The artillery fire of the siege was fierce, and Yingzhou City seemed to be trembling with the rumble of artillery fire.

The dead of the defenders on the city walls, and even the surviving defenders lost the courage to resist, and from under the city walls, there was no longer a single defender standing behind the battlements.

There was a sudden pause in the artillery fire, and the defenders on the city walls were in shock, and soon they, together with the victims of the city, saw the rapid advance of the bandit cavalry. A big red flag suddenly waved in the wind, that flag was too familiar to those who were soldiers, it was the military flag of the Great Shun Dynasty, and even illiterate soldiers would recognize the word "Shun" in the right body.

For the military flag, everyone who has been on the battlefield must learn to recognize it. At the border pass, wherever you see the military flag of the Shun Dynasty, it means that there will be army protection, which means that you can fight side by side with your comrades. Even if he was a deserter and was scattered by the Turks or the Southern Barbarians, he knew the direction he should go to when he saw the military flag of the Shun Dynasty.

The military flag uses "旆" to determine the rank of the person who leads the army, and judging from the system of the bandits' rise, this is the great name that only the general level of the Great Shun Dynasty has.

The generals above the rank of general of the Great Shun Dynasty can count them in a single slap. And most of these generals are the commanders of the first army, except for the female army commander and general Xu Xuanzhu, the rest are also men, and they are marquis. In addition, there is a special one, that is, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Qin ordered the forward general Tige to be the general, and the forward generals Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu are also the only general couple in the current Dashun court.

Soon the defenders and the victims saw the embroidered banner of the "Forward General", which indicated the exact identity of the leader of the army.

The bandits have suddenly turned into an army of the imperial court, and at present, the king of Huai and the new emperor are engaged in a war for the world in Jiangbei. The generalissimo Chai Jin is currently the most frequently exposed general in war reports at all levels. was supposed to lead the army to meet Liu Yu, the forward general of the Huai army. But it was as if the world had disappeared, and then it appeared coldly on the right side of the river.

"That's the army of the imperial court, and the army of the imperial court is coming!"

As soon as the insightful victims shouted, even the women and children knew the meaning of these flags.

A black-robed young general rode a horse heroically and rushed to the front, holding the military flag of the Dashun Dynasty in one hand, holding a long bamboo pole in the other, carrying a wooden support and a long pipe behind his back, and a saber pinned to his waist. Even the horse's reins were tied directly around the waist. A group of black-clothed bandits held bamboo poles together, and rushed to the front of the Yingzhou moat with the black-robed young general, jumped off the horse, and a bamboo pole crossed the river, and the black figure slid like a loach to hundreds of black-clothed people to break through the first line of defense with such ease.

In recent decades, Yingzhou has been mainly to guard against the invasion of foreign races in the south, so the repair of the city wall and the silting of the moat are all focused on the south of the city, and no one expected that the siege army would cross the river from the north. Defenses are behind.

The north moat is only a dozen steps wide, and it is only thirty or forty steps away from the city. Bows and falling rocks would be very good for blocking the attack, but at the moment the northern walls were completely suppressed by the bandits' artillery. Even these men in black suddenly rushed up to the defenders without noticing.

"Up!"

The black-robed young general gave an order.

The black-clothed man held a special hook in his hand, like a gecko on the city wall, the black shadow gradually approached the upper edge of the city wall, and when the defenders realized that the bandits suddenly stopped attacking because they wanted to let this group of people rush onto the city wall, and then counterattacked, the black-robed young man who took the lead jumped over the battlements with a vigorous posture, and with a saber in one hand and a large Shun Dynasty military flag in the other, he cut down several defenders who came to intercept him a few times left and right.

This black-robed young general was like a killing god, sometimes with a knife, sometimes with a spear, and he moved freely under the siege of more than a dozen defenders, effectively blocking the defenders' blows to the follow-up black-clothed people. The image of this scene made the entire team of victims can only look up, and they are all speculating about when there will be such a young hero in the imperial court.

This person is Huo Disease, because of the decadence of the small setbacks he suffered before, this time Liu Yu specially asked him to take the lead, and Huo Illness also fully completed the task assigned to him by Liu Yu, and was the first to rush to the city tower and stabilize the military flag of the Great Shun Dynasty.

Then sporadically, and then a large number of black-clothed people climbed the city wall and fell into a chaotic battle, the black-clothed army went from passive to gaining a foothold, and then to suppressing the city wall, and the black gradually enveloped the northern city wall and city tower of Yingzhou. The defenders had been sparse for a long time, and in the face of such a tragic battle, they had become timid and could no longer form an effective blockade. I can only witness the red and yellow military flag of the Great Shun Dynasty standing high above the city tower.

