In the city of Yingzhou, torches are like a forest. Clusters of flames, swaying and dancing in the cold wind, clearly reflected every face.

The four or five hundred troops and horses that rose up when they heard the chaos were all that could be mobilized in the city at this moment. Wearing armor and holding troops, under the leadership of the general, he surrounded the military camp where Meng Nuan's department was stationed.

A group of generals, bound in armor and riding horses, either led the army straight forward at the head of the team, or commanded in the rear. led a team of military horses from all over the capital to rush towards the military camp of Meng Nuan's department from different directions.

The snow is falling, and it is as cold as ice. The armor warrior and the horses were all exhaling long white breath as they walked quickly.

The battle outside the city has not yet begun, and the city will break out first!

A team of armor soldiers made a heavy roar of footsteps, desperately rushing forward. The leading general rushed to the front, a rough man, shouting in a Yandi accent: "Hurry up!" The straight lady thief wants to cause chaos in the city, so she has to cut Meng Nuan to pieces! After the rebellion, I asked the princess to give wine and meat to reward the brothers! In case Meng Nuan succeeds, we don't have to say that we just died in battle. You also have to drive the Jurchen Tartars to fight for their lives in the snow, and the fate of nine deaths and one life, can you still understand this truth? ”

The soldiers gasped heavily, and more than half of this group of sergeants were newly recruited from the Yunnei Prefectures. has not served for a long time, and it is not possible to talk about how much sense of belonging there is to the Fuliao army. The surrender of Kaesong was reluctant, and the Jurchen Tartars drove the people of the states in Yunnei outside the city like pigs and dogs, and most of them fell into the hands of the Jurchen Tartars.

Moreover, the city of Yingzhou is strong, and the city is defended, and these soldiers are somewhat confident. Willing to follow these so-called Fuliao army generals to the end.

Defending the city may not be dead, and the city is driven by the Jurchen Tartars, ten people enter the middle, and one may not survive!

Tonight, I suddenly heard that Meng Nuan was in turmoil, although he was ordered to get up, put on armor and hold soldiers, and went out with the army to quell the chaos. But these newly recruited troops in the cloud couldn't help but muttered a little in their hearts.

They are not afraid of war, they have struggled to survive in the states of Yunnei until now, who has not experienced a few chaotic battles? It is also common for dock walls and forts to attack and kill each other, or to fight around the dock wall, or to defend by their own dock walls. But the Liao army came from Yandi to fight, which can be regarded as an external entry, and those generals and envoys are themselves a core circle. Tonight, except for Meng Nuan, who originally occupied Yingzhou, how seriously can he take the entry of Yunnei's background?

Fight to the death with the Jurchen Tartars, regardless of their casualties in the clouds. I'm afraid that when I want to flee for my life, I will leave them first? Speaking of these generals of the Fuliao Army, everyone can see Meng Nuan's vigilance!

But in this world, let's take one step at a time. Meng Nuan is not shrewd, and he is not smart, and he seems to be surrounded by an iron bucket in a blink of an eye. Seeking death at home, who is to blame?

In a short time, this group of armor soldiers hurried to the place where the army and horses gathered. Yingzhou City is small. Meng Nuan's military camp does not occupy a large area, and hundreds of troops will be tightly surrounded on all sides, which is quite impassable.

Although Guo Rong went north, he brought a lot of military funds. can expand the army repeatedly, and then select the elite to follow Zhen Liuchen south. Now the armor in the city fortress is more than half. Hundreds of military horses surrounding Meng Nuan's military camp, all in armor, were ready to fight. And those who were placed in the back were all unarmoured.

To his surprise, regardless of whether there was armor or not, the hundreds of military horses that surrounded Meng Nuan's military camp were motionless. The generals walked through the ranks, and did not reprimand and order their subordinates to attack and move forward, but exchanged words with each other, and then discussed something.

The generals who led the team immediately shouted: "Get out of the way!" Our team has a first, let us go to the front! Straight thief, this is still a war, isn't it? Why are all the birds pouting on this side like wooden stakes? ”

He was loud and loud, and he turned his head in and out. A familiar general greeted him: "Gao Yi, your son-in-law doesn't need to step forward, just rest on the spot." I have been sent in to boil some hot water, sweat cold, save a batch of freezing, Tartar is outside the city, every entry is expensive............ Your own family is it. ”

The general called Gao Yi wiped the hot sweat on his face, he was in too much hurry all the way, the sweat froze on his beard, and the fire shone brightly.

While instructing his subordinates to rest on the spot, he rode forward. The sergeants who stood in the way gave way one after another.

