Chapter 272: (Ping Jiyang)

Chen Qing pulled Chen Xu out, but he didn't know that the people standing in the courtyard heard his words to Chen Xu clearly, and seeing this, Ma Xin's Jinyi guard also stepped forward, blocking the gate of the courtyard, and even took out the embroidered spring knife on his waist, and pointed straight at Chen Qing's denomination.

"Big... Uncle, don't you want to kill me? Chen Qing turned his head to look at Ma Xin in the courtyard with a shudder.

Ma Xin really wants to kill this old guy now, but for the sake of Chen Xu's face, it is not easy to attack him, after all, his sister is still Chen Xu's wife, and it is not easy to explain in front of his parents after doing this: "A certain prince has a great favor, and he has the official position of the general banner of Jinyi Wei, and now the prince's army is close to the city of Jiyang, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken. ”

As soon as the threatening words came out, Chen Qing immediately couldn't stand up and fell, Chen Xu hurriedly helped him up, and then made all kinds of compensation in front of Ma Xin, indicating that he must look at his timid father, and Ma Xin was not worried that Chen Qing would really go to the official, and said that if the official reported, the Chen family would be pulled into the water, which made Chen Qing honestly stay in the courtyard and wait for news.

Ma Xin didn't get nothing this time, he was ordered to come to Jiyang not only to instigate rebellion, but also to do internal response, and also to set fire to Jiyang City to create chaos in the event that he did not succeed in getting the rebellion target, so as to relieve the pressure on the besieging troops.

The Qi army imitated the military system of the Han Dynasty, with a battalion of every 6,000 people, with a battalion commander and a deputy general, and six lieutenants and generals; Every four battalions is an army, divided into four battalions: front, rear, left and right, with one general and one deputy general.

Cheng Xizhao commanded the front, rear, left, right, and CCP five armies, and Li Ying, who was stationed in Huanghe Town, was subordinate to the commander of a battalion under the command of the rear army, and he belonged to one of the four battalion generals under the command of the commander of the rear army.

In the eastern section of Jiyang South City, the person responsible for guarding is Gan Ping, the commander of the right army under Cheng Xizhao, coincidentally, this person is the same as Li Ying, he is also a person from Langya County, and he joined the army together, all under Cheng Xizhao's command, Gan Ping's relatives are different from Li Ying, but they are not in Jinan, but in Langya County, they can persuade Gan Ping anyway because Zhang Bu occupies Langya, and loot a lot, Ma Xin also relied on this intelligence to successfully persuade Gan Ping, and promised the benefits of being able to enter the guard, made Gan Ping, who had not had much hope for the Qi army, resolutely choose to take refuge in Shangguan Yin Feng anyway.

This is also the most important force that Ma Xin relies on, in order to make Gan Ping more dedicated, Ma Xin even said that if the siege goes smoothly and Cheng Xizhao is taken, he may be able to give Gan Ping an errand to command in Jiyang, but what Ma Xin didn't expect was that this errand had already been promised to Li Ying, but he didn't tell the whole story, and it was okay to give a command to Tongzhi when the time came, after all, the two were from Langya County, and they could be regarded as fellow villagers.

Gan Ping got the news of Ma Xin half an hour ago, and because his original duty was to garrison the eastern section of the city wall of the south gate of Jiyang, due to the tense atmosphere now, his task was to be on duty during the day and still on duty under the city wall at night, so after getting the news, he immediately summoned his cronies and generals to prepare matters, just in case.

Cheng Xizhao's spies also quickly sent back a report that the town of Huanghe was lost, the defender Li Ying was captured, and the rout army was coming towards Jiyang, and behind the rout was the Cheng Dynasty cavalry that was chasing and killing.

After receiving this news, Cheng Xizhao convened his generals overnight, and sent people to the front line in Texas overnight to inform Cheng Qingzhi and Cheng Pingzhong, so that they could lead the army to help, after all, it was Shangguan Yin Feng himself who came to attack the city, and after all the arrangements were made, he let his generals enter the camp one after another to prepare, in addition to taking the rout back into the city, but also to prevent the men and horses from blocking the cavalry that was chasing and killing.

"King, not long after the time passed, the sky was dark, and the Cheng Dynasty army did not dare to go deep alone..."

The words of a general are not worth believing, Cheng Xizhao heard that Shangguan Yin Feng's troops like the most common thing is night fighting, night fighting is the most taboo thing in this era, in addition to the line of sight, various other factors will lead to increased damage to the siege troops, and both the offensive and defensive sides will not get any benefits, but Shangguan Yin Feng specializes in night fighting, so that it is a good time to sleep so that Cheng Xizhao does not dare to underestimate the enemy.

"A lesson from the past, the fall of the Yan Kingdom is to be destroyed by the light enemy, and they all underestimated the night combat ability of Shangguan Yin Feng's troops, otherwise Cangzhou would be captured so easily overnight, making Yuan Shijie flee?"

Cheng Xizhao said that he thought of Yuan Shijie's feat on the bank of the Chaliang River, and the Huns who killed lost their armor and abandoned their armor, so that the Huns did not dare to covet the land of Jizhou and Youyan, but he was killed by Shangguan Yin Feng in front of the fortified city of Cangzhou and fled, the reason was that he was careless and was attacked by Shangguan Yin Feng, which made the army confused, and thus defeated.

"Order the generals, sleep with A tonight, and there must be no mistake."

"No..."

Because of the fall of Jinan, coupled with Shangguan Yin Feng's usual prestige, now Cheng Xizhao no longer dares to despise his little brother-in-law, which makes him even more worried about whether Shangguan Yin Feng will come to attack the city at night.

The meeting ended only half an hour, a fast horse ran to the city of Jiyang, because it was night, the defenders hung the man into the city of Jiyang with a hanging basket, and then Cheng Xizhao received the news that the town of Huanghe was lost, Li Ying was captured, and the army was only five miles away from Jiyang.

Although Cheng Xizhao's spies came earlier than before, he did not dare to slack off after receiving the news of the defeat, and immediately took his armor to the south gate and guarded it in person.

"King, the rout is already under the city, what should I do?"

After Cheng Xi summoned leather armor to the city, the guard who was responsible for guarding the south gate of the urn city informed Cheng Xizhao of this situation, after all, there were as many as two or three thousand defeated soldiers.

"Where are the pursuing enemy troops?" Cheng Xizhao's first thought was to chase the soldiers, in case Shangguan Yin Feng took advantage of the actual rout of the army to lead the army to charge, then the city gate would completely become an ornament.

"Back to the king, the intersection is far away, and it is estimated that there are still about five miles." The general clenched his fists and said.

The fire in the distance was raging, and Shangguan Yin Feng also did it on purpose, if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to achieve a realistic effect, and that Cheng Xizhao was definitely not a fool.

In fact, as Shangguan Yin Feng guessed, Cheng Xizhao clenched the sword in his hand at the moment, in addition to staring at the fire in the distance, the rest was to listen to the crying sound of the door under the city tower.

"Third Brother Liu, it's me, I'm the little fifth son, hurry up and help tell the general, let the king open the city gate and let me wait to enter, the enemy is coming..."

"Ouch, it's really a little five..."

"Hey, look, isn't that Lao Liu of the rear army?"

"It's really them..."

Cheng Xizhao listened to the conversation of the soldiers, and the defeated army below was the soldier of the rear army under his command, and the previous worries dissipated, and then ordered the city guards to put down the city gate drawbridge, open the city gate, and let the defeated army enter the city.

"Open the gates..."
