Sure enough, things were just as Sun Qilian expected, and the Shanyang Army was implementing a strategy of exhausting troops.

About half an hour later, when everyone had just returned to their dreams, the sound of shouting and killing in the distance suddenly came again, but most of the soldiers in the camp were still asleep in their beds, except for some of them.

For the guards guarding the city, the Shanyang army outside the city was the same as the last time, and they immediately stopped when they were close to the distance of six or seven hundred meters to the city, screamed for a while, and then directly laughed and retreated.

After Sun Qilian, who was rewarded, heard the words, he fell asleep peacefully.

After a while, the three of them got up and muttered in a low voice, "Very good, all ears are plugged, the task is complete!" Immediately, the three of them glanced at each other, and then continued to fall down and continue to sleep.

"I said, what are you doing without resting? The Shanyang army outside the city is clearly playing tricks on us and making us sleep well. Plug your ears, the general said, there is no order, there is no need to go to the city to guard. In the barracks, a soldier looked at many soldiers sitting on the bed and couldn't help but say.

Only then did the soldier who had done it remember the general's military order, and after seeing that the other soldiers were still sleeping, he did the same, plugged his ears, and fell asleep peacefully.

This kind of harassment occurred at least ten times throughout the night.

Outside the city, the Sanyang Army camp.

"General, the defenders of the city are not at a loss, it seems that half of them are defending the city. The remaining half were not guarded in the city. Qin Xiao reported in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun smiled: "This is normal, if the general of the Wuwei Army still doesn't understand, I'm afraid that this city will be lost long ago." ”

Qin Xiao said in a deep voice: "Then when will we attack the city?" ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Wait for the brothers in the city to act, open the city gate and start the siege. Let the whole army begin to move towards the east gate. On the eve of dawn, that's when we act. ”

Inside the city, Dongying.

"Brother Yang, Brother Li, Brother He and Brother Zhang, you are all from the land of Yanzhou, and now, the behavior of the Wuwei Army in the south of Yanzhou, you know best, forcibly conscripting strong men into the army, and there is no settlement fee. The brothers who died in battle have not yet received their bereavement, and it is unknown how many brothers are living and waiting for their only laborers in the family to return home to provide for their families. I don't know how many people are waiting for their families to come home and be reunited. Not to mention the heavy labor and exorbitant taxes in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Armed Guards. Don't hide it from the four brothers, the five of us, are all determined to surrender to the Shanyang Army, we have always had a good relationship, and I hope you will join me in surrendering the city. ”

Yang Zhao hesitated: "Brother Meng, we ...... This ......"

Meng Shang said in a deep voice: "Brother, you know the Shanyang Army, within the jurisdiction of the Shanyang Army, taxes are reduced and exempted, and the land is not distributed to the people, I don't know how much better it is than the Wuwei Army and the Yanzhou Mansion Army, what are we surrendering the Shanyang Army for?" Isn't it just for yourself and your family to have a way to live? If the city is broken by the Sanyang army, we will surrender again, but we will not have such a good chance, maybe we will become prisoners and repair the roads and city walls. One in the sky, the other on the ground, think about it! ”

Zhang Dameng said in a sullen voice: "However, the family members of the brothers are all in Dongzhou, Chenliu, and Xingyang, if we fall, can we take care of the family I don't know, maybe it will bring disaster to them." ”

Meng Shang said coldly: "Lao Zhang, do you think that the Wuwei Army will pay attention to the families of our soldiers?" More than 20,000 people were killed before and after, so it can be seen that they paid attention to the family of a brother? We are not Changli guards, what difference is there between surrendering to the enemy and being captured and surrendering? Besides, you think that this Changli City can be defended, Fengwei County has been captured by the Shanyang Army. The Sanyang Army relied on mountain trails to cross the road. With the means of the Shanyang Army, I am afraid that I can raise tens of thousands of troops in Fengwei County, and I don't know if I can block the Wuwei Army in the south, but if I attack from both sides, this Changli will definitely lose. In addition, even if the Shanyang Army in Fengwei County did not go north, even the Shanyang Army outside the city, we were not an opponent. Look at the soldiers on the city wall who are sleepy. But the soldiers in the camp slept with their heads covered. If the enemy touches the city and enters the city, we don't know it. Four, you are the four leaders of the East Gate defenders, holding most of the eighty horses, now, the Shanyang Army needs you, you have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, if you break the city, you will have nothing. Think about it! ”

He Da, who didn't speak for a long time, said coldly: "Brother Meng, if we don't agree, do you want to kill our brother?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Zhao, Zhang Dameng, and the team surnamed Li changed their faces, and they all held their hands on the hilt of the knife at their waists. But then, they didn't dare to act rashly, because the other party took out a small hand crossbow, and at this moment, they were pointing at them in unison.

