"Report ...... Report to your lordship, the west gate has been broken by the enemy, and more than 2,000 enemy troops have entered the city! "While waiting for news above the south gate, the information from the west of the city finally came.

Obviously, the results are not good news. For a while, everyone on the city wall felt a chill all over their bodies.

"Damn! Their people are clearly in front of us, why are there two thousand? Li Quchang, Li led the army to go, can he stop the enemy from outside? The county magistrate said with a shocked face.

Qu Chang, surnamed Li, had a bitter face, and said astringently: "My lord, we only have five hundred people here, even if we send them all, I'm afraid it will be useless." In addition, we have 2,000 enemy troops in front of us. I'm just afraid ......"

Suicheng County Ling's face was hideous, he knew what the other party was talking about, but he was afraid that Suicheng would not be protected. He asked in a muffled voice, "You want to surrender to the enemy?" ”

"Fight to the death with the enemy!" Qu Chang, surnamed Li, said in a loud voice. He had already listened to the soldiers who had fled back from Siyang City, and all the captured officers of the Siyang City garrison had been beheaded. And he himself is in this rank, surrender is death, and not surrender is death. If you don't want to fight, you can also learn what this government army that disturbs the surrounding is like.

"Roar...... Die......"

Li Guochang let out a tiger roar, and the long knife in his hand slashed down with a thunderous momentum, beheading a Tang Army officer who tried to resist on the spot, and then shouted loudly: "Put down your weapon!" Rao Er can't wait! ”

"Put down your weapons! Rao Er can't wait! ”

Seeing Shangguan's momentum, the soldiers under his command howled angrily as they brandished their weapons, and the blood beads on the weapons flowed down the weapons to their heads and bodies, looking extremely hideous, like a group of evil ghosts.

The song that had just supported the past was defeated like this, defeated cleanly, and defeated speechlessly. It's a plan, just now the county commander is still using a plan to break the city, and as a result, it's a plan here!

"Open the gates and fight to the death!" Seeing that the shouting and killing sound from the west gate was getting closer and closer, Qu Chang, surnamed Li, roared angrily. At this moment, what is the point of guarding the city gates?

"Haha...... We don't have to attack the city, the gates open themselves! Brothers, kill me! ”

…………

"How?"

"The damage is not large, there are only more than 300 people, and there are many injured, but they have been properly resettled! There is Lu language in the treasury that is being verified, but it should not be as big as Siyang City! Li Guochang, who had completed the aftermath, reported in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "At that time, of course, Siyang City just allowed us to capture the materials of the army of 10,000 people, which is naturally extraordinary. Replenish grain and grass, in addition, like Siyang City, distribute food, which must be completed tonight. Let the probe horses spread out for twenty miles, and watch out for the movements around them. ”

"Guan Lin, find some ordinary people in the city, and first liquidate those big households who surrendered to the enemy army before the Tang army captured this place. Keeping them is also to strengthen the Tang Army. Kill them, and also give a warning to the big families in other places. Zhao Xun said coldly.

"Don't worry, general, your subordinates will do it."

"Qin Xiao, I didn't let you participate in the war this time, I don't have merit, you won't mind!" Looking at Qin Xiao, who was standing on the side, silent, Zhao Xun said with a smile.

Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "My subordinates know that my lords don't want my subordinates to participate in the war against the former subordinate army, how can I blame them!" The subordinates also want to thank the adults for their understanding. ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, I know that fighting with the Tang Army will make it difficult for you, so I let you be in charge of logistics." Anyway, the first credit in the battle of Siyang City is you, and you don't have to worry about this. Work under me, regardless of the source, only ask about ability. ”

Qin Xiao said repeatedly: "The merits of Siyang City, subordinates dare not take it. The general took the first credit, and the brothers fought hard, so naturally they worked hard and made great achievements. The subordinates are just using an identity. ”

Zhao Xun waved his hand and said, "How can you say that?" If we don't have your identity, we're afraid that we won't be able to take Siyang City, and even if we do, it will be a heavy price. You deserve it. ”

Li Guochang also said in a deep voice on the side: "Captain Qin doesn't need to shirk, Siyang City deserves the first merit!" ”

Seeing this, Qin Xiao responded to the order, and he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now, he is considered to be integrated into the army. Although he joined the government army after the defeat, he was not recognized by the original government army. At the very least, many of the soldiers did not approve of him. was appointed by Zhao Xun as one of the four lieutenants, but he was not recognized by other officers, and now he wants to take over a meritorious service, how dare he. Now that Li Guochang has spoken, it means that the other captains also agree.

"Arrange for the soldiers to have a good rest, and after emptying the treasury in the city, wait for the transfer."

"The general wants to divert these Tang troops around."

