Twisting his beard and thinking about it, Fang Jiguang said: "Maybe the reinforcements have come but they are blocked by the rogues and can't get over, maybe it's halfway there, maybe it's ......."

After listening to these nonsense that were not nonsense, Jin Shou was not easy to talk to, so he had to smile bitterly in return. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Everyone, get ready...... The rogues have come up again......" several lookouts shouted in a loud and mournful voice.

Holding his fists and bowing, Jin Shou said: "Your Excellency, pay attention to safety, and the next official will go to command the defense of the city." With that, he strode away. Looking at his distant back, listening to the shouts and drums of the siege soldiers under the city, Fang Jiguang said in his heart: "This world is too chaotic, it is not safe to be an official in the south and the north, this time, Lao Tzu resigned from the official position, and took Lao Tzu's 400,000 taels of silver and nine wives and concubines to hide in a safer place in the south to be a rich man." The life and death of the people, the survival of the court, doing their own, whether they can fight or not, staying in the mountains and rivers, indulging in lust, this is the life of people. ”

Thinking of this, he smirked. Smiling and smiling, he thought of a key question, his face changed suddenly, and he thought to himself: "What if the city can't hold it?" Is it down? Or not down? If he descends, he is a thief, and the court will not spare his family and parents, and if he does not surrender, he will be killed by the rogue, and he will not die......"

The Ming court punished the civil and military officials who defected to the enemy very severely, and sometimes implicated their parents and children, so when the Ming officials could not hold the city, most of them would rather abandon the city and flee than surrender. Although abandoning the city and fleeing will also be punished, it will not implicate their parents and children, and the treatment of civil and military officials is also different, in order to avoid generals leading troops to the enemy.

Often, generals who have soldiers in their opponents just lightly punish them. And this has caused the generals to preserve their strength, fear the enemy and avoid the situation of the situation, especially in the battle with the Tartars, this situation occurs in large numbers, many generals are defeated when they hear the news, they have no courage to fight, and when the friendly troops are surrounded, they wait and see, and sit back and watch the friendly troops be wiped out by the Tartars.

"Down? No drop? …… No drop? Fall? …… Fall? No drop? ...... "There was a fierce struggle in his heart, and it was still difficult for him to make a decision after thinking about it.

Not to mention that Fang Jiguang, the magistrate of Macheng, is making a difficult decision in the city, and the loyal and brave corps is on the way to Macheng. Everyone walked silently. "Captain, since we have turned against that Xiong Wencan dog officer, why should we follow his orders to save that Macheng?" Cheng Chong asked puzzled.

"Yes......" Zhang Shun also echoed. Lu Qing, the staff officer of the army, Niu Huan, the captain of the scout team, and Liu Youtian, the deputy captain of the scout, were also listening to Zhao Guohua's explanation.

Glancing at everyone, Zhao Guohua said: "Since I am against him Xiong Wencan, I will not listen to his orders anymore, but I want to ask everyone, our team of more than 7,000 people, we can't eat or drink, we can't sleep, so we have to find a place to stay, and the current war in Macheng is tight, and we are ordered to reinforce, even if we occupy Macheng, then Xiong Wencan will not know that we have rebelled, with the help of this place, we recruit troops and horses, expand our strength, and when he knows that we have turned against him, We are not where we are now. This is called borrowing a chicken to lay eggs. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! The captain's strategy of borrowing chickens and laying eggs is really wonderful, and I admire it! Admire! Lu Qing smiled and bowed respectfully and said.

"I see!" Niu Huan and Zhang Shun said happily.

Looking at Zhao Guohua, Liu Youtian said: "This Captain Zhao is thoughtful and precise, follow him, he will definitely make a career, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, men are afraid of entering the wrong line, I will follow him." ”

After walking for a while, I could already faintly hear the shouts of the siege, and then I saw two horsemen galloping in the distance, "Hide." As he spoke, Zhao Guohua made a gesture, and everyone dispersed at once.

Soon the two of them approached, "Don't move!" Hundreds of people shouted, surrounded them, surrounded the two in the middle, the two people on the horse reined in the horse, looked at the people who surrounded themselves, saw that they were wearing black and blue uniform uniforms, holding spears, some people also holding firearms, strong bodies, full of energy, look at the clothes are not officers and soldiers, but not like other peasant army messy dress, after a little thought, one of them hugged his fists with a smile on his face and said: "The two little ones are the messengers under Lao Huihui, who were ordered to go to Macheng to pass the order and the young marshal, I don't know which way your troops are?" ”

"We are ......" Niu Huan was about to say, Zhao Guohua said: "Captain Niu, you step down and let me speak." ”

"Yes!" Niu Huan raised his right hand and saluted, and withdrew. The two messengers glanced at Niu Huan curiously.