The victims began to clamour, and at this time the bandit army also began to move.

An orderly cavalry escorted the carriage and brought heavy wooden planks, the soldiers jumped into the water without fear of the cold, and built a temporary wooden bridge over the river, more and more men in black passed from the wooden bridge to the city wall, and climbed the city wall with ropes down from the city wall, and gradually the color other than black could not be seen on the city wall, and the shouts of killing gradually went from the city wall to the city.

The victims also poured out, they were cowardly in the face of the bandits, but in the face of the army of the imperial court, they were brave enough to join the besieging side, and the victims did not know where to find the logs, and began to rush to the city gate and bang on the door, although the sound was only a sound, and they could not open the city gate at all.

But soon, with the "Squeak! With a bang, the north gate of Yingzhou City was opened from the inside, and the bandits' cavalry rushed into the city first, and the victims also followed and entered Yingzhou City together.

The bandits entered the city, and the Yingzhou defenders had no fear of the absolute superiority in terms of strength, but at this time it was the regular army of the imperial court that entered the city, and just seeing the red and yellow banner embroidered with the word "Shun" had made most of the defenders frightened, and they threw their weapons and surrendered. Three thousand bandits have been around, 100,000 victims have stepped on their shoes, the imperial army is strictly disciplined, and the attacks are all effective defense targets in the city, but the disaster victims are a little out of control, and the victims who have been starving for two days began to loot as soon as they entered the city, so that the entire Yingzhou was in a state of chaos.

…………

When King Jing heard that the bandits had entered the city, the three souls who had been frightened were gone, and when he heard that the bandits turned out to be Liu Wenyan, he fainted directly to death due to unstability under his feet. The bandits are okay to say, they will not be wiped out, if it is really Liu Wenyan, he King Jing and King Huai's uncle and nephew wear a pair of pants. Is there a good end? King Jing hurriedly sought death. But the person hung on the hanging rope and didn't breathe yet. Witnessing a group of black-clothed people slaughtering into the Jingwang Palace, a young man with a young Sven raised his hand and fired a gun, and the white cloth emitted a "hiss!" The voice broke, King Jing "Wow! He fell to the ground with a thud. Immediately afterwards, King Jing was pressed to the ground and tied up.

"Yo! King Jing, you are well, I am glad to meet you! ”

At this time, King Jing was smashed by someone, his body was extremely awkward, and he was coughing violently because of the self-hanging just now. Heard Liu Wenyan's words. He really wanted to pounce and strangle him.

A few months ago, the vassal king entered Chang'an City, King Jing had seen Liu Wenyan, and he hurriedly met at the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, King Jing was deeply impressed by Liu Wenyan, a young man who quickly quelled the rebellion of the three princes that night and shot viciously, but he did not expect that after a few months, he would have a reunion with the old man in his own territory in such a way.

"Phew! You erector, this king should have found someone to kill you in the first place, leaving no trouble! King Jing said angrily.

"It's late, it's late." Liu Yu smiled. Get up and look at the situation in the Jingwang Palace, which has been completely occupied at this time. The guards were all gone, and they could only see the palace maids crying and running around. All the goods and people of the Jingwang Palace will be placed together and wait for Liu Yu's fate. Liu Yu will also dismiss the palace maids, and all the others will be used as military supplies.

Liu Yu turned his head again, looked at King Jing and sighed, "King Jing, why do you bother? ”

King Jing thought of his fate at this time, he was already in tears, crying couldn't help himself, hearing Liu Yu's words, King Jing cried and shouted: "Oh, the old man is old, the emperor's nephew is also dead, and now the old man is bullied by these grandchildren, the old man is so miserable, how can the old man go to see the ancestors of the Su family when he dies!" ”

Liu Yu heard King Jing crying there again and again, and his heart was a little furious. Originally, he still wanted to let this old man go, just let him be loyal to the new emperor anyway, so that he could also show the new emperor's might, but now that he was crying, Liu Yue really wanted to give an order to cut it down as soon as possible, so as not to listen to the sound of those bad eardrums.

