Under the city of Zhaozhou, the loyal army is still at the head. Wang Yan commanded thousands of soldiers and horses, carrying long ladders and wooden platoons, and rushed towards the outer fortress of Zhaozhou, which was close to the tributary of the Zhanghe River, but it was also one or twenty miles away [Mapu Town]. Neither the state city nor the walls outside the city were close to the river, so although there were moats, the ditches were narrow.

The moat under the state city is only five feet wide and narrow. A mere plank can be jumped over. In the outer fortresses, some of them are only one or two ditches, and there are ditches but no water.

The head of the city of Zhaozhou is like a great enemy. These Hebei recruits are not the Western Army that has been fighting for decades, they lack training one by one, and they have been out of battle for a long time, how can they not be afraid of watching the Liangshan Army rushing in?

Many people still don't know the difference between the Loyal Warriors and the Liangshan Army.

But the result was that it fell through people's eyes, and this attack was a typical thunder and rain. When the attacked defenders were in the camp, the sound of bows and crossbows vibrate, and a rain of arrows and crossbows rained down on the attacking troops, and the former immediately retreated without looking back. What the hell is going on in this battle, I'm afraid no one except Lu Qian can figure it out.

He obviously looked at the Song military camp and the clouds were very thin, Tong Guan arranged these soldiers outside the city, obviously asking them to be cannon fodder, how could the morale still be high?

was so demoralized, just like the Song army he met in Cizhou and Zhaozhou, he wanted to see if the defenders outside the city would flee from the wind after this impact. What's more, there are still three inside, but the offensive result is far from what he thought.

In this case, there is no need to sacrifice human lives to fill it. The loyal soldiers only came to make a feint, but when they saw that the situation was not good, they turned around and left.

"Wang Yan's siege was shot well, but it was unexpected! It can be seen that the defenders in Zhaozhou City are still a little demoralized. At present, our army's logistics fleet has not yet arrived, and the equipment is not in order, so it is difficult to carry out a strong attack. And wait for time. Lu Qian happily gave the military order, and then said to Le He: "And call Xiao Rang to the front of the army." The latter listened and took the order.

In this way, the Liangshan army only called for people to surrender, and then wrapped the letter with an arrow shaft, and shot into the walled city at night. In this way, a fleet of ships came from the south, and four-wheeled flatbed trucks carried timber of different arm thicknesses and lengths from Mapu Town to the front of the army. At this moment, the Liangshan army has built a number of military villages under the city of Zhaozhou, with flags fluttering and strict walls, so that the defenders of Zhaozhou cannot observe how many soldiers are stored inside.

I could only see four-wheeled vans running back and forth, and no one could say how many soldiers were carrying.

Lu Qian is vigorously manufacturing four-wheeled carriages, because the official roads in Qilu have been gradually connected, that is, the straight roads have been repaired from Cangzhou to Dizhou, and it will gradually appear in the land of Middle-earth in the future. As an ancient version of a high-speed national highway, the straight road not only has huge economic benefits, but also has extraordinary political significance.

Together with the official road, the inland waterway, and the sea route, it will become one of the main blood transfusion arteries of the Lu Empire in the future.

The city of Zhaozhou was blocked by the Liangshan army within a radius of thirty miles, and the defenders in the city did not know about it. It wasn't until the round incendiary bombs were sandwiched in the cannons and rained down on their heads in the dark night that the defenders of Zhaozhou knew that the Liangshan Army's city-breaking artifact had arrived.

The sudden blow was matched with the impact of thousands of elite armor soldiers that the Liangshan army had prepared, and it was no surprise that the seven camps of the Song army outside Zhaozhou City were pulled out in one fell swoop.

The remaining three Song armies were also trembling in the night, and before the Liangshan army could be killed, they collapsed first. A nest of defeated soldiers mixed with the defeated army of the other four camps and poured together under the city of Zhaozhou. Just as the defenders of the city had the audacity to open the door to them in the darkness of the night! The final result was only to obediently become a prisoner of war of the Liangshan Army.

