Ding Mianchen chuckled, not afraid of the sword on his neck, the more he laughed, the muscles on his neck trembled slightly.

He Zhou stepped back his sword slightly, very puzzled by his sudden boldness.

"Boring and boring", more than a dozen Jingwei stepped forward without notice, and when they saw He Zhou putting the sword on Ding Mianchen's neck, they flew forward, pulled out the matching sword, and surrounded He Zhou. The six relatives around He Zhou greeted him with a tense sword.

Ding Mianchen reprimanded: "Lord He is the head of Longyan, how can you be so rude to him and not step aside?" Looking at the young man at the head, he said, "Xiaoyi, have you taken back what I want?" ”

Ding Xiaoyi took out a book and said, "Zeng Zhi's house really has the secret order of Zongzheng Xunda. Ignoring He Zhou's sword, he handed the secret order to Ding Mianchen.

He Zhou knew that most of Longyan City was already under the control of the local clan, and if there was no determination to break the net, the two sides still needed to discuss it well, sighed secretly, took back the sword, and said: "What does the county king say in the secret order?" ”

Ding Mianchen said angrily: "It's really not what I expected. He handed the secret order to He Zhou and said, "Lord He, you can see for yourself." ”

He Zhou hurriedly read the secret order and said, "The king of the county really wants to cede Longyan to Gongliang Youqin?" ”

"What's so hard to guess about this, if Zongzheng Xunda can get out of the Tiger Swallow Gorge, he will also suffer heavy losses, Yongjiabao is in the hands of the Qingyan Army, and he can't help but shrink the defensive line. In his heart, it was better for Long Yan to abandon the Qingyan Army than to the Puji bandits. If the Puji bandits landed from Zhangtai, Zeng Zhi would have this secret order and would not be able to set off the wind and waves, but the Puji bandits were under the city, and Zeng Zhi only needed to mobilize a battalion of defenders with this secret order, and Longyan would be doomed. Ding Mianchen took the secret order from He Zhou's hand, struck with both palms, and the document scroll turned into countless fragments and slid down, and said lightly: "The Longyan family has no choice but to do this, I hope Lord He understands." ”

He Zhou was disappointed for a while, only to see the last piece of confetti slip down from Ding Mianchen's palm, and suddenly woke up: "Gongliang Youqin already knows about the changes in Longyan City, can Mianchen have a way to deal with it?" ”

Ding Mianchen said: "The granary has been destroyed, and in the hands of the clan of the family that stores grain in the city, how can Lord He still have other strategies to find?" ”

Although half of the 5,000 defenders in the city were under his direct control, Ding Mianchen burned down the granary, so that he had no way to retreat. Either open the city gate and let the Puji bandits enter the city and take them away, or they will fight against the Puji bandits with the Longyan family.

Governor He sighed: "Yang Shang is willing to cooperate with me Longyan to reject the Puji bandits?" ”

Ding Mianchen chuckled lightly and said, "General Qingfeng has personally led 10,000 elites of the Qingyan Army to sneak south four days ago, and this news was told to me by Yang Shangqian himself. ”

He Zhou stood stunned, thinking: has it come to this point?

Xu Ruyu looked at a single peak in the east, under which is a verdant and lush plateau plain, where the turbid and majestic Min water bends southeast at the single peak, and then there is a continuous low hill, and the high mountains that rise near the sea surround Quanzhou in a bay that is several times larger than Gantang Bay.

Looking at the hastily lit beacon fire on Dufeng, the black pillar of smoke leaping towards the sky, Xu Ruyu said softly: "Twenty-nine years ago, my father also walked around Guanyin Peak to Quanzhou City, when the sky was still snowing. ”

"Another day is the birthday feast of Wang Zongzhengqi of Nanmin County, the guests in Quanzhou City are salty, the silk and bamboo are sheng, and Xu Gong entered Quanzhou City on that day. On that day, Lin Feng led 4,000 Liuqiu bandits to invade the territory of Longyan and plunder, and left ten days later, and that time the bandits landed, Longyan civilian casualties were nearly 10,000. ”

Xu Ruyu also knew that his mother was among those guests, and he would meet his father the next time.

