Zheyun City was one of the twelve cities in the clouds, with a long history, its city walls were majestic, 12 meters high, 8 meters wide at the bottom, and 4 meters wide at the top. The inside is made of rammed earth, but the outside is covered with several layers of green bricks. It is rumored that in front of the five hundred, the powerful King of Zhiyun built the city wall of Zhiyun City here, which was still rammed earth at that time. The king of Zheyun ordered that when the acceptance was made, the soldiers who could pierce the city wall with an iron spine would kill the workers of this section of the city wall, and then fill the corpses into the city wall; If you can't get in, kill the soldier. A minor repair in five years, a major repair in ten years! So much so that for hundreds of years, although Zheyun City has changed hands several times, it has never been breached! Most of them take the initiative to donate the city, or there is an internal response. When King Jingyun conquered Yunzhong, when he attacked Zheyun City, the twelve cities in Yunzhong had been lost and had to surrender, but when Feiyun City conquered Zheyun City, Min Ren lured the enemy outside the city to annihilate completely, and there was an internal response in the city, so he was forced to surrender the city!

And now outside Zhiyun City, Wuyunbin led the civil and military officials to look at the majestic city wall of Zhiyun City from a distance on the hillside, and sighed: "Such a strong city, I don't know how many heroes have been blocked!" Although Wu Liu'er, who was standing next to him, was killed by Li Jing in the Black Ridge Cliff, he lost all his face, but in the next few games, he led people to annihilate the seventh capital of the Western Army, and captured four counties along the way, which can be regarded as an outstanding meritorious service, since he heard that Li Jing's department was in this city, he had the heart to take this city, humiliate and humiliate Li Jing, and revenge the revenge of the Black Ridge Cliff. At this time, he suddenly heard a long sigh from Wuyunbin, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Uncle, although this city is strong, it must be guarded. Now that my three-city alliance army lives here, are the 200,000 troops still afraid that they won't be able to attack the next Zhiyun City! "In fact, there is a sentence he didn't name, that is, there are several forces in Zheyun City that have already made up their minds to donate the city, but some details have not been negotiated, so it has been delayed so far, once the time is ripe, this city is also at your fingertips!

Wu Yunbin heard Wu Liu'er's hidden words, smiled, and didn't say more, just turned his head sideways and asked, "Hei Tai, what do you think?" Hei Tai was upright, and he didn't notice Wu Liu'er's jealous eyes, so he just returned: "Lord of the city!" The city is not only firmly walled, not afraid of flying stones, but also heavily defended everywhere, with many arrow towers covering each other, and it is difficult to find any shooting dead ends. If you forcibly attack the city, I am afraid that you will suffer heavy losses! Wu Yunbin nodded with satisfaction: "Well, General Hei is worthy of being the queen of the gate!" It didn't take long to get so familiar with the city! Kurotai, is there any good way to attack the city? ”

Hei Tai frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "City Lord, no matter how you look at it, the defense of this city is impeccable. But the only weakness is probably that the city is not very large, so a large number of civilians have to build houses outside the city, and our army will take refuge in the city as soon as they arrive. In addition, a large number of refugees from all over the city are coming to this city, and there must be a large number of refugees in the city at this time! In such a city, there will be less food and more people in the city, and there will be no need to storm it, just wait for a month or so, and there will be no food! Even if I don't wait, there will be civil strife in the city, and then the city will fall! ”

The people in the back heard what Hei Tai said is the Tao, although it is only a siege plan, but there is analysis and conclusion, it sounds good, and Wu Yunbin also thinks that it can. But Wu Liu'er has always regarded himself as the heir of Wuyun City, how can he tolerate Hei Tai stealing his limelight, so he said leisurely: "Hmph! It's just a siege plan, I thought it was a clever plan to get in! It turns out that there is no good way! ”

Hei Tai's face turned red, and he didn't know where he offended this master, so he had to lower his head and didn't dare to answer. Wu Yunbin didn't want this nephew to be so unproductive, so he was narrow-minded, and immediately scolded: "Liu'er, do you know how to chew your tongue!" Are the siege machines ready? Why don't you go to the front line to inspect it again, if there is a mistake, I will ask you! Wu Liu'er was most afraid of his uncle, so he lowered his head and was scolded, so he had to beat his horse forward, walked a few steps, and took advantage of the fact that Wu Yunbin was not paying attention, turned around and glared at Hei Tai fiercely, before he rode away!

