Hussar general, this is Li Ming's self-appointed position, which lacks some legitimacy compared to the position of Yangzhou Mu, but compared to Yuan Shao's self-proclaimed general, it is already very face-saving.

Even Cao Cao was not good at falling behind, so he proclaimed himself a Yanzhou pastor and a position of captain.

Without the identity of a hussar general, Li Ming could not appoint any general Pingdong or Pingbei. It is said that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, and even Yuan Shu's subordinates all have similar official positions, but most of the generals under Cao Cao are miscellaneous generals.

"We're not far from Xiapi City!" Wang Yu came to Li Ming, pointed to the front and said.

The advance troops, mainly Li Ming and Wang Yu, took the lead in entering the Xiapi Kingdom from Guangling County. At the same time, Xu Huang's troops went west into Xiapi Kingdom, and then went all the way north, and finally the two forces converged at Xiapi City.

"The two cities of Liangcheng and Siwu have opened their doors to surrender, the key is Xiapi City, this is the gateway to Xiapi Kingdom, and it is also a bridgehead to guard against the enemy forces on the Pengcheng Kingdom, here we must take it! However, depending on the situation, the other side does not seem to intend to surrender...... "Wang Yu looked at the side of the city, only to see that the gate was closed, and the defenders were on guard on the city wall.

"Xu Huang, when are they coming?" Li Ming looked at Wang Yu.

"You can arrive in two days, and there is not much resistance along the way, and most of the time is on the march." Wang Yu had already prepared, and replied directly when he heard the words. After a pause, he continued to explain the situation in Xiapicheng, "There are no generals under Tao Qian, but Xiapi Xiangrong is a ruthless person. He was originally a native of Danyang County, and after Tao Qian took office, he took nearly a thousand people to defect, and was appointed as the governor of Guangling and Peng Chengguo, and at the same time served as the next minister. He is a group of outlaws, but he is a villain, and the reason why he refuses to defend the city is because he plans to use Xiapi City as a bargaining chip to negotiate conditions with us! ”

"You can negotiate terms with me today, and you can negotiate conditions with others in the future. It's not a pity for this kind of person to die, what is the material of the city gate of Xiapi City? Is it a wooden door clad in iron, or is it a real iron door? Li Ming looked at the city gate from a distance and asked casually.

"Don't do anything stupid, I know you want to use the Broken Moon and Broken Army Marksmanship to blast open the city gate directly......" Wang Yu immediately dissuaded.

"Ling Xing......" Li Ming tilted his head to look at Wang Yu, "You will make me lose a lot of fun like this!" ”

"You're no longer the general who rushed to the front line with a hundred soldiers as consumables! You are the backbone of the 30 million people in Jiangdong, you can't have an accident! Don't be too self-referential, go and don't repeat the fate of the overlord! Wang Yu reprimanded very solemnly.

"So I'm talking to you, not just killing you!" Li Ming smiled faintly, "You should know that I can't stay in the rear all the time!" In all respects, I need you to create a mechanism for me to be able to correct government affairs anytime and anywhere, no matter where I am, and if necessary, I will leave some inconsequential and some more urgent government and military affairs to you to deal with! ”

"You're a little too strong to be like this!" Wang Yu only felt helpless, he knew very well why Li Ming was fighting on the front line, after all, compared to eating spirit beast meat intermittently, joining the battle or even joining the battlefield could give him more benefits.

For example, more henchmen, more strength, and some special loot.

The key is that such a strong man is also very beneficial on the front line, before the appearance of the enemy's regular troops, all the way over, the passing county commander heard that Li Ming was personally recruited, and directly opened the door to surrender, and only one name let others open the door to surrender, it is estimated that it is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu four hundred years ago, only this treatment.

"The city wall of Xiapi City is not high, more than six meters or seven meters, you can consider jumping on it. I will go up with my lord, so that it will be much safer. The engineering battalion only needs a few long ladders! Zhang Mo stepped forward and said.

"Okay...... Leisurely ...... "Wang Yu supported his forehead, he knew that he couldn't say these two changes. State. Of course, he himself is strictly a pervert, as long as his qi and blood do not return to zero, then he is not afraid of being injured at all.

"Guards ready!" Li Ming raised his spear and shouted, and the soldiers of the Guards, mainly Xu Chu, immediately shouted one after another, and at the same time, under the order of the general, five high ladders were brought up.

A ladder is a siege machine designed to create a straight path to the top of the city. The long ladder is a very rudimentary siege equipment, and the wooden ladder is equipped with barbs and hung on the city wall for soldiers to climb. Because of the simple production process, it is almost used as a substitute for ladders in many cases.

The siege force is on Xu Huang's side, and Li Ming's side is a light army, so naturally he won't bring such bulky things. What you can carry is probably something like a long ladder.

"My lord, it seems that the enemy forces are planning to attack! Led by ...... That's a rhinoceros, legend has it that among the soldiers under the command of Yangzhou Mu, only he himself is riding a rhinoceros, and the one who rushed in front was actually Li Zhoumu! At the head of Pi City, the adjutant reported to Zhen Rong on the situation of the enemy army in front, but when he found out that Li Ming actually rushed over, he immediately exclaimed.

