"Come, beauty, drink two more glasses with me, and drink two more glasses with me." Outside the city, the two armies slaughtered and shook the sky. But in this so-called palace, it is still spring.

But at this time, no one paid any attention to him.

Even the Imperial City Forbidden Army who was responsible for protecting him looked at him with disdain.

After all, the reason why Xu Shouhui was able to become the leader of the Southern Red Turban Rebel Army at the beginning. The most important thing is actually because of Peng Yingyu and Zou Pusheng's support for him.

You must know that it is different from Xu Shouhui, a waste who is ambitious and talented, and is very happy. Peng Yingyu and Zou Pusheng are really heroes among people.

Let's talk about Zou Pusheng first. Zou Pusheng is a member of the Southern White Lotus Sect with strong roots. Counting it carefully, it can be said that since the generation of Master Zou Pusheng, the Zou family has been a force to be reckoned with in the White Lotus Sect in the south.

However, Zou Pusheng himself not only has a strong background, but also excels in terms of personal ability.

Not to mention anything else, just from the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zou Pusheng's title as a loser in the folk can be seen.

At that time, the people of Jiangnan called Zou Pusheng Zun, the lice mother fairy, the great immortal master, the dragon tail holy king, the dragon tail master, and the dragon master. Think about it, a loser who later assisted Chen Youliang to fight against Zhu Yuanzhang was not only not killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, but after being incognito, he became popular among the people.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Zou Pu is superior to his means and abilities. You must know that Zou Pusheng was a military advisor who gave advice to Chen Youliang, and he was the master of the puppet Han court established by the court and Chen Youliang the day before yesterday.

A guy with such a high status, after the puppet Han court established by Chen Youliang was exterminated by Zhu Yuanzhang, he was able to retreat with his whole body. This person's scheming city can be seen. So until now, in many areas of the south of the Yangtze River, there are still sacrificial activities for Zou Pusheng, as if Zou Pusheng has been deified.

But even so, in the current Tianwan court, the highest status is actually Peng Yingyu, who is the prime minister and military advisor.

Because, Peng Yingyu is Zou Pusheng's teacher. Yes, you read that right, at this time, the two men with the highest status in the Tianwan court are indeed in a master-apprentice relationship.

Moreover, Peng Yingyu not only has Zou Pusheng's apprentice, but also Guo Putian, Yang Puxiong, Ding Pulang, Xiang Puluo, Ou Puxiang, Chen Puwen, and Zhao Pusheng are all his Peng Yingyu's apprentices (Note 1). And these people are now the leading generals in the Tianwan Imperial Court.

So...... You get the idea. As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Tianwan Imperial Court, the so-called Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui was actually a puppet pushed up by Peng Yingyu strictly speaking.

Because as early as the beginning, the military power and political power of the Tianwan court were all in Peng Yingyu's hands.

So at this point in the development of the situation, Peng Yingyu naturally became the supreme commander of Qishui City, and commanded all the people in Qishui City.

But there is no way. At this time, even Peng Yingyu led the soldiers and horses of Qishui City to fight against the officers and soldiers of Yuanmeng. But the war situation is still extremely unfavorable.

There is a saying that 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse', no matter how unbearable his Yuanmeng court is, he is a big country with thousands of miles of land and hundreds of millions of people.

Compared with such a powerful state machine, the Tianwan Imperial Court established by Peng Yingyu and them is simply impossible to compete.

So when the Yuanmeng court was determined to exterminate the Tianwan court, and mobilized soldiers and horses from three provinces to besiege him. No matter how clever Peng Yingyu and these people are, they are useless in the face of the absolute power gap.

After all, no matter how smart a praying mantis is, it is impossible to rely on its own ingenuity to stop the progress of a big car.

Therefore, in the face of the tidal wave of Yuanmeng officers and soldiers, Peng Yingyu and others, who had no reinforcements, resisted in vain except to be trapped in the lonely city. In fact, there is no other way.

……

"Kill!" In the blink of an eye, another few days passed. Outside Qishui City, the shouts and killings of the officers and soldiers were still earth-shattering.

