Chapter 812: Taking the City

In Yingcheng, Li Shanbin, the general of the Southern Army, was ordered to garrison. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Shanbin, who was ordered to garrison Qixia Pass, was ordered by King Ning to intercept the grain and grass exported from the Central Plains to Dingzhou, so Li Qing ordered a surprise attack on Qixia Pass, Li Shanbin was intercepted by the Dingzhou army in the process of fleeing, but under Li Qing's order, he escaped the catastrophe of life and death, but because of this incident, Li Shanbin has not been trusted in the southern army, so he was ostracized. originally had the talent of a general, but now he relegated to Yingcheng, as a garrison general in a small city, and only 1,000 elites of the Southern Army under his command, and 3,000 local miscellaneous soldiers in Yingcheng.

Although Quancheng Yingcheng is located in Chong, but the distance between the two places is not far, and compared with Quancheng, Yingcheng's status is much inferior, Hu Zequan stationed heavy troops in Quancheng, but in Yingcheng it is not enough to pay attention. Moreover, the general transfer station of the Southern Army's materials is also located in Quancheng.

Li Shanbin, who sat on the cold board, was not angry, after experiencing the scene from life to death, his personality has changed greatly, and now his wife and children are hot on the kang, and he is quite nourishing.

"General, it's time to patrol the city!" Li Shanbin's personal guard walked into the study and bowed.

Put down the brush in his hand, looking at the words he had just written, Li Shanbin smiled slightly, quite proud, in recent years, it is a great improvement in pen power, it seems to be related to the changes in his heart over the years, less killing, more mellow and smooth.

While bringing Li Shanbin armor and serving Li Shanbin to put it on, he said playfully: "The general's handwriting is really beautiful, much stronger than those who read." Li Shanbin laughed, "You kid is a sycophant, although there are people who are not as good as the master, but I am afraid that most people are better than me." ”

The soldier smiled: "The little one is a general, among the generals, who can write better than the general?" Even those officials in the city said, General, you are a Confucian general with both civil and military skills! ”

Li Shanbin shook his head and smiled: "You are wrong again, those people say this to you, just want to pat my ass through you, speaking of military generals, there is really one who is well-written, and can be called unparalleled in the world, not to mention your general, even 99% of the world's scholars have to bow down!" ”

"And such generals?" The pro-soldier was speechless.

"Yes, yes. It's just a pity, I only hear its name, I don't see its words! Li Shanbin looked up in the direction of Dingzhou. Reaching out and grabbing the waist knife on the table, "Let's go, let's go patrol the city!" ”

Late at night in the cold winter, the work of standing guard in the city, the thousand southern troops in the city will naturally not come to do it, so now the guards in the city are all local soldiers in the city, strictly speaking, this can only be regarded as a group of farmers who pick up the blade, the elite of the Zeng family are now taken away by Zeng Yifan, and those who stay in Liaoshen except for Shenzhou City, Liaozhou City, and Quanzhou City, there are some decent soldiers, and other places are all soldiers who have been temporarily recruited, not to mention combat effectiveness, first of all, military discipline is a mess.

There was not a single soldier in sight in the city, and most of the soldiers who were supposed to be at their posts hid in the caves to make fires to keep warm, and there was nothing to see in the empty city except for the flickering and flickering lanterns.

Li Shanbin, who walked on the top of the city, frowned, these local soldiers were so bad, he didn't expect it at all, he had been in Yingcheng for more than ten days, although he also summoned those local officers to apply for military discipline, but at present, it seems that the effect is basically nothing, let alone the soldiers, even the officers have not seen the shadow.

Walking to the main city tower, there was still nothing left, Li Shanbin's anger was completely irrepressible, and he looked back and said to the soldiers around him: "Give me a drum." ”

The soldiers rushed to the side of the tower, picked up the drumsticks, and raised their hands, and the sound of dong dong suddenly resounded throughout the city.

With the sound of drums, the head of the city suddenly exploded, and in the various hidden soldier caves, the soldiers rushed out, some forgot to wear helmets, and some actually ran out with their bare hands, looking at these soldiers who were headless flies, Li Shanbin was so angry that he didn't even have the heart to be angry, "Look, this is our soldier, tell me, if the enemy is coming, can we count on them?" ”

Li Shanbin looked back at his own soldiers, and the personal soldiers also smiled wryly, "General, this is just a group of farmers who have taken up arms, what can they be expected to do?" Fortunately, it is deep in the hinterland, it is safe, and there will be no enemies. ”

As he spoke, neat footsteps sounded under the city, and groups of soldiers of the Southern Army drove up to the head of the city, forming a neat queue under the city tower.

Several officers strode out of the queue, looked up at the city tower, and gave a military salute, "General Li, the last general and others have arrived as ordered!" ”

Li Shanbin nodded, "Well, today is a drill, your performance is good, I am very satisfied that you can rush from the barracks to the city in half a pillar of incense." ”

Although they were a little surprised why the military exercise was suddenly held, several officers still looked immovable, bowed, and retreated. Li Shanbin's eyes were on the other side, where there was still a lot of commotion, and several officers were shouting at the soldiers in line, but it didn't seem to be effective.