In the city of Zhaozhou, Tong Guan was furious and scolded Zhao Lianghei, who proposed to set up a military fortress outside the city to defend the city.

Seven military villages were destroyed overnight, and more than 7,000 soldiers were annihilated, so Tong Guan's troops stopped three times and removed one stop. Such a loss can naturally make Tong Daofu angry.

He was able to accept the defeat of the seven military fortresses and arrange people outside the city, which was to send people to death. Everyone knows that the Liangshan army has Liangshan cannons, which are hugely powerful, and the military fortress outside the city is difficult to resist. This measure is essentially to use human lives to block the butcher's knife of the Liangshan army, and it is to use human lives to slow down the progress of the Liangshan army.

But the result was that Liang Shanjun made such a effortless effort to make his painstaking arrangements come to naught overnight, and devoured one-third of his troops cleanly, which made Tong Guan unable to hold his breath.

In the big tent of the Liangshan army, three Song generals knelt in front of Lu Qian, and everyone bowed their heads, not daring to make any moves.

There were several pro-army guards standing in two columns, wearing armor and carrying swords, all of them standing upright, with a dim light on their armor, and they had an awe-inspiring majesty. As the leader, his eyes were like lightning, so that the three of them did not dare to raise their heads. I only feel that if I overstep the slightest, I will be knocked out of my head the next moment.

"What do you three say about this king?"

Hooking up with Zhao Liangsi, that is, hooking up with Liang Shanjun, this is an act of betrayal of Tong Guan. But he was unwilling to completely betray Tong Guan, otherwise this Zhaozhou City, Lu Qian would be able to take it in his hand.

These three people are the three chiefs of the seven camps outside the city, and Lu Qian deliberately kept the three of them not to fight, this is not that he is 'optimistic' about them, but to declare his anger and majesty.

Let them know that since they are unwilling to do internal responses, they are of no value at all, just a cannon stone, not worth mentioning.

If a person wants to betray, he must betray completely, like Zhao Lianghe, like these three people, dragging mud and water, which makes Lu Qian unhappy congenitally. And since you have done such a thing, do you still hope to be called a righteous man? I really don't know what to say.

Although these three people should open the city in the camp and help Lu Qian easily take the city, they will not be valued by King Lu.

Because as the saying goes, if you betray once, don't want to be trusted by others a second time.

These words were false and empty in front of Lu Qian. King Lu is a man who has opened the 'Eye of Heaven', and the last thing he is afraid of is betrayal by someone, the problem is that the abilities of these three people are not very good.

Like Wang Yan, his strength is comparable to Zhu Tong and Xu Ning, and he has fought with the party in the northwest, and he is quite capable of commanding troops. As long as he works obediently, as he is now, Lu Qian will not treat him badly.

But the strength of these three people is average, Lu Qian Xu will give him a proper placement for the sake of his merits, but don't think about the future.

And now, they will have a 'new life'. Assigned to serve under Wang Yan's account, "Can you take it?" ”

"Thank you, King Hongen, the little ones are convinced."

There are more than 3,000 troops under the control of the three of them, and they thought that it was against the 'will', but Lu Qian saw that the three of them surrendered on their own initiative, and for the sake of the soldiers, he would also reward them. I didn't want to talk to them at all, and after a cannon shot down, not only the four camps that were hit by the artillery were in chaos, but the three camps that were not attacked were also scattered.

All the soldiers became prisoners, and they had no capital in the blink of an eye.

"Three pickled birds, what kind of fart is it worth! Looking at the chaos, he is not a person who does things. Lu Zhishen was straight-mouthed, and he was the first to shout after the three of them went. He heard Lu Qian say that Zhao Liangsi was going to surrender, and he also hooked up with several generals in the army, and thought that the battle of Zhaozhou would be effortless. But in the end, he still has to fight, and he is happy for nothing.

