Song, Kuizhou.

In the small inn not far from the riverside wharf, the atmosphere is solemn.

Weng Yinglong sat on the upper seat and looked around quietly, there were only less than ten people in the room, and several people were injured, which was enough to see that the Imperial City Division had suffered a big loss in the entangled and secret battles for several days.

Before coming to Kuizhou, Weng Yinglong had never imagined that the Imperial City Division would encounter such a difficult opponent, and the strength of the opponent was beyond their imagination. After all, the combat power shown by the mysterious organization under Ye Yingwu's command in the first battle of Longxing Mansion did not let Weng Yinglong take them to heart at all. After realizing it and lacking strength, even if there were a pair of traitorous uncles and nephews such as Yang Feng and Yang Xu in charge, Weng Yinglong didn't think that they had the ability to challenge the Imperial City Division.

But now the situation is diametrically opposite, in Kuizhou, the Imperial City Division is being pressed and beaten by this mysterious organization, so that the only people around Weng Yinglong can use the power that the Imperial City Division can handle. And in the direction of Sichuan and Shu, there are very few people in each state capital of the Imperial City Division, and most of them have to enter a dormant state.

The strength of this mysterious organization under Ye Yingwu's command made Weng Yinglong have to be extremely careful while gasping.

"Today, I will set off to go outside Luzhou City, we must be cautious and careful in all matters here, if the Kuizhou Imperial City Division is hit again, the entire Sichuan and Shu may not be able to be controlled by you and me, as for who will take the head of Xiang Shang at that time, it will not matter." Weng Yinglong's face showed a solemn look.

However, before anyone else could respond, the closed door of the inn was suddenly slammed open!

Before anyone appeared, the dense arrows were already whistling in advance.

"Mr. Protection!" The two loyal Imperial City soldiers roared at the same time, knocking Weng Yinglong to the ground, and the next moment most of the people in the room who did not react had been shot into hedgehogs.

Several masked black-clothed men jumped in, swords in their hands, and even the Imperial City soldiers who were full of arrows did not let go. Several guards who came with Weng Yinglong hurriedly rushed out of the back room, barely blocking the fierce attack of the man in black.

"Sir, let's go, this place is not far from the river!" Weng Yinglong's personal guard leader pulled Weng Yinglong up, and several guards picked him up without hesitation and ran to the back room. In case of emergency, there is a secret passage in the back room of this inn near the river that leads to the river.

The rest of the guards waved their swords to guard the door, but the man in black did not dwell too much, and when he saw that there were many guards on the other side, he simply took a step back, and several thin crossbowmen in their gap did not know when they had appeared, and pulled the trigger.

These guards with strong martial arts are able to hold on to this moment of kung fu under the somewhat scoundrel style of the Six Doors and the Jinyi Guard, which can be regarded as thankful.

The whistling crossbow sound came from behind him, but Weng Yinglong didn't have time to turn back, and there was a heart-piercing pain in his calf, and then several guards beside him disappeared from sight with screams. Weng Yinglong struggled to move forward, but the sound of dense footsteps completely surrounded him in the next moment.

They were all Ye Yingwu's people before and after, and they were all people who wanted to put him to death.

Weng Yinglong is just a weak scholar no matter how he finds it, and he has been hit by two or three arrows after he doesn't know what happened on his leg and shoulder, although it is not fatal, but the pain in his heart is eroding his will to resist all the time.

Finally, this Jia Yidao's left arm and right arm were dizzy in front of him, and he fell to the ground weakly.

The few black-clothed people who hurriedly caught up glanced at each other, and finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, not only Weng Yinglong, this time it can be said that most of the forces of the Imperial City Division in Kuizhou have been uprooted, and there will be no need to be so shy in transmitting information in the future, at least in the short term.

A bucket of water that was temporarily brought over poured Weng Yinglong from top to bottom, and Tian Kun, the leader of the six doors of Kuizhou, looked at him with interest: "I don't know who is here, but the famous Mr. Weng?" ”

Weng Yinglong woke up slowly, and saw that the comer did not want to kill him, but he was sure in his heart, after all, with his scheming, as long as his life is not in danger now, the chance of being able to survive in the future is much higher than that of ordinary people. These readers, who talk about the country as their responsibility all day long, really don't have the iron backbone they imagined.

Especially after staying in Lin'an for a long time, the bones have long been soft.