This Wu Liu'er went by himself, but after making a fuss on this side, he fell cold, and everyone felt a little embarrassed and not squeaked. An Zhi smiled, jumped out from the side, and said, "City Lord, my lords. Now that Zhiyun City is no matter what, we have already won most of it, and they are very useful in guarding a city! I have a proposal! Seeing his henchman and military advisor jump out, Wu Yunbin felt very satisfied in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Speak quickly!" ”

An Zhi's eyes rolled and continued: "Although Zheyun City is not a problem, but the troops stationed here for a long time have been bruised, it is better to send troops to continue to attack the southern line of Feiyun City to the north, on the one hand, to expand the results of the battle, and on the other hand, to force the old man of Feiyun City, let him be surrounded on both sides, and enjoy the feeling of helplessness!" ”

Wu Yunbin listened to it interestingly, and said with a smile: "This is a good intention, but who to send is a problem!" At this moment, for some reason, Wu Liu'er came back again, and the others didn't hear it, but they heard that a soldier was sent to the north, and immediately felt that his whole body was excited, but what he thought about was to transfer the black Tai away, so as not to compete with him for favor in front of his uncle. Hurriedly said: "Uncle uncle! I will raise General Heitai to attack Feiyun City in the north! ”

That An Zhi is a delicate and thorough heart, where he doesn't know what Wu Liu'er thinks, and he doesn't debunk it, but just looks at Wu Liu'er with a smile on the side, as if he thinks what he said is right. Wuyunbin is also old and confused, he is also a character like Chengjing, but he has no heirs, and the juniors in the clan only have such a Chengqi, who is pampered, and thinks about him well in everything, at this time, he feels very relieved, and feels that Wu Liuer can finally think a little more, able to accommodate others, although there is a shortage of talents, but this is also a bit of a general's style, and immediately nodded and smiled: "Well, this is good!" Then send Kurotai to lead his troops to the north to find an opportunity to attack Feiyun City. Oh, the Black Tai Department has suffered heavy losses in the Black Ridge Mountains, so let's mobilize the others

The troops were filled, and two more partial generals were assigned to his command, and then one was transferred from the headquarters of General Wang Jian, and the army was allowed to expand along the road! Well, Hei Tai's position is not high, and I am afraid that he will not be able to mobilize other departments, so he will be promoted to General Fenwei and be in charge of the people of Wudu. Well, it should be almost! ”

Hei Tai didn't expect that in this way, he was not only promoted but also expanded the army, and he was immediately moved to tears, turned over and dismounted, and bowed his head! Wu Liu'er on the side is really angry that it is called seven tricks of smoke, I wanted to estimate that there are thousands of remnants in Hei Tai's hands, and going north is to send him to death, but I didn't expect my uncle to actually promote him to General Fenwei, and there are 20,000 generals in Wudu, what an eccentric uncle, who is your nephew, who is surnamed Wu!

On the ninth day of the siege of the city of Zheyun, inside the city.

Li Jing's wounded 7788 has begun to practice some lighter moves, or train soldiers in the army. There are about 100,000 refugees in the city, and almost all the streets are full. Although this caused a lot of trouble, it made Li Jing's recruitment very smooth. As soon as the recruitment notice came out, tens of thousands of people came!

Although the city lord expanded the eighth capital to four horsemen, there were only nearly 5,000 people, and according to the more than 1,000 people when he entered the city, he could only recruit more than 3,000 people. However, at the moment, the matter was urgent, and he couldn't manage much, so he sent a letter to the Western Army Command, and the next day he decisively recruited many more young people. In just a few days, the eighth capital had nearly 8,000 people, seven horsemen. The excited Li Jing and Yun Changtian, Wang Gou'er, Meng Erdu, Chang Haoxue and Shan Daxia couldn't sleep at night. For the first time, Li Jing had so many soldiers in his hands, so according to the booklet left by General Mingwu, he divided some of the troops into basic services to specialize in training basic skills and improve physical fitness, and some troops as a higher level to specialize in training complex formations. Li Jing changed the fourth cavalry into a shield battalion to train shield soldiers, the fifth cavalry into a spear battalion, the sixth cavalry into a bow and crossbow battalion, and the seventh cavalry into a hussar battalion, collectively known as the reserve battalion, and the first three cavalry were changed to a service battalion. If the army is dispatched, the reserve battalion will be the front, and the service battalion will be the left and right wings, so the combination just solves the shortcomings of the soldiers' frequent transfer, lack of understanding and coordination between the left and right, and also meets the dilemma of small troops attacking, no longer need to draw men and horses from various departments!

Of course, the other capitals were dissatisfied with this move, they were the ones who sent troops to defend the city wall, but it was Li Jing who expanded the army, but Sheyun of the first capital sent a messenger to congratulate him. The other three capitals all sent people to Min Ren to accuse, but for some reason, Min Ren didn't say a word about it, and let the three capitals complain every day, Li Jing saw that Min Ren didn't come forward to stop him, and the food and weapons were supplied according to the real number of people, so he naturally recruited troops with peace of mind. It's just that there are few horses in the city, and the war horses are not enough to supply the battalion, so the cavalry battalion has to do some basic training every day.

Seeing that the camp was fine, Wang Gou'er simply used these people as scouts, and sent hundreds of people to various places in the city every day to inquire about the news. Although there are many secrets in the city, the city is not large, and a few days later, I found out a lot of news and came back.

