river obviously have not received the news that Chen Cang broke overnight, because the river bank has long been blocked by Hou Junji, and an ambush has been set up outside the city to the river bank, and the people who secretly escaped at night have been ambushed, and the news is still kept secret for the time being.

"It's really General Tuoba!" Some lieutenants had seen these generals, so when the ship approached, they could see each other's figures and faces.

"The three generals have withdrawn their troops and come back, they can't be wrong, they will be released immediately, and they will be escorted to the shore by Chen Cang's soldiers."

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from the back of the riverbank, and there was the sound of shouting and killing, Hou Junji led the troops to cover the killing, gathered on the riverbank, and even put a round of arrows, but the distance was far away, and most of them shot into the river, but they did enough.

When Tuoba Rui landed on the shore, he shouted to the captain of the defenders on the riverbank: "I will immediately lead the troops into the city, first, to tell General Zhou Qing to strengthen the defense, and secondly, the soldiers of our army will fight all night, exhausted, very hungry, and we will enter the city to bandage the wounds and replenish our strength." ”

Listening to what General Tuoba said was reasonable, there was no doubt that he had him, nodded in agreement, and ordered to let him go.

Sima Qiu and Shen Lu glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and showed a sense of relief on their faces.

Yucheng, made of bluestones, simple and heavy, on the city tower, Zhou Qing took the generals to look down on the people and horses below.

"General Zhou, it's us!"

Zhou Qing and Tuoba Rui, Sima Qiu, Shen Lu and others have met twice, after all, they are only separated by a river, and after taking office, the generals of the two cities have seen each other.

"Open the gates!"

If a general came to surrender, he would be questioned, and all of a sudden the three lieutenants all gathered and fled back, and their suspicions were greatly reduced, but they didn't expect that the three would defect at the same time.

Tuoba Rui, Sima Qiu, and Shen Lu entered the city, and the soldiers and horses were also brought into the city by the way, and placed in a school field in the city gate, and then asked for some rice and meat, and began to cook and replenish their physical strength.

"What about General Meng?"

"Hey, General Meng was shot by a cold arrow when he broke through, fell off his horse, and was trampled to death by the rebels. Sima Qiu said with a fake sadness.

Zhou Qing knew that Meng Chao was the son-in-law of the Li family, and he was somewhat involved in the emperor's relatives, but now that he was killed in battle, the deputy generals had escaped, and he was afraid that he would not escape the punishment of the military order if he went back.

"The three of you, just afraid of meeting the prince, your face is also gloomy, the commander is dead, and the city is lost, according to military law, this crime is not small."

Tuoba Rui sighed: "Yes, so we don't have the face to reply to the imperial court, we just want to stay in Yucheng, assist General Zhou to defend Yucheng, and make meritorious contributions!" ”

Shen Lu took the opportunity to say: "General Zhou, it's not that we are incompetent, but that the Dahua army is strong and strong, and it is really difficult to prevent it, we are not well prepared, and we have made an attack and a fierce bombardment, but we have also suffered losses, and we have more or less experience, so we can assist General Zhou and hold this city." ”

Zhou Qing had a solemn look on his face, hearing that the three of them emphasized the strength of the Dahua Army so much, he also had no bottom in his heart, those opponents who were enemies of Dahua were all wiped out, and now it was his turn to block the Northwest Dahua Army alone, so he was naturally a little worried.

He scared the three of them just now, but in fact, he also had this purpose, to subdue himself, let them work for themselves, obey him, and help him defend the city.

Zhou Qing nodded and said: "Okay, at present, our fates are closely related, so we won't talk about foreign words, only by hating the same enemy can we have a chance of winning." Wait here to rest, and soon you will have to fight the Great Chinese Army again. ”

The three generals responded at the same time, and they were all relieved in their hearts, and finally passed the test in a daze.

On the other side of the river, Hou Junji launched a battle to cross the river, but there were thousands of Tang troops on the opposite bank to defend, and with the help of geographical advantages, he blocked several beach attacks.

As night fell, after landing from Wuzhangyuan, Laihu'er led his troops to the rear of Yucheng.

After sending a signal outside the city, Tuoba Rui and others led their troops to launch a sneak attack, and each soldier wrapped a white scarf around his left arm and killed at the gate of Yucheng.

"Kill—"

In the wind and the night was dark, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the Tang army guards did not expect that someone in the city suddenly defected and attacked their city gate.

Puff puff!

The sword light fell, the head rolled, this group of elite Dahua soldiers were brave and powerful.

"City Gate!"

This batch of Dahua elites all flocked to the West City Gate, concentrating their forces and sharpening their edges.

Dangdangdang –

Weapons clashed, fighting and shaking the sky, groups of charges, groups of falls, but the elite people are like tigers and wolves, still bravely moving forward, several levels were torn apart, and the west gate was opened.

"Rush!"

The army led by the guards outside the city took the opportunity to attack the city gate, like a river bursting its banks, and it was out of control.

Zhou Qing heard the sound of fighting, walked out of the White Tiger Hall of the Festival Marshal in the city, heard the sound of fighting at the city gate, his face changed greatly, when a scout rushed over to tell him, Tuoba and others defected, the city gate had been lost, and the news that the Dahua army had entered the city, trembling all over, and sitting on the ground.

"Tuoba, Sima and others turned against the water, harmed General Ben, and the city is finished!" Zhou Qing howled and shouted, sad and sad.
