Yingzhou City, the capital of Yanzhou Prefecture, the last stronghold of the Yan army in Yanzhou Prefecture.

Yingzhou City, the city is high and the pool is thick, but it still can't reassure the five thousand defenders, their hearts are like snowflakes falling in the cold winter, cold...... Cold......

Not everyone is not afraid of death, not everyone is willing to die, especially those who are accustomed to spending all day and wine, dogs and horses, and those who are used to standing on a high place and looking down on all living beings are not willing to die.

It takes courage to die, but most people don't have it.

Four thousand iron horsemen gathered outside the city of Yingzhou, Gangzi Battalion, Xinzi Battalion, and Guzi Battalion, these former novices, in the fierce battle for several months, grew up step by step and became a qualified Huolin Army soldier. At the same time, on the sides of the three cavalry battalions, there were still cavalrymen who had been wrapped in iron armor, like steel fortresses. It can only be seen from the white breath constantly exhaled from the mouths and noses of people and war horses that they are living people, otherwise, I would think that they are all cold sculptures.

At this moment, all the soldiers are more willing to fight into the city, if not for anything else, but for their own rank to rise one level. Although the division of the Yingzhou Prefecture has not yet begun, they have already received the news. Among them, the captain of the cavalry battalion has also become a captain, and as for the level of rank, it will be divided in detail after the military verification department verifies the merits.

In addition to these 4,000 cavalry, there are 5,000 foot soldiers, these are the newly built Houfu army, and together with the cavalry battalion, they mainly attack the west gate, and the north and south gates are flanked, leaving only the east gate to ignore it. However, the army did not dare to flee from the east gate, because the east was the territory of the army, and there was only a dead end if they went.

The officers and soldiers of the three armies gathered outside the city, silently, but it made the city of Yingzhou chaotic, the pressure was too great, and the reinforcements did not arrive, so it can be said that it was basically a dead end.

"General Wumeng, you are the defender of Yingzhou City, what should we do now? You should come up with a charter, should we just wait? You know, today, in Yanzhou Mansion, in addition to these 9,000 troops, there are also 5,000 infantry troops, if they also reach, we will be finished, there is no chance? Rathu said urgently.

Umon glanced at Luo Du and said with a disdainful smile, "Opportunity? What chances? A chance to surrender? ”

Luo Du and a few people's faces froze, what Wumeng said was right, there was indeed a chance to surrender, the Huolin Army had already secretly contacted him, as long as he surrendered, he could also take his hundred personal guards and leave Yingzhou City. Otherwise, the city of Yingzhou will be broken. There was no one left behind. Seriously, Luo Du didn't want to die, there were still a lot of days waiting for him to enjoy, how could he die here like this?

But now Umeng's attitude is very strange, neither talking about counterattacking, nor escaping, let alone surrendering, and it seems that he does not look at the enemy outside.

"Rest assured! The Huolin Army has not prepared siege equipment, which means that they have no intention of attacking the city at all, so you don't need to be anxious. Besides, the last time the Huolin Army besieged the city for seven or eight days, didn't it end up without a problem! ”

A day passed like this, and the Huolin army outside the city did not withdraw, but camped there, as if they were going to stay until the city of Yingzhou was breached.

This time, the Zuofu army was stationed in the locality, and while eliminating the remnants of the bandits, it assisted the county officials in stabilizing the localities and implementing the new policy. However, Li Chenfeng, the general of the Zuofu Army, rushed to the outside of Yingzhou City to command the battle.

"It seems that the Warrior Army is not in a hurry, and yes, we have not prepared siege equipment, and the leader of the Warrior Army must be able to see it. The Tomorrow Foot Barracks takes turns cutting down trees and making ladders. Grab the people in the city and get ready for action, and by the way, those servants will also be connected, and let them help when the time comes. After the city was destroyed, we regretted to clear their name. If they refuse to cooperate, after the city is broken, they will be the enemy, and they will be killed! ”

"By the way, starting tomorrow, a notice will be sent to the city, and those who are willing to surrender, and those who are more than a thousand people can take a hundred of their subordinates to leave. Anyone who kills the defenders of Yingzhou City can leave with their family property. If the soldier kills him, he will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver, and he can leave freely. ”

"Let the ministries speed up their actions, we have been preparing for half a month, and it should be over. Let the two sides start to act, and we will do our best to take Yingzhou City. By the way, put pressure on that Radus. ”

On the second day, the Huolin Army was still like this, but today was very different compared to yesterday. Some of the Huolin army was busy in the distance, as if they were making a ladder, and some of the soldiers were constantly shooting arrows into the city walls. Although the Evil Army resisted with all their might, with the protection of their shields, the Fire Lin Army still shot notices into the city intermittently.