Meng Shang waved his hand, reassuring the four brothers behind him with the crossbow arrows in their hands, and said with a smile: "Of course not, I naturally won't attack the brothers at will, but I want the four of you to stay in this tower for the time being." Except for the four of you, there are not a few of you who are willing to surrender. ”

After a while, He Da said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll descend." Brother Meng, are you the person who was installed by the Shanyang Army? ”

Meng Shang shook his head and said, "No, but the Shanyang Army has contacted me, and I don't want to serve the Wuwei Army." Alright, four, since you are also willing to surrender, then deal with the remaining seventy or eighty people and those who are not cronies in each team. ”

Subsequently, the four teams took the lead in solving the problem of Qu Chang, who was lazy and hid in the city tower to sleep, and then used Qu Chang's military order to deal with those who were not on their side one by one.

"Alright, shake the torches and open the gates!" Looking at the remaining nearly four hundred soldiers, Meng Shang smiled secretly and said in a deep voice.

Outside the east gate, a few miles away. Because of the dark sky before dawn, the silent defenders could not see clearly from hundreds of meters away.

"General, there's a signal at the city gate!" Qin Xiao said excitedly.

"Forward, be careful!" Zhao Xun was secretly happy in his heart, and ordered in a cold voice.

Squeaky ......

The city gate of the east gate finally opened slowly.

"Go on, take over the city gates, and report the situation immediately!" Qin Xiao said coldly.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers quietly rushed into the east gate, and then took over the east gate.

Seeing that there was no abnormality, Zhao Xun said coldly: "The whole army entered the city, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, all the way to the county office, and took over the treasury in the city. The other two roads go straight to the West Gate and the South Gate. ”

After the 4,000 troops entered the city gate, the defenders of the city had not yet discovered it, and it was finally when the front army marched into the city that they encountered the enemy patrol soldiers, and the two sides began to meet officially.

"Kill!" The identity was revealed, and the army that had been slowly moving forward also began to accelerate and march rapidly towards the destination.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

"Those who descend will not die!" All kinds of slogans sounded in the city in an instant, and torches lit up the dark night, and the city suddenly turned red.

"General...... General ......"

Sun Qilian, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the shouts of the guards outside the door.

"What's wrong?" He asked sharply as he rolled over and got up.

"General Huiyu, the Shanyang Army has entered the city! Our army is losing ground one after another. ”

"What?" Sun Qi pushed open the door of the house at once, but did not continue to ask, the red fire in the city and the fierce shouts of killing had proved it.

"How did they get into town?"

"Entering from the east gate, because the soldiers in the barracks were ordered to rest, most of them blocked their ears in order to avoid being awakened, and now, the camp in the east of the city and the camp in the south of the city have been conquered by the Shanyang army, and two thousand soldiers of our army have surrendered. General, let's leave quickly, it's too late. ”

Hearing what the guards said, Sun Qi's eyes darkened, his body shook a few times, and he almost fainted to the ground. Speaking of which, it is still their own responsibility.

"Immediately straighten out the manpower, let's go ......" Sun Qilian was stunned for a moment, and now, he found that he had nowhere to go. More than half of the 5,000 soldiers in the city have been dropped, the south gate has been lost, the east gate has been taken, and the north is the territory of the Shanyang army, so they can only go west.

"Let's go to Simon ......"

Before Sun Qilian finished speaking, a guard outside the door hurriedly rushed in and said urgently: "General Qiqi, the defenders of the West Gate have surrendered to the enemy and have been lost." ”

"This ...... General, we will mingle with the people, and we will go out of the city tomorrow. The captain of the guard said in a trembling voice.

"Kill...... Break through the county government and capture the enemy generals alive! ”

"Break through the county government and capture the enemy generals alive!"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing came from outside the county office, followed by the screams of the fierce battle between his own soldiers and the Shanyang army.

"Forget it, let the brethren lay down their arms and surrender, we have no way out." Sun Qi said with a wry smile.

"Yes......"

That night, after three days of siege, the Shanyang army in the north of Changli County conquered it, and the defenders surrendered.