However, under such shouts and killings, the soldiers and horses defending the city of Qishui City looked very numb. There was no way, under the tireless attack of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers outside the city with wheel warfare. The Tianwan Righteous Army, which had been resisting them for several days, was already extremely exhausted.

Therefore, at this time, these soldiers naturally looked indifferent to the shouts and killings of the officers and soldiers.

After all, for these soldiers, instead of bothering to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers outside the city, it is better to take this opportunity to rest and rest. In this way, it is better to resist the next attack of the officers and soldiers outside the city.

"Kill the thief! Come on! Sure enough, within a moment, the officers and soldiers outside the city couldn't help but rush up as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

At this time, the Tianwan generals of the Qishui City Wall couldn't help but open their mouths with great effort, and roared again in a hoarse voice, urging their soldiers to stand up from the ground to meet the enemy.

"Soldiers, brothers, whether you live or die, there is a battle just now. Soldiers, kill the Tartars! At this time, Peng Yingyu, who had been standing on the city wall and had not been down the city wall for several days, couldn't help waving the weapon in her hand and roaring again to boost morale.

However, mental support was not enough to relieve the physical exhaustion of the soldiers. Therefore, in order to repel the enemy's attack this time, the casualties paid by the defenders of Qishui City could not help but be two percent more than the last time.

However, the more this happened, the more fierce the attack of the officers and soldiers outside the city became.

No, the soldiers and horses of the Han army of Marshal Han Bangyan of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have just been repulsed, and the old soldiers and horses of Zuo Cheng of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province can't help but rush up again in hundreds.

"Brothers, the time has come to make a contribution, kill the thief!" This group of officers and soldiers, mainly composed of Yuanmeng people and Semu people, roared. After nearly two hours of fierce fighting between Han Bangyan's Han army and the defenders of Qishui City, this army couldn't help but 'heroically' rush forward.

"Kill!" In this regard, Peng Yingyu's heart was extremely resentful. But seeing that his corporal was already physically exhausted, he had to grit his teeth and wave his hand, and sent the last reserve under his command to the front.

"Kill the Tartar!" It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the reserves that are well rested and have sufficient physical strength is indeed not comparable to these defenders who are not individually exhausted.

Although it is said that the old soldiers and horses of Zuo Cheng in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province are whining like the tide, they can't help but be a little short of an elite army like the Heavenly Completion Court.

"Kill the Tartar!" The general who commanded this last reserve was Peng Yingyu's disciple Guo Putian.

Although Peng Dang like Guo Putian is mostly reused because of Peng Yingyu's relationship. But this does not mean that these people are incompetent, you can know by looking at Zou Pusheng that these disciples of Peng Yingyu are really ruthless characters with skills.

So when he heard a roar, he couldn't help but see Peng Yingyu wielding a steel knife weighing more than 20 catties in his hand, and with one knife, he cut an incoming officer and soldier in half from top to bottom.

"Kill me, don't let a tartar come up!" Besides, Putian waved the steel knife in his hand and roared angrily, and the whole person couldn't help but look like a tiger descending from the mountain, and rushed to the most fierce battle between the two armies with the weapon in his hand.

"Get out of the way for me, watch me wait for my brother to kill these Tartars." The whole world roared loudly. He and Yang Puxiong, Ding Pulang and others converged, and they were brothers on the battlefield, so they couldn't help but take their elite men and horses, and launched an extremely fierce attack on the soldiers who had finally climbed the Qishui City Wall.

And under such circumstances, the officers and soldiers who had managed to gain a firm foothold on the city wall couldn't help but be rushed back again and again by this tiger-like enemy.

"Don't be afraid, kill me. Kill these thieves, Lord Zuo Cheng will have a heavy reward! On the other side, under the frantic attack of Guo Putian and others, the se-eyed general who climbed the city wall couldn't help but be so frightened that he only dared to hide behind the crowd and jump to his feet and shout.

But such a cry is obviously of little use. Therefore, after a short period of time, Ding Pulang, one of the people under Peng Yingyu's tent, couldn't help but wave an iron cone to easily chisel through the loose enemy formation formed by this group of officers and soldiers.

"Dog Tartar, not yet dead!" Hearing a roar like thunder, Ding Pulang couldn't help waving the iron cone in his hand, and at once he also killed the deputy Qianhu of the officers and soldiers.