When Umeng saw the content of the notice, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he could even see the special light of that scene in the eyes of the soldiers around him. Umeng was a little disheartened, because he saw the distrust, and saw a hint of murderous intent. He knew that there were some junior officers who were tempted.

A bunch of stupid pigs, you think you'll surrender by killing me? Can you get what you want? Umon sneered and turned to leave. The junior officer just thought about it and didn't dare to make a move, but he didn't notice that Luo Du not far away also looked at Umon viciously. Luo Du didn't want to continue fighting, and the matter in front of him was obvious, the Yan Army was not the opponent of the Fire Lin Army.

Subsequently, Luo Du, who returned to the house, immediately contacted the contact person of the Huolin Army in the city to discuss with him, saying that Wumeng had gone crazy. He said that he would cooperate with the Huolin Army, as long as the money Huolin Army let him go back. In this regard, the Huolin Army naturally agreed. It is better to let such a person go back, and it is far better to let him go back than to let a smart and capable general of the Yan army go back. Perhaps, such a person will be able to serve the Fire Lin Army next time.

On the evening of the fourth day of the siege, it was only ten days before the end of the year.

Suddenly, Wumeng, who was in the big camp commander's tent, heard the noise in the whole city, and suddenly his heart gradually fell into the abyss.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tanma to report: "Report! My lord, the servants are all in rebellion, and I don't know where they got their weapons, and they are frantically attacking our soldiers. ”

"Don't panic, the servant army is only two thousand, and we have five thousand, let the soldiers fight back immediately, completely annihilate this group of bastards, and kill them all. Damn, they have all their weapons down, why would they have? ”

"Report! My lord...... Big things are wrong! Lord Rodus opened the gates of the city and set the fire into the city.

Wumeng, who had not yet walked out of the camp, was stunned when he heard this, and almost fell to the ground, and shouted bitterly for a while: "Luodu, you bastard, I am guarding the territory for your family, but you ...... That's it! Pass the order, and if you are willing to surrender, surrender! If you are willing to fight with me and the Fire Lin Army, come with me! ”

Luo Du opened the city gate with a part of his people, and the Huolin army outside the city swarmed in, making it difficult for the Yan army that was encircling and suppressing the servant army to accept it for a while. Not only that, but some big families also saw the opportunity to come, and took advantage of the situation to take the guards and relatives, and also participated in the wailing of the war horses, the roar of the soldiers, accompanied by the slightest rain of blood, resounded through the sky......

That night, Yingzhou City, the last city of Yingzhou Mansion, finally fell into the hands of the Huolin Army, and Yingzhou Mansion completely returned to the hands of Yan State. Wumeng, the defender of Yingzhou City, was killed in battle, and except for a very few people who were pardoned by the Huolin Army and were able to leave, the rest were all killed. In this battle, there were no prisoners, and they were completely killed by the people of Yingzhou City. If nothing else, it was six or seven people who froze to death during the heavy snowfall, and the cotton clothes of these six or seven thousand people were robbed by the Yan army......

"Someone is coming, immediately fly the pigeon to send a message, tell Lord Sù that Yingzhou City has been down, and now Yingzhou Mansion is already the Huolin Army!" Li Chenfeng laughed.

"Good! The adults said that they would take back the Yingzhou capital before the Chinese New Year, and now it is finally done. We can also give an explanation to Lord Dutong, Luo Qi, the commander of the solid character battalion who is covered in red and bright, said with a smile.

Li Chenfeng said to the middle-aged man in his forties: "Lord Fu Yin, from now on, the political affairs of Yingzhou Mansion will be handed over to you. ”

This middle-aged man is Yin Fengguo, the governor of Yingzhou, Feng Guo said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, I don't know how to fight, but to govern the place, Feng's old bones can still be tried." ”