It turned out that the beggar gang and the three big families in the city wanted to join forces to sell Zheyun City to an alliance outside the city, but the reason why they had not yet acted was that on the one hand, it was heavily guarded, and on the other hand, the negotiations with the outside of the city had not yet been negotiated, and they had to hover for a few days. Wang Gou'er was taken aback when he heard the news, and hurriedly reported it to Li Jing and the others.

Li Jingwan didn't expect the situation to be so bad, and after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. This matter is confidential, and the secret sentry sent out by Wang Gou'er can only hear gossip at most, and why it is so confidential can be inquired.

Yun Changtian smiled on the side: "Li Jing, you don't know anything!" The power of the family, the He family, and the Siyun family here are all over the clouds, to put it mildly, in peacetime, their power is actually greater than the power of the city lord! Min Shuai is just the commander of the Western Army, and most of the grain, grass and ordnance supplied in the army come from the three of them, and the influence of the three of them in the army is actually not small. In the past few years, because Min Shuai captured Zheyun City, the army was all their own people, and in the past few years, they have been bribed, lured, and coerced, and they don't know how many people have fallen to them, and they are willing to be slaves and dogs! Tell me, it's okay for Min Shuai not to move! ”

"If it moves, the day the officers and soldiers enter the mansion will be the time when the city of Zheyun City is broken!" Li Jing said what he said later for Yun Changtian!

Chang Haoxue: "Alas, I didn't expect these people to have their hands and eyes to the sky, and their power has reached such a point. No wonder Min Shuai doesn't advocate dealing with the beggars! ”

Meng Er was stupid: "In this way, we are not going to become roosters in a cage, and we will be caught and killed by others at any time!" ”

Li Jing sneered and said, "Brothers, don't worry, what should I do these days, I have my own way to deal with these giant rats!" ”

Three days later, Wu Liu'er was really tired of the errand of picking up people and sending them away, this Zheyun City did not move at all, and his own credit did not rise at all, that Hei Tai went north to fight and win successes, and it seemed that he would be able to fight under Feiyun City in a few days.

And his errand today is still to inspect the fortifications of various defense lines and receive the envoys stolen from the city, but today's envoys are two people, and they seem to be a little nervous. Wu Liu'er looked interesting, so he asked, "It's usually two people, why do you have one more today?" ”

The one who often comes cowers and doesn't dare to speak, but the new one does things much more openly. immediately responded with a smile: "General Wu, it's almost the same thing that we have talked about, there are many things today, and the old man in the family is afraid that he will not be able to bear it, so he sent me along, and by the way, let me also experience the experience!" ”

Wu Liu'er didn't listen to it at all, what he liked the most was that he was almost there, and he hurriedly asked again: "Oh, then do you want the woodland in Liuyun City, or the coal mine in the west of Wuyun City?" ”

The man smiled when he heard this, and replied: "General Wu is too worried, it's not that I don't dare to tell the general, it's really not a place to talk about things." When you negotiate with the lord of the city, the general can ask whatever you want! ”

Wu Liu'er's face was slightly hot, and he knew that his question was abrupt, so he had to look at himself and said, "I guess you want that woodland because there is a mine below, hehe!" ”

The man didn't answer, but just smiled and looked around.

When he arrived at the camp, Wu Yunbin's eyes traced and described, and he felt that these two people seemed to be more credible, although it seemed that the cost of wanting two mines and the right to expand the size of the caravan was relatively large, but it was also undesirable. The power of these three families is spread throughout the clouds, and if they have the support of the three financial masters, the military salary will inevitably be endless in the future. The Chamber of Commerce of the Three Cities of Dark Clouds is not prosperous, and every time the battle is in the back, it is constrained by military salaries, but the city lord of Feiyun City has close contacts with the Chen family, and he has money in his hands, if he is not bullied and makes too many enemies, where would the Three Cities of Dark Clouds dare to send troops to attack him.

Thinking of this, Wu Yunbin was relieved, glanced at An Zhi who was bowing his head on the side, felt very funny, and asked, "Strategist, what do you think of this discussion?" ”

An Zhi actually felt that it was not much fun to come and go, and it was not much fun to talk about it, but it was just a mine, and now he actually wanted to expand the caravan escort to three thousand people, which was indeed very hateful, but it was not unacceptable, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and suddenly heard the city lord ask him, so he had to bite the bullet and return: "City lord, uh, I think it should be delayed for two days?" ”

Wu Yunbin was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what this meant, but after thinking about it, he estimated that it was prudent and not a big mistake, and immediately said: "It makes no difference if you delay it for two days, forget it, I'm in charge of this matter!" Turning his head, he smiled at the two nervous messengers: "Okay, I agreed to this, and I'm ready to sacrifice the city!" (Just Love)