"Killed Meng Nuan? The ability to make this mess is too poor, and it will be calmed down in three or two clicks. It's a waste of our hard work. Who got the first credit? Ma Wu? Chen Liang? ”

The general who greeted him smiled bitterly and pointed with his hand: "I look at it at my own house, my voice is loud, I am dizzy, and I stand far away from me." ”

When Gao Yi looked inside, he saw how many soldiers were holding torches, illuminating the outside of the small temple that was used as a military camp. Inside and outside the door of the small temple, kneeling a hundred and ten entered, Meng Nuan was in front, undressed and armored, shirtless, and tied his hands with his hands. He who did not lift his head knelt in front of him.

Several generals sent by Meng Nuan's side were all in to treat their injuries at this time. As soon as one of them finished wrapping, he limped to Meng Nuan with a cloak and put it on him, and sighed: "Old Meng, the princess is coming, listen to her, I will speak for you." ”

Gao Yi was dumbfounded, and pointed to Meng Nuan who was kneeling on the ground: "What kind of chaos is this?" ”

The generals around him explained in a low voice: "Meng Nuan's head named Shen Donkey, seeing that the Jurchen army is gaining momentum, reinforcements are coming north. So he thought about it, hooked up with the sergeant, and wanted to take advantage of Meng Nuan's patrol camp to serve him in chaos, and grab the city gate to welcome the Jurchen Tartars inside. Ma Wu Chen Liang and several of them became hasty, and they were all injured............ Meng Nuan took the opportunity and beheaded Shen Donkey. rescued Ma Wu Chen Liang and them, suppressed the rebellious army, and now bound himself to plead guilty............ This mess has calmed down Meng Nuan! ”

Gao Yi was still dumbfounded: "Meng Nuan is in chaos? ”

The generals beside him sighed: "Isn't that exact?" ”

Gao Yi looked at Meng Nuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and glanced at the hundreds of military horses with armor and shining armor in his hands, and also lowered his voice, and said to the generals around him in an almost inaudible voice: "Otherwise, I will cut this guy and save a lot of trouble." ”

The military general next to him lowered his voice lower than him: "How to do it?" All the armies watched, at this moment, how many clouds entered the city? Meng Nuan was not guilty, how could a sergeant from Yunnei not centrifuge? Yingzhou doesn't have to defend it............ Besides, Ma Wu Chen Liang and a few of them were saved by Meng Nuan, and it was not good to cut them down immediately. ”

Gao Yi hesitated for a while, and he also knew that it was difficult to solve. When you lead the troops, you know that the army's heart is solid, and if the army's heart is not strong, even if there are ten thousand strong cities, it is not enough to rely on. Meng Nuan made a great contribution tonight, and he cut it like this. There are so many sergeants from Yunnei in the army, and they can only feel that these foreign military horses at the core of the Fuliao Army do not treat them as if they were in Yunnei. Chaos may not be, but it will never fight to the death. Now that the lone army is defending, the Jurchen Tartars are forcing the city, and reinforcements are constantly coming, and they are about to work together, how can they be in vain to mess with the army's heart?

He muttered unwillingly: "I don't know why, I just don't like this guy." It's gloomy, and I don't know what Zhenri is thinking............"

The generals beside him sighed: "Let the princess and the general Tang go to the place, let's just look at it............ Lao Gao, I always feel that we have to explain here if we can't say it. Just kill a few more Tartars, don't lose the bird! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sound of horses' hooves sounding came in the night, and under the firelight, I saw Guo Rong and Tang Huai waiting for them, and came with dozens of guards.

Guo Rong rode her horse at the front, the snowflakes had already fallen a thin layer on her cloak, and her pretty cheeks were also blown red by the cold wind. A pair of dark, thin eyebrows wrinkled tightly. Behind him, the guard loudly said: "The princess of Shu has arrived!" ”

The officers and soldiers who were waiting here bowed down one after another. Get out of the way. Guo Rong nodded even if he had greeted him, and the whirlwind swept straight in, and at first glance, he saw Meng Nuan who bowed respectfully to the ground, as well as the dejected soldiers under his command.

Guo Rong clenched her white teeth tightly, glanced at Meng Nuan condescendingly, and said coldly: "General Meng, what's going on?" ”

Meng Nuan's head bowed deeply to the ground, not daring to raise it: "The last general is a capital crime, and the restraint of his subordinates is not effective." In front of the princess, what else can you defend yourself? But please princess only sin the last general, the last general will be under the command of these sons, for a while to be blinded. Now that the Jurchen Tartars are forcing the city, there will be a big war, and these sons and daughters also ask the princess to allow them to make meritorious contributions to the princess's great cause............ As for the guilty general, let the princess be punished, although there is no hatred in death. ”

Guo Rong squeezed the horsewhip tightly with one hand, and her willow eyebrows were already twisted into a pimple. Subconsciously waved the whip twice in the air, but did not speak.

