The pregnant woman covered her head and half of her face with a dirty cloth, her face was pale, she kept crying, and her body trembled hard in the car.

When she arrived at the city gate, the pregnant woman screamed again, her body twitched rapidly, and she pointed to the wicked man who was pushing the cart, and shouted loudly: "It hurts me to death!" Liu Xiaoniu, you are happy, but you hurt me so much, I can't spare you when I turn around! "It is a pure Quanzhou dialect.

Liu Xiaoniu, the husband of the cart, looked embarrassed, and desperately nodded to the soldier who was bowing his head and snickering, and prayed: "Master Jun, we are from Xiao'an Village, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, my stomach hurts, and the midwife in the village has something to do with the village, you let us go into the city to find a good man!" ”

"Xiao'an Village in front of Xishan? Who is this person? The soldier stopped laughing and asked the other man by pointing his knife at him.

Liu Xiaoniu timidly moved away from the tip of the knife, wiped the sweat on his face, and said with a sneer: "Yes, it's that Xiao'an Village!" This is my cousin Liu Xiaoshuan. ”

The soldier casually glanced at the car and found nothing, and said with a smile: "You two brothers, together they are called Bolt Niu, and this name is really smooth!" Ha Luha finished laughing, and the soldier waved away.

Liu Xiaoniu and Liu Xiaoxuan said desperately Xie Lu Xie Junye, and pushed the cart and hurriedly walked towards the city.

After walking a short distance, the car turned into an alley, Zhang Jiao, who pretended to be a pregnant woman, saw that there was no one left and right, jumped off from under the car lightly, reached into her arms, took out a semi-circular belly cover, took out six clay pots and handed them to "Liu Xiaoshui" Luo Xing, and said softly: "This is the last batch of secret weapons that Lord Lin asked to bring in, hurry up and send them to the base, let them take it with care!" ”

Luo Xing nodded yes, carefully put the clay pot into a baggage, and slowly tied it to his waist.

"Liu Xiaoniu" is called Chen Tong, a lieutenant who has been training with Chen Desheng in the special team, and said to Zhang Jiao with a smile: "Lady, don't you go back with your husband?" ”

Zhang Jiao's eyes widened, startling Chen Tong and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Less poor mouth! Go back and watch out for the hidden signs! I'll meet you later! Zhang Jiao lowered her face, waved her hand to the two, and walked away quickly, disappearing into the depths of the alley.

On the morning of 19 March, 20,000 Later Zhou soldiers drawn from Luoyang, Mengzhou, and Huaizhou in Xijing gathered under the city of Jinju with a large amount of ordnance. The bloody battle of the second ** city is about to begin.

On the morning of the same day, the 40,000 Southern Han army suddenly crossed the border state and besieged Wuzhou again. After leaving 10,000 soldiers to besiege the city, the remaining 30,000 soldiers were divided into two routes, 10,000 troops directly killed Mengzhou, and 20,000 troops went straight to Hezhou, and the smoke in the Guiguan area rose again.

On the afternoon of March 19, at three o'clock, the Qingyuan Jiedu envoy received an urgent report from the Yongchun garrison that the Jianzhou army was fierce and had captured Datian and was about to surround Yongchun, and the 10,000 troops stationed in Dehua were already in the encirclement of the Jianzhou army!

At five o'clock in the afternoon, there was another urgent report on the western front of Quanzhou, and the Jianzhou army directly killed the head of Yongchun City regardless of casualties, and Yongchun City was afraid that it would not be able to be saved.

At the same time, war reports came from the eastern front, and the Quanzhou naval army had a slight contact with the Chu and Tang armies, and exchanged two warships for three warships of the other side, but because of the huge difference in numbers, they were still on the defensive.

Liuxiao was in a hurry, and was preparing to urgently summon the defenders of Zhangzhou to rush north to rescue, but the Zhangzhou emergency report arrived first, and there were traces of Southern Tang soldiers in Changtai, Nanjing, Pinghe and other counties around Zhangzhou, and they attacked the local government government on a small scale, and scattered some papers everywhere. The report was accompanied by a copy of the seized paper.