Then I was annoyed with the three of them first.

"If you don't talk about them, call them the ministries! Straighten out your equipment and prepare for the siege! "Anyway, as soon as all the equipment has been delivered, with Lu Qian's current strength, he can naturally overturn Zhaozhou in one fell swoop.

With such an order, tens of thousands of soldiers moved when they heard the news. One after another shield carts were pushed to the front of the formation, followed by ladder cars, long ladders were erected high and obliquely, and huge carriages were decorated below.

There are even Liangshan cannons erected under the city, and the cannons have been projected out.

Under the city of Zhaozhou, a team of military armor arrays converged into one, looking down from above, it was a red ocean, riding and riding at the same time, densely packed in the sun, and from time to time there were weapons emitting dazzling light in the sun.

There are no people outside the city of Zhaozhou for a long time, and the only audience is the defenders at the head of the city, they are dodging the stone cannons, and most of the sergeants have gone down to the city, but there are still the bold ones among the few soldiers who remain behind, they are hiding in the shelter of the city, just looking at the outside of the city, a sea of red fire is formed.

In the center of this crimson sea, a black-armored sergeant stood like a reef. Without the scorching heat of the red robes, the Liangshan Army's pro-army wearing dark armor is like a stubborn stone that has been burned by the flames but has not moved at all.

Tens of thousands of people stood neatly, the army was tightly organized, and there was an invincible momentum that overwhelmingly suppressed the Quartet.

Looking at such a battle, the eyes of the soldiers at the head of the city showed a look of horror. On that day, Tong Guan also gathered soldiers and horses, and swore an oath, but the battle at that time was far worse than the current scene.

Lu Qian looked at the head of Tongxu City, and could vaguely see that the clouds above the city were light, and he was happy in his heart, this Zhaozhou City was far less solid than the Daimyo's Mansion, if it was bombarded day and night, it would probably be able to break the city in three or two days. But too slowly.

He has already spent two more days in Zhaozhou, and today is the time to end.

First call people and then shout to surrender, and then send soldiers and horses to fill the moats, a large number of shield carts pushed straight to the city wall, behind which stood a large group of crossbowmen, artillery is also focused on the enemy towers, sheep and horses, crossbow platforms on the city head.

The Liangshan army was relaxed, Wang Yan looked at the Chinese army, and vaguely saw Lu Qian and several generals in armor and robes discussing and discussing. He looked at Zhao Zhoucheng's gaze full of pity.

Tong Guan is of course loyal to him, but he doesn't know how many good sons he wants to kill, everyone is flesh and blood, his father is raised by his mother, why bother to work for the old Zhao family?

That Tong Guan is a eunuch, and all the glory and wealth are maintained on the Zhao official family, so he naturally has to work hard; Zhang Suo is a scholar, the Zhao family has been a scholar for more than 100 years, and now that the state is turbulent, it is natural that there will be a few loyal ministers. If they are all Huang Qianshan's generation, they will have no conscience.

But what are ordinary martial artists in the eyes of the Zhao family? Don't see the high achievements of the past, such as Di Wuxiang? "Don't you know, this Zhao Song is the Zhao Song of the scholars?"

After Wang Yan returned to the Liangshan Army, he was somewhat influenced by the Liangshan Army, was he born as a martial artist, and the two sides were still very compatible. In this way, the shame of surrendering to the enemy in his heart will be dissolved.

The propaganda of the Liangshan Army can brainwash the warriors very much, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Taizu's thoughts shine as brightly in the Northern Song Dynasty. This Northern Song Dynasty military minister has been suppressed for more than 100 years, how can it have no negative effect at all?

In this way, Wang Yan also believed more and more the words propagated by Liang Shanjun.

Because it will make him stand up, and it will make him remove the shame of surrender. It can also be regarded as an alternative method of spiritual victory.