Ma Wu Chen Liang, who was sent to Meng Nuan's side, waited for him, glanced at each other, and finally stepped forward and bowed to Guo Rong: "Shen Donkey's rebellion, the change was hasty, and the last general was incompetent, and he did not take precautions." General Meng beheaded Shen Donkey, meritorious and innocent, and asked the princess to investigate. ”

Guo Rong bit her lip and replied angrily: "I know all this!" Retreat first and recuperate! ”

She does have a headache right now. A chaos was put down before it was a big deal. This is a good thing, but it is Meng Nuan who is in chaos!

What kind of entry is this, Guo Rong is completely unsure. When they got the latest news on the way here, Guo Rong and the generals were stunned, and for a while they really hoped that this mess would really make trouble, and they would get rid of Meng Nuan in a good name!

But now, how can you start again?

Countless eyes were focused on Guo Rong, and there were many sergeants from Yunnei.

Meng Nuan occupies Yingzhou, which can be regarded as the entry of the hometown. Although he did not do much good governance when he ruled Yingzhou. Instead, he forced the forts to supply his thousands of horses. But for the foreign Fuliao Army, even if it is on behalf of Yunnei's generation of the Fuliao Army. In this way, Meng Nuan was lightly punished, and the only way to do it was to let the sergeant centrifuge, and no matter how strong the city of Yingzhou was, it was not enough to be afraid!

It was precisely because the Jurchen Tartars persecuted Yingzhou that they wanted to get rid of Meng Nuan, an unstable factor. And it was also because the Jurchen Tartars persecuted Yingzhou City, and they couldn't punish Meng Nuan without guilt, which caused chaos in the army's hearts!

It's almost an unsolvable circle.

At this moment, not only can you not kill Meng Nuan. There must also be some praise and preferential treatment to reassure the army. And how to deal with the sergeants under Meng Nuan's command who participated in the rebellion is also extremely difficult to deal with. Unpunished is not enough to deter the whole army, and all these sergeants are transferred from Meng Nuan's command, and after killing a few of them, they will be scattered and assigned to other teams. But this is not punishing the rebellious sergeant, but punishing Meng Nuan. But if Meng Nuan is not in charge of the army, how can he rest assured?

Oops, what a headache! If that's bad, you'll be able to sort out this mess, right?

The generals looked at Guo Rong there frowning and pondering, but no one spoke. I don't have any good ideas now, and I feel in a dilemma. But now that so many people are watching, and there are still Jurchen Tartar military horses outside the city, how can they continue to be so deadlocked?

Meng Nuan suddenly kneeled a few steps, closer to Guo Rong's mount. Still bowed to the ground and did not look up: "I guarantee with my life, I and my sons are willing to die for the princess of Shu!" The sin will be sideways to Yingzhou for a long time, and he will allow himself to enter for this time, and the Jurchen Tartars will drive away the people of Yingzhou, if they drive pigs and dogs. The sin will not be shared with the Jurchen Tartars! The sin will be confused for a while, and he should wear the sin to make meritorious service to self-effect. Please ask the princess of Shu to lead fifty military horses and go out to guard the Jiazi Fort under the mountain! If the Jurchen Tartars pounce on the fortress of Yingzhou, the sin will dare to ensure that they will be covered with corpses in front of the Jiazi Fort, and they will not be able to take half a step! ”

The main city of Yingzhou is built on the mountain, and a passage road goes straight to the front of the main city along the mountain. Along this path, four forts were built from low to high, all of which were made of earth and rock. The two are opposed, the passage is controlled, and the distance between each other can be connected with the bow and arrow, which is used to defend the main city fortress.

If the foreign enemy attacks the main city of Yingzhou, go straight along the road. These four little forts can carry them around and spank them. Let them fall into the rain of arrows on all sides. And gnaw along the small forts, the main fortress can freely transfer troops under the cover of this small fort, and attack out of the city at any time, contain the enemy from entering the offensive, and support the defense of the small fort. With such a defense system, combined with the dangerous terrain, Yingzhou is really difficult to attack.

What Meng Nuan invited was to go out and live in a small fort at the bottom. Face the Jurchen army!

