Zhenyuan Castle, too high, too thick!

Fourth Miss Li Ting lamented, since midnight last night, 12,000 people of the Li family army launched an attack on Zhenyuan City, and the people were one * on the ground, rushing to the city with hammers, ladders, bows and arrows, and even the only two artillery pieces on the upper floor of Huating County let Li Ting move, but the ease of defending and attacking Zhenyuan City was beyond Li Ting's imagination.

The middle-aged magistrate on the tower of the city stood still, commanding the few defenders of Zhenyuan, and repelling the soldiers of the Li family army who rushed to the city again and again.

By dawn, Li Jiajun launched no less than six general attacks, all of which were in vain, except for throwing thousands of corpses, not even a single city brick could be cut down, and the ammunition of the two cannons had already been exhausted.

The fourth lady, Li Ting, was about to give up the siege, but her grandfather, known as the Duke, disagreed. According to his old man's words, the Zhenyuan garrison has only a few people, less than a thousand people, even if he takes the life of the Li family army to fill it, he will gnaw down the Zhenyuan City. As long as Zhenyuan City is defeated, no matter whether Wang Zuogui and them succeed or not, the righteous army will be invincible.

The character of the governor, those who are familiar with him, know that he likes to engage in sideways and left-handed ways, and the sword goes sideways. Fourth Miss Li Ting, as his granddaughter, has also inherited some of his characteristics. Last night, the order given by the leader of the Wang Dynasty to the fourth lady was actually to order her to lead the Li family army to Chongxin City to exchange money and participate in the plan to besiege and rape the Liang army, but the fourth lady Li Ting thought that at this time, the Liang army made a big move, and the old town must be empty.

The fourth young lady's idea was very much to the governor's appetite, so the 12,000 Li family army galloped to Zhenyuan City in the starry night.

At the insistence of the Governor. Li Jiajun launched another round of attack, and it was also the last round of attack, because halfway through the battle, an officer army appeared from the left side of Li Jiajun.

Guyuan guerrilla general Li Ying led his troops to arrive.

General Li Ying's personal martial arts may not be very good, but he is still ruthless in leading troops to fight. When I arrived, I didn't say hello, and the big knife skirt uàn Sakura climbed the aluminum horn Ф Shuo Zai climbed the 罴 珖笠砭 Tong Gong Si ァ

Li Ting was caught off guard, and hurriedly sent the Chinese army to intercept it, and after a battle, Li Ying was defeated. However, he didn't go far, and he was eyeing him from a distance of thousands of meters, ready to rush up again at any time.

This battle can't be fought!

In the middle of the Li family's army, Li Ting once again proposed to withdraw his troops, and Li Chaoqin, the head of the march, also agreed. The Governor was still hesitating.

Li Ting naturally knew that the Governor's hesitation was actually unwilling, and he didn't even catch a single hair in the surprise attack overnight, and he wouldn't be happy if he changed anyone.

The Duke raised his eyes to look at Li Ying, the guerrilla general of Guyuan who was like a group of hungry wolves from afar away with the Li family's army, looked at Li Ting and Li Chaoqin, and said fiercely: "Let's run for a hundred miles, under the repeated attacks, Zhenyuan City is already at the end of the crossbow, and the trouble in front of us is only the Guyuan official army on the opposite side, as long as we solve this official army first." Not only has the worries been solved, but the defenders in the city are bound to be demoralized, so let's attack again. It will be conquered in one fell swoop. ”

Li Ting looked at Li Ying, a guerrilla general on the horse, and faintly felt that this person was not too easy to mess with. However, the Governor's opinion is also reasonable, if Li Ying's troops can be disabled or driven away, Zhenyuan will definitely be able to take it. So he nodded and said, "It's okay, then send this road of officers and soldiers first." ”

Just as he was about to gather the generals and send out his troops, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. The Duke, Li Ting and the others looked up and saw a spy jumping off his horse. hurriedly stepped forward and reported in a panic: "Miss." The big thing is not good, the rebel armies besieging Chongxin have been defeated, and the whereabouts of the big leader are unknown! ”

When the Duke heard this, the hand behind his back couldn't help but tremble, and Li Ting asked urgently, "What's the matter?" Didn't the Pingliang Righteous Army dispatch more than 40,000 people? How can you lose so quickly in just one night? ”

"Little ones don't know." The spy replied: "The little one said that he met the rebels who left outside, and I heard that Pingliang and the prefect Liang had taken the Liang army to chase them to Pingliang City. ”

Li Ting listened and was stunned. The corners of the Duke's mouth twitched, and he hissed: "That's 40,000 righteous troops!" It's 40,000 pigs, put it there and let Liang Jun cut it, and you can't cut it all in one night! Wang Zuogui, this idiot! Lack of success, more than failure! ”

Li Chaoqin's face was also discouraged, and he asked out loud: "Dugong, what should I do now?" Hit or withdraw? ”

Dugong Tie's face turned blue, and he shook his robe heavily, "Forty thousand people have been disabled, how can we fight?" Withdraw, withdraw! ”

The whining horn sounded, and the Li Jiajun, who was besieging the city under the city, heard the horn sound, and retreated like a tide.