Li Shanbin's solemn gaze looked at this side, and with a wave of his hand, more than 1,000 elites of the Southern Army let out a shout, raised their spears in their hands, and took a step forward in unison.

This shout was much more effective than the shouting of the officers, and the chaotic crowd suddenly fell silent.

"Whoever dares to make a noise again, behead!" Li Shanbin said coldly. The soldiers around him stepped forward and loudly repeated Li Shanbin's order. At this moment, those chaotic grass-headed soldiers finally showed their fear.

"Do you still look like soldiers?" Li Shanbin shouted: "You are simply a group of rabble, and the turtle kings are more disciplined than you." ”

"Patrol the city, defend the city, where is your post, are you guarding the fire in the cave of the hidden soldiers, drinking wine, eating meat, snoring, sleeping? If an enemy strikes, do you know what the fate will be? You will be beheaded by the enemy without knowing anything, and you will be a fool when you die. ”

There was a commotion below, and several soldiers whispered, "Where is the enemy here?" On a cold day, the officials are all in the house, but we are frozen, which is unreasonable! ”

"Shut up, be careful that General Li cuts off your head!" An officer whispered.

"Someone, drag out those who are not in good clothes and armor, and those who have no weapons in their hands!" With a wave of his hand, a group of southern troops rushed out, rushed into the crowd opposite, and pulled out about dozens of soldiers horizontally and vertically.

"It should have beheaded Er, but it was the first offense, and each person had twenty military sticks, and those who dared to call out would add twenty military sticks." Li Shanbin said calmly, "From today onwards, if I notice that someone is off duty, I will be killed." ”

Li Shanbin brushed his sleeves away, and below, a group of law enforcement officers of the Southern Army had already ripped off the pants of these people, pressed them to the ground, and beat them up vigorously.

"One, two, three, four, five!" With the fall of the stick, a southern soldier began to count one by one, Li Shanbin said first, although the stick fell under the buttocks, the pain was enduring, but no one dared to shout, gritted his teeth and resisted, not long, there were already several people fainted.

Less than two miles away from Yingcheng, Sun Zewu and other hundreds of people wore white cloaks, lying motionless on the snow, looking at it from a distance, it was like a ball of rising snow, it was extremely difficult to distinguish, they were ordered to come to seize the city gate, and hold on to the arrival of the cavalry behind them, the drums suddenly sounded in the city, so that Sun Zewu and others were surprised, and thought that the whereabouts of their group had been exposed, and when they were secretly complaining, they found that the opponent was actually rectifying military discipline, Sun Zewu was suddenly angry, and he didn't do it sooner or later. Isn't it a mess for yourself at this time?

Li Shanbin tossed this time, but he dragged the time to the second watch, lying in the snow, his body temperature melted the snow, the snow soaked his clothes, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cellar.

Li Wen slowly climbed up to Sun Zewu, "General Sun, the time agreed with General Wang Yan is the third watch, and now there is only one hour left, we must act." ”

Sun Zewu nodded, "General Li, I will lead the Flying Eagle to climb up and take the city gate first, and you will arrive later." ”

Li Wen looked at the city wall on the opposite side and whispered: "This city wall is not low, and it is icy, extremely slippery, and it is not easy to climb, so I will go up first." ”

Sun Zewu thought for a while, "General Li's martial arts are not comparable to ours, and this is okay." ”

Li Shanbin returned to the letter office in the city with a stomach, and slapped his waist knife on the big case with a snap, and his anger did not subside, "General, let's dissipate my anger, these people are like this, fortunately, we are safe here, and there will be no enemy to fight over, there are General Hu Zequan, General Lan Yu, and General Zeng Yifan in front of hundreds of thousands of troops, rectify military discipline, take your time, don't be angry about these things." ”

Li Shanbin shook his head, "I've been a soldier for half my life, and it's the first time I've encountered such garbage, it's really upright." "When I picked up the pen, I wanted to write a few words to calm down, and I wrote a few times, and I wrote one or two strokes, but I felt that my heart was bored, and I couldn't write at all, so I threw the pen on the desk in anger.

"General, burn your feet!" The soldiers came in with a basin of steaming water, "The weather in this whole state is really unbearably cold, far less warm than in our south!" ”

Li Shanbin sat down, took off his shoes and socks, put his feet into the steaming water, couldn't help but take a long breath comfortably, and was about to say something, when the earth-shattering shouts from outside made Li Shanbin jump in shock, the footbasin was kicked over, and the water splashed all over the ground.

"What's going on?" hurriedly put on his shoes and socks, grabbed his waist knife with one hand, and rushed out of the house.

Li Wen and Sun Zewu climbed up to the city first, and then fell down the hook and pulled dozens of Flying Eagle members up to the city, and then the team of hundreds of people quietly climbed up one by one.

The city gate was rushed down in a moment, and when the city gate was opened, the Yingcheng soldiers guarding the city reacted, beat the war drums desperately, and rushed to the city gate in groups, trying to drive out the group of unknown people who controlled the city gate.

It's just a pity that although there are many people in the city, there is no organization, and the combat power is even lower, under the leadership of Li Wen, the side with fewer people will kill the side with more people step by step, and the city gate is not captured, but is driven backwards.
