At the beginning of summer, the climate has not yet strengthened, the weather is not too hot, and the warm light is sprinkled down, and it looks sunny. Hengshui County, under the blue sky, was haunted in a solemn atmosphere at this time.

The rested Yulin sergeant, under the command of Yuan Hui, brazenly launched an attack on the county seat. Under the city walls, the military flag hunted, and the sound of killing shook the sky, but the attacking officers and soldiers seemed a little perfunctory, roaring hard, but they didn't even try to cling to the city......

Two miles away, on the edge of Zhangshui, a group of officers and soldiers rode nervously back and forth, a small number of horses, hundreds of horsemen, vigilantly guarding against the rebels on the south bank.

The section of the Zhangshui River in front of you is not wide, the weather has been sunny in the past two days, and the water flow is not too turbulent, which is a suitable place to wade. On the river beach, there are still some boats and wooden fences, which were built by the rebels to cross the water last night, and for some reason, the officers and soldiers did not destroy these buildings that can help cross the river.

After galloping back and forth, the sound of the horse's hooves subsided, and the cavalry patrolling the river stopped and stood on the river beach.

"It seems that the rebels on the other side are not fooled!" In the team, Yuan Hui raised his hand to shade the light and looked into the distance, and sighed.

As the commander of the army, when attacking the city, he was not in the command of the Chinese army, but led a small team of men and horses to patrol, which is obviously strange. The action of the official army to attack the city was indeed a plan by Yuan Langjun to lure the enemy, but the rebels on the south bank were not tricked.

"Our army is only more than 3,000 people, and the siege of the city on all sides has already diluted the strength of the army, and some of it is still used to guard the prisoners. Regardless of the place behind the water, only a hundred horses patrolled, and the boats on the water were not damaged. The rebels on the other side of the strait have several times their military strength, and they only need to force their way across and occupy the beachhead, and with their superiority in strength, our army will inevitably be disadvantaged. In such a situation, the other party was indifferent? Why did you dare to raise a fire last night? Yuan Hui muttered, very dissatisfied with the cringe of the rebels.

Following Yuan Langjun's side, looking at his words, he couldn't help but show a strange look on his face, and said: "Last night, three thousand rebels crossed the river and were defeated by my light cavalry. According to the words of the leader of the captive rebels, the army of thieves who crossed the river last night was the main force personally selected by the rebel Kui Xiaozhang, and since it was defeated by my hands, the remaining rabble on the other side, although there were many of them, how could they dare to act rashly? ”

"It's a pity that I'm tired of my soldiers tossing a few times, and I'm making expressions in vain!" Accepting Xiao Zhizhong's opinion, Yuan Hui muttered.

Although the plan to lure the enemy was ineffective, the frustration on Yuan Langjun's face was still the same. Looking at the rebel camp on the other side of the river, which was full of leaks, it was full of fun.

Following Yuan Hui's gaze and observing the enemy camp for a while, Xiao Zhizhong asked: "Since the thief is not in the trap, what does the Metropolitan Governor plan to do next?" ”

Without much hesitation, Yuan Langjun looked like he had already considered his performance, turned his horse's head and ran towards the city behind, and ordered heroically: "Then take the county seat first!" ”

"Pass this order, within an hour, break the city!" Yuan Hui's command was resolute and confident.

After the order was changed, the Yulin sergeant, who was still acting in the four gates, immediately shrank under the leadership of the general, and roamed the periphery with cavalry, ready to strike at the thieves who escaped in the city at any time, which was sure that the county town would be broken.

Compared with the combat ability of the Yulin Army, the number of traitors in the city is small and the combat power is small, but under the order of Yuan Hui, there is no intention of attacking the ants. Fighting such a rebellious town and fighting for consumption is completely a loss-making deal in the eyes of Yuan Hui, so he doesn't do it.