The light army sneaked all the way, but when he arrived at the city of Quanzhou, he hesitated, looked at Zheng Menghuai on his side, and said: "How will the people of Quanzhou think of me?" ”

Zheng Menghuai said angrily: "The Zongzheng family has been in charge of Southern Fujian for more than 50 years, and none of the bandits in Southern Fujian have been extinguished, the merchants are gone, the four fields are barren, the displaced people are congested, and the hungry are in the wilderness. ”

Xu Ruyu chuckled and said, "I don't expect that, I just hope that my father's reputation will not be tarnished." He turned to Jimo Mingxi and said, "You led the 3,000 elites of the front army to quickly intersperse between the East Gate and Quanzhou Port to prevent the Quanzhou Navy from entering Quanzhou City. Xiang Ban Zhaolin said: "You lead 2,000 elites to the south gate of Quanzhou to respond to the front army." After a pause, he resolutely said to Zheng Menghuai: "Let's go to the West Gate to have a look." ”

The three-way light army galloped towards Quanzhou City like an arrow off the string.

Facing the Qingyan Army that suddenly appeared under Quanzhou City, Quanzhou fell into a huge panic.

Zong Zheng Ningshuang sat quietly in the carriage, the gauze hanging down all around, and the noisy sounds in the surroundings rushed over one by one, which was suffocating.

The car had been stuck here for a while, and more than a dozen people were driving the way in front. A homeless man smiled frivolously, and through the soft hanging yarn, he saw that it was a female dependant sitting inside, grabbed the carriage from behind, picked up the yarn and was about to get in.

The surrounding homeless people saw a cold light flash through the heavy gauze, and the chill in their hearts did not disappear, only to see a head fly out of the gauze and fall into the distance, and then the headless corpse rolled down from the carriage, and blood gushed from the neck.

The sudden screams caused even greater panic among the people on the long street.

Through the saman saman , Zongzheng Ning Shuang Gujing looked at the servant in front of the car and asked, "Is the whole of Quanzhou in such chaos?" ”

"The secret room of the Qingyan Army spread rumors in the city, saying that the Puji bandits were about to attack the city and wash it in blood, and tens of thousands of civilians rushed to the four cities out of control, and the first batch of 4,000 water battalion elites who arrived were blocked at the north gate, unable to support the other three cities."

Zongzheng Ningshuang sighed slightly: "Let's go home." ”

One of the generals fiercely twitched the horsewhip to drive away the homeless people blocking the middle of the road, looked at Zongzheng's car, and shouted: "County lord, county lord......" turned over and stood on the horse's back, stepped on the horse's head and went forward, swept past the dense human heads, and swept to the front of the car.

Zong Zheng Ningshuang lifted the curtain of the car and said, "General Huang, what are you doing here?" ”

"In the future, I will invite the county lord to go to the council hall to preside over the overall situation."

"What's the big picture to preside over? The Qingyan Army was only discovered thirty miles away from the city, the water camp reinforcements were trapped at the north gate, and the other three city guards were all clan soldiers and village warriors, which one do you expect the Qingyan Army to fight hard? There are also mobs on the streets, could it be that you go and explain to them that Xu Ruyu, the son of Xu Xing, led the Qingyan Army to attack the city? ”

Xu Ruyu took over the giant ink Changge from Jingwei, and surrounded by Zheng Menghuai, Zhao Jingyun, Tu Wenyong and more than 100 Jingwei, he slowly rode his horse to two hundred steps in front of the city tower, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the majestic and majestic West Gate Tower of Quanzhou.

The sparse defenders on the west tower leaned out of the female wall in horror and looked over.