Liu Yuyi waved his hand and said, "Pull this old horseman out of the gang and cut it!" ”

"You erect! The old man will not let you go...... You group of soldiers who fight for the tiger, the old man will let Lord Yama accept you early! King Jing was sad from his heart, and his crying was a little heartbreaking, "Wow, why is the old man's life so bitter!" ”

The soldiers were about to drag King Jing out of the city to cut off his head, Xu Xuanzhu also came in from outside in a military uniform, and smiled slightly when he saw Liu Yu, she didn't expect that this siege would be so smooth, and the reverence for Liu Yu in her heart deepened a little. But seeing King Jing's tragic appearance, Xu Xuanzhu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because outside the city, Liu Yue told her that Liu Yue wanted to keep King Jing and Liu Yue wanted to mobilize King Jing's troops to win the hearts of the people in the Jiangyou region, after all, King Jing had also been popular in the Jiangyou region for all these years.

"The little daughter of the Xu family, the little daughter of the Xu family, help!" King Jing recognized Xu Xuanzhu, and when he saw Xu Xuanzhu, it was like seeing the last straw that saved his life, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't you remember this king?" This king drank your full moon wine, and you were engaged to this kid before, and this king also sent congratulatory gifts. ”

Originally, Xu Xuanzhu's face was just surprised, but when he heard this, his face sank, and his expression was even slightly sad. This Jingwang Pan relationship is a little not too brainy.

Drinking Xu Xuanzhu's full moon wine, who knows if he will go? Besides, Xu Xuanzhu's family has been ruined since she was a child, and everyone relies on her to be a bad girl, and the last thing Xu Xuanzhu wants to hear is what happened when her young family was happy, which will make her blame herself. As for sending engagement gifts, King Jing was wrong about this, he thought that Xu Xuanzhu was married to Liu Yu, and the time he gave the congratulatory gift must have been when he was engaged to Liu Yu, but in fact, the unlucky person who was engaged to Xu Xuanzhu had already called her to death, and Xu Xuanzhu certainly didn't want to recall it.

Liu Yu looked at King Jing angrily and said, "I said the old horseman, are you impatient?" Asking for a quick death has also fulfilled you, what else do you want? ”

King Jing was dissatisfied: "The old man is talking to the little daughter of the Xu family, what does it matter to you?" ”

"Reminiscing?" Liu Yu had a sneer on his face, and then his face was a little hideous. King Jing's heart was cold, and when he thought about it again, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard someone say that the commander of the female army of the Dashun Dynasty was a bad girl who could see anything, and even killed several engaged people.

Such an elderly politician is a human spirit himself, and when he thinks of the trick during this period, he finds that he has touched the scales of rebellion, and the husband and wife are harmonious, and now he has to die!

"If you want to kill, you have to scrape your convenience, the old man's life is so miserable. Before the old man dies, can he fulfill the old man's last wish? ”

Liu Yu was about to listen to what he said, when Lan Jing, Huo Yi and others had already led people into the main palace of King Jing's Palace. Liu Yu could only put down the matter of this old puppet for the time being.

Lan Jing reported to Liu Yu about the current situation in the city. Yingzhou City's military strength has been basically wiped out. Most of the soldiers were known to be the bandits of the Dashun Imperial Court. Disarmed and surrendered as soon as possible, and some of the local gentry in the city who wanted to escape were blocked before they could leave the city, and now they are all sent home and waiting for Liu Yu's verdict in a panic.

King Jing was openly loyal to King Huai, and King Huai was the lord of the world, and at that time, most of the officials in King Jing's joint allegiance letter were also signed, in accordance with the laws of the imperial court. This is a great sin of plotting against the Nine Clans. Now in the entire Yingzhou City, as long as Liu Yu gives an order, there will be no chickens and dogs.

On the other hand, the victims of the disaster plundered and made trouble in the city, but the robbers did not rob, but they did rob. Although most of the victims have been suppressed by the bullets, there are still a small number of stubborn people who continue to loot large households, and there are innocent casualties.

"Anyone who commits a crime will be arrested, beheaded on the street, and killed as an example!" Liu Yu ordered sternly.

"Order!" Lan Jing respectfully accepted the order. Go down and arrange.

After finishing the matter, Liu Yu looked at Huo Zhi with a straight waist. smiled and said, "You kid, good job!" ”

Huo Yi said triumphantly: "Then it doesn't need to be said, our body is ...... Oops! ”

As soon as he patted his chest, he felt pain, originally he had blood on his chest and he thought it was the enemy's, but now he realized that he had been stabbed in the chest, and he didn't pay attention to it. Liu Yu hurriedly found someone to bandage him, and when Huo Yi saw that it was a trembling female official in King Jing's palace who bandaged him, Huo Yi looked frivolous and sat on the ground, "Hey, hey, hey!" Seeing the young general's expression, the female officer didn't even dare to approach, but knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Xu Xuanzhu finally dissolved the sadness on his face, smiled faintly, and walked up to explain a few words to the female officer, and the female official went up with hesitation to bandage Huo's wound.