After a long time of preparation, the neat and well-organized army arrayed under the city, outside the range of bows and arrows, and watched for a long time. Ignoring the order of the Yuan Metropolitan Governor to rush to the city, not only the nervous rebel guards in the city were puzzled, but even the officers and soldiers who were ready for battle were surprised, and many people subconsciously looked at the side of the Chinese army.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, when the remaining time of Yuan Langjun's "One Hour Covenant" was about to end, a burst of obvious chaos suddenly broke out at the south gate of Hengshui.

The sound of killing came from behind the city gate, and soon the door was wide open, and the sharp-eyed people could see clearly that it was a group of rebels with dark cloth wrapped in their arms that opened the city gate, and slashed and killed the rebels guarding the gate with extraordinary violence, and the enemy could not stop it.

"Attack!" When the movement came, Yuan Hui's spirit couldn't help but be for a while, and Su Sheng ordered.

Hearing the order, the Yulin sergeant who was gearing up moved when he heard the order, and the advance group of sergeants drew their bows and swords and rushed towards the city gate, even discarding the simple ladder that was originally going to climb the city.

There is a gap in the biggest reliance, where can the rebels in Hengshui City block the attack of Da Zhou Yulin, and they will fight down.

Outside the city, after watching the performance of the official army capturing the city, when the rebels were dispersed, the "Tang" flag fell, and the "Zhou" flag was raised. Xiao Zhizhong turned his head to look at Yuan Langjun with a calm expression, and looked convinced: "It turns out that the governor of the capital has been prepared for a long time, and among the rebels, there is actually a response. ”

Xiao Zhizhong's flattery, Yuan Hui listened to his ears and smiled: "Hengshui's rebellion, but a few evil rebellions are initiated, others are mixed with ants, looking for capable people, mixing in them, and seeking critical moments, how easy it is to ......"

Yuan Langjun's bearing is still quite infectious, Xiao Zhizhong bowed again: "The governor is scheming, which is admirable." ”

"Next, it depends on the situation on Tang Fengyi's side, I have made a lot of achievements with him, I don't know if he can master it!" The city was broken, and Yuan Langjun's mind was not there, he turned his head to the south, and his mind drifted away.

The movement of the official army attacking the city, almost under the eyes of the rebels on the other side, the anxious Xiao Zhang climbed the walled tower, looked from afar, and stared at the fall of the city.

The distance was so far away that the exact situation was not very clear, but counting the time for preparation, the city was declared lost in less than an hour.

Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Yulin Army, Xiao Zhang felt very cold. There is also a sense of fear, after all, he watched the arrangement of the officers and the army before, and under the suggestion of "joining the army" of recruitment, he also moved the idea of crossing the river to attack, but the army's heart was unstable, and he chose to be an ostrich.

......

When Yuan Langjun decisively took Hengshui City, Xindu Prefecture City, thirty miles to the south, was also in the midst of a military front. The gate of Xiguan City was wide open, and hundreds of forest knights were fiercely breaking into it.

The leader is Tang Fengyi, who was appointed by Yuan Hui. Attracting the enemy's attention head-on, and sending a partial division to attack behind the enemy, this trick was already very skillful.

Tang Fengyi also lived up to the hopes of Yuan Hui and successfully broke the city with a thousand horses. The letter is not as good as Hengshui Xiaoyi, the method of breaking the city is no different from Hengshui, and it is attacked inside and outside. The fortress, after all, is still relatively easy to attack from the inside.

Tang Fengyi's martial arts are not strong, but he is full of courage, willing to brave the arrow, take the lead, and break into the city. The rebels guarding Xindu are not much stronger than Hengshui, there are always brave people, and it is difficult to do anything when the city is broken.

The rebels under Xiguan were completely killed, and Tang Feng stopped at the horse, and ordered the soldiers to reorganize.

"But General Tang!" In the chaos in front of him, a man in black led a group of people to cautiously jump out, from a little distance, indicating harmlessness, and called.

"Are you the people of the Governor of Yuan?" Looking at these heroes who broke the city, Tang Fengyi asked.

"Exactly!"

"Do you know the situation of the Assassin Yamen?" The battle situation was like fire, and Tang Fengyi asked directly.

"The rebels are still among them!"

"Lead the way!"