Xu Ruyu tilted his head slightly, swept the generals on his side with the corner of his eye, exhaled lightly, and said in a loud voice: "Zongzheng Xunda has been on the throne for ten years, there is neither virtue nor good deeds, colluding with Puji, trapping Zhangzhou, Fengzhu, and the lives of the people, hundreds of thousands of people have left their hometowns and migrated, and the corpses are filled in the ravines. Zongzheng Xunda did not know how to cultivate morality, and in order to stop my Qingyan Righteous Army, he actually led 40,000 Puji bandits to cause trouble in Southern Fujian. Those who lose virtue and politics will be punished by the world, why don't the princes open the city tower and refuse me to be outside the city? ”

After a pause, he said: "Zhu Gong is the ancestor of Pao Ze, you don't want the city tower to splash blood for a thousand steps, Zhu Gong follows Zongzheng Xunda, but ask for wealth and nobility, do you know that I have no wealth to give?" ”

After that, he turned his horse and galloped back to his own position.

Half an hour passed, and Ban Zhao's neighbor sent someone to report: the south gate had been opened, and the two thousand Qingyan troops firmly controlled the south gate, and continued to advance towards the city as long as the backup passed.

Xu Ruyu thought for a moment and said to Zheng Menghuai: "The south gate has been opened, and the west gate will not insist, so you and Wen Yong will be responsible for this, and Jingyun and I will go to the north gate." ”

The 4,000 reinforcements of Quanzhou Shuiying were blocked by the chaotic people at the north gate and were not allowed to enter the city to defend, and if the Zongzheng family wanted to get out of the city, they could only go out from the north gate.

Xu Ruyu led two thousand people and horses to the north gate, and saw countless people from the north city from a distance, and through the rolling flow of people, a group of people and horses surrounded dozens of carriages were rushing to the northeast of Quanzhou Port.

Xu Ruyu secretly hated, and his fortune was injected into Jumo Changge, Ge's body glowed with a faint blue light, pointing obliquely at the sky, Dan Jin broke away from Ge, and disappeared into the air, and suddenly there was a thunderstorm that shocked the people who filled the road to forget their panic, and they all looked here in surprise.

Xu Ruyu shook his voice: "The Qingyan Army enters the country to protect the people, and they all return home, don't be alarmed." The voice was infused with Dan breath, and it spread for miles away.

Xu Ruyu said to Zhao Jingyun: "I'll go to the east gate, and you will lead two thousand soldiers and horses around Quanzhou Port." Without waiting for Zhao Jingyun to answer, he jumped out of the horse.

Zhao Jingyun looked up, and there was only a faint shadow left in front of him.

Jimo Mingxi led 3,000 elites to arrive at the east gate for a moment, and more than 2,000 water camp reinforcements rushed over. Both sides were a little caught off guard, Ming Xi ordered 1,000 elites to monitor the East City Gate, and he personally led 2,000 elites into a melee.

Xu Ruyu came from the north gate, and the water camp was slowly retreating.

Xu Ruyu looked at Jimo Mingxi, whose blood stains on his face had not dried, and said: "The south gate and the west gate have been opened, just leave five hundred people here to monitor, and you can go to Quanzhou Port with me." ”

Rushing to a low ridge in the northeast of Quanzhou, the 2,000 elites led by Zhao Jingyun were entangled with the reinforcements of the water camp that had fled from the north gate.

The reinforcements of the 4,000 water battalion were mixed with clan and political relatives, the formation was chaotic, and the morale was low, and they were defeated and retreated by the 2,000 Qingyan army.

Xu Ruyu asked Ming Xi to lead 2,000 elites to outflank the enemy's retreat, and he stood on a hillside to observe the enemy's situation.

The enemy army was guarding a light horse, a woman with a light veil stood at the front of the car, constantly issuing orders to resist the advance of the Qingyan Army, the Quanzhou Water Camp was in decline, but under her command, it actually maintained the formation was not chaotic, and slowly divided the troops from the left side to regroup into a team, horizontal behind the formation, pointing directly at the two thousand Qingyan Army outflanking the back road.

