Late February.

An urgent message was sent to Luo Cheng in Linyi.

Fu Gonghu suffered a great defeat in Jiangnan, and Du Fuwei crossed the river and left him to guard the four counties in Jiangnan. Because Du took away most of the soldiers and horses, the remaining troops of Fu Gongqi were not strong.

But there are Shen Faxing in the east, Zuo Caixiang and Lin Shihong in the west, and then there is a Li Zitong who flowed from Jiangbei to Jiangnan. The four groups of men and horses almost besieged Fu Gong Qi together.

Bad news after another.

Lin Shihong captured Xuancheng County, Zuo Caixiang invaded Danyang County, Lin Shihong captured Xuancheng County, while Shen Faxing attacked Wu County, and Li Zitong entered Biling.

The four counties in the south of the Yangtze River suffered a chain reaction defeat, and in the end, only one Danyang was still defended.

But at this time, Du Fuwei also suffered a big defeat in Jiangdu.

Previously, Du Fuwei had already besieged Jiangdu, and Chen Ling retreated into the city.

Du Fuwei stormed, and he held on.

Du Fuwei surrendered, and he hesitated.

And so it was a stalemate.

Jiangnan Fugong Yi was defeated, and at this time, there was news that Peng Cheng came to protect his son and died, and Li Yuan returned to the west.

Du Fuwei personally led more than 10,000 elite soldiers back to Jiangnan, but he had just evacuated from the Jiangdu City. That night, Chen Ling launched a night attack, led the death squad as the vanguard, and went out of the city to enter the camp of soldiers and horses left by Du Fuwei outside the Jiangdu.

At that time, the generals Du Fuwei, Kan Leng, Wang Junkuo, and Ximen Junyi had all led the main elite to leave, and the remaining generals did not expect that Chen Ling, who they called Chen Ma, would dare to come out to attack the camp, so they were defeated.

Chen Ling defeated the soldiers under the Jiangdu city, killed thousands of enemies, captured more than 20,000 people, and the 30,000 horses left behind by Du Fuwei were almost wiped out.

After relieving the siege of Jiangdu, Chen Ling took the opportunity to lead the army to pursue Du Fuwei again.

But he was very cunning, leading the soldiers and horses to hang behind, Du Fuwei wanted to fight, he retreated, Du Fuwei wanted to go, he followed, and at night he attacked again, and when he had the opportunity, he had to come up and bite a few bites, which made Du Fuwei very annoying.

As a result of this delay, Fu Gonghu lost Jiangning City.

Fu Gongqi led thousands of remnants of the army to wait for reinforcements, and finally abandoned the city to break through to Jiangbei to find Du Fuwei, as soon as the brothers met, they suddenly felt extremely nested, a good situation, how did they suddenly become a lost dog?

No way, let's go west.

At this time, the two brothers did not have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they did not turn around to fight Grandma Chen again, but turned around and went to fight Huaixi.

The first attack was on Lujiang County, which was originally the capital of Qi under Meng Rang, and is now Li Mi's territory.

The two brothers turned around to the west, attacked and attacked fiercely, and actually killed Meng Rang's old troops stationed in Lujiang, and they either fled or surrendered.

So Du Fuwei occupied the Lujiang River, attacked the city everywhere, and recruited rebels, but also made a great noise in Huaixi Lane.

Pengcheng.

A light cavalry came to the city.

"Where is Chen Ling?"

A young cavalry general stepped forward, went straight to the front of the moat, and shouted to the head of the city, "Dare to ask you what it means to hit a stone with an egg, what is a mantis arm to block a car, and what is a person who knows the times is a handsome man?" ”

The general's voice was so loud that almost the entire city heard it.

At the head of the city, the Sui army wearing yellow shirts looked at these red-shirted soldiers under the city with a complicated expression, also waving the Sui flag, but now they are friends and enemies.

"Who are you waiting for?"

One of the guards couldn't help but ask.

Immediately, the young general's arm pointed back to the big flag behind him, and a white tiger roared on the red flag.

Almost at the same time.

Five thousand cavalry behind him roared in unison.

"Chen Ling, King Qin led five thousand Wuzhong soldiers to Pengcheng to meet you!"

A full 5,000 loyal warriors, this should be the most powerful elite today.