When the guerrilla general Li Ying saw this, he chased for a while, but after being cut off, Li Jiajun was blocked back by a round of arrows, so he did not dare to chase anymore and retreated into Zhenyuan City.

Li Jiajun did not dare to approach Pingliang City, bypassed Pingliang from the ground, and tried his best to withdraw to Huating County, but on the way, he was chased and killed by the cavalry of the Liang army who came out of Pingliang City for a while, although the cavalry was repulsed, Li Jiajun also injured more than 2,000 people.

At this point, the battle of Chongxin was declared over, in this battle, the Liang army suffered more than 6,000 casualties, but it also recovered the two cities of Chongxin and Pingliang dangerously, and the cavalry of the Liang army also made an official appearance, shining in the pursuit of the thieves.

The news was reported to Wu Zhiwang, the governor's office of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang did not believe it at first, and when he sent someone to verify it, he was shocked to believe it, and wrote a chapter to the court overnight, and arranged for Hong Chengchou to go to Pingliang to deal with post-war affairs.

Hong Shenzheng took hundreds of people to hurry up, rushed to the outside of Pingliang City on the third day after the war, wanted to enter the city, but saw that the city gate was closed, and the Liang army on the city tower was very tightly guarded.

"The general has an order, Pingliang City has just been recovered, and there are many thieves in the city, so now close all the city gates and search for the remaining Kou! No one is allowed to enter or leave! On the city tower, a Liang Jun junior colonel shouted loudly to Hong Chengchou and the others under the city.

Hong Chengchou's face was full of black lines, and he shouted upward: "This official is Hong Chengchou, who is participating in the politics of Shaanxi, and he came to Pingliang on the order of the governor of the three sides, and the defenders of the city, quickly open the city gate!" ”

Colonel Liang Jun on the city tower poked his head out, his tone was a little polite, and he arched his fist and said: "It turned out to be Lord Hong, yo, I'm really sorry, Shangfeng's order is like this, and the little one doesn't dare to disobey." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded, and said: "The responsibility of the junior lieutenant is there, and this official doesn't blame you." Quickly go and inform your lord Xu Liang, saying that the official has arrived outside Pingliang City, and call him to go to the city to answer! ”

"Eh, Lord Hong, wait a minute." Xiao Xiao responded and turned his head and ran out of Hong Chengchou's sight.

Hong Chengchou couldn't, so he waited patiently outside the city. The sun in mid-August was the hottest, and Hong Shenzheng stood in the sun, sweating, and couldn't help but go back to the carriage to cool off.

In fact, it was extremely hot in the carriage, Hong Chengchou stayed for a quarter of an hour and couldn't stay, got off the carriage again, and saw that the little school who went to report the news on the city tower had not yet returned, so he circled around the carriage and fanned the hot air with his palm.

After another half an hour, the little colonel finally showed his head on the city tower, and smiled at Hong Chengchou with a smiling face: "I'm sorry, Lord Hong, our general has not recovered from his serious injuries, and he is still unconscious, so he can't go to the city to answer." ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Lord Xu is injured?" Still unconscious? Open the gates quickly, and the official will go and see him. ”

The little colonel shook his head and said, "Lord Hong, without the order of Shangfeng, the little one doesn't dare to open the city gate!" You don't have to be embarrassed about small responsibilities. ”

Hong Chengchou stomped his feet and said: "You little lieutenant doesn't understand things, your general is in a coma, who will order the city gate to be opened?" You quickly open the city gate and let the official go, if your general blames him afterwards, his own official will make the decision for you. ”

The little colonel shook his head, "That's not possible, without the general's order, the little one doesn't dare to open the city gate." ”

Hong Chengchou was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, raised his voice and said, "Little Captain, open the city gate quickly!" ”

The little colonel just shook his head, turned around and said, "Without the general's order, the little one doesn't dare to open the city gate." Hong Chengchou rolled his eyes in anger.

After a meal with the small school to no avail, Hong Chengchou drove to another city gate, wanting to open the city gate, but the situation was basically not bad, the small school guarding the city heard that the people under the city were actually Shaanxi after participating in politics, very polite, and ran down the city tower with an extremely positive attitude to send a message to report, and then appeared on the city tower after half an hour, and asked Hong Chengchou not to embarrass him with an embarrassed face.

Hong Chengchou was almost dizzy, but the middle and lower-level officers in the Liang army who were defending the city, the battalion owner who led the troops, the general didn't see any of them, and it was useless to lose his temper at a group of two-pole people, and turned another city gate, and after calling to open the city gate to no avail, he snorted angrily and ordered him to return to Guyuan Prefecture.

And in the second hall of the Yamen of the Pingliang Prefect's Mansion, Lord Pingliang and Zhizhi Xu Liang Xu sat there at all, but his expression was weird, as if he was crying and laughing, looked at Xing Zhongshan, and asked again: "You just said that Long Feng, the Qianhu official of Anzhong Zhongwei, and that Pingliangyuan Tongzhi Lu Yifa are not dead and are in prison?"
