Sure enough, under an old tree with a crooked neck in the southwest corner of Yuezhou City, "Tietou Jiao" and others found a newly dug tunnel mouth, go down to see, it really leads to Yuezhou City, the exit on the other side of the tunnel is sealed with a wooden door, peeking in through the crack in the door, only to see three or four people guarding the door.

When Qiu Yizhi got this situation, he was ecstatic in his heart, but he was not willing to let his soldiers take risks, so he asked Zhang Qi to select his capable soldiers, armed with sharp axes, heavy hammers and torches, and drill into the city from the hole outside the city.

The Lingnan army in Yuezhou City really did not expect that there were also people among the imperial court officers and soldiers who knew this method of digging and attacking the city, and there were not many people guarding the entrance to the cave in the city.

Zhang Qi led his army, and after splitting the wooden gate with a sharp axe, he slashed and killed in the city. The attention of the Lingnan army in the city was all on the city wall, and there were not many troops in the city, so Zhang Qiru was in a no-man's land.

Fortunately, the Lingnan army was not slow to react, and seeing that the number of enemy troops coming out of the cave was small, they hurriedly transferred the troops on the city wall to suppress the enemy troops in the city first.

Qiu Yizhi's eyes outside the city were blazing, and when he saw that the Lingnan army on the wall of Yuezhou had loosened, he ordered to continue to increase troops to attack the tunnel, and at the same time ordered Zhao Chengxiao to command the main force of the army to attack the city.

Zhao Chengxiao always takes the lead in leading the army, and today he is a little impatient to sweep the formation, and when he hears the order, he immediately waved the order flag, signaling the army to attack the city wall, and wished that he would also set up a ladder to charge the city wall.

The Lingnan army defending the city did not expect the slightest hesitation and temptation of the officers and soldiers, so they dared to attack the city wall with the whole army, and they were a little surprised in their hearts, so they hurriedly opened their bows and arrows and shot at the officers and soldiers carrying the ladders under the city.

However, the Lingnan army defending on the city of Yuezhou has been divided into two places, no matter how hard they shoot, they can't stop the offensive of the official army under the city, and in the blink of an eye, the official army has rushed to the city wall, leaning on the not tall city wall, and erecting a ladder.

Seeing this, the defenders of Yuezhou City hurriedly stabbed their spears on the ladder poles, destroying several of them.

However, there were many ladders for the officers and soldiers, and there were more than 100 of them, and this one was overturned and another one was raised, and the strength of the Lingnan army was insufficient, so it was really impossible to prevent the officers and soldiers from climbing the city wall through the ladders.

In just a few moments, hundreds of people have already climbed the not tall and majestic city wall of Yuezhou City, and fought to the death with sabers and shields in their hands.

After more than a month of rest and training, these troops, who had been defeated by the Lingnan Provincial Army, were quite effective and prepared, and they did not seem to suffer very much in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders of Lingnan Province who were in a hurry to fight.

In the city of Yuezhou, Zhang Qi, who was newly named Zhonglang General, led the elite men and horses to win one after another, and slowly forced the defenders to a corner of the city wall.

Qiu Yizhi got the news from the city, and saw that the battle on the city wall was still a little anxious, so he called Wu Changxi and ordered: "General Wu, now that our army has the upper hand, as long as we work hard and work harder, we can capture Yuezhou." He also asked the general to lead his elite soldiers to help in the battle, and he would definitely be able to win. ”

Wu Changxi agreed very happily: "The lord is the commander, and speaking is a military order, and there is nothing to please or not invite, then please take a look at the methods of our army, so that you can know that it is not the general who brags." ”

After saying that, Wu Changxi let out a long roar, lifted the spear he was used to, beckoned his brothers, and rushed to the city of Yuezhou.

I saw him quickly run to the city of Yuezhou, estimated the height of the city wall, didn't even use a ladder, stabbed the spear in his hand to the ground, and actually relied on the tenacity of the spear itself to rise into the air, impartially jumped to the top of the city wall, and then raised the spear to pierce a Lingnan soldier as a chest and picked off the city wall.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi shouted: "Okay! Sure enough, good martial arts! ”

Wei Chi Jiming, who was guarding beside him, said, "What is this? Didn't you pick a foot high with a pole? I don't have to, I can jump over the bricks of the city wall. ”

Qiu Yizhi didn't bother with her, rode on the back of his "sweaty and bloody horse", and watched the battle in the city intently.

However, although Wu Changxi's soldiers did not have the martial arts of their main generals, their steps were also extremely brisk, and they rushed to the city below, relying on the ladder that had been erected on the city wall, quickly ascended the city tower, and slashed and killed the enemy in the bush with a sharp blade in hand.

On the city wall, the defenders of Lingnan Road were already very reluctant to deal with the sergeants who had just arrived in the city, but now there was such a group of fresh troops, they could no longer resist and could not maintain the battle line, and began to slowly gather in the city wall.

And Zhang Qi in the city has also occupied the city gate, ordered someone to cut off the latch that locked the gate, and pushed the city gate open.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, put a smile on his face, and said to Lin Shuhan and Zhao Chengxiao: "The big thing has been decided, Yuezhou City has been taken by our army, and it is useless to kill more." He took the two more heralds and ordered, "Wait for the order, saying that Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and that both sides should stop fighting and wait for me to fall." ”

Saying that, Qiu Yizhi instructed Lin Shuhan and Zhao Chengxiao: "Let's go, let's go into the city and have a look!" So he took the lead and entered the city of Yuezhou through the gate that had been suddenly opened.

Yuezhou City Qiuyi has been here twice before, but today when I entered the city, a military disaster was not settled, and the city was full of ruins and broken walls, which seemed to be a decadent depression.