…………

"Old horseman, what is your last wish, say!" Liu Yu saw Xu Xuanzhu's exculpation, and turned to look at King Jing.

"The old man knows that he will not escape death, and the whole family will not be spared, the old man only asks for one thing, I have a baby grandson who doesn't understand anything, can you let him go and leave this little bit of blood for the old man?" King Jing looked at Liu Yu with a pleading look.

As long as Yingzhou is stable, it doesn't matter whether he kills King Jing or not, and Liu Yu didn't want to kill a helpless aristocratic prisoner of war.

"King Jing, have you ever heard of an idiom called raising tigers for trouble!"

"Tiger? How can it be a tiger? My grandson is still in infancy, how can you be a threat to you if you find a peasant family who doesn't know his identity and adopt him, and he won't know his background in the future? King Jing said urgently, "As long as you leave this bit of blood and blood for the old man, you can tell the old man to do anything, write a letter to persuade my imperial nephew to return to the court, or what do you want in this right place, just say, you're welcome!" ”

Liu Yuxin said that this King Jing is really not polite. Now that the imperial court has occupied Yingzhou, King Jing's lamb to be slaughtered still says these inconsequential words, but after thinking about it, now King Jing can only promise some unreliable conditions in order to retain his blood and bones, and nothing else.

"Look at General Ben's mood." Liu Yu's face turned pale, waved his hand, and those soldiers began to drag King Jing again.

King Jing thought that the time limit had come, and he cried so darkly that when Liu Yue went out of the main hall, he saw King Jing hanging on the door beam of the main hall, and the old man was still crying vigorously.

…………

On the tenth day of the lunar month, that is, the night of the destruction of Yingzhou City, in an open valley eighty miles north of Yingzhou City, the 4,000 cavalry of the Huai Army had already camped on the spot. Hua Ji'an was very worried that the bandits would attack at night, so he paid special attention to the details of the camp defense.

At that moment, a sentry arrived at the valley in a state of confusion on horseback and nearly fell off his horse.

"General, it's not good, Yingzhou has fallen! King Jing, life and death are unknown! ”

Huaji Anden felt his blood coming up, and the whole person was a little unstable, and the subordinates behind him hurriedly held him up.

Hua Ji'an was helped to sit on the stake, smiling bitterly, originally he guessed that the bandits had the ability to go through the sky and could not capture Yingzhou City, but he didn't expect that before a day's work, Yingzhou City had become the bandits' bag, and he was still stationed in camp like a fool, and he didn't go to reinforce Yingzhou at the first time.

"General, you're fine, are you?" The subordinates all looked at Hua Ji'an with concern.

"It's fine." Hua Ji'an calmed down a little, and turned to ask the sentinel, "When is this happening?" ”

"Before the first hour of today, Yingzhou City has been captured, and it has been more than an hour before and after."

"An hour?" Hua Ji'an stood up from the stake with a shocked expression.

Xuzhou City has been trapped for two months, and it is still in a state of stalemate, and Yingzhou City is larger than Xuzhou City, and it can't even support it for two hours? Yingzhou City is a full 30,000 defenders!

The sentry detective added: "The mountain bandits showed their banners in the siege, they were Liu Wenyan, the vanguard general of the imperial court, and Xu Xuanzhu, the commander of the women's army. ”

When Hua Ji'an heard Liu Wenyan's voice, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, all his previous guesses had been confirmed by now. At first, it was speculated that Liu Wenyan disappeared to find the Marquis of Dingguo to move the rescue troops, but now it seems that Liu Wenyan didn't count on his father at all, and he took a group of elite soldiers to the rear of the Huai army to intercept the grain road.

Hua Ji'an sighed: "Let's go, let's go, hurry back, you can't stay here for a long time." ”

The subordinates hurriedly asked, "General, where are we going?" ”

"Where else can I go back, go back to Huaidi, and report to the emperor, I believe that it won't be long before Liu Wenyan will lead his troops into Huaidi, if Huaidi is not guarded by a large army, the consequences cannot be predicted!"

When the soldiers heard this, they all looked sad.

Originally, they thought that this battle was won, and King Huai would soon be the righteous lord of the world, and they would also be glorified for a lifetime.

Now it seems, Xuan!

The 3,000 bandits faced the 30,000 defenders of Yingzhou City, and conquered it in less than two hours. In other words, it is Jiankang City, how many days can it last? (To be continued......)