Now Weng Yinglong still maintains three points of hard spirit, and he does not directly kowtow and beg for mercy, which is already rare.

His eyes swept over the face of the black-clothed man in front of him, and Weng Yinglong snorted lightly: "Knowingly, if you are an unknown person, do you still need to make such a big move?" ”

"Just admit it." The last big stone in Tian Kun's heart finally landed, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if he really caught the wrong person, then his old face would have no place to rest, "Come on, tie this bundle strongly, take it away." ”

This time there was a lot of commotion, and if it alarmed the local government, it would not end well after all, so it was better to be smart.

"Where are you taking me?" Weng Yinglong's face showed a trace of panic that could not be concealed, "What is my identity, you have to think clearly in your heart!" ”

Tian Kun glanced at him angrily and funny: "It's too late to say these words at this time, don't you know where to take you when you get to the place." You scholars, there is a lot of nonsense, so first plug his mouth to me so as not to make noise. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

To tell the truth, this should be the first real siege battle that Ye Yingwu experienced when he came to this era. Before, whether it was Cixi or Macheng, it could not be said that it was a real formal siege war, the first time the opponent was originally some chaotic pirates, and the second time the two sides were actually fighting at the foot of Macheng relying on the camp.

For the attack and defense of the city in the era of cold weapons, the large and small camps outside the city are actually more important than the city walls, these camps often occupy important terrain, when these camps are lost, it means that only the last line of defense of the city wall is left, and it also means that most of the roads for reinforcements to come to the rescue have been blocked.

But like the Divine Arm City, it is a little special, the cliff where the entire city is located is actually the flattest and open place around, not to mention that the river can be supported by Zhang Shijie's sailors, so Gao Gao and Ye Yingwu did not set up camp outside the city, but relied on the steep terrain to arrange some traps and antlers at will, and the main force was stationed in the city.

Red flags flew in the wind over the city and in the nearby hills. And compared with the Sichuan River, which is already wide outside the Luzhou River, hundreds of warships put up a strict and orderly queue, because of the uncertain wind direction, these warships did not set sails, and from a distance it looked like a dark cloud hanging over the river in addition to the red flags dotted in the middle, compared with the Mongolian cavalry that came from far and near, the momentum did not fall behind at all.

Even if Zhang Shijie's ability to command water warfare is no matter how many knives he has, he has been on the water for a long time, how to discharge an imposing military formation is still difficult for him. At this time, Zhang Shijie was the commander of the Jinghu Naval Division, and the warships and sons under his command were only a handful in this Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that they had experienced several major battles one after another, even if Liu Quan's Yushui Naval Division was known as the elite, it was inevitable that it was a grade worse than the Jinghu Naval Division in terms of warship armament.

What's more, this time, Zhang Shijie tried his best to lure the arrogant Yushui sailor to the top of the river, and occupied the upstream position, so he was naturally confident.

The Mongolian army commanded by Liu Quan was already very close to the city, and as soon as the army set up camp, countless sentinels had already been scattered, and the periphery of the Shenjian City was almost explored, but there were strong bows and crossbows of the Song army near the city, waiting for the Mongolian cavalry to send them to the door at any time, so no one dared to pin their heads to their belts and rush forward.

And Ye Yingwu and Gundam did not "embarras" Liu Cheng when they arranged the city defense before, except that the Song army's bow and crossbow were not arranged within the range of the trap.

As the sentinels successively conveyed information to the camp, a group of 1,000 Mongol cavalry galloped out of the camp, followed by two teams of 1,000 infantry, one on the left and one on the right to cover the flanks.

On the city of Luzhou, Ye Yingwu and Gao Gao looked at the Mongolian infantry with great interest. The name of Luzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the whole city is located on the Shenjian Mountain, in fact, only the east gate is completely facing the land, which can allow the passage of large siege equipment, if there is no strong enough to suppress the water division of Luzhou City, it is difficult to conquer this famous city in Jiangbei.

At that time, it was precisely because Lu Wende led the army to defend from three sides on the water and march step by step that Liu Cheng had to abandon the city and go north.

Gundam has been stationed in Shenjian City for some years, and Ye Yingwu also knows that if it weren't for his little butterfly running here to flap its wings again, Gundam at this time should have been transferred to Ningjiang Army to go to Ezhou, and prepare to lead the army north to rescue Xiangyang a few years later.

Rescuing Xiangyang was the last bit of light that the veteran could burn for the crumbling dynasty, but Lu Wenhuan refused for fear of the Gundam Communiqué's personal vendetta.