As soon as he saw the content on the paper, he was immediately annoyed and scolded: "This is slander and rumor-mongering!" ”

The content on the paper is a letter to the people of Quanzhang, which simply and straightforwardly states that the Tang Dynasty is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, and in order to protect the people of Quanzhang and Zhangzhou to live and work in peace and contentment, the Qingyuan Army is especially allowed to arbitrarily dictate local government affairs. After the Chu was collected last year, the Tang Dynasty intended to extend the three-year rent-free policy that had been implemented in Chu to Quanzhang and Zhang, but the Qingyuan Jiedu envoy secretly withheld this order and did not issue it, and continued to expropriate violently, draw the blood of the people, and raise a large number of troops to protect the bad intentions of the family. After the most lucrative content, he called on the people and soldiers of Quanzhang to see clearly the wolf and thief who remained obedient, and stopped offering their own property and sacrificing their precious lives for such hypocrites.

Subsequently, the identical "propaganda leaflets" were handed up from the surrounding counties and towns of Quanzhou one after another, and news came from Yongchun, which had been lost, that after the occupation of the Southern Tang Army, it would not disturb the people, and it had been announced that Yongchun would be exempted from rent for three years! Daejeon heard that the same is true!

When Liu Congxiao heard the news, he immediately had a feeling that he couldn't breathe, Nantang's move this time was vicious, and he really did everything.

Forced to calm down, Liu Congxiao ordered one after another, ordering all localities to destroy similar papers if they were found again, and declaring that their contents were pure rumors; He led 2,000 soldiers from the Liujia family to patrol the city of Quanzhou, found similar paper, immediately confiscated it, and monitored the city gates and various places in the city; He led the remaining 1,000 soldiers to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion and guard against the surprise attack of the special fighters of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

On the evening of 19 March, during the night of the two Southern Han soldiers who entered the Guiguan area, they kept hearing all kinds of birds, insects, and beast roars from the surrounding mountain soldiers, and the sound was extremely miserable, which made everyone a little nervous, and basically did not have a good rest overnight.

On 20 March, on the way forward, soldiers of the two Southern Han Dynasty were constantly wounded by traps and poisoned arrows in the surrounding area, and although the loss of personnel was not much, it seriously affected the morale of the soldiers, and the pace of the soldiers' advance also slowed down a lot.

On March 20, the Zhou army was divided into four teams to attack Jinzhou City in turn, set up catapults, set up ladders, pushed earth and stones from afar, smashed the city walls, crossed trenches, filled in passages, and launched six waves of advance without stopping, and finally killed in front of the second trench after sacrificing more than 3,000 people. Wang Yan, who commanded the battle, observed for a long time and found that the frequency of attacks on the city had not attenuated at all, so he had to stop the attack. If you fight again, you will die in vain, you really can't fight!

On the 20th, Liucongxiao in Quanzhou City once again received bad news from the Western Front, nearly 20,000 Jianzhou soldiers surrounded Nan'an City, which was only less than 30 miles away from Quanzhou City! The same was true on the Eastern Front, when the Chu-Tang warships launched their first large-scale attack, and twenty of the Quanzhou naval warships were destroyed, and now only nineteen intact warships remain. The commander of Zhan Yidu, Liuqingyu, had already loaded some of the soldiers stationed in Xiagong and Shaxiang onto the ship, preparing to fight to the death with the Chu and Tang warships.

On the evening of the 20th, Liu Congxiao received a report from the guards stationed at the four gates of Quanzhou that one or two elite troops raided their camp after solving their patrol soldiers.

Subsequently, there was an urgent report from the guards guarding the city wall, and elite soldiers were found to raid the city wall everywhere, and some soldiers had already rushed up the city wall and calmly retreated! Liu Shaochi also continued to send people to report that a large amount of propaganda paper was found on and beside the city wall, and efforts were being made to recover it.

For a moment, Liu Congxiao felt that a rope was invisibly coming towards his neck, making it more and more difficult for him to breathe.