1,000 heavily armored Mo swordsmen on horseback, 1,000 cavalry sword and shield soldiers, 1,000 cavalry crossbow infantry, another 1,000 Mingguang armored light cavalry, plus a full 1,000 fully armored heavy armored cavalry.

The infantry was also equipped with two horses.

Both foot riders have iron armor.

Such a soldier, if it was put a few years ago, would be nothing, and the emperor had a lot of them.

But now, at the moment when various places are divided, although there are many emperors, there are a few who can take such an elite. And this is only Luo Cheng's tooth soldiers.

Luo Cheng's name, the name of the Loyal Army, is known to everyone in the world in the past ten years.

Chen Ling was in Pengcheng at this time, he defeated Du Fuwei, recovered Liuhe, and rushed to the east of Jiangdu, recovered Gaoyou, and then came to Pengcheng to take charge of the emptiness caused by the sudden death of Laihu'er Pengcheng.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Pengcheng with his front foot, Luo Cheng came with his back foot.

Not only that, Luo Cheng even ignored the soldiers and horses from all over Pengcheng, and actually went directly to the city of Pengcheng with only 5,000 tooth soldiers, which was 200 miles away from the camp of Luo Cheng in Linyi.

He is not afraid of being besieged and killed by himself?

But soon Chen Ling smiled bitterly, he knew that although he had just defeated Du Fuwei, if he said that he wanted to besiege Luo Cheng, he really couldn't do it. Although there are only 5,000 loyal soldiers, it is difficult for Luo Cheng to rely on these 5,000 people to attack Pengcheng. But he said he wanted to leave, but no one really stopped him.

This Zhongwu King is really arrogant and confident.

But there is no way, people just have this strength.

"Let's go, go and meet this Zhongwu King." Chen Ling didn't have time to relieve his armor, so he came directly to the city. On the way, he even thought that how Luo Cheng came here was so good, he had just entered Pengcheng, and Luo Cheng had also arrived under the city.

Could it be that Luo Cheng already knows his whereabouts well?

So, if Luo Cheng really wanted to rob and kill him, he would actually be completely fine, but he didn't do it, but after letting him enter Pengcheng, he led his troops to the city to show up and meet him.

The more you think about it, the more amazing it gets.

It's scary to think about!

Behind Chen Ling, followed by a group of generals, but everyone looked solemn.

In fact, in today's situation, nine out of ten of these generals and schools actually have no heart to resist Luo Cheng. All they thought was that it was better to surrender to Luo Cheng, anyway, Luo Cheng is now under the banner of the Sui family, and if they belong to Luo Cheng, there will be no ugly faces, and it is not a thief to surrender to rebellion.

"Xuanxiang, what exactly are you going to do?"

A confidant asked Chen Ling.

"Xuanxiang, although Li Yuan has passed through Nanyang, entered the Wuguan, passed the Qinling Mountains, and officially stepped into the Guanzhong, but the brothers all said that in this world, in the end, it is His Royal Highness the King of Qin. Is it worth it? ”

Chen Ling smiled.

"Shopping to the end? Even if you and I are willing, but these soldiers in Pengcheng, Jiangdu, I am afraid that there are few who are willing. ”

"Then why did you refuse to accept Luo Cheng's surrender, and why did you defeat Du Fuwei?"

Chen Ling is mediocre, neither tall nor burly, although he is wearing a suit of armor, he looks more like a county magistrate, and his face always keeps smiling.

"Even if you want to be attached, it depends on the timing, and it must always reflect the value, otherwise I will not be recognised if I take my brothers to the past, everyone follows me, and I have to give everyone an explanation, right?"

"Shall we descend now?" The general asked excitedly.

"Surrender, why not surrender, anyway, I, Chen Ling, also killed Yu Wenhua and Sima Dekan and others, and it can be regarded as being loyal to the Son of Heaven for the great cause, and I have guarded Pengcheng, the capital of the river, for so long, with this remnant army, I can still defeat Du Fuwei, which also fully proves that our Jianghuai soldiers are not weak brigades, and now that Luo Cheng has come to Pengcheng in person, it will be too ignorant if we don't surrender."

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the food in Jiangdu City had run out, Chen Ling might have to think about it again, anyway, he had territory and troops in his hands, and it would never be too late to surrender.

But now that the grain and grass are exhausted, and Luo Cheng is here again, then he can't hold it anymore.

"Open the city gate and follow me out to greet His Royal Highness the King of Qin!"