Xu Ruyu looked at her bright eyes and thought: When did Nanmin produce a female general who was familiar with military affairs?

The Nanminshui battalion has 10,000 garrisons in Quanzhou Port, and if there are reinforcements ashore to respond, they will not be able to keep them.

The clear roar was endless, shaking the valley, accompanied by the long roar, Xu Ruyu jumped down from the place and rushed towards the fierce battle.

Zhao Jingyun knew that Xu Ruyu was coming in person, so he asked the soldiers on his side to shout in unison: "General Qingfeng." ”

The Qingyan Army rushed for 700 miles in eight days, which was already the limit of the infantry attack, and the people were short of horses and sleepy, so at this time, they were like a new force, and they struggled to kill the enemy.

Xu Ruyu pointed to the dozens of carriages in the center of the enemy formation and said, "The clan and the clan are all in it, and it is inconvenient to move, so you lead the top soldiers all the way behind me." "Anyway, with a twist of both hands, the giant ink Changge is divided into two sections, one is Ge, the other is like a spear, the whole body is like ink, injected with Dan breath, the blue light flows, the soul is breathing, the hands are swinging, if the sunset flows away from the front of him, when the enemy troops in front of him have flown out, in an instant, the enemy formation staggered with his own army opened a gap for Xu Ruyu alone.

Zhao Jingyun waved his hand, and more than 100 elite guards poured out of the gap behind him, and tried their best to tear the gap even bigger, and Orr poured in another two hundred elites.

Xu Ruyu's offensive range was extremely wide, and Zhao Jingyun, who was following him, had almost no pressure, and it didn't take him a moment to wedge into the core of the enemy formation, and he could see the bright eyes of the woman in the masked sara shirt.

The two attacked, Xu Ruyu waved his left hand, pushed the two away, looked at the horses in the enemy formation, and thought: As long as the horses are frightened, the enemy formation will be chaotic. Waving his fingers, Dan Jin broke away from his go, and attacked the horse directly, and when the horse was reached, there was a clear sound, and a long sword suddenly came horizontally, turning Dan Jin away, but the sound was heard clearly, but the woman with a light veil was hit by a blow, and Xu Ruyu's Dan Jin was not able to be completely eliminated.

Xu Ruyu smiled, stood up, one Ge hung down, and the other pointed directly at the woman's front door, and the Qingyan army behind him came out from both sides of him and attacked the convoy in the enemy formation.

Xu Ruyu said: "There are still children in the convoy, if you don't surrender immediately, they will be the eggs of the nest." ”

The startled horses neighed, the startled horses dragged the carriage and galloped in all directions, and the enemy formation collapsed in an instant.

Zong Zheng Ningshuang looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him, and felt a lot, and his slightly trembling hand could barely hold the sword in his hand.

Xu Ruyu raised his head and saw Ming Xi in the distance signaling that the enemy was approaching, and he couldn't think about the strange appearance of the woman in front of him, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "To descend or not to descend?" Dan breath flowed, Zuo Ge leaned out and hit her neck, the strong wind stirred up by Short Ge lifted her veil, revealing her red and delicate lips, Xu Ruyu was slightly stunned, but Chang Ge penetrated her right chest without pause.

The light yarn flew down, and Zhao Jingyun was surprised: "County Lord." ”

Xu Ruyu was slightly stunned, there was only one county lord canonized by the inner court of the Southern Fujian Zongzheng family, which was the Zongzheng Ningshuang, which should be his father's old man in Southern Fujian. Xu Ruyu saw her lips pursed, but she heard her say, "I have tasted my wish to die at your hands." Before the words fell, the sparkle in his eyes had already dissipated.

Xu Ruyu felt strange in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it, gathered his forces, and converged with the Ming Dynasty. Standing on a high place, I saw a group of people rushing from the direction of Quanzhou Port, about 4,000 people, less than two miles away from here.