Glancing deeply at the veteran beside him, Ye Yingwu's eyes shifted to the Mongolian infantry at one time, coming from a long journey, and the Mongolian army sent out a full 3,000 people before they set up camp, did they want to attack the city directly?

But among these 3,000 people, they didn't even bring a basic ladder, so they couldn't have run to Luzhou City to be a target.

"I think it's Liu Quan." Gundam said without a beginning or an end.

Not only Ye Yingwu, but also Wang Shichang, Liu Xiong and others standing behind Ye Yingwu were slightly stunned, but no one dared to underestimate the conclusion made by this veteran. You must know that these people present have really dealt with Liu Quan, and I am afraid that there is only one person.

Maybe in the eyes of Jia Rudao, who is the prime minister of the dynasty, this veteran is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly, but in the eyes of countless Song soldiers in and down the city, this figure standing against the wind is more relied on by them.

With this figure, the entire Luzhou is fearless.

Even Ye Yingwu subconsciously restrained his usually somewhat domineering temperament in front of Gundam, after all, for this veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, Ye Yingwu has always maintained the greatest respect.

Stretching out his hand and patting the wall tiles, Ye Yingwu gritted his teeth.

Liu Quan, you are so bold, the camp has not yet been settled, so you swaggered forward with people first, do you regard the people in this Luzhou city as decorations?

However, Ye Yingwu didn't say a word, it didn't mean that others didn't say a word. Liu Xiong, who had already been deflated in the field battle outside the city, was the first to jump out: "General Qiyu, whether the Mongolian Tartars come here or not, this is undoubtedly too deceitful, we can't just watch their 3,000 people swaggering over." ”

Gundam smiled lightly: "He came here for a walk, as long as the bow and crossbow can't be shot, it doesn't matter to us." For Shenjian City, Liu Quan has been stationed here for half his life, and he is more familiar than anyone else, if you want to say that he is here to observe the military situation, the old man will not believe anything. ”

Although there are only 3,000 people from the city, the cavalry is in the center, and the foot soldiers are on both sides, all of them are holding knives in their hands, and they are waiting for the battle.

Gundam didn't break this layer, it can be regarded as his art of dealing with the world, and he has to save some face for himself after all. Liu Xiong smiled, as if he was already familiar with this kind of education that was hidden by the old general, and immediately became silent.

"I'm afraid that the Yushui Sailor is also coming." Ye Yingwu also came to a sentence without a beginning or an end, but with the precedent of Gundam just now, no one spoke.

When the Yushui sailor arrived, it was when Liu Chuan attacked the city, and only by using the sailors under his command to drag Zhang Shijie could he win the gap on the land, otherwise Zhang Shijie would be allowed to launch arrows on the river to support the Divine Arm City, unless he had the ability to reach the sky, the attack on the Divine Arm City could only be said to be worse.

The sound of footsteps behind him sounded, and Wen Tianxiang and Yang Xu hurriedly walked to the city gate. Ye Yingwu was slightly stunned, made an apologetic gesture towards Gundam, and greeted him.

Since following Ye Yingwu all the way to the west, Wen Tianxiang has become more stable from the beginning of his enthusiasm, and even the complexion on his face is a little dark, and he can't see the image of the original civil official, although Ye Yingwu doesn't think that this Great Song Dynasty champion who hangs a sword on his waist at every turn and gallops wildly on a horse has the slightest appearance of a civil official.

Because it was a lone army, Wen Tianxiang was responsible for the placement of camps in the army and the raising of food and grass, so to tell the truth, Ye Yingwu rushed to the front, and he really didn't have much conversation with him along the way.

The two of them are already tacit.

Nodding slightly at Ye Yingwu, Wen Tianxiang took a half step back and let Yang Xu out.

"Envoy, the news of Kuizhou has come, and the people have taken it." Yang Xu lowered his voice and said, "What should I do, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Ye Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief, if he hadn't run to this land of Sichuan and Shu this time, I'm afraid Weng Yinglong wouldn't have followed him around, and naturally he wouldn't have been caught off guard because of the weakness of the Imperial City Division.

It took a lot of effort to catch this still young fox, and even Xing**, which is now the Xingzhou headquarters, has drawn out a lot of elite manpower to rush over, and it is finally done. Only by solving this problem can Ye Yingwu face the crisis in front of him wholeheartedly.