Qiu Yizhi sighed, and raised his eyes to see Zhang Qizheng leading more than 1,000 elite soldiers in a corner of the city wall, surrounding a sentry of men and horses. If you already know that the sky is mighty, if you don't quickly put down your weapons and raise your hands to surrender, this official can spare your life. ”

When the Lingnan army heard this, they looked at each other, lest the young man in front of them would not count, and he would put down his weapons, but he would still slaughter himself, so they clenched their blades one after another, refused to surrender, and put on a posture of being dead and broken.

Qiu Yizhi hated bullying the soft and afraid of the hard in his life, and when he saw such a hard-headed person, he felt a little respect in his heart, and greeted loudly: "Where is Meng Hong?" ”

Meng Hong hurriedly stepped forward and gave a military salute: "Meng Hong is here, what do you command?" ”

Qiu Yizhi pointed to a dead branch growing in the brick crack of the city wall and said, "Give me an arrow to shoot down!" ”

Meng Hong didn't know the intention of Qiu Yi, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that this dead branch was the thickness of the mouth of a wine glass, and it was only more than a zhang away from him, so it was not difficult to shoot, so he raised the crossbow machine and aimed it slightly, and shot it with an arrow.

I only heard a "boom", and the crossbow bolt flew away, and the dead branch was broken impartially, and half of the branch fell from the city wall, which happened to hit the head of a Lingnan soldier, and the crossbow bolt was deeply inserted into the city bricks, and the exposed half of the arrow rod was especially trembling.

Qiu Yizhi said proudly: "If you know how to shoot arrows like this, there are still hundreds of people in our army, if you and others resist stubbornly, as long as this officer gives an order, you can shoot them all to death, and if you don't leave a single soldier, you can't hurt a soldier in our army." ”

The Lingnan army saw such a method and listened to such words, and their hearts were a little frightened, and finally they heard one of the people who looked like an officer stand up and say, "Okay! Brothers, lay down their arms, and kill or chop, and do as the Lord commands. If the prince is held accountable, all the responsibility will be on the last general. With that, he threw the sword in his hand, which was more than three feet long, to the ground.

When the troops saw this, they also threw down their weapons one after another and stood in place with their heads down.

Qiu Yizhi saw that this general was still daring, so he asked, "This general has a big name?" But the main commander here? ”

When the man heard this, he stepped forward with his head held high and said, "How dare you call the general of the defeated army?" The last general is just a partial general here, and the main general, General Zhu, is still on the city wall, so I implore you not to embarrass General Zhu. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened, but he didn't answer, and said to Zhao Chengxiao: "This general is a man, you send someone to watch and lock him up, don't be rude." With that, he turned around and led his men to walk towards the city wall.

On the city wall, the wounded soldiers and corpses of the Lingnan army and the imperial officers and soldiers were lying everywhere, and the only remaining Lingnan defenders had not surrendered their weapons and surrendered, but instead guarded in a tower, but after all, they had become turtles in an urn, and as long as a fire, the city tower and the defenders could burn all the ashes of the city.

Qiu Yizhi was reluctant to kill, and shouted loudly: "General Zhu can be in the building?" Can I show up and talk to my official in person? ”

He shouted three times, and finally calmly walked out of the city tower A general, only to see that a muscle was cut off from his right forearm, wrapped in a filthy battle robe, and blood was still coming out, but his left hand held the steel knife tightly, and said: "The last general is Zhu Cha, the general of Yuezhou, dare to ask this lord what advice?" ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that his face was twitching in pain, but his expression was extremely resolute, and he admired it in his heart, so he said, "Don't dare!" In Qiuyizhi, Xiashanyin County, I also ask the general to lead his subordinates to surrender, and I will guarantee that I will not embarrass you. ”

Zhu Cha suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Lord Qiu who protected His Royal Highness and escaped from Lingnan Road, and even the prince praised him, and he really lived up to his reputation, and he would not lose unjustly in the end." ”

Qiu Yizhi was happy to hear this, so he answered: "Don't dare to be." Since the prince of Lingnan spared the life of this official at the beginning, this official is willing to follow suit today and will never harm you. If you intend to abandon the darkness and join the court in the open, that is the best. If you don't want to serve the court, then please put down your weapons, and let you go back after listening to the official say a few more nonsense, if you are not convinced, it is not too late to fight with this official another day! ”

Such conditions were already extremely relaxed, which made Zhu Cha a little surprised when he heard it: "What Lord Qiu said is true? ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded solemnly: "Of course! A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase! ”

Zhu Cha thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can also trust my lord." With that, he shouted to the top of the tower, "Brothers, anyway, there is a dead person inside and out, and there is no reason to be a tired ghost again, just throw out the guys in your hands and surrender!" ”

The soldiers on the tower seemed to hesitate for a moment, and only after a moment threw their swords, guns, swords, and halberds out of the building, as if there was a rain of iron falling on the city walls.

Qiu Yizhi was happy to see this, and said with a smile: "General Zhu is a cheerful person, and the official must also abide by his promises......"

Zhu Cha didn't wait for Qiu Yizhi to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted him: "That's good, the last general doesn't look like Lord Qiu is not like a person who doesn't count when he speaks." I'm afraid that if the adults let us go, we won't be able to explain to the court, and the blame will affect the future of the adults......"

Qiu Yizhi was just about to reply: "It's okay, taking down this city is already a great achievement...... but he saw that Zhu Cha turned the steel knife upside down and stabbed him in the chest.

Qiu Yizhi exclaimed in surprise and shouted loudly: "Ji Ming, hurry up and save people!" ”