Glancing at the two messengers, Zhao Guohua said, "What are you doing in Macheng?" ”

"Who are you? …… Is it King Li Chuang, or the Eight Kings, Zhang Xianzhong, or Cao Cao's people? A messenger asked suspiciously, his eyes still "purring" and looking at the Loyal Warriors.

Smiling, Zhao Guohua said: "No, we are going to seize Macheng." ”

"Huh? They want to eat black, run! So saying, he was about to rush out, but it was too late, and soon the two were dragged off their horses.

Pressing the two to the ground and kneeling, Zhao Guohua asked coldly, "Do you want to die or live?" ”

"I want to live! I want to live! The two messengers said in unison.

Glancing at the two of them, Zhao Guohua ordered: "Separate the two, inquire carefully, and if there is any concealment, kill both." So the two were taken away and asked about the situation.

"Captain, the situation has been clarified, both of them said the same, these two people were ordered by Lao Huihui to inform his second son Ma Bo, telling Ma Bo to withdraw if he can't attack it. Don't over-break your soldiers and siege engines. Lu Qing and Zhang Shun reported.

After listening to Lu Qing and Zhang Shun's reports, after thinking for a while, Zhao Guohua said, tie up the two of them, and move forward quickly, striving to rush to the battlefield when the city is not broken, so that we can achieve the greatest results. ”

"Captain, why did we rush to the battlefield before the city was broken? Isn't it early or late? Niu Huan asked curiously.

Glancing at Niu Huan, Zhao Guohua said, "You let Staff Officer Lu talk to you." After speaking, he glanced at Lu Qing with a smile.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's too early, the Liukou army hasn't captured Macheng yet, if we go, it will ruin their good deeds, they will attack us, it's too late, the Liukou has occupied the city, we will take great effort to take it, and when it will be broken, the Liukou will see the victory in hand, and the defense will be loosened. This is called the praying mantis catching cicadas and the yellow finch is behind. ”

"Oh! I see! Only then did Niu Huan understand.

On the city wall of Macheng County, there are fewer and fewer soldiers and people who can stand, the arrows have been shot out, the rolling wood and thunder stones have been used up, looking at the Liukou who are gathering ants under the city, everyone understands that the city is broken, and Fang Ji, the county magistrate of Macheng, went down the city wall with a bare face, and came to the back hall of the county ya, sat in a daze, did not move, wanted to run and ran, wanted to commit suicide and had no courage, wanted to surrender to the Liukou and was afraid of implicating his parents and family, it can really be said that there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

"Master, let's run, we don't want to die......" Several young concubines cried and wailed.

Fang Jiguang was furious when he heard this, and he scolded, "Run? Where to run? It's full of rogues out there, and they run out and die faster...... You're going to have your fucking head squeezed in the door to say that......"

"It's all your fault...... It's all your fault, if it weren't for you, a few people from the slave family wouldn't have come here to die......" Saying that, a few young concubines grabbed him and fought, and the county government was in chaos.

A hundred paces away from the city wall, Ma Bo was giving a lecture, and he said loudly: "Brothers, after a few days of attack, Macheng is already the fruit of our tree that is about to fall to the ground, as long as we stretch out our hands, we will hold it in the palm of our hands...... Rush ah......"

"Rush...... Rush, ......," the peasant army shouted, carrying the ladder of the siege and rushing towards the wall

Looking at the subordinates who were stepping on the ladder and climbing the city wall, thinking that Macheng would soon be the food on the plate, Ma Bo smiled with satisfaction.

"Young marshal, according to the Malay report, there is a pair of centaurs not far away who are approaching us, and it seems that they are not good." One of his leaders ran over to give a report.

"Who is it? Is it an officer and soldier? Ma Bo asked, looking at the little leader.

The little leader hurriedly said, "It's not an officer ...... soldier."

"Who are you if it's not an officer or soldier?" Marbo glared at him and asked.

"This ...... I can't tell, but I'll call you to ask about it. So saying, the little leader hurried away.

Soon, a few probes were brought over.

Glancing at these probes, Ma Bo asked, "I heard that the team that forced over is not an officer or soldier, who is it, have you found out?" ”

"Young Marshal, it is true that the team is not officers and soldiers, we have never seen the clothes they wear, they are black and blue, the clothes are very neat, and they are not like the subordinates of King Li Chuang and the Eight Great Kings, let alone Cao Cao's subordinates."

Hearing this, more than a dozen big and small leaders under Ma Bo present all fell into deep thought, guessing the origin of this team that suddenly appeared.

"How many of them are there? Are there cavalry," Marpo asked.

Several scouts glanced at each other, and a man in his thirties who looked like a leader said, "Young marshal, there are about 7,000 of them. There were also cavalry, the ranks were very well-organized, and we did not dare to get too close. ”

"Damn, there are only 7,000 people, I'm afraid of his ball, let's kill him and see, if there is no malice, the wells and rivers will not offend each other, and if you want to grab food from the tiger's mouth, you will destroy them." Zhang Sigou said.