"Shoot, let him know we're awesome!" Zhen Rong didn't expect Li Ming to kill him, just as Wang Yu said, he planned to use Picheng as a condition for negotiation and ask Li Ming for benefits, which is good, it seems that it can't be negotiated.

But it doesn't matter, if you kill Li Ming, then it will be a great achievement! Maybe you can go one step further and serve as the county guard of Guangling, or maybe the county guard of Donghai County!

The archers immediately took aim, then set the advance and fired a flurry. Seeing this, Li Ming used a spinning spear to block most of the arrows in this wave, and a few arrows hit the armor and broken moon on his body, but they were not painful.

"That's it, then I'm really disappointed!" Li Ming got up suddenly, flipped onto the back of Broken Moon, and then suddenly kicked forward, and the whole person jumped up, climbed on the city wall, and rolled forward directly to the city wall.

"Kill him!" Zhen Rong pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed at Li Ming and shouted, and the surrounding soldiers slashed towards Li Ming.

At that moment, Li Ming was indeed stabbed twice, no matter how much he tried to guard against it, it was impossible for him to have no dead ends in all directions. It's just that the ring head knife slashed on his armor, but it was blocked by force, and he didn't even cut out the scars. One of the knives slashed at his thigh, and at that moment there was a hot feeling of the skin being cut by the knife that peeled the fruit, and it was nothing more than that.

You know, now that he has opened the pain perception to 60%, the pain perception is getting closer and closer to the real pain. As for the damage, this time it was just a mandatory deduction of 1 point of his qi and blood value.

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Li Ming burst into a shout, and the hurricane marksmanship was suddenly used, and the surrounding enemies were directly cut off. With a certain amount of movement, it caused at least thirty enemy soldiers to die, and a large part of the city wall was suddenly emptied.

"Lord, I'm here to help you!" Zhang Mo also jumped up suddenly at this moment, taking advantage of this opportunity to jump onto the city wall, and at the same time killed in the opposite direction. A horizontal knife flew and constantly reaped the lives of the soldiers on the city wall.

Not long after, the long ladder was erected, and the guards followed Xu Chu to the city wall one after another, and at this time Li Ming had already killed on the ground and engaged in a battle with Zhenrong.

"Li Ming, isn't he the god of war?" Zhen Rong watched as there were fewer and fewer old brothers around him, but Li Ming was constantly approaching.

At this moment, he is covered in the flesh and blood of his subordinates, but he is not injured at all, or he has it, but he doesn't care at all, so in front of Zhenrong's eyes, the man in front of him actually killed all the way, and he was unscathed.

The fear began to ferment, and some soldiers had already begun to abandon their weapons and turn to flee. Zhang Mo and Xu Chu had already returned to the ground, and behind the city gate, they directly opened the city gate.

"Soldiers, follow me in!" Wang Yujian pointed his sword forward and shouted, while secretly sighing that he was not able to participate this time. Bai Xin knew this old friend very well, and stepped forward to pat him on the back, and the former sighed.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm willing to surrender, I'm willing to surrender!" Zhen Rong has been forced into a corner by Li Ming. The two sides had tried a simple battle before, but as a result, Li Ming almost vomited blood as soon as he broke the military marksmanship. After a few moves, he directly hit the internal injury, and he didn't know when the weapon had been taken off.

"I seem to have sent someone to inform me that all the way over, the officials of the counties and cities must be convenient. Otherwise, it will be regarded as surrendering to the enemy, and since you don't open the door, then you are an enemy army. The point is, I look down on you! After Li Ming finished speaking, the spear suddenly slashed and cut off Zhenrong's head.

"Trash!" Li Ming looked at the headless corpse of Zhen Rong, spat on it, and turned around and shouted, "Clean up the remnants, immediately occupy Xiapi City, and appease the Xiapi King!" ”

I have to say that Liu Yi, the king of Xiapi, was lucky, he should have died in 185. I don't know what the reason is, he has survived by chance, but as the king of the county in troubled times, his life is not much better, he is almost overhead, and the key is that this is the result of Tao Qian's secret instructions.

Two days later, Xu Huang led his army to Xiapi City, which had been completely settled by Li Ming at this time. Liu Yi, the king of Xiapi, took his family and gold and silver treasures, but he gave up the throne and went directly to the Guanzhong region and took refuge in the imperial court. For the clan relatives of the Han family, the news that Li Ming was the overlord of Western Chu has spread, and living under the rule of such a person, it is estimated that only Liu Xuan's sons, and Liu Ye have the courage, at least Liu Yike does not have this courage.

"Look, I just said that there is no enemy I need to be afraid of in the Central Plains today!" When Xu Huang met Li Ming, the latter was discussing something with Wang Yu.

"Okay, okay!" Wang Yu also felt a headache at this moment, "I will tell Xun Biao and Gu Yan what you mean, and they will build your so-called mechanism according to your requirements, as for whether they will die or complain, I am not responsible!" ”

I have to admit that unless it is a very high fortified city, those low city walls in the Central Plains are estimated to really be unable to stop Li Ming's invasion. Strictly speaking, Li Ming took Zhang Mo to Xia Pi City, at most plus more than 300 guards and soldiers who entered the city, and 300 people brought down a county government, what could be more speechless than this.

At this moment, Wang Yu planned to persuade Li Ming not to advocate personal force, but it seemed that it was not convincing.