"Wait, who dares to stop me!" Killing a general of the enemy army in one fell swoop, the bloodied Ding Pulang couldn't help but raise his troops and shout.

And when the officers and soldiers around him saw his appearance, they came to fish in troubled waters, and the courage in their hearts couldn't help but decrease again and again.

"Go, go, go. The thief is fierce and invincible! Unbeatable! "I don't have the courage to fight for my life in my heart, these officers and soldiers with Yuanmeng and Semu people as the main body. After waving their weapons a few times, they couldn't help but turn around, and fled from the ladder they had just come up from.

So just like this, it was only an hour, and the defenders of Qishui City couldn't help but repel the enemy again.

"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty! Seeing that the enemy was repulsed again, the defenders of Qishui City couldn't help cheering.

But at this time, Peng Yingyu's face couldn't help but become more and more gloomy. Because he knows that unless there is a miracle, if they continue to fight like this, what awaits them next will only be the end of the road.

……

At night, outside the surrounded Qishui City, the generals of the Yuanmeng Three Provinces Coalition Army couldn't help but discuss how to quickly break through Qishui City under the leadership of the right prime minister of Jiangxi, Huo Youchi, in his Chinese army tent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you all know how tightly the court is facing this matter. Therefore, we must break through Qishui City before the fifteenth and capture and kill the two thieves, Peng Yingyu and Xu Shouhui. Also our Jiangnan people, one is too safe and healthy. "In the camp tent, the right prime minister of Jiangxi with the highest official status is hot, and you can't help but say this when you look at the generals in the camp tent.

Hearing his words, the generals and officials in the camp naturally said "yes" after looking at each other.

So seeing this, Huo Youchi nodded silently, and then looked at everyone and couldn't help but continue: "Now, the thief army in Qishui City is already at the end of the crossbow. The reason why it has been able to persist until now is because the will to survive is strong, and the desire to survive still exists. ”

"So the best way to deal with such an enemy is to follow the trend. Use their desire to survive to defeat them. So wait until tomorrow, and I'm ready to do all three. Ostensibly, the siege of the city was carried out by means of siege, giving them a way to survive and weakening their resistance. Secretly, they ambushed a troop of soldiers and horses on their way to survival, in order to wipe them out. Do you think it's okay for me to do this? ”

After talking to the lieutenant generals in the tent, after talking about his plan, Huo Youchi looked at the generals under the tent, and couldn't help asking.

However, when everyone under the tent heard Huo Youchi's words, after looking at each other, Zuo Cheng Lao of Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province, who was second only to Huo Youchi in the account, couldn't help but ask at Huo You's red hair: "Right Cheng's method is excellent." But I don't know, which way of soldiers and horses is you going to let as ambushes? ”

Obviously, all those present were not fools either. They all know that the credit for leading the army to break through Qishui City is small, and only the capture and killing of Peng Yingyu and Xu Shouhui is a great achievement.

So when such a great achievement that seems to be nine out of ten is in front of them, these people want to fight for it.

And for this, Huo Youchi naturally knows it.

Although at this time, he also has the heart to arrange his own people to do this. However, as the highest official position present and nominally the coach, no matter who made the credit in the end, as the coach, he naturally has a good command credit.

So in this way, he eats the opposite and not too ugly. After all, he had already eaten the meat, and at least he had to leave a mouthful of soup for the others.

However, this soup was actually set as early as the beginning. And this master is the old man Zuo Cheng of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province who is now standing up to ask.

After all, the so-called three major provinces joined forces, and the one who came to participate in the war in Huguang Province was only one 10,000-household official. Naturally, it was eliminated at the beginning. And without Huguang and Jiangxi provinces, the rest of the province is naturally the old man who is Zuo Cheng of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces!

But although the result is like this, Huo Youchi himself doesn't like Lao Lao this guy very much. Because since this guy came with troops, he has always only reaped benefits and did not make any efforts. Moreover, his soldiers and horses are also a bunch of waste, from the beginning of the war to the present, not only has they not been able to help much, but they have also added a lot of trouble to the coalition army.