"Hmmm! It is difficult for us to deal with a frontal battle, after all, this is the territory of the Tang Army, and we can be replenished with materials and troops at any time. Our purpose is to delay the actions of the Tang Army's front-line army against Boping and Shanyang Mansion. Let's see, the Tang Army can withstand such a last. I just don't know what's going on at the front now? Qin Xiao, you are a front-line lieutenant of the Tang Army, and you should be familiar with their right general. You say, if this Meng Zhao gets the grain and grass materials and is robbed, how will he react? Do you retreat immediately, encircle us, or ......," Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

Qin Xiao said in a deep voice: "In the opinion of his subordinates, if Meng Zhao gets the news, he will fight with all his strength, and it is best to take Boping, if not, he will immediately turn back, and then encircle and suppress us, after all, he still has a burden of ......" Saying this, Qin Xiao did not continue. Although he knew that the general should know the purpose of Meng Zhao's southern expedition, otherwise, he would not have brought Shanyang Mansion under his command and directly dismissed the left-behind general Hu Zhi. Hu Zhike was a person close to Xu Jie, and he was sent to Shanyang Mansion to cooperate with the Tang army's actions.

Zhao Xun put Qin Xiao's expression on his face, and he knew what he was afraid of. I know it, but Li Guochang next to me doesn't necessarily know.

"I hope the news I sent back will help!" Zhao Xun said in a low voice. It is useless to be in the rear of the enemy's army, no matter how concerned and anxious you are about the front line.

"Come on, call Lu Yu and Guan Lin back!" Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice, at this moment, he was going to have a showdown with the three captains. After all, what he is doing now and what he will do in the future is to part ways with Xu Jie.

A moment later, Guan Lin and Lu Yu arrived at the county office.

"I've seen the general! I don't know what the general's order is? The subordinates have not yet finished counting the treasury, so they cannot report the actual figures. Lu Yu said first.

"It's okay, we'll postpone that later. Now, General Ben has a very important thing to tell you, the three of you are brothers who followed General Ben from birth to death and killed in the rear of the enemy army, and this matter should also be told to you. No matter what you guys think? How to do it in the future, but we are all brothers who have been born and died together. The four of you do it first! Zhao Xun said calmly.

"Guard, from now on, no one is allowed to enter without the order of General Ben!"

"Obey!" The guards went out to close the door and stationed outside.

Seeing that Zhao Xun was so cautious, Guan Lin and the three of them deeply felt that what the general said had a lot to do with it.

…………

Bopin!

Night fell, but the shouting and killing on the walls did not stop. From the morning to the present, the Tang army's attack was extremely fierce, and even the regular army of the Tang army, which rarely stormed the city wall, also appeared in the siege sequence, and all kinds of siege equipment emerged in an endless stream. Several times, they were almost stormed. Even Ye Xuan, who was slightly better, personally carried a knife into battle, which boosted a lot of morale.

"General Ye, is this Tang army crazy, the attack power has been a day, and it doesn't know how to stop?" Zhang Ting, who simply nibbled on two mouthfuls of bread during the battle, said tiredly, and his right arm was red.

"Are you hurt? How's it going? Ye Xuan looked at Zhang Ting's right arm, which was still bleeding, and asked with a worried face.

Zhang Ting chuckled and said, "A small injury, compared to the general, this is nothing!" I just don't know what this Tang Jun wants to do? Attack the city like crazy! ”

Ye Xuan's face was dark, he naturally knew that Tang Jun was going to Yanzhou to join Xu Jie in order to take this place as much as possible. Of course, it's not that easy now. Shanyang Mansion, which could have become a thoroughfare, has now fallen into the hands of Feng Ziming, and it will definitely not make this Tang army feel better. But this matter will naturally not be told to Zhang Ting, otherwise it will lead to unpredictable consequences.

"By the way, it's been more than five days since your lieutenant left, why hasn't you heard back yet? It won't be ......" Seeing that Ye Xuan didn't know what he was thinking, Zhang Ting shifted the topic to Li Feng again.

"You mean, they ran away? I don't think so! I understand Li Feng, he is not this kind of person. Besides, he doesn't want us to lose here, and he will never abandon the city and flee! Ye Xuan said in a deep voice. He knew what Tang Jun's purpose was, and he also knew that this Li Feng was Feng Ziming's subordinate, and Feng Ziming was now on the opposite side of Tang Jun and Xu Jie. Like themselves, they have no way to retreat, they can only block the invasion of the Tang army, and they can't tell the story. Without any help from Xu Jie, they are now unable to retreat. Ye Xuan believed that if Shanyang Mansion was lost, Xu Jie would not hesitate to put him and Feng Ziming to death, and put the blame on the two of them.

At that time, the Yanzhou army would naturally not start a war with two enemies at the same time. Then, the alliance with the Tang Army is the only choice, and the need for such a choice is not Xu Jie's initiative, but the request of the generals under his command and the wealthy families in the territory.

"General, my lord! The enemy is killing again! ”

"Give me a resist, I don't believe it, we occupy the danger of the city, and we can't help them. The enemy army is more tired than us, and we hold on and see who can hold out to the end. Zhang Ting immediately got up, waved his knife to meet the battle, and shouted loudly.

Li Feng ...... What the hell are you doing? Why hasn't this happened now? Could it be that your hope Boping has fallen? Ye Xuan thought about it secretly, and then swung his knife to meet it.