The method he took the initiative to propose, Guo Rong and the generals thought about it, and there were more advantages and fewer disadvantages. Meng Nuan picked dozens of henchmen to go out, that is, he gave up the command power of the rest of the military horses left in the city, and he could break up the division, and this biggest unstable factor disappeared. Meng Nuan led dozens of military horses, far away outside the city, what chaos could happen?

The worst result is nothing more than Meng Nuan's surrender to the fort. Kejia Fort is located in the lowest part of the terrain. As long as the other fortresses and the main city fortress are not lost, the use of bows and crossbows alone can make the Jurchen Tartars gain an uncertain foothold in the Jiazi Fort. It doesn't play a role in supporting much. If you want to break Yingzhou, you have to gnaw it up layer by layer!

To put it bluntly, maybe Meng Nuan really surrendered the fort, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief! It is even more justifiable to dispose of the military horse left by Meng Nuan and firmly hold it in his hands. According to Jiancheng, there are no internal worries, and the top and bottom are united. The generals are confident that they can defend Yingzhou until the moment when reinforcements arrive!

For the reinforcements to finally come, Guo Rong surrendered, and never doubted.

Guo Rong and Tang Huai waited, glanced at each other, and nodded slowly. Guo Rong slowed down her tone and said to Meng Nuan: "General Meng, you are not guilty of chaos, please get up." If you want to protect your subordinates from their crimes, I will not pursue them............ As for going to defend the fort ............"

Meng Nuan straightened up, looked at Guo Rong, and said loudly: "The last general, please!" We are from in the clouds, and we also want to follow the princess to do a career! If you don't do it now, when will you wait? The last general is bold, I only feel that these henchmen around the princess still look down on us, so we will fight at the front and show the princess! After this battle, please also ask the princess to also trust us to these loyal people who serve the princess in the cloud! ”

The military man from Yunnei heard these words and became moved. And Meng Nuan knelt in the snow, looking righteous, righteous, and loyal.

Guo Rong's eyes also became sharp, stabbing Meng Nuan's face. And Meng Nuan also looked back proudly.

I don't know how long it took before Guo Rong nodded slowly: "General Meng's loyalty, I deeply admire it." As General Meng asked, I will go out tonight to replace the defenders of Fort Jia! As long as General Meng and his sons can fight to the death, how can I not trust my heart? I will also dispatch troops and horses at any time to support General Meng's garrison. Everyone worked together to defend Yingzhou. The army in the south came back to help, broke the Jurchen Tartars, and rebuilt the foundation of the Great Liao. ”

Meng Nuan bowed deeply again: "Be a princess!" ”

Meng Nuan's henchmen also bowed down and responded: "Be a princess!" ”

One voice came out, and a hundred voices rose at the same time. Hundreds of voices were released at the same time, shouting loudly in Yingzhou City: "Be a princess!" ”

After ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yan Xiyin left, Yinshuke quietly got up and stepped out of the tent of the Chinese army. Looking at the Yingzhou Fortress in the firelight in the distance.

The guards outside the tent gave him a cloak for the future, but he was pushed away by the silver magic.

The drum horn of Yingzhou City did not stop, and there were bursts of shouting, and in the night, the mountains and valleys should respond. The snowflakes at the head of the city seemed to be stirred by this shout, and swept wildly in the air.

Yinshu shook his head and smiled: "I give my own courage to my own ............ What is the use of the patchwork of military horses? ”

"Siege tomorrow! Die a few thousand lives, fight hard, see how much pressure they can withstand, and see what happens to this patchwork military horse! ”

In Yingzhou City, Guo Rong turned back to the head of the city, and the soldiers and horses in the city either returned to their camps or were silently on duty. Meng Nuan also accompanied the generals, but in fact, he selected his henchmen and prepared to go out of the city to defend the Jiazi Fort and replace the original defenders. The guards at the city gate have doubled, and Meng Nuan wants to take advantage of the opening of the city to seize the gate with these fifty entrances, unless they are all the reincarnations of Da Luo Jinxian.

Guo Rong didn't feel sleepy at all, standing on the high place at the head of the city, and suddenly asked Tang Huai, who had been silent behind him: "Fourth Brother Tang, can Yingzhou hold it?" ”

Tang Huai still didn't speak.

Guo Rong smiled: "Then the bad money owes me more............"

Guo Rong muttered to herself, the small city gate of Yingzhou City that was plugged out on the side of the protruding horse face had been opened, and Meng Nuan led fifty henchmen to rush out under heavy surveillance.

Up and down the city, the soldiers on duty all looked at the military horse silently.

A civil strife, and it turned out like this. Meng Nuan is a great hero--what will happen next?