In the rear of the Tang Army, Meng Zhao, the right general of the Tang Army, had a gloomy and terrible face at the moment. His eyes stared at the city wall not far away. Originally, I thought that this time I would lead the army south, it would be smooth sailing. In fact, it is. The Liangzhou Mansion was quickly taken by him, and immediately after, his good fortune seemed to have come to an end, and he was at a stalemate in this Boping.

But it was nothing, and the early morning report did give him a blow to the head, and he was dizzy and wanted to vomit blood. The supply of the army was looted by the remnants of the government army, which was surprised but did not pay attention to it, and also took the rear to reach Siyang City. At first, when he saw the news, he was a little dumbfounded, but then he saw Wumeng's detailed report.

is a small general, but it makes it easy for a heavy city in the rear to lose the opponent. If it weren't for the killing of the guard and the magistrate, he really wanted to break them into pieces.

After the report, he also knew another important reason for the loss of the city, that is, after occupying the Liangzhou Mansion, the county guards did not follow the prescribed procedures. If the Siyang City Guard asked Qin Xiao for a warrant to go north to meet the grain and grass supplies, how could he easily let the other party enter the city? If his warrant is asked, how can the garrison guarding the food and grass be captured?

He doesn't have time to deal with that now, and he's now worried about how he's going to get things done. The task of taking Shanyang Mansion and joining Xu Jie, is unlikely. However, he also hoped to take Boping Castle and then go south to Shanyang Mansion after receiving new additions.

If you evacuate directly this time, then the next time you come, Boping City will be even more difficult to fight. Therefore, this time he desperately wanted to take the city.

If you want to say who Meng Zhao hates the most at the moment, it must be Li Feng. Even Zhang Ting, the captain of the Boping City garrison in front of him, is also far behind.

The three lieutenants looked at the soldiers who kept falling, and their hearts were like knives. But what can be done? If you can pull out this nail at this moment, the next action will be a flat river. But if you can't take it, it's harder next time. Looking at the extremely gloomy general, the three lieutenants did not advise, they knew that at this moment, it was useless to say anything, and taking Boping was also the best way.

"Attack! Send me all the soldiers who were on duty before! Meng Zhao looked at the crumbling but steady as the city wall of Mount Tai, and ordered coldly.

"General, the subordinate army has not eaten for most of the day, and the morale of the soldiers has fallen to a low point because of the dead and wounded. General, let's attack the city again tomorrow! Captain Yi said in a deep voice. He was the captain of the new annexed army, and the new attached army was forced to attack the city for many days, even more so today, but now, they really didn't want to fight anymore.

"Warlords! Send it out for me, and whoever retreats will be killed! Those who do not obey military orders will be killed! Pass the order to go down, break through Boping City, and indulge for three days! Meng Zhao ignored the captain's request and gave the order sharply. Tomorrow? Where can I wait for tomorrow?

"My lord, the left, right, and the first three pieces have all been killed, and the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to hold on!" On the city wall, the Tang army began to climb to the top of the city.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it! Brethren! How many enemy troops have we killed today? If the city is broken, do you know what the outcome will be? I didn't listen to their shouts, and after the city was broken, the army indulged for three days. How many people will survive in the city by then? Look behind you, how many of the brothers' families are here? Zhang Ting roared in a bloody voice, his hoarse voice becoming more and more desolate.

"General Right, our army has captured the city!" In the rear of the Tang army, Meng Zhao's personal guards said happily.

"Beat the drums, work harder, tonight, we are going to rest in the city!" Meng Zhao's gloomy face was slightly relaxed.

"No, no, is Boping broken, just tonight?" Zhang Ting, who had been slashed in the leg, sat on the ground and said breathlessly.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

At that moment, there was a trumpet and a roar from the southern sky.

"What's going on?" Meng Zhao asked sharply. But then he looked at the south, and suddenly his face was bloody. It seems that in order to attack the city, he did not send anyone to pay attention to the situation on the south side. And the three captains around Meng Zhao were even more ugly, and they seemed to have forgotten about the others because of today's strong attack on Boping.

"Look, Southern Skyrim! There's a fire there! What a long fire! On the city wall, a soldier exclaimed.

"At that time, the torches, brothers, are reinforcements, and the reinforcements from Shanyang Mansion have arrived!" When an old pawn saw it, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Brothers, reinforcements have arrived, kill these bastards for me!"

"Kill!" The defenders of the city erupted in an earth-shattering roar, which immediately suppressed the Tang army that had just arrived at the head of the city.

And behind the Tang army's formation, Meng Zhao's eyes were about to drip blood, and they were red and red.

"Report ...... General, in the southeast, south, and southwest directions, a large group of non-commissioned officers suddenly appeared, totaling no less than 10,000 people, and they were already less than five miles away from us! "The scout horse who was urgently dispatched reported the news of the inquiry.

"General...... Withdraw your troops and return to camp! Captain Chen Chang whispered.

"Withdraw!" Meng Zhao roared angrily.

"Poof......" Immediately after, Meng Zhao sprayed a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

"General......
